II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Tukwila Urban Center Access Project (Klickitat) Ordinance to Form a Local Improvement District
Staff is seeking full Council approval of an ordinance to form Local Improvement District (LID) #33 for the
Tukwila Urban Center Access Project (Klickitat).
On October 26, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 1698, an Intent to Form a Local Improvement
District (superseded Resolution 1690, see Transportation Committee minutes dated October 5, 2009, and
City Council minutes dated October 26, 2009). A public hearing on the resolution was held on October 26.
The preliminary assessment roll was presented at a public hearing on September 21, 2009.
By unanimous approval, on October 5, 2009, the Transportation Committee moved the draft ordinance
forward to a future COW for discussion. Staff has since made some changes and an addition to the draft
ordinance. That addition requires a hearing examiner to hold the public hearing for the Final Assessment
Roll due to the technical complexities of the assessments.
Legal representation and the City's appraiser will be present at the public hearing for this ordinance which
is scheduled for November 16, 2009. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO NOVEMBER 9
COW FOR DISCUSSION.
B. Interagency Agreement with Kine County for Bride a and Emereencv On -Call Inspection Services
Staff is entering into an interagency agreement with King County in the amount of $10,812 for the
inspection of nine Tukwila -owned bridges and emergency on -call bridge inspections which may be need in
response to potential flooding.
Every publicly accessible bridge must be inspected every two years. In the past, the City has utilized
Sergeant Engineers for inspection services. King County inspection services were highly recommended by
the Washington State Department of Transportation, and based on recommendations, future needs and
County abilities, City staff will utilize the County services on a trial basis for one year.
A contract in this amount of funding does not require Committee process or Council approval. However,
staff is providing this as an informational only item on the City's annual bridge inspections.
