A. Westfield Shoppinetown North Sewer Repair Bid Award Jim M explained that in the original
1969 agreement with the Mall, all utility lines were the City's responsibility. In the new 2005
developer's agreement, all utilities were returned to Westfield Mall yet we had to repair a "dip" in
one of the sewer lines before turnover. The low bid came in under budget and we have worked
with Construct Company before with satisfactory results. Joan asked where Lift Station No. 2 was
located and was told that it is at the intersection of Minkler and Andover Park West. Unanimous
approval: forward bid award of $100.559.62 to COW.
B. 35 Ave S Emereencv Pine Repair Proiect Completion and Acceptance Ryan stated that the
emergency repair was completed and that the contract is ready to be closed out. Clay pipes that had
disintegrated over time caused the sinkhole. Joan stated that the original contract had gone to
Transportation Committee and it was explained that due to the emergency, the contract was added
to the next available Committee agenda, which was Transportation. It is a Utilities contract under
Surface Water. Unanimous approval: forward to Regular Consent.
Other: Information Only
Email from a citizen reporting a road hazard on E Marginal Way South had been repaired.
Undergrounding of TIB Phase II III. Jim H. requested that the Utilities Committee be kept
informed of any ongoing developments. Jim M. stated that staff had met with the design
consultant, KPG, and that they will have the bid ready by June 1, 2007. We will determine then if
Seattle City Light will pay for undergrounding and if so, will bid with undergrounding included as
an additive. If SCL does not have the funds available, then we will bid with the reduced scope
package. It was estimated that the design itself will cost SCL approximately $70,000 with the
undergrounding at $6 million.
TIB Phase I undergrounding. SCL's power lines have been removed and Qwest is in the process
of removing their lines and will also be responsible for removal of the poles. The poles may be
removed as soon as next week. We will then start patching the holes left by the poles and the final
paving of S 144 St. We are in the process of negotiating the final payment to SCL for Phase I
and S 144 St undergrounding.
WSDOT's 1 -5 paving projects will close lanes near Seattle from August 10 through 29. An article
in the Hazelnut was suggested, as this will impact our roads.
Jim H. reported on the FCC's Cable Franchising legislature and distributed an Executive
Summary by Miller Van Eaton that summarizes the issues. Qwest is currently lobbying for a
"State" franchise as opposed to dealing with each City's right -of -way. Jim H. also stated that he
would be attending the National League of Cities Conference this weekend.
Joe Duffie reported a pothole at S 140 and 55 Ave S that seems to be getting bigger. Jim M.
also discussed the detention pond that Joe had asked about and was told that staff will contact the
property owner with the possibility of installing a fence due to the children that pass by the area
everyday.

Kimberly A. Walden LaTricia R. Kinlow
Presiding Judge Court Administrator
To: Tukwila City Council
From: Kimberly A. Walden, Presiding Judge
Date: March 12, 2007
Subject: Work Crew Alternative Concept Proposal
ISSUE:
In 2005, Tukwila's City Council raised concern over offenders participating in the
County's work -crew program without the City of Tukwila benefiting from their
participation.' The Council increased the Court's 2006 budget for the purpose of funding
a part -time work crew supervisor. Judge Walden, the Court Administrator and
Probation Officer teleconferenced with the City of Olympia Probation Coordinator
regarding their work crew program. She discussed work crew situations that raised
significant concerns regarding liability. In addition she firmly believed that a part -time
work crew officer scenario would be "impossible" as the program would require full -time
coverage.
BACKGROUND:
On March 22, 2006, the Court hosted a joint meeting with the Administrative Services
Director and the City Attorney to discuss the Council's request for a City sponsored
Work -Crew and share the information we received from Olympia. The consensus of all
involved parties is a work -crew program may create considerable liability for the City.
Based on these meetings and discussions with other agencies (City of Seattle Municipal
Court, Kent, Auburn, Renton Probation, and various criminal justice organizations), we
propose the following alternative program.
RECOMMENDATION: Jail Alternative Program
The court recognizes the need to move from the "business as usual" approach
traditionally used in the criminal justice system. With the increased jail expense for
housing defendants and with the recent rulings involving DUI offenders and the court's
expected role in monitoring the offenders, it is time for the court to rethink the way we
do business. Therefore we propose the Jail Alternative Program. The program would
address the Council's desire to create a work crew program that directly benefits our
community and may significantly reduce jail costs.
Proaram's Three Prongs
Defendants who are ordered to serve a jail commitment may (if not explicitly
prohibited) apply with the Jail Alternative Specialist (J.A.S.) to serve their time through
the Jail Alternative Program. Defendants would pay a $25.00 application fee plus
$10.00 per day in costs for prongs 1 and 2.
1. Community Work Alternative
Local non profit organizations and City Departments can elect to participate
Defendants may select organization to perform community work service

In 2006, the City Council increased the Court's budget for funding a part -time work
crew program specialist. The Court would use the allocation to fund the part -time Jail
Alternative Specialist position. The Position Description Questionnaire has been
forwarded to Human Services and is being processed at this time.

Business Aeenda
A. Work Crew alternative concept and proposal
Ms. Breiner related that in 2005, the city council raised concern with offenders participating in the County's
work crew program without the City benefiting from participation. In the 2005 budget, .5 FTE was
allocated for a work crew supervisor. Judge Walden spoke with multiple agencies and cities discussing the
ork crew program. Significant concerns regarding liability to the city were raised along with the expenses
to provide necessary equipment such as `gloves, rain gear, water, tools, and other supplies. Also a .5 FTE
position is not sufficient to provide adequate supervision. She further pointed out that there is a high failure
rate of offenders completing their assignments. For example, in the City of Tacoma, 80% of the people
assigned for work crew failed to appear and of those who appeared, only 50% returned after lunch. A jail
alternative program has been developed. This alternative program will help to reduce jail costs for the city.
It will also provide education to offenders and offer community service to agencies and city departments.
Ms. Breiner related that this would be a voluntary program. Offenders would pay a $25 application fee and
$10 daily fee. These costs may be waived if an offender is indigent. Based on the application, an offender
could participate in a community work alternative (7 hours of community work 1 day service 2 days of
jail time); participate in day reporting (on Fridays only when court is closed) wherein offenders would serve
their time in the courtroom and educational videos would be shown on a variety of topics such as consumer
awareness, drug and alcohol (2 days of day reporting 3 days of jail time); or participate in pre -trial
electronic home monitoring. She reviewed the cost savings to the city. Ms. Breiner related that there is far
less liability with this type of program and everyone who meets the criteria would be eligible to participate.
She noted that if offenders do not complete their commitment, the entire jail time would be served. The
goal is to implement this program by the end of January. Mr. Haggerton expressed concern with having to
hire additional staff to staff this program. Ms. Breiner noted that there would be limits on the number of
people participating in the program. Ms. Carter assumed that standards would be set. Ms. Breiner replied
that there would be no electronic devices, no sleeping, no offensive reading material, etc. The goal would
be to provide information which would focus on the crimes committed by a group of people. Ms. Carter
asked about the next steps. Ms. Berry stated that the council authorized a work crew and what is proposed
is different but accomplishes the objectives identified. This information will be shared with the full council
in January. This position is in the proposed budget. Ms. Breiner indicated that steps are in place to begin
the hiring process. Information Only.
B. Year End Budget Documents
1) Ordinance amending the 2006 budget
Mr. Fuhrer highlighted amendments to the 2006 budget. He noted that the budget is monitored mid -year to
assess actual expenditures. He reviewed the proposed amendments which have been discussed throughout

Subject: I -405, I -5 to SR 169 Widenine Project Cooperative Agreement
ISSUE
Cooperative Agreement between Tukwila and WSDOT for the I -405 Widening Project Design
Build process.
BACKGROUND
On March, 25, 2004, the City and WSDOT entered into a Memorandum of Understanding that
described how the two agencies would cooperate during design and construction of the I -405
Widening Project. In that MOU, it was acknowledged that future, more detailed agreements
would be necessary throughout the length of this complex project. The original MOU intended to
establish the "ground rules" for both Tukwila and WSDOT to follow.
ANALYSIS
The I -405 Widening Project is about to enter into it's next phase, moving from the very
preliminary design and into the design -build portion. The I- 405Widening Project is using the
design -build model, in which WSDOT executes a single contract with a design -build contractor
for design and construction services to provide a finish product. In this model, WSDOT defines
the basic objectives for the project and develops outcome -based requirements to ensure the project
is designed and constructed in accordance defined design and regulatory criteria. The Contractor is
then tasked with completing the project in accordance with the outcome -based requirements;
however, specific details of design and construction are up to the Contractor to complete.
The Request for Qualifications of Design -Build teams was published on November 8, 2006.
WSDOT anticipates that they will have selected the Design -Build team this coming spring and the
work will begin on July 1, 2007. Actual work on I -405 is anticipated to begin in early -mid 2008.
The attached draft Cooperative Agreement was originally presented to the Transportation
Committee in November 2006. It formalizes the decisions that WSDOT has made on the
preliminary design, which has included public comment and close coordination with Tukwila staff
and elected and appointed officials. The Cooperative Agreement further outlines how
communication will be done throughout the remaining Design -Build process.
Comments were made by the Committee in November and have been incorporated. Additionally,
the City Attorney's office has reviewed and commented on the agreement and those edits have
been made. WSDOT Headquarters as well as the Attorney General's office have also reviewed
the agreement.
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize Mayor to sign Cooperative Agreement between Tukwila and WSDOT for the I -405
Widening Project Design -Build process.

Business Agenda
A.Tukwila Int'l Blvd Phases II III Proiect Scone and Bidding. Alternatives
Jim reviewed the cost saving measures that included eliminating the conversion of overhead utilities, different
retaining walls and eliminating some improvements in WSDOT's limited access area. Despite a four -month
effort, no additional funding is available. We will be including an additive alternate to the bid package that will
request a bid on a portion of the overhead power lines from just south of Homeland Security to north of
Intergate West (this section of undergrounding has a cost estimate of $1.7 million). Joe commented that he
would like to see the project with undergrounding if the budget allows. Jim is in contact with SCL regarding the
undergrounding. If SCL does not underground now, any future work by SCL would have to be underground
and SCL would have to pay 100 Pam Carter was in contact with Sabey Corp and was told that there was a
possibility of funding. Pam also requested the SCL timeline for the TIB Phase I undergrounding with all of the
delays. The current estimate for this project is to go out for bids in April with a bid opening in May and a
Notice to Proceed in Sept. (if there are no other delays). Pam Carter will report this item at tonight's COW
meeting and ask if Council would like to review the information presented to this committee. Majority
approval, seek guidance at tonight's COW.
B.I -405 Widening. Proiect
Cyndy Knighton stated that this issue is a review of the MOU that was presented to the Committee in
k
4 November 2006. The delay has been due to WSDOT. The MOU mainly covers communication guidelines for
the design -build project. Pam asked for some additional definition of "design- build" that will be included in the
revised information memo. The State Attorney General and our City Attorney have both reviewed and
approved the cooperative agreement. WSDOT hopes to have completed the selection of the Design -Build team
this month. Consensus by the committee thought it would be better for WSDOT to give a presentation to full
Council once the team has been selected. Majority approval; forward to March 12 COW.
C. Sound Transit 2 RTID
Pam Carter requested that the proposed ballot measures be presented. Jim reviewed the highlights of both
packages and that voters must approve both packages or neither one passes. Jim stressed that the increase on
MVET is $80 per year for each $10,000 of vehicle value. If a household owns two vehicles each worth
$20,000, the MVET cost will be $320, plus the sales tax increase of $125 for Sound Transit 2 and the $25 sales
tax for RTID for a grand total of $470 for a typical household. These additional taxes would continue for 20 -30
years. Pam explained that the RTID is a local tax that would cover state roads but would not financially impact
Eastern Washington. However, some cities in this area are not endorsing the initiatives, as they are not directly
receiving any improvements. The RTID package does not include the Alaskan Way Viaduct. The Sound Transit
2 package does include the Longacres Station. The City of Tukwila did agree to support additional funding for
the Southpark Bridge when it was transferred and the bridge replacement is included in the RTID package. Pam
Carter informed the Committee that there would be a RTID Open House on March 20 at Highline Community
College. Joe asked if Sound Transit is going to the airport in this phase and Jim responded that ST does have
the funds and should be at the airport by 2010. There was a discussion on all of the agencies that currently
oversee transportation issues in the State and how there is legislature to change the process. Information Only.
Other
Jim reported on active projects along with the levee certification and the NPDES permit.

(T.H.E.) Tukwila's Healthy Employee Program
SUBJECT: Council Resolution for Support of Wellness Program
DATE: February 26, 2007
In the process of completing our fourth WellCity Award application for AWC this
January, we became aware of a new requirement in the application: A resolution
showing City Council support for a City's wellness program. While we have
obtained Council approval for the separate 502 Insurance budget fund that includes
wellness programming (Ordinance 1681, dated 12/13/93), as well as developed
program guidelines (see attached), there has been no official resolution from City
Council showing support for the wellness program which has been in existence since
1994.
We ask that you move this resolution forward in the normal course to the next
C.O.W. meeting and to Regular meeting for adoption. We must submit a copy to
AWC no later than April 1st in order to qualify for the award based on our 2006
wellness programming and activities.
Stephanie Brown and I would also like to make a special presentation to the City
Council later this spring for the purpose of sharing some of the highlights of our
wellness program, as well as answering any questions you may have at that time.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA,
WASHINGTON, EXPRESSING THEIR SUPPORT OF THE EMPLOYEE
WELLNESS PROGRAM, "T.H.E. TUKWILA HEALTHY EMPLOYEE)
PROGRAM."
WHEREAS, in 1994, the City of Tukwila initiated "T.H.E. (Tukwila Healthy
Employee) Program," a wellness program that benefits its participants by promoting
health and wellness through information, services and programs; and
WHEREAS, this program increases participants' awareness of their health options
by helping them to acquire the knowledge, skills and motivation to achieve and
maintain healthy lifestyles; and
WHEREAS, the benefits of employee wellness programs typically include reduced
absenteeism, increased job satisfaction, reduced stress levels, improved employee
morale, and more prudent use of healthcare systems; and
WHEREAS, the improved fitness and good health of the City's employees is a
benefit to our citizens through more productive employees, and as a prudent strategy
to control healthcare expenditures;
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA,
WASHINGTON, HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
The City Council hereby expresses their continued support of the City's wellness
program, "T.H.E. (Tukwila Healthy Employee) Program," and provides that the

Finance Safety Committee
March 5, 2007 5:00 p.m.
Present: Jim Haggerton, Chair; Joan Hernandez and Dennis Robertson, Councilmembers.
Rhonda Berry, City Administrator; Bev Willison, Administrative Secretary.
Business Agenda
A. Resolution supporting employee Wellness Program
Ms. Willison briefly explained the need for the council resolution of support. Although the requirements
on the AWC WellCity award application have not changed significantly, AWC has been advised by their
auditor that the Wellness Committee guidelines submitted in prior years are no longer sufficient to meet
the specific requirement of the City having adopted a resolution or ordinance that states the public
purpose of the wellness program. It is for this reason that a resolution showing council support of
wellness has been drafted. Ms. Willison explained that many other cities are facing the same issue this
year in their application process. Discussion followed highlighting some of the 2006 wellness activities
and goals. Ms. Willison indicated that she and Stephanie Brown would be providing a special
presentation to the Council later this spring, including a slide show and explanation of program activities.
Councilmember Robertson stated he would be proud to give support to this program. Unanimous
approval. Forward to March 12 Committee of the Whole.
Miscellaneous
A. Emergency preparedness of fire stations
Councilmember Robertson requested a discussion of Tukwila fire station emergency preparedness be
placed on the agenda for the next Finance Safety meeting, inviting Public Works Director Jim Morrow,
Fire Chief Nick Olivas, and Finance Director Kevin Fuhrer to attend. Mr. Morrow has predicted a cost of
up to $2 million for needed supplies and wiring to bring our four stations up to the required emergency
preparedness standards. Councilmember Robertson stated he would like to move ahead this year, rather
than delay until 2008, even if this required a staggered phase -in of the stations. Ms. Berry indicated
monies could possibly be found in 303 Facilities or identified elsewhere. Councilmember Robertson
recommended using this year's money this year. Unanimous approval to add to March 19 Finance
Safety agenda.
B. Monthly /annual financial reports
Councilmember Hernandez requested a more complete explanation of the monthly /annual financial
reports. It was agreed a discussion/explanation from Finance Director Kevin Fuhrer would be helpful.
Ms. Berry inquired if the entire Council would benefit from these discussions, instead of limiting them to
the Finance Safety Committee. Councilmember Robertson acknowledged the explanation of the
annual reports should take place at the Committee of the Whole meetings. Chairperson Haggerton asked
that Mr. Fuhrer provide a report to Finance Safety at the next meeting, and a decision would be made
following as to whether or not this information would be more beneficial presented to all
councilmembers. Unanimous approval to add to March 19 Finance Safety agenda.
C. Outstanding resolutions
Chairperson Haggerton asked if there were other issues in the City requiring resolutions that Council was
not aware of, similar to the resolution supporting wellness. Ms. Berry indicated an audit might be able to
identify other issues, but there was no good way to do a search absent an audit. Information only.

INFORMATION MEMO
To: Committee of the ole.
From: Steve Lancaster t
C.C: Bob Benedicto
Date: March 19, 2007
Subject: Adoption of the 2005 National Electrical Code.
ISSUE
An amendment to Title 16 of the Tukwila Municipal Code to transfer responsibility for
enforcement of the State Electrical Code (2005 N.E.C., NFPA 70) to the Department of
Community Development Building Division.
BACKGROUND
The installation of wires and equipment that convey electric current and the installations of
equipment to be operated by electric current, in, on, or about buildings or structures is permitted,
reviewed and inspected by the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries. The
Department of Labor and Industries maintains this authority throughout the state of Washington
except in those jurisdictions that have exercised their authority to enact an ordinance to assume
this responsibility.
DISCUSSION ANALYSIS ALTERNATIVES
The Permit Center currently issues all required development permits except for electrical work
permits. The ability to issue electrical work permits would be the last component necessary to
make the Permit Center truly a "one stop" resource for Tukwila citizens. In addition, an
electrical code enforcement program administered by Tukwila would bring local control of the
revenue, plan review, inspection approval and appeals process.
RCW 19.28.010 allows cities to assume the responsibility for enforcement of the National
Electric Code, provided that the adopting ordinance requires an equal, higher, or better standard
of construction and an equal, higher, or better standard of materials, devices, appliances, and
equipment than that required by the State. The proposed ordinance for the city of Tukwila
would provide for a standard equal to that enforced by the Department of Labor and Industries.

Electrical inspectors hired by the City would have to meet the same qualifications set forth for
State electrical inspectors. Consequently, this will create a timing and coordination challenge for
implementing an electrical code enforcement program. In order to meet this challenge I have
had discussions with the City of SeaTac regarding an interlocal agreement whereby our permit
Center would issue electrical work permits and the City of SeaTac would provide plan review
and inspection services. A draft interlocal agreement has been reviewed by the legal staff of the
respective cities and a copy included as an attachment herewith.

Approve the adopting ordinance and interlocal agreement.

ELECTRICAL FEE COMPARISON
The following is a comparison of the electrical fees charged by Labor Industries and the fee schedule
proposed for Tukwila. The major difference is in the method of assessing fees.
Labor Industries has a fee schedule that assigns a fee to each category and element of the electrical work.
In addition, progress inspections and trip fees are charged on every job where multiple inspections (or
partial inspections) are requested. Consequently, the Labor Industries fee can only be estimated since
the fees that are charged are dependent upon the number of progress inspections, re- inspection fees and
number of trip fees.
The proposed electrical fee schedule for Tukwila assigns a fee for single family residential work and a fee
based upon a percent of the valuation of the electrical work for commercial projects. This methodology is
modeled after the fee schedules of the City of SeaTac, Burien, and Renton.

Wynetta Bivens, Administrative Secretary
Absent: Pam Linder
Business Agenda:
Electrical Code Bob Benedicto gave an overview of the adoption of the 2005 National
Electrical Code. If the code is adopted, Title 16 of the Tukwila Municipal Code would be
amended to transfer responsibility of the State Electrical Code to the Department of Community
Development, Building Division. The proposed ordinance that has been established by the
Department of Community Development if approved would enforce the following:
The City of Tukwila would have jurisdiction for permitting and inspections of electrical
installations.
Appeal Process the City of Tukwila would have hearing examiner authority to hear and
rule on appeals. This would be a two tier process, which would be heard by the Building
Official first.
The administration and enforcement of the National Electric Code.
A permit and inspections fee schedule.
To satisfy L I guidelines, this ordinance would need to be of equal or greater standards than
what the State requires.
The City of Tukwila is interested in entering into an interlocal agreement with the City of SeaTac.
If the draft interlocal agreement, which has been established between the two Cities, is adopted,
SeaTac will handle plan reviews and inspection services for Tukwila. Implementing this
agreement would alleviate time constraint issues.
Mr. Robertson commented that the interlocal agreement looks like a good working agreement.
He inquired whether the terms of the agreement would be in effect for one year. Mr. Benedicto
confirmed that it would be a one year agreement initially, with the intention that Tukwila will hire
its own inspector. After the electrical inspector is hired the interlocal agreement would provide
an on call source of coverage when the workload requires.
Ms Carter requested that page 4 of the draft interlocal agreement is modified to include
documentation stating that the appeal process will be heard in accordance with the TMC process.
It was requested that a comparison sheet of the City's fees vs. L &I fees be included for residential
and commercial projects. Also, provide examples showing how the City has simplified the
complex fee schedule used by L &I.
Effective immediately, the Building Department has a desk, car, and computer available to staff
the electrical inspection position. Based off of 2006 projection permit fees, there will be
sufficient revenue to pay the salary for this position. Recommendation was unanimous to go to
the 3/12/07 COW for approval.
