TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE
FROM: Public Works Director
DATE: May 12, 2010
SUBJECT: Six -Year Transportation Improvement Program (2011 -2016)
ISSUE
Jim Haggerton, Mayor
Annual update of the Six -Year Transportation Improvement Program for the years 2011 2016.
The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is updated annually as required by RCW. The TIP
is adopted by resolution after a public hearing at the local agency level and incorporated into the
regional and state TIPs. The TIP is primarily a financial planning document for projects competing
for grants. Any project submitted for federal grant funding must be included in the local, regional
and state adopted TIPs.
The TIP is a rolling plan showing various funding sources: grants, developer, and local funds.
Projects "roll" as funds or stages occur (design report, final design, and construction).
Tukwila's TIP and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) list many of the same transportation- related
projects. The TIP lists only those transportation- related projects planned within the next six years
that are deemed regionally significant. The City's CIP lists transportation projects planned in the
next six years and beyond, as well as water, sewer, surface water, and capital facilities. The TIP is
required to be adopted by July 1 on an annual basis, while the CIP is prepared during summer /fall
in conjunction with the City's budget preparation. Differences between the two may be due to
priority changes, funding availability changes, or other factors that normally occur during the time
between adoption of each document.
The attached spreadsheet is the "Draft" 2011 2016 TIP and was created by modifying the 2010
2015 TIP to add or remove projects, adjust project costs, and reprioritize the list of projects.
Added: No projects were added.
Deleted: No projects were deleted.
The Council is being asked to approve the resolution for the 2011 -2016 Six -Year Transportation
Improvement Program and consider this item at the June 14, 2010 Committee of the Whole with a
Public Hearing and subsequent June 21, 2010 Regular Meeting.

II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Annual Update to Six Year Transportation Improvement Program 2011 -2016
Staff is seeking Council adoption, via resolution, of the 2011 -2016 Six -Year Transportation Improvement
Program (TIP). The TIP is a list of regionally significant transportation projects that have grant funding
potential. This list does not commit the City to implement or construct any project.
An annual update to the TIP is required by the Revised Code of Washington (RCW). This annual rolling
program is generally modified to reflect the City's CIP, as the two are updated at different times of the year.
Differences between the two plans are often based on and reflective of the time between the adoptions of
each document as well as changes in priority and funding availability.
There are no additions or deletions to this year's update, although there are a couple projects that there is
currently no funding for including the Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program and the Walk Roll Plan.
Items such as these have been left in for granting and documentation purposes. The Committee recommends
forwarding the update to COW for discussion. A public hearing will be held on June 14 at the COW.
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JUNE 14 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
B. 2010 1s Ouarter Reports

ISSUE
INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
Mayor Haggerton
Finance Safety Committee
The City has received an application for public fire works display at Starfire Sports
complex in conjunction with the City sponsored Tukwila's Family Fourth Event. The
event is held in the northwest corner of the complex, with the fireworks being
discharged from the northeast corner of the complex.
BACKGROUND
Jim Haggerton, Mayor
Tukwila Municipal Code 8.12.20 regulates Fireworks within the City in addition to RCW
70.77. TMC requires that the City Council approve all Public Displays under TMC
8.12.20.b.
The application was received more than 14 days prior to the proposed display and has
been investigated by the Fire Marshal's Office and found to comply with the
requirements listed in RCW 70.77. This will be the eighth year we have had displays at
this location with the same pyrotechnician.
Given the location of the display the Fire Marshal's office will require the same safety
conditions as in previous years to mitigate potential fallout and crowd control issues. In
addition, this year we will require two additional fire watch personnel to be on the new
Seattle Sounder FC sports turf field. Last year we used hose lines to wet the field and to
be available for immediate use in case of falling debris that was still hot. We had two
small scorch marks that occurred. To prevent that type of damage this year, we will
require that the sport turf fields be covered in vis- queen, and we will flood that with
water. This should extinguish any hot debris on impact before it can damage the field.
ANALYSIS
This event has been very successful for the City and citizens that attend, with
attendance increasing each year. There have been no major emergency events in
previous years in regard to fire or aid calls. We have experienced the normal type of
minor fire and aid calls typical for crowds of this size.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the proposed public fireworks display permit and forward this to the Council
agenda for June 14 and 21

Re: Public Fire Works Display Permit
Nicholas J. Olivas, Fire Chief
I have reviewed the permit application information provided by Mr. Tom Whitacre, who
has applied for the permit for a public fireworks display at the Starfire Sports Complex,
14600 Starfire Way. Mr. Whitacre is a licensed Pyrotechnic Operator with the State of
Washington and with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Fire Arms. The State
Department of licensing also licenses Mr. Whitacre to transport fire works.
The display will be held in conjunction with the City's planned event on the 4 of July,
"Family Fun at the Fort", being organized by the Parks and Recreation Department. This
will be a 35 to 40 minute show starting at approximately 2200 hours. The fireworks will
be transported to the site in the AM of July 4 and will be under the required supervision
until they are discharged. The mortar tubes and other equipment will be brought to the
location on July 2 3rd
The application was reviewed to WAC 212 -17 and accepted industry standards, and we
find everything is within these guidelines.
I do have some concerns this year regarding the railroad right of way, Seattle
Sounders FC practice fields and the limited access this allows. In addition, a portion of
the fallout area includes a portion of a commercial property within the City of Renton. I
have contacted Renton Fire Officials and have not received a response at the time of
this memo. Last year the Renton Fire Marshal approved our plan, which is the same as
in previous years.
Crowd control can be a potential issue, as the crowd that assembles to watch the fire
works show has increased each and every year. Last year the traffic leaving the site
was managed with the available Tukwila Police on site and available patrol units. To
mitigate these issues believe the following measures should be done:

Page 2
Stage two fire apparatus at the site: one apparatus on each side of the Railroad right
of way. Apparatus shall be out of service during the display and for 30 minutes
following the display.
Cover the Seattle sounder FC practice fields with vis- queen, tape the seams and flood
with water. This will allow hot debris to land in water which should extinguish it
immediately and should reduce the risk of damage to the fields.
Stage two firefighters in the Seattle Sounder FC practice fields as fire watch personnel
with portable extinguishers and garden hoses supplied by Starfire staff.
Have Tukwila Police provide crowd control during the public display. A minimum of 4
officers will be required. Provide traffic control to the Fort Dent Way and Interurban Ave,
intersection to expedite traffic flow. (2 additional Tukwila Police shall be available to
respond to the site if requested.)
Comply with Fire Works Permit Conditions attached.

RE: Public Firework Display's
Dear Dave:
The City of Tukwila will again be sponsoring a public fireworks show on July 4 this year at the
Starfire Sports Complex that borders the City of Renton.
As a result of this close proximity to Renton, a portion of the fallout area is within the Renton
City limits. I have always notified and obtained approval from your office. As in past years the
City will stage a 3 person overtime Engine Company on the Renton side of the railroad
tracks in the event of a fireworks related incident. There is a small portion of one commercial
building that falls within the fallout area, and this engine company will provide coverage for this
facility as well. The engine company will be on site 30 minutes prior to the start of the display
and remain on location for 30 minutes after the show's completion. In addition, we have an
engine company located on the Tukwila side of the railroad tracks within the Starfire Complex.
We have held this event for the last 8 years at this location without an incident related to the
fireworks display and no events within the City of Renton. In previous years we have had
issues on the 4 with individuals bringing in consumer and illegal fireworks for personal use, so
we have signed the park and increased Police presence to remediate this issue with good
success.

II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Fireworks Permit: Annual 4th of July Celebration
Staff is seeking full Council approval of a Fireworks Permit Application submitted by Mr. Tom Whitacre
for the fireworks display at the City's annual 4 of July celebration at Fort Dent. Mr. Whitacre has
provided the fireworks display for the past several years. Last year, the field did incur some scorching
which resulted in about $15,000 in repair costs, covered by the vendor. This year the field will be
covered/flooded with water to avoid similar issues. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO
JUNE 14 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
B. Ordinance adontine the 2009 International Fire Code
C. Proposed Land Use Fee Schedule
City of Tukwila
Finance and Safety Committee
Staff is seeking approval to forward this item to Council for adoption. The Code, as amended, addresses
a need for adequate ground ladder access to second (and higher) story windows; provides for increased
permit fees, and establishes a broader range of penalties for violations of the Fire Code. The 2009 IFC
also requires the owners of certain types of buildings, to bring their property into current code
compliance. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL, FORWARD TO JUNE 14 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
Staff is seeking approval of a revised land use fee schedule, which would more closely reflect full cost
recovery. At Council's request, staff conducted further research comparing current and proposed fees
with neighboring jurisdictions. The new fee hours are based on the estimated number of hours
(planner /admin.) required to process each application. For certain permit types requiring significant
resources, fees would be estimated up- front, and considered a "retainer An hourly fee would be added
for hours above and beyond the base fee, as required, to cover costs. The Committee discussed the need
for Council to balance the need for full cost recovery, with other cost and revenue considerations
currently under review (i.e. tax rate on City owned utilities, business license fees, etc.) UNANIMOUS
APPROVAL, FORWARD TO JUNE 14 COW FOR DISCUSSION.

ANALYSIS
RECOMMENDATION
Jim Haggerton, Mayor
This code cycle adoption has one section that is considered a retroactive chapter for

II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Fireworks Permit: Annual 4th of July Celebration,
Staff is seeking full Council approval of a Fireworks Permit Application submitted by Mr. Tom Whitacre
for the fireworks display at the City's annual 4 of July celebration at Fort Dent. Mr. Whitacre has
provided the fireworks display for the past several years. Last year, the field did incur some scorching
which resulted in about $15,000 in repair costs, covered by the vendor. This year the field will be
covered/flooded with water to avoid similar issues. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO
JUNE 14 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
Staff is seeking approval to forward this item to Council for adoption. The Code, as amended, addresses
a need for adequate ground ladder access to second (and higher) story windows; provides for increased
permit fees, and establishes a broader range of penalties for violations of the Fire Code. The 2009 IFC
also requires the owners of certain types of buildings, to bring their property into current code
compliance. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL, FORWARD TO JUNE 14 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
Staff is seeking approval of a revised land use fee schedule, which would more closely reflect full cost
recovery. At Council's request, staff conducted further research comparing current and proposed fees
with neighboring jurisdictions. The new fee hours are based on the estimated number of hours
(planner /admin.) required to process each application. For certain pelliiit types requiring significant
resources, fees would be estimated up- front, and considered a "retainer An hourly fee would be added
for hours above and beyond the base fee, as required, to cover costs. The Committee discussed the need
for Council to balance the need for full cost recovery, with other cost and revenue considerations
currently under review (i.e. tax rate on City owned utilities, business license fees, etc.) UNANIMOUS
APPROVAL, FORWARD TO JUNE 14 COW FOR DISCUSSION.

The proposed land use fee schedule would allow the City to recover more of the cost of
permit review from applicants. It uses a hybrid fee approach that would retain fixed
application fees for most routine permit types but charge a retainer and hourly fees for
more complex, Tess predictable permits. This approach was discussed at the 4/26/10
Committee of the Whole. The Council is being asked to consider and approve the fee
resolution as well as the ordinance.

DATE: June 9, 2010
INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Haggerton
Tukwila City Council
FROM: Jack Pace, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Proposed Land Use Fee Schedule
Jim Haggerton, Mayor
The Department of Community Development (DCD) has developed a revised land use fee
schedule that would set application fees closer to the City's cost to provide development review
services, allowing the City to recover more of the cost from applicants.
BACKGROUND
The Council reviewed DCD's revenue enhancement proposal at the April 26, 2010 Committee
of the Whole meeting. They expressed support for a hybrid fee approach that would retain fixed
application fees for most routine permit types but charge a retainer and hourly fees for more
complex, less predictable permits. They also asked that the proposed fees be compared to the
average fees charged by nearby cities, see Attachment A. This chart comparing Tukwila's fees
to other cities has been expanded by including Des Moines, the only other nearby city that has
fixed fees, and adding additional permit types. This information along with the proposed fee
schedule and ordinance was presented to the Finance and Safety Committee on June 8, 2010
who forwarded it on to the full Council.
DISCUSSION
Staff has developed a land use fee schedule that would result in an expected increase in permit
revenue of 80 to 120% over current levels, see Attachment B. The actual revenue generated in
a given year depends on the number and type of permits that are submitted. For comparison
here are the actual fees received over the past few years and the estimated amount that would
have been generated under the proposed fee schedule:
Estimated
2010 2009 2008 2007
Actual Permit Revenue $86,475 $86,129 $135,297 $119,944
Estimate w /New Fees $191,306 $168,246 $240,628 $246,705
Percentage Increase 121% 95% 78% 105%
The new fees are based on the estimated number of hours of planner and administrative
support time required to process each application. Hearing examiner charges as well as the
costs for any special studies would be passed through to applicants. To be defensible permit
fees should only recover costs incurred to provide review service. The average permit fee
charged by nearby cities is listed in the far right column of Attachment B for comparison.

INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
The fee for a tree permit has been codified by ordinance as $25 since the adoption of the Tree
Regulations, TMC Chapter 18.54, in 1995. While it is desirable to keep the initial application fee
low to encourage compliance, tree regulation violations can require significant staff time to
resolve. Staff proposes adoption of the attached ordinance, see Attachment C, to remove the
fee listing from TMC 18.54.100, move it to the land use fee resolution, Attachment D, and
charge hourly for complex permits such as those to mitigate illegal tree removal in
environmentally sensitive areas.
The updated land use fee resolution is Attachment D. Given the current budget situation staff
plans to develop the necessary procedures to start charging hourly fees by the third quarter of
2010 so the fee resolution is written to take effect July 1, 2010. The resolution lists one set of
fees for the second half of 2010 and 2011 with an increase of 5% planned for 2012.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to review the fee schedule and provide comments on any changes.
The Council is also being asked to forward the resolution and ordinance on to the June 21, 2010
Regular meeting.

Staff is seeking full Council approval of a Fireworks Permit Application submitted by Mr. Tom Whitacre
for the fireworks display at the City's annual 4"' of July celebration at Fort Dent. Mr. Whitacre has
provided the fireworks display for the past several years. Last year, the field did incur some scorching
which resulted in about $15,000 in repair costs, covered by the vendor. This year the field will be
covered/flooded with water to avoid similar issues. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO
JUNE 14 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
Staff is seeking approval to forward this item to Council for adoption. The Code, as amended, addresses
a need for adequate ground ladder access to second (and higher) story windows; provides for increased
permit fees, and establishes a broader range of penalties for violations of the Fire Code. The 2009 IFC
also requires the owners of certain types of buildings, to bring their property into current code
compliance. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL, FORWARD TO JUNE 14 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
Staff is seeking approval of a revised land use fee schedule, which would more closely reflect full cost
recovery. At Council's request, staff conducted further research comparing current and proposed fees
with neighboring jurisdictions. The new fee hours are based on the estimated number of hours
(planner /admin.) required to process each application. For certain permit types requiring significant
resources, fees would be estimated up- front, and considered a "retainer An hourly fee would be added
for hours above and beyond the base fee, as required, to cover costs. The Committee discussed the need
for Council to balance the need for full cost recovery, with other cost and revenue considerations
currently under review (i.e. tax rate on City owned utilities, business license fees, etc.) UNANIMOUS
APPROVAL, FORWARD TO JUNE 14 COW FOR DISCUSSION.

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Haggerton
Finance and Safety Committee
FROM: Shawn Hunstock, Finance Director
DATE: June 10, 2010
SUBJECT: Animal Care Interlocal Agreement
ISSUE
Jim Haggerton, Mayor
The City of Tukwila has received animal control services through an interlocal
agreement with King County for many years. The City also shares the cost of an animal
control officer with the City of SeaTac for enhanced services. Due to budgetary
constraints and a desire on the part of the King County Council to pursue a full -cost
recovery model, King County will fundamentally alter how they provide animal control
services to cities that continue to contract with them. Specifically, the County will close
their animal shelter to cities by June 30, 2010 unless a regional strategy to provide
animal control services can be created, negotiated and implemented. The County has
finalized what they consider to be their best, lowest cost, option for cities to participate
in a regional animal services model. The new model forms the basis of the interlocal
agreement that Council is being asked to hereby consider and approve.
BACKGROUND
The County's new model for animal care and control was presented to the Committee of
the Whole meeting on April 26, 2010. The attached interlocal agreement and supporting
documents incorporate changes from that date. The most significant change is the
removal of certain cities that have opted out of the regional model altogether, or have
expressed an intent to only participate through the end of 2010 as they put their own
animal services model together. Cities opting out of the regional model include Bothell
and Burien.
The removal of Burien impacted the costs for Tukwila because each district shares the
burden of certain costs like animal control field services. With Burien removed, there
were fewer cities in the south county area to spread these costs over. The annual
increase in costs from what was presented on April 26 is approximately $11,000. (The
actual impact is not known at this time as costs will depend on shelter intake, calls for
service, etc). Relatively all other terms of the new animal control model remain the
same as what was presented at COW on April 26

INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
DISCUSSION
The County has provided overall cost information to the cities for field services,
sheltering and licensing under the new regional model recently developed. The total
estimated cost for animal services is $5,601,800, broken down into $1,698,500 for field
services, $3,004,900 for sheltering and $898,400 for licensing.
The County's estimated cost for Tukwila for field services ($47,153) assumes one
animal control officer for forty hours per week to cover the "240" district, which includes
Kent, Tukwila, SeaTac and Vashon Island. The County estimates that services to
Vashon Island are minimal, essentially making the service delivery to just the three
cities and small portions of unincorporated area near Tukwila. Animal control for the
entire County would include one animal control officer in each of the four districts, plus
two other officers for backup coverage during sick leave, vacations, training, etc. Some
additional resources would be shared county -wide, such as a field sergeant, an animal
cruelty sergeant and three FTE positions in dispatch. Off -duty hours would be covered
by either on -call animal control officers who are called back to duty, or King County
Sheriff's Office deputies. Total estimated costs for Tukwila for field services are based
on a three -year average of 373 calls for service from 2007 -2009.
Estimated sheltering costs for Tukwila ($84,411) are based on a 50/50 allocation of
usage at the Kent shelter and City population. The combination of usage and population
effectively spreads the cost of the Kent shelter over a larger number of King County
cities. Had the costs been allocated strictly based on shelter usage, the amounts
allocated to south King County cities would have been considerably higher. Despite the
fact that several north King County cities will be contracting with PAWS for sheltering
services, they would still contribute to system -wide sheltering costs. The County's cost
estimate for Tukwila is based on an average intake for the last two years of 268 animals
at the Kent shelter.
Estimated licensing costs for Tukwila ($12,915) are allocated based on total system
costs divided by a three -year average for licenses issued (1,207 for Tukwila). The cost
of licensing system -wide include issuance of the licenses, maintenance of owner
information to assist with tracking and placement of lost pets, preparation and
distribution of marketing materials for licensing purposes, pet owner education
programs, and public outreach in an attempt to increase licensing rates within each city.
The County has a deadline of June 30 for cities to opt in to the regional model and
formally approve and execute the new interlocal agreement.
The City appropriated $38,000 for animal control for 2010 as part of the 2009 -2010
biennial budget process. The amount required to be spent between July 1, 2010 and
December 31, 2010 is half of the $81,710 estimate the County has for Tukwila, or
approximately $41,000. This means an appropriation for the difference of $3,000 will be
needed for 2010 for animal services.

Exhibit A
Animal Service Description
Part 1: Control Services
Control Services include the operation of a public call center, the dispatch of animal
control officers in response to calls, and the handling of calls in the field by animal control
officers, including the collection and delivery of animals to the Kent Shelter (or such other
shelters as the County may utilize in accordance with this Agreement).
1. Call Center
a. The County will operate an animal control call center Monday through
Friday every week (excluding holidays and County designated furlough
days, if applicable) for a minimum of eight hours per day (normal business
hours). The County may adjust the days of the week the call center operates
based on the final choice of Control District service days.
b. The animal control call center will provide callers with guidance, education,
options and alternative resources as possible /appropriate.
c. When the call center is not in operation, callers will hear a recorded message
referring them to 911 in case of emergency, or if the event is not an
emergency, to either leave a message or call back during regular business
hours.
2. Animal Control Officers
a. The County will divide the area receiving Control Services into Control
Districts. Each of the geographic Control Districts, as shown on Exhibit B
will be staffed with one Animal Control Officer (ACO) five consecutive days
per -week (such days to be selected by the County) for not less than eight
hours per -day "Regular ACO Service Hours subject to the limitations
provided in this Section. Except as the County may in its sole discretion
determine is necessary to protect officer safety, Animal Control Officers shall
be available for responding to calls within their assigned Control District and
will not be generally available to respond to calls in other Control Districts.
Exhibit B shows the map of Control Districts for the period from July 1
through December 31, 2010; Exhibit B shows the map of Control Districts
for the period after 2010. The daily eight -hour service period shall be
determined by the County and shall start not earlier than 7 a.m. and end not
later than 7 p.m. Countywide, the County will have a total of not less than
6 Animal Control Officers (Full -Time Equivalent employees) on staff to
maximize the ability of the County to staff each Control District
notwithstanding vacation, sick leave, and other absences, and to respond to
17

04 Document Dated 5 -28 -10
1
high workload areas on a day -to -day basis. While the Parties recognize that
the County may at times not be able to staff all Control Districts as proposed
given unscheduled sick leave or vacancies, the County will make its best
efforts to establish regular hourly schedules and vacations for Animal
Control Officers in order to minimize any such gaps in coverage. In the
event of extended absences among the 6 Animal Control Officers, the County
will re- allocate remaining Animal Control Officers as practicable in order to
balance the hours of service available in each Control District.
b. Control District boundaries have been designed to balance work load,
correspond to jurisdictional boundaries and facilitate expedient
transportation access across each district. The County will provide for a
location for Animal Control vehicles to be stationed overnight in both north
and south King County.
c. The County will use its best efforts to ensure that High Priority Calls are
responded to by an Animal Control Officer during Regular ACO Service
Hours on the day such call is received. The County shall retain full
discretion as to the order in which High Priority calls are responded. High
Priority Calls include those calls that pose an emergent danger to the
community, including:
1. Emergent animal bite,
2. Emergent vicious dog,
3. Emergent injured animal,
4. Police assist calls— (police officer on scene requesting assistance
from an Animal Control Officer),
5. Emergent loose livestock or other loose or deceased animal that
poses a potential danger to the community, and
6. Emergent animal cruelty.
d. Lower priority calls include all calls that are not High Priority Calls. These
calls will be responded to by the call center staff over the telephone, referral
to other resources, or by dispatching of an Animal Control Officer as
necessary oravailable, all as determined necessary and appropriate in the
sole discretion of the County. Particularly in the busier seasons of the year
(spring through fall), lower priority calls may only receive a telephone
response from the Call Center. Lower Priority calls are non- emergent
requests for service, including but not limited to:
1. Non emergent high priority events,
2. Patrol request (Animal Control Officer requested to patrol a
specific area due to possible code violations),
3. Trespass,
4. Stray Dog /Cat /other animal confined,
18
5. Barking Dog,
6. Leash Law Violation,
7. Deceased Animal,
8. Trap Request,
9. Female animal in season, and
10. Owner's Dog /Cat /other animal confined.
e. In addition to the Animal Control Officers serving specific districts, the

County.
1. An animal control sergeant will provide oversight of and back-
up for Animal Control Officers five days per week at least 8
hours /day (subject to vacation /sick leave /training /etc.).
2. An Animal Cruelty Sergeant will be on staff at least 40 hours
per week to respond to animal cruelty cases and prepare
related reports (subject to vacation /sick leave /training /etc.).
3. Two Animal Control Officers will be on call every day at times
that are not Regular ACO Service Hours (including the two
days per week that are not included within Regular ACO
Service Hours), to respond to High Priority Calls posing an
extreme life and safety danger, as determined by the County.
f. The Parties understand that rural areas of the County will generally receive a
less rapid response time from ACOs than urban areas.
g. Cities may contract with King County for "Enhanced Control Services"
through separate agreement (as set forth in Exhibit E).
Part TI: Shelter Services

Exhibit C
Calculation of Estimated Payments
The Estimated Payment is the amount, before reconciliation, owed by the City to the
County (or owed by the County to the City if the amount calculated is less than $0) for the
provision of six months of Animal Services, based on the formulas below.
In summary and subject to the more detailed descriptions herein:
Control Services costs are to be equally shared among the 4 geographic Control
Districts. Each Contracting Party located within a Control District is to be allocated
a share of Control District costs based 50% on the Party's relative share of total Calls
for Service within the Control District and 50% on its relative share of total
population within the Control District.
Shelter Services costs are to be allocated among all Contracting Parties based 50%
on their relative population and 50% on the total shelter intake of animals
attributable to each Contracting Party, except that cities contracting for shelter
services with PAWS will pay only a population -based charge and that charge will
be one -half the regular shelter services cost population component payable by other
cities; and
Licensing Services costs are to be allocated between all Contracting Parties, based
50% on their relative population and 50% on the number of licenses issued to
residents of each Contracting Party.
Licensing revenue is to be attributed based on the residency of the individual
purchasing the license.
Each Estimated Payment covers the cost of six months of Animal Services.
Three credits are applicable to various cities to reduce the amount of their
Estimated Payments: a Transition Funding Credit (for cities with high per capita
costs); a Resident Usage Credit (for cities with low usage as compared to
population); and an Impact Mitigation Credit (for cities whose projected costs were
most impacted by decisions of certain cities not to participate in the regional
Agreement). Application of these Credits is limited such that the Estimated
Payment cannot fall below zero (before or after the annual reconciliation
calculation) with respect to the Transition Funding Credit, or below $2,750 or $2,850
(both amounts are annualized) with respect to the Resident Usage Credit and
Document Dated 5 -28 -10
27
1 13
Impact Mitigation Credit (depending on whether Bothell received Animal Services
in the Service Year being reconciled).
Estimated Payments are reconciled to reflect actual revenues and actual usage as
well as changes in population. The reconciliation calculation occurs in June of the
following calendar year. The reconciliation calculation and payment process is
described in Exhibit D. The receipt of Transition Funding Credits, Resident Usage
Credits, or Impact Mitigation Credits can never result in the amount of the
Estimated Payments as reconciled falling below the limits described in the
paragraph above ($0, $2,750 or $2,875 (annualized), depending on the credit and
whether Bothell received service under an Agreement during the Service Year).
Estimated Payment Formula:
EP= [EC +ES +EL- ER- T- U -M =2
Where:
"EP" is the Estimated Payment. For Cities receiving a Transition Credit, Resident Usage
Credit or Impact Mitigation Credit, the value of EP may not be less than the amounts
prescribed in Exhibit C 4.
"EC" is the City's share of the Budgeted Net Allocable Control Services Cost for the
Service Year. See formula below for deriving "EC.
"ES" is the City's share of the Budged Net Allocable Shelter Services Cost for the Service
Year. See formula below for deriving "ES."
"EL" is the City's share of the Budgeted Net Allocable Licensing Services Cost for the
Service Year. See formula below for deriving "EL."
"ER" is Estimated Licensing Revenue attributable to the City. For purposes of determining
the Estimated Payment in Years 2010 and 2011, ER is derived from the number of each
type of active license issued to City residents in years 2009 (the "Calculation Period
shown on Exhibit C 2. For Service Year 2010, that number.is multiplied by the cost of
those licenses in 2009 resulting in the estimated values for Service Year 2010 shown on
2009 licensing types and costs used for purposes of calculating Estimated Licensing Revenue per
jurisdiction in Exhibit C -1 include: Cat and Dog, Altered (spayed or neutered) $30; Cat and Dog, Unaltered-
$90; Cat and Dog, Juvenile (less than 6 months in age) $5; Dog, Senior (over 65)owner $20; Cat, Senior

Exhibit C -1, and then adding the amount of revenue estimated to be derived as a result of
the Transitional Licensing Support Services in 2010 to those five Cities identified in
Exhibit C -5 (the estimated Transitional Licensing Support Services revenue is also shown
on Exhibit C -1). License Revenue that cannot be attributed to a specific Party (e.g.,
License Revenue associated with incomplete address information), which generally
represents a very small fraction of overall revenue, is allocated amongst the Parties based
on their respective percentages of ER as compared to Total Licensing Revenue.
"T" is the Transition Funding Credit, if any, allocable to the City for each Service Year,
calculated per Exhibit C -4; provided however, a City identified in Exhibit C -4 is only eligible
for a Transition Credit if that City agreed to enter into this Agreement for a term through
December 31, 2012; provided further, that the amount of "T if any, for Service Year 2010
shall be applied pro rata to the calculation of the Final Estimated 2010 Payment even if,
despite the agreement of the City, the Agreement only goes into effect for 6 months or 60
days per Section 15.
"U" is the Resident Usage Credit, if any, allocable to the City for each Service Year,
calculated per Exhibit C -4; provided however, a City identified in Exhibit C -4 is only
eligible for a Resident Usage Credit if that City agreed to enter into this Agreement for a
term through December 31, 2012; provided further, that the amount of "U if any, for
Service Year 2010 shall be applied pro rata to the calculation of the Final Estimated 2010
Payment even if, despite the agreement of the City, the Agreement only goes into effect for
6 months or 60 days per Section 15.
"M" is the Impact Mitigation Credit, if any, allocable to the City for each Service Year,
calculated per Exhibit C -4; provided however, a City identified in Exhibit C -4 is only eligible
for an Impact Mitigation Credit if that City agreed to enter into this Agreement for a term
through December 31, 2012; provided further, that the amount of "M," if any, for Service
Year 2010 shall be applied pro rata to the calculation of the Final Estimated 2010 Payment
even if, despite the agreement of the City, the Agreement only goes into effect for 6
months or 60 days per Section 15.
And where:
"Budgeted Net Allocable Costs" are the estimated costs for the Service Year for the
provision of Animal Services which are allocated among the Contracting Parties for the
owner $12; Cat and Dog, Renewal, Service and Temporary, Senior owner renewal $0. License types and
costs are subject to change over time.
Document Dated 5 -28 -I0

purposes of determining the Estimated Payment. The Budgeted Net Allocable Costs are
calculated as the Budgeted Total Allocable Costs (subject to the Annual Budget Inflator
Cap) less Budgeted Total Non Licensing Revenue. The Budgeted Total Allocable Costs
exclude any amount expended by the County as Transition Funding Credits, Resident Use
Credits, or Impact Mitigation Credits (described in Exhibit C -4) or to provide Transitional
Licensing Revenue Support Services (described in Section 7). The calculation of Budgeted
Net Allocable Costs, Budgeted Total Allocable Costs and Budgeted Total Non Licensing
Revenue for purposes of calculating the Estimated 2010 Payments is set forth in Exhibit C-
3.
"Total Licensing Revenue" means all revenue received by the County's Animal Services
System attributable to the sale of pet licenses excluding late fees. With respect to each
Contracting Party, the amount Licensing Revenue is the revenue generated by the sale of
pet licenses to residents of the jurisdiction. (With respect to the County, the jurisdiction is
the unincorporated area of King County.) The value of Estimated Licensing Revenue for
each Contracting Party for purposes of calculating the Estimated 2010 Payment includes
amounts estimated to be generated from Transitional Licensing Revenue Support Services,
and is shown on Exhibit C -1.
"Total Non Licensing Revenue" means all revenue from fine, forfeitures, and all other
fees and charges received by the County's Animal Services system, excluding Total
Licensing Revenue.
"Transitional Licensing Support Services" means activities to be undertaken in specific
cities in 2010 to enhance licensing revenues, per Section 7 of the Agreement.
"Annual Budget Inflator Cap" means the maximum amount by which the Budgeted Total
Allocable Costs may be increased from one Service Year to the next Service Year, and year
to year, which is calculated as the rate of inflation (based on the annual change in the
September CPI -U for the Seattle- Tacoma Bremerton area over the rate the preceding year)
plus the rate of population growth for the preceding year for the County (including only
the unincorporated area) plus all Contracting Cities, as identified by comparing the two
most recently published July OFM city and county population reports. The cost allocations
to individual services (e.g. Control Services, Shelter Services or Licensing Services) or
specific items within those services may be increased or decreased from year to year in so
long as the Budgeted Total Annual Allocable Costs do not exceed the Annual Budget
Inflator Cap. Similarly, the Estimated Payment for any Party will increase or decrease
from Service Year to Service Year based on that Party's population and usage of Animal
Services from year to year
1 16 Document Dated 5 -28 -10

"Service Year" is the calendar year in which Animal Services are /were provided. (In 2010,
the Service Year is the period from July 1, 2010 December 31, 2010; the Estimated
Payment calculation shown in Exhibit C is based on annualized costs).
"Calculation Period" is the time period from which data is used to calculate the Estimated
Payment. The Calculation Period differs by formula component and Service Year. In
Service Years 2010 and 2011, the Calculation Period for Calls for Service "CFS Animals
"A or Licenses Issued "I (all as further defined below) is based on multiple year
averages as detailed in Exhibit C 6. For Service Year 2012 and beyond (if the Agreement
is extended into an additional 2 -year term), the Calculation Period is the year that is two
calendar years prior to the Service Year (thus, for Service Year 2012, the Calculation Period
is 2010). Exhibit C summarizes in table form the Calculation Periods for the usage and
population factors for Service Years 2010, 2011 and 2012.
"Population" with respect to any Contracting Party for any Service Year means the
population number derived from the State Office of Financial Management (OFM) most
recent annually published report of population to be used for purposes of allocation of
state shared revenues in the subsequent calendar year (typically published by OFM each
July, reflecting final population estimates as of April of the same calendar year). The OFM
reported population will be adjusted for annexations of 2,500 or more residents. For
example, when the final Estimated Payment calculation for 2012 is provided on December
15, 2011, the population numbers used will be from the OFM report issued in July 2011
and will be adjusted for all annexations of 2,500 or more residents that occurred (or will
occur) between April 1 and December 31, 2011. By way of further example, the
reconciliation of the 2012 payment (calculated in June 2013) will incorporate adjusted
population numbers based on the OFM population report issued in July 2012 adjusted for
all annexations of 2,500 or more residents that occurred between April 1, 2012 and
December 31, 2012. Where annexations occur, the City and County population values will
be adjusted pro rata to reflect the portion of the year in which the annexed area was in the
City and the portion of the year in which the area was unincorporated. The population of
an annexed area will be as determined by the Boundary Review Board, in consultation
with the annexing city. The population of the unincorporated area within any District will
be determined by the King County demographer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
population for all potential Contracting Parties for purposes of determining the final
Estimated 2010 Payment will be based on the July 2009 OFM report, adjusted for
annexations occurring through the end of December 2010, as known as of April, 2010, and
shown on Exhibit C and the reconciliation of the Estimated 2010 Payments (calculated
in June 2011) will incorporate changes to population as reflected in the 2010 U.S. Census
(results expected to be published April 2011).

Exhibit C -1 shows the preliminarz, calculation of EP for July 1— December 31, 2010,
assuming that the County and all Cities that have expressed interest in signing this
Agreement as of May 27, 2010, do in fact approve and sign the Agreement and as a result
the Minimum Contract Requirements with respect to all such Cities and the County are
met per Section 15.
Component Calculation Formulas:
EC is calculated as follows:
EC {[(C x .25) x .5] x CFS} {[(C x. 25) x .5] x D -Pop}
Where:
"C" is the Budgeted Net Allocable Control Services Cost for the Service Year, which
equals the County's Budgeted Total Allocable Costs for Control Services in the Service
Year, less the Budgeted Total Non Licensing Revenue attributable to Control Services in
the Service Year (for example, fines issued in the field). Budgeted Net Allocable Control
Services Cost for Service Year 2010 is $1,698,600, calculated as shown on Exhibit C -3, and
shall be similarly derived for Service Years after 2010.
"CFS" is the total annual number of Calls for Service for the Service Year for Control
Services originating within the City expressed as a percentage of the CFS for all Contract
Parties within the same Control District. A Call for Service is defined as a request from an
individual, business or jurisdiction for a control service response to a location within the
City, or a response initiated by an Animal Control Officer in the field, which is entered
into the County's data system (at the Animal Services call center or the sheriff's dispatch
center acting as back -up to the call center) as a request for service. Calls for information,
hang -ups and veterinary transfers are not included in the calculation of Calls for Service.
A response by an Animal Control Officer pursuant to an Enhanced Control Services
Contract will not be counted as a Call for Service. For purposes of determining the
Estimated Payment in 2010 and 2011, the Calculation Period for CFS is the 3 -year period
from 2007 -2009, resulting in an annual average number of Calls for Service for the City
and each Contracting Party as shown on Exhibit C- 2.
"D -Pop" is the Population of the City, expressed as a percentage of the Population of all
jurisdictions within the applicable Control District.
1 1 8 Document Dated 5 -28 -10

ES is calculated as follows:
If, as of the effective date of this Agreement, the City has entered into a contract for shelter
services with the Progressive Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) in Lynnwood, WA, then, for
so long as such contract remains in effect, the City will not pay a share of shelter costs
associated with shelter usage "A" as defined below) and instead the Estimated Payment
will include a reduced population -based charge reflecting the regional shelter benefits
nonetheless received by such City, calculated as follows (the components of this
calculation are defined as described below).
ES (S x.5x Pop) -:2
If the City does not qualify for the reduced population -based shelter charge, ES is
determined as follows:
ES [S x .5 x Pop] (ESP x Pop2) (S x .5 x A)
Where:
"S" is the Budgeted Net Allocable Shelter Services Cost for the Service Year, which equals
the County's Budgeted Total Allocable Costs for Shelter Services less Budgeted Total Non
Licensing Revenue attributable to Shelter operations (i.e., adoption fees, microchip fees,
impound fees, owner surrender fees, from all Contracting Parties) in the Service Year. The
Budgeted Net Allocable Shelter Services Cost for purposes of calculating Estimated 2010
Payments is $3,004,900 as shown on Exhibit C -3, and shall be similarly derived for Service
Years after 2010.
"ESP" is the sum of all reduced shelter costs payable in the Service Year by all cities
qualifying for such reduced charge.
"Pop" is the population of the City expressed as a percentage of the Population of all
Contracting Parties.
"Pope" is the Population of the City expressed as a percentage of the Population of all
Contracting Parties that do not qualify for the reduced population -based shelter charge.
"A" is the total number of animals that were: (1) picked up by County Animal Control

purposes of the Estimated Payment in 2010 and 2011, the Calculation Period for "A" is the
two year period of 2008 and 2009, resulting in an average annual shelter usage number for
the City and each Contracting Party as shown in Exhibit C 2.
EL is calculated as follows:
EL [(Lx.5x Pop) +(Lx.5xI)1
Where:
"L" is the Budgeted Net Licensing Services Cost for the Service Year, which equals the
County's Budgeted Total Allocable Costs for License Services in the Service Year less
Budgeted Total Non Licensing Revenue attributable to License Services (for example, pet
license late fees) in the Service Year. The Budgeted Net Licensing Cost for purposes of
calculating Estimated 2010 Payments is $898,400, calculated as shown on Exhibit C 3, and
shall be similarly derived for Service Years after 2010.
"Pop" is the Population of the City expressed as a percentage of the population of all
Contracting Parties.
"1" is the number of active paid regular pet licenses (e.g., excluding 'buddy licenses" or
temporary licenses) issued to City residents during the Calculation Period. For purposes
of calculating the Estimated Payment in 2010 and 2011, the Calculation Period for "I" is
the three year period from 2007 -2009, and the resulting average annual number of licenses
as so calculated for the City and each Contracting Party is shown on Exhibit C -2.

Exhibit C -4
Transition Funding Credit "T Resident Usage Credit "U and
Impact Mitigation Credit "M Calculation and Allocation
Transition Funding Credit
The Transition Funding Credit has been calculated to offset costs to certain cities on a
declining basis over four years. Cities qualifying for this credit, as shown below, are those
that under the basic Animal Services cost allocation formula (allocating costs generally
based half on population and half on usage), would pay the highest per capita costs in
2010.
To determine the initial level of the Transition Funding Credit, $250,000 has been allocated
to Cities with preliminary estimated 2010 cost allocations (before considering offsetting
Licensing Revenue) exceeding $6 per capita; an additional $400,000 was allocated to the
Cities with preliminary estimated 2010 cost allocations (before considering offsetting
Licensing Revenue) exceeding $8 per capita. (The per capita cost allocations used to
qualify for this credit may be derived from Exhibit C -1 in column caption "Estimated
Total Cost Allocation" divided by the population for the jurisdiction as shown in Exhibit
C -2.)
The Transition Funding Credit declines over time: 50% of the annual amount (since the
service year is six months, rather than a full year) is allocable to each qualifying City in
calculating the Estimated 2010 Payment; 100% of the amount is allocable again in
calculating the 2011 Estimated Payment; 66% of the amount is allocable in 2012. If the
Agreement is extended for an additional two years, 33% of the amount is available in 2013;
no Transition Funding Credit is allocable in 2014.
The credit is only available to a qualifying City if that City has agreed to a 2.5 Year
Agreement. Application of the credit can never result in the Estimated Payment Amount
being less than zero ($0) (i.e., cannot result in the County owing the City an Estimated
Payment).
The allocation of the Transition Funding Credit is shown in Table 1 below.

Resident Usage Credit
The Resident Usage Credit has been calculated to offset the costs of certain cities agreeing
to a 2.5 year Agreement that have a low use of King County animal services relative to
their population. The amount of the credit is different depending on whether the City of
Bothell is receiving service during a given Service Year. The credit has been determined
by comparing the estimated cost Cities would pay on an annualized basis in 2010 if the
regional payment model was based solely on usage (including estimated costs payable to
PAWS by cities that will be contracting for shelter services with PAWS) to the cost payable
under the adopted model (which incorporates both usage and population, including
estimated costs payable to PAWS by Northern Cities that will be contracting for shelter
services with PAWS). The credit is set so that no City that has a Preliminary Estimated
2010 Cost Allocation after considering 2009 Licensing Revenue (as shown in Exhibit C -1 in
the column captioned "Estimated Net Cost Allocation of over $5,000 (an annualized cost)
pays more than 120% above what it would pay under a usage -based model that assumes
all cities that expressed interest in participating as of May 5, 2010 sign an Agreement;
provided that, a City must sign a 2.5 year Agreement to qualify for the credit; and provided
further, that credits are fixed in amount as shown in Table 2 below and will not change
regardless of which Cities sign the Agreement. As annualized, the credit is carried forward
each year without change through 2012. Application of the credit can never result in the
Final Estimated Payments for any Service Year being less than $2,750 for receipt of Animal
Services in that year if Bothell is served under an Agreement in such Service Year and not
48
Less than $2,875 for receipt of Animal Services in that year if Bothell is not served (for
Northern Cities with PAWS contracts in effect as of July 1, 2010, calculations are made
inclusive of a City's actual payments for such year to PAWS for shelter services). These
minimum values are annualized (thus, for example, in 2010, if Bothell is served, the Final
Estimated Payments cannot be less than $2750 2 $1,375).

Notes:
1.The residential usage credit does not change with time; it only varies based on whether Bothell is

credit payable in 2010 will be one half the value in column 2 above; the credit payable in 2011 will
be the amount in column 3.
2.Kirkland will receive this credit from and after the time the Kirkland PAA is annexed, in
addition to the credit noted in the row above labeled "Kirkland."
Impact Mitigation Credit
The purpose of this credit is to limit the impact to Contracting Cities signing for a 2.5 year
Agreement as a result of three cities (Burien, Algona and Pacific) deciding as of May 5,
2010, that they would not participate in the model, as compared to the costs presented to
all cities in April, 2010, and assuming all other Cities shown in Exhibit C -1 sign the
Agreement. The amount of the credit is sized to ensure that a City's Preliminary
Estimated Payment after applying the Residential Use Credit and the Transition Funding
Credit is not greater than 10% more than the Preliminary Estimated 2010 Cost from the
April 2010 model and not greater than 15% more than such Cost if Bothell does not
contract for service past December 2010; provided that the credit amounts are fixed as
shown in Table 3 below and will not change regardless of which Cities sign the
Agreement; provided further that only Cities signing a 2.5 year agreement qualify for the
49
135
credit; and provided further that application of the credit can never result in the Estimated
Payment Amount, of less than $2,750 for receipt of Animal Services in that Service Year if
Bothell is served under an Agreement in such Service Year and not less than $2,875 for
receipt of Animal Services in that year if Bothell is not served (for Northern Cities with
PAWS contracts in effect as of July 1, 2010, calculations are made inclusive of a City's
actual payments for such year to PAWS for shelter services). These minimum values are
annualized (thus, for example, in 2010, if Bothell is served, the Final Estimated Payments
cannot be less than $2750 2 $1,375).

Exhibit D
Reconciliation
The purpose of the reconciliation calculation is to adjust payments made each Service Year
by Contracting Parties to reflect actual use, population, Licensing rates and licensing and
non- licensing revenue data as compared to the Estimated Payments made. To accomplish
this, an Adjusted Payment "AP" calculation is made each June for each Contracting City,
using the same formulas from Exhibit C but substituting actual values as described below
(with one additional component calculation related to Enhanced Service Contracts).
For Service Year 2010, AP is calculated based on actual values from the six month period
of the Agreement from July- December 2010, compared against the 2010 Final Estimated
Payment for the same six month period, thus:
EP —AP =R
For Service Years 2011 and beyond, AP is an annualized number, and is compared to the
total Estimated Payments owed by the Party for the Service Year "EP x 2 to determine a
Reconciliation Adjustment Amount "R thus:
(EP x2) —AP =R
The value of "R" can be positive or negative; provided that in no event shall a City receiving
a Transition Funding Credit for the Service Year pay less than $0 for receipt of Animal
Services in that year, and in no event shall a City receiving a Resident Usage Credit or
Impact Mitigation Credit for the Service Year pay less than $2,750 (annualized) for receipt
of Animal Services in that year if Bothell is served, nor less than $2,875 (annualized) for
receipt of Animal Services in that year if Bothell is not served in such year (for Northern
Cities with PAWS contracts in effect as of July 1, 2010, calculations are made inclusive of a
City's actual payments for such year to PAWS for shelter services).
As described in Exhibit C, the amount of the Estimated Payment(s) "EP for each Service
Year are derived from applying Budgeted Net Allocable Costs and historical
(Calculation Period) use, population and licensing data to the formulas set forth in
Exhibit C. These formulas are restated below, substituting actual value components
(denoted by an "A" in subscript) for purposes of calculating "AP." Terms not otherwise
defined here have the meanings set forth elsewhere in Exhibit C or the body of the
Agreement.

"IA" is the actual number of active paid regular pet licenses (e.g., excluding buddy licenses
or temporary licenses) issued to City residents during the Service Year.
If the resulting calculation shows that the City's AP forthe Service Year is less than EP for
Service Year 2010 (EP x 2 for Service Years 2011 and beyond), the difference "R shall be
paid to the City by the County not later than August 15; provided that R shall be limited

year if Bothell is served and not less than $2,875 (annualized) for receipt of Animal
Services in that year if Bothell is not served (for Northern Cities with PAWS contracts in
effect as of July 1, 2010, calculations are made inclusive of a City's actual payments for

Exhibit D -1
Calculation of Support Cost Adjustment Factor
Associated with Enhanced Control Service ("0")
The Support Cost Adjustment Factor is intended re- allocate certain indirect costs
associated with Animal Control Officers (ACOs) when an Enhanced Control Service
Contract is in place for any Contracting Party and the Enhanced Service is being provided
during Regular ACO Service Hours as defined in Exhibit A, Part I, Section 2.a.
If a Contracting Party purchases Enhanced Control Service during any part of a Service
Year, and that Enhanced Control Service is provided during Regular ACO Service Hours,
then a Support Cost Adjustment Factor ("0") will be calculated for all Contracting Parties
in the same Control District. This calculation will be applied as part of the reconciliation
process.
If no Contracting Party within the Control District purchased Enhanced Control Service
during any part of a Service Year, or if Enhanced Control Service was purchased but was
not provided during Regular ACO Service Hours, then there is no Support Cost
Adjustment Factor (that is, the value of "0" is zero).
If "0" is not zero, its value will be calculated as follows:
First, identify the Non Direct Service Support Costs for Control Services in a single Control
District (including the management, animal cruelty sergeant, call center and IT costs and
general overhead costs; excluding salary, benefits, vehicle and equipment costs).
Second, divide this Non- Direct Service Support Cost number by 2 (since half these costs
are funded through the population -based factor in calculation of "CA to derive the
Allocable Support Costs.
Third, divide the Allocable Support Costs by 6 (the number of regular ACOs funded in the
base service model) plus the number of Enhanced Animal Control Service Officers
providing service in the Control District. For example, if a City (or Cities) in the Control
District has purchased .5 FTE equivalent of Enhanced Service, the divisor is 6.5. The
resulting dollar amount is then multiplied by the FTE equivalent for the Enhanced Service
officer (in this example, .5) to derive the Support Cost Adjustment Factor.
Document Dated 5 -28 -10
60
147
The Support Cost Adjustment Factor is then applied as follows to determine the value of "0"
for each Contracting Party in the Control District:
1. One Half the Support Cost Adjustment Factor multiplied by the Contracting Party's
percentage of Calls for Service (CFSA) is applied as a reduction in costs for all
Contracting Parties in the Control District.
2. One Half the Support Cost Adjustment Factor (shared pro rata if Parties are sharing
an Enhanced Control Service officer within the same Control District) is applied as
an addition in costs for the Contracting Party purchasing Enhanced Service.
A hypothetical example follows, based on 2010 Annualized Costs, assuming .5 FTE
Enhanced Control Service purchased by 1 City in a Control District:
Total Allocable Control Service Costs in the base model $1,698,500
(excluding costs of enhanced service officer):
Allocable Control Service Costs per District ($1,698,500 4) $424,625
Non Direct Service Support Costs for Control Services in a Single $196,450
Control District
Allocable Support Costs (allocable based on Use) $98,225

A. The County shall provide enhanced Control Services to the City in the form of an
animal control officer dedicated to the City "Dedicated Officer as described in
Attachment A (Enhanced Service Options Matrix). Such services shall be provided for the
period of time and cost described on Attachment A and may not be for a term of less than

(1) year of service, in 2010 dollars, and include the cost of the employee (salary, benefits),
equipment and animal control vehicle for the employee's use. Thus, the cost for service
for July 1 through December 31, 2010 will be one -half the amount shown in Attachment A.
Annual costs are subject to adjustment each year, limited by the Annual Budget Inflator
Cap (as defined in the Agreement).
1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a City requesting enhanced control services

hour day minimum). If such additional service is not funded by the County, the City's
Contract for enhanced Control Services will remain in effect for such longer period as the
City has requested (not less than one -year in total).
B. Services of the Dedicated Officer shall be in addition to the Animal Services otherwise
provided to the City by the County through the Agreement. Accordingly, the calls
responded to by the Dedicated Officer shall not be incorporated in the calculation of the
City's Calls for Service (as further described in Exhibit C and D to the Agreement).
However, if the City is requesting that the Enhanced Service occur during Regular ACO
Service Hours, the City will pay a Support Cost Adjustment Factor as part of the
62
149
Reconciliation Adjustment Amount, calculated per Exhibit D -1 of the Agreement, in
addition to the costs described herein.
C. The scheduling of work by the Dedicated Officer shall be determined by mutual
agreement of the contract administrators identified in Section 16 of the Agreement, and the
mutual agreement of officials of other Cities named as contract administrators that have
committed to sharing in the expense of the Dedicated Officer; provided in the event the
parties are unable to agree, the County shall have the right to finally determine the
schedule of the Dedicated Officer in order to best meet the requests of multiple cities in
light of work rules applicable to the Dedicated Officer.
D. Control Services to be provided to the City pursuant to this Enhanced Services
Contract include Control Services of the type and nature as described under the
Agreement with respect to Animal Control Officers serving in Control Districts, and
include but are not limited to, issuing written warnings, citations and other enforcement
notices and orders on behalf of the City, or such other services as the Parties may
reasonably agree.
E. The County shall provide the City with a general quarterly calendar of scheduled
service in the City, and a monthly report of the types of services offered and performed.
F. An FTE will be scheduled to serve 40 hour weeks, however, with loss of service hours
potentially attributable to vacation, sick leave, training and furlough days, a minimum of
1600 hours per year will be provided. Similarly, a half -time FTE will provide a minimum
of 800 hours per year. The County shall submit to the City an invoice and billing voucher
at the end of each calendar quarter, excepting that during the 4th quarter of each year
during the term of this Contract, an invoice shall be submitted to the City no later than
December 15th. All invoiced amounts shall be payable by the City within 30 days of the
invoice date.
G. The City or County may terminate this Enhanced Services Contract with or without
cause upon providing not less than 3 months written notice to the other Party; provided
that, if the City is sharing the Enhanced Control Services with other Contracting Cities,
this Contract may only be terminated by the City if: (1) all such other Contracting Cities
similarly agree to terminate service on such date, or (2) if prior to such termination date
another Contracting City or Cities enters into a contract with the County to purchase the
Enhanced Control Service that the City wishes to terminate; provided further: except as
provided in Paragraph A.1, a Contract may not be terminated if the term of service
resulting is less than one year.

ISSUE
DATE: April 23, 2010
OPTIONS
City of Tukwila
INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Haggerton
Committee of the Whole
FROM: Shawn Hunstock, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Executive Summary Animal Services Options
Jim Haggerton, Mayor
The City has until April 30 to let the County know if we are interested in continuing to
participate in negotiations for an interlocal agreement with the County for animal
services. If we do not want to continue with the County, and either provide the service
ourselves or in conjunction with surrounding jurisdictions, we can either begin providing
that service on July 1, 2010, or sign an extension with the County that would go until the
end of this year.
In reviewing how animal services could be provided within the region and in Tukwila
specifically, six potential alternatives were developed to be potentially feasible for how
the City could provide this service to our residents:
Procure the service through a regional King County model for the County's
proposed 2.5 year term
Procure the service through a regional King County model for six months, then
provide the service either individually or through a sub regional model with Kent,
SeaTac and /or Burien
Provide the service in -house
Provide the service through an interlocal agreement with SeaTac to share the cost
of all three services (animal control, sheltering and licensing)
Provide the service through a sub regional consortium model with SeaTac and
Burien
Provide the service through a sub regional consortium model with SeaTac, Burien
and Kent
Cost and Revenue of New Regional Animal Service Model
The County has provided overall cost information to the cities for field services,
sheltering and licensing under the new regional model recently developed. The total
estimated cost for animal services is $5,601,900, broken down into $1,698,600 for field
services, $3,004,900 for sheltering and $898,400 for licensing. The costs allocated to
Tukwila specifically are $38,031 for animal control, $78,208 for sheltering and $12,000
155
156
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
for licensing, for total costs of $128,239. These costs are offset by projected revenue of
$30,348, for a net cost of $97,891. The County is offering transitional support of
$23,609, bringing the net cost down to $74,282. The current budget for animal care
services is $38,000, which means the City would need to increase the budget by
$36,282 to fully cover the $74,282 total cost.
Below is a listing of each option and the net impact on the General Fund.
Option 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 Total
County regional model 2.5 year contract 42,141 74,282 92,927 103,691 114,823 427,864
Tukwila only model 48,946 139,652 145,967 154,663 163,861 653,088
Tukwila /SeaTac model 48,945 153,618 116,381 120,986 125,760 565,688
Tukwila /Burien /SeaTac model 48,945 87,876 67,265 70,419 73,694 348,199
Tukwila /Burien /Kent /SeaTac model 48,945 46,048 36,933 39,355 41,930 213,211
Assumes a six month contract with King County, then local or sub regional model beginning 1/1/2011.
The above costs do not include continuation of enhanced services in Tukwila. The
County has estimated the cost of enhanced services to be $120,000 per year, per FTE.
The cost would need to be shared by neighboring jurisdictions if a particular city was
interested in enhanced services. For instance, if Tukwila and SeaTac continued to
share the cost of an animal control officer for enhanced services, the increased cost
would be $60,000 for each city. It does not appear likely at this time that we would have
a third city, such as Kent or Burien, to share this cost with.
The County has a deadline of April 30 for cities to indicate whether they are interested
in continuing to work on and negotiate an interlocal agreement for animal care services.
The purpose of the April 30 deadline is for the County to finalize the regional model,
and if necessary due to major cities pulling out, rework the cost allocations and service
district boundaries.
RECOMMENDATION
The administration recommends signing the two and a half year contract with the
County. Although this is not the lowest cost option, this would give the City some time to
evaluate the service that the County provides, and if necessary put our own model
together to meet the needs of the residents. Continuing to work with the County for the
time being will give us the ability to further evaluate the costs and impacts of a City only
or sub regional model, and how these options might compare to the County's regional
model for service delivery. The administration is also recommending not pursuing
enhanced services at this time. This option can be added later if the City determines a
need for it based on call response times under the County's new regional model.
A general consensus by Council is needed at this time for continuing negotiations with
the County on a regional model. This is a non binding action. The interlocal agreement,
if Council chooses that option, will come to a Regular Meeting in May for action.

D. Bond Ordinance for Southcenter Parkway Extension
Staff is seeking approval of an ordinance providing for the issuance of new bonds in the amount of just
under $6 million. The Committee discussed the issue of combining the needed funds for the Southcenter
Parkway construction costs, together with Emergency Preparedness Capital equipment costs. The cost of
each bond processing can be as high as $200,000, so it is staffs recommendation that the two needs be
combined into one bond. This bond application has already been reviewed with Moody's, and there were
no issues /concerns regarding the combining of these two areas into one bond. The Committee asked that
the list of Emergency Preparedness Capital Assets be explained in further detail prior to Council review.
One of the items (Fire/Police Command Unit) has grant funds attached, and there were some concerns
that delays in moving this forward would jeopardize these grant funds. Staff were asked for the
following:
1. Determine what the implications would be of splitting this bond application into two separate
ordinances (Southcenter Parkway Construction, EOC Capital Assets)
2. What will the implication be of not moving forward at this time?
3. Would there be any cash flow implications related to State reimbursement on the Southcenter
Parkway construction work if there is any delay in issuing bonds?
4. The language in the agenda materials needs to be clarified to reflect that this bond would not be
used for items already purchased.
STAFF WAS ASKED TO ADDRESS THE QUESTIONS ABOVE AND BRING BACK TO
COMMITTEE, IF THERE ARE NO NEGATIVE IMPLICATIONS OF WAITING. IF
STAFF DETERMINES THAT A DELAY WILL ADVERSELY IMPACT GRANT FUNDS OR
OTHER ISSUES, THEY W ILL NOTIFY THE COMMITTEE CHAIR AND DETERMINE
NEXT STEPS.
E. Animal Control Interlocal Agreement
Staff is seeking Council approval to enter into an Interlocal Agreement with King County for animal
control services. The City of Burien has decided not to be part of the Interlocal, which will raise
Tukwila's costs by about $11,000 /year. Committee discussed the options of individual City's
establishing fees or fines on recurring "problem properties UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.

PROPOSAL: Eliminate the Crime Prevention Officer (CPO) position and reduce crime
prevention services.
DESCRIPTION: The Police Department provides a variety of crime prevention services and
programs. One commissioned officer and a civilian employee manage and
coordinate most of these services. We would reassign the officer to patrol and
reduce our commissioned staffing from 71 to 70. Dissolving the CPO position
creates a cost savings of approximately $97,000 in 2011.
SERVICE The primary impacts are as follows:
IMPACT: Reduction of crime prevention through environmental design surveys for
businesses
Reduction of the number of workplace safety presentations provided to
local business
Reduction of crime prevention information booths at community events
Elimination of Citizens Academy
Close the Neighborhood Resources Center
The NRC is currently staffed with the CPO and approximately five volunteers and
is open Monday through Friday 9 AM to 4 PM. The center would no longer be
open to the public. We would continue to operate the camera monitoring center
and marijuana testing facility housed in the NRC or relocate it as it is used
regularly by our employees.

PROPOSAL AND ASSESSMENT
Reduce Fire Prevention staffing by 1 Captain's position.
Fire prevention was staffed up several years ago to deal with the vast
amount of construction activity that was in the planning stages. Those
projects are completed and construction activity is down significantly. The
position would move into training to fill the position being vacated in
February next year by the retirement of our training captain.
The two remaining inspectors and the fire marshal will have more
significant workloads. It should be anticipated that the service level to the
construction community will be reduced, that they will have to wait longer
to receive their inspections. It will take longer for prevention personnel to
respond to complaints and to provide assistance to crews in need of aid
when performing inspections.
No decision is needed at this time. Staff will formalize this budget

DATE: June 10, 2010
SUBJECT: Fire Service Options
ISSUE
Should the City of Tukwila pursue an alternative governmental structure for providing fire
services to the community?
BACKGROUND
INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
Jim Haggerton, Mayor
The City Council has requested a presentation regarding optional methods of providing fire
protection services to the Tukwila community. Options available to the City include:
1. Maintain the Tukwila Fire Department as a City department.
2. Annex to an adjacent existing fire district.
3. Form a Regional Fire Authority with one or more adjacent existing fire service providers.
4. Join an existing adjacent Regional Fire Authority.
Options 2 through 4 are evaluated by the attached "Comparison of Fire Service Options City
of Tukwila" (Attachment A). Attachment A summarizes Tukwila's potential partners, statutory
provisions, the approval or formation process, governance and financial issues associated with
these options.
A fifth option not currently being evaluated would be a "contractual consolidation" through an
interlocal agreement. This has been used in some instances to facilitate the transitional period
when fire protection authorities consolidate, or for limited resource sharing purposes.
DISCUSSION
Like many other services, the cost of maintaining and improving fire protection and emergency
services has increased substantially in recent years. Several communities in the State of
Washington have pursued consolidation of fire service providers as a more cost effective way to
maintain or improve these services. This has been accomplished primarily through fire district
annexations and through formation of Regional Fire Authorities (RFAs). Examples in King
County (see Attachment B) include:
South King Fire and Rescue, which has consolidated several smaller fire districts serving
Federal Way, Des Moines and adjacent unincorporated areas;
Valley Regional Fire Authority, which consolidated the fire departments of the cities of
Auburn, Algona and Pacific;
169
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
Kent Regional Fire Authority, which consolidated the Kent Fire Department and King
County Fire District #37 (including the City of Covington).
Consolidating fire service agencies may reduce costs and /or improve services through
economies of scale and by reducing the duplication of facilities, equipment and various
operations.
Consolidation through annexation to a fire district, or by forming or joining a Regional Fire
Authority has the additional benefit of allowing the creation of a "fire benefit charge" that can be
used to more closely align the financial contribution that various categories of properties
contribute toward fire protection services, to the cost of providing those services.
Finally, consolidation through annexation to a fire district, or by forming or joining a Regional
Fire Authority may free up additional revenue capacity for member cities (more fully described
by Attachment A).
The primary difference between the fire district and the RFA options is related to "governance."
When annexing to a fire district, all authority for establishing service levels, operating policies
and budgets become the responsibility of the existing elected fire district commission. When
forming a Regional Fire Authority, elected officials from and designated by the forming partners
constitute the RFA's governing board; thus the forming partners retain management
responsibilities for fire protection services. It should also be noted that formation of a Regional
Fire Authority would likely take two years or more. Annexation to an existing fire district, or
joining an existing RFA might be accomplished in a slightly shorter period of time.
Attachment C is a "Frequently Asked Questions" excerpt from the Regional Fire Authority
Implementation Guide produced by the Washington Fire Chiefs Association and the Washington
State Council of Fire Fighters.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an RFA?
An RFA is an abbreviation for Regional Fire Authority, which is the common term for what the state
law refers to as a Regional Fire Protection Services Authority. The RFA law is a legal process to allow
the voters of that area to consider fire service consolidation and regionalization of services to produce
service efficiencies. The RFA encourages Fire Districts and Municipal Fire Departments to consider
consolidation by treating both entities equally.
Where can Ilearn more about the law that allows the RFA?
Recent changes to state law now allow the process of forming an RFA, RCW 52.26 see RFA RCWs
for the actual law.
Why combine services?
The purpose of the Regional Fire Authority is to provide the citizens with the best level of fire
protection and emergency medical services with through combined resources. The cost of maintaining
and improving fire protection and emergency medical services has increased substantially. Combining
services may provide the most cost effective service for our citizens through economies of scale,
macro service delivery strategies, removing duplication and erasing borders.
How big can an RFA be?
Basically, as big as you want it to be. As an example, the new Kitsap RFA with Bremerton Fire
Department, Central Kitsap Fire and Rescue and South Kitsap Fire and Rescue would
serve approximately 200,000 citizens, 300 square miles, $16 billion in assessed value, operating budget
of $40 million, 200 career Firefighters /EMT and Paramedics and 100 active volunteers and support
service personnel. The vision dictates that this new RFA must demonstrate value for the citizens now
and into the future. Other current RFA's include Valley Regional Fire Authority (VRFA), which
combined the cities of Auburn, Algona and Pacific, and Riverside RFA which combined Lewis
County Fire Protection District #12 and the city of Centralia. Both of these RFAs are working very
well within their plan and vision.
What is the Vision Statement for the Kitsap RFA?
The vision of the RFA is: Provide the highest quality emergency fire and EMS service for our citizens with the
available resources. The Strategy is: To develop a consolidation work plan and determine f it provides net efficiencies in
fire and EMS service delivery between Bremerton Fire Department, Central Kitsap Fire and Rescue, and South Kitsap
Fire and Rescue.
How is the RFA set up?
The law allows the establishment of a RFA Planning Committee to explore the process of
regionalization. The Planning Committee then creates the RFA Steering Committee to provide the
information necessary for the Planning Committee to make sound decisions to the creation of the
RFA. The ultimate authority for the creation of the RFA rests with the voters when the RFA
Planning Committee forwards its recommendations and a ballot measure is placed before the voters.
Who are the .members of the committees?
The members of the RFA Planning Committee for any planning process include three (3) members
from each participating agency. Thus, if you were looking to combine two (2) cities and two (2) fire
30
175

Regional f=ire Authority Implementation Guide
districts, the Planning Committee would be comprised of twelve (12) members (6- City Council
members representing the 2 cities, and 6- Commissioners representing the 2 fire districts).
When and where are the meetings held?
The RFA Planning Committee establishes meetings on a regular basis at an established time and
location (which can rotate as deemed proper by the Planning Committee). The purpose of these
meetings is to gather information for the development of the Plan. These should be open public
meetings to allow for public input, as well as their education on the RFA concept.
How the work is accomplished and is there a time line?
The process of developing the RFA work plan will be for the Steering Committee to develop strategic
statements for all of the project task items and once approved by the Planning Committee, then
organize the work and produce a recommendation in a timely manner for consideration by the
Planning Committee.
How will the RFA be funded?
The funding options for the Regional Fire Authority are the same as those available for the Fire
Districts. Those options include property tax funded fire levies, EMS levies, bonds, excess levies.
Benefit service charges are considered a fee for service and are permitted in lieu of the last fifty cents
of property tax funded fire levy revenue. Finally, non -tax revenue, such as transport fees, contracts
and other assessments are available as possible funding sources. Any funding mechanism must be
approved by the voters by the same majority that the fire district measures required.
When the RFA is approved by the voters, what happens to existing career and volunteer
personnel?
All personnel (career and volunteer) from all involved agencies would be transferred to the new
department and retain their status through new agreements. Some member's assignments may change
to support emergency service delivery improvements. The key to a successful transition is to involve
Labor early in the process, and ensure that wages, hours and working conditions are negotiated as per
RCW 41.56.
Is it mandatory for the Labor Unions to combine when an RFA is formed which
covers two or more organized labor groups?
No it is not. However, it is strongly suggested that Labor be involved from the beginning when
contemplating and developing an RFA. Their input and support will be extremely important in the
successful implementation of an RFA. Additionally, it is strongly suggested to work together with
Labor under the auspices of RCW 41.56 related to collective bargaining to ensure that all members are
handled fairly with regards to wages, hours and working conditions. While different labor groups may
work under different collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) for a short period of time during the
inception of an RFA, it is strongly suggested that,a new CBA be fairly negotiated and implemented by
both parties as soon as is practical.
Does the law allow additional fire districts or municipalities to join the RFA after it has been
formed? Can two or more RFA's join together or merge?
No. Under current law, there is nothing which allows for any additional entities (fire districts or
municipalities) to formally join an RFA, except under a contract for service or contractual
consolidation. RFAs are not currently allowed per legal statute to merge or annex areas, or have cities
annex into them once the RFA has been formed.
31
l Fire Afithe,
F='mWntoPaof€ Guide
When a City annexes into a Fire District, the City's property tax levy capacity increases from
$3.375 per $1000 of assessed valuation to $3.60 per $1000 of assessed valuation, less the amount
the Fite District collects (either $1.50 or $1.00) and any funds collected by a Library District
(up to $0.50). Does the same thing happen when a City becomes part of an RFA?
No. The statute does not allow for the same benefit to a City annexing into a Fire District (the
increase in property tax levy availability) as when a City becomes part of an RFA.
What is the impact of LEOFF 1 liabilities on parties considering formation ofa Regional Fire
Authority (RFA)?
The obligation for LEOFF 1 liabilities (especially for retired members) would succeed to the surviving
entity just as if that new entity had incurred the obligation in the first place (much like a "successor
employer" succeeding to the obligations of its predecessor under collective bargaining agreements).
This is true whether the combination were a fire district merger or formation of an RFA. The
surviving entity (an RFA in this circumstance) would be responsible for all LEOFF 1 liability
previously incurred by the former fire agencies (i.e. former fire districts or municipalities now involved
with the RFA).
Can the governing body members ofa regional fire authority (RFA) formed under chapter
52.26 RCW be compensated for their services under the existing laws, much like fire district
commissioners are compensated under RCW 52.14.010?
The answer is yes. While not expressly stated within RCW 52.26, the opinion of Legal Counsel is that
Governing Bodies may indeed be compensated for their attendance at meetings much like that of Fire
District Commissioners. This provision should be addressed within the RFA Plan. Under the
authority of the Plan, and applicable statutes, the governing body should adopt its governing rules and
policies. One of those rules or policies could include a rule or policy establishing the compensation
policy of the RFA for board services. It makes most sense for the compensation policy to be in
accord with the language of RCW 52.14.010, which currently provides compensation of $90 per day or
portion thereof, whenever a board holds a meeting or a member otherwise provides authorized
services.
