Dear Mr. Grisham:
Thank you for submitting the 2013 City of Tukwila Comprehensive Emergency Management
Plan for Washington State Emergency Management Division (EMD) review, required of
emergency management organizations, as defined by RCW 38.52.070.
Our local jurisdiction plan review criteria measures a plan's consistency with the National
Response Framework, the National Incident Management System, and the Washington State
Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan, while complying with the content requirements
of Chapter 118 -30 -060 WAC and Chapter 38.52.070 RCW. Our evaluation also takes into
consideration the unique needs and circumstances of your jurisdiction. Based on these review
factors, your plan meets the standards in most areas and exceeds in others. In addition to these
requirements, we recommend using the Comprehensive Preparedness Guide (CPG) 101,
Version 2; November 2010 as guidance for your next update.
To ensure that your jurisdiction remains eligible for the Emergency Management Performance
Grant (EMPG) funding program, please submit your maintenance schedule (in accordance with
Chapter 118 -09 -030 WAC) as part of your annual EMPG application for funding. You will need
to submit your updated Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan to EMD again in four
years.
Congratulations on this significant endeavor. My point of contact for plan review and any
emergency management planning assistance you may need is Karen Ferreira, (253) 512 -7057.

II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Resolution: Adopting the City's Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan
Staff is seeking Council approval of a resolution that would adopt the Tukwila Comprehensive
Emergency Management Plan (CEMP). Pursuant to state law requiring jurisdictions to submit
their CEMP to the Washington State Emergency Management Division every four years, this
plan was approved by the State on November 15, 2013. Tukwila Municipal Code requires an
annual review of the CEMP in addition to the state requirement. This version represents a
comprehensive overhaul and is organized based on FEMA standards. Committee members
discussed the "Emergency Support Function Responsibility Matrix," and asked questions about
City communication with the School Districts in the event of an emergency. Staff confirmed that
next steps in this process will include updating relevant agreements and memoranda of
understanding with other agencies, including the schools. Another step that will occur this year is
an update to the Continuity of Operations /Continuity of Government (COOP —COG) Plan, which
will be reviewed by the Council. A training program has been created which will include tabletop
exercises and drills. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO FEBRUARY 10, 2014
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
B. Resolution: Tukwila, City of Opportunity Scholarship
Staff is seeking Council approval of a resolution that would establish the City's first scholarship
program, the "Tukwila City of Opportunity Scholarship," for eligible high school students living in
the City. This annual scholarship would award up to $4,000 to an eligible student, selected by a
committee comprised of the Mayor and /or his or her designee, the City Council President, a City
staff appointee and a Tukwila School District employee. This committee will present a
recommendation to the City Council for approval of up to 4 awards, and recipients will be notified
by April 30 each year. Committee members and staff discussed ideas to promote the
scholarship opportunity, including a press event or a launch at a Council meeting. UNANIMOUS
APPROVAL. FORWARD TO FEBRUARY 10, 2014 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.

Priority is Safety and Maintenance - How do we increase safety and security in existing sites.
Emphasize the uniqueness of each park and their issues: programs are the parks; look to provide
opportunities for neighborhood mtgs/BE3Q at parks to gather input: how are parks integrated into the
neighborhoods,
Maintain what we have should be a consideration vs. acquiring new_ long-term sustainability from a
maintenance standpoint.
Noting that the overall needs turned out to be more similar than different (overall vs. resident specific)
Resident vs. Non-res/business = not parallel in my mind when it comes to spending $$ (policy

The efforts of the City to reach out to historically underserved communities is very admirable.
There seems to be a lack of making ecosystem/env ronmental management and ecoliteracy a priority
in the Plan. With the number of shoreline and other restoration projects the City has agreed to steward,
it seems inherent that meaningful environmental stewardship planning and capacity-building is a
priority in the City

A first glance it appears that this might be due to the size of the site, however, considering the other
parks (Fort Dent, for one) and with Codiga included on the list, a seems that DHP should be. And
perhaps Cecil Moses and North Wind's Weir, should they come on line in the TPR Dept The
ontiguous element of these sites along the river are a prominent feature of our park system
It will be encouraging to see more shoreline restoration on sites of traditional park use, such as the

S
Tukwila is a community of many
cultures and backgrounds, with a
population and work force that is
constantly evolving. As a part of a
dynamic region Tukwila will continue to
grow, adding thousands of new
residents and jobs. One of the first and
most frequent interactions new
residents and employees will have is
with the system of public spaces and
facilities that beautify and support the
wide range of recreational opportunities
offered in the city. This system includes
the lands, facilities and programs owned
and operated by the City of Tukwila, as
well as the public, community based
and private partner providers that
expand the opportunities for fitness, fun
and relaxation.
The Parks, Recreation and Open Space
(PROS) Plan provides a responsive,
flexible guide for the continuing
evolution of the system. The City will
play a major role in this evolution, as
developer, programmer and partner. The
projects presented in this PROS plan
are the first implementation of the
citywide vision adopted in Tukwila's
Strategic Plan, representing the
alignment of City efforts and opening
doors to State and Federal funding.
Community Priorities
The City of Tukwila has committed itself
as an organization that finds more
effective ways to reach its highly diverse
community of residents, as well as its
many visitors and employees. During
development of the PROS Plan, the City
reached a wide cross section of the
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
community. This wealth of public input
revealed five-six overarching themes
that describe the community's desires
for the park, recreation and open system
in Tukwila.
• Accessible and connected parks and
recreational opportunities
• Parks and Open Space that are safe,'
well maintained, and integrated into
their local neighborhoods
• Walking and biking, health and
wellness
• Socializing, gathering and a sense of
community
• Opportunities for all
• Affordability and convenience
Determining Needs
The PROS Plan defines needs through a
quantitative and qualitative analysis of
the desires, ideas and concerns
identified by the community. Focusing
on the overarching themes, the analysis
utilized the City's geographic
information system data (GIS) to build a
visual map illustrating how park users
travel to parks. The planning team
conducted further research to
understand the types of recreation
opportunities that exist in these parks
Tukwila Parks, Recreation and Open Space Draft Plon
t Formatted: Bullets and Numbering J
37
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
There are six categories that comprise
the future concept.
RIVERFRONT PROJECTS
The Green /Duwamish River is a central
feature in Tukwila for both recreational
and environmental reasons. Projects
within this river corridor need to be
recognized for their relationship with
the river and with each other. The PROS
Plan aligns and unifies the efforts of
many riverfront projects.
PARTNER SITES
Building a complete system in Tukwila
relies on the use of partner sites
including the Tukwila Pool, school sites,
community organizations and sites that
are owned or operated in partnership
with other public entities. Expanding
and protecting public access to these
sites is critical to meeting community
needs.
CONNECTIONS
The future system provides safer, more
direct and more enjoyable connections
to park and recreation facilities.
Building on the City's past work to
create walking and rolling connections,
the future park system includes
numerous new links to make getting
there more fun.
EXPANDED CAPACITY
The future system requires more
flexibility to support the changing needs
of users. There are several harks that do
not meet adopted standards but with
potential to become more aop li _In
addition, each acre of park land will
have to support more people.
Investments in existing sites and
facilities will expand the capacity of the
system. Of particular importance is
creating the spaces for residents;
to gather and build
a broader community connection. Parks
are also valued by visitors and workers.
SUSTAINABLE STEWARDSHIP
Looking to the long -term, sustainability
in Tukwila's parks, recreation and open
space system will include caring for the
environmental, social and financial well-
being of the community. The goals of
the PROS Plan will help focus resources
on the most important sites and
programs to maximize the benefits and
inspire another generation of users.
DIVERSIFY PROGRAMS AND PARTNERS
New approaches to recreation
programming will expand the reach of
the City and partner organizations. By
creating space for experimentation, the
City can explore and find ways to better
serve ethnic and linguistic communities
as well as the more varied needs of
workers in the city. This effort, like all
of the above, will not succeed without
Tukwila Parks, Recreation and Open Space Draft Plan
38
•
the help of community, City and priv
partners. The City will need to
proactively establish and build new
relationships to extend the resource
invested.
Prioritizing and Funding
With the resource constraints (land,
staff, acquisition and operational
funding) facing Tukwila, prioritizing
funding projects will require both
direction and flexibility. The system of
prioritization accommodates the reality
that many projects can not move
forward until at least one important
condition is met (land availability,
neighboring redevelopment, grant
success, etc.) and other projects are
already committed and moving forward.
The remaining projects are the ones that
will require more conversation and
prioritization by the City. For all projects
in existing and future parks,
maintenance and operations needs must
be a key factor when basing decisions.
Guided by this Plan,
will enable the City can te-be more
flexible with capital dollars to match
grants and supplement other community
resources.

PHASE 1: WHERE ARE WE NOW?
Beginning in spring 2013, the purpose
of Phase 1 was to establish a baseline
of information to support the PROS
Plan, including a review of the existing
conditions in the community and an
assessment of the existing park system
and recreation services. Chapter 1
summarizes findings from this first
phase, which are also detailed in the
Existing Recreation Resources Summary
available under separate cover.
PHASE 2: WHERE DO WE WANT TO BE?
In Phase 2, the PROS planning team
designed and hosted an array of public
involvement opportunities with City
staff, community partners and the
public to identify community
preferences and desires. This phase
included the community questionnaire
and moving and listening sessions
which allowed the City to hear from a
wide cross section of Tukwila.
Key needs identified from this phase are
discussed in Chapter 2. The
combination of these efforts resulted in
identifying the parks, recreation and
open space concept presented in
Chapter 5.
Summer /Fall Fall/Winter

PHASE 3: HOW DO WE GET THERE?
Building on the outcomes of Phases 1
and 2, the PROS planning team began
developing recommendations and plan
elements in support of the envisioned
future of the system. Outcomes of this
phase included a list of capital projects,
project prioritization criteria and a
funding strategy to identify how the
PROS Plan and its recommendations
will be funded. Chapters 3, 4 and 5
present the direction setting elements
developed through this phase.
PHASE 4: WHERE /HOW DO WE START
IMPROVEMENTS?
Phase 4 consisted of final review and
refinement of the Draft Plan, presented
before the public and City Council,
resulting in the Final Plan.
Public Involvement
The City of Tukwila has committed itself
as an organization to find more effective
ways to reach its highly diverse
community of residents as well as its
many visitors -and employees. Building
on the lessons and connections gained
from the Strategic Plan Process, the
PROS Plan built in opportunities for
1 -2 Tukwila Parks, Recreation and Open Space Draft Plan
40
CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION
BROAD OUTREACH
Balancing and validating the targeted
input, the planning process also
included several activities that were
available to any resident, visitor or
employee in Tukwila.
• Community Questionnaire: Allowing
any respondents to candidly weigh -in on
the park system at their convenience
and their own pace, the questionnaire
generated 418 responses. This option
was uniquely suited to capturing input
from residents as well as employees
and - results indicated no major
differences between the two groups.
• Community Workshop: The City held
a traditional workshop meeting to offer
the opportunity for face -to -face
interaction with the planning team. The
workshop was open to the entire
community and participants could stay
for as much time as they wanted, to
discuss issues, opportunities and
challenges related to parks, recreation
programming, facilities and open space.
14
• Extended Outreach: Extending the
outreach activities to gather feedback
and build interest for the PROS Plan
out in the community, a series of
questions were posed on display boards.
Participants at Teen Late Night,
Backyard Wildlife and the senior lunch
program were invited to indicate their
answers using dots as votes. The
questions were later displayed in the
lobby of the Tukwila Community Center
for additional participation.
KEY THEMES
Throughout all of the public
involvement activities, several common
themes related to the park, recreation
and open system surfaced. The
recurrence of these themes through
multiple channels of input provides a
high level of confidence that these
issues are the most important for
Tukwila's PROS system today.
• Accessible and connected parks and
recreational opportunities: Across all
involvement activities, participants
indicated that they desire parks and
recreation activities and programming
that are close -to -home and easy to
access. Many felt that existing
opportunities are disconnected by busy
streets and physical distance and that
there are few direct or affordable
options to get to parks. Improved access
to the river was also important to
participants.
• Walking and biking, health and
wellness: Walking, biking and activities
that promote general health and
wellness are the most popular and
desired in Tukwila. Participants felt
strongly that more opportunities for
Tukwila Parks, Recreation and Open Space Draft Plan
41
these activities are essential to overall
quality of life.
• Socializing, gathering and a sense of
community: According to community
feedback, opportunities that allow for
socializing and gathering are important,_
both for residents as well as employees.
Many felt that these activities and
public spaces that support them are
central to a sense of community and
overall feeling of well- being. Feedback
also indicated that Tukwila's diverse
cultural groups desire both formal and
informal settings to meet, celebrate and
socialize.
• Opportunities for all: Many
participants, and especially members of
the city's diverse language groups, felt
that the City needs to play a stronger
role providing services that are offered
in different languages and that cater to
different cultural needs. Some felt that
the language barrier prevents them from
using parks and programs, or from
knowing what's available.
• Affordable and convenient
opportunities: Participants felt strongly
that recreation services and programs
should be affordable. Many also felt
that programs and classes should be
more flexible and available at different
times and formats.
Community Context
Each year, the city's population base
changes as refugees and immigrants
from all over the world enter the United
States and begin their new lives in
Tukwila. There are over 70 languages
CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION
spoken in the community and the city
has one of the highest percentages of
non - English speakers in King County
and the State of Washington. This
makes for a dynamic population in
Tukwila, and means that the way people
use parks and recreation services may
shift more frequently than in other
places.

2030, based on a 1.1% average annual
growth rate. This growth rate accounts
for annexations, as well as growth within
the current city limits. Major
annexations include Oxbow and Tukwila

of the city, and could accommodate
approximately 1,505 additional
residents.
PARK LAND
There are 32 park properties in the
City's inventory totaling 273 acres
(Table 1 -1). The Existing System Map
shows the location of all parks and
recreation resources in the system,
comprising developed and undeveloped
park lands. Trails, schools and
recreation sites owned by other
providers are also part of this system
and add to the number of resources
provided by the City. Appendix A
provides a detailed list of park and
recreation areas.
Tukwila's developed parks function as
one of two park types: local parks or
special use parks. There are also nearly
29 acres of open space lands.
Table 1 -1: Tukwila's Exist'ng Park Land
• Local Parks: Local parks provide for
a range of opportunities, such as soccer
or playground play, and are generally
intended to serve the surrounding
neighborhood.
• Special Use Parks: As their name
implies, special use parks focus on a
unique or singular attraction such as a
water feature, garden or community
center. These park types vary in size
according to the amenity that they
showcase.
• Open Space: Open spaces are
tt4eve4eped -parks that efe- protected -er
natural system
benefits such as wildlife habitat and
water quality. Open space sites can also
provide for public use such as trail
activities, education and interpretation
and water access. These sites include
riverfront lands, wooded areas and /or
steeply sloped hillsides.
.s.
PROGRAMS AND SERVICES
The Tukwila Community Center serves a
vital role by providing the majority of
public recreation programming and
support services in the city. Along with
City- sponsored programs, neighboring
communities, public schools, private
providers and non - profits expand the
number of park and recreation related
benefits available to Tukwila residents.
Appendix B provides a complete list of
programs.
RECREATION PARTNERS
Tukwila partners with area schools to
increase access to sport fields and
playgrounds in areas that lack parks.
The Highline and Tukwila school
districts lease former school sites to
Tukwila for park uses, including
Crestview Park, Duwamish Park,
Riverton Park and Joseph Foster
Memorial /Lee Philips Park. The City also
partners with King County to expand

CHAPTER 2. PARK AND RECREATION NEEDS
access to local parks and public school
sites. Based on the analysis, there are
four locations in the city that are greater
than a 1/4- to 1/2-mile service area
distance to local parks and schools
(Figure 2 -1).
Figure 2 -1: Access to Parks Gap Areas
• P2: This location is cut off from the
rest of Tukwila by rail lines and the
hillside. The gap is close to Seattle's
Kubota Garden Park — however, there
are no public school sites nearby.
• P5: There are no local parks near to
this location, but Foster High School
and Showalter Middle School are in
close proximity and provide sports
fields, courts and playgrounds. Tukwila
Pool is also near this location but does
not offer the types of amenities
available at local parks.
• P7: Crystal Springs Park is a local
park near to this location, but there is
no public access to its western parcel
from the west side. There are also no
public schools in close proximity.
• P8: This location has a higher than
average density of housing but lacks
convenient access to any local parks or
schools. Tukwila Park is the closest
local park, but it is not within a 1/4- to
1/2-mile distance. The multi - purpose
fields and playground at Tukwila
Elementary School are nearby, but they
lack direct access from this location.
Recreational Activity Needs
and Park Capacity
Tukwila's parks provide different
experiences and offer different activities
throughout the system. Based on key
themes identified during the public
involvement activities, there are five
types of activities that are most needed.
Though not all areas of the city offer
these activities, certain parks have
existing capacity and can be improved
to meet these needs.
2 -2 Tukwila Parks, Recreation and Open Space Draft Plan
44
RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES
Walking and Biking
Walking and biking activities require
safe, convenient and accessible trails
for recreation and transportation.
Tukwila's Green River Trail is the
primary trail system in the city and
provides a north /south connection along
the Green /Duwamish River. The
Interurban Trail is another important
amenity that provides access to
neighboring cities. There are also
several railways and rail branches that
have potential for future use as trails.
Walking and biking are the most popular
and desired activities in Tukwila.
Outcomes from public involvement
activities indicated that more
opportunities for these activities are
essential to overall quality of life.
However, busy streets, the river and
steep slopes create safety barriers to
reach parks, and there are few east/west
connections across the city.
Social Gathering
Social gathering occurs in small and
large spaces. These activities vary from
smaller gatherings under 20, to more
formal gatherings and events of 50 or
greater. Large, formal social gathering
activities can require a number of park
and facility amenities such as
restrooms, picnic tables, drinking water
access and parking. For larger
gatherings up to 50 people, the City
requires reservations ahead of time.
Group activities outside with 50 or more
People require reservations at the
community centerThc City requires
CHAPTER 2, PARK AND RECREATION NEEDS
Community Center.
According to community feedback,
opportunities and places that allow for
socializing and gathering are important.
Many felt that these activities are
central to a sense of community and
overall feeling of wellbeing. Feedback
also indicated that Tukwila's diverse
cultural groups desire both formal and
informal settings to meet, celebrate and
socialize.
Organized Sports
Organized sports occur on fields and
courts that allow for pick -up games,
practices and /or team sports. These
include baseball fields, soccer fields
and multi - purpose fields, and full -court
basketball and tennis courts. In
Tukwila, the Community Center, Fort
Dent Park and school fields and courts
provide for most organized sports
activities.
According to public feedback, places
and programs that offer youth sports are
some of the most needed types of
offerings. Most parks do not offer the
variety of organized sports facilities,
such as sport fields and ball courts,
required to meet the needs of nearby
residents. Residents expressed a desire
for open and available soccer fields,
with a decrease in interest for fee -based
leagues. According to the Equity for All
report, soccer is an important part of
East African culture, but many youth
expressed that they rarely have the
opportunity to play.

Recreation Programming
Public programs and community
services are important to many
residents. These resources contribute to
quality of life and community and
personal health. This section describes
the City's program participation, goals
for program costs and cost recovery, and
program service gaps.
PROGRAM PARTICIPATION
Recreation program participation data
provides a snapshot of the level of
contact that organized recreation
activities create (Table 2 -2). Appendix

CHAPTER 2. PARK AND RECREATION NEEDS
The data is collected and presented in
terms of the number of units of
participation, therefore showing how
many times each of these program areas
touches the community.'
The largest participation number is
reported for the rental of the Tukwila
Community Center. This reflects the
significant number of small and large
events that take place in and around
this well used facility. Other high
numbers reflect the focus on "public
good" programs, such as youth and
senior programming as directed by
policy (described below).
Participation in specific recreation
programs is a complex function of
various factors including desire /demand,
schedule and affordability. The
magnitude of many of these numbers
reflects the regular attendance of a
group of participants over a series of
regularly occurring programs.
COST RECOVERY GOALS
The Parks and Recreation Department is
working toward a program cost recovery
model based on a three tiered hierarchy.
Each program service level has a
different cost recovery range, from
private programs that are mostly to fully
2 Source: City of Tukwila. Participation measured
in units = number of people in an activity x
number of days the activity meets. The data does
not indicate how many unique individuals
participate in each category, which would be
difficult or impossible to collect for some
program types. The data does not include
particioation at the Tukwila Pool.

summer camps and organizing
educational excursions throughout the
greater Seattle area.
Awareness
Distributing information about
programming options is one of the
factors that is especially challenging to
Tukwila due to the large number of
linguistic groups residing in the city.
While finding the methods that best
connect to residents is always a
challenge, being able to provide the
information in multiple languages and
identify the most culturally effective
methods adds significantly to raising
awareness.
Schedule
Schedule is a key factor in matching
programs to participants. Aligning
programs to fit around work, school and
family schedules was an important
finding from the online questionnaire.
Evening, weekend and early morning
class times were most desirable.
Currently, the majority of programming
is held during weekday evenings,
between the hours of 6 and 8 pm. Most
morning programs are oriented for
youth, such as swim lessons, summer
camps and before school programs.
There are fewer programs that occur
during the lunch hour, and few early
morning classes oriented for adults.
Affordability
The City has a direct hand in
determining the affordability of
programming to the user through the
application of the cost recovery policy.
The gap in affordability is largely about
CHAPTER 2. PARK AND RECREATION NEEDS
reconciling the variety of populations to
serve, the programs to offer and the
level of community investment.
Affordability is also about the
willingness and ability of the City to
make more affordable programs
available and to reconsider the way its
current cost recovery policy is applied.
Community input, particularly from the
cultural and linguistic minorities in
Tukwila, has indicated that even small
user fees can be a major barrier to
participation. The community
questionnaire explored the balance of
City investment and user fees for a
selection of program types. Overall,
respondents indicated that costs should
be shared in some way (few indicated
that any program should be 100%
supported by the City). Two categories
of programs were notably high in
responses indicating that the user
should pay 100% of costs: adult sports
(35% of respondents) and fitness
classes (21% of respondents).
Alternatives
Starfire Sports, SeaTac Community
Center, Tukwila Pool, and the Matt
Griffin YMCA provide the widest array of
alternative recreation programs in and
around Tukwila (Appendix B). These
providers provide the most overlap with
City of Tukwila offerings.
• Starfire Sports: Starfire is largely
focused on soccer (and other field
sports) and offers a premium experience
that is utilized by users from across the
region. This facility requires an annual
membership that ranges from $35
(basic) to $50 (premier membership)

CHAPTER 2. PARK AND RECREATION NEEDS
for access to the facility and its
programs, and field use fees ranging
from $33 per hour per participant for
youth, to $77 per hour per participant
for adults. Between the cost, the
demand for field space and the location
on the east side of the Green /Duwamish
River, Starfire can be seen as a
complement to the City programs and
services with minimal overlap.
• SeaTac Community Center: The
SeaTac Community Center is located
just outside of Tukwila to the northeast
in the City of SeaTac. The 27,000
square foot facility features an indoor
gym, weight room and reservable
banquet room. The building also
features an arts and crafts room and
multi- purpose room that accommodate
different types of recreational
programming. Drop -in class fees are $6
and most activity fees are $2.50 - $3.50.
There is also a monthly weight room
pass available for $28 (adults) and $21
(seniors).
• Tukwila Pool: The Tukwila Pool is
centrally located in Tukwila and
operated by the Tukwila Metropolitan
Park District, approved by voters in
2011. The indoor pool is open year -
round and offers a range of aquatics
Programs and classes, including open
swim and party rentals. For winter
2014, pool rates range from $3 -$4 for
youth /senior and adult drop -in fees
(respectively). a 10 -punch pass with
discounted rates for residents, and
monthly and annual passes.
Scholarships are also available. During
2012/2013, the District commissioned
major renovations to the pool, pppl
utilities and building exterior.
• YMCA: While not located in Tukwila,
the Matt Griffith YMCA center (near the
border between Tukwila and SeaTac)
offers a wide range of recreation
opportunities that are similar to the
City's offerings. The YMCA requires a
one -time joining fee ranging from $25
(youth) to $100 (adults) and monthly
membership fees from $32 (youth) to
$65 (adult). Membership allows for
unlimited use of all 13 YMCA facilities
in the greater Seattle area, including
most health and wellness programs.
Specialty classes and programs
requiring additional fees are offered at a
lower rate to members. The YMCA also
offers financial assistance with the
intention of serving as much of the
community as possible, Considering the
range of programs available, the
proximity to Tukwila and its competitive
costs, the YMCA can be seen as a
competitor to City programs.

Growth and Economic
Development
Future growth in Southcenter —the
city's urban core —and revitalization
along busy street corridors such as
Tukwila International Boulevard will
require improved access to parks and
recreation services. In addition,
Tukwila's large employee population
constitutes a potential market and may
have unmet recreation needs not
addressed in previous recreation
planning efforts.
Tukwila's Strategic Plan calls for
investing in the unique future of
specific sub -areas of the city. These
include Tukwila International Boulevard
Set�ih, Southcenter and Tukwila South.
Tukwila &etrth- encompasses about 500
acres of land along the Grccn /Duwamish
River at the south end of the city.
According to the Southcenter Subarea
Plan, the area could accommodate
approximately 2,710 new households
and 5,359 new employees by 2031.
The Plan presents goals for the
regionally recognized urban center,
calling for the redevelopment of
underused properties and oversized
parking lots into revitalized public
spaces. It also provides a specific
objective to add high quality open
spaces and recreation areas to stimulate
new development, including substantial
housing development.
The Southcenter Subarea Plan calls for
Green /Duwamish River restoration and
Tukwila Pond "unearthing" to

amenities. Along with recommendations
in the Shoreline Master Plan, the
Southcenter Subarea Plan envisions an
urban waterfront with an amenity
anchor along the northern edge of the
pond containing retail, housing and
hotels.
Further south. Tukwila South
encompasses about 500 acres of land
along the Green /Duwamish River at the
south end of the city. Through a
development agreement. the recently
annexed area of the city will serve as a
major emplovment center with the
potential for thousands of new jobs.

3.4 Tukwila Parks, Recreation and Open Space Draft Plan
54
Each recommendation in this chapter is
intended to achieve multiple objectives.
Many will help achieve more than one of
the PROS Plan goals.
Recommendations cover a range of
topics, organized into nine general
categories.
Recommendation Categories
Walking and Biking
Social Gathering
Organized Sports
Unstructured Play
River Access
Physical Planning and Management
Forests and Waterways
Programs and Services
Communications and Partnerships
Walking and Biking
PROVIDE SAFE AND CONVENIENT
PLACES FOR WALKING AND BIKING BY
FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS OF
ADOPTED PLANS.
Along with the needs identified in this
Plan, the Walk and Roll Plan and
Comprehensive Plan outline
recommended walking and biking
improvements throughout the city.
Project priorities should be part of the
City's annual capital planning process
as a collaborative effort between the
Parks & Recreation Department and
Department of Public Works.
CHAPTER 4, RECOMMENDATIONS
INCREASE ACCESS TO WALKING AND
BIKING BY ADDING TRAILS IN PARKS
WITH EXISTING CAPACITY.
Safe places to walk and bike should be
added where possible throughout
Tukwila. To meet this objective, there
are several parks with potential for new
trails. Nearly all are City -owned and
most of these parks have good
improvement potential. The City should
consider adding internal or looped
pathways in these sites to provide
places to walk and bike. Some locations
should be studied to determine whether
connections can be added to link to
other trails such as the Green River
Trail.

access (Figure 4 -1). The locations are
general areas within Tukwila that are
greater than i /a- to 1 -mile from the
Green River Trail. These areas also
highlight connections (envisioned in the
City's Walk and Roll Plan and supported
by input to this Plan) that could greatly
improve access for walking and biking
connectivity.
• WB1: Connect the Tukwila
Community Center from the south and
west through a modification to the
Allentown Bridge, or new
pedestrian /bicycle bridge.
• WB2: Cross Tukwila International
Boulevard to access Southgate Park.
• W83: Connect north /south, and
cross 144th Street to improve access to
Cascade View Community Park.
• WB4: Connect opposite sides of
Highway 518.
• W85: Cross 1 -5 and connect
east/west.
• WB6: Cross I -5 near the
Southcenter Mall.
• W87: Connect the Southcenter Mall
and Southcenter Transit Center with the
Green River ate- Interurban, and Lake
to Sound trails. This linkage will
connect with , and the Sounder
Commuter Rail Station and the City of
Renton viawtth a pedestrian walkway
and bridge over the Green River.
• W88: Cross Boeing Access Road.
• WB9: Cross Highway 518 along 51''
Avenue.
• WB10: Cross the Green /Duwamish
River near South 178`" Street to Brisco
Park, and continue with planned
pathways within Tukwila South.
4 -2 Tukwila Parks, Recreation and Open Space Draft Plan
56
CHAPTER 4. RECOMMENDATIONS
INCREASE ACCESS TO UNSTRUCTURED
PLAY IN IDENTIFIED FOCUS AREAS.
There is unmet demand for
unstructured play throughout the city.
The City should increase places for safe
unstructured play in areas that lack
convenient access through new features
and partnerships (Figure 4 -4).
Figure 4 -4: Unstructured Play Focus
Areas
• U1: Add a nature play area with
development of Ryan Hill Park.
• U2: Partner with McMicken Heights
Elementary School for use of school
facilities during non school hours.
• U3: Improve access to Crystal
Springs Park and add a nature play
feature to this park.
• U4: Improve access to Tukwila
Elementary School to allow for use of
school facilities during non - school
hours.
Physical Planning and
Management
REPLACE THE EXISTING NUMERICAL
PARK LAND LEVEL OF SERVICE
STANDARD WITH AN OVERALL PARK
LAND SERVICE AREA DISTANCE.
Tukwila's approach to park and
recreation services should be based on
providing different park types that serve
specific functions, following the
classifications outlined in this Plan. The
service area distance is based on
- providing convenient access and
maximizing benefits to the public by
preventing duplication of services. Use
of this measurement also considers non-
residents, such as workers and visitors.
RANK PARK AND RECREATION
PROJECTS THROUGH THE USE OF
PRIORITIZATION CRITERIA.
The criteria should be used as a starting
point to identify how projects should be
ranked, while factoring changing
conditions and opportunities.
4 -6 Tukwila Parks, Recreation and Open Space Draft Plan
57
DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT UPDATED
PARK DESIGN GUIDELINES AND
POLICIES.
Design guidelines for park and
recreation development should be used
as a basis for all future park master
plans and park improvements. These
should reference the guidelines
provided in the Southcenter Subarea
Plan, and outline best practices in
system development, including
parameters for park character and size,
access and compatible amenities and
features. The guidelines should promote
compatibility between uses and
structures adjacent to parks.
REDUCE THE MAINTENANCE NEEDS OF
LOW- FUNCTIONING SMALL PARKS.
Several of the city's smaller parks
should be undergo maintenance
efficiency improvements to better align
with the way these sites are used by the
public. This could include replacing
selected areas of turf with groundcover
or permeable pavers, increasing or
adding to tree groves or replacing park
benches with seat walls.
ADD A DISC GOLF COURSE TO THE
SYSTEM.
Parks with capacity for a disc golf
course offer open areas or fairways
ranging between 20 -40 feet wide, and
can accommodate nine tee pads and
baskets, signage and user amenities
such as benches. Southgate Park has
potential for adding a disc golf course.
However, the park currently has no
public access, parking or access to
transit.
CHAPTER 4, RECOMMENDATIONS
IDENTIFY THE PREFERRED LOCATION
FOR AN ADDITIONAL COMMUNITY
GARDEN.
The public has identified Duwamish
Park as having potential for a
community garden. Gardens require at
least six hours of unobstructed sunlight,
access to a reliable water source and
fencing. Duwamish Park is not City -
owned but has good public access,
parking and portable restrooms. The
City can also consider adding small -
scale community gardens in underused
spaces such as parking strips, trail
corridors and site edges.
IDENTIFY THE PREFERRED LOCATION
FOR AN OFF -LEASH DOG PARK.
The public has also expressed a need
for a dog park, or off -leash dog area, at
Crestview, Duwamish and /or Joseph
Foster Memorial /Lee Philips Park. Basic
requirements for dog parks should
include secure fencing, access to water,
shade and parking. All of these parks
have parking but are not owned by the
City.
CREATE A PERMANENT SKATE PARK.
The Tukwila Skatepark should be a
permanent feature of the park system.
The facility should be located within the
Tukwila Community Center property or
Foster High School in a location with
good visibility and access.
DEVELOP AN ACCESSIBLE PLAY AREA
Identify a site suitable for designing an
accessible play area that meets ADA
guidelines while providing a fun and
engaging place to play. The City should

CHAPTER 4. RECOMMENDATIONS
form a partnership team with public and
private groups to design the site and
seek donations of materials and /or
services to make the project cost
effective for the City.
Forests and Waterways
INCREASE ACCESS TO FORESTS AND
THE RIVER.
There are -€i six parks that have
capacity to increase access to forests
and the river, or that can incorporate
Iopen space or views of these resources.
Some sites, such as Duwamish Park are
near the river but could have access to
the river through safer street crossings
or trail connections. Planned
improvements for Duwamish Hill
Preserve will provide access to the river.
Duwamish Park is not City owned,
making future improvements more
challenging.
The city's proximity to the
Green /Duwamish River make non -
motorized boat launches a desirable
amenity to supply activities such as
canoeing and kayaking. Duwamish Hill
Preserve and Duwamish Park both offer
potential for boat launching if access is
available.
Bicentennial Park
Christiensen Road Property
Duwamish Gardens
Duwamish Hill Preserve (Phase Ill
Improvements)
Duwamish Park

IMPROVE CONNECTIVITY TO THE
RIVER.
Tukwila is defined by the
Green /Duwamish River and many of the
city's existing parks are located on or
adjacent to this waterway. The
Southcenter Subarea Plan calls for
improved connectivity to the river, as
well as a bridge to connect with the
Sounder Station and future park near
this location on the east bank of the
river.
However, there are two locations where
connectivity should be improved to
allow for increased use and enjoyment
of the river (Figure 4 -5).
• R1: Work with willing property
owners to identify opportunities to
connect to the river in this location.
• R2: Implement planned trail within
this area to increase connectivity to the
river.
4 -8 Tukwila Parks, Recreation and Open Space Draft Plan
59
CHAPTER 4. RECOMMENDATIONS
ENHANCE THE URBAN TREE CANOPY.
The City should conduct a citywide tree
inventory and identify ways to improve
and increase the urban tree canopy by
working with volunteer groups and other
public and non - profit agencies. This
effort should also seek ways of
improving the health of the existing
urban forest.
PROVIDE MORE ENVIRONMENTAL
EDUCATION AND INTERPRETATION.
The Parks & Recreation Department
should continue to integrate the city's
natural resources with public awareness
through a variety of volunteer programs,
nature walks and interpretive services as
well as use of social media and public
outreach, to foster long -term support
and stewardship.
Programs and Services
INCREASE PROGRAMMING LOCATION
OPTIONS, TARGETING ACCESS FROM
THE DENSEST RESIDENTIAL AREAS,
WHERE PRACTICABLE.
The City should expand recreation
programming and services in these
locations using a combination of mobile
programming and classes and activities
held at City -owned and school -owned
locations. Environmental education,
community gardening and skill - building
Programs can all occur within parks. In
particular, the City should focus
attention on the following seven focus
areas that currently lack convenient
access to programming (Figure 4 -6).
• PG1: Continue to offer programming
at the Tukwila Community Center.
• PG2: Consider adding programming
at Cascade View Elementary School.

• PG7: Demand for programming and
public services in Southcenter will
continue to increase in the future as
new residential growth occurs. Consider
traditional place -based offerings, such
as programming at a park or building, as
well as alternative options such as
mobile programming, to meet the needs
of this area.
• PG8: Partner with Tukwila Village to
provide a facility for social gathering.
REFINE THE CURRENT COST - RECOVERY
FRAMEWORK TO INCREASE
AFFORDABILITY OF DIFFERENT
PROGRAMS.
The Parks and Recreation Department
should increase the base of options
provided for free or at low cost to the
public.
CHAPTER 4. RECOMMENDATIONS
Experiment with different types of
programs based on enhanced outreach
to the city's diverse populations, and
allocate resources to test new and
alternative programming. The City
should allocate resources to expand the
availability of programming available to
different cultures and language groups.
The City should annually evaluate the
performance and need of these services,
against the value provided for
participants.
PURSUE ALTERNATIVE SERVICE DELIVERY
MODELS TO ENHANCE
PROGRAMMING OPTIONS AND
CONVENIENCE.
Tukwila should seek non - traditional
programming options such as mobile
programming at employment centers,
and partnerships with schools and
private providers to increase access to
programming.
Communications and
Partnerships
UPDATE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
TO REFLECT POLICY DECISIONS OF
THE UPDATED PARKS, RECREATION
AND OPEN SPACE PLAN.
The goals, policies and
recommendations of the Parks,
Recreation and Open Space Plan should
be added to the Comprehensive Plan as
a plan element. The goals, policies and
recommendations of this Plan should be
the basis for the updated parks,
recreation and open space element of
the Comprehensive Plan.
Tukwila Parks, Recreation and Open Space Draft Plan 4 -1 1
61
CHAPTER 4. RECOMMENDATIONS
DEVELOP PROCEDURES TO HELP
FOSTER VOLUNTEER/PUBLIC - INITIATED
PROJECT IDEAS.
The City should consider developing a
project proposal application for the
public, as well as a City scoring process,
that allows for volunteer- initiated
proposals that could add value to the
parks and recreation system.
STRENGTHEN VOLUNTEER
OPPORTUNITIES AND PARTNERSHIPS
TO ENHANCE PARKS, EVENTS AND
PROGRAMS.
The City should consider developing a
volunteer project database to serve as a
clearinghouse for citywide volunteer
opportunities. At the same time, the
City should provide an accessible way
that allows the public to propose
volunteer -led park and recreation
projects and programs. The City should
work with volunteer organizations, such
as Forterra, to identify opportunities to
strengthen the park system.
CONDUCT A MULTI- FACETED PUBLIC
INFORMATION PROGRAM TO
CONNECT AND ENGAGE WITH THE
CITY'S DIVERSE POPULATION.
The City should periodically engage in
an outreach process to foster two -way
communication between the City and
residents. Outreach should promote
conversations with a cross section of the
community, in different languages,
settings and formats that will be
appealing to residents.
GROW PARTNERSHIPS BY TARGETING
SPECIFIC GROUPS THAT CAN IMPROVE
PROGRAMMING IN IDENTIFIED GAP
AREAS.
Potential partners should include
Highline and Tukwila school districts,
Tukwila Metropolitan Park District, King
County and the SeaTac Community
Center, as well as other cities and
organizations that can extend their
offerings to Tukwila residents such as
pubic service organizations, faith -based
groups, Starfire Sports and private
health and recreation facilities.
CONTINUE TO PROVIDE AQUATICS
OPPORTUNITIES BY PARTNERING WITH
THE TUKWILA METROPOLITAN PARK
DISTRICT.
The Tukwila Pool is a valued community
resource and the City and District
should continue their collaboration to
offer affordable aquatics options in the
city.
CONSIDER JOINT PLANNING WITH
SCHOOL DISTRICTS FOR
PROGRAMMING AND SITE DESIGN OF
DISTRICT OWNED SITES.
The City should seek increased
collaboration with school districts to
maximize access to recreation
opportunities in Tukwila.
STRENGTHEN COMMUNICATION AND
COLLABORATION AMONG CITY
DEPARTMENTS TO SUPPORT PARKS
AND RECREATION.
The Parks and Recreation Department
and members of the Staff Advisory
Group should market the purpose and
function of this Plan to other City
departments to increase awareness of

CHAPTER 4. RECOMMENDATIONS
the Plan and build support for park and
recreation projects among competing
priorities.
ALIGN INVESTMENTS TOWARDS
STR4 J€TURE WITH CONTRIBUTING
PARTNERS WITH DIRECTIVES OF PLAN.
The City should closely monitor its role
and contributions toward contributing
partners of the parks and recreation
system. Investments and resources
directed from the City should align with
expected outcomes and benefits, linking
to goals, policies and recommendations
of this Plan.
IDENTIFY POTENTIAL PARTNERS TO
ACQUIRE AND DEVELOP PUBLIC
GATHERING AREAS IN THE TUKWILA
URBAN CENTER.
Develop strategies for public - private
partnerships in the Tukwila Urban
Center that will result in public open
spaces to serve as focal points and
settings for special events and
activities.

Capital Projects
Those improvements that require
construction or renovation are capital
projects, and will be eligible for
different funding options than ongoing
operations such as maintenance and
programming. Capital projects, grouped
by project category, are summarized
below and explained in site -by -site
detail on Table 5 -1 on page 5 -7.
RIVERFRONT PROJECTS
There are many different opportunities
for recreation along, in and around the
Green /Duwamish River Corridor. To
make the most of this citywide resource
a coordinated, guided effort is needed.
The first step in aligning riverfront
projects is a Recreation Corridor Plan.
This project should bring together the
many small projects that have been
considered, begun or completed along
banks of the Green /Duwamish River.
The Recreation Corridor Plan should
build on existing recreational,
engineering, environmental and
transportation planning efforts for the
full extent of the river corridor in
Tukwila and identify opportunities,
specific projects and design treatments
that will make the most of each
(generally small) site and the
connecting trails. The street ends of
several local streets fronting the river
serve as an existing asset to the system
that hold potential for increasing river
access. Improvements should include
repair and restoration of shoreline
habitat.

Table 5 -1: Prioritized Capital Projects,
lists the capital projects broken down by
the prioritization categories described in
the next section.
Capital Protect Prioritization
As a relatively small and constrained
city, Tukwila must carefully prioritize on
which projects to spend staff time and
capital and operations resources. Some
projects are already in motion, with the
City making progress on design or
construction, while others are awaiting
critical actions or conditions to be right
to move forward. A structure to identify
the set of projects that are ready for a
go -ahead decision is described below,
recognizing that these projects generally
fall into an active, pending or
conditional status.
ACTIVE PROJECTS
Active projects are those that have
received all necessary City approvals or
CHAPTER 5. IMPLEMENTATION
those with an open development
application that have begun or are in
the process of construction. These
projects require community investment
in staff time, consulting fees or capital
resources.
PENDING PROJECTS
Pending projects are those that have the
support of the City and /or community,
but are awaiting a commitment of
capital dollars and staff time to move to
the next step. The pending projects are
often identified projects that have not
started yet or projects that have
completed some level of design and are
awaiting resources for construction or
implementation.
CONDITIONAL PROJECTS
Conditional projects are important to
the long -term vision of the park and
recreation system but require a major
trigger event that is outside of the City's
control before they can move forward.
These projects may include those that
require additional partnerships,
agreements or arrangements, or outside
funding sources to move forward toward
the pending category. Projects in this
category may also be dependent on the
priorities of another City department.
For example, a proposed trail
connection along a street may be
dependent on the capital planning by
the Public Works Department.
A special subset of the conditional
projects category includes the sites that
primarily require ongoing care and
stewardship. These sites are conditional
in that they are awaiting a change
Tukwila Parks, Recreation and Open Space Draft Plan
66

CHAPTER 5. IMPLEMENTATION
prompted by the end of life of a major
element (requiring replacement and
reconsideration) or a proposal for a
change or improvement to the site.
Utilizing this structure to sort the list of
projects provides a functional working
list of the important projects listed in
this Plan. Table 5 -1 presents the
projects by their status, with indications
for the categories the projects fall into
and which goals they support.
Capital Project Costs
In Table 5 -1: Prioritized Capital
Projects, the right column reports a
planning level cost for the projects at
each site.' These costs are drawn from
the City's capital improvement program
estimates, where applicable, as well as
allowances based on the experience of
the planning team in similar northwest
communities. The planning level costs
are not anticipated to be the exact final
price of the improvements listed, but
rather a reasonable estimate of the
amount of resources that should be
committed to the project at the
preliminary capital project budgeting
stage. These numbers and this project
list should be considered a precursor to
the City's Capital Improvement Program
list, which will provide details about the
timing and commitment of funding.
' Costs for projects identified in the Walk
and Roll Plan are not available due to the
varying conditions related to project
feasibility. street type, design needs,
property ownership and timing.

UTILIZE NEW PROGRAM LOCATIONS
Building on the partnership with area
schools, Tukwila should continue to
explore opportunities to bring programs
to the school sites where the youth of
the community already attend classes
and participate in activities. Further
exploration should also be made into
utilizing less conventional spaces, such
as community service group offices,
rented space, and even restaurants and
coffee shops to bring existing and
experimental programs out into the
community and reach new audiences.
ESTABLISH GUIDELINES FOR
COMMUNITY INITIATED PROJECTS
Many enhancements to individual sites
have potential to tap into the passion of
the community for construction and
ongoing maintenance assistance. In
order to efficiently harness this
enthusiasm, the City should document
the expectations for community
organized projects and the process and
conditions under which they can be
approved for City property.
INVENTORY UNDEVELOPED LAND
To ensure that the City only acquires
open space property that serves the
purposes laid out in this Plan, an
inventory should be prepared of the
publicly and privately held undeveloped
land. The inventory will help fulfill
Goals 3 (Policy 3.6). 4 (Policy 4.2) and
5 (Policies 5.3 and 5.6), allowing the
City to make informed decisions when
opportunities arise. The purpose of this
inventory is to identify the full extent of
open space in the community and the
potential for development. This
inventory should overlay constraints to
development, such as steep slopes,
wetlands and other factors that would
keep the property open regardless of
ownership. This will allow the City to
properly assess the importance of any
potential open space acquisition or
donation.
Funding and implementation
Strategies
EXPAND FUNDING FLEXIBILIY
The ability to follow opportunities, such
as grants and smaller but high impact
projects, will be key to the continuing
development of the parks system. This
flexibility requires the identification of
resources that will fund improvements
or match grant funding. A key element
of the City's current funding strategy is
the designation of projects for the use
5 -12 Tukwila Parks, Recreation and Open Space Draft Plan
72
of the Parks Impact Fee funds. The
existing impact fees are set based on a
very short and specific list of projects.
The approximate cost of these projects
is split with 80% attributed to new
growth and then distributed by an
established formula to the per unit fees.
Assigning a project to one of the three
Using the prioritization criteria
discussed previously (active, pending or
conditional), the City can shift the
specific projects in the impact fee list
to categories of improvements (matched
to this Plan) that represent citywide
benefit and expanded capacity in the
Gystcm would allow the use of these
This approach would be fees to be
more responsive to the opportunity
based approach direction of this Plan.
The total cost of the impact fee list (and
therefore the resulting fees) could be
maintained at current levels while still
ensuring that the City funds at least a
20% share of the total cost of projects
as established in the current ordinance.
ENHANCE COMMUNITY RELATIONSHIP
BUILDING CAPACITY
The importance of community partners,
from individual volunteers to school
administrations, is a major emphasis in
this planning effort. Developing and
coordinating this effort is going to
require additional staff time and
expertise. Beginning with the addition
of a stewardship coordinator to manage
the volunteer efforts around the forest
and river resources in Tukwila, the City
can build knowledge of partner
organizations, explore ways to connect
with new groups of potential volunteers
CHAPTER 5. IMPLEMENTATION
and manage on- the - ground projects that
benefit the system. The next step would
be to add or develop this position into a
broader focused community relationship
manager.
MAXIMIZING OTHER CAPITAL PROJECTS
At any given time, the City or other
agencies are completing a variety of
capital projects that are located nearby
or even within park sites. For example,
new parks or plazas can be designed
and developed along with future fire
stations. These projects present an
opportunity to piggy -back on the
mobilization, restoration or even the
cost of the project as match funding for
grants. For this strategy to be useful,
interdepartmental and interagency
communication and project planning
must be aligned to make sure that the
opportunity is identified before it
passes. Street, utility and
redevelopment projects adjacent to and
surrounding park sites should be
monitored for the advance signs of
action.

CHAPTER 5. IMPLEMENTATION
Future Projects
The only certainty that the community
can rely on is that the situation will
change over the life span of the PROS
Plan. Whether it be a new idea
emerging from the community or a
conditional project moving forward,
decision making about how to integrate
these projects into the pending and
active project list should be guided by a
set of evaluative criteria. The following
questions provide a starting point for a
discussion about how emerging projects
should be dealt with, presented in no
particular order.
Capital and Resource Availability
Are there adequate resources to
move the project forward and
maintain it in the future?
Adequate resources should be identified
for construction and maintenance needs
that align with the type of facilities
added. These resources could include a
mix of City and other resources such as
developer contributions, sponsorships,
volunteer labor or private ownership.
Projects that have an identified source
of funding or support should have
priority.
Property Availability and Condition
Does the City own or have an
agreement for use of the project site?
The availability or relative difficulty of
acquiring an appropriate park site adds
complexity to the decision and is closely
related to having adequate resources. In
some situations the land will be
available because it is a condition of
approval of a redevelopment. In others
the City may need to purchase the land
on the open market, a process that can
introduce significant cost.
The condition of the site should also be
a factor, and the site should be free of
encumbrances such as environmental
issues, limited public access,
infrastructure needs, etc. Projects
located on sites that are owned or
publicly available to the City and are in
good condition should have priority.
Meeting Identified Needs
Will the project fulfill an identified
park and/or recreation need?
Projects should include facilities that
serve the community's needs as
identified in goals and policies of the
future parks and recreation
Comprehensive Plan elements. Projects
that improve gaps in park and recreation
access should have priority.
Completing Connections
Does the project improve
connectivity to parks and recreation
resources?
Trails and safe streets are some of the
most valued resources in the park and
recreation system. Major trails such as
the Green River Trail and Interurban
Trail form critical community links and
connect multiple park and recreation
sites to one another. Projects that
improve or contribute to connections to
parks and recreation resources should
have priority.
5 -14 Tukwila Parks, Recreation and Open Space Draft Plan
74
Available Partnerships
Does the project have the support of
one or more partners?
Neighborhood support and Gcorporate
and community partnerships will be
critical to the development of Tukwila's
park system. Projects with one (or more)
identified community partners that will
assist in the development or
maintenance (or both) should have
priority.
Enhancing/Maintaining Existing
Resources
Will the project reinvest in an
existing park or recreation area?
Tukwila has built up an investment in
park sites and facilities that should be
protected through scheduled capital
replacement and improvements as
recommended. Projects that address
issues or enhance capacity on existing
sites should have priority.
Supporting Strategic Plan and
Comprehensive Plan Goals
Can the project support multiple
goals found in these plans?
The City has an existing policy
framework based largely on the
Strategic Plan and Comprehensive Plan.
These documents outline the long term
strategies and desires of the community
that each proposal should strive to
achieve. Projects that meet as many
goals as possible, including those that
promote social equity, economic
CHAPTER 5. IMPLEMENTATION
development, and other related benefits
should have priority.
Pending or Conditional
Is there a condition that needs to be
met before the project can move
forward?
New projects will be added to two parts
of the prioritization framework, pending
projects or conditional projects. The key
to this question is whether or not there
is a hurdle that needs to be overcome
before the project could be funded to
move forward. If there is, the project
would be added in the conditional
projects list. Otherwise, the project
would be pending until action begins.

II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Parks, Recreation and Open Space (PROS) Plan
Staff provided an update to Committee members on the current status of the Parks, Recreation, and
Open Space (PROS) Plan. There has been a public comment period since the draft plan was
presented to Council in November 2013, and the responses were compiled by the consultant and
included in the Committee packet along with proposed solutions to address the comments. The
majority of the comments are clarifications and edits that will be included in the final plan.
Additionally, three themes that emerged were described as 1) safety and maintenance, 2)
neighborhood needs, connection, and buy -in, and 3) clarification regarding references to residents,
businesses, and employees. Committee members were comfortable with the proposals, particularly
the efforts to clarify that residents have different priorities and needs than businesses and visitors
Committee members requested that staff present to the Committee of the Whole a redlined version of
the plan accompanied by a more descriptive table that clearly states each revision along with its page
number. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO FEBRUARY 10 COMMITTEE OF THE
WHOLE.
III. MISCELLANEOUS
Committee members and staff discussed the 2014 Committee work plan items known to date. Additional
possible ideas emerged, including the use of hotel sites for temporary housing, exploratory options for a
teen center near TIB, use of vans for mobile park /health opportunities, and a briefing on the impacts of
the rental housing inspection program. Committee members requested the use of a planning calendar
during committee meetings, and the Council Analyst confirmed she is working with staff on such a
document, to include updates discussed at tonight's meeting. INFORMATION ONLY.

SUBJECT: Brisco/Desimone Levee
Project No. 81441202
Interlocal Agreement with the City of Kent
ISSUE
Approve an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) with the City of Kent for repairs to the Brisco/Desimone Levee.
BACKGROUND
The Brisco/Desimone Levee is 2.5 miles long and is located along the east side of the Green River
between S 180th St in Tukwila and S 200m St in Kent. Both the City of Kent and King County Flood
Control District (KCFCD) studied ways to improve the levee and bring it up to 100-year flood
protection standards. On February 26, 2013, the KCFCD approved the proposal from Kent to use
setback levees that are retained by walls on the landward side and assigned Kent responsibility for
design and construction of those improvements. An ILA between Kent and the KCFCD has been
executed.
Kent's studies have identified a total of four reaches (sections) of the Brisco/Desimone Levee that
require repairs in order to provide a 100-year level of flood protection. Reach #1 is entirely within
Tukwila, Reach #2 has a small portion within Tukwila, and Reach #3 and #4 are entirely within the
City of Kent. A map of the individual reaches is located in Appendix C of the attached ILA.
ANALYSIS
In order for the City of Kent to perform work in the City of Tukwila, an Interlocal Agreement must be
executed that authorizes the work, designates SEPA authority, grants condemnation authority, and
allows Kent's contractors to work within the City of Tukwila.
Staff from both cities has worked on the draft ILA that allows the City of Kent to act as our agent. The
agreement will require Kent to meet Tukwila's shoreline regulations as adopted by Tukwila or through
the variance process.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
KCFCD funding and secured grant funds are expected to cover all costs for the four Briscoe/
Desimone Levee reaches scheduled for repair. No Tukwila funding is anticipated at this time.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to approve an Interlocal Agreement with the City of Kent for repair work to
the Brisco/Desimone Levee and consider this item at the February 10. 2014 Committee of the Whole
Meeting and subsequent February 18. 2014 Regular Council meeting.

INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF KENT
AND THE CITY OF TUKWILA FOR CONSTRUCTION AND
ACCREDITATION OF THE DESIMONE LEVEE
THIS INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT is entered into pursuant to the Interlocal
Cooperation Act, Chapter 39.34 of the Revised Code of Washington between the
City of Kent, a Washington Municipal Corporation ( "Kent ") and the City of Tukwila,
a Washington Municipal Corporation ( "Tukwila ").
RECITALS
A. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the agency responsible for
the nation's flood insurance program, has determined that the Green River levees
do not have the documentation to be accredited to provide 100 -year flood level
protection.
B. FEMA is responsible for and is reissuing the Flood Insurance Rate Maps for the
Green River Valley. The preliminary map encompasses the cities of Kent and
Tukwila and shows a large segment of Kent and Tukwila to be within the 100 -year
flood -plain and floodway, even though they are behind existing levees. Properties
within the 100 -year flood plain typically must acquire costly flood insurance, are
subject to increased development standards, and subject to dramatic devaluation.
C. These flood insurance requirements act as a disincentive to development and
redevelopment in the Green River Valley.
D. Kent and Tukwila share a mutual boundary in an area along the Green River
that is protected by the " Desimone Levee." A breach in the Desimone Levee
section in Tukwila would inundate properties within both Kent and Tukwila.
E. Beginning in 2010, Kent prepared the necessary engineering studies to verify,
through FEMA's Conditional Letter of Map Revision process, that the levee segments
along the Green River are constructed to federal levee safety standards, and
identify any repairs needed in order to meet the standards. The study identified 2
weak portions of the levee system located in the city limits of Tukwila, see Exhibit
E.
F. Both parties desire to have the necessary repairs made to have the levee meet
federal levee safety standards.
G. Kent, along with King County, was instrumental in obtaining a $7,000,000 state
grant which was awarded to the King County Flood Control Zone District (KCFCD)
for Briscoe - Desimone Levee improvements, see Exhibit A.
H. The KCFCD passed Resolution FCD2013 -02.2 on February 26, 2013, providing
for use of the state grant, providing additional KCFCD funding for the Briscoe -
Desimone Levee project, supporting the use of setback levees that are retained by
Interlocal with Tukwila - Desimone Levee
Page 1 of 6 01/24/14

walls on the landward side, and assigning Kent responsibility for design and
construction of these setback levee improvements.
I. Kent entered into an interlocal agreement with the KCFCD on June 6, 2013, see
Exhibit B, relating to the use of state and KCFCD funds, assigning Kent as lead for
design, permitting and construction of the Briscoe - Desimone Levee project.
Tukwila desires that Kent act as lead agency for permitting, design and river levee
construction as well as certification of the Desimone Levee in Tukwila.
J. The Briscoe Levee is located along the right bank (easterly side) of the Green
River between S. 200th Street and S. 189th Street within Kent, River Mile 17.0 to
15.45. The Desimone Levee is located along the right bank of the Green River
between S. 189th Street and S. 180th Street within Tukwila, River Mile 15.45 to
14.3. The location of the Briscoe & Desimone Levees as shown on Exhibit C.
K. Because both parties desire to work together for the mutual and overall benefit
of their citizens and property owners, Kent shall be responsible for processing and
acquiring all permits, except for shoreline permits for work conducted within
Tukwila.
IN CONSIDERATION OF THE MUTUAL COVENANTS, CONDITIONS, PROMISES, AND
BENEFITS ESTABLISHED BELOW, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
AGREEMENT
1. AUTHORITY TO PERFORM NECESSARY STUDIES. Tukwila grants to Kent
authority to perform all necessary studies, engineering investigations and all other
work necessary to prepare a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) to accredit the
Desimone Levee, as shown in Exhibit E, whose failure would inundate a portion of
Tukwila and Kent. Kent will prepare all studies, submit LOMR applications and
respond to FEMA questions as needed to complete the LOMR process. Kent will
track all costs associated with this work.
2. PERMITTING AND SEPA REVIEW. Kent shall be responsible for conducting
SEPA review and for processing all permits necessary to complete the Desimone
levee improvements, except for shoreline permits required for work completed in
Tukwila, which shall be processed by Tukwila. Tukwila grants Kent the authority to
process and acquire permits for Tukwila and to conduct SEPA within Tukwila.
3. AUTHORITY TO PERFORM FINAL DESIGN OF NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS.
Tukwila hereby grants Kent the authority to perform all necessary design and
acquire necessary permits for needed repairs to the existing levees within the city
limits of Tukwila as required to certify the levee and obtain a LOMR from FEMA.
Whenever practical, Kent will provide Tukwila design drawings, specifications and
cost estimates of needed improvements for Tukwila's review and prior written
approval, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.
Interlocal with Tukwila - Desimone Levee
86
Page 2 of 6 01/24/14
4. AUTHORITY TO CONDEMN PROPERTY. Both parties have the authority, under
Title 8 of the Revised Code of Washington, to condemn property for the protection
of the public by the construction or reconstruction of this levee. Tukwila grants
Kent the authority to condemn, or to acquire in lieu of condemnation, property
within Tukwila, but only to the extent necessary to construct the levee
improvements as evidenced by approved preliminary or final construction plans.
5. CONSTRUCTION OF NECESSARY IMPROVEMENTS. It is anticipated that one
or more segments of the Desimone levee will require reconstruction in order to
certify that the levee meets FEMA requirements. Tukwila grants Kent the authority
to construct any necessary improvements to segments of the Desimone levee that
are located within Tukwila; provided, Tukwila shall have the right to inspect all work
done for workmanship and compliance with Tukwila's standards and to require
corrections when necessary. Tukwila shall be invited to all construction meetings
held by Kent.
6. COST SHARING All design, acquisition, and construction costs will be
included under this Agreement, provided the location of the wall is consistent with
KCFCD Resolution FCD2013 -02.2. Any changes specifically requested by Tukwila
that result in cost increases will be paid by Tukwila. Tukwila will provide
reimbursement to Kent within thirty (30) days of a request for reimbursement from
Kent. Compliance with the Tukwila Shoreline Master Program will not be considered
to be a change. The parties expect that all costs for work covered under this
agreement will be covered by the state grant, KCFCD funding, or other grant
sources. However, in the event any work, including design, property acquisition,
permit, and CLOMR work performed after January 1, 2013, is not funded fully by
other sources, funds are withdrawn, the project is not able to obtain a variance to
the Tukwila Shoreline permit in order to construct the project consistent with
KCFCD Resolution FCD2013 -02.2, or cost overruns exceed funding amounts, all
work will cease and the two parties will meet to discuss available options to allow
the project to move forward.
7. DESIGNATED REPRESENTATIVES. Each party shall designate a
representative to meet, confer, evaluate and administer expenditure proposals in
connection with these projects. The representatives shall meet as warranted at
dates and times determined by them to be most convenient. The representatives
are also empowered to designate, identify and develop procedures and processes
for their interaction in connection with the administration of the project.
8. INSURANCE. Each party shall be responsible for maintaining, during the
term of this Agreement, and at its sole cost and expense, insurance coverage in
amounts determined to be sufficient by each party's representative.
9. INDEMNIFICATION. Each party shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless
the other party, and all of its officials, employees, principals and agents, from any
and all claims, demands, suits, actions, fines, penalties and liability of any kind,
including injuries to persons or damages to property, arising out of or relating to
any negligent acts, errors or omissions of the indemnifying party and its
Interlocal with Tukwila - Desimone Levee
Page 3 of 6 01/24/14
87
contractors, agents, employees and representatives in performing these obligations
under this Agreement. However, if any such damages and injuries to persons or
property are caused by or result from the concurrent negligence of Kent or its
contractors, employees, agents, or representatives, and the city of Tukwila or its
contractors, employees, agents, or representatives, each party's obligation
hereunder applies only to the extent of the negligence of such party or its
contractor or employees, agents, or representatives. This indemnification provision
shall not be construed as waiving any immunity granted to Kent or Tukwila, under
state statute, including chapters 86.12 and 86.15 RCW, as to any other entity.
The foregoing indemnity is specifically and expressly intended to constitute a waiver
of each party's immunity under industrial insurance, Title 51 RCW, as respects the
other party only, and only to the extent necessary to provide the indemnified party
with a full and complete indemnity of claims made by the indemnitor's employees.
This waiver has been mutually negotiated.
10. RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES AND GOVERNING LAW. This agreement shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington.
If the parties are unable to settle any dispute, difference or claim arising from the
parties' performance of this agreement, the exclusive means of resolving that
dispute, difference or claim, shall only be by filing suit exclusively under the venue,
rules and jurisdiction of the King County Superior Court, King County, Washington,
unless the parties agree in writing to an alternative dispute resolution process. In
any claim or lawsuit for damages arising from the parties' performance of this
agreement, each party shall pay all its legal costs and attorney's fees incurred in
defending or bringing such claim or lawsuit, including all appeals; provided,
however, nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to limit a party's right to
indemnification under Section 9 of this agreement.
11. WRITTEN NOTICE. All communications regarding this agreement shall be
sent to the parties' respective city clerks at the addresses listed on the signature
page of the agreement. Any written notice hereunder shall become effective three
(3) business days after the date of mailing by registered or certified mail.
12. ASSIGNMENT. Any assignment of this agreement by either party without the
written consent of the other party shall be void. If the non - assigning party gives its
consent to any assignment, the terms of this agreement shall continue in full force
and effect and no further assignment shall be made without additional written
consent.
13. MODIFICATION. No waiver, alteration, or modification of any of the
provisions of this agreement shall be binding unless in writing and signed by a duly
authorized representative of the parties. Modifications to this agreement shall not
require approval of the parties' respective city councils.

Flood Agreement No. G1300118 between the
Washington State Department of Ecology and the
King County Flood Control Zone District
Project: Briscoe / Desimone Levee Improvements
Scope of Work
Project Title: Briscoe - Desimone Levee Improvements
Description: The project involves improvements to the Briscoe and Desimone levees which are on
the right (eastern) bank of the Green River between River Miles (RM) 14.3 -17.00 in
the cities of Kent and Tukwila.
The Briscoe and Desimone levees are aging earthen levees with over - steepened
slopes, a levee crest less than 12 feet wide, and toe scour protection that is generally
missing or inadequate. The adjoining river channel lacks adequate in- stream and
aquatic edge habitat structure, such as deep pools, large woody debris, and
overhanging cover. While originally built to provide flood risk reduction to farmland in
the Kent Valley, these aging levees now protect $2.8 billion worth of urban structures
and contents. A levee breach or overtopping in this location would have serious
implications including threats to public safety, damage to public infrastructure,
impacts on the regional economy, and damage to private structures (including homes
and businesses). Single -flood damage estimates for a failure of containment by
these levees exceed $830 million. The economic disruption to the valley would be
measured in years. Businesses with expensive and difficult to relocate or replace
industrial machinery are particularly at risk.
Because of these significant risks, improvements to this levee segment are a very
high priority to the City of Kent and the King County Flood Control District.
Work: The scope of this grant agreement focuses on the portion of the levee segment
that is between River Mile 15.98 and 16.36. The Recipient shall perform the
following work:
i
Scope of Work
Task 1: Project Coordination and Administration
The Recipient will coordinate throughout the grant period with Ecology and other
federal, state, local agencies, and Indian tribes. In its commitment to provide

before work begins.
This Task also covers expenses for the recipient to administer the grant including, but
not limited to: contract monitoring; coordinating with the Corps of Engineers, FEMA,
the City of Kent, and other parties; internal staff reviews; construction engineering
management; etc.

upon satisfactory performance by the RECIPIENT of all of its obligations under this agreement. In
the event the RECIPIENT unjustifiably fails, in the opinion of the DEPARTMENT, to perform any
obligation required of it by this agreement, the DEPARTMENT may refuse to pay any further funds
thereunder and /or terminate this agreement by giving written notice of termination.
A written notice of termination shall be given at least five working days prior to the
effective date of termination. In that event, all finished or unfinished documents, data studies,
surveys, drawings, maps, models, photographs, and reports or other materials prepared by the
RECIPIENT under this agreement, at the option of the DEPARTMENT, shall become Department
property and the RECIPIENT shall be entitled to receive just and equitable compensation for any
satisfactory work completed on such documents and other materials.
Despite the above, the RECIPIENT shall not be relieved of any liability to the
DEPARTMENT for damages sustained by the DEPARTMENT and /or the State of Washington
because of any breach of agreement by the RECIPIENT. The DEPARTMENT may withhold
payments for the purpose of setoff until such time as the exact amount of damages due the
DEPARTMENT from the RECIPIENT is determined.

contingent on the availability of state and federal funds through legislative appropriation and state
Page 15 of 24
105
Flood Agreement No. G1300118 between the
Washington State Department of Ecology and the
King County Flood Control Zone District
Project: Briscoe / Desimone Levee Improvements
allotment. When this agreement crosses over state fiscal years the obligation of the DEPARTMENT
is contingent upon the appropriation of funds during the next fiscal year. The failure to appropriate
or allot such funds shall be good cause to terminate this agreement as provided in paragraph K.1
above.
When this agreement crosses the RECIPIENT's fiscal year, the obligation of the
RECIPIENT to continue or complete the project described herein shall be contingent upon
appropriation of funds by the RECIPIENT's governing body; Provided, however, that nothing
contained herein shall preclude the DEPARTMENT from demanding repayment of ALL funds paid to
the RECIPIENT in accordance with Section 0 herein.
3. Failure to Commence Work. In the event the RECIPIENT fails to commence work on
the project funded herein within four months after the effective date of this agreement, or by any
date mutually agreed upon in writing for commencement of work, the DEPARTMENT reserves the
right to terminate this agreement.
L. WAIVER
Waiver of any RECIPIENT default is not a waiver of any subsequent default. Waiver of a
breach of any provision of this agreement is not a waiver of any subsequent breach and will not be
construed as a modification of the terms of this agreement unless stated as such in writing by the
authorized representative of the DEPARTMENT.
M. PROPERTY RIGHTS
1. Copyrights and Patents. When the RECIPIENT creates any copyrightable materials
or invents any patentable property, the RECIPIENT may copyright or patent the same but the
DEPARTMENT retains a royalty-free, nonexclusive and irrevocable license to reproduce, publish,
recover or otherwise use the material(s) or property and to authorize others to use the same for
federal, state or local government purposes.
Where federal funding is involved, the federal government may have a proprietary
interest in patent rights to any inventions that are developed by the RECIPIENT as provided in 35
U.S.C. 200 -212.
2. Publications. When the RECIPIENT or persons employed by the RECIPIENT use or
publish information of the DEPARTMENT; present papers, lectures, or seminars involving
information supplied by the DEPARTMENT; use logos, reports, maps or other data, in printed
reports, signs, brochures, pamphlets, etc., appropriate credit shall be given to the DEPARTMENT.
3. Tangible Property Rights. The DEPARTMENT's current edition of "Administrative
Requirements for Ecology Grants and Loans ", Part V, shall control the use and disposition of all real
and personal property purchased wholly or in part with funds furnished by the DEPARTMENT in the
absence of state, federal statute(s), regulation(s), or policy(s) to the contrary or upon specific
instructions with respect thereto in the Scope of Work.
4. Personal Property Furnished by the DEPARTMENT. When the DEPARTMENT
provides personal property directly to the RECIPIENT for use in performance of the project, it shall
be returned to the DEPARTMENT prior to final payment by the DEPARTMENT. If said property is
lost, stolen or damaged while in the RECIPIENT's possession, the DEPARTMENT shall be
reimbursed in cash or by setoff by the RECIPIENT for the fair market value of such property.
5. Acquisition Projects. The following provisions shall apply if the project covered by this
agreement includes funds for the acquisition of land or facilities:
a. Prior to disbursement of funds provided for in this agreement, the RECIPIENT
shall establish that the cost of land /or facilities is fair and reasonable.

King County Flood Control Zone District
Project: Briscoe / Desimone Levee Improvements
that the land is free from any impediment, lien, or claim which would impair the uses contemplated
by this agreement.
6. Conversions. Regardless of the contract termination date shown on the cover sheet,
the RECIPIENT shall not at any time convert any equipment, property or facility acquired or
developed pursuant to this agreement to uses other than those for which assistance was originally
approved without prior written approval of the DEPARTMENT. Such approval may be conditioned
upon payment to the DEPARTMENT of that portion of the proceeds of the sale, lease or other
conversion or encumbrance which monies granted pursuant to this agreement bear to the total
acquisition, purchase or construction costs of such property.
N. SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS
In order to sustain Washington's natural resources and ecosystems, the RECIPIENT is
encouraged to implement sustainable practices where and when possible. These practices include
use of clean energy, and purchase and use of sustainably produced products (e.g. recycled paper).

O. RECOVERY OF PAYMENTS TO RECIPIENT
The right of the RECIPIENT to retain monies paid to it as reimbursement payments is
contingent upon satisfactory performance of this agreement including the satisfactory completion of
the project described in the Scope of Work. In the event the RECIPIENT fails, for any reason, to
perform obligations required of it by this agreement, the RECIPIENT may, at the DEPARTMENT's
sole discretion, be required to repay to the DEPARTMENT all grant/loan funds disbursed to the
RECIPIENT for those parts of the project that are rendered worthless in the opinion of the
DEPARTMENT by such failure to perform.
Interest shall accrue at the rate of twelve percent (12 %) per year from the time the
DEPARTMENT demands repayment of funds. If payments have been discontinued by the
DEPARTMENT due to insufficient funds as in Section K.2 above, the RECIPIENT shall not be
obligated to repay monies which had been paid to the RECIPIENT prior to such termination. Any
property acquired under this agreement, at the option of the DEPARTMENT, may become the
DEPARTMENT'S property and the RECIPIENT'S liability to repay monies shall be reduced by an
amount reflecting the fair value of such property.
P. PROJECT APPROVAL
The extent and character of all work and services to be performed under this agreement by
the RECIPIENT shall be subject to the review and approval of the DEPARTMENT through the
Project Officer or other designated official to whom the RECIPIENT shall report and be responsible.

determination of the Project Officer or other designated official as to the extent and character of the
work to be done shall govern. The RECIPIENT shall have the right to appeal decisions as provided
for below.
Q. DISPUTES
Except as otherwise provided in this agreement, any dispute concerning a question of fact
arising under this agreement which is not disposed of in writing shall be decided by the Project
Officer or other designated official who shall provide a written statement of decision to the
RECIPIENT. The decision of the Project Officer or other designated official shall be final and
conclusive unless, within thirty days from the date of receipt of such statement, the RECIPIENT
mails or otherwise furnishes to the Director of the DEPARTMENT a written appeal.
In connection with appeal of any proceeding under this clause, the RECIPIENT shall have
the opportunity to be heard and to offer evidence in support of this appeal. The decision of the

EXHIBIT B
AGREEMENT FOR LEVEE CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Briscoe — Desimone Levee
River Mile 14.3 to 17.0, Right Bank
THIS AGREEMENT FOR LEVEE CONSTRUCTION, OPERATION AND
MAINTENANCE ( "Agreement ") of the Briscoe — Desimone Levee, River Mile 14.3 to 17.0,
Right Bank ( "Levee ") is entered into on the last date signed below by and between the Parties,
the CITY OF KENT, a Washington municipal corporation ( "City "), and KING COUNTY
FLOOD CONTROL ZONE DISTRICT, a quasi - municipal corporation of the State of
Washington ( "District ") (collectively, the "Parties ").
RECITALS
A. King County, Washington, through the Water and Land Resources Division of the
King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks ( "WLRD "), as service provider to the
District pursuant to an interlocal agreement with the District, operates and maintains a major
portion of the Green River Levee System.
B. The Briscoe - Desimone levee ( "Levee ") is a key part of the Green River levee
system. The District Board of Supervisors desires to improve the Levee by constructing new
floodwalls at four sites, known as Reaches 1, 2, 3 and 4, described and shown in Exhibit A
(Sheet 1 of 4 and Sheet 3 of 4). The four floodwall projects will hereafter be referred to
individually as "Reach "X" Project" or "Reach Project," and collectively as "Levee Project,"
"Levee Reaches," or "Reach Projects." The Levee Project is planned for construction from
2013 through 2015. The Reach 3 Project will be constructed first, beginning in 2013.
C. Based on a collaborative effort, presentation and request to the State Legislature
in the 2012 Legislative Session, the Legislature passed ESHB 6074 relating to the 2011 -2013
State Capital Budget. Section 3009 of ESHB 6074 appropriated $7,000,000 to the District for
the "Briscoe - Desimone levee improvement project ". This amount was based on the City's
estimated cost to construct the Reach 3 Project in order to meet National Flood Insurance
Program accreditation standards, and allow the Federal Emergency Management Agency
( "FEMA ") to verify compliance with such accreditation standards. Unless the State Legislature
reappropriates the funds into the 2013 -2015 biennium, the appropriation will need to be
expended prior to June 30, 2013
D. Using ESHB 6074 funds, the District desires to authorize and the City desires to
construct the Reach 3 Project as soon as possible, in order to provide for the safety of the
residents and businesses that will be protected by this levee.

E. By Resolution FCD2013 -06, adopted on April 29, 2013, the District Board of
Supervisors authorized the Chair of the Board to enter into a Grant Agreement (No. G1300118)
with the state Department of Ecology relating to the use of the $7,000,000 for the Reach 3
Project ( "DOE Agreement "). The DOE Agreement estimates that the cost of the Reach 3 Project
will be $7,500,000, with a maximum grant amount of $7,000,000 and a maximum District
contribution of $500,000.
F. By Resolution FCD2013 -02.2, adopted on February 26, 2013, the District Board
of Supervisors declared its intent to address urgent flood risk reduction needs throughout King
County and to work cooperatively with Green River cities to manage flood plain resources. In
this Resolution, the District Board of Supervisors also approved funding for the Levee Project
under certain conditions and requirements to be satisfied by both the City and the District
G. In Resolution FCD2013 -02.2, the District Board of Supervisors did not specify a
maximum funding for the Levee Project. During the District Board of Supervisors' discussions
of this Resolution, the City stated that the estimated cost of the Levee Project would be
$17,000,000. The District Board of Supervisors required changes to the design of the Levee
Project floodwalls and called for additional setbacks for the Reach 1 levee. The City also stated
that the required design change would add an additional $1,000,000 to the Reach 1 Project cost,
resulting in a total cost of $18.000,000 for the Levee Project.
H. After adoption of Resolution FCD2013 -02.2, the City revised its estimate for
construction of the Levee Project to $18,500,000. The District has not reviewed or analyzed this
City estimate.
I. The Parties desire to enter into this Agreement to establish the terms and
conditions for the Levee Project, and for all four Reach Projects.
J. By Motion FCD11 -02.1, adopted on July 6, 2011, the District Board of
Supervisors adopted certain levee maintenance and repair standards and requirements and
addressed countywide flood protection levels, levee accreditation and certification. This Motion
is applicable to the Levee Project, to the extent that the Motion is consistent with Resolution
FCD2013 -02.2.

Description of Briscoe - Desimone Levee Improvements
The Briscoe - Desimone Levee is located along the right bank (easterly side) of the Green River
between S. 200th Street and S. 180th Street, (see Figure 1, Exhibit A Sheet 2 of 4). The Briscoe
levee is located along the right bank of the Green River between S. 200th Street and S. 189th
Street within the City of Kent. The Desimone levee is located along the right bank of the Green
River between S. 189th Street and S 180th Street in the City of Tukwila. Together these levee
segments are approximately 2.7 miles in length and protect properties within the cities of Kent,
Tukwila and Renton. Tilt -up style buildings (manufacturing and industrial) are located adjacent
to the entire stretch of levee.
Four sections (reaches) of the levee, approximately 4,450 linear feet, don't meet slope and
stability requirements and need repair to meet FEMA accreditation requirements. Reach 1 is
located between RM 14.47 and 14.63 and totals 1,050 If. Reach 2 is located between RM 15.45
and 15.57 and totals 8501f. Reach 3 is between RM 15.98 and 16.36, totaling 2,3501f, and
Reach 4 is between RM 16.95 and 17.00 and totals 2001f. Reaches 1, 2 and 3 are on the outside
of sharp bends in the river and Reach 4 is just north of the S. 200th Street Bridge. Structural steel
sheet pile walls are proposed to be installed at the back of the existing levee slope to act as a
secondary levee to reduce flood risk to the cities of Kent, Tukwila and Renton and protect the
large number of warehouses, manufacturing facilities and some retail establishments behind
these levees. These areas are shown on Figure 2, Reach Location Map (see Exhibit A Sheet 3 of
4). In addition, large stumps and roots will be removed in areas between the four reaches along
the levee where they could compromise levee stability and/or are in the construction project area.
The walls will provide a minimum of 3 feet of freeboard above the predicted 100 -year flood
event, (see artist rendering Exhibit A Sheet 4 of 4). This proposal allows for some re- vegetation
and habitat restoration work along the river between the ordinary high water line and the trail in
areas where the wall is constructed. In areas where walls are installed, benches will be
constructed where feasible and native vegetation will be planted above the ordinary high water
line.

144 County. The approval of the use of flood walls in this location does not set a precedent for their
145 use in other parts of the County or the Green River corridor, nor should this limited use be
146 considered a departure from the District's intent of setting back levees where appropriate,
147 SECTION 9. The District hereby directs District staff to work with King County to
148 develop a funding strategy for consideration by the District using bond financing to accelerate
149 high- priority flood protection projects throughout the county that are not fully funded through
150 pay -as- you -go implementation of the District's capital improvement program. This strategy
151 should consider the long -term financial stability of the Flood Control District, the ability to
152 commit Flood District revenue to pay necessary debt service over the life of the bond, the

improved does not matter. The situation has worsened over the last few years, and he is concerned
about the individuals that will be impacted by the Council's decision. He stated he will support the
condemnation process, which will allow police officers to focus on other areas of the City.
Councilmember Ekberg stated his family lived along TIB in the past, and there has been a degradation of
the area. He is interested in putting a stop to that and finding ways to improve the area. Once the City
invests in the Tukwila Village development, there will be an influx of new residents within the area. This
will include the first senior citizen development within the City, and it is important to make sure that area is
safe.
Councilmember Seal stated that during the Strategic Planning process, crime along Tukwila International
Boulevard was the most talked about issue. The City Council spent a significant amount of time
brainstorming how to resolve the issues surrounding TIB. She voiced her support for the ordinance, and
stated the Council wants to work with the business owners. This process needs to happen to keep the
redevelopment momentum moving forward. The Tukwila Village development will bring a whole new
group of people to the City, and the ordinance before the Council is one more step in the process for
revitalization of the area.
Councilmember Quinn voiced his support for the proposed ordinance and stated it has taken a long time
for this type of action to move forward. He clarified that the City has planned this type of redevelopment
since 1998, and it was confirmed in 2000. The subject area was designated as an Urban Renewal Area,
and revitalization efforts started with a task force. TIBAC (Tukwila International Boulevard Action
Committee) has been working on the issue, and it was evident from comments received during the City's
Strategic Planning process, this is an area of concern. The Mayor and City Administration are ready to
move forward with this proposal, and the Police Chief is willing to see it through, and the Council wants to
work toward improving the area. He said the citizens are demanding more from the City, and he would
like to see more communication on this issue stating the City, in conjunction with the residents are moving
forward with this process.
Councilmember Kruller explained that she is looking out for everyone within the City, and it is very
important that the image of the City is changed and that Tukwila is a safe place to live. She stated TIBAC
has been an important part of the changes along TIB. She voiced her support for the local businesses
that will be affected by the process, and she urged City Administration to keep the lines of communication
open with those businesses. She voiced her support for the process, stating it is a bold step. She feels
when someone visits Tukwila within the next 10 years, it will be a great place to visit. It will be welcoming
and the residents and community will feel safe as a result of the action being considered by the Council.
Mayor Haggerton expressed his appreciation for the comments received this evening. He explained City
Administration and the Tukwila Police Department have been trying to work with the property owners and
property managers within the subject area for quite some time. The properties identified did not want to
work with the City on the issues, and this is the result. He explained the City's Strategic Planning process
was the defining moment; it was loud and clear that the City needed to do something about the issues
along TIB. Mayor Haggerton commented on the history of the area from the late 1950's, when the
community could safely walk along TIB. The purpose of the proposed ordinance is that it will again be
safe to walk along TIB.
Council President Hougardy spoke in favor of the ordinance, and she explained that within the past 15
years TIB has become a richly diverse area. TIB is surrounded by a string of communities, and the City
has not been able to promote those communities due to the increased crime in the area.
COUNCIL CONSENSUS EXISTED TO FORWARD THIS ITEM TO THE SPECIAL MEETING THIS
EVENING.
b. Briscoe /Desimone Levee design.
Councilmember Robertson explained three Councilmembers were asked to work with City staff to
understand the issues surrounding the proposed design of the Briscoe / Desimone Levee Repair Project.
He commented that the levee needs to be repaired. Without the repairs there could be a future problem
145

with FEMA insurance in the cities of Kent, a portion of Tukwila and Renton. Additionally, there are life
and property issues to contend with if the levees are not repaired.
The Council Sub - committee spent time with City staff and discussed the following:
• Two of the levee reaches are within the City of Tukwila: the entire Reach 1 plus a small part of
Reach 2. The most complicated repair is located within the City of Tukwila for Reach 1, located
at 180th Street and West Valley Highway (State Route 181).
• The City of Kent is concerned as Tukwila's support is needed at the Flood Control District "now"
to retain the State funds.
• There are physical problems meeting Tukwila's Shoreline Management Program (SMP) minimum
levee cross - section for the section of Reach 1 adjacent to West Valley Highway. The SMP has
tools (a variance process) or the SMP could be amended to solve the problems.
• Negotiations with Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) will be required for
the part adjacent to the highway.
• There may be "physical" reasons the SMP's minimum levee cross - section cannot be met
elsewhere in Reach 1.
• A considerable amount of engineering that will be required before levee repair construction in
Tukwila could proceed (possibly in 2014).
The committee is proposing a motion to support Kent relating to this issue to be discussed at the Special
Meeting immediately following the Committee of the Whole meeting. The proposed motion states 'Tukwila
supports the repair efforts within the City of Kent, and that while the design of the repair for work within
Kent is acceptable for their portion of the levee, it does not work for the portion of the levee within
Tukwila.
Alternative Paths Forward:
1. Interpret SMP use of flood wall to include infrastructure such as a major state highway. Also
assume definition of a "building" includes a state highway.
2. Use a shoreline variance.
3. Amend the City's SMP, which would be the lengthiest solution.
Recommendation for Council:
1. Continue engineering /design efforts.
2. Support Kent at the Flood Control District for the Kent Reaches.
3. Seek further analysis, engineering, and discussion, including City Administration's
recommendation on alternate paths forward.
The City of Kent has completed some engineering within Tukwila. The Council Sub - committee suggests
City staff bring forward a proposed design with the physical changes that would conform to the City's
SMP (or as close as possible). The information should include the engineering data associated with the
proposed design, and any proposed amendments to the City's SMP. This information would be for the
Council Sub - committee to review prior to staff moving forward with an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) between
the cities of Kent and Tukwila.
Councilmember Quinn encouraged the Council to visit the King County Flood Control District website to
view the terms between Kent and King County relating to the levee repair project
( http:// www .kingcountvfloodcontrol.orq). He commented that there is no requirement for an ILA between
the cities of Kent and Tukwila. He feels the Sub - committee's work is due diligence that should be done
prior to the City considering any ILA.
Councilmember Kruller voiced her appreciation for City staff during the Sub - committee meeting. While
there is a proposed support statement, it was determined that the City does not need to rush into an ILA
with Kent. She feels there is time for City staff to sort through the project information and all the options
available to the City. Having the City take time to review the information should not hinder Kent in any
way, as they are still in negotiations with King County on an ILA for the levee repairs. There are things
happening along the river that need to be addressed, and she voiced support for the proposed motion.
146
Tukwila City Council Committee of the Whole Minutes
April 22, 2013
Page 6 of 7
Councilmember Seal commented that rather than trying to slow down the process, the Council is working
to ensure the City is performing due diligence relating to this issue. The City spent a considerable
amount of time working through the Shoreline Master Program. She voiced her support for moving
forward with the proposed motion of support.
Council President Hougardy asked if the Council Sub - committee would like to continue working through
this issue.
Councilmember Robertson suggested the issue be discussed at a future Community Affairs and Parks
Committee.
Councilmember Ekberg spoke in favor of having this item brought forward for review by the Community
Affairs and Parks Committee.
Councilmember Robertson read the Council Sub - committee's recommended motion of support to include
a minor language edit (the friendly wording additions are in underlined format):
"Tukwila supports Kent's continuing efforts to address the Desimone /Briscoe Levee structural
problems. Tukwila also supports Kent's desire to begin construction in 2013 for the levee reaches in
Kent.
Further design /engineering work is necessary for the to solve the Desimone /Briscoe levee problems
in Tukwila because of the specific site issues and Tukwila's Shoreline Management Plan standards.
Tukwila's SMP is specific to Tukwila's natural environment and is adapted to work with Tukwila's
unique ecological functions, shoreline and development on the river. Tukwila looks forward to
working with Kent and the King County Flood Control District to resolve any issues so that
construction in Tukwila can also move forward."
COUNCIL CONSENSUS EXISTED TO FORWARD THIS ITEM, AS AMENDED, TO THE SPECIAL
MEETING THIS EVENING.

II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Ordinance: Franchise Agreement with tw telecom of washington Ilc (TWTC)
Staff is seeking Council approval of an ordinance that would renew a non - exclusive franchise to tw
telecom of washington Ilc (TWTC) for the continued operation of a fiber optic cable system in the
City rights -of -way for a five year term with an option for a one -year extension. TWTC will pay a
$5,000 administrative fee for reimbursement of costs associated with this agreement.
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO FEBRUARY 10, 2014 COMMITTEE OF THE
WHOLE.
B. Change Order: Sewer Repair at 6450 Southcenter Boulevard
Staff is seeking Council approval of a change order to Contract No. 13 -181 with Green River
Construction, Inc. in the amount of $104,462.03 for the Sewer Repair at 6450 Southcenter
Boulevard. This contract was originally approved in November 2013 to install a new manhole,
clear blockages and make any other necessary repairs to the sewer main near the intersection of
Southcenter Boulevard and 65th Avenue South. During initial excavation work, it was found that
two orange fiber optic ducts had broken through the sewer line at multiple locations, resulting in
an increase to the scope of the repair project as well as an extension of contract time for the
completion of landscaping and irrigation work. The City will file a claim against Comcast for the
damages to the sewer line and the costs incurred for the repair. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.
FORWARD TO FEBRUARY 10, 2014 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
C. Interlocal Agreement: Briscoe /Desimone Levee
Staff is seeking Council approval of an interlocal agreement (ILA) with the City of Kent for repairs
to the Briscoe /Desimone Levee. The Briscoe /Desimone Levee is located along the east side of
the Green River between South 180th Street in Tukwila and South 200th Street in Kent. The King
County Flood Control District assigned the City of Kent responsibility for the design and
construction of setback levees retained by walls on the landward side, and this ILA will allow the
City of Kent to perform work in the City of Tukwila. The agreement authorizes the work,
designates SEPA authority, grants condemnation authority and allows work to commence. Staff
from both cities participated in the drafting of the ILA, which requires Kent to meet Tukwila's
shoreline regulations. Construction is expected to begin in early 2015 and no funds from Tukwila
are required or anticipated at this time. Committee Chair Kruller mentioned a 2013 Council motion
relating to the design work and asked staff to confirm no discrepancies between the language
discussed then and the currently proposed ILA. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO
FEBRUARY 10, 2014 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.

Sewer Repair at 6450 Southcenter BIvd
Project No. 91340203
Change Order No. 1 to Contract No. 13-181
ISSUE
Approve Change Order No.1 to the contract with Green River Construction, Inc. for the Sewer
Repair at045O8OUthCenter Blvd in the amount 0f$1O4.4O2.O3 (including sales tox).
BACKGROUND
While cleaning and jetting a plugged sewer line near the intersection of Southcenter Blvd and
65th Ave S, City staff encountered problems that prevented them from clearing the unknown
obstruction and resulted in the jet head and hose becoming stuck in the sewer line. Staff was
unable to free the hose and it had to be cut and left in the manhole and sewer line. It was
determined that the only way the blockage could be cleared was to install a new manhole where
the jet hose was stuck.
A contract was approved by Council on November 4, 2013 with Green River Construction, Inc.
in the amount of $34,164.00 to install the new manhole, clear any blockages, and/or make any
other necessary repairs to the sewer main.
DISCUSSION
The initial excavation work encountered sewage in the soils at approximately 5 feet deep and 2
feet above the sewer pipe. Staff determined that the sewer line must be broken near this
location and that bypass pumping would be required for the sewer line to be repaired. A
temporary pumping system was installed in order to control raw sewage from continuing to
contaminate the work area. With the temporary pumping system in p|ace, the contractor was
able to excavate and examine the broken sewer pipe. With the sewer line now exposed, it was
found that two orange fiber optic ducts installed by directional boring equipment had broken
through the sewer line at multiple locations. Because the fiber optic ducts were installed
adjacent to the sewer |ine, the trench length had to be greatly increased to determine if there
was any further damage to our sewer pipe and to allow for the necessary repairs.
The scope of the actual sewer repairs changed dramatically from the scope of the repair project
that was awarded to Green River Construction, Inc. Since the bid items do not accurately reflect
the work that was performed, the contract work was tracked on a time and material basis in
order to calculate fair compensation for the contractor's effort. The changed scope of work also
merits an extension of contract time for the contractor to complete landscaping and irrigation
work to March 31, 2014.

Sheet 2 of 2
During the first clay of work on November 14, 2013, Green River Construction began excavating
for the proposed sewer manhole in front of the business at 6450 Southcenter Blvd. The
contractor excavated down above the sewer line near where the City of Tukwila staff
determined the end of the Vactor truck jetting hose was lodged in the sewer pipe. The
contractor was down about 5 feet from the surface and 2 feet above the sewer pipe, when
sewage came boiling out of the bottom of the trench. The contractor tried to control the sewage
flow into the trench with a trash pump. The small trash pump could not keep up with the flow of
sewage into the trench. Staff determined that the sewer line must be broken near this location
and that bypass pumping would be required for the sewer line to be repaired. The City of
Tukwila then contacted Godwin Pumps to provide and install a temporary pumping system
around the work area. Godwin installed temporary piping and a large diesel pump with the
assistance of Green River Construction on the afternoon of November 14.
On November 15, with the temporary pumping system up and running, Green River was able to
excavate down to the sewer pipe. With the sewer line now exposed it was found that two orange
poly fiber optic ducts were running parallel and immediately adjacent to the sewer line and the
sewer line was broken in two places. The Vactor Truck jet hose could be seen inside the sewer
pipe. The original scope of the project was to open up about 15 feet of trench above the sewer
line for the installation of the proposed manhole. With the fiber optic ducts running this close to
the sewer line the trench length would have to be increased to verify the condition of the sewer
line. At this point, there was a major change in conditions in contract for the manhole installation
project. The City of Tukwila then requested Green River Construction work under Force Account
Rules to repair the sanitary sewer line damaged by the installation of the fiber optic cables by
Comcast earlier in the summer 2013. The installation of manhole was deleted from scope of the
contract.
The revised scope of work is to repair the damaged sanitary sewer line and restore the
disturbed area back to the existing condition prior to the repair. This work is to done by Force
Account for the sewer repair and fixed dollar amount for the site restoration.
Please see attached invoice and documentation from Green River Construction to justify the
project costs.

effective date of this ordinance shall void and nullify any and all rights granted under this
Franchise Agreement.
Section 5. Construction Provisions and Standards. The following provisions
shall be considered mandatory and failure to abide by any conditions described herein
shall be deemed as non - compliance with the terms of this Franchise Agreement and
may result in some or all of the penalties specified in Section 6.
A. Permit Required. No construction, maintenance, or repairs (except for
emergency repairs) shall be undertaken in the Franchise Area without first obtaining
appropriate permits from the City of Tukwila, Department of Public Works. In case of an

infrastructure, future Capital Improvement Projects, all developer improvements, and
pertinent codes and ordinances.

unless otherwise exempted from this requirement, in writing, by the Director of Public
Works.

the Franchise Area, and such public improvement requires the relocation of TWTC's
facilities, the City shall provide TWTC with written notice requesting such relocation,
along with plans for the public improvement that are sufficiently complete to allow for the
initial evaluation, coordination and the development of a relocation plan. The City and
TVVTC shall meet at a time and location determined by the City to discuss the project
requirements including critical timelines, schedules, construction standards, utility
conflicts, as -built requirements, and other pertinent relocation plan details.

written request from the City, provide at TWTC's expense, base maps, current as -built
information, detailed relocation plan (including detailed schedule of relocation activities,
identification of critical path, identification of facilities, and relocation procedures), and
other design, technical or operational requirements within the time frame specified by
the City.
3. TWTC may, after receipt of written notice requesting a relocation of its
facilities, submit to the City written alternatives to such relocation within a reasonable
time specified by the City. Such alternatives shall include the use and operation of
temporary facilities in adjacent rights -of -way. The City shall evaluate such alternatives
and advise TWTC in writing if one or more of the alternatives are suitable to
accommodate the work, which would otherwise necessitate relocation of the facilities. If
requested by the City, TWTC shall submit additional information to assist the City in
making such evaluation. The City shall give each alternative proposed by TWTC full
and fair consideration. In the event the City ultimately determines that there is no other
reasonable alternative, TWTC shall relocate its facilities as otherwise specified in
Section 5.E.
4. Upon final approval of the relocation plan by the City, TWTC shall, at its
own expense, unless otherwise prohibited by statute, and at the time frame specified by
the City, temporarily or permanently remove, relocate, place underground, change or
alter the position of any facilities or structures within the right -of -way whenever the City
has determined that such removal, relocation, undergrounding, change or alteration is
reasonably necessary for the construction, repair, maintenance, installation, public
safety, or operation of any public improvement in or upon the rights -of -way.
5. If during the construction, repair, or maintenance of the City's public
improvement project an unexpected conflict occurs from TWTC's facilities, TWTC shall,
upon notification from the City, respond within 24 hours to resolve the conflict.
F. Removal or Abandonment. Upon the removal from service of any service
antennas or other associated structures, facilities and amenities within the Franchise
Area, TWTC shall comply with all applicable standards and requirements prescribed by
the City of Tukwila Public Works Department for the removal or abandonment of said
structures and facilities. No facility constructed or owned by TWTC may be abandoned
without the express written consent of the City.

construction, repair, relocation, or maintenance authorized by this Franchise
Agreement, TWTC shall, upon the request of the City, furnish a bond executed by
TWTC and a corporate surety authorized to operate a surety business in the State of
Washington, in such sum as may be set and approved by the City as sufficient to
ensure performance of TWTC's obligations under this Franchise Agreement, provided,
however, that such sum shall not exceed 150% of the cost of the telecommunications
system to be installed by TWTC in the City rights -of -way. At TWTC's sole option,

Page 4 of 11
TWTC may provide alternate security in the form of an assignment of funds or a letter of
credit, in the same amount as the bond. All forms of security shall be in the form
reasonably acceptable to the City. The bond shall be conditioned so that TWTC shall
observe all the covenants, terms, and conditions and shall faithfully perform all of the
obligations of this Franchise Agreement, and to repair or replace any defective TWTC
work or materials discovered in the City's roads, streets, or property.
H. "One -Call" Location & Liability. TWTC shall subscribe to and maintain
membership in the regional "One -Call" utility location service and shall promptly locate
all of its lines upon request. The City shall not be liable for any damages to TWTC's
system components or for interruptions in service to TWTC customers which are a
direct result of work performed for any City project for which TWTC has failed to
properly locate its lines and facilities within the prescribed time limits and guidelines
established by One -Call. The City shall also not be liable for any damages to the TWTC
system components or for interruptions in service to TWTC customers resulting from
work performed under a permit issued by the City.
I. As -Built Plans Required. TWTC shall maintain accurate engineering plans
and details of all installations within the City limits and shall provide such information in
both paper form and electronic form using the most current Autocad version prior to
close -out of any permit issued by the City and any work undertaken by TWTC pursuant
to this Franchise Agreement. The City shall determine the acceptability of any as -built
submittals provided under this section.
J. Recovery of Costs. TWTC shall be subject to all permit fees associated with
activities undertaken through the authority granted in this Franchise Agreement or under
ordinances of the City. Where the City incurs reasonable costs and expenses for
review or inspection of activities undertaken through the authority granted in this
Franchise Agreement or any ordinances relating to the subject for which permit fees
have not been established, TWTC shall pay such reasonable costs and expenses
directly to the City.
K. Vacation. If, at any time, the City shall vacate any City road, right -of -way or
other City property which is subject to rights granted by this Franchise Agreement and
said vacation shall be for the purpose of acquiring the fee or other property interest in
said road, right -of -way or other City property for the use of the City, in either its
proprietary or governmental capacity, then the City may, at its option and by giving 30
days written notice to TWTC, terminate this Franchise Agreement with reference to
such City road, right -of -way or other City property so vacated, and the City shall not be
liable for any damages or loss to TWTC by reason of such termination other than those
provided for in RCW 35.99.

Section 6. Franchise Compliance.
A. Franchise Violations. The failure by TWTC to fully comply with any of the
provisions of this Franchise Agreement may result in a written notice from the City that
describes the violations of the Franchise Agreement and requests remedial action within
30 days of receipt of such notice. If TWTC has not attained full compliance at the end
of the 30 -day period following receipt of the violation notification, the City may declare
an immediate termination of all franchise rights and privileges, provided that full
compliance was reasonably possible within that 30 -day period.
B. Emergency Actions.
1. If any of TWTC's actions, or any failure by TWTC to act to correct a
situation caused by TWTC, is deemed by the City to create a threat to life or property,
financial harm, or cause a delay of the construction, repair or maintenance of the public
improvement, the City may order TWTC to immediately correct said threat, financial
harm, or delay or, at the City's discretion, the City may undertake measures to correct
said threat, financial harm or delay itself; provided that, when possible, the City shall
notify TVVTC and give TWTC an opportunity to correct within a reasonable specified
time, said threat, financial harm or delay before undertaking such corrective measures.
TWTC shall be liable for all reasonable costs, expenses, and damages attributed to the
correction of such an emergency situation as undertaken by the City to the extent that
such situation was caused by TWTC and shall further be liable for all reasonable costs,
expenses, and damages resulting to the City from such situation, and any
reimbursement of such costs to the City shall be made within 30 days of written notice
of the completion of such action or determination of damages by the City. The failure by
TVVTC to take appropriate action to correct a situation caused by TVVTC and identified
by the City as a threat to public or private safety or property, financial harm, or delay of
the construction, repair or maintenance of the public improvement shall be considered a
violation of the terms of this Franchise Agreement.
2. If during construction or maintenance of TVVTC's facilities any damage
occurs to an underground facility and the damage results in the release of natural gas or
other hazardous substance or potentially endangers life, health, or property, TWTC or
its contractor shall immediately call 911 or other local emergency response number.
C. Other Remedies. Nothing contained in this Franchise Agreement shall limit
the City's available remedies in the event of TWTC's failure to comply with the
provisions of this Franchise Agreement, to include but not limited to, the City's right to a
lawsuit for specific performance and /or damages.
D. Removal of System. In the event that this Franchise Agreement is terminated
as a result of violations of the terms of this Franchise Agreement, TWTC shall, at its
sole expense, promptly remove all system components and facilities, provided that the
City, at its sole option, may allow TWTC to abandon its facilities in place.

B. Such insurance shall specifically name as additional insured the City, its
officers, and employees, shall apply as primary insurance, shall stipulate that no
insurance affected by the City will be called on to contribute to a loss covered

C. If the City determines that circumstances warrant an increase in insurance
coverage and liability limits to adequately cover the risks of the City, the City may
require additional insurance to be acquired. The City shall provide written notice should
the City exercise its right to require additional insurance.
Section 8. Other Permits and Approvals. Nothing in this Agreement shall relieve
TWTC from any obligation to obtain approvals or necessary permits from applicable
federal, state, and City authorities for all activities in the Franchise Area.
Section 9. Transfer of Ownership.
A. The rights, privileges, benefits, title, or interest provided by this Franchise
Agreement shall not be sold, transferred, assigned, or otherwise encumbered, without
the prior written consent of the City, with such consent not being unreasonably withheld
or delayed. No such consent shall be required, however, for a transfer in trust, by other
hypothecation, or by assignment of any rights, title, or interest in TWTC's
telecommunications system in order to secure indebtedness. Approval shall not be
required for mortgaging purposes provided that the collateral pledged for any mortgage
shall not include the assets of this franchise. Approval shall not be required for any
transfer from TWTC to another person or entity controlling, controlled by, or under
common control with TWTC. TWTC may license fibers to other users without the
consent of the City provided that TWTC remains solely responsible for the terms and
conditions outlined in this Franchise Agreement.
B. In any transfer of this Franchise which requires the approval of the City, TWTC
shall show that the recipient of such transfer has the technical ability, financial
capability, and any other legal or general qualifications as reasonably determined by the
City to be necessary to ensure that the obligations and terms required under this
Franchise Agreement can be met to the full satisfaction of the City. The qualifications of
any transferee shall be determined by hearing before the City Council and the approval
to such transfer shall be granted by resolution of the City Council. Any actual and
reasonable administrative costs associated with a transfer of this Franchise which
W: Word Processing\Ordinances\tw telecom franchise agreement 1 -28 -14
Fl:bjs
Page 7 of 11
171
requires the approval of the City shall be reimbursed to the City within 30 days of such
transfer.
Section 10. Administrative Fees.
A. Pursuant to the Revised Code of Washington (RCW), the City is precluded from
imposing franchise fees for any "telephone business" as defined in RCW 82.16.010 or
"service provider" as defined in RCW 35.99.010, except that fees may be collected for
administrative expenses related to such franchise. TWTC does hereby warrant that its

administrative fee is due 30 days after franchise approval.

comprehensive plan review or inspection, TWTC shall reimburse City for amendments
and expenses associated with the project. TWTC shall pay such costs within 30 days of
receipt of bill from the City.
D. Failure by TWTC to make full payment of bills within the time specified shall be
considered sufficient grounds for the termination of all rights and privileges existing
under this ordinance utilizing the procedures specified in Section 6 of this ordinance.

Section 12. indemnification.
A. TWTC shall use reasonable and appropriate precautions to avoid damage to
persons or property in the construction, installation, repair, operation, and maintenance
of its structures and facilities within the Franchise Area. TWTC shall indemnify and hold
the City harmless from all claims, actions or damages, including reasonable attorney's
and expert witness fees, which may accrue to or be suffered by any person or persons,
corporation or property to the extent caused in part or in whole by any negligent act or
omission of TWTC, its officers, agents, servants or employees, carried on in the
furtherance of the rights, benefits, and privileges granted to TWTC by this Franchise. In
the event any claim or demand is presented to or filed with the City which gives rise to
TWTC's obligation pursuant to this section, the City shall within a reasonable time notify
TWTC thereof and TWTC shall have a right, at its election, to settle or compromise such
claim or demand. In the event any claim or action is commenced in which the City is
named a party, and which suit or action is based on a claim or demand which gives rise
to TWTC's obligation pursuant to this section, the City shall promptly notify TWTC
thereof, and TWTC shall, at its sole cost and expense, defend such suit or action by
attorneys of its own election. In defense of such suit or action, TWTC may, at its
election and at its sole cost and expense, settle or compromise such suit or action. This
section shall not be construed to require TWTC to:
1. protect and save the City harmless from any claims, actions, or damages;
2. settle or compromise any claim, demand, suit, or action;
3. appear in or defend any suit or action; or,
4. pay any judgment or reimburse the City's costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorney's fees), to the extent such claim arises out of the negligence or
intentional acts of the City, its employees, agents or independent contractors.

B. To the extent of any concurrent negligence between TWTC and the City,
TWTC's obligations under this paragraph shall only extend to its share of negligence or
fault. The City shall have the right at all times to participate through its own attorney in
any suit or action which arises out of any right, privilege, and authority granted by or
exercised pursuant to this Franchise when the City determines that such participation is
required to protect the interests of the City or the public. Such participation by the City
shall be at the City's sole cost and expense.
C. With respect to the performance of this Franchise and as to claims against the
City, its officers, agents and employees, TWTC expressly waives its immunity under
Title 51 of the Revised Code of Washington, the Industrial Insurance Act, for injuries to
its officers, agents and employees and agrees that the obligation to indemnify, defend
and hold harmless provided for in this paragraph extends to any claim brought by or on
behalf of TWTC's officers, agents or employees. This waiver is mutually negotiated by
the parties.
Section 13. Severability. If any section, sentence, clause or phrase of this
ordinance is held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction,
either party may deem the entire ordinance to be affected and thereby nullified.
However, in the event that a determination is made that a section, sentence, clause, or
phrase in this ordinance is invalid or unconstitutional, the parties may agree to treat the
portion declared invalid or unconstitutional as severable and maintain in force the
remaining provisions of this ordinance; provided that, if the City elects, without
agreement by TWTC, to enforce the remaining provisions of the ordinance, TWTC shall
have the option to terminate the Franchise Agreement.
Section 14. Reservation of Rights. The parties agree that this agreement is
intended to satisfy the requirements of all applicable laws, administrative guidelines,
rules, orders, and ordinances. Accordingly, any provision of this agreement or any local
ordinance which may conflict with or violate the law shall be invalid and unenforceable,
whether occurring before or after the execution of this agreement, it being the intention
of the parties to preserve their respective rights and remedies under the law, and that
the execution of this agreement does not constitute a waiver of any rights or obligations
by either party under the law.
Section 15. Police Powers. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to affect
the City's authority to exercise its police powers. TWTC shall not by this Franchise
Agreement obtain any vested rights to use any portion of the City right -of -way except for
the locations approved by the City and then only subject to the terms and conditions of
this Franchise Agreement. This Franchise Agreement and the permits issued
thereunder shall be governed by applicable City ordinances in effect at the time of
application for such permits.

Section 16. Future Rules, Regulations, and Specifications. TWTC
acknowledges that the City may develop rules, regulations, and specifications, including
a general ordinance or other regulations governing telecommunications operations in
the City. Such regulations, upon written notice to TWTC, shall thereafter govern
TWTC's activities hereunder; provided, however, that in no event shall regulations:
1. materially interfere with or adversely affect TWTC's rights pursuant to and
in accordance with this Franchise Agreement; or
2. be applied in a discriminatory manner as it pertains to TWTC and other
similar user of such facilities.
Section 17. Repealer. Ordinance No. 2231 is hereby repealed.
Section 18. Effective Date. This ordinance or a summary thereof shall be
published in the official newspaper of the City, and shall take effect and be in full force
and effect five (5) days after passage and publication as provided by law.

Fiber Optic System Description
TWTC currently has a fiber optic system along Interurban Avenue South. On
Interurban Avenue South, the system continues east to Boeing Access Road
and heads north on Airport Way South into Seattle.
TWTC purchased• telecommunications conduits from McLeod USA and
installed a fiber optics infrastructure. The fiber optic system is located on
East Marginal Way from Interurban Avenue South to South 133rd Street. It
continues east on South 133rd Street to Interurban Avenue South. McLeod
USA and TWTC fiber optic systems are in common manholes at each tie -in
point on Interurban Avenue South.
TWTC's fiber optic system also serves customers in the Commercial
Business District, starting from a vault on Interurban Avenue South and Family
Fun Center Way and heading to Southcenter Boulevard. On the north side,
attached to the bridge portion of Southcenter Boulevard, the system heads to
the Christianson Trail on the west side of the Duwamish River, then heads
south to the intersection of Tukwila Parkway and Christensen Trail. TWTC's
system continues westerly on the south side of Tukwila Parkway to the
intersection of Andover Park West and Tukwila Parkway. From the west side
of Andover Park West, the system heads south to Corporate Drive North. At
this location, the system heads back north across the Corporate Drive North
then west on the north side of Corporate Drive North, and terminates into a
telecommunications vault. Beginning at an existing communications vault
located on the south west corner of Corporate Drive North and Andover Park
West, TWTC's system proceeds east across Andover Park West to the
eastside at which point it turns and proceeds south along the eastside of
Andover Park West to where it enters King County Housing Authority located at
600 Andover Park West.

II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Ordinance: Franchise Agreement with tw telecom of washington Ilc (TWTC)
Staff is seeking Council approval of an ordinance that would renew a non - exclusive franchise to tw
telecom of washington Ilc (TWTC) for the continued operation of a fiber optic cable system in the
City rights -of -way for a five year term with an option for a one -year extension. TWTC will pay a
$5,000 administrative fee for reimbursement of costs associated with this agreement.
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO FEBRUARY 10, 2014 COMMITTEE OF THE
WHOLE.
B. Change Order: Sewer Repair at 6450 Southcenter Boulevard
Staff is seeking Council approval of a change order to Contract No. 13 -181 with Green River
Construction, Inc. in the amount of $104,462.03 for the Sewer Repair at 6450 Southcenter
Boulevard. This contract was originally approved in November 2013 to install a new manhole,
clear blockages and make any other necessary repairs to the sewer main near the intersection of
Southcenter Boulevard and 65th Avenue South. During initial excavation work, it was found that
two orange fiber optic ducts had broken through the sewer line at multiple locations, resulting in
an increase to the scope of the repair project as well as an extension of contract time for the
completion of landscaping and irrigation work. The City will file a claim against Comcast for the
damages to the sewer line and the costs incurred for the repair. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.
FORWARD TO FEBRUARY 10, 2014 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
C. Interlocal Agreement: Briscoe /Desimone Levee
Staff is seeking Council approval of an interlocal agreement (ILA) with the City of Kent for repairs
to the Briscoe /Desimone Levee. The Briscoe /Desimone Levee is located along the east side of
the Green River between South 180th Street in Tukwila and South 200th Street in Kent. The King
County Flood Control District assigned the City of Kent responsibility for the design and
construction of setback levees retained by walls on the landward side, and this ILA will allow the
City of Kent to perform work in the City of Tukwila. The agreement authorizes the work,
designates SEPA authority, grants condemnation authority and allows work to commence. Staff
from both cities participated in the drafting of the ILA, which requires Kent to meet Tukwila's
shoreline regulations. Construction is expected to begin in early 2015 and no funds from Tukwila
are required or anticipated at this time. Committee Chair Kruller mentioned a 2013 Council motion
relating to the design work and asked staff to confirm no discrepancies between the language
discussed then and the currently proposed ILA. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO
FEBRUARY 10, 2014 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
