A. Resolution: Unclaimed Property
Staff is seeking Council approval of the annual resolution that would declare the cancellation of
abandoned or unclaimed property that is owed to individuals or business owners in time for
reporting to the Washington State Department of Revenue Unclaimed Property Section by
November 1, 2015. This year's report includes the cancellation of outstanding General Fund
claims in the total amount of $919.92. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO
SEPTEMBER 8, 2015 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA.
B. General Revenue Sources
At the July 21, 2015 Committee meeting, staff presented information on various revenue options
and were asked to return with additional information on transportation benefit districts, details
on impacts to property owners, and rates for neighboring jurisdictions.
Councilmembers and staff reviewed the new version of the table of revenue options, expanded
to include the additional details, and a list of anticipated and unfunded capital expenses above
$3,000,000. Councilmembers asked clarifying questions and made the following suggestions:
• Clarify that the options are revenue generators above $500,000, as other options such as
zoned parking are not included.
• Expand the "Residential Streets and Sidewalks" row on the unfunded CIP projects list to
clarify that there are several funded projects currently in progress and to define the end goal
as well as projected costs.
Chair Hougardy asked for the Committee's input on next steps, as at a previous meeting they
had agreed that this information would be valuable for the entire Council in light of concurrent
priority discussions on fire services, facilities, and more. The Committee agreed that the Chair
will work with the Council Analyst to determine next steps for full Council review of the
document. They agreed that this will be valuable for both the public and the Council as
important priority and policy decisions are made. INFORMATION ONLY.

In May 2015 RLB Holdings Sports and Entertainment, LLC submitted an application for State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review for a potential multipurpose sports arena. As is
customary, the City is contracting with consultants to assist with technical analysis and project
management. Staff would like to amend some contracts to extend the project work through the
end of the year. Two of the contracts listed are within the Mayor's approval authority but are
included to provide context and demonstrate all of the current contracts. The line item for transit
analysis is included as a placeholder as the need for this is yet to be determined.
All of these contracts are revenue neutral for the City because the arena developer will
reimburse these costs via a separate agreement establishing payment installments to the City
totaling $350,000. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO AUGUST 24, 2015
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
