Subject: TRANSMITTAL OF 2019 COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT
I am pleased to transmit the City of Tukwila’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the
year ended December 31, 2019. This transmittal letter provides an overview of the report and the
financial condition of the City. State law requires that cities publish financial statements annually in
conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), which are audited in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards by the State Auditor’s Office, under the Revised Code of
Washington (RCW) 43.09.230.
The CAFR has several significant uses. First, it provides a general overview of the City’s finances to the
general public and taxpayers. Second, it is used as a reference by bond buyers and rating agencies to
evaluate the City’s fiscal stability and creditworthiness. Finally, the CAFR is a series of financial
statements that have been audited by the State Auditor’s Office and provides assurances that assets are
safeguarded, and funds are expended as they were legally appropriated in the adopted budget.
The Tukwila Finance Department prepared the report and accepts responsibility for the accuracy,
completeness, and fairness of presentation of the information included. The data is believed to be
accurate in all material respects, and it is believed that the data is presented in a manner that fairly sets
forth the results of operations and financial position of the City, as measured by the financial activity of
the City’s various funds. All disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain the maximum
understanding of the City’s financial activity have been included. The report has been prepared in
conformance with GAAP and in conformance with financial reporting standards issued by the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).
City management has developed and evaluated a comprehensive internal control structure that is
designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance regarding the safeguarding of assets
against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and the reliability of financial records for preparing
financial statements and maintaining accountability for assets. The concept of reasonable assurance is
based on the assumption that the cost of internal controls should not exceed the benefits expected to be
derived. As management, we attest that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is
complete and reliable in all material aspects.
3
As a recipient of federal, state and county financial assistance, the City is required to undergo an annual
single audit in conformity with the provisions of the Single Audit Act amendments of 1996 and U.S. Office
of Management and Budget Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit
Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). The audit is conducted by the State Auditor’s
Office in conjunction with the City’s annual independent audit. Information related to this single audit
includes the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards, findings, and recommendations, if applicable,
and auditor’s reports on internal control and compliance with applicable laws, regulations, contracts, and
agreements. The results of the City’s annual single audit for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019
provided no instances of material weaknesses in the internal control structure or significant violations of
applicable laws.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) immediately follows the State Auditor’s report and
provides a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements.
This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it.
PROFILE OF THE CITY
Incorporated in 1908, the City of Tukwila is in the heart of the Puget Sound region, 12 miles south of
downtown Seattle, 17 miles north of Tacoma, and one mile east of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
Tukwila has a small residential population of 20,347, making it the 72nd largest of 500 cities in the State
of Washington. However, including shoppers, visitors, and workers, the daytime population averages
over 150,000.
The City of Tukwila is a non-charter optional code City, operating under Section 35A of the Revised Code
of Washington. It has a strong Mayor form of government with a seven-member City Council elected by
the voters of the City to serve a four-year term. Councilmembers are elected at large rather than by district
and are responsible for establishing the general guidelines and policies for the City. The Mayor appoints
the City Administrator as the City’s chief administrative officer responsible for carrying out the policies
and direction set by the Mayor and City Council.
The City of Tukwila provides a full range of local government services. These services include police and
fire protection, emergency medical services, construction and maintenance of streets and traditional
municipal infrastructure, planning and zoning, park and recreational activities, and cultural events. In
addition, the City operates an equipment maintenance/rental fund. The City operates its own municipal
18-hole golf course and provides sewer, water, and surface water services. Tukwila has a municipal court
for traffic infractions, misdemeanors, and gross misdemeanors. Other jurisdictions provide jail services
to the City. Tukwila residents receive library services from the King County Library System.
Since the 2009-2010 biennium, the City has adopted a biennial budget in accordance with RCW 35A.34.
The Council is required to adopt a biennial budget prior to the first of each odd-numbered calendar year.
Budget reviews are conducted at mid-biennium and any changes for the second half of the biennium are
adopted by the City Council. The biennial budget serves as the foundation for the City of Tukwila’s
financial planning and control. The budget is adopted at the fund level and any increases or decreases
to a fund must be authorized by Council. Appropriation changes within a fund may be authorized by the
Mayor. The General Fund, two special revenue funds, one debt service fund, and eight capital project
funds are included in the biennially appropriated operating budget and have budget to actual statements
presented for 2019.
As demonstrated by the statements and schedules included in the financial section of this report, the city
continues to meet its responsibility for sound financial management.

LOCAL ECONOMY
Tukwila is a great place for business. With nearly 40,000 jobs, more people are employed in the City of
Tukwila than in 27 of the 39 counties in the State of Washington. Approximately one third of the jobs are
retail, one third are in manufacturing, and the remainder span everything from entertainment to real estate
with a heavy emphasis in aerospace.
The Boeing Company employs thousands of people in Tukwila. Further, Tukwila is home to the global
headquarters of BECU (the fourth largest credit union in the United States), Continental Mills, LeoStella
Satelites, Odin Brewing Company, Red Dot Corporation, Sabey Corporation, Sahale Snacks, and Seattle
Chocolates. Tukwila is also home to hundreds of small businesses, many of which are owned by
members of the city’s diverse international community. The strong local economy is evident in the low
unemployment rate of 3.1%, down significantly from a 10-year high of 11.7% in 2010.
Tukwila enjoys a strong position in the Puget Sound region as well as the state of Washington. Tukwila’s
location is at the crossroads of the State’s most significant freeway network (the I-5 and I-405
interchange) and includes all modes of public transportation. Tukwila’s transit stations include the
Sounder commuter train, Sound Transit’s light rail, and the Tukwila Transit Center that all reinforce the
well-established advantages of Tukwila as an employment and retail hub. These major transportation
systems, the strategic access to Seattle, Tacoma, Sea-Tac Airport, and the population base of the south
Puget Sound region provide a natural setting for commercial and industrial activity.
Tukwila is a retail powerhouse with one of the largest local retail sales tax bases in the state of
Washington. Anchored by Westfield Southcenter, which is the largest mall in the Pacific Northwest,
Tukwila generated almost $2.4 billion dollars in taxable retail sales in 2019. The total retail sales tax
revenue amounted to $20.7 million in 2019, representing an increase of 0.4% from the $20.6 million
collected in the prior year.
LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING
The city uses its six-year financial planning model and Capital Improvement Program (CIP) as long-term
financial planning tools. These tools, along with regular review and revisions to the financial policies,
ensure the City incorporates current economic conditions and financial projections into its long-range
financial plans. In mid-2015, the City revised its financial reserve policy to increase the General Fund
reserve level from 10% to 18% and added a one-time 10% revenue reserve in the Contingency Fund.
These changes will ensure the City’s policies are in alignment with the Government Finance Officers
Association’s “Best Practices” and provide additional protection from future downturns in the economy.
The City’s diversified revenue base is supported by an assessed valuation of $7.35 billion, which is an
increase of 10.0 from 2018, allowing the City to pursue a long-term capital investment program. The
City’s 2019-2024 Capital Improvement Program anticipates approximately $224 million in general
government capital projects, with only $16.9 million of that paid by City funding sources. These
improvements are vital to the economic health of the City which must continue to efficiently move
employees, shoppers, and goods into and out of the area.
5
MAJOR INITIATIVES
The City made significant investments of time and financial resources into key public projects in 2019.
These projects represent Council’s commitment to meeting their five Strategic Goals and Objectives:
• A community of inviting neighborhoods and vibrant business districts
• A solid foundation for all Tukwila residents
• A diverse and regionally competitive economy
• A high-performing and effective organization, and
• A positive community identity and image
The City of Tukwila completed the first phases of construction of 42nd Avenue South, which includes new
street improvements, drainage, curbs, gutters, and driveway adjustments. It also includes new sidewalks
and bike facilities to this important residential corridor, as well as undergrounding various utility wires
along 42nd Avenue South The project included building a new culvert at Gilliam Creek that makes the
stream crossing fish passable and improves roadway safety. The City issued bonds to cover the General
Fund portion of the project, the bulk of the financing. Surface Water fees collected by the City paid for
the culvert replacement portion, and Seattle City Light and other communication utilities will cover a
portion of the costs associated with undergrounding the utilities.
Construction was also substantially completed on 53rd Avenue South, from South 137th Street to South
144th Street, to improve pedestrian and vehicle safety, drainage, and neighborhood revitalization. The
project includes residential street improvements such as curb, gutter, sidewalk, utility undergrounding,
and illumination. This project funded by bonds, a state Transportation Improvement Board grant, and
support from city utility funds.
The City started design of the Boeing Access Road over Airport Way Bridge Seismic Retrofit Project with
funding from the federal Bridge Replacement Advisory Committee (BRAC) with 86.5% design funding.
Construction is anticipated in 2020 with 100% BRAC construction funding.
The Cit y of Tukwila has an on-going extensive rehabilitation program in the Sewer Fund for the Southcenter
Commercial Business District. As the sewer mains are reaching their 50-year life span, the City has
budgeted over $1 million for 3 years to reline the asbestos concrete pipes in the Southcenter area. The
relining of the sewer pipes will extend the life span approximately 50 years and reinforce the strength with
little impact to the roadway and minimal excavation.
The City continued its partnership with Tukwila Village Development Associates (TVDA) to develop six
acres of City-owned land on Tukwila International Boulevard at South 144th Street, known as Tukwila
Village. In 2018 TVDA completed construction on the third mixed-use apartment buildings and continued
construction on the fourth building, which is scheduled to open in 2021. When fully open, the development
will include 398 senior apartments and 4 live/work units, plus 13,000 square feet of office and 16,000
square feet of retail in addition to the plaza and library. When completed, the entire Tukwila Village project
costs will be over $120 million.
The Public Safety Plan continues to be a primary focus for the City, with voters approving $77 million in
bonds in 2016 to finance a new Justice Center, fire stations, and replacement fire equipment and
apparatus. The Plan also includes a new consolidated Public Works facility. Two of the projects – the
Justice Center and Fire Station 51 – began construction.

AWARDS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) awarded a
Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Tukwila for its
comprehensive annual financial report for the fiscal year that ended December 31, 2018. This was the
32nd consecutive year that Tukwila has achieved this prestigious award. In order to be awarded a
Certificate of Achievement, a government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized
comprehensive annual financial report. This report must satisfy both generally accepted accounting
principles and applicable legal requirements.
A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current
comprehensive annual financial report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program’s
requirements and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate.
Preparation of this report could not have been accomplished without the professional, efficient, and
dedicated services of the entire staff of the Finance Department and the cooperation of other City
departments. Their long hours of assistance with the preparation and review of this report are greatly
appreciated. The Mayor, City Administrator and City Council are to be complimented for their
encouragement, interest, and support in conducting the financial operations of the City in a fiscally sound
and progressive manner. The efficient assistance of examiners from the Office of the State Auditor is
also appreciated. Staff who had a direct role in preparing Tukwila’s 2018 Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report take great pride in their work, and the entire team who worked on this project is to be
commended.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON FINANCIA L STATEMENTS
October 28, 2020
Mayor and City Council
City of Tukwila
Tukwila, Washington
REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type
activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Tukwila, as of
and for the year ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes to the financial statements, which
collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and
the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the City’s
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are
12
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness
of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating
the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinions.
Opinion s
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund
and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Tukwila, as of December 31, 2019, and the
respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Matters of Emphasis
As discussed in Note 14 to the financial statements, in February 2020, a state of emergency was declared
which could have a negative financial effect on the City. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this
matter.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s
discussion and analysis and required supplementary information listed in the table of contents be
presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic
financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to
be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate
operational, economic or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required
supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information
and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic
financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements.
We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited
procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
13
Supplementary and Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the City’s basic financial statements as a whole. The combining financial statements and
schedules are presented for the purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
For the Year Ended December 31, 2019
The management discussion and analysis section of the City of Tukwila’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
provides an overview of the City’s financial activities for the year ended December 31, 2019. The intent of this
discussion and analysis is to look at the City’s financial performance as a whole. Readers should also review the
transmittal letter, and the basic financial statements to enhance their understanding of the City’s financial
performance.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
•As of December 31, 2019, the City of Tukwila’s total assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded
liabilities and deferred inflows of resources by $328.6 million. Of this amount, $39.9 million represents
unrestricted net position, which may be used to meet the government’s ongoing obligations to citizens and
creditors.
•The City of Tukwila’s total net position increased $9.5 million, or 3.0%. Governmental activities increased
$6.7 million partially due to continued growth in property taxes to cover voted debt principal and interest.
Business-type activities increased $2.8 million due in part to rate increases in two utility funds.
•At the close of the current fiscal year, the City of Tukwila’s governmental funds reported combined fund
balances of $86.5 million, an increase of $26.5 million (33.1%). Approximately 22.2% ($19.2 million) of the
fund balance is available for spending at the City’s discretion (unassigned fund balance).
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the City of Tukwila’s basic financial
statements. The City’s basic financial statements are presented in three parts:
1.Government-wide financial statements
2.Fund financial statements
3.Notes to the financial statements
This report also includes supplementary information intended to furnish additional detail to support the basic
financial statements.
Government-wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements provide both long-term and short-term information about the City’s
overall financial status, in a manner similar to private-sector business.
The Statement of Net Position presents financial information on all the City’s Tukwila’s assets, liabilities, and
deferred inflows/outflows of resources, with the difference reported as net position. Over time, increases or
decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City of Tukwila is
improving or deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities presents information designed to show how the City’s net position changed during the
year. The statement distinguishes revenue generated by specific functions from revenue provided by taxes and
other sources not related to a specific function. The revenue generated by the specific functions (charges for
services, grants, and contributions) is compared to the expenses for those functions to show the degree to which
each function supports itself or relies on taxes and other general funding sources for support. All activity on this
statement is reported on the accrual basis of accounting, requiring that revenues are reporte d when they are earned
and expenses are reported when they are incurred, regardless of when cash is received or disbursed. Items such
as (but not limited to) uncollected taxes, unpaid vendor invoices for goods or services received during the year, and
earned but unused vacation leave are included in the statement of activities as revenue and expenses even though
no cash has changed hands.
15
Both the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City of Tukwila that are principally
supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended
to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business-type activities). The
governmental activities of the City of Tukwila include general government (finance, executive, legal, court, and
human resources), public safety (police and fire), physical environment, economic environment, transportation,
mental/physical health, and culture and recreation. The City’s business-type activities include a water, sewer,
and surface water utilities, and a municipal golf course. Governmental activities are primarily supported by taxes,
charges for services, and grants. Business-type activities are primarily self-supporting through user fees and
charges.
Fund Financial Statements
The annual financial report includes fund financial statements in addition to the government -wide financial
statements. A fund is a fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts used to account for specific
activities or meet certain objectives. The City of Tukwila Funds are often set up in accordance with special
regulations, restrictions or limitations. The City of Tukwila, like other state and lo cal governments, uses fund
accounting to ensure and show compliance with finance -related legal requirements. The City’s funds are divided
into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions that are reported as governmental
activities in the government-wide financial statements. The governmental fund statements focus on the near-term
inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances o f spendable resources available at the end
of the year. The information in the governmental fund statements can be used to evaluate the City’s near -term
financing requirements and immediate fiscal health. Comparing the governmental fund statements with the
government-wide statements can help the reader better understand the long-term impact of the City’s current year
financing decisions.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is
useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for
governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand
the long-term impact of the government’s near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet
and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a
reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City maintains thirteen individual governmental funds. Of these, five are considered major (the general fund,
the arterial street fund, the local improvement district #33 fund, city facilities and the public safety plan fund) and
are presented separately in the governmental funds’ Balance Sheet and the governmental funds’ Statement of
Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances. The remaining governmental funds are combined into a
single column labeled “Other Governmental Funds.” Individual fund data for each of these non-major governmental
funds is presented in the combining and individual fund statements and schedules section of this report.
The City maintains budgetary control over its operating fund s through the adoption of a biennial budget. Budgets
are adopted at the fund level according to state law. A budgetary comparison schedule is presented for the general
fund in the Required Supplemental Information section of the report. Other budgetary comparison schedules are
included following the other governmental funds’ combining statements in this report.
Proprietary funds are used by governments to account for their business-type activities and use the same basis
of accounting as utilized in private industry. Business-type activities provide specific goods or services to a group
of customers that are paid for by fees charged to those customers. There is a direct relationship between the fees
paid and the services rendered.
The City has two types of proprietary funds: enterprise funds and internal service funds. Enterprise funds are used
to account for goods and services provided to citizens, while internal service funds are used to account for goods
and services provided internally to various City departments. The same basis of accounting is used for proprietary
funds in both the government-wide and individual fund statements.
16
Enterprise funds report the same functions presented as business -type activities in the government-wide
statements, but in greater detail. The City’s enterprise fund statements provide information on the City’s three
utilities (water, sanitary sewer, surface water) as well as the City-owned golf course.
Internal service funds are an essential accounting tool used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the
City’s various functions. The City uses internal service funds to account for its fleet of vehicles, and its insurance
premiums for active employees and LEOFF 1 retirees. Internal service fund activities are predominantly
governmental and have been included in the governmental activities columns of the government -wide statements.
Individual fund data for the internal service funds is provided in the form of combining statements in the combining
and individual fund statements and schedules section of this report.
Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside of the government.
Fiduciary funds are not reported in the government-wide financial statements because the resources of those funds
are not available to support the City of Tukwila’s own programs. The accounting used for fiduciary funds is much
like that used for proprietary funds.
The City maintains two different types of fiduciary funds. The Firemen’s Pension Trust Fund is used to report
resources held in trust for retirees and beneficiaries covered by the Firemen’s Pension plan. The agency fund
reports resources held by Tukwila in a custodial capacity for individuals, private organizations, and other
governments.
Notes to the Financial Statements
The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the
government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found immediately
following the fund financial statements.
Other Information
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain required
supplementary information including a budget and actual schedule for the City’s general fund and schedules of
progress in funding its obligation to provide pension and OPEB benefits to its former employees. Additional pension
benefit information is found in Note 8.
The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with nonmajor governmental funds and internal service
funds are presented immediately following the required supplementary information on pensions and OPEB.
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
As noted earlier, net position over time, may serve as a useful indicator of a government’s financial position. In the
case of the City of Tukwila, assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows of
resources by over $328 million at the close of the most recent fiscal year. Total net position increased by $9.5
million (3.0%) when compared to 2018.
17
By far, the largest portion of the City’s net position ($270.0 million or 81.9%) reflects its investment in
capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, machinery, equipment, vehicles, and infrastructure), less any related
outstanding debt that was used to acquire those assets. The City uses these capital assets to provide a
variety of services to citizens. Accordingly, these assets are not available for future spending. Although
investment in capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources used to
repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used
to liquidate these liabilities.
An additional portion of the City’s net position ($5.8 million or 1.8%) represents resources that are
subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The business-type activities do not report any
restrictions, so the entire $5.8 million is restricted in governmental activities funds. The majority is related to
tourism, net pension assets, and ongoing debt obligations. The remaining net position
balance ($54.0 million, or 16.3%) is unrestricted and may be used to meet the City’s ongoing
obligations to its citizens and creditors.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City of Tukwila continued to report positive balances
in all categories of net position. The City’s overall net position increased $10.7 million (3.4%) from the
prior fiscal year. The reasons for this overall increase are discussed in the following sections for
governmental activities and business-type activities.

Governmental Activities
During the current fiscal year, net position for governmental activities increased $6.7 million (2.9%) from
the prior fiscal year for an ending balance of $238.1 million. The primary reasons for this increase are:
•Property taxes increased about $381thousand (2.1%) from the prior year. In 2016, voters
approved an excess property tax levy to be used for public safety purposes. This was the second year
the City received the proceeds from that levy.
•Retail sales and use taxes were stable at $20.6 million increasing 0.4% while revenue from excise
taxes increased $245 thousand dollars (4.8%).
•Miscellaneous general revenues increased $3 million primarily due to the elimination of a lease
payable due to the Proprietary Funds.

Business-Type Activities
For the City of Tukwila’s business-type activities, the results for the current fiscal year were positive in that overall
net position increased by $2.8 million (3.2%) to reach an ending balance of $90.5 million. The overall growth is
attributable to the following factors:
•In the Sewer Utility, total net position increased $2.2 million (10.6%) primarily due to a 2.5% rate increase
for commercial sewer services.
•In the Surface Water Utility, operating revenues increased $400 thousand (6.3%) due to a 5.0% rate
increase.
20
• Operating income in the enterprise funds was $4.7 million, an increase of $1.2 million (3.3%) from 2018.
Increase in operating revenue in 2019 was $888,556 thousand accompanied by a decrease in overall operating
expenses of $279,053 thousand which was primarily attributable to the Sewer Utility.
• Of the $90.5 million total net position, $22.1 million (24.4%) is unrestricted and each utility can utilize their
portion for any purpose. This operating balance is necessary for future planned infrastructure replacements
and repairs.
The following chart shows the relative net position balances for each business-type fund:
BUSINESS-TYPE NET POSITION - BY FUND
The majority of net position in the City’s enterprise funds relate to capital asset infrastructure, such as water and
sewer mains, and the golf course land. As such, most of the net position is not available to support the ongoing
expenses of the funds. The following chart contrasts the total net position to the spendable portion of net position

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
The purpose of the City’s governmental funds is to report on near-term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable
resources. This information helps determine the City’s financial requirements in the near future. Specifically,
unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for discretionary
use as they represent the portion of fund balance which has not yet been limited to use for a particular purpose by
either an external party, the City of Tukwila itself, or a group or individual that has been delegated authority to assign
resources for use for a particular purpose.
As of December 31, 2019, the City’s governmental funds had combined fund balances of $86.5 million, an increase
of $21.6 million (33.2%). The increase is primarily due to a $26 million increase in restricted cash resulting from
$60.6 million of bond proceeds related to the Public Safety Plan and Public Works Shops. This increase is partially
offset by a $5.9 million increase in accounts payable mostly related to the Public Safety Plan.
The change in fund balance for governmental funds compared to 2018 is as follows:
• General Fund $(477,850)
• Arterial Street Fund (789,571)
• Local Improvement District #33 87,147
• Public Safety Plan 29,071,775
• City Facilities (7,118,446)
• Other Governmental Funds 798,732
The general fund is the primary operating fund of the City. All receipts and payments of ordinary City operations
are processed through this fund unless they are required to be accounted for in another. At the end of 2019, the
general fund had a fund balance of $20.1 million, with $19.2 million (95.5%) of the balance classified as unassigned
and available to meet the City’s general obligations. Unassigned fund balance decreased from $19.7 million in 2018
to $19.2 million in 2019 due to a $2 million increase in transfers from the General Fund to other funds.
The arterial street fund decrease in fund balance is related to the cancellation of the Strander project. Due to the
cancellation, the City must repay $622 thousand in both 2019 and 2020 for a total repayment of approximately $1.2
million.
The city facilities fund balance decreased due to $12.6. million of capital outlays partially offset by $5.0 million of
general obligation bond proceeds.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF PROPRIETARY FUNDS
The City’s proprietary funds provide the same type of information as found in the government -wide financial
statements, but in greater detail. Factors affecting the finances of the City’s proprietary funds have already been
addressed in the discussion of the City’s business-type activities.
Unrestricted net position in business-type activities ended 2019 at $22.1 million, an increase of almost $3.2 million
(16.4%) from 2018.
GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
The City budgets biennially by adopting a budget at the end of the preceding biennium, and then making
adjustments as necessary via budget amendments throughout the next two years. Following is a summary of
significant budget amendments that occurred in 2019:
•Increased funding for the Fire Department to cover:
o Overtime costs - $213,000
o Academy recruits - $160,000
o Retirements and separation pay - $100,000
o February 2019 snowstorm costs - $38,400
o Andover Park East propane leak costs - $11,500
•Adjusted budgeted beginning fund balances of various funds to match actual beginning fund balances.
•Additional grant revenue and expenditures of approximately $108,000 were appropriated for various grant-
funded recreation activities.
•Additional revenue and expenditures of approximately $270,000 for the Community Development department
as development activity was greater than anticipated.
•Additional revenue and expenditures for the Streets Maintenance department to reflect approximately $317,000
of expenditures and reimbursements related to the East Marginal Way Power Pole incident and Andover Park
East propane leak.
•Removal of grants and expenditures for Strander project that was cancelled,
•Providing budget for the unanticipated events that are not revenue-backed (snow event), and
Reasons for the significant variances in the general fund between the final budget and actual results include:
Tax Revenue was $1.3 million under budget as telephone tax revenue continues a downward trend, while
gambling tax and property tax revenue was less than anticipated.
•Expenditures were below budget by $1.8 million, or 3%. Specific examples include:
o $1.2 million in salary and benefits savings, with Police accounting for almost half of the budget
savings
o $391 thousand in professional services
o $216 thousand in rentals and leases

ECONOMIC FACTORS AND THE UPCOMING BIENNIAL BUDGET
Tukwila’s economy has been significantly impacted by the COVID -19 pandemic which has impacted nearly every
other community in the nation. Many businesses are currently closed under the State’s Stay Home, Stay Healthy
order. It is anticipated that businesses will be allowed to reopen by Fall of 2020. As the State allows businesses to
reopen, they will need to follow the guidance for hygiene and physical distancing which could limit their sales
revenue. Even once businesses reopen, a key question is how quickly customers will feel comfortable returning.
At this time, we do not know with certainty how quickly businesses will recover from the pandemic. Normally,
Tukwila’s economy moves with the economic cycles of the surrounding region. Prior to the pandemic, the region’s
economy was very strong. Compared to most communities in the Puget Sound region, Tukwila’s tax revenue is
more dependent on business based on social gatherings such as restaurants, attractions, retail, and gambling which
means the City’s economy may slightly lag the rest of the region.
Preparation of the 2021-2022 biennial budget will occur during the current COVID-19 pandemic. The City is
projecting a $12 million revenue gap in 2020 resulting from the pandemic and projects a $6 million revenue gap in
2021. Key financial decisions regarding cost reductions to address the revenue gaps will be a primary focus of the
budget process. The City is committed to monitor and control its expenses in order to live within the City’s means.

STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES, AND CHANGES IN FUND BALANCES
GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2019
CITY OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON
33
Net change in fund balances per the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances 21,571,787$
Amount reported as change in net position in the Statement of Activities are different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement
of activities the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and
reported as depreciation expense. In the current period, these amounts are:
Capital Outlay 51,397,863
Capital asset disposal (2,858,578)
Depreciation Expense (excludes internal service fund depreciation which is reflected in internal service fund change in net
position listed below)(8,378,885)
Excess of Capital Outlay Over Depreciation Expense 40,160,399
The net effect of various transactions involving the City's pension plans are:
Reduction in pension liability and expense 2,218,250
Increase in pension contribution revenue 572,007
Reduction in the Fireman's Pension liability and expense 152,616 2,942,873
The City has equity interests in two joint ventures. The equity interests for the provision of governmental 1,668,847
services are not current financial resources and therefore are not reported in the funds.
Repayment of long-term debt is reported as an expenditure in governmental funds, but the repayment
reduces long-term liabilities in the Statement of Net Position. In the current year, these amounts
consist of:
Bond principal retirement 4,238,521
Amortization expense 391,881 4,630,402
Bond proceeds provide current financial resources to governmental funds, but issuing debt increases
long-term liabilities in the statement of net position.
General Obligation Bonds issued (6,013,636)
General Obligation Bonds issued (60,600,000)
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain activities to individual funds.
The change in net position of internal service funds is reported with governmental activities.(614,009)
Because some revenues will not be collected for several months after the City's fiscal year ends,
they are not considered "available" revenues in the government funds. Changes this year are for:
Miscellaneous receivables (682,880)
Developer agreements (938,559)
Property taxes (73,520)
Special assessment (515,266)(2,210,225)
Some expenses reported in the Statement of Activities do not require the use of current
financial resources and therefore are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds.
These activities consist of:
Increase in accrued interest 7,430
Amortization of deferred outflow on bond refunding (63,770)
Increase in compensated absences 79,183
Long-term leases 3,119,513
Change in OPEB Liability 2,068,542
Total additional expense (increase) decrease 5,210,898
Change In Net Position On The Statement Of Activities 6,747,336$

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Year Ended December 31, 2019
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting and reporting policies of the City of Tukwila conform to generally accepted accounting principles as
applied to governmental units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard
setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The City’s significant
accounting policies are described in this note.
A.The Reporting Entity
The City of Tukwila was incorporated on June 23,1908 and operates under the laws of the State of Washington
applicable to a non-charter optional code city with a Mayor/Council form of government. Tukwila is served by a
Mayor and seven councilmembers, all elected at large to four-year terms. The City provides what are considered
general government services including public safety, streets, parks, planning and zoning, permits and inspection,
general administrative, water services, sanitary sewer collection, and storm drainage.
The City of Tukwila has no component units (either blended or discretely presented) included in these statements.
B. Basis of Presentation
The City’s basic financial statements consist of government-wide statements, including a statement of net position
and a statement of activities, and fund financial statements which provide a more detailed level of financial
information.
Government-wide Financial Statements
The statement of net position and the statement of activities report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities
of the City. The activity of the internal service funds is eliminated to avoid “doubling up” revenues and expenses.
The statements distinguish between governmental activities and business-type activities.
The statement of net position presents the financial condition of the governmental and business-type activities of
the City at year-end. The statement of activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program
activity of the City. Direct expenses are those specifically associated with a servic e, program, or department and
therefore clearly identifiable to a particular function. Indirect costs are included in the program expense reported for
individual functions and activities.
The statement of activities reports the expenses of a given function offset by program revenues directly connected
with the functional program. A function is an assembly of similar activities and may include portions of a fund or
summarize more than one fund to capture the expenses and program revenues associated with a distinct functional
activity. Program revenues include charges paid by the recipient of the goods or services offered by the program,
grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular program
and interest earned on grants that is required to be used to support a particular program.
For identifying which function program revenue pertains, the determining factor for charges for services is which
function generates the revenue. For grants and contributions, the determining factor is to which functions the
revenues are restricted.
41
Revenues which are not classified as program revenues are presented as general revenues of the City, with certain
limited exceptions. The comparison of direct expenses with program revenues identifies the extent to which each
business segment or governmental function is self-financing or draws from the general revenues of the City.
Fund Financial Statements
During the year, the City segregates transactions related to certain City functions or activities in separate funds in
order to aid financial management and to demonstrate legal compliance. Fund financial statements are designed
to present financial information of the City at this more detailed level. The focus of governmental and enterprise
fund financial statements is on major funds. Each major fund is presented in a separate column. Non -major funds
are aggregated and presented in a s ingle column. Internal service funds are combined, and the totals are presented
in a single column on the face of the proprietary fund statements. Fiduciary funds are reported by type. While
fiduciary funds are excluded from the government-wide statements, they are included in the fund financial
statements.
C. Fund Accounting
The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds ; each of which is considered a separate accounting
entity. Each fund is accounted for with a separate set of self-balancing accounts that are comprised of assets,
deferred outflow of resources, liabilities, deferred inflow of resources, fund equity, revenues and expenditures or
expenses, as appropriate. The City’s resources are allocated to - and accounted for - in individual funds according
to the purpose for which they are spent and how they are controlled. There are three categories of funds:
governmental, proprietary and fiduciary.
Governmental Funds
All governmental funds are accounted for on a “flow of current financial resources” measurement focus. Their
reported fund balance is considered a measure of “available spendable resources.” Governmental fund operating
statements focus on measuring changes in current financial position, rather than net income; they present increases
(revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in fund balance.
The following are the City’s major governmental funds:
• The general fund accounts for all the City’s financial resources except those r equired by statute or generally
accepted accounting principles to be accounted for in another fund. As is the case with most municipalities,
the general fund is the largest and most important accounting entity of the City. The general fund receives
the bulk of its revenues from local taxes, followed by State shared revenues, service charges, and other
income.
• The Arterial Street fund was established in accordance with RCW 82.36.020 for the administration of the
State-levied motor vehicle half-cent gasoline tax distributed to Tukwila and is used primarily to account for
capital arterial street projects. In addition to the State-levied motor vehicle gasoline tax, other revenue
includes state and federal grants, impact fees, and transfers in from the general fund.
• The Local Improvement District (LID) #33 accounts for assessments related to the LID and provides payment
to the Fiscal Agent for principal and interest on bonds issued in November 2013.
• The Public Safety Plan fund was established in 2016 after voters approved a $77.4 million bond measure to
construct a justice center, rebuild 3 fire stations, and provide for life-cycle replacement of fire department
apparatus and equipment.
• The City Facilities fund was established in 2016 to account for costs of building a new public works shop
facility. The public works shop facility is part of the City’s public safety plan but is not include d in the voter-
approved bonds.
42
The other governmental funds of the City, account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources that are segregated
to ensure that expenditures are made exclusively for qualified purposes .
Proprietary Funds
The City of Tukwila maintains two different types of proprietary funds. Enterprise funds are used to report the same
functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. Proprietary funds are
accounted for on a “flow of economic resources” measurement focus. This means all assets and all liabilities
(whether current or noncurrent) associated with their activity are included on their balance sheets. Proprietary fund
operating statements present increases (revenues and gains) and de creases (expenses and losses) in net position.
Proprietary funds measurement focus is based upon determination of net income, financial position, and cash flows.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-operating items. Operating revenues and
expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a
proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the City’s enterprise and internal
service funds are charges to the City’s internal and external customers for sales and services. Operating expenses
for the enterprise funds and internal service funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative expenses,
and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non -
operating revenues and expenses.
Restricted assets shown in the government-wide financial statements and the proprietary funds balance sheet
include monies reserved for payment of revenue bond debt, and deposits held for utility and golf course customer
accounts. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the City’s policy to use
restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed.
The City’s enterprise funds account for utility and golf course operations, which are self-supported through user
charges. The enterprise activities are financed and operated like a private business enterprise, which requires
periodic determination of revenues earned, expenses incurred, and net income for capital maintenance, public
policy, management control and accountability. The City’s major enterprise funds are as follows:
• Water Utility Fund accounts for operations and capital improvements to provide water services to the City.
• Sewer Utility Fund accounts for operations and capital improvements to provide sanitar y sewer services to
the City.
• Foster Golf Course Fund is used to account for the operation, maintenance, and improvements of the
municipal golf course facility.
• Surface Water Utility Fund accounts for the operations and capital improvements for the City’s storm drainage
and surface water management function.
The City has three internal service funds. The Equipment Rental Fund is used to account for the costs of maintaining
and replacing all City vehicles and auxiliary equipment. All equipment costs, incl uding depreciation, are factors in
calculating the rates charged to each user department. The Insurance and Insura nce – LEOFF I Funds are used to
account for the costs of the City’s self-insured medical plan for active employees and retired LEOFF I employees
respectively. Medical and dental costs for covered employees are charged to the respective user departments. Al l
premiums, medical and dental costs and ancillary charges are included.
43
Fiduciary Funds
Fiduciary funds account for assets held by the City in a trustee capacity or as a custodian for individuals, private
organizations, other governments, and other funds. The City has two fiduciary funds, Firemen’s Pension Trust Fund
and a Custodial Fund. The Firefighters’ Pension Fund accounts for a single-employer defined benefit system
established under Washington State law to provide pension benefits for eligible firefighters. Although this pension
plan has subsequently been replaced by the Washington S tate Law Enforcement Officers’ and Fire Fighters’
Pension System, firefighters hired prior to March 1, 1970 continue to be eligible for benefits under the provisions of
the earlier law. Revenues received by the fund include proceeds of a state-imposed tax on fire insurance premiums.
The custodial fund is used to account for assets that the City holds on behalf of others in a custodial capacity.
Fiduciary funds are excluded from the government-wide financial statements.
The Statement of Changes in Fiduciary Net Position reports a change in accounting principle, an increase to
Beginning Net Position of $8,526, in order to restate the beginning accounts payable balance as part of the
implementation of GASB Statement 84 Fiduciary Activities. Custodial Funds now report fiduciary activity under
GASB 84 where as prior guidance did not require a Statement of Changes in Fiduciary Net Position. The change
in principle increases the transparency in regard to a government’s fiduciary activity. GASB 84 was developed to
provide consistency and comparability across governmental units as prior guidance did not sufficiently outline the
criteria for determining whether an activity is a fiduciary activity. The change affects only the custodial funds and
has no affect on the government-wide statements.
D. Measurement Focus
Government-wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements are prepared using the economic resources measurement focus. All
assets, deferred outflow of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflow of resources associated with the operation of
the City are included on the Statement of Net Position.
Fund Financial Statements
All governmental funds are accounted for using a flow of current financial resources measurement focus. With this
measurement focus, only current assets, current liabilities, and deferred inflow of resources generally are included
on the balance sheet. The statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances reports on the
sources (i.e., revenues and other financing sources) and uses (i.e., expenditures and other financing uses) of
current financial resources. This approach differs from the manner in which the government activities of the
government-wide financial statements are prepared. Governmental fund financial statements therefore include a
reconciliation with brief explanations to better identify the relationship between the government -wide statements
and statements for governmental funds.
Like the government-wide statements, all proprietary and internal service fund types are accounted for on a flow of
economic resources measurement focus. All assets and all liabilities associated with the operation of these funds
are included on the statement of net position. The statement of changes in activities presents increases (i.e.,
revenues) and decreases (i.e., expenses) in net total position. The statement of cash flows provides information
about how the City finances and meets the cash flow needs of its proprietary activities.
Fiduciary funds are reported using the economic resources measurement focus.
E. Basis of Accounting
Basis of accounting refers to the recognition of revenues and expenditures or expenses in the accounts and
reporting them in the financial statements. Government-wide financial statements are prepared using the accrual
basis of accounting. Governmental funds use the modified accrual basis of accounting. Proprietary and fiduciary
funds use the accrual basis of accounting.
44
Revenues – Exchange and Non-Exchange Transactions
Revenue resulting from exchange transactions, in which each party gives and receives essentially equal value, i s
recorded on the accrual basis when the exchange takes place. The modified accrual basis of accounting is followed
in all governmental funds of the City. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when
susceptible to accrual, i.e., both measurable and available. “Measurable” means the amount of the transaction can
be determined and “available” means collectible within t he current period or soon enough thereafter to pay current
liabilities. For the City, available means expected to be received within sixty (60) days of year-end. The primary
accrued revenues that meet these criteria are sales, real estate, and utility taxes.
Non-exchange transactions, in which the City receives value without directly giving equal value in return, i nclude
property taxes, sales and use taxes, admission taxes, gambling taxes, utility taxes, hotel/motel taxes, grants,
entitlements, and donations. These revenues are on an accrual basis. On the accrual basis, the revenue is
recognized in the period in which the income is earned. Revenue from property taxes is recognized in the fiscal
year for which the taxes are levied. (See Note 3 on receivables).
Other Revenue Sources
Revenue sources which are not considered to meet the measurable and available criteri a for revenue recognition
include licenses and permits, fines and forfeitures, and other miscellaneous revenues since they are generally not
measurable until received.
Under the modified accrual basis, expenditures are recorded when the fund liability is incurred, except for principal
and interest on general long-term debt and vacation and sick pay which are recorded when paid.
As a general rule the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements
via the process of consolidation. Internal service fund and similar internal activity has also been eliminated from the
government-wide statement of activities, so expenses are not reported twice. Exceptions to this general rule are
payments for interfund services provided and used, such as between the City’s water, sewer, and surface water
functions and various other functions of the City, which are not eliminated in the process of consolidation.
Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions
concerned. Amounts reported on the government-wide statements as program revenues include, charges to
customers or applicants for goods, operating grants and contributions, and capital grants and contributions. G eneral
revenues include all taxes. The accrual basis of accounting is followed in a ll proprietary funds. Under the accrual
basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when incurred. All assets
and liabilities are recorded in the fund.
F. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
The City of Tukwila budgets its funds in accordance with the Revised Code of Washington 35A.33. In compliance
with the code, biennial budgets are adopted for the general fund and special revenue funds. For governmental
funds, there are no substantial differences between the budgetary basis and generally accepted accounting
principles. Budgetary accounts are integrated in fund ledgers for all budgeted funds, but the financial statements
include budgetary comparisons for biennially budgeted governmental funds only. Budgets established for
proprietary and fiduciary funds are “management budgets” and are not legally required to be reported and, as such,
are not reported in the CAFR.
The biennial appropriated budgets are adopted at the fund level and the budgets constitute the legal authority for
expenditures at that level. Subsidiary revenue and expenditure records are used to compare the budgeted amounts
with actual revenues and expenditures. As a managem ent control device, the subsidiary ledgers monitor
expenditures for individual functions and activities by object class. Any unexpended appropriation balances lapse
at the end of the biennium.
The City of Tukwila’s budget procedures are mandated by RCW 35A.33. The steps in the budget process are as
follows:
45
1) Prior to November 1 on even numbered years, the Mayor submits a proposed budget to the City Council.
This budget is based on priorities established by the Council and estimates provided by the City departments
during the preceding months and balanced with revenue estimates made by the Mayor.
2) The City Council conducts public hearings on the proposed budget in November . Public hearings are also
held in December, if necessary.
3) The Council makes its adjustments to the proposed budget and adopts by ordinance a final balanced budget
no later than December 31.
4) The final operating budget as adopted is published and distributed within the first month of the following
year. Copies of the budget are made available to the public.
The City Council must approve, by ordinance, any amendments that increase the total for the fund. Budget amounts
presented in the financial schedules include both the original amounts and the final amended budget as approved
by the City Council. The final budget is the original budget adjusted by all reserves, transfers, allocations,
supplemental appropriations, and other legally authorized changes applicable to the fiscal year.
Expenditure Categories
General Government Includes administration, finance, municipal court, attorney, and city clerk
activities.
Public Safety Includes all police and fire activities.
Physical Environment Includes expenditures for the public works activities not chargeable to the
enterprise funds.
Transportation Includes all street and arterial street maintenance and construction.
Economic Development Reflects the planning and building inspection activities.
Culture and Recreation Includes the parks and recreation activities.
G. Assets, Liabilities, and Fund Equity
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The government’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short -term
investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acq uisition.
Investments
Investments are held separately by each fund with interest earned directly for the benefit of each fund. Investments
are reported in the financial statements at fair value, based on quoted prices in accordance with GASB Statement
No. 72, Fair Value Measurement and Application. Washington State statutes provide for the City to hold investments
consisting of obligations of the Federal Government, repurchase agreements, p rime banker’s acceptances, and
time certificates of deposit. Additional deposit and investment information is presented in Note 2.
Notes Receivable
Notes receivable in the enterprise funds consists of sewer connection fees due from customers to the utility. In the
governmental funds, it consists of the special assessment as well as developer agreements, of which the City
currently has two current developer agreements.
46
Amounts Due to and From Other Funds and Governments, Interfund Loans and Advances Receivable
Activity between funds that is representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal
year are referred to as either “interfund loans receivable/payable” or “advances to/from other funds.” Any residual
balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are reported in the
government-wide financial statements as “internal balances.” As of December 31, 2019, there are no residual
balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities.
The non-current portion of interfund loans in the general fund and advances between funds, as reported in the fund
financial statements, are offset by a fund balance nonspendable account in applicable governmental funds to
indicate they are not available for appropriation and are not expendable available financial resources. See Note 4
on interfund transactions.
Special Assessments
Special assessments are amounts levied against benefited properties to recover costs associated with the
construction of Local Improvement District (LID) projects. A lien is recorded against benefited properties until the
assessment has been paid. Special assessments receivable represents all outstanding assessment amounts
including current assessments billed but not collected, delinquent assessments unpaid at year-end, and special
assessment amounts due in future years, which are recorded in a deferred inflow of resources account in the fund
financial statements. Since special assessments are secured by liens against related properties, no allowance for
uncollectible amounts is made.
Inventories
Inventory is defined as items purchased for resale to external customers or other City departments or supplies and
small tools used in normal operations that are considered material in amount. The inventory amount on this year’s
financial statements reflect only those items that will be resold. Inventory held for resale is valued at lower of cost
or market and there is a physical inventory count taken annually at year-end.
Governmental funds use the purchase method whereby inventory items are considered expenditures when
purchased.
Real Property Held for Resale
Governmental funds do not report property, plant, and equipment because such assets normally are used in
operations, and therefore will never be available for spending (they are not financial assets). However, specific
items of property occasionally are acquired with the intent of sale. Examples include foreclosure properties,
redevelopment properties, and donated assets held for resale rather than retained for use in operations.
Governments often acquire redevelopment properties to attract private-sector investment in an economically
depressed area and are willing to sell the property at a price that may be far less than the government’s cost to
acquire and improve the property. Since assets held for sale can never be reported at an amount higher than their
net realizable value, any cost in excess of net realizable value must be excluded from the property value reported
in the financial statements.
Between 1999 and 2004 the City acquired a number of properties comprising approximately 5.76 acres in its urban
renewal area along Tukwila International Boulevard for a redevelopment project called Tukwila Village. In 2012 the
City executed an agreement to sell the property to a developer. In 2017 the City and developer closed escrow on
the sale of the first phase which was then completed in 2018. The City and developer signed a purchase and sale
agreement for the second, and final, phase in 2018. Escrow closed in 2019 and construction is to be completed
by 2020.
47
As part of a crime-reduction project, the City purchased three crime-ridden motels in 2014 plus an adjacent motel
and retail shop in 2015. All structures on those properties were demolished in 2016. The City is negotiating to sell
most of the now vacant land to HealthPoint, a federally recognized community health center. The City is also
negotiating to sell one of the parcels to an association of business owners displaced by the City's Justice
Center project. All redevelopment properties are reported at net realizable value in the financial statements.
Deferred Outflows /Inflows of Resources
Deferred outflow of resources represents a consumption of net position by the government that applies to a future
period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense/expenditure) until then. The City has
two items that qualify for reporting in this category. The City reports a deferred outflow related to pension and a
deferred loss on refunding water/sewer bonds.
Deferred inflow of resources represents an acquisition of net position by the government that applies to a future
period(s) and will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The City has two items
that qualify for reporting in this category. The City reports business taxes that are received in advance and a
deferred inflow related to pensions.
Capital Assets and Depreciation
The accounting and reporting treatment applied to the capital assets associated with a fund are determined by its
measurement focus. Capital assets acquired in governmental funds are accounted for as expenditures in the fund
when the asset is purchased. These assets are reported in the governmental activities column of the government-
wide statement of net position but are not reported in the fund financial statements. Capital assets utilized by the
proprietary funds are reported both in the business-type activities column of the government-wide statement of net
position and in the respective funds.
All capital assets are capitalized at cost (or estimated historical cost) and updated for additions and retirements
during the year. Where historical cost is not known, assets are recorded at estimated historical costs. Donated
assets are recorded at acquisition value at time of acquisition. The City maintains a capitalization threshold of five
thousand ($5,000) dollars. The City’s infrastructure consists of roads, bridges, storm sewers, water and sewer
distribution and collection systems. Improvements are capitalized while the costs of normal maintenance and repairs
that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend an asset’s life are not.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated service lives, as follows:
Asset Estimated Service Life
Buildings 25 to 50 years
Non-Building Improvements 25 to 50 years
Machinery and Equipment 2 to 50 years
Intangibles 2 to 50 years
Infrastructure 25 to 50 years
See Note 6 for additional information on capital assets.
48
Other Liabilities
Other liabilities include retainage, deposits and the incurred-but-not-reported (IBNR) claims and claim reserve for
the self-insured healthcare funds. The self-insurance fund for active employees includes an IBNR liability of
$662,400 determined using actuarial methods. This liability is multiplied by a factor of 2.2 to meet the City’s financial
goal of maintaining reserves at 1 x IBNR for claim fluctuations plus 1.2 x IBNR for a claims reserve yielding a total
liability of $ 1,457,280. The self-insurance fund for LEOFF 1 retirees includes an IBNR liability of $61,400 and total
liability of $153,500 utilizing the same calculations as the active employees’ self-insurance fund.
Compensated Absences
City policy and labor contracts with City of Tukwila employees call for the accumulation of vacation and sick leave.
At termination of employment, employees with the required length of service may receive cash payments for all
accumulated vacation leave to a maximum of 624 hours. Sick leave termination benefits are based on a percentage
of accumulated sick leave up to a maximum of 180 hours. The payment is based on current wages at termination.
The entire compensated absence liability, which includes salary and wages as well as related taxes, is reported on
the government-wide financial statements. In the enterprise funds, the entire amount of compensated absences is
reported as a fund liability. This reporting format is in compliance with GASB Statement No. 16.
The current portion reported on the schedule of long-term liabilities is calculated using the last-in-first-out (LIFO)
approach. Anticipated subsequent yearly usage is used to determine the current portion of the liability. There is
no current portion to report when the anticipated leave usage is less than the anticipated leave to be accrued during
the next year.
Long-Term Obligations
In the government-wide financial statements, and proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements, long -term
debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business -
type activities, or proprietary fund type statement of net position. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized over
the life of the bonds using the straight-line method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond discount.
Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as expenses.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts during the
current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt
issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing
uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service
expenditures. Long-term debt outstanding at year-end is outlined in Note 10.
Fund Balance/Net Position
A fund balance represents the difference between the current assets and current liabilities plus deferred inflows.
The City restricts those portions of fund balance which are legally segregated for a specific future use or which do
not represent available, spendable resources and therefore are not available for general appropriation or
expenditure.
Net position represents the difference between assets plus deferred outflow of resources and liabilities plus deferred
inflow of resources. Net position invested in capital assets, net of related debt, consists of capital assets, net of
accumulated depreciation, reduced by the outstanding balances of any borrowing used (i.e., the amount that the
City has spent) for the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets. Net position is reported as
restricted when there are limitations imposed on their use either through the enabling legisl ation adopted by the
City or through external restrictions imposed by creditors , grantors or laws or regulations of other governments. The
remaining balance is reported as unrestricted.
49
As revised in 2017, the City’s Reserve Policy addresses the various types of the City’s operating and restricted use
funds. The objectives of this Policy are to establish, attain, and restore minimum fund balances, including self-
insurance health care reserve funds, and specified review and reporting of fund balances.
At the close of each fiscal year, the General Fund balance shall equal or exceed 18%, and the Contingency Reserve
Fund balance shall each equal or exceed 10%, of the previous year General Fund revenue, exclusive of significant
non-operating, non-recurring revenues such as real estate sales or transfers in from other funds. Additionally, 10%
of the previous year one-time revenues shall be set aside in a one-time revenue reserve within the Contingency
Reserve fund.
Enterprise funds, at the close of each fiscal year, the unrestricted fund balance shall equal or exceed 20% of the
previous year revenue, exclusive of the effects of GASB Statement No. 68, as well as significant non-operating,
non-recurring revenues such as real estate sales, transfers in from other funds or debt proceeds.
The City shall maintain a reserve balance in each of its self-insured health care funds an amount equal to 2.2 times
or 220%, of the actuarially determined IBNR liability.
Fund Balance Components
The fund balance amounts for governmental funds have been classified in accordance with GASB Statement No.
54 and are reported as nonspendable, restricted, committed, assigned or unassigned.
•Nonspendable fund balance includes items that cannot be spent. This includes activity that is not in a
spendable form (inventories, prepaid amounts, long-term portion of loans/notes receivable, or property held
for resale unless the proceeds are restricted, committed or assigned) and activity that is legally or
contractually required to remain intact, such as a principal balance in a permanent fund. The general fund’s
nonspendable fund balance of $509 thousand is the outstanding balance of a loan from the general fund to
the Tukwila Metropolitan Park District.
•Restricted fund balances have constraints placed upon the use of the resources either by an external party
or imposed by law through a constitutional provision or enabling legislation.
•Committed fund balances can be used only for specific purposes pursuant to constraints imposed by a form al
action in the form of ordinances and resolutions of Tukwila Councilmembers, the City’s highest level of
decision-making authority. This formal action is the passage of an ordinance by City Council creating,
modifying, or rescinding an appropriation. These committed amounts cannot be used for any other purpose
unless Council removes or changes the specified use by taking the same type of action it employed to
previously commit those amounts.
•Assigned fund balance includes amounts that are constrained by the City’s intent to be used for a specific
purpose but are neither restricted nor committed. Assigned also includes a contingency balance authorized
via the City’s Reserve Fund Balance policy. Intent of use and authority to assign amounts is determined
through the budgetary process, either during adoption or amending, and the Finance Director has final
authority.
•Unassigned fund balance is the residual amount not included in the four categories described above. Also,
any deficit fund balances within the other governmental fund types are reported as unassigned.
50
Each fund has been analyzed to classify the fund balance in accordance with GASB Statement No. 54. Funds are
created by the City Council and money is authorized to be transferred to the fun d for a particular purpose. At this
point, balances in these funds are at least committed, and may be further restricted depending on whether there is
an external party, constitutional provision, or enabling legislation constraint involved. The City applies restricted
resources first when an expense is incurred for purpos es of which both restricted and unrestricted fund balance is
available in the governmental funds. When expenditures are incurred for purposes, for which unrestricted
(committed, assigned, and unassigned) resources are available, and amounts in any of these unrestricted
classifications can be used, it is the City’s policy to spend committed resources first, the assigned second, followed
by unassigned.
Operating Revenues and Expenses
Operating revenues are generated directly from the primary activity of the proprietary funds. For the City, these
revenues are service fees for utilities, charges for services for the use of the golf course and the internal use of
vehicles, computers, and facilities. Operating expenses are necessary costs incurred to provide the good or service
that are the primary activity of each fund. All other revenues and expenses are classified as non-operating including
investment earnings, interest expense and the gain or loss on the disposition of capital assets.
Contributions of Capital
Contributions of capital in proprietary fund financial statement arise from outside contributions of capital assets, for
example, developers, and grants or outside contributions of resou rces restricted to capital acquisition and
construction. It also includes water and sewer connection charges.
Indirect Cost Allocation
Indirect costs, also referred to as overhead costs, consist of the cost of central services or support functions share d
across departments. They include accounting, human resources, payroll, information technology, janitorial
services, and others. These services are paid through the general fund and charged back to the proprietary funds
that directly benefit from them. The indirect costs allocated to the proprietary and other funds totaled $2,545,644
for 2019 and are reported as a reduction of general government expenditures on the Statement of Activities.
Interfund Activity
Exchange transactions between funds are reported as revenues in the seller funds and as expenditures/expenses
in the purchaser funds. On the government-wide statement of activities, the exchange transactions between the
internal service funds and the user funds are eliminated. Flows of cash or goods from one fund to another without
a requirement for repayment are reported as interfund transfers. Interfund transfers are reported as other financing
sources/uses in governmental funds and after non-operating revenues/expenses section in propr ietary funds.
Transfers between governmental and business -type activities on the government-wide statement of activities are
reported separately after general revenues . Transfers between funds reported in the governmental activities column
are eliminated. Transfers between funds reported in the business type activities column are eliminated.
Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results
may differ from those estimates.

Risk Management
It is the City of Tukwila’s policy to self-insure for unemployment benefits because of the insignificant liability. Medical
and dental self-insurance coverage is also provided for employees. All buildings, City equipment, and City vehicles
are insured by carriers for property coverage at replacement value. The City of Tukwila is a member of the
Washington Cities Insurance Authority (WCIA) as of January 1, 1984. WCIA is an organization of Washington
entities numbering 163 as of December 31, 2019. WCIA provides pooled self-insurance coverage for general
liability, vehicle liability, false arrest, and errors and omissions. See Note 13 for additional information on risk
management.
H. Pensions
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources
related to pensions, and pension expense, information about the fiduciary net position of all state sponsored pension
plans and additions to/deductions from those plans’ fiduciary net position have been determined on the same basis
as they are reported by the Washington State Department of Retirement Systems. For this purpose, benefit
payments (including refunds of employee contributions) ar e recognized when due and payable in accordance with
the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
I. Changes in Accounting Standards
The City implemented Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 84, Fiduciary Activities.
The objective of this Statement is to improve the consistency and comparability of fiduciary activity reporting by
state and local governments, This Statement also is intended to improve the usefulness of fiduciary activity
information primarily for assessing the accountability of governments in their roles as fiduciaries. Statement No. 88
– Certain Disclosures Related to Debt, Including Direct Borrowings and Direct Placements . The objective of this
Statement is to improve the information that is disclosed in notes to government financial statements related to
debt, including direct borrowings and direct placements. It also clarifies which liabilities governments should include
when disclosing information related to debt. .
NOTE 2 –DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS
The City maintains a cash and investment pool available for use by all funds. Interest earned on pooled investmen ts
is recorded in the participating funds. Investments are also held separately by several of the funds, with interest
earned directly for the benefit of each fund.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Custodial credit risk is the risk associated with the failure of a depository financial institution. In the event of a
depository financial institution’s failure, it is the risk that the City would not be able to recover its deposits or
collateralized securities that are in the possession of the outside parties. T he City minimizes custodial credit risk
by following the restrictions set forth in state law.
At year-end, the carrying amount of the City’s cash balance held in banks was $13,863,174. Of the bank balance,
$250,000 was covered by Federal depository insurance and the Washington Public Deposit Protection Commission
(WPDPC) insured the remainder. The City also maintains imprest funds totaling $16,250.
The City participates in the Washington State Treasurer's Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP ) managed by
the Office of the State Treasurer, which is also responsible for establishing the investment policy for the LGIP. The
LGIP is an unrated external investment pool. The pool’s portfolio is invested in a manner that meets the maturity,
quality, diversification, and liquidity requirements set for by GASB 79 “Certain External Investment Pools and Pool
Participants” for external investment pools that elect to measured investments at amortized costs for financial
reporting purposes.
52
Investments in the LGIP are available on demand in the amount of the original investment, plus interest earnings,
and are treated as a money-market investment. Accordingly, the fair value of the City's position in the LGIP is the
same as the value of the City's LGIP shares. Regulatory oversight for these investments is provided as prescribed
by Washington State law. The State Auditor audits the accounts of the State Treasurer to determine the compliance
of investment activities with state statutes and the investment policy . Also, an independent audit of the LGIP's
financial statements is performed annually. The State Treasurer has created an Advisory Committee consisting of
eight members appointed by participant associations and four members appointed by the State Treasurer . The
committee meets at least quarterly to provide advice on the operation of the LGIP.
Investments
The City’s investment portfolio includes certificate of depos its insured by the Washington State Public Depository
Commission, U.S. Government Agency Notes, and municipal bonds issued by state and local agencies. These
investments are reported at fair value based on quoted market prices . Fair value is the amount at which a financial
instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation
sale. Also, the Firemen’s Pension Fund is authorized to invest in stocks, bonds, and mutual funds.
At December 31, 2019, the City had the following deposits and investments. Certificates of deposits are measured
at amortized cost, agencies and municipal bonds are measured at fair value.

Fair Value Measurement
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally accepted
accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of the asset.
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an
exit price) in the principal or cost advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction. There is
a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs when measuring fair value.
The guidance requires three levels of fair value measurement based on the respective inputs.
• Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. These valuation inputs are
considered most reliable.
• Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets
that are not active, or other observables. These valuation inputs are considered to be reliable.
• Level 3 inputs are significant unobservable inputs and are considered to be the least reliable.
U.S. Agency Securities and municipal bonds classified in Level 2 are valued using quoted prices for similar
securities and interest rates. The level of fair value measurement is based on the lowest level of significant input
for the security type in its entirety. There are no Level 1 or Level 3 security classifications to report.
The fair values noted in the following table have been provided by Time Value Investments, who obtains the
information through Interactive Data (IDC). IDC evaluates the various securities and obtains feeds from a number
of live data and market sources including active market makers and inter-dealer brokers, relative credit information,
observed market movements, and sector news. IDC reviews sources on the basis of their historical accuracy for
individual issues and maturity ranges.

Fair Value Measurements Using
Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates of debt investments will adversely affect the fair value of
an investment. As a means of limiting its exposure to fair value losses arising from rising interest rates, the City’s
investment policy limits investment maturities as follows:
1) At the time of investment, a minimum of thirty percent (30%) of the cash and investment portfolio will be
comprised of investments maturing or available within one year.
2) At the time of investment, eighty percent (80%) of the portfolio will be comprised of investments maturing or
available within five (5) years and no instruments shall have a maturity exceeding ten (10) years, except
when compatible with a specific fund’s investment needs.
3) The average maturity of the portfolio shall not exceed three and one half (3 ½) years or forty-two (42) months.
The City uses the weighted average maturity method to manage interest rate risk.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations. State statutes
and the City’s investment policy limit the types of securiti es authorized for investment by the City. The principal
governing statutes are RCW 39.59 and RCW 39.60. The Finance D irector may further restrict eligible investments
by this policy at his/her discretion. Authorized investments include (but are not limited to):
1) U.S. Treasury Securities.
2) U.S. Agency Securities (i.e., obligations of any government -sponsored corporation eligible for collateral
purposes at the Federal Reserve).
3) Certificates of Deposit, Money Market Deposit Accounts and savings deposits with qualified depositories
within statutory limits as promulgated by the WPDPC at the time of investment.
4) Bankers Acceptances (BA’s) purchased on the secondary market with a rating of A -1, P-1, its equivalent or
better.
5) General Obligation Bonds of a state or local government which have at the time of the investment one of the
three highest credit ratings of a nationally recognized rating agency.
6) The Washington State Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP), an unrated, external investment pool.
56
As of December 31, 2019, the City’s investments in municipal bonds were rated Aaa to Aa3 by Moody’s Investor
Service.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of an investment in a single issuer. The
City of Tukwila diversifies its investments by security type and institution as described below:
1)No more than fifty percent (50%) of the City’s cash and investment portfolio, at the time of purchase, shall
be in any single financial institution.
2)Except, that no more than seventy-five percent (75%) of the City’s portfolio, at the time of purchase, shall be
invested in the Washington State Local Government Investment Pool, and
3)No more than seventy-five percent (75%) of the City’s portfolio, at the time of purchase, shall be invested in
U.S. Treasury or Agency securities.

Property Taxes Receivable
The County Treasurer acts as an agent to collect property taxes levied in the County for all taxing authorities.
Collections are distributed daily via wire transfer.
Property Tax Calendar
January 1st Taxes are levied and become an enforceable lien against properties.
February 14th Tax bills are mailed.
April 30th First of two equal installment payments is due. If taxes are less than $50, full payment is due.
(RCW 84.56.020)
May 31st Assessed value of property established for next year’s levy at 100 percent of market value.
October 31st Second installment is due. (RCW84.56.020)
Assessed values are established by the County Assessor at 100% of fair market value. A revaluation of all property
is required every two years. On May 31 of each year the assessed value of property is established for the next
year’s property tax levy.
Property taxes levied by the County Assessor and collected by the County treasurer become a lien on the first day
of the levy year and may be paid in two equal installments if the total amount is $50 or more. The first half of real
property taxes is due on April 30 and the balance is due October 31. Delinquent taxes bear interest at the rate of
12% and are subject to additional penalties if not paid as scheduled.
During the year, property tax revenues are recognized when cash is received. At year -end, unpaid property taxes
are recorded as a receivable. Property tax receivables at year -end not expected to be collected within 60 days after
the current period are reported as other unavailable revenue in the deferred inflow of resources section of the
governmental funds financial statements. The tax rate for general City operations is limite d to $3.60 per $1,000 of
assessed value. An additional levy rate of $0.225 is available to the City because the City funds a Firemen’s
Pension Fund.
The payment of principal and interest on limited tax (non-voted) bonds issued by the City is made from the general
levy. Accordingly, the issuance of limited tax general obligation bonds has the effect of reducing property taxes
available for the general operations of City government. State law also provides that the Cit y’s operating levy may
not exceed 101% of the largest single levy since 1985. The State Constitution provides that the total of all taxes
upon real and personal property by the State and all taxing entities, including the City, shall not in any year exceed
1% ($10 per $1,000) of the true and fair monetary value of such property. This lim itation may be exceeded upon
the approval of 60% of the City voters at an election in which the total vote exceeds 40% of the votes cast at the
last general election.
Washington State Constitution and Washington State law, RCW 84.55.010, limit the rate. The City’s regular levy
in 2019 was $2.39084 per $1,000 of assessed valuation of $ 6,673,839,922 for a total regular levy of $15,956,101.
Special levies approved by the voters are not subject to the limitations listed above. In 2019, the City levied an
additional $0.42551 per $1,000 for the Public Safety Plan approved by voters in November 2016. The total
additional levy in 2019 was $2,839,788.
Due from Other Governments
All receivables from other governments are recorded at year-end as amounts Due from Other Governmental Units.
These amounts represent federal, state, and local reimbursement-type grants, and are reported as receivables and
intergovernmental revenues in the year when the related expe nditures are incurred. As of December 31, 2019, the
majority represents grants.
58
Notes Receivable
Notes receivable for governmental activities consists of the long-term portion of the special assessments related to
Local Improvement District (LID) No. 33. Special assessments are levied against certain property owners benefited
by the improvement. The current portion of outstanding assessments is reported in the receivables category on the
Statement of Net Position and consists of assessments which are due within one year and delinquent assessments
from the prior year. Assessments are charged to property owners within the LID annually with payments due in
October of each year. The repayment period for the assessments is 15 years with the first insta llment due in 2014
and the final installment due in 2028.
The other note receivable category is relat ed to developer agreements. There is one agreement with a local
developer to defer fire, parks and traffic impact fees as part of a new, large construction project. The agreement is
for the Tukwila South project which defers $1.75 million in fire impact fees, with annual payments due each
December from 2017 through 2022.
Notes receivable for business–type activities consists of outstanding payment plans for sewer connection fees. The
City designed and constructed sewer infrastructure in both the Allentown and Foster Point neighborhoods, which
was previously on septic. The project was completed and accepted by City Council in 2007. The connection fees
to be paid by property owners were established by ordinance, effective in August of 2007. One option given to
property owners was an installment payment plan. This option allowed owners to sign an agreement to have the
connection charge added to their monthly water bill and repaid over 5, 10, or 15 years with a 4% annual interest
rate. The balance reflects all principal outstanding at y ear-end.

government.
Reciprocal interfund activity involves the exchange of equal or almost equal value between funds.

Valley Communications Center
The “Valley Communications Center” was established August 20, 1976, when an Interlocal Agreement was entered
into by the four original participating municipal corporations, including the cities of Renton, Kent, Auburn, and
Tukwila. Federal Way was formally admitted during 2000. The agreement is sanctioned by the provisions and terms
of the Interlocal Cooperation Act pursuant to RCW 39.34. The initial duration of th e agreement was five years, and
thereafter is automatically extended for consecutive five-year periods.
The purpose of the joint operation, hereafter referred to as Valley Com, is to provide improved consolidated
emergency communications (dispatch) services for police, fire, and medical aid, to the five participating cities and
to several subscribing agencies. Separate agreements between Valley Com and the subscribing agencies have
been executed, which set forth conditions of services and rates charged. T he allocation of prorated financial
participation among the five participating cities is the percentage of estimated dispatched calls attributed to each
jurisdiction compared to the total estimated dispatched calls for the current 12 -month period ending December 31.
The 2019 cost distribution for the five (5) participating cities is as follows:
Valley Com is governed by an Administration Board composed of the Mayors from the five participating cities of
Renton, Kent, Auburn, Tukwila, and Federal Way. The Board is responsible for the following functions: (1) Adopting
an annual budget after review by participating legislative bodies; (2) Appointment and/or discharge of the Director;
(3) Approves personnel policy and makes final decisions on all major policy changes; (4) Reviews and approves all
contracts.
In addition, an Operating Board was established and consists of two members of each participating City’s Public
Safety Departments, including the heads of such departments or their designees. The Op erating Board performs
the following functions: (1) Oversees the operation of Valley Com and advises and makes recommendations to the
Administration Board; (2) Makes recommendation on Director selection; (3) Presents proposed policies and budgets
to the Administration Board; (4) Approves disbursement of funds by the Director.
The Director presents a proposed budget to the Operating Board on or before August 15 of each year. The proposed
budget is then presented to the Administration Board by September 1 of each year. The Administration Board can
make changes to the proposed Valley Com budget as it finds necessary, but final approval falls to the legislative
body of each participating city, in accordance with the provisions of the Interlocal Agreement.

The share of equity belonging to the five (5) participating cities is as follows:
Liabilities are the responsibility of the five participating cities in direct proportion to their equity position. In August
1993, Valley Com entered into an interlocal cooperation agreement, pursuant to RCW 39.34 RCW, with the sub-
regions of King County, Seattle, and the Eastside Public Safety Communications Agency. This agreement governs
the development, acquisition and installation of the 800 MHz emergency radio communications system funded by
a $57 million King County levy approved in November 1992. This agreement provides that upon voluntary
termination of any sub-region’s participation in the system, it surrenders its radio frequencies, relinquishes its
equipment and transfers any unexpended levy proceeds and associated equipment replacement reserves to
another sub-region or consortium of sub-regions. Thus, in accordance with this agreement, the participating cities
of Valley Com have no equity interest in Valley Com’s 800-MHz communications system.
During 2000, the Valley Communications Center Development Authority was created to issue $12,758,000 in
General Obligation Bonds to finance construction, equipment, and land for a new facility completed in 2002 . Each
of the five participating cities was responsible for one-fifth of the debt obligation, which originally was $2,551,600
per City. The basic agreement shall not be terminated until all bonds issued by Valley Communications Center
Development Authority have been paid and retired. The final payment on the bonds was made in 2015.
A complete set of financial statements are available from Valley Communications Center, 27519 108th Ave SE,
Kent, WA 98030, or by telephone 253-372-1300.
South Correctional Entity (SCORE)
The South Correctional Entity (SCORE) consolidated correctional facility was established February 25, 2009, when
an Interlocal Agreement (the “Original Interlocal Agreement”) was entered into by seven participating municipal
governments, the “Member Cities” of Auburn, Burien, Des Moines, Federal Way, Renton, SeaTac and Tukwila,
under the authority of the “Interlocal Cooperation Act” (RCW 39.34). This “Original Interlocal Agreement” was
amended and restated October 1, 2009 and named the City of Des Moines as the “Host City” and the remaining
Member Cities as “Owner Cities”. This interlocal agreement is known as the “Formation Interlocal Agreement”.
Pursuant to a separate “Host City Agreement” dated October 1, 2009, the Host City will not enjoy the same equity
position as the Owner Cities until all debts issued are paid and the Host City fulfills all o f its obligations as outlined
in the Host City Agreement. Pursuant to SCORE financial policies, all unexpected funds or reserve funds shall be
distributed based on the percentage of the Member City’s average daily population at the SCORE Facility for the
last three (3) years regardless of its Owner City or Host City status.
SCORE, a governmental administrative agency pursuant to RCW 39.34.030(3), has the power to acquire, construct,
own, operate, maintain, equip, and improve a correctional facility known as the “SCORE Facility” and to provide
correctional services and functions incidental thereto, for the purpose of detaining arrestees and sentenced
offenders in the furtherance of public safety and emergencies within the jurisdiction of the Member Cities. The
SCORE Facility may serve the Member Cities and Subscribing Agencies which are in need of correctional facilities.
Any agreement with a Subscribing Agency shall be in writing and approved by SCORE as provided within the
SCORE Formation Interlocal Agreement.

Financing for the acquisition, construction, equipping, and improvement of the SCORE Facility was provided by
bonds issued by the South Correctional Entity Facility Public Development Authority (the “SCORE PDA”), a public
development authority chartered by the City of Renton pursuant to RCW 35.21.730 through 35.21.755. The
SCORE PDA issued $86 million in special obligation bonds in 2009 (the “Bonds”) to construct, develop, acquire
and equip the SCORE Facility. Pursuant to the Formation Interlocal Agreement and the ordinances of each city,
each Owner City (which includes the Cities of Auburn, Burien, Federal Way, Renton, SeaTac, and Tukwila) is
obligated to budget for and pay its share, and only its share, of the principal of and interest on the Bo nds as the
same become due and payable. Each Owner City’s obligation to pay its portion is an irrevocable, unconditional
full faith and credit obligation of such Owner City, payable from property taxes levied within the constitutional and
statutory authority provided without a vote of the electors of the Owner City on all of the taxable property within
the Owner City and other sources of revenues avail able therefor.
Pursuant to the 2009 Interlocal Agreement, on September 5, 2018, the City of Federal Way gave its notice of intent
to withdraw from SCORE effective December 31, 2019. The remaining Member Cities (including the cities of
Auburn, Burien, Des Moines, Renton, SeaTac and Tukwila) entered into an Amended and Restated SCORE
Interlocal Agreement (2019 Interlocal Agreement), which amended and restated the 2009 Interlocal Agreement in
its entirety, removed Federal Way as a Member City (effective Dec ember 31, 2019) and an Owner City (effective
immediately), added the City of Des Moines as an Owner City, terminated the Host City Agreement, and made
other revisions to provide for the issuance of bonds to refund the 2009 Bonds.
On December 11, 2019, the Authority issued its Refunding Bonds, Series 2019 in the aggregate principal amount
of $51,055,000 (2019 Bonds). The 2019 Interlocal Agreement became effective on the date of issuance of the 2019
Bonds. Proceeds of the 2019 Bonds were used, together w ith a contribution from Federal Way to fully pay its 2009
Capital Contribution, to defease and refund all of the outstanding 2009 Bonds.
As a result, Federal Way has satisfied its 2009 Capital Contribution and as of December 31, 2019, will no longer be
considered a Member City of SCORE.
Pursuant to the 2019 Interlocal Agreement and the ordinances of each city, each remaining Owner City (including
the Cities of Auburn, Burien, Des Moines, Renton, SeaTac, and Tukwila) is obligated to budget for and pay its
share, and only its share, of the principal of and interest on the 2019 Bonds as the same become due and payable
(referred to as each Owner City’s 2019 Capital Contribution). Each Owner City’s obligation to pay its 2019 Capital
Contribution is an irrevocable, unconditional full faith and credit obligation of such Owner City, payable from regular
property taxes levied within the constitutional and statutory authority provided without a vote of the electors of the
Owner City on all of the taxable property within the Owner City and other sources of revenues available therefor.
The City of Federal Way is not obligated, under the 2019 Interlocal Agreement or otherwise, to pay debt service on
the 2019 Bonds or other debt of the Authority.

Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS)
PERS members include elected officials; state employees; employees of the Supreme, Appeals and Superior
Courts; employees of the legislature; employees of district and municipal courts; employees of local governments;
and higher education employees not participating in higher education retirement programs. PERS is comprised of
three separate pension plans for membership purposes. PERS plans 1 and 2 are defined benefit plans, and PERS
plan 3 is a defined benefit plan with a defined contribution component.
PERS Plan 1 provides retirement, disability and death benefits. Retirement benefits are determined as two percent
of the member’s average final compensation (AFC) times the member’s years of service. The AFC is the average
of the member’s 24 highest consecutive service months. Members are eligible for retirement from active status at
any age with at least 30 years of service, at age 55 with at least 25 years of service, or at age 60 with at least five
years of service. Members retiring from active status prior to the age of 65 may receive actuarially reduced benefits.
Retirement benefits are actuarially reduced to reflect the choice of a survivor benefit. Other benefits include duty
and non-duty disability payments, an optional cost-of-living adjustment (COLA), and a one-time duty-related death
benefit, if found eligible by the Department of Labor and Industries. PERS 1 members were vested after the
completion of five years of eligible service. The plan was closed to new entrants on Septe mber 30, 1977.
Contributions
The PERS Plan 1-member contribution rate is established by State statute at 6 percent. The employer contribution
rate is developed by the Office of the State Actuary and includes an administrative expense component that is
currently set at 0.18 percent. Each biennium, the state Pension Funding Council adopts Plan 1 employer
contribution rates. The PERS Plan 1 required contribution rates (expressed as a percentage of covered payroll) for
2018 were as follows:
PERS Plan 1
Actual Contribution Rates Employer Employee*
January – June 2019
PERS Plan 1 7.52% 6.00%
PERS Plan 1 UAAL 5.13%
Administrative Fee 0.18%
Total 12.70% 6.00%
September – December 2018
PERS Plan 1 7.92% 6.00%
PERS Plan 1 UAAL 4.76%
Administrative Fee 0.18%
Total 12.86% 6.00%
* For employees participating in JBM, the contribution rate was 12.26%.
PERS Plan 2/3 provides retirement, disability and death benefits. Retirement benefits are determined as two
percent of the member’s average final compensation (AFC) times the member’s years of service for Plan 2 and 1
percent of AFC for Plan 3. The AFC is the average of the member’s 60 highest-paid consecutive service months.
There is no cap on years of service credit. Members are eligible for retirement with a full benefit at 65 with at least
five years of service credit. Retirement before age 65 is considered an early retirement. PERS Plan 2/3 members
who have at least 20 years of service credit and are 55 years of age or older, are eligible for early retirement with a
benefit that is reduced by a factor that varies according to age for each year before age 65. PERS Plan 2/3 members
who have 30 or more years of service credit and are at least 55 years old can retire under one of two provisions:
69
• With a benefit that is reduced by three percent for each year before age 65; or
• With a benefit that has a smaller (or no) reduction (depending on age) that imposes stricter return -to-work
rules.
PERS Plan 2/3 members hired on or after May 1, 2013 have the option to retire early by accepting a reduction of
five percent for each year of retirement before age 65. This option is available only to those who are age 55 or
older and have at least 30 years of service credit. PERS Plan 2/3 retirement benefits are also actuarially reduced
to reflect the choice of a survivor benefit. Other PERS Plan 2/3 benefits inclu de duty and non-duty disability
payments, a cost-of-living allowance (based on the CPI), capped at three percent annu ally and a one-time duty
related death benefit, if found eligible by the Department of Labor and Industries. PERS 2 members are vested
after completing five years of eligible service. Plan 3 members are vested in the defined benefit portion of their plan
after ten years of service; or after five years of service if 12 months of that service are earned after age 44.
PERS Plan 3 defined contribution benefits are totally dependent on employee contributions and investment
earnings on those contributions. PERS Plan 3 members choose their contribution rate upon joining membership
and have a chance to change rates upon changing employers. As established by statute, Plan 3 required defined
contribution rates are set at a minimum of 5 percent and escalate to 15 percent with a choice of six options.
Employers do not contribute to the defined contribution benefits. PERS Plan 3 members are immediately vested in
the defined contribution portion of their plan.
Contributions
The PERS Plan 2/3 employer and employee contribution rates are developed by the Office of the State Actuary to
fully fund Plan 2 and the defined benefit portion of Plan 3. The Plan 2/3 employer rates include a component to
address the PERS Plan 1 UAAL and an administrative expense that is currently set at 0.18 percent. Each biennium,
the state Pension Funding Council adopts Plan 2 employer and employee contribution rates and Plan 3 contribution
rates. The PERS Plan 2/3 required contribution rates (expressed as a percentage of covered payroll) for 2019 were
as follows:
PERS Plan 2/3
Actual Contribution Rates Employer 2/3 Employee 2
January – June 2019

The City of Tukwila’s actual PERS plan contributions were $845,742 to PERS Plan 1 and $1,310,892 to PERS Plan
2/3 for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Public Safety Employees’ Retirement System (PSERS)
PSERS Plan 2 was created by the 2004 Legislature and became effective July 1, 2006. To be eligible for
membership, an employee must work on a full-time basis and:
•Have completed a certified criminal justice training course with authority to arrest, conduct criminal
investigations, enforce the criminal laws of Washington, and carry a firearm as part of the job; or
•Have primary responsibility to ensure the custody and security of incarcerated or probationary individuals;
or
•Function as a limited authority Washington peace officer, as defined in RCW 10.93.020; or
•Have primary responsibility to supervise eligible members who meet the above criteria.
PSERS membership includes:
•PERS 2 or 3 employees hired by a covered employer before July 1, 2006, who met at least one of the
PSERS eligibility criteria and elected membership during the period of July 1, 2006 to September 30, 2006;
and
•Employees hired on or after July 1, 2006 by a covered employer, that meet at least one of the PSERS
eligibility criteria.
PSERS covered employers include:
•Certain State of Washington agencies (Department of Corrections, Department of Natural Resources,
Gambling Commission, Liquor and Cannabis Board, Parks and Recreation Commission, and Washington
State Patrol),
•Washington State Counties,
•Washington State Cities (except for Seattle, Spokane, and Tacoma),
•Correctional entities formed by PSERS employers under the Interlocal Cooperation Act.
PSERS Plan 2 provides retirement, disability and death benefits. Retirement benefits are determined as two
percent of the average final compensation (AFC) for each year of service. The AFC is based on the member’s 60
consecutive highest creditable months of service. Benefits are actuarially reduced for each year that the member’s
age is less than 60 (with ten or more servic e credit years in PSERS), or less than 65 (with fewer than ten service
credit years). There is no cap on years of service credit. Members are e ligible for retirement at the age of 65 with
five years of service; or at the age of 60 with at least ten years of PSERS service credit; or at age 53 with 20 years
of service. Retirement before age 60 is considered an early retirement. PSERS members who retire prior to the
age of 60 receive reduced benefits. If retirement is at age 53 or older with at least 20 y ears of service, a three
percent per year reduction for each year between the age at retirement and age 60 applies. PSERS Plan 2
retirement benefits are actuarially reduced to reflect the choice of a survivor benefit. Other benefits include duty
and non-duty disability payments, an optional cost-of living adjustment (COLA), and a one-time duty-related death
benefit, if found eligible by the Department of Labor and Industries. PSERS Plan 2 members are vested after
completing five years of eligible service.
71
Contributions
The PSERS Plan 2 employer and employee contribution rates are developed by the Office of the State Actuary to
fully fund Plan 2. The Plan 2 employer rates include components to address the PERS Plan 1 unfunded actuarial
accrued liability and administrative expense currently set at 0.18 percent. Each biennium, the state Pension
Funding Council adopts Plan 2 employer and employee contribution rates.
The PSERS Plan 2 required contribution rates (expressed as a percentage of cu rrent-year covered payroll) for 2019
were as follows:
PSERS Plan 2
Actual Contribution Rates Employer Employee
January – June 2019
PSERS Plan 2 7.07% 7.07%
PERS Plan 1 UAAL 5.13%
Administrative Fee 0.18%

PSERS Plan 2 7.20% 7.20%
PERS Plan 1 UAAL 4.76%

Total 12.14% 7.20%
The City of Tukwila’s actual plan contributions were $12,191 to PSERS Plan 2 for the year ended December 31,
2019.
Law Enforcement Officers’ and Fire Fighters’ Retirement System (LEOFF)
LEOFF membership includes all full-time, fully compensated, local law enforcement commissioned officers,
firefighters, and as of July 24, 2005, emergency medical technicians. LEO FF is comprised of two separate defined
benefit plans.
LEOFF Plan 1 provides retirement, disability and death benefits. Re tirement benefits are determined per year of
service calculated as a percent of final average salary (FAS) as follows:
• 20+ years of service – 2.0% of FAS
• 10-19 years of service – 1.5% of FAS
• 5-9 years of service – 1% of FAS
The FAS is the basic monthly salary received at the time of retirement, provided a member has held the same
position or rank for 12 months preceding the date of r etirement. Otherwise, it is the average of the highest
consecutive 24 months’ salary within the last ten years of service. Members are eligible for retirement with five
years of service at the age of 50. Other benefits include duty and non -duty disability payments, a cost-of living
adjustment (COLA), and a one-time duty-related death benefit, if found eligible by the Department of Labor and
Industries. LEOFF 1 members were vested after the completion of five years of eligible service. The plan was
closed to new entrants on September 30, 1977.
72
Contributions
Starting on July 1, 2000, LEOFF Plan 1 employers and employees contribute zero percent, as long as the plan
remains fully funded. The LEOFF Plan I had no required employer or employee contributions for fiscal year 2019.
Employers paid only the administrative expense of 0.18 percent of covered payroll.
LEOFF Plan 2 provides retirement, disability and death benefits. Retirement benefits are determined as two
percent of the final average salary (FAS) per year of service (the FAS is based on the highest consecutive 60
months). Members are eligible for retirement with a full benefit at 53 with at least five years of service credit.
Members who retire prior to the age of 53 receive reduced benefits. If the member has at least 20 years of service
and is age 50, the reduction is three percent for each year prior to age 53. Otherwise, the benefits are actuarially
reduced for each year prior to age 53. LEOFF 2 retirement benefits are also actuarially reduced to reflect the choice
of a survivor benefit. Other benefits include duty and non-duty disability payments, a cost-of-living allowance (based
on the CPI), capped at three percent annually and a one-time duty-related death benefit, if found eligible by the
Department of Labor and Industries. LEOFF 2 members are vested after the completion of five years of eligible
service.
Contributions
The LEOFF Plan 2 employer and employee contribution rates are developed by the Office of the State Actuary to
fully fund Plan 2. The employer rate includes an administrative expense component set at 0.18 percent. Plan 2
employers and employees are required to pay at the level adopted by the LEOFF Plan 2 Retirement Board.
Effective July 1, 2017, when a LEOFF employer charges a fee or recovers costs for services rendered by a LEOFF
2 member to a non-LEOFF employer, the LEOFF employer must cover both the employer and state contributions
on the LEOFF 2 basic salary earned for those services.
The LEOFF Plan 2 required contribution rates (expressed as a percentage of covered payroll) for 2019 were as
follows:
LEOFF Plan 2
Actual Contribution Rates Employer Employee
State and local governments 5.25% 8.75%
Administrative Fee 0.18%
Total 5.43% 8.75%
Ports and Universities 8.75% 8.75%
Administrative Fee 0.18%
Total 8.93% 8.75%
The City’s actual contributions to the plan were $868,767 for the year ended December 31, 2019.
The Legislature, by means of a special funding arrangement, appropriates money from the state General Fund to
supplement the current service liability and fund the prior service costs of Plan 2 in accordance with the
recommendations of the Pension Funding Council and the LEOFF Plan 2 Retirement Board. This special funding
situation is not mandated by the state constitution and could be changed by statute. For the state fiscal year
ending June 30, 2019, the state contributed $72,959,897 to LEOFF Plan 2. The amount recognized by the City of
Tukwila as its proportionate share of this amount is $539,330.
73
Actuarial Assumptions
The total pension liability (TPL) for each of the DRS plans was determined using the most recent actuarial
valuation completed in 2019 with a valuation date of June 30, 2018. The actuarial assumptions used in the
valuation were based on the results of the Office of the State Actuary’s (OSA) 2007-2012 Experience Study and
the 2017 Economic Experience Study.
Additional assumptions for subsequent events and law changes are current as of the 2018 actuarial valuation
report. The TPL was calculated as of the valuation date and rolled forward to the measurement date of June 30,
2019. Plan liabilities were rolled forward from June 30, 2018, to June 30, 2019, reflecting each plan’s normal cost
(using the entry-age cost method), assumed interest and actual benefit payments.
•Inflation: 2.75% total economic inflation; 3.50% salary inflation
•Salary increases: In addition to the base 3.50% salary inflation assumption, salaries are also expected to
grow by promotions and longevity.
•Investment rate of return: 7.4%
Mortality rates were based on the RP-2000 report’s Combined Healthy Table and Combined Disabled Table,
published by the Society of Actuaries. The OSA applied offsets to the base table and recognized future
improvements in mortality by projecting the mortality rates using 100 pe rcent Scale BB. Mortality rates are applied
on a generational basis; meaning, each member is assumed to receive additional mortality improvements in each
future year throughout his or her lifetime.
There were changes in methods and assumptions since the last valuation.
•OSA updated modeling to reflect providing benefit payments to the date of the initial eligibility for terminated
vested members who delay application for retirement benefits
•OSA updated COLA programming to reflect legislation signed during the 2018 legislative session that
provides PER ad TERS Plan 1 annuitants who are not receiving a basic minimum, alternate minimum , or
temporary disability benefit with a one-time permanent 1.5% increase to their monthly retirement benefit,
not to exceed a maximum of $62.50 per month.
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability for all DRS plans was 7.4 percent.
To determine that rate, an asset sufficiency test included an assumed 7.5 percent long -term discount rate to
determine funding liabilities for calculating future contribution rate requirements. (All plans use 7.5 percent except
LEOFF 2, which has assumed 7.4 percent). Consistent with the long -term expected rate of return, a 7.4 percent
future investment rate of return on invested assets was assumed for the test. Contributions from plan members
and employers are assumed to continue being made at contractually required rates (including PERS 2/3, PSERS
2, SERS 2/3, and TRS 2/3 employers, whose rates include a component for the PERS 1, and TRS 1 plan liabilities).
Based on these assumptions, the pension plans’ fiduciary net posi tion was projected to be available to make all
projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return of 7.4
percent was used to determine the total liab ility.
74
Long-Term Expected Rate of Return
The long-term expected rate of return on the DRS pension plan investments of 7.4 percent was determined using
a building-block-method. In selecting this assumption, the Office of the State Actuary (OSA) reviewed the historical
experience data, considered the historical conditions that produced past annual investment returns, and considered
capital market assumptions and simulated expected investment returns provided by the Washington State
Investment Board (WSIB). The WSIB uses the capital market assumptions and their target asset allocation to
simulate future investment returns over various time horizons.
Estimated Rates of Return by Asset Class
Best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class included in the pension plan’s target
asset allocation as of June 30, 2019, are summarized in the table below. The inflation component used to create
the table is 2.2 percent and represents the WSIB’s most recent long-term estimate of broad economic inflation.

Employer contribution transmittals received and processed by the DRS for the fiscal year ended Jun e 30 are used
as the basis for determining each employer’s proportionate share of the collective pension amounts reported by the
DRS in the Schedules of Employer and Non-employer Allocations for all plans except LEOFF 1.
LEOFF Plan 1 allocation percentages are based on the total historical employer contributions to LEOFF 1 from
1971 through 2000 and the retirement benefit payments in fiscal year 2018. Historical data was obtained from a
2011 study by the Office of the State Actuary (OSA). In fiscal year 2018, the State of Washington contributed 87.12
percent of LEOFF 1 employer contributions and all other employers contributed the remaining 12.88 percent of
employer contributions. LEOFF 1 is fully funded and no further e mployer contributions have been required since
June 2000. If the plan becomes underfunded, funding of the remaining liability will require new legislation. The
allocation method the plan chose reflects the projected long-term contribution effort based on historical data.
In fiscal year 2018, the state of Washington contributed 39.30 percent of LEOFF 2 employer contributions pursuant
to RCW 41.26.725 and all other employers contributed the remaining 60.70 percent of employer contributions.
The collective net pension liability (asset) was measured as of June 30, 2018, and the actuarial valuation date on
which the total pension liability (asset) is based was as of June 30, 2017, with upd ate procedures used to roll forward
the total pension liability to the measurement date.

Firemen’s Pension System
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Investments are valued and reported at fair value.
Plan Description
Plan Administration: The Firefighters'' Pension Fund is administered by the City of Tukwila. The plan is a single-
employer defined benefit pension plan that provides pensions for firefighters that were hired prior to 1970.
The firefighters' pension board consists of the following five members: the chairperson of the fire commissioners for
said district who shall be chairperson of the board, the county auditor, county treasurer, and in addition, two regularly
employed or retired firefighters elected by secret ballot of the employed an d retired firefighters. Retired members
who are subject to the jurisdiction of the pension board have both the right to elect and the right to be elected under
this section. The first members to be elected by the firefighters shall be elected annually for a two-year term. The
two firefighter-elected members shall, in turn, select a third eligible member who shall serve in the event of an
absence of one of the regularly elected members.
Plan membership is limited to active members of the Firefighters' Pension Fund (FPF) as of March 1, 1970. On that
date, the Washington Law Enforcement Officers' and Firefighters' System (LEOFF) was established. FPF is
responsible for paying the pensions of those members retired prior to March 1, 1970 and for providing the "e xcess
benefit", the excess of FPF formula benefits over the LEOFF benefits. Therefore, the plan is closed to new
members. At December 31, 2017 (the census date), FPF membership consisted of the following:
Type of Membership Total
Inactive plan members retired prior to March 1, 1970 0
Inactive plan members retired March 1, 1970 or after 10
Active Plan Members 0
Total 10
Benefits Provided
All benefit terms are in statutes RCW 41.16, 41.18, and 41.26. FPF provides retirement, disability, and death
benefits. Each firefighter in service on March 1, 1970 receives the greater of the benefit payable under the
Washington Law Enforcement Officers' and Firefighters' Retirement System and the benefits available under the
provisions of prior law. Where benefits under the old law exceed those under t he new law for any firefighter, the
excess benefits are paid from the FPF of the city employing the member on March 1, 1970.
All members are retired and drawing benefits. Benefit terms provide for cost-of-living adjustments to each member's
retirement benefit. There are two types of increases: escalation by salary in proportion to the current salary of the
rank from which the firefighter retired, or an increase proportionate to the increase in the Seattle -area CPI, with the
change computed annually. Regardless of the increase (or decrease) in the CPI, the benefits are increased at least
2% each year. The former applies to firefighters who retired from service after 1969, their survivors, and to
firefighters who retired for duty disability (but not their sur vivors) after 1961. The latter applies to all other types of
monthly benefits.
81
Contributions
As long as the FPF provides for benefits to covered members, the City will be eligible to receive a share of the
State's distribution of the fire insurance premium taxes. The amount the City receives is 25% of all monies received
by the State from taxes on fire insurance premiums. Contributions can also come from taxes paid pursuant to the
provisions of RCW 41.16.060. This statute require that each municipality levy up to $0.45 (only $0.225 of which can
be in excess of the property tax limit pursuant to RCW 84.52.043) per $1,000 of assessed valuation, based on
reports by a qualified actuary, to maintain the fund.
The actuarial assumptions were provided by an independent actuary.
Investments
It is the policy of the City of Tukwila to invest public funds in a manner that will provide maximum security with the
highest investment return while meeting the daily cash flow demands of the City, while conforming to all state and
local statutes governing the investment of public funds.
The money-weighted rate of return expresses investment performance, net of investment expense, adjusted for the
changing amount actually invested.
Concentrations: Approximately 70% of investments are in a long-term government bond.
City’s Net Pension Liability
The components of the City's net pension liability at December 31, 2019 are as follows:
Total pension liability $ 1,176,763

TOTAL $ 57,623
Actuarial Assumptions
The total pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of December 31, 2019, using the following
actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement:
Inflation 2.50%
Salary increases 3.71%
Investment rate of return 3.71%
Healthy life mortality rates were based on the RP-2014 mortality table, total dataset, fully generational projected
with Scale MP-2014, set back one year for males and set forward one year for females. Disabled life mortality rates
were based on the RP-2014 mortality table, total dataset, fully generational projected with Scale MP-2014, set back
two years for males and females.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments assumption was based on the nature and mix
of current and expected pension plan assets over a period of time representative of the expected length of time
between the first day of service and date of the last benefit payment.
84
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 3.71%. The projection of cash flows used to
determine the discount rate assumed City contributions were equal to the actuari ally calculated contribution of a
10-year closed amortization of the unfunded actuarial liability as of January 1, 2014 plus assumed administrative
expenses. This amount includes revenue received from Fire Insurance premiums . Based on this assumption, the
pension plan’s fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments for
current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied
to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.
Sensitivity of the net pension liability to changes in the discount rate. The following presents t he Firemen’s net
pension liability of the City, calculated using the discount rate of 3.71%, as well as what the net pension liability
would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is 1 -percentage-point lower, 2.71%, or 1-percentage point
higher, 4.71%, than the current rate:

Plan Description
The City of Tukwila's LEOFF Plan 1 (the Plan) is a single-employer defined-benefit healthcare plan administered
by the City. The Plan provides medical, prescription drug, dental, Medicare Part B premiums, long-term care, and
vision expenses for LEOFF 1 retirees. The Plan does not cover dependent spouses an d children. The Plan does
not issue a separate standalone financial report.
Benefits Provided
As mandated by RCW 41.26, RCW 41.18, and RCW 41.20, the City reimburses 100% of allowable healthcare costs
for LEOFF 1 retirees. All firefighters and law e nforcement officers employed between 3/1/1970 and 10/31/1977 are
members of a single employer defined benefit OPEB plan and are provided lifetime insurance coverage for medical,
hospital and nursing care costs. These benefits are accounted for in Police and Fire Pension and Relief Funds and
are considered, in substance, a postemployment healthcare plan administered by, but not part of, the Police an d
Fire Pension Plans. Extraordinary health and dental expenses, as determined by the Pension Board, require pr ior
approval. Insurance policies for this benefit are underwritten as part of the City’s overall insurance program. The
LEOFF l OPEB plans are closed to new entrants.
88
The City pays a monthly insurance premium to the Employee Health Care Fund for each r etiree. The premium is
less for Medicare age retirees, and the City reimburses retirees for the Medicare premiums. Medicare is the primary
payer for retirees age 65 and over, and Cigna Administrators pays claims for retirees under age 65. The members’
necessary hospital, medical, and nursing care expenses not payable by workers’ compensation, Medicare, or
insurance provided by another employer, are covered.
Employees Covered by Benefit Terms
At December 31, 2017 (the census date), the following employees were covered by the benefit terms:
Contributions
The plan is funded on a pay-as-you-go basis and there are no assets accumulated in a qualifying trust.
The authority to establish and amend benefits is determined by the LEOFF board.
Net OPEB Liability
The City’s net OPEB liability was measured as of December 31, 2018, and the total OPEB liability used to calculate
the net OPEB liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of December 31, 2017.
Assumptions and Other Inputs
The total OPEB liability in the December 31, 2018 actuarial valuation was determined using the following actuarial
assumptions, applied to all periods included in the measurement, unless otherwise specified:
Measurement Date: December 31, 2017 December 31, 2018
Discount Rate 3.25%3.71%
Inflation 2.50%2.50%
Healthcare Cost Trend Rates 6.50%6.00%
Salary Increases n/a n/a
Healthcare cost trend rates were 6.50% in the first year, trending down to 3.84% over 57 years. Mortality rates were
based on tables from the Society of Actuaries.
• Projections of the sharing benefit-related costs are based on an established pattern of practice.
• Experience studies come from the State of Washington.
• Inactive employees (retirees) pay 0% of the cost of benefits.
• There were no adhoc postemployment benefit changes (including as hoc COLAs) to the plan.
The discount rate used to measure the total OPEB liability is 3.71%. The City's OPEB Plan is an unfunded plan,
therefore the discount rate was set to the rate of tax-exempt, high-quality 20-year municipal bonds, as of the
valuation date.
Inactive employees or beneficiaries currently receiving benefits 34
Inactive employees entitled to but not yet receiving benefits 0
Active employees 0

NOTE 10 – LONG-TERM LIABILITIES
Governmental Activities Long-Term Debt
General Obligation Bonds are direct obligations of the City for which its full faith and cred it are pledged. Debt
service for voter-approved issues, of which the City has one, are funded by special property tax levies. Debt service
for City Council authorized bonds, also called councilmanic bonds, is funded from regular property taxes, sales
taxes, or other general revenues, and is generally paid from debt service funds. The City currently maintains a
rating of Aa3 from Moody’s Investor Service and AA+ from Standard & Poor’s.
General Obligation Bonds outstanding at year-end are as follows:
•2008 LTGO bonds were issued to refund the remaining debt of the 1999 LTGO bonds. The 1999 LTGO
bonds were issued to purchase an additional City Hall Annex (6300 building) and economic revitalization
projects.
•2010 LTGO bonds were issued for the construction and realignment of Southcenter Parkway in the Tukwila
South Annexation area and for the cost of emergency preparedness capital and other equipment.
•2011 LTGO refunding bonds were issued to refund a portion of the bonds issued in 2003 for the City’s Arterial
Street program.
•2014 LTGO bonds were issued to fund the purchase of land acquisition and capital costs of redevelopmen t
activities within the City’s Tukwila International Boulevard (TIB) urban renewal area.
•2015 LTGO bonds were issued to pay for improvements to Interurban Avenue South and reconstruct or
retrofit Boeing Access Road Bridge.
•2016 UTGO bonds in the amount of $32.99 million were issued after voters approved a $77.385 million bond
measure that will fund a justice center, rebuild 3 fire stations and provide fire apparatus and life-safety
equipment replacement for 20 years.
•2017 LTGO bonds were issued to fund residential street improvements including adding sidewalks and
undergrounding utilities on 42nd and 53rd Avenues.
91
• 2018 LTGO bonds were issued to fund the purchase of land in order to consolidate the Public Works function
at one location.
• 2019 LTGO bonds were issued to fund the purchase of land and improvements in order to consolidate the
Public Works function at one location and to also fund construction of the new Justice Center and fire stations
as part of the Public Safety Plan.
• 2019 UTGO bonds were issued to fund construction of the new Justice Center and fire stations as part of the
Public Safety Plan.
Direct borrowings and direct placements have terms negotiated directly with the investor or lender and are not
offered for public sale. The following General Obligation bonds are direct borrowings or direct placements:
• 2013 LTGO bonds were issued and th e proceeds loaned to the Tukwila Metropolitan Park District to pay for
improvements to the pool.
• 2017 refunding bond was issued to pay off the 2014 general obligatio n bond in the form of a line-of-credit that
was utilized to purchase property and pay for capital costs of redevelopment activities within the City’s Urban
Renewal area.
Special assessment bonds are issued to finance construction of local improvement district (LID) projects and are
repaid through assessments collected from property owners benefiting from related improvements. Although the
bonds are secured by liens against assessed properties, the City is required under state law to establish a guaranty
fund to provide a means of paying LID bond debt service obligations in the event there are insufficient resources in
the LID debt service fund. The special assessment bonds are not general obligation debt, but the City is obligated
in some manner to cover the interest on the bonds. Therefore, the bonds are reported as Special Assessment Debt
with Governmental Commitment.
Special assessments outstanding at year-end are as follows:
• 2013 special assessment bonds LID No. 33 were issued to reimburse the C ity for a portion of the costs of a
major reconstruction of Klickitat and Southcenter Parkway to improve access to the urban center.
Business-Type Activities Long-Term Debt
Revenue bond indebtedness issued to fund proprietary activities is recorded in proprietary funds. Debt service
payments are made from operating revenues generated by the proprietary funds. In proprietary funds, bonds are
displayed net of unamortized premium or discount; annual interest expense is decreased by amortization of debt
premium and increased by the amortization of debt discount. The City currently does not maintain a rating from
any of the rating agencies because the outstanding revenue bonds are a direct placement.
Revenue bonds outstanding at year-end are as follows:
• 2015 water/sewer/SWM bonds were issued to refund the remaining debt of the 2006 revenue bonds. The
bonds were issued to provide neighborhood revitalization to Allentown and Fost er Point Sewer system.
State of Washington Public Works Trust Fund Loans are a low interest rate loans available from the State of
Washington Department of Commerce, Local Government & Infrastructure Division for qualifying projects and are
a direct responsibility of the City. This debt is repaid by proprietary fund re venues.
Public Works Trust Fund loans outstanding at year-end are as follows:
92
Public Works Trust Fund loans outstanding at year-end are as follows:
• 2003 loan to install new sewers in the Duwamish neighborhood. The project upgraded water and surface
water infrastructure.
• 2004 loan to install new water, sewer, and surface water infrastructure in Allentown and Foster Point
neighborhoods. Additionally, 2 new sewer lift stations with generators, 33 manholes and catch basins, and
15 new fire hydrants were installed.
• 2004 loan constructed an underground collection system in the Cascade View neighborhood.
• 2014 loan to install sewer liners in the City’s commercial business district of Southcenter. Relining the sewer
main avoids full excavation for a significant savings and has minimal impact to the roadway.
The City is in compliance with all Washington State debt limitation statutes and bond indenture agreements.
The schedules that follow summarize the long-term debt transactions of the City for the year ended December 31,
2018.

2009 SCORE intergovernmental debt. The special assessment debt is liquidated from assessments collected
annually from property owners within boundaries of Local Improvement District #33. The 2009 SCORE debt was
paid by SCORE from user fees.

Debt Limit Capacities
State law provides that debt cannot be incurred in excess of the following percentages of the value of the taxable
property of the City: 1.5% without a vote of the people; 2.5% with a vote of the people; 5.0% with a vote of the
people, provided the indebtedness in excess of 2.5% is for utilities; 7 .5% with a vote of the people, provided the
indebtedness in excess of 5.0% is for parks or open space development.
At December 31, 2019, the debt limits for the City were as follows:

-------------With a Vote of the People----------
Prior Year Defeasance of Debt
In 2015, the City defeased water and sewer bonds by placing the proceeds of the new bonds in an irrevocable trust
account to provide for all future debt service payments on the old bonds. Accordingly, the trust account assets and
the liability for the defeased bonds are not included in the City’s financial statements. At December 31, 2019,
$1,569,600 of the defeased bonds were outstanding.
Long-term Liabilities other than debt Claims are paid from one or more funds based on the nature of the transaction. Employees’ compensable leave is
the City’s liability for all unused vacation, 25% of unused sick leave and unpaid overtime accrued by employees
and, payable under specified conditions. This obligation is paid only at the time of termination, usually from the
same funding source(s) from which the employee’s salary or wage compensation was paid. The City does not report a liability for termination benefits because it is not reasonably estimable.
Local Improvement District No. 33 Tukwila Urban Access Improvement Project Local Improvement District (LID) No. 33 was formed on November 16,
2009 by Ordinance No. 2260. The project was designed to improve congestion within the City’s Urban Center. The
project included a partial lid over Southcenter Parkway, removal of conflicting turning movements, and the widening
of Southcenter Parkway.
Construction for the project began in March 2011 and was completed in October 2011. The project was closed out
and accepted as complete by City Council on February 19, 2013.
A variety of funding sources were used to pay for the project including federal and state grants, impact fees, City
funds, a right-of-way donation, and special assessments. The City chose to fund the project internally, rather than
obtain external, short-term financing then apply special assessments to property owners after the project was
completed. Fund 104 Arterial Streets, where the project was accounted for, loaned the project funds as needed
using a draw method at an interest rate of 1.80%. This loan was repaid in 2013 when special assessment bonds
were issued.
The City confirmed the assessment roll with a final assessment of $9,475,894. The prepayment period for the
special assessments was open in the fall of 2013 and during that time the City received $2,788,350 in prepayments.
Once the prepayment window closed, the City issued bonds for the remaining outstanding assessments in the
amount of $6,687,500. From these proceeds, the City deposited $515,266 to the guaranty fund. The sixth of 15
annual installments for the assessments was due by October 16, 2019.
97
As of December 31, 2019, the amount of LID Special Assessments that were delinquent was $1,243. During 2019,
five property owners chose to pay the assessment in full. Because of the additional principal payments received,
the City has enough funds in the LID No. 33 funds to meet debt service requirements in 2020.
Estimated Arbitrage Rebate
The Federal Tax Reform Act of 1986 requires issuers of tax-exempt debt of over $5 million to make payments to
the United States Treasury of investment interest received at yields that exceed the issuer's tax-exempt borrowing
rates. Payments of arbitrage rebate amounts due under these regulations must be made to the U.S. Treasury
every five years. The City's estimated rebatable arbitrage amount as of December 31, 2019 is $0 for its tax-
exempt bond issues subject to the Tax Reform Act.
Unused Lines of Credit
2017 refunding bond was issued to pay off the 2014 general obligation bond in the form of a line-of-credit that was
utilized to purchase property and pay for capital costs of redevelopment activities within the City’s Urban Renewal
area. This is the City’s only line of credit and there is no portion of this line of credit that is unused.
Terms Specified in Debt Agreements
The City’s bonds are not subject to acceleration upon the event of default. The City is liable for principal and interest
payments only as they become due. There are no termination events or events of default specified in the debt
agreements that would have financial consequences.

NOTE 12 – POTENTIAL POLLUTION REMEDIATION AND OTHER LIABILITIES
There are several lawsuits in which the City is involved. The City Attorney estimates that the potential claims against
the City to have no material financial impact.
The City of Tukwila is expected to share in potential liability under the Comprehensive Environmental Re sponse,
Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”) for sediment contamination within the Lower Duwamish Waterway
Superfund site. In 2014, the Environmental Protection Agency estimated the total cost for the waterway cleanup to
be $342 million with as many as 120 or more parties sharing in the liability. While it is not possible to provide an
estimate of the City’s potential CERCLA liability at this time, the relatively small size of the City’s storm water system
within the Lower Duwamish Waterway Superfund s ite area, as well as the City’s recent ownership of the system,
which began in 1989, means the City’s share of liability should be low compared to other liable parties. A multi-
year confidential process to allocate Duwamish Waterway cleanup costs is being undertaken by the major liable
parties. Once that process is completed and communicated to the City, which could occur in 2020, the City will be
in a better position to estimate its potential liability for cleanup costs within the Lower Duwamish Waterw ay
Superfund site.
NOTE 13 – RISK MANAGEMENT
The City of Tukwila is a member of the Washington Cities Insurance Authority (WCIA).
Utilizing Chapter 48.62 RCW (self-insurance regulation) and Chapter 39.34 RCW (Interlocal Cooperation Act), nine
cities originally formed WCIA on January 1, 1981. WCIA was created for the purpose of providing a pooling
mechanism for jointly purchasing insurance, jointly self-insuring, and / or jointly contracting for risk management
services. WCIA has a total of 163 members.
New members initially contract for a three-year term, and thereafter automatically renew on an annual basis. A
one-year withdrawal notice is required before membership can be terminated. Termination does not relieve a former
member from its unresolved loss history incurred during membership.
Liability coverage is written on an occurrence basis, without deductibles. Coverage includes general, automobile,
police, errors or omissions, stop gap, employment practices and employee benefits liability. Limit s are $4 million
per occurrence in the self-insured layer, and $16 million in limits above the self-insured layer is provided by
reinsurance. Total limits are $20 million per occurrence subject to aggregates and sublimits. The Board of Directors
determines the limits and terms of coverage annually.
Insurance for property, automobile physical damage, fidelity, inland marine, and boiler and machinery coverage are
purchased on a group basis. Various deductibles apply by type of coverage. Property coverage is self-funded from
the members’ deductible to $750,000, for all perils other than flood and earthquake, and insured above that to $300
million per occurrence subject to aggregates and sublimits. Automobile physical damage coverage is self -funded
from the members’ deductible to $250,000 and insured above that to $100 million per occurrence subject to
aggregates and sublimits.
In-house services include risk management consultation, loss control field services, and claims and litigation
administration. WCIA contracts for certain claims investigations, consultants for personnel and land use issues,
insurance brokerage, actuarial, and lobbyist services.
WCIA is fully funded by its members, who make annual assessments on a prospectively rated basis, as determined
by an outside, independent actuary. The assessment covers loss, loss adjustment, reinsurance and other
administrative expenses. As outlined in the interlocal, WCIA retains the right to additionally assess the membership
for any funding shortfall.
An investment committee, using investment brokers, produces additional revenue by investment of WCIA’s assets
in financial instruments which comply with all State guidelines.
99
A Board of Directors governs WCIA, which is comprised of one designated representative from each member. The
Board elects an Executive Committee and appoints a Treasurer to provide general policy direction for the
organization. The WCIA Executive Director reports to the Executive Committee and is responsible for conducting
the day to day operations of WCIA.
The City insures its buildings, equipment, and vehicle property insurance with WCIA. They self -fund up to $250,000
with standard property insurance purchased above that amount. Traveler’s insures boiler machinery and provides
for employee dishonesty coverage.
The City has a Risk Management and a Safety Committee to oversee risk management. In addition, the WCIA
provides support for a proactive risk analysis program and a loss control manual.
There were no significant reductions in insurance coverage in the past year. During the year under audit and in the
past three years, no settlement has exceeded insurance coverage.
The City self-insures for unemployment benefits. This is a budgeted expenditure each year and the City paid
$18,272 in unemployment in 2019. This expense is budgeted in the Finance Department within the general fund
and Foster Golf Course, and enterprise fund. N o reserves are allocated because of the limited liability and historical
cost.
The City also self-insures for medical, dental and other health care benefits. A third-party administrator, Healthcare
Management Administrators, Inc., provides claims administration. The City has a stop-loss policy with Symetra
which provides an individual limit of $175,000. Each fund contributes an appropriate amount each year to pay
premiums and claims. Liabilities include an actuarially determined amount for claims that have been incurred but
not reported (IBNR’s) and a contingency reserve equal to 2.5 times the IBNR liability.
The IBNR liability is estimated by blending two actuarial methods. The first method is the claim-ladder development
method. This method calculates the IBNR by estimating monthly incurred claims based on the historical pattern of
claim lag experienced by the City and the claim lag triangles of the City. The second method is
the Claims Per Member Per Month (PMPM) Trended Method. This calculates an average PMPM claims cost for
claims not yet paid based on patterns of claims costs that have been recently incurred. Knowledge of external forces
that may affect future health care trends also impact the result of the calculation, along with general actuarial
judgement.
The following table reflects changes in the balances of claims liabilities for 2019 and 2018.

NOTE 14 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In early 2020, the spread of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused a global pandemic. Along from the dire
public health aspects, there were also serious economic consequences. The response to the pandemic included
stay-at-home orders from the governor of the State of Washington and a declaration of emergency by the mayor of
the City of Tukwila.
Mandatory business closures will have a severe impact on the City’s revenue stream in 2020 as sales tax revenue
is the City’s largest revenue stream. As a result, the City’s administration is endeavoring to reduce costs in order
to soften the economic impact of lost revenue to the City.
On June 24, 2020, the City issued its Limited Tax General Obligation Refunding Bond, 2020 in the aggregate
principal amount of $1,995,000. The bond was issued under the Ordinance No. 2630 to defease and refund the
City's outstanding Limited Tax General Obligation Bonds, 2010B.

NOTES TO REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
The City of Tukwila budgets its funds in accordance with the Revised Code of Washington 35 A.33. In compliance
with the code, biennial budgets are adopted for the general fund and special revenue funds. For governmental
funds, there are no substantial differences between the budgetary basis and generally accepted accounting
principles. Budgetary accounts are integrated in fund ledgers for all budgeted funds, but the financial statements
include budgetary comparisons for biennially budgeted governmental funds only. Budgets established for
proprietary and fiduciary funds are “management budgets” and are not legally required to be reported and, as such,
are not reported in the CAFR.
The biennial appropriated budgets are adopted at the fund level and the budgets constitute the legal authority for
expenditures at that level. Subsidiary revenue and expenditure records are used to compare the budgeted amounts
with actual revenues and expenditures. As a management control device, the subsidiary ledgers monitor
expenditures for individual functions and activities by object class. Any unexpended appropriat ion balances lapse
at the end of the biennium.
The City of Tukwila’s budget procedures are mandated by RCW 35A.33. The steps in the budget process are as
follows:
1) Prior to November 1 on even numbered years, the Mayor submits a proposed budget to the City Council.
This budget is based on priorities established by the Council and estimates provided by the City
departments during the preceding months, and balanced with revenue estimates made by the Mayor.
2) The City Council conducts public hearings on the proposed budget in November and December.
3) The Council makes its adjustments to the proposed budget and adopts by ordinance a final balanced
budget no later than December 31.
4) The final operating budget as adopted is published and distributed within the fi rst month of the following
year. Copies of the budget are made available to the public.
The City Council must approve by ordinance any amendments that increase the total for the fund. Budget
amounts presented in the basic financial statements include both the original amounts and the final amended
budget as approved by the City Council.
Expenditure Categories
The information presented in the following required schedules was determined as part of the actuarial valuations
at the dates indicated.
