INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Committee of the Whole
FROM: David Cline, City Administrator
Vicky Carlsen, Finance Director
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: March 28, 2023 Updated April 18, 2023
SUBJECT: Financial Considerations Regarding Annexation to the Puget Sound Fire
Authority
ISSUE
The Council has asked staff to provide additional information on financial considerations
regarding annexation to the Puget Sound Fire Authority.
BACKGROUND
In 2022 the City made the decision to contract with the Puget Sound Fire Authority (PSRFA) for
the delivery of fire and EMS services in Tukwila. This decision was made based on a
community-driven process that included formal recommendations from the City’s Future of Fire
and EMS Services Community Advisory Committee. That group recommended annexation to
the PSRFA because of the high level of service the PSRFA is able to provide – above and
beyond what Tukwila was able to provide with an in-house Fire Department – and because of
the long-term financial sustainability of the provision of fire, EMS and other municipal services in
Tukwila. The City Council adopted the Advisory Committee’s recommendations, which the
Mayor also supported, and the City began contracting with the PSRFA on January 1, 2023 with
the goal of a formal annexation within two years. To access the report, visit
http://records.tukwilawa.gov/WebLink/ElectronicFile.aspx?docid=355066&dbid=1 .
OVERVIEW
Annexation into the RFA was the consensus of the 2021/2022 Future of Fire and EMS
Services Advisory Committee in order to ensure the long-term sustainability of
funding Fire and EMS services and to enhance Fire and EMS services in the City of
Tukwila
The Committee also understood that annexation would also provide the City a tool to
address structural funding gaps; annexation would allow the City to return to pre-
pandemic service levels
Annexation allows for a more equitable allocation of responsibility for funding fire
services as larger, more complex buildings pay a higher proportion of fire services
As a part of the adopted 2023/2024 biennial budget, the City anticipated lowering the
City’s property tax levy rate upon annexation in 2025
The 2024 Council will ultimately make the decision on what rate to levy as a part of the
2025/2026 budget, but the current adopted six-year plan includes the following
assumptions:
o Reduce property taxes levied by the City
o Return service levels to pre-pandemic levels
o In Q3 of 2023, initiate the long-term fiscal sustainability planning effort,
which includes the formation of an advisory committee of residents and other
19
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
stakeholders to be completed in Q2 of 2024 to provide long-term fiscal solutions
to the City Council in time to inform the 2025/2026 budget
The 2023/2024 adopted budget includes the following property tax rates in the six-year
plan:
The decision regarding the City’s 2025 property tax levy rate rests with the next Council.
Similarly, the PSRFA cannot predict its 2025 rate as it is dependent on a number of
factors, including the overall assessed value of every property in the RFA.
Because of these realities the City can only rely on 2023 numbers and the assumptions
referenced above to provide examples on the impacts to property owners.
While staff have provided an example below on impacts to one single-family property
below, it is important to remember that this is in 2023 dollars and that the Fire Benefit
Charge (FBC) is calculated on square footage and therefore is specific to the example
property below; a single-family home with less square footage than the example below
will pay less FBC.
The adopted six-year plan anticipates the following changes in property taxes with
annexation for a single-family homeowner with a current assessed value of $604,000
and square footage of 2,980 sq ft1 (in 2023 dollars):
A single-family homeowner with a home with an assessed value of $604,000 and square
footage of 2,890 sq ft would pay an additional $385 annually, approximately $32 more a
month to ensure Tukwila has:
1 Fire Benefit Charge (FBC) is based on square footage to ensure larger buildings that require more
resources to combat fires pay a larger share than smaller ones requiring less resources. Larger buildings
pay more FBC than smaller ones; actual FBC cost are calculated directly a property’s square footage.
2 Includes voter-approved Public Safety bond, approximately $309 for this specific single-family house.

UPDATE, APRIL 24, 2023 FINANCE & GOVERNANCE
The Council has asked for more information regarding the potential financial impacts of
annexation into the RFA.
Impacts to property owners:
Attached is a spreadsheet of various properties in Tukwila that shows, in 2023 dollars, what the
Fire Benefit Charge and RFA tax levy would be for the specific parcels. It also shows the City’s
current full levy rate, which includes the voter-approved bonds, the reduction should the 2024
City Council choose to levy the rate currently in the six-year financial plan and the difference
between today’s levy rate and the combined RFA levy, FBC and reduced City levy. This
information is for illustrative purposes only and is based on 2023 data, which is what is
available.
Property Tax Exemptions for Seniors, Persons with Disabilities and Disabled Veterans
From the brochure “State law provides a tax benefit program for senior citizens, disabled
persons, and veterans: property tax exemptions and property tax deferrals.
Under the exemption program, the value of your Washington State residence is frozen for
property tax purposes, and you become exempt from all excess and special levies and possibly
regular levies – resulting in a reduction in your property taxes. The exemption is available for
your primary residence and up to one acre of land. A mobile home may qualify, even if the land
where the mobile home is located is leased or rented.
Basic Qualifications
1. Annual household income under $58,423 (excluding VA disability compensation).
2. Own and occupy property as your principal residence for at least nine months per year, including nine months during 2019. 3. Are over the age of 61, disabled, or a veteran with at least an 80% total disability rating.
The Washington State Legislature recently passed a bill that will increase the household income
threshold in King County to $72,000, so more homeowners will be eligible for the exemption.
This will go into effect for the 2024 tax cycle based on 2023 income. Currently 211
homeowners in Tukwila are enrolled in the program.
Considerations for the 2024 Council:
As has been discussed, the 2023/2024 biennial City budget is balanced. The 2025/2026 budget
process, which will take place in 2024, will determine the service levels for the next biennium,
which are directly tied to City revenues. Considerations the next Council will need to work
through include: 21
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 4
Recommendations from the long-term fiscal sustainability effort, which will be informed by
a professional firm selected through an RFQ process and a stakeholder advisory group
made up of residents, businesses and other interested parties
Community input and engagement on what service levels the Tukwila community desires
Outcome of the August 1, 2023 election
Weighing service levels with revenues; should the 2024 Council choose to reduce
revenues it will result in reduced service levels, which would likely include reduction of
staffing in many departments, including contracted services, and elimination of current
services to the community.

TAX EXEMPTIONS
Did you know? State law provides a tax benefit program for senior citizens, disabled persons,
and veterans: property tax exemptions and property tax deferrals.
Under the exemption program, the value of your Washington State residence is frozen for
property tax purposes, and you become exempt from all excess and special levies and possibly
regular levies – resulting in a reduction in your property taxes. The exemption is available for
your primary residence and up to one acre of land. A mobile home may qualify, even if the
land where the mobile home is located is leased or rented.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
• Annual household income under $58,423
(excluding VA disability compensation).
• Own and occupy property as your principal
residence for at least nine months per year,
including nine months during 2019.
• Are over the age of 61, disabled, or a veteran
with at least an 80% total disability rating.
For more information, contact the Assessor’s Office by phone or email.
206-296-3920, exemptions.assessments@kingcounty.gov
Are you a disabled veteran with a less than 80% VA disability rating?
You still might qualify under the disability qualification with the Proof of
Disability Statement from the Department of Assessments signed by your doctor
or your initial award letter from the Social Security Administration.
MOVING?
What if I move?
If you purchase a new home, condo or mobile home, you
may be able to transfer your exemption to the new property.
You would have to reapply and qualify for the exemption at
the new property. A new frozen value will be established for
the new property based on the new information.
What if my children help me with my monthly expenses?
We would not consider gifts from your children as income
but you would need to report the amount to us.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why does my IRS return AGI indicate that I am below $58,423 yet I am still denied
the exemption?
One reason may be that Federal tax law is not the same as the laws governing the Washington
State property tax relief program. While we use the IRS return as a starting point, we do consider
other sources of income that Federal law may not consider taxable.
Two examples of differences between Federal IRS laws and Washington State laws are:
• Under Federal IRS laws, Social Security Benefits may be completely excluded from your
taxable income, or may be considered partially taxable or fully taxable depending on your
individual circumstances.
For the Washington State property tax exemption program, we consider all of your social
security as income, so we must add back any amount that was excluded in the AGI calculation
on your federal return.
• Under Federal IRS laws, capital losses are an allowable deduction from any capital gains you
may have from your investments.
For the property tax exemption program, we do not allow any deductions of any capital losses.
Capital gains are added to the AGI calculation without any loss deduction. Both of these items
could result in your income exceeding the $58,423 income limit for the property tax exemption
program even though the AGI on your tax return is below $58,423.
RENEWALS
Will I need to reapply if I have already been approved for the exemption?
You will be required to reapply for the exemption at least once every 4 years. We will send
a renewal application when it is time for you to reapply. You will need to provide proof of
identification, ownership, and income data when you return the renewal form.
What happens if I fail to respond to a renewal request?
If you fail to return your renewal form and the necessary documents, you will be removed from
the program and you will begin paying the full tax amount based on your property’s current
market value.

and Disabled Veterans
If you meet all of the basic qualifications apply online here:
taxrelief.kingcounty.gov
What if I fail to send in my documents with my renewal request?
We will send you an email or letter requesting the missing information. You will have 30 days to
respond. If we still do not hear back you will receive a second notice, your exemption will be removed
and you will begin paying the full tax amount based on your property’s current market value.
FROZEN VALUES
What is a frozen value?
The market value of your home is “frozen” as of January 1st of the initial year you qualify for the
property tax exemption. For each year after your initial approval, you will be taxed on either the
frozen value or current market value if lower.
Can my original frozen value go higher?
Yes. If your home undergoes new construction or a remodel, say a new bedroom, the value for the
new addition or remodel is added to your frozen value. This new total will become your new frozen
taxable value.
INCOME
What if I am over the income limit for more than one year?
If your income has increased for more than one year, you will be removed from the exemption
program and will begin paying the higher tax rate on your property’s current market value. If, at some
point in the future, your income is again below the $58,423 limit, you can reapply to the program.
If you are off the program for more than one year, a new frozen value will be determined for the year
you reapply.
What if I have a change in income and it is not time for me to renew my application?
It is your obligation to let the Exemption Unit know when you have any life-altering situation
affecting your exemption, such as new income source or change in ownership. Please call us at
206-296-3920 or write to us so we can discuss the situation.
For example:
• If you reach 70.5 years of age, you may need to start drawing on your IRA or Annuity funds.
This could result in a change to your exemption level.
• If you lose a spouse or partner, this could result in a change in your exemption level.

• If you give all or a portion of your property to someone else, this could result
in a change in your exemption level.
• If in doubt about whether your changing circumstances could affect your
exemption level, please contact our office for assistance at 206-296-3920.
What happens if I have been on the program for several years and now do not qualify?
If your income goes over the $58,423 limit, you must be removed from the program for the one
year you do not qualify. You will pay the higher taxes on your current market value for that one
year. However, you may reapply the next year and may be reinstated at your original frozen value
if your income returns to a level below the $58,423 in that next year. You would only pay the
higher taxes for the one year that you do not qualify.
For example:
Your annual income goes over the $58,423 limit due to a one-time IRA disbursement. We will
remove you from the program for that year and you will pay your regular tax bill based on your
current market value. If your income returns to levels below the $58,423 limit, you can reapply
for the next tax year, return to the original frozen value and start receiving the reduction in taxes
again.
What do I do if I have no income or am extremely low income?
Even if you have no income, you are paying your expenses with some funding source. In many
cases seniors use reverse mortgages, receive funds from their children or use savings accounts
to pay their household expenses. While
these sources are not considered “income”
in the calculation of your disposable income,
they are a source of funds and you must
report the source and the amount to us.
It is acknowledged that there are inherent
costs to living and maintaining a home.
Items such as food, gas for the car and
utilities are paid at the very least.

THE APPLICATION PROCESS AND IRS QUESTIONS
What if I need assistance filing the online application or have questions about
the documentation you require?
Please call our office at 206-296-3920. We have experienced exemptions staff ready
and willing to assist you in completing your forms. They can also answer questions about
which documents you should provide.
Once I have applied for an exemption, when will I hear from your office?
We will send an email or letter notifying you that we have your application. Depending
on the current workload, you should receive another email or letter within 4-6 weeks.
This second message will state that you have: (1) been approved for an exemption;
(2) been denied the exemption (we will provide you with your appeal rights); or
(3) provided insufficient documentation and we still need more information.
Why do you want my IRS return?
Federal tax laws and the property tax relief laws are
different. However, we use the IRS return as a starting
point to calculate and verify your income and to
determine your exemption level.
What if I do not file an IRS return?
We will still need verification of your income sources.
We will request information such as bank deposits,
1099s, reverse mortgage information, social security
statements or other year-end statements that provide
information on how you pay your daily, monthly and
yearly expenses.

SUMMARY TMC chapter 9 explains proper vehicle parking, registration requirements, and
impoundment of vehicles within the City of Tukwila. This TMC is effective for public
roadway, right of way, and City owned property (buildings, their parking lots, City parks).
Parts of the TMC were legally challenged, and suspended as a result, due to previous
language. This updated TMC corrects that language in each section and how they relate to
one another, and updates the chapter 9 sections for relevance to present day issues.

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
{EFM2727195.DOCX;2/13175.000001/ }
TO: Community Services and Safety Committee
FROM: Police Chief Eric Drever
BY: Eric Hines
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: April 11, 2023
SUBJECT: Changes to Tukwila Municipal Code Title 9
ISSUE
The Police Department is seeking committee approval to repeal the existing chapter 9 Tukwila
Municipal Code and replace it with this updated version, attached for your review.
BACKGROUND
Tukwila Municipal Code chapter 9 explains proper vehicle parking, registration requirements,
and the impoundment of vehicle within the city limits. This TMC is effective for vehicles parked
on public roadways, right of way, and City owned property (buildings, their parking lots, City
parks). Parts of the TMC chapter 9 as it is currently written were challenged and those sections
discontinued for use as a result. This updated TMC corrects that language in each section and
how they relate to one another. All sections were examined and updated as needed to reflect
present day issues.
DISCUSSION
Tukwila Municipal Code chapter 9 is the single location in this City’s municipal code that lists the
current regulation regarding the parking of vehicles, violations for which a notice of infraction
can be issued, and the conditions under which vehicles can be impounded. One of the most
frequent issues complained about to PD from City residents in the parking of vehicles with
expired tabs upon the license plate. This section of the TMC was invalidated at a TMC trial due
to the wording of the original TMC utilizing “registration plate” instead of specific language
regarding a license plate. As a result, for the past several years this section of the TMC has not
been used, despite frequent complaints by citizens through the See Click Fix on-line reporting
portal. The original TMC also has a section regarding “residential parking permits” that have not
been issued in several years. These permits would allow citizens to park in areas prohibited by
posted no parking signs. This poses a safety problem as those no parking anytime signed
areas are posted to keep them clear of vehicles to allow line of sight of on-coming vehicles to
allow a safe entry into a roadway and avoidance of a collision.
TMC chapter 9 also covers impoundment of vehicles and specified a 24-hour time period for
waiting to impound abandoned vehicles. PD practice for many years now is to mark a vehicle
for impound but not to impound it until 72 hours have elapsed. When a vehicle is impounded
TMC chapter 9 specified the registered owner of the vehicle may request an impound hearing at
King County district court when for over a year now, such hearings take place at the Tukwila
Municipal Court.

memo 4-2023.docx
The revised TMC chapter 9 corrects the language regarding a vehicles license plate, corrects
the time limit for impoundment and the location of any requested hearing to reflect present
practice and location.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no financial impact by making changes to the Tukwila Municipal Code.
RECOMMENDATION
Request that the Committee approve the repeal of TMC ordinance chapter 9 as it now exists,
and replace it with the attached updated chapter 9 as proposed, and forward to the 5/8/2023
Council Of The Whole meeting and 5/15/23 Regular meeting.

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
{EFM2727195.DOCX;2/13175.000001/ }
TO: Community Services and Safety Committee
FROM: Police Chief Eric Drever
BY: Police Chief Eric Drever
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: April 13, 2023
SUBJECT: Sound Health Contracts For Co-Responder Program
ISSUE
The Tukwila Police Department is seeking committee approval to authorize the Mayor to sign
the two co-responder contracts with Sound Health.
BACKGROUND
In accordance with the City' s goals of a High-Performing & Effective Organization and a
Positive Community Identity & Image for all Tukwila community members, the Police
Department recognized that there was a need for collaboration of services when it comes to
mental health and chemical addiction issues within the City of Tukwila. Our objective was to
reduce the number of mentally ill and chemically dependent interventions that requires jail and
hospitalizations. We also recognized the need for diversion of mentally ill and chemically
dependent youth and adults from entering the criminal justice system. Co-responder programs
throughout the nation have been effective in reducing the number of people entering the
criminal justice system, while providing appropriate resources for their illness. The department
needs to provide services that provide the appropriate high-quality services for our community
members.
DISCUSSION
The Tukwila Police Department co-responder program is a collaborative approach designed to
address the City of Tukwila' s desire to ensure Tukwila' s mentally ill and chemically-
dependent community members have access to community treatment in lieu of incarceration for
non-violent misdemeanor offenses, where the individual is identified by officers and confirmed
by a co-responder to be demonstrating behaviors symptomatic of a mental disorder
and/ or co-occurring disorder (combining mental health behavioral disorders with substance use
disorders). The program accomplishes this goal by: 1) embedding mental health professionals
(aka co-responders) within the police department who respond to calls when officers ask for
professional (consultive) assistance by the MHP's; 2) working with and educating officers in
traditional methods employed by mental health professionals to de-escalate individuals
demonstrating behavioral health concerns as well as assist in providing support to identify
symptoms stemming from mental illness versus chemically altered behaviors; 3) ensuring
appropriate community services are accessed to facilitate diversion, including community after-
care services are available to individuals diverted from incarceration.

contracts Info memo 4-2023.docx
The program was first implemented as a pilot program in 2021 and has proven to be a great
asset for both the Police Department and the community. The Police Department and Sound
Health have since re-evaluated the program for funding and continuation of the program and
have decided to move forward with contracts for two co-responders. Contract for the current co-
responder will be good through December 31, 2024 and contract for the second co-responder,
who’s scheduled to start his employment on April 24, 2023, will be good through December 31,
2023.
To ensure coverage for every day of the week, the first co-responder will work from Wednesday
thru Saturday 12pm to 10pm while the second co-responder will work from Sunday thru
Wednesday from 12pm to 10pm.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The Tukwila Police Department will be utilizing federal forfeiture funds to pay for the current co-
responder in the amount of $102,000 per year through December 31, 2024. Since the second
co-responder will not start until April 24, 2023, his salary will be prorated from that start date and
will be calculated based on the salary of $102,000 per year. The Department will be utilizing a
grant to pay the second co-responder from April 24, 2023 through June 30, 2023, and the Police
Department funds from July 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. We will explore other
financing options to cover the second co-responder position beyond the end of 2023.
RECOMMENDATION
The Police Department would like to request the Committee to authorize the Mayor to sign the
two co-responder contracts and forward to the May 8, 2023 Council Of The Whole meeting and
May 15, 2023 Regular meeting.

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Finance & Governance Committee
FROM: Joel Bush, Chief Technology Officer
BY: Eric Compton, TIS Franchise Analyst
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: May 1st, 2023
SUBJECT: Private LTE / CBRS Proof of Concept Funding - Interlocal Agreement
Revision
ISSUE
TIS is seeking Council authorization to amend the recently adopted Interlocal Agreement with
the Washington State Department of Commerce.
BACKGROUND
On March 20th, 2023 the Mayor was authorized to sign an Interagency agreement with the
Washington State Department of Commerce, Broadband Office to deploy a Private LTE Proof of
Concept to fund the deployment of the Infrastructure with up to $1,000,000.
DISCUSSION
An additional $400,000 has been made available for the project which brings the total project
cost to $1,400,000. The funds cover the cost of the deployment, a contingency, and the
purchase 600 Private LTE compatible Chromebooks.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There will be limited financial impact in conducting the Private LTE network, but some staff time
will be required to determine connectivity of cellular sites to the City or network. In our current
discussions, the State Broadband Office will provide enough funds for all infrastructure and
three (3) years of spectrum license fees and managed services. Spectrum license and
managed service fees of $94,000 per year will need to be part of the 2025/2026 budget
discussions if Tukwila wishes to continue beyond the initial POC.
RECOMMENDATION
The Finance and Governance Committee is being asked to approve and forward to the
5/8/23 Committee of the Whole and Special Meeting Consent Agenda to authorize the Mayor
to sign the amended Interagency Agreement with the Washington State Department of
Commerce, Broadband Office.

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Committee of the Whole
FROM: Laurel Humphrey, Legislative Analyst
DATE: May 2, 2023
SUBJECT: Puget Sound Regional Fire Authority Annexation Pro and Con Committee
Appointments
ISSUE
On April 17, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution 2070 placing a proposition to annex
into the Puget Sound Regional Fire Authority on the August 1, 2023 ballot. The City Council
must now appoint members to the Pro and Con Committees who will write statements for the
voter’s pamphlet.
SUMMARY
Appointments are due to King County Elections on May 12, 2023. Each committee is limited
to three members, but the committee can have an unlimited number of people assist in
preparing the statements. The City received four submissions to be on the Pro Committee
and three to be on the Con Committee:
Pro Committee
Verna Seal, resident
I served as a city council member for 16 years where we worked on the issue of RFA and
annexation. I chaired many committees related to annexation over the last 18 years. I also
served on the recent RFA Advisory Committee. I feel I am qualified to serve on the PRO
committee for the upcoming PSFRA Annexation Proposition.
Jovita McConnell, resident
I am interested in being on the Pro Statement Committee for the PSRFA. I was on the Fire/EMS
Committee from November 2021 - May 2022. After 10 meetings and reviewing nine options - I
am in full support of the annexation into PSRFA. As a member of the Fire/EMS Committee I
would like to support this effort all the way through.
James Booth, PSRFA
I am requesting to be considered as a member of the Pro Committee for the upcoming RFA
Annexation. I have served the City of Tukwila for 14 years as a Firefighter and am active in the
community having organized many charitable efforts that have improved the lives and safety
of this community. My professional qualifications will help the committee share accurate and
important information for this decision. I hold a Certificate in Fire Science, Associates in Fire
Administration, and Bachelors in Emergency Services Management. I am also enrolled in the

INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
National Fire Academy's Managing Officer Program and recently completed the Officer
Development Academy through the King County Fire Chiefs Association. I am also an
accredited Fire Officer through the Center for Public Safety Excellence. As a Vice President of
the Firefighters Union representing 365 members, I have the support and resources necessary
to connect with the community about the many service level improvements that Puget Sound
RFA has to offer the Tukwila community.
Sally Blake, resident
Please consider me for the " Pro" Committee for annexation into the Puget Sound Fire
Authority. I was on the Fire Advisory Committee, have owned a home in Tukwila since 1979,
and am a retired City of Tukwila firefighter.
Con Committee
Peggy McCarthy, resident
I am requesting to be placed on the Con Committee for the upcoming PSRFA annexation
vote. I am a long-time City of Tukwila resident; I served the City as Deputy Finance Director
for three years from 2008-2011 and as Finance Director for seven years from 2012 to mid -
2019. More recently, I was a member of the Fire Advisory Committee. I feel strongly that
annexation is a mistake. There is nothing for the City to gain and there is a lot for the City to
lose. Please place me on the Con Committee.
Diane Myers, resident
I would like to be on the con committee for the upcoming ballot measure. I am a long time
resident that feels giving up control of our fire department is not in the best interest of the
residents and businesses in tukwila.
Sharon Mann, resident
I am requesting to be considered for placement on the Con Committee for the upcoming
PSRFA annexation vote. Having done a fair amount of research when this was brought up
years ago I feel I have valuable information to share. I am a long time and involved resident of
Tukwila. I have served on the original annexation team for the Riverton annexation years ago.
Since then served on the citizen advisory to the Valley View Sewer District. I have served o n
the tree committee. Currently serving on the Planning Commission. I feel strongly that the
RFA annexation is a financial and service mistake in the interest of the Tukwila resident. The
residents will retain the same service (or less) at a much higher cost to them plus very little
local input to the governing body. In addition, the RFA is an unregulated taxing body, making
it very likely residents will see an increase in property taxes. Please place me on the Con
Committee for the PSRFA Annexation.
RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is asked to appoint members to the Pro and Con Committees on May 8, 2023
in order to meet the May 12 deadline.
