Resolution for Sole- Source Purchase
ISSUE
Authorize the sole- source purchase of lift station control systems from Calvert Technical
Services, Inc.
BACKGROUND
The City currently has 10 sewer lift stations and 5 storm lift stations. Starting in 1995, Public
Works converted all alarm functions, pump control logic, radio communication, and data logging
functions to one specific type of panel for operational consistency at all lift stations. These
configurations were built and supported by Calvert Technical Services, Inc.
We are in the process of upgrading the Allentown storm pump station #18 to expand, relocate
and rebuild to meet drainage and discharge requirements. Installing the same control panel that
is used at all of the other stations is critical to maintaining interoperability and system efficiency.
The radio units must also be the same in order to transmit data to the data logging computer
base station at Minkler Shops.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to approve this resolution for sole- source purchasing of lift station
control systems from Calvert Technical Services, Inc. and consider this item at the August 10,
2009 Committee of the Whole meeting and subsequent August 17, 2009 Regular meeting.

In the past, Starfire Sports utilized reclaimed water to irrigate the softball fields which were located
at Fort Dent Park. With the addition of a new soccer field and landscaped areas in the northern
portion of the park, they would like to expand the use to reclaimed water to that area.
King County Department of Natural Resources requires a formal user agreement for the distribution
of reclaimed water to ensure compliance for distribution. The City of Tukwila is responsible for the
service, metering and billing of the reclaimed water. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD

Reclaimed Water Service Use Agreement with Starfire Sports
ISSUE
Implement an end -user agreement for Starfire Sports to expand their use of reclaimed water for
irrigation.
BACKGROUND
Tukwila continues to be on the leading edge of water reuse in King County. For the past few
years, Tukwila and King County have discussed the potential for using reclaimed water at
Foster Golf Links and Fort Dent Park during the peak irrigation season. Starfire is seeking to
expand their use of reclaimed water for the new north soccer field area. They have already used
reclaimed water with the old softball fields. King County DNR must have end user agreements
in place to ensure compliance with their Department of Ecology permit for the distribution of
reclaimed water. Tukwila conveys the service and does the metering and billing. Rates for the
end -user are 80% of the most current potable water rates.
ANALYSIS
Cascade Water Alliance endorses and encourages Tukwila to utilize supplemental sources
which serves to lessen the impact on developing new water sources. Reclaimed water is now a
key part of Tukwila's Water Comprehensive System Plan to help meet supply and conservation
goals required as part of the new Municipal Water Law put into effect last year by the
Washington State Department of Health. The attached end -user agreement with Starfire will
expand their use of reclaimed water for irrigation.

The Council is being asked to approve and endorse this Reclaimed Water Service and Use
Area Agreement with Starfire Sports and consider this item at the August 10, 2009 Committee

ISSUE
The City needs to sign an Interlocal agreement in order to continue to participate in the Valley
Narcotics Enforcement Team (VNET).
BACKGROUND
City of Tukwila
INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
Mayor Haggerton
Finance and Safety Committee
Jim Haggerton, Mayor
The multi jurisdictional VNET has been in existence for many years, the members of which are
Auburn, Federal Way, Kent, Renton, Tukwila, and the Port of Seattle. The team works with
DEA on mid to high level narcotic investigations. The team concept has resulted in more
effective pooling of personnel, improved utilization of funds, reduced duplication of equipment,
improved training, development of specialized expertise, and increased capacity to investigate
and enforce narcotic crimes. The team is currently functioning with a mutual aid understanding
and without an Interlocal agreement.
DISCUSSION
Team objectives, duration of the agreement, governance, staff, equipment, training, financial
issues, and legal concerns are all critical issues that need to be defined and agreed upon by the
participants. Therefore, the agencies have drafted and are proposing the attached Interlocal
Cooperative Agreement between Auburn, Federal Way, Kent, Renton, Tukwila, and the Port of
Seattle for the Valley Narcotics Enforcement Team.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to consider this item at the August 10, 2009 Committee of the Whole
meeting and subsequent August 17, 2009 Regular Meeting.

INTERLOCAL COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT BETWEEN
AUBURN, FEDERAL WAY, KENT, RENTON, TUKWILA, AND
THE PORT OF SEATTLE, FOR THE
VALLEY NARCOTICS ENFORCEMENT TEAM
I. PARTIES
The parties to this agreement are the cities of Auburn, Kent, Renton,
Tukwila, Port of Seattle, and Federal Way.
The Valley Narcotics Enforcement Team is assigned to the Drug
Enforcement Administration (DEA) Task Force.
II. AUTHORITY
This Agreement is entered into pursuant to Chapters 10.93, 39.34, and
53.08 of the Revised Code of Washington.
III. PURPOSE
The parties desire to establish and maintain a multi jurisdictional team to
effectively investigate and enforce the laws relating to controlled substances.
IV. FORMATION
There is hereby established a multi jurisdictional team to be hereafter known
as the Valley Narcotics Enforcement Team "VNET the members of which
shall be the cities of Auburn, Kent, Renton, Tukwila, Port of Seattle and Federal
Way. VNET has been in existence for some time and this Agreement
establishes an Inter -local Agreement between the listed jurisdictions. The future
admission or elimination of a jurisdiction as a member of VNET may be
accomplished by an addendum to this agreement.
V. STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
The municipalities within the Puget Sound area have experienced an
increase in urbanization, and in population densities. The ability to address
drug abuse and the crimes associated to controlled substances has stretched
the resources of individual police department specialty units.
Law enforcement efforts directed at dealing with narcotic issues have, for the
most part, been conducted by law enforcement agencies working independently.
A multi jurisdictional effort to handle specific and complicated narcotic
investigations will result in more effective pooling of personnel, improved
utilization of funds, reduced duplication of equipment, improved training,
development of specialized expertise, and increased utilization /application of a
combined narcotic enforcement team. The results will be improved services for
all of the participating entities, increased safety for officers and the community,
and improved cost effectiveness.
Valley Narcotics Enforcement Team Interlocal Agreement 1

Valley Narcotics Enforcement Team Interlocal Agreement 3
June 17, 2009
The Board shall be responsible for purchasing VNET equipment. Property
purchased using VNET funds or forfeited property shall remain the property of
the VNET unless the Board transfers it to a participating jurisdiction. The Board
will insure a record of the transaction is maintained. The Board must approve
any joint capital expenditure for VNET equipment of $1,500.00 or more.
Approval for capital expenditures of less than $1,500.00 may be authorized by
the VNET Chair.
XI. FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS
VNET utilizes a Fiscal Agent for all account transactions and accounting.
One of the participating jurisdictions will fulfill the responsibility of Fiscal Agent.
The VNET operating budget relies primarily on three (3) funding sources:
State and Federal Grants, the participating agencies, and the VNET assets
forfeited at the state and federal levels.
Federal Grant funds are administered by the state and follow the state
budget cycle of July 1 through June 30 of the following year. VNET shall
request monthly reimbursements of expenses until the awarded amount is
exhausted. Once the Federal Grant has been exhausted, forfeited assets will
be used to pay expenses for the remainder of the budget cycle.
VNET shall prepare a budget each year that estimates the grant funds
available, and each participating agency shall provide VNET with the annual
cost to assign an officer or other approved personnel to the unit. An agency's
annual contribution is then divided by twelve (12) and credited towards the
monthly salary and benefits of the agency's participating personnel. All other
expenses are paid for by VNET utilizing either Grant funds or forfeited assets.
The Board shall agree upon a date each year by which time it will notify the
participating agencies of each agencies' expected contribution.
The DEA contribution to VNET includes providing office space, storage
space, parking, and phone service at no cost.
XII. DISTRIBUTION OF SEIZURE FUNDS
The VNET Board provides oversight of seized and forfeited assets via the
Fiscal Agent. Forfeited assets may be distributed to participating agencies when
deemed appropriate by the Board. The Board will endeavor to maintain
adequate financial resources to fund ongoing operations of the VNET.
XIII. DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS UPON TERMINATION
Upon termination of the VNET, each participating jurisdiction shall retain sole
ownership of the equipment purchased and provided to its participating VNET
members.
Any assets acquired with joint funds of the VNET shall be equally divided
among the participating jurisdictions at the asset's fair market value upon
termination. The value of the assets of the VNET shall be determined by using
Valley Narcotics Enforcement Team Interlocal Agreement 4
June 17, 2009
commonly accepted methods of valuation. If two (2) or more participating
jurisdictions desire an asset, the final decision shall be made by arbitration
(described below). Any property not claimed shall be declared surplus by the
Board and disposed of pursuant to state law for the disposition of surplus
property. The proceeds from the sale or disposition of any VNET property, after
payment of any and all costs of sale or debts of the agency, shall be equally
distributed to those jurisdictions participating in the VNET at the time of
dissolution. In the event that one (1) or more jurisdictions terminate their
participation in the VNET, but the VNET continues to exist, the jurisdiction
terminating participation shall be deemed to have waived any right or title to any
property owned by the VNET or to share in the proceeds at the time of
dissolution.
Arbitration pursuant to this section shall occur as follows:
a. The jurisdictions interested in an asset shall select one (1) person
(Arbitrator) to determine which agency will receive the property. If the
jurisdictions cannot agree to an Arbitrator, the chiefs of the jurisdictions
participating in the VNET upon dissolution shall meet to determine who
the Arbitrator will be. The Arbitrator may be any person not employed
by the jurisdictions that desire the property.
b. During a meeting with the Arbitrator, each jurisdiction interested in the
property shall be permitted to make an oral and /or written presentation
to the Arbitrator in support of its position.
c. At the conclusion of the presentation, the Arbitrator shall determine
which jurisdiction is to receive the property. The decision of the
Arbitrator shall be final and shall not be the subject of appeal or
review.
XIV. LIABILITY, HOLD HARMLESS, AND INDEMNIFICATION
It is the intent of the participating jurisdictions to provide services of the
VNET without the threat of being subject to liability to one another and to fully
cooperate in the defense of any claims or lawsuits arising out of or connected
with VNET actions that are brought against the jurisdictions. To this end, the
participating jurisdictions agree to equally share responsibility and liability for the
acts or omissions of their participating personnel when acting in furtherance of
this Agreement. In the event that an action is brought against any of the
participating jurisdictions, each jurisdiction shall be responsible for an equal
share of any award for or settlement of claims of damages, fines, fees, or costs,
regardless of which jurisdiction or employee the action is taken against or which
jurisdiction or employee is ultimately responsible for the conduct. The
jurisdictions shall share equally regardless of the number of jurisdictions named
in the lawsuit or claim or the number of officers from each jurisdiction named in
the lawsuit or claim. This section shall be subject to the conditions and
limitations set forth in subsections A through G below.
A. Jurisdiction Not Involved In VNET Resoonse. In the event that a
jurisdiction or its personnel were not involved in the VNET response to
the incident that gives rise to a claim or lawsuit, and judgment on the
claim or lawsuit does not, in any manner, implicate the acts of a particular
Valley Narcotics Enforcement Team Interlocal Agreement 5
June 17, 2009
jurisdiction or its personnel, such jurisdiction shall not be required to
share responsibility for the payment of the judgment or award.
B. Intentionally Wronaful Conduct Beyond the Scope of Employment.
Nothing herein shall require, or be interpreted to require indemnification
or sharing in the payment of any judgment against any VNET personnel
for intentionally wrongful conduct that is outside of the scope of
employment of any individual or for any judgment of punitive damages
against any individual or jurisdiction. Payment of any award for punitive
damages shall be the sole responsibility of the person or jurisdiction that
employs the person against whom such award is rendered.
C. Collective Representation and Defense. The jurisdictions may retain joint
legal counsel to collectively represent and defend the jurisdictions in any
legal action. Those jurisdictions retaining joint counsel shall share
equally the costs of such representation or defense.
In the event a jurisdiction does not agree to joint representation, the
jurisdiction shall be solely responsible for all attorneys fees accrued by its
individual representation or defense.
The jurisdictions and their respective defense counsel shall make a good
faith attempt to cooperate with other participating jurisdictions by,
including but not limited to, providing all documentation requested, and
making VNET members available for depositions, discovery, settlement
conferences, strategy meetings, and trial.
D. Removal From Lawsuit. In the event a jurisdiction or employee is
successful in withdrawing or removing the jurisdiction or employee from a
lawsuit by summary judgment, qualified immunity, or otherwise, the
jurisdiction shall nonetheless be required to pay its equal share of any
award for or settlement of the lawsuit; PROVIDED, however, that in the
event a jurisdiction or employee is removed from the lawsuit and
subsection (A) of this section is satisfied, the jurisdiction shall not be
required to pay any share of the award or settlement.
E. Settlement Process. It is the intent of this Agreement that the
jurisdictions act in good faith on behalf of each other in conducting
settlement negotiations on liability claims or lawsuits so that, whenever
possible, all parties agree with the settlement or, in the alternative, agree
to proceed to trial. In the event a claim or lawsuit requires the sharing of
liability, no individual jurisdiction shall be authorized to enter into a
settlement agreement with a claimant or plaintiff unless all jurisdictions
agree with the terms of the settlement. Any settlement made by an
individual jurisdiction without the agreement of the remaining jurisdictions,
when required, shall not relieve the settling jurisdiction from paying an
equal share of any final settlement or award.
Valley Narcotics Enforcement Team Interlocal Agreement 6
June 17, 2009
F. Defense Waiver. This section shall not be interpreted to waive any
defense arising out of RCW Title 51.
G. Insurance. The failure of any insurance carrier or self- insured pooling
organization to agree to or follow the terms of this section shall not relieve
any individual jurisdiction from its obligations under this Agreement.
XV. NOTICE OF CLAIMS, LAWSUITS, AND SETTLEMENTS
In the event a claim is filed or lawsuit is brought against a participating
jurisdiction or its employees for actions arising out of their conduct in support of
VNET operations, the jurisdiction shall promptly notify the other jurisdictions that
the claim or lawsuit has been initiated. Any documentation, including the claim
or legal complaints, shall promptly be provided to each participating jurisdiction.
Any jurisdiction or member who believes or knows that another jurisdiction
would be liable for a claim, settlement, or judgment that arises from a VNET
action or operation, shall have the burden of notifying each participating
jurisdiction of all claims, lawsuits, settlements, or demands made to that
jurisdiction. In the event a participating jurisdiction has a right, pursuant to
section XVI of this Agreement, to be defended and held harmless by another
participating jurisdiction, the jurisdiction having the right to be defended and held
harmless shall promptly tender the defense of such claim or lawsuit to the
jurisdiction that must defend and hold the other harmless.
XVI. PROCESSING OF CLAIMS.
A. Designation of Lead Jurisdiction.
There shall be a lead jurisdiction for processing a claim that is filed with
and against cities for alleged damages and injuries that occur as a result
of VNET activities. The lead jurisdiction shall be the jurisdiction within
which the VNET response occurred; PROVIDED, that in the event the
jurisdiction within which the VNET response occurred did not participate
in the VNET response, the lead jurisdiction shall be the jurisdiction within
which the incident that required the VNET response originated. In the
event that a jurisdiction that was not involved in the VNET response
receives the claim, that jurisdiction shall notify the other jurisdictions in
accordance with Section XVII of this Agreement, and shall use its best
efforts to determine who is the appropriate lead jurisdiction.
B. Assistance of VNET Supervisor.
The VNET Supervisor shall assist the lead jurisdiction in responding to a
claim. The VNET Supervisor shall be responsible for gathering all
records relating to the VNET response. These records shall include, but
are not limited to, incident reports, notes, transcripts, photos, evidence
Togs, recorded statements, documents from ernergency dispatch centers,
and warrants from all jurisdictions that participated in the VNET response.
The VNET Supervisor shall also provide a list of personnel who

Valley Narcotics Enforcement Team Interlocal Agreement 7
June 17, 2009
C. Claims of $5,000 or Less.
i. Lead Jurisdiction Responsibilities.
The lead jurisdiction shall be responsible for working with the
Supervisor to gather records relating to the VNET response. The
lead jurisdiction shall provide records to its insurance provider and
shall assist its insurance provider in assessing liability for acts
associated with the claim. The lead jurisdiction shall notify the
other jurisdictions of any determinations as to liability. In
determining whether a claim should be paid, the lead jurisdiction
and its insurance provider shall, at a minimum, consider the
potential legal defenses to the claim and the costs of defending
the claim.
ii. Liability Determination Apportionment of Damages.
The lead jurisdiction, with the assistance of its insurance provider
and risk manager, shall determine whether the VNET is liable for
damages set forth in a claim, and whether the payment of the
claim would be in the best interest of the jurisdictions and /or the
VNET. In the event the lead jurisdiction determines that payment
of a claim is appropriate, such determination shall be final and
binding upon other jurisdictions and payment shall be apportioned
equally among all jurisdictions that participated in the VNET
response. The insurance provider for the lead jurisdiction shall
provide full payment to the claimant, and each jurisdiction that
participated in the response shall reimburse the insurance provider
for its equal share of such payment.
Prior to the payment of any claim, and as a condition of such
payment, the insurance provider providing payment shall obtain
from the claimant a complete and total release of liability on behalf
of all jurisdictions participating in the VNET and each and every
officer, agent, or volunteer of those participating jurisdictions.
In the event the lead jurisdiction determines that the VNET is not
liable for damages set forth in a claim or that the payment of the
claim would not be in the best interest of the jurisdictions and /or
the VNET, the lead jurisdiction shall notify the other jurisdictions of
the determination, and such determination shall be binding on the
other jurisdictions; PROVIDED, that another jurisdiction that
determines that payment is appropriate may pay such claim in full,
and shall not seek reimbursement from the other participating
jurisdictions.
iii. Letter From Insurance Adjusters.
In the event a lead jurisdiction, in conjunction with its insurance
provider, determines that payment of a claim is appropriate, the
insurance provider shall provide each of the participating

D. Claims over $5,000.
jurisdictions with a letter stating the determination and the bases
for such determination.
Lead Jurisdiction Responsibilities.

shall be notified of the meeting.
XVII. PROCESSING OF LAWSUITS.
A. Notification to Other Jurisdictions.

with all of the jurisdictions participating in the VNET to discuss the lawsuit
and to determine the appropriate manner within which to respond and /or
defend the lawsuit. The Board and persons listed in Section XX of this
Agreement shall be notified of the meeting.
XVIII. NOTIFICATION OF CLAIMS AND LAWSUITS.
Section XVII of this Agreement requires that the jurisdiction receiving a claim
or lawsuit notify the other jurisdictions of the claim or lawsuit and provide
documentation of that claim or lawsuit to the other jurisdictions. Nothing in this
Agreement shall be deemed a waiver by any participating jurisdiction of the
requirements set forth in Chapter 4.96 RCW, and the fact that a participating
jurisdiction provides notice or copies of a claim to another jurisdiction shall not
be deemed compliance with the requirement that a party who files suit against a
jurisdiction first file a claim with the jurisdiction in accordance with Chapter 4.96
RCW. Moreover, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed acceptance of
service of a lawsuit, and the fact that a participating jurisdiction provides notice
or copies of a lawsuit to another jurisdiction shall not be deemed adequate
service of such lawsuit in accordance with the State or Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure or the Revised Code of Washington.
For the purposes of implementing Section XVII of this Agreement, the
following persons from each jurisdiction shall receive any required notification or

II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Valley Narcotics Enforcement Team (VNET) Interlocal Asreement
Staff is seeking full Council approval to enter into an interlocal agreement for continued participation in
the Valley Narcotics Enforcement Team (VNET).
VNET is a joint task force comprised of six area police agencies who work with the DEA on narcotics
investigations. This cooperative Team has been operation for many years, and has functioned without an
interlocal agreement.
Modeled after the Valley SWAT, this interlocal agreement will be signed by all participating agencies,
and will assist VNET to continue operating efficiently. No additional or new City funding is required for
participation in the agreement. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO AUGUST 10 COW
FOR DISCUSSION.
B. Seattle Southside Visitor Center Lease
Staff is seeking full Council approval to enter into a new lease agreement with Dollar Development Co.
for two, five -year periods for Seattle Southside Visitor Services office space. Seattle Southside is
currently located at 14220 Interurban Avenue South, Suite 130, Tukwila and is considering relocating to
3100 South 176 Street, SeaTac.
After a lengthy discussion, the Committee determined that there was not enough information provided in
the staff informational memo to make either a recommendation, or to forward the item onto full Council
for discussion. In consideration of time constraints (the current lease in the Tukwila location is set to
expire on August 31, 2009), the Committee has recommended staff make changes to the informational
memo as listed below, and after review by the Committee Chair, the item may be forwarded to the August
17 Regular Council Meeting for discussion. The item will not be forthcoming from Committee with a
recommendation at this time.
Items for inclusion in the revised informational memo include:
Specific information regarding sites that were considered, looked at, and those which
submitted proposals
A chart comparing and /or outlining amenities of locations being considered
Pros and cons of the locations being considered
Offer /terms submitted by landlord of current location
Cost implications for going month -to -month on the current lease
NO COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION. REQUEST TO REVISE INFORMATION AND
POSSIBLY FORWARD TO AUGUST 17 REGULAR MEETING FOR DISCUSSION.
