Office of the Mayor
City of Tukwila, Washington
PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, our King County cities recognize adequate nutrition as a basic goal for
each citizen; and
WHEREAS, no parent should have to send a child to school hungry, no baby should be
without the comfort of the feedings needed for mental and physical growth, no elderly person's
health should be jeopardized by lack of appropriate foods; and
WHEREAS, food banks, emergency and hot meal programs working with our cities,
local churches, social service agencies and hundreds of volunteers are striving day in and day
out to stem the rising tide of hunger, but still need more help; and
WHEREAS, we believe that when the citizens who are not involved hear of the
especially desperate needs of the hungry as winter approaches and their low incomes must
stretch to cover increasing fuel, electricity and rental costs — leaving even less money for
monthly food purchases, an outpouring of community assistance will follow; and
WHEREAS, the Emergency Feeding Program of Seattle and King County coordinates
an annual food drive to help support the efforts of their program and the area's food banks in
fighting hunger which will be held at grocery stores throughout King County on Saturday,
September 28, 2013;
NOW THEREFORE, I, Jim Haggerton, Mayor of the City of Tukwila, do hereby
proclaim Saturday, September 28, 2013 as a:
Mayor's Day of Concern for the Hungry
in the City of Tukwila and strongly encourage all citizens to join me, the Emergency Feeding
Program and our local food banks in feeding the hungry people of our community.
Presented at the City Council meeting this 23`d day of September, 2013.

Review of Draft Ordinance
ISSUE
Should businesses in the Manufacturing Industrial Center /Heavy (MIC /H) zone be permitted to
have a larger flush mounted wall signs?
BACKGROUND /DISCUSSION
On August 26, 2013, the Community Affairs and Parks Committee was provided a briefing on
proposed changes to the sign code regarding flush mounted wall signs in the MIC /H zone. Staff
recommended, and the Committee supported, amending the sign code to permit businesses in
the MIC /H zone to have larger wall signs and to modify the requirement regarding the need for a
public entrance. A draft Ordinance, which reflects the language supported by the Committee, is
included as attachment "A ". Additionally, a copy of staff's August 21, 2013 memo is also
included as attachment "B ".
During the Committee meeting there was discussion about whether businesses, specifically
Boeing, needed additional wall signage above their entrances. City staff reached out to Boeing,
which indicated that there was no need for additional signage above its entrances.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There will be a slight increase in permit fees as a result of adoption of this Ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the draft Ordinance be forward to tonight's Committee of the Whole
meeting for a public hearing and discussion by the full City Council.

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Haggerton
Community Affairs and Parks Committee
FROM: Jack Pace, DCD Director
BY: Courtney M. Johnson, Planning Intern
Brandon Miles, Senior Planner
DATE: August 21'2D13
SUBJECT: Amendments to the Title 19 "Sign Code"
ISSUE
Should businesses in the Manufacturing Industrial Center/Heavy (MIC/H) zone be permitted to
have larger flush mounted wall signs?
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The placement ofwall signs within the City is governed by Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC)
192OO5O.A business iGpermdtedto have one vVaU sign for each public entrance that the
business ss uti|izen. Thua, if a business has four public entrances it would be permitted to have
four wall signs. The size of the wall signs is based on the total area of the wall where the wall
sign will be placed. A larger wall allows for a larger wall sign; however, most wall signs are
limited
to a maximum size of 150 square feet. Some larger properties can utilize the provisions
of the Master Sign Program to install a wall sign of up to 250 square feet.
The current approach for wall sign area limitations works well for retail commercial areas of the
City. such as the Southcenter area and Tukwila International Boulevard. MovVever, in areas that
have large buildings, and thus large walls, the current regulations severely limit the allowable
wall signage. Nearly all of these larger buildings are located in the City's MIC/H zone. A
business in the MIC/H zone, which has a wall area of 50,000 square feet, is only permitted
signage that occupies .3% of the wall area. Compare that to a business in the Southcenter area
that occupies 5.001 square feet, which is permitted to install a wall sign that occupies 2.99% of
the wall area.
The Boeing Company, a business that operates primarily in the City's MIC/H Zone, has
requested that the City amend the Sign Code to allow larger wall signs. Boeing is requesting the
change in order to reflect the fact that it, like other large business owners in the MIC/H zone,
occupies large buildings, with large wall areas. Boeing has also requested that the City modify
the requirement that links public entrances to placement of wall signs.
The purpose of the MIC/H zone is to allow for heavy industry and bulk monufmcturing, hence the
need for massive buildings with large wall areas. These types of businesses are likely to not
have public entrances similar to commercial businesses, such as those in the Southcenter area.
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
POLICY OPTIONS
Staff would like input from the City Council on whether the City should amend the Sign Cod8k}
address the request from Boeing. Staff has outlined two possible options be|ovv.
Option 1: No Change to the Existing Sign Code. Under this approach Boeing, as well as any
other building owners in the MIC/H area, would not be permitted to install a wall sign on a wall
that does not have a public entrance. If a public entrance is preoeDt, the size of the wall sign
could not exceed 150 square feet (250 square feet if a Master Sign Plan were approved).
Option 2: Amend the Sign Code to allow businesses in the MIC/H zone to have larger wall
signs on building faces without public entrances. Wall signs in the MIC/H zone would be
permitted up to 1.500 square feet in area for wall areas larger than 5.000 square feet by
adopting a new allowable Sign Area table as follows (This tabe would only apply in the MIC/H
Zone)
Area (LxH) of Exposed Building Face (EBF) in
Square Feet
Permitted Sign Area
5001-20.000
(EBF-5,000) X .015 +150 square feet
20.001-50'000
(EBF'2O.OU0)}(.D15+375 square feet
50.001'80.000
(EBF-5O'OOO) }(.O15+O25 square feet
80.001-100,000
(EBF-DO.00C) )(.01+1275 square feet
100.001 and above
1500 square feet max
The requirement to have a public entrance would aso not apply in the MIC/H zones. A busine s
would be permitted to have a total of four wall si ns; one for each cardinal direction, with only
one sign per direction,
FINANCIAL IMPACT
If option 2 is selected a small number of additional buildings will be permitted to have additional
signs and thus the City would see a slight increase in permit revenue.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Option 2. If the Committee is agraeob|e, staff will come back to the
Committee on September 23, 2013 with a draft Ordinance. Staffwould also like perm?ssion to
take the draft Ordinance to the Committee of the Whole for a public hearing and discussion that
same night.

No presentations.
II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Community Activity Nutrition Network ( "I"CANN) Update
Staff presented an overview of "I "CANN, a new South King County multi -city collaborative aimed at
reducing the prevalence of obesity in kids and families. Councilmembers are invited to attend the
"Leadership Forum for a Healthier Generation" on September 12 at the Renton Community Center with
other area business and community leaders. The mission of "I "CANN emphasizes education and
outreach, and a free online tool for finding health resources and tracking goals is in development.
Committee members asked questions about resources and funding, and expressed interest in tracking this
program as it grows. An invitation to the Leadership Forum will be forwarded to the full Council.
INFORMATION ONLY.
B. Amplified Noise in City Parks Update
In response to recent concerns expressed by residents, staff provided an update on how the City is
addressing the problem of unauthorized amplified noise in City parks. Recent short-term efforts include
emphasizing the laws regarding noise to rental groups as well as the installation of temporary signs at the
picnic shelter in Joseph Foster Memorial Park. A photo of the temporary sign was distributed to
Committee members. While no complaints regarding amplified noise have been made since these actions
were taken, they do not address scenarios where amplified noise may be coming from areas in parks that
are not picnic shelters. More analysis is needed to determine which park users are likely to violate the
noise ordinance. Staff will also review amplified noise laws and policies in other cities. Further
recommendation or other updates on this topic will be presented to the Parks Commission and return to
the Committee at a future date. INFORMATION ONLY.
C. Amendment to Tukwila Municipal Code Title 19 - Sign Code
Staff is seeking Committee direction on whether or not to draft a proposed amendment to the Sign Code
to allow businesses in the Manufacturing Industrial Center — Heavy (MIC /H) to have larger wall signs on
building faces without public entrances. Under such a proposal, wall signs in MIC/H would be permitted
up to 1500 square feet in area for wall areas larger than 5000 square feet. In addition, the requirement to
have a public entrance would also not apply. This amendment would only apply to permanent signs in
the MIC/H zone, only impact a small number of buildings, and slightly increase permit revenue to the
City.
The proposal to amend the sign code is in response to a request from the Boeing Company. The current
code works well for retail commercial areas, but greatly limits the allowable wall signage for large heavy

industry and bulk manufacturing businesses located in MIC /H. Committee members reviewed examples
of what signs under the proposal might look like. Committee Chair Ekberg requested that staff ask Boeing
if there is any need for a public entrance sign.
Committee members and staff discussed the proposal as well as other signage issues in the City, such as
sandwich board pros and cons and a desire to review business signage needs in Neighborhood
Commercial zones. Committee members agreed to further review and discuss the staff proposal to amend
the sign code as described. A draft ordinance will be brought to the September 23 Community Affairs
and Parks Committee for discussion. RETURN TO COMMITTEE.
III. MISCELLANEOUS

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
Mayor Haggerton
Tukwila City Council
FROM: Peggy McCarthy, Finance Director
BY: Vicky Carlsen, Deputy Finance Director
DATE: September 18, 2013
SUBJECT: Bond Ordinance for Local Improvement District No. 33
ISSUE
Approve the ordinance issuing bonds for improvement of urban access for the Southcenter Area.
BACKGROUND
On November 16, 2009, the Council adopted Ordinance No. 2260 ordering improvements for
the Southcenter area by establishing the formation of Local Improvement District (LID) #33
Tukwila Urban Center Access (Klickitat) Project.
The road improvement was substantially completed and an opening held in October 2011. The
project was closed out on February 19, 2013.
At the February 5, 2013 Finance & Safety Committee meeting, the timeline for the remaining
steps for the LID were presented. Bonds can be delivered no earlier than 20 days after the
conclusion of the prepayment period; however, the ordinance to sell the bonds may be
approved by Council at any point once the maximum amount of the bonds is determined.
On September 3, 2013, City Council approved Ordinance No. 2408 confirming the final
assessment for the LID. Other pertinent dates follow:
• September 14, 2013 - Ordinance No. 2408 became effective.
• September 16, 2013 - Prepayment period opened to all property owners in the LID.
• October 16, 2013 - Prepayment period closes.
• November 5, 2013 — Expiration of 20 day period following close of the prepayment period;
bond delivery permitted.
Bonds will be issued to reimburse the City for the costs it incurred on behalf of the LID. The
bonds will be repaid over a 17 year period from LID assessments collected over a 15 year
period.
DISCUSSION
The ordinance provides for the issuance, sale, and delivery of up to $9,475,893.89 aggregate
principal amount of local improvement district bonds for the purpose of reimbursing the City for the
costs it incurred to improve access to the Southcenter Area, including making a deposit to the
guaranty fund and paying the costs of issuance of the bonds. The term of the bonds will be for 17
years.
The bonds will be repaid from assessments collected over 15 years from property owners in the LID
area. Assessments will be collected prior to scheduled bond payments. If assessments are paid late
and not enough funds have been collected to meet the scheduled debt service payment, funds from
the guaranty fund will be used to make the required payment. The guaranty fund will be equal to not
17
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
more than 10% of the issue price of the bonds, and the City is required to maintain this fund as long
as any bonds remain outstanding.
The Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC), 13.04.190 Delinquent Assessment — Foreclosure, gives
direction when installments are delinquent. If, on the first day of January of any year, two
installments of any LID are delinquent, or if the final installment has been delinquent for more than
one year, the City Attorney is authorized to begin foreclosure proceedings.
The ordinance also provides for other related matters.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to approve the ordinance for issuance of bonds.
This item is scheduled for the September 23, 2013 Committee of the Whole Meeting, and the
October 7, 2013 Regular Council Meeting.

consistent with the provisions of this ordinance and State law, and shall not be required
to be in the form set forth in Section 13.04.170 or any other section of the Tukwila

representing interest on the Bonds need be attached. Each Bond shall be signed by the
Mayor and the City Clerk, either or both of whose signatures may be manual or in
facsimile, and the seal of the City or a facsimile reproduction thereof shall be impressed
or printed thereon. If any officer whose manual or facsimile signature appears on a
Bond ceases to be an officer of the City authorized to sign bonds before the Bond
bearing his or her manual or facsimile signature is authenticated by the Bond Registrar,
or issued or delivered by the City, that Bond nevertheless may be authenticated, issued
and delivered and, when authenticated, issued and delivered, shall be as binding on the
City as though that person had continued to be an officer of the City authorized to sign
bonds. Any Bond also may be signed on behalf of the City by any person who, on the
actual date of signing of the Bond, is an officer of the City authorized to sign bonds,
although he or she did not hold the required office on its Issue Date.
(b) Authentication. Only a Bond bearing a Certificate of Authentication in
substantially the following form, manually signed by the Bond Registrar, shall be valid or
obligatory for any purpose or entitled to the benefits of this ordinance: "Certificate Of
Authentication. This Bond is one of the fully registered City of Tukwila, Washington,
Local Improvement District No. 33 Bonds." The authorized signing of a Certificate of
Authentication shall be conclusive evidence that the Bond so authenticated has been
duly executed, authenticated and delivered and is entitled to the benefits of this
ordinance.
Section 7. Payment of Bonds. Principal of and interest on each Bond shall be
payable in lawful money of the United States of America solely out of the LID Bond
Fund or from the Local Improvement Guaranty Fund of the City. Principal of and
interest on each Bond registered in the name of the Securities Depository is payable in
the manner set forth in the Letter of Representations. Interest on each Bond not
registered in the name of the Securities Depository is payable by electronic transfer on
each Interest Payment Date, or by check or draft of the Bond Registrar mailed on such
Interest Payment Date to the Registered Owner at the address appearing on the Bond
Register on the Record Date. However, the City is not required to make electronic
transfers except pursuant to a request by a Registered Owner in writing received at
least ten days prior to the Record Date and at the sole expense of the Registered
Owner. Principal of each Bond not registered in the name of the Securities Depository
is payable upon presentation and surrender of the Bond by the Registered Owner to the
Bond Registrar. The Bonds are not subject to acceleration under any circumstances.
Section 8. Funds and Accounts.
(a) LID Bond Fund; Deposit of Assessments. The LID Bond Fund has been
previously created as a special fund of the City for the sole purpose of paying principal
of and interest on the Bonds. All collections pertaining to payments of assessments on
W: Word Processing \Ordinances \LID 33 -Bond issuance 9 -12 -13
VC:bjs
Page 7 of 13
25
the assessment roll of LID No. 33, including prepayments, installment payments, and
interest and penalties thereon, shall be deposited in the LID Bond Fund. Prior to the
Issue Date, any money on hand in the LID Bond Fund may be used to pay or reimburse
costs of the Project, may be transferred to the Guaranty Fund, or may be retained
therein for the payment of principal of or interest on the Bonds, as determined by the
Finance Officer. After the Issue Date, money on hand in the LID Bond Fund shall be
used solely to pay interest on the Bonds, to redeem a portion of the outstanding
principal amount of the Bonds in accordance with Section 9, or to pay for costs of
collecting delinquent assessments. Until needed for such purposes, the City may invest
money in the LID Bond Fund temporarily in any legal investment, and the investment
earnings shall be retained in the LID Bond Fund and used for the purposes of that fund.
(b) Project Fund; Deposit of Bond Proceeds. The principal proceeds received
from the sale and delivery of each Series of the Bonds, which amounts are not needed
to fund the Guaranty Fund deposit described below, shall be paid into or allocated to the
Project Fund, and thereafter may be allocated or transferred to such other funds,
accounts, or subaccounts of the City as the Director of Finance may determine, in order
to pay or reimburse the City for all or part of the costs of the Project and to pay the costs
of issuance of the Bonds. Until needed for such purposes, the City may invest the
principal proceeds of the Bonds temporarily in any legal investment, and the investment
earnings shall be deposited in the LID Bond Fund. Earnings subject to a federal tax or
rebate requirement may be withdrawn from any such fund or account and used for
those tax or rebate purposes. Any proceeds of Bonds remaining in the Project Fund
after paying the costs of the Project, the costs of issuing the Bonds, and for the
purposes set forth in this section, or after the City Council has determined that the
expenditure of such bond proceeds for those purposes is no longer necessary or
appropriate, may be used to pay principal of and interest on the Bonds consistent with
applicable law.
(c) Guaranty Fund. On the Issue Date, proceeds of each Series of Bonds equal
to not more than 10% of the issue price of such Series shall be deposited into the
Guaranty Fund such that the balance in the Guaranty Fund equals not less than the
balance required to be maintained under this subsection. For so long as any of the
Bonds remain outstanding, the City shall take such actions as may be necessary,
consistent with Chapter 3.64 of the Tukwila Municipal Code, Chapter 35.54 RCW and
other applicable state law, to maintain such balance in the Guaranty Fund as the
Finance Officer determines, in her sole discretion, is reasonable. Interest and earnings
from the Local Improvement Guaranty Fund shall be retained within the Guaranty Fund.
The Finance Officer may establish subaccounts within the Guaranty Fund, from time to
time as the Finance Officer deems necessary or desirable for purposes of accounting
for the investment of money therein. Money in the Guaranty Fund shall be used solely
for the payment of bonds secured by such fund and as otherwise set forth in chapters
35.49 and 35.54 RCW and other applicable law.

Section 9. Maturity; Redemption Provisions and Purchase of Bonds.
(a) Maturity. All Bonds shall bear a maturity date that is two years after the final
assessment installment payment date, and shall state an estimated redemption date
approved by the Designated Representative in accordance with Section 4.
(b) Redemption Provisions. The City shall call Bonds for redemption in whole or
in part in Authorized Denominations in the order set forth on the estimated redemption
schedule (which shall be set forth in the Bond Purchase Contract) on each Interest
Payment Date when there is money in the LID Bond Fund from assessment payments
(including principal, interest, and penalties thereon) and other money of the City
sufficient to pay the Bond (or portion thereof) so called over and above the amount
required for the payment of the interest payable on all unpaid Bonds on that Interest
Payment Date. Bonds shall be redeemed at a redemption price equal to the stated
principal amount to be redeemed plus interest accrued thereon to the redemption date.
(c) Selection of Bonds for Redemption; Partial Redemption. For so long as a
Bond is registered in the name of the Securities Depository, if Tess than all of the
principal amount of that Bond is to be redeemed, the Securities Depository shall select
the proportion of that Bond to be redeemed in accordance with the Letter of
Representations. If a Bond is not registered in the name of the Securities Depository,
the Bond Registrar shall select the proportion of that Bond to be redeemed randomly in
such manner as the Bond Registrar shall determine. All or a portion of the principal
amount of any Bond that is to be redeemed may be redeemed in any Authorized
Denomination. If less than all of the outstanding principal amount of any Bond is
redeemed, upon surrender of that Bond to the Bond Registrar, there shall be issued to
the Registered Owner, without charge, a new Bond, bearing the same Series, estimated
redemption date and interest rate, in the aggregate principal amount to remain
outstanding.
(d) Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption of each Bond registered in the
name of the Securities Depository shall be given in accordance with the Letter of
Representations. Notice of redemption of each other Bond, unless waived by the
Registered Owner, shall be given by the Bond Registrar not less than 15 nor more than
45 days prior to the date fixed for redemption by first -class mail, postage prepaid, to the
Registered Owner at the address appearing on the Bond Register on the Record Date.
The requirements of the preceding sentence shall be satisfied when notice has been
mailed as so provided, whether or not it is actually received by an Owner. In addition,
the redemption notice shall be mailed or sent electronically within the same period to
the MSRB (if required under the Undertaking), to each Rating Agency, and to such
other persons and with such additional information as the Finance Officer shall
determine, but these additional mailings shall not be a condition precedent to the
redemption of any Bond.
(e) Rescission of Redemption Notice. In the case of any redemption, the notice of
redemption may state that the City retains the right to rescind the redemption notice by
giving a notice of rescission to the affected Registered Owner(s) at any time on or prior
to the date fixed for redemption. Any notice of redemption that is so rescinded shall be
W: Word Processing \Ordinances \LID 33 -Bond issuance 9 -12 -13
VC:bjs
Page 9 of 13
27
of no effect, and each Bond for which a notice of redemption has been rescinded shall
remain outstanding.
(f) Effect of Redemption. Interest on the principal portion of each Bond called for
redemption shall cease to accrue on the date fixed for redemption, unless the notice of
redemption is rescinded as set forth above.
(g) Purchase of Bonds. The City reserves the right to purchase any or all of the
Bonds at any time at any price acceptable to the City plus accrued interest to the date of
purchase.
Section 10. Failure to Pay Bonds. If the principal of any Bond is not paid when
the Bond is properly presented at its maturity date or date fixed for redemption, the City
shall be obligated to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of that Bond at the
same rate provided in the Bond from and after its maturity or date fixed for redemption
until that Bond, both principal and interest, is paid in full or until sufficient money for its
payment in full is on deposit in the LID Bond Fund, or in a trust account established to
refund or defease the Bond, and the Bond has been called for payment by giving notice
of that call to the Registered Owner.
Section 11. Pledge of Assessment Payments. Assessments collected in LID No.
33, together with interest and penalties, if any, are pledged to the payment of the Bonds
which are payable solely out of the LID Bond Fund and the Local Improvement
Guaranty Fund of the City, all in the manner provided by law. The Bonds are not
general obligations of the City. The City covenants that it will diligently commence and
pursue the collection of all delinquent assessments in LID No. 33.
Section 12. Tax Covenants.
(a) Preservation of Tax Exemption for Interest on Tax - Exempt Bonds. The City
covenants that it will take all actions necessary to prevent interest on the Tax - Exempt
Bonds from being included in gross income for federal income tax purposes, and it will
neither take any action nor make or permit any use of proceeds of the Tax - Exempt
Bonds or other funds of the City treated as proceeds of the Tax - Exempt Bonds that will
cause interest on the Tax - Exempt Bonds to be included in gross income for federal
income tax purposes. The City also covenants that it will, to the extent the arbitrage
rebate requirements of Section 148 of the Code are applicable to the Tax - Exempt
Bonds, take all actions necessary to comply (or to be treated as having complied) with
those requirements in connection with the Tax - Exempt Bonds.
(b) Post - Issuance Compliance. The Finance Officer is authorized and directed to
review and update the City's written procedures to facilitate compliance by the City with
the covenants in this ordinance and the applicable requirements of the Code that must
be satisfied after the Issue Date to prevent interest on the Bonds from being included in

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
Mayor Haggerton
Finance and Safety Committee
FROM: Dennis Robertson, Finance and Safety Committee Chair
DATE: September 10, 2013
SUBJECT: Council Policy on Electronic Devices
ISSUE
The Finance and Safety Committee has committed to proposing a Council Policy on Electronic
Devices used by Councilmembers.
BACKGROUND
At the June 4, 2013 Committee meeting, Councilmembers reviewed the draft Administrative
Policy on "Business Use of Cellular Devices," and considered it as the basis of a similar policy
that would be tailored to Councilmembers and be applicable to various devices. This draft
Council Policy is based upon that Committee discussion. It also includes elements of a
previously reviewed draft policy on Councilmembers' use of iPads.
The Committee unanimously approved Version 3 of this policy and forwarded Version 4
containing an additional committee amendment for discussion to the August 12 Committee of
the Whole. On August 12, the City Attorney's Office proposed the following additional
amendment to Section 3:
"A Councilmember's electronic device and the documents contained therein, whether
under Option A or B, or on an electronic device they purchased themselves that is used in
the course of performing their duties as elected officials, may only have the device data
contents accessed to comply with public disclosure per State and Federal law, as part of
an employment/ethics investigation, or in case of a technical issue that needs to be
addressed by IT staff. "
The Committee of the Whole referred this policy back to the Finance and Safety Committee for
further discussion of the proposed amendment.
DISCUSSION
Committee members will review and discuss this draft policy to ensure it meets the previously
discussed goals of this subject.
RECOMMENDATION
This is a draft Council Policy applicable to and implemented by consensus of the Council. If the
Committee recommends Council implementation of the draft Policy as amended, the item will be
forwarded to the September 23 Committee of the Whole for full Council discussion and to the
October 7 Regular Meeting for a motion.

device. The Councilmember may use the device for rare, incidental, personal
use only if no other alternative exists.
(2) Financial responsibility: Option A is designed as having no cost to the
Councilmember. Ifthe device is cellular, the City may charge for any
unauthorized personal use of the electronic device. In this option, the CitywilI
not provide compensation or reimbursement to Councilmembers for City
business use conducted on cellular devices they have purchased themselves.

B. City Business Use Primary
(1) Provisions: The Councilmember 15 assigned a City-owned electronic (cellular or
computing) device to be primarily used for City business, allowing personal use
only by the Councilmember to whom the device was assigned. It 15 expected
that City business will be the majority of the device's use. The Councilmember
must sign a policy agreement prior to the issuance of a City-owned electronic
device.
(2) Financial To compensate the City for the Councilmember's
personal usage on a City-owned cellular clevice, Option B requires payment
from the Councilmember to the City via an authorized monthly payroll
deduction for each cellular device issued. The payroll deduction arrangement
must be in place, with verification sent to lTD from the Finance Department,
prior to any personal usage and/or cellular device issuance.
The rate of 45% ofthe initial standard total monthly charges for each device
(rounded up to a whole dollar amount), plus a $5 administrative fee, will be
used to determine the on-going monthly rate for the payroll deduction for each
device.
The initially-determined monthly rate may change if the cellular service charges
are increased by the service provider or the rate plan or service provider is
changed by the City. Councilmembers who have a cellular device payroll
deduction in place will be provided the opportunity to either approve the
increased deduction or to opt out of this agreement prior to any increase.
In this option, the City will not provide compensation or reimbursement to
Councilmembers for City business use conducted on cellular devices they have
purchased themselves.
3. Public Records Responsibilities
All information, data and communications relating to the conduct of government or the
performance of any governmental function that is created or stored on either a City-
owned or personal electronic device utilized for City business are considered public
records under the PubIic Records Act. A Councilmember's electronic device and the
documents contained therein, whether under Option A or B, or on an electronic device
they purchased themselves that is used in the course of performing their duties as elected
officials, may only have the device data contents accessed to comply with public disclosure
per State and Federal law or in case of a technical issue that needs to be addressed by IT
staff. Additionally, in court proceedings a legal request can be made for discovery of
devices. This can mean that any and all information existing on the device could be
deemed as discoverable, beyond what may be disclosable under the Public Records Act.

To comply with these requirements information that may need to be made available for
review must be searchable and accessible by the City Clerk or other designated City
representative. In order to meet these requirements and maintain transparency in local
government, Councilmembers should adhere to the following policy terms to conduct City-
related business on an electronic device:
• The designated City email address given to each Councilmember (ie:
firstname.lastname@TukwilaWA.gov), as well as the City email system, should be
the only email address or system used by Councimembers to conduct City-related
business. These emails are archived for retention by the Information Technology
Department, and are searchable when necessary for public disclosure or discovery
requests.
• User-created emait accounts including, but not Iimited to, Comcast, Gmail, Yahoo,
Hotmail, Zoho, GMX, etc., should not be installed on or utilized by a
Councilmember on a City-owned device to conduct City business or for personal
use. As stated above, all City-related electronic communication should be
conducted via the City's designated email system, regardless of the device used.
• Social media applications including, but not limited to, Facebook, Twitter, Linked In,
etc., should not be installed or utilized on a City-owned device unless directly
required for and related to the conduct of City business. If the social media
communication (sent or received) relates to the conduct of City business, it must be
retained in accordance with the applicable Washington State Records Retention
Schedule and may be disclosable under the Public Records Act.
• Documents, notes, photographs, etc. created on an electronic device and
presented or referenced in a meeting where City business takes place are
considered a City record and must be retained in their native electronic format for
the required retention period. Printing out a hard copy is not sufficient to meet
retention requirements.
• Notes created for a Councilmember's personal City business use, such as to
organize their thoughts or formulate potential questions to ask at a meeting, may
be considered a transitory record with minimal retention value. Councilmembers
may wish to periodically review these types of documents on electronic devices
and delete as applicable.
• It is advisable for Councilmembers to refrain from using a City-owned electronic
device for any activities related to a political campaign.
�
All electronic records created and/or stored on a City-owned electronic device
must be retained for the applicable retention period set forth in the Washington
State Records Retention Schedules, which can be viewed in their entirety on the
Washington State Archives website.

of
Public records responsibilities, including retention and disclosure, also apply to
records created on an electronic device a Councilmember has purchased
themselves, when the device is used in the course of performing their duties as an
elected official. Contact the City Clerk with any questions regarding records
retention requirements.
4. Mobile Device Management Program for CeIIuIar Devices
The City's mobile device management (MDM) program allows remote device management
for wiping enterprise data from an electronic device should it become lost or stolen. All
City-owned cellular devices participating in all program options are required to be enrolled
in the City's MDM program if the device is an MDM-allowed type of device. If a device is
not allowed by the MDM program, work email and calendar synchronization will not be
authorized for the device. The lTD will fully assist with the enrollment of all City-owned
devices.
When needed, two types of data removal are possible for MDM devices: one that removes
only the enterprise MDM data (connections to City email and network will then be cleared
manually), and one that completely wipes all data (including email and network
connections) from the device. For all City-owned devices, the type of device wipe to be
used will be determined by a mutual decision between the Councilmember and the |TD.
The user of a City-owned cellular device should be aware that any personal data on the
device, including but not limited to email and contact information, is at risk of being erased
from the device at any time and without warning.
5. Security and Safety
Cell transmissions are not secure. Therefore, Councilmembers are expected to use
discretion in discussing confidential information. Washington State Iaw regulates cellular
device usage while driving, prohibiting a wireless device such as a cell phone being held to
the driver's ear. RCW 46.61.667 and 46.61.668 provide exceptions for using wireless
communication in "hands-free" mode, while driving an authorized emergency vehicle, for
summoning emergency help or reporting illegal activity, or other emergency
circumstances. State law also bans text messaging while driving. Citations received for
any infraction on any device and any costs incurred for legal assistance required will be at
the Councilmember's own expense.
Be alert when installing free, off-shore originated or otherwise unknown and un-
researched applications onto any device as they may pose a security risk by containing
malicious content, rerouting your browser to a malicious web page asking for personal
information or installing maiware onto your device. Scanning or using QR codes may also
pose this same risk.

II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Amendment to the Settlement Agreement with Doak Homes
Staff is seeking Council approval to authorize the Mayor to amend the terms of an existing settlement
agreement with Doak Hornes, Inc. In July 2008, the City of Tukwila and Doak Homes, Inc. entered into a
settlement agreement regarding several properties in the Allentown neighborhoods, allowing construction
of 14 homes on lots not in compliance with minimum lot area requirements. The agreement covered King
County parcels O|79O0'l730,Ol790O'|755 and 017900'1855. Construction has been comp!eted on five
homes; and the extension will give Doak Homes an additional 36 months to obtain permits for the
remaining nine. Because the construction will be some of the highest quality in Allentown, and because
this is a good opportunity to test development standards for small lot development, staff recommends
amending the settlement agreement as follows:
1. Extend the agreernent for an additional 36 rnonths; and
2. Remove the requirement for Doak to develop the lots in a specific pattern.
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL FORWARD TO JULY 15 REGULAR COUNCIL CONSENT

B. Council Policy on Electronic Devices
Committee members reviewed a draft ^Couocibnco/hur Use of Electronic Devices" policy, which was
drafted based upon the June 4, 2013 Committee discussion on th topic. The Committee packet also
contained proposed edits from the City Clerk's Office relating to public disclosure.

to Section 3, Public Records Responsibilities, Paragraph 1, as shown:
"ACouocUmcmho 'o6cotrooicdcvicoaudthedocomomuconminodcberebo.nb,UermndoOpbonA

C. Ordinance —Council Compensation
Committee Chair Robertson presented an overview of this draft ordinance relating to a proposed increase
to Council compensation. The last time compensation for Councilmembers increased was in 2005, when it
changed to the current level of $1,050 per month. By comparison, the Mayor's salary has increased 22%
over the same period. Because state law prohibits Councilmembers from voting on a compensation
increase for themselves during their current term, this ordinance reintroduces the staggering of monthly
compensation so that Positions 1, 3, 5, and 7 would increase in January 2014 and Positions 2, 4, arid 6
would receive that increase when the next term begins in January 2016. The draft ordinance also includes a
proposal updating the amount Councilmembers would receive for medical reimbursement, which has not
changed since 2003.
Human Resources staff provided some clarification on the impending changes to Councilmember medical
benefits due to the Affordable Care Act. A more detailed presentation as well as a draft resolution will be
presented to the Committee on October 8. Committee members agreed to remove the section pertaining to
Councihnember benefits from this draft ordinance and consider the issue of compensation separately.
Committee rnembers discussed the proposal sal and agreed that the job duties and time commitment have
changed significantly since 2005, and that consideration ofan increase to cornpensation is worth pursuing
now. It was ultimately requested that when this draft ordinance returns to Committee on October 8, the
memo will be updated to include more information about the tine commitment required for
Councilmembers as well as compensation levels for other jurisdictions. In addition, language relating to
the Mayor's salary will be omitted from the ordinance and information relating to cost of living increases
will be included. INFORMATION ONLY.
D. Policy — Councilmember Use of Electronic Devices
On August 12, 2013, the Committee of the Whole referred this draft policy back to the Finance and Safety
Committee for discussion of an additional proposed amendment, shown in underline below:
50
"A Councilmember's electronic device and the documents contained therein, whether under Option A
or B, or on an electronic device they purchased themselves that is used in the course of performing
their duties as elected officials, may only have the device data contents accessed to comply with public
disclosure per State and Federal law, as part of an employment/ethics investigation, or in case of a
technical issue that needs to be addressed by IT xtuf["
Committee members, staff, and legal discussed the justification for the additional wording. In the end, the
Cornmittee was not in favor of the proposed amendment, and it will be removed from the version going
forward. FORWARD TO SEPTEMBER 23 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
III. MISCELLANEOUS
Committee Chair Robertson raised the issue of Council approval of vouchers. Currently Councilmembers do
not have a legal standard for the process, and he asked if there was merit to requesting a process overview from
staff. Committee members agreed this would be beneficial. Staff indicated that the request for a process
overview can be accommodated and will return to Committee at a future date. In addition, the City Attorney's
Office will research and provide information regarding the legal irnplications of signing off on vouchers.
Meeting adjourned at 6:44 p.m.

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
Mayor Haggerton
Finance & Safety Committee
FROM: Rachel Turpin, Assistant City Attorney
DATE: September 10, 2013
SUBJECT: An Ordinance Establishing Public Defense Standards and TMC Chapter
2.70 "Public Defense."
ISSUE
Whether to approve an ordinance establishing public defense standards and TMC Chapter 2.70,
"Public Defense."
BACKGROUND
RCW 10.101.030 requires all cities that provide public defenses services to establish public
defense standards. The statute outlines a number of requirements for these standards. In
addition, the statute states that the public defense standards endorsed by the Washington State
Bar Association should serve as a guideline to local legislative authorities in adopting standards.
The City has not yet adopted public defense standards.
There are currently several TMC provisions relating to public defense services. These are
codified within TMC Chapter 2.68, "Municipal Court."
DISCUSSION
This ordinance adopts public defense standards that meet the requirements set forth in RCW
10.101.030. The standards established by this ordinance are in large part modeled after the
public defense standards endorsed by the Washington State Bar Association, with minor
modifications made to tailor them to Tukwila. Adoption of this ordinance would put Tukwila in
compliance with state law.
In addition, this ordinance would create a new TMC chapter entitled "Public Defense." This
chapter would not only include the new public defense standards; it would also include the
provisions relating to public defense services that are currently located in TMC Chapter 2.68,
"Municipal Court." As the public defender is not part of the Tukwila Municipal Court, provisions
relating to public defense services are better codified in a separate chapter.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to approve the ordinance and consider this item at the September
23, 2013 Committee of the Whole meeting and subsequent October 7, 2013 Regular Meeting.

services in a professional and skilled manner consistent with the minimum
standards of the Washington State Bar Association, Washington's Rules of
Professional Conduct, applicable case law, the Constitutions of the United States
and the State of Washington, and the court rules that define the duties of counsel

the attorney's primary responsibility shall be to protect the interests of the
defendant.
Standard 3: Caseload Limits, Types of Cases, and Limitations on Private
Practice. Attorneys shall maintain a caseload such that he or she can provide

Page 3 of 8
57
prospective cases, his or her experience, the manner in which the jurisdiction
processes cases, and any private practice in which he or she is engaged. When
contracting with an attorney, the City may, if appropriate, limit the number of cases
an attorney may handle. Such limitation may be based upon the experience of the
attorney, the training the attorney has received, the complexity of the cases being
assigned the attorney, defense services the attorney may provide to other
municipalities, the scope and extent of the attorney's private practice, justified
complaints that may have been made against the attorney, and any other relevant
factors. On or before January 1, 2015, the City shall develop and implement a case
weighting system as required by Washington State Supreme Court Order No.
25700 -A -1023.
Standard 4: Responsibility for Expert Witness Services. The City's contracts
for public defense services should provide reasonable compensation for expert
witnesses when necessary. Expert witness fees should be maintained and
allocated from funds separate from those provided for defender services. Requests

access to support staff and services. At least one full -time legal assistant should be
employed for every four attorneys. Fewer legal assistants may be necessary,
however, if the agency or attorney has access to word processing staff or other
additional staff performing clerical work. Public defenders should have a
combination of technology and personnel that will meet their needs. Social work
staff should be available to assist in developing release, treatment, and
dispositional alternatives. Each agency or attorney should have access to mental
health professionals to perform mental health evaluations. Investigation staff

law, including a minimum of seven hours of continuing legal education annually in
areas relating to their public defense practice. In offices of more than seven
attorneys, an orientation and training program for new attorneys and legal interns
should be held to inform them of office procedure and policy. All attorneys should
be required to attend regular training programs on developments in criminal law,
criminal procedure and the forensic sciences. Attorneys in civil commitment and
dependency practices should attend training programs in these areas. Offices
should also develop manuals to inform new attorneys of the rules and procedures
of the courts within their jurisdiction. Every attorney providing counsel to indigent
accused should have the opportunity to attend courses that foster trial advocacy
skills and to review professional publications and other media.
Standard 10: Supervision. Each firm providing public defense services to the
City should provide one full -time supervisor for every ten staff lawyers or one half-
time supervisor for every five lawyers. Supervisors should be chosen from among
those lawyers in the office qualified under these guidelines to try Class A felonies.
Supervisors should serve on a rotating basis, and except when supervising fewer
than ten lawyers, should not carry caseloads.
Standard 11: Monitoring and Evaluation of Attorneys. Attorneys will establish a
procedure for systematic monitoring and evaluation of attorney performance based
upon publicized criteria. Supervision and evaluation efforts should include review of
time and caseload records, review and inspection of transcripts, in -court
observations, and periodic conferences. Performance evaluations made by a
supervising attorney should be supplemented by comments from judges,
prosecutors, other defense lawyers and clients. Attorneys should be evaluated on
their skill and effectiveness as criminal lawyers or as dependency or civil
commitment advocates.

Standard 12: Substitution of Counsel and Assignment of Contracts.
Attorneys should remain directly involved in the provision of representation and
shall not sub - contract with another firm or attorney to provide representation without

firm or office, the City should request the names and experience levels of those
attorneys who will actually be providing the services to ensure they meet minimum
qualifications. The employment agreement shall address the procedures for
continuing representation of clients upon the conclusion of the agreement.
Alternate or conflict counsel shall be available for substitution in conflict situations at
no cost to the counsel declaring the conflict.
Standard 13: Limitation on Private Practice. Private attorneys who provide
public defense representation shall set limits on the amount of privately retained
work which can be accepted. These limits shall be based on the percentage of a
full -time caseload which the public defense cases represent.
Standard 14: Qualifications of Attorneys. Attorneys providing defense services
shall meet the following minimum professional qualifications:
A. Satisfy the minimum requirements for practicing law in Washington as
determined by the Washington Supreme Court; and
B. Be familiar with the statutes, court rules, constitutional provisions, and case law
relevant to their practice area; and
C. Be familiar with the Washington Rules of Professional Conduct; and

possible immigration consequences and the possibility of civil commitment
proceedings based on a criminal conviction; and
F. Be familiar with mental health issues and be able to identify the need to obtain
expert services; and
G. Complete seven hours of continuing legal education within each calendar year
in courses relating to their public defense practice.
H. Each attorney who is counsel alone for a case on appeal to the Superior Court
from the Tukwila Municipal Court should have had significant training or experience
in either criminal appeals, criminal motions practice, extensive trial level briefing,
clerking for an appellate judge, or assisting a more experienced attorney in
preparing and arguing an RALJ (Rules for Appeal of Decisions of Courts of Limited

Page 6 of 8
I. Each attorney who is counsel for a case on appeal to the Washington Supreme
Court or to the Washington Court of Appeals shall:

other jurisdictions, at least one year as an appellate court or federal court clerk,
extensive trial level briefing or other comparable work.
Standard 15: Disposition of Client Complaints. Attorneys shall have a method
to respond promptly to client complaints. Complaints should first be directed to the
attorney, firm or agency that provided representation. If the client feels that he or
she has not received an adequate response, they can contact the City Administrator
and /or his /her designee to evaluate the legitimacy of complaints and to follow up on
meritorious ones. The complaining client should be informed as to the disposition of
his or her complaint in writing.
Standard 16: Cause for Termination of Defender Services and Removal of
Attorney. The City's contracts for indigent defense services shall include the
grounds for termination of the contract by the parties. Termination of a contract
should only be for good cause. Termination for good cause shall include the failure
of the attorney to render adequate representation to clients; the willful disregard of
the rights and best interests of the client; and the willful disregard of the standards
herein addressed. Removal by the court of counsel from representation normally
should not occur over the objection of the attorney and the client.
Standard 17: Non - Discrimination. Neither the City, in its selection of an attorney,
firm or agency to provide public defense representation, nor the attorneys selected,
in their hiring practices or in their representation of clients, shall discriminate on the
grounds of race, color, religion, national origin, age, marital status, gender, sexual
orientation or disability. Both the City and the contractor shall comply with all
federal, state, and local non - discrimination requirements.
Standard 18: Guidelines for Awarding Public Defender Contracts. The City
shall award contracts for public defense services only after determining that the
attorney or firm chosen can meet accepted professional standards. Under no
circumstances should a contract be awarded on the basis of cost alone. Attorneys
or firms bidding for contracts must demonstrate their ability to meet these
standards. Contracts should only be awarded to:
1. Attorneys who have at least one year's criminal trial experience in the
jurisdiction covered by the contract (i.e., City and District Courts, Superior Court or
Juvenile Court), or
2. A firm where at least one attorney has one year's trial experience.
City attorneys, county prosecutors, and law enforcement officers should not select
the attorneys who will provide indigent defense services.

Councilmembers: Dennis Robertson, Chair; De' Sean Quinn and Verna Seal
Staff: David Cline, Stephanie Brown, Peggy McCarthy, Jennifer Ferrer-Santa Ines, Rachel Turpin,
Laurel Humphrey
CALL TO ORDER: Committee Chair Robertson called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m.
I. PRESENTATIONS
No presentations.
II. BUSINESS AGENDA
Consensus existed to take up item D - Sales Tax and Miscellaneous Revenue Report as the first order of
business.
A. 2013 2'd Quarter Sales Tax and Miscellaneous Revenue Report
As information only, staff presented the 2013 2nd Quarter Sales Tax and Miscellaneous Revenue Report.
Information detailed in the staff report includes retail sales tax, gambling tax, and admissions tax revenues,
with sales tax broken out by industry classifications. Total sales tax collections were $287,000 above
those for the same period last year, with new construction sales tax revenues up 80%. Gambling tax
revenue is up by approximately 70%, and Admissions Tax is up by about 17% compared with the same
period last year.
Per previous Committee request, the staff report included new graphical representations of sales tax
receipts collected from major industries (retail, services, wholesale, construction, and other) and sales tax
mitigation revenue between 2010 through the present. INFORMATION ONLY.
B. Ordinance — Establishing Public Defense Standards
Staff is seeking Council approval of an ordinance that would establish public defense standards under a
new Tukwila Municipal Code Chapter 2.70, "Public Defense." Per State law, all cities that provide public
defense services must establish standards endorsed by the Washington State Bar Association. The
standards established in this proposed ordinance are modeled after those endorsed by the WSBA with
minor modifications tailored to Tukwila. Current TMC provisions related to public defense services will
be removed from Chapter 2.68, "Municipal Court," and recodified in the new Chapter 2.70 if this
ordinance is adopted.
Staff clarified for the Committee that the proposed standards do not represent significant procedural
changes for the City, but one highlight will be the creation of a new complaint resolution process. It is
likely a practice will be developed wherein public defenders will be asked to sign a statement of
affirmation or compliance with the standards. This ordinance presents no financial impact right now, but
the adoption of a case weighting system by January 2015 may have associated costs. UNANIMOUS
APPROVAL. FORWARD TO SEPTEMBER 23 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.

• Gaskill Property - 15010 Macadam Road S — Abatement: This property has been
abandoned and was in total disrepair and had become an attractive nuisance for
vagrants and illegal dumping. In September the City hired a contractor to remove the
garage and shed, all the rubbish and garbage that had been illegally dumped on the
property, and to cut back and remove all the overgrowth on the property, resulting in
removal of a total of 14.49 tons of rubbish, garbage and debris from the property. The
cost for the cleanup was $4,927.50. The City Attorney's office is working on documents
for Superior Court to abate the abandoned and dangerous structure. At this time the

McDermott at the August 12, 2013 COW meeting, officers take a pro- active approach in
