INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
Mayor Haggerton
Community Affairs and Parks Committee
FROM: Jack Pace, DCD Director
BY:
Nora Gierloff, Deputy DCD Director
Brenda Holt, Permit Coordinator
Christy O'Flaherty, City Clerk
DATE: October 7, 2013
SUBJECT: Permit User Fee for Technology Investments
ISSUE
Should Tukwila adopt a technology fee on building, public works and land use permits to offset
the cost of the new permit tracking system and the cost of preserving and providing electronic
access to permits?
BACKGROUND
The City is replacing its current permit tracking system, Permits Plus by Accela, with CRW's
Trakit system. Our current system is used by Building, Planning, Public Works, Code
Enforcement and Rental Housing. Fire enters their reviews of development and land use
permits in Permits Plus but uses a separate system for issuing their own permits. The new
system will provide significant customer service improvements including online public access to
permit status and history; electronic plan submittal and review; online inspection scheduling;
mobile access for inspectors; citizen comment tracking; and integrated GIS mapping. We
anticipate a go live date of November 6th
Once issued, the City is required to permanently preserve land use and development related
permits and their associated records and make them available upon request. The City currently
microfilms the records as a security back -up measure for long -term protection, and the City
Clerk's office would also like to make permit records available in the City's Digital Records
Center powered by the Laserfiche Imaging System. This would allow the end -user to search for
and retrieve records online, as opposed to making public records requests utilizing a paper -
based system.
Having historical permit records available online will provide a significant customer service
improvement by eliminating the delay of submitting a public records request. It would also
reduce the substantial amount of staff time spent fulfilling public records requests for permit
files, which have a high rate of retrieval.
The new Trakit permit system will allow permit records to be sent directly into Laserfiche as they
are closed. However, importing historical permit records into Laserfiche is currently on hold due
to staffing limitations. Identifying a revenue source would enable the City to work through the
backlog of scanned historical permits (back to 1958) and continue adding the current permits to
the Digital Records Center on an ongoing basis.

ANALYSIS
As requested by Council, staff is providing technology fee options for consideration. The
technology fee level chosen will determine the revenue raised.
Trakit Costs
Costs for implementation of Trakit are below the budgeted amount of $375,000 and
maintenance costs will be lower than Permits Plus.
Project Cost Summary Purchase Cost
A. Total Software & Licensing $152,500
B. Implementation & Project Management $ 83,250
C. Data Conversion from Permits Plus $ 15,500
D. Training $ 34,000
E. CRW Travel & Expenses $ 19,500
F. Customizations $ 23,000
G. Negotiated Discounts $ (15,000)
H. Taxes $ 25,000
I. ArcGIS Server to support GIS functionality $ (17,372')
J. Larger Monitors for ePlan review $ 4,000
K. Increase Data Storage Capacity for ePlans $ 14,710
Permit System Cost $356,460
1 Purchased with emergency management funds
Records Management/Accessibility Costs
A portion of the technology fee could be earmarked to offset some of the costs associated with
expanding access to permit records beyond that required by the State. The City Clerk's office
does not have the staff time to import, index, review and merge the digitized permits in order to
make them available online. Funding of up to $20,000 annually through the technology fee, as
well as $17,241 to be taken from the microfilming /digitizing budget would allow this process to
move forward by enabling the Digital Records Coordinator position in the Clerk's Office to
become full time in 2014.
Revenue Options
Given the significant investment required to upgrade to a new permit system and accept
electronic plans, many cities are imposing technology user fees. Fees are assessed as either a
flat fee, fee per sheet or percentage of the permit fee that ranges from 1.3% to 5 %, see
Attachment A. The Master Builders have written a letter in support of city technology fees if they
are used to provide better service, and in our informal discussions with applicants many think
the efficiencies of electronic permit review would be worth a modest fee increase.
The proposed technology fee would be applied to all permits that are processed through our
tracking systems except rental housing inspections. However, it would apply to the "Permit" fee
only, excluding the plan review fee, mailing fees, state building code fee, impact fees, Cascade
Water Alliance Fee and any other water or sewer assessments.
A chart of the amount Tukwila would have collected from different fee structures is included as
Attachment B. The actual permit revenues are listed in Attachment C. Over time we could
recover the expenses associated with the new permit tracking system and expanded records
access with a fee in line with that charged by other jurisdictions in our area.

Estimated Revenue
The proceeds from different technology fee levels are shown below, assuming annual permit
revenues of $1,300,000 which is an average of recent years. The other columns show the
amount of technology fee that would be added to our current permit fees for a typical new single
family house, moderate commercial tenant improvement and 8,450 sf new commercial building.

Future Costs
Fire is working with CRW to develop a quote to integrate Fire permits into the Trakit system in
2014. Once they are using CRW the technology fee will be added to their permits. Finance may
wish to switch to LicenseTrak for business licenses in the future. The LicenseTrak expense
should be reimbursed through a fee on business licenses rather than the technology fee as it
would not directly benefit permit applicants.
Other Changes
In addition to the changes to the fee resolution related to the technology fee there is one
additional change proposed. In June of 2010 DCD moved from flat fees for all land use permits
in favor of having fees for more complex, less predictable permits structured as a retainer with
an hourly fee for staff time over the number of retainer hours. In the 2013 -14 fee schedule we
reduced the number of permits subject to hourly fees after analysis showed that the retainers
were rarely exceeded and did not justify the additional time to track the hours and bill the
applicants. In this version we are proposing to eliminate the hourly fees completely to simplify
the permit review and issuance process as we transition to Trakit. The additional staff time
required for record keeping and the delay in issuing the permit while the applicant paid the
additional fees has not been justified by the minor amounts of revenue generated.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Committee set a technology fee level of 5% and forward the
resolution to the October 28th Committee of the Whole and November 4th Regular meeting for
action. The level of funding for records management can be set as part of the 2014 budget
review.
