INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM

Stephanie Brown, Human Resources Director
Kim Gilman, Civil Service Examiner
On behalf of the Civil Service Commission
DATE: October 15, 2013
SUBJECT: Amend Ordinance #1877
ISSUE
Chapter 2.42.030 (A.3) of the Tukwila Municipal Code needs to be revised to reflect the current
provisions of RCW 41.04.010.which governs the use of Veteran's Points in hiring and
promotional processes. Therefore an amendment to Ordinance #1877 is needed.
BACKGROUND
Ordinance #1877 was passed by the City Council in 1999 to reflect the City's move to a Rule of
3 in terms of hiring and promotional decisions. There have been no amendments to this
ordinance since that time.
DISCUSSION
One of these revisions was necessary due to changes in RCW 41.04.010 defining how
Veteran's Points are used. Candidates eligible for Veteran's Points can claim either a 10% or
5% credit added to their final score. The choice of 10% or 5% is based on their retirement
status. Eligible candidates may also utilize Veteran's Points up to their first promotion. The
recently revised Civil Service Rules omits the outdated application of Veteran's Points and
includes a reference to RCW 41.04.010 in its place. Ordinance #1877 needs to be amended to
align with the revised Rules. One other minor housekeeping edit was made to the Ordinance to
change "Personnel Department" to the "Human Resources Department ".
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no financial impact to this change.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to approve the ordinance and consider this item at the October 28,
2013 Committee of the Whole meeting and subsequent November 4, 2013 Regular Meeting.

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
Mayor Haggerton
Finance & Safety Committee
FROM: Stephanie Brown, Human Resources Director
DATE: October 2, 2013
SUBJECT: Councilmember Benefits
ISSUE
Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), the City's health expense
reimbursement to Councilmembers is considered a stand -alone health plan. The
reimbursement arrangement as it currently exists will be prohibited by PPACA after January 1,
2014.
BACKGROUND
Since 2001, a fringe benefit has been provided to Councilmembers to reimburse them for
eligible medical, dental, vision, and health insurance premiums. The current benefit amount is
$3,400 per Councilmember, per year. Reimbursement claims are processed by the Finance
Department staff. In lieu of receiving the reimbursement benefit, Councilmembers have the
choice of enrolling in the City's Self- Insured Medical /Dental plan. Any expenses incurred by
Councilmembers' dependents are not eligible.
DISCUSSION
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) will no longer allow for City
Councilmembers to receive a stand -alone reimbursement arrangement for healthcare
expenses. In addition, the City would not be able to offer a Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
arrangement as is currently offered to regular full -time and part -time employees to reimburse for
medical expenses, not covered under our insurance. The reason why this option is no longer
available due to changes in the healthcare legislation is that Councilmembers are not currently
covered under an FSA plan; they currently do not contribute towards this benefit, and the
reimbursement amount the City provides ($3,400) is more than two times what is allowable
under the regulations.
Therefore, the only option available is to continue to offer enrollment into the City Self- Insured
Medical plan and Group Health Cooperative. Enrollment on the City's Self- Insured
Medical /Dental Plan and Group Health Cooperative would happen in December, with coverage
beginning January 1, 2014. For Councilmembers already receiving insurance through their
workplace, the City's plan would be secondary. The City insurance would be primary if a
councilmember is on a Medicare Supplemental plan. Dependents can be added to the plan on
a self -pay basis.
FINANCIAL IMPACT /RECOMMENDATION
The health insurance premium for the City Self Insured Medical /Dental Plan would cost $509.94
(2013 rates) per Councilmember, and for Group Health Cooperative the cost would be $717.98,
per month in addition to any impact on the plan.
The Council is being asked to consider this item at the October 28, 2013 Committee of the
Whole meeting and adopt the resolution at their November 4, 2013 Regular Meeting.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON, SETTING THE HEALTH
INSURANCE BENEFITS FOR CITY COUNCILMEMBERS.
WHEREAS, due to legislative action during 2007, the cost of a health care policy is
no longer considered to be additional compensation for elected officials; and
WHEREAS, since 2001, City Councilmembers have either received a
reimbursement of $3,400 per year for his or her own individual and eligible health care
expenses or the City has paid the premium for the Councilmember's individual
coverage on the City's self- insured medical plan; and
City's self insured medical plan for individual coverage;
WHEREAS, under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), the
City's health expense reimbursement to Councilmembers is considered a stand -alone
health plan, and the reimbursement arrangement as it currently exists will be prohibited
by PPACA after January 1, 2014;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA,
WASHINGTON, HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
Health Insurance Benefits:
A. Each member of the City Council, beginning January 1, 2014, may enroll in the
City of Tukwila's self- insured medical plan or the Group Health Cooperative plan.
B. The City will pay the monthly premium for each Councilmember enrolled on the
selected medical plan. This benefit will only cover the Councilmember and not
additional family members. Councilmembers have the option of paying for dependent
coverage separately.
C. Enrollment on the a City's self insured medical plan shall be a fringe benefit
available to the Councilmember by virtue of employment with the City and shall not be
considered part of the Councilmember's stipend or wages

FROM: Peggy McCarthy, Finance Director
BY: Laurie Anderson, Fiscal Specialist
DATE: September 30, 2013
SUBJECT: Cancellation of Accounts Receivable
ISSUE
Each year a resolution comes before the Council for the cancellation of uncollectible accounts
receivable. For 2013, these items include: False Alarms equaling $200.00, Miscellaneous
Billings equaling $29,644.47 and NSF checks equaling $858.50 in the total amount of
$30,702.97.
BACKGROUND
The process for tracking accounts receivable is quite thorough. The steps below are followed
prior to preparation of the attached write -off resolution.
• Invoice is sent to recipient by the Finance Department payable in 30 days.
• If payment is not received within 30 days, the receivable is forwarded to our collection
agency, Armada Corp., and placed in pre - collect status.
•At this time, Armada sends a Delinquency Notice to debtor notifying them of the past -due
status of the receivable and asks them to contact the City to make payment. Payments
can still be made directly to the City while in pre - collect status.
•Once 30 days have passed in pre - collect status, the receivable then rolls over to active
collections. At the onset of active collections, a letter is sent to the debtor notifying them
of status change and advising that all payments must now be made through the
collection agency.
• While in active collections status, debtor is contacted both by phone and letter. A search
is made for assets with which the debt could be satisfied. Once the debt has been in
active collections for 45 days, it is then reported to the national credit bureaus.
• The last process in the collections cycle is the pursuit of legal action. This includes
attaching checking accounts, garnishments and lawsuits.
• The City will not issue or renew a business license until all outstanding debt owed to the
City is paid.
• It should be noted that while a debt may be written off our books; it is still active in
Armada's collections process.

INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
DISCUSSION
The proposed amount of the 2013 cancellation of Accounts Receivable of $30,702.97 is higher
than last year's total of $8,777.89. This is attributable to two main factors:
• One of the requested write -offs is for $20,035.60. The original amount of this invoice,
which is for a foundation replacement and complete signal pole assembly replacement,
was $103,480.31. Washington Cities Insurance Authority paid $83,444.71 which is the
amount of the invoice net of our indirect costs of $15,035.60 and our deductible of
$5,000.00. While we are requesting write -off of the remaining balance, WCIA is pursuing
the collection of the remainder.
• Another of our requested write -offs is for an invoice for damage to a pedestrian pole. It
was damaged by a hit and run driver and, as such, we do not know whom to bill. The
invoice total is $6,006.80.
• The total of these two receivables is $26,042.40 which is 84.8% of the 2013 write -off total.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The financial impact of cancelling $30,702.97 will be to reduce our accounts receivable balance
by this amount in keeping with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for the writing
off of bad debt. Please note that while we are writing off the accounts receivable for accounting
purposes, the accounts are still being actively worked for collection purposes with the exception
of those accounts where we cannot identify the responsible party. Accounts covered by
bankruptcy law cannot be pursued.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to approve the annual resolution authorizing the cancellation of
Accounts Receivable and to forward this item to the Consent Agenda of the November 4, 2013
Regular Meeting.

DATE: October 15, 2013
SUBJECT: Permit User Fee for Technology Investments
(This item was also presented to CAP; based on the discussion, clarifying
information has been added to pages 2-3, highlighted in yellow.)
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 m
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 Syet8m.
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 Laserflche 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, staf 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.

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.
Based on discussion at the CAP meeting, further investigation was done regarding the level of
service provided by the cities surveyed in Attachment A. A review of each of the agency
websites demonstrated that none of the surveyed cities offer online accessibility to finalized
permit records. While options are available to search for database summaries with permit
information, the end user is not able to acquire a copy of the finalized permit, plans and other
documents online. DCD permits have the highest document retrieval rate from the City's
Records Center with 101 files retrieved to date in 2013, with permit dates ranging from
1960'2009. (This does include requests for more current permit records housed in DCD).
Based on the chosen funding level, we are proposing to more efficiently meet the demand by
providing online accessibility of finalized permit records for the pub|ictoae|f'serve' saving them
the cost of paying the City for paper records.

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.

Payback Period
The funds available for retiring the Trakit investment, contributing to the City Clerk's staffing to
make historical permits available online, and developing a fund for future updates are listed
below. This assumes a 10 year payback period for Trakit, after that point those funds would be
available for future investments. We have not accounted for inflation in these figures, but as
construction costs rise so would permit and technology fee revenues.

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 License Trak for business licenses in the future. The License Trak 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 (�Ctober28 m (Committee of thBVVhO|� 8nd NOv8nnb8r4 m Regular meeting for
action. The level of funding for records management can be set as part of the 2014 budget
review.

Finance and Safety Committee
FROM: Mike Villa, Chief of Police
BY: Brendan Kerin, Police Officer/Training Coordinator
DATE: October 8, 2013
SUBJECT: Ordinance Establishing New Regulations Relating to Interfering With Traffic
ISSUE
Whether to approve an ordinance establishing new regulations relating to interfering with traffic
to be codified at TMC Chapter 9.21.
BACKGROUND
The City of Tukwila has an issue with interference with traffic caused by pedestrians in City
rights-of-way. Such conduct poses public safety issues and causes traffic congestion. The City
currently has an ordinance prohibiting solicitation in certain areas of the City, but this ordinance
does not address the interference with traffic that can be caused by the problematic actions of all
types of pedestrians, not just solicitors.
DISCUSSION
This new ordinance, which would effectively replace the prior solicitation ordinance, should
effectively keep pedestrians from interfering with traffic throughout the City thereby minimizing
potential traffic accidents caused by distracted drivers and allowing for a smoother flow of
vehicle traffic.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There would be no cost to the City if this ordinance is approved and passed in to law.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to consider this item at the October 28, 2013 Committee of the
Whole meeting and subsequent November 4, 2013 Regular Meeting.

SUBJECT: Amendments to Tukwila Municipal Code 2.95 — Code of Ethics
At the Finance and Safety Committee meeting of October 8, 2013, the Committee reviewed two
ordinances amending the City's Ethics Code — one for elected officials and one for employees.
After robust discussion, the Committee requested that one ordinance be prepared for elected
officials, appointed officials and employees. It was also requested that the new ordinance
include the creation of an Ethics Board which would receive ethics complaints and make an
initial determination regarding sufficiency of the complaint. Finally, the Committee requested
that if an investigation was conducted of an elected official that the investigator reach no
conclusion and only find facts that would be forwarded to the Council for a final determination.
All of these changes are reflected in the attached ordinance as well as new section regarding
penalty options for elected officials.

No presentations.
II. BUSINESS AGENDA
Consensus existed to take up items D and E as the first and second order of business, respectively.
A. Resolution — Cancellation and Reporting of 2013 Unclaimed Property
Staff is seeking Council approval of the annual resolution that would declare the cancellation of abandoned
or unclaimed property that is owed to individuals or business owners in time for reporting to the
Washington State Department of Revenue Unclaimed Property Section by November 1, 2013. This year's
report includes the cancellation of outstanding General Fund claims and payroll checks in the total amount
of $1,933.16. The City has performed due diligence in notifying the property owners, and checks were
issued to those who were successfully contacted through that effort. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.
FORWARD TO OCTOBER 21 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA.
B. Ordinance— Amending Ordinance No. 2408 relating to the Final Assessment Roll for LID No. 33
Staff is seeking Council approval of an ordinance that would amend Ordinance No. 2408 by replacing its
Exhibit B, the final assessment roll for Klickitat Local improvement District No. 33. After the passage of
Ordinance No. 2408, it was discovered that eight parcels on the assessment roll contained outdated
ownership data, and a corrected Final Assessment Roll must be adopted via a new ordinance. The
corrected Final Assessment Roll also contains an annotation relating to an exemption for the King County
Housing Authority on two parcels. The exemption was discovered after the assessment process had begun
and it was determined that it would not be cost effective to start over. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.
FORWARD TO OCTOBER 21 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA.
C. Two Ordinances — Ethics Code for Elected Officials and for Employees and Appointed Officials
Committee Chair Robertson provided an overview of a proposal to revise the Code of Ethics by adding a
new chapter covering elected officials to include both the Council and the Mayor. A companion ordinance
would amend the existing Code to remove the reference to elected officials, making it applicable only to
City employees and appointed officials. This review and proposed revision to the Code was requested by
the Council at its 2013 retreat, based upon a review of ethics policies for officials in other local municipal,
county and state governments. The proposal removes language prohibiting "appearance of impropriety" as
well as activity that might be seen as adverse to the interests of the City," on the grounds that those are
concepts difficult to define and enforce and are not widely used in the comparison jurisdictions. Another
impetus for the proposal is that all of the jurisdictions reviewed have a process under which investigations
and decisions of complaints against elected officials are either performed by an ombudsman, appointed
citizen board or the Council, and none have a process under which the Mayor performs the review or
makes the final determination.
69
Finance & Safety Committee Minutes October 8, 2013 — Page 2
The investigation process outlined by the proposed ordinance begins with initial complaints first going to
the Council President, who would review the validity of the complaint along with two other
Councilmembers of his or her choosing. (lf the complaint is against the Council President, it would then go
to the next most senior Councilmember.) If the initial review determines that the complaint is valid, it will
next go to an investigator retained by the Council, who will investigate and provide results to the Council
President for action. The Council President and two Councilmembers will prepare a written
recommendation that is then discussed and decided by the entire Council with the exclusion of the
complained about official.
Committee members, staff, and the City Attorney discussed this proposal at length. Committee Chair
Robertson proposed a further suggestion to add the City Attorney to the group of Council President and
two Councilmembers undertaking the preliminary review of the complaint validity. The City Attorney
stated that the Mayor's Office recommends that the Mayor should remain in the existing Code Chapter
2.95 to have the same process as City employees and appointed officials in keeping with Tukwila's
separation of powers structure.
Councilmember Quinn proposed that the Committee consider an appointed Ethics Board model, citing the
City of Federal Way's Code of Ethics as a favorable example. Under this proposal, he would like to see the
Council, Mayor and employees have the same review process, and the Council would not be involved in
the preliminary determination of complaint or in an investigatory role. Councilmembers and staff
discussed the ethics board model as well as the language regarding "appearance of impropriety" and
"interests appearing adverse to the City." The City Attorney provided several real -world examples when
those principles were legally applicable. Ultimately, Councilmembers Quinn and Seal stated they would
like to retain that language applying to elected officials, employees, and appointed officials.
Councilmember Robertson remained opposed. Committee members agreed in concept on a process of a
preliminary review of validity by an appointed ethics board, an investigation of facts by an independent
attorney, and a determination made by the Council.
The Committee requested this issue return to the October 22 meeting, and requested the City Attorney
prepare a proposal for a code that would apply to the Council and employees and incorporate an ethics
board component. In addition, they requested to see options regarding the position of Mayor in the process.
DISCUSSION ONLY. RETURN TO COMMITTEE ON OCTOBER 22, 2013.
D. Resolution — Council Benefits
Staff is seeking Council approval of a resolution that would update health insurance benefits for
Councilmembers. Since 2001, Councilmembers have received a benefit in which they can receive
reimbursement for eligible medical expenses up to $3,400 per year. However, due to the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) of 2007, this expense reimbursement option is considered a
stand -alone health plan and therefore prohibited after January 1, 2014. The Council previously had the
option to enroll in the City's Self- Insured Medical /Dental plan, but with the changes due to the PPACA,
continuing this enrollment option is now the only medical benefit available to Councilmembers.
Enrollment in the plan would be available this December for coverage beginning January 1. The City plan
would be secondary for Councilmembers receiving insurance through their workplace, and primary for
those on a Medicare plan. The premium of $509.94 for an individual Councilmember per month would be
paid by the City as it is for employees.
In response to Committee member questions, the resolution will be presented at the October 22 Committee
meeting with information regarding a Group Health option and clarification on the tier of coverage for
those who already have primary and secondary insurance. In addition, staff is planning to add a recital to
the resolution that explains the impetus for the change. Education on the change to Council benefits will be
provided to Councilmembers on an individual or group basis as appropriate. DISCUSSION ONLY.
RETURN TO COMMITTEE ON OCTOBER 22, 2013.
