INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor Haggerton
Utilities Committee
From: Bob Giberson, Public Works Director
By: Gail Labanara, Public Works Analyst
Date: October 16, 2013 (revised after 10/21 UC)
Subject: Water, Sewer, and Surface Water Rates for 2014
ISSUE
Adopt 2014 water, sewer, and surface water rate increases.
WATER
Public Works has analyzed the needs of the water enterprise fund. Cascade Water
Alliance's (CWA) wholesale water rates are projected to increase 5.1% for 2014. A rate
increase on the minimum water meter charge (see Table 1) is being proposed for residential
and multi - family customers to maintain the current level of service and lessen the impact of
future increases for purchased water. Increases are also proposed for consumption charges
for multi - family and commercial /industrial rates.
Exhibit A is a rate matrix of all of the proposed utility rate increases for residential
customers. Exhibit C -1 shows a comparison of adjoining cities and their water rates. Exhibit
D is the Resolution which updates the Public Works Fee Schedule.
SEWER
King County Ordinance No. 17606 has no sewer rate increase for King County sewage
disposal fees in 2014. The King County sewer rate will remain $39.79 per residential
customer equivalent per month. The King County sewage treatment capacity charge (for
any new sewer connections) will increase from the current $53.50 to $55.35 per month for
fifteen years for any sewer connection occurring between January 1, 2014 and December
31, 2014. Exhibit B is King County Ordinance No. 17606.
Tukwila's sewer base rate is scheduled for an increase (see Table 2) in accordance with the
rate model which analyzes the City's operational and capital needs. The City's sewer rate
will increase from $23.10 to $26.50 per residential connection and from $40.48 to $46.50 for
up to 750 cubic feet or fraction thereof for commercial /industrial customers. Exhibit C -2
shows a comparison of adjoining cities and their sewer rates.
SURFACE WATER
Tukwila's surface water base rate is scheduled for an increase in 2014. The City's surface
water rate will increase from $107.00 to $118.00 per residential parcel, per year and will
range from $142.22 to $1,188.86 per 4,356 square foot for all other parcels. Exhibit C -3
shows a comparison with other cities and their surface water rates.

CITY OF TUKWILA CAPITAL PROJECT SUMMARY
2014 to 2019
PROJECT: CBD Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project No. 91140203
DESCRIPTION:
JUSTIFICATION:
STATUS:
MAINT. IMPACT:
COMMENT:
The asbestos concrete pipe in the CBD (commercial business district) is approximately 45 years old and
becoming soft. Slip lining the pipe will reinforce the strength with little impact to roadways and minimal excavation.
If the pipe collapses, the street will have to be excavated and the cost of the repairs will be significant. In the
last five years we have had two major pipe failures on Andover Park West.
A Public Works Trust Fund loan was successfully obtained in 2012 for construction.
Reduced maintenance and repair costs.
The limits of the 2013 project is APW to APE from Minkler Blvd to S 180th St and will now include the repair to the
sewer under the railroad tracks.

II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Water, Sewer, and Surface Water Rates for 2014
Staff is seeking Council approval of a resolution adopting a new Public Works fee schedule to update water,
sewer, and surface water rates for 2014. Committee packets include rate comparison charts for adjoining
cities for each type.
Water. After analyzing the needs of the water enterprise fund, staff is proposing a 5% increase from $14.00
to $15.00 for single - family and multi - family residential customers, a consumption charge increase of $0.14
- $0.20 per 100 cubic feet of water for multi - family, and a consumption charge increase of $0.20 - $0.26 per
100 cubic feet of water for commercial/industrial zones. The proposed increase will maintain the current
level of service and lessen the impact of future increases for purchased water. Cascade Water Alliance
wholesale rates are projected to increase 5.1% for 2014.
Sewer. The sewer fund is in very good shape, currently at 96% of expected revenues. Staff is proposing a
10% increase from $23.10 to $25.40 per month for single - family and multi - family residential customers,
and from $40.48 to $44.52 for commercial/industrial service (with additional charges for usage over 750
cubic feet). King County is not increasing its rate for sewage disposal fees in 2014, remaining $39.79 per
residential equivalent per month. The King County sewage treatment capacity charge will increase from
$53.50 to $55.35 per month. Staff noted that this is a middle of the road approach, and increasing the rate
by a higher percentage could allow more sliplining work to be completed sooner (CBD Sanitary Sewer
Rehabilitation in the Capital Improvement Program). Committee members were in favor of this idea and
asked that a 15% rate increase be prepared for Committee of the Whole discussion.
Surface Water. Staff is proposing a 10% increase from $107 to $118 per residential parcel per year, and an
increase to $142.22 to $1,188.86 per 4,356 square foot for commercial/industrial. Tukwila's surface water
rate is lower than adjoining cities. Councilmember Ekberg noted this is a tricky rate to explain to residents
and staff noted there was an informative article in the Tukwila Reporter. Committee members expressed
interest in receiving a future briefing on the implementation of a robust water quality inspection program
and staff concurred that EPA requirements are likely to get stricter in the coming years.
In addition to setting the utility rates outlined above, the proposed resolution removes the Public Works
development permit fees, as those fees are represented in a new DCD resolution under separate
consideration by the Council. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO OCTOBER 28
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.

SUBJECT: Sewer Repair at 6450 Southcenter Blvd
Project No. 91340203
Bid Award
ISSUE
Award bid to Green River Construction, Inc. for the repair of the sanitary sewer line near 6450 Southcenter Blvd.
BACKGROUND
When City staff was cleaning and jetting the sewer line near the intersection of Southcenter Blvd and 65th Ave S, the
jetting head got stuck in the sewer line. Staff then pushed the jet head to the next manhole up stream of the clog and
removed the jet head from the hose and tried to pull the hose back to the Vactor truck. At that time, the hose became
stuck in the sewer line. Staff was unable to free the hose and it had to be cut and left in the manhole where the Vactor
truck was parked. Staff then tried to video the sewer line but was unable to see the blockage because it was under
water. It was determined that the only way the blockage could be cleared is to install a new manhole where the jet
hose is stuck. This proposed manhole location was determined by the counter on the Vactor truck hose reel.
After the installation of the proposed manhole, staff will be able to determine the exact location of the blockage in the
sewer line. A second excavation may be required once the exact location is found. The sewer line is located near fiber
optic lines and if it is determined that the sanitary sewer was damaged during the installation of the fiber optic lines, the
City will file a claim against the fiber company. If the sewer line is not repaired at this time and the pipe collapses, by-
pass pumping will be required so that sewer service can be maintained to the north hill of Tukwila.
DISCUSSION
Four firms from the MRSC Small Works Roster were asked to submit quotes for this project. King Construction and
Omega Contractors elected not to bid due to scheduling conflicts. The low quote came from Green River Construction
in the amount of $34,164.00, including sales tax, bonding, and insurance. Green River Construction has done
successful work for the City in the past.

FINANCIAL IMPACT Estimate Results
Construction (includes tax) $30,670.95 $34,164.00
Contingency 10% 2,801.00 3,416.40
Total $33.471.95 $37,409.58
As this is an emergency repair, this project is not budgeted and construction costs will come from the Sewer Fund's
ending fund balance.
RECOMMENDATION
Council is being asked to approve the contract with Green River Construction, Inc. in the amount of $34,164.00 for the
installation of the proposed manhole and sewer line repair and consider this item at the October 28, 2013 Committee of
the Whole and subsequent November 4, 2013 Regular Meeting.

B. Bid Award - Sewer Repair at 6450 Southcenter Boulevard
Staff is seeking Council approval to award a bid to Green River Construction, Inc. in the amount of
$34,164.00 for the repair of the sanitary sewer line near 6450 Southcenter Boulevard. Staff discovered an
indeterminate blockage while recently cleaning and jetting the sewer line, which caused the hose to be stuck
and subsequently cut free. The blockage is going to be cleared by installing a new manhole at the point
where the hose is stuck. One possible cause is damage caused by the installation of fiber optic lines in that
area, and if that is the cause the City will file a claim for damages. The sewer line must be repaired now so
that sewer service can be maintained. Green River Construction was selected due to a low quote and
successful work for the City in the past. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO OCTOBER 28

SUBJECT: Permit User Fee for Technology lnvestments
(This item was also presented to CAP; based on the discussion, clarifying
information has been added to pages 2-3, high/ighted 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 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 Laoerfich8iS currently on hold due
to staffing limitations. Identifying a revenue source would enable the City to work through the
VV:\2013 Info Mem FeeMemnFS.doo 1 10/17/2013
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
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.
Project Cos Summary Purchase Cost
A. Total Software & Licensing $152,500
B. Implementation & P ject Management $ 83.250

K. Increase Data Storage Capacity for eP|8DS $ 14.710

1 Purchased with emergency management funds
Records ManaciementiAccessibility 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 staf time to iDlpOrt, 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 |ev8|, we are proposing to more efficiently meet the demand by
providing online accessibility of finalized permit records for the public to self-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 technotogy 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 benetit 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.

IL. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Contract - Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds for 2013 Minor Horne Repair Program
Staff is seeking Council approval for the Mayor to sign a contract with King County for the receipt of
$125,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds for the 2013 Minor Home Repair Program.
This program. administered by the Office of Human Services since 2005, provides home repair services
to low and moderate income homeowners and served 17 `Iukwila households in 2012. The cities of Des
Moines. Covington and SeaTac also participate in the program via interlocal agreement, with Tukwila
servingas fiscal agent. 64 households were served last year between all the participating cities. Staff was
asked to expand detail in the informational memo prior to the full Council review on 10/21.
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO THE OCTOBER 21 REGULAR CONSENT
AGENDA.
B. Lease Agreement - Way Back Inn
Staff is seeking Council approval to enter into another five year lease agreement with the Way Back Inn
for the property located at 15421 42°" Avenue South, also known as "Kennedy's Cottage." The Way Back
Inn provides free 90 -day transitional housing for families with at least one child under the age of 14. This
property passed inspection in 2012 and the Way Back Inn is in very good standing with the City with
regard to its program and its maintenance of the housing stock. The City Attorney reviewed the new lease
and suggested minor housekeeping updates. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO THE
OCTOBER 21 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA.
C. Permit User Fee for Technology Investments
Staff is seeking Council direction on the adoption of a new technology fee on building, public works and
land use permits. Revenues from the fee would offset the total $356,460 cost of the new "Trakit" permit
processing system as well as potentially fund the cost of preserving and providing electronic access to
current and historical permit records. A combination of technology fee revenue and funds from the
microfilming /digitizing budget would enable the Digital Records Coordinator position in the Office of the
City Clerk (currently at 3/4 time) to become full time in 2014. Trakit integrates with the City's digital
records repository through Laserfiche, providing web- based accessibility of finalized permit records to
the public, and would result in less staff time spent on processing public records requests.
A survey of other local jurisdictions indicated that many cities are applying a technology fee, and it is
either a flat fee, fee per sheet, or percentage of the permit fee ranging from 1.3 to 5 %. The Master
Builders Association has written a letter supportive of technology fees if the end result is better service.
Materials in the Committee packet provide estimated revenues from technology fees at varying
75

percentage levels for the past several years as well as for an average permit revenue of 1.3 million dollars.
For example, a technology fee set at 5% is estimated to bring in 565,000 annually. Staff recommends
that Council consider imposing the technology fee at the 5% level.
Provided for the Committee's review is a draft resolution that would impose a technology fee at the
recommended 5% level, eliminate hourly fees imposed on complex permits, and finally, consolidate
various but related fees into one schedule. There is a companion draft ordinance that would remove
permit fees from Tukwila Municipal Code 16.04, Buildings and Construction, in accordance with this
consolidation.
Committee members and staff discussed aspects of the fee including the percentage level, the time
required to pay back the capital investment on Trakit, and the fee's potential as an ongoing revenue
source. Additionally, the City Clerk clarified questions regarding the digitization project backlog.
Committee members were supportive of the fee but plan to have further discussion of the percentage level
at the Committee of the Whole. Discussion and decision making regarding the level of funding for
records management will be part of the 2014 budget review. The Finance and Safety Committee is also
going to receive a briefing on this topic at its October 22 meeting. FORWARD TO OCTOBER 28
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE FOR DISCUSSION.
MISCELLANEOUS
While Human Services staff members were present, Committee Chair Ekberg requested an update on the
status of the families and individuals who were relocated as a result of the hotel seizures of August 27, 2013.
Staff gave an update and reported that 3 -4 households have obtained permanent housing since then.
Meeting adjourned at 5:53 p.m.

public, and would result in less staff time spent on processing public records requests.
A survey of other local jurisdictions indicates that many cities are applying a technology fee, and it is
either a flat fee, fee per sheet, or percentage of the permit fee ranging from 1.3 to 5 %. Materials in the
Committee packet provide estimated revenues from technology fees at varying percentage levels for the
past several years as well as for an average permit revenue of 1.3 million dollars. For example, a
technology fee set at 5% is estimated to bring in $65,000 annually. Staff recommends that Council
consider imposing the technology fee at the 5% level. Provided for the Committee's review is a draft
resolution that would impose a technology fee at the recommended 5% level, eliminate hourly fees
imposed on complex permits, and finally, consolidate various but related fees into one schedule. There is a
companion draft ordinance that would remove permit fees from Tukwila Municipal Code 16.04, Buildings

The Community Affairs and Parks Committee also received a briefing on this proposal at its October 14
meeting, and in response to questions that arose then, the memo was updated to include information about
the level of service provided by the comparison cities in Attachment A. None of the surveyed cities offer
online accessibility to finalized permit records as Tukwila would under the 5% fee proposal. The revised
Attachment A also includes a column indicating whether the comparison city imposes a B &O tax. A new
table was added that shows a 10 year payback period for Trakit and the remaining available funds at
different fee levels for digital records and technology replacement.
After discussion and clarification of questions, Committee members were supportive of the fee at the 5%
level. Decision - making regarding the level of funding for records management will be part of the 2014
budget review if the fee is approved by Council. FORWARD TO OCTOBER 28 COMMITTEE OF
THE WHOLE.
E. Ordinance — Interfering with Traffic
Staff is seeking Council approval of an ordinance that would establish new regulations relating to
interfering with traffic to be codified as Chapter 9.21 in the Tukwila Municipal Code. Conduct by
pedestrians interfering with traffic in City rights -of -way not only causes congestion but is a public safety
concern. This proposal would replace the current ordinance prohibiting certain types of solicitation, which
does not address traffic interference by all types of pedestrians. The proposed ordinance would prohibit
traffic interference in a public right -of -way and establish penalties for violation. In practice, officers who
observed such activity would give the violator a written warning before issuing the infraction.
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO OCTOBER 28 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
F. Ordinance — Ethics Code
As follow up to the Committee's requests from the October 8 meeting, City Attorney Shelley Kerslake
returned with a proposed ordinance that establishes a single ethics code for elected officials, appointed
officials, and City employees. The proposal establishes an appointed Ethics Board which would receive
complaints of ethics violations and make an initial determination of sufficiency. Following an
investigation by an independent investigator, Council would make the final determination based upon the
facts. The revised proposal also includes a new section regarding penalty options for elected officials.

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
Mayor Haggerton
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.

D. Permit User Fee for Technology Investments
Staff is seeking Council direction on the adoption of a new technology fee on building, public works and
land use permits. Revenues from the fee would offset the total $356,460 cost of the new "Trakit" permit
processing system as well as potentially fund the cost of preserving and providing electronic access to
current and historical permit records. A combination of technology fee revenue and funds from the
microfilming /digitizing budget would enable the Digital Records Coordinator position in the Office of the
City Clerk (currently at 3/4 time) to become full time in 2014. Trakit integrates with the City's digital
records repository through Laserfiche, providing web -based accessibility of finalized permit records to the
public, and would result in less staff time spent on processing public records requests.
A survey of other local jurisdictions indicates that many cities are applying a technology fee, and it is
either a flat fee, fee per sheet, or percentage of the permit fee ranging from 1.3 to 5 %. Materials in the
Committee packet provide estimated revenues from technology fees at varying percentage levels for the
past several years as well as for an average permit revenue of 1.3 million dollars. For example, a
technology fee set at 5% is estimated to bring in $65,000 annually. Staff recommends that Council
consider imposing the technology fee at the 5% level. Provided for the Committee's review is a draft
resolution that would impose a technology fee at the recommended 5% level, eliminate hourly fees
imposed on complex permits, and finally, consolidate various but related fees into one schedule. There is a
companion draft ordinance that would remove permit fees from Tukwila Municipal Code 16.04, Buildings
and Construction, in accordance with this consolidation.
The Community Affairs and Parks Committee also received a briefing on this proposal at its October 14
meeting, and in response to questions that arose then, the memo was updated to include information about
the level of service provided by the comparison cities in Attachment A. None of the surveyed cities offer
online accessibility to finalized permit records as Tukwila would under the 5% fee proposal. The revised
Attachment A also includes a column indicating whether the comparison city imposes a B &O tax. A new
table was added that shows a 10 year payback period for Trakit and the remaining available funds at
different fee levels for digital records and technology replacement.
After discussion and clarification of questions, Committee members were supportive of the fee at the 5%
level. Decision - making regarding the level of funding for records management will be part of the 2014
budget review if the fee is approved by Council. FORWARD TO OCTOBER 28 COMMITTEE OF
THE WHOLE.

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.

II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Ordinance —Civil Service Commission
Staff is seeking Council approval of an ordinance that would revise Tukwila Municipal Code Chapter 2.42,
Civil Service Commission, to reflect the current provisions of Revised Code of Washington 41.04.010,
governing the use of Veteran's Points in hiring and promotional processes. Candidates eligible for
Veteran's Points can claim either a 10% or 5% credit to their score, depending on retirement status. The
proposed ordinance is also in alignment with recently revised civil service rules. UNANIMOUS
APPROVAL. FORWARD TO NOVEMBER 4 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA.
B. Resolution — Council Benefits
Staff is seeking Council approval of a resolution that would update health insurance benefits for
Councilmembers in response to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) of 2007. Since
2001, Councilmembers have received a benefit in which they can receive reimbursement for eligible
medical expenses up to $3,400 per year, but this option is prohibited under the PPACA. Enrollment in the
City Self - Insured Medical Plan or Group Health Cooperative will be the medical benefit options for
Councilmembers as of January 1. The monthly premium for individual Councilmembers would be paid by
the City as it is for employees ($509.94 for City Self - Insured and 717.98 for Group Health).
As follow up to the October 8 committee discussion, staff returned with an updated draft resolution that
includes the option to enroll in the Group Health Cooperative and adds a recital explaining the impetus for
the change. Staff also provided clarification on the tier of coverage for a Councilmember already
possessing coverage via their employer and their spouse's employer. In this scenario, the City coverage
becomes second tier, and the spouse's employer coverage falls to third. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.
FORWARD TO OCTOBER 28 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
C. Resolution — Cancellation of Past Due Accounts Receivable
Staff is seeking Council approval of the annual resolution that would declare the cancellation of
uncollectible accounts receivable. The total for this year is $30,702.97, which is higher than last year due
to a complete foundation and signal pole assembly replacement as well as a hit and run damage to a
pedestrian pole. Staff reviewed the rigorous process by which items are determined to be uncollectible.
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO NOVEMBER 4 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA.
