This agreement pertains to the departmental relationship with the South King County Training Consortium for the purpose of defining the participation of the Tukwila Fire Department and of partnering and participating agencies, and which defines the funding /contribution level to be borne by the City of Tukwila. BACKGROUND The Tukwila Fire Department entered into the South King County Training Consortium in January of 2012. The relationship has proven to be extremely beneficial, and our department has gained much more than we could have possibly imagined or projected. It is important to note that through planning and execution, the consortium ensures that our members meet all applicable laws and standards associated with their job requirements. Previous to our participation, it would have been difficult to validate that same benchmark. Our original contribution was determined to be two .75 FTE's employees assigned to the consortium. Both of the Training Division Captains were reassigned, for the associated period and workload, to the Kent Regional Fire Authority Training Facility under the supervision of a KRFA Battalion Chief. While analyzing the first two years of our participation in the consortium the Kent Regional Fire Authority has determined that they had absorbed costs associated with the participation of our employees. They have proposed increasing the participation of both captains to .85 FTE, and have presented the case for a nominal charge to offset administrative and supply costs. DISCUSSION The Assistant City Attorney has reviewed the agreement and has indicated that the Interlocai Agreement is compliant and has recommended that it be moved forward for approval by the City Council. It is the opinion of the Tukwila Fire Administration that our participation in the consortium has affected some of the most positive changes in our organizational readiness than could be attributed to any single program or event in the past decade, and that our investment in this consortium has and will continue to help the department to meet goal four, that of being a high performing organization, of the city strategic plan. FINANCIAL IMPACT The Kent Regional Fire Authority has communicated a fee of $13,800.00. This fee will cover overhead and administrative costs that exceed our contribution of two .85 FTE's and whose calculated value totals $255,000.00, as demonstrated on the attached cover sheet. The formula for determining this calculation was applied to all participating agencies in a uniform manner. The agency cost to be contributed by the City of Tukwila can be charged to Account Number 000 11 522 400 49 00 within the confines of the 2014 budget, reference page 207 of the City of Tukwila 2013 -2014 Biennial Budget. 117 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 RECOMMENDATION The Council is being asked to approve the agreement, and consider this item at the November 12, 2013 Committee of the Whole meeting and subsequent November 18, 2013 Regular Meeting.

II. BUSINESS AGENDA A. Grant Acceptance: Emergency Management Performance Staff is seeking Council approval to accept a $58,102.00 Emergency Management Performance grant from the Washington State Military Department and US Department of Homeland Security. This is the third year that the City has been awarded this grant, which will be used to fund 50% of the CERT Coordinator /Public Educator position as well as equipment and supplies for emergency management programs. The grant requires a 50% City match which has been met and exceeded. MAJORITY APPROVAL. FORWARD TO NOVEMBER 18 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA. B. Interlocal Agreement: Regional Fire Training Consortium Staff is seeking Council approval to enter into an Interlocal Agreement with the Kent Regional Fire Authority (KRFA) that would renew the City's participation in the South King County Training Consortium. The Tukwila Fire Department has belonged to this consortium since January 2012 and it has been of great benefit to the City. After reviewing the last two years of participation, the KRFA is proposing a new fee of $13,800.00 to be applied to overhead and administrative costs. In addition, the two .75 FTE Training Division Captains assigned to the training facility will be increased to ,85 FTE, The Fire Department's training budget will absorb these costs, which represent a compromise from the original proposal by the KRFA. MAJORITY APPROVAL. FORWARD TO NOVEMBER 12 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE. C. Ordinance: Amending Tukwila Munici +al Code Section 2.68.026 Municipal Jude Salar Staff is seeking Council approval of an ordinance that would fix the salary for the Municipal Judge as required by the Revised Code of Washington. This proposal increases the Judge's position from .75 to .85 FTE and calculates the salary at .85 of the salary set for District Court Judges in the Salary Schedule annually adopted by the Washington Citizen's Commission on Salaries for Elected Officials. Benefits will also be prorated at 85 %. It is the Mayor's intention to reappoint Kimberly Walden as Municipal Judge, which will be subject to confirmation by the City Council by a separate action later this month. MAJORITY APPROVAL. FORWARD TO NOVEMBER 12 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE. D. Ordinance: Amending Revenue Generating Regulatory License (RGRL) Fee Staff is seeking Council approval of an ordinance that would amend Tukwila Municipal Code 5.04.02 to exempt residential rental properties with 4 or fewer units from the Revenue Generating Regulatory License (RGRL) fee and eliminate the existing RGRL exemption applicable to residential rental properties with gross annual receipts of less than $12,000. This simplified process will have the benefit of reducing Code Enforcement staff time associated with explaining the fee as well as with identifying criteria under the 135
