BACKGROUND Alliance One is the company Tukwila Municipal Court contracts with to provide collection services for unpaid court fines and fees and also manages long -term payment plans for our customers not in collections. In May 2009, Alliance One began leasing space with the City of Tukwila. Per RCW 35A.11.010 and 35A.11.020 all lease agreements must go before City Council for authorization. DISCUSSION Per direction from the Council in August, 2013 Administration continued the lease agreement with Alliance One Management Receivables through December 31, 2013. We are proposing to extend the lease agreement through December 31, 2014, to coincide with the biennium budget cycle, as well as a 10% increase ($75 /month) in the monthly rent as there has not been an increase since 2011.

CITY OF TUKWILA ALLIANCE ONE MANAGEMENT RECEIVABLES, INC. Jim Haggerton, Mayor ATTEST /AUTHENTICATED City Clerk Harry Neerenberg, CFO APPROVED AS TO FORM City Attorney Alliance One Management Receivables Inc. Amendment #1 Page 1 of 1 55 56 Finance & Safety Committee Minutes November 19, 2013 — Page 3 E. Contract Amendment with Berk and Associates Staff is seeking Council approval of an amendment to the contract with Berk and Associates for services relating to Strategic Plan implementation. This amendment would extend the contract through 2014 and will not exceed $65,000, funding for which will continue from the Mayor's Office 2013/2014 budget. Project components include facilitated work sessions with City leadership and the development of action oriented work plans. Berk has engaged in extensive work with the City thus far and has great understanding of its unique strengths and challenges. In response to questions and discussion from Committee members, staff confirmed that Berk does have a role in public outreach and engagement efforts. After this contract renewal expires at the end of 2014, it is reasonable to expect that Berk's primary relationship to the Strategic Plan implementation will end. Staff noted that Brian Murphy's hourly rate will be corrected to $200 /hour in the budget on the second page of the Scope of Work. This does not affect the dollar amount for the contract amendment. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO DECEMBER 2 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA. F. Lease Agreement Amendment with Alliance One Receivables Staff is seeking Council approval of an amendment to the lease agreement with Alliance One Receivables Management, Inc. that would extend the lease through December 31, 2014 and increase the monthly rent by 10% to $825. Committee members had no questions. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO DECEMBER 2 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA. G. Council Review and Approval Process for Vouchers At its September 17 meeting, the Committee requested staff return with information about the process and legal standard for Council approval of vouchers. It has been the Council's practice for an individual Councilmember, selected on a rotating basis, to review and sign off on vouchers prior to the full Council's approval in a Regular meeting. The RCW and the State Auditor's BARS manual grants the governing body the responsibility to "ensure that the system of auditing and certifying vouchers is operating in a manner to provide the greatest possible protection for the governing body members and the municipality." The City's current financial management system has numerous procedural checks and balances, including review and approval by the initiating department director, the Accounts Payable Fiscal Specialist, the Accounts Payable Fiscal Coordinator and the Finance Director. The level of review provided by the Council is a matter of judgment and confidence placed in the existing controls of the financial management system. The City's procurement policy and procedures will be reviewed in 2014 and voucher approval will be re- addressed then. Further discussion by Committee members revealed that they like having the access and opportunity for voucher review, but there is disparity between the detail of review provided by each of them. The Committee asked Finance Director Peggy McCarthy to state her expectation of the individual Council review. She mentioned that it is a learning opportunity for the Councilmember to learn fund numbers and gain a general understanding of the City's expenditures. The reviewing Councilmember should understand the nature of transactions, be comfortable with the business purposes of spending, be alert to large, unusual, or sensitive items, and gain confidence that transactions are consistent with City policies. The Committee asked the Council Analyst to work with staff to add similar language to the draft Council Policy on Voucher Review that is scheduled to come before the Committee of the Whole on November 25. A related issue regarding Council signoff on payroll expenditures will be further explored in 2014 INFORMATION ONLY. 57
