From: Chief Oliva
Subject: Donation of Equijment
Date: April 11, 2007
With a portion of our Sound Transit funds, we recently replaced all of our hose and all of
our nozzles. One of our former firefighters is the chief of Salmon River Rural Fire
Department in Idaho. His department covers 320 square miles and has a very limited
budget (please see his letter to me dated September 5, 2005). He has requested of any
surplus equipment we have available.
The surplus pumper we were authorized to donate to OSC (Occupational Skills Center)
was damaged at a recent practice burn we held; as a result of the extent of damage, OSC
has declined to accept the pumper.
I request permission to donate the following items to the Salmon River Rural Fire
Depai tment:
42 fifty- foot lengths of 1 3 /4" hose
1
82 fifty -foot lengths of 2 /2 hose
44 one hundred- foot lengths of 5" hose
11 twenty five -foot lengths of 5" hose
13 1 nozzles
13 21/2 nozzles
5 Booster Line nozzles
1 Monitor /deck gun
1 1986 surplus (damaged) International Pumper
According to one of our sales representatives, the surplus hose and nozzles have an
approximate value of $3,115.00 This figure is based on $10.00 for each length of 1 3 /4
hose; $15.00 for each length of 2 1/2" hose; $20.00 for each 100' length 5" hose; $10.00
for each 50' length of 5" hose; $10.00 for each 1 1/2" nozzle; $15.00 for each 2 nozzle;
$150.00 for the monitor /deck gun.
The original estimated value of the surplus pumper, prior to being damaged was:
$6500.00; the new estimated value of the pumper is: $2,500.00.
The total estimated value of this donation is: $5615.00
I will be at the Finance and Safety Committee meeting to answer any questions you have
regarding this request.

September 5, 2005
Dear Chief Olivas:
I enjoyed my visit with you and the crew that was on duty. Per our conversation I am
writing to you in regards to the equipment that the Tukwila Fire Department may be
replacing. Our annual budget is about Thirty thousand dollars. As you know that does
not go very far. Salmon River Rural Fire Department is a subscription fire department
and our only source of income to purchase equipment is by the dues from our subscribers.
Our (6) stations provide fire coverage for 320 square miles. I am enclosing a brief
description of our equipment. By looking at this you can see that we are in need of better
equi}pinent. Any and all equipment that you could donate to the Salmon River Rural Fire
Department would be appreciated. Our nozzles are the plastic hose station type that fit
our inch and half single jacket hose. Our two and half inch hose is cotton double jacket
with old navy type brass nozzles. The ladders that are on the trucks are old wood ladders
from Los Angles Fire Departments or hardware store type ladders. Since taking the helm
our department has been taking classes and training in Extrication, Haz -mat, Terrorism,
EMS first responder, Wildland Fire fighting, and basic Fire Fighting for Structural,
NIMS, ICS. A lot of our Firefighters are retired from other job areas. Since we h .Ve been
assisting the USFS in two wildlatid fires over here we have found that our equipment is
not adequate enough to do the job that is required of our department. If you have any
questions or need further information please don't hesitate to call or contact me.
Sincerely yours,
Salinon River Rural Fire Department
Dennis McCollum, Fire Chief

II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Seattle Southside Brand Expansion
Derek Speck and Katherine Kertzman informed the Committee of the collaborative economic
development efforts of the Southwest King County Economic Development Initiative (SKCEDI).
SKDECI is seeking to secure a consistent identity/brand that will assist in attracting businesses to the
South King County area. SKDECI has requested the use of the Seattle Southside logo, brand and
tagline for this collaborative marketing effort.
Katherine is in favor of this request and believes it will assist in attracting businesses without harming
tourism efforts. This will not take the place of individual city marketing. Katherine's primary function
in this effort will be to ensure that this organization uses the Seattle Southside brand consistently.
Jim Haggerton asked what would be involved in licensing the Seattle Southside brand for the use by
other organizations. Derek responded that a simple contract could be sufficient. Joan Hernandez
inquired if any funds are budgeted for this specific initiative. Derek stated that there are no new funds
budgeted. Each city in SKDECI has agreed to commit $7,500. Derek has determined that these funds
will be taken from the Economic Development budget. Derek stated that although this is a not a high
priority in our economic development plan, if we are to be a good regional economic partner, it is
important for us to participate. He is hopeful that these efforts will improve the Tukwila image for
fr Class A office space. INFORMATION ONLY.
Surplus of Fire Equipment
New fire equipment acquisitions have recently been made with Sound Transit funds. As a result of
these purchases, the Fire Department has requested surplus fire equipment as itemized on Agenda
Packet page 3 be donated to Salmon River Rural Fire Department in Idaho. This surplus equipment
includes a 1986 International Pumper which was originally slated for donation to OCS until it was
damaged in a practice burn and subsequently declined by OCS for donation. Joan Hernandez
suggested that a whereas be added to the existing/original resolution for donation of the pumper to
OCS designating the pumper as damaged so that there are not two resolutions designating the same
pumper to two separate entities. Chief Olivas will follow -up with the Clerk's Office on this matter.
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO APRIL 23 COW.

INFORMATION MEMO
To: Mayor Mullet
From: Steve Lancaster, Director, DCD
Date: April 18, 2007
Subject: Tukwila Pond Water Quality Consultant Recommendation
Project Number 03 -PK10
ISSUE
Approval of Tetra Tech, Inc. to carry out a detailed feasibility study and design for
improving water quality in Tukwila Pond. This issue was reviewed by the CAP at its
meeting on April 10 at which it was agreed to forward it to the COW.
BACKGROUND
The City carried out a planning process in 2006 with the Council, Parks Board, Planning
Commission and staff to identify goals for Tukwila Pond as an enhanced urban amenity,
centerpiece for the Tukwila Urban Center Plan, and wildlife conservation area (see the
attached, approved concept plan). In addition to enhancing Tukwila Pond for public and
wildlife use, one of the areas of concern is the need to improve water quality and reduce
potentially harmful algal blooms in the summer. A very preliminary screening study was
carried out in 2006 to identify potential methods and technologies that could be used to
improve water quality in the pond. This preliminary study identified the need for
additional information and more detailed feasibility study, including water quality
monitoring. The DCD urban environmentalist has been conducting ongoing water
quality monitoring since September with the support of the Fire Department. This
proposed consultant contract is to conduct the detailed feasibility study and design. It
will also provide cost estimates for construction.
The work under this contract will be carried out concurrently with the Tukwila Pond Trail
and Boardwalk contract being managed by Parks and Recreation to take the Tukwila
Pond Conceptual Design to the 55% design level. The water quality consultant and the
landscape architect consultant will be coordinating on design issues that relate to water
quality (such as survey data, floating dock design, and other issues).

ANALYSIS
A Request for Proposal was prepared by staff and sent out to five firms that were short-
listed from the current consultant roster due to their qualifications in the area of lake
management and water quality engineering. The five firms were:
ESA Adolfson Associates
Envirovision, Inc.
Herrera Environmental
Parametrix
Tetra Tech, Inc.
Two proposals were submitted in response to the RFP and were reviewed by a committee
made up of DCD and Public Works staff. The review was based on the consultant's
experience and expertise with lake management projects, quality of the technical
proposal, schedule and reasonableness of the proposed budget for each task. The
committee selected Tetra Tech because it was agreed that the firm's extensive
qualifications and experience, strengths in engineering and the quality of the technical
proposal were clearly better than the other consultant team.
Tetra Tech is familiar with Tukwila Pond, as the firm carried out water quality
monitoring in 1995 in conjunction with the development of Tukwila Pond Park. Tetra
Tech also conducted the screening analysis in 2006. The firm has highly qualified and
experienced staff in lake management issues. Therefore, Tetra Tech is recommended for
this project.
The projected schedule for the project is May through December of 2007. Staff will brief
the CAP on preliminary findings, design and costs estimates in the fall.
RECOMMENDATION
Forward to the Council for action at the May 7 meeting.

The following is a brief description of the scope of work to be performed by Tetra Tech (Tt) in support of
the City of Tukwila's efforts to improve the environmental condition of Tukwila Pond.
Task 1 Data Review. Tt will review existing data provide by the City and identify data gaps. The City
will also provide Tt infrastructure drawing of information as requested for Tt feasibility study of
alternatives. It is assumed that Pond inflows and outflows will be monitored by the City for quantity as
well as Pond level in order to determine a water budget. Phosphorus content of inflows and groundwater
will also be determined in samples collected by City personnel.
Task 2 Conceptual Phosphorus Model. Tt will construct a simple conceptual mass balance model using
the water and phosphorus budgets with chlorophyll prediction to illustrate the probably importance and
magnitude of internal versus external loading seasonally and to estimate relative impact of alternative
implementation.
Task 3 Stormwater Recommendations. Tt will make Stormwater management recommendations,
treatment of external phosphorus sources will be considered with respect to their relative magnitude of
effect on the Pond seasonally relative to cost. These best management practices will be sustainable
biofiltration or infiltration type systems.
Task 4 SW Pond Planting Plan. Tt will provide a southwest pond planting plan. The key to identifying
the plants that will successfully establish in this section of the pond is based on developing an
understanding of the sediment and inundation cycle, which Tt will do through direct observation and City
input.
Task 5 Feasibility Study. Tt will conduct a feasibility/design study analysis, a preliminary assessment of
the causes for the pond's poor quality relative to type and prospects for in -pond quality control activities
to be included in this analysis include circulation, hydroponic docks, P- inactivation, and dilution. This
assessment and estimates of environmental benefits will be further refined with additional data during the
study.
Task 6 Design and Cost Estimate. Based on the results of the feasibility analysis Tt will design in -lake
activities. Tt will provide preliminary and final design drawings, specifications and costs for installing
recommended techniques.
Task 7 Operation and Maintenance Plan. Tt will produce an operation and maintenance plan, with
guidance for maintenance of recommended control activities based on technology and team experience.
Task 8 Monitoring Plan. Tt will recommend an ongoing pond monitoring plan for adaptive management
uses in future years.
Task 9 Contingency Plan. Tt will design a emergency contingency plan to take effect if implemented
control measure fails to meet expectations in a given year. For example, if an algal bloom develops after
the hydroponic docks are established an alum treatment will be planned and may be employed as a
contingency measure.
Tasks 10 Permit Support. Tt will assist the City by identifying required permits and by preparing permit
application materials.
Task 11 Meetings. Tt will prepare for and attend three meetings with City Staff to discuss findings and
recommended activities and design specifics.
Task 12 Project Management. Tt project management will be conducted for team coordination and direct
communication with City staff, product quality assurance and control will be conducted as well as
monthly invoicing under this task.

II. BUSINESS AGENDA
a) Expanding Seattle Southside brand to include regional economic development
Derek Speck introduced the agenda item. The Southwest King County Economic Development Initiative
(SKCEDI) is a collaboration of the cities of Burien, Des Moines, Normandy Park, SeaTac, and Tukwila
plus King County, the Port of Seattle, and Hi &line Community College. SKCEDI will be jointly marketing
the area to attract business and development and needs an identity to use for the printed marketing materials
and website. The group is considering using the Seattle Southside brand and is seeking feedback on this
approach from the Cities of Tukwila and SeaTac, since they own the brand. Tukwila and SeaTac city staff
are checking with their respective lodging tax committees, administration, and elected officials. Staff is
also checking with representatives from the business and development sectors. Katherine Kertzman
described the genesis of the Seattle Southside brand and how it has been used for attracting tourists to our
region. She explained that with the proper safeguards to protect the use of the brand, the Seattle Southside
brand could be used for business attraction without harming the tourism efforts. Councilmember Robertson
asked about the benefits to Seattle Southside, and the City of Tukwila and if it would distract from Seattle
Southside's tourism efforts. Ms. Kertzman indicated that expansion of the brand's awareness will benefit
the tourism efforts and that regional growth helps Tukwila, and she doesn't anticipate needing additional
resources for this proposal. Councilmember Carter indicated she thought this was a good idea.
Councilmember Linder commented that what helps neighboring cities helps Tukwila. INFORMATION
ONLY
b) Tukwila Pond Water Oualitv Consultant Contract
Sandra Whiting introduced the agenda item and described the process for soliciting and selecting a
consultant to conduct a feasibility study and design for improving water quality in Tukwila Pond. An RFP
was sent to five firms. Two proposals were received and a staff committee judged Tetra Tech, Inc. as the
best proposal based on their experience, the technical proposal and the budget. Staff also checked
references, which were all positive. Work would be complete by end of 2007. Ms. Whiting mentioned that
the primary challenge will be controlling phosphorus levels in the water and the study will look at number
of alternatives. She sees no conflicts between the water quality design work and the landscape design
project being managed by Parks and Recreation and doesn't think it needs to wait until completion of the
water quality study. In fact the two projects were designed to proceed concurrently and coordination
between the two consultants is planned. Councilmember Robertson commented that with the City's vision
for the Urban Center that encourages more development and residential activity that the water quality study
Community Affairs and Parks Committee Meeting Minutes April 10. 2007 Page 2
should not limit itself only to low -cost or "in- pond "solutions. He asked if we have looked at other potential
problems besides phosphorous. Ms. Whiting said she has examined bacteria loads but has not found a
problem. Also, she believes that the consultant will be looking at the best technical options for improving
the pond water quality. Councilmember Carter expressed support for the study and the concept of the pond
being a habitat rather than a place for people to swim. Mr. Pace offered to share the preliminary analysis in
September before all of the analysis is completed. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO COW.
As a related issue, the committee discussed the consultant selection for the Tukwila Pond Park design
Phase I that was discussed at the April 9, 2007 Council meeting. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.
c) Code Amendments
SEPA
Nora Gierloff introduced this item. It would streamline the SEPA process and thresholds to eliminate
review or shorten timelines for smaller projects when environmental impacts are unlikely. Ms. Gierloff
referred to the table in the agenda report that compared Tukwila's thresholds to the State maximum and the
proposed. Mr. Pace noted that most buildings would go through a design review process. Mr. Lancaster
mentioned that with traffic concurrency and impact fee systems, we no longer rely on SEPA for mitigating
traffic impacts like we once did. Councilmember Robertson asked if these changes would reduce our ability
to control small infill developments on hillsides. Mr. Pace indicated that our sensitive areas ordinance
addresses steep slope sites and tree permits and other regulations still apply. Councilmember Carter asked
what would catch environmental issues like underground storage tanks? Mr. Pace and Ms. Whiting
explained that owners have a responsibility to disclose and often the lenders require the analysis. Mr.
Lancaster said that if an owner didn't disclose it, SEPA wouldn't have caught it anyway. Councilmember
Robertson asked how these changes would have affected the City's process on a previous Fosterview
development. Mr. Lancaster indicated that it would have had no effect on Fosterview, since that
development included more than 9 dwelling units. He acknowledged it might eliminate a source of
information that citizens are used to receiving on smaller residential developments (those between 4 and 9
units). He also noted that if any of the thresholds in the table are exceeded, SEPA is triggered, even if the
proposed development is below any of the other thresholds.. Councilmember Robertson expressed support
for the changes but also a desire to keep tools for the City to ensure the right kind of development.
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL ON ALL CHANGES BUT KEEPING THE RESIDENTIAL
CONSTRUCTION THRESHOLD AT FOUR DWELLING UNITS INSTEAD OF THE PROPOSED
NINE. FORWARD TO COW.
TOWNHOUSES
Nora Gierloff introduced this item. It would change the Zoning Code to allow for development of fee
simple townhomes. Some changes, such as minimum lot area, average lot width, setbacks and landscaping,
would be necessary to allow fee simple townhouses since our development standards are based on a multi-
family garden apai talent style. Other changes would be necessary to enable a development pattern and
density closer to the style of townhouses being built in other cities. One question is how prescriptive does
Tukwila want to be on open space, such as requiring decks or onsite playgrounds, etc. Another issue is how
to treat setbacks. The City's current tiered set -back standards may make development of fee simple
economically infeasible. Councilmember Robertson expressed concern about the effects of eliminating the
tiered set -back standards. Councilmember Carter emphasized that the design review process must address
all sides of a building, not just the front. Ms. Gierloff discussed the current 50% development coverage
limitation. Councilmember Robertson mentioned that using pervious surfaces (such as grasscrete) may be
needed to ensure the development's environmental impact is not greater than development under today's
standards. Councilmember Carter indicated this issue can be dealt with as the townhouse proposal goes
through the approval process. She also expressed an interest in fence height being included in the design
review process to minimize the amount of blank, high and solid walls facing the streets. FORWARD TO
COW FOR DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION.
HOUSEKEEPING
Nora Gierloff introduced this item on four amendments to the Zoning Code related to: permit processing,
limitation on additions to homes that do not meet setbacks, retaining wall setbacks, and administrative
variance for lot size. FORWARD TO PLANNING COMMISSION.

Subject: Duwamish Gardens Acquisition
King County Agreement for Services
Project No. 06 -DRO2
ISSUE
Approve an agreement with King County for land acquisition services for this project.
BACKGROUND
The Duwamish Gardens site is 2.18 acres located adjacent to the Duwamish River. The site is
in the high priority "transition zone" between fresh water and salt water. The transition zone
was identified in the WRIA 9 Salmon Recovery Plan as the area in most need of habitat

King County is taking the lead as the WRIA 9 Service Provider for the WRIA 9 Interlocal
Agreement that Tukwila is a party to. They are tasked with implementing the recommendations
of the WRIA 9 Salmon Recovery Plan, which includes securing property for restoration within
the transition zone. Property secured for restoration purposes within Tukwila will become
owned and maintained by the City.
ACTION TAKEN
City staff is working in partnership with WRIA 9 staff members to secure funding for
acquisition of this site. To date, a total of $726,000 of funding has been secured with
$1,034,000 pending.
In order to complete the appraisal process, write a purchase and sale agreement, negotiate the
purchase of this site, and conduct a hazardous waste and archeological investigation, King
County needs authorization to act on the City's behalf and allow for reimbursement through
grant funds for the appraisal and staff time. Funding for this contract will be through a
combination of grant funding and City matching funds.

II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Duwamish Gardens Acauisitions
Jim Morrow and Ryan Larsen discussed the need for the City to secure an agreement for land
acquisition services from King County for 2.18 acres of land referred to as Duwamish Gardens
(also known as Carasino property). This agreement will allow King County to conduct services
and work as the City's agent to determine project feasibility of acquiring said land for salmon
habitat restoration within the transition zone (transition between fresh water and salt water). King
County is being recommended for these contract services since they are taking the Iead as the
WRIA 9 Service Provider in addition to retaining the expertise of appraising such property for
habitat restoration.
Staff confirmed that funding for this agreement will be taken from exiting grant monies. The
current grant states that if the project is determined as "not feasible," the City will need to
reimburse 50% of the grant funds. A "not feasible" determination would cost the City at most
$50,000, which has already been budgeted in the CIP. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.
FORWARD AGREEMENT OF SERVICES TO COW FOR DISCUSSION AND
REGULAR COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL.
Daniel Tempkin, Amalfi Investmant, LLC., attended the meeting as an owners representative of
the land located adjacent to the Carasino property. The land is currently leased to Overnight
Transportation (recently acquired by United Parcel Service). Mr. Tempkin contacted Ryan
Larsen when the Carasino's mentioned to him that the City was working on a project adjacent to
their property. Amalfi Investments has an interest in purchasing the property currently owned by
the Carasino's in order to expand current land operations. Knowing that the City may be
interested in purchasing the same land, Mr. Tempkin expressed an interest in establishing a
collaborative working relationship with the City in the event the City seeks property acquisition.
Mr. Tempkin desires to remain vigilant in safeguarding the interests of his investors, as well as
supporting City sponsored habitat restoration. Due to some recent experiences with Sound
Transit, Amalfi Investments does not want to feel forced to purchase the property. Mr. Tempkin
is in attendance at this meeting in a good faith effort to work with the City. His company may be

interested in exchanging approximately 200 feet of their property on the river bank adjacent to
the west side of the Carasino property for some of the commercial land on the northeast side of
the Carasino property if a purchase is made.
Mr. Morrow assured Mr. Tempkin that this is only a proposed project at this time, and that the
property in question will not be considered for acquisition until King County is able to determine
the feasibility of the project. The current unknowns of this proposed project make it difficult to
provide specific answers and secured commitments at this time. Mr. Tempkin has been invited to
continue attending subsequent meetings and was encouraged to continue working with Ryan
Larsen regarding these interests.
B. Fire Station No. 52 Female Restroom Construction Project Completion and Acceptance
Bob Giberson reported on the recent completion of the restroom construction at Fire Station No.
52. This fully ADA compliant restroom will accommodate females. One change order was made
to include storage in the area, and the project was completed with a slight underrun. Bob stated
that the contractor is very conscious and was well received by the Fire Department.

improvements are roughly $2.5 million. Mr. Morrow has written a letter to the residents providing
them with this preliminary information. In addition, Public Works will sponsor a meeting at TCC on
May 2, 2007, at 7:00 p.m., for these residents in order to further explain the LID information, options
and assessment costs. At the meeting, staff will determine if residents still have an interest in the
Local Improvement District. If residents decided to move forward, Ivir. Morrow will bring the issue
back to the Committee.

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor Mullet
From: Director of Emergency Managemei
Date: April 17, 2007 1U3��
Subject: Emergency Preparedness Are We Ready?
ISSUE:
Prepare a prioritized list of emergency preparedness needs.
BACKGROUND:
In today's world, emergencies and disasters take many forms, including natural disasters,
technological and infrastructure failures, terrorist attacks, and health emergencies such as
pandemic disease outbreaks. A well planned and implemented response is vital to the safety and
well -being of Tukwila's citizens; an ineffective response, on the other hand, threatens our First
Responder Team, our citizens and their property, and can exacerbate damages to the City and its
economy.
Over the past three years, the City has had to respond to a variety of events: four flooding events,
typical winter storms, and a severe windstollli. Overall the City has done an excellent job in
planning, responding, and recovering from these events. The City has been lucky because the
events have been relatively short- termed and the First Responder Team (Police, Fire and Public
Works) has been able to handle the incidents. However, the City is unprepared for a sustained,
major disaster that would require full mobilization of its emergency management organization.
DISCUSSION:
Since the official establishment of Tukwila's Emergency Management Program in May 2003,
after action reports and end -of -year program status reports have consistently identified a number
of deficiencies that should be corrected if the City is to be better prepared. What follows is a
status update that addresses identified deficiencies to include a brief description of the
deficiency, the proposed corrective action, and the cost (personnel and dollars) to implement.
Corrective Actions Completed To Date
1. Designated an Emergency Management Director
2. All Hazards Emergency Management Plan has been written (Before NIMS).
3. Created an Emergency Operations Center Golf Maintenance Facility.
4. EOC Operations Manual written (Before NIMS)
5. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has recertified Tukwila's 205 Levee System.
6. Authorized a CERT Training Position.
7. Increased the Emergency Management Budget from 50,000 to 100,000.
8. Draft Emergency Communication Plan prepared.
Emergency Preparedness Are We Ready? Page 2 of 6
Existing Deficiencies
Traffic Signal Backup:
The City has been installing battery backup capability at key intersections. The batteries will
last approximately 2 -hours when the signals are in a full- operational mode and up to 10-
hours when placed in a flashing mode. During sustained power outages, these batteries must
be replaced and recharged on a regular basis.
Deficiency: Having sufficient battery backup capability for operating traffic signals at
major intersections.
Corrective Action: Additional batteries and a separate charging system.
Cost: $10,000
Public Shelter Capability:
It is the responsibility of local government to provide emergency shelter and temporary
housing for disaster victims within its own capabilities, and to request and facilitate the
implementation of shelter assistance provided by private relief agencies and other state and
federal programs. Emergency shelters should have the capability to address the needs of the
general population and the high -risk population. Six sites within the City have been
identified as potential shelter areas 5 schools and the Tukwila Community Center.
Deficiency: Having sufficient resources to open a 100 person, City- sponsored shelter.
Sixteen (16) trained personnel needed for each 8 -hour operational shift. (Does not
include security personnel).
Corrective Action: Purchase a self contained Disaster Emergency Response Trailer
(DERT). Have a pool of trained personnel need approximately 200 trained people
(City employees and volunteers) in order to get the 48 people needed for each 24 -hour
period.
Cost: DERT costs $100,000. Supplies must be rotated on an annual basis annual
maintenance costs are approximately $10,000 $15,000.
First Responder Support:
It is the responsibility of the City to provide medical assistance, shelter, food, water, and
commodities for emergency response personnel throughout the duration of the incident.
Also, if the First Responders are to be able to concentrate on their jobs, they need to know
that their families are safe Safe Home is a program that relieves that worry.
Deficiency: Having sufficient resources to care for, shelter and feed 100 response and
recovery personnel over a sustained period. Shelter operations will need ten trained
people for each 8 -hour operational shift. In addition the Safe Home Program needs to
be implemented.
Emergency Preparedness Are We Ready? Page 3 of 6
Corrective Action: Purchase a self contained DERT for First Responders (which would
be separate from the Public Shelter DERT). Implement Safe Home.
Cost: DERT costs $100,000. Supplies must be rotated on an annual basis annual
maintenance costs are approximately $10,000 $15,000.
Improved Public Information:
Successfully preparing for and responding to a disaster relies heavily upon keeping the public
informed. The first responsibility in an emergency is to minimize injury to people and
damage to property. The second responsibility is the general day -to -day public information
as to what is being done to protect their welfare, training offered, and their responsibility in
times of an emergency.
Deficiency: Communicating with the public and keeping the public informed.
Corrective Action: Electronic reader boards permanently installed at every City facility.
Establish an information center. Consistent messages /updates provided to the radio
stations used by the School District. Establish an employee call -in line (Done). Establish
a citizen call -in line to infoini the public if City facilities are open. Establish a phone
bank for residents /citizens to call seeking information and to report problems. Capability
to go door -to -door to deliver emergency public health messages messages must be
translated into many languages.
Cost: $150,000 for reader boards. Costs and staffing requirements are unknown for the
other improvement suggestions. Requires a pool of personnel (employees and
volunteers) to man the telephones and deliver the messages.
Adequacy of City Facilities:
Restoring City services will depend upon City facilities being able to function during an
emergency event.
1. Standby Power:
Deficiency: City's capability to provide essential services is strained. Nine key facilities
have limited or no power backup systems.
Corrective Action: Install backup generators at all key City facilities.
Cost: City Hall: 380,000 Fire Sta 51: 180,000
6300 Bldg: 280,000 Fire Sta 52: 145,000
TCC: 370,000 Fire Sta 53: 123,000
Minkler Shop: 255,000 Fire Sta 54: 116,000
George Long: $150,000
Emergency Preparedness Are We Ready? Page 4 of 6
Earthquake Resistance:
a. City Facilities
Deficiency: A number of key City facilities are unable to withstand an earthquake.
Corrective Action: Study underway to ascertain capability and what is needed to bring
key facilities up to code.
Cost: '1'BD
b. Bridges
Deficiency: Of the 21 city -owned bridges, 11 are seismically deficient and 7 should be
either retrofitted or replaced.
Corrective Action: Note: a prioritized list has been established. Number 1 priority is
Boeing Access Rd Bridge (over UPRR BNSF railroads). Concentrate resources on
retrofitting/replacing the deficient bridges.
Cost: Fixing the No. 1 priority City cost estimated at 3,000,000; Federal share is
12,000,000.
Full -time Staffine for Emergencv Management Program:
Since 9/11 and the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, preparing for an
emergency has been a top priority within the United States. The federal government has
mandated that local governments create and implement long lasting emergency management
programs that have the capability to meet and respond to any situation. This directive has
created a tremendous workload upon City staff.
1. Staffing
Deficiency: City does not have any full -time, dedicated emergency management staff.
Corrective Action: Hire a full -time Emergency Management Coordinator
Cost: Annual expense is 80,000.
2. Plan Preparation
Deficiency: Existing plans need to be updated for NIMS compliance Comprehensive
Emergency Management Plan; EOC Operations Manual. Need to perform the federally
mandated Hazard Identification, Vulnerability, and Risk Assessment; and Hazard
Mitigation Plan.
Emergency Preparedness Are We Ready? Page 5 of 6
Corrective Action: Staff time is the limiting factor. Hire a full -time Emergency
Management Coordinator that will report to the Director of Emergency Management.
Cost: None. Previously identified staff position needed.
Emergency Operations Center (EOC):
Coordination of emergency response and recovery operations, and development of plans and
strategies should occur in a location that is large enough for the organization to come
together during the incident. The City has identified over 40 individual functions /positions
that will be needed. An effective, safe workspace that includes interoperable
communications and telecommunications capability is just as important as clear operating
procedures, staff roles, and responsibilities.
1. Permanent EOC
Deficiency: Inadequate sized EOC located at the Golf Maintenance Shop. Cannot
accommodate all of the anticipated personnel needed to manage a disaster event.
Corrective Action: Build a permanent EOC behind the 6300 Building.
Cost: Design and Construction 750,000.
2. EOC Communications
Deficiency: VRM capability for the Police and Fire Depaitinents.
Corrective Action: Install two (2) VRM's in the EOC
Cost: $20,000

To: Mayor Steven M. Mullet
From: Kevin A. Fuhrer, Finance Director
Date: April 11, 2007
Subject: Emergency Preparedness
ISSUE:
Consider the financial implications associated with
emergency preparedness.
BACKGROUND:
In an informational memorandum dated April 9, 2007,
prepared by the Director of Emergency Management with the
input of the First Responder Team, several deficiencies were
identified in the City's Emergency Management Program. The
aggregate proposed solutions carry a significant price tag years
1 through 4 total nearly $6 Million.
DISCUSSION:
On an annual basis, the operating budget has included
dedicated resources for emergency management. By way of
reference, the 2005 and 2006 budgets each included $100,000 of
programmed expenditures allocated on a 50-50 basis between
services and charges and capital outlay for emergency operations
center (EOC) equipment. With adoption of the 2007 budget, the
total allocation was increased to $238,000. The specific line item
distribution provided $50,000 for services and charges, $65,000 for
replacement of the EOC radios, $35,000 for development of a
Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program, and
$88,000 for emergency management /transportation operations
center.
Upon review of the adopted 2007 -2012 Financial Planning
Model and Capital Improvement Program, and more specifically
Attachment A, the projected accumulated total balance at the end
of the six-year planning period is anticipated to be nearly equal to
the 3 Million minimum set by City policy.
Should the City elect to expand the existing emergency
management program in a mirror image as set forth in the April
9th informational memo or some derivative thereof, a number of
potential funding options may be considered as follows:
Bond for the capital purchase elements
o Reprioritize existing program expenditures
o Reallocate future funding distributions
Adopt an alternative funding source (e.g. B &O tax, fire
impact fee)
Set aside one unanticipated resources earmarked
specifically for carrying out a plan implementation.
Bonding for the capital purchases presents the opportunity
to remedy this component of the deficiencies in one fell swoop.
Furthermore the repayment period of the bond more closely aligns
with the expected life of the capital asset. On the other hand, the
City would need to set aside amounts annually to cover the bond
principal and interest. To put it in perspective, a $3 Million bond
issue equates to approximately $250,000 in annual debt service
costs for a period of 20 years. Moreover a bond issue reduces the
amount of our non -voted debt bonding capacity. Today that
amount is approximately $16 Million. Finally, consideration
should be afforded to other projects in the City in which we may
need to draw upon our bonding capacity. A couple of examples
that come to mind are the Klickitat and the Strander Boulevard
Extension Projects.
Each year in developing the subsequent years financial plan
we are faced with a myriad of competing needs and interests that
regularly outweigh our limited financial resources. Obviously
seeking a balance between the 2 necessitates tough choices. This
issue alone gives rise to the downside associated with a
reprioritization or reallocation approach. Either to some degree
may require tolling a future work plan or possibly impacting the
current level of service delivery.
While adoption of an alternative funding source creates a
new revenue stream, the type and timing of collections may pose a
challenge. And as one might imagine in the current and recent
climate, the road to implementing a new tax may be met with
some resistance. A fire impact fee would by definition be
restricted as to how the monies are used. For additional
illustration, assume that we adopt a fire impact fee, issue bonds
and plan on using the alternative source as a means to cover the
annual principal and interest payments. Given that the fire
impact fee revenues are variable year to-year (the level of
development drives the amount), collections may be at a level
below the debt service requirement. However, a fire impact fee
does present the opportunity to free up General Fund dollars
currently directed for capital purposes.
Finally, setting aside one -time unanticipated resources and
earmarking the same for implementing a plan reduces the risk
associated anytime forecasting is employed the amount is
absolute. Conversely, each year may not bear the same fruit in
the form of unanticipated resources.
RECOMMENDATION:
Given the aforementioned discussion, it is recommended
that the City consider as part of the planning process, either
separately or in combination, the bond issue or one-time
unanticipated resources approach to funding a potential plan to
address identified emergency preparedness deficiencies.
Finance Safety Committee Minutes April 16. 2007 Paae 2
C. Emergencv Management Deficiencies
Jim Morrow presented information regarding emergency management deficiencies that currently exist
in the City. An informational memo outlining a prioritized list of the City's emergency preparedness
needs as well as specific actions that have already been taken to improve the City's emergency
preparedness was submitted to the Committee.
''r
Jim M. discussed several emergency incidents that have required First Responder Team response in
the Tukwila community since the inception of the Emergency Management Program in May 2003.
Each of these incidents has been contained, and did not require any response beyond the City's
control. However, each incident has demonstrated the need for improved operational and resource
responses in order for the City to progress to the next level of emergency preparedness.
The First Responder Executive Committee, composed of representatives from Fire, Police and Public
Works (Chief Olives, Chief Haynes, Jim Morrow and Frank Iriarte), has been meeting monthly to
identify the program's strengths and weaknesses. Other City representatives and appropriate
personnel are invited to attend as discussion topics warrant. Both Nick Olivas and D.J. Baskin stated
that Fire and Police agree with and support the work of the group.
The information memo submitted to the Finance and Safety Committee outlined several deficiencies
which Jim M. discussed in detail at the meeting.
1. Traffic Signal Operation
2. Public Shelter Capability
The Public Shelter Capability issue will be presented in further detail at a future Finance Safety
Committee meeting. Essentially, a policy decision will need to be made regarding the City's
ability to provide its own shelter capabilities without/in lieu of the Red Cross, other private
assistance or state /federal programs.
It was noted that although there is no cost involved in requesting the assistance of the Red Cross,
we do need to commit to providing trained people for their operations. Use of the Red Cross may
be an option to reduce costs with the exception of large scale incidents in which the Red Cross
may not be able to respond.
3. First Responder Support
4. Improvements to Better Inform the Public
5. Adequacy of City Facilities
Jim M. made two changes to the costs listed on page 4 of the Informational Memo (Emergency
Preparedness Are We Ready the TCC cost has been increased to 5370,000 and the Minkler
Shops increased to 5255,000.
6. Full -time Staffing for Emergency Management Program
Jim M. confirmed that this position is different from the CERT position currently listed in the
budget. The full -time staffing referred to in the memo is not currently funded in the budget.
7. Emergency Operations Center
Committee members asked several questions regarding the implementation of priorities over a three
year period as outlined on page 7 of the Informational Memo. All members agreed that it is essential
to hire a full -time staff member dedicated to emergency preparedness during the first year of the
Phase Approach. This is a logical step in laying the groundwork for a functional and efficient
program in which the Phase Approach is seen as an interlinked process rather than stand alone items.
Finance Safety Committee Minutes April 16. 2007— Page 3
Jim M. pointed out that funding for the Emergency Management program is not in one dedicated
section of the City's budget. Funding portions can be found under Public Works, Mayor's Office and
Fire.
Committee members agree that the City cannot delay emergency preparedness planning and that this
sense of urgency should be responded to as soon as possible. Based on an informational memo
submitted by Kevin Fuhrer, the Committee believes that it may be possible to support a portion of
emergency preparedness this budget year through unanticipated revenues.
The Committee is in agreement to:
Move the Permanent Staff Position as listed in Year 2 of the Phase Approach (see
Informational Memo page 7), to Year 1;
Duplicate the Improved Public Information in Year 3 to Year 1, splitting the funding
allocation between each year Year 1 allocation being $50,000 and Year 3 allocation
being $100,000.
Seek potential sources of funding in order for the City to begin the implementation of
correcting the identified deficiencies prior to the end of 2007.
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL BASED ON ABOVE MENTIONED CHANGES. FORWARD TO
APRIL 23 COW.
