Subject:
Street Closures Needed to Accomplish Light Rail Construction
ISSUE:
Over the next 18 months, the construction of Sound Transit's light-rail guideway will be crossing
public streets. In order to ensure pJblic safety, the streets will be closed to traffic, except local
access.
DISCUSSION:
Sound Transit's light-rail route crosses Tukwila's public streets in thirteen (13) different
locations. See Attachment 1 for the first four locations. In addition it crosses SR-599, 1-5, BNSF
tracks, Metro's Bus Ramp onto SR-599, and Boeing AccessIMLK.
Construction is authorized during the hours of 7 :00 am until I 0:00 pm. As an alternative to
completely closing Tukwila's streets, Sound Transit's contractor requested the City investigate
the possibility of a noise variance that would allow construction from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am.
Unfortunately, it appears that several ofth~se aforementioned locations will not be able to satisfy
the criteria set forth in TMC 8.22.180, Variil.llces - Administrator's Authority, for a noise
vanance.
Therefore, to ensure public safety during the construction of selected columns, straddle bents, and
the erection of guideway elements, Public Works cannot allow any traffic (except local access)
within the construction area. The streets within the vicinity ofthe crossings will be closed to
through traffic and detour routes established.
Public Works will be working with Sound Transit to establish detour routes and ensure that the
traveling public has adequate advance notification of the closure. Closure in some instances will
be for several weeks.
This evening's presentation will address the plans for closing Southcenter Blvd. (Attachment 2),
51st Avenue South (Attachment 3), and 52nd Avenue (Attachment 4).
Notification of the pending closure for Southcenter Blvd is in place now and closure is scheduled
to begin June 30th.

Council Technology - Devices
Issue
This memo is informational and is provided as a follow-up to the committee's request for
information regarding technological devices and functionality options.
Back2round
Council has agreed to consider a variety oftechnology-based approaches to improve the
Council's productivity. Also, in previous meetings, the Council has been advised that the use of
personal e-mail and computer equipment poses certain risks such as potential court review of
personal e-mail and computer records, as well as lack of control over adherence to state
requirements for business records retention practices. In order to assist in reducing these
liabilities and increase Council productivity, several technology devices are available for
consideration.
Discussion
The attached spreadsheet, showing possible technological devices currently available, is included
for committee consideration and use as an aid for,discussion and decision-making purposes. The
column headings used in the spreadsheet are defined here for clarity:
· Device - Type of technological device for committee consideration.
· Cost/Unit - Initial cost per unit.
· Support - How the device will be supported as well as who will support it.
· Additional Cost Detailed - Any additional costs for peripheral devices, subscriptions,
software required, etc.
· Weight - Weight of the device, important to consider with device portability.
· Replace Sched - Suggested replacement schedule for device.
· Function - What the device is capable of as far as Council usage is concerned.
· Vulnerability - Virus and SP AM vulnerabilities.
· Liability - How to address subpoena and public disclosure liabilities.
· Training - Who provides initial training and how much training may be required. Of
course, amount of training is dependant upon Councilmember's individual ability.
· Policy Required - Indicates whether or not an existing City policy exists or requires
modification.
· Picture - Generic pictures are displayed for the desktop and laptop devices. The tablet
PC pictured is the HP Compaq, as the City currently owns similar models. The
Blackberry picture is of the latest model, the 7100i. The PDA pictured is the very
popular TREO 650, but other PDA brands and models can also be considered and will be
in a similar price range. The cell phone is a Nextel i530, but would be whatever model
the City uses at time of purchase.
Recommendations for Best Practices
.
The Council Administrative Support staff position could provide first-line support and
training to Council. This staff person should also have access to the devices for
emailJdocument assistance and maintenance and also for records retention and archival
purposes. To ease support and training concerns, and to gain familiarity with the device,
it would also be recommended that the Council Administrative Support staff person be
issued the same device that Council chooses to use.
A location at City Hall would need to be assigned to Council for the desktop workstation
or for laptop/tablet docking and work space. This would allow Council to have
workspace with a connection to the City's network when on campus in order to use the
internal Group Wise email interface, as well as provide access to TukNet. If a desktop
computer were considered, a single computer would be sufficient for shared Council use.
If laptops or tablet PCs were considered, a pool of 2 - 3 devices would cover normal
Council usage. As always, if a laptop/tablet was not available when requested,
Councilmembers could check one out from the City employee's shared laptop pool
located in the City Clerk's office. For Blackberry devices, PDAs, or cell phones, each
Councilmember would be assigned their own device.
I recommend the Council move forward with purchasing several basic laptops for
Council use. These laptops will not be intended as a permanent, long-term solution to
Council efficiency, but rather as entry-level technical devices to use for two to three years
while other technology devices can be evaluated. As every Councilmember gains
experience with the entry-level laptops, opinions can be formed as to a technical direction
that may work best and new technology options can be evaluated.
.
.
As Council discussion continues concerning technology-based approaches to improve
productivity and reduce liability, I am happy to support your efforts by providing additional
information or detail and answering any questions that may arise.

X Council Technolol!V (Devices) II
As a follow-up to a previous committee meeting, IT Manager Mary Miotke presented a
chart that compared the cost/unit, support, detail of additional costs, weight, replacement
schedule, function, vulnerability, liability, training, and city policy requirements of
several viable devices. After discussing the various options available to them, Council
decided that 2 or 3 laptop computers, a docking station, a port printer, and a case with
wheels would meet their needs and those of their new staffperson for the present time.
Unanimous approval - forward to future COW.
Julv 4th Fireworks Permit for Public Displav at the Starfire Sports Complex
Mr. Tom Whitacre, a licensed Pyrotechnic Operator with the State of Washington and
the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms is seeking a fireworks permit for a public
display at the Starfire Sports Complex on July 4th. This display is being held in
conjunction with the City's planned event "Family Fun at the Fort". Battalion Chief Don
Tomaso told the committee that Mr. Whitacre's application was reviewed to
WAC 212-17 and accepted industry standards and he found everything to be within the
established guidelines. Because Mr. Whitacre has done the fireworks display in Tukwila
several times in the past, Tomaso requested the permit be sent directly to the June 19th
Regular meeting for approval. Additionally, B/C Tomaso noted that each year the crowds
that gather for the fireworks display grow larger and traffic can be difficult to manage. He
suggested: 1) two fire apparatus be staged at the site; one apparatus on each side of the
Railroad right-of-way; and 2) Tukwila Police provide crowd control during the public
display; 3) provide traffic control to the Fort Dent Way and Interurban Ave. intersection
to expedite traffic flow.
Unanimous approval- forward to 6/19 Regular Meeting
Proposed Amendments Standardizillt! Lan2:ua2:e in Certain Section of Fire Dept.
Ordinances
Batallion Chief Tomaso explained the City attorney and prosecutor had advised
him of the need to standardize the language in certain sections of fire department
ordinances. The aforementioned sections deal with .appeal provisions, the exceptions and
penaties sections. The changes are necessary in order to comply with the RCW statutes.
Tomaso reviewed each of the specific sections in need of amendment. Council discussion

Brief Description
The Organizational Capacity Building Pilot (OCBP) program is a collaborative program of the
City of Federal Way and the City of Tukwila. This capacity building strategy is designed to
increase the organizational effectiveness of small grassroots human service agencies in Federal
Way and Tukwila. Through the program these organizations will learn techniques to
successfully govern and manage themselves, develop assets and resources, forge and maintain
community linkages, and continue to deFver valued services in Federal Way and Tukwila.
Goals
. Strengthen the organizational infrastructure of small grassroots human service
organizations in Federal Way and TukWila.
. Increase the capacity and kriowledge of the staff and board to effectively manage and
lead their human service agencies.
. Share lessons learned with other grantmakers, policy makers and other stakeholders to
expand and replicate this model in other communities in King County.
An outside consultant with expertise in nonprofit capacity building will be hired to work with
each participating group to expand their capacity fo~ effectiveness and sustainability.
During the assessment phase, a self-evaluation tool will be administered and analyzed, pertinent
documents (by laws, policies, board records, financial reports, etc.) will be analyzei:l and selected
individuals may be interviewed. The assessment will look at the present capacity of two human
service organizations and will identify what is working well and what.is needed to help the
organizations become stronger and better able to fulfill their mission. The assessment phase will
conclude with the presentation of a report to each organization identifyi.ng areas for attention and
recommendations for action.
The planning phase will begin with at least one extended planning session, led by the consultant
and involving the board of directors and key staff members. The result of this session will be the
identification of three to six capacity-building goals for implementation. Subsequently a plan
will be developed by the organization, with the assistance of the consultant. The plan will
include:
1. Strategies or methods that best allow it to get stronger in each priority area;
2. Who will lead the effort in each area and by when;
3. How the organization will know its been successful in building in each area;
4. How those within the organization will.be accountable for following through in areas
that affect them; and
... '.

5. How the organization will integrate what its learned into day-to-day operations.
Plan implementation will be the re~ponsibility of each organization and will likely include a
number of components:
o Education in nonprofit management and governance;
o Structural changes for the board or the organization;
o Fund development planning and fund raising; and
o Additional learning and organiiaiional changes as needed.
In order to assure confidence in the changes they are making and to assist each group in staying
focused on prioritized goals, the consultant will provide "coaching" services during the plan
. implementation period. This coaching will include technical assistance, resource identification
and validation of steps being taken to achieve goals. .
To determine the success of the pilot project, the final report process will include a repeat
assessment with each organization to determine if changed behavior actually did tak~ place.
New attitudes, skills and knowledge are just some of the potential changed behavior techniques
that could emerge from the evaluation.

Business Agenda:
A. Ratification of 2006 Countywide Plannin~ Policy amendments
The 1990 Growth Management Act (GMA) requires that King County and cities work together to
adopt countrywide planning policies which serve to coordinate the development of local
comprehensive plans. The Growth Management Planning Council (GMPC) periodically reviews and
revises amendments to the policies and makes recommendations to King County Council. King
County Council can adopt, modify, or reject the changes. Then, the information is sent out to the
cities to ratify. It is adopted if it is ratified by at least 30% of the cities. Jurisdictions must act by
July 24, 2006; if no action is taken, it will be deemed that the City ratified the changes. Two
amendments are being proposed: ~dding South Lake Union to the list of urban centers and
correcting a mapping error that affects 30 acres for the City of Kent. Last year, after an interim
potential annexation area (PM) map was amended, the City of Kent pointed out a mapping error - a
30.3-acre area that is within the City of Kent. City of Seattle is requesting that South Lake Union be
added to the list of urban centers (areas of concentrated employment and housing with direct service
by high-capacity transit and a wide range of other land uses); there are currently 15 designated urban
centers in King County. Pam asked if this allows them more funding. The project would certainly
qualify for more points when making applications- for funding. Unanimous approval. fOlWard to

Amendment to Interlocal AQreement for OrQanizational Capacity BuildinQ ProQram (add cities
of Burien and Auburn)
The Organizational Capacity Building Pilot (OCBP) is a program of the City of Federal Way in
collaboration with cities of Burien and Tukwila. The interlocal agreement will need to be amended to
include the City of Burien and a new grant award from United Way. It was pointed out that Auburn
notified the City of Federal Way late this afternoon that they are declining to participate at this point in
time. This capacity building strategy is designed to increase the organizational effectiveness of small
grassroots non-profit human service agencies s.erving local communities (Burien, Federal Way, and
Tukwila). Many of the participants serve on a volunteer basis. Through this program, organizations
willleam techniques to successfully self-govern and manage themselves, develop assets and
resources, forge and maintain community linkages, and continue to deliver services. An outside
consultant will be hired to work with each participating group by offering seminars, training, and
coaching. Organizations will conduct self-assessments to identify their strengths and weaknesses;
organizations are being sought. Tukwila's contribution will be $5,250. The Tukwila Food Pantry will
be assisted in this endeavor. Pam noted that the vehicle for the food pantry needs funding for major
repairs and increased fuel costs. It was announced that application was made to United Way for
additional funds and a $14,000 grant award has been granted to extend the time for supportive
activities. There is a lot of competition for grants and there is limited funding; many of the small
grassroots agencies are not as cqmpetitive as some larger, organized agencies - many of whom have
grant writers on staff. This will help to level the playing field and help these organizations become
self-sufficient. Pam noted that it is always good to strengthen connections with neighboring cities.
Joe asked why SeaTac was not participating. It was noted that the human services staff member
recently retired. Unanimous approval. fOlWard to COW.

Standby Power Upgrades
Consultant Agreement
Project No. 06-BGOl
ISSUE
Contract to design Standby Power Upgrades for six City facilities, including Fire Stations 51-54,
City Hall, and the 6300 Building.
BACKGROUND
Abacus Engineered Systems was selected out of a competitive interview process to perform the
design services associated with the Standby Power Upgrade project. Other fIrms solicited for
proposals included HDR Engineering, Gray & Osborne, and Casne Engineering. Of the four
fIrms, two fIrms, Casne and Gray & Osborne did not respond. The other two, Abacus and HDR,
scheduled on-site tours of our facilities in order to gather information for their respective
proposals. During the proposal development stage, HDR informed us that due to their current
workload, they would not be able to complete and submit a formal proposal. This left Abacus as
the only fIrm to submit a proposal and their qualifIcations.
Abacus previously conducted work for the City on the standby power project for the E.O.C.
Generator, a project that went very well. Their performance during that project clearly
demonstrated an ability to bring an intelligent and innovative approach to the table. This has given
us the confIdence that they will again help us achieve a successful conclusion to a standby power
project.
ANALYSIS
At the moment, our Fire Stations, City Hall, and the 6300 Building do not have adequate standby
power resources. This project seeks to bring these facilities up to a condition where they could
function for brief periods of time when standby power is required. Allowing these facilities to
remain fully functional, when standby power is required, is a fundamental part of enabling the City
to function in a safe and efficient manner.
The proposed amount for Abacus to provide design services is $50,485.00. Attached is the
Consultant Agreement for Services document, as well as their scope and fee located in Exhibit A
and B respectively. This project is funded from the 303 Fund, Facilities.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the consultant agreement with Abacus Engineered Systems to perform the Standby Power
Upgrade project design services in the amount of $50,485.00.

A. iSiqnaFM Flashinq Bus Stop Beacon by Dale Cumminqs from Kino County Metro
King County Metro will be installing 13 solarpowered beacons/Carmanah iSignals ™ at existing flag
posts along Route 150 as part of the bus zone improvements project. Also, three new bus shelters
and solar lighting are planned at some existing bus shelters. The locations for the iSignals were
selected by driving Route 150 at night. A maintenance vehicle will be used to install the posts so as
not to block an active lane of travel or sidewalk. The iSignal includes a blinking LED light that allows
bus passengers to notify the oncoming bus that they are waiting for the bus in the evening. Two
years ago, Pierce Transit installed 200 of these units which resulted in high satisfaction among bus
drivers and customers. Last year, Metro received approximately 1,000 complaints of missed
boardings. Pam suggested to inch.lde Metro's phone number on the posts to allow riders to call if
they need information. Concern wks raised regarding the bus stop at Fort Dent (located next to a
ditch). It was noted that the City is planning to widen Interurban Ave. and put in curbing and a
sidew91k in 2QO~.J::1ut interim measures will be explored to improve safety at this bus stop.

A. Tukwila Urban Center Access Proiect (Klickitat) Consultant Aqreement for LID Special Benefit
Study and Riqht-of-Wav Acquisition Assistance
Last fall, the City of Tukwila contracted with Macaulay & Associates to determine the feasibility of an
LID (Local Improvement District) for Klickitat. The next step will provide an approximate amount on
how much each parcel would be assessed in the LID - approximately 300 parcels. Full assessments
will not be done on each parcel but rather a sampling. The final assessment will be determined upon
completion of the project. The proximity of the parcel will be assessed a higher assessment than
those parcels further away from the project. Also, the term of the LID would affect the assessment
(e.g., if the LID was 10, 15, or 20 years). All costs incurred by the City that are associated with the
LID can be folded into the LID assessments. It was noted that rights-of-way would also need to be
acquired. HNTB, the City's lead consultant on the project, has retained a firm to assist in the
acquisition since they are unable to negotiate both a purchase price and conduct a fair market
assessment; this would be a conflict of interest. This contract also includes $9,000 for three separate
summary appraisals. Pam suggested that a "101 class" in the formation of LIDs be offered at an
upcoming Committee of the Whole meeting. Unanimous approval, forward to COW.
B. Standby Power UpQrades Project Consultant Aqreement (Fire Stations. City Hall, and 6300
8uildin~)
Abacus Engineered Systems was selected to perform a feasibility and priority report for the Standby
Power Upgrade Project. In the event of an emergency, the fire stations, City Hall, and the
6300 Building do not have adequate standby power (up to 72 hours). Portable generators are
available at some sites to only open up bay doors at the fire stations. Joan asked about capability at
the Minkler shops and was told that we just purchased the Teamster's generator for Minkler.
Unanimous approval, forward to COW,
