Subject:
Legislative List of Priorities
This resolution references Attachment A that shows the lIst of prionties the City Council
discussed at the meeting on January 9th.
Once adopted, this list will be posted to the city's website, and can be used by those going to the
A WC Legislative Action Conference in Olympia the following week.
Though other issues may emerge that have a large impact on the City and that may not be
addressed in the prionties, they can be dealt with on a case- by- case basis. The list of priorities
should be applicable to most legislation thIS Session.
The Legislative Session is a short one, begilming January 9th and ending 60 days later March 10tl1
unless a special session is called. Traditionally, there are fewer battles and less legislation in a
short session than in a longer one, but things happen more qUickly, and bills can change
drastically after one committee meeting. Also, any bill introduced in the 2005 Session and not
passed, can be resurrected in this Session.
Finally, the one priority that applies not only to State, but also to National legislation is the
telecommunications Issue. '-IVe will lobby against any State or Federal regulation of our rights of
way under this issue

ATTACHMENT A
City of Tukwila
2006 Legislative Priorities
Transportation
The CIty of TukwIla wIshes to thank the legIslature for the leadershIp shown last seSSIOn by the
passage of the TranspOliation PartnershIp Act. We look forward to the completion of the many
projects funded by this bill and the prevIOUS nIckel package.
Providing Local Transportation Options for Transportation - Tukwila supports
providmg cIties the abilIty to mcrease transportatIOn fundmg through local revenue
optIOns m order to meet local transportatIOn needs
Changes to Regional Transportation Funding Legislation - TukwIla supports
changes to the RTID authonzing legislatIOn to address technIcal Issues, such as bondmg
and ballot tItle, and to provide the regIOn the most flexibilIty to craft a package that will
be approved by voters.
Streamlined Sales Tax
The CIty Supports State legislation (SB 5622) that meets the ObjectIves of the mitigation
pnnclples agreed to by AWe. ThIs includes full mItigation for cItIes such as Tukwila who would
be negatively impacted by the change by sourcing.
Gamblin2:/Zonin2: Issues
Tukwila supports legislation (SB 5994) that would grant cIties the authority to allow current
gamblmg establishments to contmue ("grandfathenng") whIle banning all new such busmesses.
Tukwila supports confirmation of CIty authority to exerCIse its planrnng and zoning powers over
gamblmg establishments.
Multi-Familv Property Tax Exemption
Tuk:wIla supports legislation (BB 1742) that would expand to more cItIes the property tax
exemptIOns for multl- family housmg in urban downtown areas.
Pension Fundin2:
LEOFF 1 Medical Liability - Tukwila requests help from the State Actuary to identIfy
ItS estimated lIabIlIty for medIcal and long-term care costs for LEOFF 1 retIrees. TukwIla would
also support some fmanclal assistance for tlus lIabIlIty, mcludmg the possible use ofthe LEOFF
1 pensIOn surplus.
PERS Plan I Pensions - TukwIla supports spreadmg over several years appropriate
payments towards the unfunded lIabilIty ofPERS Plan 1 Tukwila does not support any new
benefits untIl the current benefits are fully funded.
Telecommunications
Tuk\.vIla opposes any pre-emptlOn of local authonty for managing local public nghts-of-way,
taxmg authonty, and the abIlity to provIde telecommumcatlOn services
Municipal Courts
Tukwila opposes any leglslatlOn that adversely affects or threatens the existence of mumcipal
courts.
Authority to Trap Moles
The CIty supports an exemptlOn to the antI-trappmg mItIatIVe that would allow cities to trap
moles and gophers
J ailed Offender lVledical Costs
TukwIla will support an A WC move to pursue fundmg optlOns for helpmg cItIes pay for theIr
costs of provIding medical care for offenders arrested m a CIty and sent to jail.
Extend the Length of Collective Bargaining Agreements
Tukwila supports a bill that would lengthen the tIme of a union contract from three years up to
SIX years.
Affordable Housing for Those in Need
The City supports affordable housmg that helps those in need and supports fundmg for housmg
that leverages other funds.
Public 'Yorks Trust Fund Projects
TukwIla strongly supports any funding mcreases for the Public 'Norks Trust Fund.
Opposition to HB 2323 Accessorv Dwelling Unit regulation
Tubvila supports accessory dwelling units but we oppose HB 2323 because we believe cIties
should retain the ability to Impose development regulatlOns and zoning codes appropnate for
theIr communities.
Opposition to HB 2324 Requiring Density Bonuses for Mfordable Housing
TukwIla supports mcentives for mcreasmg affordable housmg, but opposes HB 2324 because It
requires cities to gIVe densIty bonuses. We believe planmng for affordable housing IS a case-by-
case sItuatIon reqUiring local control.
