BACKGROUND City staff continues to work with representatives of the Segale family regarding the annexation and future development of approximately 250 acres within the City's south Potential Annexation Area (PAA). This annexation would leave approximately 60 acres of the south PAA in unincorporated King County (map attached). King County would prefer that Tukwila annex the entire PAA at once, and could oppose a "partial" annexation (as it has done elsewhere). King County opposition would significantly delay or could stop the Segale annexation. King County Executive Ron Sims has indicated he will support the Segale annexation ifTukwila commits to initiating annexation of the remainder of our PAA immediately following completion of the Segale annexation. The attached draft resolution would provide such a commitment. ALTERNATIVES 1. Adopt the proposed resolution. This would satisfy Executive Sims' concerns and commit Tukwila to initiating annexation of the entire PAA in phases. 2. Adopt a modified resolution. We would want to discuss any proposed changes to determine opposition by the Executive. 3. Attempt to annex the entire PAA at one time. This would likely add complexity and delay to the process. 4. Move forward on Segale annexation without committing to a future phase. This may result in King County opposing the annexation and requesting review by the Boundary Review Board. 5. Abandon or defer plans for annexation. CAP REVIEW The Community Affairs and Parks Committee reviewed this issue at its October 12 meeting and recommends approval. RECOMMENDATION Adopt the proposed resolution (Option #1). A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUICWILA, WASHINGTON, COMMITTING TO INITIATE AN ANNEXATION PROCESS FOR A CERTAIN UNINCORPORATED ISLAND OF TERRITORY AFTER SUCH ISLAND BECOMES CONTIGUOUS TO THE CITY. WHEREAS, the City has received a notice of intention to commence annexation proceedings related to the territory known as the La Pianta annexation area the boundaries of which are described in Exhibit A, which is attached hereto and incorporated as if set forth in full; and WHEREAS, the City Council has authorized the circulation of an annexation petition for the La Pianta annexation area; and tits: j1" WHEREAS, the La Pianta annexation area lies within the Tukwila South Potential Annexation Area identified by the Tukwila Comprehensive Land Use Plan; and WHEREAS, the La Pianta annexation will reduce but not eliminate King County's obligation to provide municipal services to an area that is difficult for the County to serve due to its size and isolation from other County service areas; and WHEREAS, the King County Countywide Planning Policies recognize cities as the appropriate provider of local urban services to urban areas; and WHEREAS, King County has indicated it will support the La Pianta annexation if the City commits to timely annex the remainder of its Tukwila South Potential Annexation Area the boundaries of said remainder being described in Exhibit B, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein as if set forth in full; and WHEREAS, the City of Tukwila is willing to annex the area described in Exhibit B, but would like to delay action on this annexation until after a final resolution his been reached with respect to the La Pianta annexation area NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON, HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS: Sect 1. Within three weeks after the area described in Exhibit A becomes contiguous to the City of Tukwila, the City Council will adopt a resolution commencing negotiations pursuant to RCW SSA. 14.460 for an interlocal agreement between the City and King County to accomplish the annexation of the area described in Exhibit B to the City, and directing staff to complete said negotiations on an expedited basis. Within six weeks of approval of said negotiated interlocal agreement by the City and Icing County, the City will adopt an ordinance providing for the annexation of the area described in Exhibit B, which ordinance shall provide for an effective date of annexation not later than sixty (60) days after adoption of the ordinance. PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON, at a Regular Meeting thereof this day of 2004. ATTEST /AUTHENTICATED: Jim Ha Council President Jane E. Cantu, CMC, City Clerk APPROVED AS TO FORM BY Filed with the City Clerk: Passed by the City Council: Office of the City Attorney Resolution Number: Annexation commihnent 10/22/04 Segale Annexation Vicinity Map Community and Parks Committee October 12, 2004 Page 2 Code Enforcement Tax Lien Ordinance. Jack Pace introduced Stephen King of Kenyon/Disend. Stephen is DCD's primary legal resource for code enforcement. Stephen explained that under the City's current code enforcement regulations we have the ability to undertake certain kinds of nuisance abatement work if the property owner refuses. Further, the City is able to recoup its costs by attaching a lien against the property. The lien must be satisfied (the City must be paid) at the time the property is sold. Obviously, it can take many years for the City to recove~,'its costs. State law provides a more effective mechanism for cost recoveIy wh.e.n the violation involves dilapidated or dangerous structures not fit for human habitation. Under RCW Chapter 35.80 the City may order owners to abate such structures ai~d if the owner doesn't comply, the City may conduct the abatement itself. The City can then file a tax assessment, under which the city's abatement costs are treated as delinquent taxes, which allows the city to recover its costs in as little as three years. The ordinance included in the agenda packet would authorize use of this new tool for mdsance abatement. Forward to COW with recommendation to approve.. Interlocal Agreement - King County Rural Library. District.. Pam Linder indicated she would prefer that the proposed interlocal agreement be forwarded to the next Committee of the Whole Committee, rather than directly to a regular City Council meeting. The other Committee members agreed. Forward to COW. · . Tukwila South Annexation.. Steve Lancaster explained that King County is reluctant to su crt annexation of the Segale (La Pianta) property separately from the rest of PP · · uld refer we annex the entire Tukwila's south potenttal annexatton area (PAA). They wo p . ~ PAA at once. Staff and the property owner are reluctant to attempt a single annexation, since it will likely lengthen and complicate the annexation process. Staff has reached a tentative agreement with the County Executive under which he will support the Segale annexation, if Tukwila commits to initiate annexation of the remainder of the PAA immediately after. The attached draft resolution would provide this commitment. Forward to COW with recommendation to approve.
