FROM: Mike Villa, Assistant Chief of Police
DATE: June 9, 2009
SUBJECT: King County Animal Control Services
ISSUE
The issue is the need for direction regarding supplemental animal control services in the
City of Tukwila.
BACKGROUND
The City of Tukwila and King County entered into an Interlocal Agreement dated
December 15, 1993 relating to the provision of animal control services within the City.
In 1994 the Interlocal was amended. King County agreed to provide supplemental
animal control service to average twelve (12) hours per week.
In August of 2007 the City and King County amended the Interlocal Agreement from
twelve hours per week to twenty (20) hours of dedicated animal services. King County
was unable to provide the twenty hours of supplemental services during 2007 or 2008.
Council revisited the issue during the April 13 and 20 council meetings and the twenty
(20) hour amendment did not pass.
King County proposed an amendment for ten (10) hours of dedicated animal services
under the same conditions as set forth under the twenty (20) hour Interlocal Agreement.
This went before the Council of the whole meeting on May 11. Council directed staff to
bring the issue back to the June 15 Regular meeting.
The twelve (12) hour agreement is still in affect. Both the twenty (20) hour Interlocal
Agreement and the ten (10) hour agreement are options for consideration.
DISCUSSION
The City of Tukwila has four options as follows: 1) Continue under the current Interlocal
agreement, 2) sign the ten (10) hour amendment, 3) sign the twenty (20) hour
agreement, or 4) discontinue the supplemental services agreement with King County
Animal Services.
If the City signs either the ten (10) or twenty (20) hour Interlocal Agreement, King
County will provide an animal control officer to work within SeaTac and Tukwila. The

INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
City of Tukwila will receive a dedicated ten (10) hours or twenty (20) hours of services
per week dependant on which Interlocal is signed.
The dedicated officer shall have a special emphasis on, but not limited to, off -leash
violations, barking dog complaints, potentially dangerous dogs, and provide special
presentations at community events such as the Backyard Wildlife Habitat Fair and
Tukwila Days.
Annual estimated costs of the four options is as follows:
1) Continue under twelve (12) hour current agreement $37,440
2) Ten (10) hour agreement not to exceed 30,000
3) Twenty (20) hour agreement not to exceed $60,000
4) Discontinue enhanced service $0
The county fees include the use of the King County animal transport vehicle.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to consider and select one of these options at the June 15,
2009 Regular Meeting.
