SUMMARY:
This motion authorizes the City Manager to extend the Inteflocal Agreement (ILA) with the City of
Tukwila for cooperative tourism promotion, provided through Seattle Southside Visitor Services (SSVS),
until it is terminated by either party.
DISCUSSION / ANALYSIS / ISSUES:
In 2001 the City of SeaTac entered into an agreement with the City of Tukwila to purchase professional
tourism and marketing services for the purpose of increasing awareness of SeaTac as a leisure travel
destination. This agreement was established for a three year term, and is due to expire on February 1,
2005. This motion is being brought forward at this date in compliance with a requirement in the agreement
that, "On or before April 30, 2004 the cities will determine if this Interlocal Agreement may be continued
for another period or three years, or for such time as the parties may then see fit."
The City's Hotel-Motel Tax Advisory Committee has reviewed the agreement and recommends that it be
extended until terminated. In the Committee's opinion, the termination clause is sufficiently liberal as to
provide either party ample opportunity to terminate the agreement. Specifically, Section Six of the
agreement allows for termination under the following conditions:
· Either party may terminate with 60 days notice prior to the beginning of each new calendar year.
· The agreement can be terminated at any time provided both parties are in agreement.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
Authorize the City Manager to extend the ILA with the City of Tt~wila for joint tourism and marketing
services until it is terminated by either party.
FISCAL IMPACT:
An annual operating budget of $364,000 was approved for SSVS in 2004. The City Council reviews this
program annually as part of the City's regular budget process.
· ALTERNATIVE(S):
1. Approve a three year extension
2. Postpone extension until the agreement lapses in February 2005
