INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
Mayor Haggerton
Committee of the Whole
FROM: Steve Lancaster, City Administrator Tukwila Green Team Chairperson
DATE: February 2, 2010
SUBJECT: Acceptance of Energy Grant Award
Authorizing the Mayor to sign a grant agreement with the Washington State Department of
Commerce for energy upgrades to City facilities.
City Hall and the 6300 Building
Parking Lot Lights at Fort Dent Park
Lighting Upgrades at the Community Center
Jim Haggerton, Mayor
In 2007, the City Council unanimously adopted Resolution #1649 that outlined the City's
commitment to reduce greenhouse gases. The City of Tukwila committed itself to reduce
greenhouse gases produced by City operations by 50 percent by 2020. Resolution #1649 also
called for a completion of an inventory of greenhouses gases that are produced by City
operations. The resulting inventory, completed in 2008, found that the City was responsible for
the release of 7,041 tons of 002. Over 50 percent of the City's CO2 was the result of electrical
operation at City buildings, parks, and operation of street lights.
The Federal Economic Stimulus Act passed by Congress in 2009 provided a significant amount
of funds for energy upgrades to existing buildings. The City's Green Team which includes
representatives from all City Departments submitted a grant application for energy upgrades to
three project areas:
The City has been notified that we have been given preliminary approval to receive $129,500 to
complete the energy upgrades. After utilizing leverage and rebates from the City's utility
providers (PSE and SCL), the total value of the work will likely be over $200,000. The City is
required to put up a match of $10,000 in order to receive the grant. The match can either be
labor or a cash match. Staff is still determining the best source (cash or labor) of the match. If
a cash match is needed, the source of the funds will be from the Green Initiatives program in the
Mayor's Budget.
After the work is completed it is estimated that the City will reduce its electrical consumption by
a total of 370,000 kWh and that CO2 emissions from the City will be reduced by 210 tons
annually.

DISCUSSION
The grant award provides an opportunity to reduce general fund expenditures now and in the
future. A portion of the grant will be used to fund City staff time to complete the work and to
manage the grant. Additionally, once the energy upgrades are in place the City's electrical
usage will be reduced which will result in lower utility costs for the City. Staff has estimated that
the payback time for the $10,000 grant match will be approximately three years.
The energy upgrades completed as part of the grant, provide a good first step toward reducing
green house emissions, reducing those produced by City operations by two percent.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to consider the grant agreement at the February 8, 2010 Committee
of the Whole Meeting and subsequent February 16, 2010 Regular Meeting.

Energy Efficiency Retrofit of City Facilities
In 2007, the Tukwila City Council unanimously adopted resolution 1649 that
outlined the City's commitment to reduce greenhouse gases (see Attachment
C). The City of Tukwila committed itself to reduce greenhouse gases
produced by City operations by 50 percent by the year 2020. Resolution
1649 also called for completion of an inventory of greenhouse gases that are
produced by City operations. That inventory found that the City was
responsible for 7,041 tons of CO2. Over 50 percent of the City's CO2 was
the result of electrical operation at City buildings, parks, and operation of
street lights.
A City of Tukwila CO2 reduction program was created. One project
electrical upgrades of City facilities will generate significant returns with
minimal expenditure of funds; essentially the low- hanging fruit. The first
location will be lighting and electrical upgrades at the City Hall Campus and
the second location will be lighting upgrades to exterior parking lights at a
regional soccer facility that is dedicated to improving children's lives through
soccer and a third location will be exterior lighting upgrades at the Tukwila
Community Center.
City Hall Campus Lighting and Electrical Upgrades
City of Tukwila offices are primarily located at the City Hall campus, which
includes City Hall and the City Hall annex building better known as the 6300
Building. City Hall was constructed in 1979 and the 6300 Building was
constructed in 1980. These two buildings combined use over one million
kilowatt hours of electricity per year and cost taxpayers a $100,000 in
electrical costs.

In November of 2008, Capital Lighting Company provided a draft scope of
work for electrical upgrades to the City Hall Campus. The scope of work
includes:
City Hall Building
1. Install 16 occupancy sensors;
2. Retrofit nine two -lamp, two -foot fixtures with lamps and ballasts;
3. Retrofit 265 two -lamp, four -foot fixtures with lamps and ballasts;
4. Retrofit 85 three -lamp, four -foot fixtures with lamps and ballasts;
5. Retrofit 36 three -lamp, four -foot fixtures (dual switch) with lamps and
ballasts;
6. Retrofit three, four -lamp, four -foot fixtures in the jail cells with lamps
and ballasts;
7. Retrofit 41 two -lamp, 6" u -bend fixtures with u -bend lamps and
ballasts;
8. Retrofit 19 three -lamp 3" u -bend fixtures with kit to accept four
F17T8 lamps and ballasts;
9. Replace 11 exit signs with LED signs.
6300 Building
1. Retrofit one two -lamp, four -foot fixture with lamps and ballasts;
2. Retrofit two one -lamp, four -foot fixtures with lamps and ballasts;
3. Replace the six -foot fixture in the elevator with a new four -foot
fixture;
4. Install 23 occupancy sensors;
5. Replace 4 exit signs with LED signs.
The proposed scope of work provided to the City by Capital Lighting
Company (see Attachment D) estimates the total cost for upgrades at City
Hall to be $28,591.25, and the total cost for upgrades at the 6300 Building to
be $3,712.60. These estimates include the anticipated utility rebate amount
from Puget Sound Energy. Capital Lighting will assist the City in leveraging
an energy rebate from Puget Sound Energy for at least 30% of the cost of the
project.
If awarded grant funds, the City of Tukwila will request an updated estimate
for the work proposed. The City of Tukwila is requesting $35,000 in grant
funds to cover the work of the contractor. For all work proposed under this
application, the City is also requesting 10 percent of the total grant amount
for grant administration, and 10 percent of the total grant amount for project
management, to include field review and inspections of the retrofit project to
the City Hall campus.
Fort Dent Parking Lot Light Fixtures
The City of Tukwila identified the need to replace the light fixtures at Fort
Dent Park to assist in reduction of CO2 emissions. The City acquired Fort
Dent Park in 2003 from King County and entered into a lease with Starfire
Sports, which operates one of the premier soccer training complexes in the
Country. Starfire Sports is a non profit organization, dedicated to providing a
first class soccer training facility for kids. During the spring, summer, and
fall, Starfire regularly hosts both youth and adult soccer tournaments. The
City of Tukwila and Starfire Sports operate Fort Dent Park jointly. In
addition to the soccer training complex, there are regional trails and a public
playground at Fort Dent Park. Both the trails and playground are maintained
by the City. The City is also responsible for maintaining the parking lot and
parking lot lights.
Fort Dent Park was originally constructed in the early 1970s and the 47
parking light fixtures are the original metal halide. These lights are
inefficient and do not provide the safety light needed in order operate a park
dedicated to use by children and their families. The City has been gradually
replacing the lights as funding becomes available, and has replaced five of
the lights to date. The City proposes to replace the remaining 43 light
fixtures with a more energy efficient and effective induction light system,
which will reduce energy usage and improve parking lot lighting.
The City has an electrical contractor working on providing a lighting study
and final quote; initial estimate is approximately $80,000 for the energy
efficiency retrofit. An additional 10 percent of the total grant amount is
requested for grant administration, and 10 percent of the total grant amount is
requested for project management, to include field review and inspections.
Tukwila Community Center Parking Lot Light Fixtures
The City of Tukwila identified the need to replace the light fixtures at the
Tukwila Community Center to assist in reduction of CO2 emissions. The
Tukwila Community Center provides a gathering place for South King
County residents for a variety of activities. The facility includes a
playground, playfields, a skate park, water spray park, gym, fitness room and
equipment, and meeting rooms available for community events, weddings
and other events. Though it was constructed in the 1990's, there are 21
fixtures which have been identified for retrofit with an induction light system
in order to reduce energy use.
The City has an electrical contractor working on providing a lighting study
and final quote; initial estimate is approximately $40,000 for the energy
efficiency retrofit. An additional 10 percent of the total grant amount is
requested for grant administration, and 10 percent of the total grant amount is
requested for project management, to include field review and inspections.
1. What other funds will you be The Mayor's Office has set aside a "green fund" to
using for the activity? Include any provide capital for projects that reduce energy usage and
funds from the applicant and other CO2 emissions. $10,000 is budgeted to assist in the
partners. energy efficiency retrofit project. The City will also
pursue rebates from Puget Sound Energy for the activity.
2. How many jobs will be created or 1 Two jobs will be created by this project, based on the

retained by the activity? This will
be based on the total amount of
funds for the activity, including
funds from other sources.
3. How much energy will be saved,
or generated by renewable sources
under Activity #13, by the activity?
4. Describe your current state of
preparation to begin activity tasks.
5. Describe how benefits such as
jobs created or retained and energy

EECBG funding period). For how
long and how much of these benefits
will persist?
total from the EECBG Estimated Expected Benefits
Calculator for Activity #5.
A total of 371,390 kWh and 210 tons of greenhouse gas
emissions will be reduced by this retrofit project, based
on the total from the EECBG Estimated Expected
Benefits Calculator for Activity #5.
In 2006, the City conducted an inventory of greenhouse
gases that are produced by City operations. That
inventory found that the City was responsible for 7,041
tons of CO2. Over 50 percent of the City's CO2 was the
result of electrical operation at City buildings, parks, and
street lights.
As a result of the inventory, a City of Tukwila CO2
reduction program was created. One project electrical
upgrades of City facilities will generate significant
returns with minimal expenditure of funds, essentially
the low- hanging fruit.
The City has also created an internal "green team" that
identifies and supports green programs for city
operations. As part of the City's green efforts we are
working with Capital Lighting and other electrical
consultants to produce detailed work plans for lighting
upgrades to the City Hall campus and the other City
facilities.
Energy efficiency retrofits at other City facilities; in
particular the Fort Dent/Starfire Complex and the
Tukwila Community Center are identified in the City's
CO2 Reduction Program.
Tukwila is a small city and has a limited budget. The
City is committed to making improvements to how it
operates so that our businesses and residents are served
as efficiently as possible. Every dollar the city spends on
our electric bills is one less dollar that can be spent on
providing direct services to our city residents and
businesses. The proposed project will reduce the City's
electrical costs, thereby allowing the City to have more
financial flexibility to fund and retain other projects and
programs in a period of great financial hardship.
Energy savings will be permanent. New energy- saving
improvements will be maintained and replaced as needed
for the life of the facility, or until such time as additional
upgrades or retrofits are necessary.

charitable organization by the IRS. We are operators of a 54 -acre athletic facility at Fort
Dent Park in Tukwila, Washington. Our mission is to inspire, encourage and empower
youth through participation in sports, Starfire Sports strives to provide world class,
inclusive facilities where all youth are welcome as equal participants while they develop
as leaders and responsible citizens in their community.
The opportunity that created a home for Starfire Sports occurred in 2003 when an
unprecedented public private partnership was struck between the City of Tukwila and
Starfire Sports. Fort Dent Park was designated for closure until Tukwila took ownership
and signed a 40 year concession agreement with Starfire Sports to construct park
improvements and operate athletic programs and other charitable activities at the site.
Unfortunately we have had a growing concern with the parking facilities at our complex
for several years now. We believe they pose a serious life and safety risk due to outdated
and substandard lighting conditions. With our primary clientele comprising youth and
families, accidents and injuries after dark due to vehicle pedestrian collisions or even
personal assault are a very real concern. We regretfully have a long list of incident
reports filed with the Tukwila Police Department regarding vehicle break -ins, theft and
vandalism that have occurred within our parking lots after dark.
It is our sincere hope that the City of Tukwila will be successful with their Energy
Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Application and that together we can complete
this much needed facility improvement at the Starfire Sports Complex.
Sincerely,
STARFIRE SPORTS

A. Grant Award: Energy Updates to City Facilities
Staff is seeking full Council acceptance of a grant award from the Washington State Department of
Commerce for energy upgrades to City facilities.
The grant award amount is $129,000, and requires a $10,000 match which can be a mixture of cash and
labor. The City match will be funded through the green initiatives budget line item in the Mayor's Office.
Grant funding will only cover a portion of the energy upgrades at the City facilities listed below.
Additional funding is anticipated to be secured via rebates through providers such as Puget Sound Energy
and Seattle City Light. Projects listed below are listed in order of priority.

B. Valley Communications Center Bond Ordinance
Staff is seeking full Council adoption of an ordinance that provides for the repayment of new refunding
bonds as a member city of Valley Communications (ValleyCom), and for authorization for the Mayor to
execute a continuing disclosure statement.
In 2000, bonds were issued to construct the ValleyCom Emergency Dispatch Center. In order to capitalize
on low interest rates currently available, the bonds can be refunded. This action will save the City of
Tukwila an estimated $77,923 between now and 2015. There is a bond issuance cost associated with the
refunding, but still results in a savings. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO FEBRUARY 8

Surface Water Management Ordinance

Jim Haggerton, Mayor
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requires that the City adopt
regulations and other requirements outlined in the City's General Permit which became effective
February 16, 2007. These requirements include adopting a Surface Water Design Manual which has
to be approved by the Department of Ecology (DOE) by February 15, 2010. The City can adopt the
2005 DOE Design Manual, adopt another jurisdictions manual which has been approved by the
DOE or develop our own manual and submit it to the DOE for approval.
DISCUSSION
Surface Water Design Manuals provide requirements regarding detention, water quality and
maintenance standards for proposed developments. The City currently uses the 1998 King County
Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM) for this purpose; however, it does not meet current
NPDES requirements.
Staff worked with a consultant and determined that adopting the 2009 KCSWDM with supporting
documents is our best option to meet this requirement. The benefits of this manual include:
Most surrounding jurisdictions are adopting the KCSWDM standards.
The DOE manual only regulates developments greater than one acre; therefore the City
would need to continue to use the 1998 KCSWDM for developments less than an acre.
Development and approval of a City of Tukwila Manual would be cost prohibitive.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to approve the Surface Water Management Ordinance adopting the
2009 KCSWDM and consider this item at the February 8, 2010 Committee of the Whole meeting
and subsequent February 16, 2010 Regular meeting.

Washington Water Resource Inventory Areas (WRIAs) as defined in the Washington
Administrative Code.
14.30.040 Applicability. TMC Chapter 14.30 applies to all development activities
occurring within the City limits that could affect surface water.
14.30.050 Compliance.
A. TMC Chapter 14.30 contains minimum requirements. The requirements do not
replace, repeal, abrogate, supersede or affect any other more stringent requirements,
rules, regulations, covenants, standards or restrictions. Where TMC Chapter 14.30
imposes requirements that provide more protection to human health or the
environment, the requirements of TMC Chapter 14.30 shall prevail.
B. Approvals and permits granted under TMC Chapter 14.30 do not imply waiver
of other laws and regulations, nor do they indicate compliance with other laws and
regulations.
C. Compliance with the minimum standards and requirements set forth in TMC
Chapter 14.30 and related regulations, standards and manuals adopted by the City does
not necessarily mitigate all impacts to human health and the environment. In such
cases, the applicant must implement additional mitigation to protect human health and
the environment.
D. City departments shall comply with all the requirements of TMC Chapter 14.30,
with the exception of obtaining permit and approvals from the City for works
performed in the public rights -of -way, or for operation and maintenance activities by
the Department of Parks and Recreation.
E. Unless otherwise required by law, in the event of a conflict or inconsistency
between a standard or requirement of this chapter and a standard or requirement of the
Public Works Surface Water Regulations and Procedures, the SWDM, the DOE SWDM
or the SPPM, this chapter shall control to the extent of the conflict or inconsistency;
provided that, if a requirement or standard of the Public Works Surface Water
Regulations and Procedures, SWDM, DOE SWDM or SPPM, is more restrictive, i.e.,
provides more protection to human health or the environment, then the more restrictive
requirement or standard shall control. For example, if a particular core requirement
exemption allowed under the SWDM is not allowed pursuant to the Public Works
Surface Water Regulations and Procedures, the more restrictive standard of the Public
Works Surface Water Regulations and Procedures will apply.

hazards, the Public Works Director may require the provision of financial guarantee
(bond, note, letter of credit, etc.) with the City to mitigate damages should they occur.
The following provisions shall apply in instances where such financial guarantees are
required:
1. Such bond or other proof of financial guarantee shall not exceed 150% of the
estimated cost of constructing and maintaining those improvements which are the
source of the risk or potential hazard; provided that, in the case of surface water
activities which do not involve expenditures at least equal to the cost of remedying the
possible adverse impacts of such activities, the required financial guarantee shall be
equal to City staff's best estimate of the possible cost directly associated with remedying
the adverse impacts to public or private properties not associated with the
development.
2. The amount of any financial guarantee shall not serve as a gauge or limit to
the compensation collected from a property owner because of damages associated with
any surface water activity.
D. The City shall retain the financial guarantee until the completion of any project
involving surface water activity or following a prescribed trial maintenance period.
E. The City of Tukwila may redeem financial guarantees provided in accordance

following minimum amounts:
1. Bodily injury liability $1 million per occurrence.
2. Property damage liability $1 million per occurrence.
B. The Public Works Director may require higher policy limits than set forth in
TMC Section 14.30.12OA in those cases where the minimum amounts are deemed
insufficient to cover possible risks. All insurance policies obtained in accordance with
these provisions shall name the City of Tukwila as an "additional insured," and shall be
written by a company licensed to do business in the State of Washington. Neither
issuance of a permit, nor compliance with these provisions or any other conditions
imposed by the City relieves any person from responsibility for damage to persons or
property otherwise imposed by law, nor for damages in an amount greater than the
insured amount. Issuance of a permit shall not form the basis of liability against the City
for damages to persons or property arising from the development activities permitted
by the City or otherwise undertaken by any person.
14.30.130 Exceptions.
A. Requested by Applicant.
1. The Director may grant a written exception from any requirements of TMC
Chapter 14.30 if there are exceptional circumstances applicable to the site such that strict
adherence to the provisions contained herein will result in unnecessary hardship and
not fulfill the purpose of TMC Chapter 14.30. The cost to design and construct the
improvements shall not constitute hardship and shall not form the basis for an
exception.
2. The applicant shall provide the Director a written request stating the specific
exception sought and the reasons supporting the exception.
3. The Director may grant an exception to TMC Chapter 14.30 only if all of the
following criteria are met:

TMC Chapter 14.30;
c. Granting the exception or standard reduction will not be detrimental to
the public welfare, public safety, existing drainage systems or other property in the
drainage basin; and
d. The recommendation of a registered civil engineer supports the exception.
B. Low Impact Development.
1. In order to achieve the City's goal of increasing the amount of development
with less impervious surface, the Director may approve exceptions to Public Works
standards, including street standards. Exceptions requiring approval under the land use
codes, such as parking and landscaping, must be made to the Department of
Community Development.
2. The applicant shall provide justification for each exception and shall show
that the project meets all other TMC requirements and that the project has a reasonable
assurance of long -term success.
3. Each exception shall be assessed on the following criteria:

necessary for the exceptions will be recorded against and will be binding against all
affected properties.
C. The Director may require a monitoring and evaluation plan in order to measure
performance of specific elements in the exceptions.
D. The Director may require a performance bond for 150% of the installation cost of
the exceptions.
E. The Director may require a two -year maintenance bond for 20% of the
construction cost.
14.30.140 Liability. Liability for any adverse impacts or damages resulting from

II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. 2010 -2011 Recycling Grants
Staff is seeking full Council approval for the Mayor to sign and enter into an interlocal agreement with
the King County Solid Waste Division for Waste Reduction/Recycling grant funding in the amount of
$81,069. This funding will be used to support the Tukwila Recycling Program during 2010 -1 1.
The City is able to maintain and run the Tukwila Recycling Program through this grant funding which
cycles every two years. Monies are received through the Waste Reduction/Recycling Grant (administered
by King County) and often supplemented by funding received for the Washington Department of
Ecology.
The Tukwila Recycling Program is 100% grant funded, and includes residential as well as business based
recycling opportunities and other special collection events. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD
TO JANUARY 25 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
B. Surface Water Management Ordinance
Staff is seeking full Council approval of a draft ordinance adopting a Surface Water Design Manual
which will outline the requirements regarding detention, water quality and maintenance standards for
proposed developments. This ordinance will repeal and replace the current Surface Water Management
ordinance.
4
The primary purpose of this ordinance is to adopt the 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual as
the City's. Adoption of such a manual is required by the National Pollutant Discharge and Elimination
System (NPDES). The manual must be approved by the Department of Ecology and adopted by February
15, 2010. Some surrounding cities have also chosen to adopt the King County Manual as their own.
The greatest impact this new manual will have on the City is the water detention requirement. Detention
requirements have increase in order to reduce sedimentary and water run -off from streams in an effort to
control erosion. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JANURY 25 COW FOR
DISCUSSION.
C. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Ordinance
Staff is seeking full Council approval of a draft ordinance regarding Illicit Discharge Detention and
Elimination which provides regulations prohibiting most non stormwater discharges to surface water
systems.

At the January 12, 2010, Utilities Committee meeting, staff requested full Council approval of two
ordinances: Surface Water Management and Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination. With unanimous
approval, the Committee forwarded each ordinance to the January 25 COW for discussion. Both items
were removed from the January 25 COW due to additional City Attorney updates.
Staff returned to update the Committee on theses changes which are primarily formatting and /or
clarification. However, some additional details were added to the ordinances including: an order of

regulations for Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination per the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). NPDES requires that the City adopt the
requirements by February 15, 2010. This ordinance will meet all of the Department of
Ecology's requirements prohibiting all non stormwater discharges into the stormwater
system.

SUBJECT: NPDES Program
Project No. 93 -DR10
Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Ordinance
ISSUE
Adopt an Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Ordinance per NPDES Requirements.
BACKGROUND
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) requires that the City adopt
regulations and other requirements outlined in the City's general permit that became effective
February 16, 2007. These requirements include providing regulations that prohibit most non
stormwater discharges to surface water systems.
DISCUSSION
The City's existing Surface Water Ordinance has regulations prohibiting most non stormwater
discharges to stormwater systems; however, these existing regulations did not completely meet the
requirements of the City's NPDES permit. Staff worked with the Department of Ecology's draft
guidance document to model a new ordinance which meets all current NPDES permit
requirements. This new ordinance has some minor changes which will minimally impact our
residential community.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to approve the Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Ordinance
and consider this item at the February 8, 2010 Committee of the Whole meeting and subsequent
February 16, 2010 Regular Meeting.

A. 2010 -2011 Recvclina Grants
Staff is seeking full Council approval for the Mayor to sign and enter into an interlocat agreement with
the King County Solid Waste Division for Waste Reduction/Recycling grant funding in the amount of
$81,069. This funding will be used to support the Tukwila Recycling Program during 2010 -11.
The City is able to maintain and run the Tukwila Recycling Program through this grant funding which
cycles every two years. Monies are received through the Waste Reduction/Recycling Grant (administered
by King County) and often supplemented by funding received for the Washington Department of
Ecology.
The Tukwila Recycling Program is 100% grant funded, and includes residential as well as business based
recycling opportunities and other special collection events. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD
TO JANUARY 25 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
B. Surface Water Management Ordinance
Staff is seeking full Council approval of a draft ordinance adopting a Surface Water Design Manual
which will outline the requirements regarding detention, water quality and maintenance standards for
proposed developments. This ordinance will repeal and replace the current Surface Water Management
ordinance.
The primary purpose of this ordinance is to adopt the 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual as
the City's. Adoption of such a manual is required by the National Pollutant Discharge and Elimination
System (NPDES). The manual must be approved by the Department of Ecology and adopted by February
15, 2010. Some surrounding cities have also chosen to adopt the King County Manual as their own.
The greatest impact this new manual will have on the City is the water detention requirement. Detention
requirements have increase in order to reduce sedimentary and water run -off from streams in an effort to
control erosion. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JANURY 25 COW FOR
DISCUSSION.
C. Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination Ordinance
Staff is seeking full Council approval of a draft ordinance regarding Illicit Discharge Detention and
Elimination which provides regulations prohibiting most non stormwater discharges to surface water
systems.

Utilities Committee Minutes January 12. 2010 Paae 2
Previously, such regulations were addressed in the City's Surface Water Management Ordinance;
however, due to changes to the current ordinance and the need to improve and clarify illicit discharge
requirements, staff is recommending a separate ordinance addressing illicit discharge. The new ordinance
provides clear enforcement regulations. Staff worked with the Department of Ecology to ensure NPDES
permit requirements and regulations were addressed via this ordinance. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.
FORWARD TO JANUARY 25 COW FOR DISCUSSION.

Transit Center Design Report and Siting Decision
Jim Haggerton, Mayor
ISSUE
Acceptance of the Tukwila Transit Center Design Report and siting decision for the northbound stop location.
BACKGROUND
In January 2006, 1B1 Group was selected to design the Tukwila Transit Center project on Andover Park West near
Baker Boulevard. The team worked with King County Metro (Metro), the Tukwila Police Department (specifically
the Crime Prevention Resource Team), Metro Transit Police, and the adjacent property owners and businesses
through a series of meetings and workshops. A conceptual plan was developed and a report prepared with a site
recommendation in January 2007. However, due to pending litigation with Open Frame LLC, as well as minor
language modifications to the Transportation Element relating to the transit center, no siting options for the
northbound stop were presented to Council and the design report was never presented for approval. Since that
time, the litigation with Open Frame LLC has been concluded fully in the City's favor. Design of the southbound
stop has continued to proceed as no controversy exists over its location. Design is currently at the 30% level.
Staff has pursued grants for the construction of the transit center from various sources including the Federal Transit
Authority (FTA), Surface Transportation Program (STP), Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT)
Transit Mobility Grant, and direct Appropriations (as supported by Ball Janik). Unfortunately the City, as of yet, has
been unsuccessful in obtaining grant funds. A new grant source through the FTA has recently been funded through
the Obama Administration's Livability Initiative and the Tukwila Transit Center could be a competitive project for
these federal dollars.
The current contract with IBI is to complete the design of the west side of the Transit Center and update the Design
Report for the related Andover Park West widening project. Completion is currently due by May 30, 2010. The
contract does not currently include work on design of the northbound stop as a siting decision by Council is needed.
The Design Report (attached) discusses the Transit Center project, the goals and needs, and the conceptual
design. A recommendation for the northbound stop location is included in the Design Report. With agreement on a
northbound stop, a fully integrated Transit Center can be designed.
The new FTA grant application, due February 8, 2010, does have requirements that the funds be ready for
expenditure quickly as one main purpose of the grant is to create jobs. The second major objective of the grant is
to promote livable communities and create more transportation choices through transit improvements. Staff is
researching the grant to determine if the funds could be used to complete the design of any northbound stop
location as well as construction of the Transit Center.
Approve recommended northbound site location. Authorize staff to pursue grant funds through the FTA Bus and
Bus Facilities Livability Initiative.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Announces $280 Million for Streetcars
First Funds for Administration's Livability Initiative Will Create Jobs
U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood today announced the availability of $280 million for urban circulator
projects such as streetcars, buses, and bus facilities to support communities, expand business opportunities and improve
people's quality of life while also creating jobs.
The money represents the first batch of funding by the Obama Administration for its Livability Initiative, a joint venture
of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
This represents a significant effort to promote livable communities, improve the quality of life for more Americans and create
more transportation choices that serve the needs of individual communities," Secretary LaHood said. "Fostering the
concept of livability in transportation projects will stimulate America's neighborhoods to become safer, healthier and more
vibrant."
Secretary LaHood made the announcement at the historic Carrollton Car Barn streetcar facility with New Orleans
Mayor Ray Nagin during a tour of the city's Katrina recovery efforts.
"Not only will these urban circulator and bus projects provide Americans with new neighborhood friendly transit systems, they
will give us a cleaner environment and create much needed jobs," Federal Transit Administrator Peter Rogoff said.
A maximum amount of $25 million per project will be made available from approximately $130 million in unallocated
discretionary New Starts /Small Starts Program funds. Eligible projects include streetcars and other urban circulator systems.
Priority will be given to projects that connect destinations and foster the redevelopment of communities into walkable, mixed
use, high- density environments.
A second pot of money totaling $150 million in unallocated discretionary Bus and Bus Facility funds will be available for
projects that will foster the preservation and enhancement of urban and rural communities by providing new mobility options
which provide access to jobs, healthcare, and education, and /or contribute to the redevelopment of neighborhoods into
pedestrian friendly vibrant environments.
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) plans to announce grants early in 2010. Key lawmakers on Capitol Hill greeted the
news with enthusiasm.
"This grant program will create jobs and reduce pollution while saving commuters in Connecticut and across the country time
and money," said Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd (D -CT), author of legislation to help towns and
regions plan and implement development projects that integrate needs for transportation, housing, land use, and economic
development. "I look forward to working with the Department of Transportation, along with HUD and EPA, as we work to
make communities across the country more livable."
"I applaud this important step in recognizing the environmental and economic development benefits of streetcars and other
sustainable transit projects," House Transportation and Infrastructure Chairman Jim Oberstar (D -MN) said. "1 have
always embraced the vision to improve the sustainability of our communities through new transit and livability initiatives, and I
look forward to working with the Administration to accomplish our shared goals."
"Unlike the Bush Administration and its failed transit policies, this Administration clearly understands the need to fund low
cost, energy- efficient, made -in- America projects like streetcars," Congressman Peter DeFazio (D -OR), Chairman of the
House Hiahways and Transit Subcommitteesaid. "These competitive grant programs will invest in good paying jobs,
livable communities, and a less- congested, more fuel- efficient future."
"This investment in buses, streetcars and sustainable transit projects will reduce congestion and lay a strong foundation for
jobs and economic growth in communities around the country," said Senator Patty Murray (D -WA), Chairman of the
Senate Transportation and Housing Appropriations Subcommittee, who included funding for the Administration's livable
communities initiative in the 2010 Senate bill. "I applaud the Obama Administration for making good on the promise to invest
in infrastructure that strengthens both our economy and our environment. I look forward to continuing to work with the
Administration on these sustainable, livable and job- creating investments."
"This is exactly the kind of effort that I have been urging the Department to take. The Secretary's call for transit investments
in innovative streetcar, bus and transit systems will build more livable communities for families while helping to reduce our
nation's carbon footprint," said Congressman John W. Olver (D -MA), Chairman of the House Transportation and
Housing Appropriations Subcommittee.
"As a longtime champion of streetcars, it is rewarding to see this administration prioritize community livability and invest in our
nation's transportation systems," Congressman Earl Blumenauer (D -OR) said. "Making a down payment on streetcars,
better bus access, and improved public transit means investing in our Nation's economic success. The Obama
Administration is following through on its commitment to be a better partner to local communities by laying the physical
groundwork for good jobs and healthier, more secure communities."

II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Transportation Element to Comnrehensive Plan
Staff is seeking full Council approval to enter into an agreement with Fehr Peers (formerly known as
Mirai Associates) in the amount of $308,479 for transportation modeling services as required for updating
of the transportation element of the City's Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan update is required
to be completed by 2011.
Fehr Peers has provided traffic modeling and concurrency services for the City since 2002. They are
familiar with the City and its traffic functions. The work provided in the agreement includes but is not
limited to: transportation data collection and analysis; forecasting model update; concurrency update;
impact fees review; initial street concept plan; transportation facility improvements and the transportation
element policy review.
Staff noted that City has been selected as a grant recipient for funding through the Washington State
Department of Commerce for Option Task A: Calculate Pedestrian and Bike Levels of Service, as discussed
on page 13 of the Committee agenda packet. However, funds have not yet been distributed to the
Department of Commerce via the appropriate federal government agency. Once the award is ready to
process, staff will return to Committee with additional information. This project was one of eight chosen
state wide, and the award amount is $69,500. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JANUARY
25 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
B. Tukwila Transit Center and Andover Park West Design Report and Siting Decision
In order to move forward with a completed Design Report for the Tukwila Transit Center and Andover Park
West, staff is seeking full Council direction on a siting decision for the northbound transit stop.
Completion of this report has been delayed for almost two years due to pending litigation which is no
longer in question. Staff provided a brief overview of the report and its siting suggestions in consideration
of pedestrian friendliness, functionality and urban appeal.
In conclusion, staff recommends that Council consider the Farside Concept siting option for the north
transit stop, as it best meets the needs of pedestrians, transit users and vehicular traffic. King County Metro
Transit Service is also in favor of the Farside Concept siting.
Currently, complete funding is not available for this project. Staff will continue to seek grant opportunities,
and is hopeful that a new federal initiative may offer opportunities for funding. SUPPORTIVE OF STAFF
RECOMMENDATION (FARSIDE CONCEPT). FORWARD TO FEBRUARY 8 COW FOR
DISCUSSION.

FROM: Shawn Hunstock, Finance Director
DATE: January 28, 2010
SUBJECT: Valley Communications Refunding Bond Ordinance
ISSUE
BACKGROUND
DISCUSSION
RECOMMENDATION
Jim Haggerton, Mayor
The Valley Communications (ValleyCom) Board of Directors (Admin Board) has
authorized the refunding of its series 2000 bonds. As a member City of ValleyCom, the
City Council must approve the refunding by adoption of an ordinance prior to the bond
sale.
The City of Tukwila and other ValleyCom members created the Valley Communications
Center Development Authority (Authority) in April of 2000 with the explicit intent to issue
bonds for the construction of an emergency dispatch center. The Authority issued
$12,758,000 in bonds and began construction soon thereafter with completion in 2002.
Debt service on the bonds is shared equally among the five ValleyCom cities. The
portion attributable to the City of Tukwila when the bonds were originally sold was
$2,551,600.
The purpose of the bond refunding is to capitalize on the relatively low interest rates
available in the bond market at this time. When originally sold, the bonds had an
average interest rate of 5.30 The average interest rate on the bond refunding is
projected to be 2.77
The refunding will result in a savings, net of bond issuance costs, of $389,613. The City
of Tukwila's share of that savings is 20 or $77,923. This savings will be realized
between now and 2015.
The Council is being asked to approve the ordinance providing for repayment of the
new refunding bonds, and authorize the Mayor to execute a continuing disclosure
agreement.

II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Grant Award: Energy Undates to City Facilities
Staff is seeking full Council acceptance of a grant award from the Washington State Department of
Commerce for energy upgrades to City facilities.
The grant award amount is $129,000, and requires a $10,000 match which can be a mixture of cash and
labor. The City match will be funded through the green initiatives budget line item in the Mayor's Office.
Grant funding will only cover a portion of the energy upgrades at the City facilities listed below.
Additional funding is anticipated to be secured via rebates through providers such as Puget Sound Energy
and Seattle City Light. Projects listed below are listed in order of priority.
City Hall and 6300 Building
o Retrofit Fixtures
o Install Occupancy Sensors
Fort Dent Park
o Parking Lot Light Fixtures

UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO FEBRUARY 8 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
B. Valley Communications Center Bond Ordinance
Staff is seeking full Council adoption of an ordinance that provides for the repayment of new refunding
bonds as a member city of Valley Communications (ValleyCom), and for authorization for the Mayor to
execute a continuing disclosure statement.
In 2000, bonds were issued to construct the ValleyCom Emergency Dispatch Center. In order to capitalize
on low interest rates currently available, the bonds can be refunded. This action will save the City of
Tukwila an estimated $77,923 between now and 2015. There is a bond issuance cost associated with the
refunding, but still results in a savings. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO FEBRUARY 8
COW FOR DISCUSSION.
C. Utility Billing Refunds and Back Bill Policy
As an information only item, staff reported on a new policy that will be implemented regarding utility
service billing refunds and back bills.
