CODIFIED AT TUKWILA MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 5.04, REVISING
THE CITY'S BUSINESS LICENSE FEE SCHEDULE; PROVIDING FOR
SEVERABILITY; AND ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes the City of Tukwila is in need of additional
revenue sources in order to address a dramatic decline in recent sales tax collections;
and
WHEREAS, the City of Tukwila's business license regulations have been
established to ensure the legal conduct of businesses, to assist in the effective
administration of health, fire, building, zoning and other codes of the City, and to
provide a means for obtaining public information and compiling statistical information
on existing and new businesses within the corporate limits of the City of Tukwila, and
WHEREAS, the City Council and Mayor are in the process of implementing
permanent reductions to the General Fund operating budget; and
WHEREAS, such expenditure reductions are not sufficient to fully account for the
recent decline in revenue, the City Council has determined it is in the best interest of
Tukwila citizens and businesses to provide long -term financial stability, rather than
continuing to use one -time cost savings measures, to address unplanned economic
challenges the City might be faced with in the future;

WASHINGTON, HEREBY ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS:
