DATE: August 5, 2010
INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
SUBJECT: Tukwila Pool Metropolitan Park District Funding Option
Jim Haggerton, Mayor
ISSUE
The City Council directed staff to investigate the creation of a Metropolitan Park District to fund
the continued operations and improvements of the City of Tukwila Pool.
BACKGROUND
On June 22, 2010, the City Council held a Council Budget Work Session which included
discussions regarding the Tukwila Pool. Attachment A is an Informational Memo dated June 21,
2010 that was distributed at the June 22, 2010 Council Budget Work Session. It was determined
that the City Council values and wants to keep the pool open. However, due to the current
economy it is not feasible for the City to continue to support funding pool operations. The City
Council determined that it could be possible to keep the pool open with an alternate funding
mechanism, like a Metropolitan Park District (MPD) allowed under RCW 35.61. It was
concluded that a "vote of the people" would be necessary to decide the future of the pool with
the formation of a Metropolitan Parks District (MPD).
The pool is located on land leased from the Tukwila School District (TSD). The City's lease with
TSD expires on September 14, 2011. City Administration is negotiating with the TSD regarding
the lease extension and determining how this will work with the establishment of the MPD. The
Tukwila Pool lease is tentatively scheduled for the TSD Board meeting on August 24, 2010.
Decision points to consider when establishing a Metropolitan Pool District include:
1. Governance
2. Boundaries
3. Support Services
4. Operating Budget Expenditures and Revenue
5. Capital Improvement Program
6. Millage Rate
7. Ballot Measure Timeline
DISCUSSION OF DECISION POINTS
A MPD may be created for the management, control, improvement, maintenance, and
acquisition of parks, parkways, boulevards, and recreational facilities. A MPD may include
territory located in portions or all of one or more cities or counties, or one or more cities and
counties, when created or enlarged as provided in this chapter (RCW 35.61)

1. GOVERNANCE: The MPD will be composed of a board of metropolitan park commissioners
from among the following alternatives (35.61.050):
a. The commissioners of the district may be selected by election, in which case at the
same election at which the proposition is submitted to the voters as to whether a
MPD is to be formed, five park commissioners shall be elected. The election of park
commissioners shall be null and void if the MPD is not created.
b. In a district wholly located within a city or within the unincorporated area of a county,
the governing body of such city or legislative authority of such county may be
designated to serve in an ex officio capacity as the board of metropolitan park
commissioners, provided that when creation of the district is proposed by citizen
petition, the city or county approves by resolution such designation.
c. Where the proposed district is located within more than one city, more than one
county, or any combination of cities and counties, each city governing body and
county legislative authority may be designated to collectively serve ex officio as the
board of metropolitan park commissioners through selection of one or more
members from each to serve as the board, provided that when creation of the district
is proposed by citizen petition, each city governing body and county legislative
authority approve by resolution such designation.
POLICY DECISION 1: What form of Governance should be established for the MPD?
Staff Recommendation: "b" the City Council should be established as an ex officio
capacity as the board of metropolitan park commissioners.
2. BOUNDARIES: The MPD may include territory located within one city or county, or may
include portions of one or more cities or counties. For each city or county that the
boundary extends into a vote would need to be performed within each governance to be
included within district boundary. (RCW 35.61.020)
POLICY DECISION 2: What Boundaries should be established for the MPD?
Staff Recommendation: Establish the boundaries to be contiguous with the City of
Tukwila boundaries.
3. SUPPORT SERVICES: Consideration of support services that the MPD will need to include
are payroll, finance, legal, and insurance to complete day to day operations. Currently
these services are provided by the City. Support service options may include:
a. City: a contract with the City to perform support services.
b. Contracted Services: the MPD can contract these services with outside agencies.
c. MPD Staff: most services can be completed in house' by an executive
director /MPD manager
d. Combination: a mixture of the above.
A cost analysis of each support services method varies greatly depending upon the
Governance and Boundaries. Staff will prepare the cost analysis once these decisions
are made.

POLICY DECISION 3: What Support Services method should be established for
implementing the MPD?
Staff Recommendation: Determine this once the policy decisions are made
regarding the Governance and Boundaries and staff prepares a cost analysis of the
various support services methods.
4. Operating Budget Expenditures and Revenue: The 2011 to 2021 budget scenarios
are based on the current 2010 budget (including 3% budget reductions). An anticipated
growth rate for revenue is 1% for pool participant fees and 2% for the tax rate, while the
expenditures are anticipated to increase at about 4% per year. The proposed revenue and
expenditure budget scenarios projected out for ten (10) years can be found in Exhibit 1.
Table 1 is a summary of these revenue and expenditures, for the ten fiscal years starting
in 2012, ending in 2021 and an average of the revenues and expenditures. As you can
see the expenditures out grow the revenues over the course of time, however, there would
be approximately $31,354 carried over to start Fiscal Year 2022.

Please refer to Attachment A, page 2, table 1, for a review of the Tukwila Pool historical
expenditures and revenues from 2003 -2009.
POLICY DECISION 4: What expenditure and revenue budget should be established
for implementing the MPD?
Staff Recommendation: Use the proposed expenditure and revenue budget outlined
in Exhibit 1 until after the Support Services cost analysis is completed and the lease
issue is resolved with the Tukwila School District.
5. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM: The Tukwila Pool is 37 years old and is in need of
repairs, renovations and replacement of fixed assets to make the pool operate more
efficiently, to keep the pool operating properly and to increase the longevity and integrity of
the pool Table 2 demonstrates a review of the types of improvements that will reduce
operational costs and extend the life of the pool. A full list of Capital Improvements can be
found on Exhibit 2.

POLICY DECISION 5: What Capital Improvement budget should be established for
implementing the MPD?
Staff Recommendation: Use the proposed Capital Improvement budget outlined in
Exhibit 2. These projects need to be completed if the pool is to be viable for future
operations.
6. MILLAGE RATE: The millage rate or tax rate would be established by the City Council. To
determine this rate the budget discussed needs to be determined and the millage rate set
to cover the cost above the program and rental revenue. A tax rate of $0.15 per $1,000
assessed value would secure the funding that is needed to continue pool operations.
The impact of the millage rate can be determined by using the assessed value of the
home times the millage rate. For the examples below, the average single family home
assessed value in the City of Tukwila is $249,475. Table 3 indicates approximately what
the annual and monthly cost would be for a single family resident with the average
assessed value assuming the boundaries would be continuous within City boundaries.
Likewise, the cost for Multi- family and Condominiums are included.

Please see Exhibit 3 for details regarding State and City millage rate limits.
POLICY DECISION 6: What Millage Rate should be established for implementing the
MPD?
Staff Recommendation: Use the proposed Millage Rate of $0.15 per $1,000 assessed
value. This could be amended at a later time if the cost associated with other
decision points either increase or decrease the needed tax revenue.

7. BALLOT MEASURE TIMELINE: On July 1, 2010, the Legislative Analyst prepared a
memorandum regarding the schedule of items and due dates necessary in order to hold a
special election for the formation of a MPD. The City Council's consensus was to move
forward with the election in February 8, 2011 vs. an April 26, 2011. Table 4 below is a brief
outline of the ballot Measure Timeline for a February election; refer to Attachment B for
more detailed information.

Millage Rate Limits
The City is authorized to impose (1) a regular levy (up to $3.60/$1,000, Tess the Rural Library District levy
(not to exceed $0.50/$1,000 of assessed value) and (2) excess levies (unlimited as to rate or amount). The
regular levy is imposed without a vote of the people for general purposes, including payment of debt service
on the Bonds, and is subject to limitations (see "General Property Taxes Regular Property Tax Limitations"
herein). Excess levies are imposed, upon voter approval, to pay debt service on unlimited tax general
obligation bonds.
The overlapping taxing districts within the City have the statutory power to levy regular property taxes at the
following rates, subject to the limitations provided by chapter 84.55 RCW, and levy excess voter approved
property taxes. For purposes of demonstration, representative levy rates for "levy code 2340," the largest
levy code within the City, as well as the statutory levy authority of each type of potential overlapping district,
are listed below.

Includes both "regular" and "excess" (voter- approved) levies.
Levy code area 2340 is not within the boundaries of any fire protection district.
Pursuant to RCW 84.52.043(1), a county may increase its levy from $1.80 per $1,000 of assessed value to a rate not to exceed
$2.475 per $1,000 of assessed value for general county purposes if (i) the total levies for both the county and any road levy
imposed within the county do not exceed $4.05 per $1,000 of assessed value and (ii) no other taxing district has its levy reduced
as a result of the increased county levy. Road levies are collected only within the unincorporated portions of a county and
therefore do not apply to any territory within the City. King County imposes a road levy at a rate of $1.93572 per $1,000 assessed
value.
Pursuant to RCW 41 16.060, $0.225 of the total $3 60 must be used for fire pension funding purposes, if required; otherwise this
tax may be levied and used for any other municipal purpose
The City's levy authority of $3.60 per $1,000 of assessed value is reduced by the actual rate levied by the King County Rural
Library District which has the authority to levy up to $0 50 per $1,000 of assessed value.
RCW 84.52.043(1). The levy by the State may not exceed $3.60 per $1,000 of assessed value adjusted to the State equalized

^'r INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Tukwila City Council
FROM: Jim Haggerton, Mayor
Steve Lancaster, City Administrate
DATE: June 21, 2010
SUBJECT: Options for Operating Tukwila Pool
ISSUE
The City of Tukwila owns and operates Tukwila Pool, located on land leased from the Tukwila
School District. The City's lease with TSD expires on September 14, 2011. The City must
determine whether it is feasible and in the community's best interests (from both a financial and
a service standpoint) to extend the lease and continue to operate the pool beyond 2011. Key
factors to consider in making this determination are:
How important is continued operation of the pool to the community?
How much does it cost today, and how much will it cost in the future to provide this
service?
Options to be considered include:
A. Continue operating the pool as in recent years.
B. Reduce program offerings and hours of operation to reduce costs.
C. Modify fees to increase revenues.
D. Some combination of options A, B and C.
E. Contract with Third Party Operator
F. Close Tukwila Pool at the end of the current lease.
BACKGROUND
In the early 1970's King County built the "South Central Pool" on property it leased from the
South Central School District (since renamed and hereafter referenced as the Tukwila Pool and
the Tukwila School District). In 2002, due to King County budget issues, the County indicated
its intention to close the pool or, alternatively, turn it over to another entity to operate. The City
of Tukwila agreed to assume responsibility for operating the pool, and King County transferred
ownership of the pool and assigned its ground lease with TSD to the City in January 2003.
At the same time, King County assumed full responsibility for operation, maintenance and
ultimate replacement of the South Park Bridge, which responsibilities had previously been
shared between the County and the City. The City contributed $3 million as its final obligation
toward bridge operation, maintenance and replacement, and ceased paying annual operation
and maintenance costs.

Annual pool operating costs increased by approximately 44% between 2004 and 2009, while
operating revenue increased by approximately 7.5 In 2009, the general fund subsidy for
operating the Tukwila Pool was $441,758.
Programs at the City of Tukwila Pool focus on increasing water safety knowledge, and
enhancing a person's quality of life by providing opportunities for physical fitness, socialization,
and emotional balance. Core programs at the pool include: swim lessons for all ages and skill
levels, water aerobics, water walking, dive classes, lifeguard certification courses, lap swim,
open swim, and family swim. The facility is also rented to groups for private functions such as
pool parties, corporate training sessions, and several other unique pool uses (ex. kayak
instruction, airline water rescue simulation). Additionally, high school swim teams and private
swim league organizations rent the pool for swim practices. Table 2 indicates the total number
of participants per program by year between 2003 and 2009.

ANALYSIS OF OPTIONS
The following analysis is provided to assist the City in determining an appropriate course of
action. There remains considerable uncertainty regarding several important issues bearing on
this decision (including future lease rates, future operating costs, and the ability of customers to
absorb fee increases). This analysis should be considered an "order of magnitude" assessment
at this time.
Option A Continue Operating Tukwila Pool as in Recent Years
Three factors are important in understanding the financial implications of continuing to operate
Tukwila Pool in a manner similar to recent years:
1. Extension of the current lease with Tukwila School District
2. Projected operating expenses
3. Projected capital expenses
4. Projected revenue
Extension of Lease.
The City's lease with the Tukwila School District expires on September 14, 2011 (approximately
15 months from now). Preliminary discussions with regard to extension of the lease have been
held with Tukwila School District representatives. The District indicates an extended lease must
include lease payments reflecting the value of the property. The District contracted for an
appraisal in early 2009 which estimated the land plus improvement value at $1,015,000 at that
time. This value was discounted due to the remaining (at that time) 30 months on the City's $1
per year lease. Prior to applying this discount, the appraised value was estimated at
$1,350,562 ($510,000 land value plus $840,562 improvements value). The City has requested
but has not yet received a suggested future lease rate from the District.
Proiected Ooeratina Expenses
Without changes in operations or fee structure, operating costs can be expected to continue to
grow faster than revenues over the mid -to -long term.

INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 4
One notable change in near -term future operating expenses will be that the Pool Operator was
reclassified effective in 2010 to a Project Coordinator which is budgeted out of the Department's
Administration budget. Therefore, 0.75 FTE will be transferred to the Administration Budget for a
cost savings of approximately $53,000 with salary and benefits annually for the Pool Budget.
This transfer was accounted for in the Parks and Recreation Department Service Reduction
Proposals presented to the City Council on May 24, 2010.
The utility cost can be reduced with capital investments to the pool operating systems. For
example, in December 2009, a three -way actuator valve for the pool air heating system was
replaced. This $4,000 project has reduced our gas consumption by over $2,000 per month.
Other operating cost can be reduced with similar Capital investments (See Table 4 below). The
utilities are approximately 18% of the operating budget (see Attachment A for a cost and
percentage pie chart of the Tukwila Pool operating budget).
Proiected Capital Expenses
At City Council direction, the Pool has not made major Capital Improvements since the High
Performance Coating, often referred as painting, in 2005. There are 13 projects listed in Table 4
that show how the City of Tukwila could invest in the Tukwila Pool to operate more efficiently.
The list below indicates by priority what could be done to save annual operational cost by
reducing utilities such as gas, electricity, water and sewer.

There are a couple of projects that are necessary to extend the life and integrity of the Tukwila
Pool. The current pool liner was installed in the early 1990's and its expected life is near the
end. This project is identified in Project A below in Table 5 and would cost approximately
$250,000 to $275,000. The Pool Filters, Project B below, are currently a Vacuum Diatomaceous
Earth type of filter system. This is outdated and could be retrofitted to a High Rate Sand Filter
type system that is more efficient, using less chemically treated and heated -pool water, and
would reduce annual maintenance cost.

Projected Revenue
The 2010 projected revenue for the Tukwila Pool is on target to exceed the current revenue goal
of $205,000. The first five months of 2010 shows over a 5% increase in revenue as compared to
the same months in 2009. If this growth is consistent throughout 2010, revenues should out
perform the budget goal by more than $10,000.
Summary
Without changes in operations or fee structure, operating costs can be expected to continue to
grow faster than revenues over the mid -to -long term. This growth in the cost /revenue gap will
be stowed by the previously mentioned Project Coordinator reclassification (approximately
$50,000 per year) and could be further slowed by some strategic investments in energy
efficiency improvements (up to $50,000 per year with an up -front investment of $150,000 to
$300,000). Additionally the City should anticipate investing approximately $300,000 in
necessary capital improvements in the next few years.
Option B Reduce Program Offerings and Hours of Operation
There are program offerings and hour reductions that could be implemented to reduce the
Tukwila Pool operating budget. These are as follows:
9 Cut open swims in the evening open swims cannot be combined with anything other fee
generating programs because they use the entire pool $5,700.
9 Cut out Friday night lap swim. This allows the pool to close at 1 pm Currently there are
no lessons on Friday. $6,000.
Close the Pool on Saturdays. $11,000
Reduce 0.75 $45,000 or 1.0 FTE $73,000
6 Transfer the 0.75 FTE Project Coordinator to the P$R Administration Budget reducing the
Pool budget by $53,000 (as previously mentioned, this increased expense to the
Administration budget is offset by other program reductions previously recommended to
Council).

INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 6
The proposed service reduction impacts may upset some pool patrons. However, Staff believes
that patrons would be more accepting of fee increases than having the pool closed. Attachment
D outlines the current and proposed revised pool operating hours as described above.
Under this proposal the pool would be available for use 57.5 hours per week, a reduction of
approximately 20% compared to the current 72 hours per week. A range for the cost reduction
for this proposal is approximately $120,000 to $150,000 annually.
Option C Modify Fees to Increase Revenues
The pool fees could be modified to increase the revenues generated to pay for the operating
cost of the Tukwila Pool. The proposed fees could increase the revenues by approximately
$45,000. It may be too much of an impact to raise the fees to the proposed amounts at one
time. So, a graduated fee increase system would be recommended to reach the fee increase
goal. The new revenue is based on the current users' numbers being the same as in 2009. If the
higher fees make people not want to use the Tukwila Pool then revenue may not reach this new
amount and could possibly be reduced. A price break point has not been established and further
studies would need to be performed prior to implementing the proposed fee structure identified
in Attachment E.
Option D Combination of Options A. B and C
This Option represents a "best case scenario," from a financial standpoint, of continuing City
operation of the Tukwila Pool. It would have the following characteristics:
G Implement the most promising energy efficiency projects over a several year period (Cost:
$150,000 to $335,000. Annual Savings: $35,000 to $50,000).
O Implement the Pool Liner and Pool Filters replacement projects (Cost: $290,000 to
$325,000).
Reduce program offerings and hours of operation (Annual Savings: $120,000 to
$150,000).
Modify fees (Annual Revenue Increase: up to $45,000).
This best -case scenario would involve a one -time investment of approximately $440,000 to
$660,000. If we borrowed this money, the annual debt service would be approximately $35,000
to $55,000 per year. Net operating costs could be reduced by approximately $155,000 to
$200,000 per year, or $105,000 to $165,000 per year after debt service payments. Please
note this does not include lease payments to the Tukwila School District at this point.
These numbers may represent an optimistic view of continued City operation, and should the
City decide to pursue this option, staff proposes to prepare a much more detailed analysis prior
to a final decision.
Option E Transfer Operating Responsibilities to a Third Party
When King County divested itself of its community pools in 2002 -2003 a variety of
arrangements were made for their continuing operation. Some, like Tukwila Pool, were
transferred to cities; some to school districts. A few were transferred to private non profit
organizations. For example, Mercer Island's Mary Wayte Pool is owned and operated by
W:15teve16UDGETITukwila Pool Options 6 -21 -10 sjl.doc 6121/2010 12:51:32 PM
108
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 7
Northwest Center, a non profit social service organization. The City of Mercer island
contributes $100,000 annually to the operation of Mary Wayte Pool, with the remaining costs
borne by Northwest Center. Northwest Center also operated the Redmond Hartman pool
(leased from the City of Redmond) until June 18 of this year but reports it has not been able to
negotiate a favorable lease to continue this arrangement. The City could investigate the
potential for finding a third party operator for Tukwila Pool.
Alternatively the City could investigate assisting its residents to access alternative existing
facilities and services. For example, the City of SeaTac provides a level of support to its
residents allowing for decreased cost for City residents using the new YMCA facility on South
188 Street.
Option F Close Tukwila Pool Fall of 2011
Under this option the City would cease operating Tukwila Pool and vacate the premises to the
Tukwila School District no later than September 14, 2011.
RECOMMENDATION
Under the best case scenario for continued City operation of Tukwila Pool, the City will need to
continue subsidizing pool operations by at least $250,000 to $300,000 per year or more,
depending on negotiation of a new lease with the Tukwila School District and our success in
controlling future operating costs. Based upon the City's current financial situation and our
forecasts of future general fund expenses and revenue, continued operation of the Tukwila Pool
would necessitate significant reductions elsewhere within the City's operating budget, on top of
reductions already under consideration.
Tukwila Pool has provided outstanding and important services to the residents of Tukwila and
surrounding areas for over 35 years, first under King County operation and more recently under
City operation. The City can no longest afford to provide this service as it has since 2003.
With regret, we recommend that the City plan for the closure of Tukwila Pool no later than
September 2011. In the interim, staff will explore two options for providing some level of related
services to Tukwila Residents.
1. Seek out a partner willing and able to operate Tukwila Pool under a new lease with the
Tukwila School District.
2. Investigate options for providing Tukwila residents with access to alternative facilities at
an affordable cost.

TO: Tukwila City Council
FROM: Steve Lancaster, City Administrator
BY: Kimberly Matej, Legislative Analyst
CC: Mayor Haggerton
Shelley Kerlsake, City Attorney
Rick Still, Parks Recreation Director
DATE: July 1, 2010
SUBJECT: Ballot Measure Timeline
Attachment B
City of Tukwila
ISSUE
The Council has requested a timeline that identifies essential dates in the process of submitting a
ballot measure relative to generating revenue to support the Tukwila City Pool.
BACKGROUND
At the June 22, 2010, Budget Work Session, the Council acknowledged the need and expressed
support for Mayor Haggerton's recommendation to close the Tukwila City Pool no later than
September 2011. However, support of the closure was based on Council interest in seeking a public
vote on one of two potential revenue opportunities to independently support Pool operations. The
dates applicable to each election will remain the same regardless of the revenue mechanism the
Council chooses to put on the ballot.
In order to assist the Council in determining whether or not placing a ballot measure on an upcoming
election is viable, staff was asked to gather information relative to the process, including the
identification of deadlines and estimated expenses involved.
DISCUSSION
Depending on election type (primary, general or special), ballot measures must be filed with the King
County Office of Elections between 45 or 84 days before the scheduled election. Among the many
steps involved in preparing information for a vote on levying a general tax on property, prior to filing a
ballot measure, the jurisdiction must pass a resolution and present it to the King County Elections
Director. The additional steps involved in this process, as well as a timeline associated with each
election date, are outlined below.
Regardless of which election date is chosen the formation of a special interest/grass roots committee
is essential to a successful campaign. The Public Disclosure Commission applies the same
interpretation to the support/opposition of ballot measures as it does to support/opposition of
candidates running for public office. Therefore, there are strict regulations regarding the use of public
funds, facilities, agency resources, production and distribution of materials, etc. The City and /or its
employees cannot be an active participant in the support /opposition of any ballot measure. The City
may only provide factual information that may assist voters in making a decision.
Finally, in order for a Pool ballot measure to be considered by Council, the City must be notified of the
School District's intent to renew the current land lease, as well as the lease rate and duration.
Consideration of this notification has been implemented into the timelines.

RECOMMENDATION
As mentioned earlier, this information has been provided in order to assist the Council in determining
whether or not placing a ballot measure on an upcoming election is viable.
If the Council decides to move forward with a ballot measure staff recommends placing the issue on
the February 8, 2011, Special Election, as the average cost will be approximately $10,000 Tess than
the April 26, 2011, Special Election. Additionally, staff recommends the most appropriate revenue
choice for this issue is to levy a general tax on property, rather than implementing a levy lid lift.
Staff will await a formal Council decision prior to proceeding with this process.
