PRESENTATIONS No presentations. II. BUSINESS AGENDA A. Ordinance: Prohibit Social Card Rooms (Reneal and Reenact TMC 5.20) Legislation was introduced seeking Council approval to repeal and reenact Tukwila Municipal Code Chapter 5.20 in order to prohibit social cards rooms that are conducted as a commercial stimulant within the City. Currently, TMC 5.20 allows for the legal non conforming use and operation of existing social cards rooms within the City of Tukwila; however, it also prohibits future card room uses. A business applicant has recently expressed concern over the City's ability to allow (grandfather) and prohibit such actions simultaneously. Currently, State law requires municipalities either allow or ban social card rooms. Based on further review of legal, political and financial issues as well as state law, which took place during a moratorium, it has been determined that it is in the best interest of the City to prohibit social card rooms after a finite period of time, during which social card rooms would be allowed. This ordinance is related to item B below, in that this first ordinance is the underlying legislation. Item B recommends that the underlying legislation (the ban) be repealed for a finite amount of time (three years), after which time the underlying ordinance goes back into effect. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JANUARY 24 COW FOR DISCUSSION. B. Ordinance: Allow Social Cards Rooms for a 3 -Year Period (Reveal and Allow with Sunset TMC 5.20) Additional legislation seeks Council approval to repeal Tukwila Municipal Code Chapter 5.20 (as discussed above) in order to allow the operation of social cards rooms, City -wide, subject to a sunset clause of three years. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JANUARY 24 COW FOR DISCUSSION. C.
