Discussion: Finance Director Alan Doerschel explained the reasoning behind this proposed
ordinance. Two things have recently happened to necessitate this proposed ordinance. The State
Utilities infrastructure is counted by Washington State; then reviewed and divided between
Counties and Cities. There was a 10% growth of valuation of all utilities in the State; resulting
in a net result of approximately $57,000.00, to the City of Tukwila.
Secondly, a .50 cent levy on the King County Library District has been in effect for the past five
years; and they have now reached the 6% limit. The levy dropped from .50 to .482 cents,
resulting in another .02155; with the difference benefiting Tukwila (approximately $40,000.00).
Net results from both sources equal approximately $97,000.00 revenue; allowing the City to
retrieve monies lost in past years (mid `90s).
