INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
Mayor Haggerton
Finance and Safety Committee
FROM: Bob Giberson, Public Works Director
DATE: April 4, 2014
SUBJECT: Record Storage Lease Extension
Amendment No. 2 to Agreement No. 09-083
ISSUE
The Record Storage Facility lease agreement (No. 09-083) with the Sabey Corporation
(Sabey) expires on May 31, 2014.
BACKGROUND
In May 2009, the City of Tukwila entered into a 5-year lease agreement with Sabey for
6,392 rentable square feet of safe, secure and humidity controlled indoor storage of City
Clerk and Police Department records storage.
In December 2011, the City of Tukwila entered into Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No.
09-083, amending the base lease to revise the square footage based on separate
renovation of the building common space and a relocated restroom facility. Sabey has
offered the City of Tukwila a 1-year lease extension through May 31, 2015.
ANALYSIS
The increased rent for year 6 is reasonable based on the previous annual increases
built into the base lease. The 1-year lease extension is reasonable and prudent, based
on the status of the Facilities Plan. The location of a permanent city-owned records
storage location is unknown at this point in time. The City of Tukwila will have to
negotiate any addition lease terms beyond this new period ending May 31, 2015.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to formally approve this 1-year lease extension and authorize
the Mayor to sign the 1-year lease amendment and to consider this item on the Consent
agenda at the April 21, 2014 Regular Meeting.

Report from Administration
Acting Fire Chief Chris Flores
The second half of 2013 was marked by change, accomplishment, and challenge as
was the first half. The most significant and visible change was in department leadership.
We saluted the career and retirement of Fire Chief Nick Olivas. Nick served the greater
Tukwila Community for over 33 years. We wish him well in his post- retirement pursuits.
During his absence, many of our officers and firefighters have been given the
opportunity to serve in temporary promotional positions. Acting Assistant Chief Mike
Soss served in that position throughout the first and second half of 2013, and has
demonstrated an exceptional level of leadership and productivity.
Training is one of the most notable areas of positive change in the department. All
officers are being required to complete and maintain their incident command "Blue
Card" training and certification, and this level of training is now being offered to aspiring
officers. This form of incident command training is the most compliant with standards
and laws that our consortium has been able to identify. It increases fire ground safety,
and reduces risk and exposure for the department and city. Department officers are also
near completing all required NIMS (National Incident Management System) training.
Overall, feedback from our workforce continues to be extremely positive regarding our
participation in the South King County Training Consortium.
As reported in the first half of 2013, we continue our collaborative efforts with Finance
and Public Works, to develop not only long range replacement plans for wheeled
equipment, but for other capital equipment as well.
A cross - section of Department personnel formed a committee to work with BERK
Consulting to develop a Department Strategic Plan for the future. The majority of the
work was done during the second half of 2013, continuing into 2014. Finishing touches
on the plan are taking place at this time, with a complete document due in April, 2014.
We continue to pursue the goal of being an integral department in a High Performing
Organization. One visible means of this pursuit is through the utilization of more "micro
business" solutions. This is accomplished through internal and external collaborations.
We are making progress in the area of implementing TRAKiT. The vendor did not
become available to work with us on the implementation until the middle of the first
quarter of 2014. Additionally, as space becomes available in the 6300 Building, in the
latter portion of the first quarter of 2014 we will continue with the plan that was initiated
in the last half of 2013, which includes the Fire Prevention move to a larger space,
which is located in closer proximity to DCD and PW Permit processes and personnel.
2013 fire loss was held, very exceptionally, below $1,000,000.00. We can credit a great
deal of that loss reduction to aggressive fire prevention activities. This is an exceptional
level of service that is being provided to the Greater Tukwila Community, by an
2
11
exceptionally talented and caring team, in both the Fire Prevention Division, and by the
Company Level Inspection Teams.
Overtime continued to be an extreme challenge in the second half of 2013. There
continued to be higher than normal numbers of absences due to long term disability and
long term FMLA absences. Expenditures nearly doubled the budgeted amount for
Suppression Overtime. The department administration is actively engaged in identifying
alternative strategies for more efficient utilization of these funds.

A-Sifift
Temporary Battalion Chief Ken Reed
Staffing has been a challenge for A -Shift as well as the rest of the Tukwila Fire
Department with the retirement of Chief Nick Olivas. A -Shift has had several members
step up and do outstanding jobs in Temporary and Acting positions.
Mike McCoy: was assigned to Temporary Battalion Chief. He showed great leadership
and decision making. His experience was well received. Specifically, he was Incident
Commander on a meth lab operation that lasted many hours. He called for resources
early and appropriately. His decisions along with Firefighter Matt Hickey made for a
safe, professional and thorough operation.
Jim Brooks and Bill Rodal: were put into Temporary Captain Positions. Both are
seasoned veterans of the fire service and have leadership skills that transitioned
smoothly into the Captain positions.
Strategic Planning Committee: Four members of A shift participated in the
departments strategic planning Committee. They are as follows: Temporary Battalion
Chief Mike McCoy, Captain Richard Rees, Firefighter Matt Hickey and current
Temporary Battalion Chief Ken Reed.
Each member was assigned to a group either as a lead or to assist. There were several
topics that were identified to assist in making the Tukwila Fire Department an
organization that continues to provide a quality product for the Citizens of Tukwila. We
identified that in most areas we are already providing a service that is professional,
compassionate and provides for the safety of our members and citizens. Below are
some of the highlights that "A" shift is working on either as identified in the committee or
ongoing.
Captain Richard Rees: Managed several portions of the Valley Mobil Com dispatch to
include updating and verifying the street maps and managing the Pre -Fire transfer.
Captain Rees also developed the department's new Technology Committee which will
work with the Administration and the IT department to bring new industry specific
technology into our department and find better ways to use our existing technology.
Firefighter Patrick Smith: Worked with "B" Shift's Patrick O'Brien to update the
Southcenter Mall Pre -Fire and uploaded the revisions to Valley Comm.
A -53:
Completed JATC Modulel Training for PFF Koch.
Firefighter Matt Hickey: Purchased and installed 2 ham radio repeaters. Matt also
trained fire department personnel in getting their ham radio licenses. The department is
now 99% ham radio trained.

13
Matt wrote the radio plan for Operation Dirty Boulevard.
Matt purchased new APX 6000 portable radios and strategically placed them in the fire
apparatus. The radios have Bluetooth earpieces and noise cancelling microphones.
With communication on the fire ground always an issue, this feature will enhance the
safety of our members.
Matt wrote a FEMA grant requesting $411,000 for new radios. All fire department
radios are 15 years old and will be replaced. He will create a radio cache with our
current radios for Zone 3 and can be used by either Fire or Police.
Captain Loren McFarland and Firefighter Rodal: Oversee and perform the ongoing
projects of SCBA maintenance, Nozzle repair and SCBA fit testing.
Il11-Shlift
Battalion Chief Marty Roberts
The months of July through December were a successful and challenging six months
for the members of B Shift. We had a fantastic summer that allowed us to be very
productive in our training, which led to us delivering a high level of service to our
customers. In the fall months we were equally successful in completing our training and
continued to deliver a high level of service.
As was the case in the first half of 2013, we were not at full staffing of eighteen
personnel at any point during the second half of 2013. Our staffing was affected by a
number of issues, most predominately and unfortunately, it was due to injuries.
Regardless of the number of people that were off, we strived and worked together to
meet the standard of our Mission Statement:
Our Mission is to Deliver Professional Services to the Greater Tukwila Community and
Provide a Safe Working Environment for our Personnel
Safety * Commitment * Excellence
For our required training in the 3rd Quarter, we averaged a completion rate of 98.24% of
our required training.
For our required training in the 4th Quarter, we attained a completion rate of 100% of
our required training.
Another challenging aspect of this time period was the addition of Probationary Fire
Fighter (PFF) Jeff Hartjoy to our shift! I do not mean that in any way to reflect negatively
on PFF Hartjoy. The training program for new firefighters has changed significantly in
the last two years. With our membership in the South King County Fire Training
5
14
Consortium and the combined efforts of the member departments training divisions, the
job requirements and training for new firefighters is much more involved than it has
been in the past (hence the challenge). These additional training requirements are not
the sole responsibility of the PFF. The crew that the PFF is assigned to has a significant
increase to their workload to assist the PFF in completing his assignments.
PFF Hartjoy has done an excellent job in completing his required drills and written
examinations. His first station assignment was B53 with Capt. Ken Beckman, FF Aaron
Johnson and FF Pat O'Brien. All three of the crewmembers provided knowledge, skill
and experience in assisting PFF Hartjoy in completing his assignments.
PFF Hartjoy moved to B52 to begin working on his second quarter assignments. As of
today he is well ahead of schedule in completing his assignments and is currently
working with Capt. Pete Wojcik and FF Toby Popejoy.
We did not have any large or significant dollar loss fires or incidents during this period.
C- Shifff
Battalion Chief Lavern Peterson
Staffing: Our total shift complement was down by two. One Captain was on extended
sick leave after surgery for an on the job injury. One FF was out on maternity leave.
Probationary FF Fink: Continues his training rotation and now has worked at Station
53 and 52. He has received excellent reviews by his Captain's and has become a great
addition of our shift /department.
Capt. Morales: Assisted three different departments (City of Vancouver, Spokane and
Clark County Fire District 13) as a member of the honor guard to help arrange services
for deaths within their department.
Capt. Konieczka: Has continued his leadership on two Zone 3 (HazMat and Ladder)
committees.
BC Peterson: Continued his work on MobileCom (our new dispatch system) for
implementation in early 2014.
Strategic Planning Committee: Three members of our shift have and continue to
participate in our department strategic planning process.
Blue Card Training: As classes are offered, our Acting Captains have become
certified.
C -52: Completed JATC Module 2 Training for FF Fink.

Firefighter Matt Hickey
• Purchased and installed 2 ham radio repeaters, mobile radios and 4 portables in
all apparatus and trained fire department personnel to get their ham license.
Currently we are 99% ham radio licensed fire department.
• Installed a CEMNET radio in the Tukwila EOC to allow them to talk to the State
EOC.
• Purchased all the radios, coax, antennas, and lightning arrestors for 6
Department Operations Centers.
• Wrote the radio plan for Operation Dirty Boulevard. This plan had 13 radio
channels and one made on the fly. The link with the federal agents failed 15
minutes before the planned event. I called the FEMA MERS Unit in Bothell and
had the link working 5 minutes before the bust. Also wrote the telephone plan for
this incident. Numerous communications failures happened in the EM -50 but I
was able to repair them or do a work - around.
• Assisted Day Wireless to re- program and install over 160 radios. Just before the
job was completed I found a mistake in the radio template that would have
affected firefighter safety. I had King County Radio re -write the template and
install the templates at no cost to us. I trained all fire department personnel on
the use of all the new radios and templates.
• Purchased 8 new APX 6000 portable radios and strategically placed them in the
fire apparatus. These radios have Bluetooth earpieces and noise canceling
microphones. If you run a chainsaw next to the radio and talk the receiver will not
hear the saw, only the voice.

• Wrote the radio plan for Tukwila Police for Black Friday.
• I have chaired the ZONE 3 OPS Chiefs radio template committee and we have
come up with a great radio template. Also, I received template permission MOU's
from Seattle Fire, Port of Seattle, and NORCOM (Eastside) to be able to install
and use their templates in our radios. Along with this committee I am attending
the TRIS committee which an oversight committee for King, Pierce, and
Snohomish county radio systems.
• Wrote a FEMA grant for $411,000 for new radios. I will replace all fire department
radios that are 15 years old. Take the newer radios currently in our possession
and create a Fire Zone 3 radio cache. This cache will have radios that can be
used by either police or fire. There will also be a COML (Communications Unit
Leader) sent with the cache.
• Helped with the purchase and install of the 4 new radio work stations in EM -50.
Assisted the shops in troubleshooting the system.
• Maintained quarterly radio battery charging of 150 radio batteries in the EOC.
• I am the Fire Department Liaison for the Tukwila Emergency Communications
Team and throughout the last year have assisted them in Field Day, Training,
radio maintenance, antenna installations, and weekly radio nets. This team has
logged thousands of volunteer hours.
• Assisted EOC with the purchase of 20 new CERT radios.
• Inventoried all communications caches and fire department radios.
• Advised BC Roberts as to when to purchase new lithium ion batteries for fire
apparatus.
• Assisted the IT department on obtaining satellite service for the EM -50.
• Tested and maintained the EM -50 portable satellite phone on a quarterly basis.
• Created the radio plan for the new Tiburon system switchover in March.

Training
Training Officers Captain Hayman & Captain Johnson (October 1- November 15, 2013)
and Firefighter Dawn Judkins (November 18- December 31, 2013)
Both Training Officers participated in the last five Live Fire training exercises at North
Bend for 2013. Each was an all -day event involving apparatus from all of the
participating Consortium Departments: Kent, Sea Tac, Tukwila, North Highline, Burien,
and Maple Valley.
Captain Hayman spent much of the third and fourth quarter planning with King County
Airport for an MCI drill. This drill involved a simulated passenger airline crash with
multiple live and non -live patients on the runway. The actual drill was done five
consecutive days in October, twice each day. Consortium departments participated
along with King County Crash Trucks, Boeing Crash Trucks, King County Paramedics,
and AMR ambulances.
Both Captains participated in the 2014 Planning Meeting with all Consortium Training
Officers and our newest members from Renton Fire Department. This all -day event
charted nearly all of our training goals for 2014.
Captain Hayman assisted in planning for the 2014 promotional tests to be delivered
early in 2014. He worked closely with Captain Pat O'Hern from Kent Fire on this
project.
Captain Hayman attended training to be one of the Tiberon (MobileCom) trainers for the
classes in early 2014.
Captain Johnson worked on the JATC Mod three for our new firefighters. A great deal
of time went into researching the material and making it Tukwila specific.
Captain Johnson and FF Dawn Judkins together did 100 DPR /Defib downloads and
nearly that many reviews during fourth quarter. This includes events from all of the
Consortium departments.
Captain Johnson and FF Dawn Judkins catalogued training evaluations and tabulated
statistics for the various classes given by the Training Consortium.
Captain Johnson, Captain Woelber of Kent Fire, and MSO Don Cloyd from King County
Medics developed a first aid program for King County Sheriffs' department. Titled "In-
Field First Aid ", the program is designed to allow Sheriffs to render basic aid to people
victimized by acts of violence. This was found to be a need as Fire and Medics are
often required to stage until the scene is secure. The training is to help the Sheriffs

IIIIrmvestigatiorms
The division investigated six fires in the last half of the year. One commercial fire
occurred at Jorgenson Forge in the hydraulic pit where the fire originated when hot
metal dropped down and ignited oil residue in the pit area that was quickly contained by
the fire sprinkler system. The remaining breakdown was four vehicle fires, four kitchen
fires, one residential fire. One of the four kitchen fires resulted in smoke inhalation
injuries to the occupants that attempted to extinguish the fire and required medical
treatment at the hospital. The fire loss for the last half of 2013 is $228,650.
