INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
Mayor Haggerton
Tukwila City Council
FROM: Jack Pace, Director
DATE: April 7, 2014
SUBJECT: Residential Neighborhood Maintenance Resources
ISSUE
Fast and efficient effort to improve neighborhood appearance.
BACKGROUND
Over the past several months at City Council and community meetings, Tukwila citizens
have expressed a desire to see increased actions from code enforcement actions in
residential areas of the City. Staff also met with residents who expressed concern
regarding the poor condition of a number of properties in their neighborhoods and asked
for increased code enforcement activity.
DISCUSSION
As a result of citizen and Council comments, staff initiated an action plan that will
address many of the residents' concerns regarding their neighborhoods this year. In the
short term, (the remainder of 2014) staff will take three major actions:
STREAMLINE CODE ENFORCEMENT PROCESS
• Authorize code enforcement officers to immediately issue Notices of Civil
Violation when property owners fail to comply with an initial correction
notice.
• Reduce case processing time by shortened compliance periods
(specifically for repeat offenders who have previously been notified of a
similar violation), and give the City the ability to enforce abatement of fire
and public safety hazards in a shorter time frame.
• Initiate enforced abatement actions to encourage property owners to
remove dilapidated structures in residential neighborhoods.
• Monitor and periodically report improvements in neighborhoods to City Council.
• Create an abatement triage team with Public Works, Fire and Finance
staff, to review and prioritize projects and to identify the responsible lead
department for various types of abatement the City currently performs.
ADD TEMPORARY STAFFING
• Contracting a .5 FTE code enforcement officer who also works half-time
for another city, which is common practice. This would ensure current
code enforcement complaint response and service demands are met.
• Temporary re-assignment of the FTE administrative support technician as
an acting code enforcement officer. By re-assignment existing staff, this
will reduce the time needed to provide additional staffing to Code
Enforcement. This change is to allow the City to concentrate the
additional officer's time and effort entirely on the residential nuisance
abatement backlog.
1
2
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
Hire a temporary full-time administrative support technician for code
enforcement support and case processing.
Revise the rental inspection program to reduce code enforcement staff
time spent providing rental inspections, by placing the habitability
inspection and certification responsibility in the hands of the rental
owners.
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
• This project will involve several divisions of City government, some City
funds, and community groups. Specific examples include staging a
community-wide "Spring Clean Up" project that would increase public
awareness of the need to keep private properties nuisance-free. The
effort would promote voluntary participation to clean up before summer
arrives with incentives such as access to large dumpsters in various
locations for the free dumping of yard waste and junk, and an opportunity
for free junk vehicle removal during the two-day neighborhood event.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Implementation cost of the Residential Neighborhood Maintenance program is $100,000
NEXT STEPS
• CAP meeting - April 29,2014 - Briefing on the status of implementation of this
program and site visits explaining how the code enforcement process works
• From this experience, staff will identify long-term program improvements and
prepare a proposal for the 2015/2016 budget.

Project Completion and Acceptance
ISSUE
Accept contract as complete and authorize release of retainage.
BACKGROUND
The Notice to Proceed for Contract No. 13-151 with Henderson Partners, LLC of Gig Harbor,
Washington was issued on October 1, 2013 for the 2013 Annual Small Drainage Project. This
project provided drainage improvements at four locations in Tukwila. The improvements included
storm pipe and structure replacements, temporary erosion control, asphalt paving, asphalt
thickened edge installation and site restoration.
ANALYSIS
Construction was physically completed on January 24, 2014. Only one (1) change order was
executed for a contract time extension due to an extended period of unusual sub-freezing
weather. Unit price under-runs were due to bid item quantities not fully utilized during
construction. Retainage is being held by the City for this project in the amount of $15,361.68. The
construction budget was $457,000.00 with a 15% contingency.

Finance & Safety Committee
FROM: Peggy McCarthy, Finance Director
BY: Vicky Carlsen, Deputy Finance Director
DATE: March 12, 2014
SUBJECT: Resolution declaring intent to reimburse the City from bond proceeds
ISSUE
Approve Resolution declaring intent to reimburse the City from bond proceeds for certain
original expenditures related to the Interurban Avenue South Project — Project No. 90310402
(Project).
BACKGROUND
The Project consists of design and construction of sidewalks, pavement restoration, drainage
and lighting in Interurban Avenue South (S 143rd St — Fort Dent Way). The Project combines
federal, state, local, bonds, and City funds for total project costs of $11,6 million. Final design
was completed in 2013 with construction scheduled to begin in 2014.
DISCUSSION
A resolution declaring intent to reimburse the City from proceeds of bonds is necessary because
the project is going to bid soon but bonds will not be sold until the fall of 2014. With this
resolution in place, the City will be able to be reimbursed certain costs incurred prior to when the
bonds are sold.
While the Resolution states that the declaration of intent is made no later than 60 days after
payment of original expenditure for the Project, the IRS does allow an exception for preliminary
expenditures. Preliminary expenditures that can be reimbursed include architectural,
engineering, surveying, soil testing, and similar costs incurred prior to commencement of
acquisition, construction, or rehabilitation of the project other than land acquisition, site
preparation, and similar costs incidental to commencement of construction. To date, the City
has expended funds on design work, land purchase, and staff time, Total cost incurred that can
be reimbursed is approximately $371K.
The City anticipates selling a maximum of $3.5 million in bonds in the fall of 2014.
RECOMMENDATION
Council is being asked to approve the resolution declaring intent to reimburse the City from
bond proceeds for the Interurban Avenue South Project and forward this item on the Consent
Agenda at the April 7, 2014 Regular Meeting.

City of Tukwila
Washington
Resolution No.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
TUKWILA, WASHINGTON, EXPRESSING OFFICIAL INTENT,
PURSUANT TO TREASURY REGULATION SECTION 1.150-2,
TO REIMBURSE THE CITY FROM THE PROCEEDS OF
BONDS FOR CERTAIN ORIGINAL EXPENDITURES PAID IN
CONNECTION WITH CERTAIN ARTERIAL STREET FUND
PROJECTS; AND DESIGNATING AN AUTHORIZED
REPRESENTATIVE TO MAKE DECLARATIONS OF OFFICIAL
INTENT ON BEHALF OF THE CITY.
WHEREAS, the City of Tukwila, Washington (the "City"), intends to make
expenditures for the Project (identified below) from funds that are available but that are
not, and are not reasonably expected to be, reserved, allocated on a long-term basis, or
otherwise set aside for those expenditures, and reasonably expects to be reimbursed
for those expenditures from proceeds of bonds or other obligations issued to finance
those expenditures; and
WHEREAS, it is the intent of the City to pay certain capital expenditures incident to
the acquisition and construction of the Project to be financed by the proceeds of the
bonds from other funds of the City pending the sale and delivery of the bonds and the
receipt of the proceeds thereof, and the City reasonably expects to reimburse the funds of
the City from the proceeds of such bonds;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA,
WASHINGTON, HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Description of Project for which Expenditures are to be made. This
declaration of intent is made no later than 60 days after payment of the original
expenditure for the Project. The Project is described as the Interurban Avenue South
Project—a design and construction of sidewalks, pavement restoration, drainage, and
lighting project at South 143rd Street and Fort Dent Way, Project No. 90310402—the
"Project").

Section 2. Maximum Principal Amount of Obligations Expected to be Issued
for the Project The City expects that the maximum principal amount of bonds that will
be issued to finance the Project will be three million five hundred thousand dollars
($3,500,000).
Section 3. Declaration Reasonable. The City Council has reviewed its existing and
reasonably foreseeable budgetary and financial circumstances and has determined that
the City reasonably expects to reimburse itself for expenditures for the Project from
proceeds of bonds because the City has no funds available that already are, or are
reasonably expected to be, reserved, allocated on a long-term basis, or otherwise set
aside by the City for those expenditures on the Project.
Section 4. Limitations on Uses of Reimbursement Amounts. For one year after
the allocation of proceeds, the City will not use amounts corresponding to proceeds
received from bonds issued in the future to reimburse the City for previously paid
expenditures for the Project in any manner that results in those amounts being treated as
replacement proceeds of any tax exempt bonds, i.e., as a result of being deposited in a
reserve fund, pledged fund, sinking fund or similar fund other than a bona fide debt
service fund that is expected to be used to pay principal of or interest on tax exempt
bonds. The City will not use said amounts in any manner that employs an abusive
arbitrage device to avoid arbitrage restrictions.
Section 5. Designation of Authorized Representative. The Finance Director is
hereby designated as the authorized representative of the City to declare in writing, in
such form as may be approved by the City Council, the official intent of the City to
reimburse original expenditures for the Project from proceeds of debt to be issued for
purposes of and in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.150-2.
Section 6. Implementation. The Finance Director is hereby authorized to
implement such administrative procedures as may be necessary to carry out the
directions of this legislation.

A. Strander Boulevard /Southwest 27th Street Extension Project Right -of -Way Dedication
Staff is seeking Council acceptance of the right -of -way dedication from Sound Transit for the
Strander Boulevard /Southwest 27th Street Extension Project. Sound Transit agreed to dedicate
all necessary rights -of -way on the north side of Strander Boulevard in between the Union Pacific
(UPRR)and BNSF railroads. This dedication provides for the future four lane roadway section
plus turn lanes (Phase III) under the UPRR to West Valley Highway and the current three lane
roadway project (Phase II) under construction by the City of Renton from Southwest 27th to the
south end of the new commuter station. This right -of -way dedication is valued at $226,548.00.
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO APRIL 7, 2014 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA.
B. Grant Applications
Staff is seeking Committee approval to submit various grant applications for federal and state
transportation funds.
Strander Boulevard Extension Project, Phase III. Staff is seeking approval to apply for a
$25,000,000 TIGER FY 2014 grant, due on April 28, and for $5,000,000 in Federal Highway
Administration funds overseen by Puget Sound Regional Council, due on April 8, 2014. The
Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board (FMSIB) has pledged $5,000,000, and it is expected
that other funding sources will be identified in the future as there is widespread regional support
for this project.
Committee members and staff had a lengthy discussion about funding for this project as shown
on the revised CIP page for 2015, which indicates an additional 1,529,000.00 from City
operating revenue, $779,000 of which is represented in 2015 -2016. Staff noted that these
figures do not factor in additional grant funding opportunities that may be forthcoming. The
Committee approved moving forward with the grant applications but asked to see more detailed
information regarding the value of the project that would justify the additional commitment of
City funds. In addition, the Committee requested a revised Attachment A that would
demonstrate where the additional City funds would come from, assuming no additional grant
funding becomes available.

authority (such as a county or city) charges a per room night fee on the furnishing of
lodging by either a hotel or motel. The funds collected are used to support tourism
promotion within the TPA boundary. State law requires that TPAs in King County comprise
at least two local governments; hence the need for an ILA with Des Moines and SeaTac.

new law goes into effect on July 1, 2014. The City Attorney's Office, in conjunction with

• Medical Marijuana —State status and City's action: In 2013, the City amended its
zoning code to allow recreational marijuana uses in the TVS and HI zones while
