2009 represented the most challenging year for meeting human service needs. Calls for services

Hotel /Motel Tax
2009 YEAR END SUMMARY:
Despite the global drop off in tourism and travel during the past year and repercussions affecting every
city within Seattle Southside signs of recovery and ongoing economic development abound throughout
Southside's regional tourism industry. New air service is inaugurated. New accommodations are opening.
New link light rail service strengthens the link between SeaTac/Tukwila and downtown Seattle.
Our annual tourism report card, compiled by Dean Runyan Research, Inc., shows visitors spent
approximately $615.1 million in 2008, supporting 5,350 tourism related jobs and $181 million in wages.
With an estimated 2.2 million hotel visitors annually, this report clearly demonstrates that tourism has long
been providing strong economic benefit to our cities. Tourism provides tax revenues cities wouldn't

otherwise see, making it one of the most important economic drivers. For every Southside household,
tourism provides $400 in taxes that residents don't have to pay. Although 2009 hotel occupancy rates are
down 9% and average daily rates are down an additional 9% resulting in a year to date 18% decline in
lodging tax revenues, Seattle Southside is weathering the down economy better than some other nearby
destinations.
Seattle Southside sales, marketing and communication team is working hard to influence the pace of
economic recovery throughout our region and to stimulate future business across many sectors of our
industry. This year, our team continues an aggressive schedule of rejuvenating the Seattle Southside
brand, creating new travel packages, constructing a new website, developing a new Vacation Planner
and relocating the Visitor Center to a more visible location near Sea -Tac Airport. As we plan for 2010, we
have reason to be optimistic and look forward to reporting more good news.
BUDGET GOALS:

Sister City Committee
2009 YEAR END SUMMARY:
We provided two successful fundraisers in 2009, including lunch at the Backyard Wildlife Fair in May and
breakfast and lunch at Tukwila Days in August. We hosted 27 visitors from Miyoshi in early November,
which included the traditional banquet, a day at the schools, and bowling followed by a City tour.
Committee make -up has changed somewhat in 2009 and we now have two members who are directly
affiliated with the schools which will increase our success in promoting our program as we plan for a
Tukwila delegation to travel to Miyoshi in late March /early April of 2010.
4th QUARTER SIGNIFICANT ISSUES:
Through the efforts of Wayne Smith, a committee member and teacher at Showalter Middle School, we
were able to find many student host homes for our November delegation, rather than relying on City
employees and other Tukwila citizens as we have had to in the past.
BUDGET PROGRAM GOALS:

efforts to clean up longstanding neighborhood issues. We look forward to assisting the city with many
upcoming issues in 2010.
4th QUARTER SIGNIFICANT ISSUES:
This quarter continued to be dominated by work on the Tukwila South Development Agreement and the
Shoreline Master Program Update. In addition, we have been working with code enforcement staff to

MUNICIPAL COURT
2009 YEAR END SUMMARY:
This year we saw a significant increase in the use of our Jail Alternatives Program. An important part of
that program is our in -house consumer awareness class. The 4 hour group class requires offenders to
self reflect, provides tools to improve decision making, and helps plan for a crime -free future. Since we
offer it in- house, it costs the defendant about a 1/3 of what he /she would pay elsewhere. This has
2009 Fourth Quarter Report
Prepared for Finance Safety Committee
Page 10
resulted in a dramatic decrease in jail time imposed for non compliance, and while we've only offered this
for the last year, we've tracked a remarkable drop in recidivism for class graduates. The year was also
consumed with flood /emergency preparedness. Our management team spent a great deal of time
meeting with local courts to coordinate services, expanding public communication /warning capabilities,
and preparing our mobile court kits. In the event of an emergency, our court could be fully functioning in
an off -site location within a few hours. We have prepared flyers concerning our alternate location and plan
to distribute them during the last week of December.
2009 (estimate) 2010 Prediction
Charges Filed 5700 5800
City Revenue Collected $365,500 $380,000.00
4th QUARTER SIGNIFICANT ISSUES:
This quarter we continued to emphasize training and succession planning. We are in the middle of our
desk duty rotation. This annual event of changing the primary duties of team members is designed to
ensure everyone is trained in all critical court functions. This is central to our succession planning efforts
so our future court leaders understand all aspects of our operation. During the last 2 weeks of the year,
the court spends a great deal of time training staff on and off -site. A couple of noteworthy training events:
we have scheduled cross staff training, a tour of the Washington State Supreme Court, and tours of
Thurston County Superior and District Courts.
BUDGET GOALS:
1. Continue to focus on Court's Succession Plan to include National, State and Local traininc,
opportunities. On- going. By the end of January 2010, every court employee will have received
the minimum NIMS (FEMA) training for emergency preparation. Our December training efforts
are mentioned above.
2. Restructure Court schedule to allow for specialized calendars (Diversion Interpreter. etc.). On-
going. While our focus is on flood contingency calendars, we are still working on implementing
specialized calendars in the spring.
3. Continue to retool and expand Jail Alternative Proaram. On- going. Working with Des Moines and
SeaTac in contracting these and other probation services.
4. Participate in oendina Union contract issues as they relate to court specific needs. Done.

2009 Fourth Quarter Report

FINANCE DEPARTMENT
2009 YEAR -END SUMMARY:
The department had many significant challenges to address during 2009. Turnover in critical positions
made it a challenge to complete the audit and Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) on time.
We were able to do so, though, and not only received a clean audit with no findings but for the first time in
years there were no comments at the exit conference with the State Auditor's Office.
Implementation of the Project Accounting module was a significant milestone in the Finance department.
For the first time in the City's history we are able to track expenditures at a level of detail that was
impossible before without the use of spreadsheets and other documentation outside of the accounting
system. Project Accounting eliminates the need for these other reconciliation procedures, and it also
gives us the ability to track revenues by project. The module has been in use for over six months for CIP
projects and various grants, and beginning January 2010 it is now being used to track expenditures for
Tukwila South.
Development of the accounting protocols called for in the Tukwila South development agreement has
been another significant project for the department. The exercise has changed the way we track certain
expenditures, and has led to changes in the way we set up and use the Project Accounting module. Much
work remains on the protocols, but we have also accomplished a lot already on this project.
Looking forward to 2010 we are expecting the challenges, turnover and other issues that have come up in
the recent past to subside and we are hoping to achieve and maintain a certain level of operating
efficiency. The Finance department has a number of new staff, but with the issues we have dealt with
over the last year and a half, we have gained considerable experience and knowledge and we look
forward to a more productive year to come.
4th QUARTER SIGNIFICANT ISSUES:
The Finance Department spent a great deal of time during the fourth quarter working on budget issues as
they relate to decreases in revenue. Information was gathered from each department for a mid- biennium
budget amendment that reduced the budget beyond the three percent already implemented. The three
percent reduction was also extended into 2010.
Considerable time was spent by staff participating in the Flood Response Planning (FRP) efforts. Staff
developed a Continuity of Operations plan under which we would prioritize tasks and complete only those
necessary for basic operations and provide assistance to operations in response to a flood. We also
developed contingency plans for operating payroll, accounts payable for vendor payments and selected
other areas without power or computers. The departmental FRP outlines the areas we will assist other
departments in completion of their goals for response, mitigation and recovery in the event of a flood.
Department staff also began during the fourth quarter a review of the City's overhead allocation plan. An
outside consultant was chosen for their professional expertise and objectivity. This effort was done at the
recommendation of the State Auditor's Office since it had been many years since we reviewed the
assumptions and allocations used in our overhead plan. This process generates over $2.3 million
annually for the General Fund by charging other funds for various items such as payroll, accounting,
Mayor's Office expenses, Council expenses, human resources, legal, etc.
During the fourth quarter we also brought to Council for their consideration and approval a utility tax on
the City run utilities. This includes the water, surface water and sewer utilities. The tax is at a six percent
rate and is assessed on the fund, rather than the customers themselves. The intent is to not pass this tax
along to the utility customers.
Other accomplishments during the quarter include:

FIRE DEPARTMENT
2009 YEAR END SUMMARY:
For all that has occurred in 2009, the year will be remembered because of two issues, flood planning and
budget. In September, I volunteered the department to take the lead in flood planning /preparation
efforts. As a result, a group consisting of representatives of all city departments met and worked to
successfully develop the City's Plan. The training on that plan will occur in the first quarter of 2010. In
terms of the budget, in order to meet our required reductions, I elected to reduce our established staffing
of 14, to 13 until the economic climate turns around; I also eliminated most optional or elective overtime
by replacing it with comp time or not approving it. The entire department was very cooperative and
understanding under the circumstances. Our year ended with 4818 responses including several
shootings, two body recoveries, a large fatality fire in SeaTac and a couple of large incidents in Renton;
we were fortunate not to have any large fires in Tukwila due in part to the efforts of our fire prevention
program. Fire prevention was busy with several high profile developments including Aviation High School
and the commuter rail station. They were also kept busy with several arson cases. We participated in the
usual Zone and county drills throughout the year as well as our own proactive, aggressive drill schedule.
4th QUARTER SIGNIFICANT ISSUES:
The fourth quarter of 2009 was quite consuming as we led the flood planning efforts for the city at Station
51. With participation from all city departments, the group completed a draft plan that should be finalized
during the first quarter of 2010. The training division was busy with hose and ladder manipulative drills,
flood water /hydraulics awareness drills, helicopter drills with the Coast Guard and Swift water rescue
classes for rescue team personnel in anticipation of possible flooding. Almost all department uniformed
personnel are now Ham certified as a result of a push in the fourth quarter. We also participated in the
annual King County Airport table top and developed a new lateral entry test for our civil service. Fire
prevention was busy with working closely with designers on the new Aviation High School, Bow Lake
Transfer Station improvements and the commuter rail station. They were instrumental in the completion of
the MCI Trailers designed for light rail incidents but can be used on any mass casualty incident.

DEPARTMENT OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
2009 YEAR END SUMMARY:
4th QUARTER SIGNIFICANT ISSUES:
Progress continued on many fronts in IT as we worked toward our 2009 year -end goals. As I know
was true for other departments, our participation in the flood response planning efforts reshaped
our daily routines and redefined our goals for the entire department.
We configured "mobile" data backups of servers to help make data readily available when needed
and VPN access through the Watchguard firewall to allow secure remote connectivity to our
network. COOP planning for server restoration, user access, and network /Internet redundancy
was also addressed. The technicians have started an image library of key critical service
locations around the city for restoration purposes.

POLICE DEPARTMENT
2009 YEAR END SUMMARY:
The year 2009 was filled with challenges such as budget cuts, emergency /event planning and the loss of
Police Officers in our surrounding communities. As always, our Tukwila Police Department stepped up to
the plate in order to provide the best service possible to our community. It is in times of trial that we see
the true depth of the Police Department and City.

The primary and unfortunate focus of the Police Department during the fourth quarter was the loss of
fellow police officers killed in the line of duty. The first officer (Timothy Brenton) was shot and killed on

Lakewood Police Department (Sergeant Mark Renninger, Officer Ronald Owens, Officer Tina Griswold,
