Marissa Kaiser, Early Learning Manager, Bezos Family Foundation. Ms. Kaiser explained that Vroom was created to share information with families supporting the opinion that parent-child interaction is very important for their child's learning. She utilized a PowerPoint presentation to update the Council on the Vroom Program, highlights of the presentation included: Tukwila City Council Committe of the Whole Minutes May 27, 2014 Page 3 of 10 What is Vroom? Children are born with tremendous potential. Advances in neuroscience confirm what many of us have long known: the first five years are critically important to every child's future learning and success. Every time we connect with young chi|dren, it's not just their eyes that light up - it's their brains. In these moments, half million neurons fire at once, taking in all the things we say and do. Inspired by this compelling research, the Bezos Family Foundation is working with a panel of scientific experts to create Vroom, a new initiative empowering parents and caregivers to play a proactive role in their children's early brain development. Vroom transforms everyday moments into dynamic "serve and return" interactions between caregiver and child to build children's brains Now, through strong partnerships with community-based organizations, the Bezos Family Foundation is excited to be Iaunching the Vroom pilot program in Southwest King County. The pilot program aims to bring Vroom to all porents, including those low-income families who need it most and often have the least access to resources and support. No matter their background or socio-economic status, all parents want to be good parents. Vroonn will make it easy for any parent to have a positive impact on their child's brain development through the course of daily activities including meal time, bath time or anytime in between. Vroom is about creating brain-building moments. The good news is the time you have is all you need to be a brain-builder. These and other tips can be found at: vmxwv.ininvnoom.org. The 5 Brain Building Basics include: 1. Look: Make eye contact so you and your child are looking at each other. 2. Chat: Talk about the things you oee, hear and do together, explaining what's happening around you. 3. Follow: Take your child's lead by responding to their sounds and actions, even before they are oid enough to taik, When they do start talking, ask follow up questions like What do you think...?" or Why did you like that?" 4. Stretch: Make each moment ionger by building upon what your child does and says. 5. Take Turns: With aounde, wnrda, faces and antions, go back and forth to create a conversation or a game. The Vroom Iaunch was a family celebration at Foster High h School on March 29, 2014. She said there were approximateiy 600 attendees. Since the Vroom launch, 33 organizations have volunteered to promote the Vroom program to the South King County community, and the Tukwila Parks and Recreation Department is aiso partner. Along with the partner organizations, they have asked 150 local businesses to display Vroom program information; they have King County Metro Bus murals; and program information has been overlaid on tables at Westfield Southcenter Mall in English and Spanish. Ms. Kaiser stated Vroom is not a campaign, rather it is a movement. The work done with the community- baaed partners in Southwest King County will help inform future pilot programs in other cities and prepare for a national launch of Vroom. This pilot program is in the startup phase and the Bezos Family Foundation has committed to continued support of early childhood education. The Councilmembers exchanged comments and thanked Ms. Kaiser for her presentation and the program information. CITIZEN COMMENTS There were no citizen comments. PUBLIC HEARING An ordinance relating to development agreements authorized pursuant to Chapter 18.86 of the Tukwila Municipal Code; approving and authorizing the Third Amendment to the Tukwila South Development Agreement with Sega le Properties, LLC, a Washington limited liability company. 7:52 p.m. Council President Quinn opened the public hearing. Tukwila City Council Committee ofthe Whole Minutes May 27, 2014 Page 4 of 10 David Cline, City Administrator, explained the two items before the Council for consideration were first discussed at the May 19, 2014 Regular Meeting. The draft ordinance would approve the third amendment to the Development Agreement. The proposed amendment is a bargetad, narrow amendment to the original Development Agreement that was signed in 2009. It would replace the accounting protocols and the (pedestrian) bridge down payment. The amendment also includes an agreement for prepayment of fire impact fees (Fire Facilities Agreement) over a 15-year term regardless of the level of development. The agreement states that Segale Properties will pay the City a non- rehundab|eheeof$175miUion.and$3miUioncreditoforfireimpactsoverthe15'yearterm. Additional fire impact fees would be collected if more development occurs. The accounting protocols were included in the original agreement as insurance to the City because at the time of negotiation, it was not known what type of development was planned for the area. Mr, Cline utilized a PowerPoint presentation which included an overview of the following: 1. Draft ordinance — Third amendment to the Development Agreement: • Targeted, narrow change to original Development Agreement signed in June 2009 that replaces the accounting protocols and bridge down payment with a fire facilities agreement, 2. Fire Facilities Agreement: • Secures minimum payments over 15 years regardless of level of development. • Additional fees will be collected if more development occurs. • $3 million in credits for fire impact fees and $1.75 million in non-refundable payments Accounting Protocols: Created in 2009 due to uncertainty about future development. • An "Insurance Po|iny" if development revenues (Sales Tax, RGRL, Ud|ity, other) did not cover additional expenses (mainly staffing for fire and police) • Section 4.8 of original agreement set up a mutually agreed upon process to create protocols and track on an annual basis • If no agreement, then whole development agreement would terminate • Revisited in 2013-14 • No development in first 5 years of 15 year agreement Fill will take 1-3 more years before ready for development New City revenues added since 2009 to include the Revenue Generating Regulatory License (RGRL) • New City expenditure assumptions — gradual increase in staffing • Options available include: • Agree on Accountinq Protocols • Difficult to track revenues and expenses • Need to have mutual agreement • Terminate • FuJI agreement had many negotiated points for both City and Segale • Amend Accounting Protocols Narrowly amend a few sections of the agreement • Provide certainty for both City and Segale • Provide City with secure payments for bonding for a new fire station Third Amendment to the Development Aqreement: • Repeals four specific sections of original Development Agreement: • 4.8.1: Operations and Maintenance Services (O&M) • 4.8.3: Project Revenue/City Expenditures - Protocols • 4.8.4.1: O&M Collateral • 4.5.2: Green River Pedestrian Bridge • Releases Lines of Credit and Deed of Trust • Replaces with Fire Services Agreement • Amends Section 8 - amendments must be provided to the City Council one week prior to execution by Mayor Tukwila City Council Committee ofthe Whole Minutes May 27, 2014 Page 5 of 10 Fire Facilities Agreement • Guaranteedpaymentsohedu|e(seepageY0oftheagmndoparket) Fire impact fees will be collected per Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) 16.26 • $3 million in refundable fire mpact fees • $1.75 million, non-refundable • Payments to be secured by deed of trust Conclusion: • Draft ordinance — Third amendment to the Development Agreement: • Maintains existing Development Agreement except for accounting protocols • Provides financial assurances for bonding of future fire station Fire Facilities Agreement: • Secures minimum payments over 15 years • $4 million of bonding for future fire station • Provides $1 .75 M of non-refundable payments Council President Quinn called for public hearing comments. Joan Hernandez, 15224 Sunwood Blvd., stated she is speaking in support of the proposed amendment and fire facilities agreement and payment schedule. She explained during her term as a Councilmember, she recalls the many years that it took to negotiate the original Tukwila South Development Agreement. Since signing the agreement, the City of Tukwila has added the additional 250 acres into the City limits, the Southcenter Parkway extension and the replacement of South 178th Street. The Developer has donated three acres of property for the future new fire station. Based on the outcomes of the original Development Agreement, she feels the City has evidence and insurance that future development will take place with the same thoughtful planning and quality improvement and future benefits to the City. She commended the Council for their due diligence relating to the issues. Under the proposed agreement, the revenue generated will cover the costs associated with the bonding needed for the new fire station. She feels allowing the Development Agreement to terminate after all these years would not be in the best interest of the City. She encouraged the Council to support the proposed amendment and fire facilities agreement. Mark Segale, Segale Properties, P.O. Box 88028, explained that development of the accounting protocols- how to track revenues and expenditures-have been an issue. There has been agreement that all parties have come too far on the Development Agreement to let it expire. Segale Properties, along with the City Administration, has worked to create a so|ution, and they are requesting the Council's support on the proposed agreements. Both parties realized that solving the accounting protocols issue would also solve the City's problem associated with the new fire station. They recently donated land to the City for the proposed new fire station, and it was determined that by replacing the O&M (Operations and Maintenance) obligation in the Development Agreement with the fire facilities ogreement, they are able to guarantee revenue for the construction of the new fire station. At the same time, this solution provides Segale with certainty as to their future obligations. He feels the draft ordinance proves that working together to solve a problem can create a mutually beneficial solution. 8:06 p.m. Council President Quinn closed the public hearing. SPECIAL ISSUES a. Tukwila South: (1) An ordinance relating to development agreements authorized pursuant to Chapter 18.86 of the Tukwila Municipal Code; approving and authorizing the Third Amendment to the Tukwila South Development Agreement with Segale Properties, LLC, a Washington limited liability company. (2) A fire facilities agreement. After several months of negotiation, the parties have reached a tentative agreement. Under this proposal, Segale will pay the City a total of $475 million over a 15 year period. $3 million of the overall $4.75 million will consist of prepayment of fire impact fees, which will be refundable as actual fire impact fees are collected by the City at the time of development. The remaining $1 .75 million is a nonrefundable Tukwila City Councii Committee of the Whole Minutes May 27, 2014 Page 6 of 10 mitigation payment. In exchange for these payments, the requirement for accounting protocols and Sega le's O&M guonantee, as well as Sega le's obligation to provide $500.000 towards construction of a pedestrian bridge, will be eliminated from the Development Agreement (DA), This approach accomplishes several things: it gives everyone certainty; it aliows for money to come to the City on an agreed upon schedule which will provide payments for bonds that will be issued to build the new fire station in Tukwila South when it is warranted; and it frees up funds for O&M coverage, should it be needed. This obligation will be secured by a deed of trust, The Third Amendment to the Tukwila South DA was revised after the May 19, 2014 Regular Meeting to correct several typos and to add language requiring the Mayor to notify the City Council prior to executing any minor amendments to the Tukwila South DA. Both items are currently scheduled for final action at the June 2, 2014 Regular Meeting. Councilmember Robertson asked if any progress was made on negotiating changes he had previously Rachel Turpin, Assistant City Attorney, stated that she provided Councilmember Robertson's suggested changes to Segale Properties, and she was not able to negotiate a more favorable outcome for the City. The Councilmembers exchanged comments and asked clarifying questions of staff on the draft agreements. Mr. Cline stated many years ago the work on the Development Agreement began with Shelley Kerslake, City Attorney, and he wanted to acknowledge her work on this p jec. Councilmember Ekberg stated the fire facilities agreement lists a 15-year term, and the payments do not start until 2017. He asked if the agreement begins now or when Segale would begin paying the fire impact fees. Ms. Turpin explained the agreement is for 15 years, and it would begin now. However, the agreement would remain in effect during development. She clarified that the City would still receive the prepayment of $3 million up front. Mr. Cline commented that during development, a developer would typically pay the impac fees at the end of a project. What is being proposed in this situation with Segale Properties is they would pay the impact fees upfront, rather than at the end of the development. The key item to note is they may pay more than $3 million in impact fees, depending on the amount of development. Ms. Turpin stated she just spoke with Segale's othzrney, and the intent of the agreement is to remain in effect, and she will correct the wording in the agreement for the next meeting. COUNCIL CONSENSUS EXISTED TO FORWARD THESE ITEMS, WITH THE MODIFICATION TO THE FIRE FACILITIES AGREEMENT, TO THE NEXT REGULAR MEETING. b. An ordinance establishing sewer connection fees for the Tukwila South area. Councilmember Kruller indicated this item was discussed at the Utilities Committee meeting on May 19.2O14. The committee members were unanimous in recommending approval. The draf ordinance will establish the sewer connection fees for parcels and plats as part of the Southcenter Parkway Extension sewer improvement in the Tukwila South area. The sewer connection fees are based on the square footage of the building parcels being developed and will be collected when building permits are issued. The total sewer construction was $2.525.570 of which 73% was funded by grants, leaving a balance of $694 504.14. The balance will be collected from the sewer connection fees as building permits are issued. Tukwila City Councii Committee ofthe Whole Minutes May 27, 2014 Page 7of0 Bob Giberson, Public Works Director, said the Utilities Committee requested that staff discuss options for inclusion of a fee escalator tied to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the sewer connection fees. He referenced pages 35-36 of the agenda packet with the proposed Ianguage. The Councilmembers exchanged comments and asked clarifying questions of staff on the draft ordinance to include: Concern relating to language in the draft ordinance stating the sewer connec ion fees would provide repayment to the General Fund, rather than the fund in which the monies were originally taken from; Support for inclusion of language for an escalator to be included in the ordinance; and Moving forward with the draft ordinance as written and having the Council discuss inclusion of an escalator in fees in the future. Peggy McCarthy, Finance Director, stated there were many funding sources on the Southcenter Parkway Extension P ject, and the funds should have been paid from the Sewer Fund. She would need to review the accounting on the p ject to provide verification. After Council discussion there was consensus to keep the draft ordinance as written. COUNCIL CONSENSUS EXISTED TO FORWARD THIS ITEM TO THE NEXT REGULAR MEETING. c. A bid award for the East Marginal Way South Storm Pipe Replacement Project. Councilmember Kruller indicated this item was discussed at the Utilities Committee meeting on May 19. 2014. The committee members were unanimous in recommending approval. The East Marginal Way South Storm Pipe Replacement Project was advertised for bids on April 29 and May 6, 2014. Five bids were opened Vn May 13.2O14 with the low bid of$2.O58.782.3O from James VV. Fowler Co. James W. Fowler has successfully worked for other governmental agencies. The 412 Surface Water Fund's ending fund balance will be utilized so that $175,000 can be used as part of the 10% contingency. The Council is being asked to award the bid to James W. Fowler Co. in the amount of $2.058.782.30. Mr. Giberson explained the City will need agreements with Valley View Sewer District and Water District 125 as part of this p ject for expenses associated with the relocation of those utilities. This is a very important pr jeotondhasavery|imitadtimeschedu|eduetothefishvvindowesaooiotedvviththe Riverton Creek. The Councilmembers exchanged comments and asked clarifying questions of staff on the above item. COUNCIL CONSENSUS EXISTED TO FORWARD THIS ITEM TO THE NEXT REGULAR MEETING. d. Collective bargaining agreements (3) for Teamsters Local No. 763 for the period 2014 — 2016. Stephanie Brown, Human Resources Director, explained the City negotiation team and Teamsters Local Union No. 763 opened labor negotiations on January 7, 2014, in an effort to reach an agreement on a successor labor contract. A tentative agreement was reached between the parties on April 17, 2014, which resulted in a three year contract (2014-2016). In ali nmontwhhCounci|initietivesondbudgetconok1erationsinfutureyeors.theChxandUnion negotiated the successor agreement based upon mutual interest. Some of the negotiated changes were: an expanded management rights clause; a positive change in the layoff language adapted from a letter of intent signed by the parties in 2011; addition of a voluntary benefit for the members to participate in the Teamsters' Pension Welfare Trust; an opener clause that provides for the parties to meet in the event healthcare reform legislation mandates changes that have unanticipated impacts on the parties; and acknowledgement that the terms of the agreement as it relates to Municipal Court employees shall be subject to General Rule 29.
