TO: City of Tukwila Jim Haggerton, Mayor INFORMATIONAL �������������R� xu�u ��o`�umu��u u��x����� u�u��omun��u���`o�����umu Mayor Haggerton Finance & Safety Committee FROM: David Cline, City Administrator DATE: September 24, 2014 SUBJECT: Bali Janik LLP Contract for Services ISSUE The current contract for federal representation and legislative services provided by Ball Janik, LLP for the City is set to expire on December 31, 2014. Staff is seeking Council approval to enter into a contract for services with Ball Janik, LLP which will be valid from January 1, 2015, through December 31, 2016. BACKGROUND The City has contracted with Ball Janik for federal representation and legislative services for a number of years. For each contract period, the City and Ball Janik have worked together to formulate a Scope of Work and Specific Services that outlines key projects and measures that may be worked on during the contract duration. In general, those services include: monitoring federal policy legislation; informing City officials of issues that may advance or hinder Tukwila goals; providing guidance and assistance to the City regarding opportunities to secure federal funding; providing City staff and elected leaders with advice and perspective regarding funding opportunities; and identifying key officials and contacts for City staff. As with the current C0ntngct, the draft contract provides these services at a monthly flat rate. The 2013-2014 monthly flat rate for Ball Janik was $6,000 and annual expenses of $3,600, not to exceed $75,600 per year. DISCUSSION The contract language remains the same as the current contract. The draft contract provides for a 2015-2016 flat monthly rate of $6,375, plus expenses not to exceed $3.500 annually (contract not to exceed $80'000 per year). The 2015-2016 flat rate reflects an approximate 6.5% increase from the 2013-2014 annual contract cost which is considered to be fair and reasonable. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends Committee approval of the attached draft contract to be forwarded to the October 20, 2014, Regular Meeting Consent Agenda for full Council approval.

CA Revised 1 -2013 Page 8 of 8 10 TO: City of Tukwila Jim Haggerton, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM Mayor Haggerton Finance and Safety Committee FROM: Peggy McCarthy, Finance Director BY: Laurie Anderson, Fiscal Specialist DATE: September 30, 2014 SUBJECT: Cancellation of Accounts Receivable ISSUE Each year a resolution comes before the Council for the cancellation of uncollectible accounts receivable. For 2014, these items include: False Alarms equaling $200.00, Miscellaneous Billings equaling $35,931.12 and NSF checks equaling $109.50 for a total amount of $36,240.62. BACKGROUND The process for tracking accounts receivable is quite thorough. The steps below are followed prior to preparation of the attached write-off resolution, • Invoice is sent to recipient by the Finance Department payable in 30 days. • If payment is not received within 30 days, the receivable is forwarded to our collection agency, Armada Corp., and placed in pre-collect status, •At this time, Armada sends a Delinquency Notice to debtor notifying them of the past-due status of the receivable and asks them to contact the City to make payment. Payments can still be made directly to the City while in pre-collect status. • Once 30 days have passed in pre-collect status, the receivable then rolls over to active collections. At the onset of active collections, a letter is sent to the debtor notifying them of status change and advising that all payments must now be made through the collection agency. • While in active collections status, the debtor is contacted both by phone and letter. A search is made for assets with which the debt could be satisfied. Once the debt has been in active collections for 45 days, it is then reported to the national credit bureaus. • The last process in the collections cycle is the pursuit of legal action. This includes attaching checking accounts, garnishments and lawsuits. • The City will not issue or renew a business license until all outstanding debt owed to the City is paid. • It should be noted that while a debt may be written off our books; it is still active in Armada's collections process. 11 12 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 DISCUSSION The proposed amount of the 2014 cancellation of Accounts Receivable of $36,240.62 is higher than last year's total of $29,644.47. This is attributable to three main factors: • One of the requested write-offs is for $8,188.10. The original amount of this invoice, which is for damages to a brick wall and masonry art at 14800 TIB, was $19,019.84. However, the party involved had a limited amount of insurance. In settlement, the City was paid $10,831.74 thus leaving $8,188.10 to be written off. We are unable to pursue this further as insurance has paid what was available. • Another of our requested write-offs is for an invoice for damages to a street light. It was damaged by a hit and run driver and, as such, we do not know whom to bill. The invoice total is $1,853.46. • The parties involved in five of the street department invoices being proposed for write-off had no insurance. One involved a vehicular homicide. The total of these invoices is $25,714.56. • The total of the receivables referenced above is $35,756.12 which is 98.6% of the write-off total. • At times, we do receive payment for receivables that have been written off. A street department invoice for $6,006.80 written off in 2013, was paid in 2014. Originally, this receivable was an Info Only/Hit and Run billing. However, unexpectedly, Geico Insurance contacted us and we were then able to secure payment to the City. • During the 2013 write-off process, a question was asked regarding how a party can contact the City about these receivables. The phone number for the Finance Department is on all invoices sent out. FINANCIAL IMPACT The financial impact of cancelling $36,240.62 will be to reduce our accounts receivable balance by this amount in keeping with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for the writing off of bad debt. Please note that while we are writing off the accounts receivable for accounting purposes, the accounts are still being actively worked for collection purposes with the exception of those accounts where we cannot identify the responsible party. Accounts covered by bankruptcy law cannot be pursued. RECOMMENDATION The Council is being asked to approve the annual resolution authorizing the cancellation of Accounts Receivable and to forward this item to the Consent Agenda of the October 20, 2014 Regular Meeting.

DATED this CITY OF TUKWILA day of .20l4 Jim Haggerton, Mayor ATTEST/AUTHENTICATED City Clerk ALLIANCE ONE RECEIVABLES, INC. Harry Neerenberg, CFO APPROVED AS TO FORM City Attorney 22 TO: City of Tukwila Jim Haggerton, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM Mayor Haggerton Finance & Safety Committee FROM: David Cline, City Administrator DATE: September 24, 2014 SUBJECT: Amending TMC Chapter 2.70 Public Defense ISSUE Amend TMC Chapter 2.70.050 Public Defense Standards to remove the statement that the City shall adopt and implement a case-weighting system on or before January 1, 2015. BACKGROUND In 2012 the Washington State Supreme Court adopted Standards for Indigent Defense and ordered that jurisdictions comply with these standards. One of these standards sets caseload limits. Misdemeanor caseload limits are effective beginning January 1, 2015 and all public defense attorneys assigned to represent indigent defendants on misdemeanor cases will be required to certify their caseloads to the court(s) in which they work. Jurisdictions have the option to adopt a case weighting system. A case weighting system assigns higher and lower time values or weighted credits to cases based on the amount of time that is typically required to provide effective representation. Each local government has discretion to decide whether to measure public defense caseloads by 300 weighted credits OR 400 non-weighted cases. In October, 2013, the City of Tukwila adopted Public Defense Standards as mandated by the Washington State Supreme Court. At that time we intended to adopt a case weighting system and TMC 2.70.050 Standard 3 states: On or before January 1, 2015, the City shall develop and implement a case weighting system as required by Washington State Supreme Court Order No. 25700-A-1023. DISCUSSION Adoption of a case weighting system is optional. In April, 2014 the Washington State Office of Public Defense issued a model misdemeanor case weighting policy to assist municipal jurisdictions interested in creating an optional public defense case weighting system consistent with the Supreme Court Standards for Indigent Defense. City staff utilized the model case weighting policy to analyze the City's public defense caseload. The results of the analysis indicated that the City's current public defense caseload requires three fulltime public defense attorneys under both the case weighting model (300 credits per attorney) and the non-weighted model (400 cases per attorney). As there is no impact to the staffing requirements and adopting a case weighting system would require significant administrative work, it was determined that there is not a benefit to the City to adopt a case weighting system. Additionally, Washington Cities Insurance Authority has notified municipalities that they do not recommend adoption of a case weighting system. Based on this information I am recommending that TMC 2.70.050 be amended to remove the requirement to develop and implement a case weighting system. 23 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 FINANCIAL IMPACT None.

P.S. Agreement ISSUE The current contract for public defender services provided by Kirshenbaum & Goss expires December 31, 2014. Attached is a proposed contrac for 2015-2016. BACKGROUND The City of Tukwila contracts for public defense services providing legal representation for indigent criminal defendants who qualify for appointment of counsel from the time of screening for eligibility through trial, sentencing and appeals to the superior court, if necessary. DISCUSSION Public Defense Standards were adopted by the Washington State Supreme Court in 2012 and are effective January 1,2O15. These standards delineate the number of cases each attorney can handle per year (including reduction of cases allowed based on the amount of time devoted to private practice) and mandates that compensation include administrative and training costs. In addition to the new Public Defense Standards the federal court decision, Wi/bur v. Mt. Vernon also mandates significant changes to public defense programs. Some of the requirement include: • Timely and meaningful communication: Attorneys must attempt to meet with their clients within 72 hours of being appointed; • Budget Allocations: In addition to the compensation paid for public defense services, funds must be specifically allocated for: o Investigative services; o Interpreter services for meetings with clients outside of court; and o Expert witnesses; • Case Management and Tracking: Attorneys must utilize a case management system that includes time and case load tracking abilities • Monitoring and Evaluation: Public defense programs must be monitored and evaluated on a regular basis. City Administration has taken several steps to ensure that our Public Defense Program is in compliance with these requirements. The City website has been updated to include comprehensive information about the Public Defense Program. A monitoring and evaluation policy has been adopted and implemented that requires: • Public Defense attorneys to submit monthly statistics reports; quarterly certification of compliance with the caseload standards; annual reports that include a caseload summary; complete a status survey each year; and provide proof of Continuing Legal Education (OLE) credits obtained for the calendar year; INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 • The City to, on an annual basis, survey program stakeholders for feedback about the public defense program and have an independent attorney evaluate the public defense program on a biennial basis. The 2O13-2014 flat rate for public defender services was $13,25J} per month (including $1,250 grant funds) and $1O0.00 per case for each case over 12O cases. |O order k] comply with the new public defense standards and Wilbur v. Mt. Vernon we are recommending increasing the flat rate to $32,600 per month and paying an additional $200 per day for Attorney of the Day services month, which occur no more than 5 days per month.

Page 0of0 TO: City of Tukwila Jim Haggerton, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM Mayor Haggerton Finance & Safety Committee FROM: David Cline, City Administrator DATE: September 24, 2014 SUBJECT: Kenyon Disend PLLC Agreement ISSUE The current contract for City Attorney services provided by Kenyon Disend expires December 31, 2014. Attached is a proposed contract for 2015-2016. BACKGROUND The City of Tukwila contracts for legal services summarized as follows: • General City Attorney services; • Prosecution services; • Litigation and contested administrative proceedings; • Paralegal services; and • "Special services" (services not otherwise specified). DISCUSSION Under the current and proposed contracts, general City Attorney services are provided at a flat monthly rate. Litigation, contested administrative proceedings and "special services" are subject to prior approval and are billed at the hourly rates of contractor staff involved. Contractor's hourly rates are attached to the proposed 2015-2016 contract. The 2013-2014 flat rate for City Attorney services for general City Attorney and Prosecution services was $37,105.00 per month. The 2015-2016 proposal increases the flat rate to $39,318 per month. This reflects an overall increase of approximately 6% to account for cost of living adjustments, modest increases in attorney billing rates, and an increase for prosecution services to bring the prosecutor's compensation more in line with that of other comparable jurisdictions. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that this contract be forwarded to the consent agenda of the October 20, 2014 Council Meeting for approval.

The purpose of this partnership is to provide quality after school programming in a safe and structured environment. The purpose of this agreement is to clarify and outline the intent, roles, responsibilities and communication in the delivery of afterschool programming at the three elementary schools for the school district years of September 2014 — June 2016. BACKGROUND The City has provided in-kind and financial support for after school programming since 2000. In 2009. the City entered into a contrac with Community Schools Collaboration (CSC) to provide afterschool programming at each of the five schools in Tukwila, covering the areas of academic enrichment, family support including education about community resources, and health services support including dental and vision services. The City has contributed $100,000 -$13O.O0O annually tosupport these activities. The existing contract with Community Schools Collaboration will expire December 31, 2014. Based on organizational and staffing changes at both CSC and the Schoo District and uncertainty regarding the finances needed to sustain the current program, the District decided to explore other options for providing these services. The District went through the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process and received proposals from the YMCA, Parks and Recreation, and CSC. A joint stakeholder committee made up of representatives from the School District and City reviewed the proposals and conducted interviews. This committee Iooked at a variety of factors — model, capacity, financial stability, leveraging existing resources, and cost, in order to make a recommendation. The committee recommended an integrated service model, where Parks and Recreation and the YMCA would collaborate to provide a comprehensive program. This p has previously been discussed at the foliowing meetings: • Community Affairs and Parks Committee Meeting August 12, 2014. • Regular City Council Meeting August 18, 2014. • Finance and Safety Committee Meeting August 19. 2014 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 DISCUSSION Under the integrated model, Parks and Recreation staff will provide enrichment activities, supervised study time and recreational activities and the YMCA will provide general and individual academic support, skill building and academic success programs. The School District will provide in-kind services to include bus transportation and facilities. In previous years, the Parks and Recreation staf have served 30-35 elementary students in the after school program at the Tukwila Community Center. The new model will serve up to 85 students at each of the three elementary schools five days per week. This proposal does not include after school programming at the middle school or high school. The existing contract with CSC goes through December 31, 2014 and CSC will use these funds to continue providing after school programming at the middle school and high school through the end of 2014. CSC has applied for grant funding to continue this programming next year, and is working closely with the District to identify new resources. If unable to secure the required funding, CSC may need to reduce programs or seek additional funding sources (which could include the City). BUDGET IMPACT The Human Services budget would not need to be changed. Starting iO2015 the $100,00 previously allocated in the Human Services annual budget for CSC will be redirected to the School District, The Parks and Recreation 2014 budget included approximately $45,000 in expenditures for after school programs that were provided at TCC. Those would be reallocated to this new model. As shown on Exhibit A, the total annual Parks and Recreation Department expenditures would increase to approximately $97,659. Thus, the 2015/2016 Parks and Recreation expenditure budget will need to be increased by approximately $51,759 per year. This is not a net increase in cost to the City, however, because the Parks and Recreation expenditures will be reimbursed by the District. In summary, of the $100,000 to CSC, $48,241 will be directed to the YMCA through the School District, and $51,759 will be directed to the Parks and Rec. Dept. FINANCIAL IMPACT There is no net financial impact to the City because the increased Parks and Recreation expenditures will be reimbursed by the District. If the Parks and Recreation revenues from student fees come in below budget, the City, District, and YMCA will mutually agree on service reductions to fall within budget. 50 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 3 RECOMMENDATION Staff is requesting that the Finance and Safety Committee forward the Interlocal Agreement to the October 13 Committee of the Whole meeting for discussion and to the Consent Agenda of the October 20, 2014 Regular Meeting.

DATE: September 10, 2014 SUBJECT: After School Program Brief In April 2014, Tukwila Parks and Recreation (P&R) supplied a proposal to the Tukwila School District (TSD) outlining an after school program model the Department could offer for all five school sites, with 100 kids per site (500 total served). The estimated cost for this proposal was $306,800. On July 17, 2014 TSD conducted a meeting with P&R staff regarding the proposal. The panel expressed their interest was to serve three elementary schools and a primary focus was providing academic support in addition to social, recreation, and wellness opportunities offered within an after school program. Targeted enrollment would be 65 students per school (195 total served). After the meeting, a verbal counter proposal offering P&R the opportunity to provide enrichment programs Monday and Friday, and the YMCA the opportunity to provide academic support on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday was a great starting point for an integrated proposal. Both P&R and the YMCA expressed their belief that a balanced after school program supports educational performance, health and wellness, social and cultural equity, and ultimately contributes to building individuals, families, and communities. The three organizations agreed that a partnership approach would be the best alternative to service Tukwila families and together are developing a program that will provide daily (M-F) enrichment and physical activity implemented by P&R Staff, and provide daily academic support implemented by YMCA staff. Implementation would begin October 6, 2014, which would allow for agreement approval processes by all the agencies involved. After School Program — Integrated Programming Model In the integrated model, 65 students from each school would be targeted for program participation based on the need for academic support services. Selected participants would receive an academic scholarship to participate in this program (no fee to participate). Additionally, children who currently pay to participate in afterschool programs at Tukwila Community Center would be integrated into each program site, thus having the opportunity to attend the same quality program in their neighborhood. These program participants would pay a monthly fee to participate, approximately $120 per month, with limited scholarships available to help offset costs (scholarship awards are based on verified financial need).
