INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
Mayor Haggerton
Community Affairs and Parks Committee
FROM: Rachel Turpin, City Attorney
DATE: November 10, 2014
SUBJECT: Inter local Agreement between the City of Tukwila and the Tukwila Pool
Metropolitan Park District (TPMPD)
ISSUE
Staff requests Council input on and subsequent approval of an Inter local Agreement with the
TPMPD to outline the parties' continuing obligations after the City ceases providing support
services to the TPMPD.
BACKGROUND
Since its formation in 2011, the TPMPD has contracted with the City of Tukwila for support
services. In September 2014, the City provided the TPMPD with notice of its intent to terminate
the parties' interlocal agreement for support services effective December 31, 2014. The
purpose of this new Inter local Agreement is to address issues that may come up in 2015 and
beyond.
DISCUSSION
While most of the work needed to complete the City's transition out of providing support
services to the TPMPD can be accomplished prior to December 31, 2014, there are several
areas in which the City may need to continue supporting the TPMPD. The purpose of this new
interlocal agreement between the City and the TPMPD is to set forth and clarify the roles and
responsibilities of both parties for any work completed after termination of the parties' original
interlocal agreement for support services.
This Inter local Agreement addresses three primary areas: (1) management of TPMPD email
records that will continue to be held by the City; (2) financial work that will need to be done by
the City Finance Department in 2015, such as the 2014 End of Year Audit (EOY Audit) and
closure of the TPMPD's financial books for 2014; and (3) use of City policies, procedures,
template, and lessons programs by the TPMPD. An earlier version of the Interlocal Agreement
included a provision regarding transfer of property from the City to the TPMPD. However, this
asset transfer was already completed in July 2014 when the City formally transferred the pool to
the TPMPD. The Interlocal Agreement also addresses legal obligations, such as the TPMPD's
continuing obligation to indemnify and hold the City harmless for any subsequent violations of
the Public Records Act or any action that arises out of the TPMPD's continuing use of City
policies, procedures, or lessons programs.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is requesting that the City Council approve the Interlocal Agreement at the November 17,
2014 regular City Council meeting.
