MOVED BY MCKENNA, SECONDED BY HARRIS, THAT RESOLUTION NUMBER 1047 BE ADOPTED AS READ. Council President Morgan expressed concern that the contract does not point out specific products to be produced by the Chamber for use by the City and the Chamber in promoting the City. Council has not made clear the difference between the planning area of the City and the corporate boundaries of the City. The City is restricted by State law to expend funds on behalf of the citizens of Tukwila within the Corporate boundaries. This contract does not make that clear. She has problems with the following: TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING July 20, 1987 Page 3 NEW BUSINESS (cont'd) 97 1. The contract departs from the earlier product- oriented proposal. 2. It is not quantifiable nor measurable in terms of the City's accountability to the taxpayers. 3. It is not clear what area it covers. 4. The kind of products suggested are ones that are indi- genous to Chambers not necessarily funded by cities. She stated that she is not adverse to contracting with the Chamber but needs these things clarified in the contract. Attorney Haney expressed some of the same reservations about this contract. He had added language in Article II to specify that services are being provided for the City of Tukwila. This should satisfy the concern of the State Auditor. Councilman Bauch said this contract was discussed by the Committee. Council has talked about finding innovative ways to work with the Chamber to promote the City in both image and economic development. The Chamber will report on pro- gress prior to budget time. He is willing to give it a try and urged Council to support this proposal. Steve Abercrombie, National Bank of Tukwila, explained that the Chamber has been dealing with the planning area for some time. The believe their inclusion of the Sea -Tac area is the best for the long -term benefit of everyone in that area and for the people of Tukwila. As far as the contract, sometimes it is very difficult to outline specifics so far in advance when starting out on a new venture. The report back to the City on the performance is critical. We are at a point where times have changed to such a degree that a partnership between the City and the Chamber becomes more definite than it ever has in the future. The Tukwila area is unique. This relationship is going to be dramatic for the future of the area. He explained that they have a video, a brochure and a new map that are all underway. Don Campbell, Longacres Race Track, commented that on the three projects they are working on they have received a lot of services from key members. What we do here is going to take off from other work already established by other indus- tries. We are going to be able to accomplish more with fewer dollars because of this groundwork that has already been laid. There is also a possibility of receiving additional funding from the County and the Port. Council President Morgan commented that Council is elected to watch over the tax dollars of the citizens and cannot give money for a purpose that is not within the parameters of Council's responsibility. The three pieces of information being produced are not listed in this contract. She would be more comfortable if these were included in the contract so Council can see that they were accomplished. Further, she asked how the Chamber will publicize the City's involvement. This is not in the contract. Mr. Abercrombie called attention to their last two direc- tories and the amount of involvement the City has in them. They didn't think it was necessary to put it in writing that they will continue to promote the City. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING July 20, 1987 Page 4 NEW BUSINESS (cont'd) Council President Morgan suggested that "Paid for, in part, by the City of Tukwila" be included. Council Member Harris commented when the idea was first presented, it was that the City would be one part along with the Port and King County and we would work together. The Director of the Chamber said that they would make sure that your funds are spent on Tukwila only. Instead of being Tukwila specific, it has become the Tukwila Planning area. I hope, eventually the planning area will become Tukwila. We need more visibility. We don't want this to become the planning area and have Tukwila left out. We need to be assured that we will be given recognition. Mr. Campbell commented that this relationship between the Chamber and the City can be a very valuable thing for the City and can set a whole new tone for what this part of King County needs. Councilman McKenna commented that we need progress reports, that close contact will be maintained, and that there will be input from the City. He asked: 1. Are the materials jointly owned or do they belong to the Chamber? 2. He referred to the contract and asked about proportionate share of the costs of the services, what proportionate share? Mr. Abercrombie said that most of the things they are working on right now are 80% Tukwila. The dollars will be very appropriately spent. Councilman Simpson commented that this is a good example of how Council can be very proactive in keeping our community economically viable. The working relationship with the Chamber is vital. This is a positive stroke for both the Chamber and the City. Mayor Van Dusen agreed this was something we need to do. Let's let the Chamber show us. During the budget process we should have something we can review. This is a contract for just this year. Attorney Haney reminded Council that there needs to be a proper audit trail for these funds. Mr. Doerschel should work with the Chamber on the types of records the City needs. MOVED BY MORGAN, SECONDED BY MCKENNA, THAT COUNCIL AMEND THE CONTRACT TO INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: PART I 1. A DESCRIPTIVE BROCHURE OF THE CITY. 2. A MAP OF THE CITY AND ITS PLANNING AREA. 3. A VIDEO FEATURING THE CITY. 4. A DISPLAY BOOTH FOR TRADE SHOWS. PART II ALL MATERIALS PAID FOR THROUGH THIS CONTRACT SHALL ACKNOWLEDGE, IN PRINTED FORM, THAT THEY WERE PAID FOR, IN PART OR IN WHOLE, BY THE CITY OF TUKWILA. PART III ALL DOCUMENTS AND OTHER MATERIALS PRODUCED IN WHOLE OR IN PART WITH FUNDS PAID FOR BY THE CITY UNDER THIS CONTRACT, ARE JOINTLY OWNED BY THE CITY AND THE CHAMBER, WITH EACH HAVING FULL RIGHTS TO USE THE SAME WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE OTHER. TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL, REGULAR MEETING July 20, 1987 Page 5 NEW BUSINESS (cont'd) RECESS 9:05 9:20 p.m. Presentation to Councilman McKenna Resolution No. 1048, ordering the segre- gation of assessment between Parcels 9 and 11 of LID #30 Mr. Abercrombie commented that he does not want it to be implied in this contract that all four of the products can be finished, in total. They don't know if they can. Mr. Campbell said that they will feel certain constraints if they have to be certain that their work is overshadowed by 3 or 4 finished products. They may complete two exceptional products and fail the contract. There is a need for some responsible flexibility. Council President Morgan suggested the motion be modified to include these products the Chamber feels they can accomplish. Councilman McKenna, who seconded the motion, suggested video and brochure be included in the contract, along with the wording "including but not limited to ROLL CALL VOTE: Harris Yes Duffie Yes Morgan Yes Bauch No Simpson No Stoknes Yes McKenna Yes MOTION CARRIED, 5 YES, 2 NO.
