SPECIAL PRESENTATION
a. An update on the Puget Sound Emergency Radio Network (PSERN) system implementation.
Lora Ue|mnd, Executive Director, Valley Comm.
Lora Ueland, Executive Director at Valley Com, provided an overview of the PSERN implementation
project. Ms. Ueland provided written information for distribution to the Council and Mayor.
The purpose of PSERN is to replace the current 800 MHz radio system used by emergency services and
pubic and government entities. The current radio system used by alt public safety agencies in King
County is owned by four partners: King County, the City of Seattle, the Eastside Public Safety
Communications Agency (EPSCA) and Valley Communications Center.

The current radio system was formed in connection with a 1992 King County ballot measure, and King
County distributed funds to the four entities and each was responsible for building a portion of the overall
system. The current county -wide system was completed in 1997 and still provides the emergency radio
network for this region, serving 16,000 radios. Additionally, the system is used by some school districts,
utilities, transportation providers, hospitals and other government entities.
The current system is approaching 20 years old. The vendor has indicated the support for the system is
coming to an end and will be eliminated in 2018. The system no longer provides the desired level of
coverage in certain parts of the County. Its capacity is taxed during major events which restricts or
prohibits effective communication.
In 2012, King County convened a group of King County, EPSCA, Seattle and Valley Com officials to
consider how to implement a new state -of- the -art, seamless, unified emergency radio system which was
named the Public Safety Emergency Radio Network (PSERN). In 2013, the parties cooperatively issued
an RFP for replacement of the current system. The new system will require a countywide ballot measure
to fund, is expected to take 5 -6 years to build, and users will begin migrating from the current radio
system to the new one in 2019. The life span of the new system is anticipated to be 20 years.
The PSERN project, including sites, equipment, labor, sales tax, and interest on bonds will cost
approximately $237 million. The King County Executive anticipates asking to put a funding measure,
a 9 -year levy lid lift, on the ballot in April 2015. The current estimate of the impact of the ballot measure if
passed is 7 cents per $1,000 of assessed value over 9 years. Rates for service will fund the ongoing
operation of the system.
With the end of support from the vendor in 2018 and at least 5 years needed to build the system, any
delay increases risk. The target election is April 2015. The King County Council must adopt an
ordinance putting a funding measure on the ballot no later than February 16, 2015. It is hoped the
Interlocal Agreements can be adopted by all the cities in early January 2015. Tukwila's City Attorney has
been involved in drafting the Interlocal Agreements. Should the timeline not be met to put a measure on
the April 2015 ballot or the ballot not pass, there will likely be another attempt in 2016.
The Councilmembers asked questions and offered comments regarding the presentation and thanked
Ms. Ueland for giving an update at this time.
Mayor Haggerton emphasized the aggressive timeline associated with approval of an Interlocal
Agreement by the City Council in early January 2015. He asked the Council President and
Councilmembers to begin thinking about the best way for this to be accomplished in light of Tukwila's
Council Committee process.
b. An update on the grocery store survey. Derek Speck, Economic Development Administrator,
and Junpei Guo, Economic Development Intern.
Derek Speck, Economic Development Administrator, explained that the grocery store at the location of
South 144th Street and Tukwila International Boulevard (TIB) has had multiple owners over the years.
One of the stores closed due to bankruptcy and another went out of business. Currently Saar's grocery
store is in business at this location. The City made the decision to utilize an intern to do a study to assess
methods to ensure a long -term successful grocery store in Tukwila.
Ms. Guo graduated with a Master's Degree in Public Administration and has had previous experience in
food innovation projects.
Junpei Guo, Economic Development Intern, utilized an electronic presentation to provide an overview of
this topic.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON,
APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH TUKWILA TSD,
LLC, FOR THE SHARED USE OF PARKING IN THE PUBLIC RIGHT -OF -WAY OF
CHRISTENSEN ROAD AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF A PUBLIC POCKET PARK AT THE
NORTH END OF CHRISTENSEN ROAD, AS IT RELATES TO THE PLANNED DEVELOPMENT
OF A HOTEL LOCATED AT 90 ANDOVER PARK EAST; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY;
AND ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
MOVED BY DUFFIE, SECONDED BY HOUGARDY THAT THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE BE
ADOPTED AS READ.*
Council President Quinn explained that upon review of the Shoreline Master Program (SMP), he would
like to suggest an alternative. He would like to send this back to the Community Affairs and Parks (CAP)
Committee for consideration. The intent would be to take 30 days, or more if necessary, for an
assessment regarding impacts of this project to the shoreline. This project is in the SMP jurisdiction and
possibly in the buffer, and it is important for that to be thoroughly vetted prior to moving forward.
Councilmember Ekberg supports sending the item back to the Committee, as they can review all options
and consider the Shoreline Management Act. He looks forward to a recommendation from the CAP
Committee and suggested the Park Commission be involved as well.
Councilmember Seal supports sending the item back to CAP, so the impacts can be reviewed through the
lens of the SMP. She likes the idea of a 30 -day limit and is very supportive of the project and working
through the issues to move forward.
Councilmember Hougardy has concerns about parking that can be addressed when the CAP re- visits this
issue. The City has parking requirements for the site, the hotel has parking needs, and there are trail
users who also use the parking lot as an access point for the trail. There are very few access points to
this trail, and this particular location is used for that purpose. She is concerned that no study was done
regarding parking needs.
Minnie Dhaliwal, Planning Supervisor, said it is a 92 -room hotel, and the code requirement is 1 space per
room or 92 parking spaces. Currently, the site plan shows 98 spaces that are available or 6 extra. The
Development Agreement language calls out 4 parking spaces to be reserved exclusively for non -hotel
users.
Councilmember Hougardy said it is her understanding the City could waive the required number of
spaces, as we have done for some other developments, based on the assumption that not all rooms have
cars associated with them, i.e. air travelers. She would like to see 12 parking spaces available for trail or
park users only. She would like to see the CAP Committee consider the parking concerns.
Ms. Dhaliwal pointed out that there is no restaurant in the hotel and the occupancy is expected to be
approximately 70 %. The hotelier does not feel they will fill up the parking spaces and most parking fills
up after night time hours.
Councilmember Kruller acknowledged the hotelier who was duly diligent and came forward with an idea
and offered funding as part of the project. She would like to see the CAP Committee consider the best
use for those dollars and consider the shoreline during that discussion. She does have concern about a
30 -day limit and would like to see 30 "working days" factored into that timeline.
Councilmember Duffie offered the reminder that tonight is the last Council meeting of 2014, and the 2015
Committee members have not been assigned. He would like that to be considered in determining the
timeline.

Mayor Haggerton said that while he did not hear that the criteria is for a "strict" 30 -day time period, he did
hear clear consensus to bring this issue back to the CAP Committee early in 2015.

REPORTS
a. Mayor
Mayor Haggerton provided his report in written form. The Mayor attended the NLC (National League of
Cities) Conference in Austin, Texas, from November 19-22, 2014. In addition to the opening, closing and
general sessions, the Mayor attended the Information and Technology Steering Committee, where a
focus was on broadband deployment. He also attended: the Western Municipal Association workshop
where Councilmembers from Sammamish and Everett provided a presentation to the western states
about climate change; a workshop titled "Strategies for Long Term Fiscal Health;" a workshop on Making
Cities Safer by Leveraging Public Safety Technology; a workshop on Community Branding and
Marketing, which the Mayor was asked to participate in; and the Annual Business Meeting. Networking
with elected officials from around the country regarding their challenges and successes was invaluable.
b. City Council
Councilmember Kruller attended the NLC Conference November 19-22, 2014. It was very fast paced and
focused. She is a representative on the Transportation, Infrastructure and Services Steering Committee,
which is a voting committee. She and 4 other members from Washington State worked on the
amendments to a 90-page resolution that represents the national priorities on transportation from NLC.
This took a great deal of time, and the Steering Committee accepted all of their changes, with the
exception of one sentence. Our west coast Washington priorities were woven into the amendment, which
will benefit our state over the long term. Additionally, a Councilmember from Auburn is now on the Board
and that is also a significant accomplishment for Washington State.
c. Staff
David Cline, City Administrator, referenced the City Administrator (CA) Report in the packet and offered to
answer any questions.
