II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Lease Extension for the Neighborhood Resource Center
Staff is seeking Council approval of a one -year extension to the lease agreement for the
Neighborhood Resource Center located at 14862 Tukwila International Boulevard. The
current lease expires June 30, 2015 and is paid at a monthly rent of $1700. The proposed
extension would go through June 30, 2016 and be paid at an increased rent of $1750 per
month, or $21,000 for the year. This is a budgeted expense and the Police Department wishes
to continue use of this property until a new facility is constructed as part of the Tukwila Village
development. More information about the status of that construction will be available by the
time this extension will expire next summer.of this extension next summer. UNANIMOUS
APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JUNE 1, 2015 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA.
B. Transportation Benefit District Update
During the 2015 -2016 Budget review process, the Council requested an update in 2015 on
the Transportation Benefit District (TBD) revenue option. In 2014 King County proposed a
combination vehicle license and sales tax TBD that was rejected by voters. Had it been
successful Tukwila could have received over $500,000 annually. There are various funding
options available through a TBD as outlined in the information memo, some requiring voter
approval and others not. If Tukwila implemented a $20 vehicle license fee, the estimated
revenue to the City would be $552,420. If Tukwila voters approved a sales tax of 0.2 %, the
estimated revenue would be $3,600,000.
Committee members discussed the information and requested that this topic return to
Committee as part of a larger conversation about revenue options such as levy lid lift and
B &O tax. Committee Chair Hougardy noted that 2015 is a good opportunity to become
informed about revenue options as it is an off -year in the budget cycle. A similar presentation
will then be presented to the entire Council following Committee review and refinement.
