Nora Gierloff, Deputy Community Development Director, explained that the ordinance before the Council
has some edits that were not included at the last Council meeting (August 10) packet. Some RCW
citations were added and some language was moved from one subsection to another. The changes were

Councilmember Robertson asked when the ordinance would take effect. The City Clerk responded that

b. An update on the Regional Fire Authority (RFA) Annexation.
Moira Bradshaw, Senior Planner /RFA Project Manager, utilized a Powerpoint presentation to provide an
update on this project.
Ms. Bradshaw explained there is an RFA Annexation Steering Committee that has been meeting
regularly, with the last meeting being in July. Two members of the committee are here this evening to
give their views of how things are going with the Committee and the investigation.
The Steering Committee Members:
Joe Duffie, City Councilmember
Verna Seal, City Councilmember
David Cline, City Administrator
Chris Flores, Interim Tukwila Fire Chief
Dawn Judkins, President IAFF Local 2088
Alan Codenys, Tukwila Firefighter
Merle Brooks, Tukwila Firefighter
Jerry Thornton, Resident
Jessica Jerwa, Resident
Kathleen Wilson, Resident
Genevieve Christensen /Becky Smith, Westfield
Roxanne Knowle, Senior Real Estate Manager, CBRE
Mark Segale, Segale Business Park
Mike Denbo, Fire District 37 Commissioner
Ray Shjerven, President, IAFF Local 1747
Jim Schneider, Chief, Kent RFA
Brian Snure, Kent RFA Legal Counsel
Ms. Bradshaw introduced 2 residential members of the Steering Committee who were present to provide
their perspective on the process.
Jerry Thornton said he is a residential representative on the Steering Committee. He emphasized that
the questions for the community members include (1) Are they better off by voting to approve the
annexation of the Tukwila Fire Department to the Kent RFA, and (2) Can they provide the long -term
commitment to support the associated charges. It is important to have an equitable and cost - effective
Fire Benefit Charge, and the Steering Committee will continue to move forward to provide a solid
recommendation.
Jessica Jerwa is also a residential representative on the Steering Committee. She said it is important to
relay to the public that the level of service increase will be comparable to the increase in costs. There is a
great benefit in this mutual collaboration with a large department for both emergency responsiveness and
disaster preparedness.

Operating Budget Comparison
At the last meeting of the Steering Committee, staff from the City and the RFA presented budget
information, so that a comparison could be made on the difference in operating costs between the City
and the RFA.
In trying to get a fair comparison of costs between a local and a regional service, Tukwila reviewed its
budget and allocated all costs associated with operating and supporting the Fire Department. Tukwila's
costs include administration, operations and training, facilities maintenance, fleet, and soft costs such as
HR, IT, Finance, and Legal.
These Fire Department costs exclude the budgeted amounts for Fire Prevention /permitting, Investigation
and Emergency Management, as well as LEOFF1, which are costs that would remain the responsibility of
the City.
Tukwila Budgeted Fire Costs - $10,250,875
RFA Estimated Fire Costs - $10,953,954
Difference - $ 703,082
Finance Work Group Members
Dennis Robertson, Tukwila City Councilmember
David Cline, Tukwila City Administrator
Vicky Carlsen, Tukwila Deputy Finance Director
Chris Flores, Interim Tukwila Fire Chief
Jim Schneider, Kent RFA Chief
Larry Rabel, Kent RFA Captain, Logistics
Margaret Martin, Kent RFA Finance Manager
Moira Bradshaw, Tukwila RFA Project Manager
Finance Work Group
• The RFA has estimated the operational cost of Tukwila Fire as part of the RFA
• Next steps:
• Develop an annual capital improvement plan to replace 3 of the 4 stations, as well as significant
maintenance and equipment replacement
• Review a new formula for the RFA Fire Benefit Charge to pay for a consolidated RFA with Tukwila
The Finance Work Group will work toward an agreement regarding the additional costs. They will look at
the capital assets, including the four stations, all the equipment, vehicles, IT equipment, and SCBAs (Self
Contained Breathing Apparatus). When that has been done, the group will be able to finalize the revenue
needs, including any revenue from a contract with the City of Tukwila for Fire Prevention, Emergency
Management, and Investigations.
The goal is to provide an 'apples to apples' comparison of costs associated with the Fire Department
under both models - the current model, which is the City providing services to the City, and the RFA
model. Ultimately, it is important to determine the costs to individual property owners and have a true
grasp of the impact of the Fire Benefit Charge.
Governance Work Group

Verna Seal, Tukwila City Councilmember
Kathleen Wilson, Tukwila Resident / RFA Annexation Steering Committee member

Tukwila City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
August 17, 2015 Page 8 of 10
The current RFA Plan is being reviewed and draft amendments are being made to include Tukwila. The
Governance Group reviewed proposed amendments to Sections 1 -5 of the 9 sections. One section lays
out the steps necessary to annex to the RFA, as follows:
-The Tukwila Council forwards a resolution to the RFA Governing Board requesting annexation per the
Draft Plan amendment,
-The Governing Board approves the request
-The Tukwila City Council places the issue before the voters.
-A simple majority votes to annex in accordance with the plan amendment.
Within the plan is a "needs" statement. The reason for the annexation is described as follows:
• The Kent RFA is a successful, highly- competent, nationally accredited regional service provider.
• The City and the RFA have been successfully working together since 2012 with the Training
Consortium, through mutual aid and through Zone 3 collaboration.
• The annexation is a way to ensure fire and emergency services continue to be delivered to the
Tukwila community at existing or improved levels.
• Proportionally allocating some of the cost is more equitable and feasible with the Fire Benefit Charge,
which the City cannot employ.
• A consolidation between the RFA and Tukwila provides greater flexibility in designing an opportunity
for deploying an effective response force.
• The RFA has created and implements a program for non - emergent care service from which the
Tukwila community can benefit.
Governance Structure
• Current Structure
3 Councilmembers from Kent
3 elected commissioners from King County Fire District 37 and
2 non - voting members from Covington and SeaTac City Councils.
• Proposed Structure
+3 Councilmembers from Tukwila
• The proposal above is to expand the Governance Board to 9 voting members — 3 of which would be
from the Tukwila City Council.
• The Chair and the Vice chair would alternate between a City and a Fire District member.
• The group also briefly discussed the by -laws of the Board and some of the changes that would need
to be made there in order to include 3 additional members.
• The group reviewed all of the draft changes that staff had prepared and made some modifications.
Next Steps
The Governance Work Group will present a draft of Sections 1 -5 to the full Steering Committee, and the
Finance Group is continuing to work on Sections 6 -9. These sections make up the Plan. The Plan is the
agreement between the community of Tukwila and the Kent Regional Fire Authority. There will be
additional details that will come to the City Council in the form of Interlocal agreements that would
implement the Plan should the vote be positive.
The Plan provides the basic framework for fire and emergency medical services, the costs and the
responsibilities between the two organizations. The question to the voters would be:
Should the annexation be approved in accordance with the Plan.
The current schedule is to provide the Council the information necessary to make a decision at the end of
November or December, with the possibility of a vote to the public on April 26, 2016. If the Council needs
more time for the decision - making phase, then the schedule can be adjusted as needed.
The Councilmembers asked questions regarding the presentation and offered the following comments:
The importance of the public having access to the full details involving the Plan; Concern regarding the
timing of decision- making as it relates to labor negotiations and ensuring the information that goes out to
the community is clear and up -to -date; The need for the pros and cons to be well articulated to the
community; The necessity of the information being provided to the Council before it is disseminated; and
The significance of the factors that make up the $703,000 variance be clearly outlined.
Tukwila City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
August 17, 2015 Page 9 of 10
David Cline, City Administrator, emphasized that all facets of the RFA exploratory process must align
prior to the Plan document being brought before the Council.
Mayor Haggerton said this has been a long process and appreciates the work done by the Council,
volunteers, and staff.
REPORTS
a. Mayor
The Mayor had no report
b. City Council
Councilmember Duffie reported on the Transportation Committee meeting that occurred prior to this
meeting.
Council President Kruller expressed appreciation for the outdoor cinema events that take place at the
Tukwila Community Center. On August 10, 2015, she attended the SCA (Sound Cities Association)
breakfast, where Senator Patty Murray was in attendance. Ms. Kruller mentioned to Senator Murray that
the City had applied for a TIGER grant, and the Senator expressed that she was aware and watching the
issue. She also attended the recent Southwest King County Chamber of Commerce meeting. On August
14, Council President Kruller represented the City at the Vietnamese Martyrs Parish summer festival.
While she has attended this event before, she is always amazed at the magnitude of the celebration and
the kindness of the people. She indicated they will be making impressive renovations to their facility.
Additionally, she noted that what the City of Kent has done at the Briscoe Desimone Levee with sheet
metal is impressive. Ms. Kruller also attended a CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) training
on August 15, 2015. Her important take -away from this was a sign that says "OK" on one side and
"HELP" on the other to be put in windows of homes and businesses in the event of a disaster that lets
responders know the situation inside.
Councilmember Quinn reported that the Council Coffee Chat on August 8, 2015 was held at the Foster
Library and 6 people participated.
Councilmember Robertson relayed that what is occurring at the Briscoe Desimone Levee with the sheet
metal wall is not good for fish. The river water is too warm for the fish to thrive, and the sheet metal wall
interferes with the ability of colder ground water to get into the river.
c. Staff
David Cline, City Administrator, referenced the City Administrator (CA) Report and offered to answer any
questions. He also reported that Tukwila has sent Fire Department personnel to the Chelan area to
assist with the fires occurring in that part of our state.
Councilmember Hougardy requested that the Council be given a report after the Fire personnel return
from eastern Washington.
Councilmember Ekberg referenced the part of the CA Report that summarized the ST3 (Sound Transit 3)
activities and asked for an update on the Boeing Access Station.
Mr. Cline said the Sound Transit Board met, and they kept everything in the plan, which included the
Boeing Access Road Station, Light Rail Station and Commuter Rail Station. They also added 15 more
projects, 3 of which would have an impact on Tukwila.
d. City Attorney
There was no report.
