MINUTES REGULAR MEETING CALL TO ORDER/PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE /ROLL CALL Mayor Haggerton called the Regular Meeting of the Tukwila City Council to order at 7:01 p.m. and led the audience in the Pledge of Allegiance. ROLL CALL Christy O'Flaherty, City Clerk, called the roll of the Council. Present were Councilmembers Joe Duffie, Dennis Robertson, Kate Kruller, Allan Ekberg, Verna Seal, Kathy Hougardy, De'Sean Quinn. CITY OFFICIALS Jim Haggerton, Mayor; David Cline, City Administrator; Rachel Turpin, City Attorney; Brandon Miles, Economic Development Liaison; Vicky Carlsen, Deputy Finance Director; Moira Bradshaw, Senior Planner /RFA Project Manager; Rachel Bianchi, Communications and Government Relations Manager; Laurel Humphrey, Council Analyst; Christy O'Flaherty, City Clerk. SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS Update on Green Dot Campaign. Jill Braun, Deputy Director of DAWN (Domestic Abuse Women's Network). Jill Braun, Deputy Director of DAWN, provided an overview of the Green Dot Campaign. Ms. Braun asked that a map be visualized with red dots spreading across the map symbolizing the spread of a terrible epidemic — each red dot representing an individual case. Now imagine for a moment a map of your City or neighborhood. Each red dot on this map represents an act of power -based personal violence (partner violence, sexual violence, stalking, bullying, child abuse, or elder abuse) — or a choice to tolerate, justify or perpetuate this violence. A red dot is an individual choice to do nothing in the face of a potentially high risk situation. Power -based personal violence is not a huge, solid mass that can simply be removed with one swift action or policy. Rather, it is the accumulation of individual decisions, moments, values, and actions made by the men and women from every corner of our world. Now imagine adding a green dot in the middle of all those red dots on a map. A green dot is any behavior, choice, word, or attitude that promotes safety for all our citizens and communicates utter intolerance for violence. A green dot is pulling a friend out of a high risk situation — a green dot is donating a few dollars to your local service provider — a green dot is displaying an awareness poster in your room or office — a green dot is putting a green dot message on your Facebook page — a green dot is striking up a conversation with a friend or family member about how much this issue matters to you. A green dot is simply your individual choice at any given moment to make our world safer. How many green dots will it take to begin reducing power -based personal violence? How many of us need to add 2 or 3 or 7 or 50 dots to this map to begin to make a difference and begin to outnumber and displace those red dots? Ms. Braun explained there are 3 primary ways to be reactive, known as the "3 Ds," Direct, Delegate or Distract. A "direct" green dot occurs when you handle the situation with confrontation. Distracting is changing the conversation and the energy of the interaction by distracting them with something else (dancing, a problem, food, bathroom break, etc.). Delegating is finding someone else who you feel will be more successful in fixing the problem (public safety, other friends, etc.). Ms. Braun gave an example of a time when she was driving down the road with her daughter, and saw a man chasing a woman down the street and then he started shaking her. Ms. Braun distracted the situation by yelling out the window, "Can Tukwila City Council Regular Meeting Minutes October 19, 2015 Page 2 of 9 you tell me how to get to 1 -5." This let the perpetrator know that she saw what was happening, and it momentarily stopped the violence. She then drove around the corner and called 911. There are also proactive behaviors that establish intolerance of violence as the norm, resulting in the ultimate reduction of violence. Specifically, the program targets influential and respected individuals from across community subgroups. The goal is for these groups to engage in a basic education program that will equip them to integrate moments of prevention within existing relationships and daily activities. By doing so, new norms will be introduced and those within their sphere of influence will be significantly influenced to move from passive agreement that violence is wrong, to active intervention. Ms. Braun will provide a link to the Council that provides ways to participate. The Councilmembers commented on the presentation and asked clarifying questions of Ms. Braun. They also commended her for the good work done through the Green Dot Campaign and the Domestic Abuse Women's Network. R7041111fiN11 i!il:111i•II1 Confirm the appointment of Pastor Janice Bolerjack to Position #6 on the Community- Oriented Policing Citizens Advisory Board (COPCAB), with a term expiring March 31, 2018. MOVED BY ROBERTSON, SECONDED BY KRULLER TO CONFIRM THE APPOINTMENT OF PASTOR JANICE BOLERJACK TO POSITION #6 ON THE COMMUNITY - ORIENTED POLICING CITIZENS ADVISORY BOARD (COPCAB), WITH A TERM EXPIRING MARCH 31, 2018.* Pastor Jan expressed that she has so much respect for the work done by the City and appreciates having one more way of connecting and having a voice, as well as the opportunity to listen. The Councilmembers emphasized the significance of the selfless work that Pastor Jan provides for those most in need in the Tukwila community. She also serves on the Human Services Advisory Board and helps families on the ground through her church on a daily basis. Mayor Haggerton referenced Pastor Jan's assistance in August 2013, when people who were dislocated due to the motel raid were provided temporary shelter and food at her church. *MOTION CARRIED 7 -0. CITIZEN COMMENTS Scott Barry, 5213 South 164th Street, expressed concern about traffic issues in the area of 51St Avenue South and 164th Street that would benefit from changes and /or additions to signage. There is a loose, wobbly sign on 52 "d Avenue South that he hopes can be replaced. He would also like to see additional signage at that location to inform drivers it is their last opportunity to turn around. People end up traveling down his street, causing damage to his property and the properties of his neighbors. They tip over the garbage cans, which has caused confrontational situations. His security cameras showed 67 cars coming down the street in 30 days that entered his property. He has reported this to Public Works staff, and he would appreciate help from the Council on this issue to get signage that would provide needed relief. David Cline, City Administrator, said that City staff will work with Mr. Barry and the neighbors in that area. Councilmember Robertson stated that he has recently been on this street, and concurs with Mr. Barry that there appears to be a problem. John Edmark, 5207 South 164th Street, said he is a neighbor of Mr. Barry's, and he would like to see additional signage that directs drivers appropriately and provides relief to residents. Tukwila City Council Regular Meeting Minutes October 19, 2015 Page 3 of 9 Paul Szewczyk, 13749 Macadam Road South, shared a list of services provided by the City that have affected his life. He said the Public Works Department is absolutely amazing by way of keeping the streets clean, removing items that are illegally dumped, and cleaning graffiti. Our parks are incredibly clean and well maintained. He referenced the good work of Evelyn (the City's Human Services Manager). His neighbor had a catastrophic problem, and Mr. Szewczyk called Evelyn seeking help. Based on that call, the City pulled together to help his neighbor, even though it may not have been the City's responsibility. He recounted a recent event involving the good work of the Police Department when he was almost killed in a traffic accident. He commended the police officers for the way they handled the matter and in apprehending the individual involved. He referenced the amazing events at the Tukwila Community Center, and the array of "happy" people who come out of there. He is also thankful for the cleanup of Tukwila International Blvd. and the excitement generated by the new library coming into the area. He also appreciates the staff who help him navigate the permit process. He said his comments stem from talking with a neighbor who was giving the City a hard time, and he wanted to extend a "thank you" to the City. He has lived all over the world and Tukwila is a great place to live. Drew Picard, 5210 South 164th Street, said he supports the comments of his neighbors who spoke regarding the traffic and signage issues on his street. There has been property damage to many that could be solved by revising the signage on 51s' Avenue South and adding signage on 52nd Avenue South. David Puki, 3748 South 152nd Street, said he is speaking regarding potential changes to residential parking requirements that will be discussed at the next Committee of the Whole meeting. This would affect him due to his diverse mix of vehicles. When he moved to Tukwila in 2011, it was to consolidate his vehicles onto one property. He has ample, approved parking for 23 vehicles and currently has 15 vehicles on his property, which encompasses 2 lots at 31,500 sq. ft. The proposed changes would limit the number of vehicles to 4 -6. He would like to continue to keep the possessions he has worked for and not have to move to keep them. He would like to know what specific complaints or issues have occurred to prompt a change. The citizens have not been informed of this, and he understands this was requested by Code Enforcement. He said it is the Council's job to represent the citizens and protect their interests. Councilmember Seal extended apologies to Mr. Puki for advising him to come to tonight's meeting, when the item will be discussed next week. However, she is grateful he came tonight to convey his concerns. The Councilmembers exchanged comments on Mr. Puki's concerns, with the intent to further review this issue. John Romero, 4455 South 148th Street, said he has lived here a long time, and at one point he had 7 kids going to Foster High School and each of them had a car. His home was also the location where the homecoming floats were constructed, which could involve 20 cars. His family dinners often bring 20 -30 cars to his home. If he cannot park cars on his own property, there is no choice but to put more cars on the street which creates another set of problems and public safety concerns. There is a school zone in his area and with kids walking on the street, there are already visibility issues and speeding problems. He would like to see this issue be given further review. Mayor Haggerton relayed to Mr. Romero that when he was in Washington D.C., he had the privilege of working with his granddaughter in Senator Adam Smith's office. Paul Szewczyk, 13749 Macadam Road South, suggested that when police officers are in the neighborhoods, they could put a flag on their vehicle to signify that members of the community could come and talk to them. From his standpoint, the relationship between police officers and the residents improve when there is open communication. CONSENT AGENDA a. Approval of Minutes: 10/5/15 (Regular Mtg.) b.

Update on Regional Fire Authority (RFA) Annexation Steering Committee. This is the fourth progress update on the issue of annexation of fire and emergency medical services to the Kent Regional Fire Authority. The Steering Committee established by the City to review this issue has spent the past seven months discussing the qualities of regional fire service versus local. Specifically, they have been reviewing the level of service and type and quality of operations of the Tukwila Fire Department as compared to the Kent RFA. A finance proposal was presented to the Steering Committee for the first time at their October 14, 2015 meeting. This proposal includes a cost comparison (initially presented in July) comparing Tukwila costs for fire service to the Kent RFA costs for fire service to Tukwila. Proposed revenues using the Kent RFA financing model of property tax plus fire benefit charge (FBC) for Tukwila property was also presented. An important financial item in the budget analysis is the inclusion of annualized capital costs into the budget comparison. The proposal includes a 20 -year Capital Plan that anticipates growth and includes all fire related capital needs and timing for fire station rebuild. There is a range of financial impacts to the variety of property owners in the City from residential to industrial. The financial impacts will also be determined by policy direction to be set by the Council in the near future. A separate work session for the City Council is tentatively scheduled for November 10, 2015 to discuss the cost and revenue implications to the City as an organization and the impacts those decisions will have on property owners Moira Bradshaw, Senior Planner /RFA Project Manager, introduced Kathleen Wilson and Jessica Jerwa, community members who are a part of the Steering Committee. Ms. Wilson and Ms. Jerwa emphasized the importance of the work being done by the Steering Committee and the need for firefighters to focus on their core functions. The Committee intends to have a recommendation for the Council by the end of this year. Ms. Bradshaw and Vicky Carlsen, Deputy Finance Director, utilized a Powerpoint presentation to provide cost comparison information, with a summary as follows.

Seven cents is about $17 per year or $1.50 a month for a home valued at $250,000.

Mayor Mayor Haggerton reported that on October 15, 2015, he attended the K4C working summit as it relates to climate collaboration between King County and area cities. Additionally, on October 15, the Mayor convened a meeting with South King County Mayors, City Administrators and City Managers to begin a discussion on the suburbanization of poverty. The meeting was facilitated by Consultant Karen Reed and at the end of the meeting, there was resounding resolve to move forward. Poverty is the basis for so many of society's problems, and the Council may be requested to be involved and will also receive regular updates on the progress of this important effort. On October 19, 2015, the Mayor attended the Boeing dedication of the 737 delivery center at Boeing Field. This event was also attended by King County Executive Dow Constantine and Seattle Mayor Ed Murray. The speaker from Aviation High School was eloquent in his remarks to the attendees. b.

He also offered a reminder regarding the November 10, 2015 Veterans' Day celebration at the Tukwila Community Center (TCC) from 10:00 a.m. to noon. All are welcome to attend. Additionally, he commented about the incredible dance competition that occurred at the Tukwila Community Center this past weekend. Council President Kruller attended the World of Dance Competition this past weekend at TCC, and the energy was infectious. She offered the reminder that there is a bin near the City Clerk's counter to collect donations for DAWN. Ms. Kruller said the K4C climate collaboration effort is exciting.

She spent the morning of October 17, 2015 at the University of Washington Hub for a multi - cultural alumni partnership breakfast with a focus on celebrating diversity. Councilmember Ekberg expressed appreciation to the Foster High School Civics Class for the Candidates Night event on October 15, 2015.

Councilmember Seal attended the Metropolitan Park District (MPD) Executive Director meeting on October 13, 2015 and the RFA Steering Committee meeting on October 14, 2015.

He also reported there is interest in starting a symphony in Tukwila. There is a similar program in Houston, where non - profit organizations provide instruments to kids so they can learn to play and then perform. There is also a component around leadership and confidence that would be beneficial for our students. He anticipates that in the next year or 2, there will be a symphony. Mayor Haggerton referenced that in year's past, Foster High School had a large band program that won continuous awards. It would be nice to see that reinvigorated. Tukwila City Council Regular Meeting Minutes October 19, 2015 Page 9 of 9 c. Staff David Cline, City Administrator, referenced the City Administrator (CA) Report and offered to answer any questions.
