II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Trakit Citizen Response Module
Staff provided an update on the status of eTrakit functionality. Permit review staff across DCD, PW and
Fire are using the Trakit system to accept, review and issue permits. eTrakit is an online module that will
be accessible to the public and allow users to search permit and code enforcement activity as well as
report general issues online. Before going live with this module, staff is working to resolve issues with
the citywide address database as well as the recent purchase of Trakit by Sungard. Staff demonstrated
the software for the Committee onscreen. INFORMATION ONLY.
B. Ordinance: Parking Regulations
Staff is seeking Council approval of an ordinance that would reenact Tukwila Municipal Code Chapter
9.20, Parking Regulations, and amend certain other sections accordingly. In response to committee
direction on November 9, staff returned with an amendment to Section 7 and a proposal for public notice.
• Section 7, reenacting TMC 9.20.030 (B) is amended to change the time period from 24 to 6 hours
to make consistent with other city property referenced in 9.20.030 (A).
• Staff proposes the publication of articles in the December Tukwila Reporter, E- Hazelnut, and City
website. Final action on the ordinance could be scheduled either after these publications (February
1, 2016) or before (January 2016).
The Committee supported the amendment and the communications plan but did not make a
recommendation on the schedule for final action. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO
DECEMBER 14, 2015 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
C. Ordinance: Vehicle Parking on Residential Properties
Staff is seeking Council approval of an ordinance that would amend Tukwila Municipal Code 8.2.5.020,
Parking Limitations, to establish a limit on the number of vehicles allowed to be parked on a single family
residential property. In response to committee direction on November 9, staff returned with an
amendment that would impose a limit of 6 only to residential properties under 13,000 square feet. It
also adds an exception for periods under 48 hours to accommodate short term gatherings or visitors.
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO DECEMBER 14, 2015 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE..
