Tukwila City Council Regular Meeting Minutes December 7, 2015 b. Regional Fire Authority (RFA) annexation review. Page 3 of 9 Moira Bradshaw, RFA Project Manager, and Vicky Carlsen, Deputy Finance Director, utilized a Powerpoint presentation to provide an overview of this topic, with key points as follows: Does the City Council want to move forward with the annexation to the Kent RFA? • Continue public outreach • Continue City Council review The 2014 Exploratory Committee's recommendation presented a timeline that can lead to an April 2015 vote. Although not related to the Tukwila annexation question, that date is also the date the Kent RFA is planning on going out for a renewal vote for a 6 -year fire benefit charge. There are two items — the Plan Amendment and Interlocal Agreement (ILA) development - that are listed on the timeline. If Council and community support the annexation, and annexation is deemed financially feasible, then the Kent RFA plan will be amended and an Interlocal Agreement negotiated. Another critical piece is the agreement of the unions who are working concurrently through their issues. If the City Council and the Kent RFA governing board agree to a revised plan, then the resolutions and election phase will proceed. Schedule: ■ Changes to original time frame from 2014 Tukwila Exploratory Committee • Financial information delay of 12 months • Results in 3 month delay on draft Plan amendments • Request by RFA to develop ILA before election If Yes -- Time Frame Options • A January 2017 service transition means a vote no later than April 2016 • A January 2018 service transition means a vote by at least April 2017 Public Outreach - Minimum • An open house at each of the fire stations • Fact sheet mailings for residents and businesses • Presentations to Boards, Commissions and community groups January 2017 Service Transition • January 4 -15 — Council work sessions • Mid January — Public open houses • January 25 — Tukwila Public Hearing • February 1 — City resolution requesting RFA approval of annexation • February 17 — Action by RFA Governing Board • MaFGh 7 February 26 — City resolution to put issue before voters • April 26 - Ballot January 2018 Service Transition • Late January to mid - February - Full City Council review of financials • March - Kent RFA Plan review and ILA discussion • April - Community open houses and outreach & Public Hearing • May - City resolution and Governing Board action • June - City resolution to put issue before voters • August 2, 2016 Ballot (at the earliest) Public Outreach- Expanded • Tukwila Reporter • E- Hazelnut & Hazelnut • Channel 21 — °TukTV" • City web page • Social media Tukwila City Council Regular Meeting Minutes December 7, 2015 Page 4 of 9 Council Discussion and Direction OPTION A January 2017 service transition April 2016 ballot or OPTION B January 2018 service transition August 2016 ballot Moving Forward The Mayor suggests the Council choose an August ballot date (Option B) in order to allow sufficient time for review by the City Council and extended public outreach. Ms. Bradshaw took the Council through a review of the binders provided as part of the agenda packet. Mayor Haggerton asked if members of the public would like to speak on this issue. Eric Bernard, 10246 SE 213th Place, Kent, referenced his YouTube video, "NO Kent RFA in Tukwila — Keep Tukwila Money in Tukwila." He provided a document to the City Clerk for distribution to the Council. He and his wife ran an award winning business in Tukwila for 16 years. From his standpoint, the FBC (fire benefit charge) is bad and wrong on many levels. He said the concrete building that houses the pool will have an FBC charge of $2,800. Additionally, a brand new, late model building with a full fire suppression system that would not even need a firefighter will pay the same FBC as an old wooden barn. There are many unfair issues associated with these charges, and there will be a class action lawsuit to challenge this FBC charge. The only secure funding for the Tukwila Fire Department is the status quo and the City's tax levy. In his view, the key players associated with this effort do not understand how the FBC system works. For every $1.00 of funding, $1.50 of FBC is allowed to be levied and there is no cap, unlike a tax levy. He urged the Council to vote no on annexing to the Kent RFA. Leroy Stevenson, 26838 1661h Place SE, Covington, said he is part of District 37 that was brought into the Kent RFA. The result of this for him as a retiree with a small home is that he pays 35% more than when they had a stand -alone Fire District. From his viewpoint, the citizens are not getting a good deal here any way you look at it. The residents in Covington were told that residential charges would go down, as well as home insurance charges, neither of which happened. He was part of the committee on this issue in Covington, and he feels they were given one -sided information. The Kent RFA is a taxing authority, and the City facilities will be assessed a fire benefit charge. Covington citizens may vote the Kent RFA out this spring. He said it would be a gift to the citizens to kill this now and not let it proceed. Stephen Wheeler, 6321 South 151St Place, Tukwila, said he has lived here since 1966 and worked for the Tukwila Fire Department for 39 years. He is very willing to pay this tax as it relates to the Kent RFA. He does not agree that firefighters are not needed for state -of- the -art buildings. Those buildings are designed to hold fire in place, and still require firefighters. The RFA will give the City more resources than it has now. The capital improvements for fire facilities will be extensive and expensive. He spoke in favor of joining the Kent RFA; the services he will receive will be better than what can be provided by a small City. Dennis Martinez, 4660 South 160th Street, Tukwila, said that two large businesses voted no on this — Westfield Southcenter, the largest mall in the State, and Segale, the largest developer in the City. He is still waiting to hear the costs, and feels there should have been more citizen representation on the committee. If the costs are approximately the same, he would like to decide how his taxes are spent. There is a 600 -page binder on this topic, and there is a lot to digest. The City does not need to rush into this, and there should be transparency to ensure the proper decisions are made. Robin Allsopp, 5910 South 149th Street, Tukwila, relayed that Westfield and Segale voting no is a huge red flag. If they are satisfied with the situation as it is, that speaks to her. She is not satisfied with the amount of information provided about the cost, and she thinks it will likely be more costly. Additionally, it is hard to get voters out at any time, so a small group of the population could end up making the decision. Tukwila City Council Regular Meeting Minutes December 7, 2015 Page 5 of 9 She has concerns about losing the Fire Department. and she does not feel the Tukwila citizens are well informed. Joe Eustaquio, 14424 51s' Place South, Tukwila, said he does not like paying taxes, particularly Light Rail. He would also like to keep casinos that generate money. Sharon Johannessen, 13930 56th Place South, Tukwila, said we need to keep the Fire Department in our City where we can manage them. They are family. Brian Kennedy, 12802 37th Avenue South, Tukwila, said it is his understanding this would be good for the City and provide better buying power. In listening to others, he now has concerns about the costs and does not want to see higher taxes. The Councilmembers asked questions of staff and discussed the issues at length, with the following key comments: The need for greater detail to make an apples -to- apples comparison; The significance of getting feedback from the citizens; The need to fully review and digest the documentation in the 600+ page binder; The issue is controversial and must involve a transparent and robust process; Acknowledgement that the RFA has been discussed since 2006; Concern regarding the high cost of fire related services and facilities and where the funding will come from; The importance of including all comments from citizens both in and outside the City in a matrix; Recognition that a problem statement and issues summary is necessary to proceed; Concern regarding when the next shoe will drop regarding capital requests; The necessity of providing an answer to the public, Tukwila's firefighters, and the Kent RFA; and Establishing a goal that includes leaving ample time for problems or unforeseen issues that may arise. Councilmember Quinn asked if the Firefighters Union would shepherd this topic out to the public Dawn Judkins, President, Local IAFF, representing the Tukwila firefighters said they have a small local and the costs could be burdensome. They would also like to see additional information. Mayor Haggerton offered that the Council can work through the issues and details, taking the necessary time to have workshops and community outreach and then determine the best date for a possible vote. David Cline, City Administrator, said it looks like a consensus not to proceed with Option A. Staff can come back in January to provide schedules for this detailed work. Option B could proceed with work in January to establish a timeline that meets the Council's needs. Councilmember Robertson asked for a cost estimate, in the near future, on what this effort will cost as it continues on into 2016, to include staff time. Councilmember Seal said that she has been on the Steering Committee and has thoroughly studied this issue and is supportive of April. However, she also understands the need for public comment and the need to assess the cost of running the Fire Department, COUNCIL CONSENSUS EXISTED TO PROCEED WITH OPTION B — TO WORK IN JANUARY TO ESTABLISH A TIMELINE THAT MEETS THE COUNCIL'S NEEDS. 9:14 p.m. Mayor Haggerton declared a brief recess. 9:21 p.m. Mayor Haggerton reconvened the Regular Meeting. c. Tukwila International Boulevard Redevelopment Project: (1) Staff update on the alternative use of the Traveler's Choice Motel. Derek Speck, Economic Development Administrator, and Bob Giberson, Public Works Director, provided an overview of this topic. Mr. Speck explained that communications have occurred with 4Culture, and although they are very interested in using the motel for the arts, they required more information on the cost of repairing the building to make it usable before they could make a firm commitment. Additionally, Tukwila City Council Regular Meeting Minutes Decernber 7, 2015 Page 6 of 9 the City has a good bid price for the demolition and does not want to risk letting that bid expire such that the demolition cost would probably be higher in the future. This additional cost risk came to light last week when City staff inspected the building with 4Culture and Tukwila's Building Official and Fire Marshal. At that time there was a better understanding of the damage to the building from the seizure, two years of sitting unoccupied, significant dry rot, damage to the fire sprinkler system, and plumbing problems. Upon review, it was determined the repairs would likely be too expensive. The recommendation is that the City include the Traveler's Choice in the demolition contract. This will require a $150,000 expenditure from next year's budget. Bob Giberson, Public Works Director, explained that Schedule A in the amount of $470,247.75 is for the demolition of three motels (Great Bear, Boulevard, Spruce) and Sam Smoke Shop, and Schedule B in the amount of $132,779.70 is for the demolition of Traveler's Choice for a total of $603,027.45. (2) Award a bid to Construction Group International, LLC, for building demolition for the Tukwila International Boulevard Redevelopment Project (demolition of the Boulevard, Great Bear, Spruce and Traveler's Choice Motels and Sam Smoke Shop) in the amount of $603,027.45 (plus contingency), and authorize the Mayor to sign the contract. MOVED BY SEAL, SECONDED BY KRULLER TO AWARD A BID TO CONSTRUCTION GROUP INTERNATIONAL, LLC, FOR BUILDING DEMOLITION FOR THE TUKWILA INTERNATIONAL BOULEVARD REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT (DEMOLITION OF THE BOULEVARD, GREAT BEAR, SPRUCE AND TRAVELER'S CHOICE MOTELS AND SAM SMOKE SHOP) IN THE AMOUNT OF $603,027.45 (PLUS CONTINGENCY), AND AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO SIGN THE CONTRACT. MOTION CARRIED 7 -0. d. Authorize the Mayor to sign the 2015 Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) grant agreement from the U.S. Department of Justice in the amount of $250,000.00. MOVED BY HOUGARDY, SECONDED BY KRULLER TO AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO SIGN THE 2015 COMMUNITY ORIENTED POLICING SERVICES (COPS) GRANT AGREEMENT FROM THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE IN THE AMOUNT OF $250,000.00. MOTION CARRIED 7 -0. e. Authorize the Mayor to sign a purchase and license agreement with Spillman Technologies, Inc., for purchase and maintenance of the Sentryx product as the new Police Records Management System and related support and services in an amount not to exceed $1,070,466.00 ($350,000.00 of funding from the 2015 -2016 biennial budget, and $720,466.00 allocated through a budget amendment). MOVED BY HOUGARDY, SECONDED BY SEAL TO AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO SIGN A PURCHASE AND LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH SPILLMAN TECHNOLOGIES, INC., FOR PURCHASE AND MAINTENANCE OF THE SENTRYX PRODUCT AS THE NEW POLICE RECORDS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND RELATED SUPPORT AND SERVICES IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $1,070,466.00. ($350,000.00 OF FUNDING FROM THE 2015 -2016 BIENNIAL BUDGET, AND $720,466.00 ALLOCATED THROUGH A BUDGET AMENDMENT).* Based on questions by the Council, staff reiterated that a part -time person will be hired for a 12 -18 month period to help with the technology- related functions associated with the implementation of the new system. Trina Cook, Police Information Analyst, introduced Anthony Dorsey, Field Sales Executive from Spillman. Mr. Dorsey stated that Spillman has been a private company for 30 years with customers in 42 states, and Washington State has the most clients. *MOTION CARRIED 7 -0. Tukwila City Council Regular Meeting Minutes December 7, 2015 Page 7 of 9 f. An ordinance amending Ordinance Nos. 2458 and 2478 (part), which adopted and amended the City of Tukwila's Biennial Budget for the 2015 -2016 biennium, to adopt an amended mid - biennium budget. MOVED BY HOUGARDY, SECONDED BY DUFFIE THAT THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE BE READ BY TITLE ONLY. MOTION CARRIED 7 -0. Christy O'Flaherty, City Clerk, read the proposed ordinance by title only. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON, AMENDING ORDINANCE NOS. 2458 AND 2478 (PART), WHICH ADOPTED AND AMENDED THE CITY OF TUKWILA'S BIENNIAL BUDGET FOR THE 2015 -2016 BIENNIUM, TO ADOPT AN AMENDED MID - BIENNIUM BUDGET; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. MOVED BY DUFFIE, SECONDED BY ROBERTSON THAT THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE BE ADOPTED AS READ.* Brennan Wilson, 4803 South 162nd Street, agreed with Sharon Mann (who spoke under Citizen Comments) and expressed appreciation to the Council and public administrators for their hard work on complex projects and issues. Additionally, he is a CPA and it is concerning to him that the City is making material changes in the 12th month of a budget cycle. Corrective action on this will make future budgets work better. Councilmember Quinn said he is comfortable with making the decision on the budget amendment, and has some clarifying questions of staff. Mr. Quinn posed questions to the Police and Fire Chiefs regarding the amount of money and staffing for operating the Police and Fire Departments. Chief Villa responded that the budget for the Police Department is $16 million with a current staffing level of 77 officers. Interim Chief Flores relayed that the budget for the Fire Department is $11 million with a staffing level of 67 firefighters. The staffing in the Fire Department per shift was changed by department policy from 14 to 13, which is lower than the preferred staffing level. Mr. Quinn also asked the Fire and Police Chiefs for their best estimate of the level of service that needs to be provided, as it relates to optimal staffing and services for the residents of Tukwila. Chief Villa said if there were no limitations on resources, he would want 20 more staff members. However, there are competing interests, limited resources, and other departmental needs to be considered. Interim Chief Flores expressed that he does not believe the Fire Department is operating with the appropriate level of staffing. The City of Tukwila has the highest assessed value per square feet in the County, and that speaks to what they are asked to protect. Call volumes continue to rise and the major projects occurring in the City have more and more people coming to Tukwila. He recommends adding an aid car as soon as possible, which is a $1 million decision. He also sees needs in the area of logistics and fire prevention and response to call volume. He explained that response times would not be affected by adding one firefighter into the equation; the equipment would still arrive on scene in the same amount of time. If there were no limitations on spending, an additional $1.5 million would be optimum. Councilmember Quinn expressed that we have structural issues with Police and Fire, and it is essential that the Council have the necessary information to make sound financial decisions. While he is comfortable with the budget amendment as -is, he is not comfortable making these decisions on an annual basis, not knowing the full cost of services. He is making a formal request for 2016 and beyond as it relates to reporting of Police and Fire financial information. He is not proposing a budget proviso or changes to the budget, and would like reporting requirements in 2016. It could come in the form of a resolution, finding of fact or statement of legislative intent. He would like to have the full cost of services for Police and Fire through quarterly reports, with the first one due in late February, June 30, September 30, and one in December as follows: Tukwila City Council Regular Meeting Minutes December 7, 2015 Page 8 of 9 Quarterly Reports to include: -The full cost of Police and Fire: projections, actuals, year -to -date - Combine overtime budget with operational budget, including initiatives that contribute to operational cost - Mitigation plan(s) -Fire: Interim measures to meet short term Fire capital needs -Fire: Fire apparatus moved from Emergency Management to Fleet He would also like to hear from City Administration regarding the following: -A transparent approach to allow Council to know in advance before any tough decisions (closures, brownouts) are requested -Track Council requests in a matrix format to ensure clarity The Councilmembers discussed the above idea with the following key comments: Recognition that this is a well thought -out and sound concept that should follow the standard process and proceed to the Finance and Safety Committee in January; Support for the plan and not waiting until January; The need for starting the budget process earlier each year and digging into the numbers to ensure accountability to taxpayers; The importance of having fundamental financial information as it relates to Police and Fire; Concern regarding making a decision without written information received in advance; and The need to determine the cost of the new reporting requirements. In response to an inquiry by Councilmember Ekberg, David Cline, City Administrator, stated that the staff is committed to a process that better meets the needs of the Council that will start earlier in the year. The intent is to have the appropriate format in place by February 1, 2016. *ROLL CALL VOTE ON THE ORDINANCE TO ADOPT THE BUDGET AMENDMENT: DUFFIE YES ROBERTSON YES KRULLER NO EKBERG YES SEAL NO HOUGARDY YES QUINN NO MOTION CARRIED 4 -3, TO ADOPT ORDINANCE NUMBER 2492, WITH KRULLER, SEAL AND QUINN VOTING NO. MOVED BY KRULLER, SECONDED BY EKBERG TO FORWARD COUNCILMEMBER QUINN'S SUGGESTION TO THE DECEMBER 8, 2015 FINANCE AND SAFETY (FS) COMMITTEE MEETING, AND TO THE NEXT COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE MEETING AND TO A REGULAR MEETING FOR A VOTE. ** Discussion ensued among the Councilmembers regarding this issue and the timing associated with putting the issue on the December 8, 2015 FS meeting that already has a published agenda that is full. Councilmember Quinn expressed disappointment that the budget amendment was voted on prior to completion of the discussion on the enhanced reporting requirements he had suggested. He would have voted for the budget amendment had the discussion been able to continue prior to adoption of the amendment. MOVED BY ROBERTSON, SECONDED BY SEAL TO CONTINUE DISCUSSION ON THIS TOPIC. ROLL CALL VOTE: DUFFIE NO ROBERTSON YES KRULLER NO EKBERG YES SEAL YES HOUGARDY YES QUINN YES MOTION CARRIED 5 -2 TO CONTINUE DISCUSSION, WITH DUFFIE AND KRULLER VOTING NO.

Councilmember Ekberg explained that he withdrew the motion in recognition that there are only 2 weeks before the holiday, and he believes that staff understands the necessity of having a plan to move forward. REPORTS Due to the lateness of the hour, the Mayor dispensed with reports. ADJOURNMENT 10:58 p.m. MOVED BY DUFFIE, SECONDED BY ROBERTSON THAT THE TUKWILA CITY COUNCIL MEETING BE ADJOURNED.
