INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Ekberg
Finance and Safety Committee
FROM: Peggy McCarthy, Finance Director
BY: Sandy Garrett, Senior Finance Coordinator
DATE: February 2, 2016
SUBJECT: Ordinance: Updates to Title 5 - Business Licenses and Regulations
and Resolution: adopting a Business License Fee Schedule
ISSUE
The purpose of the proposed amendments within the ordinance includes clarifying language
and removing the fee schedule information.
The purpose of the proposed resolution is to establish business license fees in a format that will
improve clarity and simplify future updates.
BACKGROUND
Title 5 of the Tukwila Municipal Code is a compilation of ordinances that have been combined
and amended over the years to provide clear, concise information related to the process of
issuance of business licenses. As the day to day operations of issuing licenses takes place,
opportunities to fine tune the document are identified. At this time the opportunities identified by
the Finance Department include clarifying language and simplifying the process by establishing
a fee schedule in a separate document.
Mention of specific fees throughout the document is removed and replaced with "in accordance
with the fee scheduled adopted by resolution of the City Council ". A proposed resolution setting
forth a schedule of fees is attached.
Chapter 5.04 Section 5.04.010 — Definitions is amended to include the verbiage "Hours worked
includes paid time off." At the end of definition 10. - "Full time equivalent (FTE) ".
Other items are being recommended to clarify language and provide consistency throughout the
document
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There will be no financial impact
RECOMMENDATION
The Finance and Safety Committee is asked to provide a recommendation to forward the
ordinance and resolution to the February 16, 2016 Regular Meeting consent agenda.

a five -year warranty for $350. This is a mobile device that will allow users to inventory, transfer
and check out items from any location, syncing remotely with the evidence database. This will
improve efficiency and is a timely companion to the Police Department's new evidence facility.
Funding for the device and warranty will be divided between the departmental office supplies
and evidence supplies budgets.
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.

Staff is seeking Council approval of a resolution that would surplus the 1994 Darley Fire Truck
and authorize the sale of the truck to Bates Technical College for $5,950. This fire engine is no
longer in service and is at the end of its life cycle. It will be useful to Bates Technical College to
train upcoming firefighters because it has modern features that don't currently exist in their
training inventory. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO FEBRUARY 16, 2016 REGULAR
CONSENTAGENDA.
C. Ordinance and Resolution: Amending Title 5. "Business Licenses and Regulations"
Staff is seeking Council approval of an ordinance that would amend Title 5, "Business Licenses
and Regulations," with clarifying improvements and consistency with current practice. In
addition, the ordinance would remove the fee schedule, as the City has been gradually
removing various fee schedules from locations in the Code and adopting them by resolution
instead. Staff is also seeking Council approval of the resolution that would adopt the fee
schedule for business licenses. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO FEBRUARY 16, 2016
