INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
Mayor Ekberg
Finance and Safety Committee
FROM: Peggy McCarthy, Finance Director
DATE: March 16, 2016
SUBJECT: 2016 Budget Amendments — Revenue Backed and Carryover
Allan Ekberg, Mayor
ISSUE
Approve revenue backed and carryover budget amendments for inclusion in the year -end budget
amendment ordinance that will be presented to Council in November 2016.
BACKGROUD
Revenue Backed Amendments. The August 2015 budget amendment added expenditure budget for two
Police officers and added corresponding revenue budget for the salary and benefit reimbursement to the
City for these officers. One officer is dedicated to the Auto Theft Task Force and the other officer is
dedicated to the Criminal Justice Training Center for the Basic Law Enforcement Academy. The officers
continue to serve in this capacity in 2016; additional revenue and expenditure budget is needed to reflect
this arrangement.
Budget for the 2015 COPs grant was included in the November 2015, mid - biennial budget amendment.
However, the amendment inadvertently applied the revenue against the expenditure budget, thus
understating both the revenue and expenditure budget for this item. To correct this, revenue budget and
expenditure budget is added through this proposed budget amendment.
Because these are revenue backed amendments, there is no effect on the ending fund balance.
Carryover Amendment. At the December 8, 2015 Finance and Safety Committee meeting a contract for
$93,179.24 to upgrade the Laserfiche digital records system was presented and subsequently approved.
The funding source for the software upgrade was identified as anticipated 2015 City Attorney's budgetary
savings. The budgetary savings were realized in 2015 (the City Attorney's budget was underspent by
$106,978) but the Laserfiche upgrade, Laserfiche Rio, was not purchased until 2016. The budget carryover
for the Laserfiche Rio purchase is thus proposed through this amendment.
DISCUSSION
The Council is being asked to approve these amendments so the adjustments can be recorded in the
accounting records and reflected in future financial reports. The amendments will be formally adopted
during the year -end budget amendment process in November.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to approve the proposed 2016 budget amendments and consider this item at
the March 28, 2016 Committee of the Whole, and April 4, 2016 Regular Council Meeting. The amendments
will be included in the year -end budget amendment ordinance.

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Finance and Safety Committee
FROM: Christy O'Flaherty, City Clerk, LaTricia Kinlow, Court Administrator, and
Tami Eberle- Harris, Database Systems Administrator
DATE: December 1, 2015
SUBJECT: Enterprise Document Management Solution: Laserfiche Rio
ISSUE
There is a critical need for governmental agencies and judicial branches to provide resources
toward advances in records management - to answer the public's call in responding to public
records requests and open government.
BACKGROUND
The City Clerk's Office acquired a basic Laserfiche system in 2001 which has been used to
develop a Digital Records Center (DRC) for online access by staff and the public. The system
is used daily by staff City -wide and allows for digital delivery of documents to the public, with 24
hour access.
DISCUSSION
Laserfiche Rio is the upgrade to the basic product and is a robust enterprise content, document
and Records Management system that provides a centralized records storage system for the
entire City. The Rio system offers separate repositories to allow full security for departments
such as the Court, Police, and Human Resources. The upgrade will also provide unlimited
public portal retrieval licenses through a web browser.
In the 14 years since the initial acquisition, few improvements have been made City -wide to
automate records processes to increase efficiency and to facilitate timely and thorough
responses to public records requests. Upgrading to the Rio solution will add vital new features
to the basic system, to include workflow functions that will send automatic reminders regarding
critical deadlines and allow for electronic approvals. The enhanced system will also include
Records Management capabilities for life cycle management of records from creation to final
disposition helping to ensure compliance with State retention laws.
The Laserfiche system is utilized both nationally and regionally as an effective tool in developing
records solutions for Police, Fire, DCD, Public Works, Human Resources, Finance and Court
records. Expertise developed in the Clerk's Office using the system for the past 14 years can
be leveraged to assist the advancement of other City departments. Washington agencies using
Laserfiche include and are not limited to Auburn, Renton, Edmonds, Port Angeles, Tumwater,
Port Angeles, Walla Walla, Spokane Valley, Longview, Bremerton, Thurston County, Cowlitz
County, and Skagit County.
As the Court staff explored requirements for the new OCourt System, they became aware that
the Renton Municipal Court uses the Laserfiche System. However, the Renton system has the
advanced features being requested in this proposal. The Renton Court staff manage and
access their court records electronically, creating time - saving efficiencies throughout the various
judicial processes. This presents an incredible opportunity for Tukwila, as Renton has already
completed the labor intensive steps to create workflow processes for court functions. They are
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
willing to share the scripts, programming, and instructions they have developed with Tukwila.
This collaborative relationship with Renton could move the Court forward quickly into effective
implementation, if upgrades to our system are acquired.
Moreover, with the implementation of GR31.1 as it relates to the administrative records of the
courts, the upgrade to the Laserfiche System will ease the impact of court records requests.
The new efficiencies provided by the Laserfiche upgrade will create more streamlined and
accurate processes in supporting both court case and administrative records.
The Technology Services (TS) Database Systems Administrator has been a key player in
reviewing the Laserfiche system upgrade and providing valuable input (see attached email).
Additionally, the City's Technology Council approved the acquisition of this upgrade at their
November 16, 2015 meeting.
The City Attorney has reviewed the proposal and composed the attached Resolution authorizing
sole source purchase of the upgrade.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Estimated Cost: $93,179.24 for Laserfiche Rio Upgrade to be part of the 2016 budget
amendment.
PRIORITIES ADDRESSED BY PROPOSAL
• Create and implement policies that support continued financial stability and sustainability
• Implement new methods to streamline processes creating alignment with Strategic Plan
• Continue to Create a More Effective Organization (Implement new methods to streamline
processes creating alignment with Strategic Plan Goal #4)
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to consider this item at the December 14, 2015 Committee of the
Whole meeting for discussion and the Special Meeting Consent Agenda that same evening.

F. Police Department Updates

lower back stress and injuries. A better option is the external vest carrier, which distributes the

to make these part of standard uniforms, but some officers are choosing to purchase them with
their own funds. INFORMATION ONLY.
