DATE ATTACHMENTS 03/28/16 Informational Memorandum dated 3/3/16 Ordinance in draft form Minutes from the 3/22/16 Finance and Safety Committee Meeting 04/04/16 71 72 City of Tukwila Allan Ekberg, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Ekberg Finance & Safety Committee FROM: Officer Lisa Harrison DATE: March 3, 2016 SUBJECT: Criminal Code Update Ordinance ISSUE A housekeeping ordinance is necessary to update the City's criminal code and to establish the crime of "making or possessing retail theft tools." BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION Many of the crimes that the Tukwila Police Department enforces are state statutes that are adopted by reference in Title 8 of the Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC), "Public Peace, Morals, and Safety." Those state statutes are re- codified by the state legislature from time to time and new crimes are adopted, so the City must pass update ordinances such as this one every few years to ensure that the TMC references the correct state statues and includes all of the state statutes that the Tukwila Police Department needs to be able to enforce. The draft ordinance also establishes a new TMC Chapter 8.40 to address the crime of "making or possessing retail theft tools." This code update will allow the Tukwila Police and City Prosecutor the ability to arrest and prosecute individuals who are caught committing this type of crime. There is no state law that the City can adopt by reference to prohibit making retail theft tools therefore, the draft ordinance creates a new local law that would be codified at TMC Chapter 8.40. FINANCIAL IMPACT The draft ordinance simply cleans up TMC Title 8 and provides more tools to the Tukwila Police Department so that officers can more effectively carry out the work they are already doing. RECOMMENDATION The Finance and Safety is being asked to forward the ordinance to the March 28, 2016 Committee of the Whole meeting, and then to the April 4, 2016 Regular City Council meeting for approval.
