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.
