Benefits across King County
• Double transit ridership
• Triple the percentage of people close to frequent service
• Commuters who take transit increased from 14% to 24%
• Metro buses arrive at the Link light rail stations event 1.5 minutes
• In low- income or minority areas, 85% of residents will be close to frequent transit service and the
opportunities transit brings
Key Transit Issues in Tukwila
• Transit should support North Tukwila industrial jobs
• Frequent service
• Longer service span
• Frequent connections to Link light rail stations
• Service to Sounder station and nearby office and mixed -use development
• Frequent transit service to support growth along Tukwila International Boulevard and around
Southcenter
• Frequent connections to South Seattle, Georgetown, and West Seattle
Tukwila City Council Committee of the Whole Minutes

Metro Connects — Tukwila's Input
• In the Metro Connects draft 2040 service network, North Tukwila and the Boeing Access Road
Station become a hub for very frequent bus service.
• The proposed frequent route 1047 would serve the Tukwila International Boulevard corridor every
10 minutes and connect to several Link stations on the trip from Rainier Beach to Federal Way.
• The proposed frequent route 1049 would serve Interurban Avenue and Southcenter every 10
minutes and connect to two Link stations on the trip from Rainier Beach to Kent.
• The proposed frequent route 1088 would serve East Marginal Way and Boeing every 10 minutes
and connect to four Link stations on the trip from Seattle to Renton.
Service you can count on
• Investments to help buses run faster and stay on schedule:
o Bus lanes, signal priority, off -board ORCA card readers
0 600 miles of roadway investments for all service types
o Significant expansion to Metro's capital program
o Requires strong partnerships with cities
The Nuts and Bolts
Our people: Substantially grown Metro workforce to support the expansion of service
• A fleet for the future: Purchase more than 500 new buses and vans to support the higher levels of
service
• Trolley network: Grow the trolley network by expanding and infilling overhead wires
• Layover areas: Increase bus layover space by 50%
• Bus bases and support facilities: Add two to three new bus bases and invest in additional support
services and facilities.
Implementing the Vision
• The transit system will require substantial capital and service investments
• Strengthen partnerships with cities, stakeholders and other transportation providers
• Work with cities to ensure improvements are a good fit for each community
• Long -range plan to support local planning and identify complementary transit service

The Councilmembers provided the following comments on the presentation: In addition to the King
County Metro Long -Range Plan there is also a King County Metro Strategic Plan; The City continues to
hear about the lack of parking at the Interurban Avenue South Park -n -Ride lot; Tukwila is in the middle of
several transit centers and hopefully the proposed plan will address some of the related issues; The
collaboration between the South King County cities and King County Metro on the plan is greatly
appreciated; and As the population in South King County grows, allowing transit- oriented development
near a transit center will increase the demand for transit services.
Council President Duffie commented that in addition to the parking issue on Interurban, the City is also
experiencing issues of excessive trash and !oitering at the Link Light Rail Station (at the intersection of
Southcenter Boulevard and Tukwila International Boulevard).
b. 2015 Fourth Quarter Financial Report.
Councilmember Seal stated the Finance and Safety Committee recently had a preview of the following
presentation.
Tukwila City Council Committee of the Whole Minutes
May 9, 2016 Page 3 of 10
Peggy McCarthy, Finance Director, thanked the Council for the opportunity to present the City's 2015
annual financial results. Ms. McCarthy utilized a PowerPoint presentation and read from the following
summary:
2015 financial highlights included: additional investments in public safety, revenue growth, healthy fund
balances, reserve policy compliance and departmental expenditures within budget.
Goal one of the City's Strategic Plan reads "a community of inviting neighborhoods and vibrant business
districts." Within that goal, the City is guided to "build a broad and collaborative approach to preventing
crime and increasing the sense of safety." Under Council guidance, the City increased its investment in
public safety over the past three years. The Tukwila Police Department was fully staffed in 2015 with a
workforce of 93. That is 10 more police staff than were on the force at the end of 2011.
Two additional properties were purchased on Tukwila International Boulevard and all the Urban Renewal
Project structures have been demolished. Over $6 million has been invested in the Tukwila International
Boulevard Redevelopment Project. The impact has been significant, with crime at a multiple year low.
Additionally, the Council authorized and the Tukwila Fire Department was able to fill three firefighter
pipeline positions in 2015.
In 2015, General Fund ongoing revenues were strong, coming in at $58 million and exceeding 2014 by
$2.9 million or 5 %. Retail sales tax revenue, reaching an 8 year high, at $19 million, was $2 million more
than 2014. Construction sales tax represented $1.2 million of the total, accounting for a $436,000
increase. Real Estate Excise Tax (REST) revenue of $2.4 million far exceeded expectations; the windfall
was derived largely from the December sale of a $220 million business park. The REET funds will help
finance certain planned capital improvement projects in the Arterial Street Fund and the Park and Land
Acquisition fund.
The City has remained in compliance with its Reserve Policy. With Council guidance and approval, the
Reserve Policy requirements were increased during the year. The General Fund minimum fund balance
threshold was increased from 10% to 18% and an additional reserve was established to set aside 10% of
one -time revenue. The ending General Fund balance of $11.4 million exceeded the Reserve Policy
requirement by over $1.5 million. The Contingency Fund balance also met the reserve requirements.
Departmental expenditures came in under budget. The additional budget allocated to the Police and Fire
departments through the mid - biennial budget amendment process was offset by the savings in other
departments, as was expected and as was reflected in the budget amendment.
Actual departmental expenditures came within 1 % of the original budget and the amended budget.
The original budget, established approximately two year ago, set the departmental expenditures at $51.5
million. Through the August and November budget amendment process, an additional $981,000 was
authorized, and of that additional budget only $430,000 was used. The ending $51.9 million of
department expenditures was 1.8% less than the authorized amended budget.
Of the $52 million in departmental expenditures, the Police and Fire Departments combined represent
55% of the total expenditures. By adding Public Works, the total investment in public safety reaches 67%
of the City's total budget. The General Fund revenue of $58 million is comprised mostly of taxes at $43
million. Sales tax brings in 33% of the revenue, followed by property tax at 25 %.
Highlights of activities in other governmental funds include:
• The purchase of two additional properties along Tukwila International Boulevard: the Spruce
Motel and Sam Smoke Shop.
• Issuance of $5.8 million in bonds through the City's first competitive bond sale for the Interurban
Avenue South Improvement Project and the retrofit project for the Boeing Access Road Bridge.
• Work continued on the Tukwila Urban Center Pedestrian /Bicycle Bridge Project, with design and
right -of -way acquisition.
• Excavation and site work began on the Duwamish Gardens Project.
• The Thorndyke and Cascade View "Safe Routes to School" Projects, Phase 1, were completed.

The enterprise funds also performed well in 2015, with activities generating additional fund balance for
each of the utility funds. However, the impact of implementing a new accounting rule, Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement 68, reduced the unrestricted fund balance of each of
these funds. GASB 68 requires the City to reflect its proportionate share of the pension fund unfunded
pension liability in the City's financial statements. Additionally, in December the 2006 utilities revenue
bond was refunded, yielding debt service savings of over $580,000. The Water and Sewer Fund
balances will be used for improvements to the Tukwila Urban Center infrastructure, among other projects.
The Internal Service Funds also performed well. The Equipment Rental and Replacement Fund (fleet)
added $1.3 million in equipment and ended the year with a $4.8 million fund balance. Both the employee
and retiree healthcare plans had fewer claims than expected in 2015, and ended the year with fund
balances of $2 million and $775,000 respectively.
The 2016 Outlook. The local economy remains strong. However, growth is projected to slow in 2016. The
latest forecast from the King County Economist indicates a declining assessed valuation growth rate of:
• 10% in 2016
0 811/0 in 2017
• 5% in 2018
The growth rates of local retail sales taxes are also expected to decline from.
• 5% in 2016
• 4% in 2017
• 3% in 2018
Globally, oil and the potential of the softening economy in China remain flashpoints which could disrupt
economic stability. The City will continue to monitor economic events, giving attention to those that
could impact the City's finances. Through adherence to a strong and sound reserve policy, continued
focus on financial fundamentals, and prudent use of City resources, all aligned with the City's strategic
goals, the outlook for the City remains positive.
The Councilmembers asked clarifying questions of staff and exchanged comments to include: The
information presented was comprehensive, and while the City is doing well, there is a shortage of funds
for actual capital improvements; The detailed reports show that the City does not always receive the
entire amount budgeted for sales tax mitigation payments; The City is required to fund mandates; and
Appreciation was expressed for the contingency fund balance.
Councilmember Seal stated the Finance and Safety Committee will be reviewing the departmental
expenditures. She explained the committee review will give them an opportunity to better understand the
expenditures, so the Council is equipped to explain the information to members of the community.
CITIZEN COMMENTS
Pam Carter, 4115 South 1391h Street is a member of the Tukwila International Boulevard Action
Committee ( TIBAC). Ms. Carter provided a set of photographs that show the trash along the Tukwila
International Boulevard corridor. TIBAC has drafted a proposal for City consideration related to the
requirements for obtaining a business license. The proposal would require the business to collect and
dispose of any trash, litter, or garbage on the exterior of the business premises, including the public
sidewalk adjacent to their business. Ms. Carter stated the next TIBAC meeting will be held on May 3,
2016 at the Valley View Sewer Office, and the next trash collection day will be held on May 28, 2016.
Relating to online surveys and polling, Ms. Carter stated that the .Association of Washington Cities (AWC)
has electronic polling tools the City could borrow for the upcoming outreach events.
Dennis Martinez, 4660 South 1601h Street, acknowledged the quick response by the Tukwila Police and
Fire Departments at an attempted arson at St. Thomas Church during the early morning on Sunday,

PUBLIC HEARING
Page 5 of 10
Four ordinances for housekeeping code amendments to Titles 17, 18, 19 and 21 of the Tukwila
Municipal Code.
Staff is seeking Council approval of four ordinances that would amend the Zoning, Subdivision and Plats,
Environmental Regulations and Sign Code titles of the Tukwila Municipal Code to incorporate a variety of
housekeeping amendments. A Public Hearing is required for these types of code amendments.
8:17 p.m. Council President Duff ie opened the public hearing.
Minnie Dhaliwal, Planning Supervisor, explained the Council is being asked to consider housekeeping
code changes to the Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC). The proposed code amendments range from
clarification of definitions to updating regulations based on changes to Washington State Law. Ms.
Dhaliwal referenced page 89 of the agenda packet in relation to the following proposed code
amendments:
PROPOSED TITLE 18 (ZONING) CODE AMENDMENTS:
• Add an Assisted Living Facility definition and list it as a permitted /conditional use where
convalescent center use is allowed and consider assisted living facility for seniors similar to a
senior citizen housing.
• Delete the list of permitted uses in each separate zoning district chapter and create a new
chapter with a Zoning Code Use Matrix.
• Incorporate code interpretations in the Tukwila Municipal Code to include: Alternate Fuel Stations
are treated similarly to other automotive services; Arenas are a permitted use in Tukwila Urban
Center (TUC) -TOD; Townhouses are not limited to four - plexes in High Density Residential (HDR)
zone.
• With the adoption of the new Tukwila Urban Center zoning height limits, a few existing buildings
that are taller than 45 feet became non- conforming. This results in some unintended
consequences for the owners for insurance purposes. Amend the code to "grandfather" in pre-
existing buildings that are taller than 45 feet.
• Clarify single family dwelling design standards, such as the minimum roof pitch of 5:12 applies to
accessory structures such as detached garages that require a building permit.
• The housekeeping code amendments adopted in 2009 addressed the recommendations by the
Washington Cities Insurance Authority (WCIA) relating to the use of a Hearing Examiner for
quasi - judicial land use decisions. The procedures section of the TMC still references the
outdated process and is inconsistent with the amended procedures updated in 2009. The
proposed amendment would correct the inconsistencies.
• Update the Zoning Code variance criteria to include a criteria that variances are not permitted
when the undue hardship is created by the actions of the applicant. This is standard in other
municipal codes but is only listed under the purpose section of the Tukwila Municipal Code.
PROPOSED TITLE 17 (SUBDIVISIONS AND PLATS) CHANGES
• State law was amended to allow seven years for a preliminary subdivision to receive final
approval. The TMC states five years. Amend Tukwila Municipal Code to make it consistent with
State Law.
PROPOSED TITLE 21 (ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS) CHANGES
• Update TMC Sections 21.04.110 and 21.04.152 to be consistent with updated State law
provisions related to SEPA rules. The Department of Ecology has updated the SEPA rules,
resulting in some incorrect references in the TMC.
• Revise the ordinance to track development proposals in the Tukwila Urban Center. A Supplemental
EIS (SEIS) prepared in 2014 focused on potential impacts associated with increased intensity of
Tukwila City Council Committee of the Whole Minutes
May 9, 2016 Page 6 of 10
development proposed for Tukwila's Urban Center, as established in the Southcenter Subarea Plan.
Future project- specific development proposals that are consistent with the Southcenter Subarea
Plan, new Tukwila Urban Center (TUC) development regulations, and the SETS do not require
individual SEPA review and cannot be challenged administratively or judicially pursuant to SEPA.
This provides certainty and predictability for urban development proposals by streamlining the
environmental review process within the subarea and encouraging the goals of SEPA and the
State's Growth Management Act. The City's SEPA ordinance must be revised to include a
process for tracking projects that meet the criteria and are exempt from SEPA.
• Update the plans listed under TMC Section 21.04.270. The list references old plans such as the
1995 Comprehensive Plan; Parks and Open Space Plan adopted by Ordinance 1315, etc.
PROPOSED TITLE 19 (SIGN CODE) CHANGES
• Remove references to political signs and any other content -based language in light of the
Supreme Court's ruling on Reed v. Town of Gilbert, where the court ruled that content -based
regulations such as different regulations for political signs are unconstitutional.
• Planning Commission recommended that some of the language that was removed as part of
repealing the political signs section, such as no signs can be installed without the property
owners' permission, be incorporated elsewhere in Title 19.
• Update TMC Section 19.20.050 to clarify that the allowable area for incentive signage is 50% of
the maximum otherwise allowed.
• Add language to provide the Director flexibility to provide permit extensions longer than 30 days.
• Allow one additional building - mounted sign for multi- tenant complexes which do not qualify for the
Master Sign program.
• Revise the maximum size requirements for fuel canopy signs from a maximum of 5 square feet to
10 square feet or one third of the area of the canopy, whichever is less.
• Allow the signage for one sign on a premise to be split into two signs under the Master Sign
Program.
Council President Duffie called for public comments.
Kevin McNulty, 2810 Eastlake Avenue East, Seattle, stated that he is present this evening to speak on
the proposed amendments to Title 19, "Sign and Visual Communication Code." Mr. McNulty distributed a
handout that depicted the recent fagade improvements that were completed in late 2015. He explained
that the proposed Sign Code amendments would allow the property owners to expand the signage at the
shopping center. Mr. McNulty thanked City staff for their work on the proposed code amendments.
8:40 p.m. Council President Duffie closed the public hearing.
8:42 p.m. Councilmember Quinn exited the Council Chambers.

provision be removed from the draft lease. Following that meeting, City Administration
continued to discuss the proposed 30 -day provision. Following those discussions, City
Administration has recommended that the language be removed. While this termination

language is standard in contracts, Administration believes that it is low risk to remove the
language, and the Council received a memo from the City Attorney's Office on this issue.
j. Liability Insurance
City Administration recommends the lease agreement be approved with the removal of the 30 -day
provision.
