The City has been investigating how to ensure full funding for fire service in the City of Tukwila, as well as replacing the seismi- cally unsound and inefficient Public Safety facilities that include three fire stations and the Public Works Shops. It Ts critical in the event of a major earthquake, flood or other disaster that these first responders are able to deploy throughout the City. In addition, these aging facilities were constructed at a time when the City had Less than one -fifth of its current population and required significantly less services and employees to meet the community's needs. Finally, modern standards and mandates have made the existing fire stations, City shops, Municipal Court and Police Department obsolete. What is the plan to address the public safety needs in the City of Tukwila? The City is proposing a voter - approved public safety bond that will fund three fire stations, fully fund fire equipment and appa- ratus for the next twenty years and ajustice center to house the Police Department and Municipal Court. In addition, the City will construct a consolidated Public Works shops paid through an equal combination of general fund and utility rates within the existing rate structure.

Speed Reduction in Neighborhoods of Tukwila (SPRINT) Police staff updated the Committee on current efforts to address speeding in residential neighborhoods. A committee with representatives from the Mayor's Office, Public Works and the Police Department worked together to identify strategies in the categories of education, engineering, and enforcement. This effort will use existing resources, but if successful, approximately $122,000 will be requested in 2017 to continue the program. Revenues generated from enforcement are expected to be around $116,000 between 2016 and 2017 so the additional budget will be significantly offset. INFORMATION ONLY. C. Draft Facilities Outreach Plan Staff presented a draft facilities outreach plan to the Committee. At the Council Work Session on April 11, 2016, the Council discussed presenting the following two options to the public on addressing public safety facilities: 1) A public safety voter approved bond including a justice center to house police and courts, replacement of three fire stations, and full funding of fire apparatus and equipment. The City would fund replacement of George Long and Minkler shops with 63/20 financing and /or LTGO bonds and half through enterprise funds. 2) A public safety voter approved bond including a justice center to house police and courts, replacement of three fire stations, full funding of fire apparatus and equipment, and half of the shops replacement. The other half of shops would be funded through enterprise funds. The Committee reviewed the proposed key messages, tactics, and timeline, and made suggestions to emphasize public safety improvements and the fact that daily operations are at stake, not just major disaster concerns. The Committee also suggested providing examples of what must be sacrificed if more construction funding comes from the general fund. Additional tactics could include Mayor /Superintendent "Leaders at the Links," faith community, grocery stores, event booths, Google ads, and outreach by Council. Councilmembers and staff discussed the pros and cons of promoting two scenarios versus one, and suggested the Community Affairs and Parks Committee discuss this further when it reviews the outreach plan on April 26. The Finance and Safety Committee will continue to review and discuss funding options in preparation for a recommendation to the full Council. DISCUSSION ONLY. D. Draft 2017 -2018 Budget Outreach Plan Staff presented a draft outreach plan regarding the City's 2017 -2018 budget. The Committee reviewed the proposed key messages, tactics, and timeline. Outreach for the budget will be concentrated primarily in May, freeing time in June for facilities outreach. Councilmember Robertson, noting the importance of the public outreach on facilities, suggested scaling back the tactics regarding the budget to avoid over communication. Councilmember Kruller would like the educational materials to use eye- catching graphics. Chair Seal suggested adding a public event following the Mayor's formal delivery of the budget and before the public hearing. 89
