•• INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Finance and Safety Committee
FROM: Joseph Todd, Director of Technology Services
BY: Michael Marcum, Senior Technology Services Specialist
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: 06/15/2016
SUBJECT: New FTE position, Technology Services Systems Administrator
(Updated after FS meeting as shown below)
ISSUE
Consideration of funding to increase the half-time position to full-time (FTE).
BACKGROUND
A half-time position was approved in December 2015 to support the Police Department in the
implementation and support of the new Spillman Records Management System.
DISCUSSION
Technology Services, in conjunction, with the Police Department has conducted two separate
rounds of interviews to fill the half-time position without finding a desirable candidate. It can be
difficult to secure qualified staff support for part-time positions. Approval for a full-time position
is critical in securing staff to support this vital system, as well as, other statement of work critical
the mission of the Police Department. Because this is moving from a part time position to a full
time position, analysis was conducted to potentially source the Spillman and PD work. This is a
highly specialized Scope of Work, and the rates we got back from 3 vendors ranged from $150
to $180 per hour. This would significantly impact our professional services budget, and our
overall IT budget given we are currently putting forth several initiatives to transform TS
capabilities for the employees and citizens of Tukwila.
The Council is being asked to consider the following:
• Upgrade from half to full-time position
The half-time position was created through council's approval of the Police Records
Management System on 12/7/15, see attached meeting minutes.
• Move position from Police Department to Technology Services
• Re-allocate half-time Police funding to start next calendar year
Position funding will be provided by the Police Department through the remainder of the year,
with future budgeting done through the biennial budget process.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
$113,550 — $131,799 annually, including benefits. (Recommended)
SOURCED FINANCIAL IMPACT
$312,000 —$374,000 annually, no benefits.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to consider this item at the July 11, 2016 Committee of the Whole
meeting and subsequent July 18, 2016 Regular meeting.

the City has a good bid price for the demolition and does not want to risk letting that bid expire such that
the demolition cost would probably be higher in the future.
This additional cost risk came to light last week when City staff inspected the building with 4Culture and
Tukwila's Building Official and Fire Marshal. At that time there was a better understanding of the damage
to the building from the seizure, two years of sitting unoccupied, significant dry rot, damage to the fire
sprinkler system, and plumbing problems. Upon review, it was determined the repairs would likely be too
expensive. The recommendation is that the City include the Traveler's Choice in the demolition contract.
This will require a $150,000 expenditure from next year's budget.
Bob Giberson, Public Works Director, explained that Schedule A in the amount of$470,247.75 is for the
demolition of three motels (Great Bear, Boulevard, Spruce) and Sam Smoke Shop, and Schedule B in the
amount of$132,779.70 is for the demolition of Traveler's Choice for a total of$603,027.45.
(2) Award a bid to Construction Group International, LLC, for building demolition for the Tukwila
International Boulevard Redevelopment Project (demolition of the Boulevard, Great Bear, Spruce
and Traveler's Choice Motels and Sam Smoke Shop) in the amount of$603,027.45 (plus
contingency), and authorize the Mayor to sign the contract.
MOVED BY SEAL, SECONDED BY KRULLER TO AWARD A BID TO CONSTRUCTION GROUP
INTERNATIONAL, LLC, FOR BUILDING DEMOLITION FOR THE TUKWILA INTERNATIONAL
BOULEVARD REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT(DEMOLITION OF THE BOULEVARD,GREAT BEAR,
SPRUCE AND TRAVELER'S CHOICE MOTELS AND SAM SMOKE SHOP) IN THE AMOUNT OF
$603,027.45 (PLUS CONTINGENCY), AND AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO SIGN THE CONTRACT.
MOTION CARRIED 7-0.
d. Authorize the Mayor to sign the 2015 Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) grant
agreement from the U.S. Department of Justice in the amount of$250,000.00.
MOVED BY HOUGARDY, SECONDED BY KRULLER TO AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR TO SIGN THE

e. Authorize the Mayor to sign a purchase and license agreement with Spillman Technologies,
Inc.,for purchase and maintenance of the Sentryx product as the new Police Records
Management System and related support and services in an amount not to exceed $1,070,466.00

budget amendment).

$720,466.00 ALLOCATED THROUGH A BUDGET AMENDMENT).*
Based on questions by the Council, staff reiterated that a part-time person will be hired for a 12-18 month
period to help with the technology-related functions associated with the implementation of the new
system.

and Washington State has the most clients.

1 PRESENTATIONS
11. BUSINESS AGENDA
There was consensus to consider the 1st Quarter Finance reports as the first items of business.
A. 2016 First Quarter Sates Tax and Miscellaneous Revenue Report
Staff presented the 2016 First Quarter Sales Tax and Miscellaneous Revenue Report, including
details on retail sales tax, gambling tax, and admissions tax revenues with sale tax broken out by
industry classifications. Total sales tax collections for the 1st quarter were $82,000, or 2 %, above
those for the same period last year. Construction sates tax is up 12% compared with the same
period last year, and sales tax from other industries is up 1 %. INFORMATION ONLY.
B. 2016 First Quarter Cash and Investment Report
Staff presented the 1st Quarter Cash and Investment Report for 2016, including information on
the City's portfolio components, performance, policy compliance and liquidity analysis, fund
cash and investment balances, and investment environment. At March 31, 2016, the portfolio
totaled $52.6 million. comprising $38.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and $14.1 in longer
term investments. The portfolio balance increased by $1.9 million from the December 31, 2015
balance. INFORMATION ONLY.
C. Technology Services System Administrator Position
Staff is seeking Council approval to move a position from the Police Department to Technology
Services and increase it from half -time to full -time. The position was originally created and
approved in December 2015 to support the Police Department in the implementation and
support of the Spillman Records Management System. Staff has been unable to find a qualified
candidate interested in the part time position and, with new leadership in the TS department,
there has been a reassessment of need. If approved, the position will be used for implementation
and support of Spillman as planned, but also provide support for the other technology needs in
the Police Department over time. The Police Department will fund this position through the

Finance and Safety Committee Minutes July 6, 2016
remainder of 2016 using the money allocated for the half -time position. There is currently a
backlog relating to PD technology due to inadequate staffing. Spillman deployment is expected
to occur in early October. Councilmember Kruller asked about the option of contracting this
support as she observes in other organizations. Staff replied that Spillman does not offer this
option, and there are challenges associated with contracting considering the rigorous
background requirements of the PD. Councilmember Kruller requested a cost comparison of the
proposed position versus contracting for service. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO JULY
11, 2016 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE WITH REQUESTED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
D. Proposed Budget Schedule
Staff provided an update to the process and timeline for review and adoption of the 2017 -2018
Biennial Budget and Capital Improvement Plan, last approved by the Committee in April.
Budget preparation work is well underway, but the schedule has been modified to have
Enterprise funds before Committees in July and Capital Projects in August. Budget components
will go through Administration, standing Committee and C.O.W. /workshop review, where they
will receive direction on changes or consensus to return for final adoption. The Committee
approved the revised schedule, but recommended that budget components should be presented
as early as they are ready.
Staff also updated the Committee on a proposal to overhaul Attachment A by developing a new
planning model that is flexible and user.- friendly. Preliminary conversations have been held with
Berk, as they developed the model used for the Public Safety Plan. Berk is interested in
partnering with the City on this project. Staff would like to develop a committee to begin this
project with the hope of beta testing this tool with the 2017 -2018 budget process. The Committee
expressed support for this proposal. COMMITTEE APPROVAL.
111. MISCELLANEOUS
Next steps on Public Safety Plan
The full Council was briefed on the outreach effort at the July 5 Regular Meeting. Outreach is
continuing, with tours of the Police Department and Court provided to employees on July 6, and
visits to COPCAB, TIBAC and Valley View Sewer District upcoming. Ballot language is being drafted,
and an article to solicit pro -con committee members will be in the July Tukwila Reporter. Chair Seal
noted that the plan for Council review will include a public hearing on July 18, discussion at the July
25 Committee of the Whole, and potential adoption on August 1. Committee members discussed
the structure and role of a bond oversight committee and would like for those positions to be
Council- appointed. They will also be seeking advice from the City Attorney on advocacy by
Councilmembers assuming a vote to place the measure on the ballot.
