Tukwila City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
August 1, 2016 Page 4 of 10
Bruce Linton, Deputy Police Chief, and Rachel Bianchi, Communications Manager, utilized a Powerpoint
presentation to summarize this issue.
How we got here:
Two efforts converged; Public Safety prioritized
• Identifying how to fully fund fire services in Tukwila has been an ongoing effort since 2010, and
included two lengthy processes investigating whether joining the Kent Regional Fire Authority was the
best option.
• At the direction of the City Council in 2012, the City has also engaged in a comprehensive review of
City facilities, which included fire facilities, resulting in the City of Tukwila Facilities Plan for Essential
Government Services.
• Public Safety was the top priority identified and, at the direction of the City Council, the Public Safety
Plan was developed in 2016 to address both fire and the broader public safety facilities deficiencies
identified by the Facilities Committee.
Details of the Public Safety Plan:
• 20 -year voter - approved Public Safety bond to pay for:
• Replacing three seismically- deficient fire stations
• Guaranteed funding for fire equipment and apparatus for the life of the bond
• New Justice Center to house Tukwila's Police Department and Municipal Court
• Consolidated Public Works shops facility to be paid for with an equal mix of General Fund and Utility
Funds, within the existing rate structure
Next Steps:
• Public Safety Bond — Council must act by August 1, 2016 to make the November 8, 2016 ballot; must
also decide pro /con committee makeup
• Public Works — 2017/2018 Budget process
• Bond Oversight Committee scope and representation to be finalized by the Council this summer

AT A SPECIAL ELECTION TO BE HELD IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE STATEWIDE
GENERAL ELECTION ON NOVEMBER 8, 2016, OF A PROPOSITION AUTHORIZING
THE CITY TO ISSUE ITS GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS FOR THE PURPOSE OF
PAYING A PORTION OF THE COST OF THE TUKWILA PUBLIC SAFETY PLAN, IN A
PRINCIPAL AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $77,385,000, PAYABLE BY ANNUAL
PROPERTY TAX LEVIES TO BE MADE IN EXCESS OF REGULAR PROPERTY TAX
LEVIES, AND TO LEVY THOSE EXCESS PROPERTY TAXES, ALL AS MORE
PARTICULARLY SET FORTH HEREIN; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND
ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
MOVED BY SEAL, SECONDED BY DUFFIE THAT THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE BE ADOPTED AS
READ.*
Councilmember Seal referenced page 59 of the agenda packet as it relates to changes in the "Financial
Oversight Committee" section of the ordinance. These changes reflect the discussion at the last Council
meeting.
Councilmember McLeod referenced the section in the "Financial Oversight Committee" portion of the
ordinance as it relates to a member being removed from the Committee for missing meetings. He
inquired if that was the only way a member could be removed from the Committee.
Rachel Turpin, City Attorney, said that while that appears to be the only basis for removal in the
ordinance, it is possible for the Council to develop procedural rules as part of the process at a later date.

Councilmember Hougardy suggested that there be consistency in the ordinance in that the word
"financial" appear in front of the words "oversight committee" throughout the ordinance.
MOVED BY HOUGARDY, SECONDED BY KRULLER TO AMEND THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE TO
ADD THE WORD "FINANCIAL" IN ALL INSTANCES IN FRONT OF THE WORDS "OVERSIGHT
COMMITTEE." MOTION CARRIED 7 -0 TO AMEND THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE.
Councilmember Quinn inquired regarding rules that reference that the Council cannot forego their
fiduciary responsibility in establishing a Financial Oversight Committee.
Ms. Turpin confirmed that the Financial Oversight Committee will report to the Council, and it will not
diminish the Council's fiduciary responsibility.
Councilmember Robertson expressed concern that years from now, it may be reasonable to disband the
Financial Oversight Committee as there will no longer be a need for it. Ms. Turpin said the Council could
adopt an ordinance to amend the existing ordinance to disband the committee.
*MOTION CARRIED 7 -0, TO ADOPT ORDINANCE NUMBER 2509 AS AMENDED.
b. Authorize the approval of Pro /Con Committees to place a public safety bond on the November
8, 2016 General Election ballot to fund the replacement of three seismically- unsound fire stations,
guarantee funding for fire equipment and apparatus for the life of the bond, and construct a new
Justice Center to house the Tukwila Police Department and Municipal Court.
Ms. Bianchi provided an overview of this topic. King County Elections requires that jurisdictions putting
local measures on the ballot must identify the names of individuals to be on the Pro and Con committees
associated with a ballot measure. The City can only submit three names for each committee, although an
unlimited number can assist the committees in preparing the statements. The City advertised that
interested persons should submit their names to the City, and that the Council would make the final
determination.
Interested parties for the committees are as follows:
Pro Committee:
• Katrina Dohn
• Jim Haggerton
• Ed Hougardy
• Kathleen Wilson
Con Committee:
• Mark Cohen
• Charles Tyson
Councilmember Hougardy recused herself from the discussion, as her husband is a candidate for
the Pro Committee.
Councilmember Quinn suggested that the Pro Committee be comprised of Katrina Dohn, Jim Haggerton,
and Kathleen Wilson. All of these individuals are very qualified, and the City is fortunate to have these 4
names before us.
Council President Duffie concurred with Councilmember Quinn and expressed the highest regard for Ed
Hougardy and his good work in the City. Mr. Duffie conveyed that it would be best to have the Pro
Committee members not be related to Councilmembers. He also feels that Mr. Hougardy is so committed
to Tukwila that he would understand and accept this decision gracefully.

I. PRESENTATIONS
II. BUSINESSAGENDA
A. Purchase of Cellebrite Data Extraction Technology
Staff is seeking Committee approval to purchase the Cellebrite UFED 4PC software and Cloud
Solutions Set for a total amount of $31,904, which includes renewals, shipping and training.
Funds are available from the asset forfeiture budget. Cell phones and electronic devices tend to
figure prominently in criminal activity and Cellebrite is commonly used for recovering data in
criminal investigations. Tukwila has had to rely on neighboring agencies, state labs and other
resources for these investigations and owning this technology in house will increase efficiency.
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.
B. Resolution: Adopting a Charter of the Public Safety Bond Financial Oversight Committee
Staff is seeking Council approval of a resolution that would adopt a Charter for a Public Safety
Bond Financial Oversight Committee that would be established if voters approve the Public
Safety Bond ballot measure on November 8, 2016. The Charter includes sections on Purpose,
Responsibilities, Structure, Appointment Process, Bylaws, Meetings, City Support, Ethics, and
Termination. The Committee discussed the proposal and decided that the Oversight Committee
should initially include five members comprising two residents, two business representatives,
and one at -large member that can be either of those categories, or someone from a non - profit
agency working in the community. This change may also require an amendment to the enacting
Ordinance. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO SEPTEMBER 26, 2016 COMMITTEE OF THE
WHOLE.
