INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Finance and Safety Committee
FROM: Peggy McCarthy, Finance Director
BY: Laurie Anderson, Fiscal Specialist
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: September 28, 2016
SUBJECT: Cancellation of Accounts Receivable
ISSUE
Each year a resolution comes before the Council for the cancellation of uncollectible accounts
receivable. For 2016, these items include: False Alarms equaling $411.07, Miscellaneous
Billings equaling $46,724.68 and Returned Checks equaling $544.71 in the total amount of
$47,680.46.
BACKGROUND
The process for tracking accounts receivable is quite thorough. The steps below are followed
prior to preparation of the attached write-off resolution.
• Invoice is sent to recipient by the Finance Department payable in 30 days.
• If payment is not received within 30 days, the receivable is forwarded to our collection
agency, Armada Corp., and placed into pre-collect status.
• At this time, Armada sends a Delinquency Notice to debtor notifying them of the past-due
status of the receivable and asks them to contact the City to make payment. Payments
can still be made directly to the City while in pre-collect status.
• Once 30 days have passed in pre-collect status, the receivable then rolls over to active
collections. At the onset of active collections, a letter is sent to the debtor notifying them
of the status change and advising that all payments must now be made through the
collection agency.
• While in active collections, debtor is contacted both by phone and letter. A search is made
for assets with which the debt could be satisfied. Once the debt has been in active
collections for 45 days, it is then reported to the national credit bureaus.
• The last process in the collections cycle is the pursuit of legal action. This includes
attaching checking accounts, garnishments and lawsuits.
• The City will not issue or renew a business license until all outstanding debt owed to the
City is paid.
• It should be noted that while a debt may be written off of our books; it is still active in
Armada's collection process.

INFORMATIONAL MEMO

DISCUSSION
The proposed amount of the 2016 cancellation of Accounts Receivable of $47,680.46 is higher
than last year's total of $27,887.91. This is attributable to the following factors:
• There are two write -offs totaling $26,760.03 resulting from Hit and Run incidents where the
responsible party is unknown. These make up 56% of the write -offs for this year. These
damages are not covered by Washington Cities Insurance Authority.
• There are three additional write -offs for damages to City property that total $11,399.93.
These also were not covered by Washington Cities Insurance Authority as none met our
$5,000.00 deductible threshold. The responsible parties had no insurance, were DUI or
Driving While License Suspended. These write -offs comprise 23.9% of this year's write -
offs.
The last write -off of note is for $7,678.36. It involves an auto accident resulting in the City
needing to repair a signal head and install a new jersey barrier. Our charges are
currently being disputed by Geico Insurance, the driver's insurance company. While we
may still see payment of this debt, in order to not overstate our Accounts Receivable on
the balance sheet, we have chosen to include this receivable with this year's write -offs.
This receivable is 16.1 % of this year's write -offs.
• In all, 96% of our write -offs are from the above -noted items.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The financial impact of cancelling $47,680.46 will be to reduce our accounts receivable balance
by this amount in keeping with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for the writing
off of bad debt. Again note that while we are writing off the accounts receivable for accounting
purposes, the accounts are still being actively worked for collection purposes with the exception
of those accounts where a responsible party cannot be identified. Accounts covered by
bankruptcy law cannot be pursued.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to approve the annual resolution authorizing the cancellation of
Accounts Receivable and to forward this item to the Consent Agenda of the October 17, 2016
Regular Meeting.

I. PRESENTATIONS
11. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Interlocal Agreement: South King County Fire Training Consortium
Staff is seeking Council approval of an interlocal agreement to continue participation in the
South King County Fire Training Consortium in the amount of $52,108.00 for a term from January
1, 2017 through December 31, 2019. Participation in the Consortium has continued to be
beneficial to the Fire Department and to the City. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO
OCTOBER 10, 2016 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
B. Resolution: Orderine the Cancellation of Past Due Accounts Receivable
Staff is seeking Council approval of the annual resolution that would declare the cancellation of
uncollectible accounts receivable. The total for this year includes false alarm fees equaling
$411.07, miscellaneous billings equaling $46,724.68 and NSF checks equaling $544.71 for a total
of $47,680.46. Councilmember Robertson asked for additional detail regarding the fire re-
inspection fees at Amara Pointe Apartments back in 2013. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD
TO OCTOBER 17, 2016 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA.
C. Lodging Tax Approval Process
Staff is seeking Council approval of a proposed process for approval of lodging tax applications.
The City collects a 1% excise tax on overnight lodging stays which can be spent on tourism
promotion if approved by the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC) and the City Council. The
Washington State Attorney General recently issued an informal opinion that municipalities could
change the dollar amounts recommended by the lodging tax advisory committee if the advisory
committee is given 45 days' notice before the City Council takes final action. This differs from
past interpretation of state law and Tukwila's practice in which the Council only approved or
denied recommendations from LTAC.

SUBJECT: Interlocal Agreement with the South King County Fire Training Consortium
ISSUE
The Interlocal Agreement with the SKCFTC will expire at the end of 2016. The department
seeks renewal of this agreement for 2017.
BACKGROUND
The department is an active participant in the SKCFTC. The department has benefitted from the
quality and consistency of training associated with this relationship. The department is
responsible for providing 1.5 FTE's to the Consortium. In addition to the provision of FTE's, the
department is responsible for an agency cost /contribution that is based upon a formula that
takes into account the value of the FTE contribution, annual cost of training per member, and
peripheral costs for records management software and support. In 2016 the total contribution for
the department was $17,140.00. Tukwila's contribution was not adjusted upward per the
formula, due to ongoing negotiations related to the potential for the department to join the Kent
Regional Fire Authority. In 2017 the department will be invoiced at full responsibility based upon
the formula.
DISCUSSION
Department participation in the South King County Fire Training Consortium ensures the
continuity of the highest quality of training and related services that our staff have ever
experienced in the history of the department. A 2014 voluntary audit of the program by
Washington State Labor and Industries revealed that the program was in full compliance with
training laws and standards. As a stand -alone department internal division, previous to our
participation, it would have been difficult if not impossible to have passed such an audit. The
City Attorney has reviewed the Interlocal Agreement, and is in concurrence with adopting the
language as written, without revisions or edits.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The financial impact is $52,108.00, an increase of $34,968.00 over 2015 costs. The increase
will be absorbed within existing budget through the redistribution of existing funds.
RECOMMENDATION
Continue participation in the South King County Fire Training Consortium. The department is
asking for Council approval of the Interlocal Agreement and consideration at the October 10,
2016 C.O.W. and October 17, 2016 Regular Meeting.

A. Interlocal Aereement: South King Countv Fire Training Consortium
Staff is seeking Council approval of an interlocal agreement to continue participation in the
South King County Fire Training Consortium in the amount of $52,108.00 for a term from January
1, 2017 through December 31, 2019. Participation in the Consortium has continued to be
beneficial to the Fire Department and to the City. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO
OCTOBER 10, 2016 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
B. Resolution: Ordering the Cancellation of Past Due Accounts Receivable
Staff is seeking Council approval of the annual resolution that would declare the cancellation of
uncollectible accounts receivable. The total for this year includes false alarm fees equaling
$411.07, miscellaneous billings equaling $46,724.68 and NSF checks equaling $544.71 for a total
of $47,680.46. Councilmember Robertson asked for additional detail regarding the fire re-
inspection fees at Amara Pointe Apartments back in 2013. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD
TO OCTOBER 17, 2016 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA.
C. Lodging Tax Approval Process
Staff is seeking Council approval of a proposed process for approval of lodging tax applications.
The City collects a 1% excise tax on overnight lodging stays which can be spent on tourism
promotion if approved by the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC) and the City Council. The
Washington State Attorney General recently issued an informal opinion that municipalities could
change the dollar amounts recommended by the lodging tax advisory committee if the advisory
committee is given 45 days' notice before the City Council takes final action. This differs from
past interpretation of state law and Tukwila's practice in which the Council only approved or
denied recommendations from LTAC.

DATE: October 5, 2016
SUBJECT: Hearing Examiner Interlocal Agreement
ISSUE
The current interlocal agreement with the City of Seattle for Hearing Examiner services
runs through December 31, 2016. In order to continue this relationship a new agreement
is needed.
BACKGROUND
Tukwila has contracted with the City of Seattle for hearing examiner services since 2005.
The hearing examiner is the decision maker for Type 3 land use decisions including
variances, special permission zoning modifications, subdivision preliminary plats and
some wireless facility permits. Other actions include hearing appeals from Type 2 land
use decisions, code enforcement actions, and impact fee determinations.
DISCUSSION
The City of Seattle Office of Hearing Examiner has performed these services for Tukwila
in an efficient and cost effective manner for 11 years. There will be no increase to the
$115 hourly fee we have paid since 2015 until Seattle sets a new rate for 2018. This will
be determined during their 2017 budget process and if higher than $135 per hour the
interlocal will come back to Council for review.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Hearing examiner costs are covered by permit application fees or treated as a pass
through to the applicant.
RECOMMENDATION
The Committee is asked to forward this agreement to the Consent Agenda at the
October 17, 2016 regular meeting for approval.

aff proposes that the Council allocate an additional $50,000 per

,TOBER 24, 2016 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
There is growing awareness and concern regarding relocation assistance for residents
displaced from mobile home parks. The State has an assistance program that reimburses up to
$7500 fora single wide and up to $12,000 for a multi - section, but otherwise there are very few
resources available to help these residents. The City of Seattle has a code in place that places
some responsibility for relocation assistance on the property owner and requires a relocation
report to be filed with the City. If the Council would like to put more policy guidelines in place
around this subject this may be a good model to review. RETURN TO COMMITTEE.
C. Interlocal Agreement: Hearing Examiner Services
Staff is seeking Council approval to renew an interlocal agreement with the City of Seattle for
hearing examiner services through December 31, 2018. Tukwila has contracted with Seattle for
these services since 2005 and this arrangement has proven to be efficient and cost effective.
There is no change to the $115 hourly rate proposed at this time. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Finance and Safety Committee
FROM: Brandon J. Miles, Business Relations Manager
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: September 22, 2016
SUBJECT: Lodging Tax Approval Process
ISSUE
The City charges a 1 % special excise tax on the sale of or charge made for overnight lodging
stays. The use of these funds is limited to tourism promotion. The following memo outlines the
steps the City must follow in order to expend these funds, as provided by State law. Staff is
seeking input from the City Council on the process for awarding lodging tax funds in 2017 and
beyond.
BACKGROUND
As required by Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 67.28.1815, the City deposits lodging tax
funds into a special fund and uses the funds, "...solely for the purpose of paying all or any part
of the cost of tourism, promotion, acquisition of tourism related facilities, or operation of tourism -
related facilities'." These funds are used to support a variety of tourism promotion activities by
the City and third parties, such as the Museum of Flight and Starfire Sports. RCW 67.28.1816
limits the entities eligible to apply for direct lodging tax funding to the following:
1. Cities, towns, and counties of Washington State;
2. Convention and Visitors Bureaus;
3. Public Facilities Districts; and
4. Non - Profits organized as either a 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(6).
Approving lodging tax expenditures is a two -step process involving both the City's Lodging Tax
Advisory Committee (LTAC) and the City Council. As discussed below, State Law provides
considerable authority to the City's LTAC is reviewing and approving request to use lodging tax
funds.
Lodaina Tax Advisory Committee
In 1997, the legislature authorized the creation of local lodging tax advisory committees to
review and comment on any new lodging tax, increase in the tax rate, repeal of an exemption or
change in the use of the lodging tax revenue (RCW 67.28.1817). The City of Tukwila's LTAC
was created via Council Resolution No. 1381 and the membership of the committee expanded
via Council Resolution No. 1533. Membership of the City's LTAC includes:
• Four businesses where the lodging tax is collected, such as hotels and motels;
• Four businesses or organizations engaged in activities eligible to be funded by the tax,
such as non - profits, entertainment destinations, retailers and restaurants; and
See memo entitled "Permitted Use of Lodging Tax Funds," dated August 30, 2016, which provides more
details on allowable expenditures of lodging tax funds. 97
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
• One City elected official, traditionally the Council President, who serves as the chair of the
LTAC.
In 2013, the legislature amended RCW 67.28.1816 and expanded the role of the local lodging
tax advisory committees. Now, in municipalities with a population of over 5,000, requests to use
lodging tax funds — including requests by the municipality itself — must be submitted directly to
the lodging tax advisory committee. This means that the City of Tukwila must submit an
application to the LTAC to expend lodging tax funds for City of Tukwila activities.
The lodging tax advisory committees review the applications for funding in a public meeting and
then forwards a list of candidates to the municipality for final action (RCW 67.28.1816). As part
of the application process, a requestor must provide to the City estimates on how the lodging
tax funds will result in increase in the number of people traveling for businesses or pleasure on
a trip.
Citv Council Review Process in 2016
In June of 2016, staff took funding request applications reviewed by the City's LTAC to the
Finance and Safety Committee. After Finance and Safety review, the applications were
forwarded to the Committee of the Whole for discussion and review and then forwarded to a
Regular City Council meeting for final action. Once the Council approved the funding requests,
the recipients entered into service contracts with the City.
Washinaton State Attornev General's Informal Opinion
As part of the 2016 applications, reviewed by the City Council in June of this year, staff informed
the City Council that the Council had two options with each application: (1) The Council could
concur with the City's LTAC and agree to fund an application as presented or (2) the City
Council could choose not to fund a specific application. Staff informed Council it could not
change the specific dollar amounts recommended by the LTAC based on interpretations of
RCW 67.28 provided by Municipal Research Service Center and the Association of Washington
Cities.
On August 17, 2016, the Washington State Attorney General's Office ( "AG's Office ") issued an
informal opinion regarding whether a municipality could change the dollar amounts
recommended by the local lodging tax advisory committee. 2 The AG's Office opined that a
municipality can change specific dollar amounts recommended by the lodging tax advisory
committee, provided the municipality waits 45 -days before taking final action and that the
lodging tax advisory committee is provided an opportunity to comment on the revised dollar
amount.3 However, the AG's Office cautioned that a municipality cannot choose to fund a
funding request which was not approved by the LTAC. While an informal Attorney General
2 See AG's Informal Opinion dated August 17, 2016, available at http://mrsc.org/cetmedia/0562599b-
d073-4b55- 8817 -daal b9cf39a3 /w3ag081616.aspx.
3 Specifically, the Opinion states:
When awarding lodging tax revenues pursuant to RCW 67.28.1816(2)(b)(ii), a municipality may
award amounts different from the local lodging tax advisory committee's recommended amounts,
but only after satisfying the procedural requirements of RCW 67.28.1817(2), according to which
the municipality must submit its proposed change to the advisory committee for review and
comment at least forty -five days before final action on the proposal.

Safety for its review.
4. Finance and Safety reviews and then forwards its recommendation to the full City
{|OVOci|.
5. The full Council reviews and then takes final action on the funding request. If the
Council concurs with LTAC's recommended amount, no further Council action on the
application is required.
8. If the Council desires to modify the amount to be provided to a specific requestor, the
City Council must provide 45-days' notice 1Vthe LTAC before taking final action. During
this 45-day period, the LTAC will meet and consider the City Council's modification and
either provide 8 comment letter t0 the City Council O[ choose not iO comment. After the
45-day period had concluded, the City Council could take final action, after considering
the LTAC'8 comment letter.

I. PRESENTATIONS
11. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Intertocal Agreement: South King County Fire Training Consortium
Staff is seeking Council approval of an intertocat agreement to continue participation in the
South King County Fire Training Consortium in the amount of $52,108.00 for a term from January
1, 2017 through December 31, 2019. Participation in the Consortium has continued to be
beneficial to the Fire Department and to the City. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO
OCTOBER 10, 2016 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
B. Resolution: Orderine the Cancellation of Past Due Accounts Receivable
Staff is seeking Council approval of the annual resolution that would declare the cancellation of
uncollectibie accounts receivable. The total for this year includes false alarm fees equaling
$411.07, miscellaneous billings equaling $46,724.68 and NSF checks equaling $544.71 for a total
of $47,680.46. Counci[member Robertson asked for additional detail regarding the fire re-
inspection fees at Amara Pointe Apartments back in 2013. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD
TO OCTOBER 17, 2016 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA.
C. Lodging Tax Approval Process
Staff is seeking Council approval of a proposed process for approval of lodging tax applications.
The City collects a 1% excise tax on overnight lodging stays which can be spent on tourism
promotion if approved by the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC) and the City Council. The
Washington State Attorney General recently issued an informal opinion that municipalities could
change the dollar amounts recommended by the lodging tax advisory committee if the advisory
committee is given 45 days' notice before the City Council takes final action. This differs from
past interpretation of state law and Tukwila's practice in which the Council only approved or
denied recommendations from LTAC.
105
Finance and Safety Committee Minutes ........................................................................................... ......................October4, 2016
Staff is proposing a modified process to accommodate the new Attorney General opinion. If the
Council desires to modify the amount to be provided to an applicant, the City will provide 45
days' notice to LTAC before taking final action. LTAC will meet during this time to consider the
Council's modification and provide a comment letter or choose not to comment. After the 45 day
period the City Council could take final action, and the City would enter into agreement with the
applicant. Committee members discussed the proposal as well as the current LTAC practice to
accept applications on a rolling basis throughout the year. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD
TO OCTOBER 10, 2016 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
D. Permitted Uses of Lodging Tax Funds
Staff provided an overview of the legally permitted uses of lodging tax funds, which is outlined in
Revised Code of Washington 67.28.1815. Proceeds from the tax can be used for activities,
operations or expenditures designed to increase tourism or welcome tourists to the City.
Tourism can include those who travel from other areas to stay overnight in Tukwila as well as
those who travel to Tukwila for the day. Economic activity from residents is not considered
tourism. Committee members and staff discussed examples of allowable and disallowable uses.
INFORMATION ONLY. FORWARD TO OCTOBER 10, 2016 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
E. Proposed 2017 -2018 Biennial Budget: Lodging Tax
The lodging tax fund is undergoing change due to the transition of Seattle Southside Visitor
Services to the Seattle Southside Regional Tourism Authority (SSRTA). Staff is projecting
revenues of $733,000 for 2017 and $755,000 for 2018, reflecting a 3% growth estimate. The
proposed budget includes expenditures in three categories: operations, day marketing, and third
party applications. Councilmember Kruller encouraged staff to consider ways to include Tukwila
International Boulevard business owners in tourism and marketing activities. Staff noted that
day marketing analysis will kick off with a survey and Council input is desired. DISCUSSION
ONLY. FORWARD TO OCTOBER 10, 2016 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
F. Budget Review - Multiple Departments
Pursuant to the process requested by Council earlier this year, sections of the proposed 2017-
2018 budget are being presented to standing Council Committees prior to moving forward
through the full Council review process. Staff presented proposed 2017 -2018 budgets for the
following departments and funds: Police Department, Drug Seizure Fund, Fire Department,
Public Safety Plan Funds. Committee members discussed the proposals as detailed in the
agenda packet. Staff noted that cell phone costs are going to remain in individual City
Departments and not be reallocated to the Technology and Innovation Services Department as
previously suggested. Chair Seal spoke to the importance of ensuring overtime estimates for
Police and Fire are as accurate as possible in order to avoid a major amendment as happened
in 2015. She also stressed the importance of retaining adequate funding for training. The
Committee recommended thatthe CIP page for "Relocate Fire Station 51" remove the reference
to "satellite station." They also requested that the CIP page for "City Hall Facilities" be removed
as there is no funding plan within the timeframe of the CIP. COMMITTEE DISCUSSION.
FORWARD TO OCTOBER 24, 2016 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE WITH REQUESTED CHANGES.

BY:

CC:
Mayor Ekberg
DATE:
October 11, 2016
SUBJECT: Request for additional budget authority to implement the City's Technology
strategy and vision
ISSUE
Per the discussion at the September 26, 2016 Committee of the Whole, Technology Services is
seeking formal authority to increase its 2016 budget by $170,240 to provide additional services.
BACKGROUND
As discussed at the September 26 Council of the Whole meeting, building on the work done
with the Moss Adams report and subsequent strategic plan, Technology and Innovation
Services has been busy working the City's IT strategy for the next three to five years. The
Department has identified several areas for improvement in 2016 that will allow us to deploy
critical programs in 2017 and 2018.
DISCUSSION
Putting additional foundational IT infrastructure in place now will allow the Department to be
more nimble and ready to implement strategies to improve technology - related services to the
Tukwila community.
Specifically, the Department is seeking budget authorization to:
• Spend up to $73,000 on Help Desk support beginning in October through the end of the
year. The initial costs include setup fees and one quarter's worth of support. The
proposed 2017/2018 includes ongoing Help Desk support at the cost of $124,000 per
year. This will allow Technology Services staff additional time to devote to other critical
IT needs in the City and will result in better services for our community.
• Spend $9,240.00 on Help Desk and IT Service Management software subscription for one
year. Annual renewals in 2017 and 2018 for the same cost are included in the
2017/2018 budget as well. This will allow IT to implement the Help Desk support
discussed above.
• Spend $88,000 on a onetime contract to develop an IT user portal and implement
persona-driven IT Service Management that will produce additional efficiencies within
the City's IT service delivery model and infrastructure.
109
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
As discussed at the September 26, 2016 Committee of the Whole meeting, the efficiencies
resulting from this budget increase will result in directly improved services to the community of
Tukwila. As an example, this investment in 2016 will allow staff to move more quickly on 2017
IT priorities, such as the new Parks and Recreation records management system that will allow
TCC patrons to register for classes online.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City has determined that there are savings from other Departments that will cover the
$170,240 requested and that an increase in the TS budget for this purpose will still result in a
balanced budget.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to authorize approval of the amount of $170,240 for use by the
Technology and Innovation Services Department to be included as part of the 2016 budget
amendment. Additionally, Council is being asked to authorize the approval of $9,240 on Help
Desk and IT Service Management Software; and authorization for the Mayor to sign contracts
with Vitalyst up to the amount $73,000 for Help Desk Support and training and Indigo Slate in
the amount of $88,000 for persona-driven IT Service Management and Customer Portal.

of this document is to clarify what is being supported for development to code toward. This is
not to say that the products won't work well on other devices, but there may be slight
differences in the experience based on any differences in the browser version, screen resolution,
or OS level on those devices. These devices and browsers were selected based on their
popularity and relevance as representative samples of what we believe most closely matches
what is primarily being used.
We are making the assumption that the latest version of each browser is being used on each
platform. Mobile devices will be tested in portrait and landscape orientations. On the PC the
assumed full screen resolution is 1080P. Both a full screen and windowed test will be performed
on PC browsers.

in the provision of the Support Service at issue. Client pays for all unit -based charges through the purchase
of a committed "Support Plan" which provides Client with a specified number of units which may be
"consumed" during a specified time period (hereafter referred to as the "Term of Units "). As used herein,

Support Units based on the invoicing schedule in Attachment A. For all dollar -based fees due
quarterly or on any other recurring basis under the Support Services Agreement, Vitalyst will invoice
Client on a recurring or periodic basis in advance as specified in the Agreement (if the periodic
basis is not otherwise specified, it shall be due quarterly), with the first such invoice issued on a
pro rata basis for the period between execution of the Support Services Agreement and the end of
the then - current calendar quarter or other applicable period. For any other fees or expenses
incurred by Vitalyst in the provision of Support Services, Vitalyst will invoice Client as otherwise
specified in these General Terms or the Support Services Agreement or, if not specified, on a

applicable expense. All payment obligations are non - cancelable and all amounts paid are non-
refundable.
B. Payment Terms. All invoices are due and payable in full within 30 days of issuance by Vitalyst.
Invoices not paid by their due date shall be subject to a 1.5% per month interest fee, or the
maximum extent allowed by applicable laws, whichever is less, on all past due balances. This late
payment fee may, in Vitalyst sole discretion and at its election, be converted into a corresponding
number of units at then - current pricing and Vitalyst may then debit Client's then - unused units by
this converted amount. In the event Vitalyst incurs additional fees as a result of any collection
activity for unpaid fees, Client shall reimburse Vitalyst for any and all such fees.
13
131
C. Method of Payment. All fees shall be paid, at Client's election, either by means of: (a) a Client
check payable to Vitalyst, LLC; (b) an Automatic Clearing House ( "ACH ") transfer to a Vitalyst bank
account (account instructions will be provided by Vitalyst if Client elects to utilize this method of
payment). If Client wishes to pay by any other means (such as by credit card), it may notify Vitalyst
in writing of its request and may only utilize such other payment method if and to the extent
approved in advance in writing by Vitalyst. In this regard, alternative payment methods may require
payment of additional fees to Vitalyst (for example, Client may be required to reimburse Vitalyst for
applicable transaction fees for certain alternative payment methods).
D. Taxes. Fees due to Vitalyst do not include taxes and Client shall promptly pay all taxes, or promptly
reimburse Vitalyst for any taxes required to be paid by Vitalyst, to the extent such taxes are in
connection with the Support Services Agreement or any Support Services or deliverables provided
thereunder; provided, however, that Vitalyst shall be responsible for taxes imposed on its net
income or capital stock.
6. Vitalyst Performance. Vitalyst will provide the Support Services in a professional and workmanlike
manner. In the event such Support Services are not performed in accordance with this standard and Client
promptly notifies Vitalyst of the non - compliance, Vitalyst will re- perform the non - conforming Support
Services, at no additional cost to Client, to correct any deficiencies. In the event Vitalyst remains unable to
provide the Support Services in accordance with these standards after repeated efforts, then Client's sole
remedies shall be: (i) to recover the fees paid to Vitalyst for the un- remedied, non - conforming Support
Services, subject to the aggregate liability limits set forth in Section 13 below; and (ii) if the non - conformance
is material, to initiate termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 12 and, to the extent this Agreement
is terminated, obtain a refund as of the date of termination for any pre -paid fees for unused Support
Services.
7. Confidential Information. Confidential Information is non - public information of a party which is
provided to the other party hereunder and which is maintained as confidential by the disclosing party. A
party receiving Confidential Information may use it only for the purposes for which it was provided and may
not disclose it to any third party unless such third party has "a need to know" the information and is bound
by the confidentiality and limited use restrictions set forth in this Agreement (including the licensing
restrictions and other requirements in Section 8 which apply to Deliverables). Without limitation,
Confidential Information of Vitalyst includes the Company Information (defined in Section 8 below), the
Company's other intellectual property, any and all pricing information and metrics related to its services and
offerings, information about employees and customers, information about business, product or marketing
strategy, and information regarding the company's practices and methodologies utilized in the delivery of

information regarding its financial health and its business, marketing and product strategies. Confidential
information does not include information that: (i) is or becomes known to the public without fault or breach
of this provision; or (ii) the owning party regularly discloses to third parties without restriction on disclosure;
or (iii) the is received from a party other than a party to this Agreement without restriction on disclosure and
without breach of a non - disclosure obligation. The obligations of this provision shall survive termination of
this Agreement for so long as the owning party treats the item at issue as confidential. Provided, Client and
Vitalyst recognize that Client is a public entity, subject to various public disclosure laws. The provisions of
this Section shall not apply to any information that the Client determines is subject to release under state
or federal law, including the Washington State Public Records Act, or legal discovery.

information security policy, to protect Client PH in a manner consistent with the requirements of all state
and federal laws and regulations which apply to Vitalyst's handling of Client PH in the course of providing

in Section 6 (Confidential Information) of this Agreement; (ii) limit access to Client PH to Vitalyst's
employees, agents and subcontractors who need access to Client PH to fulfill Vitalyst's obligations

PII; and (iii) implement appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to ensure
the security or integrity of such Client PII and help protect against unauthorized access to or use of such
Client PII.
Client will maintain appropriate data security measures, and implement security policies and
practices, as necessary to protect Client PH in a manner consistent with the requirements of all state and
federal laws and regulations which apply to Client. Client will implement practices and policies designed to
limit the provision of Client PH to Vitalyst to those instances where such Client PII is necessary for the

Client PH is transmitted or made available in a form or manner which complies with all applicable laws and

COUNCIL CONSENSUS EXISTED TO FORWARD THIS ITEM TO THE UPCOMING COUNCIL
BUDGET PROCESS.
e. Technology Services budget:
Counui}member Seal introduced the discussion onthe 2017-2018 budget for Technology Services.
(1) Technology Services 2O17-2U18 budget, and
(2) Request for additional budget authority in 3016 to implement the Technology Services
Department strategy and vision.
—~
Joseph Todd, Technology Services Director, stated they are proposing budget increases of $362,980
in2O17 and $328.Q8O for 2818 (over the 2O1G budget) as detailed on page 147of the agenda packet.
These technology investments are aligned with recommendations from the Moss Adams report and
assessment and from the departmental Strategic Plan, including:
°
Transition of on-premises services to the cloud to ensure redundancy and scalability of
infrastructure.
• Equipment for network redundancy.
• Transition of help desk support hoan outside company to allow staff time bz focus onkey
software roll-outs in Community Deve|opment(DCD). Parks& ReoreaUon, Po|ine, Fire and
Public Works.
• Integration of the City's GIS warehouse to support several new systems including the Spillman
records management system for Police, an on-line reservations and management system for
Parks &Recreation, and on-line permitting for DCO.
Page 147 of the agenda packet details changes relating to salaries and benefits. These include a
new Business Analyst position (funding to come from the vacant Deputy Public Works Director
position), increasing a half-time IT specialist for the Police Department to a full-time position, and
transition of the GIS specialist from the Public Works Department to Technology Services.
Counci|nember Quinn noted the change in focus to high-level technology work and how that impacts
the responsibilities of staff in that department. Mr. Todd referenced a recent assessment of the City's
cell phone plan conducted by Eric Compton in Technology Services, which resulted in cost reductions
for the City. That analysis process also ai|ovvad the City to identify ways to support the school district
through IT services, such as providing Wi-Fi access for their after-school program services. Through
the connection developed by the City with Verizon, the school district has a way to purchase devices
that will extend students' ability to acceasVVi-Fi in their honnms, with the City providing IT support,
Tukwila City Council Committee of the Whole Minutes

Counci|member Quinn asked about the progress related to redundancy and equipment needs to
avoid disruptions inservice. Mr. Todd explained that storage costs are being shifted tncloud-based
applications, which pushes the redundancy costs, back-upsnndoatohinQtuthovondorwhi|othaChx
pays for consumption (through Microsoft Azure and Amazon cloud services). He referenced epiece
of infrastructure used by the City that controls every piece of the network that comes into the City for
Fire and Police personnel. Two months ago that piece--achaseis--fai|ed. which affected the City's
phone system, internet access, and access to vital Fire and Police information. A redundant chassis
/s needed for tai\ovar for that particular system.
Discussion byCnunoi|mernbnnsincluded:
°
Interest is seeing a list of what the City is receiving for these on-going costs ($300,000 per year)
to sustain the system on an annual basis, and not just discussing this expense during budget
° Information technology takes a combination of equipment and people and is becoming more
complex and more expensive, particularly aak relates to risk reduction.
• Recognition that there is a degree of sticker shock at the costs, while also understanding there is
a need to catch up and recognize this iu the "new norma|.^
• Services such as on-line booking of Parks & Recreation programs are something the public is
asking for.
Coumci\memberKru||er suggested the Council receive a quarterly report on specific tangibles related to
the Technology Services budget. She would like ho see information on how the changes translate into o
benefit to the community, cost savings and increased productivity.
She also asked about the out-sourcing of commodity work, as the 2014 Moss Adams report
recommended out-sourcing the high-level items, and this proposal seems to be the inverse of that in
some cases (pages 155-1G1of the agenda packet). She would like to know the value (cost benefit) for
the shift from some of the recommendations in that report, such as a quantification of the decision to out-
source thehe|pdeskfunotion.
Mr. Todd stated that during a recent discussion with a representative of Moss Adams they were
supportive of the proposed direction.
Several Councilmembers; commented on the amount of staff time that would be required to detail the cost
implications associated with items listed in the Moss Adams report.
Councilmember Kruller requested confirmation that the report requested on specific tangibles in the
Technology Services budget be provided ona quarterly basis.
COUNCIL CONSENSUS EXISTED TO FORWARD THIS ITEM TO THE UPCOMING COUNCIL
BUDGET PROCESS.
