Home My WebLink AboutPS 2017-02-21 Item 2A - Ordinance - Destruction of Forfeited FirearmsCity of Tukwila Allan Ekberg, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM TO: Public Safety Committee FROM: Mike Villa, Chief of Police BY: Officer Larry Hann, City Attorney Ann Marie Soto CC: Mayor Ekberg DATE: December 27, 2016 SUBJECT: An Amendment to Ordinance 1668 regarding Destruction of Forfeited Firearms ISSUE The Council is being asked to consider and approve amending ordinance 1668 as codified in Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) section 8.11.030 "Destruction of Forfeited Firearms". BACKGROUND In 1993, the Washington State Legislature adopted RCW 9.41.098 authorizing local governments to dispose of seized and forfeited firearms in any manner as determined by local legislative authority. The Tukwila City Council subsequently adopted Ordinance 1668 providing for destruction of all seized and forfeited firearms declared surplus. DISCUSSION The amendment allows for used, out of warranty and unreliable or unserviceable firearms to be returned to the original manufacturer in trade for a new model that increases safety and reliability for the officer at a substantial savings to the department. The City Council would exercise its discretion by directing the Tukwila Police Department to dispose of all forfeited and surplus firearms not meeting an exemption by either destroying the firearm or trading the firearm to a licensed manufacturer through an authorized "buy back" program. FINANCIAL IMPACT While there are other firearms manufactures that have similar trade-in programs, the following example is from Glock Inc (currently the standard pistol issued by the Tukwila Police Department). Glock's current Law Enforcement Agency price for a new Generation 4 Glock model 22 is $414.00. If an older generation 2 or 3 model Glock 22 is traded back to Glock, the cost to the agency for the new generation four handguns drops from $414.00 to $164.00. RECOMMENDATION The Council is being asked to approve the amendment of Ordinance 1668 at the February 27, 2017 Committee of the Whole meeting and subsequent March 6, 2017 Regular meeting.
