Purpose
The new administration of the US
currently incites hate and shuts out
people of the world, therefore polarizing
the nation and our communities even
more.
We want to inspire students and people to
continue loving one another regardless of
race or gender. Despite this change of
leadership in our nation, we want to
maintain the love we have fostered in
'Tukwila.

What do students think of having a documentary of the
history of white America and the impact it has on students?
"I think a documentary of the history of white America and the impact
it has on students is a great ideal I think we should listen to
everyone's personal stories and their perspectives of life. l think it's
a great way to understand everyone better and become closer, even. It
sounds pretty cool." - Mariah Bolton, Junior.
"I think a documentary of personalized stories and different
perspectives of our own lives would be really interesting to see.
Kailany Chhay, Freshmen.
"Sounds good." = Jesus Flores, Junior.
"In my opinion it will change many things. It will make people aware
of the different problems that impact everyday lives in our high
school. Plus it will just add perspective for people in their lives.' -
Ramiro Ortiz, Junior.
"I think [the documentarvl is good for us because it helps us know
what the white American did [to] us." - David Chea, Senior.
What do you think of us having a documentary describing
personalized stories and different perspectives of your own
life?
"Definitely is a good ideal." - Shiloh Bowen, Senior.
d be [really] cool if people saw our lives cause like Mr. Kraght said
there's a bunch [of] people in foster that live hard lives but still have
to adhere to school and american life. " - Kobe Promvongsa, Junior.
1) We get this lesson from all of our Social Studies teachers so often
that we are comfortable with the subject. I feel that students would
see it as something normal to learn about and embrace their history.
2) We would have to go about it in a good way. We can't all be
Brandon from Humans of New York, but we all have potential to be as
open as his subjects. I think that we would potentially make it
anonymous, or only allow voiceovers as opposed to camera interviews
to make it more comfortable. Sharing is a bit difficult because sharing
requires trust, but if someone is made comfortable (atmosphere, how
questions are worded, if they can express themselves creatively) then
believe that trust can be earned." - Daniel Humkey, Senior.

DATE: April 4, 2017
SUBJECT: Lodging Tax Advisory Committee Legislation
ISSUE
Staff is seeking to codify provisions relating to the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee. The City
Council has asked for greater understanding of the differences between the existing resolution
defining LTAC and the proposed ordinance that would move LTAC to the Municipal Code.
DISCUSSION
The City's Lodging Tax Advisory Committee was first established in 1997 by Resolution 1381.
Resolution 1533 in 2003 expanded its membership from seven to nine. Staff is seeking to repeal
these resolutions and instead place the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee in the Municipal Code
alongside the City's other advisory boards, commissions and committees. The draft ordinance
proposes to place the LTAC provisions in TIVIC Chapter 2.35 and remove the Economic
Development Advisory Board provisions that currently exist there. The Economic Development
Advisory Board has not been active since 1999.
Differences between the existing and proposed LTAC legislation are summarized as follows:
Purpose
The proposed Code language explains the purpose of LTAC in greater detail and in accordance
with RCW 67.28.1817. LTAC serves in an advisory capacity and submits recommendations
regarding the lodging tax, including changes, repeals, exemptions, use of revenues, or changes
in use of revenues. State law requires the City to provide information on any of these things to
LTAC at least 45 days before the City Council is expected to act.
Membership
As required by RCW 67.28.1817, LTAC will still consist of nine members including one elected
official serving as Chair, four representatives of businesses required to collect lodging tax, and
four representatives involved in activities to be funded by lodging tax revenue. The proposed
ordinance specifies that it will be a Councilmember serving as Chair, not just an elected official
which could include the Mayor under the existing resolution.
Appointment Process
State law requires the City Council to make all appointments to LTAC and to review the
membership annually. The proposed code outlines the City's current practice for LTAC
appointments in greater detail than the existing resolution. Up until 2016, the Mayor had been
making recommendations to the City Council for appointments on LTAC, which was consistent
with the appointment process for other City Boards and Commissions. Last year the City's
process was changed to remove the Mayor's role. This ordinance clarifies that the
Councilmember serving as LTAC Chair recommends appointments to the rest of the Council for
confirmation.

INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
Reporting Requirements
The proposed code requires that LTAC submit an annual report to Council that summarize its
activities for the year.
Other provisions
The existing LTAC resolution is silent on other provisions such as terms, resignations,
vacancies, removal, service of Council President or designee, meetings, and City staff support,
although it does state that LTAC itself may establish administrative procedures for the conduct
of meetings, voting, and comments. The proposed ordinance would establish these details in
the Code and provide standardization with other City boards and committees.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is seeking Committee review of the draft ordinance and resolution with a recommendation
for approval to the Committee of the Whole.

• Draft ordinance to enact TIVIC Chapter 2.35, Lodging Tax Advisory Committee
