City of Tukwila
Mayor's Office - David Cline, City Administrator
The City of opportunity, the community of choice
Mayor Ekberg
Councilmembers
FROM: David Cline, City Administrator
DATE: July 12, 2017
SUBJECT: Report for July 17, 2017 Regular Council Meeting
Allan Ekberg, Mayor
The City Administrator Report is meant to provide the Council, staff and community an update on
the activities of the City and on issues that concern Tukwila. Please let me know if you have any
questions or need additional information about any of the following items.
�. Intergovernmental Update
• Canoe Blessing Ceremony: On July 6, the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe performed a Canoe
Blessing Ceremony at Duwamish Gardens which included song and dance, greetings from
Mayor Ekberg and Tribal members, and launching one of the two new shovelnose canoes.
• Presentations at Tukwila Elementary: Public Works staff recently provided a stormwater
education and outreach presentation to three 3rd grade classes (75 students) at Tukwila
Elementary.
• Soundside Alliance: Councilmember Hougardy and Economic Development staff met with
members of Soundside Alliance to discuss future initiatives. The Port of Seattle has offered to
fund three new initiatives that had been proposed by the Alliance: expanding the work of the
Small Business Development-Center at Highline College (SBDC), creating a map of
development opportunities in the region, and marketing the region under the Soundside
name. Tukwila staff expressed support for the initiatives; however, due to workload Tukwila
would only be able to participate in the new SBDC initiative. The other Soundside partners
can still participate in all three initiatives.
11. Community Events
• Cascade View Community Park KaBOOM! Playground: On July 8 150 volunteers, including
the Mayor and several Councilmembers, participated in the Cascade View Community Park
KaBOOM! playground build. Several city staff members participated and lead teams of
volunteers to build playground elements, mix concrete, spread mulch, distribute food and
much more. Volunteers from Forester's Financial, the funding partner, and the Tukwila
Community were instrumental in the successful build of the playground -- which was
completed in just 5 hours!

on July 3 and on the morning of July 4 a USMC Veteran and Foster Golf Links employee,
Tucker Wiest raised the flag. Tukwila residents, the Foster Men's Club, and fellow golfers
attended the ceremony. Robert Reeploeg, a longtime FGL staff member lead the project.
• Rec Time: On July 5 Rec Time, the collaborative program with the Tukwila School District,
started for the summer season. There are over 200 kids participating in physical education
activities led by Parks and Recreation staff during the summer school day. Over 80 kids
registered for the After - School program (Playground part of Rec Time). An additional 10 -15
kids have been dropping in each day from the community.
111. Staff Updates
Public Safety
• Community Liaison Team Outreach: Community Liaison Team has been working with the
International Refugee Committee (IRC) to expand outreach opportunities with refugee
populations that are already established in the area. They will be meeting with the
Bhutanese community in a group meeting at the Samara apartments on July 14 and 21. The
team will also be assisting the IRC with their summer school program to prepare refugee

the 42nd Ave S and 53rd Ave S residential street projects will take place on Thursday, July
