BACKGROUND The Tukwila Police Department has been a part of a current interlocal agreement and task force for combating Auto Theft in the region since 2008, We have had a Commander involved with oversite of the task force for five years and grant-funded FTE's on the team for the last four years. Chiefs of the partnering agencies of three local task forces identified the need to consolidate auto theft investigative resources that were tracking these same crimes and criminals in overlapping jurisdictions. Therefore, a merger of the three auto theft task forces in the region was recommended. After vetting the idea, of a merger through the partnering agencies, a new grant application through WATPA was submitted for a new singular merged task force. A new interlocal to accommodate the merger has been drafted and has partnering agencies' approval, DISCUSSION Tukwila's involvement will remain the same, as a partnering agency that will supply continued staffing to the Task Force. FINANCIAL IMPACT Status Quo - The wages, benefits, training, and overtime associated with Tukwila's FTE's Authority, a sub-agency of the Washington Association of Sheriffs & Police Chiefs. RECOMMENDATION The Council is being asked to review and approve the PSATT Interlocal Agreement and consider this item at the July 24, 2017 Committee of the Whole and Special Meeting to follow that same evening.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The Washington State l.egislature has recognized that automobiles are an essential part of our everyday lives. The family car is typically the second largest investment a person owns, the theft of which causes a significant loss and inconvenience to people, imposes financial hardship, and negatively impacts their work, school, and personal activities. Appropriate, meaningful, and proportionate penalties should be imposed on those who steal motor vehicles. King County, Pierce County, and the municipalities therein have experienced an increase in urbanization and Population densities resulting in an increase in crime associated with auto theft. This has stretched the resources of individual police department investigative units. I I istorically, law enforcement efforts focused on auto, theft have been predominately conducted by agencies working independently. A ruLdti-Jurisdictional effort to handle auto theft investigations has many benefits, including: the more effective use of personnel, improved utilization of funds, reduced duplication ofequipment, improved training, development of specialized expertise, and improved information sharing. This results in improved services Tor all participating.jUrisdictions and increased safety for the communities they serve through improved auto theft prosecution. V1.

Task-Force, which will serve the combined service areas ofall the participating jurisdictions, The Task Force may also provide assistance to other law enforcement agencies that are not participating jurisdictions pursuant to chapter 10.93 RCW. The Task Force's objective is to provide enhanced and more efficient use of personnel, equipment, budgeted funds, and training to investigate and aid in the prosecution of prolific or organized auto theft crimes. The Task Force may respond as able, and as approved by the Task Force t� Supervisors or Commander, to requests for assistance by any participating jurisdiction or by other law enforcement agencies pursuant to chapter 10.9,3 RCW.

King and Pierce Counties, combined, account for 57% of the auto theft in the State, with the vast-majority of those thefts occurring in South-King and North-Pierce Counties. These thefts annually account for noiNiomm of dollars in loss to citizens and businesses, as well as, constitute an extreme invasion of w|mtirn'm privacy and ability to carry out day to day |iVlng. Additionally, auto theft |sa catalyst for many other violent crimes, and has become a dominant variable in organized crime im the Puget Sound region. The funds from this VVATPA grant are critical toestablish a task force that is capable mf addressing the, auto theft issue una regional level for South-King and North-PienceCounties. HISTORICAL: The Puget Sound Auto Theft Task-Force (PSATT) will provide a new look to an established task-force concept that has proven successful for \NATPA and the citizens of Washington State. Since 2O00, The ACE and PATROL auto theft task forces have been serving the communities of South-King and North-Pierce Counties. With both task forces working in such close proximity to each other, and investigations crossing jurisdictions, the Executive Boards of both task forces have recognized an efficiency need and advantage horeducing this overlap bv merging the efforts and resources ofthe ACE and PATROL task Forces. |m addition to the combined resources oyACE and PATROL, the eastside Washington State Patrol auto theft task-force, part of team created in 1987, has also acknowledged the advantage of pooling resources, and has offered to join the merger, as well. Such a merger of three task forces is Unprecedented in Washington State, and it will create a more efficient regional focus on the auto theft issue, driving down the number of auto thefts and their impact on the most pnn|hhc auto theft region in the State. The innovation and partnerships of the three task forces have provided new strategies to combat auto theft. In 2012, a WATPA funded task force proposed legislation related to trafficking in stolen property which successfully increased the statute of limitations, from three to six years. ACE, PATROL and V0SPdetectives are known as subject matter experts throughout the Northwest Region; they have presented training on auto theft investigations to thousands of attendees over the years. information sharing, investigative coordination, and training by the task forces throughout the region contributed to a ZG% increase in auto theft recoveries and a 2796 increase in auto theft arrests from 20I5io2016. In addition to working within the criminal justice system to combat auto theft, the task forces have consistently worked on educating the public about auto theft through outreach efforts, public service announcements, and web site portals for the public, Additionally, the task forces have historically shown prudent fiduciary practices with WATPA funds. PROPOSED PROJECT ACTIVITIES: The goal of this project [sto merge existing auto theft task forces into a single task force that will focus on prolific auto thieves and auto theft organized crime, with the purpose of reducing auto theft crimes in the South-King County and North-Pierce County region by at least 10% over the two-year grant cycle. PSATT will be a comprehen,sive and effective team made up of three sergeants, eleven detectives, and a part time crime analyst. The task force team will liaison with the King County and Pierce County Prosecutor's offices to improve both investigation and prosecution of auto theft related cases. PSATT members will attend regional training in auto theft investigations to include one out-of-area training conference in 2018 and one in 2D19. This training is instrumental for continued networking, partnership building, information sharing, and providing auto theft investigation assistance and training to other police agencies. P5ATT will conduct in-service and specialized auto theft training for regional law enforcement agencies. A comprehensive public awareness campaign will be established to educate citizens on the importance, of auto theft prevention. Efforts will include ongoing website maintenance, banner ads on buses, and digital billboard advertisement. (New avenues for public outreach will also be explored, and may supplement the nnediums already inplace. All messaging will include the VVATPA|ogo.) Evaluation/Assessment: This project will be evaluated through formative andsurmrnmt|me evaluation methods.

ANNOUNCEMENT II. BUSINESSAGENDA A. Interlocal Agreement: Auto Theft Task Force Staff is seeking Council approval of an Interlocal Agreement between the Washington State Patrol, Pierce County Sherriff's Office, King County Prosecutor's Office, Auburn, Bonney Lake, Federal Way, Lakewood, Tacoma, and Tukwila for the creation of the Puget Sound Auto Ehft Task Force (PSATTF). The current Auto Theft Task Force that includes two grant- funded FTEs from the Tukwila Police will be merging with two other Auto Theft Task Forces. Tukwila has participated in the existing task force since 2008, and it has been determined that a larger unified task force would be more efficient considering criminal overlap the jurisdictions. There is no financial impact as staffing will continue to be paid from grant money from the Washington Auto Theft Prevention Authority. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.

If the fee is calculated using number of employees multiplied by a flat fee, the applicant could easily calculate the fee with little effort or error. There would be significantly less misreported hours or loss of revenue. The city would also benefit by having accurate statistics on the number of employees in Tukwila. These statistics are not currently available as the way the fee is calculated leaves room for error and/or omission on number of employees. Additionally, the State requires that the application and/or fee should be within the DOR's technical ability to administer, which may not be possible under the current method. Proposed Change to Fee Structure The City is proposing to change the fee structure to $70 for each full-time employee (defined as 30 hours or more each week), plus $50 for each part-time employee. The full-time rate is proposed to increase from $67 to $70 per employee, or approximately 5%. This is equivalent to less than 1 % increase per year since the business license fee was enacted in 2011. A reduced rate for part-time employees is suggested as a way to minimize the impact to those businesses with significant part-time staffing levels.

Staff: Richelle Geiger (786-7139). Background: City Business and Occupation Taxes. Local Business and Occupation Taxes (B&O) are levied at a percentage rate on the gross receipts of a business, less some deductions. Businesses are put in different classes such as manufacturing, wholesaling, retailing, and services. Within each class the rate must be the same, but it may differ among classes. Effective April 20, 1982, the Legislature set the maximum tax rate that can be imposed by a city's legislative body at 0,2 percent (0,002), but grandfathered in any higher rates that existed on January 1, 1982- All ordinances that impose this tax for the first time, or raise rates, must provide for a referendum procedure. Any city may levy a rate higher than 0.2 percent, if it is approved by a majority of the voters. Forty- three of Washington's 281 cities levy this, tax. In 2003 the Legislature passed a bill that required the Association of Washington Cities (AWC) to convene a committee to develop a model ordinance that would be adopted by all cities imposing, a B&O tax no later than December 31, 2004, The Legislature was concerned about the lack of uniformity of the local B&O tax ordinances, and about allegations that sonic business income was subject to multiple taxation. The legislation requires that the, model ordinance have certain mandatory provisions: a system of credits that prevent 1111,11tiple taxation of tile same income; a gross receipts threshold for small businesses; tax reporting frequency requirements; and provisions for penalties and interest, refunds, and deductions comparable with state law. Beginning, January 1, 2008, cities that levied a B&O tax had to allow for allocation and apportionment of taxes between cities. City Business Licensing. Approximately 212 of Washington's 281 cities require a business license for any business conducting business activities within the city. Fees associated with the business license vary from flat rate charges to fees based oil sonic combination of employee count, square footage occupied, or business type. For cities imposing a B&O tax, business licensing fees and filing reqUirernents are separate, and in addition to B&O taxes. Administration of Local Business and Qccup anion 'Fax and Local Business Licensing. Unlike local sales and use taxes, local B&O taxes are administered exclusively at the local level. In 1977 the Legislature created the Master License Service to streamline business licensing and renewal. The program transterred to the Department of Revenue (Department) on July 1, 2011. The Master License Service was renamed to the Business Licensing Service (131.S) to better reflect the program's purpose. The BLS is the clearinghouse for business licensing, partners with 10 state agencies, and facilitates the issuance of local business licenses on behalfof approximately 70 cities, Agency programs and municipalities retain full regulatory control over their registration and compliance requirements. House Bill Report . 2 - EFIB 2005 W The cities ot'Seattle, Tacoma, Bellevue, and, Everett have been working together since 2010 to simplify the process of local business licensing and B&O tax filing. In 2014 these cities signed an interlocal agreement to establish a "one-stop" system for tax payment and business license application filing to make it easier and more efficient for businesses to apply for local business licenses, and file local taxes, while the cities, retain local control over local licensing, tax collection ftinctions, and policies. This joint effort is to create an Internet website application gateway where tax collection and business licensing functions can be collectively administered, and where businesses operating in multiple cities can use a one- stop system for tax payment or local business license application filing. This website began operations in 2016 and is known as FileLocal. Local Ths, and Licensing Sim plificationTask F_qrcg. The Legislature enacted Engrossed House Bill 2959 in 2015, directing the Department to lead a task force during the 2016 interim to evaluate and develop options to: (a) improve the 1. local business licensing process; (b) examine the difference in nexus between the state and cities; (c) examine allocation and apportionment methods; (d) centralize B&O, tax collection; and (e) share data between the Department and FileLo,cal. The task force consisted of the following nine members: two representatives from the Association of Washington Business (AWB)-, one representative of the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB); one representative of the AWC; one representative from the Washington Retail Association (WRA); one representative from a Washington city or town that imposes a local B&O tax and has a population greater than 100,000; one representative from a Washington city or town that imposes a B&O tax and has a population of less than 100,000; one representative from FileLocal; and one representative from the Department who served as chair of the task force. In 2017 the task force prepared and presented a report for the Legislature that examined the differences in apportionment and nexus between state and local B&O taxes, and how these differences affect taxpayers and cities; evaluated additional or alternative options to improve the administration of local business tax and licensing; and provided recommendations for options evaluated by the task force. Tile task force provided recommendations on four of the five topics and did not provide a recommendation to centralize B&O tax collection. Summary of Engrossed Bill: All cities that require a general business, license (license), unless otherwise exempted (partnering cities), are required to partner with the Department to issue and renew licenses through BLS. The Department must partner with all partnering cities by December 31, 2022, if" specific funding is appropriated for that purpose. If specific funding is not appropriated, the Department must partner with at least six cities per year between January 1, 2018 and December ' 31, 2021. Between January 1, 2022 and December 31, 2027, the Department must partner with the remaining partnering cities, Tile Department may delay assuming the duties Of issuing and renewing general business licenses if insufficient funds are appropriated for this purpose, tile Department cannot ensure the BLS is adequately prepared to handle all general business licenses due to unforeseen House Bill Report .3 - EIIB 2005 5M] circumstances, or the Department determines that a delay is necessary to ensure that the transition to the mandatory Department issuance and renewal of general business license is as seamless as possible. Additionally, if a city submits written notice that they need to delay implementation due to fiscal or technical challenges, the Department can delay implementation for that city for up to three years. Cities are exempt from partnering with the Department to issue and renew licenses through the BLS ifthe city participates in the FiIeLocal program as of July 1, 2020. By January 1, 2018, and January I of each even- numbered year thereafter,, the Department must establish a biennial plan for partnering with cities and submit it to the Governor, the Legislature, affected cities, the AWC, the AWB, the NFIB, and the WRA (stakeholders), The Department can alter the plan with a minimum notice of 30 days to affected cities. By January 1, 2019, and each January I thereafter through January 1, 2028, the Department must submit a progress report to the Legislature to provide information about the progress of the efforts to partner with all cities that impose a license requirement. Partnering cities may adopt a broad fee structure, but it must be within the Department's technological ability to administer. If the Department is unable to administer a city's fee structure, the city must work with the Department to adopt a fee structure that is administrable by the Department. If a city does not work with the Department, the city may not enforce its general business licensing requirements until the effective date of a fee structure that is administrable by the Department. Cities may not require businesses to renew a license more than once per year. The BLS is not required to accommodate fees imposed by a city on a business for failing to obtain or renew a license. The Department may refuse to administer any license ordinance that is inconsistent with the rest of this bill. The Department's authority to administer a partnering city's licensing laws is limited to: issuing or renewing licenses; and refusing to issue a license due to ail incomplete application, nonpayment of Fees, or penalties for late renewal. Partnering cities have the authority to set licensing 1`ees, provide exemptions and thresholds, approve or deny licenses, and take appropriate administrative action against licensees. Cities may only require a business to obtain or renew a license if they engage in business within the respective city. Partnering cities must provide the Department 75 days notice if tile city changes who must obtain a license, who is exempt from obtaining a license, or the amount or method of determining any fee to issue or renew a license. Cities. working through the AWC, must f6rni a committee to develop and adopt a general business licensing model ordinance by July 1, 2018, The ordinance must include a definition of "engaging in business within the city" and a uniform minimum licensing threshold under which a person is exempt fi-orn obtaining a license. Cities must adopt the provisions of the model ordinance by January 1, 2019, or they may not enforce their licensing requirements until they adopt the ordinance. Cities must coordinate with tile AWC to submit a report to the Governor, the Legislature, and stakeholders to provide information about the model ordinance and identify cities that have and have not adopted the provisions. The report must incorporate comments from statewide business organizations concerning the model ordinance House Bill Report .4. EFIB 2005 70 process and substance. Business organizations must be allowed 30 days to submit cornments, fear inclusion in the report. The Legislature directs cities, towns, and identified business organizations to partner and recommend changes to simplify the two-factor municipal B&O tax apportionment formula. The Local Business and Occupation Tax Apportionment Task Force must consist of the following seven representatives: three voting representatives selected by the AWC that are tax managers representing municipalities that impose a B&O tax, including at least one jurisdiction that has performed an audit where apportionment errors were discovered; three voting representatives selected by the AWB, including at least one tax practitioner or legal Counsel with experience representing business clients during municipal audits that involved apportionment errors or disputes; and one nonvoting representative front (lie Department who will serve as the task force chair. The Department will staff the task force. The task force may seek input or collaborate with other pat-ties if necessary. The task force must present its recommendations to the Legislature by October 31, 2018. Appropriation: None, Fiscal Note: Available. Effective Date: The bill takes effect 90 days after adJournment ol, the session in which the bill is passed. Staff Summary of Public Testimony: (In support) This bill continues several years of work by the committee to help small businesses with regulations and reports. ]'his bill is a proactive and reasonable step towards simplifying business regulation requirements. Representatives from cities and the business community have spent the last summer working on a task force in order to develop recommendations for improving the business licensing requirements. This bill reflects the cooperation, and compromise that took place during the work sessions, as well as represents a huge a11101,1114 of work and many unanimous decisions. The task force came to multiple tactical and strategic solutions to issues. Both the cities and business community agree that a "one-stop shop" model for obtaining a license and renewing licenses makes sense. The simplicity will increase compliance, get more businesses registered, and will result in significant time savings for small businesses, The Department's BLS is a logical centralized portal, The model ordinance will also help businesses comply with city licensing requirements. Recommendations on how to improve apportionment can be completed sooner than 20,18, and presented to the legislature next session. The apportionment system is broken, and no one defended it on the task force. To complete the recommendation, the right people need to be at the table to have the discussion. Home Bill Report - 5 - EHB 2005 71 The business community Supports this bill, Businesses are burdened with the current systern, and this helps alleviate the burden. It makes sense to simplify the administration. Multiple city requirements, locations, and differences in renewal dates makes it challenging to comply. Under this bill, the Department administers the licensing process, but the cities retain significant autonomy over their own rates and enforcement. This bill provides a number of safety valves with delays, long implementation tirnelines and exemptions for FileLocal, and findings of hardships in order to make sure the timeline works for participating cities and businesses. (Opposed) None. (Other) Cities should have the option to use HeLocal or reject participation, The hardship thresholds need to be reviewed and determined if they are appropriate. Cities with populations over ,500 have serious problems and should be granted flexibility as well. There should be ail advisory board to determine the right hardship parameters, Persons Testifying: (In support) Representative Lytton, prime sponser; Ron hieing and Eric Lohnes, Association of Washington Business; Roger Hygare, Flygare and Associates; Mark Johnson, Washington Retail Association; and Patrick Connor, National Federation of Independent Business. (('apposed) None. (Other) Peter King and Paul Roberts, Association of "Washington Cities; and Glen Lee, City of Seattle. Persons Signed In To Testify But Not Testifying: None.

PRESENTATIONS II. BUSINESSAGENDA A. Ordinance: Amending Municipal Code Chapter 5.04 Staff is seeking Council approval of an ordinance that would amend Tukwila Municipal Code Chapter 5.04, "Licenses Generally," to replace "FTE" with "employee" regarding the business license fee structure. Recent Washington State legislation will require the City to use the State's online business license system within the next few years, and staff recommends changing the current fee schedule to be based upon flat rates per employee totals to streamline the process in preparation for moving to the State system. The City's current method of using FTE hours to calculate the business license fees is confusing and time consuming for applicants, resulting in many errors requiring significant staff time to address. The proposed ordinance would instead assess a flat rate of $70 per full -time employee (defined as 30 hours or more each week) and $50 per part -time employee. Staff distributed a chart comparing the proposed rate vs the 2016 actual fees paid as well as a comprehensive list of business licenses as of June 13, 2017. Councilmember McLeod expressed concern about the proposed penalties for underreporting as described in Section F of the draft ordinance. Staff offered building in a grace period for underreporting and the Committee approved the amendment which will be reviewed by the City Attorney and included in the Ordinance. After more robust discussion, the Committee requested that the Committee of the Whole packet include the chart showing the comparison of proposed rate vs 2016 actuals. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL AS AMENDED.
