INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Public Safety Committee
FROM: Laurel Humphrey, Council Analyst
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: August 16, 2017 (Updated following 8121 Committee Meeting)
SUBJECT: Vision Statement for Design of Justice Center
ISSUE
The Public Safety Plan approved by Tukwila Voters at the November 8, 2016 General Election
provides for the construction of a Justice Center to house the Police Department and Municipal
Court. The architects selected to design and engineer the new building intend to facilitate a
visioning session with programming participants to identify and prioritize values and goals for
the Project. The City Council desires to adopt a vision statement to set the tone for this work.
DISCUSSION
Staff has prepared the following draft vision statement for the Committee to consider and
expand upon.
The Tukwila City Council looks forward to a community Justice Center that is modern,
secure, and efficient in its delivery of outstanding Police and Court services. We envision
a beautiful building that is aesthetically reflective of Tukwila's historical and cultural
character, environmentally and fiscally responsible, and that will serve as a safe and
inclusive space that will foster pride in our community.
On August 21, 2017 the Public Safety Committee reviewed the draft and requested additional
language regarding the siting criteria and the new building fitting into existing neighborhood
design and land use. Staff incorporated the feedback into the following draft:
The Tukwila Citv Council looks forward to a community Justice Center that is modern
secure, and efficient in its delivery of outstanding Police and Court services. We
envision a beautiful building that is aesthetically reflective of Tukwila's historical and
cultural character, environmentally and fiscally responsible, and that will serve as a safe
and inclusive space that will foster pride in our community. The location of the Justice
Center must be responsive to the siting criteria that was previously adopted by Council
with input from the community, and the building design should be respectful of the
existing neighborhood character and surrounding land use.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is seeking Committee input on the draft vision statement and a recommendation to the
Committee of the Whole, potentially on August 28, 2017.

I. ANNOUNCEMENT
II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Code Enforcement Update
Staff updated the Committee on current Code Enforcement activities and recently resolved
cases. The division will be fully staffed by September and is working on resolving old casefiles.
Since January cases in all categories have been reduced and those open for more than 3 years
have been reduced by 61%. The average number of days to close a case is 39 days as opposed
to 88 days for cases in 2016. Staff is working with the City Prosecutor and City Attorney to
develop a more streamlined enforcement process and will be returningwith the proposed code
amendments on September 5. Staff is also working on a project to update residential use
definitions to resolve discrepancies within the code. Committee members and staff discussed
the impact that universal garbage collection would have on neighborhoods. Councilmember
Quinn suggested that repeat code violators could be put into corrective status and required to
subscribe to garbage service, while responsible self -haulers could still opt out. He also stated
the importance of paying attention to equity issues around a complaint based enforcement
system. Chair McLeod noted that he recently heard from a resident dissatisfied with the length
of the permitting process. Staff will follow up with that person directly. DISCUSSION ONLY.
B. City Council Vision Statement for Design of Justice Center
The City Council desires to adopt a vision statement to kick off the design process for the new
Justice Center to be constructed as part of the Public Safety Plan. Staff prepared the following
draft for Committee review, which also incorporated suggestions from Chair McLeod:
The Tukwila City Council looks forward to a community Justice Center that is modern,

a beautiful building that is aesthetically reflective of Tukwila's historical and cultural
character, environmentally and fiscally responsible, and that will serve as a safe and
inclusive space that will foster pride in our community.
