I. BUSINESS AGENDA
th
A. South 140 Street Pedestrian Improvements
Staff updated the Committee on the status of pedestrian improvements near the Abu Bakr
Islamic Center on Tukwila International Boulevard. The design contract with KPG, Inc. has
been approved by the City Attorney and once signed by the Mayor, work can proceed soon
after. Two speed signs have been installed in the median as well as a limited parking sign on
st
141. The Transportation Improvement Board will meet in mid-November for decision-
making on grant applications. Committee members urged staff to work closely with the
Islamic Center during the design process. Councilmember Quinn requested including data
from the speed collection signs in future agenda packets. Chair McLeod asked if the design
could be expedited and staff replied that the work will be done as quickly as possible.
DISCUSSION ONLY.
B. Traffic Calming Program
The Committee has been discussing and reviewing a priority list of projects to consider for
neighborhood calming over the course of several months this year. In addition, staff is
working on a formal Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program to present to the Council for
adoption by the end of the year. The Program is based upon the original 2005 program but
includes updates to the criteria and scoring methodology and will determine the projects
for the $400K annual traffic calming budget. Committee members discussed the project
and asked clarifying questions. Councilmember Quinn suggested that in future years the
Transportation & Infrastructure Committee should review the program and list of projects.
He also suggested that staff conduct outreach via neighborhood meetings as well as
strengthen communication with the Mayorittee
on this. Chair McLeod noted that Ryan Hill is not represented on the list of projects and
outreach should be done to that neighborhood during the implementation phase. He also
mentioned that an equitable traffic calming process will require partnership from the
Mayor, as he can make discretionary decisions under the $40K threshold. The City Council
hears from the community with requests all the time. Councilmember Idan agreed there
should be improved transparency around this topic. RETURN TO COMMITTEE.

C. Contract: 2019 Overlay & Repair Program
Staff is seeking Council approval of a contract with KPG, Inc. in the amount of $156,172.00
for design of the 2019 Overlay and Repair Program. Committee members and staff
discussed that design contracts differ from construction contracts in that they do not have
to be bid. Cities can choose the best qualified designer for a project and KPG was selected
due to their qualifications and experience with Tukwila. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.
FORWARD TO NOVEMBER 5, 2018 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA.
D. Resolution: 2019 Legislative Agenda
Staff is seeking Council approval of a resolution that would adopt a legislative agenda for
use in Olympia during the next session. The Legislative Agenda provides direction to staff
on policy positions. Tukwila, Jennifer Ziegler, has notified the City she is
going to discontinue service and staff will return with a proposal for a replacement. The
draft Agenda includes relevant additions and deletions including reference to the
Allentown Bridge, reestablishing the Streamlined Sales Tax Mitigation payments, and
changing the day fate for inmates to ensure equitable reimbursements to facilities like
SCORE. Councilmember Quinn suggested adding language referencing the efforts of the
Streamlined Sales Tax mitigation tax force. Staff will prepare an amendment for the
Committee of the Whole. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO NOVEBMER 13, 2018
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
E. Interlocal Agreement: SeaTac International Airport Impact Study
Staff is seeking Council approval of an interlocal agreement with SeaTac, Normandy Park,
Burien, Federal Way, and Des Moines that outlines the local matching funds for the Sea-Tac
Airport Impact Study as required in the State budget proviso. The City Council previously
approved Tukwila. Since the last briefing, the Department of
Commerce has changed the format of the regular meetings of the six cities to include one
community representative from each and for the meetings to be open to the public.
Tukwila former Mayor Jim Haggerton. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.
