INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Haggerton
FINANCE AND SAFETY COMMITTEE
FROM: Katherine Kertzman
TOURISM PROGRAM MANAGER
DATE: September 14, 2011
SUBJECT: Multiple year multiple media advertising agreement with Bonneville
International
ISSUE
The Council is being asked to authorize the Mayor to sign a multiple year multiple media
advertising agreement with Bonneville International on behalf of Seattle Southside Visitor
Services (SSVS).
BACKGROUND
SSVS is nearing completion of an exclusive 5 months multiple media advertising beta test with
Bonneville International that includes on -air commercials during prime daytime drive times on
KIRO -FM and KTTH -AM radio, on -line banner ads for MyNorthwest.com and RSS feed from
SeattleSouthside.com /special deals to NorthwestTraveI Deals. com and utilization of an opt -in
database collected through NorthwestTravel Deals. com to reconnect with prospects with e-
communications and promos from Seattle Southside. The attached materials are from the
SeaTac Hotel Motel Advisory Committee review providing the background information of the
beta test outcomes.
Seattle Southside.com continues to be one of SSVS' most successful marketing tools used to
reach potential travelers, providing them with visitor information that generate sales leads.
Consistently marketing the website in a variety of ways is the key to gaining exposure and
getting a consistent flow of traffic into the website.
Bonneville is an award winning, dynamic media company with radio, television, online, satellite,
and advertising properties in Los Angeles, Seattle, Phoenix, and Salt Lake City. The company
has a long- standing reputation and is known industry-wide for its innovative business model, its
values- oriented programming, and for its nationally recognized commitment to serving the
communities where it broadcasts. Through a multi -media strategy of radio commercials directs
listeners to SeattleSouthside.com for details of Seattle Southside events and to
MyNWtraveldeals.com for details regarding special offers available in Seattle Southside.
MyNWtraveldeals.com in turn provides links to every page on the SSVS website that promotes
a special offer. The SSVS web pages in turn allow visitors to book packages through our hotels.
This strategy has garnered much success evidenced by the growth of:
monthly unique website visits,
page view rankings for packages and promotions,
requests received through the SeattleSouthside.com website,
conversions (hotel reservations made through the website).
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
SeattleSouthside.com is currently the 4 most visited destination on the MyNorthwest.com
website year to date. Additionally, the campaign offers excellent visibility throughout Western
Washington with radio promotions for SSVS deals and local events such as the Backyard
Wildlife Festival, Blues and Brews Festivals, and more. Bonneville estimated the radio and
digital campaign for each promo or event reaches 350,000 people 2 -3 times each.
Over 80% of the visits to the Seattle Southside website from the MyNorthwest.com website
during the Beta period were from first -time visitors meaning this strategy is drawing people that
were not finding the website through other means. Plus visitors stayed on the Seattle Southside
website an average of 2.75 minutes and visited more than three pages long enough to make a
positive decision to click to a lodging venue's website or to click to the reservation booking
page.
In addition, the strategy produced direct traffic to the Seattle Southside website through voice
referrals in radio promotions. However, this traffic is more difficult to quantify but general
awareness is achieved as is evidenced by the increase in attendees for the Backyard Wildlife
Event, and more.
The campaign began in April 2011 and ran for 5 months as a beta test at a cost of $6,000
monthly totaling $30,000. The campaign was funded jointly by lodging tax from the 4 SSVS
participating cities: Tukwila, SeaTac, Kent and Des Moines. Seattle Southside has noted the
following:
Both the radio spots and the website layout are very well executed.
Listener and website visitor volumes are significantly higher than similar radio stations
and websites.
Both the radio spots and website promote Seattle Southside area events and special
offers.
The website links to every page on Seattle Southside's website that promotes a special
offer.
Links are updated nightly via an automated RSS feed. Seattle Southside staff does not
need to expend time reentering items that are already entered on the Seattle Southside
website.
Links pass Google Page Rank to Seattle Southside web pages.
Links from the website to Seattle Southside began in mid -April 2011. Since that time the
links have produced 487 visits. 83.16% of these visits were new visits to the Seattle
Southside website.
The visits have resulted in an average of 3.16 pages /visit and 2 minutes 46 seconds on
site (long enough to make a positive decision or to link out to partner sites).
Lodging properties have reported reservations that specifically were generated from
visitors that originated from this website.
As of August 3 rd Bonneville has procured an email list of 730 members. Once this
number reaches 1,000 an e- newsletter will be launched and Seattle Southside events
and special offers will be promoted in this additional medium. It is expected that this will
occur before year end.
ANALYSIS
The second phase of the campaign will begin Nov. 2011 at $6,000 a month for 14 months not to
exceed $84,000. Staff was able to negotiate lock in pricing, bonus radio time and an exclusivity

agreement on Northwest Travel Deals for each paid month locking out Seattle, Renton,
Federal Way, Auburn SSVS's nearby competition.
The Bonneville International multiple media advertising strategies were reviewed by the SeaTac
Hotel Motel Tax Advisory Committee on June 8, 2011 and recommended for continuance.
The agreement is scheduled to be reviewed at the Monday, September 19, 2011 Tukwila
Lodging Tax Advisory Committee meeting.
Budget impacts: There is no additional budget request for this item. The cost for this work is
included within the Council approved 2011 -2012 Budget; some months will be paid by "SeaTac
Only" account that is funded 100% by the City of SeaTac; the balance will be paid out of the
"Joint Media Buy" account that is funded by the 4 SSVS participating cities: Tukwila, SeaTac,
Kent and Des Moines. However, because the proposal amount is over $40,000, it requires
Council approval.
Since this is a tourism program item, the costs will be paid out of lodging taxes, not the City's
general fund.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is also asked to consider this item at the September 26, 2011 Committee of the
Whole meeting and subsequent October 3, 2011 Regular meeting.

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Haggerton
Finance Safety Committee
FROM: Peggy McCarthy, Acting Finance Director
DATE: September 14, 2011
SUBJECT: Refunding of Limited Tax General Obligation Bonds 2003
ISSUE
Approve the refunding of Limited Tax General Obligation Bonds 2003.
BACKGROUND
The City issued $12,050,000 of limited tax general obligation bonds in 2003 to finance
Arterial Street Fund -104 capital improvements, the South Park Bridge transfer and various
other projects, and to finance the construction of the golf course clubhouse. Of the total
issue, $6,277,500 was allocated to the Arterial Street Fund -104 and $5,772,500 was
allocated to the Golf Course Fund -411. The outstanding balance of these bonds is
currently $8,930,000 with $5,691,175 owing on the arterial street allocation and $3,238,825
owing on the golf course allocation. Since these bonds cannot be called, or redeemed, until
December 1, 2013, the refunding would defease, or set aside sufficient funds from the
refunding proceeds, to pay -off the bonds maturing through December 13, 2013 and then to
pay the redemption price (face value) for the bonds remaining at December 1, 2013. At
December 1, 2013, $7,270,000 of the bond issue will be outstanding with $4,633,241 of the
arterial street allocation outstanding and $2,636,759 of the golf course allocation
outstanding. If the bonds are refunded, the new bonds would not be available for early
redemption until December 1, 2022. The net benefit to the City of this refunding $122,376
for the 411 Golf Course Fund, and $215,037 for the 104 Arterial Street Fund, for an
estimated total savings of $337,413.
DISCUSSION
The City will benefit financially by refunding these bonds. If early redemption of the golf
course bond allocation is being considered, the arterial street portion of the bond issue
could be refunded now and the golf course portion of the bond issue could be redeemed on
December 1, 2013. The outstanding balance of the golf course portion of the bond issue
would be $2,636,759 on December 1, 2013.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to consider this item at the September 26, 2011 Committee of
the Whole meeting and the subsequent October 3, 2011 Regular Meeting.

Section 9. Redemption Provisions and Open Market Purchase of Bonds.
A. Optional Redemption. The Bonds maturing in the years 2012 through
2021, inclusive, shall be issued without the right or option of the City to redeem those
Bonds prior to their stated maturity dates. The City reserves the right and option to

purchased or defeased (irrespective of their actual redemption or purchase prices) shall
be credited against one or more scheduled mandatory redemption amounts for those
Term Bonds. The City shall determine the manner in which the credit is to be allocated
and shall notify the Bond Registrar in writing of its allocation prior to the earliest
mandatory redemption date for that maturity of Term Bonds for which notice of
redemption has not already been given.
C. Partial Redemptions. Portions of the principal amount of any Bond, in any
Authorized Denomination, may be redeemed. If less than all of the principal amount of
any Bond is redeemed, upon surrender of that Bond to the Bond Registrar, there shall
be issued to the Registered Owner, without charge, a new Bond (or Bonds, at the option
of the Registered Owner) of the same maturity and interest rate in any Authorized
Denomination in the aggregate principal amount remaining unredeemed.
D. Open Market Purchase. The City further reserves the right and option to
purchase any or all of the Bonds in the open market at any time at any price acceptable

W: Word Processing \Ordinances\2003 Bond Refunding 9 -14 -2011
PM:mrh Page 8 of 19
in
redemption shall be randomly within a maturity in such manner as the Bond Registrar
shall determine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for as long as the Bonds are registered
in the name of DTC or its nominee, selection of Bonds for redemption shall be in
accordance with the Letter of Representations.
F. Cancellation of Bonds. All Bonds purchased or redeemed under this
section shall be canceled.
G. Notice of Redemption. While the Bonds are held by DTC in book -entry

manner required by DTC in accordance with the Letter of Representations, and the
Bond Registrar shall not be required to give any other notice of redemption. If the
Bonds cease to be in book -entry only form unless waived by any Registered Owner of
the Bonds to be redeemed, the City shall cause notice of any intended redemption of
Bonds to be given by the Bond Registrar not less than 20 nor more than 60 days prior to
the date fixed for redemption by first -class mail, postage prepaid, to the Registered
Owner of any Bond to be redeemed at the address appearing on the Bond Register at
the time the Bond Registrar prepares the notice, and the requirements of this sentence
shall be deemed to have been fulfilled when notice has been mailed as so provided,
whether or not it is actually received by the Registered or Beneficial Owner of any Bond.
In the case of an optional redemption, the notice may state that the City retains
the right to rescind the redemption notice and the related optional redemption of Bonds
by giving a notice of rescission to the affected Registered Owners at any time prior to
the scheduled optional redemption date. Any notice of optional redemption that is so
rescinded shall be of no effect, and the Bonds for which the notice of optional
redemption has been rescinded shall remain outstanding.
In addition, the redemption notice shall be mailed or sent electronically within the
same period to the MSRB, consistent with the Undertaking, to any nationally recognized
rating agency which at the time maintains a rating on the Bonds at the request of the
City, and to such other persons and with such additional information as the Finance
Director shall determine, but these additional mailings shall not be a condition precedent
to the redemption of Bonds.
H. Effect of Redemption. Interest on Bonds called for redemption shall cease
to accrue on the date fixed for redemption, except in the case of a rescinded optional
redemption as described above, or unless the Bond or Bonds called are not redeemed
when presented pursuant to the call.
I. Failure To Redeem Bonds. If any Bond is not redeemed when properly
presented at its maturity or date set for redemption, the City shall be obligated to pay
interest on that Bond at the same rate provided in the Bond from and after its maturity or
date set for redemption until that Bond, both principal and interest, is paid in full or until
sufficient money for its payment in full is on deposit in the Bond Fund and the Bond has
been called for payment by giving notice of that call to the Registered Owner.

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Haggerton
Finance Safety Committee
FROM: Peggy McCarthy, Acting Finance Director
DATE: September 14, 2011
SUBJECT: Early Redemption of Revenue Bonds 1995
ISSUE
On September 13, 2011, the Utilities Committee approved the early redemption of Revenue
Bonds 1995 and unanimously agreed to move this item forward to the September 19, 2011
Committee of the Whole Council meeting. This memorandum is for your information only.
BACKGROUND
The City issued $4,500,000 of revenue bonds in 1995 to finance Water Fund -401 capital
improvements. The outstanding balance of these bonds is $1,370,000 (face value) with the next
mandatory bond redemption occurring February 1, 2012 and the last mandatory bond
redemption occurring February 1, 2015. An optional redemption clause allows the City to
redeem, or pay -off, these bonds at 100% of face value on February 1, 2007 and thereafter.
Interest payments that would be made over this three year period (February 1, 2012 to February
1, 2015) should the bonds not be redeemed before the next interest payment date total
$188,813 and represent a 4.6% per annum interest rate ($188,813 interest $1,370,000
balance 3 year period).
If the bonds were redeemed on November 1, 2011, the total pay -off would approximate
$1,392,690 comprised of the bond principal of $1,370,000 and the estimated accrued interest of
$22,690. Under this scenario, the interest cost savings to the City would be $166,123 (total
interest payments of $188,813 due February 1, 2012 to February 1, 2015 less accrued interest
from August 1, 2011 through November 1, 2011 of $22,690). The Water Fund -401 had $4
million in cash and investments as of July 31, 2011.
DISCUSSION
The City will benefit financially by early redemption of these bonds. If the $1,370,000 were
invested in a 3 -year Treasury note at today's interest rate of .35 $4,795 would be generated
in annual investment earnings or $14,385 for the 3 -year period. The net benefit to the City of
using these funds to pay -off the bonds would be over $150,000 represented by the bond
interest cost savings of $166,123 less the investment earnings opportunity cost of $14,385.

Revenue Generating Regulatory License (RGRL) Information on Non
Profit businesses
The Finance Department is responding to information requested by members of the
Finance and Safety Committee regarding the non profit exemption status in the City and
the impact on revenues should that exemption be lifted.
BACKGROUND
At the June 7, 2011 Finance and Safety Committee meeting, committee members
requested additional information from staff regarding the revenue impacts if the City
decided to remove the non profit exemption from businesses with certain employee
count thresholds as follows:
Impact on revenue upon removing the non profit exemption from businesses
with more than 20 employees
Impact on revenue upon removing the non profit exemption from businesses
with more than 50 employees
Impact on revenue upon removing the non profit exemption from businesses
with more than 75 employees
Impact on revenue upon removing the non profit exemption from businesses
with more than 100 employees
DISCUSSION
Tukwila Municipal Code Section 5.62.040.A.1 provides an exemption from the RGRL
fee of $55 per full -time equivalent employee for IRS 501(c)(3) tax exempt organizations,
governmental entities, non profits operating for religious purposes, as well as civic
groups, service clubs and social organizations. The second largest employer in the City
is a tax exempt 501(c)(3) organization. There are currently 76 businesses in Tukwila
operating under a non profit exemption employing over 4,000 employees.
Not including governmental agencies, if all of the businesses who qualified for a non-
profit exemption had paid the RGRL fee, the City would have received over $146,000.
35
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
There are 52 businesses with counts of less than 20 full -time equivalent employees. If
these businesses were to be assessed the RGRL fees, it would generate approximately
$14,000 in revenues to the City.
Of the nine non profit employers in Tukwila with more than 20 but less than 50 full -time
equivalent employees, it could produce over $15,000 in revenue from additional RGRL
fees.
One organization having over 50 but less than 75 full -time equivalent employees would
create $3,800 in additional revenue from RGRL assessed fees.
There are two governmental entities having over 75 full -time equivalent employees,
however, they are excluded from this analysis.
There are two Tukwila businesses with over 100 full -time equivalent employees which
could generate approximately $114,000 in additional City revenue from RGRL fees.
RECOMMENDATION
This item is for information only. No recommendation on changes to the RGRL
ordinance is made at this time. Any proposed changes by committee members will be
incorporated into a future agenda item for the Finance and Safety Committee.
