An ordinance amending Ordinance No. 2597, which adopted the City of Tukwila's biennial budget for the 2019-2020 biennium, to correct a math error in the amounts shown for the General Fund (Fund 000). MOVED BY HOUGARDY, SECONDED BY SEAL THAT THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE BE READ BY TITLE ONLY. MOTION CARRIED 6-0. Andy Youn, Deputy City Clerk, read the proposed ordinance by title only. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON, AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 2597, WHICH ADOPTED THE CITY OF TUKWILA'S BIENNIAL BUDGET FOR THE 2019-2020 BIENNIUM, TO CORRECT A MATH ERROR IN THE AMOUNTS SHOWN FOR THE GENERAL FUND (FUND 000); PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. MOVED BY HOUGARDY, SECONDED BY QUINN THAT THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE BE ADOPTED AS READ.* Tukwila City Council Special Minutes February 14, 2019 Page 3 of 4 Councilmember McLeod, Chair of the Finance Committee, said this item was discussed by the Committee, with unanimous approval. The ordinance that adopted the 2019-2020 biennial budget contained a math error in the General Fund. The General Fund budget did not include Council's intent regarding the property tax or sales tax revenue budget. At the Council Work Session on October 24, 2018, staff provided updated information on both property tax and sales tax revenue. The City had received updated property tax information from King County indicating that the property tax revenue budget could be increased by $250,000. Additionally, sales tax revenue in 2018 was exceeding budget by $132,000 and exceeded prior year revenue by $1.26 million. Due to the increased sales tax collections, the budget for sales tax in 2019 was to be increased by $650,000. There was Council consensus to include these increases in the budget adoption ordinance. The ordinance to adopt the budget was approved by Council on December 3, 2018. Due to a math error when drafting the budget ordinance, both the increase to property tax and sales tax revenue budgets were not included in the final ordinance presented to Council. This error impacted both 2019 and 2020 budgets and resulted in a General Fund budget that was adopted $1.8 million less than it should have been. All other changes requested by Council were included in the budget ordinance. This ordinance is not amending the adopted budget; it corrects a math error. By correcting the math error, the budget will fully reflect Council's intent. 2019 2020 Property tax $250k $250k Sales tax 650k 650k $900k $900k *MOTION CARRIED 6-0, TO ADOPT ORDINANCE NO. 2602. b. Approve a fireworks permit for the Seattle Seawolves Rugby Team for the 2019 season. This item was intended to be discussed at the February 4, 2019 Public Safety Committee meeting that was cancelled. The Seattle Seawolves Rugby Team would like to have pyrotechnics at their home games. Pyro and Fire FX, LLC on behalf of the Seattle Seawolves Rugby Team has requested approval for a fireworks permits for the Seawolves 2019 season home games, pursuant to RCW 70.77 and TMC Section 8.12.020. Pyro and Fire FX will be using the devices in the following manner. During the player intro videos, green and blue smoke SG18X grenades will be used. Then the players will enter the field between the two G-Flame units. During the national anthem the following pyrotechnics will be used: 4 comet 50's, Artillery plates, and 6 Mine 75's. The Cry 2 Jets are non -pyrotechnic devices which are fired after each score. The Seattle Seawolves Rugby Team would like to use fireworks during the opening ceremonies. Starfire Sports is supportive of the use of fireworks and has provided written documentation for this support. Staff has reviewed the submitted documents and supports the request. These fireworks are similar to those used during Sounders and Seahawks games. The pyrotechnic display for the Seawolves games do not have the size and complexity that are used during the July 4th event at Fort Dent. Staff are asking for an expedited schedule, so that it is approved for the next scheduled home game on February 17, 2019. MOVED BY KRULLER, SECONDED BY SEAL TO APPROVE A FIREWORKS PERMIT FOR THE SEATTLE SEAWOLVES RUGBY TEAM FOR THE 2019 SEASON. MOTION CARRIED 6-0. Tukwila City Council Special Minutes February 14, 2019 Page 4 of 4 c. A resolution amending the business license fee schedule to highlight the $2,000 exemption for outside contractors. MOVED BY SEAL, SECONDED BY ROBERTSON THAT THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION BE READ BY TITLE ONLY. MOTION CARRIED 6-0. Andy Youn, Deputy City Clerk, read the proposed resolution by title only. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON, REPEALING RESOLUTION NO. 1952 AND ADOPTING A REVISED BUSINESS LICENSE FEE SCHEDULE TO CLARIFY LICENSING REQUIREMENTS FOR PERSONS OR BUSINESSES OPERATING WITHIN THE CITY BOUNDARIES WITHOUT A PHYSICAL PRESENCE. MOVED BY SEAL, SECONDED BY HOUGARDY THAT THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION BE ADOPTED AS READ.* Councilmember McLeod, Chair of the Finance Committee, said this item was discussed by the Committee, with unanimous approval. At the October 15, 2018 Regular Meeting, Council approved Ordinance No. 2588 which adopted the "model ordinance" language required by the State. Included in this ordinance is language that exempts businesses operating within the City of Tukwila boundaries without a physical presence and with gross revenue less than $2,000 from paying a business license fee. At the November 19, 2018 Regular Meeting, Council approved Resolution No. 1952 that set the business license fees for 2019 and 2020. The resolution that was approved by Council included a business license fee of $100 for contractors operating within the City of Tukwila boundaries without a physical presence. The legislation was reviewed by the State prior to moving through the Committee and Council process. The City is set to officially transition the business license function to the State effective March 28, 2019. Before the State will allow the transition to occur, we are required to update the fee resolution to include the exemption language for those businesses without a physical presence and where gross revenue does not exceed $2,000. *MOTION CARRIED 6-0, TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 1957.
