I. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Resolution: King County Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan
Staff is seeking Council approval of a resolution that would adopt King County's Comprehensive
Solid Waste Management Plan, which is pending approval of cities representing at least 75% of the
population during the 120-day approval period. The Plan outlines programs to prevent, recycle, and
dispose of waste, and includes six major planning elements: existing solid waste system, forecasting
& data, recycling, transfer& processing, disposal & landfill management, and finance. UNANIMOUS
APPROVAL. FORWARD TO SEPTEMBER 3, 2019 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA.
B. Interlocal Purchasing Agreement: Job Order Contracting
Staff is seeking Council approval of an Interlocal Joint Purchasing Agreement with the City of
Bellevue which would provide access to the use of their Job Order Contract (JOC) for a
maximum amount of $1,000,000. A JOC is a State -approved procurement method in which a
contractor agrees to provide an indefinite quantity delivery of negotiated and definitive work
orders from a pre -established catalog on contracts over a fixed period. The City of Bellevue's
JOC has a $4 million capacity per year over three years, and this Agreement would allow
Tukwila to use up to $1 million of this capacity over the same period. The maximum dollar
amount for any one work order is $500,000. Committee members discussed the proposal and
requested that staff present this to the Committee of the Whole since it is a new method of
procurement for the City. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO SEPTEMBER 9, 2019
COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
C. Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program
Staff provided a summary of progress and efforts to date for the Neighborhood Traffic Calming
Program, which was adopted in 2018 by Resolution 1955 to address residents' concerns about
traffic safety. The program is taking off and staff has been installing Level 1 treatments that
include new permanent speed feedback signs, LED enhanced signs, and parking restriction signs.
Requests for new crosswalks have come in, but these require engineering study and are classified
as a Level 2 treatment under the Program. Staff has contracted KPG, Inc. for assistance with
engineering and may require use of other consultants in the future. Committee members and
staff reviewed a matrix of requests that indicates rank, location, assessment information, status
and more. Councilmembers asked clarifying questions. Chair Idan suggested adding requests and
their status to the City's website. FORWARD BRIEFING TO AUGUST 26, 2019 COMMITTEE OF THE
WHOLE.

II. MISCELLANEOUS
Staff provided an overview of current issues related to SeaTac International Airport. Tukwila
participates in the SeaTac Airport Stakeholder Advisory Round Table (StART), along with other
cities, the Port, FAA, Delta, Alaska, and a cargo representative. The cities of Burien and Des
Moines have recently suspended participation in this committee due to concerns around
effectiveness and not receiving proper notice of Port Commission actions impacting the airport
communities. Administration recommends the City of Tukwila continue participation in StART
as having a voice at the table is better than not. Committee members spoke in favor of
remaining in StART.
The Transportation Committee Meeting adjourned at 7:02 p.m.
