INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Haggerton
Finance and Safety Committee
FROM: Jennifer Ferrer -Santa Ines, Senior Fiscal Coordinator
DATE: October 12, 2011
SUBJECT: Update language to reflect Finance assuming Business Licensing
from the City Clerk office and repeal Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC)
Chapter 5.32
ISSUE
The "Business Licenses and Regulations" section of the TMC was last updated in May
2011 by Ordinance No. 2333. Numerous sections of Title 5 of the TMC still contain
language referencing the City Clerk's office as the issuing department for business
licenses.
TMC Chapter 5.32, "Trailer Parks," regulations were written in 1959 and are now
outdated.
BACKGROUND
On November 15, 2010, Council adopted proposed language for the issuing department
from the City Clerk's office to the Finance Department. This change, however, was only
reflected in Title 5, Chapter 5.04. The Finance Department has assumed all business
license responsibilities from the City Clerk's office and as such should be reflected in
TMC Title 5.
Trailer Park establishments were annexed into Tukwila and regulated under King
County. Chapter 5.32 of the Code was never applied or enforced and is no longer
needed.
DISCUSSION
Since the Finance Department has become the issuing office of Business Licenses, the
Code language needs to be updated to reflect this change in its entirety. Currently the
Code only reflects this change in Title 5, Chapter 5.04. The remaining sections of Title
5 need to be updated to reflect this change.
Trailer Parks are treated like any other organization operating in the City with the
requirement to obtain a valid business license and pay the applicable Revenue
Generating Regulatory License (RGRL) fee.

TMC 5.32.

the Whole Meeting and the November 7, 2011 Regular Meeting.

II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Business Licensine and Revenue Generatine Reeulatory License Fee
Staff is seeking Council approval of the following items relative to Business Licensing and/or the
Revenue Generating Regulatory License Fee:
Ordinance: Business License Relating to Housekeevine Items
Staff is seeking Council approval of an ordinance that will make housekeeping changes to the current
Business License ordinance. Last year, the Finance Department assumed the responsibilities of business
licensing from the City Clerk's Office. The proposed modifications are summarized below:
Change all references from City Clerk designation to Finance Director and/or Department as
appropriate.
Remove section relative to Trailer Park Establishments as the Code is outdated and no longer
needed.
Other operational efficiencies including, but not limited to: requiring a UBI number and mirroring
sections relative to cabarets for clarity and consistency.
Committee Members were in agreement regarding the above proposed changes. UNANIMOUS
APPROVAL. FORWARD TO OCTOBER 24 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
Ordinance: Combined Fee Business License Revenue Generating Regulatory Licensing (RGRL)
Staff is seeking Council approval of an ordinance that implements a combined business license and
RGRL fee of $67 per full -time equivalent (FTE). Per direction and requests given at the September 7,
2011, Finance Safety Committee meeting, staff has conducted public outreach regarding this proposed
change including: a presentation at the Chamber, direct mail, utility billing inserts and information made
available via the City website.
Staff received 11 written comments from the above outlined outreach, with both negative and positive
comments regarding the fee combination as well as general comments about the RGRL implementation.
Implementation of a combined fee will benefit over 70% of Tukwila businesses which will be paying less
than last year's total assessment for the business license and RGRL fees.
In addition to assessing this $67 structured fee, which offers ease of application, uniformity and
proportionality, staff is proposing the ordinance be amended to specifically exempt court interpreters from
