INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor Haggerton
City Councilmembers
FROM:
Shelley M. Kerslake, City Attorney
DATE:
November 16, 2011
SUBJECT:
Social Card Rooms
ISSUE
Whether to repeal Ordinance 2323, in part, to allow social card rooms in the City of Tukwila.
BACKGROUND
Ordinanace 2323, Section 2, prohibits the operation or conduct of social card rooms within the
City of Tukwila, effective January 1, 2016. At the November 8, 2011 General Election, the City
of Tukwila put forth Advisory Measure No. 1 to ask the City's voters whether social card rooms
should be allowed in Tukwila. In response to Advisory Measure No. 1, a majority of the City's
voters advised the Council of the desire to allow social card rooms in Tukwila.
DISCUSSION
The Council has expressed a desire to implement the will of the voters by repealing Section 2 of
Ordinance 2323; thereby allowing social card rooms to continue in the City of Tukwila. This
action does not impact other recent changes to social card room regulations, such as late
payment penalties and tax rates.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to consider the proposed ordinance at the November 28, 2011
Committee of the Whole and December 5, 2011 Regular Meeting.
