INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Haggerton
Finance and Safety Committee
FROM: Stephanie Brown, Human Resources Director
DATE: November 16, 2011
SUBJECT: 2012 Non Represented Wages
At the October 18, 2011 meeting of the Finance and Safety Committee, the committee
requested additional information from staff regarding the analysis conducted on the non
represented wage and benefit study. This information will be brought back for
discussion at the November 22, 2011 Finance and Safety Committee meeting.
ISSUE
2012 Non Represented Wage Schedule analysis based on external comparables and
internal equity.
BACKGROUND
In alignment with Resolution No. 1537, establishina a Non Represented (NR)
Employees' Compensation Plan, a wage study has been conducted for calendar year
2012. The resolution requires that a market analysis be done every other year for the
upcoming year for Non Represented positions. The current analysis has been
conducted based on information in the Association of Washington Cities (AWC) 2011
Salary and Benefit Study. As in the past, a comparison was done of external
comparables (cities) and internal equity (union pay scales).
The following comparable cities were used for this study:
Comnarables
Auburn Bothell Puyallup
Kent Kirkland Sea -Tac
Lynnwood Mountlake Terrace
Redmond Renton
DISCUSSION
In 2009, a non represented market study reflected that relative to the market, the non
represented employees were falling behind. Fairly soon after the study, the economy
took a major hit and with it a shift in how wages and benefits were considered by the
cities going into 2010. Upon presenting the wage study to the City Council, a decision
7
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
was made that in 2010 non represented positions banded at levels Al 1 -D61 would
receive an average wage increase of 4.14% based on the 2009 market study, and
positions banded D62-Fl 02 would receive no market increase, and their wages have
been frozen at the 2009 salary level since that time.
The strategy to address the City budget shortfall in 2010 was to request our represented
and non represented employees take reductions in wages and /or benefits for 2011. As
a result, our Fire Union and Non Represented employees did not receive COLA
increases this year, and the remaining represented employees (Teamsters' and USW
Non Commissioned) received their negotiated cost of living adjustments. The Police
Guild contract expired in December 2010. Attached to this memorandum is a table that
shows the wage and cost of living adjustments (COLA) for all groups since 2009.
Internal equity continues to create a wage gap as the represented groups receive
negotiated cost of living adjustments. In looking at the internal equity issue, the non
represented top step wage information is compared to the represented top step for
2011, which shows the represented wages have increased 3% to 6 This is also
becoming apparent in upper level management positions where first level supervisors
are earning a higher wage then Assistant or Department Directors whose wages are at
2009 salary levels.
In light of the above, it is important to keep the non represented wages consistently
moving in alignment with the market and with represented wages. In addition, we must
remain competitive in salary and benefits to retain existing staff and attract applicants to
positions at the City.
There has been some improvement in the wages of our competing jurisdictions as the
market study has shown. We also are seeing a resurgence of competition for upper
level management positions. If we do not bring our salaries in alignment with the
market, we will be faced with the possibility of losing key upper level management
positions, which will have an effect on our succession plans into the future.
The Decision Band Methodology (DBM) and regression line analysis have been
completed for the non represented market study using the data from the 2011 AWC
salary study in determining the "best line of match The analysis shows that positions
banded at D62 -F102 are below market, and positions banded at A11 -D61 are at market.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The following Non Represented employee wage increase for 2012 is presented to
the Mayor and Council for consideration:
Approve the 2012 Non Represented salary schedule, effective January 1, 2012
providing a market wage adjustment as determined by regression analysis (see
attached draft resolution), for positions banded D62 -F102, which provides for
external comparability and internal equity; and provide a three percent (3
increase to those at the A, B, C, and D61 levels (generally technical and staff
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 3
support levels), in order to maintain internal equity for these positions, which
have more internal similarity with the represented positions.
The estimated cost to implement this increase for wages is $162,390. The market
adjustment, and internal three percent (3% eauitv increase to the overall non
represented salary schedule is $4,071,042,which is below the 2012 budget of
$4,161.988.
The Benefit change for 2012 for non represented employees is to reduce the amount
the City funds for medical contributions from 10% down to 8 (See attached benefit
summary sheet) This change is reflective of the City Council's interest in aligning with
our comparable jurisdictions in employee cost sharing for their medical insurance. The
City Council is being asked to consider this change along with the adjustments to the
wages for non represented employees.
MAYOR'S RECOMMENDATION:
The Mayor has reviewed the wage scenario above. He recognizes the current budget
concerns however, he realizes the need to keep in alignment with the external market,
decrease the internal equity compression, and remain competitive for salaries with our
comparable jurisdictions for upper management level positions.
Therefore, he recommends the City Council approve the 2012 Non Represented salary
and benefits effective January 1, 2012, which provides for a market adjustment as
determined by the regression analysis for positions banded D62 -F102, and provide a
three (3 increase to those at A, B, C, and D61 levels in order to maintain internal
equity for these positions, which have internal similarity with the represented positions.
The Council is being asked to consider this issue at the November 28, 2011 Committee
of the Whole meeting, and December 5, 2011, Regular meeting.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
TUKWILA, WASHINGTON, UPDATING AND CLARIFYING THE
NON REPRESENTED EMPLOYEES' COMPENSATION AND
ADOPTING THE NON REPRESENTED SALARY SCHEDULE
AND BENEFITS SUMMARY, EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2012.
WHEREAS, the Tukwila City Council has conducted a review of the non
represented employees' compensation system that was originally implemented in
January 1998; and
WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes that current economic conditions and
forecasts are a consideration in actions that deal with the compensation of employees;
and
WHEREAS, the City Council has made a determination to review the non
represented compensation for even numbered years and provide cost -of- living
allowances (COLAs) in odd numbered years; and
WHEREAS, a compensation study has been conducted and the recommended
non represented wage schedule and benefit information has been prepared for
implementation on January 1, 2012;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA,
WASHINGTON, HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The following statements have been used for the purpose of adopting
the non represented employees' wages for 2012 and consideration for future years.
A. The following basic plan elements remain the same:
1. Decision Band Methodology (DBM) for creating classifications.
2. Market analysis using comparable jurisdictions' top -step wages.
3. Data was gathered through use of the "Association of Washington Cities
(AWC) Salary and Benefits Survey a publication that garners wide participation of our
comparables.
W: \Word Process ing \Resolutions \N on-Re presented Employees Compensation -2012 10 -11 -11
sB:bjs Page 1 of 3
11
4. Regression line analysis to establish the Control Point for each DBM rating.
(Regression Line Analysis provided by Fox Lawson Associates, LLC, based on
Human Resources Department acquired market data).
5. Steps below the Control Point (Wage Schedule Top Step) are automatic as
individuals move through the system.
6. Ranges for all bands (A11 -F102) of the Decision Band Methodology have
been established based on the outcome of the regression analysis (line of best fit) in
creating the 2012 wage schedule.
7. Ranges A11 -D61 wages for 2012 will receive a 3% wage adjustment on
January 1, 2012 for positions in these Decision Bands.
8. Ranges D62 -F102 wages for 2012 are based on the outcome of the trend
line analysis. Wage increases for these Decision Bands shall be as shown on the
attached Salary Schedule, "Attachment A."
9. A "market adjustment" is normally applied to a position when the wage
survey results establish a new control point, and internal compression exists within the
career ladder, or where there is difficulty in recruiting and /or retaining qualified
employees. In order to assure that the integrity of the Decision Band Method is
maintained, while recognizing a wage gap based on market conditions for a specific
position, the "market adjustments" may be made in future years. When implemented,
the "market adjustment" shall be calculated by taking the difference between the newly
established control point and the market average wage for the position, and applying it
on top of the established salary range for the position. This market adjustment shall be
reviewed every two years from the time it is implemented (if implemented) as part of the
salary study and may be eliminated or changed based on the results of the survey.
B. The non represented salary schedule for 2012 provides an average market
trend increase as a whole, at the top step (control point). Individual DBM increases may
vary on the wage schedule based on where they fit in the overall regression analysis
that develops the market trend line. This analysis brings the wage schedule in alignment
with external comparables.
C. The City shall continue to conduct in -house market analysis of the non
represented compensation system during odd numbered years, using outside
assistance on regression line analysis calculations as needed. The results of the
analysis will be considered for implementation on January 1 of the following even
numbered year.
D. A COLA increase shall be considered for application each January 1 during
odd numbered years, based on the Seattle- Tacoma Bremerton Consumer Price Index
(CPI -W) Average (first half of 2011 to first half of 2012).
E. The Decision Band method of job evaluation will be used to establish
classifications and the relative internal value and relationship of non represented jobs
within the City of Tukwila.

F. Merit will continue to be eliminated from the plan at this time and may be
reconsidered as a plan element in subsequent years.
G. Step increases from the minimum to the control point for all positions shall be
given annually on the employee's performance review date. There will be no step
increases for employees at or above the control point.
Section 2. Non represented salary schedule, employee benefits summary and
longevity pay plan.
A. The Non Represented Salary Schedule, "Attachment A" hereto, shall be
approved, effective January 1, 2012.
B. The Non Represented Employee Benefits Summary, "Attachment B" hereto,

SECTION I
DEFINITIONS
1.1 Plan Definitions
For purposes of this Plan, the following words and phrases have the meaning set forth below,
unless a different meaning is plainly required by the context:
An "Account Balance" means the bookkeeping account maintained with respect to each
Participant which reflects the value of the deferred Compensation credited to the Participant,
including the Participant's Annual Deferrals, the earnings or loss of the Trust Fund (net of Trust
Fund expenses) allocable to the Participant, any transfers for the Participant's benefit, and any
distribution made to the Participant or the Participant's Beneficiary. If a Participant has more
than one Beneficiary at the time of the Participant's death, then a separate Account Balance shall
be maintained for each Beneficiary. The Account Balance includes any account established
under Section VII for rollover contributions and plan -to -plan transfers made for a Participant, the
account established for a Beneficiary after a Participant's death, and any account or accounts
established for an alternate payee (as defined in Code Section 414(p)(8)).
The "Administrator" means the Employer. The term Administrator includes any person or
persons, committee, or organization appointed by the Employer to administer the Plan.
An "Annual Deferral" means the amount of Compensation deferred in any calendar year.
The "Beneficiary" of a Participant means the person or persons (or, if none, the Participant's
estate) who is entitled under the provisions of the Plan to receive a distribution in the event the
Participant dies before receiving distribution of his or her entire interest under the Plan.
The "Code" means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as now in effect or as hereafter amended
from time to time. Reference to a Code Section includes such section and any comparable
section or sections of any future legislation that amends, supplements, or supersedes such
section.
The "Compensation" of a Participant means all cash compensation for services to the
Employer, including salary, wages, fees, commissions, bonuses, and overtime pay, that is
includible in the Employee's gross income for the calendar year, including, as applicable,
compensation attributable to services as an independent contractor, plus amounts that would be
cash compensation for services to the Employer includible in the Employee's gross income for
the calendar year but for a compensation reduction election under Code Section 125, 132(f),
401(k), 403(b), or 457(b) (including an election to defer compensation under Section II).
Any payments described below made to a Participant after a Severance from Employment shall
qualify as Compensation for purposes of the Plan, but only if the payments are made by the later
of (a) the end of the calendar year in which the Severance from Employment occurred or (b)
within 2 2 months of such Severance from Employment:
2
GN 107589 Specimen 457(b) Plan Document
GPLANLVL CORRSPND Deferred Compensation Plan
Ver 102011
32
(a) Payments that, absent a Severance from Employment, would have been paid to the
Participant while the Participant continued in employment with the Employer, but only if
such payments constitute regular compensation for services during the Participant's
regular working hours, compensation for services outside the Participant's regular
working hours (such as overtime or a shift differential), commissions, bonuses or other
similar compensation;
(i) Payments for accrued bona fide sick, vacation or other leave, but only if the
Participant would have been able to use the leave if employment had continued;
and
Any payment that is not described above shall not be considered Compensation if it is paid after
the date of the Participant's Severance from Employment, even if it is paid within 2 1 /2 months of
such date. Thus, for example, Compensation does not include severance pay.
For years beginning after December 31, 2008, (a) a Participant receiving a differential wage
payment, as defined by Code §34O1(h)(2), by reason of qualified military service (within the
meaning of Code Section 414(u)), is treated as an Employee of the Employer making the
payment and (b) the differential wage payment is treated as Compensation.
An "Employee" means each natural person who is employed by the Employer as a common law
employee on a full time basis or on a part-time basis and any employee in an elected or
appointed position; provided, however, that the term Employee shall not include a leased
employee or any employee who is included in a unit of employees covered by a collective
bargaining agreement that does not specifically provide for participation in the Plan.
Any individual who is not treated by the Employer as a common law employee of the Employer
shall be excluded from Plan participation even if a court or administrative agency determines that
such individual is a common law employee of the Employer, unless the Employer has included
the individual in Plan participation as an independent contractor.
An "Employer" means the eligible employer (within the meaning of Code Section 457(e)(1))
that has adopted the Plan. In the case of an eligible employer that is an agency or instrumentality
of a political subdivision of a State within the meaning of Code Section 457(e)(1)(A), the term
Employer shall include any other agency or instrumentality of the same political subdivision that
has adopted the Plan.
"Includible Compensation" means, with respect to a taxable year, the Participant's
compensation as defined in Code Section 415(c)(3) and the regulations thereunder, for services
performed for the Employer. The amount of Includible Compensation is determined without
regard to any community property laws.
"Normal Retirement Age" means age 70 1 /2, unless the Participant has elected an alternate
Normal Retirement Age and delivered such election to the Administrator. Such date shall be no
earlier than the earliest date that the Participant will become eligible to retire and receive, under
the basic defined benefit pension plan of the Employer (or a money purchase plan in which the
Participant also participates if the Participant is not eligible to participate in a defined benefit

plan) immediate retirement benefits without actuarial or similar reduction because of retirement
before some later specified age, but not greater than age 70 /2). If a Participant continues
employment after attaining age 70'/2, not having previously elected an alternate Normal
Retirement Age, the Participant's alternate Normal Retirement Age shall not be later than the
mandatory retirement age, if any, established by the Employer, or any age at which the
Participant actually has a Severance from Employment if the Employer has no mandatory
retirement age. If the Participant will not become eligible to receive benefits under a basic
defined benefit pension plan (or money purchase pension plan, if applicable) maintained by the
Employer, the Participant's alternate Normal Retirement Age may not be earlier than age 65 and
may not be later than age 70 '/2.
In the event a Participant is a qualified police or firefighter (as defined under Code Section
415(b)(2)(H)(ii)(I)) Normal Retirement Age means age 70 '/2, unless the Participant has elected
an alternate Normal Retirement Age and delivered such election to the Administrator. Such date
shall be no earlier than the earliest date that the Participant will become eligible to retire and
receive, under the basic defined benefit pension plan of the Employer (or a money purchase plan
in which the Participant also participates if the Participant is not eligible to participate in a
defined benefit plan), immediate retirement benefits without actuarial or similar reduction
because of retirement before some later specified age which may not be earlier than age 40 and
may not be later than age 70 /2.
A Participant's Normal Retirement Age must be the same as his or her normal retirement age
under any other eligible deferred compensation plan or plans sponsored by the Employer. The
designation of a Normal Retirement Age under the Plan does not compel retirement with the
Employer.
The "Participant" means an individual who is currently deferring Compensation, or who has
previously deferred Compensation under the Plan by salary reduction and who has not received a
distribution of his or her entire benefit under the Plan. Only individuals who perform services for
the Employer as an Employee may defer Compensation under the Plan.
"Roth Contributions" means the amount of any Annual Deferral elected by a Participant that is
irrevocably designated by the Participant as being made pursuant to, and intended to comply
with, Code Section 402A. Roth Contributions are includable in the Participant's taxable gross
income at the time they are contributed to the Plan and have been irrevocably designated as Roth
Annual Deferrals by the Participant in their deferral agreement. The Administrator shall establish
and maintain for the Employee a separate account for any Roth Contributions made to the Plan,
to which only Roth Contributions and the income attributable thereto shall be allocated. Roth
Contributions also includes any contributions made to another eligible retirement plan that are
rolled over to the Plan in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.1 and that the Participant
designated as Roth contributions at the time they were contributed to such other plan.
"Severance from :Employment" means the date that the Employee dies, retires, or otherwise has
a severance from employment with the Employer, as determined by the Administrator (and
taking into account guidance issued under the Code). Solely for the purpose of determining
whether the Participant is entitled to receive a distribution of his or her Account Balance

pursuant to Section 6.2, a Participant shall be treated as having been severed from employment
during any period the Participant is performing service in the uniformed services (as defined in
chapter 43 of title 38, United States Code) while on active duty for a period of more than 30
days.
The "State" means the State that is the Employer or of which the Employer is a political

SECTION II
PARTICIPATION AND CONTRIBUTIONS
2.1 Eligibility
Each Employee shall be eligible to participate in the Plan and defer Compensation hereunder
immediately upon becoming employed by the Employer.
2.2 Election
An Employee may elect to become a Participant by executing an election to defer a portion of his
or her Compensation (and have that amount contributed as an Annual Deferral on his or her
behalf) and filing it with the Administrator. This participation election shall be made on the
deferral agreement provided by the Administrator under which the Employee agrees to be bound
by all the terms and conditions of the Plan. Any such election shall remain in effect until a new
election is filed. The Administrator may establish a minimum deferral amount, and may change
such minimmns from time to time. The deferral agreement shall also include designation of
investment funds and a designation of Beneficiary. The deferral agreement may also include a
Participant's designation that all or a portion of the Annual Deferral elected by the Participant
shall be treated as Roth Contributions.
2.3 Commencement of Participation
An Employee shall become a Participant as soon as administratively practicable following the
date the Employee files an election pursuant to Section 2.2. Such election shall become effective
no earlier than the calendar month following the month in which the election is made. A new
Employee may defer compensation payable in the calendar month during which the Participant
first becomes an Employee if an agreement providing for the deferral is entered into on or before
the first day on which the Participant performs services for the Employer.
2.4 Amendment of Annual Deferral Election
Subject to other provisions of the Plan, a Participant may at any time revise his or her
participation election, including a change of the amount of his or her Annual Deferrals, his or her
investment direction and his or her designated Beneficiary. The revised participation election
may also include a change in the Participant's designation of the amount of the Annual Deferral
elected by the Participant that is to be treated as Roth Contributions. Unless the election specifies
a later effective date, a change in the amount of the Annual Deferrals shall take effect as of the
first day of the next following month or as soon as administratively practicable if later. A change
in the investment direction shall take effect as of the date provided by the Administrator on a
uniform basis for all Employees. A change in the Beneficiary designation shall take effect when
the election is accepted by the Administrator.

2.5 Information Provided by the Participant
Each Employee enrolling in the Plan should provide to the Administrator at the time of initial
enrollment, and later if there are any changes, any information necessary or advisable for the
Administrator to administer the plan, including, without limitation, whether the Employee is a
participant in any other eligible plan under Code Section 457(b).
2.6 Contributions Made Promptly
Annual Deferrals by the Participant under the Plan shall be transferred to the Trust Fund within a
period that is not longer than is reasonable for the proper administration of the Participant's
Account Balance. For this purpose, Annual Deferrals shall be treated as contributed within a
period that is not longer than is reasonable for the proper administration if the contribution is
made to the Trust Fund within 15 business days following the end of the month in which the
amount would otherwise have been paid to the Participant, or earlier if required by law.
2.7 Employer Contributions
Nothing in this Plan prohibits the Employer from making annual deferrals to the Account
Balance of a Participant on a non elective basis, subject to the Participant's contribution limits in
Section .11I.
2.8 Leave of Absence
Unless an election is otherwise revised, if a Participant is absent from work by leave of absence,
Annual Deferrals under the Plan shall continue to the extent that Compensation continues.
2.9 Disability
A disabled Participant (as determined by the Administrator) may elect Annual Deferrals during
any portion of the period of his or her disability to the extent that he or she has actual
Compensation (not imputed Compensation and not disability benefits) from which to make
contributions to the Plan and has not had a Severance from Employment.
2.1.0 Protection of Persons Who Serve in a Uniformed Service
An Employee whose employment is interrupted by qualified military service under Code Section
41.4(u) or who is on a leave of absence for qualified military service under Code Section 414(u)
may elect to make additional Annual Deferrals upon resumption of employment with the
Employer equal to the maximum Annual Deferrals that the Employee could have elected during
that period if the Employee's employment with the Employer had continued (at the same level of
Compensation) without the interruption or leave, reduced by the Annual Deferrals, if any,
actually made for the Employee during the period of the interruption or leave. This right applies
for five years following the resumption of employment (or, if sooner, for a period equal to three
times the period of the interruption or leave).

A reemployed Employee shall also be entitled to an allocation of any additional Employer
Contributions, if applicable, that such Employee would have received under the Plan had the
Employee continued to be employed as an eligible Employee during the period of qualified
military service. Such restorative Employer Contributions (without interest), if applicable, shall
be remitted by the Employer to the Plan on behalf of the Employee within 90 days after the date
of the Employee's reemployment or, if later, as of the date the contributions are otherwise due for
the year in which the applicable qualified military service was performed.
2.11 Corrective Measures
In the event that an otherwise eligible Employee is erroneously omitted from Plan participation,
or an otherwise ineligible individual is erroneously included in the Plan, the Employer shall take
such corrective measures as may be permitted by applicable law. Such measures may include, in
the case of an erroneously omitted Employee, contributions made by the Employer to the Plan on
behalf of such Employee equal to the missed deferral opportunity, subject to the Participant's
contribution limits in Section III, and, in the case of an erroneously included individual, a
payment by the Employer to such individual of additional compensation in an amount equal to
the amount of the individual's elective deferrals under the Plan.

For purposes of this Section II1, the following rules shall apply:
(a) Participant Covered By More Than One Eligible Plan. If the Participant is or has been a
participant in one or more other eligible plans within the meaning of Code Section
457(b), then this Plan and all such other plans shall be considered as one plan for
purposes of applying the foregoing limitations of this Section III. For this purpose, the
Administrator shall take into account any other such eligible plan maintained by the
Employer and shall also take into account any other such eligible plan for which the
Administrator receives from the Participant sufficient information concerning his or her

(b) Pre Participation Years. In applying Section 3.3, a year shall be taken into account only if
(i) the Participant was eligible to participate in the Plan during all or a portion of the year
and (ii) Compensation deferred, if any, under the Plan during the year was subject to the
Basic Annual Limitation described in Section 3.1 or any other plan ceiling required by
Code Section 457(b).
(c) Pre -2002 Coordination Years. For purposes of Section 3.3(b)(ii)(B), "contributions to
Pre -2002 Coordination Plans" means any employer contribution, salary reduction or
elective contribution under any other eligible Code Section 457(b) plan, or a salary
reduction or elective contribution under any Code Section 401(k) qualified cash or
deferred arrangement, Code Section 402(h)(1)(B) simplified employee pension
(SARSEP), Code Section 403(b) annuity contract, and Code Section 408(p) simple

is
(d) Disregard Excess Deferral. For purposes of Sections 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3, an individual is
treated as not having deferred compensation under a plan for a prior taxable year if
excess deferrals under the plan are distributed, as described in Section 3.5. To the extent
that the combined deferrals for pre -2002 years exceeded the maximum deferral
limitations, the amount is treated as an excess deferral for those prior years.
3.5 Correction of Excess Deferrals
If the Annual Deferral on behalf of a Participant for any calendar year exceeds the limitations
described above, or the Annual Deferral on behalf of a Participant for any calendar year exceeds
the limitations described above when combined with other amounts deferred by the Participant
under another eligible deferred compensation plan under Code Section 457(b) for which the
Participant provides information that is accepted by the Administrator, then the Annual Deferral,
to the extent in excess of the applicable limitation (adjusted for any income or loss in value, if
any, allocable thereto), shall be distributed to the Participant as soon as administratively
practicable after the Administrator determines that the amount is an excess deferral. If a
Participant to whom distribution must be made in accordance with the preceding sentence has
made Roth Contributions for the year, the amount distributed as an excess deferral shall be made
first from pre -tax Annual Deferrals, then from Roth Contributions for the year unless otherwise
specified.

(i) Death On or After Date Distributions Begin.
(A) Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary.
If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is a
"designated Beneficiary", the minimum amount that will be distributed for
each "distribution calendar year" after the year of the Participant's death is
the quotient obtained by dividing the "Participant's account balance" by
the longer of the remaining "life expectancy" of the Participant or the
remaining "life expectancy" of the Participant's "designated Beneficiary
determined as follows:
(1) The Participant's remaining "life expectancy" is calculated using
the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for
each subsequent year.
(2) If the Participant's surviving spouse is the Participant's sole
"designated Beneficiary the remaining "life expectancy" of the
surviving spouse is calculated for each "distribution calendar year"
after the year of the Participant's death using the surviving spouse's
age as of the spouse's birthday in that year. For "distribution
calendar years" after the year of the surviving spouse's death, the
remaining "life expectancy" of the surviving spouse is calculated
using the age of the surviving spouse as of the spouse's birthday in

the calendar year of the spouse's death, reduced by one for each
subsequent calendar year.
(3) If the Participant's surviving spouse is not the Participant's sole
"designated Beneficiary" (i.e., multiple beneficiaries), the
"designated Beneficiaries" remaining "life expectancy" is
calculated using the age of the oldest Beneficiary in the year
following the year of the Participant's death, reduced by one for
each subsequent year.
(4) If the Participant's sole "designated beneficiary" is not the
Participant's spouse, the "designated Beneficiary's" remaining "life
expectancy" is calculated using the age of the Beneficiary in the
year following the year of the Participant's death, reduced by one
for each subsequent year.
(B) No Designated Beneficiary.
If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is
no "designated Beneficiary" as of September 30 of the year after the year
of the Participant's death, the minimum amount that will be distributed for
each "distribution calendar year" after the year of the Participant's death is
the quotient obtained by dividing the "Participant's account balance" by
the Participant's remaining "life expectancy" calculated using the age of
the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent
year.
(ii) Death Before Date Distributions Begin.
(A) Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary.
Except as provided in this Section, if the Participant dies before the date
distributions begin and there is a "designated Beneficiary the minimum
amount that will be distributed for each "distribution calendar year" after
the year of the Participant's death is the quotient obtained by dividing the
"Participant's account balance" by the remaining "life expectancy" of the
Participant's "designated Beneficiary determined as follows:
(1) If the Participant's surviving spouse is the Participant's sole
"designated Beneficiary the remaining "life expectancy" of the
surviving spouse is calculated for each "distribution calendar year"
after the year of the Participant's death using the surviving spouse's
age as of the spouse's birthday in that year.
(2) If the Participant's surviving spouse is not the Participant's sole
"designated Beneficiary" (i.e., multiple beneficiaries), the
"designated Beneficiary's" remaining "life expectancy" is

calculated using the age of the oldest Beneficiary in the year
following the year of the Participant's death, reduced by one for
each subsequent year.
(3) If the Participant's sole "designated beneficiary" is not the

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Haggerton
Finance and Safety Committee
FROM: Jennifer Ferrer -Santa Ines, Senior Fiscal Coordinator
DATE: November 29, 2011
SUBJECT: Revenue Generating Regulatory License (RGRL) Audit
ISSUE
The City implemented the Revenue Generating Regulatory License (RGRL) fee effective with its
2011 business license applications and renewals. An annual audit of the number of employees
and or annual hours worked in Tukwila reported by businesses determines the accuracy of
revenue received through RGRL fees.
BACKGROUND
On July 19, 2010 Council adopted Ordinance No. 2297 which implemented an RGRL fee of
$55.00 per full -time equivalent employee. The RGRL was a fee in addition to any license fee
paid to the City. Every person engaged in business within Tukwila is to pay a Revenue
Generating Regulatory License fee based upon the current number of employees or number of
employee hours worked in the City in the previous year.
The amount of RGRL due can be determined using the standard method of taking the current
number of employees and multiplying that by $55.00. A business can also use an alternative
method of taking all annual hours worked in Tukwila the previous year and multiplying those
hours by the RGRL multiplier of .028646. This multiplier is equivalent to one full -time employee
working 1,920 hours or more.
DISCUSSION
Staff contacted the largest businesses in Tukwila employing greater than 200 employees to
conduct routine fee verification to determine whether or not hours and or employees were being
reported accurately for RGRL purposes. The process used to conduct the verification is as
follows:
1) A list of selected Tukwila businesses with number of employees greater than 200 were
contacted either by telephone, email, or both in order to conduct routine fee verification
as mandated by Ordinance No. 2297.
2) It was explained to each business contacted that the City is conducting a routine
verification of the RGRL business licensing fee calculation method. As a part of this
verification process, the City asked the business entity to submit copies of its prior year
quarterly Labor and Industries (L &I) reports.
71
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
3) For larger business entities with multiple locations throughout Washington State, the
quarterly L &I reports are usually filed on a consolidated basis (i.e., the L &I reports are
inclusive of all the entity's business locations and filed as an aggregate in which
information is not readily available). Should this be the case, the City has been
requesting that the business provide internally generated worksheets or documentation
in support or in lieu of the L &I filing that would only be specific to the City of Tukwila.
4) Total number of worker hours divided by 1,920 hours per year for one full -time employee
(FTE) equivalent results in the total number of RGRL FTEs multiplied by $55.00 per
employee. An employee working 1,920 or more hours per year is counted as one full
time employee for RGRL purposes.
5) Under reporting of employees by an error factor of more than 15% will be billed including
a 20% penalty on the amount due.
From the list of businesses verified, there was one organization that under reported total actual
hours worked in Tukwila. This resulted in over $12,000 in RGRL fees that were not paid at the
time of license renewal. This business has fully paid all outstanding RGRL fees as of
October 24, 2011.

September sales tax collected from construction NAICS codes 236, 237 and 238 totaled $1 -028
(thousand).
Sales tax collections for September were $30K below the same month in the previous year.
The decline is due to an $70K adjustment made by the Department of Revenue reducing the
November remittance. This resulted from a DOR processing error made in June and reflected
in that remittance. Without the adjustment, the September sales tax collections would have
been $40K more than the same month in the prior year. Even with the adjustment, the
September sales tax collections were $142K more than budget representing a 11.98% positive
variance. Year -to -date, collections are 8.05% greater than budget and 8.34 greater than the
prior year year -to -date collections. Excluding one -time money from new construction,
collections are 4.71 ahead of last year's collections to date.
Including mitigation payments, sales tax collections are currently at 119.92% of budget for the
year.
