City of Tukwila
Allan Ekberg, Mayor
INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Finance Committee
FROM: Jay Wittwer, Fire Chief
Rick Still, Parks and Recreation Director
Vicky Carlsen, Finance Director
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: November 3, 2020
SUBJECT: Update Fire and Park Impact Fees
ISSUE
Adjust fire impact fees per Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) 16.26.080 Annual Fire Impact Fees
Updates and park impact fees per TMC 16.28.080 Annual Park Impact Fees Updates.
BACKGROUND
Fire and park impact fees were enacted by the City in 2008 and were updated in 2018. To ensure
growth continues to pay for growth, the fee methodology, the level of service and the supporting
statistics and data have been reviewed and fees updated accordingly.
Berk, in coordination with the staff Impact Fee Team, undertook an extensive study of the City’s
historical, existing, and projected growth in population, housing, and employment; examined
capital plans and facilities, the PROS Plan and Fire Master Plan, the level of service standards
and other pertinent information. The data was analyzed, summarized, and computed to produce
an impact fee for each property type listed below:
Residential
1. Single Family
2. Multi Family
Non-Residential/Commercial
1. Retail
2. Office
3. Industrial
As specified in the TMC, both park and fire impact fees are to be updated annually using the
Construction Cost Index for Seattle (June-June) published by the Engineering News Record to
calculate the annual inflation adjustments. The adjustment would be effective January 1 of each
year.
DISCUSSION
Fire and park impact fees were not updated as they should have been in 2019 for 2020 so the
proposed increase includes the 2020 increase as well as the 2021 increase. The increase would
be effective January 1, 2021. Per Engineering News Record, the percentage increase is as
follows:

Committee of the whole and subsequent December 7, 2020 Regular Meeting.

Exhibit A
City Cost Index - Seattle - As of September
2020
The building and construction cost indexes for ENR's individual cities use the same components
and weighting as those for the 20-city national indexes. The city indexes use local prices for
portland cement and 2 X 4 lumber and the national average price for structural steel. The city's
BCI uses local union wages, plus fringes, for carpenters, bricklayers and iron workers. The city's
CCI uses the same union wages for laborers.

figures are always published in the second weekly issue of the month.
