INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Community Development
FROM: Brandon Miles, Business Relations Manager
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: March 25, 2021
SUBJECT: Lodging Tax Funding Requests
ISSUE
Review of a lodging tax funding request from the City of Tukwila, Office of Economic
Development for Experience Tukwila ($100,000) and for a 2021 Juneteenth event ($5,000).
BACKGROUND
The City collects a 1% lodging tax on certain qualifying overnight stays in paid accommodations
(hotels/motels/Airbnb) in the City. State law limits the use of these funds to tourism promotion'.
There is currently just over $1 million in lodging tax funds available for use.
The City's Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC) reviews all requests for use of lodging tax
funds. LTAC then forwards a list of recommended applications to the City Council for its review
and consideration. If LTAC does not recommend an application be funded, that application is
not forwarded to the City Council. The City Council may approve or deny any of the applications
recommended by the LTAC. The City Council may also approve an application and increase or
decrease the dollar amount awarded2.
The City accepts applications on a rolling basis, with the LTAC reviewing requests monthly.
Pending Applications
Following its March 12, 2021 meeting, LTAC recommended approval of two lodging tax
requests from the City of Tukwila Office of Economic Development for Experience Tukwila and
to assist in a 2021 Juneteenth event.
1 RCW 67.28.080 (6) defines "tourism promotion" as "...activities, operations, and expenditures designed to
increase tourism, including but not limited to advertising, publicizing, or otherwise distributing information for the
purpose of attracting and welcoming tourists; developing strategies to expand tourism; operating tourism
promotion agencies; and funding the marketing of or the operation of special events and festivals designed to
attract tourists."
2 On August 17, 2016, the Washington State Attorney General's Office issued an informal opinion regarding
whether a municipality could change the dollar amounts recommended by the local lodging tax advisory
committee. Specifically, the informal opinion states:
"When awarding lodging tax revenues pursuant to RCW 67.28.1816(2)(b)(ii), a municipality may award amounts
different from the local lodging tax advisory committee's recommended amounts, but only after satisfying the
procedural requirements of RCW 67.28.1817(2), according to which the municipality must submit its proposed
change to the advisory committee for review and comment at least forty-five days before final action on the
proposal."

INFORMATIONAL MEMO

1. Experience Tukwila, $100,000
In 2020 the City of Tukwila launched the Experience Tukwila digital initiative. The initiative
includes a dedicated website ExperienceTukwlia.com and social media. The goal is to promote
the City of Tukwila to consumers primarily within 50 miles of the City, including hotel guests who
are already in the area. The City is seeking funding to continue contractor services to run the
day-to-day operations of Experience Tukwila and to expand content development with an
additional photoshoot and video development.
The need for a dedicated website and social media channels to promote the City was first
identified as part of our brand development process in 2017. The social media accounts were
valuable during the pandemic as it allowed the City to promote restaurants and retailers that
were operating. In addition, the website and social media channels allows to do partnerships
and engagement the City has not been able to do the in past. For example, the City is
sponsoring the 2021 Seattle Restaurant Week and the City is provided a link directly on the
event's website to ExperienceTukwila.com. The City is also partnering with the Seattle
Seawolves on a campaign promoting the team as part of the upcoming season. The Seawolves
tag the Experience Tukwila social media accounts as part of the campaign.
For 2021 the goal of Experience Tukwila is to increase website visits and expand social media
engagement by telling authentic stories, through photos, of the Tukwila community.
LTAC Recommendation on Application: Do Fund
Staff Recommendation on Application: Do Fund
2. Juneteenth Planning ($5,000)
The City of Tukwila is requesting lodging tax funds to help support the creation of a virtual event
to celebrate Juneteenth. Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the
ending of slavery in the United States. A coalition of Tukwila community members, non -profits,
and the City have started to plan a virtual event for 2021. The event is virtual this year due to
COVID-19. In 2022 the goal is transition this to an in-person event in the City.
Unlike surrounding communities, Tukwila does not have a signature event. As one of the most
diverse cities in the country a future Juneteenth event could serve as this signature event.
Tukwila's diversity also serves as a strength for this event and allows for the creation of a truly
authentic Tukwila event. Lodging tax funds will be used to help with operational and marketing
costs.
Doing the virtual event for 2021 allows us to gain content and a following prior to the launch of
an in-person event in 2022.

Notes
This document does not bind the City to provide funds nor does it authorize any funding. All use of lodging tax funds must be approved by LTAC and the City Council through an application process.
The shaded cells indicate approved applications.
The lodging tax revenues are estimated as of May 7, 2020 and reflect staffs prediction based on COVID-19.
TPA revenue estimate assumes 29% of the fees collected within the three city Tourism Promotion Area were collected by Tukwila hotels. TPA revenue for 2020 and 2021 is based on the SSRTA's revised, adopted budget. After 2021 revenues are staff estimates.
Salary/Benefits for Business Relations Manager is split 50/50 between general fund and lodging tax and is estimated to increase 3% annually after 2022.
The City overhead charge is charged to all special funds. It recoups the cost to the general fund to support the lodging tax fund. It includes facilities, technology, legal, accounting, and record keeping services and is estimated to increase 3% annually after 2022.
Because 100% (less 1% Department of Revenue Fee) of all TPA revenue is estimated to be passed through to the SSRTA, the Ending Fund Balance is only lodging tax funds.
CARES Act Funds provided as reimbursement for staff time associated with emergency response.
For 2020, preliminary actuals are provided, but are not yet confirmed.

Name of Applicant:
City of Tukwila
Address:
6200 Southcenter Blvd.

About the Applicant:

always been a community at the "crossroads." Tukwila lies at one of the busiest freeway interchanges
in Washington State. The City has a small bedtime population of just under 20,000. During the day
the City's population swells to over 150,000 people, with people coming to the City to work, shop,
dine, stay in hotels, and to visit once in a life time experiences, such as the Museum of Flight or iFly.
The City is one of the most diverse cities in the country. Over 70 languages are spoken in the Tukwila
School District. Many well-known businesses are based in Tukwila, such as BECU, Westfield
Southcenter, Seattle Seawolves, Seattle Sounders FC, Top Pot Donuts, Pop Gourmet, and the Sabey
Corporation. The City has over 2,000 hotel rooms and over 100 restaurants.
Funds Previously Awarded:
In 2020, Experience Tukwila received $88,375 in lodging tax funds to launch and operate Experience
Tukwila.
Funding Request Narrative:
In 2020 the City of Tukwila launched the Experience Tukwila digital initiative. The initiative includes a
dedicated website ExperienceTukwlia.com and social media. The goal is to promote the City of
Tukwila to consumers primarily within 50 miles of the City, including hotel guests who are already in

the area. The City is seeking funding to continue contractor services to run the day-to-day operations
of Experience Tukwila and to expand content development.
Staff Comments:
Experience Tukwila is starting to gain steam and initiative in promoting the City. As of February 2021
Experience Tukwila had the following key metrics:
Total Followers: 1,763

Profile Views (not including Facebook): 7,739
Engagements: 6,720
Keep in mind that the social media accounts launched in the spring of 2020 and the website launched
in January of 2021. Experience Tukwila campaigns such as the Great Tukwila Carryout to help
restaurants during COVID-19, Saving Local, and the name the sushi roll at Trapper's Sushi.
Experience Tukwila allows the City to promote the Tukwila community within the Greater Seattle
area and to help the City control its on brand. It has also served as resource to businesses looking to
promote grand opening and upcoming events.
Consistency with Six Year Financial Model:
Experience Tukwila Request: $100,000
Funds Provided in Six Year Financial Plan For Ex. Tukwila: $75,000
Remaining Funds: $(25,000)
In the "Tourism Six Year Financial Plan" we identified $75,000 for 2021 costs for Experience Tukwila.
This cost was primarily related to ongoing upkeep, website management, and social media posts. The
added funds for 2021 include doing another photo shoot and creating some small videos. Since
Experience Tukwila launched, we are working to build out our digital content for use across the
website and social media. A new photo shoot is needed because in 2020 we were operating under
COVID-19 restrictions and were not able to fully capture activities and events that capture Tukwila.

For 2020 the goal was to get Experience Tukwila up and function. For 2021 the goal is to expand
the total number of followers, likes, engagements, and impressions for Experience Tukwila. For
2021 a limited amount of paid social media will be utilized; digital ads; paid google search; search
and engine optimization.
In addition to the items outlined above, we want to build out our video and photography imagery.
A photo shoot was completed in 2020, but this was limited due to COVID-19. A video originally
budgeted for 2020 was also not completed. For 2021 we want to complete a new photoshoot and
do some short videos to promote the City.
Finally, we want to start engaging Tukwila youth in creating content we can use for Experience
Tukwila. This will help to create authentic content to promote the City.
8) Describe how you will promote lodging establishments, restaurants, retailers, and
entertainment establishments in the City of Tukwila.
Experience Tukwila promotes the City's various lodging, restaurants, retailers, and entertainment
establishments. ExperienceTukwila.com features pages for each specific category mentioned
above. In addition, social media posts rotate through regularly promoting Tukwila businesses.
9) Is the City able to use your digital and print media for collaborative marketing?
Yes.
10) Describe how you will use the name, "Tukwila" in publications, promotions, and for your
event?

12) What methodologies did you use to calculate the estimates and what methodologies will you
use to track outcomes, such as total participants, estimated visitor spending, etc?
The impressions outlined above are a forecasted amount for the reminder of 2021. The
forecast as built on the limited historical data we currently have for 2020 for
Experience Tukwila.
It is important to remember that Experience Tukwila is a pure marketing and branding
effort. Tracking actual hotel stays and visitor spending through such efforts can be
difficult and at best can only show a correlation and not causation.
For the overall success of Experience Tukwila, we intend on tracking the following
metrics.

The City contracts with a firm to manage the day-to-day postings and updates for
ExperienceTukwila.com. Posts are made on social media almost daily and the website is updated
weekly with new content as it becomes available. Contracting with a firm to manage Experience
Tukwila is cheaper and provides the City more flexibility than to do it in house, which would require the
hiring of additional staff.
In the "Tourism Six Year Financial Plan" we identified $75,000 for 2021 costs for Experience Tukwila.
This cost was primarily related to ongoing upkeep, website management, and social media posts. The
added funds for 2021 include doing another photos shoot and creating some small videos. Since
Experience Tukwila launched, we are working to build out our digital content for use across the
website and social media. A new photo shoot is needed because in 2020 we were operating under
COVID-19 restrictions and were not able to fully capture activities and events that capture Tukwila.
16) What will you cut from your proposal or do differently if full funding for your request is not
available or recommended?
We would likely reduce the scope of the photo shoot and eliminate the short videos.
Applications are considered on a rolling basis. Please contact staff to discuss the process for having the
application reviewed by the City's Lodging Tax Advisory Committee.
Completed applications should be submitted to:

About the Applicant:
The City of Tukwila is a non -charter City organized under the laws of the State of Washington.
Founded in 1908, Tukwila is one of the oldest cities in King County. Since its founding, Tukwila has
always been a community at the "crossroads." Tukwila lies at one of the busiest freeway interchanges
in Washington State. The City has a small bedtime population of just under 20,000. During the day
the City's population swells to over 150,000 people, with people coming to the City to work, shop,
dine, stay in hotels, and to visit once in a life time experiences, such as the Museum of Flight or iFly.
The City is one of the most diverse cities in the country. Over 70 languages are spoken in the Tukwila
School District. Many well-known businesses are based in Tukwila, such as BECU, Westfield
Southcenter, Seattle Seawolves, Seattle Sounders FC, Top Pot Donuts, Pop Gourmet, and the Sabey
Corporation. The City has over 2,000 hotel rooms and over 100 restaurants
Funds Previously Awarded:
None for this event. The City has previously been provided funds for a variety of activities.
Funding Request Narrative:
The City of Tukwila is requesting lodging tax funds to help support the creation of a virtual event to
celebrate Juneteenth. Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending
of slavery in the United States. A coalition of Tukwila community members, non -profits, and the City
have started to plan a virtual event for 2021. The event is virtual this year due to COVID-19. In 2022
the goal is transition this to an in-person event in the City.

Unlike surrounding communities, Tukwila does not have a signature event. As one of the most
diverse cities in the country a future Juneteenth event could serve as this signature event. Tukwila's
diversity also serves as a strength for this event and allows for the creation of a truly authentic
Tukwila event.
Doing the virtual event for 2021 allows us to gain content and a following prior to the launch of an in-
person event in 2022.

create events that highlight the City's diversity. This event helps achieve that goal.
Consistency with Six Year Financial Model:
For 2021, the Six Year Financial Plan shows the City spending $150,000 for sponsorship, such as this.
There will be sufficient funds remaining in the budget for other 2021 sponsorships.

1) Describe your tourism -related activity or event.
The City of Tukwila is requesting lodging tax funds to help support the creation of a virtual
event to celebrate Juneteenth. Juneteenth is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration
of the ending of slavery in the United States. A coalition of Tukwila community members, non-
profits, and the City have started to plan a virtual event for 2021. The event is virtual this year
due to COVID-19. In 2022 the goal is transition this to an in person event in the City.
Unlike surrounding communities, Tukwila does not have a signature event. As one of the most
diverse cities in the country a future Juneteenth event could serve as this signature event.
Tukwila's diversity also serves as a strength for this event and allows for the creation of a truly
authentic Tukwila event. In addition, Bill Baker, who the City hired for brand development,
suggested the creation of events that highlighted Tukwila's diversity.

3) Describe why visitors will travel to Tukwila to attend your event/activity/facility.
Tukwila's central location, its transportation connections, and mass transit makes Tukwila a great

the largest mall in the Pacific NW, Starfire Sports, and the Museum of Flight. The City has success is
bringing people to the City. The goal is to get people to come more often, stay longer, and realize
they are in Tukwila (versus other cities).
This specific event will be virtual so viewers will likely be spread out across the country.
4) Describe the geographic target of the visitors you hope to attract (locally, regionally,
nationally, and/or internationally).
Primary within 50 miles of the City; however, hotel guests throughout the region are part of the
target audience. This specific event will be virtual so viewers will likely be spread out across the
country.

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Community Development
FROM: Brandon Miles, Business Relations Manager
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: March 25, 2021
SUBJECT: Agreement with True Blue Strategies for Experience Tukwila
ISSUE
Authorize the Mayor to sign an agreement with True Blue Strategies for the management and
operation for the Experience Tukwila Digital Initiative.
BACKGROUND
In 2020, the City launched the Experience Tukwila Digital Initiative to aggressively promote the
Tukwila community within the Seattle region. Experience Tukwila includes dedicated social media
accounts and a website with original content highlighting restaurants, retailers, events, and the
overall Tukwila community. The social media was very helpful in promoting Tukwila businesses
during the Stay Home, Stay Heathy orders associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. These
dedicated social media channels and website have allowed us to do sponsorships and partnership
we were unable to do in the past, including being a partner for Seattle Restaurant Week and doing a
campaign with the Seattle Seawolves.
For 2021 Experience Tukwila will focus on growing its reach and followers on social media, with a
focus on working to bring visitors back to the City following the pandemic. New original content will
be created to highlight the community and businesses, including post COVID-19 photoshoot and the
creation of short videos promoting the City.
The overall goal of Experience Tukwila is to bring more visitors to the City, encourage them to stay
longer, and to improve the City's brand within the region.
DISCUSSION
The City has been working with True Blue Strategies (formally Mammoth) for almost a year. True
Blue is a woman owned company based out of Seattle and is responsible for the day-to-day
management of the Experience Tukwila Initiative. The City selected True Blue in 2020 after
interviewing several firms. True Blue was selected due to its small size and overall background in
working in both public policy and marketing.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total agreement will not exceed $125,000. A lodging tax application is pending in the amount of
$100,000 to fund this agreement. Additional expenditure authorization is being requested in case
other funds (grants or additional lodging tax funds) become available during the contract term.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Committee forward the agreement to the April 19, 2021 consent agenda for
final action by the City Council.

Coronavirus Response Update
April 19, 2021
* Denotes All New Content in the Section
Essential Services and City Operations
With the recent Governor's order, staff is being extra vigilant to ensure that worksites are being inhabited under the
mandated 25% capacity and that City facilities are being utilized only be staff who must report to work in order to
complete their jobs.
Financial Stability
The Finance Director provided the most recent COVID Financial Update to the Council on Monday, March 8, 2021.
Police Staffing and Calls for Service
There have been no changes to Police staffing since the last report.
Fire Staffing and Calls for Service
As of April 1, 2021 the Fire Department has gone to minimum staffing of 13.
* Human Services
Human Services staff assisted two households (2 individuals) for a combined total of total of $3179 in rental assistance.
One household with $779 from general fund non-profit partners and $2400 from COVID Rent/Utility (COVID R/A) funds.
We have several families in various stages of the intake process.
In the past week, staff spoke with 22 households in need of rental assistance. The range of back -owed rent was $1100-
$5,880.
$500-$1,200 = 3
$1,250-$3,500 =7
$3,600-$4,000 = 8
Over $4,000 = 4
Human Services staff continues to encourage all eligible residents to apply for the KC EPRAP (Eviction Prevention Rental
Assistance Program) especially residents who have back owing rent over $2400 and who are likely to need additional
support in upcoming months (not yet working full time ).
* Business Recovery
Business Re -Openings and Closings
On March 22, the entire State entered Phase 3 of the Healthy Washington: Roadmap to Recovery. Under this plan,
counties will be individually evaluated every three weeks with evaluations occurring on a Monday and changes taking
effect the following Friday. If a county fails one or more of the evaluation metrics, it will move down one phase. The
first evaluation occurred on April 12 and three counties in the State were required to roll back to Phase 2 effective April
16. Fortunately, King County remained in Phase 3. The next evaluation will occur on May 3.
For large counties, such as King County, to remain in Phase 3, we will need to keep a 14 -day average of new COVID cases
below 200 per 100,000 residents and a seven-day average of new hospitalizations below 5 per 100,000 residents. Based
1
45
on the State Department of Health's Roadmap to Recovery report dated 4/12/21, King County's metrics are below those
thresholds. However, it is important to note that around mid-March new cases and hospitalizations in King County rose
and have hovered close to the thresholds during early April. If our numbers rise more, it is possible that the County will
roll back to Phase 2 on May7tn

Notes:
1) Unshaded cells indicate we are meeting the goal to stay in Phase 3
2) Shaded cells indicate we are NOT meeting the goal to stay in Phase 3
3) King County data is from https://www.doh.wa.gov/Portals/1/Documents/1600/coronavirus/data-tables/421-006-RoadmapToRecovery-
20210412.pdf
Phase 3 allows a significant increase in activity compared to Phase 2. In Phase 3 generally all the indoor and outdoor
activities allowed in Phase 2 that were capped at 25% occupancy are allowed up to 50% occupancy to a maximum of 400
people. Examples of these activities are dining, retail, professional services, personal services, worship services, card
rooms, museums, gyms and fitness, and movie theaters. Other types of indoor entertainment are also allowed with
restrictions, such as: karaoke and recreational singing, darts, billiards, arcade games, trampoline facilities, indoor
playgrounds, and training classes.
Another significant change in Phase 3 compared to Phase 2 is that in-person spectators at events with permanent
seating will be allowed. This includes professional and high school sports, motorsports, rodeos, and other outdoor
spectator events. Spectators will be capped at 25% of permanent seating up to 9,000 people.
In all cases restrictions such as distancing, masking, hygiene, and spectator guidelines will still be required.
Business Assistance
The State approved a $2.4 billion of federal funding for COVID assistance which includes $240 million for small business
assistance grants. The grants will be administered by the State's Department of Commerce. Their application portal
opened on March 29 with applications due by April 9. On March 29 and April 2 we notified our businesses about the
grant opportunity. The State Department of Commerce has implemented a very efficient grant portal and process for
this round. Based on a very preliminary review, approximate 165 small businesses in Tukwila applied. The demographics
of the majority ownership of the businesses was self -identified as approximately 26% African American/Black, 37% Asian
American, 5% Hispanic, 2% LGBTQ+, 34% Woman, and 1% Veteran. Note, ownership of a particular business may include
multiple categories and not all applications may be qualified. The State hopes to complete the review and approve the
grants soon.
The federal government's new $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act includes very significant funding to support
business including $28.6 billion for a Restaurant Revitalization Fund, an additional $15 billion for Economic Injury
Disaster Loans (EIDL), an additional $10 billion for State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI), and an additional $7.5
billion for the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). Those programs will be administered by the U.S. Small Business
Administration. On March 30 the government extended the PPP application period through May.
Unemployment
2
46
The unemployment claims data report will be included monthly. The report through February was included with the
coronavirus report for the Council meeting on March 22.
On March 11, 2021 the President signed the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act. The new law extends Pandemic
Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC), which is for workers who have exhausted all other benefits, plus the
Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA), which benefits people who do not qualify for regular unemployment such
as self-employed people and independent contractor, for an additional 29 weeks. It also extends the Federal Pandemic
Unemployment Compensation (FPUC) which provides an extra $300 per week for eligible claimants who are receiving
benefits from any unemployment program through September 6, 2021.
Information on employment resources for community members that have been affected by job loss or reduced hours
due to COVID is posted on the City's website and has been shared with social service partners. Staff will distribute it
through our social media accounts over the next few weeks.
* The City is one of the sponsors for the 2021 Education and Workforce Summit that will be held on April 28th and will
include a panel discussion on career paths and a job fair. The Summit is hosted by the Seattle Southside Chamber of
Commerce and WorkSource.

March 22, 2201
Council President Kruller asked why
telecom companies are sometimes given
permission to run through overhead
powerlines rather than undergrounding.
How can ordinances be waived without
talking to Council? Referenced 53rd Ave S
and TIB projects.
TMC 11.28.140, "Request for
Waiver," gives the Public Works
Director the ability to waive the
undergrounding requirement in
certain circumstances of undue
hardship.
