ISSUE
The City of Tukwila hired Mindi Mattson as the new Emergency Manager. This position was

the Justice Center. Mindi will introduce herself to the Committee, provide an update as to the
current status of emergency management, and describe plans for the future. No action is
required of the Committee.
BACKGROUND
In Tukwila, Emergency Management has been a function of Public Works, Fire and now the
Police Department. Regardless of which department houses it, Emergency Management works
with all departments and the community. It is the duty of the Emergency Manager to integrate
industry standards and best practices to serve the Tukwila community before, during, and after
a large scale emergency or disaster. There is a role for all employees and members of the
community in this work. A community that is strong can before a disaster, can respond to and
recover more successfully.
DISCUSSION
Mindi Mattson, Emergency Manager, will provide an analysis of existing emergency
management capabilities, and share her vision for the future.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The transfer of the position from Fire to Police left some ambiguity as to the budget for
Emergency Management. The Emergency Manager will develop a comprehensive program and
budget to support that program for consideration at a later date.

No action needed from the Committee at this time. This briefing is informational only.
