INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Haggerton
City Council
FROM: B/C Don Tomaso, Fire Marshal
DATE: February 29, 2012
SUBJECT: Fire and Parks Impact Fee Ordinance updates.
ISSUE
After last week's Committee of the Whole meeting, some additional and minor changes were
made to provide greater clarity to the "Refunds" and "Exemptions" sections of both ordinances.
Due to staff illnesses and absences, these amendments were approved by the City Attorney this
week based on RCW 82.020.070 and RCW 43.21 C.060. The Council President approved the
changes in the agenda review process, and Councilmember Quinn, Chair of the Finance and
Safety Committee, was also provided information regarding the changes.
ANALYSIS
The changes are fairly minor and are shown in strike through, underlined format (see pages 6
and 8 of each ordinance). One extends the time for expenditure of funds from 6 to 10 years and
adds language regarding legislative authorization to extend it even further if necessary. Another
change involves exemption language. It is the City Attorney's opinion that these are required
revisions due to changes implemented by the State Legislature to the above referenced RCW's.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the City Attorney's opinion and Staff recommendations, these changes also need to
be included in the Fire and Parks Impact Fee Ordinance approval process before the Council
this evening.

16.26.010 Authority and Purpose.
A. Authority. The City of Tukwila's impact fee financing program has been
developed pursuant to the City of Tukwila's policy powers, the Growth Management Act as
codified in Chapter 36.70A of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW).
B. Purpose. The purpose of the financing plan is to:
1. Develop a program consistent with Tukwila's Fire Department Capital
Facilities Plan and the Capital Improvement Program for joint public and private financing
of fire protection services necessitated in whole or in part by development within the City of
Tukwila;
2. Ensure adequate levels of public fire protection and service are consistent
with the current level of service standards;
3. Create a mechanism to charge and collect fees to ensure that development
bears its proportionate share of the capital costs of public fire protection facilities
necessitated by development; and
4. Ensure fair collection and administration of such fire impact fees.
16.26.020 Findings. The City Council finds and determines that growth and
development in the City create additional demand and need for public fire protection
facilities in the City, and the City Council finds that growth and development should pay
its proportionate share of the costs of the facilities needed to serve the growth and
development in the City. Therefore, pursuant to RCW 36.70A and RCW 82.02.050
through 82.02.100, which authorize the City to impose and collect impact fees to fund
public facilities that serve growth, the City Council adopts this ordinance to impose fire
protection impact fees for fire protection services. It is the Council's intent that the
provisions of this ordinance be liberally construed in establishing the fire impact fee
program.
16.26.030 Definitions. Terms or words not defined herein shall be defined pursuant to
RCW 82.02.090 when given their usual and customary meaning. For the purposes of
this ordinance, unless the context or subject matter clearly requires otherwise, the
words or phrases defined in this section shall have the following meanings:
1. "Building permit" means an official document or certification of the City of
Tukwila issued by the City's building official which authorizes the construction,

4. "Development approval" means any written authorization from the City,
which authorizes the commencement of the "development activity."
5. "Encumber" means to reserve, set aside, or earmark the fire impact fees in
order to pay for commitments, contractual obligations, or other liabilities incurred for the
provision of fire protective services.
6. "Fee payer" is a person, corporation, partnership, an incorporated
association or governmental agency, municipality, or similar entity commencing a land
development activity that requires a building permit and creates a demand for additional
fire capital facilities.
7. "Impact fee" means the payment of money imposed by the City on
development activity pursuant to this ordinance as a condition of granting development
approval in order to pay for the fire facilities needed to serve growth and development
that is a proportionate share of the cost of fire capital facilities used for facilities that
reasonably benefit development. Impact fees do not include reasonable permit fees,
application fees, administrative fees for collecting and handling fire impact fees, or the
cost of reviewing independent fee calculations.
8. "Owner" means the owner of record of real property, as found in the
records of King County, Washington, or a person with an unrestricted written option to
purchase property; provided, that if the real property is being purchased under a
recorded real estate contract, the purchaser shall be considered the owner of the
property.

improvements that are reasonably related to the service demands and needs of
development.

This credit is calculated by deducting the fee amount of the existing use from the fee of
the proposed use.

consider unusual circumstances in specific cases to ensure that impact fees are imposed
fairly.

of the fee. The developer shall submit an independent fee calculation study to the Fire

16.28.010 Authority and Purpose.
A. Authority. The City of Tukwila's impact fee financing program has been
developed pursuant to the City of Tukwila's policy powers, the Growth Management Act
as codified in Chapter 36.70A of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW).
B. Purpose. The purpose of the financing plan is to:
1. Develop a program consistent with Tukwila's Parks and Recreation
Department Capital Facilities Plan for joint public and private financing of public parks
facilities and services necessitated in whole or in part by development within the City of
Tukwila;
2. Create a mechanism to charge and collect fees to ensure that
development bears its proportionate share of the capital costs of public parks facilities
necessitated by development; and
3. Ensure fair collection and administration of such parks impact fees.
16.28.020 Findings. The City Council finds and determines that growth and
development in the City create additional demand and need for public parks facilities in
the City, and the City Council finds that growth and development should pay its
proportionate share of the costs of the facilities needed to serve the growth and
development in the City. Therefore, pursuant to RCW 36.70A and RCW 82.02.050
through 82.02.100, which authorize the City to impose and collect impact fees to fund
public facilities that serve growth, the City Council adopts this ordinance to impose
parks impact fees for parks services. It is the Council's intent that the provisions of this
ordinance be liberally construed in establishing the parks impact fee program.
16.28.030 Definitions. Terms or words not defined herein shall be defined pursuant to
RCW 82.02.090 when given their usual and customary meaning. For the purposes of
this ordinance, unless the context or subject matter clearly requires otherwise, the
words or phrases defined in this section shall have the following meanings:
1. "Building permit" means an official document or certification of the City of
Tukwila issued by the City's building official which authorizes the construction,
alteration, enlargement, conversion, reconstruction, remodeling, rehabilitation, erection,
placement, demolition, moving, or repair of a building or structure.
2. "City" means the City of Tukwila, Washington, County of King.
3. "Development activity" means any construction, reconstruction, or
expansion of a building, structure, or use, or any changes in use of a building or
structure, or any changes in the use of land, requiring development approval.

DT &SK:bjs Page 2 of 9
22
4. "Development approval" means any written authorization from the City,
which authorizes the commencement of the "development activity."
5. "Encumber" means to reserve, set aside, or earmark the parks impact
fees in order to pay for commitments, contractual obligations, or other liabilities incurred
for the provision of parks services.
6. "Fee payer" is a person, corporation, partnership, an incorporated
association or governmental agency, municipality, or similar entity commencing a land
development activity that requires a building permit and creates a demand for additional
parks capital facilities.
7. "Impact fee" means the payment of money imposed by the City on
development activity pursuant to this ordinance as a condition of granting development
approval in order to pay for the parks facilities needed to serve growth and development
that is a proportionate share of the cost of parks capital facilities used for facilities that
reasonably benefit development. Impact fees do not include reasonable permit fees,
application fees, administrative fees for collecting and handling parks impact fees, or
the cost of reviewing independent fee calculations.
8. "Owner" means the owner of record of real property, as found in the
records of King County, Washington, or a person with an unrestricted written option to
purchase property; provided, that if the real property is being purchased under a
recorded real estate contract, the purchaser shall be considered the owner of the
property.
9. "Proportionate share" means that portion of the cost for parks facility
improvements that are reasonably related to the service demands and needs of
development.
10. "Parks facilities" means those capital facilities identified as park and
recreational facilities in the City's Capital Facilities Plan.
16.28.040 Parks Impact Fee Assessment.

approvals from the City for any development activity in the City for which building
permits are required, effective January 1, 2009, consistent with the provisions of this
ordinance.
B. Parks impact fees shall be assessed at the time of a technically complete
building permit application that complies with the City's zoning ordinances and building
and development codes. Parks impact fees shall be collected from the fee payer at the

16.28.050 Use of Parks Impact Fees.
A. Pursuant to this ordinance, parks impact fees shall be used for parks facilities

incurred by the City to the extent that growth and development will be served by the
previously constructed improvement.
F. In the event bonds or similar debt instruments are or have been issued for
parks facility improvements, impact fees may be used to pay the principal on such
bonds.
16.28.060 Parks Impact Fee Capital Facilities Plan. In order to collect parks impact
fees, the City must first adopt a parks capital facilities plan as an element of the City's
Comprehensive Plan. The City's capital facilities plan for parks services shall consist of
the following elements:

City's parks facilities both existing and under construction;
2. The forecast of future needs for parks facilities based upon the City's
population projections,
3. A six -year financial plan component, updated as necessary, to maintain at
least a six -year forecast for financing needed within projected funding levels;
4. Application of the formula set forth in this ordinance based upon the
information in the capital facilities plan; and
5. City Council Action. No new or revised impact fee shall be effective until
adopted by the City Council following a duly advertised public hearing to consider the
City's capital facilities plan or plan update.

payment of a fee that is based on the type of land use and square footage of the
development, and proportionate to the cost of the parks facility improvements
necessary to serve the needs of growth.

This credit is calculated by deducting the fee amount of the existing use from the fee of
the proposed use.
16.28.080 Parks Impact Fee Adjustments.

to consider unusual circumstances in specific cases to ensure that impact fees are
imposed fairly.
B. In calculating the fee imposed on a particular development, the City shall
permit consideration of studies and data submitted by a developer in order to adjust the
amount of the fee. The developer shall submit an independent fee calculation study to
the Director of Parks and Recreation, who shall review the study to determine that the
study:
1. Is based on accepted impact fee assessment practices and
methodologies;
2. Uses acceptable data sources and the data used is comparable with the
uses and intensities planned for the proposed development activity;

16.28.090 Credits. In computing the fee applicable to a given development, credit
shall be given for the fair market value measured at the time of dedication, for any
dedication of land for improvements to, or new construction of, any parks facilities that

CITY ADMINISTRATOR REPORT
TO: Mayor Haggerton
Councilmembers
FROM: David Cline, City Administrator
DATE: February 29, 2012
SUBJECT: Report for March 5, 2012 Regular Council Meeting
The City Administrator Report is meant to provide the Council, staff and community an update
on the activities of the City and on issues that concern the City. This memo is divided into key
sections. Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional information about
any of the following items, and please feel free to contact any of the department heads for
additional information.
INTERGOVERNMENTAL AND LOCAL ISSUES UPDATE
South Correctional Entity (SCORE) Administrative Meeting February 22
The Mayor and City Administrator attended this regular Administrative meeting to receive an
update on the operations of the new South County Jail Facility that started full operations
this past fall. There was a marketing discussion afterward to discuss how best to increase
additional usage by other organizations.
Federal Legislative Update February 22
The Mayor, several Councilmembers and City staff, met with our Federal Lobbyists to
discuss our past and current Federal Initiatives. At this time, the City is planning on sending
a delegation to Washington, DC, in May to meet with our federal delegation. The City is
currently seeking additional financial support for the extension of Strander Boulevard and for
Boeing Access Road bridge improvements. In addition, there was a follow -up discussion
regarding the BNSF railroad and its impacts on the community.
Valley Cities Luncheon February 24
City Administrator Cline attended this monthly meeting of nine Valley cities on behalf of
Mayor Haggerton. The members heard a presentation on efforts to reduce gang violence
and improve communities through a coordinated effort led by Justice Bobbe Bridge. The
Center for Children and Youth Justice, as well as the non profit Alive and Free are working
through school districts, cities, and other organizations to coordinate activities and funding.
Global to Local Update
The cities of Tukwila and SeaTac have been participating in an innovative Public /Private
Partnership since 2009 with Swedish Hospital, Health Point, King County Public Health and
Washington Global Health focusing on decreasing health disparities in Tukwila and SeaTac.
On February 9 and 11, this partnership hosted a citizen engagement process called
"Community Cafe" at Tukwila Community Center that invited 62 participants to share
perspectives and ideas on community issues. Staff from Parks and Recreation, Planning
and Economic Development also attended the Cafe.

Tukwila and SeaTac Staff, Evie Boykan and Colleen Brandt Schluter were also recognized
for their work in supporting these efforts in their communities.
On February 29, a Global to Local Health Seminar was conducted at Swedish Hospital to
introduce the Global to Local project to PATH (a global health organization) and community
partners. Additional information can be found at http: /globaltolocal.org
DEPARTMENT UPDATES
PARKS RECREATION and METROPOLITAN PARK DISTRICT
Citizen Comment follow -up from February 6 Council Meeting
In response to a citizen's inquiry at the February 6 Council meeting, Parks and Recreation
staff members reviewed their procedures for asking participants about residence status.
Staff confirmed that on the senior trip in question, staff was conducting a survey for future
program and trip offerings. It was important for staff to determine if residents were the ones
offering the suggested programs. The staff members recognize the importance put on
resident involvement in our Recreation Programs and, therefore, regularly ask everyone
who comes through the doors if they "live in Tukwila." It is always the intent of the staff
members to be welcoming to all participants.
Duwamish Hill Preserve
The contract was executed for appraisal of the property. We are providing "in- kind" services
to support a grant that Forterra (formally known as CLC) can utilize for educational programs
and volunteer project coordination.
Tukwila Pool
Data logging equipment has been removed and energy consumption analysis is being
performed. The preliminary Energy Services Plan is planned to be on the April 9 MPD Board
Meeting. The boiler needed repairs three times this last two weeks, the chemical controller
went out of commission, and the pool heater pump overheated and did not work this past
weekend. We were able to make minor and less expensive repairs anticipating that they will
be replaced at the end of the year.
2011 Community Special Events Recap
An analysis of the Community Special Events was presented to the Community Affairs and
Parks Committee. This report was put together to indicate how City Council direction was
implemented through the special events. The major change for this last year was turning
Tukwila Days into three separate mini events. The City achieved higher attendance at these
three events and reduced the budget compared to the one day event of Tukwila Days.
FIRE DEPARTMENT
Training Video
On February 20, staff from Engine 51 spent the afternoon with Action Training filming
extrication procedures on hybrid vehicles. The footage will be part of an overall extrication
training series due to be released sometime in May. Action Training has worked with our
department many times over the years to produce training videos for the fire service.

Successful CPR Response
Engines 51, 52, and 53 with Medic 4 responded to an unconscious, unresponsive adult with
telephone -CPR occurring at dispatch. The crew of Engine 52 was successful in shocking the
patient one time using the department's defibrillation machine followed by extensive medical
intervention by Medic 4. The Crews extricated the patient from the apartment successfully
for transport to Valley Hospital with a pulse and blood pressure. A quality job was
completed by all personal involved in this successful resuscitation.
POLICE DEPARTMENT
Soliciting in Certain Areas Prohibited Ordinance (SCAPO)
A summary of this new ordinance was provided to the Finance Safety Committee.
Tukwila officers were trained, and businesses were notified of the new ordinance that went
into effect on December 13. The Police Department developed a brochure conveying details
of the law and resources to assist the needy and mentally ill. First time violators contacted
by the police are presented the brochure and educated on the new law and issued a
warning. As of February 15, after 3 months of enforcement and education on the new law,
police officers issued 45 warning citations. One repeat violator was arrested during this time
period.
Residential Burglaries Community Block Watch Meeting and Update
Community Block Watch meeting The police department, in cooperation with the
Community Block Watch program, hosted a community meeting on February 23 to
discuss the recent increase in residential burglaries. More than 100 people, as well as
six Councilmembers, participated in this event.
On the evening of February 27, patrol officers responded to a dispute, and during their
investigation recovered approximately 50 items of evidence related to car prowling,
burglary, identity theft, and narcotics. One person was arrested. The following morning
an astute patrol officer went back to the location and located a vehicle that had been
associated with prior Tukwila burglaries. Upon further investigation, he located stolen
laptops, drugs, credit cards, identifications, burglar tools, and drug paraphernalia. This
helped identify several suspects possibly responsible for the string of burglaries in
Tukwila and throughout the region.
DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Housekeeping Code Amendments
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed housekeeping code
amendments and finalized their recommendations to the City Council. This item will be
scheduled for Council review in March. The list of proposed amendments range from minor
housekeeping or clarifications to policy decisions about the review process and
development standards.
Westfield Mall Presentation
Antony Ritch, a Regional Senior Vice President for Westfield, made a special presentation
at the Planning Commission's request. He discussed the success of the Mall expansion
which has won a gold award from a shopping center industry group. He also expressed
Westfield's interest in continuing to work with staff on the redraft of the Southcenter Plan.

finalists the week of March 5. A recommendation for a final consultant and contract will be
brought to the Community and Parks Committee in the near future.
Tukwila Village Update
The developer team continues to make revisions and improvements to the site plan. Derek
Speck, Economic Development Manager has been working closely with other City staff
members and the developer to create a revised site plan for public viewing by the end of
March. The City is on schedule to bring the proposed development agreement to Council in
April.
