DATE ATTACHMENTS 3/14/22 Informational Memo dated February 4, 2022 Tukwila Teen & Senior Center Project Predesign Report 2 - Siting Contingent Contribution Letter 3/14/22 Informational Memo dated March 3, 2022 9 10 1 '111'111,11110m City of Tukwila Allan Ekberg, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM TO: City Council FROM: Nate Robinson, Teen Program Specialist Rachel Bianchi, Deputy City Administrator CC: Mayor Ekberg DATE: March 3, 2022 SUBJECT: Teen and Senior Center: Follow Up from the February 14, 2022 Committee of the Whole meeting Below are the questions directed to staff at the February 14, 2022 Committee of the Whole meeting regarding the proposed Teen and Senior Center project, with answers. Staff is happy to answer any further questions. This information will be included in the packet when the item is scheduled to come before the Council in the future. 1. Has this project been evaluated by Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED)? Please bring back a CPTED analysis. • CPTED is a strategy for existing buildings and sites that has to do with landscaping, lighting, lines of site, etc. Since the building has not been designed, a CPTED analysis is not feasible at this time. However, Sergeant Anderson from the Tukwila Police Department did talk with a number of PD staff from the Community Policing Team, Traffic and Patrol regarding their analysis of the security at each site. Please see attached email from Sergeant Anderson (Attachment 1). 2. What is the financial difference between the two sites? • The City purchased the Star Nursery site in 2018 for $885,000. Staff estimates that the fair market value for that property today is approximately between $1.3 and $1.5 million (a formal appraisal would need to be initiated to arrive at the actual fair market value). The acquisition cost per square foot of the property is: $11.95/sq foot. • The Bartell's site, from our best analysis, would cost approximately $2.3 million to purchase. Purchase of the Bartell's site would take six months minimum to negotiate, and could take longer depending on a variety of factors. The acquisition cost per square foot of the property is estimated to be: $58.85/sq foot. • At this point, the decision before the Council is focused on site selection, which is a discrete step in any project and the major first financial decision of many. It is also the only objective choice currently available as there are too many variables on construction costs without the site being selected and schematic design being completed. • Final project budget will be approved by the City Council. It is important to remember that a site drives a project, as the building is designed to the chosen site. Any site will have discrete costs to develop depending on a variety of factors due to its context. 11 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 • Arriving at a concrete and accurate financial development cost difference between two very different sites, without the required in-depth site feasibility studies (which could take months, or up to a full year) is not feasible. There are too many variables associated with site characteristics and unknown conditions, this is why Schematic Design is the critical next step to determine the final program and construction cost. • One important financial factor to remember is project delay will result in additional cost escalation due to the current market, which is at around 7% at this time. 3. What is the ratio of teens versus seniors in your siting outreach? • 1,617 letters (property owners and residents) — unknown • In-person and virtual siting meetings — 75% seniors, 15% teens, 10% other • Champions — 13% seniors, 17% teens, 48% rising seniors, 22% other (some of which represent senior populations, but are not seniors themselves) • Web survey — unknown • Social media audience — unknown 4. Why does the report say that there would be fitness on the roof of Bartell's? • The project team has always contemplated a gymnasium inside of the facility, regardless of the site, as well as activating the park across the street if the Bartell's site is chosen. The Bartell's site allows for the amenity of a rooftop garden or other recreation activities (pages 30 and 36), which could provide an opportunity for the building. 5. Is the Star Nursery Site contaminated; why wasn't the Star Nursery site's slope discussed in the report when the slope at Bartell's was mentioned? • The City has not done environmental investigation on either site. This is part of the next phase of the process after a site is chosen. If major issues are found on the preferred site that could have a significant impact on the project, staff will return to the Council with any findings and proposed next steps. Both the architecture and civil assessments in the report (pages 28 and 43) refer to the slope on the Star Nursery site. 6. Is there a development opportunity with the owner of the Bartell's? • The City has not approached the owner of the property with this request. In discussions with City staff, the property owner did not indicate any future plans for redevelopment of the larger site. 7. When did this proposed project start? • The project was the idea of the City Council and was introduced in October of 2020 as a part of the budget process. Refer to Predesign Report 1, Page 9. The Council committed $600,000 in the 2021/2022 biennial budget for feasibility and community engagement. 8. Why did the City decide to send mailings to only people 1,000 feet away from the sites? • The City used multiple communications channels citywide to advertise the larger in-person, virtual open houses and the online survey to encourage all community members to provide their feedback on the proposed sites. In addition to this, staff 12 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 3 did send mailings (1,617 letters) focused on the residents and property owners 1,000 feet from the two proposed sites because of the potential impacts around those sites if one is chosen. 9. The document identifies the two final sites — could there have been other options? • The project team identified the initial four sites, two of which came off after talking with HealthPoint and the Community Champions. The motels site was excluded because it became clear in staff's discussions with HealthPoint that there is the potential for more services in our community if there are two different developments. The Newporter site was removed because the Community Champions very clearly indicated they did not think it was an appropriate site. Please refer to the February 14, 2022 Committee of the Whole memo for the information on how the sites were chosen and the final two were arrived at. 10. Who picked the Champions? • The Champions were selected through a broad outreach process that started with a collaboration across City departments and then included partners across the City to identify Champions that could represent the broadest amount of community members. It is important to remember that the Champions were only one part of this process, which included more than 70 community meetings, online engagement and a survey. The Project Team includes community engagement experts brought on specifically to design and implement an inclusive engagement process focused on bringing in voices not typically represented in civic efforts. For more information refer to the Community Engagement chapters in Predesign Reports 1 and 2. 11. What is the price tag? • Staff cannot answer this question at this time. Once the Schematic Design (SD) phase is complete (which equates to 30% design), the City will be able to get a good estimate of the project. The current planning window for cost is between $25 and $50 million. 12. Where is the City getting the money? • The financing plan will be a future discussion and will be informed by which site is selected and finishing schematic design. Staff currently contemplates a mix of grant funds, direct state appropriations, philanthropic and corporate support, as well as City funds. 13. What is the reccurring yearly cost? • Staff cannot answer this question at this time. Once schematic design is complete, there will be an analysis of the estimated cost to operate the facility. 14. Why is this different than the Sullivan Center? • The Sullivan Center is a privately owned facility and not controlled by the City of Tukwila. The programming identified by the community for the proposed Teen and Senior Center include a number of activities and programs that could not be served in the small area of the Sullivan Center, such as a gymnasium, classrooms, separate community rooms and more. Please refer to the Pre -Design 1 report presented to the Council on December 13, 2021. 13 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 4 15. What is the size difference between the Sullivan Center and the proposed Teen and Senior Center? • Given the programming needs identified by the community, the proposed Teen and Senior Center would be much larger than the Sullivan Center's meeting room, which is approximately 1,400 square feet. Refer to the Pre -Design Report 1 presented to the Council at the December 13, 2021 meeting, which covers the various programming hubs and representative activities that would take place in each hub. The programming identified by the community for the proposed Teen and Senior Center include a number of activities and programs that could not be served in the small area of the Sullivan Center, such as a gymnasium, classrooms, separate community rooms and more. Please refer to the PreDesign report presented to the Council on December 13, 2021. The programming of the Sullivan Center is managed through an independent (non -City) agent on behalf of the Tukwila Village Community Development Association. 16. What is going into the building? • Please refer to the Pre -Design Report 1 presented to the Council on December 13, 2021 that includes information on the programmatic ideas generated by the community. 17. What in this building is not offered at the Tukwila Community Center? • The proposed Teen and Senior Center building is envisioned to be a place to focus solely on seniors and teens. It would give those two communities dedicated spaces for their various programmatic needs. TCC serves the broader community and is a regional rental facility. Because of this, programming for teens and seniors are sometimes deprioritized for other programs. The proposed new facility would completely prioritize programs and activities for these two communities. • In addition, the direction of the Council was to site this facility in the Tukwila International Boulevard neighborhood specifically to improve access to programs for community members in the area, many of which lack transportation. • Please refer to the Community Assessment found in Predesign Report 2 on pages 27 and Appendix F. 18. Is this a done deal? Can we explore other areas? What are the next steps? • The Council ultimately makes a site selection, so no decisions have been made. Other properties could be reviewed for siting this proposed facility. • After site selection, the Project Team will come to the Council with a proposal for the Schematic Design phase, which is estimated to cost between $1.1 and $1.6 million. • The Council would then determine whether the project moves forward to the Schematic Design phase, which provides 30% design and an initial cost estimate and Council direction to continue. • The next phase is design development, which gets the project to 60% design, an updated cost estimate and includes Council direction. 14 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 5 • Construction Documents is the final phase before the Council gives direction to begin construction and includes an updated estimate. • Community engagement and input will be a part of every phase to inform the Council's decision making. • Please refer to the high-level schedule outlined on page 13 of Pre -Design Report 1. 19. If space is unsafe, what is law enforcement doing to make the place safe? • The Tukwila Police Department is actively working to make the community more safe, including the Tukwila International Boulevard neighborhood. Councilmembers are encouraged to go on a ride along with the Community Policing Team to learn more about the Tukwila Police Department's proactive efforts. 20. Are all sites owned by the City? • No. Of the original four sites, the City owns the Newporter and Star Nursery sites. The City is the process of selling the former motels site to HealthPoint. The Bartell's site is privately owned. Please refer to the February 14, 2022 Committee of the Whole memo that discusses the ownership of each of the prospective sites. Ownership of the sites was also covered in Predesign Report 2 on Page 15. 21. What teen programs at the Teen and Senior Center that can't be done at Foster? • Foster High School is under the direction of the Tukwila School District and the City doesn't control activities or programming at Foster High School. That facility likely cannot host the teen -related programming identified by the community in the Predesign Report 1. 22. What senior programs at the Teen and Senior Center that can't be done at the Sullivan Center? • The Sullivan Center is a privately owned facility and not under the control of the City of Tukwila. The programming identified by the community for the proposed Teen and Senior Center includes a number of activities and programs that could not be served in the small area of the Sullivan Center, such as a gymnasium, classrooms, separate community rooms and more. Please refer to the Pre -Design report presented to the Council on December 13, 2021 agenda. 23. What is the timeframe, including when the City would break ground and when it would open? • The timeframe is dependent on funding. If funding were secured tomorrow, it is likely the center could open within three years. Please refer to the high-level schedule outlined on page 13 of Pre -Design Report 1. 24. The Star Nursery site was purchased with Public Safety Plan bond funds. Can the City repurpose the property for a different use and what would the process be? • Vicky Carlsen, Finance Director, met with Bond Counsel on Friday, February 25. The City's Bond Counsel has indicated that the City can repurpose the property for a different use. There are specific steps that the City must undertake to make this transition, and Bond Counsel will provide step by step directions on how that could be accomplished. 15 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 6 Attachment 1 — Email from Sergeant Anderson Hey Rachel, So good to catch up with you a bit this morning. Below are my pros/cons lists for both locations as we discussed this morning: • Bartell's Pad o Pros • Highly Accessible on foot or by bus • Close proximity to schools and park (Cascade View) • Location already ensures good lighting and visibility from surrounding businesses/patrons o Cons • Located in one of the largest areas in the city for drugs and violent crime historically • Parking issues with neighbors (Bartell's and Walgreens) could surface • Could attract undesirable individuals not frequenting or associated with Teen/Senior center • Star Nursery Lot o Pros • Easily and safely accessible from Foster High School via side walked 42nd Ave S. • Located in relatively quiet residential neighborhood • Easily accessible for pedestrians and close to bus routes • Size of lot should allow for adequate parking o Cons • Louder teen activities may result in noise complaints due to location amongst neighborhood • Not as centrally located as Bartell pad Overall recommendation would be Star Nursery site and it's a bonus that it's land the city already owns. I believe this location would save a lot of headaches in the long run and would still be just as accessible. Hope this helps a bit but I'm sure your notes are better than this quick list! Let me know if you have any other ideas or thoughts. Thanks again Rachel.

BACKGROUND Ordinance 2660 was adopted on October 41h, 2021 which modified TMC Chapter 18.58, "Wireless Communication Facilities" to establish new permitting and aesthetic requirements for wireless communications facilities in response to the enactment of new regulations by the FCC. As a result of this adoption a number of permit types related to wireless facilities are no longer accurate and are in need of replacement. Additionally, it was found that a number of Decision revising to accurately reflect regulations set forth in the TMC. DISCUSSION To ensure consistency with the updates to TMC Chapter 18.58, Staff proposes that the three current Wireless Communication Facilities permit types (Minor — Type 1, Administrative — Type 2, Major or Height Waiver — Type 3) be replaced with the following permit types: Eligible Facilities Modification, Substantial Change, and New Macro -Facility. These permit types would adopt the existing 2022 fees set forth for wireless communications facilities. Landscape Modification to be consistent with the corresponding TMC provisions. An increase to the Zoning Verification Letter fee for more than two contiguous parcels is also being requested to cover the additional staff time required to complete such requests. FINANCIAL IMPACT The proposal will predominately impact the categorization of permit decision types; fees, other than an increase to the Zoning Verification Letter fee, will not deviate from those currently set forth for 2022 as part of Resolution 2012. 19 RECOM MENDATION The Council is being asked to approve the fee resolution and consider this item at the March 14, 2022 Committee of the Whole meeting and subsequent March 21, 2022 Regular Meeting on the consent agenda.

This includes the permits needed to construct or modify buildings, utilities, plumbing, heating/cooling systems, and site work such as filling or grading. BACKGROUND A combination of factors has led to a backlog in development permit processing and longer review cycles over the past two years. 2019 was an outlier year with an approximately 50% increase in permit valuation and revenue. This created a surge in review and inspection work that would track into the following several years as permits were issued and projects were inspected during construction. However, the disruption from the pandemic that started in February 2020 cannot be overstated. The pandemic caused significant financial stress on the whole City organization. With the expected loss of 10% to 15% revenues at one time, approximately $6 to $10 million, the City Council approved the staff recommendations to freeze staffing across several city departments and most collective bargaining units agreed to furloughs rather than layoffs of current staff. In addition, the city continued to move forward and transition to online permit submittal and electronic plan review. From past experience, there is often a decrease in permitting activity during periods of financial uncertainty like the pandemic. However, permit volumes remained at an average level in 2020. This created a backlog of permits as reviewers had the carryover permits from 2019 in addition to the new 2020 submittals. To address the situation three DCD positions were unfrozen in mid -2021 with hiring and onboarding for those and three other vacant positions continuing through the summer and fall. As part of the "One Stop Permitting" effort four positions were transferred from Public Works to DCD in January 2021. Incorporating these new staff members required a reorganization and development of new procedures. We are starting to see the benefits of this change with closer communication and coordination between three of the four permit review groups — planning, building, and development engineering. The processing of fire permits from intake to issuance has moved to DCD while the reviews remain within the Fire Marshal's Office. 29 30 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 6 ue R"r; 1,6 Per m' 7rrend. 2016 - 202.1 307,964 r1 7 x,.,r 4$ 1$$$I8 $t,n 7w 112. The valuation of development permit applications shows a downward trend in 2021 after an average year in 2020. Total development permit revenues for 2021 were $1.8 million, below the target of $2.3 million. DISCUSSION We have been seeing more incomplete or inaccurate applications now that applicants are submitting online without the interaction with permit techs at the counter. This can mean weeks of waiting for applicants to make corrections or submit a complete set of materials before permits can even be routed for review. We do offer online appointments so that a permit tech can walk applicants through the process, answer questions, and help them make sure their materials are complete, but many applicants do not use this service. As of February 28, 2022 there were 40 incomplete permits and 17 incomplete land use projects. Once the permit techs make sure that the applicant has applied for the correct permit and that the materials we need have been included they send an email notifying the applicant that the review fees are due. Sometimes applicants delay payment, perhaps not understanding that review will not start until the fees have been paid. As of February 28, 2022 there were 69 permits waiting for payment and 20 land use projects. Historically the target time to the first comment letter on a permit has been 4 to 6 weeks. Currently the target is 8 weeks. Overall, the permit processing backlog has been reduced significantly from where it was 6 months ago.

This had a major impact to the workflow as the Fire Marshal had to step in and perform both plan review and Fire Marshal duties. In December 2021, that same Fire Marshal transitioned out of the office and back onto shift work. A new Fire Marshal started in January 2022. A back log of over 130 fire reviews were identified. To help mitigate the problem, the new Fire Marshal began performing plan review (as well as FM duties) along with 2 outside plan review consultants. As noted in the previous chart, the backlog is now down to 41. This is a temporary solution and has taken a considerable amount of time and effort set in place. A new full-time in- house fire plan reviewer is still needed. Human Resources is working with the Fire Chief to fill the position of a new fire plan reviewer. The market for this highly trained and experienced resource is difficult. We are adjusting the job posting to enhance the application pool. The Fire Department is also investigating other options to increase the workflow volume of the fire review and post review processes. Planning Review Discussion The two associate planners that we hired last fall are adapting quickly and taking on more complex permits as they become fully trained on the City's varying review processes. They have also provided fresh insight and provided staff with an opportunity to identify efficiency improvements, including but not limited to the following: • Daily permit review by the assigned Planner of the day, who reviews and reassigns permits to applicable staff each morning. This equates to a daily permit triage process in comparison to the twice a week process that existed before the pandemic. • Staff has implemented procedures to ensure older permits remain at the top of the review queue and are not over -shadowed by more recent permits. • A field inspection process is being implemented that will ensure inspection requests are made only when Planning staff are available to provide a thorough review. This will significantly reduce the chance of inspections needing to be rescheduled in the future. • For permits such as signs that require less technical inspections applicants may self -inspect and submit photos of the work. This saves City staff significant travel and field time and allows for more flexibility on the applicant's end. Building Review Discussion The building division has had difficulty recruiting and retaining qualified individuals over the last four years. In the past we offered hiring bonuses of up to $15,000 to attract competent applicants for Senior Plans Examiner and Combination Building Inspector positions. We were able to hire a plans examiner and once we became fully staffed in September 2020, the building division was able to catchup on our substantial backlog. Engineering Review Discussion We have had turnover of the two longtime development review engineers over the past year. Cherie Du was hired in December 2020 to replace Dave McPherson. Joanna Spencer recently https://tukwilawa.sharepoint.com/sites/mayorsoffice/cc/Council Agenda Items/DCD/Permitting Briefing/Permitting InfoMemo 3-14-22.docx 31 32 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 4 retired but the Council approved hiring her replacement Kerry Murdock last summer to allow for a training and transition period. Engineering staff have worked diligently to process a significant backlog of permits that emerged during the pandemic, many of which were due in part to very large projects that required significant coordination with other departments.

The Washington State Constitution requires all taxes on real estate to be uniform within a taxing district. The State Constitution exempts all property owned by the United States, counties, school districts, and other municipal corporations. The Legislature has also exempted business inventories, household goods and personal effects, churches and their grounds, hospitals, private schools and colleges, and tribal lands used for essential government services. Current state law authorizes property tax relief on the principal residences of senior citizens and persons retired by reason of disability if they meet certain income requirements. What this means is that property owners that qualify under this program, are exempt from most voter approved levies. Property Tax within the City of Tukwila There are several taxing entities within the borders of the City of Tukwila. Those include the following: - State school fund - Local school district - King County - Port - Library - EMS - Flood district - Regional Sound Transit - Tukwila Pool Metropolitan Park District Boundaries for taxing jurisdictions do not align neatly and they often overlap other taxing jurisdictions. For example, there are several school districts within the City of Tukwila boundaries. If a property is located in the central part of the City, a property owner would 35 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 pay property taxes to the Tukwila School District, but a property located in the north end of the city could pay property taxes to the Seattle School District. For a property located within the Tukwila School District, the tax levy rate is broken down as follows: IS CRO Sl fax year 2022 Levy..

The total levy rate for 2022 is $12.08991, the senior/disabled rate is $5.81727, and of the total levy rate of $12.08991, 56.42% is voter approved. The City's portion of the total levy rate is $2.72071, or 22.5% of the total tax levy. The levy rate for the City increased by $0.04338, or 1.62%. State and local school levies total $7.03459, which is 58.2% of the total tax levy. Additionally, the senior/disabled rate decreased from $6.27786 in 2021 down to $5.81727 in 2022. The increase or decrease in a specific property owner's tax bill is not only determined by the total levy rate for the year, but also by the change in assessed value for the individual parcel. If all parcels within a jurisdiction's boundary all increase by the same percentage, 36 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 3 then all property owners realize the same increase in their property tax bill. However, not all parcels within the same taxing boundary increase by the same percentage. Those property owners that show a larger increase in assessed value than others would realize a larger increase in total property bill than those that experienced a smaller increase in assessed value. For comparison purposes, the next set of graphs show the total tax levy rate, but for a parcel located in the north end of the City but in a different school district. The total levy rate for 2022 is lower at $9.65955 than 2021, which was $10.03661. Voter approved levy is 45.45% and total schools (state and local) is $4.60423, which is $2.43036 lower than parcels located in the Tukwila School District.
