INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Community Services and Safey Committee
CC: Mayor Ekberg
FROM: Niesha Fort -Brooks, Community Engagement Manger
DATE: March 28, 2022
SUBJECT: The City of Tukwila Community Leadership initiative Program (TCLI)
(formerly Community Connector Program)
ISSUE
Staff is seeking input from the Community Services and Saftey Committee on the City of Tukwila's
Community Leadership Initiative (TCLI) prior to finalization.
BACKGROUND
In 2014 the Community Connectors program was established in collaboration with Forterra and Global
to Local. The purpose of the Community Connectors was to improve outreach and engagement with
communities historically underrepresented in the civic process. The City partnered with community
members, particularly with Tukwila's immigrant and refugee communities, to act as liaisons and
facilitate communication between the City and their respective communities. The Community
Connectors first pilot program was the City's comprehensive plan update, with a focus on housing, the
Tukwila International Boulevard (TIB) neighborhood, and access to healthy food.
Over the course of time the Community Connectors Program was becoming ineffective and
transactional. The needs of the Community Connectors were not being met, they were survey -
burdened, it created disposable leaders, and the Community Connectors were being tokenized due to
their race. Additionally, as part of the budget reductions associated with the coronavirus pandemic,
the funding for the program was eliminated in 2021.
DISCUSSION
City Staff is currently finalizing details with the TCLI committee before the program launches in late
summer. Additionally, City staff presented to the Equity and Social Justice Commission on March 3,
2022. The Commission was tasked to provide input on the City of Tukwila's Leadership Initaitive
program. The Commission appreciated that the program is community -led with the intent to provide
program participants in advocacy, City services, and awareness of boards and commissions.
Following is a summary of the program's purpose, mission statement, committee members, and TCLI
program specifics.
TCLI PURPOSE
To elevate, develop and support Tukwila community leaders. The program will incorporate a shared
holistic approach that will consist of discussions of real-world lived experiences among Tukwila's
diverse community members. The program will provide the necessary tools to understand City
services, policies and programs with an emphasis on professional and personal advocacy.

TCLI MISSION STATEMENT
The City of Tukwila Community Leadership Initiative (TCLI) program is a community -led program
supported by the City of Tukwila to increase and build upon existing and future leaders in civic
engagement, City services, policies and programs. We lead with an equity lens and embrace inclusivity
for the betterment of Tukwila's diverse community.
TCLI COMMITTEE
City staff has taken this opportunity to revamp the previous Community Connectors program. In April
2021, staff recruited a diverse group of community members to develop a new community program,
including its identification as the City of Tukwila Community Leadership Initiative (TCLI). Staff reached
out to various residents and community leaders who work or live in Tukwila's diverse community —
those with a deep understanding of community needs and lived experiences and who lead with a racial
equity lens. Members of the TCLI committee are:
Diane Melgoza, former Community Connector and Community Health Worker from Global to Local
Hien Kieu, Executive Director - Partner In Employment
Angel Taherazer, Day 1 Coordinator/Career Coach One Program Coordinator - Refugee Women's
Alliance
Lina Sinton -Ali, Connection Desk Supervisor, Tukwila Health Point
Margaret Bratcher, former Community Connector, Planning Commissioner and resident
Khang Nguyen, former City of Tukwila Summer High School Internship Program and resident
TCLI PROGRAM SPECIFICS
The TCLI has determined that a civic academy process — which takes the cohort through various levels,
functions and entry points of local government — is the best way to transform the participants in the
program. The goal is to increase knowledge about how government works, what opportunities are
available in City services for individuals to get involved, and how to advocate for their respective
Tukwila communities.
The program will allow 8-10 cohort participants. They must live, attend school or work in the City of
Tukwila, and are excected to attend at least one informational session. They are required to sign the
City of Tukwila's gift card documentation. To receive the gift card compensation, participants must
attend the full session and complete a five -question survey after each session. The survey process will
allow the TCLI committee and City staff to measure the success and direction of the program.
TCLI PROGRAM BUDGET
The current budget for the program and allocated costs are as follows:
PROGRAM EXPENSES
ANNUAL BUDGET: $25,000
TCLI Cohort Compensation
$100.00 per session
Translation, interpretation, and print material (as needed)

DATE: April 4th, 2022
SUBJECT: School Speed Zone Camera Update
ISSUE
Update regarding School Zone Cameras.
BACKGROUND
Two Speed Zone Cameras were installed in the School Zone in the 4440 block of S.144th Street
covering both directions within the school zone. The cameras were operational In September
2021. There was a one-month grace period between in September when warnings were given,
and in October Infractions began to be issued.
Data regarding violations was collected by the vendor (Novoa Global) and forward to the Police
Department. Officers from the Tukwila Police Department Traffic Unit reviewed the infractions
and forwarded them to the court. Processing by the Court included deferrals, dismissals, and
issuing of court proceedings for violations of the school zone speed limit.
DISCUSSION
The Speed Zone Cameras are only operational during the time prior to the opening of the
schools and at the end of the school day. Yellow flashing lights and an informational reader
board indicating speed are also active during the time that the system in operational.
The images captured by the camera are only of the license plate, and the speed.
Below are the number of Warnings and Infractions that were issued between October, 2021 and
the end of February 2022

FINANCIAL IMPACT
Revenue
Gross revenue from the cameras through the end of February is $206,349.40 in paid fines and
another $184,675.60 fines that are due. Not counting the unpaid fees, the estimated annual
revenue is approximately $371,428.00 (Based on nine months of active cameras)
Cost for PD Processing
Annual Cost for PD processing, per City Council approval of 1.0 FTE, 2022 estimated salary
and benefits of $143,435.00. Currently the approved position has not been filled and the work is
able to be absorbed with current staffing. If the program were to be expanded, the position
would need to be filled to maintain the workload.
Cost for processing for Courts
Cost for Court processing, per City Council approval of 2.25 FTEs, from mid-December 2021 to
February 2022 salary and benefits is $41,857.00. 2022 estimated salary and benefits
$200,913.00.
Fees from Novoa Global
Pricing for the Novoa Global School Speed Zone Camera System is as follows $2,999.25 per
camera system, per month. Currently we have two camera systems, for a monthly total of
$5,998.50 per month, and an annual expense of $71,982.00
Program sustainability
Total estimated Annual expenditure for the program as it currently exists = $272,895.00. This
leaves an estimated positive revenue from the program in the amount of $98,533.
RECOMMENDATION
As the data provided above shows, the School Zone Speed Cameras have been successful in
reducing speed in school zones near Foster High School and Showalter Middle School. As
expected, numbers of warnings/infractions were reduced from 1441 to 288 from the inception of
the program until the most recent numbers at the end of February 2022. Both the Police
Department and Court recommend continuation of the program.
Additional consideration
With the success of reduced speeds by the program, the PD and Courts would like to open
discussions about the potential of adding another pair of cameras in the School Zone on 42nd
Ave S.

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Community Services and Safety Committee
FROM: Eric Dreyer, Chief of Police
BY: Eric Lund, Deputy Chief of Police
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: March 21, 2022
SUBJECT: Flock Safety ALPR
ISSUE
Nationwide, cities are experiencing a disturbing rise in homicides and violence. The FBI's 2020
Crime Report shows a 30% increase in homicides from 2019 to 2020, the largest single -year
increase ever recorded. Staffing shortages statewide have contributed to the reduced ability to
investigate these crimes. In King County, the number of shots fired incidents in 2021 was up
54% and the number of overall shooting victims was up 70% over the four-year average for
2017-2020. Non-fatal shootings are up 82% over the four-year average'. In Tukwila, burglaries
increased 24% in 2020 from 2019. Auto Theft increased 15% in 2021 compared to 2020, which
are totals we haven't seen since 2006. Automatic License Plate Readers (ALPR's) can help
address these issues.
BACKGROUND
According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, when employed ethically and
objectively, ALPRs are an effective tool for law enforcement, cutting down on the time required
for investigations and acting as a force multiplier. Communities with ALPR systems report crime
reductions of up to 70 percent. In some areas, that included a 60 percent reduction in in non-
residential burglaries, 80 percent reduction in residential burglary, and a 40 percent reduction in
robberies.
ALPR does not include facial recognition capabilities and does not capture personally
identifiable information (PII). ALPR cameras capture wholly -objective images of vehicles and
license plates, providing a clear and actionable investigative lead.
Currently, Tukwila PD is experiencing a staffing shortage. 7 positions have been frozen due to
COVID. In addition, we also have four vacant budgeted Officer positions. Regionally, many
officers have left Washington state. The staffing shortages have also impacted our major crimes
unit, where many cases are not investigated at all due to not having any leads.
ALPR technology multiplies the force. It captures and distributes objective evidence to the right
user.

DISCUSSION
The Tukwila Police Department will be entering into an agreement with Flock Safety which
manufactures Automated License Plate Readers (ALPR) in order to demonstrate their product
for sixty days.
Flock cameras are solar powered and communicate through cellular technology. They can
either be mounted on existing city owned infrastructure, or on poles provided by Flock. Flock
handles installation, maintenance, and repair of the cameras. This will not create extra work for
the Public Works Division.
Flock personnel have worked together with the Public Works and the Police Department,
including the crime analyst to determine the best locations for 26 cameras within the city. The
deployment plan is still in draft stages.
ALPR simply takes photographs of vehicles driving by cameras. The cameras capture make,
model, and license plate number. Even vehicles that do not have license plates can be
identified. Witnesses who have a vague description of a vehicle, or a partial license plate is not
extremely useful to help us find leads to investigate. It is not connected to registration data or
3rd party databases (Carfax, etc). ALPRs are not used for traffic enforcement and the data is not
stored beyond 30 days.
Cameras send real-time alerts to officers when stolen or wanted vehicles enter Tukwila. They
also provide objective evidence after a crime has been committed. Several detectives in our
Major Crimes Unit have stated that this system would have been extremely helpful in identifying
witnesses or suspects in recent murder and shooting investigations.
Transparency to the community is important for the police department. Flock includes a
"Transparency Portal" that allows the department to audit searches. All searches must include a
case number when looking for evidence, and a crime has already been committed. The PD will
be engaged with the community and distribute information that these cameras are being
installed and to answer any questions the community might have.
The Police Department and Flock will initially enter into an agreement for a 60 -day trial period at
zero cost. Near the end of 60 -day trial period, the PD will update this committee with statistics,
success stories, and the effectiveness of the system. Flock representatives are also available
for a Q&A session at future meeting if this committee is interested.
All agencies that utilize Flock nationwide have access to each other's data. Several other south
King County police agencies are very interested in this product as well to help reduce the
increase in violent crime. Tukwila would have access to their information, allowing for a regional
approach.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no cost for the 60 -day demonstration. However, upon proof of concept with the
demonstration period, the Tukwila Police Department will be returning to committee to ask the
Council to approve licensing for the remainder of the year, which the police department will
absorb in the current PD budget. As we enter the new budget -cycle, the PD would be
requesting through the budget process to add the service as a standing expenditure within the
budget. The cost per camera is $2,500 per camera per year. With the 26 -camera deployment
https://tukwilawa.sharepoint.com/sites/mayorsoffice/cc/Council Agenda Items/Police/Flock info memo.docx
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 3
plan that is still being solidified, the total cost for year 1 will be $75,000. The recurring cost for
the following years will be $68,500/year.
RECOMMENDATION
At this time, this is for information only. The PD will ask council to approve the contract after the
trial period is complete, upon proof of concept.

2021 Year End King County
Firearm Violence Report
King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office -
Crime Strategies Unit
paocsu@kingcounty.gov January 2022
Total Shootings and Shots Fired Incidents
The numbers of firearm homicide victims, non-fatal shooting victims, and total shots fired incidents for 2021
are listed below. This data primarily comes from the 8 jurisdictions in King County (below) that have historically
had over 90% of firearm violence, but also includes data from many of the smaller jurisdictions in King County.
This does not include suicides, confirmed self-inflicted shootings, or officer involved shootings.
Firearm Homicide

Geographic Distribution
Shootings in King County are not evenly distributed by
jurisdiction. We currently collect data from over 20
agencies, but a majority of the data comes from 8 agencies:
Seattle, Auburn, Des Moines, Federal. Way, Kent, Renton,
Tukwila, and the King County Sheriff's Office (including
unincorporated King County and 16 contract cities).These
8 agencies account for roughly 79% of King County's
population. In 2021, over 62% of the total shots fired
incidents and 59% of the shooting victims (both firearm
homicide victims and non-fatal shooting victims) were
from agencies outside of Seattle. Both of these are slightly
higher than the four-year average for 2017-2020 in which
60% of all shots fired incidents and 58% of all shooting
victims were from agencies outside of Seattle.

Automated License Plate Readers
437.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) technology, also known as License Plate Recognition,
provides automated detection of license plates. ALPR is used by the Tukwila Police Department
to convert data associated with vehicle license plates for official law enforcement purposes,
including identifying stolen or wanted vehicles, stolen license plates and missing persons. ALPRs
may also be used to gather information related to active warrants, homeland security, electronic
surveillance, suspect interdiction and stolen property recovery.
437.2 ADMINISTRATION OF ALPR DATA
All installation and maintenance of ALPR equipment, as well as ALPR data retention and access,
shall be managed by the Professional Standards Unit Division Commander. The Professional
Standards Unit Division Commander will assign personnel under his/her command to administer
the day-to-day operation of the ALPR equipment and data.
437.3 ALPR OPERATION
Use of an ALPR is restricted to the purposes outlined below. Department personnel shall not use,
or allow others to use, the equipment or database records for any unauthorized purpose.
(a) An ALPR shall only be used for official and legitimate law enforcement business.
(b) An ALPR may be used in conjunction with any patrol operation or official department
investigation. Reasonable suspicion or probable cause is not required before using
an ALPR.
(c) While an ALPR may be used to canvass license plates around any crime scene,
particular consideration should be given to using ALPR-equipped cars to canvass
areas around homicides, shootings and other major incidents. Partial license plates
reported during major crimes should be entered into the ALPR system in an attempt
to identify suspect vehicles.
(d) No member of this department shall operate ALPR equipment, or access ALPR data,
without first completing department -approved training.
(e) If practicable, the officer should verify an ALPR response through the Central
Computerized Enforcement Service System (ACCESS) before taking enforcement
action that is based solely upon an ALPR alert.
(f)
No ALPR operator may retrieve ACCESS data unless otherwise authorized to do so.
437.4 ALPR DATA COLLECTION AND RETENTION
All data and images gathered by an ALPR are for the official use of the Tukwila Police Department,
and because such data may contain confidential ACCESS information, it is not open to public

review. ALPR information gathered and retained by this department may be used and shared with
prosecutors or others only as permitted by law.
The Professional Standards Unit Division Commander is responsible to ensure proper collection
and retention of ALPR data and for transferring ALPR data stored in department vehicles to the
department server on a regular basis, not to exceed 30 days between transfers.
All ALPR data downloaded to the server shall be stored according to the Washington State Law
Enforcement Records Retention Schedule and thereafter may be purged unless it has become,
or it is reasonable to believe it will become, evidence in a criminal or civil action, or is subject to a
lawful action to produce records. In such circumstances the applicable data should be downloaded
from the server onto portable media and booked into evidence.
437.5 ACCOUNTABILITY AND SAFEGUARDS
All saved data will be closely safeguarded and protected by both procedural and technological
means. The Tukwila Police Department will observe the following safeguards regarding access
to and use of stored data:
(a) All non -law enforcement requests for access to stored ALPR data shall be referred to
the Senior Manager and processed in accordance with applicable law.
(b) All ALPR data downloaded to the mobile workstation and server shall be accessible
only through a login/password-protected system capable of documenting all access
of information by name, date and time.
(c) Persons approved to access ALPR data under these guidelines are permitted to
access the data for legitimate law enforcement purposes only, such as when the data
relate to a specific criminal investigation or department -related civil or administrative
action.
(d) Such ALPR data may be released to other authorized and verified law enforcement
officials and agencies at any time for legitimate law enforcement purposes.
(e) ALPR system audits should be conducted on a regular basis.
