2023-2024 Proposed Budget — Council Question Follow-up & Parking Lot
Continued from 10/26/22
33.
10/26/22
Kruller I Could the business license fee be increased in lieu of adding a
B&O tax?
FIN
Yes, but to achieve the same revenue amount it would require doubling
the fee for all businesses that have a Tukwila business license. The
proposed B&O tax would apply to less than 675 businesses (out of 2,500
that currently hold business licenses in the City of Tukwila plus outside
contractors) and would only apply to businesses grossing more than
$750,000, with specific industries exempted per the Mayor's proposal. If
the threshold was lowered to $500,000 the number of businesses
affected would be 790 and if it was $1,000,000 then the number of
businesses affected would be 583.
34.
10/26/22
Kruller
Provide assessment of expected property sale revenue — is there
a windfall to be found?
ED
No. The funds associated with the sale of George Long are appropriated
in the Mayor's proposed budget to pay for debt service on the Public
Safety Plan and the beginning of Phase II of the consolidated Public
Works facility. The proposed buyer has identified contamination on the
site (not unexpected given its past uses). The City Council approved the
sale of other properties in the City to fund the Public Safety Plan and
those properties have yet to be sold thus, there is no windfall from
property sales. Further, the Mayor's proposed budget already includes
the use of one-time funds at a higher rate than normal. This is because
it is a bridge budget to fire annexation. The City should be cautious of
using any additional one-time funds to balance the budget as ongoing
revenues should pay for ongoing expenses, which is Council policy. This
is why the Mayor has proposed a modest B&O tax that will remain
ongoing to fund ongoing expenses.
35.
10/26/22
Quinn
Parking lot: speed camera revenue
CNCL
Resolution 2029 states that revenues in excess of the cost of the
program be directed to school zone infrastructure projects and driver
education campaigns. It also states that the distribution between these
two things be evaluated following the first year of implementation. The
current revenue from the cameras is funding the implementation of the
program; there are no additional funds available.

10/26/22
Delostrinos Johnson
Is DCD's proposed fee schedule factored into this budget?
Parking lot: Interested in Cultural Use Tax as a revenue source to
support local nonprofits
DCD
Yes. The proposed fees recently before the Council — including
maintaining the low-cost residential permit — are factored into the
Mayor's proposed budget. If the Council does not pass the proposed
fee increases the budget will have to be adjusted accordingly.
Additionally, increases in some fire related fees are factored into the
budget. Legislation for those increases is moving through the
Committee process.
37.
10/26/22
Delostrinos Johnson
CNCL
Any city, town, or county may impose a sales tax up to 0.1% and up to 7
years to benefit or expand access to nonprofit cultural organizations.
This requires majority voter approval. King County tried to pass the tax
but it was rejected in 2017. A city or town can also pass an equivalent
property tax — also requiring voter approval — but cannot utilize both the
sales and property tax options. Funds must be used in very specific ways
focused on cultural and educational opportunities only, with school
cultural programming being the first priority.
38.
10/26/22
Sharp
Provide clarity/justification on proposed new positions
AS
There are only two new proposed positions in the Mayor's budget —
both in utilities and fully funded by utilities. The half time temporary
labor position in the Clerk's Office, which was removed (cut), not frozen,
during the pandemic, is also restored in this budget, in part due to the
public records implications of contracting for fire services. In the
General Fund the Mayor's proposed budget includes nine frozen
positions, meaning there will be less staff available to serve the
community in the coming biennium than in previous years.
39.
10/26/22
Multiple
Provide more information about cost cutting measures
undertaken by departments in the context of this proposed
budget
Multiple
The Mayor's proposed budget maintains many of the reductions
departments took in 2020 due to the pandemic, such as reductions in
supplies and services. In addition, in this budget, nine non -Police
positions are frozen, saving approximately $1 million annually. Over the
years as the City has addressed loss of revenue due to streamlined sales
tax, revenues not keeping up with expenses, loss of sales tax mitigation
payments and other structural revenue vs expenses issues, the City has
continued to make service reductions every biennium, even while the
budget grows due to contractual obligations.
40.
10/26/22
Quinn
Provide review of public feedback, and how it is prioritized in
this budget.
AS
Across all of the different engagement vehicles, below are the top
priorities provided to staff during the outreach efforts, as well as how
they are addressed in the Mayor's proposed budget. The majority of
people both in person and online preferred to maintain and increase
Updated 11/2/22
01
services rather than reduce them, many of whom indicated support for
a B&O tax. A complete overview was presented to the Council on
September 26 and attached again here for reference.
• Teen, Youth and Senior Programs — The City will maintain these
programs and this budget includes an investment in our parks
system of $2.1M to enhance the user experience in critical park
assets around the City.
• Police and Public Safety — This budget fully funds staff in the
Tukwila Police Department and will allow us to hire more officers,
which will result in a higher level of service then what we have
today.
• Fire and Emergency Medical Services — These services will be
enhanced with the contract to the PSRFA that is slated to begin
on January 1, 2023 and will include a higher level of service that
what we have today. The cost of the contract about the same as
the 2022 budget for the Tukwila Fire Department and includes
new services such as a broad public education effort and a new
CARES unit that deploys a social worker and nurse to low -acuity
calls for emergency medical services. A public vote to annex to
the PSRFA is planned no later than April 2024 to cement this
partnership.
• Communications & Community Engagement — This work is
maintained in this budget with no reductions to the way we
communicate and engage with the Tukwila community.
• Infrastructure Maintenance — Over the next two years, this
budget fully funds our existing identified Neighborhood Traffic
Calming Program, constructs a new bridge at 42nd into Allentown
and continues to maintain and improve our utility infrastructure.
Human Services & Rental Assistance — The City has had a robust
response to supporting low-income community members impacted by
COVID-related wage loss. This budget includes more funding specifically
for this purpose and the general rental and utility assistance program
we provide, as well as ongoing support to organizations working in our

community around housing, wellness, food security and support for
independence.

10/26/22
Sharp
What is the strategy if Council does not choose to adopt a B&O
tax? Could departmental cuts make up the difference?
Multiple
If the B&O tax is not adopted and no alternate revenue source
identified, some staff, programs and services would need to be either
reduced or eliminated. There are not enough funds in supplies and
services to achieve the $3M that the B&O tax will generate.
Departmental cuts cannot make up the difference without staff and
service elimination. Any further reductions in supplies and services will
severely hamper the City's ability to provide required and desired
services to the community and could also have impacts on employee
morale, retention and recruitment. See answer to Question 39 above
regarding ongoing reductions over multiple biennia. The Mayor's
proposed budget includes the proposed B&O tax specifically because
there is not additional room for reductions unless the Council wishes to
eliminate staff positions and community serving programs.
42.
10/26/22
Hougardy
What is the impact of the CPI on the budget?
FIN
Salary and benefit budgets are per contractual obligation. For the four
police contracts that have been closed, 100% CPI provided along with
premium sharing included. For the one contract that is open, 90% of CPI
and health care premium sharing — where the City would pay 100% of
the employee's share and the employee would pay 10% of their
dependent coverage, has been included in the budget.
43.
10/26/22
Quinn
Provide context around critical/obligatory expenditures.
FIN
Much of the budget is non -discretionary in that it reflects CBA
requirements for staffing and other contractual requirements that are
not related to staffing. For example, debt service, liability insurance,
and owner costs related to SCORE and Valley Com dispatch center, as
well as the newly approved contract with the Puget Sound Regional Fire
Authority for fire services would all be considered non -discretionary.
All other expenditures in the general fund are tied to programs and
many programs are legally required; either externally or internally
required. Other programs are best practice — for instance, Accounts
Payable is not a legally required activity but something every City must
undertake. There are many similar programs that would not be legally
required nor truly discretionary. Any adjustment to the programs that
are not legally required would remove resources for staff to successfully
perform their job duties or provide services. Almost every program in
Updated 11/2/22
the general fund has staffing as well as supplies and services tied to
them.

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Finance and Governance Committee
FROM: Niesha Fort Brooks, Community Engagement Manager
Tony Cullerton, Deputy Finance Director
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: August 11, 2022
SUBJECT: Budget Outreach Overview and Feedback to Date
ISSUE
City staff have been engaging the community on their priorities for the 2023/2024 biennial budget. This memo
and attachments provide an overview of the information shared with staff to date.
BACKGROUND
The Administration and Council share a common goal of gathering ideas and feedback from the community on
their priorities and ideas for the 2023/2024 biennial budget. Since early June, staff have engaged with
community members at a variety of different meetings, events, and community gatherings to talk — and most
importantly, listen — to the community about the budget. There have been three main ways that community
members can share their feedback:
• Balancing Act — Online budget tool that allows individuals to propose ways to balance the City's budget
by identifying potential service cuts, service increases, revenue reductions and revenue increases. 61
individual responses were received, though some of those were staff tests. Overview of results
attached as well as verbatim comments and suggestions.
• Service Priorities & Revenue Ideas Boards — Staff attended a variety of community events (see attached
overview of budget outreach activities) and gathered feedback on service priorities and revenues by
asking community members to put dots on a board (see photos attached). Boards were translated in
Spanish, Vietnamese, and Somali.
• Online Survey— The information on the boards discussed above were also used in an online survey
format. 65 responses were received, and the full report is attached to this memo.
Outreach remains ongoing and this memo covers feedback received before August 7, 2022.
DISCUSSION
In general, the feedback staff received is as diverse as the community we serve. As you will read in the
verbatim responses to the online survey and Balancing Act tool, folks have a wide variety of ideas and
concerns. Below is an overview of the general themes that came from each of the feedback mediums:
Balancing Act: The tool was deployed to allow users to balance the budget by reducing services and/or
increasing revenues. While we did have some community members use the tool, we also heard that it was
somewhat difficult to maneuver, took a long time and was perhaps too detailed. On the backend of the
program, it does not offer complete reports in an accessible format. After review of the CSV file output, it is
clear that the suggestions and comments are the most informative portion of the tool, and they are included
here as an attachment.
Service Priorities & Revenue Ideas Boards: Below are the results from the dot exercises to date listing
expenditure priorities and input on how to bridge the revenue/expense gap.

Suggestions and Comments from the Balancing Act Tool
All suggestions included; no edits made
Develop Segale privatize golf and parks Maintenance sell old fire stations and some
properties or leases on some properties to outside sources
Moritorium on DA agreements increasing tax revenue. Contract out the golf course. Sell
surplus/ unused properties, old fire stations in so center , star nursery, unused parks.
Institute a hiring / wage freeze. Layoffs
Enforce the fireworks ban and give out citations
Implement a B&O Tax
This isn't a suggestion as much as a recognition of the process. I initially, just to see what the
budget looked like, cut 10% from every non -police, non -fire department. And what you
basically find is that without new revenue, you are still negative by more than $2 million,
which would demand 10% and 5% cuts from those departments. This is clearly a drastic
reaction, so we needed to increase revenue. I generally tried to bring our revenue rates in
line with Seattle in order to maintain services.
New revenues on businesses in our city
Increase revenues.
Add revenue stream.
Add B&O Tax
Fully implement programs and grants to maximize the work done in all areas. PW has the
most opportunity with the Infrastructure Bill. Allow fines for surface water polluters to fund
your required water quality programs and use the freed capital to support the street
sweeping, drain cleaning, flood patrol and prevention.
Add B&O Tax.
New revenue source like a b and o tax
* Amend zoning laws to enable location of more Cannabis stores
* Identify locations appropriate for short term rentals and raise the lodging tax on them.
Currently, do we even know where these businesses are operating?
* Raise development permit fees to better cover costs. (They do not currently cover costs)
B&O tax
Marginally increase taxes across the board, switch regular maintenance services where
possible to contracted services, privatize the enterprise funded items as well as other
ongoing maintenance. Including regular cleaning and mowing of the parks.
15
Increase sales tax revenue by optioning allowable increases.
Re-evaluate permit fees to insure ALL services are 100% covered by the fees. I spend time on
permit review that is not tracked that should be, pretty sure others do as well.
Petition state leg to allow for recoupment of costs associated with PRRs. With providing
everything digitally, we aren't even recouping the pathetic 5 cents per page and many of
these requests take hours and hours of staff time. Some balance between transparency and
costs to provide information should be found.
Make the golf course self sufficient or even profitable! It should not be a drain on the general
revenue! TCC and its programs should also be self sufficient, if not profitable.
Identify a new tax revenue stream.
Identify new tax revenues
Add B&O Tax
Add B&O Tax
After building the Stadium, we could see a steady source of income for many years to come
that would bring in millions of dollars.
Get rid of administrator. A Mayor is more than enough for a typical municipality.
Municipal Banking. Offer citizens from anywhere in the country access to savings, checking
and wealth building tools. It's basically what your doing with the GO bonds but you start your
own bank with the same setup as with the GO bond as your loan limits would be based on
your expected revenues. With this bank you can have access to federal reserve money at low
rates and could be leveraged by 9x and provide a significant amount of capital. Your already
doing this process but your paying middle men to take fees from you for nothing, for no
reason but paperwork. Start a Tukwila Municipal Bank today! Stop paying servicing fees just
to access money from another entity. Create your own Municipal Bank. Look it up on google
there are some cities doing it already. I heard LA was working on one too. Let's get ahead of
the coming economy and create our own nestegg as a community. This is most effective and
efficient way to access to potential revenues of our city. This would allow us to invest in
anything a bank does now including offering bonds ourselves.
Sales tax is primarily shouldered by the poorest folks in our community we need to charge
the businesses that want to work here. We are a prime location and if they don't like our fees
we wait for folks that will pay it. With zero sales tax we create demand for stores selling tax
free items here. We can use this fact to get business to come.
Bowling Alleys should pay Admission Tax.
Again Fines should not be part of any kind of budget, we create a situation where we depend
on people breaking the rules. Or possibly fines being issued more frequently or more strictly
than might be necessary to increase our budget. This seems like a horrible situation.
16
Why can't we increase our cities investments? Could we issues more bonds? Could we offer a
municipal savings account for anyone in the country and use that money to do it? Could we
open a municipal bank and self finance our budget?
What are the cost over runs for the Hiser building? Why do we have a paid mayor and a city
administrator? Why is it that the city of Seattle paid their PW $1,000 bonus for working during covid
and several other city did the same but Tukwila is hurting for funds. Need to sell the golf course and
develop the segale properties!
Put a freeze on wages and hiring for now . Place a moratorium on DA agreements for the next 5
years...these developments use all the services but pay no taxes to support them . This would help
build a tax base so the city would be less impacted by so center fluctuations. Sell unused city
properties like the old fire station in so center, star nursery or unused parks like southgate saving
maintance and upkeep $$$.
Highlight more of our attributes...sea wolves, encourage more 5ks on our trail like the sounders 5k.
I started with an across the board 2% decreases in spending - not sufficient. 5% across the board was
also insufficient. The next step was a 10$ decrease in Police, Fire (both Supression and
Prevention/Investigation),and Public Works (both Engineering and Streets). At this point in the
brutality I then saw a $55,839 surplus. This may mean that an across the board decrease of 7-8% may
do the job rather than having some areas have a 10% cut while others have 5%
INCREASE LITTER CLEAN UP AND EDUCATION
Mental Health Responders for homeless outreach
Fully fund your infrastructure and the rest will take care of itself. Raise fees and rates in all areas to
fully fund PW and supporting efforts and your community will have safe streets, with every street
light on, bridges that stand up to time, water in every fire hydrant and no sewer backups or floods
that destroy buildings, roads and businesses.
Before building all the "shiny objects" that departments offer as good ideas, do a thorough evaluation
of the M&O costs and understand the staff impacts to support the new "shiny objects." Tukwila loves
to spend money on building and implementing new things and projects, but NEVER considers the
long-term impacts of what it will take to own, operate, and maintain. The PSP is a perfect example of
spending **WAY** beyond the means of the City to get something new and shiny without fully
understanding the costs to build (I mean, just how far over budget is it, really, well over 50% over
budget and approaching 100% over budget) and the long term costs to operate and maintain. This
also applies to park plans, city-wide free wifi, all the toys that PD and Fire want, and more. While they
are great plans and ideas, they are NOT FREE and impact the overall financial wellness of the City!
Build a City -Owned Stadium that can be leased to professional sports teams and reward Tukwila
residents with drastically reduced rates.
Let's not cut police.
The police have been asked to do to many jobs in our society for to long. They need a break and
deserve help from our community. We need to remove as many tasks that don't have anything to do
with policing. We shouldn't have asked them to shoulder so much and we should start by cutting their
budget by as much as is safe to do so.

I think recently the fire department had something like a million dollars in overtime, shore up that
and be a little more intelligent with staffing and that would be like a 5% cut but really it would just be
an elimination of a wasteful activity.
Reduce overtime/ call outs. Also reconfigure so if its an aid call ( which is the majority of calls ) they
don't have to take the ladder truck but can take an aid vehicle instead
Hand over to south king county fire...like you should have done years ago.
cut the engineering postions and farm out what you can't do in house
administration can always be cut, but instead it seems to continously grow showing itself as a needed
service when it's a cost that if we are thinking of "cutting" important services like police and fire, the
city staff can handle waiting a little longer.
Start at the top
These are the parts of the government that everyone has some interaction with. They provide most if
not all paperwork most people need to interact with the city. This process should be as simple and
quick as possible. I think it's possible to make the experience more effective and interesting to the
citizens. The clerk will know how to use the additional funds in my opinion better than the council.
Instead of haveing all the see you in the parks , just have 1 tukwila days / wildlife festival weekend at
the tcc reducing staff hours planning , setting
up and staffing multiple events. Stop trying to build a 2nd community center.
Contract out some of the mowing etc saving benefits and wages
If you look at the parks, over the years you see them cutting back on their areas they focus on. the
Green river trail used to be mowed a lot more they used to have a lot more cutting back and cutting
back, I remember a time when the grass was green in the summer at some of the lesser known parks.
It would be nice if they had staff that could support reliable maintenance.
No new park until the parks we have can be maintained and regulated properly.
Fully Fund Finance.
Start at the top. Why does the mayors office need this big of a budget ?
In these times I believe it is up to the entire government to lead our city by example by elimination of
everything unnecessary. I believe this has to include eliminating the salaries of the leadership. Public
service is a privilege and should be provided for free. The money can be used for an increase of other
folks pay rates
The court is where an individual can have the lives completely or partially destroyed in an instant.
Many people are terrified to set foot inside of one, especially any immigrants or black or brown folks.
It is our responsibility to do best we can to fund these services so we can support our community to
grow stronger. Our courts should be a place we can begin to heal and trust each other again. If we all
know that in our city we will treat everyone with respect and will not tolerate any type attacks our
community.
If these are GO bonds can we delay our payments for a few years somehow without messing up our
bond worthiness?
Contract out running of the golf course and maintenance to private company
Golf should be able to pay for itself.

POLICE DEPARTMENT HIRING PROCESS VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Tukwila Police Department is seeking members of the community who are interested in volunteering with the Police Department hiring process as members of an
interview panel for selection of Police Department staff. Click here for more information and to apply.
THE CITY WANTS COMMUNITY FEEDBACK ON 2023-2024 BIENNIAL BUDGET
The new budget cycle will be challenging for the City. Revenues are slow to return to pre-pandemic levels. Inflation is at its highest level in 40 years, resulting in higher
costs for supplies, materials and wages. We have a budget tool that you can make budget adjustments. Your challenge is to develop a balanced budget.
Click here for more information.
CONSTRUCTION VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR THE RIVERTON TINY HOMES!
