DATE: January 17, 2023
SUBJECT: Re -Landscape Foster Golf 7th Green
ISSUE
The 7th green is one of the original constructed greens at Foster Golf Links. It currently is undersized
and does not properly drain to a degree that allows optimal playability throughout the year.
DISCUSSION
Re -landscaping the green will allow for less maintenance and better play with a larger footprint for play
to spread out. The redesign is up to United States Golf Association (USGA) specifications for square
footage and subservice drainage over upgraded irrigation.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
As provided in the budget and to provide the optimum level of service to the community — allowing for
the re landscape of the 7th green with a turnkey contractor with a one-time cost of $130,000.
Execution of this contract does not create any general fund expenditures as the work would be done
exclusively within the Foster Golf Course or 411 Fund.
RECOMMENDATION
Department staff ask that council approve the contract.

described below:
CA revised May 2020

or, at its discretion, procure or renew such insurance and pay any and all premiums in connection

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Community Services and Safety Committee
FROM: Chief of Police Eric Dreyer
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: January 16th, 2023
SUBJECT: PD Recruitment Update
ISSUE
Law enforcement agencies have seen difficulties over the last several years with recruiting
quality law enforcement officers. Creative ideas and focused efforts on recruitment strategies
will be essential for any agency to be successful with its hiring moving forward.
BACKGROUND
Recruitment in Washington has been impacted state-wide. The Washington Association of
Sheriffs and Police Chiefs reports that there has been a loss of 800 officers in Washington state,
entering 2023 with an approximate 7.5% reduction in law enforcement. The Tukwila Police
Department has had both success and failure when trying to address recruitment for our
commissioned officer positions over the last several years. As we entered 2022, recruitment
was somewhat stagnant, for every officer that was hired, one seemed to leave. Our recruitment
efforts were not prepared for the challenges of the law enforcement hiring environment of the
preceding two years.
Prior to 2022, we had a part-time recruiter that was efficient in traditional ways of recruiting for
law enforcement; however, we have since realized that a single recruiter working part-time on
recruitment was not enough to manage the recruitment needs of the Department in the
environment that we were in and still are facing. We were forced to get creative and be willing
to make short-term sacrifices for long-term gain.
DISCUSSION
Tukwila Council and the community have provided the support and resources needed to be
competitive with other law enforcement agencies in the region, placing the police department in
a position for positive recruitment and retention of its officers. To take advantage of this
position, the police department has made significant changes to our recruitment and hiring
programs.
To address the change in the law enforcement recruitment environment, we moved one of our
commissioned officers from Patrol to a full-time recruiter position on a temporary basis to
supplement our recruitment team in the Professional Standards Division. We then analyzed our
recruitment and hiring processes from the beginning (when a position opens) until the end
(when a new officer has passed probation and is successfully working on their own.) We have
taken a holistic approach to recruitment, hiring, training, mentoring, and officer wellness to
address both recruitment and training to provide Tukwila with the best officers to serve our
community.
We fully recognize that modern-day recruiting efforts are heavily dominated by online
recruitment platforms such as ZipRecruiter, Linkedln, Monster, etc., as well as online marketing
and advertising efforts, in which Tukwila participates. But the truth remains that any organization
cannot neglect the need for proactive face-to-face interaction with positive rapport building as
11
12
INFORMATIONAL MEMO
Page 2
part of recruiting efforts, especially when a career in law enforcement demands face-to-face
interaction as a primary function of the job.
With the current competitive recruiting environment, candidates want to join an organization
where they feel welcomed as a new member of a team and where they will feel appreciated for
their contributions to the community. Therefore, we have developed a more personalized
approach to recruiting applicants to inspire them to join our Tukwila family.
With a regional testing center (Public Safety Testing, an independent law enforcement applicant
testing site) in Tukwila, we have been sending a team of recruiters on testing days to personally
engage with potential applicants. In addition, we have sent recruitment teams to other testing
sites in the state, including some universities and the JBLM military base.
We provide tours of the Justice Center and ride-alongs for the applicants. They are evaluating
us, as well, and we want them to understand the culture and community that they will be joining.
We have streamlined each stage of the hiring process (Testing center - Oral board panel — Civil
Service Certification - Chief's Interview - Background Investigation — Medical & Psychological)
and created a more efficient transition from one stage of the process to the next to minimize any
downtime.
We continue to work closely with the Civil Service Commission as they provide oversite for the
hiring process and certifications of each eligibility list. Additionally, we are proposing to Council
an amendment to the Tukwila Municipal Code Civil Service process that will aid in finding
qualified applicants and expedite the interview process.
The police department is already seeing the benefits of these changes to our recruiting. We
finished 2021 with seven frozen positions plus four vacancies, for a total vacancy deficit of
eleven (11) officers. Working through 2022, and with the current budget for 2023, the seven
frozen positions were added back to the budgeted staffing roster. Our current vacancy deficit is
five (5) officers, keeping in mind that this number includes tentative job offers, which means that
applicants must still pass the background check. {Refer to attached Staffing roster}
Additionally, in anticipation of known and potential officer attrition during the budget cycle (such
as retirements or resignations), the police department will assess the advantages of making job
offers for commissioned "pipeline" positions. ("Pipeline" positions are authorized non -budgeted
positions that are provided for the purpose of staying ahead of potential staffing attrition.)
As discussed previously with Council, all entry-level candidates will need to go through the
academy, which can delay when they can work on their own. However, four of the recent job
offers went to lateral officers and certified entry applicants, which have already attended an
equivalent state academy.
The police department has its next round of oral board interviews of entry-level applicants
scheduled for the 25th of January.
We will continue to keep the Council informed regularly of our recruitment efforts as the year
progresses.

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Community Services and Safety Committee
FROM: Chief of Police Eric Dreyer
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: January 16th, 2023
SUBJECT: Amendment to Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) Chapter 2.42 Civil Service
Commission
ISSUE
To meet the police department's recruitment needs, the police department is proposing that the
TMC language be amended to create a "rule of five," vs the current rule of three. This would
codify the process that has been presented to and support by the Civil Service Commission.
BACKGROUND
Chapter 2.42.030 of the TMC refers to a Civil Service eligibility list. (This list is generated
through an objective testing process and an oral board panel.) The appointing authority, (the
Chief of Police) must make an appointment from the top-ranked three applicants on the
eligibility list for each position to be filled. With only being able to select from the top three
candidates, this "rule of three" reduces the ability to find the most qualified candidates,
increases the time it takes to schedule and conduct interviews, and allows other agencies to
hire the quality applicants before we get a chance to interview them.
Almost every applicant that the police department interviewed in 2022 was in the hiring process
with multiple law enforcement agencies at the same time. The greatest threat to current
recruitment efforts is in having a hiring process that is not efficient or flexible, giving competing
agencies the edge.
DISCUSSION
In order to meet the police department's recruitment needs, the police department is proposing
that the TMC language be amended to create a "rule of five."
TMC 2.42.030 Commission Organization — Duties
B. Duties of the Commission.
10. When a vacant position is to be filled, to certify to the appointing
authority, on written request, the names of the three five persons highest
on the eligible list for the class. The Commission shall make provision in
its rules for provisional or temporary appointments to be utilized when
there is no such eligible list applicable to the vacant position, or which
may be utilized at the discretion of the appointing authority when there
are less than thrccfive names on the eligibility list applicable to the vacant
position. Such temporary or provisional appointment shall not exceed a
period of six months in duration but may be extended for up to an
additional six months if for any reason it cannot be determined at the
expiration of the initial appointment that the position being filled by
temporary or provisional appointment will in fact continue to be vacant,
such as in the instance of a position vacant due to an officer on disability
leave under the LEOFF Act, or for other good cause which in the

discretion of the Commission warrants an additional extension of such a
provisional or temporary appointment.
A "rule of five" will allow the Chief of Police to see a deeper pool of applicants per position
opening. A deeper pool creates a greater opportunity to identify the most qualified applicants,
reduces rescheduling of interview delays resulting from exhausting a shorter interview list of
applicants, and increases our ability to compete with other agencies vying for the same people.
Amending TMC 2.42.030 to read "top-ranked five applicants" will expedite our hiring process
and allow for greater potential to find quality applicants to serve the Tukwila Community.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
No financial impact.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to approve the amendment to TMC 2.42.030 and consider this item
at the January 23rd, 2023, Committee of the Whole meeting and subsequent Special Meeting on
the same date.
