HISTORY OF PUGET SOUND FIRE Active partnership between Tukwila Fire Department and Puget Sound Fire •Through the South King County Fire Training Consortium, Tukwila and Puget Sound Fire firefighters all attend the same training academy. •All firefighters complete the same joint entry level testing process. •Tukwila Fire Department and Puget Sound Fire have had a mutual aid agreement to help each other across jurisdictional boundaries. 7 BENEFITS OF A REGIONAL FIRE AUTHORITY Enhanced Levels of Service •Public Education programs provide civic groups, schools, businesses, and residents fire and life safety training and community engagement resources. •A larger Fire Marshal Office reduces time to receive fire-related building permits and provides fire prevention and safety guidance through routine fire inspections. •FD CARES provides non-emergency medical services and connect residents to community resources that will better meet their needs than a call to 9-1-1. 8 BENEFITS OF A REGIONAL FIRE AUTHORITY Regionalization of services is equitable, more efficient, and cost-effective. •Costs are decreased to individual fire departments when they can share resources and a larger revenue base. •Centralized fire service management results in cost savings in administration, personnel, equipment, and operating costs. •Levels of service are improved through consistent training and operational guidelines. 9 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS How is Puget Sound Fire funded? f •Part 1: Property Tax Levy •Fluctuates based on assessed values. •Does not consider the hazards and risk associated with a property. •Part 2: Fire Benefit Charge •Based on the resources needed to extinguish a fire (size, use and risk) •Applied to structures – not vacant land •Discounts are available for monitored alarms, fire sprinkler systems, senior/disabled citizens, and for agricultural enterprises •Questions or more information: TukwilaRFAVote@pugetsoundfire.org 10 11 BENEFITS OF ANNEXATION Annexation provides a secure funding source for Fire and EMS services in Tukwila. Annexation brings representation on the Governance Board. •City of Tukwila would have three (3) voting representatives on Puget Sound Fire’s Governance Board. •Tukwila’s representatives on the Governance Board will actively participate in making decisions that guide and oversee the fire authority. Annexation also allows the City of Tukwila the option to maintain other key City services and avoid budget cuts that could reduce or eliminate programs. 12 2010–2021 – Multiple efforts in Tukwila to review fire services and costs. Oct. 2021 – Tukwila Mayor and City Council appoint the Future of Fire/EMS Community Advisory Committee.

Should the City of Tukwila be annexed into and be a part of the Puget Sound Regional Fire Authority to maintain current fire and emergency medical service levels, effective January 1, 2024, per City of Tukwila Council Resolution No. 2070?” YES NO 14 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What happens if this measure passes? f •City of Tukwila would no longer have responsibility for funding fire department costs. •Puget Sound Regional Fire Authority Governance Board, including three (3) Tukwila City Councilmembers, would be responsible for the budget and decide on service levels and program offerings. What happens if this measure does not pass? f •City of Tukwila will continue to be responsible for funding fire department costs and will not have voting representation on the Puget Sound Regional Fire Authority Governance Board. •The City will likely have to review levels of municipal services in the 2025/2026 budget. •Without additional revenues the City would need to reduce or eliminate programs, such as recreation, street cleaning and litter pick up, police staffing, human services funding, fire and EMS services, communications, rental housing inspections, parking enforcement, and investments in infrastructure such as roads and bridges. 15 Thank you! 4 2023 Budget Outcomes Operating•$150 million to move people from encampments •Additional BLEA classes •Diversion program grants •Continued funding for Blake cases •Alternative response grants •Housing & homeless assistance •Behavioral health investments Transportation•$287 million for TIB •$70 million Safe Routes to Schools •$1 billion for state and local culverts •$23.7 million for pilot federal funds exchange •$2.5 million for truck parking sites •$45.7 million for FMSIB •Study of a statewide retail delivery fee •Study of collaborative partnerships on local delivery of state projects Capital•Fully funded the PWAA •$400 million for the Housing Trust Fund •$200 million for broadband •$60 million for CHIP •Additional Drinking Water Assistance Account funding •$25 million for CERB •$48.4 million for culverts •$211 for behavioral health capacity grants Housing bills Proactive approach this year AWC Housing Solutions Group proposals Passed •HB 1110 –Middle housing & density mandate. •HB 1042 –Conversion of existing commercial and mixed-use buildings for residences. •HB 1046 –Increases AMI threshold for housing authority projects to 80%. •HB 1293 –Objective design review. •HB 1250 –Low-income home rehabilitation program reform. •HB 1267 –Rural public facilities tax with workforce housing nexus. •HB 1326 –Can waive utility connection fees for certain housing and shelter. •HB 1337 –ADU mandate. •HB 1425 –New version of the annexation sales tax credit. •HB 1474 –Covenant homeownership program. •HB 1695 –Broadens definition of affordable housing under surplus property law. 7 8 5 Housing bills •SB 5058 –It’s not a condo! •SB 5290 –Local project review. •SB 5604 –Amends HB 1406 (2020) sales tax credit to allow all cities to use revenue for rent assistance. •SB 5258 –Increasing condos and townhouses for homeownership. •SB 5386 –Document recording fees. •SB 5412 –Exempting housing development consistent with a comp plan and when environmental analysis is completed from SEPA. •SB 5491 –Residential building exits.
