Project Updates
• 2023 Annual Overlay Program:
Estimated Completion: Oct 2023
The Annual Overlay program is a maintenance program focused on keeping the City's streets
in good or better condition for both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Construction started on
July 10, 2023. The following streets are in the program and have the following updates:
o S. 139th St., 51st Ave. S, 52nd Ave S, S. 137th St. - Asphalt overlay and the new chain
link fence transition at 53rd/139th have been completed.
O 32nd Ave. S, 33rd Pl S - Asphalt overlay has been completed. We have noted a small
sink hole near the north end of the 32nd scope that will need additional attention.
o S 140th St. - Asphalt overlay has been completed. Replacement of the asphalt speed
humps between 33rd Place and 35th Avenue needs to be completed.
O 35th Ave. S - Asphalt overlay has been completed. Punch list items remain, including
additional edge restoration on the east edge of the roadway.
o S. 142nd St., 37th Ave. S - Water District 125 waterline installation on these streets is
complete and final overlay has been placed. Edge restoration and casting
adjustments remain.
o S. 144th St. - Asphalt overlay has been completed in this area. Final channelization
remains. There are buried valve boxes in this area that we would like raised to final
grade soon.
O 42nd/119th Pedestrian Crossing - The majority of the work at this crossing has been
completed short of final channelization, installation of the flashing beacons and
handrail (both due to long lead time procurement constraints). We are also tracking a
failing concrete test on the eastern half of the raised crosswalk which may require
removal/replacement of half of the new crosswalk section.
• Crystal Springs Park Service -Learning Project: Green Tukwila Partnership and Big Picture
School, have collaborated on a service -learning project at Crystal Springs Park for the
2023/2024 school year for ten youth. The students will learn about the three restoration
phases: local wildlife, heat maps, native plant identification, and ecosystem services. The
project will have two field trips monthly, with a couple of eco-art lessons around native plant
identification. Earlier this week was the introduction to Crystal Springs Park; one student had
his grandfather, a Tukwila Resident, join us for the tour.

The recruitment team attended multiple Public
Safety Testing recruiting events, held oral boards,
and the Chief's office interviewed several
candidates including entry levels and laterals.
Three new officers have been hired, with one
resignation, netting two new officers this quarter.
Recruitment remains a priority for the PD.
Entering into the 3rd quarter, we will have six
open Officer positions. We have Chief's
interviews 1st week of July for entry level
Officers, which we hope to fill more positions
with. It was a difficult 2nd quarter, as we had
one officer move on to another agency and had
four that did not pass the background. We
continue to attend recruitment/job fairs and
market both in and out of state for lateral
officers. The current wait time for Entry level
Officers start date in the Academy is about ten
months.
Recruitment efforts continue to advance us
towards being staffed. There are currently only
two budgeted positions remaining to be filled.
This number fluctuates as we move applicants in
and out of background investigations - Currently
we have five applicants in background. We are
sending 4 to the Academy on October 4th, and a
lateral officer begins with us in November. We
also have continued Civil Service testing of Entry
applicants and will have more interviews in mid
October. As we enter 2024, we will be able to
start back -filling the depleted specialty units, with
the goal of having fully deployable staff with a full

Test -period for Flock is complete and has proven
to be a great success. In both February and

more stolen vehicle recoveries than stolen vehicle
reports taken. Additionally, on many occasions

investigations of neighboring agencies, including
a homicide.
Flock camera contract approved by Council. Flock
cameras have continued to assist with
investigations and continue to increase our stolen
vehicle recoveries. Currently working with some
private businesses that may have Flock cameras
installed on their properties, increasing our
network of cameras, as they provide access to the
Police Department. Additionally, more cities in
the region are installing Flock cameras, as they
see the benefit.
Flock continued to be a useful tool for the Police
Department. The numbers in the third quarter
were: 1,396 hits in July, 1,441 hits in August and

About half their time was spent on back filling Patrol shifts
that were under -staffed.
Our Community Liaison and Community Police
Team returned to their original assignments at the
end of the quarter on the 1st of September. They
were able to provide more focus to our homeless
population, which primarily consisted of working
with individuals associated with the light -rail
station, as well as efforts providing assistance to
Riverton United Methodist Church. They have also
been able to provide resources to individuals that
were living in cars and a camper along 115th in
