Thomas McLeod, Mayor
INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Finance & Governance Committee
FROM: Kris Kelly, Interim Parks & Recreation Director
BY: John H Dunn III, Recreation Superintendent
CC: Thomas McLeod, City of Tukwila Mayor
DATE: September 23, 2024
SUBJECT: Amendment to Ordinance 2532
ISSUE
Upon review of the current Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) Chapter 2.33 (Library Advisory
Board), it was discovered that some of the purposes outlined in TMC Section 2.33.010
(Establishment of Board — Purpose) was no longer relevant. This led to a review and suggested
updates that are now being presented. TMC can only be changed by ordinance, which requires
approval by the Tukwila City Council.
BACKGROUND
This amendment to Ordinance 2532, which established the Tukwila Library Advisory Board,
removes outdated purposes and clarifies the current purpose of the board and cleans up some
language.
DISCUSSION
Sections requiring update mainly include the TMC's current reference to the Board's "review of
the library agreement between the City and the King County Library System (KCLS)". This is
outdated as it references an agreement that was in place when the city owned the library. Now,
KCLS has built and runs the current library and this line is no longer needed.
The remaining lines in the purpose have been updated to reflect this change and clean up the
language. The language updates include changing the nomenclature from "citizen" to "resident"
to better reflect the City's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion principles.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Adoption of this ordinance creates no financial impact on any city funds.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to approve the amendment to Ordinance 2532 and consider this
item at the October 7, 2024, Regular Meeting Consent Agenda.
