Home My WebLink About2008-11 Hazelnut Newsletter - Volume 29 No. 5r1 HAZE A City of Tukwila publication for our residential and business communities VOLUME 29, NUMBER 5 NOVEMBER 2008 190$ / Celebrating 100 years Tukwila's first biennial Preliminary Budget and Capital Plan are presented to Council On October 13 the City Council received the Proposed 2009-2010 Biennial Budget and 2009-2014 Financial Plan- ning Model and Capital Improvement Pro- gram. This begins the process of Council re- view and deliberation, with final adoption of these documents slated for mid-December. Earlier this year the City's Finance Director took another job. I was firmly committed to moving forward with implementation of a two-year (biennial) budget for 2009- 2010, which required filing our intent with the State of Washington by June 30. As we searched for a replacement Finance Director, we contracted with an interim director — Bob Noland — whose guidance enabled the City to secure the needed State authorization and begin a new budget preparation process. Our search resulted in the hiring of new Finance Director Shawn Hunstock, who comes to us with excellent experi- ence in all facets of financial requirements for cities in the State of Washington. Working with our City's administra- tion, department directors, and Finance Department staff, he brought us forward to the point of presenting our preliminary budget to the City Council at their October 13 meeting. You are invited to attend a Public Hearing on the 2009-2010 biennial budget, to be held Monday, November 17, 2008 at 7:OOPM, in Council Chambers at Tukwila City Hall For more information, please call 206-433-1835 My approach to the budget for Tukwila covering 2009-2010 can be stated as "cau- tious optimism" We are working very hard to keep economic development moving forward, and looking into many areas of operating more efficiently internally, while providing improved services to our citizens. We must keep our revenues at a level to provide the needed improvements through- out the City. On an unrelated — and enjoyable — note, I was recently in- vited and participated in the first trial run of Sound Transit's Light Rail from the Othello Street Station to just short of the Tukwila Station! Invited guests included Senator Patty Murray and Sound Transit's Director, Board chair and Board members, who were all impressed with the smooth and qui- et performance of the rail cars. (See Preliminary budget figures on back page) / Jim Hagrton, Mayor City of Tukwila thanks its volunteers at banquet On Friday, September 19 more than 100 City volunteers and staff enjoyed a vol- unteer appreciation event held at the Tukwila Community Center. The theme for this year's event was "Kamanna- Wanna-Thankya" and featured authentic Hawaiian food and entertainment.

The City's current Master Program was adopted in 1974, with only minor amendments in 1982 and 1987, and since that time there has been much additional development along the river. Along with changing Federal regulations, in 2003 the State Department of Ecology, the agency that implements the Shoreline Management Act, adopted new regulations affecting the shoreline areas of the state which requires all local jurisdictions to regulations by updating their Master Programs. If you own property along the Green/Duwamish River or have a business along the river, please take a minute to review the draft program and other information related to the update on the City's web site at www.ci.tukwila.wa.us. The Plan- ning Commission will be recommending changes to the staff draft and then this document will go to the City Council for its review. As this Hazelnut goes to press, the Planning Commission is scheduled to begin deciding on changes to the document on November 13, 2008, but check the City's website for an up-to-date schedule of Planning Commission meetings. If you have questions about the draft Master Program or wish to be added to the shoreline mailing list, please contact Carol Lumb at 206-431-3661 or email her at clumb@ci.tukwila.wa.us. comply with these new Tukwila's trees: Value beyond beauty Did you know that property values increase by as much as 20% for yards that have trees? Other benefits include better stormwater management, energy savings, improved air quality, noise buffering, wildlife habitat, and commercial area en- hancement. That is why the City of Tukwila encourages property owners to keep and plant trees, and has regulations protecting trees and regulating their removal. Remember: Permits are often required prior to removal of any tree over 4" in diameter. Contact the Department of Community Development at 206-431-3670. Tree removal requires the compensation of planting new trees. • The larger the tree removed, the more new trees must be planted on the site.

Safe shopping tips for holidays and always As the holiday season approaches, malls, other retailers, and grocery stores are more crowded than usual with busy shop- pers. Whether you are about to celebrate a holiday in the coming weeks or not, keep the followings in mind when going out to shop (and the rest of the year, too). Common- sense measures are the key to thwarting thieves. Some of the easiest things are the most effective: • Park in well -lit areas. • Be aware of your surroundings at all times. • Lock the doors and take the keys. • Each time you make a purchase, make sure you leave with your checkbook, credit cards and wallet. • Have your keys in your hand while walking to your car. • Keep a secure hold on your purse and parcels. • Do not put items down or on your car to open the door. • If there are suspicious people in the area, return to the store and ask for an escort back to your vehicle. • If you've put packages in your car and intend to go back for more shopping, lock your purchases in the trunk and move your car to another parking location on the other side of the mall, since you never know who is watching. • Make a plan with children in case you get separated. Have a central meeting place, and review with your kids who they can turn to for help if they find themselves alone. Police Explorers lend a hand Tukwila Police Explorers helped with the Third Annual Steppin' Out to Stop Domestic Violence Walk-a-Thon.

The City's intent is that the new sign code will respond to the needs of current and future busi- nesses, while improving the visual ap- pearance of the City. Because business and citizen involve- ment is vital to this update, the City Council established a Sign Code Advi- sory Committee to provide feedback to City staff. The Committee is comprised of two City Councilmembers, one Planning Commission member, three Tukwila residents, and two Tukwila business representatives. The Committee has met five times since May and will continue to meet for several months, providing recom- mendations to staff regarding dynamic signs, freestanding signs and building - mounted signs. Once the Committee's work is completed, it will be reviewed by the City's Planning Commission and City Council. The City anticipates the adoption of its new sign code by May or June of 2009. All meetings of the Sign Code Advisory Committee, Planning Commission, and City Council are open to the public and the public is encouraged to attend. For further information, please visit www.ci.tukwila.wa.us/dcd/signco- dereg.html, or contact Brandon Miles at 206-431-3684 or email bmiles@ci. tukwila.wa.us. ukwila Int'I Rnulevard Rosiness Iicense renewals Roadway Improvements The City of Tukwila has hired an en- gineering firm — KPG, Inc. — to design roadway improvements along Tukwila International Boulevard between South 116th Street and South 139th Street.

NOVEMBER 2008 5 Gt7kr�t s A/ao6') TriMalt Sie' wag Forum addresses homelessness in South King County On September 25, the cities of SeaTac and Tukwila, along with support from United Way, sponsored an educational forum on homelessness in SeaTac and Tukwila. The forum featured speakers representing the Tukwila and Highline school districts, the King County Housing Authority, Sound Mental Health, the King County Veterans Program, Auburn Youth Resources, the YWCA, King County Veterans and Human Services Levy, and the Way Back Inn. Panelists identified need for services and resources in the population they serve, painting details of what homelessness looks like in our communities. A video on Ending Family Homelessness was shared to educate the audi- ence on how successful programs could be crafted to keep families stable. The 68 attendees — school district, City Council and other government staff, faith -based community, service providers, advisory board members and interested citizens — discussed issues like finding permanent housing, living wage jobs, relationship building and information/referral sharing. Kent city planner and South King County Homeless Coordinator Jason Johnson shared strategies from the plan "South King County Response to Homelessness: A Call for Action", including ideas such as providing and maintaining housing affordable to lower-income populations, supporting plans to create and expand job training and living wage jobs, and develop- ing political and community programs to prevent and end homelessness. A follow-up meeting which will be scheduled for November. Volunteers drive seniors to doctor appointments Senior Services' Volunteer Transportation Program uses volunteer drivers to transport seniors — at no charge — to medical appointments in Seattle, Tacoma, and on the Eastside. These drivers also serve as escorts, waiting with seniors at their appointments before driving them home. Seniors must be able to get in and out of a private car with minimal assistance. Call 206-448-5740 or 1-800-282-5815 to sign up and to request a ride. More volunteer drivers are urgently needed in Tukwila; seniors are turned away each week due to a lack of available drivers. Using their own ve- hicles, volunteers get mileage and parking reimbursement, supplemental liability insurance, and flexible hours. Please call us at 206-448-5740 or 1-800-282-5815, or apply online at www.seniorservices.org. Human Services Office Evie — 206-433-7180 Stacy — 206-433-7181 Crisis Clinic (24-hour line) 206-461-3222 Home Repair Programs Minor Home Repair services for the cities of Tukwila, SeaTac and Des Moines will return in 2009 with new funding from Federal Com- munity Development Block Grant dollars. Tukwila's share of funds for repair services will assist low- and moderate -income homeowners with health and safety -oriented home struc- ture repair needs. Licensed and bonded repair contractors address a variety of needs includ- ing carpentry, electrical and plumbing, as well as protective and preventative measures to keep a house in working order. Human Services staff determine a resident's el- igibility through income screening, documen- tation of the need, and paperwork fulfillment. Approved residents then receive a call from the contracted providers to schedule work. The program provides up to $2,000 during a fiscal year per household, with a lifetime limit of $5,000. Funds are allocated as carefully as possible to ensure that the greatest number of residents with the most critical needs is served. In 2007, 23 Tukwila homeowners were as- sisted with 36 home repair jobs. Please call 206-433-7180 for screening. Residents with repair needs exceeding the City's Minor Home Repair budget can be re- ferred to the King County Housing Repair program, which offers limited emergency grants and low-income, no -interest loans up to $25,000. No monthly payments are required, and the loan is repaid at the time the house is sold or the title transferred, refinanced, or no longer used as a primary residence. A match- ing funds program, also available, matches the funding with a loan from a local lender or pri- vate funds. Emergency grants, which do not have to be repaid, are available for life-threat- ening repair needs in owner -occupied homes. Emergency grants are available up to $3,000. Mobile home grants are available for up to $5,000, for mobile homeowners who do not own the land on which the mobile home is located. For information on this King County program, call 206-263-9095.

The project will improve the habitat for birds, small mammals and frogs along the recently restored wet- land located on Andover Park West, south of Strander on the southeast side of Tukwila Pond. Funded in part by a "Wa- terWorks" grant from King County's Department of Natural Resources and Parks, the project will enhance public access, and is part of an overall plan to improve water quality, wild- life habitat, and public enjoyment at Tukwila Pond. Earth Corps volunteers from all over the world began remov- ing and cutting back many of the blackberries in September. A group of energetic employees from AT&T in Bellevue vol- unteered during the United Way Day of Caring, continuing blackberry removal and preparing the area for future planting. Volunteers from Macy's Logisitics (the City's official partner on the project) helped in October with more blackberry con- trol, as did Girl Scouts of Western Washington Service Unit 035 that planted native trees and shrubs. Work was fueled by coffee donated by Starbucks at Barnes & Noble. There's still more to do. The project thus far has been a real community effort, one we want to continue and broaden. Volunteers wanting to "get dirty" can cut back blackberries, do plantings, spread wood chips, and weed. To get involved and be kept up-to-date on future work parties, please contact Tracy Gallaway, Volunteer Coordinator at 206-768-2822.
