INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Finance and Governance Committee
FROM: Aaron BeMiller, Finance Director
BY: Adam Schierenbeck, Acting Fiscal Manager
CC: Thomas McLeod, Mayor
DATE: September 15, 2025
SUBJECT: Department of Revenue Business Licensing Services Agreement
ISSUE
The Washington State Department of Revenue (DOR) has requested that the City sign a new
Business Licensing Services Agreement (Agreement), which will replace the current Agreement.
BACKGROUND
On December 10, 2018, an Agreement was entered between the City and the Washington State
Department of Revenue (DOR) under which the DOR Business Licensing Services (BLS)
program agreed to act as the City's agent for the purpose of collecting, processing, and
disbursing information, licenses, and fees related to Tukwila's general business licensing under
TMC Chapter 5.04.
Under the Agreement, the City receives confidential licensing information that is protected from
public disclosure by state law. The DOR has requested that the City sign a new agreement
which more specifically describes the City's requirements for providing confidential licensing
information to subcontractors who carry on work performances on behalf of the City.
DISCUSSION
The new Agreement is identical in all aspects to the previous Agreement, except it more
specifically describes the data privacy conditions for subcontractors.
Whereas DOR formerly required the City to obtain approval prior to using a third party to provide
related services, the new Agreement eliminates such requirement. Instead, subcontractors must
execute an acknowledgement stating that it will follow all data security safeguards and
requirements as set forth in the Agreement. This acknowledgment shall be provided by the City
to DOR upon request.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The DOR collects user fees from business licensee as part of the application and renewal
process. The amount of the per -transaction user fee is not changing because of the new
Agreement. There is not any direct cost to the City.
RECOM M ENDATION
The Council is being asked to approve the interlocal agreement and consider this item at the
October 6, 2025 Regular Meeting Consent Agenda.
