House Bill 2015 aims to enhance public safety with resources to support law enforcement and criminal justice activities. The incremental cost of this new sales tax is ten cents ($0.10) on a one -hundred dollar ($100) purchase. BACKGROUND Beginning July 27, 2025, Cities and Counties may impose a new 0.1% sales and use tax dedicated to criminal justice purposes. The legislation sets up two processes for cities and counties to obtain funds for co -response, new officer hires, and other public safety purposes: • Grant program: One is a state -funded grant administered by the Criminal Justice Training Commission (CJTC). To be eligible, cities must meet a series of requirements; and • Councilmanic sales tax: The second is a new 0.1% sales and use tax that cities or counties can levy without going to voters to fund broadly defined criminal justice purposes, provided they meet eligibility criteria. The two funding mechanisms are structurally linked. To collect the sales tax, a jurisdiction must meet the requirements of the grant application. The total amount of grant funding potentially available to jurisdictions statewide is not set in the legislation. However, the grant program created in the bill has been funded at $100 million in the 2025 — 2027 operating budget. The grants can be used for hiring corrections officers, peer counselors, and behavioral health personnel working in co -response, as well as training on use of force, de-escalation, crisis intervention, and broader public safety work. For hiring new officers, the funding works as follows: • Up to 75% for salaries and benefits for newly hired law enforcement officers; and • Up to a maximum of $125,000 per position; and • Up to three years. The legislation instructs CJTC to give highest priority to grant applications from agencies seeking to use the grants to pay for co -response teams, followed by those from agencies that already have co -response and are seeking to hire more law enforcement. The grant program expires on June 30, 2028. Grant Eligibility: To be eligible for a grant, a law enforcement agency must have: 2 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 • Established policies that comply with state law as well as the Attorney General's guidance for law enforcement practices related to citizenship status; • Participated in CJTC trainings related to behavioral health and first aid; • Established policies on de-escalation and use of force that incorporate the Attorney General's guidance on duty to intervene and use of police dogs; • Complied with state laws on use of force data reporting; • Established policies related to civil protection orders and the court -ordered surrender of firearms; • At least 25% of officers who have completed CJTC 40-hour crisis intervention team training; • 100% completion by required officers for CJTC trainings on sexual assault and gender - based violence; • Received funds from or authorized a public safety or criminal justice sales tax; • A police chief, sheriff, or marshal who is CJTC-certified and has no felony convictions or gross misdemeanor convictions for moral turpitude, dishonesty, fraud, or corruption; and • Established policies for supervising agency volunteers, for any insignia worn by volunteers, and for restricting those volunteers from enforcing criminal laws other than for special event traffic and parking, using force, carrying weapons, or using dogs for purposes besides search and rescue. Grant applicants must also submit to the CJTC: • Detailed agency staffing reports and plans including co -response teams, administrative staff, specially commissioned officers, and officers on flexible schedules; and • Average rates for the preceding year for 911 responses and case closures. Imposing the new Sales Tax: To impose the new 0.1 % Public Safety sales tax, a city or county must: • Not have had voters reject (or repeal through referendum) sales taxes for public safety under RCW within the previous 12 months; • Comply with the requirements for the CJTC grant program the bill creates and submit documentation of compliance to CJTC; • Enact the tax through councilmanic action by June 30, 2028, or obtain voter approval at a primary or general election after that date; and • Spend the revenues for criminal justice purposes, and report this spending to AWC or the Washington State Association of Counties. The funding from the new sales tax can be used for a broad range of programs and services that support public safety including: • Law enforcement staffing and training, • Court services, • Mental and behavioral health crisis response and co -response teams, • Homelessness reduction, • Diversion and reentry programs, • Domestic violence and victim service, • Emergency Management, • Public defense. https://tukwilawa.sharepoint.com/sites/mayorsoffice/cc/CC Docs/2025 AGENDAS/2025 Agenda Packets/2025 CSS - Agenda Packets/11-10-25 - CSS Packet/HB2015 Ordinance/Informational Memorandum CSS HB2015.docx 3 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 3 DISCUSSION Public safety and criminal justice functions make up a plurality of City General Fund expenses, providing a wide range of eligible uses for this revenue. The 2025 budget includes $34.4 million in qualifying expenses related to the sales tax, as shown below. 2025 Public Safety / Criminal Justice Expenditures Police Department - All 28,411,330 Municipal Court - All 2,329,525 Justice Center General Fund Debt Service 590,021 Fleet Leases (General Fund Non -Departmental) Police Department 937,736 Emergency Management 22,713 Mayor's Office Emergency Management 486,091 Public Defense 444,500 Prosecution (part of Attorney Services) 192,000 PD-Specific Tech Upgrades (TIS) 77,700 Civil Service Testing for Police (HR) 15,000 South King County Housing & Homelessness Partners Payments Community Services & Engagement 115,000 Department of Community Development 11,407 Parks -Specific Safety (Park Maintenance) 734,894 Total Identifiable Public Safety/Criminal Justice Expenditures $34,367,918 Prior to 2008, sales tax was distributed on an origin -based model. Under this sales tax model, sales tax was distributed to the city from where the goods were shipped. This means that Tukwila industrial and warehousing activities provided the city with sufficient tax revenue to support essential public services. Beginning in 2008, the state changed to a destination -based sales tax distribution model. Under this model, sales tax is distributed to the city where the goods are taken into possession. This distribution model change resulted in a significant loss of sales tax revenue, estimated to be in excess of $3 million in 2025. In 2009, in order to help alleviate the loss of this tax revenue, the State began issuing mitigation payments annually to government entities that were negatively impacted by the distribution model change. The State's mitigation payments amounts have decreased over the years, and final payment will be made in 2026. Since 2008, the costs of providing the essential public safety services demanded by the Tukwila community have significantly increased.

The cost of this new local sales and use tax on a $100 purchase is $0.10; and WHEREAS, a city is qualified to impose the new local option sales and use tax only if the city meets the eligibility requirements to receive a grant from the Local Law Enforcement Grant Program created through ESHB 2015. The City of Tukwila meets these qualification requirements and, as such, the Tukwila Police Department submitted its substantiating documentation to the Criminal Justice Training Commission demonstrating its qualifications (See, Laws of 2025, Ch. 350 § 201(1)(c), codified at RCW 82.14.345(1)(c)-(d) and RCW 43.101.540); and WHEREAS, the City of Tukwila is located in the heart of the Puget Sound region, approximately 12 miles south of downtown Seattle, 17 miles north of Tacoma and just east of the Seattle -Tacoma International airport. Tukwila has a current population of 22,930 residents and more than 2,000 businesses that comprise over 40,000 jobs; and WHEREAS, in 2008, the Washington State Legislature changed the method it used to distribute sales tax revenue to cities to a destination -based model, where taxes are distributed to cities based on the receipt (or purchase) of goods manufactured and stored in other cities. Instead of Tukwila receiving from the State a portion of the sales tax assessed for goods that are sold and shipped from the City of Tukwila, since 2008, Tukwila has only received a portion of the sales tax assessed for goods that are delivered in the City of 2025 Legislation: Establishing HB 2015 Version: 11/4/25 Staff: T. Conkling Page 1 of 7 19 Tukwila. In 2008-2009, the state provided Tukwila with payments in amounts approximating the lost revenue due to this policy change, which totaled $1,495,833 in 2009 dollars, which is equivalent to $2,243,906 of annual lost revenue in inflation -adjusted 2025 dollars; and WHEREAS, from 2008 to 2024, the State of Washington provided steadily declining payments to the City of Tukwila to mitigate the negative effects of this policy change. In 2024, the final sales tax mitigation payment was provided to Tukwila in the amount of $141,216, and sales tax mitigation payments ceased to the City of Tukwila; and WHEREAS, the City of Tukwila has continually prioritized investments in public safety. As of 2024, the City's Police Department is fully staffed. In the most recent 5-year period (2021-2026), the Tukwila Police Department expenditures increased $11.8 million (65%), growing from $17.9 million in 2021 (actual expenditures) to $29.7 million budgeted in 2026. Over this same time period, the Police Department added 13 vehicles to its fleet, growing from 88 to 101; and WHEREAS, the Tukwila Municipal Court has earned multiple statewide awards and recognitions for its leadership and innovative justice programs, including affordable domestic violence therapy classes (DV MRT), a cost-effective and efficient interpreter scheduling system, City Council Conference Room, the Unified Payment (UP) Program, and the development of the curriculum for the Washington State Misdemeanant Probation Academy; and WHEREAS, the court offers a wide range of outreach initiatives such as civics education for all ages, mock trials for students, internship opportunities, health and justice clinics, and an onsite resource center, demonstrating its strong commitment to community engagement; and WHEREAS, in the most recent 5-year period (2021-2026), the Tukwila Municipal Court budget increased $1.2 million (50%), growing from $1.2 million in 2021 (actual expenditures) to $2.4 million budgeted in 2026. The court is currently in the middle of implementing succession planning to ensure effective operations when key staff turnover in the coming years; and, WHEREAS, Tukwila will face significant additional public defense costs and resource needs to respond to caseload limits imposed by State Supreme Court Order 25700-A-1644 beginning in January 2026, representing a significant new mandate on the local justice system in which cities must either find a way to recruit and pay for indigent defense services while case filings continue to increase or determine how to prosecute fewer offenses; and WHEREAS, revenues generated from the state -authorized sales tax will be dedicated to providing criminal justice services, including police operations, court services, and public safety programs, in accordance with RCW 82.14.345; and WHEREAS, the Tukwila Police Department and the Tukwila Community would be greatly served by the Criminal Justice Training Commission (CJTC) grants that are being 2025 Legislation: Establishing HB 2015 Version: 11/4/25 Staff: T. Conkling Page 2 of 7 20 made available through the state, conditional on this ordinance being adopted. The State has currently allocated $100 million in public safety funding for award to local governments that adopt this new local option sales and use tax; NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON, HEREBY ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS: Section 1.
