II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A.
Purchase: Wide Format Plotter
Staff is seeking Committee approval to purchase a wide format plotter from Zones, Inc. in the amount of
$11,628.86. Although the cost of the printer is under the threshold which requires Council approval,
Committee approval is necessary since this is the purchase of an unbudgeted capital item (per Tukwila
Municipal Code 3.32.040).
The current plotter, which was purchased in 2007, has an unrepairable motherboard. A replacement plotter
was going to be funded in the 2015-2016 Biennial Budget. Funding for this purchase will come from the
capital budget for the 2012 Regional Aerial Mapping which has a remaining balance of $22,246.24. Aerial
photographs are taken approximately every 4-6 years. Staff also anticipates a $2,250 trade-in credit for the

& Recreation Department. Although the cost of the cargo trailer is under the threshold which requires Council
approval, Committee approval is necessary since this is the purchase of an unbudgeted capital item (per
Tukwila Municipal Code 3.32.040).
Funding for this purchase will come from the Parks & Recreation Volunteer and Special Events budget which

the most efficient and cost effective ways possible. Committee members requested that Parks & Recreation

Grant Acceptance: Boeing Access Road Bridge
Staff is seeking Council approval to accept grant funding from the Federal Highway Bridge Program to
rehabilitate the Boeing Access Road Bridge over the Burlington Northern Railroad. Staff applied for grant
funding earlier this year (see Transportation Committee minutes dated April 16, 2012).
The grant application requested $10 million, and the City was awarded $9,745,600. The minimum required
20% match ($2.5 million) will be met through a Public Works Trust Fund (PWTF) Loan. If the State
Legislature does not authorize the 2013 PWTF, staff suggests utilizing municipal bonds to meet the minimum
