a. A resolution granting a variance to the City's Flood Ordinance to allow wet- floodproofing
of the Starfire Sports Athletic Center
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON,
ALLOWING FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE VARIANCE TO TUKWILA MUNICIPAL CODE
CHAPTER 16.52 AND ALLOWING FOR THE WET FLOODPROOFING OF THE STARFIRE
ATHLETIC CENTER
Councilmember Linder reported consideration of this item at the June 17, 2003 Utilities Committee. She
noted portions of Fort Dent Park (and the proposed athletic center) are within the Green River floodplain.
To that end, the proposed indoor athletic center does not meet federal standards for floodplain
construction in accordance with TMC 16.52.
Brian Shelton, City Engineer, was present. It was reported the variance sought (by Starfire Sports) would
allow for wet floodproofing of the center an acceptable alternative to the TMC. As the City participates
in the National Flood Insurance Program, the City has developed a required floodplain management
standard and floodplain construction permit process. The City has adopted the U. S. Army Corps of
Engineers Flood- Proofing Regulations, FEMA Floodproofing Standards and the Federal Insurance
Administration Regulations, which allow the City authority to grant wet floodproofing variances.
It was noted that offices, restrooms and the concession areas (all components subject to flood damage)
will all be at least one foot above the base flood elevation. Additionally, it was noted that when the
variance permit is sought by Starfire Sports, they will also submit a hold harmless agreement to the City,
in the event of flooding.

b. Approval of Purchase Replacement Defibrillators Fire Department
Page 4 of 4
June 23, 2003
Councilmember Duffie reported discussion /review of this item at the June 16, 2003 Finance and Safety
Committee. Don Tomaso, Fire Marshal, reported that although Zoll Medical Corporation did not submit
the lowest bid for the required replacement of the City's dated defibrillators, they were the most
responsive.
After studying submitted bids, Fire staff chose the Zoll bid for such reasons as:
1. Paper tape capability for recording heart rhythms;
2. Better readout screens than other machines;
3. Better customer support system;
4. Receipt of several product- related items at no charge (i.e., cables, voice boards, and
Smart Ready Battery)
5. Reputation these machines are being used by many local, area cities.
Mr. Tomaso reported replacement of the defibrillators is marked as "capital outlay" in the 2003 budget.
Additionally, he reported Zoll Medical Corporation will allow the City to order 8 defibrillators in 2003, while
deferring the cost of two of them until 2004, when additional funding is available.
DUFFIE MOVED; HAGGERTON SECONDED; TO APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF REPLACEMENT
DEFIBRILLATORS, IN THE AMOUNT OF $60,000.00. The motion carried 7 -0.
c. Approval of Permit Fireworks Display Family Fourth at the Fort (Fort Dent)
Don Tomaso, Fire Marshal, informed Council that City staff has received the necessary Certificate of
Insurance for Entertainment Fireworks, Inc. Said policy expires January 15, 2004. Further, Mr. Tomaso
noted the only outstanding item is receipt of acknowledgement from the City of Renton's Fire
Department. Anytime an event crosses jurisdictional boundary lines, one entity is required to notify the
other. The City of Tukwila has notified Renton, with no word (or objection) being received in return. Mr.
Tomaso anticipates no objection from the City of Renton; however, should one be raised, a "Plan B" has
been developed to redirect crowds and /or crowd control on the night of the event.
For those reasons, Council spoke favorably of approving the permit. Mayor Mullet reported the
coordinator, Tom Whitacre, does not accept payment for his services. He only seeks reimbursement for
the fireworks themselves.
DUFFIE MOVED; HERNANDEZ SECONDED; TO APPROVE A FIREWORKS DISPLAY PERMIT,
FOR THE FAMILY FOURTH AT FORT DENT PARK, SPONSORED BY THE CITY. The motion carried
7 -0.
