From: Steve Lancaster
Date: August 6, 2003 ~
Subject: Public hearing on an ordinance renewing a temporary moratorium on land
divisions and certain land use decisions in the Longacres TOD planning area.
Background
To date, Council has adopted two six-month moratoriums on the acceptance of applications for
certain land divisions, and development activities and land uses within the area designated for
transit-oriented development (TOD) around the temporary commuter rail/Amtrak station at
Longacres (see Figure 1). The first Ordinance (No. 1996) was adopted in September 2002. When
it expired in March, 2003, Council adopted Ordinance No. 2014, allowing more interim use of
properties during this planning period, while maintaining a moratorium on activities and uses that
would have significant long-term impacts on the ability to successfully develop a TOD.
Ordinance No. 2014 will expire August 30, 2003. Planning for the TOD area is underway, and
there is still a need for keeping the moratorium in place until a master plan for the area is in
place. CAP authorized staffto forward the proposed ordinance to Council for a public hearing at
their COW meeting on August 11, 2003. Notice for the public hearing on the moratorium was
provided. In addition, individual letters were sent to affected property owners and bdsinesses
notifying them of the scheduled hearing. Attached is a copy of the proposed ordinance.
Update on the TOD Plan
In the fall of 2002, the City received a $1.5 million federal grant to:
· prepare a TOD master plan for the Longacres area, identifying land use, urban design and
transportation/circulation objectives
· complete the Tukwila urban center (TUC) plan and incorporate the TOD plan in the overall
plans for the TUC.
Since passage of the moratorium:
· A series of workshops and stakeholder meetings have been initiated. The consultant team,
based on workshop results, is preparing a future land use scenarios for the TOD and TUC
areas.
6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 · Tukwila, Washington 98188 · Phone: 206-431~3670 · Fax: 206-431-3665
· This plan will be folded into the overall Tukwila Urban Center (TUC) plan. The TUC plan
and TOD subarea plan are anticipated to be completed and ready for the adoption process
early 2004.
Provisions of the Ordinance
Within the TOD planning area the current ordinance:
· Prohibits the filing of all permits and approvals related to:
land divisions
such uses or activities as manufacturing, industrial & auto-oriented businesses.
· Exempts the filing of and approvals related to:
The expansion of existing businesses on existing lots.
Sign permits and building permits for tenant improvements.
· Allows the filing of approvals related to:
All other uses currently allowed under TUC zoning, which support and implement the
vision for the area, including those that are easily redevelopable such as auto sales
lots, contractor or storage yards, or commercial parking.
Proposed Next Steps
1. Council holds a public hearing on the moratorium at their COW meeting on August 11, 2003.
2. At the next regular meeting on August 18, 2003, Council has the following options:
a. Take no action. Current Ordinance No. 2014, establishing a moratorium on development in
the TOD, will expire on August 30, 2003. Land divisions, development activities and land
uses will be allowed under the City's zoning. Planning and implementation of a TOD and
other transportation improvements may be more difficult.
b. Adopt the proposed ordinance, essentially extending the current moratorium for six months.
Council would then revisit the issue in six months (February 2004).
Staff Recommendations
There is still a need for keeping the existing ordinance in place until a land use/transportation
framework is adopted. Staffrecommends renewing the ordinance without modifications.

WASHINGTON, RENEWING A SIX -MONTH MORATORIUM ON
ACCEPTANCE OF APPLICATIONS FOR CERTAIN LAND DIVISIONS,
AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES AND LAND USES WITHIN THE
AREA DESIGNATED FOR TRANSIT- ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT
AROUND THE TEMPORARY COMMUTER RAII/AMTRAK STATION AT
THE LONGACRES SITE; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; DECLARING
AN EMERGENCY; AND ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the City of Tukwila issued an Unclassified Use Permit in 1999 allowing
Sound Transit to construct a temporary station for Sounder conunuter rail and Amtrak
service at the Longacres site, adjacent to the Burlington Northern Railroad; and
WHEREAS, Sounder's Unclassified Use Permit for the temporary station expires in
February 2004, and either the station must be built or permit renewed prior to this date;
and
WHEREAS, the City recognized the unique opportunity to promote a more
compact, mixed -use, pedestrian supportive pattern of development that makes effective
use of its proximity and accessibility to the rail station, and includes a mix of retail,
service, office and residential uses; and
WHEREAS, a more intensive pattern of transit oriented development (TOD) would
assist the City with the redevelopment of the Tukwila Urban Center, one of thirteen
designated urban centers within King County, and provide workers with commercial,
public and recreational services close to where they live or work; and
WHEREAS, a more intensive pattern of TOD would benefit the region by assisting
in achieving Growth Management Act requirements and increasing local and regional
transit ridership; and
WHEREAS, in August 2001, the City held a workshop, inviting other key
stakeholders to explore the possibilities for a TOD in the Longacres area; and
WHEREAS, the workshop resulted in strong support for the project and a "vision"
for land use and transportation in the Longacres TOD area; and
WHEREAS, to implement this vision, the City applied for and was awarded a $1.5
million grant by the Federal Highways Administration to prepare a master plan for the
Longacres area, identifying land use, urban design and transportation /circulation
objectives, as well as to prepare implementing ordinances and design guidelines,
complete environmental review of the plan and designate it as a planned action, and
integrate the design of the permanent commuter rail /Amtrak station; and
WHEREAS, while the City anticipates the TOD master plan project to be completed
by the end of 2003, some issues need to be addressed immediately in order for the TOD
project to be successful; and
WHEREAS, the "Tukwila Urban Center" zoning district allows for a variety of
high- intensity regional uses in the TOD planning area, including light industry and
TOD Moratorium Renewal 8/1/03 1
warehousing, some of which may not be of an-ter. :ate type, density or character to
support the intent of a TOD; and
WHEREAS, the City has already received a proposal for development within the
TOD planning area that would have been inconsistent with the stated vision for the
TOD and threaten the successful implementation of the TOD master plan, and
WHEREAS, the Longacres site is considered one of the region's key opportunities
for TOD, primarily due to the Iarge amount of vacant and redevelopable land
surrounding the station; and
WHEREAS, any significant amount of new development occurring prior to the
establishment of a desired pattern of uses in the TOD master plan could jeopardize the
City's ability to implement the TOD plan; and
WHEREAS, the City's Municipal Code allows for the division of land and
adjustment of boundary lines that, if allowed to occur in the TOD planning area, would
make future land assemblage for a TOD project difficult and costly, and threaten the
successful implementation of the TOD master plan; and
WHEREAS, within the TOD planning area, the City desires to take immediate steps
to preserve the land available for development or redevelopment, and restrict land uses
that do not implement the vision for the area until the master plan and environmental
review for the TOD at the Longacres site are completed, certain implementing zoning
regulations are adopted by the City, and other related regional transportation
infrastructure issues are decided; and
WHEREAS, the City also desires to ensure public input on these issues; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to preserve the status quo for the protection of the
health, safety and welfare of City residents, as it relates to development in Tukwila,
until these matters are more fully considered and, therefore, has determined that an
emergency exists; and

activities within the transit oriented development (TOD) planning area
Background
To date, Council has adopted two six-month moratoriums on the acceptance of applications for
certain land divisions, and development activities and land uses within the area designated for
transit-oriented development (TOD) around the t~mporary commuter rail/Amtrak station at
Longacms (see Figure I). The first Ordinance (No. 1996) was adopted in September 2002. When
it expired in March, 2003, Council adopted Ordinance No. 2014, allowing more interim use of
properties during this planning period., while maintaining a moratorium on activities and uses that
would have significant long-term impacts on the ability to successfully develop a TOD.
Ordinance No~ 2014 will eXPire August 30, 2003. Council. must decide whether to hold a public
heating and renew the ordinance or let the moratorium lapse. Plann'mg for the TOD area is
underway, and there is still a need for keeping the moratorium in place until a master plan for the
area is in place. Staff is recommending renewing the current ordinance without modifications.

Update on the TOD Plan
In the fall of 2002, the City received a $1.5 million federal grant to prepare a TOD master plan
for the Longacres area, identifying land use, urban design and transportation/circulation
objectives. These grant funds will also be used to complete the Tukwila urban center (TUC) plan
and incorporate the TOD plan in the overall plans for the TUC.
Since passage of the moratorium:
· A series of four workshops and stakeholder meetings are currently underway. The consultant
team, based on workshop results, will prepare a future land use and capital improvement
scenario for the TOD area.
· This plan will be folded into the Overall Tukwila Urban Center (TUC) Plan. The TUc pian
and TOD subarea plan are anticipated to be completed and ready for the adoption process
early 2004.
Options
1. Council renews the Ordinance. Its provisions ~re the same as the current Ordinance No. 2014,
without modifications. It remains in effect for six months, at the end of which Council must hold
another public hearing and renew, modify, or repeal the moratorium.
2. Council modifies the Ordinance. It remains in effect for six months, at the end of which
Council must hold another public heating and either renew, modify, or repeal the moratorium.
3. Council allows the Ordinance to lapse. Land divisions, development activities and land uses
will occur in the area as allowed under the City's zoning. Planning and implementation ora TOD
and other transportation improvements may be more difficult.
Proposed Next Steps
There is still a need for keeping the existing ordinance in place until a land use/transportation
f*amework is adopted. Staff recommends renewing the ordinance without modifications.
Attached is a copy of the ordinance.
1. Forward the Ordinance as written or amended to the Council for a public hearing at their

NOTICE OF pUBLIC HEARING
July 24, 2003
Dear Sir or Madam:
The Tukwila City Council is considering renewing Ordinance No. 2014 establishing a temporary
moratorium on certain land divisions, and development activities and land uses within the area
designated for Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) around the temporary commuter
rail/Amtrak station at Longacres (see Figure 1). According to City records, your property or
business may be affected by this moratorium. Consequently, we wanted to notify you of the
public hearing on this ordinance scheduled for Monday, August 11, 2003, at 7:00 p.m. in
Council Chambers, located in Tukwila City Hall, 6200 Southcenter Blvd.
The moratorium is intended to preserve land available for development or redevelopment and
restrict land uses that do not implement the vision for the area until land use and transportation
plans and regulations supporting the' TOD are in place.
Within the TOD area, the current ordinance:
· Prohibits the filing of all permits and approvals related to:
· land divisions
· such uses or aetivit'les as manufacturing, industrial & auto-oriented businesses.
· Exempts the filing of and approvals related to:
The expansion of existing businesses on existing lots.
Sign permits and building permit~ for tenant improvements.
· Allows the filing of approvals related to:
All other uses currently allowed under TUC (Tukwila Urban Center) zoning which
support and implement the vision for 'the area, including those that are easily
redevelopable such as auto sales lots, contractor or storage yards, or commercial
parking.
The current Ordinance, No. 2014, expires August 30, 2003. Council must hold a public hearing
and decide whether to renew the ordinance or let the moratorium lapse. Planning for the TOD
area is underway, and there is still a need for keeping the moratorium in place until a master plan
for the area is in place. Staff is recommending renewing the current ordinance without
modifications.

Present: Joan Hernandez, Chair; Jim Haggerton, Joe Duffle
Steve Lancaster; Bruce Fletcher, Rhonda Berry, Lucy Lauterbach; Dennis
Robertson
1. New Half Time Position Since the pool has opened, it has increased greatly in use. That has
resulted in more hours of maintenance being needed, and it is the aquatic staffwho do their own
maintenance. Bruce also pointed out that both the 50 acre'Fort Dent Park and skateboard park
have been added to park maintenance staff's workload when they have not increased in staff.
Bruce proposed increasing one Facilities Operation Technician position from its current half time
status to full time. One quarter of a position would be used for more pool maintenance, and one
quarter would be used for more park maintenance. The half time increase would cost $18,000
plus $4,000 in benefits, totaling $23,000. He proposed the increased pool fees and rental fees
from Fort Dent's one city field there paying for the increase. So far pool revenues are higher
than originally projected. Jim said if the city has.enough staffto do a better job we can perhaps
charge higher pool fees than the average. The committee agreed the original fee schedule, and
one with slightly higher fees be brought to the COW when this position increase is taken there.
.lim said since not every department can charge for its services we'll need to look harder where
we eau charge for service. Recommend position increase to COW.
2. TOD moratorium Steve reminded the committee that the city has passed two six-month
moratoriums on the TOD area. The second one loosened its applicability and allowed many
current uses there tO expand or change, or change s~gus. Auto dependent uses, land divisions, and
manufacturing and industrial uses are under the moratorium. The current moratorium expires
August 30t~, so a new one would be in effect September 1st to the end of February. When asked,
Steve said the current businesses largely support the planning effort that is ongoing now. Joan
asked how many times a moratorium could be renewed, and Was told it isn't limited. Steve said
he hoped.the TOD study would be finished by the time a new moratorium expired; he thought it
would be in process at the Planning Commission or at the Council by then. As meeting time was
short, he recommended Lynn Miranda brief the committee on what staffhave learned at their
workshops ~d public meetings. Steve pointed out on a map who owned what land in the TOD.
A public hearing will be needed, and Steve will brief the Council at the hearing on August 11t~.
Recommend extending moratorium to COW.
3. Countywide Planning Policies Steve explained the 1990 Growth Management Act set up
procedures for adopting countywide planning policies. That was done in 1992; and is being done
again now. Ratification by 30% of the cities/county in King County, representing 70% of the
county's population, is needed.
Steve said the most important policy for Tukwila was the one that changed our housing and job
market targets for the next twenty years. When the targets were first set, they relied on PSRC
numbers and were higher than could be achieved. The new numbers are more realistic, and

INFORMATION MEMO
TO: Mayor Mullet
FROM: Public Works Directo~''~
DATE: July 31, 2003
SUBJECT: Wet-Floodproofing Variance - Starfire Maintenance and
Concession Facility
ISSUE
Provide a variance to Flood Ordinance No. 1462 to allow Wet-Floodproofmg of the
Starflre Maintenance and Concession Facility within Fort Dent Park.
BACKGROUND
The City of Tukwila participates in the National Flood Insurance Program. This
program requires the City to adoPt floodplain management standards and a floodplain
construction permit process to ensure that all new development and redevelopment
within flood ha?ord areas meets federal standards. These new standards stipulate that
when development is proposed within a flood hazard area, the base flood elevation may
not be increased and that all structures must either be elevat~l or flood-proofed one foot
above the base flood elevation. Floodproofing is not allowed for residential
constmcfion.
The FEMA standard for floodproofing is a method known as dry-floodproofing. Dry-
floodproofing requires that the structure is watertight one foot above the base flood
elevation and prevents the inundation of floodwaters into the structure. Wet-
floodproofing is allowed for certain situations and is accomplished by letting
floodwaters inundate the structure. The structure is consU'ucted of materials that will
not be damaged by floodwaters to an elevation one foot above the base flood elevation.
All materials subject to damage must be located above thi.q elevation. Since wet-
floodproofing is not the standard established by FEMA or included in our City
Ordinance, a variance must be issued.
ANALYSIS
City staff has reviewed FEMA guidelines, the City's Flood Ordinance, and sought
guidance from the Department of Ecology who administers flood control issues for
FEMA, and determined that wet-floodproofing is permitted under limited situations.
These situations are:
Mayor Mullet
Page 2
July 31, 2003
· The applicant desires to wet-floodproof.
· Notification to the applicant that a variance will not alter the actuarial rating of a
structure for flood insurance purposes.
· That a lesser degree of floodproofmg will not subvert the goals of flood plain
management.
· That the structure must be protected to the maximin extent possible using an
appropriate alternative flood protection technique.
· Providing dry-floodproofmg would cause an exceptional hardship.
· A variance is obtained permitting this method.
The Starfire Maintenance and Concession Facility is a building containing restrooms, a
concession area, and storage area. The facility is proposed to be located within an area
that is well below the base flood elevation. Starfire proposes to wet-floodproof this
structure by allowing floodwaters to enter the structure. If the variance is approved,
the City will impose an additional requirement for Starfire to install a manual valve to
protect the sewer system from being inundated.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that a variance be granted to the City's Flood Ordinance No. 1462
to allow wet-floodproofmg of the Starfire Maintenance and Concession Facility.
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 MAINTENANCE/ CONCESSION FACILITY.
WHEREAS, the City of Tukwila has entered into an agreement with Starfire Sports to develop
and operate park, athletic, recreation and associated facilities at the Fort Dent Park; and
WHEREAS, portions of Fort Dent Park are within the Green River floodplain; and
WHEREAS, the City of Tukwila participates in the National Flood Insurance Program and this
program requires the City to adopt floodplain management standards and a floodplain construction
permit process; and
WHEREAS, the proposed Maintenance /Concession Facility does not meet the federal
standards for floodplain construction in accordance with Chapter 16.52 of the Tukwila Municipal
Code, dry floodproofing methods must be used; and
WHEREAS, Starfire Sports has requested a variance that would allow for wet floodproofing of
the Maintenance /Concession Facility, an acceptable alternative under limited situations; and
WHEREAS, The City of Tukwila has adopted the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Flood
Proofing Regulations, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Floodproofing
Standards, and the Federal Insurance Administration (FIA) Regulations which allow the City to
grant wet floodproofing variances to those standards and requirements if certain criteria are met as
found in FIA Section 1910.6(a) of FIA Regulations; and
WHEREAS, the proposed Starfire construction meets all of the FEMA wet- floodproofing
variance criteria, to wit: wet floodproofing will not alter the actuarial rating of the
Maintenance /Concession Facility for flood insurance purposes, will not subvert the goals of flood
plain management, the Maintenance /Concession Facility will have all of its components subject to
flood damage at least one foot above the base flood elevation, and the federal standard (dry-
floodproofing) would cause an exceptional financial hardship;
NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON,
DO HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The above Whereas recitals are herein adopted as findings of fact.
Section 2. The Public Works Department is hereby authorized to grant a flood zone permit
allowing for wet- floodproofing of the Starfire Maintenance /Concession Facility. Wet floodproofing
shall be an administrative variance to Tukwila Municipal Code 16.52 due to the compelling public
policy reasons stated above.

1. 2003 Small Drainage Program Bid Award The 2003 project includes five projects and one
alternative. Of six bids, the lowest was from DL Asahara for $279,519.44. The additive could
not be afforded at this time so is not included. References were somewhat inconclusive, as the
company references(which were good) were for landscaping and irrigation, not drainage work.
The engineer's base bid was $310,000, so the committee recoramanded project award. Award
~msll drainage project award to DL Asahara at a Regular Meeting.
2. Infiltration and Inflow 2003 Manhole Repairs In March the City contracted with Pivetta
Brothers for work on three manhole repairs and related work. There was one change order. The
project final cost was $47,749.35. The work is complete. Recommend contract acceptance and
release of retainage to Regular Meeting consent agenda.
3. Cascade Water Alliance After analyzing the cost of buying water from Seattle in the future
versus what it might cost from Cascade Water Alliance, Public Works recommended proceeding
with Cascade Water. They estimated that their costs would be lower than Seattle's for the next
47 years. It's very difficult to estimate future costs and supply, but staff was confident CWA
(Cascade) will be ahead in the long run. The committee said they trusted staffs analysis.
Recommend staying the current course with Cascade.
4. Sewer Utili .ty Rates Tukwila has not raised sewer rates since 1996, and in the past year or
two has had to dip into the reserve account to pay for maintenance and operations (M & O).
Metru's portion of the sewer bill is $23.40, while the city portion of the bill is $5. Tukwila's
sewer charges are lower than other valley cities and districts. Staff recommended raising the
$28.40 rate by $2.00. The Committee was concerned whether even that would cover all the
sewer needs for M & O. We've used up half the reserve in paying maintenance costs. The water
and sewer pipes in the CBD were all installed in the 1960's and will all need replacing in the
next few years. The committee wanted to look at rates if not next year then at least in two more
years. They pointed out the City has merely passed on Metro cost increases in recent years, and
has absorbed some costs. Recommend sewer rate increase to COW.
~1~5. Wet-Floodproofing Variance Though the main building at Starflre has been taken care of
for floodprooding, the concessionaire and restrooms have not. Staffrecommended granting them
a variance for being in the floodplain. The committee members agreed that if the insurance was
ok with it, the City could be. Jim assured them a hold harmless motion would be included, as
well as a requirement for a manual shut offof the sewage system in the event of a flood. Joan
asked who would shut it off at 2 am. Jim said he would work with Starfire to resolve issues like
that. Recommend variance.

Agenda Item Title: Cascade Water Alliance Supply Contract and Costs
Original Sponsor: Council Admin. Public Works
Timeline:
Sponsor's Summary: Cascade Water Alliance recently completed contract negotiations to purchase a wholesale
block of water from the City of Seattle. A 50-year declining block water supply agreement
will need approval by the City of Seattle and CWA members before the next CWA board
meeting in mid-August. Tukwila has purchased a consistent block of water over the last 10
years and no major growth is anticipated. Overall, costs with CWA are projected to be lower
than Seattle. An exit clause is available to withdraw from CWA.

INFORMATION MEMO
To: Mayor Mullet
From: Public Works Directo~fi)
Date: July 29, 2003
Subject: Cascade Water Alliance Suoolv Contract and Costs
ISSUE
CWA has recently completed contract negotiations to purchase a wholesale block of water
from the City of Seattle. This paper will explore the costs associated with the new contract.
BACKGROUND
Cascade has essentially completed negotiation of a long-term water supply agreement with the
City of Seattle. It is anticipated that the 50-Year Declining Block Water Supply Agreement
(the Block Contract) will be presented m the Cas6ade Board and Seattle City Council for
review and approval in August 2003. This agreement is the culmination of more than three
Years of negotiations and provides for the purchase of water and transmission capacity that will
meet the needs of Cascade members in the immediate future.
A model has been put together comparing costs between members of CWA and those such as
Water District 125 who are on the direct service contract (see attached). Rates through the
block contract will be lower than the full service contract initially but will rise by 2020 due to
the new supply and water treatment plant work at Lake Tapps.
So what are the real issues for Tukwila to be supplied with water? Growth has not been a big
factor for Tukwila over the last ten years (see consumption figures on attached). Tuk~ila's
proportionate share of a block of water has remained fairly constant where conservation efforts
have balanced the effect of new connections. Thus, what is the comparison of cost between the
two for an average water customer? Those figures are listed in the attached. The cost for
water commodity is cheaper in the CWA Block Contract in the near term.
The contract has an exit clause that would allow a member who was previously a Seattle
Wholesale customer to withdraw from Cascade if they' choose. The Cascade Block will be
decreased proportionately by the mount of allocated water to that member.
RECOMMENDATION
Forward to Council to authorize Jim Haggerton to vote in support of the CWA block contract
on water supply.

Subject: Animal Control Interloeal
During committee discussions last year regarding amendments to Tukwila's animal control
ordinance, King County informed of us it's intent to request an increase in the hourly rate for
enhanced animal control services. The interlocal with the County provides for 12 hours of
enhanced service per week at the rate of $28. This rate has been in effect since the inception of
the interlocal in 1994 even though the interlocal allows for rate increases annually.
This year, the County would like to bill at a $60 per hour rate, which is purported to be the
actual cost of providing this service. They had hoped to begin billing at the new rate effective
January of this year, but have agreed to make the new rate effective July 1, 2003. The proposed
amendment also includes measures to increase Animal Control's accountability to the City.
Finance and Safety Committee members discussed these accountability measures as a way to
also analyze the need for enhanced services.
In 2002, the enhanced services allowed the City to deal with some particularly troubling
problems with animals in neighborhoods throughout Tukwila. This year has been fairly quiet,
with problematic "animals" being those outside the purview of Animal Control such as raccoons,
crows and rodents.

1. V-Net Seizure Fund Tukwila handles money for the V-Net group, which is composed of
members from King County Sheriff, State Patrol, and police departments from Tukwila. R. enton,
Kent, and Auburn. Funds from drug seizures have built '~p, and the group has agreed to disburse
some of that fund back to cities so they can spend it for law enforcement purposes. There are
restrictions on what some of the seizure funds can be spent on. Of the $343,674.29 total in the
fund, $240,000 will be divided among the six members for $40,000 each. David said the Chief's
priority for Tukwila right now is in-car cameras for the police vehicles, but the final decision will
be brought to Council. Jim asked if this would affect city finances. Alan said the V-Net funds are
a separate line item, with funds for that going in and out of that line item only, so it does not
affect city finances. Recommend Council motion to allow expenditure of V-Net funds to
iember organizations' . '
· Interloeal'Agreement w~th Animal Control The committee had spent time considering
imal control services in the City, and had some questions about its need and efficacy. King
ounty wants to increase their fee for expanded service, which has not changed since 1994. The
rate will rise from $28/hour to$60/hour. Though they wanted the new rate to start in January, a
compromise to start it July 1 was reached. Jim noted some reservations about increasing our
costs so greatly when we are in a budget crunch. The question of whether we need additional
service was again broached and discussed briefly. Rhonda, J'oe and Lucy agreed Animal Control
has been seen more in the community in recent months. If we did not have an agreement for
expanded service, they would not patrol in the City, but would only respond to specific calls for
service, as they do everywhere else in the County. The last six months of 2003 will be a good
test of how useful the service is. Recommend interlocal agreement to COW.
3. Second Quarter Reports The Committee reviewed the police and fire portions of the reports.
J'oe asked why Station 52 was painted off-white, and was told that was the choice of the three
shifts who work there from the selections Tom Pulford gave. Nick pointed out some areas wI~ere
no progress has bees made on fire prevention-goals, and said it was because of staffing shortages
caused by a lieutenant responsible for that, being out on medical leave for some time. He may
return shortly, however. There are 60 uniformed fire persormel and 4 civilian workers. Asked
about a strategic plan, Nick said they will be updating the plan. He gave an example of a
National Fire Prevention Association rule that was now in the plan that he thought should be
used as a goal, not a rule. The bees at Station 53 are stili there, but since the original bee person
apparently died, Paul Gully has promised to help remove them to another place.
Dave Haynes talked about the Southcenter incident. Since it happened, police have talked to the
mother who reported it, and to Mall security. The Mall wants to be vigilant about keeping
inappropriate activity out of the Mall. Dave passed a card the Mall has that addresses
inappropriate behavior that is banned. Police will continue to follow the issue up. Rhonda noted
that kids at both Southcenter and at BelSquare dress similarly, and hang out in groups. The

Alan Doerschel, Finance Director, reported the current banking services agreement with U. S, Bank
explres on May 31, 2003. Alter requesting and reviewing bids from four local banks, Hr, Doerschel spoke
in favor of retaining the services of U. $. Bank. His decision is based on the lowest cost (of the bids) as
well as the existence of an excellent working relationship between the City and the bank. Said
relationship has existed for 12+ years,
With monthly service costs (banking and merchant) of $24,928.00, and eamlngs credits of $27,500.00;
the City receives a net monthly earning In the amount of $2,572.00, The proposed agreement includes

Alan Doerschel, Finance Director, reported the need to revise the bond issue to reflect a different
distribution. Resolution 1514~ approved In February, 2003 called for the Tukwlla Village project
completion to be funded by an upcoming bond issue. This amount ($3.9 million) however, is considered
taxable due to the fact a pr'rvate developer (Sabey Corp.) will be the ulUmate benefactor.
To save Tukwila more than $500,000.00 in debt service costs over the life of the bonds, the City must do
a supplanting effort. This will be done in the same fashion as that of the bond purchase for the building
located at 6300 Southcenter Boulevard.
Bond funds will be used for three Items:
3.. Repair and overlay;
2. South 144~ StTeet project;, and
3. Tukwlla International Boulevard project.
Cash funds available for these projects will bo-allocated for the Tukwila Village property purchases (yet

Nr. Doerschel noted preparation of a proposed budget amendment as well as presentation at the 3une 2
Rnance and Safety Committee meeting. From there, the proposed amendment would go to a Committee

City Council Committee of Whole Hinu~es May 27, 2003
Normally invoicing the City on a quarterly basis, King County has not yet prepared/sen~ an invoice for
2003, as there has been no decision on the City's acceptance of the newly proposed rate. Noteworthy,
animal control calls for service rose to 21,000 in 2002.
Alter discussion and review of= the item at the Finance and Safeb/ committee, members proposed
agreement to the Increased rate for six months of 2003, from .3uly :t - December 31. in those six
months, It Is proposed the City would assess whether or not the service warrants extra patrol hours
(beyond the 12 In the agreement).
Discussion ensued with most agreeing on the need for a greater degree of accountebillty from the
County. Currently, the City receives a monthly calendar which shows the number of hours worked per
week~ etc. with no notation as to detail on types of calls, areas pabolled, or services performed. Said
items are sought to be Included in a refined invoice from King County. Additionally, Council spoke in
favor of receiving a "schedule In advance" of service Informing staff/Council when particular areas will be
patrolled, etc.
Coundlmembers agreed the proposed l[nterlocal services agreement does not meet the needs of the City
and requires additional work. Mayor Mullet ~eported staff would conUnue to refine the proposed
Znterlocal agreement and return to Council when It has been completed.

Re: V-Net Seizure Fund
Tukwila has fiduciary control of the Valley Narcotics Enforcement Team (V-
Net) funds. Because their federal funds have grown, the Chiefs have
recommended each of the six organizations in V-Net be allowed to split
part of the $343,674.29 balance in the federal seizure account, for about
$40,000 each. The partners in V-Net are the State Patrol, King County
Sheriff, and the cities of Tukwila, Renton, Kent, and Auburn.
A formal motion to allow this expenditure of reimbursing the funds is
needed. It is in essence a budget expenditure of the V-Net fund.

Patrol, and Police Departments from Tukwila, Renton, Kent and Auburn. Funds from
drag seizures have built up, and the group has agreed to disburse some of that fund
back to the cities so they can spend it for law enforcement purposes. There are
restrictions on what these seizure funds can be spent on. Of the $343,674.29 total in
the fund, $240,000 will be divided among the six members for $40,000 each. Dave
said the Chief's priority for Tukwila right now is in-car cameras for the police
vehicles, but the final decision will be brought to Council. Jim asked if this would
affect city finances. Alan said the V-Net funds are a separate line item, with funds for
that going in and out of that line item only, so it does not affect City finances.
Recommend Council motion to allow disbursement of V-Net funds to member
organizations.
2. Interlocal Agreement with Animal Control. The Committoc had spent time
considering animal control services in the City, and had some questions about its need
and efficacy. King County wants to increase their fee for expanded service, which
has not changed since 1994. The rate will rise from $28/hour to $60/hour. Though
they wanted the new rate to start in January, a compromise to start it July 1 has been
reached. Jim noted some reservations about increasing our costs so greatly when we
are in a budget crunch. The question of whether we need additional service was again
broached and discussed briefly. Rhonda, Joe and Lucy agreed Animal Control has
been seen more in the community in recent months. If we did not have an agreement
for expanded service, they would not patrol in the City, but would only respond to
specific calls for services, as they do everywhere else in the County. The last six
months of 2003 will be a good test of how useful the service is. Recommend
Interloeal agreement to COW. -
3. Second Quarter Reports. The Committee reviewed the police and fire portions of
the reports. Joe asked why Station 52 was painted off-white, and was told that was
the choice of the three shifts that work there from the selections given by the project
manager. Nick pointed out some areas where no progress has been made on fire
prevention goals, and said it was because of staffing shortages caused by a lieutenant
out on medical leave who will hopefully be returning shortly. There are 60
uniformed frre personnel and 4 civilian workers. Asked about a strategic plan, Nick
said they would be updating the plan. He gave an example ora National Fire
Prevention Association rule that was now in the plan that he thought should be used
as a goal, not a role. The bees at Station 53 are still there, but since the original bee
person died, Paul Gully has promised to help remove them to another location.

8/11/03 Memo to City Council - Connectivity
Memo to City Council- Tukwila Village
To: Tukwila City Council
From: Mayor Steve Mullet
Date: August 5, 2003
Subject: Connectivity Update
The contract with David Luman (Asset Analytics) has expired as of July 31, 2003. We
have made significant progress toward a final decision to build the infrastructure
necessary to have a citywide connectivity program.
I am proposing that the City continue examining the feasibility of completing this project.
This will require two concurrent efforts to be done by year-end 2003.
°7° Extend David Luman's contract until December 2003 at a rate of $165 per
hour. See attached scope of work.
· .'o Fund design and Engineering System design of the entire City. This effort
would provide both an estimated cost to build the infrastructure necessary
to bring connectivity to every business and home in the City and have the
specific actions necessary to go out for bid in 2004.
The estimated additional cost to accomplish these goals by December 2003 will be
between $80,000.00 and $90,000.00. We can discuss in more detail the progress made so
far and the plan for the future at the August 11, 2003 meeting.
