Asset Analytics in conjunction with Public Works, will brief the Council on the proposed
deployment of theTukwila Fiber Network (TFN). TFN will provide all Tukwila residents and
businesses with access to extremely high -speed connectivity. The objective of the
presentation is to provide an update of the connectivity project including network design, and
projected deployment costs and seek Council's approval to move forward with the the actual
TFN deployment.

INFORMATION MEMO
AAI in conjunction with the Mayor and Public Works, will provide an update presentation with
respect to deploying the Tukwila Fiber Network (TFN). The Network will provide all Tukwila
residents and businesses with access to extremely high speed (gigabit Ethernet) connectivity and
third party telecommunications services. The objective of the presentation is to provide an update,
answer any questions, and seek Council's approval to move forward with the actual deployment
of the Network.
The City has been investigating the feasibility of implementing one of its economic development
goals, that of making available gigabit Ethernet bandwidth to all Tukwila citizens and businesses.
Specifically, in its 2001 long range economic development plan, the City and Council agreed to
"take action to become the first City on the Earth to guarantee gigabit Ethernet availability at
every address in the City, and every classroom of every school as well as at Internet kiosks in
public places." For perspective, DSL broadband speeds can reach around 1.0 megabits per
second (Mbps) of speed roughly 17 times the speed of a fast 56k dial up modem. Gigabit
Ethernet is roughly 1000 times that of DSL.
To date, we have been engaged on two fronts. The first has been to prepare the City's network
infrastructure. This entailed designing the fiber network and identifying the components required
to create and operate the TFN. The second has been to quantify the costs involved with such an
endeavor, solidify the ability to finance the construction and recapture the capital outlay over
time.
DISCUSSION
Since we last met, a number of tasks have been completed to bring Tukwila's Fiber Network
project to a point where the Council can decide to take steps to move forward toward completion
of the initial phase of the system in 2004. In the last twelve months, both businesses and residents
of the City have been polled for interest in the City undertaking this course of action, as well as to
gauge potential customers of the completed network. Most individually surveyed residents and
businesses were supportive of the project and indicated they were likely to be customers. Over
40% of businesses and residents were extremely positive about becoming a customer, others were
very likely to become customers.
The system is financially structured to pay for itself over the life of a 20 -year bond see
Attachment 1 TFN Business Case). The poll numbers indicate there is sufficient interest to
make the financial model work. Other areas of the Northwest, such as Grant County in
16004 Tualatin Sherwood Rd. Suite 505 Sherwood, OR 97140

Washington and Provo in Utah are actually experiencing the same rates of conversion and more
in some cases.
An initial network has been designed (see Attachments 2 -3) to be able to connect every residence
and business in the City should they choose to become a customer. From this design, a Bill of
Materials (see Attachment 4 Expected TFN Cost Breakdown) was created listing all the labor
and materials required for completing the Network. AAI went to vendors and obtained general
pricing for network materials such as fiber, conduit, electronics etc, as well as labor prices for
such items as trenching, boring and fiber splicing.
In summary, we have a network design, a conservative expected cost estimate, interest in the City
moving forward and a method to fund the project.
RECOMMENDATION
Present to Council for questions, guidance, and decision to approve /disapprove the project.

ISSUE
The current contract with Asset Analytics (David Luman) has expired and needs to be
renewed to accommodate expanded scope of work.
BACKGROUND
INFORMATION MEMO
The City has entered into an agreement with Asset Analytics to achieve City's goal of
deploying a metropolitan area network and providing gigabit Ethernet connectivity to
Tukwila citizens and businesses. The Contract expired on November 30, 2003.
DISCUSSION
The contract between the City and Asset Analytics was approved in January 2002.
Since the approval of the basic contract, five amendments have been executed. These
amendments allowed critical tasks associated with the connectivity initiative to be
accomplished. Through the efforts of Asset Analytics, the connectivity project has
reached a significant milestone. The City's conduit system has been audited and
proofed, the network design has been completed, and the Bill of Materials has been
developed.
On January 20, 2004, the Council will be briefed on the network design, and the
proposed deployment of the Tukwila Fiber Network. They will be provided with
critical information that they will need to make an informed go /no -go decision.
Council's decision to move forward with the project will require renewal of the Asset
Analytics contract.
The new contract (Attachment 1) has been crafted to accommodate Council's decision.
The contract would be in full force and effect from December 1, 2003, to June 30,
2004. If Council chooses not to proceed with the project, the contract could be
terminated sooner.

Subject: Tukwila Library
Background
Beforel 992, the City had made an Agreement that the City would pay the Library assessment
that would have been made on its citizens. In 1997 that rate resulted in a cost of about $28,000.
The city rate was to be the same rate other Library System members paid.
In 1982 a new agreement stated the City would pay the same tax rate as library members who
lived in unincorporated King County. That agreement states the City will pay the lesser of the
per capita rate for residents, or a 106% limit increase in property tax receipts (plus new
construction and annexations) over the past year. Tukwila Library hours were stated as not less
than 25 hours per week, with the District furnishing "all library supplies, materials, (books, etc.)
staffing and supervision The City paid the District directly through 1992 rather than assessing
citizens the cost.
In March, 1992 residents voted to join the Library System. As most of the residents had recently
annexed to Tukwila, they were accustomed to paying a library tax as unincorporated citizens.
This was an important change in the City, and to ease the transition, the City reached an
agreement with the library in a new interlocal in late 1991. At that time Foster library was open
in the small outbuilding on the Foster High School property. The Agreement assessed the city the
library fee equal to the City's last year of payment of $564,021. It also agreed to build a new
Foster Library. The Tukwila Library was to be maintained at a minimum of "current service
levels That term can be interpreted in more than one way.
Library hours at Tukwila Library have been shortened from 31 hours per week to 20 hours. The
collection has been removed, though books can be ordered and picked up there. The Library
District gave a figure of 2003 operations including the collection (books, magazines etc) and
staffing of Tukwila as $381,000. Foster Library costs $841,000. The District assessed property
taxes of .54568 per thousand on Tukwila's 2003 assessed valuation for an amount of roughly
$1.861 million.
In a meeting with the City January 14, 2004 Bill Ptacek and two members of the Library System
spoke of how little use Tukwila Library gets. They said only school kids come in after school,
with some families using the library on Saturdays. They admitted that the collection there was
old and was not used by adults.
One of the things they will do besides offering children's and after school programs, is to offer
an adult "Choice Reading" section with popular books offered for adults. Otherwise their plan is
to change it into a library directed at children from pre school through high school.
There are still some unresolved issues, including how people who go to the programs now
offered at Foster will be able to access those programs at the Tukwila library. The Library is
adamant about changing programs at Tukwila, as the circulation numbers there are so poor and
so few people use it. The point was made at the meeting of the need for the Tukwila Library to
advertise their presence more to citizens in their neighborhood, to those who might drive on S.
144` and to those who go to the library. The Library had thought they communicated with the
City through the Library Board, but they understand more communications with the City are
needed to avoid this kind of upset in the future.

LIBRARY
On January 1, 2004, the Tukwila Library's focus and open hours changed. The Library's new focus is in service
to children and is open 20 hours weekly, reduced from thirty-six. In addition to those open hours, several
Family Place programs will take place while the Library is closed to enhance the experience for those attending.
Several factors converged to make the decision to reduce Tukwila Library's open hours and change its service
focus. As a full service library, Tukwila was one of the least used in the King County Library System with a cost
per check -out of $10.90. In contrast, Burien's per transaction cost is $5.07 and Foster's is $8.03.
Tukwila Library's use was limited primarily to after school visits by children to use computers, read and do
homework and averaged about 15 kids daily. Weekday mornings and evenings had very little traffic, usually 5
visitors or fewer. Saturday was busier with families visiting together, averaging about 25 people. Children's
story times were never successful at Tukwila with little or no attendance and were discontinued several years
ago.
At the same time, the use at Foster Library was growing past the ability of that staff to provide appropriate
service. The Family Place grant program was popular with growing attendance but was taking more space than
the Library could continue to offer. Staff changes made it impossible to continue to open the Library on Friday
nights for grant programs.
The Tukwila facility seemed a perfect spot to develop a children's library, thereby acknowledging the primary
users of that building, and to move the Family Place program there to have adequate dedicated space and be
able to continue the evening programs.
KCLS is revamping the interior with new carpet, furniture and computers scaled for children; a colorful play
space with oversized stuffed animals and a new collection of popular titles for adults at the Library with their
children. Informally, the City has agreed to address some of the physical issues with the building.
Bottom line considerations:
Foster Library had growing use creating a critical shortage of staff to serve the residents using that
building and maintain its 56 open hours weekly.
The Family Place grant program had outgrown the Foster meeting room space originally dedicated to
the program and spilled over into all areas of the Library, with considerable crowding and confusion.
Staff changes made it impossible to continue the Friday night Family Place programs. The program
would have to be scaled back both in space and evening programs.
Tukwila Library was not-being used sufficiently to warrant the number of staff needed to keep it open
36 hours weekly.
Therefore:
Best use of resources dictated the switch of staff to Foster Library with commensurate open hours
reduction at Tukwila Library.
Continuation of The Family Place grant program hinged on moving it to the Tukwila Library.
Re- focusing Tukwila Library to serve children in an outstanding way addressed its current users.

of said City are hereby entitled to the same library privileges as are pro-
vided for the residents of said Rural Library District of King County under
the provisions of the library law as found in Chapter 119, Laws of 1935, and
laws amendatory thereof and supplemental thereto.
In consideration of the foregoing agreement on the part of the said Board, the
City hereby agrees to pay to the King County Library District in the year,
1983, and in each year thereafter during the life of this agreement for library

valuation for the service year as ultimately and finally determined by the
highest authority passing thereon. Each year's payment shall be made in two
equal installments to be remitted by the first of June and the fifteenth of

It is further understood that it is present Board policy to recognize the im-

fore, if the application of the following formula results in a lower fee than
the above per capita rate, the contract fee shall reflect the lesser amount.
The formula limits the fee increase to 6% over that of the previous year plus

and annexed properties which become part of the City's tax rolls during the
year the contract is in effect.

mination and, if such notice is not given, this agreement shall be in full
force and effect for the following calendar year and until terminated as
provided herein.

Renewing Moratorium on TOD The moratorium on building in the Transit Oriented
Development area (TOD) has been in place since 2002. Since that time the City has broadened
the uses allowed in the area. The TOD master plan has also made progress, with a series of
meetings to explore future land uses and infrastructure plans. The current moratorium will
expire February 18.
Steve explained that one thing in the ordinance extending the moratorium is an allowance for the
Sound Transit station unclassified use permit to be extended. Staff wants that provision in order
to allow negotiations for the station to proceed. Steve thought they could negotiate a better
permanent station if the permit were not forced to be closed now. The design for the permanent
station is still in flux.
Pam asked about staffing for Sound Transit. Steve said he has had from 1 -1.25 FTE people
working on Sound Transit over the past couple of years. However, as work on permitting is
nearing an end, the next phase will relate more to development and construction, which is why
Public Works is devoting a person to Sound Transit now. Pam asked that he detail that in a short
memo to Council. Recommend moratorium ordinance to COW.
Tukwila Library Rhonda and the mayor have a meeting with Bill Ptacek to discuss changes at
Tukwila Library. Rhonda explained the City had an agreement with the Library District in 1982,
and another interlocal was adopted when citizens assumed the cost of the Library District taxes
in 1991. The later agreement discusses how library services will remain at the same level, which
leads to various interpretation. This item will be on the Council agenda next week. Information.
