DATE: February 12, 2004
RE: City Administrator
Amendment to Ordinance No. 1295
Cc: Mayor Mullet
The City of Tukwila conducted two recruitment processes last year for the City
Administrator position. One of the biggest hurdles that were faced in the process was the
requirement that the candidate(s) live within the Tukwila City limits. In order to provide
more flexibility regarding residency requirements, it is suggested that the existing
Ordinance No. 1295 be amended.
A draft amendment to the ordinance is attached for your review. It includes language
providing a waiver of the residency requirement upon the recommendation of the Mayor
and approval of Council. In addition, there is a minor change, which references wages as
adopted in the annual budget.
I will be available at your meeting if you should have any questions.

1. Council Chamber UnQrades This issue had been to the COW with a request to pare down
the costs, which the engineer's estimate had pegged at $664,000 initially. There was some
confusion about what a basic package would cost, and the item was referred back to committee.
There were sketches of how some new equipment would be placed in the room. The new cost of
all improvements would be $503,000. The Committee talked about implementing only parts of
the plan, or the whole plan. Dennis argued for putting in the bare necessities of the sound system,
which staff emphasized as necessary for various upcoming hearings and cases that will need to
be transcribed if the system is not improved.
Joan said she also wanted to upgrade the audience seating and carpet, and to improve the look of
the whole room, which she said gives a poor impression to visitors. To improve the ability to
plug in power point computers would move the project more toward doing everything, since
once electronics work is started, everything must be torn out and it makes sense to replace things
then. Labor and materials costs are mixed together in part of the proposal, and there is a 25%
increase for all the labor since it must be done outside of normal work hours. There was also
discussion about biting the bullet and upgrading the Chamber once and for all, as no major
upgrades have been done since it was built thirty years ago. Putting band -aid replacements in as
things fall apart could save money now only to cost more later. Both sides of doing little now or
doing everything now were touched on, with no final consensus from the Committee. Refer
issue to COW.
2. City Administrator Position Viki had drafted an ordinance covering the issue of the city
administrator needing to live in the city. A provision was added for the Mayor and Council to be
able to waive this condition if they agreed to do so. The Committee supported the ordinance.
Recommend ordinance to COW.
3. SWKC Chamber Contract Alan said the 2004 contract was similar to last year's contract,
with the same service levels. Joan ensured that Chamber representation on Equity and Diversity
was spelled out. The Committee questioned Service B, which had wording about the Chamber
having information about "City projects, facility, issues and services Alan will check with the
Chamber on that, and instead will perhaps reference the Government Affairs Committee of the
Chamber. Recommend Contract to COW.
"4. Council Travel Policy With the Council's travel budget having been cut in 2004, the
Committee considered ways to deal with it. They agreed there should be justification for all
travel, which explains the proposed benefit the Council member will receive from travel.
Joan proposed what some other cities have done, which is to divide the travel budget among all
the Council members. If each member got a certain amount of money, she/he could plan to use
that funding for a trip. If no more money were available, it could be donated from another
member's "pot" of money if one person did not intend to use it. However, this system would
allow each Council member to travel if he /she wanted to do so. Refer to COW.

To: City Council
From: Lucy Lauterbach
Date: February 19, 2004
Subject: City Council Travel Policy
Plans for travel this year have already been made, and if everyone is careful, we will stay within
our reduced travel budget of $17,000. Some of the past, current and future travel possibilities are
shown on a table on the following page.
Other cities have used a method of ensuring equal opportunities for travel for all Council
members. The Finance and Safety Committee discussed one such plan, and recommended it for
discussion by the full Council
The new proposal which could be implemented for the 2005 budget, would allot each Council
member a certain budget for travel. That budget could be used for travel to a local, state, or
national conference or training. Once that personal travel budget is used, travel would be
curtailed unless another Council member chose not to use his or her budget allotment. In that
case, money could go back into a central travel fund. The funds then could be requested to be
used by another Council member. Criteria for accessing the central travel fund would need to be
written.
This proposal could lead to members attending fewer conferences, and choosing which would be
the most important. It would give each Council member equal access to travel, whether or not
they were on a national committee.
Being unable to attend conferences where a national steering or policy board meeting a Council
member was on, could hamper participation in that area. The importance of maintaining a
presence on national committees could be a factor in supporting this change or not.
The proposed change would be a major change to the way travel is now planned. Currently
members on national committees are given permission to travel as needed to represent
themselves at national meetings. Others who want to travel are generally allowed to do so, as
long as the budget allows. If this change were instituted, travel would not be so automatic or as
often.
Discussion of whether this change would be beneficial or not can include whether the Council
chooses to include using justification forms for travel. These forms could be simple, and include
why the travel was requested and what benefit the city would receive.

Lauterbach
1. Council Chamber Uoerades This issue had been to the COW with a request to pare down
the costs, which the engineer's estimate had pegged at $664,000 initially. There was some
confusion about what a basic package would cost, and the item was referred back to committee.
There were sketches of how some new equipment would be placed in the room. The new cost of
all improvements would be $503,000. The Committee talked about implementing only parts of
the plan, or the whole plan. Dennis argued for putting in the bare necessities of the sound system,
which staff emphasized as necessary for various upcoming hearings and cases that will need to
be transcribed if the system is not improved.
Joan said she also wanted to upgrade the audience seating and carpet, and to improve the look of
the whole room, which she said gives a poor impression to visitors. To improve the ability to
plug in power point computers would move the project more toward doing everything, since
once electronics work is started, everything must be torn out and it makes sense to replace things
then. Labor and materials costs are mixed together in part of the proposal, and there is a 25%
increase for all the labor since it must be done outside of normal work hours. There was also
discussion about biting the bullet and upgrading the Chamber once and for all, as no major
upgrades have been done since it was built thirty years ago. Putting band -aid replacements in as
things fall apart could save money now only to cost more later. Both sides of doing little now or
doing everything now were touched on, with no final consensus from the Committee. Refer
issue to COW.
2. Citv Administrator Position Viki had drafted an ordinance covering the issue of the city
administrator needing to live in the city. A provision was added for the Mayor and Council to be
able to waive this condition if they agreed to do so. The Committee supported the ordinance.
Recommend ordinance to COW.
3. SWKC Chamber Contract Alan said the 2004 contract was similar to last year's contract,
with the same service levels. Joan ensured that Chamber representation on Equity and Diversity
was spelled out. The Committee questioned Service B, which had wording about the Chamber
having information about "City projects, facility, issues and services Alan will check with the
Chamber on that, and instead will perhaps reference the Government Affairs Committee of the
Chamber. Recommend Contract to COW.
4. Council Travel Policy With the Council's travel budget having been cut in 2004, the
Committee considered ways to deal with it. They agreed there should be justification for all
travel, which explains the proposed benefit the Council member will receive from travel.
Joan proposed what some other cities have done, which is to divide the travel budget among all
the Council members. If each member got a certain amount of money, she/he could plan to use
that funding for a trip. If no more money were available, it could be donated from another
member's "pot" of money if one person did not intend to use it. However, this system would
allow each Council member to travel if he /she wanted to do so. Refer to COW.

From. Steve Lancaster
Subject: Proposed Changes to the ACC Interlocal Agreement (ILA)
The ACC Technical Committee has been meeting over the past several months to explore
changes to the ACC ILA that will meet the future needs of the ACC in light of significant
changes in the political and legal environment in the present and near future. The ACC
Executive Committee has reviewed the Technical Committee's recommendations, and
has tentatively approved the attached amended ILA. Below is a summary of what the
attached proposal does to the existing ACC ILA.
The attached proposal seeks to maintain the basic structure and goals of the
existing ACC ILA and, yet, make positive organizational changes that meet the
different future needs of the ACC; fosters and even requires increased
communication and cooperation between the parties.
Increases the size of the ACC Executive Committee by adding the City Manager
or City Administrator (or designee) from each of the parties.
Each City continues to have one vote on the Executive Committee. In the
absence of an elected representative, the City Manager /Chief Administrative
Officer/Designee may vote on member agencies' interests.
Includes language requiring consultation with the parties' Councils and Board on
the annual budget and work program.
There is new language creating the "Administrative Committee" made up of City
Managers and City Administrators (or designees). This Committee shall select a
Chair and vice Chair to coordinate its meetings and establish its agendas. The
Committee will develop a proposed annual budget for the Executive Committee;
work with staff to coordinate an annual ACC retreat; and provide
recommendations as are needed by the Executive Committee.

Language was added that requires the ACC to develop a mitigation proposal that
would meet the varied needs of the parties.
Language was added that encourages meeting with the Port of Seattle to seek to
minimize the impacts upon the ACC communities presently and in the future.
The ACC Executive Committee reviewed the proposed amendments on February 4, 2004
and recommends their approval by the members.
Please note that the attached draft includes lines in the margins indicating areas where
changes from the existing ILA are proposed. One line indicates a minor edit or
clarification. Two lines indicate a new section or substantive change.

DRAFT Executive Committee Version
INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT, AIRPORT COMMUNITIES COALITION
In accordance with the Interlocal Cooperation Act (Revised Code of
Washington, Chapter 39.34) the City of Normandy Park, the City of Des Moines, the
City of Burien, the City of Federal Way, the City of Tukwila, and the Highline School
District (hereafter the "Parties each of which is a Washington Municipal Corporation
hereby enter into the Agreement set forth.
RECITALS
1. The presence and operations of Sea -Tac Airport affect fundamental
economic, social, physical and environmental characteristics of each Party.
2. The Parties believe that the presence of Sea -Tac Airport and other
regional transportation facilities such as Interstates 5 and 405 and State Routes 509
and 518 and eventually a regional transportation rail line can have either negative or
positive effects on the members depending on the manner in which adverse impacts
are addressed.
3. The Parties hereto have expressed their opposition to the
development of a third runway, and other system improvements leading to increased air
traffic at Seattle- Tacoma International Airport and Boeing Field.
4. The Parties further believe that regional public transportation needs
must be resolved on a regional basis and that only equitable solutions to those needs
should be adopted. Additional air traffic at Seattle Tacoma International Airport and
Boeing Field does not constitute equitable or responsible regional solutions. Equitable
solutions are those which recognize that the impacts and the benefits of transportation
projects are often not realized in the same community, therefore necessitating an
attempt to equalize that disparity among affected communities.
5. The Parties believe that a collective effort, including the pooling of
resources and the execution of this Agreement to express and administer policy
matters, is the most effective and expeditious method of achieving the goals stated
herein.
Page 1

DRAFT Executive Committee Version
6. The Parties agree to promote the following goals:
A. To stop the construction of any additional runways at
Seattle- Tacoma International Airport.

associated air quality and temperature controls.
C. To limit or reduce the number of flight operations in King
County, at both Seattle- Tacoma International Airport and at Boeing Field, to a specific
level and to eliminate night flights from 10:30 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.
D. To limit expansion of airport facilities in King County, at
both Seattle- Tacoma International Airport and at Boeing Field, in order to prevent a
significant increase in the number of flight operations which is likely to have substantial,
adverse environmental impacts.
E. To seek revisions to the Four Post Plan, which
accommodate community concerns about overflights, including those which produce
noise in areas outside the 65 dB DNL contour.
F. To develop and promote equitable solutions to regional
transportation needs on a regional basis, working to develop mutually beneficial
partnerships and agreements that promote economic development and protect the
environment.
G. To improve abatement and mitigation of airport impacts on
the Highline School District and member cities to this agreement.
H. To ensure that all past, present and future impacts from
operations at Sea -Tac Airport and Boeing Field are fully mitigated. To support fair
distribution among ACC members of public dollars for the mitigation of impacts from
operations of Sea -Tac Airport and Boeing Field.
I. To participate in efforts to plan effectively, site
appropriately and fully mitigate any regional surface transportation projects including
RTA and extensions or improvements to State Routes 509 and 518, and 1 -5 and 1-405.
J. To create an economic, political and social climate in which
the parties can realize meaningful benefits from being neighbors of Sea -Tac Airport and
Boeing Field and other regional surface transportation facilities which are consistent
with the community objectives of these parties.

INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT, AIRPORT COMMUNITIES COALITION
January 1, 2002 through December 31, 2002
In accordance with the Interlocal Cooperation Act (Revised Code of
Washington, Chapter 39.34) the City of Normandy Park, the City of Des Moines, the
City of Burien, the City of Federal Way, the City of Tukwila, and the Highline School
District (hereafter the "Parties each of which is a Washington Municipal Corporation
hereby enter into the Agreement set forth.
RECITALS
1. The presence and operations of Sea -Tac Airport affect fundamental
economic, social, physical and environmental characteristics of each Party.
2. The Parties believe that the presence of Sea -Tac Airport and other
regional transportation facilities such as Interstates 5 and 405 and State Routes 509
and 518 and eventually a regional transportation rail line can have either negative or
positive effects on the members depending on the manner in which adverse impacts are
addressed.
3. The Parties hereto have expressed their opposition to the
development of a third runway, and other system improvements leading to increased air
traffic at Seattle- Tacoma International Airport and Boeing Field.
4. The Parties further believe that regional public transportation needs
must be resolved on a regional basis and that only equitable solutions to those needs
should be adopted. Additional air traffic at Seattle Tacoma International Airport and
Boeing Field does not constitute equitable or responsible regional solutions. Equitable
solutions are those which recognize that the impacts and the benefits of transportation
projects are often not realized in the same community, therefore necessitating an
attempt to equalize that disparity among affected communities.
5. The Parties believe that a collective effort, including the pooling of
resources and the execution of this Agreement to express and administer policy
matters, is the most effective and expeditious method of achieving the goals stated
herein.
Page 1 of 17
Airport Communities Coalition
Interlocal Agreement 2002
6. The Parties agree to promote the following goals:
A. To stop the construction of any additional runways at
Seattle- Tacoma International Airport.
B. To achieve proper noise mitigation of schools with
associated air quality and temperature controls.
C. To limit or reduce the number of flight operations in King
County, at both Seattle- Tacoma International Airport and at Boeing Field, to a specific
level and to eliminate night flights from 10:30 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.
D. To limit expansion of airport facilities in King County, at
both Seattle- Tacoma International Airport and at Boeing Field, in order to prevent a
significant increase in the number of flight operations which is likely to have substantial,
adverse environmental impacts.
E. To seek revisions to the Four Post Plan which
accommodate community concerns about overflights, including those which produce
noise in areas outside the 65 dB DNL contour.
F. To develop and promote equitable solutions to regional
transportation needs on a regional basis, working to develop mutually beneficial
partnerships and agreements that promote economic development and protect the
environment.
G. To improve abatement and mitigation of airport impacts on
the Highline School District and member cities to this agreement.
H. To ensure that all past impacts from operations at Sea -Tac
Airport and Boeing Field are fully mitigated. To support fair distribution among ACC
members of public dollars for the mitigation of impacts from operations of Sea -Tac
Airport and Boeing Field.
1. To participate in efforts to plan effectively, site appropriately
and fully mitigate any regional surface transportation projects including RTA and
extensions or improvements to State Routes 509 and 518, and 1 -5 and 1 -405.
J. To create an economic, political and social climate in which
the parties can realize meaningful benefits from being neighbors of Sea -Tac Airport and
Boeing Field and other regional surface transportation facilities which are consistent
with the community objectives of these parties.

2004 Comprehensive Plan Update
February 12, 2004
This memo describes the Annual Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan, as well as the
process used to review and adopt them. It also discusses how the GMA Technical
Update and Annual Amendment processes will be combined and coordinated in the 2004
Comprehensive Plan Update.
The accompanying memo (Attachment 2) includes a draft resolution which adopts a
public involvement program and work plan for the 2004 Comprehensive Plan Update
process, including the GMA Technical Update and Annual Amendments.
Background:
State law permits jurisdictions to amend their Comprehensive Plan documents no more
than once each year, except in emergency situations. This year, Tukwila's
Comprehensive Plan amendment process will include two main parts: 1) the Growth
Management Act (GMA)- related Technical Update (i.e. revisions required to comply
with provisions of the Washington Growth Management Act) and; 2) Annual
Amendments (i.e. changes proposed by members of the public as part of the City's
regular process). GMA Technical Update items will include focused revisions to certain
elements of the Comprehensive Plan, primarily housing, transportation, natural
environment, and utilities. Annual amendments include requests for policy and map
changes from private parties.
The GMA Technical Update and Annual Amendments will be combined into a single
Comprehensive Plan Update review process. All Comprehensive Plan Update work
should be considered and adopted before December 1, 2004, the State's deadline for
adopting GMA- related changes.
Steven M. Mullet, Mayor
Annual Amendments:
We received three applications for annual Comprehensive Plan amendments from private
parties by the December 31, 2003 deadline. The applications are as follows:
Robb Property 6550 and 6542 Southcenter Boulevard Proposal to
change land use designation and zoning from Low Density Residential (LDR)
to Office (0). This proposal was originally considered last year, but was
denied with an option to reapply for reconsideration if vehicular access and
encroachment issues were resolved by the 12/31/03 application deadline. The
applicant has submitted some new information for City consideration during

fully resolved.

La Pianta LLC Tukwila Valley South Proposal to revise Comprehensive
Plan policies relating to the Tukwila Valley South area.
Next Stens for Annual Amendments:
On February 23 and March 8, 2004, the City Council will be briefed on the annual
amendment proposals and decision process. The public will comment on the potential
amendments at a meeting to be held on March 15, 2004. Afterwards, the City Council
will make a threshold decision on which proposed amendments to refer to the Planning
Commission for further review and recommendation.
Council Consideration for Annual Amendments:
After holding its public meeting, the Council will evaluate each proposed amendment
according to the following review criteria:
Is the issue already adequately addressed in the Comprehensive Plan?
If the issue is not addressed in the Comprehensive Plan, is there a public need for the
proposed change?
Is the proposed change the best means for meeting the identified public need?
Will the proposed change result in a new benefit to the community?
Following its initial consideration of a proposed amendment, the Council shall make a
"threshold decision" consisting of one of the following actions:
Refer the proposal as-is to the Planning Commission for further review;
Modify the proposal and refer the Planning Commission for further review;
Defer consideration until a later time;
Reject the proposal.
Coordination of Annual Amendments with GMA Technical Undate:
Distinct from the Annual Amendments discussed above, staff has reviewed existing
Comprehensive Plan policies and evaluated the need for revision based on the Growth
Management Act requirements. As a result of the analysis, staff has prepared a draft
resolution, public process and work plan for the GMA Technical Update portion of the
2004 Comprehensive Plan Update. State law requires legislative action to adopt the work
plan and public process for the GMA Technical Update
On February 23, 2004, the City Council will be briefed on the Comprehensive Plan
update, including both the Annual Amendments and on the proposed public involvement
CC memo re amdmts 2 -23 -04 mtng2
process and work plan for the GMA Technical Update. On March 15, 2004, the City
Council will hold a public meeting on the Annual Amendments, and a separate public
hearing on the resolution, work plan and public process for the GMA Technical Update.
Once the Council is satisfied with the GMA Technical Update work plan and public
process, it will pass a resolution to finalize these items.
Next Stens:
After the City Council makes a threshold decision for the Annual Amendments and
adopts the resolution with the GMA Technical Update work plan and public process, all
proposed amendments and work items will be forwarded to the Planning Commission for
review, public hearing and recommendation.
Any proposed amendments that are referred by the Council to the Planning Commission
will return before the Council for briefings, a final public hearing, deliberation and a
decision prior to the December 1, 2004 deadline set by the State of Washington. At that
point, the Council may:
Adopt a proposed amendment;
Adopt a modified version of a proposed amendment; or
Reject the amendment.

1. Annual Amendment to the Como Plan Amendments to the Comp Plan are allowed only
'once a year unless there is an emergency. Staff is preparing changes to the Comp Plan, but
because of their workload in other areas, they are doing minimal changes to comply with
changed Growth Management Act (GMA) regulations, and three requests that have been
submitted by members of the public. Anything beyond these issues will need to be proposed for
the 2005 budget, as time does not allow more to be done this year. A proposed public
participation schedule was reviewed, and the Committee thought it was very thorough.
Expanding on the technical changes that will be proposed by staff, Steve went through the update
issues briefly, and Rebecca's memo gave a little more detail. Those issues will be an expanded
checklist that relies somewhat on the old comp plan EIS. Steve said some issues could be
controversial though they won't be major issues. Our comp plan policies will all be reviewed,
and then the GMA regulations will be reviewed to see which of our policies needs to be updated.
Dave asked how "we could make sure our mailing list reached everyone, and was told the most
current list will be used, and anyone who shows an interest in the subject can be contacted. The
Hazelnut will also be used to inform citizens about the process. Recommend resolution to
COW.
2. Charles River Associates Contract Since fall of 2001 the City has contracted with Charles
River in order to use the extensive knowledge and contracts of Dan Brand who works there. Mr.
Brand is a pre- eminent expert in the field of parking, and has helped the City do a bit of planning
for Sound Transit in this field. Now the work will intensify and his help will be more heavily
relied on. Steve pointed out that the contract is not inexpensive, but that it is worth every penny.
Sound Transit's original documents referenced Mr. Brand, so they can't say he's not creditable.
Recommend contract to COW.
3. ECO Northwest contract Two associates from ECO NW have worked with the City as the
plans for the TUC and TOD have begun. They are working with the economic and fiscal issues
about the two areas. The next phase will take an in -depth look at markets for housing and
development for the TUC/TOD areas. Whether it will pay to build specific housing and retail in
certain areas will be looked at from a perspective of whether or not it makes sense. This
company's work is paid through a grant.
Pam raised the issue of this study having large implications, and said it needed to be compared to
the Westfield Mall/Klickitat expansion, Tukwila Village, and the Segale developments. All will
be vying for city funds, and priorities will need to be set. Pam said it's hard to compare the costs
and benefits of all these projects. Recommend contract to COW.

Subj: 2004 Comprehensive Plan Update (Growth Management Act (GMA)
Technical Update Annual Amendments)
Date: February 13, 2004
Background:
We are proceeding with the 2004 Comprehensive Plan amendment process, including
specific revisions related to the Growth Management Act and consideration of three
amendments submitted by private parties. All amendments should be adopted by
December 1, 2004 to meet the State of Washington's deadline.
Due to staffing, workload and scheduling issues we are focusing attention and resources
on making technical revisions that are required to make Tukwila's Comprehensive Plan
consistent with recent changes to the Washington Growth Management Act (GMA). We
have combined the GMA Technical update with our annual amendment review.
Work plan and nublic narticination:
According to a schedule established by RCW 36.70.A.130(4), each city in Washington
must take legislative action to review and, if needed, revise its Comprehensive Plan and
development regulations to ensure they comply with the GMA. Cities may use a variety
of public processes to fulfill this requirement. The level and amount of review and
revision that each city needs varies, depending on factors, such as when the most recent
Plan and regulations were adopted.
The attached resolution adopts a public involvement program and work plan for the 2004
GMA update as required by RCW 36.70A.130. The work plan was developed after staff
review and analysis of existing Comprehensive Plan policies and changes to the Growth
Management Act. It includes the annual amendments, and GMA required items, as well
as issues that need improvement to be consistent with current State planning legislation.
We would like your comments on the work plan and schedule, and will incorporate them
into the final document. The City Council will hold a public hearing on the work plan on
March 15, 2004.

Resolution:
Once the work plan elements have been agreed on, the resolution can be adopted. We
anticipate that this will occur following the March 15, 2004 hearing. The resolution with
work plan, public process and schedule will then be conveyed to the Washington
Department of Commerce, Trade and Economic Development.

WORK PROGRAM
2004 UPDATE TO COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
AND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS
Attachment B
The City is required to take action to review and, if needed, revise the City's
Comprehensive Plan and development regulations to ensure compliance with the
requirements of the Growth Management Act (RCW 36.70A. 130 (1). To accomplish
this, staff reviewed all Comprehensive Plan policies, comparing them with GMA
requirements as well as changes since the Tukwila Comprehensive Plan was adopted in
1995. Staff further reviewed comments from Washington Department of Community
Trade and Economic Development dating from initial Comprehensive Plan adoption in
1995 to make sure that all issues had been resolved.
As a result of this review, staff has identified the following revisions that are needed.
These, combined with three proposed amendments submitted by members of the public,
comprise the majority of the Comprehensive Plan work program as follows:
State Requirements for the 5 -year Plan and Development Regulations Update
I. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ELEMENT
Discussion: The Growth Management Act (GMA) requires individual jurisdictions'
plans to be consistent with Countywide Planning Policies, including household and
employment targets aimed at reaching appropriate densities in Urban Growth Areas
(UGAs). Population and employment targets were adopted by King County and included
in Tukwila's 1995 Comprehensive Plan. King County Countywide Planning Policies,
adopted May, 2003, set updated growth targets for Tukwila and other cities within the
County.
Conclusion: Information contained in the Economic Development Element and
Background Report will be revised to incorporate current population and employment
targets specified in the Countywide Planning Policies.
II. HOUSING ELEMENT
Discussion: Staff has considered whether the Housing Element addresses the following
as required by GMA, including: 1) Targets or objectives for providing affordable housing
suited to income levels of people who live or work in Tukwila; 2) Strategy and
mechanisms for achieving targets; 3) Group homes, foster care, accessory dwelling units
and manufactured housing; 4) Housing inventory and analysis for future needs; 5)
Support and provide for efficient use of land and housing opportunities Countywide
Planning Policies.
02/12/041
Tukwila has among the most affordable housing in the region. Strategies and policies are
in place to continue providing Tukwila's fair share of future regional low- and moderate
income housing. Some strategies include:
Smaller lots in single family zones
Accessory dwelling units allowed on lots at least 7,200 square feet
Increased density allowable through Planned Residential Development
Use of Community Development Block Grant funds to support low- income home
repair programs
As explained above, the Growth Management Act (GMA) requires individual
jurisdictions' plans to be consistent with Countywide Planning Policies, including
updated household and employment targets adopted in 2003. Tukwila's population
targets are derived from an allocation by the County based on population projections for
the state Office of Financial Management. Current targets are more realistic than earlier
targets, and reflect a reduction from 6,000 new living units to 3,200. These can be single
family houses, apartment or condo units. As required by GMA, Tukwila will need to
update the Comprehensive Plan Housing Element and Background Report to include
King County's most recent household targets. We will also prepare an updated housing
analysis and inventory to guide future policy.
Conclusion: Updated household targets, housing inventory and analysis for future
needs will be completed as part of GMA Technical Update.
II. NATURAL ENVIRONMENT ELEMENT
Discussion:
Comprehensive Plan Natural Environment element Policies 4.1.4 through 4.3.4 pertain
to environmentally sensitive areas. TMC Chapter 18.45 (Zoning Code Sensitive Areas
ordinance) guides development near environmentally sensitive areas such as steep slopes,
wetlands and watercourses.
Per RCW 36.70A.172 and .030(5), the City is required to: 1) review the critical
(sensitive) areas ordinances to see if they incorporate the best available science and
special consideration for anadromous fisheries; 2) identify sources of best available
science used to develop the critical areas regulations; and 3) have policies that give
guidance to its critical areas regulations, based on best available science.
02/12/042
Tukwila is in the process of reviewing its Comprehensive Plan policies and Development
Codes relating to Sensitive Areas to incorporate "best available science" and
consideration of anadromous fish. Tukwila's Sensitive Areas Ordinance (TMC Chapter
18.44) will be updated to incorporate the best available science and special consideration
for anadromous fisheries as required in RCW 36.70A.172. The Natural Environment
Element of the Comprehensive Plan will be evaluated and updated as necessary, based on
best available science to guide policies and regulations for environmentally sensitive
areas, including wetlands, fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas, geologically
hazardous areas, and frequently flooded areas
Conclusion: Tukwila is required to complete this information. Update of Natural
Environment Element and, Sensitive Areas Ordinance in progress.
III. TUKWILA URBAN CENTER ELEMENT
Discussion: The Tukwila Urban Center (TUC) Sub -area Plan, now being prepared, is
considered part of Tukwila's Comprehensive Plan. TUC Plan work will set policy
direction and contain redevelopment specifics for the Tukwila Urban Center.
Sub -area plans may not be inconsistent with the adopted Comprehensive
Plan. RCW 36.70A.130(2)(a)(i), amended in 2002, allows a plan amendment more
frequently than once a year for "[T]he initial adoption of a sub -area plan that does not
modify the comprehensive plan policies and designations applicable to the sub area."
A sub -area plan that does not change Comprehensive Plan policies can be adopted at any
time, however a sub -area plan such as the TUC plan which proposes a change in policy
may only be considered once a year, together with other proposed comprehensive plan
amendments.
Policy wording will be ready prior to development guidelines. The entire TUC Plan will
not be ready for review and adoption until late 2004 or early 2005, after the December 1,
2004 deadline for amending the Comprehensive Plan has passed.
Since the TUC Plan will contain policy changes and will not be completed until later in
2004, it would be necessary to delay Plan adoption by nearly a year, until the 2005 annual
amendment process. To avoid this delay and in order to make the most efficient use of
staff time, TUC- related policy changes will be considered separate from the rest of the
Plan, and included in the 2004 annual Comprehensive Plan update. Once TUC related
policy changes are adopted, the entire TUC Sub -area Plan can be considered and adopted
when it is completed in later 2004 or early 2005, rather than waiting nearly an additional
year.
Conclusion: The City will revise Tukwila Urban Center policies per guidance of
TUC Sub -area Plan work and Background Report update (in progress)
III. UTILITIES ELEMENT
Discussion: Staff prepared a new Comprehensive Surface Water Management Plan
which proposes new or revised policies to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan per
02/12/043
revisions to the Growth Management Act. In addition, significant changes have occurred
in other City utilities, including telecommunications and solid waste management.
Conclusion: Staff will update data and revise policies requiring changes due to
preparation and anticipated adoption of the Surface Water Management Plan, as
well as any background information which is significantly out of date.
IV. TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT
Discussion: Staff review showed that the City has done the following as required by
GMA: 1) worked with the regional planning organization to designate the levels of
service on highways that are not of statewide significance; 2) incorporated the levels
of service set by WSDOT for highways of statewide significance and eliminated these
highways from the City's concurrency management system; 3) included an inventory
of state transportation facilities in the City's jurisdictional area. In addition, Tukwila
uses a variety of transportation strategies such as: Commute Trip Reduction (CTR),
Transportation Management Plans (TMP), multi -modal facilities (trails, bus stops,
commuter rail). Tukwila has designated LOS for local arterials. It has not as yet
designated LOS for Regionally Significant State Highways (non -HSS) as recently
required by the Puget Sound Regional Council, and needs to complete traffic
estimates to several state -owned facilities, primarily Interstate -5.
Conclusion: Most of the GMA requirements are met. However, Tukwila needs to
amend the Transportation Element to address the following:
LOS standards for non -HSS, and certain state -owned facilities;
Update planning horizon Include any new or changed policies which result from
updates to the Transportation Plan or Concurrency Ordinance.
V. CAPITAL FACILITIES ELEMENT
Discussion: Staff review of comments made from Washington CTED from the 1995
Comprehensive Plan adoption showed that information on the projected needs, current
capacities and funding sources is scattered through various documents and sources.
Conclusion: We recommend updating and consolidating capital facilities
information to show assets and funding sources more clearly.
IV. MAINTENANCE OF THE PLAN ELEMENT
Discussion: The City is required to monitor the Comprehensive Plan, including: 1) a
method for monitoring how well Comprehensive Plan policies and associated
development regulations are achieving the goals of the Plan and of the GMA; 2) a
process for amending the Comprehensive Plan; and 3) a definition of "emergency" for
the purpose of amending the plan or development regulations outside of the yearly
amendment process. Amendments must also be coordinated with King County and other
cities.
02/12/044
Tukwila monitors the effectiveness of its Comprehensive Plan development regulations
and other implementation techniques by addressing needed changes, performing analysis
(such as the regular "Buildable Lands" analysis) and completing annual amendments to
the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code. In addition, the City conducts periodic
updates to related functional plans. The City sends a copy of proposed amendments to
Washington Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development, other state
and regional agencies.
Conclusion: The plan monitoring requirements have been met, except for the
emergency amendment." Tukwila needs to specify a definition and process for
"Emergency Amendments" to the Comprehensive Plan by revising the Maintenance
of the Plan Element and the Zoning Code.
VI. Background Information:
When the draft Comprehensive Plan was reviewed by State staff prior to its 1995
adoption, the reviewer indicated that the Comprehensive Plan map should include a
"public lands" designation to identify lands useful for public purposes, such as facilities,
utility corridors, transportation corridors, recreation, schools and/or other public uses.
Conclusion:
We will update a Comprehensive Plan map to include existing information to
indicate a "public lands" designation per comments by Washington CTED.
VII. Annual Amendments
In addition to the preceding GMA- related issues, the City will consider applications
for Comprehensive Plan policy and/or map changes which were received from private
parties who submitted requests for annual amendments prior to the December 31,
2003 deadline.

RE: Proposed Contract with ECO Northwest
DATE: February 11, 2004
RE: TUC Eco NW contract amendment
Background
City of Tukwila
Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director
As part of our staff/consultant TUC planning team, Terry Moore and Brett Shedder of EcoNW
have provided technical assistance with economic and fiscal issues related to the planning of the
Tukwila Urban Center (TUC) and the transit- oriented development (TOD). The original contract
amount for $59,928.26 was approved in February, 2003. However, the project has continued to
evolve and additional Economic analysis is needed.
Pronosed Contract Amendment
MEMORANDUM
Steven M. Mullet, Mayor
The enthusiasm of the Public and the Council for the TUC Plan's evolving concepts of: 1) the
City's investment in "catalyst" public amenity and associated transportation improvements and
2) focused residential development along the river, is apparent. Like any major investment,
detailed economic analysis is warranted to ensure that these specific capital investments and
zoning changes "work" in an economic sense. This $20,000 contract amendment will be funded
by the existing TUC /TOD grant. It provides additional, more detailed analysis on more general
work contained in the original EcoNW contract's Scope of Work.
Specifically, this contract amendment provides for more detailed work for two tasks (Task 2,
original scope) market analysis absorption population and employment forecasts, and (Task 3,
•original scope) fiscal analysis analyzing and describing potential City financial resources and
benefits from recommended expenditures.
The current status of these analyses and additional work needed are described below:
a) Market analysis absorption population and employment forecasts. The work on
population and employment forecasts is done. The work on market analysis and

absorption needs to be expanded to respond to the details of the Plan elements
worked out in November and approved by City Council Additional new work on
"retail entitlements" also remains to be done.
b) Fiscal analysis. Eco NW has completed initial general work and submitted it to
the City. Further work is needed to build on those points, and incorporate
information on development costs into a full fiscal picture of the costs and
revenues that the TUC Plan would generate for the City.

assist the TUC team in development of a "final scenario for the proposed
development of the TUC City Center. As a result of the work of recent
months, the team now has in place two final scenarios (or preferred
alternatives) for the City Center Development: the Mall-to -Pond and Mall-
to- Station alternatives. Both of these will need some additional analysis,
and a preferred alternative will need more detailed analysis than
specified in Tasks 2 and 3
The following two tasks are designed to help the TUC planning team take
the next step and begin to explore potential avenues for implementation of
the alternatives. They are expansions of and replacements for Tasks 2
and 3 of the original scope of work. These tasks are:
Task 1: Gap analysis
Task 2: Fiscal strategies assessment
The City and ECO have tentatively agreed that analysis and conclusions
of Tasks 1 and 2 will be combined into a single report: this scope of work
assumes a single report (draft and final).
TASK 1: GAP ANALYSIS
In summary, the gap analysis is an estimation of (1) the cost associated
with development of the private components of the TUC City Center
Development, (2) the market return that the developer could expect to
receive from that investment, and (3) the gap between the costs and
returns, if any, that would need to be covered by public funds to ensure
that the development could go forward.
As we see it, such gap analyses would definitely be performed for the
Mall-to- Station alternative. They may or may not be needed for the Mall-
to-Pond alternative depending on the final definition of that alternative.
The reasons: (1) if in the final alternative all the new development is
being done by the mall on its property, an evaluation of the performance
and absorption of that development may not be necessary; and (2) the
project team may judge, based on recent information from meetings with
Target and Westfield, that there is not enough current support from
these businesses to make the Mall-to -Pond alternative viable
The components of the analyses would include:
Defmition of the critical components of the City Center
Development that would be driven by private sector developers..
ECO would work with FTB to identify, among other things:
The parcels that would need to redevelop, at a minimum, to
allow the City Center Development to succeed.
Reasonable assumptions about the land use categories and
configurations that would go on the redeveloping properties.
Assumptions about public im ....ents that would be
associated with each set of private- sector developments. These
improvements are primarily the ones that get the project
launched, and have been called by the study team the catalyst
improvements. (These assumptions would not play a direct part
in the gap analyses, but would be important as a check to
ensure that total cost estimates include the full set of private
and public sector improvements.)
Estimation of development costs, including the costs of land
acquisition, construction, and carrying costs.
Estimation of the value of the development upon completion of the
project in present value terms. Implicit in such an estimation are
assumptions about market absorption, and about the costs and
value of development in the TUC relative to competing areas (which
implies some analysis of comparable sales and interviews).
Discussion of retail entitlements (optional).
Findings in a technical memorandum (similar in format to others
we have produced for this project). A final section would discuss
the implications of our analysis. This is the same memorandum
that would include the evaluation described in Task 2, following.
ECO will be looking at the gap under the assumption that the City has
provided all the improvements (as described in the next section). If the
analysis of rents and absorption, compared to development cost, results
in a less -than market rate of return, there is a gap. The gap would, of
course, be even bigger if the assumption were that the developer had to
pay some portion of the improvements described in Task 2.
TASK 2: FISCAL STRATEGIES ASSESSMENT
ECO's role here will be to assemble cost and financial information
provided by others in a consistent format. Other team members (the City,
Mirai, FTB) will provide ECO with a list of catalyst improvements for the
development scenario, a description of what they are and an estimate of
their costs, and any additional information they have available that they
believe relevant to the level of ECO's analysis (e.g., timing or phasing;
known funding sources). Upon receipt of these cost estimates, ECO will
include an estimate of the potential gap financing cost estimated in Task
1, thereby generating an estimate of the total public cost of
implementation for each preferred alternative.
In addition to assessing implementation costs, ECO will also assess
potential financing mechanisms and strategies to accomplish the TUC
City Center Development. The assessment of potential funding
mechanisms would include:
Cataloging potential sources of funds, including the City's
remaining untapped taxing authority, anticipated new revenue
streams, and potential Local Improvement District funding.
An assessment of the performance of funding strategies, including
an assessment of potential revenues and the incidence of potential
new taxes or levies on different categories of payers.
The focus of both Task 1 and 2 is on the development of the City Center
alternatives over the analysis period, not on the overall development of
the TUC. If the City desires a broader description of capital
improvements (e.g., for a larger area or over a longer period), it will
provide ECO with the necessary information about all improvements,
and ECO will incorporate that in formation as a table in its
memorandum.

1. Annual Amendment to the Comp Plan Amendments to the Comp Plan are allowed only
once a year unless there is an emergency. Staff is preparing changes to the Comp Plan, but
because of their workload in other areas, they are doing minimal changes to comply with
changed Growth Management Act (GMA) regulations, and three requests that have been
submitted by members of the public. Anything beyond these issues will need to be proposed for
the 2005 budget, as time does not allow more to be done this year. A proposed public
participation schedule was reviewed, and the Committee thought it was very thorough.
Expanding on the technical changes that will be proposed by staff, Steve went through the update
issues briefly, and Rebecca's memo gave a little more detail. Those issues will be an expanded
checklist that relies somewhat on the old comp plan EIS. Steve said some issues could be
controversial though they won't be major issues. Our comp plan policies will all be reviewed,
and then the GMA regulations will be reviewed to see which of our policies needs to be updated.
Dave asked how we could make sure our mailing list reached everyone, and was told the most
current list will be used, and anyone who shows an interest in the subject can be contacted. The
Hazelnut will also be used to inform citizens about the process. Recommend resolution to
COW.
2. Charles River Associates Contract Since fall of 2001 the City has contracted with Charles
River in order to use the extensive knowledge and contracts of Dan Brand who works there. Mr.
Brand is a pre- eminent expert in the field of parking, and has helped the City do a bit of planning
for Sound Transit in this field. Now the work will intensify and his help will be more heavily
relied on. Steve pointed out that the contract is not inexpensive, but that it is worth every penny.
Sound Transit's original documents referenced Mr. Brand, so they can't say he's not creditable.
Recommend contract to COW.
ECO Northwest contract Two associates from ECO NW have worked with the City as the
plans for the TUC and TOD have begun. They are working with the economic and fiscal issues
about the two areas. The next phase will take an in -depth look at markets for housing and
development for the TUC/TOD areas. Whether it will pay to build specific housing and retail in
certain areas will be looked at from a perspective of whether or not it makes sense. This
company's work is paid through a grant.
Pam raised the issue of this study having large implications, and said it needed to be compared to
the Westfield Mall/Klickitat expansion, Tukwila Village, and the Segale developments. All will
be vying for city funds, and priorities will need to be set. Pam said it's hard to compare the costs
and benefits of all these projects. Recommend contract to COW.

FROM: Steve Lancaster, DCD Director
RE: Proposed Contract with Charles River Associates
DATE: February 11, 2004
Dan Brand of Charles River Associates has been a consultant to the City since September, 2001.
He has provided technical review of the parking and transportation related impacts of the
proposed Link Light Rail project. The original contract amount for $24,500 was approved in
September, 2001 and a second contract for $10,500 was approved in November 2002. These
contract amounts have been exhausted, however the project has continued to evolve and so the
need for his expertise is ongoing.
We have drafted a new contract for your consideration (see attached). It is structured as a time
and materials contract with a not -to- exceed amount of $50,000. This contract is intended to
cover Mr. Brand's ongoing work in responding to Sound Transit's proposals, including aiding in
the City's parking requirement determination for the 154 Street Station park and ride and
potentially conducting peer review of portions of any related traffic impact analyses.

INFORMATION MEMO
To: Mayor Mullet
From: Public Works Director
Date: February 3, 2004 VV
Subject: I -405 Congestion Relief Bus Rapid Transit Proiects
ISSUE
Briefing on the WSDOT I -405 Congestion Relief and Bus Rapid Transit Projects (I -405
widening) and consideration of a draft Memorandum of Understanding between Tukwila and
WSDOT which establishes cooperative relationship boundaries for the long -term project.
BACKGROUND
In April 2003, the Washington State Legislature passed a statewide transportation funding plan
known as the "Nickel Package," which includes $485 million dedicated to three critical areas
along I -405. One of those areas is in Renton with a small portion of the project area in Tukwila.
Longer range plans underway at WSDOT include two more phases of improvements to the I -405
corridor of which the first of these two phases could be funded through voter passage of the
future Regional Transportation Investment District (RTID).
ANALYSIS
The I -405 project is a very large and complex process that requires a great deal of inter agency
coordination and cooperation. In order to establish a thorough understanding of the project
phasing and how the City and WSDOT will work together over the duration of the entire design
build project, the attached draft Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) has been developed.
This MOU is the first of many agreements to be made between the two agencies and is not
intended to cover all possible topics associated with the I -405 project. The purpose of this
agreement is simply to establish `ground rules' on how WSDOT and the City of Tukwila will
work toward the successful completion of the I -405 project.
WSDOT staff will be present during the Transportation Committee meeting to provide a briefing
on the project status as well as participate in discussions on the draft MOU.
RECOMMENDATION
Give input on draft MOU and direct staff on where and when to present it next for Council
approval and mayoral signature.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
ESTABLISHING A COOPERATIVE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
THE CITY OF TUKWILA
AND
THE WASHINGTON STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
FOR
THE I -405 CONGESTION RELIEF BUS RAPID TRANSIT PROJECTS
THIS Memorandum of Understanding is made this day of
between the City of Tukwila (hereinafter referred to as CITY) and the Washington State
Department of Transportation (hereinafter referred to as WSDOT).
1. BACKGROUND
WSDOT is a department of state govemment with all powers, duties, and functions to
coordinate transportation modes and to develop and maintain a statewide transportation
system meeting the needs of the State of Washington as provided in RCW chs. 47.01.
WSDOT owns and operates an extensive system of highways, high occupancy vehicle
lanes, park and ride lots, and access ramps serving transit and carpools.
On April 27, 2003 the Washington State Legislature approved a statewide transportation-
funding plan called the "Nickel Package which includes $485 million to bring
congestion relief to three critical I -405 hotspots in Renton, Bellevue and Kirkland. The
funding provides for environmental, design and construction of "Nickel" projects as well
as "5 design of a long -range mobility strategy called the I -405 Master Plan.
The phasing and funding of the I -405 Master Plan consists of the Phase I "Nickel"
projects, the Phase II "Implementation Plan", and Phase III "Master Plan". Planning,
designing, constructing and operating these improvements is a complex task, requiring
maximum cooperation between CITY and WSDOT.
"Nickel" Projects
The new facilities and services included within the South Renton "Nickel" project are
described in Appendix A. Elements of this plan contained within the City of Tukwila
include a portion of a proposed northbound auxiliary lane between SR -181 (West Valley
Highway) and SR -167 (East Valley Highway).
Implementation Plan
The I -405 Executive Committee endorsed an Implementation Plan on October 2, 2003.
The Implementation Plan, described in Appendix B, represents projects that could be
built over a ten -year period if major transportation funding decisions occur. This phase
may be partially funded through the Regional Transportation Investment District (RTID).
It is anticipated that if the RTID passes in a timely manner, the South Renton "Nickel"
funds will be rolled into the Implementation Plan, rather then used for construction of the
Tukwila WSDOT MOU
Page 1 February 2004
South Renton "Nickel" project. Elements of the Implementation Plan contained within
the City of Tukwila include the following
One additional eastbound general purpose lane under I -5, connecting SR -518 to I-
405 with a two -lane section.
One additional lane in each direction of I -405.
Replacement of the 61 Avenue South structure over I -405 to accommodate the
widened I -405, including exploring bridge replacement locations.
Replacement of the 66 Avenue South (Christensen Road) structures over I -405
to accommodate the widened I -405. In replacing this structure, aligning the 66
Street replacement structure with E. Andover Parkway will be considered.
Removal of the Tukwila Parkway to northbound I -405 "slip" ramp and extension
of the Tukwila Parkway east over the Green River to a new intersection with SR-
181. This improvement will provide traffic on Tukwila Parkway access to
northbound I -405 through the reconstructed south half of the I- 405 /SR -181
interchange.
Reconstruction of the south half of the I -405 SR -181 (northbound only)
interchange to connect the I -405 northbound off -ramp to the proposed Tukwila
Parkway extension.
Improving SR -181 to 6 lanes at I -405.
It is anticipated that the I -405 facilities included in the Implementation Plan will
accommodate the proposed Master Plan improvements to the extent feasible.
Master Plan
The I-405 Master Plan, which was developed through an extensive public involvement
process with an encompassing Environmental Impact Statement, reached a Federal
Record of Decision (ROD) in October 2002. The ROD identified a selected alternative,
which is the basis for the I -405 Master Plan. The Master Plan, described in Appendix C,
is a 20 -year vision of multi -modal improvements to the freeway, transit system, and
arterials along the I -405 corridor, stretching from Tukwila to Lynnwood. Elements of
this plan contained within the City of Tukwila include the elements listed above for the
Implementation Plan and the following additions:
One additional lane (plus the one additional lane included with the
Implementation Plan) in each direction of I -405 from the I- 405/I -5 (Tukwila)
interchange to the I- 405 /SR -167 interchange.
Reconfigure the I- 405/1 -5 Tukwila Interchange by adding a freeway -to- freeway
direct connector for eastbound SR -518 to northbound I -5 general purpose traffic,
and adding freeway -to- freeway HOV direct connectors in each direction between
northbound and southbound I -5 and I -405 east of I -5.
Convert the SB I -405 to NB I -5 HOV direct connector connection to I -5 from a
right -side on to a left side on connection.
Add I -405 HOV direct accesses at Tukwila in the vicinity of the commuter rail
station.

Design Refinement
The Implementation Plan and "Master Plan" phasing descriptions described above reflect
what we know today based on the current conceptual -level of design and RTID funding
discussions. The design will evolve as the level of design becomes more detailed, RTID
funding levels are determined and design options are evaluated. The developed design is
anticipated to fit within the definition of the "Selected Alternative" as documented in the
October 2002 Environmental Impact Statement Federal Record of Decision.
Based on this background, it is mutually agreed as follows.
2. PURPOSE
The purpose of this Memorandum of Understanding is to establish working principles by
and between CITY and WSDOT to facilitate the design, construction, and operation of
capital projects of those portions of the "Nickel Implementation and Master Plan that
reside within the CITY.
3. GOALS
The goal of the principles is as follows:
Describe the general relationship between WSDOT and CITY that will facilitate
WSDOT's primary commitment to in deliver the "Nickel" projects within the
schedule, as mandated by the Legislature, and secondly, will facilitate formulation
of the Implementation Plan and Master Plan, beginning from the early stages of
the NEPA Environmental Assessment through the final stages of construction.
The organizational structure is contained in Appendix D.
Commit to planning, designing and constructing projects, and integrating
programs in a timely manner within the defined schedule (see Section 6).
Declare intent to execute future agreements to implement the "Nickel" Project,
the Implementation Plan, and the I -405 Master Plan within the City of Tukwila, as
funding becomes available.
4. PRINCIPLES
A. Nickel, Implementation and Master Plan investments are to provide an efficient,
integrated, multimodal system of phased transportation solutions within the
corridor.
B. The projects and services implemented for I -405 will provide for maintenance or
enhancement of livability for communities within the corridor, including
maintenance or improvement of air quality, protection or enhancement of fish
bearing streams and the continued integrity of the natural environment.
Tukwila WSDOT MOU
Page 3 of 10 February 2004
C. The CITY and WSDOT are committed to supporting a vigorous state and regional
economy by responding to existing and future travel needs.
D. Nickel, Implementation and Master Plan investments will accommodate planned
regional growth by incorporating regional and local planning documents into the
design analysis.
E. WSDOT and CITY will coordinate respective capital programs to take advantage
of opportunities to reduce cost and increase benefit. Allocation arrangements will
be negotiated within individual agreements between relevant entities to ensure
that the cost of joint projects is assigned on a proportional basis.
F. WSDOT and CITY will work together to pursue additional grants or other funds
where value can be added to specific capital projects or where added projects can
add significant benefits to the I -405 Master Plan.
G. Construction schedules will be coordinated and managed such that disruption to
the public and construction contracting community is kept at acceptable levels. It
is recognized that a need exists to work with the CITY to define construction
limitations that address access to the Tukwila Urban Center during the Christmas
holiday season.
H. WSDOT will perform the lead role on I -405 Corridor community involvement.
WSDOT will keep the CITY informed of the community involvement activities it
is undertaking and provide involvement roles for CITY when appropriate.
I. Recognizing the above principles and the complexities of the tasks involved in
them, CITY and WSDOT will expedite processes as scheduled, including but not
necessarily limited to:
Identify qualified representatives to ensure timeliness and effectiveness of
discussions and decisions.
Organize functions to ensure good communication between team
representatives and between teams and the respective organizations.
Evaluate processes on an on -going basis to minimize time required to design
and construct projects, and when possible, run processes in parallel instead of
sequentially.
J. Issues of conflict will be referred to the appropriate resolution process to reach
agreement expeditiously and at the lowest level of hierarchy in accordance with
the "Tukwila Advisory Process" flow chart, included in Appendix D The spirit
of these discussions will ensure rapid resolution, maximum cooperation, respect
for financial responsibilities, and high integrity of individual and organizational
missions.
Tukwila WSDOT MOU
Page 4 of 10 February 2004
5. STRUCTURE
A Tukwila Advisory Committee (TAC) will be formed to address I -405 project related
issues. This TAC will function as indicated in the "Tukwila Advisory Process" flow
chart. The CITY will provide the City Engineer and a Senior Engineer to serve on the
"Tukwila Advisory Committee WSDOT will provide the South Renton Contract
Manager and the Tukwila/Renton/Bothell Segment Manager to serve on the TAC.
The TAC will provide a central CITY forum by which WSDOT can bring preliminary
design sketches and information to gain CITY feedback on project options. As
appropriate, the TAC will form Task Forces to coordinate specific issues. The Task Force
will appoint a chair to report back to the TAC. The Task Forces will cease when the
reason for forming has been resolved.
As the project progresses into construction, the TAC will continue to be a forum for the
discussion of project related issues.
6. SCHEDULE
The primary goal of the I -405 project is to deliver the "Nickel" Projects within the schedule
as mandated by the Legislature. To accomplish this goal, the following is the anticipated I-
405 "Nickel" schedule for the Tukwila segment work:
July 2003 Start "South Renton" footprint design

1. I 405 Proiect The three representatives from WSDOT reported on the current status of the I -405
project improvement. The nickel increase in gas tax passed by the 2003 Legislature will provide
funding for improving the I- 405 /SR 167 interchange, starting with an extra lane from SR 181 in
Tukwila to the interchange. A lane from the north going south on I -405 will also be added for a short
distance. The nickel does not include enough funding to do all that needs to be done to improve I -405.
It is hoped a Regional Transportation Improvement District (RTID) tax will be passed by voters to
increase funding for projects like this. RTID may be put on the ballot this November. There is
already pressure to move the I -405 project funds to other SR 167 projects that are also under funded.
Pam suggested and the Committee agreed to send a letter to SKCTBD urging support for the I-405
project. One strength of the I -405 project is that it has been studied and is ready to go, while the SR-
167 project still needs to be studied first. Costs for the SR 167 range from $800,000 -$1.2 b.
The Committee next considered the memorandum of understanding. It lays out the ground rules for
the negotiation of this and other projects. An advisory decision process was shown, with involvement
by a wide number of interests and people. Joan thought the memo laid a good background for now,
with more specific information coming later in the process. Joe was concerned about what will
happen as members drop out and are replaced in the long -term process. Stacy said the memo of
understanding will continue to guide the process, so it can't be affected by personnel changes. Pam
caught an editing error, and asked about bus rapid transit, which is provided for in the list of projects
for the master plan. Joan asked about pedestrian considerations, and was assured they are well
provided for. Recommend memo of understanding and report on I 405 project to COW.
2. Renaming of Saxon Drive Costco currently has its address on Saxon Drive. They feel that
because they are not on Andover East, they need better addressing to help people find them. To that
end, they would like to change the name of Saxon drive to Costco Drive. Because Saxon is a private
street, it does not require a resolution to re -name the street, but a resolution would leave a paper trail
for the city's records, and it holds the City harmless for the change. Costco has agreed to pay for new
signs. The Committee members asked if Saxon was an historic name, but were told no one had been
able to find any reference to the Saxon name. Jon noted that the addressing of Costco was off; it is
now listed as being in the 1100's, when it should logically be in the 500's. Recommend resolution to
-COW.
3. Adoption of the 2004 Standard Specifications WSDOT and the Washington Chapter of the
American Public Works Association publish a book of considerable size containing the technical
standards that need to be used for any public projects using federal funds for transportation projects.
The City needs to adopt the 2004 version of the Plan in order to be eligible for federal grants. Pam
suggested some changes to improve the ordinance. Recommend to COW.

Resolution Changing the Street Name of Saxon Drive to Costco Drive
This resolution will change the name of Saxon Dr. to Costco Dr. This road currently is a
private street that only services Costco -owned businesses. Costco has requested the renaming
to enhance the visibility of its location. Researching the Tukwila history book and City Clerk
records, no information was found on the naming of Saxon Dr and its significance, if any.
To: Mayor Mullet
From: Public Works Directo
Date: February 4, 2004
Subject: Renaming of Saxon Drive as Costco Drive by Resolution
ISSUE
Saxon Drive is a private easement primarily serving Costco. Costco has requested that the
City of Tukwila re -name Saxon Drive as Costco Drive.
BACKGROUND
Barghausen sent a letter to the City (attached), on behalf of Costco, requesting that Saxon
Drive be renamed as Costco Drive, along with a copy of an acceptance letter signed by the
property owners of the land on which the private Saxon Drive sits. Costco has agreed to pay
all expenses related to the street name change, including permits, fees, old sign removal, new
sign fabrication and installation.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve resolution renaming Saxon Drive as Costco Drive and for staff to coordinate the
cbangeout of the existing street name signs to the current standard street name signs.

Re: Proposed name change of private access road in Tukwila
(Southcenter), Washington, from Saxon Drive to Costco Drive
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Sade:
r.02/11.3
As you may know, the City of Tukwila, Washington, promulgated a new
Sign Code. Shortly after passage of the code, the City required Costco Wholesale
Corporation "Costco to remove its sign that stood at the comer of Andover Park
East and Saxon Drive.
Unfortunately, without the sign on the comer, Costco is difficult to fmd
from Andover Park East, which is the main public street near the premises.
Because of this difficulty and the confusion it caused, Costco has been working
closely with the City to formulate a solution. Unfortunately, because of the nature
of our site, there are no viable alternative locations for a monument sign.
Saxon Drive is the private roadway which connects Costco's parking lot to
Andover Park East. In lieu of a monument sign, Costco would like to change the
name of Saxon Drive to Costco Drive. A street sign displaying "COSTCO
DRIVE" would be placed over Andover Park East, and would have the effect of
making Costco easier to find from Andover Park East.
The name change, including, without limitation, any applications, permits,
and fees necessary to effect the change, would be at Costco's sole cost and
expense. Further, Costco shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless you and your
successors and assigns, including your successors -in- interest to the subject
property, from any liability, loss, costs, claims, damages and causes of action
(including attorneys' fee and costs) arising from the name change.

for the city's records, and it holds the City harmless for the change. Costco has agreed to pay for new
signs. The Committee members asked if Saxon was an historic name, but were told no one had been
able to find any reference to the Saxon name. Jon noted that the addressing of Costco was off; it is
now listed as being in the 1100's, when it should logically be in the 500's. Recommend resolution to
.'COW.
3. Adoption of the 2004 Standard Specifications WSDOT and the Washington Chapter of the
American Public Works Association publish a book of considerable size containing the technical
standards that need to be used for any public projects using federal funds for transportation projects.
The City needs to adopt the 2004 version of the Plan in order to be eligible for federal grants. Pam
suggested some changes to improve the ordinance. Recommend to COW.

my staff has revised and updated the supplemental general requirements (modifications to
Division 1), and the construction contract boilerplate documents. Local Agencies must adopt
the 2004 Standard Specifications for use in all federally funded projects that are advertised
after April 5, 2004.
ACTION TAKEN
An ordinance has been drafted to adopt the 2004 edition of the Standard Specifications,
supplemental general requirements, and construction contract boilerplate documents. This
ordinance also repeals the previous Ordinance No. 1987.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve ordinance adopting the 2004 edition of the Standard Specifications, supplemental
general requirements, and construction contract boilerplate document as the City Standards for
construction of roads, bridges and infrastructure design and construction standards.

1. I -405 Proiect The three representatives from WSDOT reported on the current status of the I -405
project improvement. The nickel increase in gas tax passed by the 2003 Legislature will provide
funding for improving the I- 405 /SR 167 interchange, starting with an extra lane from SR 181 in
Tukwila to the interchange. A lane from the north going south on I -405 will also be added for a short
distance. The nickel does not include enough funding to do all that needs to be done to improve I -405.
It is hoped a Regional Transportation Improvement District (RTID) tax will be passed by voters to
increase funding for projects like this. RTID may be put on the ballot this November. There is
already pressure to move the I -405 project funds to other SR 167 projects that are also under funded.
Pam suggested and the Committee agreed to send a letter to SKCTBD urging support for the I -405
project. One strength of the I -405 project is that it has been studied and is ready to go, while the SR-
167 project still needs to be studied first. Costs for the SR 167 range from $800,000 -$1.2 b.
The Committee next considered the memorandum of understanding. It lays out the ground rules for
the negotiation of this and other projects. An advisory decision process was shown, with involvement
by a wide number of interests and people. Joan thought the memo laid a good background for now,
with more specific information coming later in the process. Joe was concerned about what will
happen as members drop out and are replaced in the long -term process. Stacy said the memo of
understanding will continue to guide the process, so it can't be affected by personnel changes. Pam
caught an editing error, and asked about bus rapid transit, which is provided for in the list of projects
for the master plan. Joan asked about pedestrian considerations, and was assured they are well
provided for. Recommend memo of understanding and report on I -405 nroiect to COW.
2. Renamine of Saxon Drive Costco currently has its address on Saxon Drive. They feel that
because they are not on Andover East, they need better addressing to help people find them. To that
end, they would like to change the name of Saxon drive to Costco Drive. Because Saxon is a private
street, it does not require a resolution to re -name the street, but a resolution would leave a paper trail
for the city's records, and it holds the City harmless for the change. Costco has agreed to pay for new
signs. The Committee members asked if Saxon was an historic name, but were told no one had been
able to find any reference to the Saxon name Jon noted that the addressing of Costco was off; it is
now listed as being in the 1100's, when it should logically be in the 500's. Recommend resolution to
-COW.
3. Adoption of the 2004 Standard Specifications WSDOT and the Washington Chapter of the
American Public Works Association publish a book of considerable size containing the technical
s standards that need to be used for any public projects using federal funds for transportation projects.
The City needs to adopt the 2004 version of the Plan in order to be eligible for federal grants. Pain
suggested some changes to improve the ordinance. Recommend to COW.

INFORMATION MEMO
To: Mayor Mullet
From: Public Works D recto n
Date: February 4, 2004 U
Subject: Federal Funded Right- of -Wav Acquisition
Federally funded right -of -way acquisition procedures are cumbersome and greatly increase the amount
of time and expenses to roadway projects.
WSDOT has overall responsibility for overseeing local agency acquisition of right -of -way if federal
funds (FHWA) are used, as outlined in the WSDOT Local Agency Guidelines (LAG) and Right -of -Way
Manuals. The typical WSDOT process is as follows:
Contact WSDOT Local Agency Right -of -Way Coordinator
Estimate probable right -of -way acquisition costs
Create right -of -way plan to WSDOT standards (professional surveyor stamped,
etc.)
Appraisal by WSDOT approved appraiser to WSDOT standards
Appraisal review by WSDOT approved appraisal reviewer
Title reports
Negotiations by a WSDOT certified negotiator with complete documentation of all
contact with property owner
Administrative settlement documentation
Right -of -way certification (see attached WSDOT checklist, LAG page 25 -34)
In contrast, City funded right -of -way acquisition on a federally funded project is required only to have
a WSDOT format right -of -way plan, title reports, appraisals, negotiations (without all the above
documentation), and then WSDOT right -of -way certification. Further, the City can begin the
acquisition process prior to federal environmental clearances (ECS and NEPA).
The federal right -of -way acquisition procedure is not only cumbersome and expensive, it is a very
lengthy process. For example, on the S 180 and TIB Phase 1 projects, right -of -way acquisition took
between three months and a year, depending on the complexity of the acquisition.

requirements if federal funds are used to buy rights of way. Jim explained that is in the City's best
interest to buy rights of way with City money as a match to other parts of any project funded by
federal funds. By using City funds, Public Works can start projects sooner, and do them faster and
better than if federal funds were used. Pam asked if there was a downside to the City's buying right of
way, and Jim said there was not. Jim said they need more coordination with WSDOT, but that was
fine. Other cities have done this. Information.
5. TCC Round Gutter Replacement Bid Award The Community Center which was built in 1996
has always had gutters on the middle rotunda that have been problematic. They are made of tin metal,
and had no expansion joints. The gutters have pulled off the building and are not misshapen and don't
do their job. After a study of the situation, bids were called for, and five bids were received. Ballard
Sheet Metal Works, Inc. was the low bidder at $31,203.84. This is within budget. Recommend to
COW for bid award.
6. WSDOT Letter WSDOT wrote a letter to Senator Horn asking for tumback of Highway 99. The
City wanted WSDOT to include a request for the funding to help improve the northern section. They
did not, so the City will write Senator Horn separately requesting the appropriation. Information.

Subject: Tukwila Community Center Rotunda Gutter Replacement
City Project No. 03 -BG07
Bid Award
ISSUE
Award the bid for the Tukwila Community Center Rotunda Gutter Replacement.
BACKGROUND
This facility was built and occupied in late 1996. The existing gutter was fabricated from
paintable mild steel sheet metal with a light zinc coating. The system includes only four down
leaders and no expansion joints. Whether by design detailing or by construction, the support
brackets are allowing the gutter to pull off the building fascia. This loss of profile,
accumulation of debris, and resulting water ponding has rusted out the gutter in several
locations and needs to be replaced.
In 2003, we retained the sheet metal consulting services of Herb Johnson to assist in the
detailing and specifying of a stainless steel replacement gutter and downspouts system. The
choice of replacement material, the addition of expansion joints, development of carefully
detailed support brackets, and the addition of one new downspout reflects the need to install an
assembly which needs little to no maintenance. The gutter is very difficult to access from the
north side given the inability to reach over the north entry.
The project was solicited for bid on January 8. Five (5) bids were received on January 30,
2004, with the apparent low bid of $28,680.00 submitted by Ballard Sheet Metal Works, Inc.
See attached bid tabulation. We have reviewed the bids, notified the apparent low bidder of
their opportunity to claim error within 24 hours which they have declined, and checked the low
bidder's references. The estimated cost of $31,203.84 including WSSTX is within the project
budget of $33,000 with an adequate contingency for construction.
