COMMITTEE OF WHOLE MEETING MINUTES 7:00 P.M. CALL TO ORDER/PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: Calling the meeting to order at 7:08 p.m. was Jim Haggerton, Council President, who also led the Pledge of Allegiance. COUNCIL ATTENDANCE: Present were Jim Haggerton, Council President; and Councilmembers Joe Duffle, Joan Hernandez, Pam Carter, Pam Linder; Dennis Robertson and David Fenton. OFFICIALS: Rhonda Berry, City Administrator; Lucy Lauterbach, Legislative Analyst; Bob Baker, Deputy City Clerk; Bruce Fletcher, Director of Parks and Recreation; Steve Lancaster, Director of Community Development; Jim Morrow, Director of Public Works; Alan Doerschel, Director of Finance; Viki Jessop, Director of Administrative Services; Joe Schultz, Assistant City Attorney; and Cyndy Knighton, Senior Engineer, Public Works Department. SPECIAL PRESENTATION: Friends of Grandmother's Hill Bruce Fletcher, Director of Parks and Recreation Bruce Fletcher was present with a group of "Friends" who have been working with the City for the past three plus years on the Grandmother's Hill project. He provided a background on the project which began with an idea to "preserve the hill" instead of the potential for plans to dynamite a portion of the hill and erect warehouses. Noting a deficit of City funds, the Friends understood and asked what they could do. After brainstorming ideas, meetings were held, action was taken, and the item was placed in the City's 6 -Year Parks Plan (to allow for grant applications). With the efforts of the group, the Friends raised $970,000.00 in funds in order for the City to purchase Grandmother's Hill. Mayor Mullet presented a plaque to "honor the Friends of Grandmother's Hill for making a difference in Tukwila. Your tireless efforts have greatly contributed in saving Grandmother's Hill Preserve. The Mayor and Tukwila City Council greatly appreciate your commitment to excellence." The plaque was presented to Georgina Kerr and many who were also in attendance who worked on the project. Ms. Kerr lives on the river across from Grandmother's Hill and noted her "strong stake in what happens in our community." Calling this "too good of a treasure to pass up," Ms. Kerr and the Friends were City of Tukwila City Council Committee of Whole Minutes Page 2 of 10 April 12, 2004 committed to making this a reality. With marine earth fossils, ancient earth, and other items older than Mt. Rainier, much interest was garnered for the project. That interest continued to grow. Thanks were given to the Council and staff for their commitment and their assistance. The Friends present at this meeting were introduced. Included were Vicki Woods, Rosemary Untescher, Brook Alford and Mark Dennis. Others have been involved yet were unable to attend this meeting. CITIZEN COMMENT /CORRESPONDENCE: Theresa Cassell, 14230 52 Avenue South. Tukwila, spoke in opposition to the increased panhandling occurring in the City of Tukwila. Even though it appears to be occurring mostly on private property, she has experienced some "scary incidents." Daniel Cassell. 14230 52 Avenue South, Tukwila. (son to previous speaker), also spoke in opposition to the panhandlers and asked the Council for assistance. Both asked if the business community would be contacted. After some discussion between the Cassells and Council, the item was referred to the Highway 99 Action Committee meeting for discussion. SPECIAL ISSUES: a. Additional staffing resource needs for the Tukwila Valley South Annexation. Councilmember Fenton reported review of this item at the April 5, 2004 Finance and Safety Committee. The Committee is in support of the proposal and asked for clarification on dollars. That information is provided in this evening's Council packet. Jim Morrow, Public Works Director, reported that as part of the 2004 budget process, the Department of Community Development and Public Works Departments identified a number of major initiatives that could come before the City in 2004. During budget discussions, it was noted the City did not, (nor does not) have enough people and /or money to cover those issues if they were to be considered. Such is the case with this item that includes a proposed annexation of approximately 245 acres to the south of the City. Mr. Morrow outlined the proposal for Council consideration. In order to cover the substantial workload in association with this proposed annexation, staff suggests the hiring of a project manager (for DCD) with a one -year contract, with an option to extend if necessary. That person would handle all details regarding the pre- annexation agreement, a master plan for the proposed annexation and development site, preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and any proposed changes to the City's Comprehensive plan, not to mention an overall agreement for the annexation. As infrastructure issues will be many, Public Works staff suggests assigning Ryan Larson, current Senior Engineer in Public Works, to coordinate the Public Works issues on a half -time basis. To do that, Public Works would assign the other half of Mr. Larson's duties to current contract employee Mike Ronda. Mr. Ronda would handle such issues as the Cascade View Drainage project and small drainage issues. Public Works must then hire an additional Project Inspector to assist Mr. Ronda with the increased construction inspection workload issues. Finally, Public Works must retain the services of an engineering firm to address the transportation, water and sewer issues associated with the infrastructure necessary to support the proposed annexation. Anticipated costs for the DCD Project Manager, Mike Ronda, the Public Works Project Inspector and the engineering firm are pro -rated for the remainder of 2004, at the total rate of $128,000.00. For 2005, the positions may cost the City as much as $270,000.00. City of Tukwila City Council Committee of Whole Minutes b. Position reclassification of Public Works Coordinator. Page 3 of 10 April 12, 2004 Calling the costs a worst -case scenario and not being budgeted for 2004, they must be taken from the general fund (for the DCD Project Manager and the engineering firm). Costs for Mr. Ronda and the Public Works Project Inspector are proposed to be taken from the Cascade View Drainage project. Considerable discussion took place between Council and staff. Several Councilmembers spoke of long- term benefits for the project and in favor of that which was proposed by Mr. Morrow. Steve Lancaster, Director of Community Development, responded to an inquiry from Council President Haggerton. Mr. Lancaster noted staff would perform a fairly broad advertisement for applicants for the Project Manager position. Qualifications will be reviewed and a stringent selection process will take place. Consensus existed to forward this item to the City Council Special meeting, later this evening. Councilmember Fenton reported review of this item at the April 5 Finance and Safety Committee. The Committee supports the reclassification request. Mr. Morrow noted the current Public Works Coordinator (Frank Iriarte) manages the Business Services Division of the Public Works Department. Duties in connection with this position have expanded and require Mr. Iriarte to assume a greater role of increased responsibility within the Department. Mr. Iriarte is responsible for planning and managing the goals and objectives for the division, which includes engineers, project manager, and administrative (as well as technical) personnel. He manages the 303 Fund; manages and administers the City's construction projects, and oversees the Public Works operations of the Emergency Operations Center when activated. Mr. Iriarte also manages sensitive issues that have City /region -wide impact upon the community, such as the Citrus Long- Horned Beetle and the Ecology Lead and Arsenic Contamination programs. After an analysis by Personnel staff, it is recommended that the Public Works Coordinator position be reclassified to that of Assistant Director and given a working title of Deputy Public Works Director. Setting a salary range of $5,982- $7,477, the additional cost to the City for 2004 is approximately $7,000.00. Mr. Morrow reported the position of Public Works Coordinator will be eliminated with the creation of this position; and finally, he recommended the position reclassification be made retroactive to January 1, 2004. Council discussed the reclassification and spoke favorably on the subject. Consensus existed to forward this item to the April 19, 2004 Regular meeting for action. c. Supplemental Agreement No. 1 to AG 02 -036. with KPG, Inc., modifying the scope of services, time for performance and payment, relative to South 144`" Street. Councilmember Hernandez reported review of this item at the March 22 Transportation Committee meeting. She reported that although no formal action is required, the Committee wanted Council to see the supplement to the currently existing contract, which is within budget. The Committee had one concern with the potential relocation of a bus stop near True Value Hardware. In reference to the South 150 Street Road Improvement project, which included undergrounding (current) overhead power lines, Mr. Morrow noted part of the costs with that project were to pay Seattle City Light $100,000.00 to perform the "design." In this case, staff proposes to give that "design" for the undergrounding portion of the contract to KPG, Inc. It will save Tukwila money in the "up -front design aspect" as well as savings in not paying for claims City of Tukwila City Council Committee of Whole Minutes Page 4 of 10 April 12, 2004 and change orders in association with the design, as Seattle City Light is not accustomed to creating designs to the same standards Tukwila must meet. Discussion took place between staff and Council. It was noted KPG, Inc., subcontracted with CASNE Engineering to design the undergrounding conversion for expediency. The draft design report is completed and the half- street frontage improvements for the Cascade View Community Park are constructed. In response to an inquiry from Councilmember Fenton, Mr. Morrow reported the bus stop will be moved to the west of 37 Street. The cost impact of the project is $98,154.82, bringing the total (of this contract) to $282,236.24. Monies for the project will be taken from the Commercial Streets (104.02) Fund. Additional discussion ensued with staff answering Council inquiries and providing clarification where necessary. No action is required on this item. Staff will route the contract amendment through normal process for signatures. d. Supplemental Agreement No. 3 to AG 99 -050, with Perteet Engineering, Inc.. agreeing upon a negotiated fee in relation to an additional scope of services relative to Tukwila International Boulevard Phase I. Councilmember Hernandez reported review of this item at the March 22 Transportation Committee. There, it was recommended the item be forwarded to this meeting for consideration and discussion. Mr. Morrow noted this, too, is for additional work the design firm had to perform associated with Tukwila International Boulevard. The original contract was for design and construction engineering services. The additional work associated with this contract supplement includes right -of -way acquisition, right -of- way plan revisions, design revisions, WSDOT approvals, Seattle City Light coordination of undergrounding, signalization, channelization (striping on road surface), street lighting, landscaping, signage, additional meetings and coordination with staff and the public, as well as coordination for the design of South 144 Street. Interestingly, Mr. Morrow noted WSDOT has changed the channelization of the roadway five separate times. This has taken considerable staff time and effort to settle. An issue the City had to work out with WSDOT was that of "clear zoning." This means the City must provide "so much clear area from the back of the curb to an obstruction, dependent upon the speed of the highway." In this instance, the City had to convince WSDOT that it was illogical to require 17 feet of clear area. There are buildings which sit closer than 17 feet to the back of the curb. Another very important issue raised by Mr. Morrow was the fact that it took City staff over six months' negotiation time with WSDOT staff to convince them of the need for pedestrian crossing on "the Highway." Staff was required to work with 56 property owners to acquire right -of -way or easements. Some of the owners were asked to give up less than one foot of property, yet an agreement was required with each owner. Through all of the coordination of staff time and project changes, much time passed before City staff could finally negotiate a contract amendment amount with Perteet Engineers. Discussion took place and Mr. Morrow answered questions and provided clarification on many issues. In response to an inquiry from Mr. Fenton, Mr. Morrow noted Mayor Mullet was present at the "signing City of Tukwila City Council Committee of Whole Minutes Page 5 of 10 April 12, 2004 ceremony" wherein Governor Gary Locke formally turned over ownership of Tukwila International Boulevard from WSDOT to the City of Tukwila. Ownership legally takes effect 90 -days post signature of the order. No action is required on this item. Staff will route the contract amendment through normal process for signatures. e. Award a contract to Pride Electric, Inc., in the amount of $67,347.20, for an Emergency Operations Center generator installation project. Councilmember Carter reported review and approval of this item at the April 6 Utilities Committee meeting. She noted that after the Nisqually Earthquake and subsequent gridlock in the Central Business District, staff agreed the Golf and Park Maintenance Building was the best place to serve as the Emergency Operations Center. Ms. Carter noted possession of a previously acquired generator which requires being brought up to current UL standards. Once that occurs, the generator must be installed. To that end, a Call for Bids was sent out and four bids were opened. The project includes a new transfer switch, related electrical devices, an enclosure to match building architecture and fencing for security. While the generator includes a self- contained fuel tank and electrical work is currently underway, there is a need to raise a low -lying power transformer from a flood prone area. Finally, it was stated the contingency for this item is small as no major cost overruns are expected. Consensus existed to forward this item to the April 19 Regular meeting for action. f. Property acquisition, in the amount of $60,000.00, near the 56` Avenue South Bridge for the Sanitary Sewer Lift Station in the Foster Point Neighborhood. Also at the April 6 Utilities Committee meeting, Councilmember Carter reported the City needs to acquire property outside the right -of -way for construction of a sanitary sewer lift station to serve the Foster Point neighborhood. The station needs to be located near the Foster Point Bridge. That being said, the Wheaton property is the best location. To avoid condemnation proceedings, City staff has negotiated a purchase price of $60,000.00 for the property. One note regarding the project installation of the lift station is slated for summer, 2004. Additionally, it was noted an easement will be in effect for the property until installation of sewers is complete. Then, Mr. Wheaton will complete a short plat and a new 1,200 square foot parcel will be created and owned by the City. Joanne McManus. 5610 South 133 Street. Tukwila, spoke in opposition to the suggested purchase price as being "too high." Ms. Carter reported that in order to avoid delays (legal and financial) to the project and siting the lift station elsewhere, staff believed this to be the best possible solution. Consensus existed to forward this item to the April 19 Regular meeting for action. g. A resolution reiectinq low bidder and awarding a contract to Totem Electric, in the amount of $194.905.00. for the Green River Valley Signal Interconnect. A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON, REJECTING THE BID SUBMITTED BY NORTH SKY COMMUNICATIONS, FOR THE GREEN RIVER VALLEY SIGNAL INTERCONNECT PROJECT; AND AWARDING THE BID TO TOTEM ELECTRIC, INC., IN THE AMOUNT OF $194,905.00 City of Tukwila City Council Committee of Whole Minutes Council consensus existed to forward this item to this evening's Special meeting. h. Tukwila Library Issues An update. Page 6 of 10 April 12, 2004 Councilmember Hernandez reported consideration of the proposed resolution at this evening's Transportation Committee meeting. For the record, Ms. Hernandez noted this project will result in all traffic signals being coordinated along West Valley Highway and South 180 Street in Tukwila, Renton and Kent. She stated interagency coordination will improve safety and reduce the congestion along the roads and freeway ramps. Mr. Morrow reported this project will include installation of approximately 30,200 linear feet of fiber optic cable, 14,100 linear feet of interconnect communication cable, conduit, junction boxes and related work. The project is being coordinated with the King County Trans Valley ITS project and will require permits from Renton, Kent and WSDOT. Ms. Hernandez noted the apparent low bidder (North Sky Communications, an Oregon Corporation) did not include sales tax in their bid and was eliminated as non responsive. To that end, the next lowest bidder, Totem Electric of Tacoma, Inc., is being suggested for the project. Councilmember Linder reported review of this item at the Community Affairs and Parks Committee on March 23. With just three members of the Council at the Committee meeting, no decisions were made. Calling the issue difficult, Ms. Linder reminded Council of previously distributed minutes, memorandums and letters from that meeting. Discussion ensued. Ms. Carter reported visiting the Tukwila Library today. She reported the only adult books present are the "choice reads." Also present is a good set of reference materials, standard classics, some novels, compact discs, and juvenile videos. The library, as re -done, is primarily oriented toward younger children. Additionally, there are many more computers than previously provided. Referring to minutes /notes (prepared by City staff) from a March 17, 2004 meeting between Tukwila and King County Library Services (KCLS) staff, Ms. Linder pointed out the following sentence "He [Bill Ptacek] argued that the biggest users of the Library had been youth who came after school." She then asked if those youth are served by this change (in hours /service). That question was cause for debate among Council. Councilmember Robertson provided what was characterized as "potentially new information." Said information included minutes of the previously mentioned meeting, provided by KCLS staff, which may slightly differ from those written by City staff. Mr. Robertson provided his viewpoints on the existence of the interlocal agreement with KCLS. Of importance to Mr. Robertson is the fact the City is "in the middle" between KCLS and the community. This is not a good position in which to be. For that reason, he spoke with City Attorney Shelley Kerslake. Together, Mr. Robertson and Ms. Kerslake came up with an idea to present a proposal to KCLS asking them to return the Tukwila Library back to its previous situation (full service to include at least 34 -hours per week, a complete collection of materials, etc.) for a reasonable period of time, such as two years. If they live up to that, the other part of the idea includes the interlocal agreement would cease at the end of the two -year period. During that two years, however, the City would challenge the community members to use the library. We could do that with increased signage, more Hazelnut articles and "a variety of other ways." Raising the issue of adequate signage at the Tukwila Library, Ms. Berry noted someone in the Department of Community Development has been assigned to work with KCLS staff. KCLS staff questioned the City's "strict sign code" and therefore has not done anything with that issue in the past. City of Tukwila City Council Committee of Whole Minutes Page 7 of 10 April 12, 2004 Anna Bernhard. 14241 59th Avenue South. Tukwila. spoke in favor of the proposal and asked why KCLS didn't simply suggest a difference in hours in the past, rather than unilaterally changing the interlocal agreement altogether. Council agreed that upon Ms. Kerslake's return from vacation, a new proposal could be worked to include Mr. Robertson's thoughts as well as points made during this meeting. Once created, the new proposal is to be reviewed by the Community Affairs and Parks Committee. Consideration of Revised City Council Travel Guidelines /Policv. Councilmember Fenton reported considerable amounts of work to the Council Travel Policy in recent Finance and Safety Committee meetings. To that end, a new Proposed Council Travel Guidelines policy has been created and is presented for Council review. Councilmember Hernandez noted re- hashing of this item over the past several years as budget dollars keep reducing. Noting an equality among all Councilmembers with all having the same "interests, needs and the right to use part of that budget for whatever travel" they'd like to use, Ms. Hernandez noted the proposal is to allocate each Councilmember a certain, equal amount of travel dollars per budget year. Those funds not used by any particular Councilmembers would then go into a "pool" from which all would have access for additional travel. A simplified form for "shared funds" may be created as reported by Mr. Fenton. Ms. Lauterbach noted travel funds are to cover all related travel costs with the exception of registrations (i.e., airfare, hotel, and meals). Hearing Ms. Hernandez' (and the Committee's) recommendation spurred debate among Councilmembers. Many provided personal opinions and /or beliefs with regard the proposal. Councilmember Fenton made two notes. The first is that as it currently stands, the $17,000.00 budgeted for travel in 2004 is not enough in light of those trips already planned. Conversely, after some research and /or inquiry, Councilmember Carter noted an actual opportunity for a potential $5,000.00 surplus. Additional debate ensued and resulted in her desire to re -apply for additional funds, for which she was previously denied. Secondly, it was reported that travel for Lucy Lauterbach, Legislative Analyst, also comes from this fund. Thus the potential need for the currently budgeted $17,000.00. Anna Bernhard. 14241 59th Avenue South. Tukwila. asked why unspent funds from one year don't roll over to the next year for use in that (following) year. Council President Haggerton and Councilmember Fenton briefly explained policies and practices on unspent funds. Joanne McManus. 5610 South 133 Street. Tukwila, spoke in favor of allowing three Councilmembers to attend any given meeting or conference where travel funds must be used. Council consensus existed to continue working the draft guidelines and bring them back to a future Finance and Safety Committee. j. Transportation Impact Fees Update. Councilmember Hernandez reported review of this item at tonight's Transportation Committee meeting. She noted that recent legal challenges to the City's Concurrency Ordinance, specifically to the impact mitigation fee methodology, have created a need for us to modify the ordinance and update the Mitigation Fee list. Finally, Ms. Hernandez noted that a more full review and future amendments will be made to the ordinance. This proposed ordinance and impact fee list is a "temporary fix" to a current problem. City staff will do additional work in the near future. Currently, however, to avoid further legal challenges, the proposed ordinance and list must be considered. City of Tukwila City Council Committee of Whole Minutes Page 8 of 10 April 12, 2004 Cvndv Knighton. Senior Engineer. Public Works. reported staff is working to bring our Concurrency ordinance into compliance with Washington State statute and the Growth Management Act (GMA). Some new language is introduced and, for clarity of purpose, there is improved order of the language and better division of the sections. An additional, self- imposed need for review is due to impending development. Ms. Knighton explained concurrency is a "yes /no" issue of whether facilities are adequate now or in the future to handle new growth. If the answer is "yes" there is no issue. If the answer is "no," developers must pay traffic impact fees. Additionally, traffic studies must be done to determine the number of trips their business is expected to add to the current traffic. The City's Impact Fee list must be updated to include current project costs, must eliminate completed projects no longer requiring development contribution, and must introduce new projects required to maintain the City's established level of service standard(s). Within the confines of the City of Tukwila Comprehensive Plan, staff is given authority to update the impact fee list on a regular basis at least every two years or in conjunction with the annual update to the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). At the January 26, 2004 Transportation Committee meeting, staff was given policy direction that no individual cost per -trip fee should exceed $2,500.00. The GMA required that "reasonable" financial assumptions be made when establishing impact fees, carefully balancing between impact fees and other sources of public funds. Thus, the City is not allowed to rely solely on impact fees to finance public facilities. Given both the policy direction and the legal requirements of the GMA, staff has developed a possible option for the updated Impact Fee list. That list was provided in this evening's Council agenda packet and was reviewed by Ms. Knighton. Speaking of peak volume differences and total improvement costs for particular projects in the current CIP, Ms. Knighton noted impact fees are collected for each project until the "Impact Fee Funded Amount" is fully collected. Also pointed out to Council on the current CIP listed projects were the expected mitigation, impact fee funded amounts and the average cost per trip. Much discussion ensued between staff and Council. Clarification was made where required and explanations were provided regarding written (provided) materials. Individual Councilmembers provided their thoughts and /or opinions on various aspects of the proposed impact fee list and ordinance. Local Improvement Districts (L. I. D.) and other options were raised, questioned and discussed. Consensus existed to continue reviewing and reworking the proposed items before bringing it back to the Transportation Committee. Should Councilmembers have ideas regarding the items, they were directed to provide them, in writing, to Ms. Hernandez before the next Transportation Committee meeting. k. An ordinance establishing a moratorium on social card game /gambling activities. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON, ESTABLISHING A SIX -MONTH MORATORIUM ON THE FILING OF APPLICATIONS FOR DEVELOPMENT PERMITS FOR FOOD OR DRINK ESTABLISHMENTS CONDUCTING SOCIAL CARD GAME GAMBLING ACTIVITIES; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY. Councilmember Fenton reported review of the proposed ordinance at the April 5 Finance and Safety Committee meeting. No questions or comments were given. Consensus existed to forward the item to this evening's Special meeting for action. City of Tukwila City Council Committee of Whole Minutes Page 9 of 10 April 12, 2004 REPORTS: a.

Council President Haggerton also attended the April 6 Tukwila Government Affairs Committee meeting and the April 9 Chamber of Commerce luncheon. Mr. Haggerton then asked Ms. Lauterbach to set a meeting date for the Council Priorities for 2004. Finally, Mr. Haggerton noted he'll be attending an "ITC Steering Committee" meeting in Louisville, Kentucky. Councilmember Carter attended the April 6 Tukwila Government Affairs Committee meeting and the April 9 Chamber of Commerce luncheon. She also attended the April 6 Utilities Committee meeting. Ms. Carter then reviewed her calendar for the upcoming week. Finally, Ms. Carter reported on recent activities of the Association of Washington Cities. Councilmember Linder attended the April 7 Southwest King County Economic Development Initiative Executive Committee meeting. Councilmember Robertson reported on the April 22 Literacy Night at Cascade View Elementary School and his desire for Councilmembers to attend to speak with community members regarding turnover in that school. Additionally, Mr. Robertson noted that upon Shelley Kerslake's (City Attorney) return from vacation, a specific date will be set for Ethics training and review of the City's Ethics Policy for all Councilmembers. Councilmember Fenton attended the April 6 Tukwila Government Affairs Committee meeting. c.
