Appointl1!ents to Sister Cities Committee
May 13,2005
I am pleased to submit the application of Mike Easter, who has applied to be a member of our
Sister CIties Committee. He would fill the vacancy III Position #4, created when Brian Kennedy
resigned from the Committee earlier this year.
Mr. Easter and hIS daughter were part of the recent delegation to Ikawa. I have reviewed hIS
applIcatIOn, and recommend his appointment to Position -Hi with his term expiring December
31.2006.
Also, Billy Georgiadis (Position #1) has moved out of the city and no longer qualIfies for the
Resident position, so I am recommending that he be moved to PosItIOn #7, the Mayor's
Representative, as he would like to continue to serve on the Board and PosItIOn #7 has been
vacant for some time. His tenn in Position #7 would expire December 31,2006.
Unless I hear otherwise from members ofthe Council, I will be inviting Mr. Easter to the
Regular City Council Meeting on Monday, June 20, 2005 to have his appointment confiffi1ed.
Thank you.

EXCERPTED MINUTES
TUKWILA cm COUNCIL
May 23[ 2005
COMMITTEE OF WHOLE MEETING
SPECIAL ISSUES
c Proposed chanqes to TMC Title 19 - Siqnaqe
Councilmember Duffie noted review and recommendation of the proposed amendments at the April 26
Community Affairs and Parks Committee meeting.
Brandon Miles, Assistant Planner, Department of Community Development, noted Council was briefed on
these issues in March at a Committee of Whole meeting Originally presented as six proposed
amendments, Council bifurcated them and two were remanded back to the Community Affairs and Parks
Committee for additional r.eview Since being remanded, staff has re-worked the issues and created the
proposed changes presented in writing for this meeting
Mr Miles noted proposed grammar changes and edits for the items and answered Council inquiries
relative to the scoreboards being permitted at sports fields located in the LOR zone with a public
recreation overlay and video displays (on scoreboards) being permitted at sports stadiums with a seating
capacity of greater than 2,000 people
As the original four items (presented in March) have not yet come back to Council for adoption, Mr Miles
noted all six will be encapsulated into one ordinance and returned to Council for public hearing (at an
unspecified June, 2005 date)
On an unrelated issue, Councilmember Duffie raised the legality and use of (human) A-board signs and
large, tall signs in the City's business district. He finds them disturbing and potentially dangerous to
passersby
Both Steve Lancaster, Director of Community Development and Mr Miles reported recent legal
challenges opposing allowance of "human signs" have been lost by the City of Redmond and Kitsap
County Citing "first amendment" rights, the use of such signs are typically permitted Both agreed legal
decisions are against cities in regulating such signs.
In another unrelated issue, it was suggested that Code Enforcement Officers be allowed to retrieve
illegally posted signs and requiring businesses to pay for their return Council agreed that paying to
retrieve signs "sounds like a good idea." Finally, Mr Lancaster noted the use of illegal signs often occurs
on the weekends when Code Enforcement personnel do not work. If staff numbers are increased in that
division, he would anticipate/expect them to rotate and work proactive patrol of various (not all)
weekends.
FOR ACTION/CONSIDERATION, CONSENSUS EXISTED TO FORWARD THIS TO THE NEXT
REGULAR MEETING.

SUBJECT: Request for Shorelme Management Plan Amendment
L05-030 TukwIla South (Segale PropertIes)
ISSUE
Annexation of the Tukwila South area will require that the City amend its Shorelme Management Plan
to provIde the appropriate designation to the newly annexed shorelme.
BACKGROUND
The Washington State Shoreline Management Act requires that CIties designate newly annexed
shoreline areas Urban, Rural, Conservancy or Natural within one year of annexation. Cities may also
"pre-designate" areas such that the new designation will become effective immediately upon annexation.
Segale Properties has requested that the CIty pre-designate the Tukwila South shoreline area "Urban."
Tukwila's Shorelme Management Plan specifies that shoreline amendments be processed under the
requirements of Chapter 18.80 TMC. As required by TMC 18.80.040, staff distributed a Staff Report on
the proposal to Council on June 6, 2005, two weeks prior to the scheduled June 20 Public Meeting at
which Council will consider how to proceed with the request.
ALTERNATIVES
At its June 20 Public Meeting the City Council will have the following alternatives:
o Refer the proposed amendment to the Planning CommissiOn for reVIew and recommendatiOn;
o Defer the proposed amendment for one or more years to allow further evaluatiOn; or
o Rej ect the proposed amendment.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Community Affairs and Parks Committee reviewed this issue at itS June 14, 2005 meeting. The
Committee recommends that the matter be referred to the Planning CommissiOn for review and
recommendatiOn.

~
1. Shoreline Master Plan lVlap Because the TVS annexation area includes shoreline, the CIty
will need to amend its Shorelme Management Plan to include a use designatlOn for the shorelme
The applicant prefers it be designated "Urban", and DCD staff agreed that was appropriate DennIs
asked for a table showmg what is allowed m Kmg County's Rural DIstrict as well as m TukwIla's
Urban shorelme district. A publIc meetmg will be held June 20, and the Council has options to
pass the amendment request on to the Planning Commission, defer consideratlOn, or rej ect the
request. Recommend amendment to Regular lVleeting for Council approval.
2. Changes in Interlochl Agreement for CDBG Funding Due to declining federal funds and
increasing administrative costs at the County level, a new interlocal agreement between the pass-
through and other cities has been drafted. This new agreement makes fundmg allocations
available at the sub-reglOnallevel; north and east and south. South King County wIll receive the
same proportion of funding that would have been available with the indlVidual pass-through
system. Tukwila, will not receive a pass-through allocation in 2006. Funds will still be
available for housing repair and homelessness prevention, as these funds will come off the top of
the regional allocation. Tukwila will need to compete with other applIcations from cities and
human service providers. This applies to projects such as mmor home repair, nutritlOn
education and any capital project that is internal to the City. Utility connection assistance will
still be available through the Kmg County Housing RepaIr program.
Cities and agencies will submit their projects to the County. They will then be reviewed by sub-
regional city representatives who will meet to recommend how to allocate funds m the sub-
region. Those recommendations will go to the Joint Recommendations Committee, composed of
representatives from suburban cities, King County, City of Seattle (for Home and RHAP funds
only) and cIties considered Joint Agreement cities. Finally, JRC recommendations will go to the
King County Executive and the County Council.
Dave asked about the process and Evie said that some of it is still being worked out. It is
anticipated that everyone may not get their capital requests funded immediately, but in
subsequent years will be in a better position If they apply. The Committee accepted Evie's
recommendation for the new process. Recommend interlocal agreement to CO\V.
3. Tom Foster Request Tom Foster is a developer who owns 14 single-family lots on 51st on
Ryan Hill. He said his options are to build fourteen 20-foot wide homes, but he hoped to be able
to use the alternative housing that had been discussed previously in Committee. He has built
several large homes recently, and there is a ready market for those homes. He would like to
consolidate lots to be able to do somethmg similar on his consolidated lots. The Committee
talked about the need for cottage housing m Tukwila for empty nesters and those moving into a
smaller home. In the end the Committee agreed they would proceed when DCD comes back to
the Committee with more infonnatlOn on alternative housing. Information.
