Financial Policies
As a follow up to the August 22, 2005 Committee of the Whole meeting, I
have incorporated the proposed change to the financial policies. More
specifically, Policy DP-5 has been changed to read, "Assessment Debt (LID)
shall be considered as an alternative to General Debt." For the sake of
providing quick reference, the change to this policy statement is denoted
through underline and strikeout.
I look forward to reviewing the policies with you on Tuesday, September 6.
CITY OF TUKWILA
Debt Policies
The Debt Policies can be segregated into three areas: Legal Debt lilTIlts, PractIcal or
Fiscal limits and General Debt policies.
A. Legal Debt Limit - The Revised Code of Washington (RCW 39.36) establishes the
legal debt limits for cities. Specifically, this RCW provIdes that debt cannot be
incurred in excess of the following percentages of the value of the taxable property of
the City: 1.5% without a vote ofthe people; 2.5% with a vote ofthe people; 5.0%
with a vote ofthe people, provided the indebtedness in excess of 2.5% is for utIlities;
and 7.5% with a vote of the people, provided the indebtedness in excess of 5.0% is
for parks or open space development.
A sample schedule for the current 12 year penod IS attached to demonstrate the
impact certain projections would have on debt capacity lImitatIOns.
Policy DP-1 - Prior to issuing any long-term bonds, the Administration must provIde
an impact analysis over the life of the new bonds. Bond issues must be approved by
the City Council.
B. Practical or Fiscal Limitations - More important than the legal limitations is the
practical or fiscal limitations, i.e. ability to repay borrowed funds.
Policy DP-2 - Long-term debt cannot be issued pnor to reviewing the impact on the
Six Year Planning Model and its polIcy guidelines. The impact of other potential
bond issues shall be considered.
Policy DP-3 - Fiscal Policy for large developments. To be determined.
C. General Debt Policies
Policy DP-4 - The City will be cognizant of the criteria used by rating agencies to
maintarn the highest possible bond rating.
Policy DP-5 - Assessment Debt (LID) shall be considered as an alternativeis
preferred _to General debtDebt.
Policy DP-6 - Debt issuance will conform to IRS regulations and aVOId arbitrage
consequences.
CITY OF TUKWILA
Financial Planning Model Policies
The Six-Year Financial Planning Model and Capital Improvement Program is the
primary financial policy document. It represents the culminatIOn of all financIal policies.
Revenues
Policy FP-1 - Revenues will be estimated on a conservative baSIS. Increases
greater than inflation in Attachment A, Total Revenues and Expenditures, will
require additional documentation.
Policy FP-2 -Major revenue sources will require explanation in Attachment A-I,
Notes to Revenues.
Operations & Maintenance Expenditures
Policy FP-3 - ExpendItures for the General Fund operatIOns (Attachment B,
General Fund Operations & Maintenance Expenditures) will only mclude basic
inflationary increases at the beginning of the budget preparation process.
Proposed increases in programs or personnel will require an Issues and options
paper and Council approval before being added to the operations & maintenance
expenditures estimate.
Capital Expenditures
Policy FP-4 - Project capital grants with local matching requirements can only be
applied for with express approval by the CIty Council. Grant applicatIOns shall be
made only for projects listed in the six-year Capital Improvement Program.
Policy FP-5 - If the proposed grants or mitigation are eIther not funded or are
reduced, the respective project will be re-evaluated on the basis of its value and
priority level placement in the Capital Improvement Program.
Policy FP-6 - The financing of limited benefit capital improvements (i.e. private
development) should be borne by the primary beneficiaries of the improvement.
The principle underlying limited benefit IS that the property IS peculiarly benefited
and therefore the owners do not in fact pay anything in excess of what they
receive by reason of such improvement.
Fund Balances
Policy FP-7 - The General Fund will mamtain a designated $1,100,000 "Rainy
Day Fund" balance that is not included in Attachment A, Total Revenues &
Expenditures, of the Six -Year Plannmg Model. Furthennore, III order to assure a
mmimum cash flow scenano the Accumulated Totals wIthin the Six-Year
Plannmg Model may not recede below $3,000,000 m Attachment A, Total
Revenues & Expenditures.
PolIcy FP-8 - If compliance with Policy FP-7 is at risk; the Administration will
provide a list of revenue options, service level/program reductions or capItal
project deferrals for City Council consideration.
Enterprise Funds
Policy FP-9 - Each Enterprise Fund will be reviewed annually and it must have a
rate structure adequate to meet its operations & maintenance and long-term
capital requirements.
Policy FP-l 0 - Rate increases should be small, applied rrequently, and staggered
to avoid an overly burdensome increase and undue impact in any given year.
PolIcy FP-ll - Rate increases of external agencies (i.e. King County secondary
wastewater treatment fees) will be passed through to the users of the utility.
CITY OF TUKWILA
Other General Financial Policies
Policy GF-l- The City's various user charges and fees will be reviewed at least
every three years for proposed adjustments based on services provIded and
comparisons with other jurisdictions.
Policv GF-2 - The Finance Director will provide a fmancial status update at least
quarterly.
PolIcy GF-3 - Budget amendments during the year will be approved by budget
motion until the end ofthe budget year, when a formal comprehensive budget
amendment is submitted.
Policy GF-4 - Interfund loans will be permissible if practical. Interest rates will
be computed based on the annual average of the State Investment Pool earnmgs
rate.
Policy GF 5 - The CIty shall, whenever practIcal and advantageous, take
advantage of grants, loans, or other external financmg sources. With the
exception ofcapltal improvement program grants requirIng a local match, staff
shall report to and seek the approval of the appropriate council committee before
finalizing the grant.

COMMTITEE OF WHOLE MEffiNG
SPECIAL ISSUES:
c. Proposed Financial Policies
Council member Dennis Robertson reported review of the draft proposed financial policies on more than
one occasion by the Finance and Safety Committee meeting At their August 15, 2005 meeting, the
Committee agreed the policies are in "good shape" and should be forwarded to this meeting for review by
the full Council As Chair of the Finance and Safety Committee, Mr Robertson is hopeful the policies are
adopted/approved by the end of 2005 (while he is still Chair)
Kevin Fuhrer, Finance Director, reported the proposed polices are, for the most part, "things the City
currently does or practices," which should be put in writing Although not required by the Washington
State Auditor, the proposed policies were called a "good, internal control feature"
As each proposed policy was reviewed, Councilmembers voiced opinion and/or offered proposed edits.
Mr Fuhrer stood ready to respond to Council inquiries as well
Of particular interest to the Council were the following
~ Changing verbiage in a policy related to Local Improvement Districts (preferred vs shall be
considered),
~ Maintaining $1 1 million in "rainy day" funds, and $3 million surplus dollars in the general budget
each year; in the event it is impossible, administration must provide revenue options, including
service level/program reductions, capital project deferrals and/or staff reductions. It should be
noted the $1 1 million is NOT included in the "Attachment A" prepared each year in conjunction
with the budget;
~ Reporting a financial status update (by the Finance Director to Council) each quarter;
~ Recording of the adopted financial policies in the CIP, the annual budget, and within a resolution
Mr. Fuhrer noted proposed changes where necessary and will present the final draft financial
policies to the Council (at their request) at the September 6, 2005 Regular meeting.

Subject:
Proposed Community Development Block Grant Project for 2006
ISSUE
Under the new interlocal agreement between the City of Tukwila and King County, we may
apply to the south sub-regional pot of funds for the year 2006. The Minor Home Repair program
IS the only capital project that we are initiating. Major home repair will continue to be available
as funds are taken off the top of the King County Consortium's allocation.
BACKGROUND
As a reminder, under this new interlocal agreement, we lio longer receive a pass-through amount,
but need to competitively apply for eligible projects. In coordination with the City of SeaTac
staff, who also runs a minor home repair program like ours, we decided to submit a joint
application. Small projects are being discouraged, as such, it made sense to submit ajoint
application. The application came out the first week in August and is due to King County
tomorrow, August 22. Due to timing issues the County will accept Council authorizations post
submission of the application.
DISCUSSIONI ANAL YSIS/AL TERNATlVES
Committee needs to review and pass on to the entire Council. I have looked carefully at actual
expenditures for 2004 and 2005 and am estimating that $18,000 will cover our needs annually.
SeaTac is requesting $22,000. The majority of the homeowners receiving this service have
incomes that are below 30% of median income, or $16,350 for a household size of 1. The
program fills a substantiated need as evidenced by client feedback in 2004.

Franchise - Clear"ire Communications
ISSUE
Should City grant Clearwire Communications a franchise to install, maintain, and operate wireless
facilities within the City's right-of-way?
BACKGROUND
Clearwire is a new wireless internet carrier that is based out of Kirkland, Washington. The
telecommunications company is building a very extensive, high quality network that will provide fast,
affordable wireless broadband internet service to residential and commercial customers throughout the
Puget Sound area.
DISCUSSION
To support its wireless system, Clearwire is proposing to install wireless facilities within the City's
right-of-way. Wireless facilities will consist of panel antennas and microwave panels secured on new
or existing structures such as utility poles. The height above ground of the utility pole and
antenna/microwave system is approximately 54 feet. The antenna system will have associated coax
cable running down the pole to an equipment cabinet that would be installed in the right-of-way
adjacent to the utility pole.
Installation of wireless facilities in the City rights-of-way requires a franchise. In consultation with the
City Attorney's Office, Staff has completed a fmal draft Franchise Agreement (Attachment 1) for
Council consideration. The document incorporates provisions of the recently adopted City of Tukwila
Right-of-Way Use Code.
Council's review and deliberation of Clearwire's request is only to determine whether the franchise
should be granted. The granting of a franchise to Clearwire does not guarantee them a "right" to place
any facility in the City's right-of-way. Nor does it guarantee them any specific location for their
facilities.
Clearwire must submit for a right-of-way permit to place an antenna on a utility pole. Until that permit
is approved, Clearwire will not be allowed to work in the City's right-of-way. Furthermore, future
requests for additional wireless facilities will require submission of permits.
RECOMMENDATION
Forward to Utilities Committee, Committee of the Whole, and Council for franchise
approval/disapproval determination.

1. Clearwire Communications Franchise A2reement Dave introduced the tOpIC by
welcoming Brian and Walter, and saying high speed internet service providers like them were
very welcome m Tukwila. Clearwire is bmldmg a network of broadband wIreless connectIOns
from Everett to Tacoma. They are currently working wIth 70 jurisdictIOns to achIeve coverage in
the region. They have asked to put wIreless facIlitIes in the CIty'S rights of way The company is
interested in property near the reserv6ir at the top of sih Avenue m Tukwila. Antenna on utilIty
poles will be approximately S4 feet hIgh. Xoax cable would then run from the antenna to a
cabinet on the ground. The Clearwater representatives likened the coverage of their system to a
cell phone company. They said it would be especIally useful for sales and for delIvery
companies. A person would need a modem to use the system at the start, though In three years
they anticipate mOVIng to issuing a card to subscribing users who then wouldn't need a modem.
Joan asked if the facilIties would affect residents. Jim M said the antenna emIt mIcrowaves that
have been found by the FCC to be safe. Jim H asked If it would mterfere with our video system,
and was told It would not. The franchIse will run for three years. Recommend franchise
agreement to COW and SpeciallVleetin2 AU2ust 23rd.
2. Federal Telecommunications Bill A bill that was defeated last year has agam been
mtroduced in the U.S. Senate thIS year. If enacted, it would have dire consequences on control
of our own nghts of way, franchise agreements, and could require the CIty to let private mdustry
control our signal interconnects, for example. Jim H noted there is already plenty of competltIOn
In our right of way, and we don't need federal interference in that. GIving total control of our
right of way to a private company would be bad for the City. The Senate is working on a total re-
wnte of the Federal TelecommunicatIOns Act, and if passed thIs bill would be part of the Act.
Awe has sent out an alert on the issue. Information; lobby against the bill.
3. Second Quarter Reports The Commitfee members questIOned Jim M on the status ofthe
Allentown sewers. He replied they will hear sometime thIs month about whether they got the
Public Works Trust Fund loan needed to do the work. Cascade View work IS proceedmg on
schedule. The first phase is SO% complete, and the neighborhood is cooperatmg. Reports
approved.

of-way for installation of wireless systems is appropriate from the standpoint of the benefits to
be derived by local business and the region as a result of such services, and

restricted to allow for the construction of amenities necessary to serve the future needs of the

employees, carried on in the furtherance of the rights, benefits, and privileges granted to
Clearwire by this Franchise. In the event any claim or demand is presented to or filed with the

fault. The City shall have the right at all times to participate through its own attorney in any
