An ordinance to remove the City Council from certain quasi judicial decision making processes (Administrative Appeals process) AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON, AMENDING TMC 18.104.010 TO REMOVE THE CITY COUNCIL FROM CERTAIN QUASI- JUDICIAL DECISION MAKING PROCESSES; REPEALING ORDINANCE NOS. 1768 §2 (PART), 1796 §3 (PART), 1841 §2, 1857 2005 §20, 2066 §2, 2097 §22, AND 2098 §4; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Shelley Kerslake. City Attorney,, noted that after Council adjudicated an appeal earlier in 2005, informal discussions led to a review of the administrative appeals process and the possibility of streamlining the process for those appeals specifically related to matters of land use. As a result of that review, the newly proposed ordinance is presented for consideration. In short, under the proposed ordinance, administrative decisions would be appealed to the City's Hearing Examiner, instead of the City Council. Depending upon the Type (1 5) of appeal, the Hearing Examiner will hold a hearing, create the official record and render a decision. In cases of closed- record hearings, the Hearing Examiner will review the record and render a decision based on the law, as applied to the record. In cases where an appeal of the Hearing Examiner's decision is desired, such cases are filed and adjudicated in King County Superior Court. City of Tukwila Page 3 of 9 City Council Committee of Whole Meetina Minutes November 14. 2005 The City Attorney noted the proposed ordinance is consistent with larger cities on matters of land use, and takes the City Council out of most quasi judicial matters. As the currently proposed ordinance is written, the City Council will retain jurisdiction over matters of re- zones, final plat approvals and shoreline environment re- designations. The quasi judicial matters are few (two since Ms. Kerslake has been with the City) and Hearing Examiner costs are reasonable. She spoke in favor of the proposed ordinance. Pamela Linder, Council President, reported review of the proposed ordinance in the October 11, 2005 Community Affairs and Parks Committee. The only recommendation from the Committee was to forward it to a Committee of Whole for discussion and consideration. Councilmember Robertson noted the table in the proposed ordinance in this evening's packet doesn't show who the current decision makers are. He then pointed out differences between the current ordinance and that which is proposed. Further, Mr. Robertson spoke in favor of the City Council retaining jurisdiction of some matters. Specifically, he began with (Type 4) Reasonable Use Exceptions under Sensitive Area Ordinance; and (Type 5) Unclassified Use Permits. Such words as "materially detrimental to public welfare" and "injurious" and "compatible generally" appear within related sections of the Tukwila Municipal Code, and he stated his opinion that such words are subjective and require judgment calls. Councilmember Carter suggested review of the proposed ordinance Type by Type. Where concerns exist, they may be raised. Otherwise, there is no need to spend time within one section Type. Councilmember Hernandez is interested in the City Council retaining jurisdiction over several matters that are proposed to be appealed to the Hearing Examiner. She said the process should change gradually as an issue of trust exists when change occurs. As the Councilmembers know the community members better than the Hearing Examiner does, Ms. Hernandez encouraged the Council to "start slowly," in releasing their control over matters until such time that we've had an opportunity to review results of the Hearing Examiner's decisions. Councilmembers Carter and Haggerton each noted they would also like to discuss at least one change. Ms. Carter asked staff to review the various Types of decisions for clarity. Jack Pace. Deputy Director. Community Development, explained the various decision Types, gave examples of each and reminded Council who heard the appeals on those Types. Type 1 decisions are made by the Director of Community Development and are appealable to the Hearing Examiner. Little to no discretion exists when making these decisions. Type 2 decisions are also made by the Director of Community Development and are appealable to the Hearing Examiner, Planning Commission, or in cases of shoreline permits, the State Shorelines Hearings Board. Type 3 decisions are made by the City's Hearing Examiner. Type 4 decisions are made by the City's Planning Commission or Board of Architectural Review and are appealable to the State Shorelines Hearings Board, Hearing Examiner or City Council. Type 5 decisions are quasi judicial issues decided by the Hearing Examiner or City Council after an open record hearing. Currently, these matters are appealable only to the King County Superior Court. With that understanding, Council began a review of each of the section of the proposed ordinance to determine who would hear appeals on each decision Type. Consensus existed to leave Type 1 decisions as they appear in the proposed ordinance. Consensus existed to leave Type 3 decisions as they appear in the proposed ordinance. City of Tukwila Page 4 of 9 City Council Committee of Whole Meetina Minutes November 14. 2005 Type 2 decisions: Council discussed a sense of "giving up control" on appeal hearings in two Type 2 decision areas: 1) Special Permissions Parking Modifications to Certain Parking Standards Permits, and 2) Parking standards for use not specified. As presented in the proposed ordinance these items will be appealable to the City's Hearing Examiner. Brief discussions were held and Councilmembers spoke in favor of allowing those matters to be appealed to the Hearing Examiner as presented in the proposed ordinance. Consensus existed to leave those decisions as they appear in the proposed ordinance. Family Design Standards was discussed. Mr. Pace provided an example and Councilmember Carter spoke in opposition to changing something newly created. This is relative to the City's newly created ordinance allowing a demonstration project to include cottage housing.

Modifications to Certain Parking Standards Questioned by Councilmember Carter, Mr. Pace gave an example of this decision.

Subdivision Final Plat Mr. Pace described an example of final plat approval. Discussion was held. Consensus existed to accept that portion as presented. Planned Residential Development Mr. Pace described a planned residential development permit. After little discussion, consensus existed for Council to maintain control of these appeals.

City of Tukwila Page 5 of 9 City Council Committee of Whole Meeting Minutes November 14. 2005 With the foregoing policy direction from Council, Mr. Pace noted changes would be made to the final draft ordinance and presented to Council. That version will also include correct citations of and within the Tukwila Municipal Code. FOR ACTION, CONSENSUS EXISTED TO FORWARD THIS ITEM TO THE NOVEMBER 21, 2005 REGULAR AGENDA. b.

The Community Affairs and Parks Committee reviewed and approved this item at their October 25, 2005 meeting and asked that it be forwarded to the Committee of Whole. FOR ACTION, CONSENSUS EXISTED TO FORWARD THIS ITEM TO THE NOVEMBER 21, 2005 REGULAR AGENDA. c. Amendment #1 to AG 00 -080. Watershed Basins within Water Resources Inventory Area 9 Interlocal Aareement Mayor Mullet explained the interlocal Tukwila entered into with 15 other cities (all within the WRIA) is about to expire after five years. Members of that group agreed to fund a five -year habitat assessment plan through December 31, 2005. The goal of the agreement is to guide local jurisdictions in the recovery of Chinook salmon by formulating and implementing a related plan. That plan has been created. Now, a one -year extension is suggested to implement the plan and pursue funding sources. The City has budgeted $18,000.00 per year for this contract. Tukwila's anticipated expenditure is under budget at $13,569.00. FOR ACTION, CONSENSUS EXISTED TO FORWARD THIS ITEM TO THE NOVEMBER 21, 2005 REGULAR AGENDA. d. A resolution ratifying the Green /Duwamish and Central Puget Sound Watershed Salmon Habitat Plan A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON, RATIFYING THE GREEN /DUWAMISH AND CENTRAL PUGET SOUND WATERSHED, WATER RESOURCE INVENTORY AREA (WRIA -9) SALMON HABITAT PLAN, "MAKING OUR WATERSHED FIT FOR A KING." Mayor Mullet reported Tukwila (and all other WRIA 9 cities) are being asked to ratify the WRIA 9 Salmon Habitat Plan, entitled "Making our Watershed Fit for a King." Councilmember Robertson offered his copy of the plan to anyone wanting to review it. He served as a Committee member for WRIA. The Mayor spoke of the important need for a viable population of salmon, as well as having all populations of the Chinook salmon removed from the endangered species list. Additionally, he noted Tukwila has the most critical chunk of waterway for the whole watershed." Adding to that, Mr. Robertson reported that based on science, the Chinook salmon spend months in Tukwila, adjusting to the mix of salt water and fresh water before heading out to sea and later returning to Tukwila. With no easy solution in sight, Mayor Mullet reported this issue would be reviewed, discussed and handled for many years to come. FOR ACTION, CONSENSUS EXISTED TO FORWARD THIS ITEM TO THE NOVEMBER 21, 2005 REGULAR AGENDA. City of Tukwila Page 6 of 9 City Council Committee of Whole Meetina Minutes November 14. 2005 e. Storm and Surface water rates and charges: (1) An ordinance relating to storm and surface water rates and charges AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON, AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 1932, AS CODIFIED AT SECTION 14.32 OF THE TUKWILA MUNICIPAL CODE, RELATING TO STORM AND SURFACE WATER RATES AND CHARGES; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Councilmember Haggerton reported review and approval of the proposed ordinance at the November 1, 2005 Utilities Committee meeting. There, committee members spoke in favor of creating minor increases over a period of time as opposed to making a large increase all at once. Jim Morrow, Public Works Director, noted the issue was first discussed over one year ago at the Utilities Committee. Considering options for required increases, it was agreed at that time that smaller increases over a period of time are indeed, better than a large increase in one lump sum. He noted Tukwila has been successful in keeping rates low, especially compared to those charged by neighboring cities. Mr. Morrow relayed there has been significant increases in the costs associated with materials, due to the rising cost of oil. Where contractors formerly guaranteed pricing on products for a period of 90 days, that time has been reduced to 24 to 72 hours. Although there are no proposed increases for water in 2006, the City anticipates increases to the sewer and surface water charges. After a brief discussion by Council, it was learned that for surface water bills, the average residential bill would rise from $26 every six months to $31 for the same amount of time. Businesses will experience higher bills than residents. Councilmember Carter asked for price comparison charts when discussing future (proposed) increases. She would like to know what other jurisdictions are charging. Discussed between staff and Council was the way rates are calculated and determined. Councilmember Carter asked for a price comparison chart when future rate increases occur as a way to 1) compare what other cities charge; and 2) show how Tukwila's rates are still lower than, or in the median of what other jurisdictions charge for similar services. FOR ACTION, CONSENSUS EXISTED TO FORWARD THIS ITEM TO THE NOVEMBER 21, 2005 REGULAR AGENDA. (2) A resolution adopting a Public Works Fee Schedule A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON, ADOPTING A PUBLIC WORKS FEE SCHEDULE. Councilmember Haggerton reported review and approval of the proposed resolution at the November 1, 2005 Utilities Committee meeting. Committee members believe it is easier to amend fees when appearing in resolution form. Mr. Morrow spoke in favor of the proposed resolution and stated his preference that all fees (being charged by Public Works) be included on a single sheet as opposed to being listed in different and varying sections of the Tukwila Municipal Code (via ordinance). Councilmember Haggerton spoke of the services received by Tukwila residents for their money. He said, We get a lot for what we pay for." Specifically, he praised the truck that "vacuums drains" to ensure leaves and other objects are clear and prevent standing water or water hazards. Mr. Morrow agreed to pass on that praise to his staff. FOR ACTION, CONSENSUS EXISTED TO FORWARD THIS ITEM TO THE NOVEMBER 21, 2005 REGULAR AGENDA. City of Tukwila Page 7 of 9 City Council Committee of Whole Meeting Minutes November 14. 2005 CONSENSUS EXISTED TO CONSIDER REPORTS BEFORE REVIEWING THE BUDGET. REPORTS: a.

First, do you (each Councilmember) want to hold the retreat out of town? And, second, do you have items to add to the Retreat agenda? Councilmember Robertson spoke in favor of holding a retreat out of town. Additionally, he reported past attendance to a class facilitated by Chuck Goll wherein he taught participants to listen (and not provide feedback to presenters) as complex and /or sensitive issues are being presented. It's only after all materials have been presented that Councilmembers could speak and /or offer input on the item being presented. This could be a 3- or 4 -hour class. The Councilmember also spoke in favor of having key staff such as Rhonda Berry and Jane Cantu attending the same session. Council President Linder liked the idea and would like it to be a -day session. Consensus existed to have a' /2 -day session facilitated by Mr. Goll.

The next issue discussed was germane to the Council Retreat as it encompassed scheduling. Potential conflicts in terms of dates /times were noted by Lucy Lauterbach, Legislative Analyst. As there was no clear answer as to when the retreat could be scheduled, Ms. Lauterbach was tasked with discussing emerging issues with City staff and determining the best possible dates. Mr. Robertson spoke in favor of having the Y2 -day training session (at the retreat) before Council is presented with issues related to the Tukwila South project (developer's agreement, etc.). He'd like to incorporate the practices learned during the session as Council receives the Tukwila South information. City of Tukwila Page 8 of 9 City Council Committee of Whole Meetina Minutes November 14. 2005 Mayor Mullet suggested the class mentioned by Mr. Robertson could be scheduled before the Council Retreat, perhaps in Council Chambers, to include key staff. Council was amenable to that suggestion. Ms. Lauterbach agreed to work with Jane Cantu, City Clerk, and Lisa Verner, Project Coordinator for the Tukwila South project to learn when items are currently scheduled and determine a clear retreat date.
