Please contact the City Clerk's Office at 206 433 -1800 for assistance. To: INFORMATION MEMORANDUM Mayor Steven M. Mullet City Councilmembers City Administrator Rhonda Berry From: Kevin A. Fuhrer, Finance Director a Date: May 29, 2007 Subject: Declaration of Surplus Property 7210 S. 180 and 7220 S. 180 ISSUE: Declaring the properties located at 7210 and 7220 S. 1 80 Street surplus to the City's needs. BACKGROUND: In 2001 the City acquired the above referenced properties in association with the S. 180 Street Underpass Capital Improvement Project. The 7210 and 7220 properties are commonly referred to as the Candle Shop and Crystal Springs Warehouse respectively. The project management team utilized office space in the warehouse throughout the construction term. Both properties have since been underutilized DISCUSSION: The Candle Shop is in a deteriorated state and should likely be demolished. The Crystal Springs Warehouse, while admittedly in a better condition, does show signs of moderate earthquake damage stemming from the Nisqually seismic event. In addition, it was necessary this past winter to perform repairs on the flat roof. Furthermore, administration has evaluated the feasibility of utilizing one or both of the properties, however it was determined that the associated repairs and service modifications necessary for City use are cost prohibitive. Moreover, during the past 18 months a number of outside parties have expressed interest in purchasing the properties. In March 2007, the City commissioned the services of an appraiser to ascertain a fair market valuation. The appraisal totaled $480,000 in a current "as is" condition. Given the physical layout of the properties and ingress /egress considerations, the parcels were commonly valued. The procedures for a sale of City property are codified in Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) Chapter 2.64. The salient points of the TMC are: Property Appraisal Council Authorization To Sell At A Minimum Price City Clerk Publishes A Call For Bids At Least (5) Calendar Days Before Final Date For Competitive Bid Submission. RECOMMENDATION: Given the condition of the properties, the absence of a pressing City need, and the added benefit of restoring the property valuation to the tax rolls, it is recommended that the Council declare the property surplus and authorize the Mayor to carry out a sale of the property within the parameters of TMC Chapter 2.64 and at a minimum bid level of 480,000. TUKWILA MUNICIPAL CODE 2.60.080 Common Service Area Any area actually served by any two or more franchised electric public utilities on January 1, 1962, shall be and remain the common service area of both unless or until such service shall be discontinued by any such utility for 30 days or more, in which case such discontinuing utility shall thereafter be deemed to be excluded from servicing such area. r, 9 2.o0.u0 Boundaries The boundaries of service areas shall in every instance follow the exterior property line of the consumer actually served. In the event of any dispute among utilities, the location and boundary of service areas shall be investigated by the City supervisor and reported to the City Council. The Council shall hear the supervisor's report together with any evidence submitted to the supervisor by any interested person and shall, by ordinance, determine and locate such boundary. 2.60.100 Common Service Area Excluded Utility Should any common service area of two or more electric public utilities exist wherein any such utility shall be excluded as provided in TMC 2.60.080, then such excluded utility shall, within 30 days of such exclusion, abate and remove any electrical equipment or facilities which serve only the area from which it was thereby excluded, it being the purpose of this provision that hazards arising from the continuation of such facilities be abated as soon as is reasonable.

Please find the attached memo in regard to the application for the public fire works display this year at the Starfire baseball complex in conjunction with the City's Family Fun at the Fort 4 of July event. This event has been very successful in past years, and we have not had any fireworks related incident as a result of this show. We have had issues in the past with visitors using fireworks within the park, but have since installed signage notifing the visitors upon entry into the park that fireworks are illegal within Tukwila. This made a significant impact on last years incidents of fireworks being discharged within the park. I have not received confirmation from Assistant Chief Peden, Fire Marshal for the City of Renton. In years past they have had no concerns with the permitted fire works display, however they do have a new Fire Chief this year. I will pass on this confirmation when I receive word from Renton Fire. If any of the Council Members have further questions, please have them contact me at 206 -575 -4404 or e -mail at dtomaso ©ci.tukwila.wa.us. Date: May 29, 2007 City of Tukwila Steven M. Mullet, Mayor Fire Department To: Chief Olivas From: B/C Tomaso Re: Public Fire Works Display Permit 3rd Memorandum Nicholas J. Olivas, Fire Chief I have reviewed the permit application information provided by Mr. Tom Whitacre, who has applied for the permit for a public fireworks display at the Starfire Sports Complex, 14600 Starfire Way. Mr. Whitacre is a licensed Pyrotechnic Operator with the State of Washington and with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Fire Arms. The State Department of licensing also licenses Mr. Whitacre to transport fire works. The display will be held in conjunction with the City's planned event on the 4 of July, "Family Fun at the Fort", being organized by the Park and Recreation Department. This will be a 25 to 30 minute show starting at approximately 2200 hours. The fireworks will be transported to the site in the AM of July 4 and will be under the required supervision until they are discharged. The mortar tubes and other equipment will be brought to the location on July 2 The application was reviewed to WAC 212 -17 and accepted industry standards, and I find everything is within these guidelines I do have some concerns this year regarding the railroad right of way, baseball fields and the limited access this allows. In addition, a portion of the fall out area includes a portion of a commercial property within the City of Renton. I have contacted Renton Fire Officials and have not received a response at the time of this memo. Last year the Renton Fire Marshal approved our plan, which is the same as in previous years. Crowd control can be a potential issue, as the crowd that assembles to watch the fire works show has increased each and every year. Last year the traffic leaving the site Headquarters Station: 444 Andover Park East Tukwila, Washington 98188 Phone: 206 -575 -4404 Fax: 206 -575 -4439 City of Tukwila Page 2 was managed with the available Tukwila Police on site and available patrol units. To mitigate these issues I believe the following measures should be done: Stage two fire apparatus at the site: one apparatus on each side of the Railroad right of way. Apparatus shall be out of service during the display and for 30 minutes following display. Have Tukwila Police provide crowd control during the Public display. A minimum of 4 officers will be required. Provide traffic control to the Fort Dent Way and Interurban Ave intersection to expedite traffic flow. (2 additional Tukwila Police shall be available to respond to the site if requested.) Comply with Fire Works Permit Conditions attached.

Olivas, Fire Chief Finance and Safety Committee Chief Olivas Fire Service Consolidation Study May 31, 2007 Rhonda and I met with representatives from SeaTac on Wednesday, May 30 to discuss a potential study involving fire service consolidation. The genesis of this occurred when SeaTac's fire levy failed. Their mayor decided that they needed to look at "options" for their fire department; one of the options he wanted to study was consolidation of services with Tukwila. SeaTac's city council has authorized a study; they would like us to participate. Should this go forward, we will return to the committee with a scope of work, budget and inter -local agreement. I will be at Monday's meeting to answer any questions you have regarding this matter.
