ISSUE BACKGROUND City of Tukwila Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director INFORMATION MEMO Steven M. Mullet, Mayor Shall the City Council approve increases in the permit fees for Building, Mechanical, Plumbing, and Fuel -gas piping permits, such that there are incremental increases scheduled through each year of the code change cycle. The Unifoun Building Code was published on a three year cycle. Each code change included an increase in their published fee schedule. Prior to 1991 there had been no increase in the fee schedule for two code cycles. Upon publishing of the 1997 UBC, I.C.B.O. included a 14 increase in their fee schedule. The pellnit fees remained unchanged for six years. The adoption of the International codes brought an increase of approximately 22% to the fee schedules. These were significant increases made at each code change cycle. Previously the permit fee schedules were adopted as presented in the Codes. The authors of the International codes do not include fee schedules in the administration section of their codes. Permit fees are left to be established by the governing authority. To date we have adopted the fee schedule format that was used by ICBO and increased the fees by the ICBO methodology. DISCUSSION /ANALYSIS /ALTERNATIVES Our system of permit fees and plan review fees do not recover the cost of the administration and inspections for each permit. The intent of these fees is to recover some of the costs incurred in the issuance of each permit. Currently, the rising cost of code administration is exceeding our recovery rate. The proposed fee increase is intended to reflect the increase in cost to the City. A historic analysis of the published schedules shows that there was an increase of approximately 4% per each year of the code cycle. This would be an incremental and predictable increase if it were to be employed annually by the proposed ordinance. 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 Tukwila, Washington 98188 Phone: 206- 431 -3670 Fax: 206 431 -3665 Alternatives. Do nothing, and remain with the current fee schedule through 2008 and 2009 and adopt the 2009 International codes with no overall increase in the fee schedules. Amend TMC Section 16.04.250 "Schedule of Permit Fees" to include a 4% increase in the fee schedules, effective January 2008 with an increase of 4% each year thereafter. Amend TMC Section 16.04.250 "Schedule of Permit Fees to include a 4% increase in the Fee schedules effective January 2008 through 2009. RECOMMENDATION Approve the proposed ordinance that would provide for a 4% increase in the permit fees for Building, Mechanical, Plumbing, and Fuel -gas piping permits for the years 2008 and 2009. Review the issue of fee increases in conjunction with the Code adoption process. Forward this recommendation to the November 26, 2007 COW for approval. Attachments: Attachment "A Fee amendments.

Mullet, Mayor Department of Community Development Steve Lancaster, Director MEMORANDUM TO: Community Affairs and Parks Committee FROM: Jack Pace, Acting Director, Dept. of Community Developm DATE: October 2, 2007 SUBJECT: Update on Code Enforcement Activities The purpose of this paper is to provide a summary of the last 12+ months activities in the Code Enforcement Division, and to share an overview of our current and upcoming projects. Background: In 2006, the City began its proactive efforts to address nuisance violations across the City. The City was divided into 9 zones as follows: Joyce: Ryan Hill, Allentown/Duwamish, Riverton, Foster Heights Kathy: Cascade View, Thorndyke, Tukwila Hill, McMicken Heights, Urban Center Efforts began in Riverton, Cascade View, Foster Heights and Allentown. By the end of 2006, approximately 60% of the City's neighborhoods were evaluated. About 500 cases were opened, vs. 293 in 2005. The highest percentage of proactive cases involved junk vehicles (43 and debris (19 Beginning in 2007, all neighborhoods were included in "routine" patrols. Based on current activities, we estimate that 21% of this year's new cases will be for junk vehicles, and 17% will be attributed to debris. It is expected that about 400 cases will be opened in 2007, down from 500 in 2006, but 25% higher than previous years, due largely to a more proactive approach. 6300 Southcenter Boulevard, Suite #100 Tukwila, Washington 98188 Phone: 206- 431 -3670 Fax: 206- 431 -3665 TYPES OF CODE VIOLATIONS (% of Total) -tom 35 30 25 U',�Il rb: 4f firs n P ':I� ol 1'u' � �; t Ih �l I., , �ti. , I, ,1 k III f1 .� �0 7'Z 4, `,��i J4 1 vtii_II } If�il �{ ppI 1 10 -y, 5 0 y i1 uf1 i' IC �p, `�� u� f�l l'' f 111 i 1g' ii1 1 H� ljl �' 1�I h 4� f� >4, !'v,' {�, II7, a ))��' 4 ii ., :1, 17',t K i' 4 jl �� i .'� u 1� d"r JI' ,`u ? iS Al. i a " t kr' ;; � Y1 II3,'N(,t r'�( I ', f�l � , *kr — `11 d . klj III) �1ti `r� 7U� 1�^ { I � 1, I � �L II.. 0 Building Junk Vehicles Weeds/ Overgrowth Debris Signs Housing Use Other ** Graffiti ANSI 2002 2 27 18 16 13 11 9 6 - - • 2003 18 12 7 25 16 3 8 11 - - ■ 2004 26 16 10 17 13 5 1 12 -- 0 2005 24 13 5 19 9 9 6 15 -- ❑ 2006 14 37 4 16 6 2 3 18 2 • 2007 17 21 9 17 7 3 2 17 5 ** "OTHER" category includes vacant structures, noise, no business license. THE "DIRTY DOZEN" Good progress was made in abating the most egregious and long -term cases. In 2003, there were almost 60 cases that dated back 5+ years or more. That list has been reduced to 6 and we anticipate closing 3 -4 of those in the first quarter of next year. 1.) Philip/Rita Copeland Property 12208 48 Ave South (RFA02 092) In March of 2006, the City was awarded a Warrant of Abatement of the Copeland property. Violations included junk vehicles, containers, and an estimated 15 -20 tons of debris and garbage. The City solicited bids for the clean-up and work began last summer. Once that work was completed, an inspection by the Building Official determined that the home was unfit and was condemned. Ultimately, meetings were held with Mr. Copeland, the City Attorney, Code Enforcement, and we were able to reach an agreement whereby the owner secured the necessary fmancing for making the repairs in order to make the home habitable. That work is expected to be completed by year -end. The City has been reimbursed for clean-up fees, outstanding surface /storm water, sewer fees, towing costs, and legal fees. BEFORE AFTER 2.) Harry Olsen Property 5005 S 124 St (RFA02 -211) The Olsen property had (anguished for over 10 years, and was completely overgrown with bamboo and blackberries. There were 24 vehicles on site, and an estimated 20 tons of metal, tires, and debris. The City was granted a Warrant of Abatement in June of last year. However, prior to soliciting bids for the clean-up, the property was sold, and the City agreed to work with the new owner to bring the property into compliance. The property was completely cleared of all cars, debris, and buildings, and remains vacant. The City received a cash settlement for unpaid water liens and legal fees associated with the property. BEFORE AFTER 3.) Russell Cleaveland Property 3717 S 128 St (R.FA04 -194) Code Enforcement had been attempting to resolve numerous violations at this vacant structure for several years. The property had 3 -4 junk vehicles and was completely overgrown. The home had also been the subject of numerous break -ins, and the City took steps in November of last year to board the doors and windows to prevent further trespass. We were notified in June of this year that the property owner passed away unexpectedly. The City has been working with Mr. Cleaveland's brother, and significant progress has been made in the past few months. BEFORE AFTER 08 09 2007 15:32 4.) Joel Thompson Properties upper/lower lots (RFA02 -038, RFA03 -198) These two parcels have been vacant for many years, and continue to be subject to break -ins and illegal dumping. Attempts to work with the owner for the past couple of years have been unsuccessful. Based on meetings and discussions with the City Attorney, Code Enforcement, the property owner, and his legal counsel, the City recently entered into a Stipulation Agreement whereby the owner has agreed to demolish the dilapidated structure at the bottom of the hill, remove all materials, debris, vehicles, and overgrowth, and install security fencing to prevent further dumping. No extensions of time will be allowed. If the conditions of the agreement are not met by the end of February, 2008, the City will conduct the work and attach a tax lien to the property. MULTI FAMILY HOUSING ISSUES Code Enforcement continues to receive complaints regarding living conditions in multi family housing. Many apartments are overcrowded, landlords do not maintain conditions inside individual units, and the deterioration of some of these properties lead to criminal activity, which results in an unusually high number of police calls. In most cases, tenants are advised to follow the landlord/tenant complaint process (put the complaint in writing, provide the owner with a reasonable amount of time to make repairs, etc.). In the case of life safety (lack of water, or other conditions that would render a unit uninhabitable), Code Enforcement works with other City departments as needed to ensure the safety of tenants. In rare instances, tenants may be required to leave their unit until repairs are completed. School Collaboration In April, 2007, Code Enforcement staff combined efforts with the Tukwila Community Schools Collaboration (TCSC), to provide Landlord -Tenant education at a meeting with the Latino parents. We developed a powerpoint slide presentation with information on tenant rights and responsibilities, tips on how to effectively register complaints, types of rental agreements, and the need to read and understand their lease documents. The presentation was translated into Spanish. Through an interpreter, we fielded questions from the audience and distributed business cards and other information to the attendees. The program was well received and may be expanded to other languages, if there is interest among the community. Relocation Assistance Based on specific criteria, the City's Relocation Assistance program may be utilized to assist tenants that must be displaced due to uninhabitable rental units. In 2006, the program was utilized during the abatement of a 32 unit apartment complex (Pacific Court Apartments 146 St.). All units were vacated and permits were issued for a complete renovation of this complex. The repairs are still underway and the property remains vacant. OTHER Code Enforcement sponsored a Junk Vehicle Amnesty Program during August 2007. Approximately 30+ junk vehicles were removed from private property by licensed hulk haulers, at no cost to the City or to the property owner. Though the number of vehicles removed was smaller than expected, the program provided an incentive to property owners. The reduction in junk vehicle complaints from 2006 (37 to 2007 (22 would seem to indicate that we are making progress in this area. WHAT'S NEXT? Rental Housing Licensing: Licensing of rental housing has been discussed with CAP and the Council in the past and is still considered. Staff's proposal at this time is to require registration of each rental dwelling unit, and will require owners to provide updated contact information, descriptions of unit types, and acknowledgement that the unit meets minimum requirements for occupancy under the International Property Maintenance Code. We have also met with City Clerk's staff to discuss administrative implementation of a program. Currently, apartments with more than four units are required to obtain a city- issued business license. Staff is proposing that in lieu of a "business license all rental housing shall obtain a rental housing registration certificate issued by Code Enforcement. We expect to have a draft ordinance for your consideration by the year end. Staff will also review possible modifications /revisions to the following existing ordinances: Noise Home Occupations Parking Standards (Residential) TO: FROM: CC: DATE: SUBJECT: Human Services Sister City Committee 1 Planning Commission Equity Diversity Commission Arts Commission Parks Commission Library Advisory Board Parks Recreation DCD 1 Hotel /Motel Fund 1 Human Service Agencies MEMORANDUM Community Affairs and Parks Committee Kimberly Matej, Council Legislative Analyst Mayor Mullet Rhonda Berry, City Administrator Kevin Fuhrer, Finance Director October 3, 2007 Review of the Mayor's 2008 Proposed Budget and CIP City of Tukwila CIP PAGES Below you will find a list of budget and CIP pages expected to be reviewed at the October 9 Community Affairs and Parks Committee.
