Seismic Hazards Screening Report
Please Bring Your Copies of the Evaluation Report.
ISSUE
Review results of Seismic Hazards Screening Evaluation.
DISCUSSION
Reid Middleton was contracted to provide Seismic Hazard Screening and Reporting services,
using FEMA 154 and ASCE 31-03 screening criteria for nine City buildings (Minkler Shops
was separated into three separate structures). The screening and evaluation looked at the
buildings' expected structural performance for the Immediate Occupancy performance
objective. The Immediate Occupancy performance objective was chosen because each of the
facilities being evaluated perform a critical function/service for the community and would be
needed during a disaster and the during the recovery period following the disaster.
All of the buildings, with the exception of Fire Station 53, were found to have seismic
deficiencies and do not meet the Immediate Occupancy performance objective. Concept-level
seismic upgrade designs have been completed and are provided describing the options to
mitigate structural deficiencies. Cost estimates for the seismic upgrades have also been
developed.
RECOMMENDATION
Present to the Committee of the Whole for consideration.

a year of litigation and negotiation. We are currently engaged in discovery related to the WD 125 lawsuit

assist the City in many code enforcement matters as well as assist the City in negotiating various
development agreements.
BUDGET PROGRAM GOALS
1. Provide city-wide traininq in coni unction with Administrative Services related to personnel issues:

MUNICIPAL COURT
2nd QUARTER SIGNIFICANT ISSUES
Improving the Jail Alternatives Program continues to be a primary focus. Our court management team
and probation department meet weekly to discuss progress and plan for the future. Also, Trish Kinlow
met on several occasions with local court officials and state agencies in her continuing effort to improve
interpreter services. We are now up to full personnel strength so we anticipate a significant decrease in
the need for overtime.
BUDGET PROGRAM GOALS
1. Continue to retool and expand Jail Alternative Proqram: Ongoing. We've seen an increase in JAP
participation as the lawyers are becoming more familiar with its benefits. We've noticed and
are encouraged by the fact that the program has become a part of settlement negotiations.
2. Monitor case volume/workload in order to provide input in pendinq public defender contract
neqotiations: Ongoing. We recently added additional conflict public defenders as our need for
a variety of lawyers has increased. Many defendants present conflicts with our primary
defenders {usually because they are co-defendants} so conflict public defenders are
necessary. The City Attorney's and City Clerk's offices have prepared contracts for these
individuals. We are polling local courts to ensure our pay scale is industry standard.
3. Prepare for pendinq Union contract issues as they relate to court specific needs: Ongoing. Court
has continued the process of researching participation in Union contract negotiations. It is
our intent to work with the City's Human Resources Department to discuss specific areas of
designation in order to bring us into compliance with GR-29.
2008 Second Quarter Report to Council

4. Increase use of on-line court resources to enhance court services and reduce printinq costs:
Ongoing. IT continues to work with the court in upgrading individual court computers,
printers, and fax machines, and will continue joint efforts to add on-line attorney capabilities.
5. Expand participation in county-wide trial court coordination efforts: Ongoing. We are working with
12 other Courts in an effort to increase trial court coordination in the area of Interpreter
Funding. The Board of Judicial Administration (BJA) has $75,000 available for funding
coordination. Tukwila Municipal and Kent Municipal Court are taking the lead in completing
the application on behalf of the 13 courts. As of July 1 the court is eligible to receive state
funding to supplement interpreter expenses.
FINANCE DEPARTMENT
2nd QUARTER SIGNIFICANT ISSUES:
The most significant event of the quarter was the loss of our Finance Director, Kevin Fuhrer. Kevin left in
May to accept a position with the Covington Water District. Filling in as Finance Director on an interim
basis is Robert Noland. Bob retired from the City of Kennewick a few years ago after a 27-year career
there as the Support Services Director, and has subsequently ass'umed a number of interim assignments
in various cities.
Another major event was the decision to adopt the biennial budget process. The budget-building cycle
will start in July, with the added dimension of creating a two-year budget.
The "streamlined sales tax" legislation that was passed last year goes into effect on July 1 st. This change
in sales tax collection methods is expected to cause a loss in sales tax collections to Tukwila of $3 million
per year. There is to be mitigation of this loss, but it will be on a diminishing scale based upon future
growth of the City's sales tax base. There are many unknowns at this juncture, which will make
forecasting of sales taxes for the next budget a difficult decision-making process.
