SUBJECT: Interlocal Agreement for Tukwila /SeaTac Community Center Trail
Connection Study and Preliminary Design
ISSUE
An Interlocal Agreement between the City of Tukwila and City of SeaTac is needed to move
forward with a program study and preliminary design of a multi use trail that will connect the
Tukwila Community Center and the SeaTac Community Center.
BACKGROUND
The City of Tukwila and the City of SeaTac have expressed interest in working together to
provide a multi use trail between the Tukwila and SeaTac Community Centers. The first step in
this process is to conduct a program study and have a preliminary engineering design
completed.
DISCUSSION
The City of SeaTac has received partial funding from King County for the study and preliminary
design work to be completed. It is estimated that the remaining fees will be $24,400, of which
$12,200 would be the City of Tukwila's responsibility. This has been accounted for in the
2009/2010 Capital Improvement Program.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to consider the Interlocal Agreement between Tukwila and SeaTac
at the March 23, 2009 Committee of the Whole Meeting and the Special Meeting to follow that
same evening.

Attachment A
This is a scope of work for the study and eventual design of bicycle /pedestrian
facilities upgrade between the SeaTac Community Center and the Tukwila Community Center.
Working closely with the Cities of SeaTac and Tukwila, this study can be completed quickly and
efficiently. The intent of this work is to identify and confirm existing conditions along a known
route and to agree upon improvements necessary to allow safe and convenient passage by
pedestrians and bicyclists. Once the necessary improvements have been identified, particular
sections of the route can be surveyed in expectation of design and engineering plans for the
development of the route.
The project is a bicycle /pedestrian facilities upgrade along streets between the SeaTac
Community Center at 13735 24 Ave S and the Tukwila Community Center at 12424 42 Ave
S. The project is within at least three different jurisdictions, as it begins in SeaTac, ends in
Tukwila, and a part of the route crosses under the Washington State Department of
Transportation (WSDOT) right of way for State Route 599.
The corridor is approximately 2.8 miles long on roads that vary in classification and in existing
condition. Some portions of the route are fully developed with excellent bicycle facilities, while
others are narrow roads that will need significant improvements in order to provide bike lanes.
The extended scope of the project will include design of enhancements such as striping, signage,
widening, drainage improvements, installation of bicycle traffic sensors for traffic actuated
signals, and modifications of curb and sidewalk alignments in some areas to accommodate
bicycle lanes.
At the design and permit phase, the project will be subject to the storm drainage requirements of
the local jurisdiction; in SeaTac the drainage design will be in accordance with the 2005 King
County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM, this will be revised soon to meet NPDES),
while in Tukwila the drainage design will be in accordance with the 1998 KCSWDM.
The trail standards used will include Shared Roadway, Signed Shared Roadway, Bicycle Lane
and Shared Use Path trails reflecting City of SeaTac, City of Tukwila, King County Regional
Trail Standards, SeaTac Road Standards (King County, MUTCD (for striping and signing).
Route Summary:
24 Ave S, from SeaTac Community Center to S 144 St:
Existing conditions: C, G, S on both sides; bike lane on west side with no parking; parking on
east side; wide lanes; curb bulb on east side at intersection
S 144 St, from 24 Ave S to Military Rd S:
Existing conditions: narrow two -lane road with ditch and culvert drainage. Some stretches have in
SeaTac been widened, but not much —in those areas some CBs have been installed.
S 144 St, from Military Rd S to International Blvd:
Existing conditions: brand new roadway with excellent bike facilities. No further work needed.
S 144thSt, from International Blvd to 42 Ave S:
Existing conditions: partially widened, although not to the extent of the previous section; 3 -lane
(w/ left turn lane) width at intersection w/ Int'l Blvd; then becomes wide two -lane road w/ C,
G, S both sides; parking appears to be allowed both sides.
42 Ave S, from S 144 St to S 139 St:
Existing conditions: widened to 38 feet in some sections, and 29 feet in others; curb bulbs go in
and out quite a bit; no parking where curb bulbs are, parking allowed where full width; C, G,
S both sides.
42 Ave S, from S 139 St to improved area south of S 137 St:
Existing conditions: two lanes w/ paved shoulder varying in width; road appears to be offset
toward the west half of the r /w; intermittent CBs and ditch drainage; parking does not appear
to be restricted, but I would guess people don't park on the street often.
42 Ave S, from improved area south of S 137 St to north end of improved area:
Existing conditions: C, G, S on east side, ditch with periodic CBs on west side; wider east lane
adjacent to recent housing development; 6+ foot paved shoulder west side; no parking both
sides.
42 Ave S /40 Ave S, from north end of improved area north of S 137 St to East Marginal Way
S:
Existing conditions: some areas two lanes with 5 -foot shoulder and ditch drainage; some areas
with wider section and C, G, S; parking does not appear to be restricted, but I would guess
people don't park on the street often; awkward intersection w/ Marginal has a narrowed
section that would need some careful planning to be safe for cyclists.
East Marginal Way S, from 40 Ave S to S 130 St:
Existing conditions: wide section w/ full C, G, S improvements on both sides; parking allowed
both sides.
S 130 St, from East Marginal Way S to 42n Ave S:
Existing conditions: partially widened with approx 12 -ft lane each direction; existing catch basin
and UG pipe drainage system. Parking appears to be unrestricted.
42 Ave S, from S 130` St to Tukwila Community Center:
Existing conditions: narrow lanes with C, G, S on the east side from S 130` St to the SR 599
r /w; partially widened without edge treatment through SR 599 underpass; widened to 3 lanes
at intersection w/ Interurban Ave S; narrows at existing steel truss bridge; somewhat wider
after bridge w/ C, G, S on east side and guardrail on west side (next to river). Parking
appears to be allowed under SR 599, but not elsewhere on this stretch.
Scope of Services
This proposal is for planning; design and engineering services associated with the assessment of the
route and preliminary design recommendations, including multiple options where applicable. It is
anticipated that this phase of the project includes the production of a SeaTac /Tukwila Bike Lane
Design Report for the selected route. Our scope of services and the anticipated work process is
detailed as follows:
1. Meet with jurisdiction's representatives and review proposed route and known issues for each
section of route. Confirm at this meeting the route and sections of the route for the feasibility
analysis.
2. Research available existing information from the various jurisdictions including drainage and
utility system as- builts, right of way widths, existing street cross sections, existing bike facilities,
roadway classifications, parking restrictions, and possible master plan impacts. It is anticipated
that the Bike Lane Project Manager for each jurisdiction will work with the design team to
establish a collaborative relationship with the individuals within the jurisdiction that will have
impact on the process and may be able to provide the needed information stated above. Project
team to coordinate with the designated personnel from each jurisdiction.
3. Coordinate and research available resources and requirements within the City regarding bicycle
facility construction including bike lane widths, signage, separation, pavement markings etc.
Confirm master plan or local jurisdictional requirements for road improvements that may be
triggered by work within corridor.
4. Conduct a site visit to record "typical" detailed cross section measurements and photo- document
existing roadway conditions at major points along the route where the cross section changes.
5. Create a bike lane zone map for the corridor to assist in identifying existing conditions and areas
where challenges exist. Meet with design team to discuss challenges along the route and
brainstorm to formulate the design and engineering approach to each of the bike lane zones along
the corridor
6. Meet with jurisdiction's representatives to present the draft concept road with bike lane sections
for each zone. Discuss challenges along the route and confirm the design and engineering
approach to each of the bike lane zones along the corridor.
7. Prepare a design recommendations report that will be divided into sections relating to each
individual jurisdiction. Included in the design report are preliminary civil design guidelines for
zones where civil site improvements are needed. These would include assessment of drainage
requirements, preliminary analysis, and written documentation of approach. It is anticipated that
not all zones will require civil site improvements. Finalize Bike Lane Zone Map to be included in
the design recommendations report. The report will also recommend which Zones will need to be
surveyed along with the cost of such survey.
8. Meet w/ jurisdictional representatives to review the Design Recommendation Report, and confirm
the recommendations. The jurisdictions at this meeting will confirm the necessary survey
recommendations and authorize a notice to proceed with the survey. The survey is not a part of
this Scope of Work.
9. Consultant will arrange to have the survey performed. At this time, the consultant will provide a
scope of work and estimate of costs to provide design and engineering services for the eventual
development of the SeaTac /Tukwila Bike Lane between the two Community Centers.
10. The deliverables for this report will include:
o Base map of the corridor using existing, available information
o Summary of the standards for street, bicycle lanes, pathways and crossings for SeaTac,
Tukwila and King County pertinent to this project
o A bike lane zone map for the corridor identifying existing conditions and areas where
challenges exist
o Design Recommendations for each jurisdiction (SeaTac and Tukwila)
o Cost opinion for the construction of the Design Recommendations
o Identify zone that will require surveying along with the cost of the surveys
o Scope of work and estimate of costs to provide design and engineering services for the
eventual development of the SeaTac/Tukwila Bike Lane between the two Community
Centers
It is anticipated that the design necessary to begin to prepare construction documents will include the
following tasks. However, these tasks will be reviewed and likely modified to reflect the finding of the
above Scope of Work and are not now budgeted.
Prepare Design Development Documents (60% Design)
A. Design Documents and Outline Specifications
Legends, Details and Typical Sections
Erosion Control /Site Preparation Plan
Plan and Profile
Wall Profile
Signing and Channelization/Striping Plan
Landscape Plan
Cost Estimate
B. Hydraulic Design Memorandum
The consultant will prepare a brief Hydraulic Design Memorandum. This data will be
used in preparation of the environmental documents and in support of establishing the
trail vertical alignment. The memorandum shall include:
Findings from the review of existing drainage conditions
Calculation of net new impervious area
Findings and recommendations for stormwater infiltration
C. Geotechnical Memorandum
The purpose of this task is to characterize the anticipated subsurface conditions and based
on those conditions, provide geotechnical recommendations for design of the trail and
construction considerations.
Review preliminary design plans, aerial photos, geologic maps and
available subsurface information for relevant projects completed near the
proposed trail alignment.
Complete a reconnaissance of the trail alignment to characterize surface
conditions as a means to aid with interpretation o likely subsurface
conditions.
E. Environmental
The environmental process for the development of this connector trail will involve
compliance with the Washington State Environmental Police Act (SEPA). To comply
with SEPA an Environmental Checklist will be prepared for this project. These will be
based on description information provided by the Cities and gathered during this
assignment.
Attached is a chart that describes the hours and costs to perform the above Scope of Work which
totals $49,600.00. Based on my experience, I estimate that the work described in the "Prepare
Design Development Documents (60% Design)" could be accomplished for the remainder of the
$100,000.00 budget. The cost of the survey of the various sections of the corridor is unknown at
this time and could impact the remaining budget.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

ISSUE
Briefing on new Growth Targets for King County and Cities
BACKGROUND
Under Washington State's GMA, King County and its cities must adopt Comprehensive Plans
that accommodate 20 years of anticipated population and employment growth. Plans must
provide for land uses and densities, capital facilities and transportation infrastructure that are
sufficient to meet future needs. Local governments have discretion as to how they will
accommodate the growth within their borders. Local jurisdictions must update their
comprehensive plans at least every 7 years. Cities in King County last completed their plan
updates in 2004. The deadline for the next plan update is December 2011.
Every five years, the state Office of Financial Management (OFM) issues population projections
for each county in the state as a basis for GMA planning. Based on these projections, counties
and cities collaborate in determining local allocations of that growth. The act requires that local
growth numbers be updated at least every ten years.
New Population and Employment Projections for King County
In King County, growth targets are policy statements indicating the minimum number of
households and jobs each jurisdiction plans to accommodate during the current Growth
Management period. The targets are based on the OFM population projections along with
employment forecasts produced by the Puget Sound Regional Council (PSRC). The county is
an attractive region which, over the long term, is expected to see robust amounts of growth.
OFM released new projections in 2007, which show King County growing at a faster rate
than previously forecasted. The result: nearly 100,000 more people countywide in 2022 than
currently planned for. Overall, the county is expected to grow by about 450,000 people

between 2006 and 2031 to a total population of 2.3 million. The graph below shows the new
projection as an extension of historical trends and compared with the 2002 OFM projection.
The latest employment forecasts released by PSRC in 2006 show growth in the county, over
this same period, of nearly 450,000 jobs to a total of 1.7 million jobs.

Adoption of Growth Targets by the Growth Management Planning Council
The GMPC is a formal body consisting of elected officials from King County, Seattle, Bellevue,
other cities and towns, special purpose districts, and the Port of Seattle. The GMPC responds to
the GMA requirement that counties and cities collaborate to develop and adopt Countywide
Planning Policies (CPP). Household and job growth targets are contained in the CPP.
The CPP were originally adopted by the GMPC in 1994. Growth targets were updated in 2002,
for a planning period extending to 2022. The county and cities incorporated those targets into
their 2004 plan updates. The GMPC will be considering new updates to the targets based on
the new population projections from OFM, thus providing substantive guidance to cities as they
update their 20 -year Comprehensive Plans once again. New growth targets would extend the
countywide planning period out another 9 years, with a horizon of 2031, 20 years beyond the
2011 Comprehensive Plan update requirement.
The CPP establish the policy framework for allocating growth targets. Those policies include:
1) Limiting growth in Rural and Resource areas,
2) Focusing growth within the existing Urban Growth Area, within cities, and within designated
Urban Centers and Manufacturing /Industrial Centers,
3) Improving jobs- housing balance within four planning subareas, and
4) Fostering a pattern of growth that ensures efficient use of infrastructure and can be served
by public transportation.
Paee 2 of 4 03/04/2009
Development of the targets, which are formally adopted by the GMPC and ratified by the county
and cities, involves extensive coordination among staff from throughout the county. Through this
process, every jurisdiction is expected to take its fair share of growth. The rationale for the staff
recommended target allocation is based on best available demographic, economic, and land
use data, and also incorporates unique factors and local policies.
The timeline below gives an overview of the schedule for GMA planning actions for King
County.

New Policy Guidance from Vision 2040
P: \Admin''A- Jack\KC Growth Targets Briefing Paper 2- 5- 09.docJP
r o
The Puget Sound Regional Council recently adopted Vision 2040, a growth management,
transportation, and economic development strategy for the 4- county region. With Vision 2040,
the PSRC has amended its Multicounty Planning Policies (Mops) to address coordinated action
around a range of policy areas, including land use and development patterns. The GMPC will be
updating its countywide policies in 2010 to bring them into consistency with the Mops.
Vision 2040 also contains a Regional Growth Strategy that provides substantive guidance for
planning for the roughly 1.7 million additional people and 1.2 million additional jobs expected in
the region between 2000 and 2040. The Strategy retains much of the discretion that counties
and cities have in setting local targets, while calling for broad shifts in where growth locates
within the region. In comparison to current targets and plans, the Strategy calls for:
Increasing the amount of growth targeted to cities that contain regionally designated urban
centers (to include both metropolitan centers and many suburban cities)
Increasing the amount of growth targeted to other large cities (with combined population
and employment of at least 22,500)
Decreasing the amount of growth targeted to Urban designated unincorporated areas,
Rural designated unincorporated areas, and to smaller cities
Achieving a greater jobs- housing balance within the region
New growth targets for King County are expected to move toward achieving the desired pattern
of growth laid out in Vision 2040, while recognizing the long -term nature of the regional land use
goals and the many challenges involved in "bending the trend" away from past growth patterns.
Page 3 of 4 03/04/2009
Next Steps
Staffs work toward updated growth targets for King County is underway now. In the coming
months, cities will be asked to review and provide input on a range of potential future growth
scenarios. Based on this process, recommended draft targets may go to the GMPC as early as
July 2009, with a vote for adoption possible at the council's September 2009 meeting. Once
adopted, growth targets must be ratified by the county, council and cities. Adopting targets
ahead of the 2011 Comprehensive Plan updates will ensure that appropriate and timely
planning can be done to accommodate projected growth.

Permit Coordination and Building
Year end permit activity hit an all time record with 2,730 permits issued (522 building, 321 mechanical,
313 plumbing, and 1,473 electrical) with a $134,638,107 total project valuation.
4 QUARTER SIGNIFICANT ISSUES
Westfield Southcenter Mall Expansion The increase in Building, Mechanical and Electrical permits was
mainly due to the Westfield Mall expansion project. At the beginning of this project the Westfield project
managers made clear their need for on -call inspection services after business hours and for weekends
and holidays, if they were to meet their opening deadline. Hiring additional staff was not a viable option.
Consequently, this challenge was met by contracting with a private inspection services company to
handle the Westfield Mall expansion project. Four additional inspectors were necessary to handle the
work load of the Mall expansion project alone. The result allowed the Westfield expansion to open on
schedule and allowed staff to maintain a normal level of inspection services for all other projects in
Tukwila.

PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT
2008 YEAR END SUMMARY
The Parks and Recreation Department continued to offer a variety of recreational and leisure
opportunities to residents and visitors throughout 2008. The department hosted many citywide special
events including the annual Backyard Wildlife Festival, Tukwila Days event at the Community Center, and
the Family Forth Event at Fort Dent Park to name a few. The Tukwila Community Center continued to be
a focal meeting point for local residents, business, and regional meetings and in 2008 we implemented
new software that allows us to schedule and track facility rentals. Two park celebrations were held in
2008; the new playground at Fort Dent Park and the Water Spray Park at the community center. Each
addition has provided several recreational opportunities to children and families that live and visit Tukwila.
The golf course replaced tee markers and upgraded storm pumps adding to the overall appearance and
functionality of the course. The City continues to celebrate the Tukwila Centennial with several events
and festivals in celebration of our 100 years!
