Facility Evaluation Matrix

Have you heard about the City’s facility study? Do you know what it’s all about? In case you are only vaguely familiar with this project, these are a couple of the important things to know. And if – some time back – you took part in the consultant’s staff en-gagement event in the Council chambers where you were able to express your thoughts about the state of the City’s facilities, the results of your feedback together with other input was presented at a Council work session on May 12. The chart below provides an interesting glimpse at the results of the Facility Evaluation.

In the 36 years since Tukwila’s government moved from the small building behind Fire Station #52 into the current City Hall, the make-up of the City has changed dramati-cally. Through general population growth, flourishing new communities, expansion through annexations, and ongoing development in the City’s urban center, the level of critical services required by this city has risen substan-tially. Over the years more employees have been hired and equipment added, providing the needed support to keep Tukwila functioning. The facilities – buildings, workshops, and fire stations – which house the expand-ing service functions are often straining to accommodate the growing number of resources.

Facility Evaluation MatrixFACILITY EVALUATION MATRIX

Until now, an all-inclusive assessment of the City’s facili-ties has never been conducted to determine what could work better and how we could most efficiently plan our long-term facility investments and actions in an appropri-ate and cost-effective sequence. This will help the Coun-cil plan for the long-term and proactively address facility deficiencies rather than react to a catastrophic failure.

Why a study? Several City facilities are nearing the end of their useful lives in terms of their physical condition and the space available for city functions. Some City departments are spread across multiple buildings, creating inefficiencies that require addi-tional staff time to accomplish tasks. Also, the way we do business has changed – for example, attempt-ing to incorporate technology into older facilities.

The City of Tukwila is undertaking a 20-year needs assessment for improving East Marginal Way, from the Boeing Access Road Intersection to – and including – the South 112th Street Intersec-tion. The first phase of work will be to develop a list of improve-ment alternatives by receiving ideas/concepts from the public, adjacent property and business owners, other stakeholders, and users of East Marginal Way.

Goals of this project are to:

• Prepare an alternatives analysis/feasibility study identifyingpossible infrastructure enhancements to improve the road-way by reducing congestion and increasing levels of service.

• Improvesafety formotorizedandnon-motorizedmodesoftransportation traveling along East Marginal Way.

• Identify a preferred alternative thatwill provide thedesiredoutcomes and be financially feasible.

Ideas and concepts should be submitted to the City’s Project Manager, at the address shown at right. For questions, com-ments, or more information about this project, please contact:

Stormwater bills on the wayLater this month the City of Tukwila will be sending out its semi-annual storm drain utility bills. The last billing was mailed out in January.

The storm drain utility (also called Storm & Surface Water) controls and manages excess surface water runoff, which in-cludes flood prevention, erosion control, and reducing pollutants from entering lo-cal bodies of water. The utility pays for the operations and maintenance of the City’s stormwater system, as well as capi-tal improvement projects within the City.

The charge is a flat fee for single-family homes. Fees vary for other types of prop-erty, including commercial and industrial property, based on the property’s sizeand its developed surface percentage. For more information about the utility, please call 206-433-0179. If you have questions about the bill itself, please call 206-433-1849.

Regional Animal Services of King County reminds you that

Even on a mild day, the temperature inside a parked car can quickly rise to 100° or more.

NEVER leave your animal in a closed-up car. Every summer

dogs die in hot cars, even with windows open.

Do you shop for groceries in Tukwila? Your voice matters!

Recently, the City of Tukwila initiated the Grocery Store Project, with the purpose of ensuring that a quality, full-service grocery store would be able to sustainably operate near the intersection of Tuk-wila International Boulevard and S. 144th Street.

The City is currently partnering with Saar’s Super Saver Foods in Tukwila to better understand the grocery needs of Tukwila residents and shoppers at Saar’s. To accomplish our goal, we have de-signed a survey to better understand the City’s residents’ demand for groceries and expectations of Saar’s, as well as other major grocery stores that serve the community. Here’s the link to the survey:

www.SurveyMonkey.com/s/GroceryStoreProject

The City is committed to bringing more healthy food options to all of our residents. Please take this quick survey; your voice will be highly valued in our ongoing efforts. For more information or if staff can answer any questions, please contact the City of Tukwila Economic Development Intern at Junpei.Guo@TukwilaWA.gov. We look forward to hearing from you!

City undertakes facilities study The City of Tukwila is currently engaged in an assessment of its facilities. The process in-cludes determining the facility needs for now and the future; evaluating the suitability and condition of the current facilities; examining plan alternatives and identifying the preferred plan; and figuring out how the plan can be ac-complished.

In the past 40 years, the make-up of Tukwila has changed dramatically. Through general population growth, flourishing new communi-ties, expansion through annexations, and on-going development in the City’s urban center, the level of critical services required by the City has risen substantially.

Over the years more employees have been hired and equipment added, providing the needed support to keep Tukwila operating. The facilities – buildings, workshops, and fire stations – which house the expanding service functions are often straining to accommodate the growing number of resources. Several City facilities are nearing the end of their useful lives in terms of their physical condition and the space available for City functions.

Until now, an all-inclusive assessment of the City’s facilities has never been conducted to determine what could improve the efficiencies of work processes, and how we could most ef-ficiently plan our long-term facility investments and actions in an appropriate and cost-effective manner. In keeping with the City’s adopted Strategic Plan, this study will help the Council make decisions regarding the City’s future.

City seeks input on East Marginal Way improvements

Abriendo Puertas (Opening Doors) Project

The Abriendo Puertas Project offers King County’s only holistic legal assistance program providing sexual assault and immigration and family law expertise, all in a linguistically and culturally appropriate manner. Through a partnership with the Northwest Justice Project (NJP), King County Sexual Assault Resource Center (KCSARC) provides legal advocacy and assistance with sexual assault protection orders (a civil legal remedy that sometimes requires legal representation, espe-cially challenging for individuals with limited English proficiency), while NJP pro-vides direct legal consultation and representation.

For sexual assault victims, no free legal representation exists at any step of the pro-cess for family law matters, presenting enormous challenges for someone who is traumatized,unfamiliarwiththeU.S.legalsystem,andnotproficientinEnglish.For information or assistance, email www.kcsarc.org, or call the KCSARC Resource Line at 888-998-6423.

Minor Home Repair Program

Tukwila’s Human Services Offices continues to have funding available for small housing repairs that don’t disturb old painted surfaces. Funded by Housing and Urban Development Community Block Grant funds, the Tukwila Minor Home Repair program is perfect for low- and moderate-income homeowners who are having a difficult time keeping up with small repairs and preventive maintenance. Last year, seventeen Tukwila homeowners received assistance with jobs related to heating and hot water, small electrical, small carpentry, and plumbing. Funds are provided in the form of grants, with no financial contribution needed from the homeowner. There is a limitation as to the type of jobs and the cost; typically the homeowner can receive up to $2,000 annually (as funds are available) for work, with a maximum lifetime limit of $5,000.

To apply for the program or to be screened, contact Evie at 206-433-7180. An online application is also available at the City’s website – TukwilaWA.gov – under Human Services information.
