City Attorney Tom Brubaker informed members regarding current franchise negotiations with Water District #111; a special purpose district which operates in a portion of Kent on the eastern edge, in and around the old Meridian annexation. Reasons for these negotiations are: historically, special purpose districts haven’t paid utility tax although they are a utility (utility taxes are general purpose taxes known as revenues that pay for police, streets, parks and general government services); and by not paying utility taxes, an argument can be made that special purpose district customers do not contribute the same amount to the city general purpose tax revenue as those who do pay city utility tax. As a result of a court of appeals case involving the City of Wenatchee, a city can impose a utility tax but only on the portion of the utility that is run like a business, or proprietary, to the extent that a utility run government service could not be taxed. For example, if it is metered like water that’s the business, proprietary end (taxable), but if it is for fire flow or fire control that’s a general government service (nontaxable). Since this was a court of appeals ruling and not a supreme court ruling it is possible the ruling can be reversed. Basic franchise terms include: defines revenue broadly to include all operating services but does not include capital investment services; the franchise fee on the gross revenue is six percent; term is ten years with an option to extend another five years; franchise includes relocation requirements, if the district installs a new system and the City requires them to move it within the first ten years the cost will be split equally, if it is 1 Operations Committee Minutes September 6, 2016 Page: 2 after the first ten years the district is responsible for the full amount; and other language and terminology. In return for paying the fee, the City has agreed not to assume, or take over, the district as well as not allowing the City to impose other taxes. 6. RECONSIDERATION OF PROHIBITION ON HOUSE-BANKED SOCIAL CARD GAMES – INFORMATION ONLY. Deputy City Attorney Pat Fitzpatrick provided members with details to reconsider the prohibition of social card rooms, otherwise known as house-banked card rooms under state law. At the request of Councilmember Thomas the law department has done some initial research on law surrounding the card rooms as well as the process the City will have to follow upon ending the prohibition. Currently, card rooms are not allowed within the City unless it has been grandfathered in by an annexation, which, at this time there are no card rooms in Kent. There are two ways to approach this decision if the City decides to move forward, they are: approving a zoning ordinance to allow card rooms in certain areas of the city; or, allowing them in all areas of the city. Comments made by committee members were regarding the public safety aspect of allowing card rooms as well as preserving the downtown area. Next steps will be to add this to the Land Use work plan for 2017. It is estimated the City of Tukwila gets $300,000 in tax revenue from each of their four card rooms. 7. CITY INVESTMENT REPORT – INFORMATION ONLY. Finance Director Aaron BeMiller and Senior Financial Advisor Joe Bartlemay provided current information regarding the investment report as well as updated members about a contract that Finance is interested in pursuing. Mr. Bartlemay informed members on the current state of the city investment report. As of June 30, 2016, the end of the second quarter, the City has a little over $118 million in investments, just under $20 million of that is long-term investments and a little over $98 million of that is the state local government investment pool (the very liquid and accessible investment fund). The average rate of return is 1.343 percent and the average years to mature are 2.52 years. A few activity highlights to report are: a new FICO Strip was purchased for under $4 million with a yield of .84 percent that will mature in 2018; an older investment purchased in 1990 has fully matured; a CD has matured and was renewed for another 12 month term; an investment that was purchased last year has been refinanced; and three investment brokers were interviewed. Mr. BeMiller updated members on one of the investment brokers that were interviewed, PFM Asset Management. This firm of investment professionals would take over the City’s portfolio with the caveat that the money still belongs to the City, and the City would 2 Operations Committee Minutes September 6, 2016 Page: 3 sign-off on any investments being made. The investment would be $25 million and the cost would be about $25,000 annually. 8. DIRECTOR’S REPORT – INFORMATION ONLY. Mr. BeMiller updated members on the 2016 Financial Status report for the quarter ended June 30. From a cash perspective, the City is in a good place. The general fund cash flow started 2016 a bit lower because an investment was made at the end of 2015 but the cash flow has moved past where the City was at this time last year. Revenues are right where they should be with a revised budget of $86,730,470 and actuals through second quarter of $44,781,438. Finance Deputy Director Barbara Lopez was invited to speak about the Business and Occupation revenue collections. With strong collections coming in, it looks like the year will end with approximately $7.5 million. There are three categories to collection statistics, they are: taxpayer accounts added (a new business to the city or a business that has been open and has recently acquired a city business license); delinquent account collections (businesses that have filed that may have fallen off track); and audit and compliance (there may be numbers that need to be looked into further). So far, there has been about $2 million in past due amounts collected from 320 tax payers with an expected average $530,000 revenue collected annually. Program costs are expected to end the year very close to budget, which is $713,070. The meeting was adjourned at 4:55 p.m. by D. Ralph. J.

Kent, WA. 98032-5895 DATE: September 20, 2016 TO: Operations Committee FROM: William Ellis, Economic Development Analyst SUBJECT: Port of Seattle Partnership Program –City Application – Resolution – Recommend MOTION: Recommend Council adopt a resolution declaring support for the city’s application to the Port of Seattle’s Economic Development Partnership Program. The city proposes to contract with the Food Innovation Network to establish a commercial kitchen in Kent for incubation of small businesses. The Mayor is authorized to make a formal cooperative agreement with the Port of Seattle to receive funding and to execute a contract with the Food Innovation Network. SUMMARY: The project will benefit the City by helping both new and existing businesses achieve sustainable growth in revenue and jobs. There is vast potential represented by the growing foreign-born population in our region to develop value- added food products (either traditional or innovative) for export to foreign. Moreover, the Seattle metro, and South King County in particular, are home to a vast array of authentic eateries representing the globe. Although South King County has numerous home based food businesses--many of them owned and operated by immigrants and refugees—recent studies have shown there to be a dearth of commercial kitchens to professionally scale up and graduate these into "brick and mortar" locations. The City proposes to contract with the Food Innovation Network to provide commercial kitchen access at reduced cost for 6-10 entrepreneurs ready to launch their businesses at a new commercial kitchen in downtown Kent. In addition to a sliding scale rental fee, entrepreneurs at the new café and kitchen would receive a small grant to cover license and permit costs. Entrepreneurs agree to work with a business coach, develop a business plan and start a business checking and savings account, and meet monthly as a cohort for peer learning and support. 5 The Food Innovation Network (FIN) includes organizations, educational institutions, local government, and community members working to create pathways for health, wealth, and success through food system revitalization. The City of Kent, through these Port of Seattle grant dollars, will be joining other FIN contributors including: Jewish Family Service, Global to Local, the Human Services Managers of SeaTac and Tukwila, the YMCA of Tukwila, small business advisory group Ventures, and StartZone at Highline College. The FIN organization is currently funded by the CDC, the Seattle Foundation (Communities of Opportunity), and the Public Health Departments of both Seattle & King County. FIN member, the non-profit social venture Project Feast, will provide 50 hours per entrepreneur for commercial kitchen orientation, mentorship and weekly workshops on topics like recipe development, networking with successful food entrepreneurs, etc. We envision 5-7 entrepreneurs will receive consultation and workshops from Project Feast and its partners in 2017. The City proposes to utilize its existing contract with the Green River College Small Business Development Center as matching funds by making the time of the small business advisor available to entrepreneurs at the kitchen and international café. The FIN pilot kitchen incubator project helps to implement the City of Kent's 2014 Economic Development Strategy and its goals; specifically from our Economic Development Strategic Plan: I. Promote the image of Kent (action steps 1.1.2 Develop a City-Wide Brand, and 1.1.3 Include Diverse Cultural Identities); II. Strengthen & Enhance Competitiveness of Kent Commercial Centers; (action step 2.5.6 Highlight Cultural Diversity) III. Business Climate: Highlight Support for Local Business (action step 3.1.3) EXHIBITS: (A) city application; and (B) projected budget with match BUDGET IMPACT: N/A 6 RESOLUTION NO. ___________ A RESOLUTION of the City Council of the City of Kent, Washington, in support of the City’s 2016 application to the Port of Seattle’s Economic Development Partnership Program.
