DEPARTMENT: Mayor (03) DIVISION: Sister Cities Committee FUND: General FUND NUMBER: 000 RESPONSIBLE MANAGER: David Cline POSITION: City Administrator Description The Sister City Committee was created in 1984. Since that time, many friendships have developed. Delegations from Ikawa and Miyoshi have visited Tukwila, and representatives from the City have had the opportunity to visit our sister cities in Japan. Funds have been used in two ways; to cover major expenses involved in hosting delegations on their visits to Tukwila; and to pay for gifts and miscellaneous expenses associated with the preparation of a group of Tukwila citizens (adults and students) to journey to our Sister City. In 2012, our relationship status with Miyoshi was put on emeritus status, due to staffing changes and a desire to re-evaluate the goals and objectives of the Committee. The Tukwila community has changed dramatically in the last 20 years, and is made up of many different ethnic communities, linguistic communities, and communities of interest. These communities are what make Tukwila unique, dynamic and positioned to be a model for other cities. As the City’s relationship with these communities grows, we need to build bridges – connecting, sharing and

recognizing groups for the good of each and the betterment of all. Expenditure Summary

Five Questions To Ask Before You Run For School Board Apr 14 by Beth Sigall

So you’re thinking about running for school board. You’re passionate about education and you’ve always supported public schools.

Eastside Education Network reached out to past school board members and parent leaders to seek their views on what potential candidates should consider before running. Here’s a compilation of their answers:

1. Are you a single issue candidate? – School boards races often attract candidates driven by a single issue. And while that cause may be a worthy one, unless your agenda is shared by at least two other members, you may waste most of your term banging your head against the wall. Says former Issaquah School Board President and State Rep. Chad Magendanz (R-5th Issaquah): “Potential candidates need to consider what will be necessary to build a majority on the board, and recognize that the issue of the day may be long gone before you’ve built that coalition.”

2. Can you listen to everyone? – An effective school board member must listen to all perspectives and do their best to strike a balance. Kelly Munn, State Field Director for The League of Education Voters, says each school board candidate must consider whether they can do what is right for the entire community, not just for their family, their friends or a particular group of supporters.

3. Do you have the time? – Candidates should look realistically at how much time they have to devote to the job. The hours can be substantial. Board members typically have additional schedule demands for small group meetings, responding to various inquiries, and developing expertise on matters important to their district, such as school construction financing.

http://eastsideedu.com/author/beth/

http://eastsideedu.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/hands-and-coffee.jpg

4. Have you reached out personally? – Candidates should have a coffee with a current school board member and ask them about the job. Regularly attending school board meetings is another way to get a feel for what the job is like.

5. Are you willing to learn more? – Various groups offer trainings on how to run for school board and how to be an effective school board member. Candidates should attend one or more to learn about the job. Additionally, each school district’s website has board meeting minutes, policies, procedures and a wealth of information that candidates should study before jumping in.

Elected school boards serve as the voice for the community in the governance of our schools. Serving on them is a worthwhile endeavor that we should all support.

Serving on a school board is a great opportunity to help students and give back to your community.

School boards have many responsibilities, including governing their districts. These involve allocating resources, monitoring performance and holding the district accountable for progress. They govern the program and direction of the school district through written policy.

As elected officials, school boards provide a vital link between their communities and their schools. School board members serve as ambassadors for their students and schools. They also represent and engage their communities in educating students.

For more information about serving on your school board, visit our website, www.wssda.org, to download and review the Washington School Board Standards. These standards describe board roles and responsibilities and the skills, knowledge and behaviors that contribute to effective governance.

Serving on your local school board

We encourage all school board candidates to attend our free workshop covering the fundamentals of school board service, board/superintendent roles, legal requirements for school boards, and tips for effective leadership. The two-hour workshops give participants the opportunity to learn about education reform efforts at the state and national levels. Register online at www.wssda.org.

Workshops are held from 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. in all locations.

the district. In other districts, board members must live within certain areas called director districts. In either case, candidates are voted on by all voters in the school district, except for primary elections in Seattle.

• School board elections are held in odd-numbered years and are staggered.• The filing period for school board elections this year is May 13–17.• Candidates file with the county auditor’s elections office and there is no filing fee. • If a district is located in more than one county, candidates file in the county where the

Tuesday after the first Monday in November.• If only one or two people file for a position, there is no primary election for that

These reports begin with candidacy and continue throughout the term of office. Candidates must also file campaign financial reports. For detailed information on requirements, deadlines and forms for reports, contact your county auditor’s elections office or visit the PDC website at www.pdc.wa.gov.

Campaigning• State law prohibits the use of facilities of any public agency to directly or indirectly assist

any campaign for or against a candidate or ballot proposition. School board candidates must make a complete separation between campaign activities and the school district.

• Local ordinances may also contain specific requirements, such as the placement of campaign signs, so be sure to check with the city or county regarding the rules in your area.

Education: Bachelor’s in Economics, State University; Master’s in Business Administration, State University

Occupation: Manager, Main Street Bank

Statement: We deserve a leader that will listen to our ideas and concerns and be proactive, not reactive, in their decision making. We deserve a leader that cares more about serving citizens than getting re-elected. We deserve a leader at city hall that can work with local businesses, instead of against them; a leader that has the knowledge to set the city on a successful course—not just for the next five years, but for the next five decades.

I am that leader.

Born and raised in this town, my roots here run deep. My family has lived here for four generations, and my husband and I are raising our three beautiful children here. As manager of the bank for the last fifteen years, I have expanded our small business loan program, creating opportunities for local businesses and organizations to make a difference in our community. This successful program has reduced the vacancy rate on Main Street to zero, creating a prosperous, revitalized Downtown.

I am an active community volunteer: as head of the PTA, I have worked with other parents to create the best learning environment for our kids; and I helped to establish our city’s block watch program, which keeps our neighborhoods safe and crime rates low.

As your mayor I will work to make our city a better place for all residents to live. I will listen to your ideas and provide forums for discussion and debate. I will make decisions based not just on immediate need, but with an eye toward the future. I will make city government more transparent and fiscally responsible.

I want to make our city the best it can be; together we can make a difference! I humbly ask for your vote.

Mayor

Liz DarcyPO Box 1813Pemberley WA 12345(555) [email protected]

PUBLIC DISCLOSURE COMMISSION 711 CAPITOL WAY RM 206

PO BOX 40908OLYMPIA WA 98504-0908 (360) 753-1111 TOLL FREE 1-877-601-2828

• What Starts the Whole Process? Becoming a candidate. According to the disclosure law, you become a candidate when you do one of these things: raise or spend money for your campaign; reserve space or purchase advertising to promote your candidacy; authorize someone else to do any of these activities for you; state publicly that you are seeking office; or file a declaration of candidacy. • Once I Become a Candidate, Then What? Within two weeks of the date you become a candidate, you must file a Personal Financial Affairs Statement* (Form F-1) and a Candidate Registration form (Form C-1) with the PDC, if required. *An incumbent officeholder who has filed an F-1 earlier in the year does not need to file a second F-1 in the same year after becoming a candidate. • Do I Have to File Disclosure Reports? One of two things determines what a candidate discloses. For most candidates, it’s the number of registered voters in the jurisdiction where the candidate runs for office. How much money a candidate raises or expects to raise determines what reports are filed by someone running for office in a very small jurisdiction (less than 5,000 registered voters). File a Personal Financial Affairs Statement and campaign disclosure reports if you are:

a state office candidate a county office candidate (or political subdivision that encompasses an entire county)

a local or judicial office candidate in a jurisdiction with 5,000 or more registered voters

a candidate who raises or expects to raise $5,000 or more in the aggregate regardless of the number of registered voters (this includes the candidate’s own money)

File just a Personal Financial Affairs Statement if you are: a candidate for local or judicial office in a jurisdiction with 1,000 or more but less than 5,000 registered voters and you do not raise or expect to raise $5,000 or more

A candidate seeking election to an office in a jurisdiction with less than 1,000 registered voters who does not raise or expect to raise $5,000 or more does not file any reports with the Public Disclosure Commission. • Do I Have to File Electronically? All required PDC reports can be filed electronically. A candidate that expects to spend or actually spends $5,000 or more must E-file contribution and expenditure reports. Free E-filing software, ORCA, is available from the PDC. The PDC staff offers free ORCA training – the schedule is available at www.pdc.wa.gov/filers. Some of the training segments have

Starting Off on the Right Foot(Answers to Questions Frequently Asked by First-

Time State, Local, and Judicial Candidates)

June 2014

been videotaped and posted on the PDC’s Facebook page. NOTE: Candidates must register E-filing accounts and submit passwords to the PDC before sending reports.

To work properly, campaign data from the start of the campaign must be entered into the ORCA software.

For assistance with electronic filing of campaign finance reports, go to the PDC web page at www.pdc.wa.gov/filers or call toll free 1-877-601-2828. • Where Do I Get Instructions? Brochures, manuals, and training videos are available online at www.pdc.wa.gov under Filer Resources. Blank forms are also found under Filer Resources, but most candidates will electronically file their campaign reports. Contact the PDC at 360-753-1111 or toll-free at 1-877-601-2828 if you do not have Internet access. The PDC offers free compliance training; the schedule is at www.pdc.wa.gov/filers. Training videos are also posted on the PDC’s Facebook page. • I Suspect There’s More to Reporting . . .

Right? Probably. It depends on how much you’re going to raise and spend on your campaign. If you choose Mini Reporting (limiting what you raise or spend to $5,000 and no one other than the candidate contributes more than $500), the C-1 and the F-1 are the only PDC reports you have to file. Be sure to access and carefully review the Mini Reporting manual found at http://www.pdc.wa.gov/filers.

If you’re going to raise and spend over $5,000 to get elected (or less than that, but you want to accept more than $500 from a contributor), you must select the Full Reporting option. You’ll be required to file frequent and detailed contribution and expenditure reports (Forms C-3 and C-4, respectively).

The PDC realizes that candidates are not always able to forecast campaign costs accurately, and may need to switch reporting options. Changing from mini to full reporting must be done by the deadline before the election and approved by the PDC staff. A candidate who needs to change from mini to full reporting must notify all opponents in writing, amend the registration, file contribution & expenditure reports from the start of the campaign, and send a letter to the PDC confirming that these steps have been completed before exceeding the mini reporting limits. The change in reporting options will be approved only if all of these steps are completed at least 30 business days before the election. The approval to change reporting options from mini to full reporting by the deadline of the election is not automatic and will only be granted under circumstances outlined in WAC 390-16-125.

Statement: As Mayor of Tukwila I will be hard working and community-oriented. I envision a Tukwila that is the regional leader in business, education, and quality of life.

I will focus on fiscally responsible leadership that reflects the priorities of our diverse community. I’m committed to ensuring that our

fire and police departments continue their tradition of excellence and also to fighting for initiatives to improve the long-term prosperity of our citizens.

During my 14 years on the City Council and over 20 years as a community leader I’ve worked diligently to improve our city. I’ve raised a family, owned a small business, and own a home here, so I understand the needs of parents, professionals, and property owners.

I believe in leading by example using common sense and will continue to work together with our community leaders, educators, and businesses to ensure that Tukwila reaches its full potential.

Jim is moving forward redevelopment of Tukwila International Blvd, while working on improvements in all our neighborhoods, and public safety for all.

I will continue to protect our unique neighborhoods while promoting smart growth that will add to our quality of life.

Working together, we can provide for Tukwila’s economic vitality, developing fiscally responsible solutions to problems, and ensure a bright future for ourselves and our children. We must make smart choices now together to create the future we want for Tukwila.

I was born and raised in Tukwila. I have a daughter in Tukwila elementary, and a son soon to start kindergarten there.

Statement: Tukwila has changed a lot in my 68 years. There are more of us now. We are much more culturally diverse. Some of us are poorer. Some are richer. and for many English is their second language. And yet we are still the same. We still consider our children’s future to be our highest community priority

and we still look to education as the best tool to prepare for that future. Our Schools are important. They are the cornerstone of American culture and our local community. As your Director, I will strive to “save what works” and change”what we must” as we transition through our changing demographics and decreasing state revenues. We will perservere because our children are “number 1” and deserve our best effort.

First and foremost I am a proud Wife and a Mother. Both of my children attend Tukwila School District, and over the years I have spent many hours volunteering at our local schools. I’ve listened to our educators about their needs and concerns, and how that affects our children. I want to make sure that decisions made are right. We must give them proper educational foundation to ensure they have every opportunity to be successful. I believe in the system but I also understand that we must adapt to the ever changing world of new technology and different teaching methods. I want to ensure that our district has a balance for those students who need extra help, as well as those children who are highly gifted. I will work diligently to ensure that the board, the schools, the community and the parents are all in partnership to achieve this goal.

Valley View Sewer DistrictCommissioner Position No. 3 (nonpartisan office • 6-year term)

Pam Carter4115 S 139th StreetTukwila, WA [email protected]

As a customer for over 35 years, I want to ensure that the Valley View Sewer District continues to maintain its excellent reputation as a well-run district that delivers value to its customers. For that reason I have chosen to run for Sewer Commissioner.

Over the last 25 years, I’ve worked hard to improve my community. I’m a teacher, a community leader, and neighborhood activist. As a longtime Tukwila City Councilmember, my job was to ask tough questions and demand real answers about critical project and financial decisions. As a former Chair of the Tukwila City Council’s Utility Committee I provided oversight and policy direction for the City’s sewer utility.

As your sewer Commissioner, I promise to ensure that the Valley View continues to offer low rates while also making the prudent and necessary investments required to maintain and upgrade the system.

I ask for your vote.

Occupation: Owner of Tony’s Market

It has been my honor to serve as your commissioner the past six years, and I ask for your vote in this election. When I took office I promised ratepayers I would bring respectability back to our district after a period of chaos and discord. Working with my fellow commissioners we achieved that goal by treating employees fairly and honestly, and giving them the tools necessary to efficiently operate our facilities. As a third generation businessman in the community and operator of Tony’s Market, I bring business sense to the table. I understand that the commissioner’s role is to create the proper balance between moving forward with necessary upgrades while keeping rates affordable for our ratepayers. Ignoring our aging infrastructure is irresponsible, and I am proud of the line rehabilitation program initiated during my first term, which has been achieved while keeping our rates among the lowest in the region.

Open Monday - Friday 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

• May I Serve as My Own Treasurer? Yes. However, candidates who select Full Reporting are strongly encouraged to enlist the aid of a treasurer who has the time and energy necessary to keep detailed, accurate records and file frequent reports. Your treasurer does not need to be a professional accountant. • When Do I Have to File Reports? C-3 Contribution Reports: Before June 1 of the election year, candidates fill out a C-3 report for each bank deposit and file these reports with their C-4 reports. Beginning June 1, each deposit must be reported no later than the following Monday. Since contributions must be deposited within 5 business days of receipt, active campaigns will make at least one weekly deposit. C-4 Summary Reports: This report, along with its attached schedules, summarizes the campaign’s financial activity and shows itemized expenditures for a specific period. C-4s are due: Monthly from the beginning of the campaign through May of the election year. If a campaign has over $200 in contributions or expenditures during a month, a C-4 report is filed by the 10th of the following month. Starting in June of the election year and continuing through the primary and general elections, C-4 reports are due 21 and 7 days before each election and on the 10th of the month after the month the election was held with the candidate’s name on the ballot, even if there was little or no activity to report. Specific filing dates are listed in the 2014 Key Reporting Dates for Candidates found under Filer Resources at www.pdc.wa.gov. All PDC reports are considered filed as of the postmark date or, if filed electronically, on the file transfer date. • Where Do I File PDC Reports? Most candidates will file reports only with the PDC. Copies of PDC reports are no longer filed with the county elections officer. City office candidates should check with the appropriate city clerk to determine if there is a local filing requirement. • Must I Have a Separate Campaign Account? Candidates must open a separate campaign account in a bank, credit union or savings and loan institution if they accept monetary contributions. A candidate who personally funds his/her entire campaign and accepts no contributions does not have to open a bank account. These candidates are required to make all campaign records, which may include the personal checkbook register and bank statements, available for public inspection during the eight days before the election. • From Whom May I Accept Contributions? Generally, contributions from individuals, corporations, unions and other organizations are permitted. Candidates subject to contribution limits have special contributor restrictions explained in the PDC’s manuals. By federal law, no foreign corporations or citizens (unless they have green cards), national banks and corporations organized by authority of Congress and federal government contractors may contribute to or spend funds on behalf of U.S. candidates.

• Is There a Contribution Limit? State law sets contribution limits on donations to candidates for: • state executive office • city council* • legislative office • school board • judicial office • Port of Seattle commissioner • county office • mayor*

• Port of Tacoma commissioner • Hospital commissioner in large

districts

There are also limits on contributions given to bona fide political party and caucus political committees. See instruction manuals for details. During the 21 days before the general election, no contributor, except the state committee of a bona fide political party, may give more than a total of $50,000 to a statewide office candidate or $5,000 to any other candidate or political committee (except for ballot measure committees). This restriction also applies to a candidate’s personal funds. Candidates must not accept contributions that exceed their respective limits. *Some cities have adopted more restrictive contribution limits. A candidate for mayor or city council should ask the city clerk whether there are local contribution limits. • Is There an Expenditure Limit? Candidates who choose Mini Reporting self-impose an expenditure limit of $5,000. There are no expenditure limits for candidates who choose Full Reporting. • Must I Identify All Contributors? Anyone who donates monetary and in-kind contributions totaling more than $25 over the course of your campaign must be identified by name and full address. Plus, if an individual gives you more than $100 in the aggregate, you must show this person’s occupation and the name, city and state of his or her employer. • May I Be Reimbursed for the Personal Funds I

Spend on My Campaign? Reimbursements for the candidate’s out-of-pocket campaign expenses must be made within three weeks or the reimbursement counts against the candidate’s loan repayment limit. A candidate can be repaid up to $5,500 for primary election loans and $5,500 for general election loans. A candidate’s contributions to his or her own campaign should be reported as loans in order to be eligible for repayment. • Are There Laws Governing Political Ads? Yes. Details are in the PDC’s Political Advertising brochure or the Political Advertising section in the instruction manual. For more information, contact PDC at

(360) 753-1111, toll-free 1-877-601-2828, [email protected] (e-mail), or visit PDC’s Website (http://www.pdc.wa.gov). Candidate information and training videos are available on the PDC’s Facebook page.
