TO: Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Shannon Kelley-Fong, Assistant to the City Manager
Dave Bugher, Assistant City Manager -- Development Services
THROUGH: John J. Caulfield, City Manager
DATE: February 12, 2018
SUBJECT: State Department of Revenue Master Business Licensing Service
PURPOSE: The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Council with an overview of
the Department of Revenue’s (DOR) Business Licensing Service (BLS). The City could elect
to partner with the DOR in a combined licensing service that would allow licensees and the
City a more efficient way to register businesses. Importantly, under BLS, cities retain local
control. The City would continue to have the ability to approve or deny local licenses, as well
as the ability to revoke city business endorsements that are out of compliance with the
Lakewood Municipal Code (LMC).
BACKGROUND: The state master licensing program was established in the 1977 under the
Department of Licensing (DOL) to help businesses streamline the process of obtaining
business licenses at the state level. In 1997, the program became the “Business Licensing
Service” (BLS) and expanded to include local governments to further streamline applications
statewide; under BLS applicants can concurrently file for business licenses in multiple
jurisdictions. In 2011, the legislature passed SHB 2017 which transferred the state master
licensing program from the DOL to the DOR. In 2017, lawmakers unanimously
approved EHB 2005, which requires cities to partner with BLS by the end of 2027. EHB 2005
was strongly supported by the business community. For businesses, EHB 2005 helps produce
a streamlined, “one-stop shop” for business license procurement across the state.
Through the BLS, the DOR is currently serving over 60 cities and has a strategic plan to
integrate as many cities as possible by 2022. Under BLS, DOR will provide the following
services for the City:
Processing of all applications and renewals;
Issue and mail licenses;
Collect and distribute licensing fees; and
1
003
Follow up on missing payments and information.
The benefits of the BLS for licensees include the following:
Creates a “one-stop-shop” where licensees can apply for over 300 state and city
enforcements at one time;
Licensees can receive one licensing document with all partner endorsements;
Renewal dates are synchronized;
Allows licensees to self-print the licensing document;
Intuitive licensing "wizard" for applicants;
Toll-free customer service line;
Saves a trip to various city halls;
Under BLS, prospective licensees will pay an initial $19 application fee to the DOR and, in
subsequent years, pay an $11 renewal fee to the DOR.
The benefits for partnering Cities include the following:
Saves staff time and resources;
No mailings or collections;
Licenses renewed annually by BLS;
Payments managed by BLS;
GIS integration requires licensing in city limits;
Tax account discovery increases compliance and revenue;
Allows for local regulatory control;
Eliminates the need for cities to maintain a backend system;
Do not pay to partner with BLS;
May generate a variety of on-demand reports, including a list of businesses that did
not apply for a city general business license but indicated a location in that city when
applying for other licenses or endorsements; and
Do not need to respond to certain public records requests since BLS is the system of
record
Importantly, under BLS, cities retain local control. As a BLS partner, the City would retain
the ability to approve or deny local licenses, as well as revoke city business endorsements that
are out of compliance with LMC.
The BLS has the ability to provide the following licenses:
General business
General business (non-resident)
Employee range
Head count (FTE)
Nonprofit
Home occupation
Exempt (no fee)
Small business (reduced fee)
The City has the ability, for now, to retain certain business licenses with the City. At this
time, the City will retain approval for the business licenses listed in Attachment B in-house.
2
004
Attachment A is a copy of the proposed contract which would allow for the DOR to provide
licensing services for the City.
FISCAL IMPACT: Business Licensing Service (BLS) is a self-funded state program. As
such, the business licensing service is provided to cities free of charge. The City’s participation
in BLS would reduce City the level of resources currently required to process business licenses
in-house, including personnel and materials.
The BLS could also lead to increased compliance, which could lead to an increase in City
revenue from business licenses. While savings vary by city, according to the DOR, the City
of Vancouver saw a 15% increase in license revenue after partnering with the DOR under the
BLS. The DOR suggests that the BLS, on average, saves cities approximately half of a full
time employee (.5 FTE) by reducing City processing.
Under BLS, licensees will pay an initial $19 application fee and an $11 renewal fee in
subsequent years to the DOR.
ALTERNATIVES: The City could continue to manage the City’s business licensing in-house
until the mandatory adoption of a combined licensing service in 2027, or until the City decides
to partner with the DOR.
RECOMMENDATION: CED recommends that the City Council approve the contract to
partner with the DOR in the BLS.
NEXT STEPS: Review the attached DOR BLS Contract, Attachment A. On February 20,
2018, CED will return to Council seeking approval of this contract. At a future date, an
ordinance revising LMC Chapter 5 to codify this partnership will be brought to Council for
consideration.

contents of the container. Workstations which access Revenue data on optical discs must be
located in an area which is accessible only to authorized individuals, with access controlled
through use of a key, card key, combination lock, or comparable mechanism.
4) Data storage on portable devices or media.
a) Confidential Licensing Information may be stored by Partner on portable devices or
media provided the data shall be given the following protections:
i. Encrypt the data with a key length of at least 128 bits
ii. Control access to devices with a unique user ID and password or stronger

iii. Manually lock devices whenever they are left unattended and set devices to lock
automatically after a period of inactivity, if this feature is available. Maximum
period of inactivity is 20 minutes.
iv. Physically protect the portable device(s) and/or media by:
• Keeping them in locked storage when not in use;
• Using check-in/check-out procedures when they are shared; and
• Taking frequent inventories.

physical and electronic access. Partner shall establish and implement the following minimum
physical, electronic and managerial safeguards for maintaining the confidentiality of information

access to on-line files containing confidential or sensitive data.
3) Partner shall instruct all individuals with access to the Confidential Licensing Information

4th Quarter Analysis
• 1728001407 – Fatality Vehicle Collision. Vehicle vs. pedestrian at 7820 Grange St W. No impairment noted for driver but victim
may have been intoxicated.
• 1728201071 – There were a number of bomb threats to Clover Park Technical College, and one to Great American Casino. A
case/suspect was developed with strong theory and circumstantial evidence but detectives were unable to get to the prosecutable
level. The calls stopped and the case was closed.
• 1728601463 – Officers responded to 8816 Rose Rd SW in Tillicum where they discovered the bodies of two individuals in what was
identified as a domestic violence murder-suicide.
• 1730302128 – A third person called dispatch to report that a friend at 6575 150th ST SW had just shot his roommate. Upon arrival,
officers discovered two bodies, one of a murder victim and the suspect dead from a self inflicted gunshot wound.
• 1730901239 – Police responded to a person floating in American Lake off the Tillicum Boat Launch. Investigation let to the story of
a man sinking a remote control boat, asking a local transient to go get the boat in frigid water for $100. The victim swam out and
was unable to get back. West Pierce Fire and Rescue were unable to revive the victim.
• Violent Crime numbers bounced upward in 4th Quarter 2017 but mostly due to a surge in simple assaults. Aggravated Assaults
(often used to measure serious violent crime) were down 9% for the year and down 20% from 4th Quarter 2016. Kidnapping was
up, mostly driven by unlawful detaining following domestic incidents as opposed to kidnapping for ransom. Total Crime appears to
be down in Lakewood.
• Property crime also bounced upward in the 4th Quarter but it must be noted that the 3rd Quarter 2017 was very low. Burglaries,
larceny (the biggest number in the property crime category and often the driver of statistics) and robbery were all down in 2017.
Motor Vehicle Thefts saw an increase over 2016 by 2 incidents (373 to 375). Overall, it would appear that Lakewood Property
Crime is slightly down from 2016.
• Apartment numbers are still being driven by smaller size apartments (5-18 Units) when measured by CFS/Units. Serious Calls For
Service in apartments show medium size (14-36 units) apartments (by index). Mobile Home Parks show F&T Trailer Court (12
units) as ahead by index although Jamestown Estates MHP in LD01 led Serious CFS with 5 in 4th Quarter 2017.
• Bars and motels remain relatively quiet in Lakewood. Chips Casino and Oaktree lead the year by Serious CFS but that said, there
were only 11 Serious CFS during the whole 4th Quarter. Motels were led by the Madigan Motel in Ponders with only 2 Serious Calls
For Service. Lakewood Inn and Best Value had 3 Serious Calls but are larger (45 and 55 units respectively) dropping them by index.

AMTRAK train derailment- December 22nd
039
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Sally Martinez, Parks Recreation and Community Services
Through: John J. Caulfield, City Manager
Date: February 1, 2018
Subject: Light Pole Banners and City Beautification - Phase II
Attachments (2): Phase II work program and map
Recap Phase I Banner Project:
The 2017/2018 adopted biennial budget included $10,000 (referred to as Phase 1) to update
and replace light pole banners throughout the community. A subcommittee of City
representatives (recreation, communication, economic development) proposed three new
designs which honor the military, recognize our International District and promote a healthy,
vibrant community. The new banners will supplement our Summerfest, Farmers Market, and
holiday banners. The city currently has 84 banners (34 permanent, 50 seasonal).
Status for Phase II
The goal of Phase II is to create banners and beautification to foster a welcoming and positive
first impression for residents and visitors in Lakewood. The budget for Phase II is $50,000.
Phase II included:
Organizing an external stakeholders group for community input
Developing criteria for banner designs and banner placement
Identifying restrictions and challenges to placement
Researching cots
Developing a Sponsor Program
The Phase II program will be discussed in-depth at the February 12 Council study session.

City of Lakewood Light Pole Banner Project- Phase II
Recap Phase I (Appendix A, pg. 3)
• 34 banners created for $10,000
• Military, International, Healthy Vibrant Community
• Ready for replacement
Phase II
Community Input:
• Met with internal and external stakeholders. Internal: Becky Newton, Margaret Gonzalez-Ruiz,
Shannon Kelley-Fong, Brynn Grimley. External- = 8 businesses/organizations: Lakewood Arts
Commission, West Pierce Fire & Rescue, Asia Pacific Cultural Center, Diamond Designs Unlimited
Jewelers, Bowman and Clark Furniture & Design, Heritage Bank (International District Rep.), Robis
Camera Shop, Chamber of Commerce.
Suggested Criteria for Banner Design (Appendix B, pg. 4)
• Creates positive first impression, welcoming, “feel good at a glance”
• Conveys Lakewood is an inviting community; a good place to live and shop
• Brands Lakewood by highlighting natural resources and lifestyle
• Simple, very bright colors, focus on images – not words
• All designs elements consistent and good fit in any area
• Suggested Designs: oaks, eagles, golf, water skier, walker/jogger, fishing, shopping bag, enlarged
silhouettes, male and female military figures with flag, iconic images.
• Wording to include: “Welcome” (for neighborhoods or entry points) and “Business District”
• Inclusive of Business, neighborhoods and connects outlying areas
Restrictions/Challenges
• Sprawl of business district and neighborhoods
• Utility poles
• Trees with branches in way of light poles (59th str.)
• Construction (Tillicum)
• Locations where there are too many distractions visually
Recommend a mix of approximately 60 banners & 60 self-watering hanging flowers/Planter Boxes
(Appendix C, pg. 5)
• Criteria for hanging flower baskets or potted plant locations. Areas that are:
Pedestrian friendly
Areas that encourage walking
Gathering spaces (i.e., Motor Ave. or Central Business District)
Sponsor Program External Stakeholder Feedback and suggestions (Appendix D, pg. 6):
• Business owners were very receptive to sponsor program
• Suggested no additions to large banner, but a separate, small banner below it with the business
name only, not logos. Could be a placard instead of canvas.
• Create sponsor package with specs for these banners (size, shape, color)
• Businesses pay for: 24”x30” street banner with name (in addition to banner sponsorship cost).
1
041
Suggested Criteria for Banner Placement (Appendix E, pg. 7 and map)
• Three pronged approach to determine placement:
1. Divide banners by the number of districts/neighborhoods where they will be placed.
2. Within the districts/neighborhoods, hone in on streets with the highest traffic counts
3. Have internal stakeholders determine locations based on what will be most aesthetically
pleasing.
• Near gateway signs, at entry/exit points to Lakewood
• Designated areas
Business District
International District
Towne center (59th and Main St. only)
Neighborhoods (Oakbrook, Central Business District, Woodbrook, Springbrook, Kendrick
Street, Lake City, Ponders, & Lakeview Neighborhood)
• Where banners can camouflage eye sores
• Avoid streets/intersections that are cluttered/too busy visually
Budget: (appendix F)
Phase III:
• Future banner placement & Beautification for areas under construction (Tillicum, Gravelly Lk,
Central Business District, etc.)
