INFORMATIONAL MEMO <br />Page 2 <br />DISCUSSION <br />The Committee of the Whole was briefed on the match framework on July 23, 2018 and <br />supported the proposed match by the City of Tukwila. Staff indicated that the ILA would need to <br />come back through Council for final authorization. <br />Since staff briefed the Council last there has been a major development that staff wanted to <br />bring to the Council's attention. Commerce has convened regular meetings of the City <br />Managers and staff from the Mayor's Office from the six cities outlined above. These meetings <br />were initially just staff from the cities and staff from Commerce. However, at the last two <br />meetings convened, members of the public insisted on being in the meeting. At the meeting on <br />August 27 Reps. Tina Orwall and Mike Pellicciotti attended the meeting and encouraged that <br />the working group include community members and that they be open to the public. Commerce <br />followed up this meeting by asking each city and the Port of Seattle to select one person to <br />serve as a community member for their respective agencies. Additionally, the meetings of this <br />group will now be open to the public. This changes the overall dynamic of the working group <br />and staff has concerns on the overall effectiveness of the group. It is extremely unlikely that the <br />initial competition due date of December 2019 will be met now. <br />RECCOMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the Mayor to sign the ILA between the cities of <br />Normandy Park, Burien, Des Moines, SeaTac, and Federal Way for the City to provide <br />$14,445.61 as Tukwila's per capita match for the budget proviso. Staff requests the ILA be <br />placed on the November 5, 2018 consent agenda. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />A.
