INFORMATIONAL MEMO <br />Page 2 <br />Community Connectors Program <br />The Community Connectors Program is currently on hold. Global to Local, the City's partner in <br />this program, has had staff changes and capacity limitations that have limited their ability to <br />support the program. As such, the City of Tukwila did not pursue its contractual relationship <br />into 2020. Additionally, it has become clear that there is a need to re-examine the City's <br />Community Connectors program in order to ensure it is meeting the intended goals. Earlier this <br />year staff began a "listening tour" with former Connectors, representatives from community - <br />based organizations and other stakeholders to determine next steps. The idea is to identify <br />new stakeholders that have the capacity and resiliency to work in partnership with the City to <br />meet our goals of inclusive outreach and communication. <br />Previous to the pandemic, the plan was to develop a proposal for a "Community Connectors <br />2.0" once the Census outreach was complete this Spring. Due to the uncertainty of the <br />unknown with regard to the pandemic and shifting priorities to support senior meal delivery <br />and the Tukwila Pantry, staff currently expects to have the program developed by third quarter <br />of this year. <br />66 Administrative Services Department Community Connectors Program 2020 <br />
