Community Services & Safety Committee <br />July 8, 2024 <br />Page 2 <br />FY25/26 BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS <br />King County VSHSL funding supports the vast majority of senior programming provided by the Tukwila <br />Parks and Recreation Department, either through expanded programming opportunities, or lowering <br />and/or removal of participant fees to lessen potential socioeconomic barriers to access. In previous <br />years, the awarded amount per year had been $60,000 per fiscal year. We have confirmed with King <br />County our awarded amounts per fiscal year are as follows: <br />Fiscal Year Amount Awarded <br />2024 (July — December) <br />2025 <br />$45,000 <br />$90,000 <br />2026 <br />$94,500 <br />$229,500 <br />This represents a total increase in secured funding of $79,500 from July of 2024 through December of <br />2026 when considering the previous $60,000/year baseline. Tukwila Parks and Recreation is excited to <br />utilize these increased funds in service to our senior and veteran members of the Tukwila and King <br />County community. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT <br />This grant award is in the form of a reimbursement grant. The grant does not require a match from the <br />City and therefore does not create any net financial impact on the General Fund (000) and/or any other <br />City funds. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends the grant details as presented, an eventual contract with King County DCHS for <br />$229,500 from 7/1/24 — 12/31/26 for senior and veteran programmatic services, be forwarded for <br />approval on the City Council Regular Meeting Agenda on Monday, July 15th <br />Upon approval on July 15th by the City Council and reception of necessary contract documents, staff <br />will seek a review by the City Attorney's Office before seeking the Mayor's signature for execution of <br />the proposed contract. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />None at this time. Department staff are awaiting contract documents from King County. <br />Phone: 206-433-1800 • Email: Mayor@TukwilaWA.gov • Website: TukwilaWA.gov <br />36 <br />
