City of Tukwila Allan Ekberg, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM TO: Community Services and Safety FROM: Stacy Hansen, Human Services Program Coordinator CC: Mayor Ekberg, David Cline DATE: April 13, 2021 SUBJECT: King County Minor Home Repair 2022 authorize grant submission ISSUE The City Council's authorization is necessary for the City to apply to King County for the Community Development Block Grant funds. These funds are for the Tukwila Minor Home Repair program. In 2022, the City will continue its role as fiscal administrator for the Minor Home Repair program in the cities of Tukwila, Covington, Des Moines, and SeaTac. The program successfully assists low- and moderate -income homeowners maintain their homes. The 2022 application is for $100,000 to be equally shared between all four cities (minus a small administration fee for King County). BACKGROUND Human Services staff has been administering this program since 2005. In 2020, 15 unduplicated Tukwila households were served (49 program -wide) consisting of 26 individual projects (77 program wide) and 135 hours of Tukwila repairs (446 program -wide). The 2022 request is for $100,000 for the entire program, consisting of $25,000 in construction dollars for each city. DISCUSSION This application competes county -wide with capital applications from other cities and non-profit agencies. Tukwila Human Services staff participates in discussions to recommend capital projects although unable to vote on any applications affecting Tukwila. FINANCIAL IMPACT Partner cities provide roughly 10-20% of staff time as in-kind to manage and administer the Minor Home Repair program within their respective cities. Since Tukwila is the lead fiscal agent, in addition to administering the program for Tukwila residents, staff is also responsible for the annual application process, contract execution, quarterly bill reimbursement between Tukwila, partner cities and King County. Tukwila Human Services staff also attends all required King County meetings, monitors partner cities to ensure contract compliance and provides on-going technical assistance. Between serving as the fiscal agent and administering the program in Tukwila, the Human Services Program Coordinator spends up to 30% of her time on the Minor Home Repair program. RECOMMENDATION Staff is asking Council to forward this item to the May 3, 2021 Regular Council meeting for the consent agenda. ATTACHMENTS Pre -Application (pages 1-3) — full application will begin by the end of April. 1 2 King County Powered by ZoomGrantsTM King County, WA King County CDBG 2022 Capital Deadline: 5/31/2021 Email This Preview Save as PDF Print Close Window A♦ • City of Tukwila Tukwila, Covington, Des Moines, SeaTac Minor Home Repair Program Jump to: Pre -Application Application Questions Budget Tables Documents $ 100,000.00 Requested Project Contact Stacy Hansen Stacy.Hansen@tukwilawa.gov Tel: 206-433-7180 Additional Contacts none entered Pre -Application tp Project Description City of Tukwila 6200 Southcenter Blvd. Tukwila, WA 98188, WA 98188 City Administrator David Cline David.Cline@tukwilawa.gov Telephone 206-433-1800 Fax 206-433-7191 Web www.tukwilawa.gov EIN 91-6001519 DUNS 010207504 (N)CAGE n -a SAM Expires 1. Provide a brief overview of the project and identify how CDBG funds would be used. Please be specific. The Tukwila, Covington, Des Moines and SeaTac Minor Home Repair Program consortium provides minor health and safety focused repairs in low to moderate income, owner occupied homes in the four city consortium. Repairs may include small plumbing, electrical and other small handyman types of projects. This program is a no -cost program to qualified residents. Each project is limited in cost ($3,400), each household has an annual limit ($5,000) and a lifetime maximum ($10,000). In 2021, the MHR Consortium team determined that increasing the lifetime maximum from $7,500 to $10,000 was critical in order to provide, when needed, multiple projects to a household that had several issues related to delayed maintenance. All projects must go through an environmental review and lead based paint evaluation (based on age of home) by King County staff prior to project start. Designated city staff at each of the partner cities manages its own portion of the budget, contracting, marketing and community outreach. In addition to administering its own MHR program, Tukwila acts as the lead fiscal program manager of the overall grant in the areas of application, quarterly bill submission and providing technical assistance to city partners as needed. 2. What is your organization's mission? How does this project align with your mission? As south King County cities, one of our collective missions is to ensure access to healthy and safe housing for all of its residents. While the need for affordable housing continues to be at an all time high throughout the county, keeping older housing stock well-maintained for low to moderate income, owner occupied households prevents the cycle of postponed maintenance, catastrophic structural damage, potential injury to residents, out of home placement, flipping and home sale, which makes the home no longer affordable. The Minor Home Repair Program allows residents of all ages and abilities to remain safely in their home, chosen community and social/support network while preserving the structural integrity of the home. Project Location 3. Provide the exact address of project site, (not your organization's address unless it is the same location). Preferred format: address, city, state, zip. If the location is an intersection please find the closest address. Please upload at least four photographs of the project site in .jpg format and label the images according to the direction they were taken: for example "project -site -east, project -site -north, etc." Microenterprise and Minor Home Projects use "N/A". 3 N/A Project Category 4.

Logout 1 Browser City of Tukwila Allan Ekberg, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM TO: Community Development & Neighborhoods Committee FROM: Rick Still, Parks & Recreation Director CC: Mayor Ekberg DATE: April 27, 2021 SUBJECT: CFT Grant Application for Property Acquisition on S. 115' Street ISSUE Seeking permission to apply for King County Conservation Futures Trust Tax Levy (CFT) grant funding to purchase property on South 115" Street to expand the Duwamish Hill Preserve. BACKGROUND The purpose of this memorandum is to seek permission to apply for King County Conservation Futures Trust Tax Levy (CFT) funding for the acquisition of property on South 115" Street to expand Duwamish Hill Preserve (DHP). The addition of this property prepares the City for Phase 3 implementation of the City Council approved DHP site master plan. The application was due March 2021. The City provided a support letter as part of Forterra's application for this purchase, however, the CFT review committee believed that if the City was co -applicant it would make the application stronger for a positive recommendation for funding. The property under consideration for acquisition is located on S. 115th Street adjacent to Duwamish Hill Preserve. The accompanying grant documents show the property is 0.35 acre. DISCUSSION The purchase of this property meets the recommendations in the City Council adopted 2007 DHP ("Duwamish Riverbend Hill") Master Plan. This acquisition would initiate the first steps to complete the Phase 3 development (road realignment). The CFT grant program is a 50% match grant. As part of the application, a waiver of the 50% match has been requested. Forterra will continue to partner with us to seek King County Levy funds if the waiver is not secured. Staff would like to partner with Forterra on this application and if necessary, the King County Levy grant application. Together we would continue to look for additional funding opportunities to secure the match difference if the other opportunities are not successful. FINANCIAL IMPACT The match for the grant would be approximately $182,500. It is anticipated that other funding sources would be obtained to minimize direct costs to the City or the grant funds could be returned. RECOMMENDATION The Council Committee is being asked to consider permitting staff to apply for CFT grant funding to purchase property on S. 115th Street to expand the Duwamish Hill Preserve.

PROJECT SUMMARY Please summarize your project in the space below. Duwamish Hill Preserve (the "Preserve") is a 10.5 -acre park owned by the City of Tukwila, managed by its Parks and Recreation Department. This project would expand the Preserve by adding .36 acres to the southeastern portion of the property at the intersection of S 115t St. and 40th Ave. S. The targeted acquisition includes two parcels held by one owner (the "Targeted Parcels"). The Targeted Parcels are currently vacant with significant invasive vegetation cover and were former construction storage lots. The acquisition would serve to: 1) protect from potential development near the Preserve gateway; 2) buffer the Preserve from adjacent residential uses; and 3) allow for pursuit of Phase III of the Preserve Master Plan, likely including expansion of the gateway area, re- alignment of S 115th St., and restoration and native vegetation re-establishment representative of historic site conditions. The owner put the Targeted Parcels on the market in 2016, without success. The owner remains interested in selling and is represented by a real estate agent. Should the acquisition be successful, the City of Tukwila ultimately intends to take ownership of this new acquisition and manage it as part of the Preserve. Duwamish Hill Preserve opened to the public in September 2010. It is a heritage site of significance in Puget Sound Salish cultural traditions and it is managed as an open space preserve devoted to the interpretation of the site's Native American heritage and other aspects of Duwamish River Valley natural and cultural history. Restoration efforts to remove non-native plants and build interpretive trails continue to attract tremendous public and private support for the Preserve. Partners have included Bank of America, REI, Starbucks, Boeing, 1 King County Council District information here: https://www.kingcounty.gov/council/councilmembers/find district.aspx 2 Find WRIA ("watershed resource inventory area") here: https://www5.kingcounty.gov/kcgisreports/wrialookup.aspx 1 13 University of Phoenix, Green River Community College, Friends of the Hill, local Girl Scouts, and Tukwila School District students. SECTION 2. OPEN SPACE RESOURCES • Before answering Sections 2 & 3, please review `Application Evaluation Criteria." • Please mark an "X" in the checkbox for each criterion that applies to your project. • For each criterion you marked, briefly describe in the space below how the project would meet that criterion. If relevant, consider the landscape setting and/or planned restoration actions. N A. Wildlife habitat or rare plant reserve NX F. Urban passive -use natural area/greenbelt Z B. Salmon habitat and aquatic resources ® G. Park, open space, or natural corridor addition NX C. Scenic resources NX H. Passive recreation opportunity in area with unmet needs © D. Community separator ® I. Project that seeks to redress historic disparities in access © E. Historic/cultural resources to open space in opportunity areas A. Wildlife habitat or rare plant reserve: Duwamish Hill Preserve includes rare rocky bald habitat that supports a remnant assemblage of plants, including many culturally significant species. This project is an opportunity to reestablish site conditions on the southeastern side of the bald that that support native riparian moisture -tolerant species. The Preserve supports Alaska rein orchid which is a rare species in urban settings. This orchid has naturally increased in abundance as portions of the Preserve are restored. In addition, osprey, bald eagle, blue heron and river otter are present in this section of the Duwamish River. B. Salmon habitat and aquatic resources: Located at Duwamish RM 7, the Targeted Parcels are adjacent to shoreline portion of the Preserve previously identified for priority projects for WRIA 9 (Project Duw-6 and Duw- 7). Acquisition of the Targeted Parcels provides the opportunity to pursue Phase III of the 2007 Preserve Master Plan, particularly a realigned road. It is necessary to realign South 115th St. in order to restore the riverfront and ultimately provide river access, possibly with beach development. Riverfront restoration opportunities include removing rip -rap and invasive plants, and reshaping and revegetating the Preserve's —700 feet of shoreline to provide refugia for both juvenile and adult salmon. C. Scenic resources: The Preserve offers views up river of Mt. Rainier and downriver of Elliott Bay and downtown Seattle. The Preserve provides an opportunity to experience natural and cultural resources within an urban setting. Acquisition of the Targeted Parcels would protect them from potential development that may intrude on the gateway to the Preserve and views towards the riverfront. In addition, acquisition would allow for cleanup of the Targeted Parcels and add area for public enjoyment. D. Community separator: Acquisition and restoration of the Targeted Parcels ensures a critical visual buffer between the Preserve and surrounding residential uses. The Preserve is at the northern entrance to the Poverty Hill and Allentown residential neighborhoods and serves as a separator from the industrial businesses. E. Historic/cultural resources: The establishment of Duwamish Hill Preserve created one of the Puget Sound region's few public open space properties to honor and interpret Native heritage. The Preserve is a site of significance in Native American cultural traditions for its association with Southern Puget Sound Salish oral tradition and mythology. The Preserve's 160 -foot hill is in the center of the landscape associated with stories known as the "Epic of the Winds." Through consultation with the Muckleshoot and Duwamish tribes, this hill has also been identified as a strategic lookout and vision quest site. The Targeted Parcels are part of Phase III of the Preserve's Master Plan and its acquisition would allow for enhanced interpretive markers. While the property is not yet listed in the National Register of Historic Places, it is potentially eligible for listing as a contributing resource to the Duwamish River Valley Traditional Cultural Property district. This site is also associated with the 40 million year-old outcropping of bedrock known as the "Tukwila Formation". F. Urban passive -use natural area/greenbelt: Duwamish Hill Preserve is identified as a Special Use Park within Tukwila's 2020 Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan. The Preserve was identified as the fourth most visited park, according to the Plan survey, with respondents identifying uses such as gathering with family and friends, exercising, walking with dogs, getting out in nature, and enjoying the outdoors. This project expands the 2 14 10.51 -acre Preserve by .36 acres. The parcels are a targeted addition of the Preserve Master Plan and would provide the ability to complete Phase III, which would enhance access and use of the Preserve and the Duwamish River shoreline. G. Park/open space or natural corridor addition: Duwamish Hill Preserve opened to the public in September 2010. Acquisition of the Targeted Parcels is critical for enhancing the visual and natural visitor experience to the Preserve. This project removes the threat development immediately adjacent to the park gateway along South 115th St. and provides the ability to enhance the Preserve gateway and riverfront access through Phase III of the Preserve Master Plan. H. Passive recreation opportunity/unmet needs: Neighbors have long visited the Preserve to enjoy views of Mount Rainier and the Seattle skyline and experience nature close to home. The Preserve increasingly serves as Tukwila's outdoor classroom for cultural and environmental education and is incorporated into the curriculums for local schools. The Preserve provides important opportunities for residents to enjoy open space and explore natural and cultural heritage through traditional stories, place names, and environmental awareness. Acquisition of the Targeted Parcels will add to opportunities on the Preserve. I. Project that seeks to redress historic disparities in access to open space in opportunity areas. The Preserve is devoted to the interpretation of the site's Native American heritage and other aspects of Duwamish River Valley natural and cultural history. Site's highlighting the indigenous culture have historically been less prominent in park and open space systems. Acquisition of the Targeted Parcels help expand upon natural and cultural resources protection of the Preserve. Furthermore, the Preserve directly serves the ethnically diverse, working class community of Tukwila, where 17% of the residents in this census tract are at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level and 60% of the students at nearby Tukwila Elementary qualify for free or reduced -price meals. Both measures are high compared to most of King County. Life expectancy is low compared to most of King County. Finally, while the Targeted Parcels are adjacent to existing open space in the Preserve and near other parkland, the neighborhood is on the lower end of tree canopy percentage compared to most of King County. Acquisition of the Targeted Parcels further enhance existing open space and protect the property from development that would potentially further increase impervious cover. 3 15 SECTION 3. ADDITIONAL FACTORS • Please mark an "X" in the checkbox for each criterion that applies to your project. • For each criterion you marked, briefly describe in the space below how the project would meet that criterion. If relevant, consider the landscape setting and/or planned restoration actions. ® A. Educational/interpretive opportunity ❑X B. Impact to open space resources ® C. Feasibility: ownership complexity/willing seller(s)/community support ❑X D. Describe any public or private partnerships that will enhance this project © E. Is the property identified in an adopted park, open space, comprehensive, or community plan? ❑ F. Transferable Development Rights (TDR) participation A. Educational/interpretive opportunity: Tukwila School District educators began using the Preserve as an outdoor classroom soon after the Preserve was acquired. Since 2008, the Preserve has been incorporated into school curriculum from elementary to high school levels. In many years the Preserve has been integrated into school district day -of -service opportunities. Implementation of the Preserve's Master Plan includes the development of interpretive content for the site. Signage, kiosks, and other interpretative media were completed on Phase I, the outcrop and entranceway, in 2011. An adjacent 1.9 acres was subsequently acquired and a cultural garden was installed, along with emergent wetland restoration, and woodland planting in 2016. This constitutes Phase II of the Preserve Master Plan and also contained extensive signage and interpretative content. Acquisition of the Targeted Parcels would allow for pursuit of Phase III and additional interpretive content and restoration opportunities. Interpretive content is based on input from Duwamish and Muckleshoot tribal members, educators, and community members, as well as published and archival documentation. Interpretation highlights Native stories and place names, as well as the contact era, early non-native land claims, river history, geology and habitat. The Preserve provides an opportunity for visitors to understand the world inhabited by Southern Puget Sound Salish people prior to contact with non -Indians, as well as the cultural values of the contemporary Muckleshoot and Duwamish people, represented by epic storytelling and traditional geographic and environmental knowledge. The Preserve also offers an opportunity to talk about the importance of preserving Native American cultural sites in Washington, both in rural areas and in our rapidly changing urban landscapes. B. Impact to open space resources: The owner of the Targeted Parcels has held the property for many years as an investment before ultimately putting up for sale. Forterra is currently negotiating an agreement with the owner. Further development of the property would significantly impact the visual experience for visitors to the Preserve. It would also reduce opportunities to reestablish natural conditions on the Targeted Parcels, enhance the Preserve gateway through realignment of the road, and reduce potential to enhance the shoreline habitat along the Duwamish River. C. Feasibility: ownership complexity/willing seller(s)/community support: Both parcels proposed for acquisition are owned by one entity who is currently willing to enter into an agreement with Forterra to sell the fee -simple interest in the properties for fair market value as determined by an MAI appraisal. There is significant community, business and public support for acquisition of these properties for addition to Duwamish Hill Preserve. In addition, the City of Tukwila has provided extensive resources through land management and well as financial contributions ($250,000 towards the prior addition), to maintain the Preserve as an important part of the Tukwila park system and cultural site for the South Puget Sound Salish people. D. Describe any public or private partnerships that will enhance this project: Over the years, numerous individuals and organizations have joined the effort to restore the Preserve and hundreds of community volunteers have worked to remove trash and invasive species, and to plant and monitor native plants. Acquisition of the Targeted Parcels would provide yet another opportunity to remove trash and invasive species, and restore the site through installation of a bioretention swale and other green stormwater infrastructure. 4 16 Since 2006, the Preserve has been a site in the Duwamish Alive! partnership that includes the City of Seattle, King County, the Port of Seattle, Forterra, Duwamish Clean-up Coalition, People for Puget Sound, Green Seattle Partnership, EarthCorps, and the Nature Consortium; entities that work together to raise awareness and appreciation for the Duwamish River and improve its habitat for wildlife, fish and people. Local businesses and educational institutions have committed to the Preserve's restoration by providing volunteers and grant resources, including: Southcenter REI, Interurban Starbucks, Boeing Corp employees, a local Bank of America branch, Alaskan Copper, Tukwila Historical Society the University of Phoenix -Tukwila campus, Green River Community College, Tukwila Community School Collaboration, the Tukwila School District, Inner City Outings, local Girl Scout troops, Friends of the Hill, Forterra members and Tukwila community members. This level of involvement from so many different sources has greatly increased the citizen ownership of the site. The community is proud to steward the Preserve. E. Is the property identified in an adopted park, open space, comprehensive, or community plan? Yes. Duwamish Hill Preserve is identified as a Special Use Park within Tukwila's 2020 Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan. 5 17 SECTION 4. PARCEL DETAILS A. Please provide information about the parcels that are current funding targets, as shown in red on your maps. • No need to list information on the future potential funding targets that are shown in yellow on your maps. • You can find this information on the `Assessor's Report/Property Details" accessed through King County iMap (https://gismaps.kingcounty.gov/iMap/). Add more rows if needed. Parcel Number (do not use hyphen, e.g., 1234567890) Acreage Zoning3 Assessor's "Appraised Land Value"4 Assessor's "Appraised Improvements Value" Estimated Cost to Purchase Desired Property Interest Property Interest Sought (fee, easement, or TBD) 1023049072 .23 0 $170,000 0 $200,000 Fee 3351400005 .13 0 $100,000 0 $125,000 Fee B. How did you estimate the cost to purchase parcels? (e.g., appraisal, estimate from assessor's values, etc.). The Targeted Parcels were previously listed for sale at $325,000 and we estimate that the property will appraise at this value or below, based on an extensive desktop appraisal exercise completed by Forterra using local comparables. C. Describe project readiness, urgency, and potential to phase funding over multiple years. Forterra is working to acquire the Targeted Parcels, which have not been used regularly for ten years or more. The property is overgrown. Forterra is currently in contact with the seller and, after forging a relationship, believes that we can come to a deal on purchase. While Forterra is the applicant, it is intended that the Targeted Parcels will be transferred to the City of Tukwila post -closing to be integrated into management of the Preserve. It is anticipated that Forterra, the City, and other partners will work in concert to acquire funding for cleanup of the property in the future and to pursue Phase III of the Preserve Master Plan. D. Are any parcels enrolled in the Current Use Taxation program, a voluntary conservation program? 5 No SECTION 5. PROPERTY USE, STEWARDSHIP, AND MAINTENANCE A. What is the intended future use of the property (e.g., passive recreation, habitat restoration, timber management, agricultural production)? Will this land be available for public use? The intended use of the property is as a portion of the Duwamish Hill Preserve. In line with the Preserve Master Plan, the Targeted Parcels will ultimately be a location for public use passive recreation, including walking and connecting with nature. Invasive plant removal and site cleanup will precede public use. Habitat restoration on the Targeted Parcels, as well as on adjacent land currently in the Preserve, will likely occur, including native planting and green stormwater infrastructure installation. B. How will the property be stewarded and maintained, and using what funding? Does the property lend itself to volunteer stewardship opportunities or community participation? While Forterra is the applicant, it is intended that the Targeted Parcels will be transferred to the City of Tukwila post -closing to be integrated into management of the Preserve. Forterra would expand its stewardship easement to encompass these properties. Forterra oversees restoration and development efforts for the Preserve, in collaboration with the City of Tukwila. Forterra continues to focus on raising funds to support education programs, from sources such as King Conservation District, and conducts regular work parties to continue restoration efforts and maintenance. Please explain the zoning designation if it is hard to understand (usually most important for urban zoning designations) 4 Parcels enrolled in Current Use Taxation for "Forestry" may not have a valid "appraised land value" or acreage. 5 Visit www.kingcounty.gov/incentives, and use the "Interactive Map" to check enrollment for your target parcel(s). 6 18 The property lends itself well to volunteer stewardship opportunities. Volunteer efforts began soon after initial Preserve acquisition and have continued since. Volunteers have provided a significant portion of the labor associated with removing invasive plants, replanting the Preserve with native species, site planning and development. Community support for the Preserve is strong, as noted above, and reflected in Friends of the Hill work parties that generate more than 1,500 volunteer hours a year. C. What are the biggest challenges you anticipate in managing this site? The most significant challenges will be those faced on any public site and currently on the Preserve. Namely, trash removal and deterrence of prohibited uses. Given the extensive partnerships in managing the current Preserve it is not anticipated that acquisition of the Targeted Parcels will change current management protocol at the park. Given the overgrown nature of the Targeted Parcels, it is likely that extensive removal of trash and invasive plants will be the initial management activity before any further restoration and/or public access can occur. D. Are there any structures on the target parcel(s)? Explain the plans for the structures (typically demolition is needed to comply with CFT requirements). There are no structures. E. Do you intend to hold out any part of the site for non-CFT-eligible activities, such as intensive recreation or retaining a structure on a fee purchase? (Funds used for that purchase can't count as CFT match.) No 7 19 SECTION 6.

Please take four actions: 1. Review the guidance online at www kingcounty.gov/CFTmatchwaiver. 2. Request a Data Report for your parcel with information that may help you complete this Supplemental Form; contact CFT Coordinator (email Ingrid.Lundin@kingcounty.gov). 3. Begin or continue community engagement around this project. Please focus on engagement with the local neighborhood or population that will be served by the project (outreaching to individuals and/or community- based organizations). 4. Attach two letters of support for the project, ideally from community-based organizations. When you meet with the Committee, please be prepared to talk about how your local government is working on equitable community development and preventing displacement of residents in the neighborhood where you propose to add greenspace. 1. On the data report, did you automatically qualify as an opportunity area under Method 1, meeting all three criteria? ❑ Yes ® No 2. Please discuss why you believe your project location qualifies as an "opportunity area" and should be granted a match waiver. • All applicants complete this question, even if you marked "yes" in Question 1 above. • Use information in the Data Report or other relevant information. • Discuss how people in this neighborhood experience limited open space access and demonstrated hardships (e.g. income, health, social/demographic, environmental factors, etc). The King County data report qualifies this project in both the Income and Hospitalization Rates criteria, but does not qualify it for Access to Open Space because it is adjacent to existing open space — the current Duwamish Hill Preserve. It is worth noting that Duwamish Hill Preserve serves as the hub of open space along this section of the Duwamish River. Along with the nearby Interurban Trail, there is a critical mass of open space facilities developing along the Duwamish to highlight cultural and natural resources, such as Duwamish Gardens Park. An addition to Duwamish Hill preserve, in the form of the Targeted Parcels, further expands existing open space along this important corridor. Additional information was identified that qualifies this request for a match waiver. This property is in a census tract where 17% of households are at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level. The census tract is within the top 1/3 of all census tracts in the county in the 68th percentile. Tukwila Elementary, the local elementary school, is in the top 1/3 percentile for utilization of Free & Reduced Price school meals countywide. Of the student body, 60% are eligible for free or reduced lunch. Life expectancy is low compared to most of King County as the census tract falls within the lowest 1/3 percentile at an average of 78.7 years. The Preserve is also within vicinity of populations with limited English speakers, which is in the in the highest 1/3 of the county percentiles (73rd percentile). The population of the census tract with Duwamish Hill Preserve is comprised of 74% people of color, which places it within the 97' percentile — one of the highest county -wide. 10 22 While the Targeted Parcels are adjacent to existing open space in the Preserve and near other parkland, the neighborhood is on the lower end of tree canopy percentage compared to most of King County. Acquisition of the Targeted Parcels will enhance open space and protect the property from development that would potentially further increase impervious cover. Using the RCO match reduction tool qualifies Tukwila under the Underserved Populations category — identified as "A city, town, tribe, or special purpose district with a median household income less than $66,174 (the state median household income), and a project in a census block group where the median household income is less than $46,322 (70 percent of the state median household income)." Also using the RCO match reduction tool, the geographically close Muckleshoot Tribe is qualified under both the Underserved Populations and Communities in Need categories. The Communities in Need category is defined as "A city, town, tribe, or eligible special purpose district with 20,000 residents or fewer and a median household income less than $66,174 (the state median household income)." Acquisition of the Targeted Parcels is intended to enhance the Duwamish Hill Preserve, a park protecting South Puget Sound Salish cultural resources and access, along with Tribal education. The CDC's Social Vulnerability Index puts Census Tract 263, containing Duwamish Hill preserve, in a moderate to high class of vulnerability. The WA State Health Department has identified this census tract as a level 10/10 for Environmental Health Disparities. This includes a 10/10 for Environmental Exposures, 10/10 for Environmental Effects, 10/10 for Sensitive Groups, and a 7/10 for Socioeconomic Factors. The county's 2020 Equity Impact Awareness Tool is used to track and inform decisions regarding COVID-19 and risks to economic resilience. Scores from 1 to 8 are possible, with an 8 being an area with the highest risk for prolonged impacts with the least amount of resources to recover. Seatac/Tukwila includes Duwamish Hill Preserve and the compound score totals a 7 out of 8. Of note: Seatac/Tukwila has higher thresholds (>25%) for Race indicators, is high in the Asset Poverty indicator (>16% food insecurity), and less than 50% of the population owns their own home. Overall, Seatac/Tukwila is tied for the highest score in the county, meaning it's a community at higher risk for prolonged impacts with less resources than nearly all other areas in the county. This project would serve all the identified population discussed above and we believe that this CFT request qualifies for a match waiver. 11 23 3. Describe in detail your recent engagement and collaboration with community-based organizations and/or members of the community regarding this project. In particular, focus on the local neighborhood or population served by the project, and how community leadership has been is integrated into the engagement process and/or will be part of site development. • For example: direct engagement with nearby residents and/or community-based organizations representing this area; holding an open forum or discussion with the neighborhood; carrying out a planning process for this area. • If applicable, you can attach materials from your community engagement (e.g. announcements). Engagement and collaboration has occurred with a wide variety of the community regarding Duwamish Hill Preserve. Acquisition of the Targeted Parcels offers yet another opportunity to involve the community in restoration, to develop interpretive content at the lead of Tribal members, and further the partnership between the City of Tukwila, Forterra, and others. Interpretive content is based on input from Duwamish and Muckleshoot tribal members, educators, and community members, as well as published and archival documentation. Interpretation highlights Native stories and place names, as well as the contact era, early non-native land claims, river history, geology and habitat. The Preserve provides an opportunity for visitors to understand the world inhabited by Southern Puget Sound Salish people prior to contact with non -Indians, as well as the cultural values of the contemporary Muckleshoot and Duwamish people, represented by epic storytelling and traditional geographic and environmental knowledge.

This level of involvement from so many different sources has greatly increased the citizen ownership of the site. The community is proud to steward the Preserve. Finally, the City of Tukwila is supportive of partnering with Forterra on the acquisition. While Forterra is the applicant, it is intended that the Targeted Parcels will be transferred to the City of Tukwila post -closing to be integrated into management of the Preserve. Forterra would expand its stewardship easement to encompass these properties. Forterra oversees restoration and development efforts for the Preserve, in collaboration with the City of Tukwila. Forterra continues to focus on raising funds to support education programs, from sources such as King Conservation District, and conducts regular work parties to continue restoration efforts and maintenance. 4. If you are not granted a match waiver, do you want to be considered for a CFT award for 50% of your original CFT request amount, which would require dollar -for -dollar match? ❑X Yes ❑ No • If you answered "yes," please discuss how you intend to raise the matching funds Forterra and community partners would apply for additional funding through localsources, including Parks Levy, or other funding sources if a match waiver is not successful. 12 24 (Delete this page if not submitting Supplemental Form #2 with application) SUPPLEMENTAL FORM #2: NON-GOVERNMENTAL APPLICANTS ONLY complete Supplemental Form #2 if you are a non-governmental applicant.

Duwamish Hill Preserve Addition Dear Forterra, The City of Tukwila enthusiastically supports Forterra's efforts to acquire funding, through King County Conservation Futures (CFT), Parks Levy, or other sources, to add .35 acres to the existing 10.5 Duwamish Hill Preserve. This addition to the Preserve will increase the opportunity for public access to the natural area. King County remains a critical supporter of land conservation initiatives and this project would not be possible without its support. CFT previously supported both acquisitions that currently comprise Duwamish Hill Preserve. The City of Tukwila's Parks and Recreation Department currently owns and manages the Duwamish Hill Preserve. This expansion of the Park is in alignment with the City's current management plans for these recreational, cultural, and natural resources. The City intends to ultimately take ownership and manage this acquisition in accordance with the Duwamish Hill Preserve Master Plan. The Duwamish Hill Preserve is an area of significance to the Puget Sound Salish cultural traditions. The Preserve is currently managed as an open space preserve devoted to the interpretation of the site's Native American heritage and other aspects of the Duwamish River Valley natural and cultural history. This proposed Preserve addition will continue to expand the protection of these critical resources. The conservation project is located in an area that experiences high levels of air pollution due to vehicle, train, and airplane traffic. Increases to the Preserve will help to mitigate the impacts of pollution and will help protect these ecological, cultural, and social resources for an underserved community. Without this acquisition, the Preserve continues to face threats from subdivision and development. The City encourages Forterra's grant application(s) to be fully funded to further protect the Duwamish River corridor and its riparian and cultural resources.

Duwamish Hill Preserve Addition i 1 1 Dear Forterra, The Duwamish People enthusiastically supports Forterra's efforts to acquire funding through King County Conservation Futures (CFT), Parks Levy, or other sources to add .35 acres to the existing 10.5 -acre Duwamish Hill Preserve. This addition to the Preserve will increase the opportunity for public access to the natural area. King County remains a critical supporter of land conservation initiatives, and this project would not be possible without its support. CFT previously supported both acquisitions that currently comprise Duwamish Hill Preserve. The Duwamish People have lived in the land that comprises the Duwamish River Watershed for millennia and have depended on the natural resources of the river and its riparian corridor long before it faced its current degradation. The natural resources of the region are integral to protect and maintain for future generations, and this current proposed expansion of the Duwamish Hill Preserve will provide the opportunity to further protect the Duwamish River Corridor and will elcpand our further partnership with forterra to create educational opportunities for the general public. The Duwamish Hill Preserve is an area of significance to the Duwamish Puget Salish cultural traditions.

BACKGROUND In accordance with the city's stated goals of a High -Performing & Effective Organization and a Positive Community Identity & Image for all Tukwila community members, the Police Department recognizes that there is a need for collaboration of services when it comes to mental health and chemical addiction issues within the City of Tukwila. Our objective is to reduce the number of mentally ill and chemically dependent interventions that requires jail and hospitalizations. The police department also recognizes the need for diversion of mentally ill and chemically dependent youth and adults from entering the Criminal Justice System. Co - responder programs throughout the nation have been effective in reducing the number of people entering the Criminal Justice System, while providing appropriate resources for their illness. The department needs to provide services that provide the appropriate high-quality services for our community members. DISCUSSION The South King County regional co -responder program is a collaborative approach designed to address the City of Tukwila's desire to ensure Tukwila's mentally ill and chemically dependent residents have access to community treatment in lieu of incarceration for non-violent misdemeanor offenses where the individual is identified by officers and confirmed by a mental health professional (MHP) to be demonstrating behaviors symptomatic of a mental disorder and/or co-occurring disorder (combining mental health behavioral disorders with substance use disorders). The program accomplishes this goal by: 1) mental health professionals who respond to calls when officers ask for professional (consultive) assistance by the MHP's; 2) working with and educating officers in traditional methods employed by mental health professionals to de- escalate individuals demonstrating behavioral health concerns as well as assist in providing support to identify symptoms stemming from mental illness versus chemically altered behaviors; 3) ensure appropriate community services are accessed to facilitate diversion, including community after-care services are available to individuals diverted from incarceration. FINANCIAL IMPACT There is no financial impact at this time, as this program is 100% grant funded. However, the program is only supported with funds for a six-month period. The regional partners will be exploring funding options to continue the services, dependent on the success of the program. 37 38 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 RECOMMENDATION Information Only ATTACHMENTS South King County Co -Responder Project Narrative https://tukwilawa.sharepoint.com/sites/mayorsoffice/cc/Council Agenda Items/Police/Co-responder memo 04-13-21.doc South King County Co -Responder Project Narrative Project Description The South King County Co -Responder Program will be a partnership that includes the police departments of Algona, Auburn, Des Moines, Federal Way, Kent, Pacific, Renton and Tukwila along with the King County Behavioral Health and Recovery Division (BHRD) and King County Behavioral Health agencies to provide a coordinated response to those in South King County experiencing mental health crisis and emergencies. This partnership between law enforcement and mental health professionals is the collaborative effort necessary to respond to community members in need. This shared approach has been shown to improve engagement with people experiencing crises and reduce the rate in which individuals experiencing mental health crises are incarcerated. The mental health co -responders will engage directly with officers from the participating law enforcement agencies and will be employees of a licensed behavioral health agency. The co -responders will be housed at the Des Moines Police Sub -Station located at 272nd and Pacific Highway South. This location borders three of the participating agency jurisdictions. The co -responders may also be provided with desk space at participating agency stations as necessary to travel the South King County region effectively. There will be an assigned Assistant Chief or Commander from one of the participating agencies to serve as the Program Supervisor, to provide program oversight, data tracking and coordination. The Program Supervisor will report to the Program Manager, who will oversee the budget and program development. The Program Manager will report to the program team, which consists of the Chief of each participating agency and representatives from the Behavioral Health agency. How does the approach comply with HB 2892? The approach taken by the South King County Police Departments and King County with this co - responder program reflects the intent of the Mental Health Field Response Program as described in HB2892, including but not limited to, Section 1, paragraphs 2 and 3 and the Purpose Statement on page 1 of this grant application. This approach provides for a wraparound plan with dedicated Mental Health Professionals and Mental Health Navigators available to law enforcement during work hours and in an on-call capacity. This coordinated response will provide for the ability to safely and sensitively respond to people in crisis. The goal is to provide crisis intervention services and refer to and promote treatment, and when possible avoid incarceration and hospitalization. The majority of the officers from the participating agencies have completed the Crisis Intervention Training through the State of Washington 8 and 40 hour courses. Members of the participating Law Enforcement Agencies have been meeting with Representatives of the Washington State Legislature — including their staff, Behavioral Health service providers and the King County Behavioral Health and Recovery Division to develop a comprehensive plan to safely respond to and prevent the deeper involvement of vulnerable individuals in the justice system. The addition of Mental Health Navigators will assist those in need with preventative and follow-up services once the initial call from crisis services is resolved. 39 The Puget Sound Regional Fire Authority and South King Fire and Rescue serve the majority of jurisdictions in this application. Each of these agencies deploy a "FD Cares" program that consists of firefighters and Mental Health Professionals that focus on following up on those who need mental health services but are not currently in crisis. The "FD Cares" programs have agreed to be participants in the South King County Mental Health Field Response Team Program specifically in the area of prevention and follow-up. The Valley Communications Center provides dispatch services for the participating cities in this program. Valley Com is supportive of enhancing their operations to maximize the goals of this program. Describe the link between the intended participants' needs and the programs ability to serve those needs The meetings mentioned above provide structure and information to allow the participants needs to be discussed and acted upon. There is an existing mobile crisis unit within King County that provides service when possible. This dedicated program includes Mental Health Care Coordinators and coordinates with the "FD Cares" program to ensure the needs of the participants are met. The value of a co -responder model has been proven in jurisdictions across the country, including many in Washington State. Law enforcement agencies, along with mental health professionals, have the expertise and vision needed to make this model a permanent part of their department. Provide a description of the service area and included catchment area(s). The service area consists of the Cities of Algona, Auburn, Des Moines, Federal Way, Kent, Pacific, Renton and Tukwila in South King County. South King County as a whole is 865 square miles. Each of these cities has its own police department that provides structure and staffing for their specific jurisdiction. The mental health co -responders will be centrally located within these jurisdictions to account for timely travel time and response to calls. What process will be used to determine protocols and processes for gathering information from callers by the call takers and dispatchers The involved agencies in this program are all served by Valley Communications Center. Valley Com uses Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) to take information on various types of calls. Valley Com has specific SOP's for call takers and dispatchers when receiving calls for those who may have mental health emergencies. Valley Com uses a Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system. In addition to radio communications between dispatchers and officers, information is shared via in vehicle computers allowing for officers to have accurate information in the field. How many participants does the program anticipate it will contact and how many will it serve? In 2019, 1,802 individuals in South King County were referred to the Behavioral Health & Recovery Division's (BHRD) Crisis Commitment Services (CCS). CCS conducts assessments to determine if an individual is a danger to themselves, a danger to others, or is gravely disabled to a point where he/she needs to be involuntarily detained to a psychiatric hospital for 72 hours. 40 Of the 1802 referrals to CCS for South King County residents in 2019, 78% (1411 of 1802) were assessed for potential detention. Of those numbers, 71% (or 1001) were involuntarily detained or voluntarily hospitalized. 21% of those referred to CCS (1,802 of 8,680) were individuals residing in South King County and another 27% (2,326 of 8,680) were missing address data. Among those referral's, 64% came from health care facilities, 21% from family and community members and 9% were from the criminal Justice system. Although this data reflects the number of South King County residents who were experiencing a mental health crisis in the community and needed evaluation to determine whether psychiatric hospitalization was necessary, the majority of the cases did not involve law enforcement. For those cases that did involve law enforcement, it is anticipated that had this mental health co - responder team been in place in South King County in 2019, the overall number of referrals to the CCS team could have been reduced. It is anticipated that the mental health co -responder team could have assisted some of these individual in avoiding either jail or psychiatric hospitalization. Explain the training approach to be implemented throughout the program for the law enforcement officers, call takers/dispatchers and behavioral health personnel to operate successfully and competently within your agency. The training approach will consist of the Program Supervisor partnering with supervisors from the involved law enforcement agencies, King County Behavioral Health and Recovery Division, the co - responder employer behavioral health agency, and Valley Communications Center to develop a comprehensive training plan and standard operating procedures to be presented to all personnel involved. Utilizing the data collection tool, Open Lattice, as described in the grant description, will be the best provider of possible resources for the individual experiencing the crisis in real-time. Utilizing this in response to calls, and following up with the shareable Crisis Template, will be tantamount in operation success and training within the Co -Responder Program. Describe the steps the program will take to transition diverted individuals from short-term services to more permanent community support services In discussions with regional Mental Health Professionals, on best practices — the following are the steps our Co -Responder program would take in diverting individuals in crisis from short-term to more permanent community support services. • The first and most pertinent step is de-escalation and reducing the immediate crisis. • The second primary goal it to assess the individual for short term needs, such as food and shelter. • The third goal is to connect clients to providers and resources that are best suited to their immediate and long term needs. • Creating the connections to the clients needing care often involves transporting clients to those long term providers, and making care plans in conjunction with support systems to minimize future 911 crisis needs. 41 • Clients can be high utilizers of 911 and their support systems. Long-term consistent solutions will minimize future 911 crisis needs and assist in stabilization. What wraparound linkage services and resources will be provided in the program and how are these consistent with evidence -based practices? Utilizing the Mental Health Professional (MHP) at the scene alongside law enforcement will ensure an immediate and appropriate response. The individual in crisis will be provided the tools needed in a crisis to de-escalate and plan for next steps. The individual will be provided the least restrictive intervention, so long as the safety of the individual, law enforcement, and the MHP is maintained. The model will also be able to access the evaluation of a Crisis & Commitment Services Designated Crisis Responder (DCR) should the situation rise to a level of needing assessment for involuntary detention (psychiatric hospitalization). The co -responder model seeks to increase earlier and more efficient intervention for community members with mental illness who may come into contact with law enforcement. This is consistent with evidence -based practices as it develops a positive and trusting relationship between the law enforcement officers and the mental health professionals involved. This continual partnership will help change the narrative and create a more holistic and sensitive intervention to crises. Staffing the Co -Responder team by utilizing community based behavioral health agencies currently established in South King County will ensure individuals in need will be provided ongoing support by providers who are an integral part of the community and know the needs of individuals and families across the South King County region. Being mindful of collaboration with BIPOC organizations and peer recovery and support organizations will be integral. The greater outreach community is encountering these individuals on a regular basis and often do not always have the skill to disrupt the cycle of untreated mental illness, substance abuse and chronic homelessness. Project Need Vulnerable community members are increasingly not provided the immediate care and attention they need. Often, support is provided through various providers, through the criminal justice system, and frankly too late. Individuals experiencing homelessness, those with cognitive impairments, mental health and addiction struggles, as well as countless other circumstances, need immediate response, support and care. Providing immediate intervention, followed by connection to long term care and services will provide a sustainable model for this Co -Responder program. Often Police and Fire Personnel's role is to intervene immediately, de-escalate and respond appropriately to each scene. Vulnerable community members need the wrap around care to continue beyond that one crisis or call. It will be a collective effort by our community- for our community. This model will be sustainable and will be the long term solution for those who need more support. Protect Personnel The South King County cities partnering in this effort will utilize their Police Departments to collaborate with the Mental Health Professionals funded by this grant to respond to a significant need for crisis 42 intervention and de-escalation. The first response alongside police will be the Mental Health Professional. (MHP) who will be trained in de-escalation and crisis response. The two Navigators will provide follow up care and connection to treatment and will support the individual through the immediate crisis and into longer term care, if possible. Co -Responders • Mental Health Professional — provides crisis intervention, de-escalation, behavioral health consultation, and necessary evaluation on scene, alongside PD. • Navigator- Two navigator positions will work directly with the MHP to assist in the crisis intervention and develop a treatment plan for the individual to receive follow-up services after the resolution of the crisis. They will perform a liaison role and will aid in connecting those in crisis to resources and necessary follow-up and/or treatment. They will be housed at the Des Moines substation alongside the MHP. They will assist in follow up needs, crisis prevention planning, and help first responders in South King County to address the needs of individuals with behavioral health issues. The Navigators will work with those identified by police and fire personnel as being at risk of crisis or arrest. The goal will be diversion from incarceration. The Navigator will serve as a resource for the first responders. • *Designated Crisis Responder *- available to assess for involuntary commitment to a psychiatric hospital, if necessary, if the individual is a danger to themselves, others or gravely disabled • Supervisor — A selected behavioral health agency will supervise the MHP and Navigators positions. • Assistant Chief / Commander — Each area Police Department will serve as a program manager/contact for that specific department. • Lead Agency Program Manager — Chief Ken Thomas, Des Moines PD. Chief Thomas will oversee Des Moines police officers and support the MHP and Navigator positions. • South King County Police Departments - Algona, Auburn, Federal Way, Kent, Pacific, Renton, and Tukwila Police Departments. These partners will utilize the common MHP and Navigators in their response to mental health crises. Partnership and Collaboration how will the program cultivate the development of a coordinated system of care that integrates all services (referral, intake, case planning, service delivery, case management, evaluation) and includes a feedback loop to all program partners? The Co -Responder model will implement a coordinated system of care to respond to the potential mental health needs. • Assessments of mental health conditions, including safety/risk assessment • Guided support in accessing community resources • The MHP and Navigator will be a liaison between the individual with a behavioral health issue, the community partners necessary, and the police. • The MHP and Navigator will report back to the BHR Supervisor and collaborate with the Assistant Chief/Commander representative from the specific jurisdiction. • The MHP and Navigator will maintain thorough records to ensure access and communication amongst all regional partners. 43 • Case planning and troubleshooting will occur within each jurisdiction, but also in a regional capacity with monthly meetings and consultations. • Continue to strive for better — with guidance, support, and feedback from partners. Services • Describe the partnerships proposed for stabilization, observation, disposition and custodial transfer. The co -responder model will utilize our community agency partners in our wraparound approach to the best possible outcomes for individuals in crisis. Consultation will occur across dispositions, and there will be open lines of communication amongst the team. • What is the process for assessing participants for danger to self and others; what assessment resources will be used? The behavioral health staff (MHP and Navigators) will be trained in crisis intervention, including the assessment to determine if one is a danger to themselves or others. Staff will have access to the Crisis & Commitment Services team for consultation and training resources. Assessment documents will be implemented to ensure standardization and validity of assessments. • Explain which resources will be engaged for participants who are considered "high utilizers" upon referral, and ongoing. Individuals who are identified as high utilizers of behavioral health services and the legal system will receive case consultation to develop a care plan that supports intervention to reduce the frequency of contact with law enforcement and/or crisis services. • Describe how individualized case plans will be developed and updated and how this information will be shared with the participant and the Mental Health Field Response Team. The Co -Responder model links the entire South King County region in a coordinated, effectual response. The MHP and Navigators can relay pertinent information to community service agencies and can provide the individual the best treatment possible. The Co -Responder team would have weekly debrief meetings, in which all cases and calls would be discussed, analyzed and reviewed. 44 Tukwila Police Department Community Services and Safety Committee Quarterly Information Brief First Quarter, 2021 A Wor .-C ass Po ice De.artment De iverin: Pro essiona Law En orcement Servic- FIRST QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS LJ Staffing • • New Records Specialists ❖ Charlynn Quintana ❖ Noe Gonzales • • New Entry -Level Police Officer -Carlos Haye ❖ New Emergency Manager - Mindi Mattson ❖ New Chief - Eric Dreyer111:11'( LJ Recognition ❖ Employee appreciation A Wor .-C ass Po ice De.artment De iverin: Pro essiona Law En orcement Servic- ffIC FIRST QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS UCommunity Engagement ❖ Continued Homeless Camp Check/Monitoring ❖ Meetings With Foster Point Neighborhood ❖ Meetings With Tukwila School District ❖ Meetings With COPCAB ❖ Safety And Security Awareness Meeting With Spice Bridge Multi -Ethnic Fc Bazaar ❖ Meeting With Director Of Crime And Justice Research Center ❖ Meeting With Theft 3 And Mall Safety (T3AMS) ❖ Meeting With Museum Of Flight Management Team ❖ Meeting with Days Inn Motel Management ❖ Use Of Force Review Board With Community Representatives ❖ Continued Engagement At Abu Bakr Mosque and Riverton Church A Wor .-C ass Po ice De.artment De iverin: Pro essiona Law En orcement Servic- FIRST QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS ❑Significant Operations & Events ❖ Monthly Department Town Hall Meetings ❖ LETCSA Training ❖ Monthly Chiefs' Meetings ❖ Records and Evidence Storage Move ❖ Public Disclosure Requests ❖ 789 New Requests ••• Hotspots Investigations ❖ Tukwila International Blvd ❖ Interurban Ave. S. ❖ West Valley Highway ❖ Narcotics Investigations ••• Accreditation Process A Wor .-C ass Po ice De.artment De iverin: Pro essiona Law En orcement Servic- 3500 3000 2500 2000 1500 1000 500 0 900 800 700 600 500 400 300 200 100 0 FIRST QUARTER CRIME STATISTICS Calls for Service by Month Comparison of 2021 to 2000-2020 Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Case Reports by Month Comparison of 2021 to 2000-2020 1.-0 I I I ' I Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec January and February totals in both calls for service and case reports were lower than usual, with March at the bottom of the expected range compared to past 2000-2020 range years. —0-2021 J 2000-2020 range •2021 While Burglary 1 and 2 (primarily commercial burglary) went up in February, numbers in January and March were in normal range.

The purpose of this memorandum is to inform the CSS of the formation of this working group and the process it intends to use to carry -out its mission. BACKGROUND Mandated by Council via Ordinance 2621, the Fire Department commissioned CPSM to provide an independent review of Fire's budgetary and management practices. CPSM presented their findings to Council on March 8th and subsequent discussions were held during the March 15th CSS meeting. DISCUSSION At the direction of the Mayor, an internal working group consisting of Mayor Allan Ekberg, City Administrator David Cline, Finance Director Vicky Carlsen, Fire Chief Jay Wittwer, Deputy Fire Chief Norm Golden, HR Director Juan Padilla, Local 2088 President James Booth, and Public Safety Budget Analyst Jake Berry has been established. This group with work closely with City Council and Community Services and Safety Committee members as well asThe group will also work with Tukwila Staff from other departments to gain their input and to leverage their knowledge. With the ultimate goal of providing a high-quality Fire Service at a sustainable cost, the group will evaluate the recommendations (both specified and implied) contained within the CPSM report and determine which are reasonable priorities from a contractual, data, and time -based standpoint. The group will research and evaluate other teams that have created value -driven processes so that we can learn from their achievements and challenges. We understand that change is desired immediately but we believe this issue is too important to rush. Community Engagement The working group plans to seek the assistance and input of the Community. Because the group values the advice and knowledge of the Community, we would like to formally invite Community members to actively participate in some of our discussions. These Community members will be selected via a Boards and Commissions type process. To include a diverse set of knowledge we will seek representatives from our business and residential Communities by reaching out to civic groups, multi -family groups, business developers, and other groups as the Committee directs. Applications to join our discussions will be sent to these groups and then, once received, will be presented to the Committee for vetting and acceptance. The group would also like to invite a Page 1 of 2 51 representative from another Fire Department within Zone 3 to provide an expert third -party perspective. The purpose of including such a large and diverse set of experts and stakeholders is to foster a co -creative space that will allow for the collaborative development necessary to achieve our primary goal. Financial Sustainability The term "Financial Sustainability" has become a hot topic since the release of the CPSM report and the Group would like Committee's input on how we define this term. What does Financial Sustainability mean to the Committee? What are the associated service -level implications? High -Level Process Once we have defined Financial Sustainability and Community Engagement, the group will evaluate the 37 stated recommendations (as well as some unstated recommendations found within the report) to determine which meet the following criteria: • Reasonable: as CPSM's Mr. lacona stated, not all of the recommendations will make sense for Tukwila • Not Bargaining Related: because the Local 2088 contract runs through 2022, we will focus on those recommendations that can be accomplished in the meantime • Impactful: based on cost (or savings) and the return to the Community • Label as either Policy or Procedure -Related: to determine involvement and timeline From the recommendations that remain, we will identify those that are easiest to accomplish, the "low hanging fruit". Tackling these tasks first will allow us to test and refine our process and prepare us for the larger tasks. Attachment #1 is a table containing questions the group has received from Council as well as the group's response to each of the questions. We will include an updated version of this table with each update to CSS and the Council. The Mayor stated to the working group that providing a high-quality Fire Service at a sustainable cost is one of the City's highest priorities and has drafted a team charter to guide the group and to frame its actions and responsibilities. That charter is included as Attachment #2. FINANCIAL IMPACT None at this time. RECOMMENDATION Provided for informational purposes only. We ask that Committee approves the formation of this Task Force and the updated Charter. With Committee approval, the Group will present to C.O.W on April 26th to seek their input and approval. This will allow the group to begin recruiting Task Force members in May. ATTACHMENTS 1. CPSM Operational & Administrative Analysis: Council Question Follow -Up & Parking Lot 2.
