City of Tukwila <br />Allan Ekberg, Mayor <br />INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM <br />TO: <br />Planning and Community Development Committee <br />FROM: <br />Derek Speck, Economic Development Administrator <br />CC: <br />Mayor Ekberg <br />DATE: <br />March 28, 2022 <br />SUBJECT: Update on Tukwila Village Community Development Association <br />ISSUE <br />Update on the Tukwila Village Community Development Association (TVCDA). <br />BACKGROUND <br />On January 18, 2022 Economic Development staff presented our 2022 work plan to the <br />Planning and Community Development committee. One of the items on the workplan is to <br />"position Tukwila Village Community Development Associates for self-sufficiency" and the <br />Committee asked staff to return later in the year to provide a more detailed update on TVCDA. <br />Note: the workplan used the word "associates" but "association" is more appropriate. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The Tukwila Village Community Development Association was formed in 2018. A description of <br />the formation partners, process, history, and rationale is included in the attached staff memo to <br />the Planning and Community Development Committee dated February 23, 2021. <br />TVCDA is lead by an all -volunteer board that currently has seven members (see attached list). <br />Over the past four years the board has focused on forming itself and seeking a partner <br />organization who can manage the rentals of the community spaces at the Sullivan Center. It has <br />been a challenging four years with the pandemic and finding a venue manager. Once the Board <br />is ready to select a venue manager, TVCDA will execute a lease of the community spaces at <br />the Sullivan Center while simultaneously executing a property management agreement with the <br />venue manager. Until that time, any venue rentals are handled by the property ownership group, <br />Tukwila Village Development Associates, LLC. <br />Currently, the board is reviewing a venue management proposal from Independent Living <br />Associates, LLC which is a business that jointly operates Tukwila Village with Sustainable <br />Housing for Ageless Generations (SHAG). Staff is hopeful that the Board will be ready to <br />approve the lease and property management agreement in April. After that, staff anticipates the <br />Board will reach out to other non-profit organizations that serve the Tukwila area to better <br />understand how TVCDA should direct its efforts. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT <br />None <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Information Only. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />Staff Memo to Planning and Community Development Committee dated February 23, 2021. <br />TVCDA Board of Directors <br />51 <br />
