II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A.
Interlocal Agreement: Minor Home Repair Program
Staff is seeking Council approval for the Mayor to sign an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) between the Cities
of SeaTac, Des Moines, Covington and Tukwila to coincide with the beginning of the 2013 contract cycle
for the Minor Home Repair Program. Rather than amending the existing agreement, it was determined
that a new agreement should be developed due to the number of recommended amendments. The new
agreement provides a termination clause and assures that the ILA will self-renew as long as funding is
provided by King County Community Development Block Grant program. Also of note is that the new
ILA details how funds could shift if a participant City is unable to spend its allotted portion.
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO THE OCTOBER 7 REGULAR CONSENT
