South King County Seattle Municinal Courts Language Assistance Plan Staff reported of the $2 million dollar grant the state has set -aside for this program and that Tukwila has spearheaded the grant application. Councilmember Hernandez complimented Trish Kinlow on the efforts of this grant application and the very enlightening information that was provided in the agenda packet. There was also discussion about the new electronic forms and how that would impact our costs, as well as a possible need for special equipment. Ms. Kinlow stated she is working with the City of Kent Municipal Court Administrator on a simple form that would be on a laptop located in the court for patrons to use. The Committee complimented Ms. Kinlow on the very informative nature of the presentation and wished her luck in the grant process. INFORMATION ONLY. B. Interlocal Agreement for Jail Study Rhonda Berry provided a brief background on this subject to the guests, and the new information that the City of Auburn is considering joining the Interlocal agreement with Des Moines, Federal Way, Renton and Tukwila. The Committee asked if that would lower Tukwila's funding amount for the study, Ms. Berry stated she needed more time to discuss the study with the City of Auburn, and they did not want to hold up the signing of the agreement. Once a decision has been made, an amendment should be provided to the agreement adding the City of Auburn to Section 3 and Tukwila's share of the total cost of the feasibility study should be less. Due to the length of the October 22 Council meeting it was requested this item be added to an agenda in the near future to accommodate the November 26 deadline. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.
