RE: Council initiated changes to 2007 Proposed Budget CIP

CIP.
To: City Council
Mayor
From: Dennis Robertson, Council President
Re: Proposed Changes for 2007 Budget
Date: November 21, 2007
Proposed Changes to the Draft 2007 Budget
1. Tukwila Community Schools Collaboration
Change: I would propose that we add $100,000. to the budget annually for TCSC, as
long as it continues to provide the same or better services. The money would come from
the Carryover from 2006.
Rational: TCSC provides nationally recognized benefits to the school children in
Tukwila School District. It also provides benefits to the city such as:
Significantly lower turnover for the families with children registered in the
program.
-A place from which informal human service needs can be quickly met.
Increased sense of belonging to the City for our immigrant community.
Stable direct funding from the City of Tukwila would aid TCSC in challenging the school
district and King County to match the new funding as well as aid in grant requests.
2. Residential Street Program
Change: I would propose that we do not zero out the Residential Street program as the
Draft Budget for 2007 does. Instead, I propose that we budget $750,000. out of
Carryover from 2006 to the Residential Street program.
Rational: The Residential Street program has been around since before 1989. It has
provided significant benefits to our citizens, helping to revitalize many of our
neighborhoods. The sidewalks provided by the program have not only increased citizen
safety, they have a substantial impact on the `sense of neighborhood' where they exist.
It would be grossly unfair to cut the Residential Street program while continuing to fund
the Commercial Street program.
