Date: December 3, 2003
Subject: Housing Needs Assessment and CDBG Funds
As part of the 2004 Comprehensive Plan update, Tukwila will incorporate new
Countywide housing targets. This work will include a housing needs assessment and
inventory. The basic components of the assessment will be an analysis of the demand for
housing over the next twenty years given the Countywide housing targets and an
assessment of the current and future supply of housing given the available land and
regulations. A function of supply will also be the condition and the needs of existing
households, the houses and the neighborhoods.
Two sources of funds are proposed to pay for the above study: $7,000 from a Washington
State Growth Management Act grant for the Comprehensive Plan Technical Revisions
and $14,500 of unallocated CDBG money, which is available for planning functions.
Community Affairs and Parks (CAP) met on this issue on November 25, 2003 and
recommend holding a hearing. Subject to the results of the hearing, the CAP
recommends approving the allocation of CDBG funds for a Housing Needs Assessment.
Request: In order to allocate the CDBG funds for the above project, a public hearing and
a motion to approve are needed by the City Council

1. Housing Needs Assessment Next year's comp plan update will include a section on housing
and housing targets for the next twenty years. It will include not only the housing now available,
but also what is needed based on our available land and population. Two sources of funding will
be $14,500 in unallocated CDBG and $7,000 from a grant from the Washington State Growth
Management program. Joan asked if it will cost $21,000 and was told it would. Joe said the city
needed to educate people about how cleaning up properties works. Jack said they were going to
try to have the work on the study done in January He thought the city could be proactive in
preventing some of the decay and poor management of housing that can now be seen around the
city. This study will address demand and support for housing, and will seek to understand the
condition and various types of housing. The committee approved recommending to the Council a
motion to allocate CDBG funs to this project. According to Jack Pace, this study needs to be
escalated to meet certain deadlines for the City Comprehensive Plan review. Since a motion by
the Council is needed, the committee suggested that item be added to a Special Meeting
following the Public Hearing on December 8 Recommend motion to COW and Suecial
Meeting December 8
2. Change Order on Golf Course Construction Mike Sweeney explained that three separate
funds exist within the CIP for the golf course improvements: the demolition fund; golf course
improvement fund and contract; and the clubhouse construction fund and contract. Construction
of the water feature was originally in the golf course improvement fund; however the water
feature was removed from the scope of work before it was bid. It now appears advantageous to
transfer the funds for the water feature to the clubhouse construction budget. The staging and the
timing of construction of both the golf course and the clubhouse affected construction of the
water feature, which is why it changed from the start of golf course construction until now.
Council action is required to move the water feature budget from the golf course improvement
budget, and put it into the clubhouse budget.
The water feature will be directly in back of the clubhouse on the golf course side of the
building. It is like a series of three small ponds, with large granite upright stones surrounding a
fountain feature, then flowing through the other ponds
No additional funding is being requested, but money is simply being moved from one account to
another. The specific action being requested is to approve the change order and authorize a
budget transfer from the funding within the golf course construction budget to the clubhouse
contract budget. Recommend issue to COW and Special Meeting December 8th
