These funds target the Tukwila Minor Home Repair program. For 2011, we again propose serving as the fiscal administrator for minor home repair in the cities of Tukwila, SeaTac, Des Moines, and Covington. This program successfully assists low and moderate income homeowners in maintaining their homes. BACKGROUND Jim Haggerton, Mayor The Office of Human Services has been administering this program in -house since 2005. In 2009 our contractors served 24 unduplicated households with 165 hours of labor. Tukwila's current budget for this program is $100,000 for the entire program and $25,000 for Tukwila. We propose asking for $110,000 to cover work related to new regulations on lead based paint. DISCUSSION This application competes county wide with other capital federal applications from both cities and non profit agencies. Tukwila sits at the table to recommend capital projects, but of course cannot vote on their own application. RECOMMENDATION We seek Council support for this application and look forward to discussion at the April 26, 2010 Committee of the Whole Meeting and subsequent May 3, 2010 Regular Meeting. ATTACHMENTS Part I of the Application to King County.

Using the answers provided by applicants, we hope to ensure that proposals contain all necessary information to qualify by the final I application deadline. If the proposed project is ineligible under the CDBG Program guidelines, this screening will prevent the applicant from spending time on an unnecessary final application.

Funds will be used to pay licensed contractors to provide minor home repair to income eligible populations within the jurisdictions of Tukwila, SeaTac, Des Moines and Covington. Staff support from each respective city is contributed to administer the program at each respective city while the City of Tukwila provides support as the fiscal agent. Repairs target maintaining the safety and health of the residents and preserving the housing as well as conserving energy. All permits required by consistency with city code are obtained as necessary. Activities include but are not limited to earthquake preparedness, small plumbing and electrical repairs, preventive maintenance activities, etc. The program is offered to residents on a first come first serve basis with safety and health concerns being prioritized. This subregional program has successfully widened it's scope of influence each year by bringing on new city partners to meet the needs of communities with affordable homeownership housing stock in need of preventive maintenance and repair. The majority of residents served in the program are extremely low to very low in income. Additional funds have been added to cover the costs of environmental review and lead based paint regulations.

BUSINESS AGENDA A. 2011 Minor Home Renair Program Staff is seeking Council authorization to submit the 2011 Community Development Block Grant application to King County requesting $110,000 for the Minor Home Repair Program. City of Tukwila Community Affairs and Parks Committee The City's application proposes to continue the Human Services Minor Home Repair Program for Tukwila as well as the fiscal management (via self renewing interlocal agreements) of similar programs for the cities of SeaTac, Des Moines and Covington. This year's proposal asks for additional funding to address work with lead based paint. As with past applications, incorporation of multiple cities into one application makes our request more competitive against other projects. The funding for this program is not a guarantee. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO APRIL 26 COW FOR DISCUSSION. B. Interlocal Aareement between Tukwila and Kina Counts/ regarding Permits for the Tukwila South Annexation Area Staff is seeking Council approval of an interlocal agreement with King County for the processing of building permits and land use applications that were filed with King County prior to Tukwila's annexation of the southern most portion of the City. There are currently four permit- related items outstanding that were filed with the County prior to the City's annexation (two land use applications, one construction permit and one code enforcement file). This interlocal agreement will allow King County to complete outstanding actions as necessary on these applications and/or files as well as provide continuity of permitting In addition to the interlocal agreement, staff distributed a draft resolution at the Committee meeting which authorizes King County to charge applicant fees as relative and appropriate for the above items. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO APRIL 26 COW FOR DISCUSSION. C. DRAFT Noise Ordinance Staff is seeking Council approval of a draft ordinance relating to noise. Adding clarity to definitions, enforcement and standards, this will repeal the current Noise Ordinance which was last amended in 2002. The Committee was provided with an update on the draft ordinance last December (see CAP minutes dated December 14, 2009). At that time, staff suggested the ordinance be separated into two sections (to improve efficiency and enforcement); however, they have since determined that this separation did not provide the 197
