II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Consultant Agreement: Stakeholder Outreach for Tukwila Urban Center Plan
Staff is requesting Council approval to enter into a contract with CollinsWoerman in the amount of
$71,937.00 to lead stakeholder outreach related to the Tukwila Urban Center.
Staff gave a brief overview of the work that has been conducted to date on the Tukwila Urban Center Plan.
The last action taken by the Planning Commission was to request staff to conduct additional analysis and
further consideration of public comment. This past March, staff provided the Committee with an economic
analysis conducted by ECONorthwest, and they are now seeking approval to secure assistance from a
public involvement consultant.
Committee members asked questions relative and appropriate to the consultant agreement with
CollinsWoerman. The monies for this project are funded solely by the existing Transit Oriented
Development federal grant. No cost overruns are anticipated or will be funded. The public involvement
process is anticipated to take five months. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO SEPTEMBER
27 COW FOR DISCUSSION.

questions as appropriate.
