INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
Mayor Haggerton
Community Affairs and Parks Committee
FROM: David Cline, City Administrator
Joyce Trantina, Project Analyst

DATE: June 3, 2014
SUBJECT: Tukwila School District After School Program
ISSUE
There is need to identify an afterschool program provider for the 2014/2015 school year. A
committee made up of Tukwila School District and City staff collectively agreed to issue a
Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to help identify a possible provider.
BACKGROUND
Historically the Community Schools Collaboration (CSC) has provided after school programming
at the Tukwila School District. With change in Administration, both at the District and the CSC
organization and the need to evaluate costs of service delivery, the committee felt that a fresh
look should be taken to identify a provider.
DISCUSSION
The School District has gathered preliminary information from three different potential providers
of service; Community Schools Collaboration, The YMCA, and the Tukwila Parks and
Recreation program. These are potentially the parties that would be interested in providing the
service.
We are working together to finalize the RFQ process and an ensuing interview process. It will
be important for the potential providers to know what the City's financial commitment is as well
as the District's financial commitment. The City provided $100,000 for the 2014 fiscal year, as
well as an additional $21,548 to ensure that programming would take place through June 2014.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is seeking Council discussion on budgetary commitment for afterschool programming for
2015/2016.
