City of Tukwila Allan Ekberg, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM TO: Community Affairs and Parks Committee FROM: Rick Still, Director Parks & Recreation BY: Robert Eaton, P&R Manager CC: Mayor Ekberg DATE: June 8, 2016 SUBJECT: Green Tukwila 20-Year Plan Update ISSUE Presentation update on the development status of the Green Tukwila 20-Year Plan BACKGROUND At the May 20, 2015 CAP meeting, Forterra presented the Green Cities program to the Council with the vision of creating a Green Tukwila plan. Council approved the $40,000 expenditure over two years to develop the Green Tukwila 20-Year plan. That work began August 6, 2015.

Norah Kates Green Cities Project Manager Forterra nkates @forterra.org (206) 905 -6943 I: City of Tukwila Allan Ekberg, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM TO: Community Affairs and Parks Committee FROM: Rick Still, Director Parks & Recreation CC: Mayor Ekberg DATE: June 22, 2016 SUBJECT: Afterschool Program 2016-17 Update ISSUE A new model for the afterschool program is being developed for the 2016-17 school year. BACKGROUND The three partners, Tukwila School District, YMCA and the City of Tukwila, for the REACH afterschool program were under contract through the end of the 2015-16 school year. The coordinated academic and enrichment program for the three elementary schools was a great effort to meeting our young student's needs. DISCUSSION As discussed at the May 31, 2016 joint meeting with the Tukwila School District Board and the Tukwila City Council, the current model of REACH did not provide the appropriate level of academic instructors to produce the outcomes desired. Thus, a new model for an afterschool program is being considered and developed for the 2016-17 school year. The school district has expressed interest in Tukwila Parks & Recreation providing afterschool recreation at the three elementary school sites; the district will provide the academic portion of the program. The City's contribution towards the REACH afterschool program has been $100,000 for each the past two years. The way the budget cycles for the city and district work, January to December and September to August respectfully, the city's funding covered the REACH cost for January to June and the district's from October to December. Therefore, the funding for fall of 2016 is in question since the afterschool program model is changing. FINANCIAL IMPACT There is potential that additional funding may be needed for September to December 2016. There are several options that would impact the funding needs for this program: how many kids per site, what qualifications to attend, fee or no cost participation, and coverage on early release days (17 days). For 50 kids at each elementary school site (3) with no fee to attend, the cost of the recreation element would be approximately $50,000 from September to December. January to June would cost approximately an additional $78,000 for a total of approximately $128,000 for the school year. RECOMMENDATION Information Only 17 IF., City of Tukwila Allan Ekberg, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM TO: Community Affairs and Parks CC: Mayor Ekberg FROM: Jack Pace, DCD Director BY: Laura Benjamin, Assistant Planner DATE: June 27, 2016 SUBJECT: Housing Work Plan ISSUE Briefing on the Housing in Tukwila — Current & Potential Efforts matrix and review of the 2016, 2017, and 2018 housing work plans. BACKGROUND Tukwila's Comprehensive Plan includes a Housing Element which provides policy direction for housing efforts over the next 20 years. This element was updated in 2015 as part of the larger Comprehensive Plan update. The Housing Element includes policies ranging from affordability to housing condition. The Community Affairs and Parks Committee was briefed on the Housing in Tukwila — Current & Potential Efforts matrix at the April 25, 2016 committee meeting. The matrix provides a summary of current and potential housing efforts, including governmental programs and funding at the city, county, state, and federal level, as well as community development and non - profit initiatives. DISCUSSION The Housing in Tukwila — Current and Potential Efforts matrix (Attachment A) has been updated to denote potential work plan items for 2016, 2017, and 2018. Work plan items are noted with a highlighted column on the right. A summary of the proposed work plan items is included below. The attached matrix provides more information on each item. Staff recommends addressing residential lot sizes in 2017 as the 2016 work plan for both DCD and the City as a whole is at capacity with focus on the potential public safety bond. If the committee wishes to take action on small lots sooner, there is the option to change the lot size variance application, which is currently a Type 3 decision made by the Hearing Examiner, to a Type 2 decision made administratively. This would decrease the time and cost associated with the variance and allow more flexibility for property owners wishing to develop smaller lots, while still mitigating the potential negative impacts of small lot development. A Zoning Code update could then take place beginning in 2017. 2016 • Riverton Compact Homes — Row 1 a • Recreation Space — Row 2d • Pest Inspection — Row 2e • Re- evaluate Registration of Vacant Homes in Tukwila— Row 2g • Utility Shutoff Prevention /Utility Re- Enablement — Row 3b • Multi - Family Property Tax Exemption — Row 3c 19 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 • TIB Multi-Family Redevelopment — Row 3e 2017 • Residential Lot Sizes — Row 1 c • Residential Inf ill Standards — Row 1 d 2018 • Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) — Row 1 i RECOMMENDATION Discuss and provide direction on the potential items for the 2016, 2017, and 2018 work plans.
