DATE ATTACHMENTS 10/10/16 Informational Memorandum dated 10/05/16 Minutes from the Community Affairs and Parks Committee of 10/10/16 21 22 City of Tukwila Allan Ekberg, Mayor TO: Community Affairs and Parks Committee FROM: Rachel Bianchi, Communications and Government Relations Manager CC: Mayor Ekberg RE: Human Services Funding 2017/2018 DATE: October 5°2016 ISSUE At the September 26 Committee of the Whole meeting, the Council had preliminary conversation about providing additional funding to the 2017/2018 Human Services budget. The preliminary budget sent k» the Council mn October 3'2O18ia balanced and shows that revenues currently exceed operational expenses in both years of the biennium; $76.121 in2O1Yand $117.811 in 2018. |n order [o meet the increased need in the community for human services and [8D18iO fiscally prudent in the City's bUdgetiOg, the Administration concurs with the COUOCi|'S interest in additional funding for this department and would recommend that the Council dedicate another $5O thousand per year to Human Services. The Administration appreciates the Council's leadership in addressing the human services needs of the community, as well as the desire to potentially add additional funding to the division's budget for the coming biennium. Because the Human Services division has already completed its process for awarding provisional funding to providere, and in order to respect the important role that the Human Services Advisory Board serves our community in the distribution of huOl8O services funding, we would recommend the following process to help distribute any additional funds: Council shares its priorities for additional funding beginning at the October 10, 2016 meeting of the Community Affairs and Parks Committee. e Further Council input is received at the October 24 Council of the Whole meeting. ° Staff and the Human Services Advisory Board utilize the Council priorities to review programs that scored well, but were not recommended for funding due tobudget \imitetinns, as well as the potential for increasing awards to programs that were already recommended for funding. * Staff will p[8S8Ot final neCOrOnleDd8hOOS for additional funding to the Council for @pp[OV8i VV8 would recommend that any increase desired bv Council k} the Human Services budget be included iD the 2O17-2O18 budget, but unallocated for specific programs until the first quarter 0f 2017. However, the division would beunable to spend such resources until Council review and passage of the final recommendations in the first quarter of2O17. This deviation from our normal procedures would allow the COUDCi|. Division and Human Services Advisory Board to take a thoughtful, equitable approach to any distribution of additional investments in Human Services, while providing Council the assurance that it will ultimately provide the policy guidance for any additional funding. �� ~-~ INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page Regarding the structural questions contemplated by the Council on the Human Services budget and the different ideas raised by Counci|nnernbere, the Administration recommends that this effort be incorporated into the Community Affairs and Parks Committee work plan for 2017. RECOMMENDATION Staff requests Committee approval of the process described above for additional human services funding, as well as placing the issue of Human Services' structural budget on the 2017 Community Affairs and Parks work plan. If approved, it is requested that the Committee forward this item to the Committee of the VVhO|e for final approval and direction to the Administration to include the Council's request of additional funding in the amount of $50,000 per year for Human Services.

ANNOUNCEMENT II. BUSINESSAGENDA A. Proposed 2017 -2018 Biennial Budget: Human Services At the September 26 Committee of the Whole meeting, the Council had preliminary discussion about providing additional funding to Human Services for the 2017/2018 biennium. Because the preliminary budget demonstrates that revenues exceed operational expenses ($76,121 for 2017 and $117,811 in 2018), staff proposes that the Council allocate an additional $50,000 per year to Human Services for the next two years. If the funding is approved by Council, staff and the Human Services Advisory Board will form a recommendation on how to distribute the additional amount and return for Council approval in the first quarter of 2017. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO OCTOBER 24, 2016 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE. B. Relocation Resources for Mobile Home Residents There is growing awareness and concern regarding relocation assistance for residents displaced from mobile home parks. The State has an assistance program that reimburses up to $7500 for a single wide and up to $12,000 for a multi - section, but otherwise there are very few resources available to help these residents. The City of Seattle has a code in place that places some responsibility for relocation assistance on the property owner and requires a relocation report to be filed with the City. If the Council would like to put more policy guidelines in place around this subject this may be a good model to review. RETURN TO COMMITTEE. C. Interlocal Agreement: Hearing Examiner Services Staff is seeking Council approval to renew an interlocal agreement with the City of Seattle for hearing examiner services through December 31, 2018. Tukwila has contracted with Seattle for these services since 2005 and this arrangement has proven to be efficient and cost effective. There is no change to the $115 hourly rate proposed at this time. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO OCTOBER 17, 2016 REGULAR CONSENT AGENDA. 25
