Tukwila City Hall Council Chambers JOE DUFFLE; JOAN HERNANDEZ; ALLAN EKBERG, Council President; DENNIS ROBERTSON; STEVE MULLET; PAM CARTER; JIM HAGGERTON. Council President Ekberg opened the pubic hearing at 7:25 p.m. Evelyn Boykan briefed the Council on the proposed plans for the 1996 Community Development Block Grant Funds. She stated that there are federal pass- through dollars that are allocated to the City of Tukwila by King County. The pass- through dollars are intended to benefit low and moderate income residents in the areas of capital infrastructure issues including housing, public/human services (to some degree), and planning and administration, if the City chooses to do so. According to the latest County figures, the City of Tukwila will have $115,239 available for allocation to Community Development Block Grant Projects in 1996. This represents approximately a 20% cut of allocation from last year. This does not include any 1995 projects that may underspend. Boykan said that the Recreation Leader position was added to enhance an existing position and to help integrate the Parks and Recreation and Human Services with activities for teens. Boykan explained that the majority of the housing repair funds are loans, and the maximum loan that can be applied for is $13,500. Committee of The Whole Meeting Minutes September 11, 1995 Page 2 Public hearing -CDBG (Cont' d) Public Comments None. Reallocation of $10,000 of 1995 Comm. Devel. Blk. Grant Funds 2. Would adding an additional six hours (totaling a 30 -hour work week) to the Recreation Leader position, entitle that position to the City's benefit package. The Mayor responded affirmatively. 3. That a copy of the Housing Code Support Study be provided to the Council for review. Forthcoming from the Mayor. Summarizing the Council's discussion, Boykan stated that $10,000 dollars of the current utility program would go to this year's housing repair budget. The Council could then look at the total projected for housing repair for next year, take $10,000 dollars out of that, put that $10,000 into the utilities program so that the $50,000 dollars are in tact, but you've reduced the amount that's available for the 1996 housing repair program. Council President Ekberg added that if there's a reduction in funds next year, the Council would look first at a reduction in the housing rehabilitation funds. If there's an increase in funds next year, they would look first at an equalization between the housing rehabilitation and the utility connection.
