The Human Services Advisory Board met several times to make recommendations on awarding increases for previously recommended agencies in addition to proposing contracts to new agencies. BACKGROUND The Human Services Advisory Board met three times from November 2016 through January 2017 to consider allocations. Their deliberations included results of interviews with agencies, review of their applications and staff recommendations. ANALYSIS Some of the recommendations reflect emphasis on employment opportunities. The new agencies include Kona Kai's H.E.A.T. program, ANEW, Apprenticeship and Non-traditional Employment for Women, and Puget Sound Training Center. Also supported was more financial support for basic needs (Catholic Community Services, REACH day center, Meals on Wheels, Volunteer Transportation, Sound Mental Health Path services, additional education from the King County Bar Association and services for refugees and immigrants (Literacy Source and Somali Youth and Family Club). FINANCIAL IMPACT Meetings with the agencies that received recommendations for additional support will be delayed until City Council reviews the entire set of recommendations for the additional $50,000.

Our Advisory Board members have a wide-range of expertise in social services, awareness of community needs and desire to fund services that support community health and stability. In addition to many hours of dedicated reading and evaluation on their own, the board met with Human Services staff for a total of four sessions and 12 hours. During that time, 50 proposals totaling$561,195 were considered. Three additional programs were recommended for funding with $10,000 through the multi-jurisdictional parallel process funding. In all, forty two program proposals were recommended for some level of funding. Five of these were new programs (not funded by the City previously.) Year-to-date, our requests for human services assistance show, that more residents are cost burdened, paying commonly 50% or more of their income to maintain their housing. The number of homeless families continues to increase and the number of affordable units of housing is decreasing as market trends point to increased rents that for units close to the Light Rail. (Boulevard at South Station is charging$1420 per month for a two bedroom). The Board reviewed existing regional serving programs that continue to need funds from local municipalities. These programs, while not customizing services to Tukwila residents, provide an integral part of the regional human service infrastructure. Tukwila's recommended funding makes up only a small part of what agencies need in order to keep programs afloat and continue serving our residents. Each program was reviewed for content, completion, accessibility, fiscal soundness, current and past performance. Staff provided input. Staff and Board members will be available for Committee and Council discussions on these recommendations. We are happy to answer any questions regarding our process and the attached recommendations.

C. Proposed Changes to Marijuana Retail Regulations The City has received two unrelated requests to modify regulations to expand opportunities for retail marijuana locations in the City. 1) Mr.Donal Botkin has asked the City to reduce the buffer between marijuana businesses and parks to 100 feet(from the current 1000 feet)which is now allowed by state law. Briscoe Parkin Kent limits potential locations within the TVS and HI Zones even though the river provides a significant barrier. Staff supports this request. 2) Mr. Ezra Eickmeyer has asked the city to either allow marijuana retail in additional zones or to create a zoning overlay that would allow stores and could be applied to specific properties in the city. Staff does not support this change at this time due to existing work plan priorities. Committee members discussed the proposals and asked clarifying questions. Staff pointed out that House Bill 1099 is currently in play and proposes to penalize cities that restrict marijuana stores through forfeiture of liquor revenues. Councilmember Kruller requested that the item be forwarded to the Committee of the Whole with no recommendation due to the nature of the proposals, and the Committee agreed. She also requested information on the City of Kent's position on the buffer reduction proposal. NO RECOMMENDATION. FORWARD TO FEBRUARY 13,2017 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE. 111. MISCELLANEOUS Staff distributed copies of a preliminary work plan for the Committee and Councilmembers and staff reviewed the items planned for the year ahead. While items are not listed in order of priority, Councilmember Kruller requested that the item relating to source of income discrimination be moved to number 1.
