ISSUE
City Council awarded the Human Services division an additional $50,000 for the 2017/2018
budget cycle. 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

MEMORANDUM

TO: MAYOR EKBERG,DAVID CLINE,CITY ADMINISTRATOR
CC: DEREK SPECK,ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: EVIE BOYKAN,HUMAN SERVICES MANAGER
RE: HUMAN SERVICES NON-PROFIT FUNDING RECOMMENDATIONS 2017/2018
The Tukwila Human Services Advisory Board completed their recommendations for 2017/2018 non-
profit funding. 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.
