Joan also asked if there would be a separate budget for the Sister City and Civic

Each year, we have to use the budgeted amount, or we lose it. We can make a
recommendation for how to budget for both the subcommittee and the commission
during the 2019 -20 budget process.
Aaron raised a concern about whether or not Tukwila School District students that are

circumstance.
