I. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Visitor Marketing Update
Staff briefed the Committee on the criteria and process for review and approval of a brandmark
to be used for the City's visitor marketing efforts. The brandmark is a design element used to
represent a product, in this case, the Southcenter area as a destination targeted to people within
50 miles of the City. The City contracted with Bill Baker of Total Destination Marketing, formed a
Brand Advisory Committee, and developed the concept of "accessible fun" that was supported
by the City Council. The next step includes finalizing the brandmark, which can then be used in
advertising, wayfinding, and more. Staff intends to bring three draft brandmarks to the City
Council for consideration. DISCUSSION ONLY.
B. Tukwila Village Community Organization
Staff is seeking Council direction on the formation of a nonprofit organization to manage the
community room, community kitchen, and plaza at Tukwila Village. The Development
Agreement with Tukwila Village Development Associates executed in 2012 provides for the
developer and City to cooperate on the formation of an independent community organization to
manage, operate, maintain, and promote the use of the plaza and commons. The Senior Housing
Assistance Group (SHAG) is helping the developer with the formation of the nonprofit and have
recommended some draft concepts for mission, vision, resources, obligations and board.
Councilmember Seal stated that residents have been asked her about the origin of the proposed
name of "Sullivan Center at Tukwila Village." Staff will provide written information to help with
talking points. Councilmember Kruller expressed concern about achieving an appropriate
balance between community use and SHAG resident use of the spaces. Staff replied that
expectations will be established between the Board and the Executive Director, and the bylaws
will include stakeholder reporting. Councilmember Kruller also requested that TIBAC be given
opportunity to comment on the proposal. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO AUGUST 28,
2017 COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
