II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Interlocal Agreement: Regional Affordable Housim Agreement
Staff is requesting Council authorization to enter into an interlocal agreement with King County for the
Regional Affordable Housing Program (RAHP). The current agreement is set to expire on December
31, 2011. The new agreement will be effective January 1, 2012, and will be for three years.
Staff reported that the agreement has allowed the City to influence the use of county, state and federal
monies for affordable housing. Additionally, the interlocal agreement allows the City to appoint a staff
person to serve on the Interjurisdictional Advisory Committee (IAC) which reviews several important
projects throughout the region that are supported by RAHP and has significant influence over
recommendations forwarded to the Joint Recommendations Committee (JRC).
The agreement remains the same as in years past with the following two exceptions: the agreement will
be self renewing after three years if each party is in agreement; and in the event of a natural disaster,
the program will utilize funds for disaster housing as appropriate. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL.
FORWARD TO AUGUST 8 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
