DATE: September 13, 2018
SUBJECT: Kennedy's Cottage Lease renewal
ISSUE
The 5-year property lease on Kennedy's Cottage is expiring October 1, 2018.
BACKGROUND
Kennedy's Cottage is a City owned home that is on undevelopable land. The non-profit, Way
Back Inn, provides 90+ days of temporary shelter/transitional housing to Tukwila families
experiencing homelessness. Traditionally a 5-year lease, staff is requesting the lease time
frame be extended from October 1, 2018 until December 31, 2022. These three additional
months will allow the next renewal cycle to be consistent with Gregor House (another City
owned, Way Back Inn managed property).
DISCUSSION
Staff is asking Council to extend the lease on Kennedy's Cottage for another 5-year lease
agreement with the Way Back Inn. With this partnership, WBI volunteers clean and maintain
the homes, provide weekly supportive case management meetings with resident families.
Through our WBI partnership, Kennedy's Cottage provides roughly 1,300 bed nights annually to
families experiencing homelessness.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no financial impact.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to approve the lease agreement and consider forwarding this item to
the October 1, 2018 Regular Council meeting consent agenda.

RESIDENTIAL LEASE AGREEMENT
KENNEDY'S COTTAGE
THIS AGREEMENT is made on October 1, 2018, between the City of Tukwila, a
Washington municipal corporation, as "Lessor," and the Way Back Inn, a Washington
non-profit, as "Lessee" (collectively, the "Parties").
WHEREAS, homelessness continues to be an issue for residents of the City of
Tukwila and the greater community at large; and
WHEREAS, Lessor, a Washington municipal corporation, has determined that
the provision of transitional housing to homeless and impoverished members of the
community serves a fundamental governmental purpose as it protects the public health,
safety, and welfare; and
WHEREAS, Lessee is a Washington non-profit corporation that provides
temporary and transitional housing to the homeless;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows:
1. PREMISES: Lessor shall lease to Lessee the residence currently situated at 15421
4211d Ave. South, Tukwila, Washington ("Premises").
2. TERM: The term of this lease shall be for five (5) years, commencing on October 1,
2018, and shall terminate on December 31, 2022 in accordance with the termination
provisions set forth in paragraph 19, unless sooner terminated as a result of
Lessee's default hereunder. The Lessor reserves the right to terminate the lease
prior to the completion of the one-year term at any time for any reason with ninety
(90) days' notice.
3. POSSESSION: Lessee shall be deemed to have accepted possession of the leased
premises in an "as -is" condition. Lessor has made no representations to Lessee
respecting the condition of the lease premises.
4. CONSIDERATION: In consideration of Lessee providing housing to homeless
members of the Tukwila community, Lessee may occupy the leased premises rent
free for the duration of this Lease; provided, Lessee shall make any and all
necessary improvements to the Premises, including the residence located thereon,
at Lessee's sole expense. Such improvements shall not be commenced without the
express written consent of Lessor and shall be subject to final inspection and the
approval of the Lessor. Further, Lessee shall pay all costs associated with or arising
out of the maintenance and operation of the leased Premises as set forth herein.
5. USE: Lessee shall use the leased premises to provide free, temporary single-family
dwellings for homeless families with children whose income falls below 50% of the
King County median household income, and all current uses incidental thereto,
Page 1 of 5 21
and for no other purpose without first obtaining Lessor's prior written consent.
Families housed by Lessee at Lessee shall screen all housing applicants to ensure
that applicants meet the income qualifications set forth herein. Lessee shall provide
Lessor with an annual report each year reflecting data regarding the populations
served by Lessee at the Premises.
6. LESSEE MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR RESPONSILIBITY: Lessee shall, when
and if needed, at Lessee's sole expense, make any and all necessary repairs to the
leased premises and every part thereof. Lessee shall maintain the leased Premises
in neat, clean, sanitary condition. Lessee shall surrender the leased Premises to
Lessor in good condition upon the termination of this lease, reasonable wear and
tear expected.
7. UTILITIES: Lessee shall pay prior to delinquency for all heat, light, water, and
other utility services supplied to the leased premises.
8. ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS BY LESSEE: After obtaining the prior consent
of Lessor, Lessee may make, at its sole expense, such additional improvements or
alterations to the leased premises, which it may deem necessary or desirable. Any
repairs or new construction by Lessee shall be done in conformity with plans and
specifications approved by Lessor. All work performed shall be done in a
workmanlike manner and shall become the property of the Lessor.
9. LIENS: Lessee shall keep the leased premises free from any liens arising out of any
work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred by Lessee.
10. INSURANCE: Lessee shall procure and maintain for the duration of this Lease,
insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damage to property which may
arise from or in connection with the Lessee's operation and use of the leased
Premises. Lessee's maintenance of insurance as required by this Agreement shall
not be construed to limit the liability of the Lessee to the coverage provided by
such insurance, or otherwise limit the Lessor's recourse to any remedy available at
law or in equity. Lessee shall maintain Commercial General Liability insurance
written with limits no less than $1,000,000 each occurrence, $2,000,000 general
aggregate. Commercial General Liability insurance shall be at least as broad as
Insurance Services Office (ISO) occurrence form CG 00 01 and shall cover premises
and contractual liability. The Lessor shall be named as an additional insured on
Lessee's Commercial General Liability insurance policy using ISO Additional
Insured -Managers or Lessors of Premises Form CG 20 11, or a substitute
endorsement providing at least as broad coverage. Lessee shall also maintain
property insurance, which shall be written covering the full value of Lessee's
property and improvements with no coinsurance provisions. Property insurance
shall be written on an all risk basis. The Lessee's Commercial General Liability
insurance policy or policies are to contain, or be endorsed to contain, that they
shall be primary insurance as respect the Lessor. Any Insurance, self-insurance, or
self -insured pool coverage maintained by the Lessor shall be excess of the Lessee's
22
Page 2 of 5
insurance and shall not contribute with it. Insurance is to be placed with insurers
with a current A.M. Best rating of not less than A: VII. Lessee shall furnish the
Lessor with original certificates and a copy of the amendatory endorsements,
including, but not necessarily limited to, the additional insured endorsement,
evidencing the insurance requirements of the Lessee. Lessee and Lessor hereby
release and discharge each other from all claims, losses and liabilities arising from
or caused by any hazard covered by property insurance on or in connection with
the premises or said building. This release shall apply only to the extent that such
claim, loss or liability is covered by insurance. The Lessee shall provide the Lessor
with written notice of any policy cancellation within two (2) business days of their
receipt of such notice. Failure on the part of the Lessee to maintain the insurance
as required shall constitute a material breach of lease, upon which the Lessor may,
after giving five (5) business days' notice to the Lessee to correct the breach,
terminate the Lease or, at its discretion, procure or renew such insurance and pay
any and all premiums in connection therewith, with any sums so expended to be
repaid to the Lessor on demand. If the Lessee maintains higher insurance limits
than the minimums shown above, the Lessor shall be insured for the full available
limits of Commercial General and Excess or Umbrella liability maintained by the
Lessee, irrespective of whether such limits maintained by the Lessee are greater
than those required by this contract or whether any certificate of insurance
furnished to the Lessor evidences limits of liability lower than those maintained by
the Lessee.
During the term of this Lease, the Lessor shall maintain all-risk property insurance
covering the residence located on the Premises for its full replacement value.
Lessee expressly agrees that should damage arise to the Premises or residence that
is covered by Lessor's insurance but not Lessee's, Lessee shall reimburse Lessor for
the cost of Lessor's deductible. Such reimbursement shall be made within thirty
(30) days of Lessor's written request for reimbursement.
11. INDEMNIFICATION: The Way Back Inn hereby releases, discharges, defends,
indemnifies and holds harmless the Lessor, and its agents, contractors, and others
from any and all claims, costs (including attorneys' fees), and liability, arising in
any manner, including, but not limited to, those arising from injury or death to
persons or damage to property occasioned by any act, omission or failure of the
Way Back Inn, its officers, agents or employees, whether they be direct or indirect.
12. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING: Lessee shall not assign this lease or any part
thereof, either by operation of law or otherwise, without first obtaining the prior
written consent of Lessor.
13. DEFAULT: Failure by Lessee to observe or perform any of the covenants,
conditions, or provisions of this lease, where such failure shall continue for a
period of ten (10) days after written notice from Lessor to cure the default, shall
Page 3 of 5 23
constitute a default and breach of the lease by the Lessor. Lessee shall notify Lessor
promptly of any default not by its nature necessarily known to Lessor.
14. ACCESS: Lessee shall permit Lessor to enter the leased premises at reasonable
times for the purpose of inspecting the leased premises and ascertaining
compliance with the provisions hereof by Lessee, but nothing herein shall be
construed as imposing any obligation on Lessor to perform any such work or
duties. Lessor reserves the right to property inspection and testing for the Lessor's
future development purposes. Lessor will give Lessee at least forty-eight (48)
hours' notice in the event of access needed for property testing.
15. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, RULES AND REGULATIONS: Lessee shall, at its
sole cost and expense, promptly comply with all laws, statutes, ordinances, and
governmental rules, regulations or requirements now in force or which may
hereafter be in force relating to or affecting the conditions, use, or occupancy of the
leased premises. Lessee shall faithfully observe and comply with the rules and
regulations that Lessor shall from time to time promulgate, including, without
limitation, those regulations affecting signage on the Property.
