I. BUSINESSAGENDA
A. Tukwila International Boulevard Rechannelization Alternatives
Staff updated the committee on the implementation of the Tukwila International Boulevard
Neighborhood Plan and the rechannelization alternatives report.
Committee question(s) requiring follow up
Councilmember Hougardy will send additional questions. Staff indicated they would return
with additional information on the cost associated with public outreach. Fehr & Peers will
present at the next meeting and discuss lessons learned from the road diets in Seattle on
Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Rainier Avenue South.
Committee Recommendation
Return to Committee 4/20/20.
B. Resolution: House Bill 1406 Investments
Staff is seeking Council approval of a resolution that would retain 30% of the yearly revenue
from House Bill 1406 for rental assistance and pool the rest of the funds with South King
Housing & Homelessness Partnership member agencies. As requested, staff presented
information about the cost of rehabilitating existing multifamily housing.
Committee Recommendation
Unanimous approval. Forward to the March 23, 2020 Committee of the Whole. However, some
cities are contemplating using some of the 1406 dollars for rental assistance in light of the
coronavirus. Keeping this timeline allows the City to potentially access 1406 funds for rental
assistance in April but pivot if other SKHH P agencies decide to dedicate a larger percentage to
rental assistance than what is currently recommended.
