LOM Coronavirus Response Update June 22, 2020 Essential Services and City Operations There are no changes to essential services or City operations since the last report. The City is continuing to refine a reopening plan corresponding with the State's "Safe Start" phased approach to reopening the state. It should be noted that only in Phase 3 do they recommend re -opening customer -facing government services, and even at that time telework is still strongly encouraged for non -customer facing positions. Financial Stability At the May 18 City Council meeting the Council approved various measures for the mayor to implement to address the revenue shortfalls associated with the coronavirus pandemic. The Council continues to receive regular updates on the implementation of the financial measures associated with the coronavirus pandemic.

Staff has allocated $21,338 this month on rental assistance and has a current balance remaining of $1,100 for rent/utility assistance left for June. If we cannot assist a resident with this amount, it will roll over to July. Funding sources include the 1406 emergency rental assistance in conjunction with typical human services general fund emergency assistance dollars. HS staff continues to get referrals from our multi-lingual community based organizations, friends of friends and our spiritual community leaders. As a reminder, the City has a lifetime cap of $1,200 for each Tukwila household for rental/utility assistance. The households we serve are new and unduplicated. Business Recovery Business Re -Openings As of June 17, King County is still in the Modified Phase 1 of Washington's "Safe Start" four phase business reopening plan. On June 16 the County applied to the State for approval to enter into Phase 2. Economic Development staff anticipates the County will enter into Phase 2 during the week of 6/22. That phase will be very similar to our current phase except that customer capacity allowed in retail stores, indoor dining, and 59 outdoor dining will be double the current limits, which is 25% capacity. Also, card rooms will be allowed to reopen; however, their occupancy will be limited to 25% of maximum or 50 individuals, whichever is less, and individual tables will be limited to 25% occupancy. Card rooms will also be required to follow significant physical distancing and sanitation procedures. Religious services held indoors at places of worship will be allowed attendance up to 25% of maximum capacity or 50 individuals, whichever is less. Westfield Southcenter reopened on June 15 and more stores are reopening each day. Business Resources During the week of 6/15 staff sent emails to all businesses with more updates and resources. The Planning and Economic Development Committee had a brief discussion on business recovery grant opportunities during their meeting on 6/15 and this topic will return to their meeting on July 6. Business Survey Staff discovered some issues with the online survey and so has not yet been sent out. We expect to send it out the week of 6/22.
