INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning & Community Development Committee
FROM: Angela San Filippo, Executive Manager, SKHHP
Laurel Humphrey, Legislative Analyst
DATE: October 12, 2021
SUBJECT: South King County Housing & Homelessness Partnership 2022 Work Plan
ISSUE
Resolution to adopt SKHHP's 2022 Work Plan and Operating Budget
BACKGROUND
The South King Housing and Homelessness Partners (SKHHP) was established through an interlocal
agreement to work together and share resources to increase the available options for South King County
residents to access affordable housing and preserve the existing affordable housing stock. In accordance
with the Interlocal Agreement the annual SKHHP work plan and budget must be approved by the
legislative body of each member jurisdiction in addition to the SKHHP Executive Board. Each SKHHP
jurisdiction had an opportunity to review and provide feedback on the work plan and budget prior to
Executive Board adoption. The 2022 SKHHP work plan and budget priorities were shared with
Councilmembers via email on June 9, 2021. The feedback from member jurisdictions was used to draft
the 2022 SKHHP work plan and budget adopted by the SKHHP Executive Board on July 23, 2021, see
attachment to proposed resolution.
The SKHHP 2022 work plan and budget operationalizes the SKHHP mission and goals and provides an
itemization of all categories of budgeted expenses and itemization of each Party's contribution,
including in-kind services. Consistent with the SKHHP Interlocal Agreement, the SKHHP 2022 work plan
and budget must be approved by each legislative body and adopted by the SKHHP Executive Board.
DISCUSSION:
WORK PLAN
The 2022 work plan includes three major areas of work that will facilitate implementation of the SKHHP
Interlocal Agreement: governance and administration; policy and planning; and education and outreach.
The 2022 work plan builds on work done in 2020 and 2021 to establish the SKHHP Housing Capital Fund
through pooled public resources, increase philanthropic and corporate investment through creation of a
SKHHP 501(c)(3) fundraising branch, and establish a SKHHP Advisory Board made up of community
members that will help to ground SKHHP decision in community needs and interests.
The governance and administration work area includes strategic planning to set 3-5 year goals for the
organization, annual work plan and budget process, quarterly progress and budget reports, and annual
reporting to stakeholders and non-SKHHP south King County cities. The policy and planning work area
includes: administering and allocating funds from the SKHHP Housing Capital Fund and coordinating
with partner jurisdictions to enhance and develop new local housing policies and programs. The
outreach and education work area includes: representing south King County at local and regional
decision tables and further strengthening regional stakeholders' understanding of housing needs and
opportunities in south King County.

INFORMATIONAL MEMO

OPERATING BUDGET
Attributable to the Interlocal Agreement including an adopted budget before staff was hired and before
the City of Auburn became the administering agency, the adopted budget for 2019 and 2020 was a
projection of operating costs that did not cover the full SKHHP operating costs. In light of the COVID-19
pandemic and resulting revenue shortfalls and budget uncertainties original jurisdictions contributions
were maintained in 2021, this was made possible by personnel cost savings from 2019 and 2020. This
decision intentionally spent down some of the cost savings from the previous two years to cover
operating costs and deferred consideration of increasing member contributions to the 2022 operating
budget.
During the development of the 2022 SKHHP operating budget, feedback from SKHHP partner
jurisdictions and the SKHHP staff work group identified the following budget priorities for 2022:
Work towards a balanced budget
Increase staff capacity to two full time positions
Consider a compensation structure for SKHHP Advisory Board members
The 2022 SKHHP operating budget operationalizes these priorities by increasing jurisdiction
contributions by 15%. The SKHHP budget contributions are based on population size, as shown in the
attachment to the resolution, Tukwila's 2022 SKHHP contribution is $8,625.
If there are any additional contributions to SKHHP's operating budget from sources such as: existing
SKHHP partners, additional partners become part of SKHHP, or contributions or donations from outside
sources, each SKHHP partner contribution could be reduced through an amended budget.
The 2022 SKHHP work plan and budget operationalizes the agreed upon priorities by the SKHHP
Executive Board to implement the Interlocal Agreement by acting cooperatively to formulate housing
policies and strategies that address housing stability, foster efforts to preserve and provide affordable
housing by combining public funding and private -sector resources, and support implementation of other
local policies and programs relating to affordable housing.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution and is seeking a Committee recommendation on the
proposed resolution to forward to the October 25, 2021 Committee of the Whole.

INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Community Development Committee
FROM: Derek Speck, Economic Development Administrator
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: October 11, 2021
SUBJECT: Trusted Community Partner Network
ISSUE
The Port of Seattle and the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce have proposed creating
a Trusted Community Partner Network to help small businesses recover from the pandemic and
are seeking cities to participate.
BACKGROUND
The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted many businesses, including small businesses.
In response to the pandemic, federal funds to businesses have flowed in record amounts.
However, due to size, historical inequities, language, and cultural challenges, many BIPOC-
owned small businesses faced greater challenges accessing federal, state, and local funding
and other resources. The Port of Seattle (Port) and Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce
(Chamber) are partnering to develop a Trusted Community Partner Network to address some of
these pandemic -related challenges to small businesses.
The Trusted Community Partner Network (TCPN) will help small businesses in King County
through "navigators" who will provide culturally relevant, translated assistance and advice to
help those businesses access resources. The Chamber will contract with the navigators and
cities. Participating cities will contribute annual funding of $1 per capita up to a cap of $50,000.
Cities can choose their source of funds such as general funds, American Rescue Plan Act
(ARPA) funds, or their annual economic development grant from the Port. The funding would be
for two years (2022 and 2023).
DISCUSSION
Staff sees a significant need for Tukwila's small businesses, especially BIPOC businesses, to
access more of the available resources that can help them recover from the pandemic and
grow. Additional small business navigators would help address that need and staff recommends
the City participate in the TCPN.
Staff does not anticipate that the TCPN will fulfill all needs of our small businesses for
navigation support and expects that over the next three years we will find additional gaps that
we will fill with the ARPA funds.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Tukwila's contribution would be $21,970 per year for a total of $43,940. The City could use its
annual economic development grant from the Port (which would equal or slightly exceed the
city's contribution), ARPA funds (staff has requested $200,000 for small business support,
including navigation), or other funding sources.

Why?
Q Provides a network of community-based organizations
and culturally knowledgeable advisors who are on the
ground helping businesses in our underserved
communities.
Q The TCPN augments the network of Small Business
Development Centers, Chambers of Commerce,
Community Development Finance Institutions, and
other organizations providing resources to small
businesses.
Q By sharing costs and promoting a regional network,
local partners can leverage their own limited resources
and benefit from economies of scale in
outreach/support to business
C✓( Cities and community partners can tap into an array of
outreach and technical assistance resources to help
businesses of all shapes, sizes, and ethnic backgrounds
Q Comprehensive outreach to underserved communities
works to ensure that recovery resources can be
equitably accessed
Q&A
Trusted Community Partner Network -- Frequently Asked Questions
What issues or problems will the Trusted Community Partner Network (TCPN) Address?
There are more COVID recovery resources available than ever before, but small businesses and
particularly BIPOC businesses face additional barriers to accessing relief. Without a stronger outreach
and coaching plan, our local business owners may never tap resources they need and deserve.
The TCPN will support the needs of small businesses who have been negatively impacted by the COVID
pandemic. Many smaller firms need capital and other resources to overcome losses of revenues,
reopening costs, and public health related operating challenges.
The TCPN will also help ensure that BIPOC and geographically underserved businesses gain access to
culturally competent navigators who can help them connect to federal, state, and local recovery
resources
How will the TCPN Work?
The Chamber will contract with up to 15 navigators who can provide culturally relevant translated
assistance to impacted small businesses. Three of the navigators will support companies in underserved
rural and unincorporated portions of King County.
Navigators will provide linkages to help available from small business development centers, banks,
chambers of commerce, workforce organizations and other partners.
Cities will be able to refer local businesses to navigators for general or specialized assistance.
How will the TCPN be funded?
The Chamber and Port are asking King County cities to help fund the navigator network. We are asking
Cities to invest $1 dollar/capita based on 2021 population estimates for two years (2022 and 2023). We
would cap contributions at $50,000 for larger cities. The following table identifies each City's
contribution:

Cities could use their general fund resources, ARPA funds, or Port grant funding to make this per capita
investment. Our model to hire 15 navigators is based on raising approximately $900,000 annually.

How Many Small Business Will Get Help? What's the Return on Investment?
We estimate that the navigator network can help 3500 impacted businesses across King County. Special
emphasis will be made to help BIPOC businesses and firms in rural or unincorporated areas.
It is hard to predict how many businesses will be served in each city. Each participating city will have
access to the cadre of navigators and be able to make referrals to this network when local businesses
need help. City partners can also partner with navigators to conduct outreach to businesses in their
communities.
As businesses get the help to recover, they will also generate new sales, hire (or rehire) employees, and
generate tax revenues and economic impacts that benefit local jurisdictions.
One Redmond has applied for an SBA navigator grant. What will become of this proposed
partnership if they get this grant?
The Seattle Metro Chamber and Port will modify their proposal if OneRedmond gets the grant. We will
likely reduce funding required from cities covered by the OneRedmond grant although there may also
be a need for additional navigators to serve all communities across King County.
What other benefits do Cities get by participating in the TCPN?
By sharing costs and promoting a regional network, Cities can leverage their own limited resources and
benefit from economies of scale in outreach/support to business. Comprehensive outreach to
underserved communities also works to ensure that recovery resources can be equitably accessed.
What are the next steps and associated timelines for the Trusted Community Partner
Network?
The Chamber and Port will follow up on our invitation to join the TCPN within three to four weeks (by
early November). We will contact each city to answer questions and see how each local jurisdiction
wants to participate in the TCPN.
In November and December, we plan to formalize support for the initiative with each City. We will also
begin implementing community engagement plans in partnership with the Cities to make sure the TCPN
is based on strong input from BIPOC businesses and firms within underserved communities.
During the first quarter of 2022, the Chamber will execute a series of contract to secure necessary
funding and support outreach/technical assistance. As the contracts are executed to establish the TCPN
an advisory team will be created to monitor the initiative and guide its implementation.

Allan Ekberg, Mayor
INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning and Community Development Committee
FROM: Nora Gierloff, DCD Director
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: October 11, 2021
SUBJECT: Community Development Update
ISSUE
Update on Department of Community Development (DCD) progress in hiring and permit review.
BACKGROUND
The 2021-2022 City budget showed 28 funded full time equivalents (FTEs) for DCD and three
frozen positions. Based on improving financial projections, in May the Council granted approval to
unfreeze the positions and fill the Development Review Engineer early to cover an expected
retirement, see the organization chart at Attachment A. Originally streamlined sales tax funding
was targeted to cover this increase, but currently Tukwila's American Rescue Plan Act funds are
planned to be used.
The reorganization and hiring over the last six months has resulted in the following changes:
• Max Baker taking on the Development Supervisor role (formerly Planning Supervisor);
• Nancy Eklund moving into the new Long Range Planning Manager role;
• Hiring a Code Enforcement Officer, Joseph Mose, who will be able to cover the rental
housing program when Kia Shagena goes on leave in January;
• Hiring two Associate Planners, Isaac Gloor and one pending offer;
• Hiring a Senior Plans Examiner, Kevin "KC" Ellis; and
• Hiring a Development Review Engineer who has unfortunately just given notice that he will
be leaving so we will need to start over on this position.
We have been unable to fill the Combination Inspector position but are still recruiting. This leaves
the Department at 30 FTEs. DCD still has one vacant position, which would bring the Department's
FTE total to 31. I would like to focus on filling the current set of positions, onboarding, and training
that group before deciding where an additional staff person would make the most difference.
DISCUSSION
The department expenditures are on track to be slightly below the budgeted amount at the end of
the year, though the different divisions are higher and lower than budgeted. It has been hard to
project forward due to the substantial cash outs for retiring employees, hiring for different positions
than shown in the budget, the need to bring staff in above the midpoint of the salary range, and
use of consultant contracts to cover vacancies in plan review and inspection services.
The number and valuation of development permit applications continue to show a downward trend
this year, see table below. DCD's YTD expenditures are $2,362,000 while combined development
and land use permit revenues are approximately $1,700,000. In past years permit revenues have
equaled or exceeded the Department budget.

We have been onboarding and training the new staff, a process that will continue with the latest
hires. We should see some productivity gains as they begin to work more independently. The loss
of the new development review engineer will set the engineering group back. The Building Division
may need to assist with Fire plan review during the vacancy in the Fire Marshal's office which
would increase their workload.
Recent Achievements
• The Transit Oriented Development Housing Action Plan has been adopted and we have
joined with other South King Housing and Homelessness Partnership (SKHHP) cities on a
grant to address two of the action items in the Plan. This would allow SKHHP to perform
regional tracking of regulated and unregulated affordable housing.
• The small cell ordinance updating our wireless communications regulations has been
adopted and we are working on streamlining the franchise permit process.
• The HB 1220 shelter/housing code changes have been adopted.
• Tukwila South residential design guidelines will return to Council with final recommended
language.
