Tukwila City Council Regular Meeting Minutes October 18, 2021 PRESENTATIONS Page 2 of 4 Trusted Community Partner Network (TCPN) - David McFadden, Managing Director of Economic Development Division, Port of Seattle; and Markham McIntyre, Executive Vice President, Seattle Metropolitan Chamber ofCommerce The Port ofSeattle and the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber ofCommerce have proposed creating a Trusted Community Partner Network to help small businesses recover from the pandernic and are seeking cities to participate. The TCPNwill 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. TukmUm'scontribution 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. The Councilmembers exchanged comments and asked clarifying questions and expressed support for moving forward with this program. CONSENT AGENDA a. Approval of Minutes: 10/4/21 (RequkarW1tgj b.

Phase 2 prioritization for American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds. (Continued from 10111121 Committee of the Whole discussion.) On March 22, 2021 staff began a discussion with the Finance & Governance Committee to seek input into a process to prioritize service level restoration if and when ongoing revenues exceed revenues adopted in the 2021-2022 biennial budget as well as restored revenues from sales tax mitigation payments. Included in the information was a section discussing federal funding through the American Rescue Plan Act. Staff is seeking input to prioritize projects that can be paid for using ARPA funds. The City will receive $5.78 million, and funds must be spent or obligated by December 31, 2024. Staff is seeking direction to include the selected programs in the 2021-2022 budget amendment for 2021 that must be approved prior to December 31, 2021. Following are the suggested programs. The Councilmembers discussed the 15 programs and determined that ARPA funds should not be used for the $150,000 amount for the SCORE jail (South Correctional Entity). It was determined that another funding mechanism should be used to cover SCORE costs such as Streamlined Sales Tax/General Fund. Council consensus existed to retain 14 of the 15 items listed for ARPA fund use and remove the $150,000 SCORE jail amount, with the intent that another funding source be identified for SCORE. The dollar amounts for the 14 approved items will be included in the 2021-2022 budget amendment. Mayor Ekberg asked the Council to provide input on potential programs that could utilize ARPA funds in the future.
