questions or need additional information about any of the following items.
I. Intergovernmental Update
• King County City Managers/City Administrators Meeting: On May 4 City Administrator Cline
and Deputy City Administrator Bianchi participated in the King County City Managers/City
Administrators monthly meeting. At the meeting Community Development Director Gierloff
presented information about the City of Tukwila Affordable Housing Program. Other city
representatives were impressed by Tukwila's commitment to affordable housing as shown
through projects such as Bellweather, Homestead, Wadajir and the Tiny Home Villages. The
meeting also included a presentation about the City of Mercer Island's Recreation Reset

send-off for Sound Cities Association (SCA) Executive Director Deanna Dawson as she leaves
SCA to become the Executive Director of the Association of Washington Cities.
