The Black Home Initiative is part of Connecting Capital and Community(3C), a national project of the Center for Community Investment (CCI) that targets racial inequities at the core of the housing ecosystem. With initial seed funding from JPMorgan Chase, this multi-sector effort will apply CCI’s capital absorption framework in five U.S. cities, including the greater Seattle area. Civic Commons is the convening organization weaving together a cross sector impact network to achieve the BHI shared priority. 7 The BHI Network is Implementing the “CCI Capital Absorption Framework” A shared priority is our North Star that guides collaborative work on community investment. A pipeline is a set of deals and projects that help achieve a community’s shared priority. For BHI this is both a supply and demand pipeline effort. The enabling environment is the setting in which community investment takes place. It includes everything that makes it easier or harder to identify a shared priority and develop and fund projects to make that priority a reality. ENABLING ENVIRONMENT: SHARED PRIORITY PIPELINE: 8 What are BHI’s Shared Priority and Line of Sight? Provisional Result The opportunity to own a home,and the potential benefits of that asset,are available to low-and moderate-income Black homeowners who desire it. Key Performance Indicator Number of new Black homeowners who have appropriately affordable mortgages and safe,durable, healthy homes. Ultimate Desired Impact The reduction of racial inequity and an increase in intergenerational Black household wealth. 9 BHI Shared Priority and Line of Sight (cont.) December 2032: What we hope to celebrate (outcomes) •3,000 new Black LMI homeowners (with homes, mortgages, and locations as noted above). •Sustained and meaningful progress along a trajectory that leads to the elimination of: o disproportionality in homeownership rate between Black and white households o systemic barriers, including lending underwriting and real estate practices, that have impeded Black household access to homeownership. December 2027: What we hope to celebrate (outcomes) •1,500 new first time Black LMI homeowners (note, independent of sustaining existing buyers) •All systems that have impeded access to Black homeownership have been clearly defined and some have been transformed. July 2024: Progress made towards those outcomes •We are a strongly aligned impact network delivering on the shared priority and outcomes. •New products--including loans, housing, programs, and resources—are underway. •At least one policy win. •Strategies to sustain existing buyers are implemented. In place : Progress is being made towards those outcomes •Strong Core Team and group of advisors (Full Team)are in place,and they: o demonstrate trusting relationships with each other, o are connected to the community,and o have honed the project focus,mapped and aligned existing actions,and affirmed the community’s shared priorities and developed a workplan. •A policy framework is mapped and enables the shared vision. 1 0 Core Team Members NAME ROLE DEMOGRAPHICS PERSON’S STAKE IN THIS ISSUE CONCRETE CONTRIBUTIONS Nicole Bascomb Chapter President of Western Washington Realtists (NAREB) Female, Black/African American Passionate leader in Black Community Trusted broker, connected thought leader, brings Realist engagement Andrea Caupain CEO of Byrd Barr Place, a community action agency Female, Black/African American Provide thought leadership to advance the ideas from commitment to action Evangelize the work to stakeholders Gregory Davis Managing Strategist, Rainier Beach Action Male, Black/African American Passionate leader in Black community Trusted broker, connected thought leader Gordon McHenry CEO, United Way King Co.Male, Black/African American Developing a strategy to significantly increase Black wealth with support and commitment from philanthropic, business and public sectors Using relationships, reputation and influence (both personal and United Way’s) to ensure needed support and successful outcomes Michelle Merriweather CEO, Urban League of Metropolitan Seattle Female, Black/African American Passionate leader in Black community Trusted broker, connected thought leader Darryl Smith Executive Director of HomeSight, a local NeighborWorks organization Male, Black/African American Passionate leader in Black community Trusted broker, connected thought leader Anna Boone Manager of Government Relations, Zillow Female, White/Caucasian Personal and organizational commitment to closing the racial wealth gap through homeownership opportunities Well-connected within business and political circles; able to leverage robust housing research and data to support the initiative Felicia Medlen Manager, Housing Division City of Tacoma Female, Black/African American Passionate leader in Black Community in Tacoma Public sector, connected thought leader 1 1 L a s t M o d i f i e d 9 / 4 / 2 0 1 8 9 : 0 4 A M E a s t e r n S t a n d a r d T i m e P r i n t e d How can we significantly scale the number of Black homeowners in order to achieve our shared priority?

The primary purpose of Black Home Initiative (BHI) is to increase the number of BIPOC households who successfully secure homeownership. The ultimate impact we aspire to is the reduction of inequity and an increase in intergenerational household wealth. Our initial emphasis, and our shared priority, is on Black households; within five years, the goal is to make the opportunity to own a home, and the potential benefits of that asset, available to 1,500 new low- and moderate-income Black homeowners in South Seattle, South King County, and North Pierce County. The initiative will concurrently focus on the essential work of clearly defining, and transforming, the systems that have impeded access to homeownership for Black households in our area. Why is BHI Needed? Rising costs have made purchasing a home a challenge for many people in this region. However, historical structural racism and persistent institutional racism and exclusion mean this goal is even less attainable for Black households. In Seattle, the homeownership rate among Black households is 26%, roughly half the rate among white households (51%). The homeownership rate among Black households in Tacoma is 35%, compared to 64% among white households. (1) Why is a BHI Network Needed? Making BHI’s shared priority a reality requires change in many aspects of several intersecting systems. This involves the biggest-picture principles, the most detailed metrics, and the large, complex web of policies and practices in between. No single organization, no matter how determined or well-resourced, can do it alone. This shared priority needs an approach that breaks with traditional ways of approaching affordable homeownership work. Breakthrough success will only come from doing three things: ➢ Bringing together the people who make decisions for, and carry out the work of, many relevant sectors; ➢ Elevating the voices of the community members impacted by that work; and ➢ Combining the depth and breadth of their diverse experience, expertise, tools, resources, and commitment. This is a shared priority. So the key will be shifting our mindset away from working as bright but separate stars and towards working like a highly connected constellation. By aligning ourselves in a network, our joint impact can be far greater than the sum of our individual efforts. If our intent is to increase affordable housing supply, prepare Black homebuyers for their journey, support them along the way, and facilitate their ability to live out their homeownership dreams, then our target is systemic change that rights the wrongs of the past and the present and ensures equitable access to opportunity in the future. Impact networks offer us the power and the pathway we need to achieve that kind of fundamental and lasting transformation. 27 BHI Network Partner Pledge Black Home Initiative [January 2023] p.2 of 3 BHI Network Partner Principles We strive to right the wrongs of past discriminatory practices and commit to a focus on doing all we can to ensure Black homebuyers get an opportunity to purchase homes. We understand that the complexity of this issue dictates that we work together at new levels of collaboration, embracing a mindset that overcomes the fear of competition for scarce resources. We fully engage in this work, wholeheartedly and with urgency, drawing on the breadth and depth of each of our partner organizations and their respective strengths. We engage in this work because we truly believe it must be done. We embrace the power and hope of trust. While we prefer to know and define every detail about the work, we understand that there will be ambiguity as we name, and endeavor to carry out, the adaptive work before us. “Gets”: What does BHI Network offer its partners? (Will vary by organization) ➢ New relationships with organizations and individuals that carry the potential for mission alignments and reciprocal benefits. ➢ Connections to Black homebuyers who could potentially purchase homes through coordinated identification and preparation efforts. ➢ Access to shared support services, such as marketing, communications, and resource development. ➢ Coordination of policy analysis, policy formulation, and advocacy mobilization. ➢ Promising practices sourced from both local network partners and other national 3C sites. ➢ Technical assistance and peer assists. ➢ Potential connection to and/or access to financing resources for capacity building, outreach to buyers, predevelopment, and construction of affordable homes. ➢ Alignment and affinity with a broad, diverse network of organizations focused on this critical societal issue. “Gives”: What can partners offer BHI Network? (Will vary by organization) Partners strengthen the network by demonstrating commitment to the shared priority, by their sustained participation in refining the shared priority, by living out the principles stated above, and by possibilities such as: ➢ Spreading the word about BHI using their organizational platforms (e.g., newsletters, website news/blogs, social media, presentations, and events). ➢ Facilitating the ability of their staff and volunteers to participate in BHI project teams and design teams, and recognizing them for doing so. ➢ Encouraging constituents to take action in support of policy and advocacy efforts appropriate for their organization. ➢ Bringing awareness of BHI to donors and investors with potential for substantial interest and contribution, providing them opportunities for helping both their organization and the broader network. ➢ Remaining alert to promising practices, doing what they can to share them with BHI Network partners. ➢ Engaging in marketing and outreach to potential homebuyers as applicable. ➢ Providing technical assistance to other partners through peer assists and support. ➢ Reporting frequently on the network contributions they are making. 28 BHI Network Partner Pledge Black Home Initiative [January 2023] p.3 of 3 The mission of BHI Network partners has always been to increase BIPOC homeownership by increasing partner capacity without necessarily growing their organizations. Ultimately, all BHI Network partners can articulate the overall impact of BHI and the ways in which the impact network has contributed to achieving BHI’s shared priority. We acknowledge that, due to their constituents or broad coalitions, BHI Network partners may not be able to endorse every policy position that the initiative explores and/or pursues. We want part ners to feel comfortable being transparent about the limitations they have. Endorsement for major policies happens on a case-by-case basis coordinated by the advocacy organization leading it. Next Steps Questions?

This TMC is effective for public roadway, right of way, and City owned property (buildings, their parking lots, City parks). Parts of the TMC were legally challenged, and suspended as a result, due to previous language. This updated TMC corrects that language in each section and how they relate to one another, and updates the chapter 9 sections for relevance to present day issues.

Meeting Date Prepared by Mayor’s review Council review 5/15/23 LH 8 43 44 City of Tukwila Allan Ekberg, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM TO: City Council FROM: Laurel Humphrey, Legislative Analyst DATE: May 9, 2023 SUBJECT: Special Legislative Session on Drug Possession (“Blake Fix”) ISSUE Governor Inslee called for a special legislative session to begin May 16 to focus on passing a new drug possession law. DISCUSSION In 2021, the state Supreme Court struck down the law that made drug possession a felony punishable by up to five years in prison. In a case called State v. Blake, the court decided the law was unconstitutional because it included people who didn’t realize they were carrying drugs. A stopgap bill that makes unlawful possession a misdemeanor on the third violation sunsets on July 1, so the legislature will focus on addressing this in the special session. The City Council’s 2023 Legislative Agenda included: “Respond to the Blake decision by revising the current system so that it can be more effectively administered within and across jurisdictions, including funding for cities affected by changes resulting from the Blake decision.” Below is the complete text of a letter sent by the Association of Washington Cities to legislators and Blake negotiators. “Legislative leaders, The Association of Washington Cities urges you to pass a clear and functional Blake fix. Washington cities appreciate the thoughtful work that has occurred on this topic and continue to believe that the best solution is a workable, consistent statewide approach that provides the flexibility that each individual, each case, and each community need. As you prepare for special session and work to develop legislation, we would like to share with you additional information about our preferences and concerns: Gross misdemeanor charge and clear accountability AWC supports a gross misdemeanor charge for possession of controlled and counterfeit substances with a focus on encouraging individuals to enter treatment in lieu of criminal penalties. For those that refuse or fail to comply with treatment, there must be accountability within the criminal justice system. We agree with all prior versions of the bill that possession of cannabis up to 40 grams, as well as possession of a legend drug, should remain a simple misdemeanor as they are under current law. For those that refuse or fail to comply with treatment, there must be accountability within the criminal justice system and judicial discretion to impose a jail sentence if appropriate. A gross misdemeanor will also appropriately prioritize the case for law enforcement, for the prosecutor, and for the state toxicology lab. AWC is concerned that the requirement that the Washington State Patrol to “aim to complete the necessary” drug analysis in a timely manner is insufficient to guarantee timeliness. Additionally, the court needs adequate time to engage in a case. A gross misdemeanor 45 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 charge allows the court to have two years of full jurisdiction over the case, allowing sufficient time for the toxicology lab results to arrive, for an individual to seek an evaluation, and for the individual to complete 12-months of treatment. Clarify definition of public “use”: We are comfortable with including the additional charge of public use in addition to knowing possession, but request that it not be combined with possession so that they are truly separate crimes. Additionally, the term public “use” must be clearly defined to include “actual use or actions that evidence an intent to use a controlled substance in a public place”. This will allow law enforcement and the prosecutor to effectively take action in cases involving public use. Without this clarification, the language as drafted is not workable and will likely result in cases not being brought forward. Clear diversion options that reflect what is currently available in our communities: Cities support pre-trial diversion to encourage individuals to obtain treatment in lieu of criminal penalties. However, it must be workable within what is currently available in each jurisdiction. AWC supported the Senate-passed version of SB 5536 that provides leeway for different types of diversion options that may exist and have capacity in the community and what may be the best fit for the individual. When crafting a pre-trial diversion program, cities request: • Prosecutorial and court discretion as to whether to approve a defendant for diversion. • Flexibility to utilize therapeutic courts and other existing diversion options. • Judicial discretion when an individual is evaluated and found to not have a substance use disorder, rather than a prescriptive requirement to order community service. • A standard of 12-months of substantial compliance with all recommended treatment. • Flexibility to order a defendant obtain treatment as is available and appropriate within the community, without the requirement to only use a recovery navigator program, law enforcement assisted diversion, or arrest and jail alternative program. The recovery navigator program is not yet at a stage statewide to respond to a significant increase in caseload, and requiring its use may be a bridge to nowhere. Clear role for the court and a reasonable administrative burden for prosecutors: AWC supports the clarifying language made by the House to protect the neutral role of the court. However, we are concerned about the requirement for the prosecutor to make the motion to vacate a conviction. This adds a substantial administrative burden for prosecutors. We support a vacation process similar to others in current law that are initiated by the defendant. Further, the most recent version of the bill includes a requirement for prosecutors to enter data into the statewide database, including information which will not be readily available to the prosecutor. For example, it would not be appropriate for a prosecutor to ask a defendant their race and ethnicity, gender expression, and disability, as it is not relevant to the adjudication of their case. Law enforcement assisted diversion: AWC fully supports the change in RCW 71.24.589 to make the law enforcement assisted diversion pilot program an ongoing grant program. Maintain public engagement for siting of treatment facilities: We ask that any legislation maintains the current requirement for the Department of Health to hold a public hearing prior to the siting of an opioid use disorder treatment facility. Transparency and open communication are important, particularly to educate the public about the nature of these facilities, 46 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 3 safety measures that will be in place, and other critical pieces of information for neighboring business owners and residents. We appreciate your consideration of cities’ positions on this critical issue, and we look forward to working with you in crafting legislation that addresses our shared concerns about the negative impacts of drug use in our communities.” RECOMMENDATION Staff is seeking Council direction on this issue. 47 48 The City of opportunity, the community of choice TO: Mayor Ekberg Councilmembers FROM: David Cline, City Administrator DATE: May 9, 2023 SUBJECT: City Administrator’s Report The City Administrator Report is meant to provide the Council, staff and community with an update on the activities of the City and on issues that concern Tukwila. Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional information about any of the following items.

Seattle Chocolate Company has an impressive recycling rate of sixty-one percent. Their food products are composted through a local composting facility and, in addition to recycling typical items (cans, bottles, etc.) they also have specialized collection programs for recycling items such as pallets, plastic film, steel drums and shredded paper. •Elected Officials Reception: On April 26 Mayor Ekberg offered welcoming remarks to the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties at their Elected Officials Reception held at the Museum of Flight.

II.Community Events •Community Outreach: Community Development staff participated in outreach events at Riverton Park United Methodist Church and Saar's Super Saver Foods to gain community feedback about Tukwila's Middle Housing Project and 2024 Comprehensive Plan update. At both events, staff recorded valuable community opinions about housing, including concerns 49 City Administrator’s Report May 9, 2023 Page 2 about availability, costs, and unit sizes. Staff also received important feedback about the languages that the City uses in communications; the lessons learned from this feedback will be incorporated into future events to ensure all residents have access to City outreach in a language that they understand. • Wildlife Wednesday: Wildlife Wednesday, Urban Birding was a huge success. Washington Department Fish and Wildlife Habitat at Home Program brought in Kelsey Hansen, a biologist specializing in birds. The class had 24 attendees from teenagers to seniors, and folks from all walks of life gather to learn the basics of bird watching. This is the last workshop in the popular Wildlife Wednesday series. • Service-Learning Site: Parks and Recreation staff are working with Highline School’s Big Picture to create a Service-Learning Site in Tukwila where youth come out once a month to perform restoration, learn about wildlife, and spend time in nature. The class came out to Cottonwood Corner and cleared 200-square-feet of mature blackberry. III. Staff Updates Public Safety • Coffee With A Cop: The Tukwila Police Department hosted Coffee With A Cop on April 27 at Starbucks. Officers learned how to make lattes. Apollo made a special appearance at the event and had his own Pup Cup. • Thorndyke Elementary Resource Fair: On April 28 Police Department staff participated in the Resource Fair at Thorndyke Elementary. They spoke to the students at the fair and handed out Tukwila Police stickers, lollipops, D.A.R.E. pencil cases and pencils, and flyers for families on children’s safety. The flyer included ensuring children knew their parent’s full names, addresses, and phone numbers in case of an emergency, traffic safety, and what to do if a stranger approached them.
