SUBJECT: City Administrator's Report

The cafe is funded by the Wellness Hub Grant from the National Recreation and Parks
Association. 36 participants representing the diverse communities that make up Tukwila:
Burmese, Afghani, Nepalese, Somali, Latino, Congolese, and Vietnamese took part in the
Cafe. Interpreters were on hand to facilitate a conversation about how these communities

incorporated into future park design and improvements. The event would not have been
possible without our partnership with Global to Local and HealthPoint.

• Brian Blessing gave
Engineering, Public Works, Fire, and Planning
public comment about
staff met with Brian Blessing and the engineer
short plat issues.
Hamid Korasani to discuss their expired short
plat and shoreline permits. It was explained
that the requirements for public road standards
still apply to the project, and that the main
issue is with the need to provide adequate
access that meets Fire and Public Works
standards via a neighboring private property.
As a result of this constraint, this issue is largely
a private civil matter between the neighboring
property owners.
