It discusses a variety of available programs, and provides helpful information to businesses and individuals impacted by COVID-19. ► During this time of closures, many Tukwila restaurants are open for carryout and/or delivery. For the most recently updated list, visit TukwilaWA.gov/restaurants. ► The City of Tukwila launched SavingLocalKC.com, in partnership with the City of Kent and 10 Chambers of Commerce. The Saving Local campaign allows businesses to provide deals that consumers can purchase now. The goal is to help provide cash flow to businesses that are closed or significantly impacted by the Stay Home, Stay Healthy Order. Consumer -facing businesses in King County can participate and sign up on the website.

To ensure that students would have the necessary Internet access to continue learning remotely, the City of Tukwila formed a partnership with the Tukwila School District. Providing free publicwi-fi and broadband diversification are major technol- ogy focus areas for the City. Over the past four years, Tukwila has been working with strategic vendors to move this plan forward. Partnering with the School District was a perfect fit. Together we devised a plan that would compliment our public wi-fi service with mobile hot spots provided by AT&T. To date, we have deployed over 500 My-Fi devices to families that need the service. The hotspots are free for families that have need, and the service plan lasts for 6 months with unlimited data. Families can connect up to 10 devices to one mobile hotspot. Parks and trails are OPEN! Tukwila Parks and Recreation offers over 150 acres of parks and open space. A walk through a park, quiet moment on a nature trail, or playing in an open field helps to ease stress while provid- ing exercise. All parks and trails are free and available to Tukwila residents and visitors. Step outside and enjoy your open spaces today! Keep in mind that crowded parks can lead to closed parks, so please follow social distancing guidelines and park rules.

Getting the word out means getting our fair share! Mayor's Message Making sense of these hard times Like every community around the country, our city has been hard hit by the coronavirus pandemic. Schools and businesses have shut down, and our economy has taken a hit that will take significant time to recover from. We have had residents who have been per- sonally affected by this global pandem- ic. They have become ill or lost loved ones - as of this writing, at least one death of a Tukwila resident, documented by King County Public Health. Nationally, we have experienced more than 110,00 deaths due to this virus, plus unemployment rates we have not seen in nearly 100 years. These are hard times. In addition, our nation is currently reckoning with hundreds of years of history of systemic oppression within our country that has resulted in countless victims, including the horrific events in Minneapolis that resulted in the death of George Floyd in May. We acknowledge that there are many in our Tukwila community who also suffer - on a daily basis - from systematic oppression and inequality. In Tukwila we have made it clear - through policy, resolutions and actions - that we will continue to fight inequity, racism and poverty. We also recognize that we have a long way to go to achieve this goal. As of this writing, we have had activities in Tukwila that were not protests, rallies or commemorations of Mr. Floyd's life and tragic death. They were callous acts of numerous individuals focused on exploiting these difficult times for their own gain. These individuals broke into very specific businesses looking for high -dollar items to steal, not caring whether the stores were owned by corporate America or immigrant business owners. While national audio-visual, apparel and cell phone stores were victims, so was an immigrant -owned beauty sup- ply store and a family -owned restaurant that just opened here in Tukwila. Such activities are not the work of individuals hon- oring Mr. Floyd or the countless other victims of oppression in our country. This is the work of individuals looking to profit off of these difficult times facing our nation. This is the work of people putting more jobs in our city at risk - during a time when we have never had such tenuous access to employment, income and basic needs due to the coronavirus pandemic. These activities that occurred take us back, not forward, and will not be tolerated in our city. As these events and the pandemic converge, I want to remind everyone that Tukwila employees remain at the ready to provide superior public service to this community. I want to thank the Tukwila Police Department for their diligent work to minimize the loss of property and, most importantly, ensure that the people working and living in our city remain safe. I want to thank the Public Works staff who are in the commu- nity on a daily basis, improving our infrastructure, supporting our first responders, and doing the day-to-day work to keep our city open. To the firefighters who continue to provide this community some of the best fire and aid response times in the region, thank you for your work. Behind all of these more publicly visible Tukwila employees are individuals in other City departments who have demonstrated flexibility, adapted and innovated to figure out how to provide superior customer service while adhering to the Stay Home, Stay Healthy order through telecommuting for the past two months. I am confident that ahead of us we have recovery. We will emerge from this pandemic, solidify our economy and shore up our families. I look forward to the day when our students are back at school, visitors are safely enjoying retail, restau- rant and entertainment destinations throughout our City, and our Tukwila Community Center is once again vibrant in its offering of programs supporting all corners of our community. I also believe that while we acknowledge the realities of what our nation's past has forged in our today, I am proud to work with such a dedicated Council to represent a City that I know, while imperfect, is working toward these goals. Z,MeAr Mayor, City of Tukwi Council Statement on Discrimination The Tukwila City Council is troubled by reports of anti -Asian rhetoric and bias emerging since the outbreak of COVID-19. As outlined in Resolution 1970, we are committed to leading a diverse, tolerant and welcoming community, and we do not tolerate discrimination of any kind. We denounce COVID-19-related misnaming, blaming or harassment based upon race, immigration status, ethnicity, physical ability, socioeconomic status or religion. We urge all community members to help stop the spread of misinformation and stay current through reputable sources, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Washington State Department of Health, and Public Health - Seattle & King County. We ask community members who observe or experience hate crimes to call 911, and to report incidents of discrimination to the Washington State Human Rights Commission. We are united in our resolve that everyone in our community is deserving of respect and safety, as we work through this pandemic together.

There has been an unfortunate loss of loved ones, all with names and roles in their families and communities, and stories of residents fighting through infections. So much has happened since then, yet we have a long way to go and continue to battle many unknowns. I have seen a lot of resil- ience in this city: in our government, school districts and in the community. Fear is a normal human emotion, but resiliency is the best response to our realities around staying safe and staying home. Governor Inslee outlined specific rules for how we conduct business. As a Council, we quickly adapted to virtual meetings and redirected our attention to the crisis at hand. As a legisla- tive body we have been working hard with the Mayor to solve a budget gap of $12 million in 2020 and $6 million in 2021. This gap is impactful to all City departments and the public ser- vices they provide. It's also an opportunity for unprecedented collaboration/sacrifice. I am inspired by the contributions and creative thinking from City staff at all levels. As I write this, de- tails are still being worked out but I can assure you that health and safety is still paramount. Talking with employees about revenue losses and the possibilities of impacts such as pay cuts, furloughs, hiring freezes, cuts to service and more is one of the most difficult things about our roles in public service. I am grateful for the swift action of state and local leaders to stop the spread of this virus, and in sharing new and emerging best practices to deal with this crisis. I am thankful to you for playing your part in protecting yourselves and those around you. Our distancing efforts, although not easy, have been working and they are solely in the spirit of making sure this epi- demic isn't more impactful. As of this writing we have seen 149 positive test results in Tukwila, with one death. We are seeing progress in slowing the curve, but if we relax distancing mea- sures too soon, we could see infection rates swiftly rise again. Quality of life is important to all of us and the commitment to protect yourselves and loved ones is also a part of that. Please do your part, stay the course, and seek out information from reputable health sources. We all look forward to the day we can spend time together without limitations. Stay safe and keep going - together we will get through this. MAY/JUNE2020 Tukwila's Budget and the Impact of the Coronavirus Pandemic Our current reality Like many other local governments, the City of Tukwila faces an immediate budget shortfall due to the coronavirus pandemic. The City is losing revenues from sales, gambling and utility taxes as a result of the Stay Home, Stay Healthy order. Additionally, property tax deadlines have been pushed out, and State -sanctioned timelines for remitting sales tax have been extended. This means a delay for the City to receive its property and sales tax revenues. What this means From what we now understand, this economic crisis will extend into 2021 at a minimum. The City of Tukwila projects the loss of $12 million in revenues this year and a loss of $6 million in revenues in 2021. Such revenue losses require expenditure reductions, resulting in an impact to City services. Services the City must provide State law outlines a few specific City services that all code cities must provide, such as a chief law enforcement officer, and city planners to enforce the Growth Management Act. Most City services are established by City Council policy based on community priorities. Standards for these specific service decisions - like law enforcement response times or human services funding - are often subject to legal requirements. For example, when a jurisdiction decides to provide fire services, training and other activities are legally mandated with that service. Tukwila's adopted Strategic Plan provides much of the policy guidance for services. Our biennial budgets are developed to be in alignment with the fi ,c analc niitlinorl in thn Ctratoain Golan June 2, 2020 Possibility of other available revenues The Federal Government has provided some funding for cities with 500,000 or more residents. The State is also distributing additional federal funds to cities based on population. With Tukwila's population of 20,000 residents, our share is proportionately small. However, it is important to know that this funding is being made available to cities to cover costs associated with the pandemic, not for lost revenues. The reality is that the City's current budget shortfall has very little to do with pandemic - associated spending, and everything to do with lost tax revenues. Supplementing the General Fund with other City funds Some of the City's enterprise funds are seeing lost revenue - such as the water fund, which has fewer customers during the shutdown. Funds covering the Public Safety Plan have already been committed to those projects and cannot be held back at this time. Any interfund loan made from one fund - such as the sewer fund - would need to be paid back in a reasonable period of time and with market -rate interest. Utilizing contingency or reserve funds The City has both contingency and reserve funds (unassigned fund balance). It is expected that more than half of the contingency fund will be used in 2020 to deal with the budget shortfall. If the economy does not improve, any remaining contingency funds will be used up in 2021. By their nature, these funds must keep sufficient monies on hand for cash flow purposes or dealing with future emergencies. It is neither prudent nor possible for the City to spend all of its contingency Actions for reducing expenditures Consistent with other cities in the region, nearly 70% of the City's general fund is spent on personnel. While all departments have slashed their budgets for items like supplies and professional services, it's not enough savings to preclude staff cuts of some nature. The City has also enacted a hiring freeze, taken steps to control overtime costs, removed nonessential training and travel, furloughed part-time staff, and reduced capital projects. Combined, these actions reduced City expenses by $4 million. Staff has identified an additional $2 million in other savings, such as delaying purchases for the City's fleet and reducing or eliminating non- essential services. The City will achieve the additional $6 million in savings through a combination of actions. Staff anticipates the City will use approximately $4.8 million in contingency through the end of 2020. These actions impact City employees. The largest represented staff group is Teamsters, in four different bargaining groups. Three of them voted for furloughs, reducing their hours from 40 per week to 36 per week, with the associated 10% pay reduction. One unit voted to implement the terms of their contract, which has resulted in the layoff of five employees. Non -represented staff are also being furloughed with a 10% pay reduction and associated hour reduction. The staff leadership "Admin Team" is taking a 10% salary reduction with no reduction in hours. These furloughs and staff reductions do not affect either the Tukwila Police or Fire Departments. What this means for City services City services will be impacted with reduced staff and reduced hours. Many City employees are currently telecommuting due to the pandemic, with the buildings on the City Hall campus closed to the public. When normal operations do resume, City Hall and the 6300 building next door will be closed to the public every Friday through the end of the year. Starting June 5, 2020, staff will telecommute on Friday mornings and not work on Friday afternoons. City services (such as pet licenses, construction permits and human services requests) will not be fulfilled - either virtually or in -person - on Friday afternoons for the remainder of 2020. Staff reductions in our maintenance and trades unit, plus the associated hiring freeze necessary to achieve needed expenditure savings, means reduced services in our Streets Department. This means, for example, fewer litter patrols, longer stretches between vegetation management on the roadsides, or longer response times for various requests. Safety -related tasks will be prioritized over issues that do not affect the well-being of the Tukwila community. However, residents will notice a reduction in service levels from our Streets Department throughout the city. Although the City understands many of these services are important to the community, with reduced staffing there must be reductions in service levels. As of this writing, the Parks and Recreation Department is making plans to reopen when allowed under the Governor's Safe Start order. Staff anticipates some reduction in hours at the Tukwila Community Center once it reopens, with an associated reduction in service levels. More information on parks and recreation programming will be released once there is better clarity on when these activities can resume. What comes next Staff will be providing regular updates to the City Council on the financial status of the City, with ongoing monitoring of revenues and expenditures. Interested community members are encouraged to sign up for the weekly Council packet email at TukwilaWA.gov/AgendaPacket. City staff is beginning the preparations for the 2021/2022 budget, and Tukwila will need to address the projected $6 million shortfall in 2021. This means there will likely be additional reductions to services in 2021 associated with these needed expenditure reductions. The City will begin its biennial budget process this summer. In the fall the Administration and Council will work in collaboration to achieve a balanced budget for 2021 and 2022. Significant opportunities will be provided for the community to weigh in. MAY/JUNE2020 • (TILL TAKING CARE OF TLIKWIL4 Public; Works I)epartment In response to COVID-19, the Public Works Department has initiated changes throughout its divisions. Body temperature checks are taken at the beginning and end of shifts - and encouraged throughout the shifts - for City personnel and contractors. For Facilities staff, their enhanced duties include extra maintenance efforts with cleaning and disinfecting. They provide disinfectant supplies for Police, Fire and other City departments, as well as personal protective equipment. All of the City's empty suites have had the HVAC completely disabled or adjusted and lighting adjusted to conserve energy due to office staff telecommuting. Utility crews have been split into two shifts (day/night) to accommodate social distancing requirements and avoid sharing common spaces (trucks, offices). They've been able to accomplish maintenance tasks that would normally take longer, like handling streetlight outage reports. The night sewer crew has worked on East Marginal Way South, cleaning recently -inspected drains that were noted as needing maintenance. Among other call -outs, the crew responded to a backed -up sewer at a store on Southcenter Parkway. When they jetted the store's sewer main, what came out was a large amount of paper towels and wipes! The manager was asked to remind the cleaning crew not to flush those types of cleaning products. (See related article below.) IT'S A TOILET, NOT A TRASH CAN Just because an item is labeled "flushable" doesn't mean it should go down the drain. Many "flushable" products do not break down in the sewer system. Flushing disposable wipes risks a blockage in your own pipes. And they're clogging City sewer lines. They damage pumps and other equipment - problems that are expensive to fix. Although keeping maintenance costs down is important, keeping this community safe from sewage spills is crucial. Clogs in sewer pipes can lead to dangerous raw sewage overflows into homes, businesses and local waterways. Tukwila's Sewer Crew says please, NEVER flush wipes - or any of the items listed at the right - down the toilet (or put them down the garbage disposal or drain). Toss them in the real trash can. Community Development I)epartment Permit Center - To help projects move forward, many permit- ting functions have moved to a Virtual Permit Center, and some permits can be obtained online. In alignment with the Governor's Stay Home, Stay Healthy order, the Permit Center is closed to walk-in customers. We have set up a drop-off and pick-up area at the Permit Center building to minimize person -to -person contact. Staff is also available during business hours via phone and email: Email: Permits@TukwilaWA.gov Phone: 206-431-3670 For the latest updates related to permitting and inspections, please visit TukwilaWA.gov/permit-center. Code Compliance - Code Enforcement staff is available to receive and follow up on complaints. Staff has been working, continuing to provide our residents and business partners with support on a variety of code enforcement issues, especially life -safety concerns. We provide community resources, offering pathways to compliance with understanding for the limitations that this global crisis has forced upon us all. Community members are encouraged to contact us with concerns: Email: CodeEnforcement@TukwilaWA.gov Phone: 206-431-3671 Rental Housing Licensing Program - To ensure safe and healthy housing for tenants, all owners of residential rental properties are required to obtain an annual Rental Business License. We now accept online applications and payments. For rental -related concerns, contact the Rental Housing Program: Email: RentalHousing@TukwilaWA.gov Phone: 206-431-2164 For more information, visit TukwilaWA.gov/rental-housing.

If so, now's a good time to tackle it. English ivy (Hedera helix) is a non-native invasive species that is slowly covering our native forests. As an evergreen vine, it grows all year long, but most rapidly right now during the spring and early summer months. It crawls across entire land- scapes, smothering smaller plants and shrubs and climbing our tallest trees. As it climbs, it attaches itself to the bark and eventually can pull huge trees down with its weight. Is ivy climbing your landscaping? Saving your trees doesn't require a ladder. First, start by cutting all the climbing vines at shoulder height around the tree trunk (using pruners or loppers). Do this again at the base of the tree. Then, remove all the cut sections of ivy from the tree. Don't attempt to pull down on the higher -growing ivy above your head; it can dam- age the tree and possibly be dangerous. The vines will dry up, turn brown and fall off on their own once they are cut. Next, take a shovel or rake and dig out the ivy's roots. Plan to work through the soil within 5 feet all around the base of the tree. Wetting down the soil in this area allows the vines to come up much more easily. Finally, roll up the ivy or bundle it togeth- er and throw it in the trash. Do not try to compost it - it takes forever to break down and can easily regrow if it touches soil. Ivy has become a big problem for public green spaces. The City - along with dedicated volunteer groups - is working to remove ivy from our City parks. For more information on English ivy, its control and disposal, check out this brochure from the Green Seattle Partnership - an affiliate of the Green Tukwila Partnership: TukwilaWA.gov/ivy.
