SUBJECT: WINTERIZATION PROGRAM JOINT GRANT
This is a proposed commitment by the City to be a joint
sponsor in an insulation program for the period of 'July
1, 1978 June 30, 1979.
According to the letter from King County Block Grant
Office, there should be a total available of ±$350,000,
some of which will be alloted to low and moderate income
persons in Tukwila.
This program will be operated by the King County Housing
Authority. Local staff may have to do some minor research
and press releases.

Dear Mayor Bauch:
In the Spring, Tukwila, along with other jurisdictions, co- sponsored
the funding of a Joint Block Grant weatherization project of $25,000.
This fund was intended to provide a match for future federal funds.
These federal funds, from the Community Service Administration and the
Federal Energy Administration, are expected to be received by the
County in the next few months. When they do become available, they will
be combined with the allocated $25,000 of Block Grant funds into one
Unified Weatherization Program. The federal funds could amount to as
much as $350,000 for the third Community Development program year.
Negotiations are now proceeding with the Housing Authority of King
County to carry out the weatherization program. This weatherization
program will, of course, be available to the low income homeowners
in Tukwila.
King County is at present putting together joint projects for program
year four, which begins in July, 1978. We anticipate that federal
weatherization funds will also be available in 1978 at amounts equal
to or greater than that available this year. In order to anticipate
for these funds, it is necessary at this time to apply for $50,000
in Joint Community Development funds for the fourth program year.
We are requesting that Tukwila once again co- sponsor with King County
and other jurisdictions a request for $50,000 in weatherization
funds.

Thank you for your consideration on this matter. I realize that
it is difficult to be thinking about sponsoring an additional
allocation of funds when the present program has not gotten off the
ground. However, due to the long lead time needed in allocating joint
funds, it is necessary to undertake this sponsorship at this time.
