A motion allocating $30,000.00 of the City's ending fund balance to the fiscal budget of the Tukwila Community Schools Collaboration (TCSC) in order to extend the program to the end of the school year. Councilmember Duffie reported review and approval of this item at the March 1, 2005 Community Affairs and Parks Committee meeting. Bruce Fletcher, Director of Parks and Recreation, reported additional review of this item at the March 7, 2005 Finance and Safety Committee meeting. Mr. Fletcher reported TCSC is facing short-term fiscal crisis. The Stuart Foundation funding source postponed a board meeting that would have allocated funds to TCSC to August 2005. TCSC expects a three -year commitment from that Foundation when it meets in August. Comprised of five partners, (City of Tukwila, Tukwila School District, Puget Sound Educational Service District, Washington State Department of Social and Health Services and the Casey Family Foundation), the program began in October 1998 and Casey committed to a 10 -year multi million dollar funding pledge. During the economic downturn, Casey has not been able to sustain their funding pledge. Currently facing a short-term fiscal crisis that will cause a closure to the TCSC program as early as April 1, 2005, the Executive Committee has requested funding to support the program through September. As the Casey Family Foundation was unable to meet the need, the other four partners are being asked to contribute funds to assist. The Mayor and School Superintendent have agreed upon the importance of keeping this program operational. It is the request of the Mayor's Office and the Parks and Recreation Department to provide $30,000.00 toward the fiscal budget of the TCSC program in order for the program to continue its operation.
