Report from BuRSST Burien, Renton, SeaTac, Skyway and Tukwila) in association with
Northwest Area Foundation (Bill Hooper)
Evelyn Bovkan, Human Services Program Manager, spoke briefly on BuRSST and introduced Bill
Hopper.
Bill Hopper. BuRSST representative, reported the communities of Burien, SeaTac, Tukwila, Renton,
and Skyway are included in an area identified (five years ago) by the Northwest Area Foundation. The
area noted is a prime area where challenging trends are evolving.
The trend is the shift in urban poverty from urban, inner -city neighborhoods to the "first ring" communities
at the City of Seattle's edge. It is to such communities that the children of big -city residents are moving.
They seek more affordable housing, better schools and new /increased employment opportunities.
Additionally, refugees and immigrants who would once have gone to inner -city neighborhoods now seek a
foothold in surrounding cities and communities.
In 2003, the Northwest Area Foundation formed a team with community members to gather information
and demographics of the area specified. That team reached out to the community members struggling
with poverty. Together, they created a vision of "a community that welcomes, values, and cares for each
other, and encourages connection, participation and involvement so that all community members live
After hiring 15 individuals to inform residents about the program and let them know about currently
existing programs and available resources, a strategic plan was developed and strategies were created.
Representatives responded to needs such as employment, low- income tax preparation assistance, legal
assistance, health care issues, and utility rates assistance. Mr. Hopper spoke of building network
connections within the community as a way to strengthen each of the affected communities.
The Northwest Area Foundation has now identified the BuRSST communities as a "venture community"
and will fund poverty alleviation work in this area with $10 million over 10 years.

City Council Reaular Meeting Minutes December 5. 2005
The strategic plan for this work has the following four goals: 1) Improve family stability, 2) Expand
economic opportunity, 3) Invest in children and youth, and 4) Build strong communities.
It is BuRSST's belief that the Northwest Area Foundation and community team have already raised the
community's energy and will to succeed. With the proposed investments and integrity of the strategies,
the venture can be a powerful force for change. Working together, the program will substantially improve
the lives of those in the community and will enhance the prospects of future generations as well.
Among answers to other Council inquiries, Mr. Hopper reported being a long -time Tukwila resident and
graduate of Foster High School.

Mayor Mullet opened the public hearing and called for citizen comment. No one spoke.
After calling for citizen comment a second time and receiving none, Mayor Mullet sought
council discussion on the proposed ordinance.
Councilmember Carter questioned staff and sought clarification to several sections of the proposed
ordinance. Mr. Morrow and Ms. Knighton provided related answers.
Of importance, Ms. Carter questioned the difference between "shall" and "should" when included in
proposed ordinances. Shelley Kerslake, City Attorney, reported the word "Shall" denotes a requirement to
do something or perform a specific action. The word "should" is not as strong in its directive powers. With
that stated, Ms. Carter and Councilmember Robertson spoke in favor of making changes (at the
appropriate time) to particular sections of the Transportation element of Tukwila's Comprehensive Plan.
For the benefit of those present, grammatical edits and changes (not substantive in nature) made after
the Committee of Whole meeting, were reviewed by Ms. Knighton.

Stacy Hansen. Human Services Specialist. reported the drafting of a proposed lease agreement for
proposed transitional housing. If approved, this would be the third property leased to the Way Back Inn
all for the same purpose.
The proposed agreement is written to allow no cost transitional housing to "pre screened, qualifying
homeless families" (with at least one child under the age of 14). In return for use of the home at 14239
42 "d Avenue South, Way Back Inn and its volunteers will clean and prepare the property in line with
program goals, expectations and use.
Further, the proposed lease agreement notes the City's agreement to pay up to $1,200.00 per calendar
year for electrical bills at that address. And, for reference, this residence will be called "Foster House."
ROBERTSON MOVED; DUFFIE SECONDED; TO AUTHORIZE MAYOR MULLET TO SIGN A LEASE
AGREEMENT WITH THE WAY BACK INN FOR USE OF THE PROPERTY AT 14239 42 AVENUE
SOUTH, TO BE KNOWN AS "FOSTER HOUSE.
Councilmembers Robertson and Carter spoke in favor of the proposed lease agreement. Council
President Linder noted tours of transitional housing in Tukwila have been offered before residents move
in and asked Ms. Hansen if that would be possible for this site. Ms. Hansen reported in the affirmative
and agreed to contact Council at the appropriate time.
*The motion to authorize the Mayor to sign the proposed lease agreement carried 7 -0.
Clerical note: As reported to the City Clerk's Office on December 13, 2005, Foster House will be

contract database, this notation is being made.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON,
REGARDING CONCURRENCY MANAGEMENT; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND
ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE
FENTON MOVED; DUFFIE SECONDED; TO HAVE THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE READ BY TITLE
ONLY. The motion carried 7 -0.
Shelley Kerslake, City Attorney, read the title of the proposed ordinance.
FENTON MOVED; DUFFIE SECONDED; TO ADOPT THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE AS READ.*
Debate ensued. Councilmember Haggerton provided background on the proposed ordinance and
complimented those involved with its preparation.
Jim Morrow. Public Works Director. reported the proposed ordinance is necessary to implement level
of service policies previously approved by the Council and contained in the City's Comprehensive Plan
update. Attachment A to the proposed ordinance provides information on how concurrency management
works. He reviewed that attachment with Council.
The proposed ordinance codifies the proposed level of service standards contained in Tukwila's existing
Comprehensive Plan and the proposed update to the Transportation Element of that plan. Required steps
to receive a Certificate of Concurrency for transportation, water, sewer and surface water are defined as
well.
Mr. Morrow recited various portions of the proposed ordinance for the benefit of Council members and
those in the audience.
City of Tukwila Page 6 of 9
City Council Reaular Meetina Minutes December 5. 2005
Upon review of Section 7, line 2, Councilmember Robertson spoke in favor of inserting the words
"dwelling unit" between the words "family" and "building If that is done, the sentence would read, "The
requirement for a concurrency test shall not apply to single family dwelling unit building permits..."
Asking about Section 8, Vesting, Councilmember Hernandez asked about any current applications which
may be vested. Mr. Morrow provided clarification to three regulations that trigger being vested with the
City. He stated applicants who have submitted either a building permit application, entered into formal
negotiations with the City for a developer's agreement, or those who have a signed agreement in place
which addresses traffic concurrency, shall be vested under the rules and regulations in effect prior to the
date of the proposed ordinance.
For the record, Mr. Morrow noted JC Penney's (the site on the which the former business sits) does not
have a pending application, and therefore does not qualify for any of the exemptions. Westfield
Corporation is exempt under the rules; and, since the City has entered into formal negotiations with La
Pianta (relative to the Tukwila South project), they are vested. No others will be vested.
Mark Seaale. Seaale Properties., thanked the Council for including language in the proposed ordinances
allowing for vesting of the Tukwila South Project due to the development agreement negotiations. Mr.
Segale agreed and acknowledged receipt of correspondence (today) that they are in formal negotiations
with the City for the Tukwila South project. Thus, their project is vested.
Mr. Segale noted Segale Properties and La Pianta are opposed to any proposed amendments which
would set a time deadline (sunset clause) for completion of the development agreement. This opposition
exists as "third party negotiations exist" over which Segale Properties and La Pianta "have no control" and
may influence when the development agreement is completed. Further, he stated, "setting a deadline for
negotiations is in no one's best interest." This comment relates to Section 8, Vesting, of the proposed
ordinance which reads, "Applicants shall be vested under the laws, rules and other regulations in effect
prior to the effective date of this ordinance if they have, prior to the effective date of this ordinance: 1.
Submitted a building permit application that the City has deemed complete; or 2. Entered into formal
negotiations with the City, for a development agreement in accordance with RCW 36.708.170 through
36.708.210; or 3. Have a signed agreement with the City that is still in effect."
Council President Linder voiced disagreement with Mr. Segale on the issue and said a deadline for
conclusion of negotiations is important. Councilmember Robertson also stated his disagreement, and
noted contracts, agreements, building permits and other legal documents include termination clauses
within them. This, he noted, should be no different.
This issue was greatly debated with many Councilmembers stating personal viewpoints.
Citing many hours of debate, discussion and brainstorming by City staff and various legislative bodies
within the City, Councilmembers Haggerton, Hernandez, Duffie and Fenton spoke in opposition to
including a deadline in the proposed ordinance.
In response, Shelley Kerslake, City Attorney, provided information on Section 8. She noted that as
worded, "the door is open for any applicant" to indicate they have entered into formal negotiations, at any
time, thus perhaps necessitating an annual review of such agreements.
HERNANDEZ MOVED THE PREVIOUS QUESTION; DUFFIE SECONDED. DISCUSSION
