II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Interlocal Agreement with Citv of Kent in support of a Homelessness Coordinator
Staff is seeking full Council approval of an interlocal agreement with the City of Kent for a portion of the
costs of services provided by a South King County Homelessness Coordinator.
This coordinator position was identified as a strategy in the South King County Response to
Homelessness: A Call for Action, and during 2008 the position was funded exclusively by United Way
and the City of Kent. A request for financial support for this position has been made to jurisdictions that
benefit from the South King County Homelessness Coordinator. Staff believes this position is valuable
asset in addressing homelessness prevention and intervention.
This interlocal agreement will be funded out of the Human Services budget (contingency funding) and is
for a six month period. Future funding is currently unknown. The current South King County
Homelessness Coordinator, Jason Johnson, will be making a presentation at the April 27 COW.
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO APRIL 27 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
B. Tukwila Swimming Pool Lease Agreement
Staff provided the Committee with an update on the current status of the Tukwila City Pool land lease
with the Tukwila School District.
The lease for the Tukwila City Pool expires on September 15, 2011, and staff intends to enter into
discussions with the School District regarding the possibility of renewing the land lease for the pool
facility. Bruce Fletcher is in receipt of a letter from the District dated January 12, 2009, which outlines
some of lease terms the School District desires to re- negotiate.
Based on Committee discussion, Bruce reported that the swimming pool operates on an approximate 50%
City subsidy.
Staff will return to Committee for further discussion once a suitable lease agreement has been negotiated
with the School District. INFORMATION ONLY.
