II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Minor Home Repair Pro -aram for 2010
Staff is seeking Council authorization to submit the 2010 Community Development Block Grant
application to King County requesting $91,000 for the Minor Home Repair Program.
The City's application proposes to continue the Human Services Minor Home Repair Program for
Tukwila as well as the fiscal management of similar programs for the cities of SeaTac, Des Moines
and Covington. This is the first year that Covington has requested participation in the program.
As with past applications, incorporation of multiple cities into one application makes our request
more competitive against other projects. The funding for this program is not a guarantee.
Evie answered some questions relative to program specifics and those who are served through the
program. The program only serves single family homeowners up to moderate income standards, but the
majority of the clients are at 30% of median income. The program has an annual limit of $2,000 and
lifetime cap of $5,000. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO MAY 11 COW FOR
DISCUSSION.
B. 2009 Comprehensive Plan Amendments
Staff is seeking full Council determination of whether or not to forward the proposed 2009
Comprehensive Plan Amendments to the Planning Commission for further consideration, review and
public hearing. Staff summarized and provided a brief overview of the Comprehensive Plan Amendments
annual review process. Two applications have been submitted for the City's consideration as described

C. Contract Amendment with Commercial Development Solutions
Administration is seeking full Council approval for a contract amendment with Commercial Development
Solutions.
A draft development agreement and annexation for the Tukwila South project are currently being
reviewed at Council work sessions. In an effort to keep the continuity of work moving forward,
Administration is requesting Council approval of a contract amendment that will extend the current
Commercial Development Solutions contract through December 31, 2009, and add an additional amount
of funding for contract services not to exceed $48,000. If the development agreement is approved and
moves forward, several items will still require follow through and action. Administration recommends
contract extension though the end of the year for continuity. UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD
TO MAY 11 COW FOR DISCUSSION.
