V. OLD BUSINESS
a. HB 1406. San Filippo provided an update on tracking City decisions with regard to pooling
HB 1406 funds. Since the last meeting, there have been some City decisions made in light of
COVID-19 and immediate needs for rental assistance. On April 28, the City of Covington
allocated HB 1406 funds collected in 2020 to rental assistance and will revisit future year
allocations later this year. City of Renton Committee of the Whole met and provided staff
direction to move forward with intent to pool HB 1406 funds for 2020 and indicated desire

to revisit allocation of funds collected in 2021. Angela asked if City representatives had
updates to share.
Mark Santos-Johnson said the City of Renton will move forward with the ordinance enacting
collection of HB 1406 funds which was previously on hold as the City considered a housing
levy. Committee indicated support for pooling 2020 funds but want to revisit the decision
for future years. Santos-Johnson said Renton’s City Attorney indicated changes needed in
the SKHHP Interlocal Agreement to enable pooling of HB 1406 funds, staff work group will
be working through next steps on this potential action item.
Ciamomo said the City of Covington allocated funds to two organizations for rental
assistance, Catholic Community Services and Vine Maple Place. Covington intends to
allocate HB 1406 annually, next allocation decision will be January 2021.
McLeod said City of Tukwila originally discussed allocating 30% to the City’s rental
assistance program and 70% to the SKHHP pool, as the pandemic unfolded they decided to
allocate 90% to the City’s rental assistance program and 10% to SKHHP for three months
(April, May, and June) and intend to revisit the decision in July.
San Filippo provided an overview of how the SKHHP Housing Capital Fund is set up in the
Interlocal Agreement and potential changes needed to address pooling HB 1406 funds. As
City’s make decisions to pool funds annually and allocate differing percentages of funds,
questions have surfaced regarding the wording of pooling resolutions and how they are
legally interpreted. The staff work group will bring back recommendations and ask for Board
direction at the next meeting.
b. 2020-2021 Work Plan. San Filippo provided an update on the 2020-2021 work plan and
timeline of scheduled presentations/briefings with jurisdictions, feedback from the Board
was incorporated into the draft and presentations with individual jurisdictions began in mid-
May. The presentations/briefings are an opportunity for each jurisdi ctions to provide
feedback and ask questions about the work plan before formal adoption of the plan later
this year. Presentations will include brief background on SKHHP, overview of work done in
2019, a summary of the 2020-2021 work plan, and maintaining the current jurisdiction
contributions through 2022.
Clarification that no briefings held outside of a regular Council meeting will include a
quorum. Backus asked that each Board member work with San Filippo to understand
council interests and help to ensure presentations are successful. San Filippo said next steps
for work plan adoption will be a resolution at the July SKHHP Board meeting followed by
individual jurisdiction adoption.
c. Draft 2021 and 2022 budget scenarios and SKHHP position descriptions. San Filippo
reviewed three hiring scenarios based on direction from the Board to move forward with
hiring a SKHHP Program Coordinator while maintaining individual jurisdiction contributions
through 2022.
ATTACHMENT A
May 22, 2020 SKHHP Executive Board Meeting Minutes Page 3 of 4
The first scenario is a non-benefitted positions at 28 hours per week with a hire date in
Summer/Fall 2020, sustainable with current budget contributions beyond 2022. The second
scenario is a benefitted position at 30 hours per week with a hire date of October 2020,
sustainable with current budget contributions through 2022. The third scenario is a full-time
benefitted position with a hire date of January 1, 2021, sustainable with current budget
contributions through 2022. San Filippo asked for Board direction on next steps using one of
these scenarios or some combination of the scenarios.
Discussion about scenario two with a later hire date would provide additional cost savings
but would affect workload and the ability to implement the work plan.
Mark Santos-Johnson indicated strong support for scenario two or three and indicated
benefits being critical. He stated that either scenario two or three or some combination of
the two would put SKHHP in a position to show progress to each partner jurisdiction. Dana
Ralph indicated agreement. Discussion on three-quarter time versus full time and impact on
the workload. Discussion about moving forward with option two and transitioning the
position to full-time. In order to maintain current jurisdiction contributions the conversion
to full-time would need to be several months into 2021. Sunaree Marshall indicated support
for scenario two or three.
Question about the cost difference between what is budgeted versus the cost of hiring a
full-time Program Coordinator and discussion about potential challenges in hiring someone
three-quarter time. McLeod said he likes the idea of starting with scenario two and moving
to scenario three.
Ciamomo made a motion to move forward with hiring scenario two as presented, McLeod
seconded. Santos-Johnson offered amendment to proceed with option three if they are not
successful with hiring three-quarter time position. Ralph seconded the amendment. All in
favor of the amendment. Vote on motion as amended, all in favor.
VI. New Business
a. Quarterly budget reports – Q1 2020. San Filippo presented the progress and reviewed the
format and content of the progress report. San Filippo will send out the progress report as a
stand-alone document to all jurisdictions.
b. SKHHP Advisory Committee. San Filippo outlined the Advisory Committee as described in
the SKHHP Interlocal Agreement. The SKHHP staff work group will focus on what
representation is needed on the advisory committee based on the work plan, making sure
we have the right expertise, and community representation.
Marshall referenced King County’s strategy to get more specific about hearing from voices
that have been the most impacted by the housing crisis, whether that be low-income,
communities of color, or others, and she would like to hear feedback from the work group
on that as we move forward.
