Report from Administering Agency SKHHP Program Manager hiring process: Since the last SKHHP Meeting in September, the Staff Working Group completed an interview with another candidate on October 7, 2019. There was also a second interview with the same candidate that occurred on October 16, 2019 with Vice Chair Wilson, Brian Davis, and Colleen Brandt-Schluter. On October 22, 2019, a third interview with Chair Backus and Jeff Tate occurred with the same candidate. As the meeting continues, more information and discussion will take place. Invoicing Members: Q3 and Q 4 invoices have been sent out with a few payments that have already been processed. HR Policy Development: At the September Board meeting, there was discussion of a SKHHP and Auburn Operational Policy. With feedback from the Board, there has been a revised policy introduced in the current packet with strike-through and underlines to reflect what the Executive Board feedback was. There being no additional feedback from the Board, the Operational Policy will go into effect. C. Follow Up From 9/27/19 Presentation by HDC At the September SKHHP Meeting, Patience Malaba from HDC provided a presentation to the Board regarding Healthy Housing and South King County. One of the items requested from Patience was a matrix that could highlight regulations and policies within the 9 cities of the SKHHP membership to help understand housing tools being used within each community. This will help better inform the Board regarding the policy landscape and to learn from each other. The hope is at future board meetings each member city will have a platform to talk about their programs and what has and has not worked. Patience sent a follow up handout, which included 5 categories of tools. Each member city is encouraged to look over the handout and add items that the city has in place. Future discussions will take place. D. Monthly Education Item: Burien's Recently Enacted Rental Housing Rules After Fox Cove property was sold to a new owner, families in the 36-unit complex were served with eviction notices to vacate. Many of the Fox Cove tenants were on a fixed income. With all the repairs needed and a long waiting list to get those issues resolved, the tenants could not afford anywhere else to live. This is an example of a trend across South King County, where once affordable rental units, especially those close to Seattle, are going away. Developers revamp old apartments in these outlying cities. With that process, they are pushing out residents who have lived there for years. Burien city officials first learned of the sale and previous problems at Page 2 Fox Cove in the fall of 2018, when a group of residents showed up at a council meeting. With the assistance from the City of Burien and church organizations, many families have since been able to find new homes. A timetable of how the City of Burien enacted rental-housing rules: In January of 2019, City of Burien Council had consensus to move forward with a suite of protections drafted by staff members. In February/March of 2019 city staff holds three meetings; two with tenants and one with landlords. In spring of 2019, State legislative session ends — ESSB 5600 requires 14 days for unlawful detainer (it was 3) and ESHB 1440 requires 60 days' written notice any rent increase. June 2019 Community conversation on a suite of protections minus the protections adopted by the State in April of 2019. Key reasons why the adoption of the housing policies: 156,000 new units to meet housing needs By 2040 244,000 units will be needed. 5-year action to preservice access to affordable homes for renters by supporting tenant protections to increase housing stability and reduce risk of homelessness. The Rental Housing Policy and Rental Housing Inspection Program (RHIP) is now enacted into the City of Burien. The purpose of the policies are to establish regulations supporting the topic of increasing housing security, and to establish standards and enforcement mechanisms as they relate to rental housing within the City limits of Burien. The Rental Housing Inspection Program (RHIP)will protect the public health, safety, and welfare of tenants by encouraging the proper maintenance of rental housing by identifying and requiring correction of substandard housing conditions. E. HB 1923 Collaboration between Renton, Federal Way, Kent, Burien, Auburn and Tukwila City of Kent Long Range Planning Manager Hayley Bonsteel gave an overview of HB 1923 and the concept around it. The 2019 Washington State Legislature enacted HB 1923, which created a grant opportunity made available to cities in Washington State for the purposes of encouraging an increase in urban residential building capacity. The Department of Commerce is overseeing the administration of the grant program, which allows cities with a population of over 20,000 to apply for grants of up to $100,000. The deadline for the submittals was September 30, 2019. Six SKHHP member cities (Auburn, Burien, Federal Way, Kent, Renton and Tukwila) have each submitted a grant application with a request of$100,000 for each city. The grant applications would utilize funding in the following way: 1.Each City would contribute approximately $15,000 to $20,000 to a collective pool of money that would total $90,000 to $120,000. This pooled money would be used for the purpose of developing a comprehensive assessment of the housing stock in South King County, including growth, type, associated demographics and income/affordability. Exact scope of work will determine dollar amount. 2. Each City would retain approximately $80,000 to $85000 to utilize for housing policy development within its own boundaries. The SKHHP Executive Board request: grant general support for an approach that would allow SKHHP and its Administering Agency to be the holder and the manager of the pooled funds totaling no more than approximately $120,000 and that Page 3 authorizes the City of Kent to manage the grant and any consultant contracts associated with the use of these funds. F. HB 1406 HB 1406 Resolution will remain on the Agenda for the next few meetings as updates take place. The Resolution was updated from the last meeting to capture Mayor Ralph's feedback regarding Section 5 of the Resolution. Those updates are in the current packet to reflect the changes. Last discussion, everyone went around the room and stated where they were at in regards to HB 1406. The Board was not comfortable with taking a position on a resolution until that conversation was more mature within each municipality. Each member city stated where they were in the discussions on HB 1406, with majority of the jurisdictions passing or being close to passing. IV.

ILA Reference to Member Roles and Responsibilities Page 4, Section 4.b—"In order to carry out the purposes of SKHHP and this Agreement, the Executive Board will have the responsibility and authority to provide recommendations to the Parties regarding the allocation of public and private funding for affordable housing purposes." ILA Reference to Authority of Each Party Page 20, Section 29—"Retained Responsibility and Authority. Parties retain the responsibility and authority for managing and maintaining their own internal systems and programs related to affordable housing activities." What Resolution 2019-06 Does Provides a SKHHP recommendation to each member's legislative body to pool HB 1406 funds. Bases this recommendation on the ILA that each member's legislative body has already adopted, which states that member's agree that pooling funds is a preferred approach. It recommends that the full allocation of HB 1406 funds be committed to SKHHP. If funds are pooled, ensures that funds will be used in a manner that aligns with both the SKHHP work plan and the recommendations of the Regional Affordable Housing Task Force Five Year Action Plan. If funds are pooled, and those funds are used to support capital project, the resolution ensures that members have a larger voice for projects that are proposed within their own community. What Resolution 2019-06 Does Not Do Usurp each member's legislative authority to choose to agree with the recommendation or not. It does not actually pool any funds. Funds cannot be pooled unless and until a city(or county) legislative body takes a formal action to authorize pooling. It is not a binding document. It is a recommendation for each legislative body to consider.
