IV. OLD BUSINESS
a. HB 1406
i. City updates on HB 1406. Angela provided an overview of Cities enacting HB 1406 legislation and
resolutions to pool funding. She said Tukwila made an interim decision to allocate 90% toward a
City rental assistance program and 10% pooled with SKHHP. Covington is scheduled for Council
discussion on Tuesday, April 28 and City of Renton Committee of the Whole will discuss on
Monday, April 27.
Thomas McLeod said Tukwila can use funds for rental assistance and they already have program in
place. To date they have turned away 219 households. Tukwila started the year thinking 30% of
funds might go toward the City’s rental assistance program, and 70% pooled with SKHHP. As
pandemic broke out they wanted to address the immediate need. This is an interim decision and
the City will revisit the decision in 30 days, their intention is to make greater contribution to SKHHP
but the immediate needs are overwhelming.
Joseph Ciamomo said Covington will be discussing the allocation of HB 1406 funds on Tuesday,
April 28. To date, they have collected about $3,500 and they have a few options they are looking at.
One option is pooling all of the funds to SKHHP.

Santos-Johnson said Renton has not passed the enacting ordinance, City was waiting on a state
legislative bill that would allow jurisdictions more time to pass a qualifying local tax. The legislation
was passed but vetoed by the Governor because of financial concerns in light of COVID-19. Staff
expects direction from Council Committee of the Whole on Monday, April 27.
Further discussion regarding the current challenges with so many community members in need . All
want to be doing what is best for communities. Luisa indicated Des Moines will be looking at
options the third week in May.
Discussion regarding CARES Act rental assistance funds. King County indicated they are still in the
process of collecting information from various parties about various needs that include rental
assistance and small business assistance.
ii. 2020-2021 Work Plan
San Filippo reviewed the work plan, described how the plan evolved into a two -year work plan but
subsequent work plans will be developed annually. The work plan also includes a short paragraph
on the impacts of COVID-19. Staff work group recommended that all jurisdictions have an
opportunity to provide feedback on the work plan prior to SKHHP Executive Board adoption. This
would require the SKHHP Board to postpone the work plan to the June meeting. City of Auburn
legal department reviewed and indicated that without an amendment to the ILA this would be a
risk but if all jurisdictions are in agreement the risk is low.
Sunaree indicated that a later adoption for King County would work due to emergency responses.
She also indicated she would like to see a little more work done with the work group to make sure
the work plan is right-sized to reflect the current staff capacity.
General agreement to push back Board adoption of the Work Plan.
iii. Draft 2021 and 2022 Budget and SKHHP position descriptions
Angela explained that the budget is provided through 2022 for jurisdictions that plan on a two
year cycle. SKHHP will adopt an annual budget, the second year is provided as a projection. She
provided an overview of the 3 budget scenarios based on personnel options that include:
Executive Manager only, second position as Office Assistant, and second position as Program
Coordinator. Each budget scenario includes the projected contributions from each jurisdiction.
Discussion clarifying some of the assumptions in the three budget scenarios. Santos-Johnson
indicated he would rather see a Program Coordinator hired later to take advantage of the cost
savings, hard to tell when hiring would take place but could plan timing based on budget to keep
revenue contributions stable. Mayor Ralph indicated Kent will not be able to go much more
beyond a $40,000/year commitment. Backus said most cities are in similar positions. McLeod said
it is hard to know what they commit to, he does not see the second po sition in either scenario
being something that would be sustainable.
Additional discussion regarding hiring somewhat flexible/variable position and demonstrating the
value of SKHHP. Santos-Johnson would like to see hiring of a Program Coordinator in a way that
maximizes the budget that we have with contributions remaining stable so that SKHHP has the
greatest likelihood of success. Sunaree said cities could look at it as additional capacity for each of
the jurisdictions and decentralizing some of the wor k because the needs will be regional. McLeod

Majority agreement to get more input from Auburn’s Human Resource department to pursue a
creative/flexible solution to hiring a Program Coordinator that maximizes the existing budget
contributions while keep individual contributions stable through 2022.
V. NEW BUSINESS
a. Quarterly budget reports – Q4 2019
Angela reviewed the budget and progress report for 2019. General agreement from Board members that the
report contains all the information they need and expect. Angela said the 2020 quarter 1 report will be
presented to the Board at the May meeting.
b. Communication Plan
Angela provided an overview of the development of the SKHHP Communication Plan and revisited the key
messages. Chair Backus provided a brief update on South Sound Housing Affordability Project (SSHAP) in
Pierce County. Further discussion on additions and edits to Communication Plan. Agreement that Co-Chairs
are primary representatives, but others represent jurisdictions as well SKHHP as necessary and appropriate.
Santos-Johnson and Marshall have suggested edits they will email to Angela.
c. Operational Planning Discussion
Angela went through the responses received on the operational planning discussion questions. She stated this
intended to be more of an open conversation but it is helpful as she develops the work plan and implements
action items throughout the year. If Board members have additional input they should send them to Angela .
Questions will be revisited as necessary.
VI. NEXT MEETING
May 22, 2020 – Originally scheduled for Des Moines but will be determined based on coronavirus guidance
and potential to hold the meeting virtually.
VII. ADJOURN
Mayor Backus adjourned the meeting at 2:45 pm.
