presented, Joseph Cimaomo seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously (8-0).
III. OLD BUSINESS
a. Resolution 2020-02: 2020-2021 Work Plan. Backus introduced the work plan
amendments made in response to jurisdiction review, edits are shown in red strike-
through and underline in the board packet. Angela San Filippo described the edits to
the work plan to integrate racial equity into the actions already identified in the work
plan and include assistance and support for tenant protections and anti-
displacement policies. After Board approval of Resolution 2020 -02, the work plan will
be taken to each partner jurisdiction for adoption.
Santos-Johnson asked about Section 2 of the resolution and provided a
recommendation to edit the section to reflect language from the Interlocal agreement
regarding the work plan taking effect upon approval by each participating jurisdiction.
Sunaree Marshall commented on the Advisory Board and encouraged thought into
how the Board will prioritize their voices in the process, examples include setting
Board agendas and developing future work plans.
b. Resolution 2020-04: SKHHP 2021 Budget. San Filippo reviewed the budget that
reflects the Program Coordinator position at 30 hours per week with benefits,
ATTACHMENT A
Page 2 of 12
jurisdiction contributions remain stable through 2022, and includes partner
jurisdiction contributions made once annually.
Santos-Johnson recommended the same edits made in Section 2 of the previous
resolution to include language from the Interlocal Agreement that the budget takes
effect upon adoption upon approval by each participating jurisdiction.
Santos-Johnson made a motion to adopt Resolution 2020-02 as amended, Marshall
seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. (8-0)
Santos-Johnson made a motion to adopt Resolution 2020-04 as amended, Brian
Davis seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. (8-0)
c. SKHHP Program Coordinator San Filippo provided an overview of the position
description. The staff work group and Auburn Human Resource staff reviewed the
final draft position description. She asked for SKHHP Executive Board approval of
the position description and supplemental questions in order to begin recruitment
and posting of the position in August with a target h ire date of October 1.
Cimaomo made a motion to approve the position description and related materials,
Mark Hoppen seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. (8 -0)
d. SKHHP Advisory Board. San Filippo provided an overview of the outreach
proposal, including the purpose, outreach questions, and outreach list. She asked
the Board for input on the proposal. She wants to make sure the Board agrees on
the path forward and agree to reach out to the community with regard to how the
Advisory Board is formed.
Marshall said King County’s experience with community based organizations
indicates that compensation will probably come up and what the value proposition is
for participants. She also wants to make sure we articulate the power and influence
of the Advisory Board and the Executive Board and staff are on the same page.
Santos-Johnson said the staff work group had a conversation on compensation and
depending on the results of the outreach they may come back with a
recommendation to the Board. He also flagged the 4-year commitment and the
possibility that questions will come up about that.
San Filippo said she will move forward with the outreach proposal with the intention
that the input received will inform a recommendation to the Executive Board on the
overall structure and representation on the Advisory Board.
e. Statewide Eviction Moratorium. Backus provided an update on the City of
Auburn’s just cause eviction ordinance, which includes a temporary COVID-19
section, and next steps for Council consideration of the ordinance. She said the
ordinance was modeled from the City of Burien rental policies passed last year.
Hannah Bahnmiller provide an update on the City of Renton. Bahnmiller said they
are very early in the staff process and are using Auburn’s and Burien’s legislation to
inform what the proposal might look like in Renton. They are also considering
ATTACHMENT A
Page 3 of 12
temporary provisions related to COVID-19, and a requirement for landlords to offer a
repayment plan before beginning eviction proceedings. City leadership will r eview
the proposed legislation with intention to move forward before the eviction
moratorium ends.
Marshall said King County passed legislation about 6 weeks ago allowing for COVID
eviction defense and allowing payment plans, it did not include a just cause eviction
clause. In addition, King County allocated coronavirus relief funds for rental
assistance, they expect more information from Commerce next week and will work
quickly to design a program based on that information.
Brian Wilson said Burien was looking at ways they could bolster their rental housing
ordinance and add protections if they extension to the moratorium did not happen.
Burien is concerned about legal liability and potential to interfere in the contract
between landlords and renters. They are encouraged by the governor’s actions to
set up a work group.
San Filippo provided a brief update on the extension of the statewide eviction
moratorium including the convening of a workgroup of landlords and tenants to
inform potential short and long term changes to the moratorium. San Filippo asked
about the work group and whether or not local government should have
representation on that work group. Backus thought it would be beneficial for cities
and counties to better understand the issues on both sides and ensure they are not
overstepping while also accommodating as much as they can.
San Filippo said WLIHA is advocating for an extension of the eviction moratorium
through March 2021 to enable Congress to develop comprehensive strategy and
provide more certainty for tenants. She asked if SKHHP had interest in advocating
for a longer extension of the eviction moratorium.
Marshall said the Affordable Housing Committee (AHC) issued a letter advocating
for extension of the moratorium through March 2021. Senator Orwall said there is a
lot of work being done at the state level and she hopes she can be an advocate. She
expressed interest in advocating for equitable distribution of rental assistance funds.
Backus expressed gratitude for Senator Orwall’s work in South King County.
Santos-Johnson said he would like the extension to be based on housing stability
and correlate with recovery. Backus asked about sending a letter from the SKHHP
Executive Board. Marshall said King County asked for an extension and t he more
certainty of the timeframe the easier it is to establish and design programs. San
Filippo said she will draft a letter thanking the governor for his thoughtful approach in
continuing to extend the eviction moratorium and the formation of the work group,
and recommend establishing an eviction prevention strategy based on housing
stability and recovery rather than setting an arbitrary expiration date of the eviction
moratorium.
IV. EDUCATIONAL ITEM
ATTACHMENT A
Page 4 of 12
Key affordable housing financing concepts and revenue tools. Backus introduced
Jackie Moynahan from King County. San Filippo provided an introduction and overview
of the presentation. She said some of this will be a review of the principles introduced
by Brian Lloyd, with a different perspective that may help to reinforce some of the
complexities of housing finance. King County intends to provide information on
affordable housing finance and revenue generating tools and ask for feedback for the
AHC as they develop shared principles and inform the pursuit of reven ue to meet the
need for affordable housing. Great opportunity for SKHHP to be part of that process and
provide input into AHC’s process.
McCaela Daffern described the AHC’s work plan for developing shared principles and
raising revenue to meet the affordable housing needs in King County. The AHC is
tasked with implementing the Regional Affordable Housing Task Force 5-Year Plan to
build 44,000 affordable housing units over the next 5 years.
Presentation included an overview of the level of government support necessary to
meet the housing need at different income levels, why affordable housing development
requires so many different funding sources and subsidy programs, a typical affordable
housing development timeline, and key challenges identified by the Hou sing
Interjurisdictional Team (HIJT).
McCaela and Jackie concluded the presentation by asking the Board what the most
important considerations are in their communities that the AHC should consider when
developing shared principles related to future revenue actions and how they would
incorporate equity and social justice into the shared principles.
Feedback from the Board included the challenge in South King County communities to
support large mega developments. Recommendation to better articulate the differ ing
needs across King County in the presentation (for example the greater homelessness
need in Seattle versus other areas of the County). Recommendation to separate
homeownership from rental households. Encourage the County to prioritize very low -
income households (0-30% AMI) that are not experiencing homelessness. Comment
that currently there is not equitable distribution of resources across the County and the
priorities should be looked at differently in order to facilitate more equitable distribution.
Discussion on the impact of school impact fees and the additional cost to development
in South King County cities. County response that impact fees are acknowledged but
were not prioritized in the work plan.
V. EXECUTIVE SESSION. Executive Session to discuss annual evaluation process for
SKHHP Executive Manager.
VI. NEXT MEETING – August 28, 2020
