A RESOLUTION OF THE EXECUTIVE BOARD OF THE
SOUTH KING COUNTY HOUSING AND HOMELESSNESS
PARTNERS URGING SKHHP MEMBER CITIES TO
SUPPORT POOLING OF HB 1406 FUNDS.
WHEREAS, in 2019 the cities of Auburn, Burien, Covington, Des Moines, Federal
Way, Kent, Normandy Park, Renton, and Tukwila and King County entered into an
Interlocal Agreement (ILA) that formed the South King Housing and Homelessness
Partners (SKHHP); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the ILA, the member cities have a common goal to ensure
availability of housing that meets the needs of all income levels in South King County;
and
WHEREAS, also pursuant to the ILA, the member cities wish to act cooperatively
to formulate housing policies and strategies that address housing stability, to foster efforts
to preserve and provide affordable housing by combining public funding with private-
sector resources, to support implementation of the Washington State GMA, related
countywide planning policies, and other local policies and program relating to affordable
housing, and to do so efficiently and expeditiously; and
WHEREAS, also pursuant to the ILA, the member cities have determined that the
most efficient and expeditious way for the parties to address affordable housing needs in
South King County is through cooperative action and pooling of public and private
resources; and

WHEREAS, the ILA states that the parties intend that the ILA serves as a
framework for all participating municipalities within the broader SKHHP Sphere of
Influence to do the aforementioned work; and
WHEREAS, on July 26, 2019 the SKHHP Executive Board adopted Resolution
2019-05 which urges member cities to declare their intent to enact the provisions of HB
1406; and
WHEREAS, Resolution 2019-05 states that the Executive Board commits to
developing options and a recommendation, including for the proposed pooling of funding,
that details funding commitments for each member city's legislative authority to consider
for future subsequent action; and
WHEREAS, HB 1406 is a powerful and meaningful funding source to further
advance the efforts of the housing objectives established through the ILA that, if pooled,
will generate approximately $1,000,000 per year for the eligible 20 year period (See
Attachment A); and
WHEREAS, the Executive Board adopts the recommendations contained within
this resolution as a unified statement of support by SKHHP member cities.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE EXECUTIVE BOARD RESOLVES as follows:
Section 1. The Executive Board of SKHHP urges all member cities to pool the
base sales tax credit revenues collected under HB 1406 and to allocate the full amount
of those revenues to SKHHP.
Section 2. In order to maximize HB 1406 funding within King County, the
Executive Board of SKHHP urges all member cities to take Ordinance action on HB 1406
after King County takes action.

Section 3. The Executive Board of SKHHP urges King County to award HB
1406 funds to housing development based in the Urban Growth Areas (UGA) of SKHHP
member cities in a manner that proportionately represents the cumulative population of
the UGA's of SKHHP member cities.
Section 4. The Executive Board of SKHHP commits to aligning the use of HB
1406 funds with the work plan required within the adopted ILA and the recommendation
and priorities of the Regional Affordable Housing Task Force Five Year Action Plan.
Section 5. Individual municipalities have unique housing needs and priorities
and not every project proposal will align with a city's goals, policies, or laws. The intent
and effect of this resolution is not to usurp a city's individual authority. Therefore, if funds
are pooled for the purpose of aiding in the creation or preservation of housing, the process
for project consideration must allow the city in which the project is proposed to first
approve or reject the proposal prior to the Executive Board's commitment of funds to the
project.
Section 6. This Resolution will take effect and be in full force on passage and
signature.
