PUBLIC Mayor Kelleher welcomed Senator Eleanor Lee to COMMUNICATIONS tonight's meeting. (PUBLIC COMMUNICATIONS - ITEM 1A) Nike Manor Housing. Mayor Kelleher explained that this portion of the meeting would be conducted as a committee-of-the-whole meeting and would last from 6: 00 p.m. to 7 : 00 p.m. Jim Hansen introduced representatives Sharon Atkin of the South King County Multi-Service Center, Jerry Perez and Cliff Bartlett of the Highline-West Seattle Mental Health Center, Steven Hansen and Sue Crofut of the Corps of Engineers, and Helen Neill of the St. Stephen Housing Association with Catholic Community Services, and he gave an overview of what has transpired so far. City Attorney Driscoll said there is a letter telling of one option which has not been discussed at prior meetings -- there is a separate federal law which says that when a federal piece of property has been declared surplus, a notice is sent to local governments informing them that they may submit an application to acquire or purchase that piece of property. The letter we received says we have to submit an application within 20 days of the date received which was May 24 . In the initial application the City must set forth the contemplated use of the property and must disclose the length of time it will take to develop and submit a formal application. If Council wants to pursue this, they must submit by June 13 . The Corps looks at other applications pending for use for the homes under the McKinney Act and weighs that against the purpose for which Council would like to 1 June 5, 1990 Nike Manor use the property, and the decision is made by the Housing Corps of Engineers. Sharon Atkin, representing all of the agencies, noted that this is a good opportunity to bring new and increased services to Kent. She indicated that the agencies understand the concern of the residents of the area, and pointed out that the agencies are as concerned about the safety of their clients as the residents are about their families. She noted clients will be screened and that there will be resident managers in the housing, and that any clients who create problems will be asked to leave the program. She noted that she has spoken with the principal of Sunnycrest School, Gay Grieves, and they will work together to determine what, if any, impact the housing would have on Sunnycrest and how it could be mitigated. Atkin stated that there would be approximately 12 children in the emergency housing and 4 in transitional housing. Atkin noted that members of her group had gone door to door in the area to distribute flyers, answer questions, hear concerns, inform people of tonight' s meeting, and leave names and phone numbers of the directors of each of the programs. She said they encountered three families who were angry and felt threatened, but that the majority expressed no concern or supported the idea. She noted that with this program, the community will have access to five agencies which will be available to address their concerns. Dave Lavine of 24906 38th Ave. S . , stated that he hadn't received any flyers. Dave Tervo of 4319 S. 239th Pl . showed syringe caps he had picked up in South Park Housing and stated he did not want a group home or transient housing in this residential area. He recounted the burdens of living with the landfill and suggested that it was time for the burden to be placed elsewhere and suggested the houses could be moved to Bellevue or Redmond. Larry Dome of 24403 35th Ave. S. stated that the Holly Park Housing was a mess and well known to both the police and fire departments. Mrs. Dome stated that the homes would be ideally suited for senior citizens, close to the bus and stores and the young families with children would welcome the seniors. Susan Camacho referred to the millions of dollars 2 June 5, 1990 Nike Manor voted for senior housing and suggested that these Housing homes be used for that purpose. Jean Salz , Director of the South King County Emergency Housing Program, stated that her agency operates 30 apartments in Kent, Renton and Auburn in six different locations. She noted that a complex in Renton is across the street from a senior center and noted only one complaint in 4 years. She noted that these people are good neighbors, that these are regular people trying to get back into the mainstream of society. Stephen Beer of Auburn noted that he was concerned with process, and if populations were to be blended, tight control will be required and that any councilmember with an affiliation with any of these agencies should abstain from voting. He suggested that an advisory committee be formed, to include local residents, to make sure the program is properly run. Patricia Remick said she was concerned about crime and drugs and favored having seniors use the units. Floyd Bacon of 24311 35th Ave. S. , noted that in a January 25 Federal Way paper, a news item told of the proposed availability of these surplused homes. He stated that the citizens of the area found out by chance. Bacon noted that Perez had stated that residents could come and go freely. He concurred with prior speakers that these units would be ideal for seniors and maybe we would not have needed $6, 500, 000 for the bond issue. It was determined that the agencies had filed the application. He stated that when two group homes were proposed for East Hill they were not allowed. Peggy Colson of 32nd Pl . S. stated she received a flyer from school and was concerned about housing people in rehabilitation programs for alcohol, drugs, mental health or the chronically ill . She favored utilization of the units by senior citizens. Joanne MacDaniels said that all should have an opportunity to improve and that the agencies should have experts "on call" at all times. Chris McDean stated that he lived on East Hill and that there were drugs and alcohol users in all neighborhoods. He suggested that the residents could learn from those who were in the rehabilitation programs. Carol Davis, Box 98746, Des Moines, stated that she was connected with the Des Moines Food Bank and that most clients 3 June 5, 1990 Nike Manor were single parents who wanted to do better and be Housing out of this transitory circumstance. She noted that the church helps to sponsor the clients through Atkin's program. She urged the residents to try to get over their fears and to adopt a family. She noted that Des Moines would welcome having some emergency housing as Kent has. Cathy Peters, 13812 SE 240th, stated that she represented 16 churches which were involved in emergency assistance programs. She opined that the problem was the lack of education in the community as to what the programs were attempting to do. She encouraged the residents to support the agencies and their work. Frank Pepper, of 256th P1. , suggested that a formal study be made with research from other communities, including the impact on schools and on police departments, and for the Council to decide how the programs would be monitored. Gene Mann of 35th Ave. S. , concurred with Pepper and asked if the City would be ready to handle the problems. He favored having senior citizens only and pointed out that police did not respond to West Hill very promptly. Howard Schwanke of 4121 S. 239th, stated that since some of the military personnel had moved, the condition of the yards had deteriorated, and asked who would maintain the properties. Susan Peterson of 3629 S. 241st expressed concern about crime and drugs. She noted that Section 8 tenants were very difficult to have evicted, and that no background information was given on such residents. Jon Johnson suggested that the regular meeting should start with the Council scheduling an action item for this subject, if they so desired. Dave Tervo suggested that the houses be moved to the East Hill. Amiel Forshee of 4109 S. 243rd Pl. noted that a park would be built on the landfill and that he didn't want anyone from the criminal justice system to be located in the area of the park. Harris confirmed for Bacon that the Planning Commission would meet again on June 25 at 7 : 30 p.m. in the Council chambers. Nola Roe of 3505 S . 256th was told that this would not be "no refusal" funding. Mrs. Dome stated that the law would not allow for certain classes of people to be excluded, although she was turned away when she was in need. Perez explained that proposed residents are screened 4 June 5, 1990 Nike Manor background checks of medical records. Rules are Housing explained and the agency can exclude persons who would not fit into the program. He noted that the agency considered the stability of the person and ability to live with other people. Tervo noted that Perez did not mention behavior. At this time, 7 : 45 p.m. , the regular meeting convened with the presentation of the colors by Cub Scouts, the Mayor noted that the first item would be continuation of the Nike Manor Housing discussion. White read Resolution No. 1246 , directing City staff to research and report to the City Council on the feasibility of the City acquiring Nike Manor for the purpose of providing senior housing in addition to that authorized by the bond issue and MOVED for its adoption. Johnson seconded. White then amended the resolution to read "City staff is directed to submit an application to the Army Corps of Engineers for the purchase of Nike Manor for the purpose of providing senior housing in addition to that authorized by the bond issue. " Driscoll noted for Dowell that the application for proposal for purchase of the property can be for any public purpose, not only for housing the homeless. She also noted for Dowell that if the social service agencies controlled the site, they would be leasing the property. Upon Houser' s suggestion, and approval by White and Johnson, the words "prior to June 13" were added to the motion. The City Attorney noted for Orr that she would look into whether the City would need to activate a public housing authority in order to own and operate housing. Cathleen Kennelly asked whether the City would be obligated for five years, and questioned the different classes mentioned in the group housing study. The Mayor clarified that the group housing study is a separate issue and that no group homes are contemplated under any proposals for Nike Housing. He noted that group homes have six or more people living in them. White noted for Kennelly that if the City purchases the property, it would be used for senior housing indefinitely, with no five 5 June 5, 1990 Nike Manor year limit. The Mayor noted for her that housing Housing for elderly is defined as both parties being over 62 years of age, and meeting certain income requirements. Mayor Kelleher said that since the City has no ordinances differentiating between Class 1, 2, and 3 , if a group home were located in Kent there would be no classifications. Mann stated that the Council has a responsibility to the homeless and mentally ill in the community. Orr said she shares Mann's concern for the homeless and urged the citizens to work with the social service agencies if the City's application is turned down. Mrs. Dome said the citizens would be willing to work with the City, but that it must be safe for the neighborhood. Cathy Pepper asked why the City is proposing to purchase rather than lease, and asked if a purchase option would be available to the other agencies. The Attorney explained that the property is made available for purchase to public agencies, such as governments, and that leases fall under the McKinney Act. Driscoll explained that the City can submit an application to purchase the property, but that it will be weighed against other agencies who will house the homeless, and that housing the homeless carries great weight and that the Federal Government will make the final decision. White pledged to do everything possible to purchase the property, but noted that it may fail, and urged the agencies involved to address the concerns of the citizens. Peggy Paulson asked about the possibility of circulating a petition regarding the citizens rights and safety, and gave her phone number as 946-4793 . Dowell noted for Kennelly that the book she referred to regarding different classes is a different process and that she may want to get involved in that process. Dowell pointed out that agencies involved knew in March that they would be collaborating on this project, and that letters from the Army Corps of Engineers were finally sent to the City on May 24 . He pointed out that none of the councilmembers were aware of this issue at the May 1 meeting. Dowell stated that they were told at the May 1 meeting that it was too late for any input, but that now it is possible to apply to purchase the 6 June 5, 1990 Nike Manor property and that the City should take this Housing opportunity. He also pointed out that it may not be successful . He urged the public to write letters, circulate petitions, and show their concern which may have an affect on the outcome. Dowell explained for Mrs. Dome that the Council directs Administration action. She stated that the Mayor is on the Housing Committee and knew about this plan a year ago. Dome said the people should have the ability to do something about their environment. Bacon said he had written to his legislators and received responses from them and thanked White and Dowell for their support. Lavine asked whether the City could continue to try to purchase the property if the agencies received a 5-year lease from the Corps. Steve Hansen of the Corps of Engineers, noted that they are required to lease the property for a minimum of one year. He noted that it would be possible for the City to acquire the property at the end of the process, and that it would be through the General Services Administration rather than through the Corps of Engineers. White noted for Lavine that it is his intention that the City continue to try to acquire the property. Johnson agreed and the Mayor clarified that the Council 's intention is to add to the motion to continue to attempt to acquire the property even if the initial attempt at acquisition is not successful. Mann pointed out that homeless people are not criminals, and that the issue of housing the homeless needs to be addressed in the near future. Houser agreed with Mann but noted that West Hill has had enough burdens already. Gene Mann stated that the community would be sympathetic to the homeless only if they are controlled and the neighborhood is protected and Larry Dome agreed. Patricia Remick thanked the Mayor and Council for the opportunity for the community to voice their opinions. Regarding notification to the residents, Jim Hansen explained that a sign-up sheet had been passed around at the May 1 Council meeting and that a mailing list had been compiled from that, along with names of interested people who called after the 7 June 5, 1990 Nike Manor meeting. He said that there had also been press Housing coverage. He asked that people who wish to be notified in the future print their names on another sheet. Upon a question from someone in the audience, Hansen noted that because this is a federal application, it was not in the normal process where people would be automatically notified. He said they would notify people within a certain radius; he noted that renters would not be notified because the property would be listed under the owner' s name. He noted for White that notification could be sent with utility bills but that it would be dependent upon the frequency of the bills. The Mayor pointed out that it is expensive to mail out thick packages to thousands of people, and that when funds are needed for postage, Hansen should request them. The motion to pass Resolution No. 1245 then carried unanimously as follows: The City staff is directed to submit an application to the Army Corps of Engineers prior to June 13 , 1990 for the purchase of Nike Manor for the purpose of providing senior housing in addition to that authorized by the bond issue and to continue to attempt to acquire the property if the initial attempt is not successful. � I The Mayor pointed out that many suggestions had been made, and Hansen went through the list as follows: * Senior Housing, * Citizens ' Advisory Committee, Move dwellings to an unburdened site, * Use senior housing bond dollars for purchase/development of Nike Manor, * Make available for single parent housing, * Churches and organizations adopt homeless families, * Facility provide resident treatment services, * Use surplus senior housing dollars for homeless, * Social service agencies need to do more educating, * Conduct an impact study **, * Monitor activities over time, * Structured approach, ** Schools, police, social services, * Determine process/schedule, * Move the units to the east hill, * The facility should be closer to commercial and other services. JOHNSON MOVED that the suggestions be referred to the Task Force on Subsidized Housing and that these 8 June 5, 1990 Nike Manor suggestions be incorporated in their findings and Housing recommendations to the Council. Mann seconded. Upon Dowell ' s question, Satterstrom noted that this committee is the Mayor' s Committee on Assisted Housing, which is one of the committees that was appointed about a year ago to look at ways in which the City can help to subsidize or create opportunities for assisted housing. He noted that the committee has not been meeting since the senior housing bond issue has been passed. Johnson agreed j that the suggestions could be referred to the senior housing committee since the Committee on Assisted Housing is no longer meeting. Ted Smith, 3911 S. 242nd, voiced concern about the safety of his children. He suggested that if the agencies acquire the property, that there be one group who will be accountable, that citizens can go to, who will monitor and have power to enforce rules. Mayor Kelleher expressed his desire that the agencies making application be represented on the senior housing committee. He also suggested that the citizens form a neighborhood advisory committee since they are not represented on that committee, and further that this could be referred to the Planning Commission or some other body so that the process is fair. Jon Johnson asked whether the Mayor could appoint citizens to the committee, and noted that he is not opposed to referring this to the Planning Commission. Orr noted that she serves on the senior housing committee and that most of the committee's work has been completed. She noted that this may not be the best committee to send the suggestions to. JOHNSON CHANGED HIS MOTION TO MOVE THAT at the Mayor's suggestion, a neighborhood advisory committee be composed consisting of interested residents. Mann concurred. Dowell said that is an excellent suggestion and complimented the Mayor on bringing it up, since there would be some conflict of interest on the senior committee. The Mayor said that it would help to get timely information to the people who attend the meetings. The Mayor clarified that the motion Y is to establish a neighborhood advisory committee composed of any resident who wants to participate. The Mayor asked Hansen to circulate a sign-up sheet after the meeting for people who wish to be on the 9 June 5, 1990 Nike Manor committee. Floyd Bacon said the committee is not Housing necessary, that people can attend Council meetings. The motion to establish a committee then carried. The Mayor pointed out that the suggestions made by the citizens tonight will be forwarded to the committee. He also asked that notice of this committee be publicized in upcoming printed material, so that people may become involved. i Upon Mann's request, Police Chief Frederiksen noted that the average response time on West Hill is approximately 5 minutes, and that there has been a 36% increase in calls for service in 1989, due to growth in the area. He said he would check into the claim of a 20-minute response time to a shooting mentioned by Nola Roe. Ms. Jenkins, 24401 35th Ave. S . , asked for the address of the Federal Government so that she can express her desire that the City acquire the property. Upon a question from Frank Pepper, Steve Hansen of the Corps of Engineers, explained that there is a limited time of obligation to provide housing under the McKinney Act and after that time it can be sold. He said that the property is currently being screened for potential uses. Hansen said if the City is not selected to acquire the property, there could be other potential opportunities to acquire it. He said if the property is found suitable for use by an agency, it will be leased for a 1 - 5 year term, and if a decision is made to surplus the property after that time, it would go through the screening process again and be made available to state and local governments. Pepper asked if the Council could control the use of the property, and the City Attorney stated that as long as it remains under the control of the Federal Government the City has no legal ability to control that. 'The Mayor noted that the Federal Government is exempt from local zoning laws. Upon a question from Peggy Paulson, the Mayor ordered that the minutes of tonight ' s meeting be forwarded to the Federal Government. Upon a j question from the audience, Hansen was directed by the Mayor to determine how many applications have been turned in to HHS, and to distribute that information. He also noted that the residents will 10 i i June 5, 1990 Nike Manor be notified of the outcome by mail, and that there Housing could be another meeting at Sunnycrest. Hansen announced the address of the Corps of Engineers for people who are interested in writing to them: Army Corps of Engineers Real Estate Division Box C - 3755 Seattle, Washington 98124 Sharon Atkin noted for Frank Pepper that each agency is a non-profit type of agency, and that control would be through funding sources.
