Harrison House Report - King County Housing Authority (K.C.H.A.)
Judy Jones of the K.C.H.A. distributed to the Committee a report of Harrison House residents/applicants. She noted that
currently there are 46 City residents, 18 from unincorporated King County, and 30 from other areas. She noted the list
also outlines current applicants. Ms. Jones informed the Committee that the Housing Authority is currently working on
filling the subsidy program units and is working with one resident that was previously denied. She noted that potential
residents for this program have a concern with how long funding will last and what will happen if they are left without
funding once in Harrison House. Jones stated that the second unit is filled with a current resident who no longer has
funds from savings for rent. She added three other tenants have asked to be on the waiting list for the subsidy program.
Ms. Jones noted that no rent increases or food service increases are currently planned. When asked for questions
Chairperson Johnson asked if the projections have been in line for expenses. Ms. Jones responded that some had been
high and others low which evened out.
February Financial Report
Finance Manager Miller reviewed with the Committee the February Financial Report distributed with the agenda.
Miller noted that under capital projects, water and sewer appear high due to the nine million dollars reserved for the
Tacoma Intertie. On page four Miller pointed out that the high and low on the general fund revenue is reflective of
when property tax is collected noting that currently the 4 2% gain is due to unsettled contracts and vacancies. On page
nine Miller noted the growth in retail and services through December with Target and Starbucks reporting the highest
sales. The budget forecast an page 19 reflects a prediction of ending the year $151,000 over the predicted budget.
Miller cautioned that this is a minor amount in a $1.3 million budget this early in the year.
Resolution Establishing Permit & Plan Review Fees
City Attorney Lubovich stated that a basic plan review fee had been established a few months ago for residential single
family homes. He stated that some clarification of the process for basic plans is needed Other permit fees will remain
the same The proposed resolution would establish the basic plan fee at $50 per permit issued from the approved basic
plan with an hourly rate for any changes made. Lubovich added that the developer and architect must both sign off on
the basic plan. The above would only apply to single family residences and only upon written request with reproducible
plans provided. Lubovich noted that this resolution would clearly define and establish the application process.
Building Official Hutchinson noted that the concept can only be applied to single family due to logistics of the code
requirement which vary on size, use, etc. The basic plan review process would only apply to single family units; one on
a single parcel.
Committeemember Orr moved to accept the recommended resolution and recommend approval to the Council. Johnson
seconded and the motion passed 2-0.
