RE: SKHHP to act as fiscal agent for Sub -Regional Housing Needs Assessment
PURPOSE: To authorize the City of Auburn, as the fiscal agent for SKHHP, to act as the fiscal
agent for a Sub -regional Housing Needs Assessment funded by grants awarded by the
Washington State Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The six cities of Auburn, Burien, Federal Way, Kent, Tukwila, and Renton
(participating cities) have each received grant funding from the Washington State Department
of Commerce for a Regional Housing Action Plan under Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill
(E2SHB) 1923. The cities have agreed to pool some of their grant funds to jointly fund a Sub -
regional Housing Needs Assessment ("Joint Project"). Each city has agreed to allocate $20,000
of their grant award to the Joint Project, for a total amount not to exceed $120,000. This Joint
Project furthers the objective of the South King Housing and Homelessness Partnership (SKHHP)
Interlocal Agreement (ILA), and will be handled as a project under the SKKHP ILA.
SKHHP authorizes the City of Kent to issue and manage a contract on behalf of the participating
cities for the Joint Project. The City of Auburn, as the fiscal agent for SKHHP, shall act as the
fiscal agent for the Joint Project.
Consultant invoices will be submitted no more frequently than monthly with a copy to the City
of Kent for administrative approval, and a copy to the City of Auburn for payment. Invoices shall
be made out to the City of Auburn for billing purposes. After receiving Kent's approval, the City
of Auburn will invoice each of the participating cities in equal amounts for their 1/6th share of
the Consultant's invoices, not to exceed $20,000 per city. Each participating city shall
individually seek reimbursement from the Washington State Department of Commerce per
each city's grant contract. The Joint Project is anticipated to be completed by July 31, 2020.
