Ms.Marshall explained that as part of the funding recommendations, a
contingency plan must also be adopted. Should there be an increase in CDBG
public services funding,the Human Services Advisory Committee
recommended that any increase in funding be allocated as follows:
1. DAWN Shelter Program(currently$9,000)be increased by an additional
$6,000. The total amount of the award shall not exceed$15,000.
2. Community Health Center of King County Dental (currently$13,500)be
increased by the amount available up to a maximum total award of$23,500.
3. If any funds remain,the amount should be divided equally among
Communities in Schools of Renton, ElderHealth Northwest/Connection,the
Emergency Feeding Program, and Visiting Nurse Services of NW
(healthcare assessments).
In the case of a decrease in CDBG public services funding,Ms. Marshall said
the decrease will be applied proportionately based on the project's percentage
of the total CDBG public services allocation.
In conclusion,Ms.Marshall stated that if there is an increase in the CDBG
capital funding, the Human Services Advisory Committee recommended there
be no change in the funding recommendations. If there should be a decrease,
the recommendation is to apply the decrease proportionately based upon the
project's percentage of the total CDBG capital funds allocated. The Human
Services Advisory Committee acknowledged that the City meets criteria set
forth in Section IV of the 2000-2002 Interlocal Cooperation Agreement(ICA)
for the King County CDBG Consortium, and recommended allocation of the
maximum amount of increased funds allowable to plan and administer the
City's CDBG projects in accordance with the CDBG ICA.
Responding to Mayor Tanner's inquiry about the City receiving the funds
directly instead of having them pass through King County, Ms. Marshall stated
that the City is eligible to become a direct entitlement City in 2003.
Responding to Councilwoman Keolker-Wheeler's question regarding the
stability of DAWN, Ms.Marshall replied that currently the shelter program is a
very strong and stable part of DAWN, and she pointed out that it is the only
shelter program for victims of domestic violence in South King County.

At the request of Council,Planning/Building/Public Works Administrator
Gregg Zimmerman provided additional information regarding items 7.c. and
7.e.,the purchase and sale agreement for the Vuong property located at 13642
SE 116th St,the consultant contract for the NE 10th St./Anacortes Ave.NE
Storm System Improvement and Detention Pond project,and the proposed
Vuong annexation. He explained that the original design to alleviate flooding
along NE 10th St. and Anacortes Ave.NE,which included an outlet to Honey
Creek,required a Hydraulic Permit by the Washington State Department of
Fish and Wildlife (WDFW). WDFW denied the permit because of concerns
that the proposed pipe system would increase peak flow to Honey and May
Creeks and adversely affect fish life.
Continuing,Mr.Zimmerman stated that an alternate design is being pursued to
use a detention system to reduce peak stormwater flow and flooding which
requires the purchase of 1.12 acres located at 13642 SE 116th St. for the
construction of a detention pond. The purchase and sale agreement contains a
clause that makes the sale contingent on the site being feasible for construction
of the detention pond. Mr.Zimmerman explained that the subject property is
located in unincorporated King County; therefore, a public meeting is requested
to consider the 10%Notice of Intent to Annex for the proposed Vuong
Annexation consisting of approximately 2.25 acres.
Responding to Council inquiry regarding funding for this project,Chief
Administrative Officer Jay Covington confirmed that funds have been set aside
in the 2001 Surface Water Utility Capital Improvement Program budget to
address the flooding problems in this area.

Applications for 2001 Local Law Enforcement Block Grants are due July 25, 2001. The Department
of Justice administers LLEBG grants. Renton has been preapproved for the grant amount of$60,490;
the grant is based on the number of violent crimes the City has had in the past three years. These
funds are available to cities, counties and states and can be used for seven different purposes. Since
1996 we have used the funds in the area of crime prevention - to fund legal advocacy services for
victims of domestic violence.
The grants require a local match of 10%. Cities have 2 years to expend the funds after receiving the
award. Before we can spend the funds, we must convene an advisory committee to review the
application and make non-binding recommendations on the use of funds. The Renton Domesitic
Violence Task Force serves as the Advisory Committee. A public hearing must also be held.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The attached resolution authorized staff to apply for the 2001 Local Law Enforcement Block
