Updated 5.12.18 To: Councilwoman Funk From: Ana Cortez, Assistant City Manager Date: July 10, 2018 Subj: Governor's Proviso As directed, I am providing you with a summary of key points from our conversation last Friday. a) Per council agreement, the lead agency for the gang prevention initiative will be the City. b) HR prepared analysis of the implication of assigning current staff to serve as the coordinator of this effort. Based on this analysis, hiring a contractor rather than re- assigning current city employee would be the most expeditious approval for staffing this initiative. c) In keeping with the primary goal of sustainability, the funding will develop skills of those with "boots on the ground." Capacity building efforts will focus on program assessment, performance measures development, outcomes data collection, and fund development to increase capacity of programs that have shown effective results or demonstrate ability to implement best practices. d) The effort will be Yakima centric. e) Council will select an ad-hoc committee. One councilmember suggested that a combination of councilmembers from the Public Safety and Economic Development Committees would be appropriate, but not the only members of this committee. f) This ad-hoc committee will serve as steering committee for the effort and will invite members of other sectors per OJJDP model. g) The ad-hoc committee will select contractor(s) based on the following criteria: 1. Local person. 2. Expertize in local youth services delivery 3. Demonstrate ability to learn new skills in program design or fund development NCNB 009 4. Will focus on developing funds for promising practices among local service providers While applicants currently working in youth services in Yakima will be encouraged to apply as contractors, they will have to demonstrate ability to work with all partners. Selected contractors will be expected to work as a team, promote network efficiencies, and shared success between programs. h) The IRS outlines clear distinction between an employee and a contractor. In summary, the contractor has to be independent to accomplish specific results in a manner, place, schedule he/she sees fit. This memo includes two articles that cover nuances about this difference. i) Selected contractors will be expected to meet all insurance and procurement requirements including professional liability, auto and workers compensation insurance.

The committee will assist in determining gaps in the housing continuum of care and make recommendations to the Community on how to best close those gaps in relation to the current Homeless and Housing Needs Assessment for all residents of Yakima County. To best make these recommendations, the committee will do the following: • Complete a recent Housing Needs Assessment which will include a housing inventory. • Compile, Analyze, and disseminate Best Practices and Innovations regarding Affordable Housing. • Identify potential partners to assist in addressing those gaps in the housing continuum of care including providers, municipalities, and members of the community. • Advocate and educate consumers and the public to address issues surrounding affordable housing. Walla Walla Homeless Model This is information from the AWC session, concentrating on "Conestoga Hut" clusters in Eugene, Oregon, and Walla Walla, WA. | was particularly interested because the private space behind locked doors seems to offer potential for a more efficient and safer staffing model.

My understanding of the strategic plan n i ng/committee structure is that these are City Council committees serving its "legislative" function. That is different from staff committees serving "executive" function under the City Manager. That said, I agree that it's important not to waste time and energy. I made some notes about high priority ideas that I picked up from the Yakima Comprehensive Plan 2040: More affordable housing will mean higher density housing, and may require zoning variances, or new thoughts about zoning. We have already seen NIMBY push back, and that would be best addressed by disbursing affordable housing throughout the city rather than a very large concentration in one neighborhood, which the neighbors won't like it. This is well articulated in the Comp Plan. In section 2.3, this need is recognized, to include "several policies to encourage more multi- family and nontraditional residential development". And "a greater mix of housing sizes and types". Regarding the Cascade Mill site (LU -5), we need to have concerns about whether the enormous investment will benefit the property owner only, or also benefit the community, and address our affordable housing problems. There is also concern that redevelopment of the Boise Cascade Mill site, would lead to "gentrification" in the surrounding neighborhoods, and escalating housing prices. Section 2.3.1 emphasizes "a wide variety of housing types" including "Accessory Dwelling Units" and accommodation of our aging population, I think that these plans will be particularly helpful to meet future housing needs. Section 2.3.7 discusses the "development of zoning incentives to help meet housing diversity and affordability goals", which sound particularly valuable in creation of more housing units, a it would be great to see that tracked and benchmarked. w w .0 a gas NCNB 027 fir•` H-8, recognizes a deficiency of 3,300 units affordable to those earning lower incomes". The policies and data goals in unit 5.4 will provide a roadmap for benchmarking. Exhibit 5-3, is a housing implementation plan that is also data driven. I would like to see the Healthy Neighborhood Committee continuously monitor the progress of these articulated goals. I also read the Opportunity Measurement Report 360, particularly Tract 2, Northeast Yakima and the Boise Cascade Mill site. This is an attractive presentation with multi- cover graphics. It is not always entirely clear what numbers were used to populate these graphics, but the report provides some valuable neighborhood specific information, and I think it would be interesting to assess where these data come from and how often these numbers are updated, and how they change with time. IN! ROWTVARRIND !R Yakima Top 21 Facts and Trends 2. Yakima is diverse. About 79 percent of Yakima's growth in population between 2010 and 2014 was Hispanic, with overall Hispanic population makingup 44 percent of the City in2O14.The Comprehensive Plan will need toaddress the cultural needs of the whole community. 4. Yakima has room to grow. The City growth targets would mean 17,167 new persons and 8,556'jobs between now and 2040. The Comprehensive Plan must show how the City will accommodate the growth projection. About 20 percent of land in the city limits is developable for added housing and jobs. The City has nearly twice the capacity for growth above the targets. A majority of Yakima households have no children. Over half of the City's households have single or coupled adults and no children. The Comprehensive Plan should ensure a variety of home sizes and styles to meet the needs of small households. DRAFT I May 2016 YAKIMA COMPREHENSIVE F1B 029 EXISTING CONDITIONS REPO. Yakima Top 21 Facts and Trends 8. Most of Yakima's housing stock is old. Only 10 percent of residential structures have been built since 2000, and 50.1 percent of units were built 40 or more years ago. Since housing units generally have a functional life of around 40 years, those units older than 40 years require additional investments. Preserving existing housing is important to maintain affordability. 10. There is a gap in affordable rental units in Yal 3,300 units affordable to those earning lower i pay more than they can afford for the units t locations and standards for new attached Comprehensive Plan Update. In the City,there is a gap of over es, meaning households have to �e available. Identifying suitable ine will be considered in the 12. Yakima` residents earn lower incomes. Yakima's median household income is 27% lower than the State median income. About 22.8% of the City's population earns incomes below: the federal poverty level, higher than the state as a whole at 13.5%. "yh New opportunities for family wage jobs through appropriate zoning and capital v D investments, and partnerships with agencies that provide workforce training will be part of the Land Use and Economic Development Elements. 14. The City's jobs are diverse, and there are opportunities to catalyze growth in family wage jobs. Currently, the City contains 40,390 jobs. Top sectors include health care, retail, agriculture, and manufacturing. Jobs are concentrated in the Downtown and near US 12. Retaining and attracting jobs in these sectors, particularly those offering family wage jobs, plus supporting a growing tourism market and small businesses are part of the regional strategy. The City has ample capacity to add its target 8,556 jobs between now and 2040. Investing in redevelopment such as the Cascade Mill Site, supporting a unique retail experience in Downtown, expanding the Airport, and other activities will be important to catalyzing job opportunities. Planning for capital facilities and infrastructure and supporting partnerships in workforce training are other important City activities. DRAFT i May 2016 1-10 Yakima Top 21 Facts and Trends 26. Traffic volumes have declined in some areas and increased in others. Based on current traffic count volumes, notable changes in the last 10years include decreases on 1st Street, 16th Avenue, and Lincoln Avenue,/ MLK Jr. Boulevard and increases on Fruitvale Boulevard. More detailed operations and testing of future growth scenarios will be part of the Transportation Element Update. 18.There are gaps important t4 gaps.
