PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND WORKPLAN DEVELOPMENT Our team will work closely with Yakima Community Development staff to refine a project schedule and workplan that both addresses stakeholders concerns and meets the requirements of HB 1933 and the grant agreement with Department of Commerce. This task includes reviewing previous studies to leverage that work and avoid conducting redundant analysis. In order to use available time and budget efficiently, we will attempt to consolidate travel to Yakima as much as possible throughout the project cycle. For activities like Advisory Committee meetings we anticipate prioritizing meeting in person during the early stage of the project, and meeting virtually later on. Exhibit 1.

PUBLIC OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT This task includes the development and implementation of a Community Outreach and Engagement Plan. It will run in parallel with other tasksthroughout the entire project, to ensure that the project is grounded in and builds upon community members' deep firsthand knowledge of Page 10 of 19 Yakima's needs. While the details of this plan will be refined following project kick-off, the Tasks, meetings, and products described below provide an example of the scope and level of effort we anticipate for BERK's role in public outreach and engagement. A key element of our approach to this task will be engaging local organizations and community leaders to inform and support the outreach and engagement effort. We will focus on those who can support engagement with Latinx and Spanish-speaking residents, and will set aside a portion of the project budget to compensate local partners and/or businesses for their services, as appropriate. Partners could be Iocal translators with outreach experience, leaders of community- 6osedorgonizotion4ven600thotcansupportengogement(e.g.prinUng,foo6,etc)ondothers. Appropriate roles, responsibilities, and compensation for these partners can be defined in collaboration with City of ¥akima planning staff and with the partners. While the breakdown of roles is not yet defined, we anticipate BERK staff playing an active role in all outreach and engagement events. We also hope to support city staff to build connections and capacity for future ongoing engagement efforts. We will begin our work with a series of stakeholder interviews as well as a stakeholder summit in Yakima to develop a solid understanding of the community's range of concerns and perspectives that need to be considered in this plan. We will also receive feedback on how these stakeholders and the communities they represent perceive the proposed process, and how they wish to be engaged during this process. Does the process feel relevant to them and their communities, and why? If they would like to be engaged, what formats would work besfor them? At what points in the process would they like to be involved? With what frequency? We will be responsive to community needs and feedback by modifying project goals and Exhibit 2.

All provisions in the basic contract remain in effect except as expressly modified by this supplement. The changes to the agreement are described as follows: Section 2: Scope of Services The Supplemental Agreement includes changes in the implementation of the community engagement portion of the Scope of Work, due to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions in gathering and public meetings. The adjustment to virtual ZOOM-type meetings, prohibition on small in-person interviews and meetings created a major modification in the approach to gathering public input and community engagement. Since the duration of this pandemic and related restrictions was not known, Berk consulting and the City of Yakima modified the approach several times, in an iterative process to meet the intent of the State Funding under HB 1923 and to be consistent with Department of Commerce Guidelines in the preparation of the Housing Action Plan. Section 5: Compensation Payment for this supplemented work, as shown on Exhibit A is not to exceed$3,800, bringing the total amount of the Agreement to$98,800. This reevaluation of tasks is pursuant to Section 5.3 of the contract. Compensation will be from the funds originally reserved by the City of Yakima for printing and publication costs. If you concur with this supplement and agree to the changes as stated above, please sign the appropriate spaces below and return to this office for final action.
