PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, Diwali 2026 will be celebrated on Sunday, November 8, marking the main
day of Lakshmi Puja; and
WHEREAS, the complete Diwali celebration spans five days, with each day holding
special spiritual significance; and
WHEREAS, Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights, is celebrated by millions of
people around the world, including members of Hindu, Jain, Sikh, and other South Asian
communities;
WHEREAS, Diwali celebrates the triumph of good over evil, knowledge over ignorance,
and light over darkness. The festival carries different meanings across Hindu traditions and other
South Asian faiths, reflecting shared themes of hope, renewal, prosperity, and the power of light
to guide us forward. It is a time for reflection, celebration, and connection with family and
community; and
WHEREAS, despite these diverse traditions, all celebrations share the universal theme
that light dispels darkness, truth overcomes ignorance, and compassion conquers fear; and
WHEREAS, a central observance of Diwali is the evening worship of Goddess Lakshmi,
the Hindu deity associated with wealth, prosperity, and good fortune. During this celebration,
families adorn their homes with lamps and decorative lights to welcome the goddess and seek her
blessings for the coming year. The traditional puja (prayer ceremony) includes offerings such as
flowers, sweets, and fruits, accompanied by prayers for abundance, happiness, prosperity, and
overall well-being; and
WHEREAS, colorful patterns called rangoli are created at entrances using colored
powders, rice, or flower petals. These intricate designs welcome guests and deities, symbolizing
the joy and vibrancy of the celebration; and
WHEREAS, food is not just part of Diwali but "everything" during the holiday, with the
sharing of homemade or store-bought sweets; and
WHEREAS, Diwali has evolved from a celebration observed primarily within immigrant
communities to a widely recognized cultural event across the United States. Indian American
families have embraced and adapted traditional customs to reflect their lives in America, blending
cultural heritage with contemporary practices while preserving the festival’s spiritual significance.
These celebrations also provide opportunities to share traditions, strengthen community
connections, and promote greater cultural understanding.
WHEREAS, the City of University Place recognizes that cultural celebrations enrich our
community, honor the diverse backgrounds of our residents, and promote inclusion, mutual
respect, and a sense of belonging; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED, that the City Council of the City of
University Place, Washington, hereby recognizes Diwali 2026, the Festival of Lights, and joins the
community in celebrating its enduring messages of hope, renewal, and the triumph of light over
darkness and good over evil. The City encourages all residents to learn about and appreciate the
rich traditions, cultural heritage, and contributions reflected in this important observance. May
this festival bring warmth, joy, peace, and prosperity to all who celebrate.
PROCLAIMED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY

PUBLIC HEARING
8. 2027-2027 BIENNIAL CITY BUDGET
Staff Report – Finance Director Oh presented the proposed 2027-2028 Biennial Budget, noting that it is
balanced and based on several conservative financial assumptions: (1) operating expenditures reflect
varying inflationary impacts across expenditure categories; (2) Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects
continue to leverage local funds to secure grant funding; (3) debt service payments are budgeted in
accordance with the City’s debt repayment schedule; and (4) the operating budget includes the addition of
1.0 FTE, along with the reallocation of 0.25 FTE from the Surface Water Management (SWM) Fund to the
General Fund to support recreation services.
Revenue projections reflect modest declines in tax revenues due to economic uncertainty and volatility
affecting sales tax and real estate excise tax collections. Utility tax revenues are projected at approximately
$4.9 million annually, while cable, cellular, and telephone tax revenues are expected to continue declining.
The budget also incorporates the statutorily authorized property tax increases for 2027 and 2028.
On the expenditure side, the adopted budget assumptions included a 4.5% cost-of-living adjustment
(COLA) for 2027 and a 3.0% COLA for 2028. Subsequent collective bargaining negotiations resulted in a
union agreement providing for a 3.5% COLA in 2028. The City Manager’s proposed budget incorporates
$1,556,600 in new expenditure requests. Of the total, $66,500 reflects ongoing costs, and $1,490,100
consists of one-time expenditures.
In summary, the 2027/2028 Proposed Biennial Budget is a balanced and conservative budget that provides
for the continuation of essential services to the community. As always, we will continue providing the best
service we can, meeting all our contractual, legal and debt obligations, while exercising prudent cash
management and maintaining our Strategic Reserve.
Public Comment – None.
The public comment period will remain open until November 16, when the 2027-2028 Biennial Budget is
scheduled to be considered for adoption.
9. CITY MANAGER AND COUNCIL COMMENTS/REPORTS
Community and Economic Development Director Briske provided an update on the Grandview Senior
Housing project, reporting that construction remains on schedule for June 2028 completion and that the
first phase will provide 184 senior housing units, including affordable units for income-qualified seniors. City
Manager Sugg also reported a temporary phone service outage due to equipment failure, noting that calls
have been rerouted while repairs are underway and that City Hall remains open and operational.
Councilmember Wood reported participating in Commission Liaison Ad-Hoc Committee meeting and noted
progress on a recommendation for future consideration. He also shared that favorable weather contributed
to a successful Oktoberfest, thanking the community for its participation and support.

Councilmember Grassi thanked staff and volunteers for a successful Oktoberfest, recognized Hotworx’s
anniversary, and highlighted Sierra Boyce’s support of the local business community. She also attended
Rotary, sheriff’s training, audit, and Chamber events, expressing appreciation to community partners and
City staff. Additionally, Councilmember Grassi announced the upcoming Thanksgiving meal distribution,
which will provide meals to approximately 100 local families through a partnership of community
organizations.
Councilmember Cunningham reported that Oktoberfest was a successful event with strong community
participation. She expressed appreciation to staff for their responsiveness to resident concerns, noting that
City communications regarding solicitation issues demonstrated that community feedback was being heard
and addressed. She also thanked staff for their prompt efforts in recognizing Filipino Heritage Month, noting
that the proclamation was meaningful to the community and well received.
Councilmember Boykin thanked City staff for their commitment to inclusivity, diversity, and community
engagement, noting the importance of processes that elevate community voices and support City priorities.
He also highlighted the success of Oktoberfest, attended the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber annual
meeting and a community educational forum on ballot measures, and encouraged residents to remain
informed and engaged in civic participation.
Mayor Flemming reported on a recent delegation trip to India, highlighting opportunities to strengthen
educational, cultural, and governmental partnerships and noting that the visit provided valuable insights
into India’s growing global role and its interest in fostering local government relationships. He also
acknowledged the passing of former Police Chief Mike Blair and noted that his service to the City would be
formally recognized at a future meeting.
STUDY SESSION
10. 2027-2028 BIENNIAL BUDGET: EXPENDITURES, COMMUNITY GRANTS
Staff Report – City Manager Sugg commented on the proposed 2027-2028 Biennial Budget, emphasizing
that the budget is balanced and designed to maintain existing service levels while addressing Council
priorities and commitments made to voters, including continued public safety investments.
Finance Director Oh noted that the budget reflects inflationary pressures across expenditure categories
while preserving community services and quality-of-life standards. Key assumptions include adding one
Assistant City Attorney position to address increased prosecution caseloads and code enforcement needs,
offset in part by eliminating the current prosecution contract, and reallocating 0.25 FTE from the SWM Fund
to support recreation services. Staffing levels are projected at 70 FTEs for 2027.
Director Oh reported that expenditure growth continues to be driven by inflation, labor costs, police contract
increases, and capital projects, while debt service costs are declining due to bond repayment. She also
outlined approximately $1.5 million in proposed new item requests, most of which are one-time
expenditures.
Staff recommended revisions for inclusion in the final budget to be considered by Council on November 16,
include a Facilities Maintenance Ford Transit van ($75,000, General Fund) and the Alameda Lights project
($500,000 in project expenditures offset by grant revenue). Payroll and benefit updates reflect the 2028
union contract 3.5% COLA, anticipated step increases and potential promotions, and updated employee
benefit premium assumptions based on actual AWC insurance rates.
Director Oh also reviewed the community grant program, noting that $10,000 per year is proposed for grant
funding, with historical recipients including TACID and the Crystal Judson Family Justice Center.
Council discussed the proposed Assistant City Attorney position, succession planning, employee benefit
cost increases, recreation funding, the proposed facilities maintenance transit van, and the community grant
program. Staff clarified the Assistant City Attorney position would expand legal and code enforcement
capacity. Council requested additional information regarding succession mentor compensation and health
plan comparisons, reviewed recreation and facility maintenance costs, and discussed modernizing the
City Council Minutes of October 19, 2026
Page 4
community grant program through a competitive RFP process while considering an increase to the overall
grant allocation. Staff recommended maintaining funding in the budget while Council considers future
changes to the grant allocation process. Council generally supported further review of these budget and
policy items. Council concluded by directing councilmembers to submit any proposed budget additions,
reductions, or modifications to staff before the next budget study session, where outstanding questions and
proposed budget changes will be revisited.
At 8:55 p.m., MOTION: By Councilmember Grassi, seconded by Councilmember Wood, to extend the
meeting to 9:30 p.m.
The motion carried.
11. 2027 LEGISLATIVE AGENDA
Staff Report – Administrative Services Director Petorak presented proposed 2027 legislative priorities
emphasizing on the following:
Housing Policy: One proposed priority is encouraging targeted state tax incentives for developers who build
housing required under state mandates. Council members also discussed preserving local flexibility in
zoning and using funding rather than additional one-size-fits-all mandates to increase housing production.
State Mandate Pause: The City may support South Sound Housing Affordability Partner’s (SSH³P)
request for a timeout or transition period so local governments can implement existing housing and rentalhousing mandates responsibly rather than continuously reacting to new requirements.
AWC Priorities: Staff recommended supporting Association of Washington Cities priorities concerning
housing, flexible capital-project funding, local regulatory control, restoration or preservation of public-works
funding for cities, indigent-defense funding, and protection of existing local-government resources.
Capital Projects: The five proposed capital priorities are maintaining approximately $1.12 million in
Recreation and Conservation Office funding for the Cirque Park Sports Court; approximately $400,000 for
right-of-way acquisition to complete Drexler Drive; approximately $300,000 for Day Island design
enhancement to address King Tide/flooding issues, rebuild the roadway and improve drainage;
approximately $500,000 to explore and design an option for a senior center/community center building as
part of Homestead Park; and approximately $500,000 to complete the roadway/sewer connection on 57th
Avenue to Cirque Drive across the wetland.
Council members were asked to submit proposed additions, deletions, or changes to the City Manager.
After Council establishes the agenda, staff will schedule meetings with state and federal representatives to
advocate for the selected priorities. A question about the Homestead Park senior/community center location
was deferred for follow-up.

SUMMARY/POLICY ISSUES
Each year, the City’s legislative agenda brings together AWC’s legislative priorities with policy and funding proposals that
reflect the needs of the community. Looking ahead to the 2027 legislative session, staff recommend adopting the
Association of Washington Cities adopted 2027 legislative agenda and the South Sound Housing Affordability Partners’
(SSHA3P) priorities in their entirety. Additionally, further policy considerations and capital projects provided by Council
and City staff are included and listed below:
The City’s legislative priorities incorporate council’s comments which encourage the Legislature to establish targeted tax
incentives for developers that build the types of housing required under State housing mandates. Potential incentives
could help offset development costs, improve project feasibility, and encourage the timely production of housing that
meets state and local affordability and supply goals.
Related to capital projects there are five items for consideration:
1. Maintain Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) funding at a level that includes the City’s Cirque Sport Court
Project.
2. Drexler Drive Extension Right of Way Purchase – $400K to purchase ROW to complete the full extension.
3. Day Island Spit Road Design – $300k to design enhancements to address King Tide/flooding issues, rebuild the
roadway and improve drainage.
4. Community Building Design - $500k to explore and design an option for a community building next to Homestead
Park.
5. 57th Avenue Stream Crossing - $500K to complete the roadway and sewer connection on 57th Avenue to Cirque
Drive across the wetland.

TO:
City Council
FROM:
Lisa Petorak, Director of Administrative Services
SUBJECT: City of University Place 2027 Legislative Agenda Discussion
Background
Each year, the City’s legislative agenda brings together AWC’s Legislative Priorities with
policy and funding proposals that reflect the needs of our community.
To help frame the discussion, a summary of the 2026 legislative priorities and session
outcomes is below. Looking ahead to the 2027 legislative session, I have also included
AWC’s adopted priorities, South Sound Housing Affordability Partners’ (SSHA 3P)
legislative agenda, and policy and project ideas from your fellow Council Members and
City staff for Council’s consideration.
Council’s 2026 Legislative Outcomes
The 2026 legislative session was a bit of a mixed bag for local governments. Housing and
zoning mandates remained in place, indigent defense support failed, and items like the
Public Works Assistance Account had $375 million diverted to the State general fund.
However, not all was lost as liquor revenues and the Municipal Criminal Justice Assistance
Account remained available for cities. Below is an update on the AWC policy issues the
City supported.
Enhance Public Safety
HB 2015, the City sought clarification on the process for cities that contract for
police services to qualify for funding provided to hire and retain police officers. The
city is eligible to implement the sales tax revenue and put funding towards police
services should Council choose to do so.
Indigent Defense
After the conclusion of the session, there was no new funding for city indigent
defense services.
In SB 5913 and HB 2163, the Legislature failed to clarify the Washington State
Supreme Court’s authority to set defense caseload standards.
In SB 5912, there was no revival of the state indigent defense task force to provide
sustainability recommendations.
Housing Supply
Made significant capital budget investments in housing and homelessness,
including for manufactured home park acquisition and preservation.
SB 6027 and HB 2442 increased flexibility with existing local government housing
revenues.
HB 1443 did not pass which would have required cities to allow mobile dwelling
units on every lot with little regulatory or health and safety review.
2026 Session Project Grants
The City saw some success at both the State and Federal level for a few Capital and
Transportation Budget projects in 2026. The State only provided an opportunity to request
two projects out of the Capital Legislative Priorities. Thus, the City went with Council’s first
priority which was the Alameda Drive Street Lighting Project. At the Federal level, the City
requested funding for the Traffic Signal Upgrade Project.

2027 Council Ideas
Council Member Wood proposed encouraging the Legislature to establish targeted tax
incentives for developers that build the types of housing required under state housing
mandates. Potential incentives could help offset development costs, improve project
feasibility, and encourage the timely production of housing that meets state and local
affordability and supply goals.
AWC and South Sound SSHA3P 2027 Legislative Priorities
It is recommended the City support the AWC 2027 Legislative Priorities List in its entirety.
Below are a few highlights from the attached document:
1.
Support AWC’s request for increased funding for indigent defense to comply with
State Supreme Court mandated reductions in caseloads. Allow the Municipal
Criminal Justice Assistance Account to be allocated as a direct and quarterly
distribution to cities.
2.
Support AWC’s request for direct and meaningful investments in local
infrastructure (e.g., streets, sidewalks and utilities), including support for
increased preservation, maintenance and operations and preserve the Public
Works Assistance Account.
3.
Support AWC’s request to increase funding and expand eligibility of the
Connecting Housing and Infrastructure Program (CHIP) to include not only sewer
and stormwater, but also, streets, sidewalks and other public works projects
associated with affordable housing projects.
4.
Provide local governments with tools to incentivize compliance with local design
guidelines that align public and developer interests (which, due to recent State
law changes, are heavily weighted towards developers). On a broader level,
provide State tax incentives to encourage developers to build the type of
affordable housing mandated by the State.
5.
Support state funding and technical assistance to increase access to Govtech or
other AI assisted permitting systems for more efficient permitting. Authorize HB
1590 and HB 1406 revenues to be used for permitting software improvements.
6.
Finally, support efforts to create a statewide regulatory framework for emotorcycles that does not limit local ability to apply regulations.
It is recommended the City continue to support South Sound Housing Affordability Partners
(SSHA3P) efforts to expand housing affordability, supply and sustainability. The
recommendation is to support SSHA3P 2027 legislative priorities in its entirety and those
are also attached at the end of this document.
Regarding state capital projects, staff suggest discussion on the following potential
requests:
Maintain Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) funding at a level that includes
the City’s Cirque Sport Court Project.
Drexler Drive Extension Right of Way Purchase – $400K to purchase ROW to
complete the full extension.
Day Island Spit Road Design – $300k to design enhancements to address King
Tide/flooding issues, rebuild the roadway and improve drainage.
Community Building Design - $500k to explore and design an option for a
community building next to Homestead Park.
57th Avenue Stream Crossing - $500K to complete the roadway and sewer
connection on 57th Avenue to Cirque Drive across the wetland.

to SB 6346 (tax on millionaires). Beginning in 2029,
the account should be funded at an amount intended
to backfill lost revenue from sales tax exemptions
and reflect a commitment to share statewide revenue
generated within cities and towns back to those
communities and include a growth factor that keeps
up with revenue growth and inflation.
• Expand existing revenue tools to increase their
ability to address city funding needs. Changes
would include items like:
• Expand and enhance the funding tools for
transportation benefit districts (TBDs).
• Authorize local short-term rental tax dedicated
to affordable housing.
• Explore increasing the share of liquor and
cannabis revenue shared with cities and towns
and making shared revenues as flexible as
possible allowing usage toward any general
government purpose.
• Support ongoing efforts to revise the property
tax cap to reflect inflation.
• Authorize parity for cities and towns to
councilmanically adopt REET 2.
• Escalate state funding for the Municipal Criminal
Justice Assistance Account (MCJAA), an allocation
increased each year according to the state’s fiscal
growth factor. The account provides $60.4 million
for the current biennium distributed among all cities
through allocations for population, high crime rate,
violent crime rate, contractual law enforcement
services, and/or innovative law enforcement programs.
As a direct and quarterly distribution, cities enjoy
wide latitude to use MCJAA funding for criminal
justice purposes, including both new and existing
services such as law enforcement and indigent
defense.
• Undertake a collaborative study between state and
local government to develop recommendations for a
long-term update to Washington’s local tax structure
to improve fiscal sustainability and move to a more
progressive set of revenue options.
Housing, jobs, and infrastructure:
• Advocate for direct and meaningful investments in
local infrastructure, including funding for operations
and maintenance of aging systems. Preserve reliable
revenue streams for the Public Works Assistance
Account (PWAA), reject efforts to expand the
pool of eligible applicants that would dilute the
account’s effectiveness, and authorize at least $500
million from the PWAA to fund competitive award
cycles in the 2027-29 biennium.
• Increase funding and enhance eligibility for the
Connecting Housing and Infrastructure Program
(CHIP). CHIP is a capital budget program that
provides state funding to cities to cover certain
infrastructure costs that would otherwise be borne
by affordable housing developers. Currently it
can fund costs associated with sewer, water, and
stormwater infrastructure. Expansion could include
impact fees, sidewalks, public works improvement,
ADA compliance, off-site requirements, and road
improvements associated with affordable housing
projects. Non-profit providers could be the grant
applicant with indication of city support to remove
administrative burden from the city and improve
program efficiency. Allow CHIP to support projects
up to 100% of AMI and include home-ownership
projects. The previous biennial funding level was
$100 million. Cities request increasing the investment
to $150 million.
strong cities | great state
Issues that cities support
Budget and fiscal sustainability:
Housing affordability and supply:
• Reduce liability exposure.
• Clarify HB 1220 obligation to plan for and
accommodate growth and specific income levels
is a planning level responsibility not a requirement
to identify funding.
• Work to limit cities’ transportation-related
liability by modifying the state’s minimum
liability insurance requirements, allowing courts
to consider failure to comply with seatbelt laws
as evidence of negligence, and providing cities
with a defense to claims for injury or wrongful
death where the claimant was engaged in a
felony or in a traffic-related misdemeanor, such
as impaired driving, reckless driving, or racing.
• Explore options to address increased liabilityrelated costs with clarifications to ensure that
damage awards are tied to actual costs.
• Secure share of any excess funds resulting from the
restatement of the LEOFF 1 pension plan to assist with
city LEOFF 1 related funding obligations.
Public safety and criminal justice:
• Clarify the usability of automated license plate reader
(ALPR) cameras under SB 6002, passed in 2026.
The legislation uses ambiguous language to restrict
placement of stationary cameras under contracts
with Flock/Axon/other vendors, appears to make it
unworkable to use mobile cameras, and creates highly
challenging new public-records requirements for
police departments. AWC is actively engaging with the
Attorney General’s Office to shape model policy that
addresses some challenges, but statutory refinement
will likely be necessary to address some concerns.
• Modify the deadline for the end of the HB 2015 grant
program to allow another 12 to 18 months for cities to
spend their grant awards beyond June 30, 2028.
• Support liability reform to shield municipal jails that
meet statutory operating standards from medical tort
cases.
• Ensure that any state regulation on artificial
intelligence in law enforcement is workable
for jurisdictions using current technology under strong
human oversight.
• Support efforts to help with community disaster
response and recovery.
• Support state funding and technical assistance to
increase access to Govtech or other AI assisted
permitting systems for more efficient permitting.
Authorize HB 1590 and HB 1406 revenues to be used
for permitting software improvements.
• Create a new 0.25% tier of REET. Fast-growing cities
need infrastructure, and this is the best way for cities to
support housing development.
Public works, infrastructure,
and transportation:
• Ensure regulatory requirements, including proposals
related to procurement and contracting, are
balanced and take into account the impacts on local
governments and ratepayers.
• Provide support for more technical assistance to
smaller jurisdictions to allow them to successfully
seek and manage PWAA awards.
• Identify sustainable state and local revenue
sources to fund local transportation preservation,
maintenance, and operations, with direct distributions
to cities and towns; increase the maximum weight
of vehicles on which a TBD can levy a vehicle license
fee from 6,000 to 9,000 pounds; and provide TBDs
increased flexibility to act through councilmanic
action.
• Support efforts to create a statewide regulatory
framework for e-motorcycles that does not limit local
ability to apply regulations.

PRIORITY ISSUES
STRENGTHEN THE CONNECTING HOUSING TO INFRASTRUCTURE
PROGRAM (CHIP)
Fund and expand eligibly for CHIP so infrastructure costs do not delay or prevent
otherwise viable affordable housing developments.
Advocate for $150 million of CHIP funding; broaden eligible expenses to include the
infrastructure improvements required to make a site development-ready; allow qualified
housing developers to apply directly with documented local government support; and
assign the Department of Commerce responsibility for project affordability monitoring and
compliance.
RESTORE STABILITY TO WASHINGTON’S LAND-USE FRAMEWORK
Ensure state housing and land-use policy recognizes the implementation work
already underway and allow recent land use and housing policy changes take effect.
Advocate for a pause in major new state mandates, align effective dates and deliverables
with comprehensive-plan update timelines, and provide funding and technical assistance
commensurate with state expectations.
EXTEND AND IMPROVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROPERTY TAX
EXEMPTIONS
Create and maintain property tax tools that lower holding and operating costs for
affordable rental and homeownership housing.
Support reintroduction and passage of the concepts previously contained in SB 6256,
including a longer exemption period and eligibility for co-located service providers, and
extending the sunset for the property-tax exemption (RCW 84.36.049) available to land
owned by qualified organizations for affordable homeownership development

DATA PROPOSALS
Monitor proposals to create an advisory body, data system, or reporting structure
related to the Residential Landlord-Tenant Act.
Evaluate membership, authority, data standards, privacy, administrative burden, costs, and
whether the proposal would produce reliable information that improves housing policy.
Recommend a support, oppose, or amend position once sufficient detail is available.
IMPROVE RESOURCES FOR OWNER-OCCUPIED HOUSING
PRESERVATION
Help lower-income homeowners remain safely housed by maximizing public resource
investments.
Support a reexamination of how prevailing wage requirements are determined, while
maintaining appropriate worker wager protections and expanding contractor participation
and allowing available funding to preserve more homes.

11/02/26 COUNCIL MEETING
At the November 2, 2026 City Council meeting, staff will provide an overview of the City's Affordable and
Supportive Housing Sales and Use Tax Fund (SHB 1406) and seek Council feedback regarding a recent
funding request from Habitat for Humanity. The presentation will go over the following:

•
City’s 1406 Fund Background and Status
Eligible Uses of 1406 Funds
Income Eligibility Requirements
Habitat for Humanity 1406 Fund Request
Background HB 1406 information
HB1406 Affordable Housing Sales Tax Credit
The following is a brief summary of SHB 1406 (RCW 82.14.540).
From July 2019 to July 2020, cities and counties had the option to participate in the HB 1406 affordable
housing sales tax revenue sharing program (RCW 82.14.540). Any jurisdiction that followed the required
procedures before the July 2020 deadline will receive a share of the state’s portion of the sales tax for 20
years.
University Place City Council authorized the Affordable and Supportive Housing sales tax by ordinance 728
on June 1, 2020 pursuant to Substitute House Bill 1406 (codified at RCW 82.14.540) which allowed local
jurisdictions (cities and counties) to impose a local state-shared sales and use tax to fund affordable or
supportive housing. The consumer does not pay this tax, and the effective sales tax rate remained the
same. Instead, this tax, which is 0.0073 percent, is credited against the 6.5% state sales tax already
collected. The amounts received by the city are capped at a statutory rate (which is in the mid-$20K range)
and the tax is valid for 20 years. Currently the City receives approximately $25,000 annually (state fiscal
year July-June) and holds a balance of approximately $162,286.

Memo
SHB 1406 revenues may be used for a variety of affordable housing activities, including acquisition,
rehabilitation, construction, operations and maintenance of affordable housing, and rental assistance for
income-qualified households.
“Affordable housing” means housing where monthly housing costs, including utilities (excluding
telephone service), do not exceed 30% of a qualifying household’s income.
Housing supported must serve households earning:
•
•
At or below 60% of area median income (AMI).
At or below 80% of AME for owner occupied new construction.
On October 26, 2026, the City received a funding request from Habitat for Humanity to use $21,678 of
the City’s 1406 funds for the emergency roof replacement of a single-family home in University Place.
Upon initial review the request appears consistent with eligible uses and income requirements.
Staff is seeking Council direction on the Habitat for Humanity funding request and the allocation of SHB
1406 funds.
