Body

                     SECTION 1.  Findings:

                     A.  K.C.C. 2.16.055.C. requires the executive to transmit to the council community needs lists for the six rural community service area and five urban unincorporated potential annexation area geographies concurrent with the executive's biennial budget transmittal.  Given that, the community needs lists in this ordinance were transmitted to council with the biennial budget.

                     B.  As required by K.C.C. 2.16.055.C.:

                       1.  The community needs lists are consistent with and, when relevant, implement the subarea plans and other county plans;

                       2.  The community needs lists include potential services, programs, facilities, and capital improvements that respond to community-identified needs, including those that build on the communities' strengths and assets;

                       3.  The community needs lists were developed, reviewed and prioritized using tools and resources developed by the office of equity and social justice, including community engagement, language access and equity impact review tools.  The county used the "County consults," and "County engages in dialogue" levels of community engagement for the six rural community service area and three urban unincorporated potential annexation area geographies. For the remaining two urban unincorporated potential annexation areas, Skyway and North Highline, the County used “County engages in dialogues” and “County and community work together” levels of community engagement;

                       4.  The community needs lists were developed based on an initial catalog of requests from the community for potential services, programs and improvements.  The initial catalog was refined by the community service area program of the department of local services into a community needs list based on review by departments as to whether and to what extent the requests meets or strengthens the community vision and policies established in the subarea plans and other county plans.  County agencies also reviewed the initial catalog for consistency with other county plans, feasibility, budget constraints, timing, resources needs and other barriers to implementation.  The six rural community service area and five urban unincorporated potential annexation area communities also reviewed the initial catalog through ongoing community engagement to identify, discuss and prioritize community needs;

                       5.  The community needs lists were prioritized by the executive in consultation with the community and the councilmember offices that represent the six rural community service area and five urban unincorporated potential annexation area geographies.  The community needs lists identify which county agencies are responsible for implementation of each item and anticipated timelines for completion;

                       6.  For each request from the initial catalog that is not advanced to the community needs list, information is provided for why the request was not advanced.  For items that cannot be accomplished by the county because they are outside of the scope of county operations, information is provided on how noncounty entities may be able to accomplish the item, including consideration of potential partnerships with noncounty entities;

                       7.  The community needs lists include performance metrics to monitor the implementation and the overarching progress towards reaching the twenty-year vision established in the policies of the subarea plan, as informed by the community and the council.  The performance metrics will be reviewed and reported on annually and monitored by the community and the council; and

                       8.  The executive coordinated and collaborated with councilmember offices that represent the six rural community service area and five urban unincorporated potential annexation area geographies throughout the development of the community needs lists.

                     C.  In accordance with K.C.C. 2.16.055.C., the community needs list are the responsibility of the executive to implement.  Implementation of the community needs lists will require additional resources and funding requests are subject to approval through the county budget process.  The feasibility of implementation and timelines for completion identified in the community needs lists may change based on future resources and appropriations.

                     SECTION 2.  The Community Needs Lists, dated September 2022, in Attachment A to this ordinance is adopted.
