The SCT Steering Committee approved the report in June 2009. The feasibility study <br /> recommended that cities work together through an effort much like ARCH in King County where cities work <br /> together on creating housing opportunities. The attached Interlocal Cooperation Agreement has been drafted <br /> to form a group of cities and Snohomish County to work together. The goals are to educate and provide <br /> technical expertise in support of affordable housing, foster efforts to provide affordable housing, seek <br /> opportunities to leverage resources to support implementation of housing goals and policies and to <br /> accomplish the purposes efficiently and expeditiously. With the expertise of the Snohomish County Housing <br /> Authority and financial assistance from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation the effort is ready to move <br /> ahead. All other cities listed in the agreement and Snohomish County have committed to this effort. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(Exact action requested of Council): <br /> Authorize the Mayor to sign the Interlocal Cooperation Agreement for Inter-Jurisdictional Coordination <br /> Relating to Affordable Housing. <br /> 75 <br />
