    2 RESOLUTION __________________

    3 ..title
    4 A RESOLUTION committing to collaborate with the Executive to ensureon the transfer of
    5 properties that have a mutual and offsetting benefit lease to the organizations currently
    6 residing in those facilities no later than March 2019 in circumstances where those
    7 organizations have expressed interest in taking ownership of those properties and a
    8 commitment to continue to provide services to the community, and have demonstrated
    9 the financial capability of maintaining the facility.

    11 ..body
    12 WHEREAS, the non-profit organizations occupying city-owned facilities with mutual and

    13 offsetting benefit leases have provided vital services to Seattle for decades; and

    14 WHEREAS, a response from the Department of Finance and Administrative Services to

    15 statement of legislative intent 58-1-A-2 in 2013 indicates that the City’s current approach

    16 to properties that have a mutual and offsetting benefit (MOB) lease is not sustainable

    17 because the existing methodology for calculating cash rent does not cover facility

    18 maintenance costs and the non-profits residing in these properties have limited ability to

    19 absorb a larger share of rent without needing to reduce services; and

    20 WHEREAS, on October 5, 2016, Seattle’s Office of Housing (OH) determined that the benefits

    21 of redeveloping the property at 722 18th Avenue (formerly Fire Station 23) for affordable

    22 housing do not outweigh the benefits of having Byrd Barr Place (formerly Centerstone)

    23 continue to provide services to the community at that location; and

    24 WHEREAS, for 50 years, Byrd Barr Place has provided essential human services to Seattle

    25 residents who are struggling to make ends meet, most of whom live at 150% or more

    26 below the federal poverty level; and

    Attachment A

    1 WHEREAS, on October 7, 2016, OH determined that mitigating the steep slope on the east side

    2 of the property at 500 30th Avenue South (Central Area Senior Center) would make

    3 redeveloping the site with affordable housing financially unfeasible and the benefits of

    4 having Central Area Senior Center (CASC) continue to serve African-American seniors

    5 in the community far outweigh the benefits of redeveloping the site for affordable

    6 housing; and

    7 WHEREAS, the Central Area Senior Center, founded in 1972, is a nonprofit volunteer-supported

    8 resource providing services to support the emotional, social, and physical well-being of

    9 older adults and their families; and

    10 WHEREAS, on October 9, 2015, OH determined that co-development at the Greenwood Senior

    11 Center would not offer meaningful cost savings sufficient to present a more cost-effective

    12 option for the development of affordable housing than development on other market-rate

    13 sites; and

    14 WHERAS, The Phinney Neighborhood Association’s Greenwood Senior Center is a non-profit

    15 organization that has been serving older adults and seniors since 1978 and centers an

    16 inclusive community that provides social, physical, and educational activities focused

    17 around the needs of older adults, as well as works to fight isolation, build camaraderie,

    18 and enrich each other’s lives; and

    19 WHEREAS, on July 15, 2015, Byrd Barr Place received a grant from the Washington

    20 Department of Commerce for $1,455,000 to renovate the building it occupies under the

    21 condition that it owns or holds a long-term lease for a minimum of ten years for the

    22 property; and

    1 WHEREAS, if Byrd Barr Place does not obtain ownership or a long-term lease by June 2019

    2 they will lose the $1,455,000 grant from the Washington Department of Commerce; and

    3 WHEREAS, a report prepared by Soul Light and submitted to the Department of Finance and

    4 Administrative Services on September 13, 2017 determined that Byrd Barr Place and the

    5 Central Area Senior Center meet all documented criteria for receiving the property in

    6 which they currently reside and City departments believe these organizations have the

    7 capability of managing these properties after their transfer for continued community

    8 services; NOW, THEREFORE,

    9 BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEATTLE, THE

    10 MAYOR CONCURRING, THAT:

    14 profit organizations currently residing in those facilities no later than March 31, 2019 as

    15 recommended in prior consultant reports to the City of Seattle in exchange for certain

    16 commitments to maintain the properties and to continue to provide services to the community, all

    17 subject to completion of environmental review.

    18 Section 2. The City Council will establish, document, and communicate clear criteria and

    19 timelines for entering into long-term leases or transferring the remaining properties with MOB

    21 subject to completion of environmental review.
