Maple Valley council authorizes SKHHP to execute affordable-housing funding agreements

The Maple Valley City Council on March 9 adopted Resolution No. R-26-2052 authorizing the duly-appointed administering agency for the South King Housing and Homelessness Partners (SKHHP) to execute documents necessary to enter into agreements for funding affordable-housing projects using funds the city contributed to the SKHHP Housing Capital Fund.

Economic and Community Development Director Doug McIntyre introduced SKHHP Program Coordinator Dorsol Plants, who provided the presentation that preceded the council's action. Councilmember Victoria Schroff moved to approve the resolution; Mayor Sean P. Kelly seconded the motion. The council voted 6-0 to adopt R-26-2052.

The resolution authorizes the administering agency named by SKHHP to sign contracts and related documents on behalf of the partnership so long as those actions fall within the authority granted by the resolution and the SKHHP Executive Board recommendations. The meeting record does not specify individual project awards or dollar amounts tied to the city contribution; those details will be handled through SKHHP's selection and contracting process as authorized by the resolution.

No amendments or recorded dissent were noted during the council's vote. The council did not set additional conditions in the meeting minutes; any implementation steps or reporting requirements were not specified in the published record.
