The Maple Valley City Council on Feb. 24 approved two key administrative measures: a resolution authorizing execution of documents for South King housing and Homelessness Partners (SKHHP) funding agreements for affordable housing projects, and a fifth amendment extending the City Hall lease with Maple Valley Plaza, LLC.
Community Development Manager Matt Torpey introduced Resolution No. R-25-1956, explaining it would authorize the duly appointed SKHHP administering agency to enter agreements using funds the city has contributed to the SKHHP Housing Capital Fund. SKHHP Executive Manager Claire Goodwin provided the presentation. The council moved to approve R-25-1956; the motion carried 7-0.
City Manager Laura Philpot presented Resolution No. R-25-1953, the fifth amendment to the lease between Maple Valley Plaza, LLC and the City of Maple Valley to extend City Hall occupancy. Mayor Sean P. Kelly moved approval and Councilmember Les Burberry seconded; the motion carried 7-0.
Both items were handled during the new business portion of the agenda after routine consent business. The council took no amendments or recorded no dissenting votes on either measure.
