t5,20L5, you requested that I provide you a guarantee of the current (or
an increased level) of City grant support for the next five years. I am unable to
provide you that guarantee. I do intend, however, to include 599,000 for the
lssaquah Senior Center, with conditions, in the 2016 proposed budget. This is the
On July
As I indicated earlier, I plan to fund the lssaquah Senior Center in 2016, subject to
City Council appropriation. However, there are requirements and conditions that
the lssaquah Senior Center must meet in order to receive this funding.
1. The lssaquah Senior Center must submit a proposal using the City's Request
for Proposal (RFP) granting process. The request for proposals will be

released by Friday, July 31, 2015. Completed applications are due to the
City by August 20,2015. Failure to submit a RFP disqualifies your

Compliance with the terms and conditions of your current annual contract
for funding.

As mentioned earlier, the grant applications will be distributed on July 31. lf the
lssaquah Senior Center decides to submit a request for funding, the City will issue
a notice to the lssaquah Senior Center of the conditions - including but not
limited to - those stipulated above. A signed agreement with the lssaquah Senior
Center Board agreeing to these conditions will then be required before I submit
my 20L6 proposed budget to the City Council. lf the lssaquah Senior Center
determines that it does not want to agree, or comply with these conditions, then I
will not recommended funding the lssaquah Senior Center in my 2016 proposed
budget.
ln addition, please publically post this letter on the Senior Center board, as my
office has received calls from several individuals who have heard incorrect
information that the City was closing the Senior Center, cancelling the current
contract, or not funding the Senior Center in 20L6. I hope this letter helps clarify
the situation for your membership.
Respectfully,
