The mayor said the statement was drafted at council request and asked council members whether they wished to sign onto it.

The statement urged community leaders and residents to “stand with us in rejecting hate and promoting inclusivity” and said the administration would continue collaborations with local organizations that champion justice and inclusion. The mayor framed the statement as a message of support for people “feeling targeted and or subjected to forms of discrimination,” including immigrants, LGBTQIA+ residents, veterans, indigenous community members and residents with disabilities.

Several council members expressed support for issuing a statement quickly. Others objected not to the idea of a supportive message but to the process: multiple council members said the statement was handed out to them at the meeting without prior review and asked for time to suggest edits. A number of councilmembers asked that signatures not be presented publicly in a way that could be interpreted as singling out those who declined to sign. The city administrator confirmed draft statements and multiple requests for a statement had been received from different council members and the public; she offered to reprint a version so members who wished to sign could do so after review.

Council debate covered process and legal risk as well as political framing. One council member warned of potential legal or political consequences if the council adopted strongly worded language in the formal comprehensive-plan introduction; another council member said a clear, prompt statement was important to reassure vulnerable residents. Several members suggested producing the mayor’s statement as-is and providing an opportunity for other councilmembers to circulate an alternate or supplemental statement if they chose.

Ending: The meeting ended without a final council vote recorded on the draft statement. Staff said they would reprint the statement and make it available to individual members who wished to sign; councilmembers were free to circulate their own statements as well. No formal council resolution or ordinance was adopted at the meeting.","Mayor read a draft statement affirming support for immigrant, LGBTQIA+, indigenous and other communities.

City staff summarized recent financial analysis (salary survey, workload analysis, municipal financial plan) showing the city remains understaffed and faces limited discretionary general‑fund options. Staff said general-fund reductions would affect police, parks and municipal administration; consultants have advised that finance and core service staffing levels are already thin and that further cuts could present legal and operational risk.

On SRO funding, staff provided background materials including sample interlocal agreements between cities and school districts. The administration said SROs are classified as patrol officers under the city salary table: when school is not in session (for example, summer months) the officer converts to general patrol duty. The city currently shares a percentage of SRO salary through the property-tax levy; staff said precise annual cost depends on the officer’s step on the collective‑bargaining salary table and annual COLA adjustments under the police association agreement.

Councilmembers asked for further information: several asked staff to estimate the impact of potential sales-tax increases on a typical household, and one asked for a per-household estimate of likely revenue. Staff said a municipal consultant would be required to model tax options and that the timeline for placing a ballot measure depends on the council’s target (August primary, November general) and on the city’s ability to secure a consultant and assemble a campaign package. Staff said decisions would need to be made by May for an August placement and by mid‑summer for the November ballot.

Staff also described administrative measures it will pursue before recommending ballot measures: a prioritization exercise for council to identify services to protect or cut, a potential procurement of the state auditor’s Lean Services assistance (to examine internal process efficiencies), and a municipal financial plan and workload analysis to present to council ahead of any ballot decision.

Ending: Staff will prepare a prioritized information packet and a procurement timeline for a consultant; council expects additional work sessions and a retreat discussion before final decisions on ballot measures or specific tax options.","Staff briefed council on revenue options to finance core services and the city’s role in school resource officer (SRO) cost‑sharing; staff said consultant work and financial analysis will be needed before placing measures on an upcoming ballot.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6352237,"Council asked when affordable-housing sales-tax revenue will be discussed; staff says program runs 10 years and partnership model likely",265,35000,300000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2225320-4bf6558b124df4366a0d0b3fdbf9a9c7&start=35&end=300","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2225320-4bf6558b124df4366a0d0b3fdbf9a9c7/thumbnail_35000.jpg","/articles/6352237/Duvall/King-County/Washington/Council-asked-when-affordable-housing-sales-tax-revenue-will-be-discussed-staff-says-program-runs-10-years-and-partnership-model-likely","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6352237-8ab5123d28a838a208ebd7e97328467b/orig.mp4?Expires=1776053209&Signature=Qwy0ywI9KlLmKFPoNOmatNtZxTZE3OhxRd0vQNEkFsHWkLZ37cxuofWQLTY8nVl1th4kjcLRB70g~4fXStAprw3FEgUIT42qz31IJ3SzP8tNmvwYaeM68XBKXkw5~klH-Uc3Pi4HYZTNNUXCy4f0IIYpGwNupmJYNTB7Gu-4eWZA36Aiy~V8FzhccRL7q54SCq4INLAaanlObcd3bXpw~eHgnU1xRj3mzd5mZEirzW4q-EIERQAMh60fXylL4vgJlAPJH1jHYGKWYMky~gCzj~JRCikvSmP9SVzIX8pcjRrDKFyrKtoxbOApVQhcRi7wamI8xSQpiKHpC1cRNCaouw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A council member raised a request Wednesday asking when Duval will discuss how to allocate revenue from the local affordable-housing sales tax. The council member said a Toll Brothers homeowners association had asked about timing and whether the council would consider funding HOA requests.

City administration told council the affordable-housing sales tax is a 10-year program under state statute and that Duval is roughly halfway through that term. Staff said there is no statutory requirement to return collected receipts to taxpayers if they remain unspent, but noted the program was structured as a 10‑year initiative and that the city currently lacks an internal affordable-housing program and staffing to administer one.

Staff clarified key eligibility and administration points raised in the discussion: HOA dues would not meet the program’s income-target eligibility because the statutorily required beneficiaries must be households at or below 60 percent of area median income (AMI); standard HOA dues do not qualify as an affordable-housing subsidy under those rules. Staff said the more likely path would be to partner with a nonprofit housing provider to administer programs funded by the sales tax, unless the city provides greater internal staffing and program capacity.

Administration described the practical process to put a spending item on a council agenda: items for council discussion or action are brought forward via the mayor’s agenda-setting process and the weekly staff-mayor agenda meeting. Staff offered to prepare a response to the Toll Brothers HOA inquiry and to work with the city attorney and housing staff to identify reasonable timing for a policy discussion; no final allocation decision was made.

Ending: Council members asked staff to return with options and clearer timelines. Staff said they could add the item to the council docket when the administration and mayor determine there is adequate staff readiness to bring forward actionable options.","A council member asked when the city will discuss spending its affordable-housing sales-tax revenues; staff said the sales-tax program is a 10-year statutory program (city is five years in), HOA dues will not qualify, and administration expects to partner with nonprofits to administer funds unless staffing levels change.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6352242,"Duval staff propose new manufactured-home category, consolidate residential types on future land use map",11187,704000,11891000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2225320-4bf6558b124df4366a0d0b3fdbf9a9c7&start=704&end=11891","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2225320-4bf6558b124df4366a0d0b3fdbf9a9c7/thumbnail_704000.jpg","/articles/6352242/Duvall/King-County/Washington/Duval-staff-propose-new-manufactured-home-category-consolidate-residential-types-on-future-land-use-map","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6352242-94abe45707aef7ee52a92717151a8bc1/orig.mp4?Expires=1776053209&Signature=Rb~vsZcnHvvb0ibSU7~LMBqmHZ8uAPaJetDLKLdfJxRwClNN3FkmA-ZZZxOS8B1CsgSUmHep2NYvHTShzUk~Jcdu6IslOd0e7ML16weFx8MkvjmviVAecxDgLXgStCP0etpdBcS2pG8jy2qEYZ5j2bWKOcnlsL4S~F8ikCVr-dXnhWGj00cJ3TSsHzLrTYwwoB0RXH4iLhAzvIbsr~aDU6dJNUmJ9InBd~ubZJcvLe7lX55FbeW02H4VnTuUX0z8pSH5X3V05aZf7~EiPx3ngOoVZkcpQ2tys0M4-psOJXbaecQkaiB9SeRV1IC50xBDacAMI7J-smZZmq4gegCyJw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City planning staff presented a revised future land use map Wednesday that would create a new “Manufactured Home Park” designation and consolidate the city’s residential land-use categories into two bands: “residential traditional” (about 4–8 units per acre) and “compact residential” (roughly R12–R20). The presentation framed the changes as updates to the comprehensive-plan process and said the revisions are intended to guide a forthcoming zoning map rather than rezone property immediately.

The proposal matters because the future land use map guides what zoning may be allowed and how the city plans infrastructure, transportation and utilities. Planning staff said the change is not an automatic rezoning; it will inform the zoning map the council will adopt when the comprehensive plan is finalized later this year.

Planning staff described the Manufactured Home Park category as a means to recognize existing parks and help protect them from redevelopment pressure. “We have seen manufactured-home parks come under threat for transition and redevelopment,” planning staff said, explaining the intent is to create an explicit category that can be used to preserve existing, lower-cost housing stock.

The consultants working on the plan described the land-capacity findings that will support the future land use map. The city’s land-capacity analysis (to be published as a technical memorandum and included in the comprehensive-plan materials) shows a shortfall of capacity for certain housing levels: the baseline analysis estimated roughly 1,343 existing units of capacity and an additional need of about 890 housing units over the planning horizon to meet county growth targets. The consultants also estimated a need for roughly 13–17 acres of commercial or mixed-use land to meet job targets, while noting the range depends on the types of businesses that locate in the city.

Several council members and staff discussed how the changes interact with state law and upcoming statutes. Staff said accessory dwelling units (ADUs) are being expanded by state law and that unit-lot subdivision rules will change how infill is developed; staff also noted that ADUs typically are not counted now as units toward state affordability targets. The consultants cautioned that legislative changes and new state directives — including forthcoming requirements that some plan elements be reviewed by the Washington State Department of Commerce — are increasing the complexity of plan implementation.

On process and timing, staff emphasized that the future land use map changes are being advanced as part of the comprehensive-plan update. Staff said the map revisions are intended to improve alignment between the future land use map and the zoning map, to reduce the number of separate land‑use categories displayed on the FLUM and make the zoning implementation more straightforward when the council adopts zoning changes.

The planning team said additional materials (a land-use capacity technical memorandum and interactive map tools) will be provided to council before final action. Councilmembers asked for clarifications on how heritage and tribal history, parks and infrastructure constraints (notably evacuation and transportation constraints discussed in the meeting) would be addressed in implementation steps.

Looking ahead, staff said they will bring follow-up materials (including the technical memorandum and draft policies) to planning commission and council over the coming months. No zoning changes or rezones were approved at this meeting; the session was a policy presentation and discussion as part of the comprehensive plan update process.

Ending: The city’s planning staff and consultants framed the map edits as preparatory steps for the comprehensive-plan adoption later this year, with additional technical memos to come. Council members requested more detail on capacity calculations, how the Manufactured Home Park designation would be implemented on specific sites, and how state law changes will affect local code updates.","City planners proposed changes to the future land use map that would create a distinct Manufactured Home Park category and reduce residential categories to two bands to guide the comprehensive-plan update and zoning map later this year.","actionData","errors"]
