Dear Council, Please revisit your decision made on Feb. 3rd, and direct staff to provide you with the pros and cons of Enhanced Services Facilities in single family zones. There is no data to support excluding people with disabilities from these zones, which make up over 85% of Burien’s parcels. The owners of these facilities are well equipped to determine the needs of their own organizations and their Residents with regard to max occupancy and proximity to transit. To make an informed decision you need all of the information. After their own research, our Planning Commission's recommendation included single family zones. To not at least consider the benefits to the Residents, our community, and society would be negligent. Please also make necessary arrangements for DSHS representatives and other experts to provide testimony and respond to Council questions. Sincerely, Nancy Kick pronouns: she/her ————— "So if you leave with only one thing, it must be this: Choose to fight only righteous fights, because then when things get tough — and they will — you will know that there is only option ahead of you.

Dear Council Members, I am writing to ask you to reconsider ESF's in Single Family Zones at your next meeting. If you are unsure, perhaps you could ask DSHS, members of the Planning Commission and other experts to provide information and testimony about the pros and cons of ESF's in single family zones. Over 3/4's of Burien's parcels are single family zones and the owners of ESF's are knowledgeable about the needs of their organizations and their residents. These residents need homes and should be a part of our neighborhoods and our community as a whole. Please reconsider gathering more information and making an informed decision to include ESF's in single family zones. Sincerely, Kathy Hazen

From: Jen Powell <[email protected]>Sent: Wednesday, April 1, 2020 4:46 PMTo: Public - Council Inbox; Susan McLain; Brian WilsonSubject: CTTC - Zoning for ESFs in Burien


Dear City Council, I want to start by thanking you for your consideration of Enhanced Service Facilities in Burien. I wanted to again express my strong support in advocating for an Enhanced Service Facility here if an organization chooses to open one in our city. Though I understand the reservation and fear of some Burien residents, to deny ESFs here would be illegal discrimination and uphold the impression of a compassion-less Burien that I hope we're not. Given that we have a recorded number over over 26% of the population of Washington State with mental disabilities, and only four ESFs in the state, the need for this type of service and facility is desperate. Personally, I want to live in a city that not only doesn't discriminate but also shows grace, kindness and compassion to all, regardless of any sort of "difference" or need. It seems our anti-discrimination laws and policies are clear about this. By restricting zoning, we would be eliminating approximately 85% of land parcels in Burien from consideration, and I believe this type of restriction is another form of redlining. I have done some research into how other ESFs are run, and it seems evident that those who work at and manage these facilities are very capable in keeping areas safe and their facilities well organized. As I'd mentioned to the council before, California cities that attempted to discriminate in zoning for ESF and other forms of treatment facilities were proven to have done so illegally and were required to repeal those laws. They also found a significant decrease in crime rate across the board regarding types of crime in those cities that allowed Enhanced Service Facilities in a non-discriminatory manner.

Access to public transportation, as some have claimed is necessary for these facilities, is an unfounded requirement. Not only are residential neighborhoods also served by local metro transit, there are many other options for people with disabilities, such as ACCESS paratransit services. Additionally, as our mayor has already stated, access to public transit is already very limited in Burien so to restrict it further for ESF sites doesn't make sense to support this argument.

Please do what is safe, what is respectful of human rights, and what is your only legal option under the Fair Housing Act: Vote for unrestricted access for Enhanced Services Facilities. I would also strongly encourage the council to make necessary arrangements for DSHS representatives and other experts to provide testimony and respond to council questions. We are proud that Burien is a leader in Washington State in respecting the dignity of all. Sincerely, Jenifer Powell (Burien resident)

Cydney Moore; Kevin Schilling; Sofia AragonCc: Brian WilsonSubject: CTTC - current issues for the Burien City Council to consider and confront


Please add this to the Correspondence to the Council To the Burien City Council:

1. This is my weekly letter in response to the Councilmember Marx request that residents send to the Council about her

#Shelter Burien agenda. I am opposed to her #ShelterBurien agenda. As she has presented it and discussed it with her

secret Mail Chimp followers, it is an unsustainable agenda. Further, it violates the campaign promises that she made to

collaborate with neighboring cities to share the burdens of homelessness in our region.

2. I noticed at the last Council meeting that Cydney Moore pushed for $200,000 to be given to the Human Services

budget from the city reserve for the Corona Virus emergency. I have major concerns about the monies that are flowing

into to this budget and that their uses/expenditures are not being transparently displayed to the residents at council

meetings. Another example of funding that has been added to this budget is the $30,000 from King County for the

emergency shelters. While I have made a public records request to see the contract that was drawn up and signed with

King County, the city, the church and Catholic Community Services, I have yet to receive any records from the city or

Colleen confirming that a signed contract exists. Was a contact finally signed? And what happens to the money that

was not spent in 2020? Who is accountable for this contract and the remaining money? What can it be used

for? ? What can it not be used for?

Many residents remain concerned that Ms. Marx and Ms. Moore are squirreling these monies away to advance Ms.

Marx’s #ShelterBurien agenda rather than returning it to the city’s reserve fund when the virus emergency is over. And

then having forced the city’s nonprofits out of the Annex, they will take that site over to make it the epicenter of

Southwest King County’s homeless programs and a Heroin Injection Site. This is a site that Cydney Moore wrote lengthy

and copious letters and comments about in 2017 on the B‐Town Blog were she was a contract employed as well as for

other Facebook sites.

3. Certainly in these unpredictable times, the Council should extend the time the nonprofits are allowed to stay in the

Annex as renters. No one at this time is doing real estate business transactions. This council has extended special

privileges to renters on city private property owner’s property because this is a hard time to get new rentals and pay

rents. But it has done nothing to give extended time to these nonprofits facing similar problems. A most interesting

hypocrisy on the part of this Council who claims to want to take the compassionate approach to city business. I

encourage this Council to extend the time to 18 months that these nonprofits can remain renters at the Annex. One of

these renters, Transform Burien, provided 29,000+ meals to the homeless and poor in Burien last year, as well as

showers, a food bank, a clothing bank, laundry services, referrals to other social agencies, job assistance, medical and

dental service providers on site, haircuts, etc. I strongly suggest that some of you get up and go visit this nonprofit and

see what it does for people in this city. The city pays nothing to this nonprofit.

4. Residents do not trust this Council. Regularly, this Council is suspending the rules or altering their meeting

agenda. Suspending the rules is for emergencies only‐things that are immediately and urgently time sensitive and that

5

have come up by surprise to the Council. Likewise changing the agenda is for items that have come up as a surprise

since the agenda was set and published on the Wednesday before the Council meeting the next Monday. Voting during

Working Session meetings of is only to be done for emergencies that have come up. None of these changes are to be

done to pander to a sudden, non‐emergency, brain fart a council member has come up with. All of these surprise

changes are really done to work around residents and businesses and the responses they might have to the council

proposed actions – if they had known about them in advance. Currently this Council is working on the “sneaky fart”

approach to governing. The delusional mentality of some Council members that they “Can do anything they want” is

just that: delusional. The Council can only do things that are within the law.

5. Right now Burien has some Council members that are not operating with good judgement and within the law. Burien

has council members who are:

A. destroying public records

B. involved in criminal activities that have required police and court interventions (See Attachment)

C. lying to the public about Human Resources policies and violating those developed by the city

D. co‐mingling private employment with their sworn Council oaths‐engaging in conflict of interests

E. concealing public information that the public and residents has a right to have access to

F. violating State law involving the State Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) while serving on the Council

G. violating the Burien Comprehensive Plan and

H. violating the Governor’s “ Stay at Home. Stay Safe policy.” As it is stated: Don’t leave home for non‐essential

activities. We have council members going out for non‐essential activities in the community and then bragging and

posting about them on their City Facebook and Twitter sites.

These behaviors along with the Council (as a body) not addressing these transgressions of Council Guidelines and laws

do not generate or support public trust in this council.

6. Residents have a right to a properly functioning web site. The new City website remains a mess after two

years. Residents can’t find important information on the site. Some examples:

A. No clear display of who serves on the Council, email address and phone number. Most residents don’t give a whoop

about some fabricated vita listing party affiliations, Union affiliations or what church a council member attends. They

want to know how to reach (what are supposed to be) non‐partisan Council members.

B. No clear display of the City Staff Directory. Right now the only person listed as a City Staff member on the Staff

Directory page is Brian Wilson with two different email addresses. The rest of the staff is secret and hidden from

view. From the city website:

Staff Directory

You can reach City staff by phone by calling one of the following phone numbers:

Burien City Hall: (206) 241-4647

Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department & Burien Community Center: (206) 988-3700

Moshier Arts Center: (206) 242-7752

Contact City Manager Brian Wilson at [email protected].

Wilson, Brian [email protected]

And the list of website errors goes on. The site is riddles with errors and nonfunctioning pages.

Please insist that this website be corrected and functioning for residents and businesses.

Respectfully,

C. Edgar/Burien taxpayer

Dear Burien City Council, I am a resident of Burien who lives near the Glendale exit. I'm writing as someone who has cared for and helped to rehabilitate an adult who sustained a TBI due to a motorcycle accident. I know first hand the long term demands care for brain injured adults, and I don't know what I would have done if I had children or elderly family to care for simultaneously. People need support such as ESF's to responsible care for our healing friends and neighbors. Please revisit your decision made on Feb. 3rd, and direct staff to provide you with the pros and cons of Enhanced Services Facilities in single family zones.

Dear Council, Please revisit your decision made on Feb. 3rd, and direct staff to provide you with the pros and cons of Enhanced Services Facilities in single-family zones. There is no data to support excluding people with disabilities from these zones, which make up over 85% of Burien’s parcels. One in four Americans will be diagnosed with a mental health condition and presently there is a critical shortage of care facilities for loved ones with chronic conditions. Elderly loved ones experiencing chronic mental health conditions are particularly vulnerable. ESF facilities need to be considered. The owners of these facilities are well equipped to determine the needs of their own organizations and their residents with regard to max occupancy and proximity to transit. To make an informed decision you need all of the information. After their own research, our Planning Commission recommendation included single-family zones.

Please also make necessary arrangements for DSHS representatives, representatives from Seattle and S. King NAMI and other experts to provide testimony and respond to Council questions.

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the City of Burien. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and have verified the contents are safe. Council members, Thank you for your efforts during these difficult times. We support your efforts to protect renters and provide help for the homeless/unemployed. Sales taxes will drop, of course, because businesses have been closed. You will be forced to prioritize expenditures. It will be necessary to keep our core values in mind when allocating funds. These values include: counteracting climate change, providing affordable housing, ensuring a living wage for workers, supporting students, helping the unemployed and homeless, helping those who depend upon social security or small pensions, spending tax receipts locally to keep money in our community, and (of course) maintaining essential city functions. We wish you success in coping with the challenges you are facing. Pamela Jorgensen Sent from my iPad

Dear Burien City Council: I support the requests being made in the attached letter and am asking you to act on the following: 1) Implement a rent zero policy in the city of Burien, 2) advocate for a rent zero policy a the statewide level. Thank you for your time and for your service, David Meade Lake Burien Presbyterian Church

April 6, 2020 Dear Mayor Matta and Members of the Burien City Council, Southwest Youth and Family Services urges you to join the effort to call for an immediate statewide rent zero policy in response to the Covid-19 Pandemic. Our community, first to be hit by the Covid-19 pandemic in the United States, has left our most vulnerable residents with a need for relief now. Our staff work with families who are low income, have virtually no savings and, for many, do not qualify for public assistance because of their immigration status. Many family members have been laid off from work and therefore have no income to support purchasing food, paying their utility bills, and meeting their largest monthly expense, rent. It is critical in this time of crisis that we not contribute to the problem by forcing more families to lose their homes because they cannot afford this monthly expense. SWYFS has initiated a Covid Response Fund to help families on our case load with expenses during this time. This is a small fund that will not be able to meet the overwhelming need. With a $500 limit, in the first two weeks of the fund we have already expended $15,000 on 30 families. This, before the worst of the economic crisis has hit most families. Clearly, our effort won’t be enough. It requires large scale statewide, if not federal, intervention. We are requesting the Burien City Council to partner with state officials to develop and implement a zero rent policy. Quick and decisive intervention is needed. Our community will never recover without it. Sincerely, Steve Daschle Executive Director, Southwest Youth and Family Services We, the undersigned partner organizations, are in support of a zero rent policy.

Plan for Temporary Reallocation of Street-Space

Proposed by residents in:BirchwoodColumbiaFairhavenHappy ValleySouth HillSunnyland

With consultation from:Lennart Nout, MobyconChris Bruntlett, Dutch Cycling EmbassyKelly Morgan

Based on similar plans in:BerlinBogotáCalgaryDenverMinneapolisMexico CityNew York CityPanama CityRio de Janiero

30.March 2020

Social-distancing of 6 feet is required to control the COVID-19 pandemic.

Problems

• Based on similar plans in:BerlinBogotáCalgaryDenverMexico CityPanama CityRio de JanieroVictoria

• Physicalactivityopportunitiesarereduced. Children’s radius of play is reduced. Organized

sports and lessons that promote physical activity are

all unavailable. Gyms are all closed.

Home confinement impacts physical and mental

health. Evidence suggests that when children are out

of school for prolonged periods they are physically

less active, have much longer screen time, irregular

sleep patterns, and less favorable diets, resulting in

weight gain and a loss of cardiorespiratory fitness

(Wang, et al 2020)

• Trailsandsidewalksarebecomingovercrowded.

Outdoor trails and sidewalks are too narrow for pass-

ing with six feet of space. This problem will only get

worse as the weather becomes warmer and sunnier.

• Transitlimitationsrequirepeopleuseothermodes,includingwalkingandbiking,foressentialtrips.

With an increase in people walking and biking,

current sidewalks and bike lanes are not wide enough

to allow for six feet of distance between users.

Users are forced to walk or bike out into lanes of

traffic, creating hazardous conditions.

• Impactisunequallydistributed. Families living in apartments and multifamily housing

do not have yard space and/or ample sidewalk space

for outdoor recreation. This impacts low-income

families more than affluent families who often have a

detached house with a private yard.

Additionally, access to a private vehicle is unequally

distributed by age, socioeconomic status, and disabil-

ity status.

Cydney Moore; Kevin Schilling; Sofia AragonCc: Brian Wilson; Chris CraigSubject: CTTC - No to #Shelter Burien; No to Burien $16 per hour; Climate Change program for

Burien


Please place this letter in Correspondence to the Council To the Burien City Council; 1. Again as Krystal Marx has requested, I am writing to the Council about her #Shelter Burien Agenda. I am opposed to it because, as written, it is unsustainable. And in these monetary hard times, this City doesn't have the resources need to fund it. 2. Again, I am requesting that the Council extend the time that the non-profits can remain in the Annex. 3. I am opposed to the $16 per hour proposal for employers to pay employees in Burien. Again this proposal is not based on research, what the surviving businesses in Burien will be able to afford or on how it will help Burien residents who work in Burien to improve their life in Burien. In the most recent survey that was done in Burien (one that actually had validity and reliability), 25% or less of the residents in Burien actually worked in Burien. Of the 25% or less of the Burien residents who worked in the city, many of those reporting to work in the city were small business owners and their family members working in their family business. At least 60% of Burien residents did not shop or take part on entertainment/recreation activities in the city. Raising the required hourly wage to $16 per hour will not significantly improve the lives of Burien residents because the majority of residents do not work in the city. In fact it will hurt the small businesses in the city. This is a half-baked notion put forth by Cydney Moore who clearly doesn't understand the workforce and small businesses of the city. The proposal for $16 per hour is not based on any solid research about Burien and its resident workforce. 4. On the Climate Change Plan-Council members who do not learn from history are bound to repeat it over and over again-while they waste taxpayer dollars. As a long time resident, I know that previous Councils have worked on components to the Climate Change issues already. The studies and plans that taxpayers have already paid for are sitting on City Hall shelves covered with dust and with very little Council interest in them. And now without reviewing what has already been done, this Council is again planning on hiring another expensive consultant to repeat what is already on the shelves? Frankly, the City Staff attrition and Council attrition has been so great in the last eight years that the city has almost no one who even knows what has been done in the last eight years. This city has had five different City Managers in the last eight years. There is almost no chance for city direction and work continuity as a result. And I know of only one city employee who has worked for the city for 23 years. The majority of city staff are very newcomers. As to Council members, I know of only one sitting Council Member who has been longitudinally involved in what the city has been doing for more than three years.

CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the City of Burien. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and have verified the contents are safe. Dear Mayor and City Council Members, Please consider voting as soon as possible on the ESF issue as the need for this vulnerable group for housing gets more acute by the day. I urge you to accept the evidence that DSHS and others have presented, that ESF clients are carefully screened so that clients are safe within their home facility, can integrate well into the community, and that excluding a facility through restricted zoning would be discriminatory, eliminating some of the only financially viable options to locate in Burien.

From: Claudia Linares <[email protected]>Sent: Monday, April 6, 2020 5:13 PMTo: Public - Council InboxSubject: CTTC - rent freeze now


Dear Mayor Matta and Members of the Burien City Council,

The Burien community and its supporters urge you to join the effort to call for a rent freeze policy at the state level and federal level. The COVID-19 pandemic has ceased the flow of money to our most vulnerable residents. Many family members have been laid off from work and, therefore, have no income to support the purchase of food, paying their utility bills, and meeting their largest monthly expense, rent.

The local organizations and individuals listed and signed in this letter have all initiated responses to the pandemic to meet the needs of our families at this time. As we’ve worked in the first few weeks, it has become clear that we will not be able to meet the growing needs of our community as the pandemic continues to develop.

Currently, a significant number of families we serve no longer have a source of income. In response, SWYFS has initiated a COVID Response Fund to help the families we serve with expenses during this time. This is a small fund that will not be able to meet the overwhelming need. With a $500 limit per family, in the first two weeks of the fund we have already expended $15,000 on 30 families in Southwest King County. This, before the worst of the economic crisis has hit for most people. Clearly, our efforts won’t be enough.

This situation demands a large-scale, statewide, if not federal, intervention. We call on the Burien City Council to issue a proclamation to the State of Washington and federal government in support of the following:

1. Halt all evictions and late fees for both residential and struggling small business renters, including existing and new court filings and proceedings.

2. Halt all home foreclosures, including both existing and new court filings and proceedings.

3. Require landlords, utilities, and residential mortgage-holders to work out payment plans that allow tenants and homeowners who are suffering economically due to the coronavirus epidemic up to 36 months to fulfill their payment obligations. Without reasonable repayment plans and timelines, tenants and homeowners will face crushing debt once the crisis is over.

4. Require all residential landlords to extend expiring leases until at least three months after the end date of the emergency declaration.

Quick and decisive intervention is needed. Our community will never recover without it.

Sincerely,

Claudia Linares

In response, SWYFS has initiated a COVID Response Fund to help the families we serve with expenses during this time. This is a small fund that will not be able to meet the overwhelming need. With a $500 limit per family, in the first two weeks of the fund we have already expended $15,000 on 30 families in Southwest King County. This, before the worst of the economic crisis has hit for most people. Clearly, our efforts won’t be enough. This situation demands a large‐scale, statewide, if not federal, intervention. We call on the Burien City Council to issue a proclamation to the State of Washington and federal government in support of the following: 1. Halt all evictions and late fees for both residential and struggling small business renters, including existing and new court filings and proceedings. 2. Halt all home foreclosures, including both existing and new court filings and proceedings. 3. Require landlords, utilities, and residential mortgage‐holders to work out payment plans that allow tenants and homeowners who are suffering economically due to the coronavirus epidemic up to 36 months to fulfill their payment obligations. Without reasonable repayment plans and timelines, tenants and homeowners will face crushing debt once the crisis is over. 4. Require all residential landlords to extend expiring leases until at least three months after the end date of the emergency declaration. Quick and decisive intervention is needed. Our community will never recover without it. Sincerely, isaura jiménez guerra Written by Steve Daschle and community

COVID-19: An Update to Elected Officials April 7, 2020 The impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak continues to increase in our state. We want to keep our valued elected officials informed on the work MultiCare is doing to address this health crisis. Surge Preparation As part of MultiCare’s surge planning, the organization is introducing a new patient transfer process to handle placement of COVID-19 positive patients in our South Sound hospitals. This new process will improve patient flow and will become the standard transfer process in the region going forward. Starting Monday, March 30, the Medical Triage & Transfer Center (MTTC) assumed full responsibility for patient bed placement within Good Samaritan, Tacoma General, Allenmore, Covington and Auburn hospitals. The MTTC will be staffed 24/7 with physicians, nursing and support personnel. The MTTC team determines which hospital and the appropriate level of care is required for every patient requiring admission. This applies to external transfers, internal transfers, ED patients and the Off-Campus EDs (OCED). Direct admission requests from ambulatory clinics, skilled nursing facilities, and outlying hospitals such a Gray’s Harbor are all coordinated through the MTTC. An MTTC physician accepts the patient, writes ED holding orders and communicate directly with the admitting physician. Coordinators in the MTTC will arrange transportation, and admission communication will be directed to the Hospital Resource Center leaders and team. This triage and transfer model will be implemented in the Inland Northwest Region in the near future. Current COVID-19 Positive Patients at MultiCare This number changes daily, so is being provided for informational purposes only. As of 11am April 6, 2020, MultiCare’s figures for positive COVID-19 are:

• Cumulative confirmed cases tested in Puget Sound Region (PSR): 604 • Cumulative confirmed cases tested in Inland Northwest Region (INW): 63 • Current system inpatient positive cases:

45

o PSR: 85 o INW: 5

Keeping Patients and Employees Safe MultiCare has achieved a number of milestones in our work to keep patients and employees safe while we prepare for an increase in COVID-19 patients. Some of those milestones include:

• N95 Fit testing in the Puget Sound Region. Controlled Air Purifying Respirators (CAPRs) are the Puget Sound Region’s (PSR) primary strategy for protecting staff during aerosol generating procedures. N95 mask fit testing is an adjunct to our program for if CAPR supplies become diminished, or for circumstances in which CAPR access may be limited. In order to provide proper protection for the wearer, N95 masks must be fit tested for each individual. Fit testing at our Puget Sound Region started last week and will continue over the next several weeks for employees who engage in aerosol generating procedures at all affected sites, including campuses, Off Campus EDs (OCEDs), and procedural areas. In the Inland Northwest, N95 masks have been the primary strategy prior to COVID-19 and the vast majority of providers and staff in affected units and clinics have been fit tested already.

• PPE donations continue. MultiCare continues to accept donations of unopened boxes of masks, gloves or

gowns that they would like to donate they can drop them off between 11am and 2pm, Monday through Friday at any of our hospital loading docks. Thanks to our generous community we currently have a good stock of homemade masks and do not require any more at this time. More details are available at https://www.multicare.org/news/donation‐needs‐COVID19/

• Drive through screening facilities in INW. The Spokane medical community, and other partners, came

together to help ease some of the increased patient volume hospitals and clinics are experiencing due to the COVID-19 pandemic by setting up a drive-through screening site at the Spokane Interstate Fairgrounds. Health care professionals from local health care systems, including MultiCare, are staffing the site and screening for signs and symptoms of possible COVID-19 exposure and, if warranted, provide testing for the virus. MultiCare and other systems have also donated testing and other supplies to help support the site. Patients must have a doctor’s referral to be screened at the site.

• PPE conservation and acquisition progress. MultiCare’s diligent work to acquire additional personal

protective equipment (PPE) — and conserve the PPE we have — continues. We are partnering with Costco, Boeing, Visual Options and QA Group in manufacturing much needed PPE. We’ve also seen generous donations from Harbor Freight, Direct Relief and World Vision. Last week we implemented a reprocessing program for N95 masks across our system, that extends their life and allows them to be re-used a number of times before they need to be disposed of.

• Visitors still allowed — with restrictions. MultiCare has placed significant restrictions on visitors to all

our hospitals and outpatient facilities. We continue to allow limited visitors for our patients. Being in the hospital is a stressful and isolating experience and MultiCare believes that it is important when at all possible to allow our patients to have a friend or loved one with them while they are receiving care. We are continually reviewing all our COVID-19 related policies and will further update visitor restriction if necessary. Our full visitor restrictions can be found online. https://www.multicare.org/visitor‐restrictions/

Supporting our Communities

On Friday, April 3, MultiCare announced that it will be donating $1 million to help support other community organizations in Pierce County, South King County and the Inland Northwest region during the COVID-19 crisis, as we recognize that many not-for-profit, locally based organizations that provide irreplaceable support services to their communities are among the hardest hit financially at this time. MultiCare provided The Greater Tacoma Community Foundation $500,000, that will be added to the Pierce County Connected Fund, supporting organizations during COVID-19. The remaining $500,000 will be split evenly between Spokane area and South King County community-based organizations. Additional details are available online: https://www.multicare.org/news/multicare‐donates‐1‐million/ In response to the overwhelming offers of support for MultiCare’s COVID-19 efforts, we also launched the Hope Grows Here Community Project last week and invited the community to join MultiCare in overcoming the challenges of the COVID-19 outbreak by staying connected through art, kindness, caring and service. Featured activities invite connection while inspiring our community and honoring our health care workers. Full details are available online. https://www.multicare.org/hopegrowshere/ For the most current information about MultiCare and COVID-19, visit our COVID-19 Resource Center https://www.multicare.org/covid19/ This is an incredibly challenging time for our families, friends and community.

Dear Mayor Matta,

I hope that your situation is not made too complicated by the crisis that the whole world is facing at the moment.

I would like to introduce myself briefly. My name is Mathieu and I am the co‐founder of https://www.impactdays.co/.

We have been working for 5 years to create the most optimal, easy‐to‐use volunteering platform, which we now

redirected to aiding in these Corona‐times. Our aim is simple: to create an efficient platform that connects both

volunteers and those in need.

A quick explanation:

We are a citizen movement that aims to stimulate volunteering. Personally I have been volunteering my whole my life.

However, we noticed that a lot of people didn’t find their way to volunteering opportunities. Since the beginning of the

Covid‐19 virus, volunteering has become even more crucial. That is why we started with a Corona Help platform for

cities. More than 280 cities in Belgium, France and New Zealand have already signed up!

We were struck by the amount of citizens who currently need help grocery shopping and elderly in retirement homes

who are feeling lonely. Our own mayors are struggling to provide practical assistance to everyone in their municipality.

At the same time, we have noticed that people who are staying at home really want to help others in their

neighborhood.

This is why, out of solidarity, our movement has decided to create platforms for local authorities so that they can

coordinate the requests for help and the volunteers during the crisis. It is entirely free of charge and every local

authority retains control over its own platform. We are trying to help the best way that we can with the know‐how that

we have.

We also foresee that this platform will remain live after corona‐times to strengthen volunteering and aid in your region!

You can very easily create your own local platform on https://www.impactdays.co/ in just a few minutes.

If you would like some more information, you can always contact me on 0032 478/59.34.16 or [email protected].

Let’s spread solidarity faster than the virus!

With kind regards,

Mathieu Jacobs General Coordination [email protected] / [email protected] +32 478/ 59 34 16 www.giveaday.be
