I'M CURIOUS WHETHER THIS WORKGROUP WOULD ALSO INCLUDE LANDLORDS , SMALL, LARGE AND NONPROFIT. >> MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE SPONSOR'S INTENT WAS THAT THERE WOULD BE A BROAD RANGE OF STAKEHOLDERS, BOTH TENANTS AND -- >> COUNCILMEMBER MORALES , AND SPONSOR, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >> THANK YOU. THANK YOU COUNCILMEMBER MOORE. THE INTENT IS TO MAKE SURE WE ARE CONVENING, NOT JUST TENANTS, BUT ALSO LANDLORDS ACROSS THE SPECTRUM SO WE CAN REALLY START TO DIVE INTO SOME OF THE CHALLENGES BETWEEN TENANTS AND LANDLORDS AND REALLY START TO UNDERSTAND HOW TO MOVE FORWARD AND ALL THE OTHER TENANT SERVICES WORK THAT IS HAPPENING AROUND DE-ESCALATION AND UNDERSTANDING OBLIGATIONS. FOR BOTH SIDES. >> OKAY. I CAN TALK TO YOU OFF-LINE. JUST WONDERING IF MAYBE WE CAN WORK ON A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT TO MAKE THAT CLEAR. THE WAY IT READS TO ME NOW IS IT IS VERY TENANT FOCUSED. CREATING AN OFFICE TO ENFORCE CURRENT LAWS, ESTABLISHING NEW LAWS , REQUIREMENTS AND STANDARDS RELATED TO RENTERS. I VERY MUCH SHARE THE DESIRE TO BRING ALL THE STAKEHOLDERS TOGETHER AND REALLY ENGAGE IN CONVERSATION AND LOOK AT HOW WE CAN MAKE IT HEALTHY AND THRIVING MARKET. I THINK THERE ARE ISSUES AROUND HABITABILITY THAT NEED TO BE DEALT WITH TOO. MAYBE WE CAN HAVE SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. BACK TO YOU. >> NOTHING MORE TO ADD. >> YOU HAVE STUNNED US ALL INTO SILENCE. RATE. DO WE HAVE ONE MORE? >> ESTE HR , INCREASE BY $307,000 GENERAL FUND IN 2025 AND $389,000 GENERAL FUND 2026 AND ADD 1.5 FTE TO RESTORE THE WORKFORCE EQUITY DIVISION. >> THANK YOU. VICE CHAIR RIVERA. >> THANK YOU. I JUST HAVE A QUESTION , OR COUNCILMEMBER MORALES, ABOUT WHAT THIS WORKFORCE EQUITY DIVISION DOES OR DID. I KNOW THAT ST HR -- ST HR ALWAYS HAS A FOCUS ON EQUITY, INCLUDING IN THE WORKFORCE, SO I'M WONDERING WHAT THIS DIVISION DOES THAT THE DEPARTMENT DOESN'T ALREADY AND HAVING ENGAGE WITH THEM ON MANY HIRES, I KNOW THEY DO THIS ROBUST ON THE EQUITY PIECE. CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS? >> COUNCILMEMBER MORALES, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. I AM HAPPY TO SHARE ADDITIONAL CONTEXT AFTER YOU . >> SURE. YES, THE DEPARTMENT DOES THE WORK, IN PART, BECAUSE THERE IS THIS WORKFORCE EQUITY DIVISION, AND ACROSS THE CITY WE KNOW WE HAVE DEPARTMENTS THAT ARE WORKING TO ENSURE THAT THE HIRING PROCESS, THE PROMOTION PROCESSES, THE MANAGEMENT PROCESSES THAT ARE -- THAT DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS HAVE OUR MEETING THE VERY HIGH STANDARDS FOR ENSURING THAT WE ARE ENGAGING IN PRACTICES THAT KEEP OUR WORKERS SAFE AND IN ENVIRONMENT THAT IS NOT HOSTILE. THERE IS WORK FOR US TO CONTINUE TO DO TO SUPPORT ALL OF OUR CITY DEPARTMENTS. THIS IS WORK THAT , ACROSS THE CITY, STAFFERS WHO HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF ENSURING THAT WE ARE ABIDING BY OUR RACE AND SOCIAL JUSTICE INITIATIVE, FOR EXAMPLE, ARE -- HAVE THAT WERE ADDED ON TOP OF THEIR REGULAR WORK, AND SO, THE CENTRALIZED HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT IS KEY TO MAKING SURE THAT THROUGHOUT THE CITY OUR WORKERS ARE PROTECTED . I THINK WE ALL KNOW THAT SEVERAL OF OUR DEPARTMENTS HAVE HAD LAWSUITS FILED AGAINST THEM FOR DISCRIMINATORY PRACTICES , AND THAT IS A KEY PART OF WHAT THIS DIVISION OF FOLKS WILL DO. >> PREVENTS THE BEHAVIOR. >> WHICH I KNOW IS OFFICE OF CIVIL RIGHTS DOES AS WELL. I CAN GET MORE INFORMATION LATER SO WE CAN KEEP GOING. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, VICE CHAIR. DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO ADD BACK >> JUST BRIEFLY, THIS DIVISION, CREATIVE WORKFORCE EQUITY PLAN THIS YEAR. IT WAS PUBLISHED WITH THE INTENT THAT WOULD MANAGE AT A CITYWIDE LEVEL EFFORTS ON WORKFORCE EQUITY. AND UNDER THE MAYOR'S PROPOSED BUDGET, THE DIVISION WOULD BE REMOVED , AND THAT WORK WOULD BE DEVOLVED ONTO EACH DEPARTMENT. >> I THINK THE LAST POINT IS CRITICAL. THIS IS A RESTORATION OF A CUT RATHER THAN A NET ADDITION. IT WAS GOING TO DISSOLVE THIS UNIT WITH THE INTENT THAT THE INDIVIDUAL DEPARTMENTS WOULD TAKE UP THESE RESPONSIBILITIES. >> COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR. AM I HEARING YOU RIGHT THAT THE WORKFORCE EQUITY DIVISION HAD BEEN PUT IN PLACE TO DO THIS PLAN, AND NOW THAT THE PLAN HAS -- NO? >> TO DO THE PLAN AND TO MANAGE WORKFORCE EQUITY ISSUES ACROSS THE CITY. >> A SUNSET COUNTRY. AT ITS CREATION, IT WAS INTENDED TO CONTINUE WITH THE EFFORT TO SPEND LESS MONEY. THE EXECUTIVE THOUGHT TO DEVELOP THE PLAN TO REORGANIZE THE FUNCTION, AND ESSENTIALLY TO SPREAD IT AMONG THE DEPARTMENTS RATHER THAN HAVE IT CENTRALIZED. >> TO MAKE SURE THAT THE DEPARTMENT IMPLEMENTED IT RATHER THAN HAVE ASKED -- SD HR TO MAKE SURE THE DEPARTMENTS WERE ACTUALLY IMPLEMENTING THIS. >> YES. AND CONTINUING TO ADVANCE THE ISSUES GENERALLY SO THE PLAN WOULD NOT INHERENTLY BE STATIC. >> THANK YOU FOR THE CLARITY. >> COUNCIL PRESIDENT. >> MY QUESTION HAS BEEN ANSWERED. >> THANK YOU.

IT IS PART OF THAT GREAT WORK, ATTENTION TO DETAIL THAT I REALLY APPRECIATE . I JUST WANTED TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HIGHLIGHT THAT AND THANK THE TEAM AT CENTRAL STAFF, REALLY APPRECIATE HIS SUPPORT . >> THANK YOU. LET'S MOVE OVER TO PARKS AND RECREATION. I SEE TRACY IN THE AUDIENCE. I KNOW KARINA IS DOING IT BECAUSE THERE'S BAD NEWS ON THE HORIZON, BUT LUCKILY IT IS NOT RELATED TO THE ECONOMIC FORECAST, I AM HOPING. BACK TO YOU. >> GOOD AFTERNOON COUNCIL MEMBERS. COUNCIL CENTRAL STAFF. NOT ENTIRELY ABLE TO FILL THE SEAT OF TRACY. BUT GIVING IT A GO. I'M HERE TO SHARE THE PROPOSED BUDGET AMENDMENTS FOR SEATTLE PARKS AND RECREATION. THE FIRST ONE IS SPR 002, INCREASE SPR BITE 1.5 MILLION REAL ESTATE EXCISE TAX ONE CAPITAL FUND 2025 FOR A SYNTHETIC TURF CONVERSION OF A BALL FIELD INFIELD AT GARFIELD PLAYFIELD.

THAT IS ALL FOR THE SPR AMENDMENTS IN GROUP A. >> THANK YOU. COLLEAGUES, ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON PARKS AND RECREATION? THAT HAS BROUGHT US TO THE END OF GROUP A. >> THERE IS ONE MORE. SORRY. >> INCREASE SPU BY $150,000 ALWAYS FUND 2025 $150,000 CELEBES FUND 2026 FOR TEXTILE WASTE PREVENTION BY ORGANIZATION SUPPORTING REFUGEE AND IMMIGRANT WOMEN. SPONSORED BY COUNCILMEMBER WOO. >> WONDERFUL. I THINK WE ARE NOW DONE WITH SECTION A WE DID IT IN ONE HOUR INSTEAD OF TWO. GOOD JOB, T. LET'S KEEP ON TRACK. WE ARE GOING TO GO INTO B. ONE ITEM. THAT WE DO C AND D. THIS IS WHERE WE ARE GOING TO START CHANGING. EVERYTHING UP UNTIL NOW WAS PRESENTED IN THE CHAIR'S PACKAGE IN SOME FORM. WE ARE NOW MOVING INTO THE SECTION WHERE THINGS ARE BEING SPOKEN ABOUT FOR THE FIRST TIME. THIS IS NOT THE TIME IN OUR BUDGET CALENDAR TO HAVE EXPONENTIAL CONVERSATION . RATHER, IT IS SIMILAR TO WHEN WE PRESENTED THE CHAIR'S PACKAGE WHEN I WOULD SAY ABOUT ONE LINE ABOUT EVERYTHING OR COUNCIL MEMBERS WITH A ONE LINE ABOUT THEIR ITEM. WERE TRYING TO KEEP IT , AGAIN, IF CENTRAL STAFF PRESENTS FOR A MINUTE AND COUNCIL MEMBERS SPEAK FOR A MINUTE, THAT WILL BE ONE HOUR AND A HALF OF CONVERSATION. THAT WOULD BRING US RIGHT TO FOUR P.M., WHICH IS THE TECHNICAL ADJOURNMENT, BUT WE HAVE UNTIL 6:00 P.M. RESERVED. IT IS OUR LIVES, I GUESS. WITH THAT, LET'S MOVE ON TO SECTION B. WE TO SEE YOU AGAIN. >> I AM HERE FOR HSD 002, THIS IS AN ALTERNATIVE OR ANOTHER OPTION FOR SOMETHING THAT WAS IN THE BALANCING PACKAGE. THIS IS ANOTHER OPTION TO HSD 001 . THESE ARE MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE OPTIONS. THIS PARTICULAR OPTION PROVIDES FUNDING FOR NON-CONGREGANT SHELTER , SIMILAR TO HSD 002, OR 002 A, AND INCREASES HSD BY 3.2 GENERAL FUND IN 2025 AND 2.7 GENERAL FUND IN 2026 TO SUPPORT THE STARTUP AND OPERATIONS OF TWO NON-CONGREGANT SHELTER. BUT UNDER THE CBA, THERE IS A PROVISO THAT SAYS THAT FUNDING MUST BE USED TO SUPPORT THE STARTUP AND OPERATIONS OF TWO NEW TINY HOUSE VILLAGES. IT LIMITS USE OF FUNDING EXCLUSIVELY TO SHELTER THAT UTILIZES TINY HOUSES SUCH AS THOSE PRODUCED BY SOUND FOUNDATIONS NORTHWEST . IT PRECLUDES ANY OTHER TYPE OF SHELTER BEING FUNDED THROUGH THE FUNDING IN THE CBA, SUCH AS TINY HOUSE VILLAGES THAT UTILIZE PALLET SHELTERS OR SHELTER OFFERED AT OTHER TYPES OF BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES. ADDITIONALLY, IT CONTINUES STASH IT HAS THE SAME LANGUAGE AS HSD 002 A AROUND HIGH IMPACT AREAS, BUT GOES ON TO DEFINE WHAT A HIGH IMPACT AREA IS. IN THAT CASE, IT SAYS THAT A HIGH IMPACT AREA IS ONE THAT IS CONSISTENTLY HAS SUBSTANTIAL ENCAMPMENTS SUCH AS DOWNTOWN, LITTLE SAIGON, LAKE CITY OR CROWNE HILL. >> THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER MOORE, YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR. SO YES, MY AMENDMENT -- THANK YOU FOR THAT AND ALL YOUR WORK ON THIS AS WELL. SORRY. IT DOES SET ASIDE THE SAME DOLLAR AMOUNT FOR NON-CONGREGANT SHELTER , BUT AS STATED, IT WAS PROVISO THESE SPECIFICALLY FOR TINY HOME VILLAGES. I DO BELIEVE THAT THIS LANGUAGE BETTER REPRESENTS WHAT MY ASK WAS IN THE BALANCING PACKAGE. UNDERSTAND THAT SOME COUNCIL MEMBERS MAY PREFER THESE DOLLARS TO BE OPEN TO ANY POSSIBLE NON-CONGREGANT SHELTER, SUCH AS HOTELS AND PALLET SHELTERS, MASTER LEASING. BUT IN MY CAPACITY AS A REPRESENTATIVE ON THE GOVERNING BOARD, ARE YOU MOST CONFIDENT ABOUT THE RESULTS WE ARE SEEING FROM THE TINY HOUSE VILLAGE MODEL. I DO CONSIDER IT TO BE TRANSITIONAL HOUSING IN A WAY THAT PALLET SHELTERS AND HOTELS ARE NOT. THEY ALSO TEND TO HAVE WRAPAROUND SERVICES THAT THOSE OTHER PLACES DO NOT. I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO PROVISO THE MONEY, BECAUSE HISTORICALLY, HAS NOT BEEN SUPPORTIVE OF TINY HOUSE VILLAGES. I WANT TO CALL THAT OUT IN PARTICULAR SO THAT THE MONEY ISN'T GOING ELSEWHERE I THINK WHEN WE HAVE HEARD PUBLIC COMMENT, WE HAVE HEARD LOUD AND CLEAR THAT PEOPLE ARE REQUESTING TINY HOUSE VILLAGES THAT I KNOW IN MY WEEKLY MEETINGS WITH THE UNIFIED CARE TEAM THAT THEY HAVE THE MOST SUCCESS WITH PEOPLE AGREEING TO LEAVE ENCAMPMENTS IF THEY HAVE A PLACE AT THE TINY HOUSE VILLAGE. I AM CERTAINLY SUPPORTIVE OF LOOKING AT TRYING TO HAVE MORE MONEY FOR HOTELS , MASTER LEASING. I KNOW WE HAVE A SLI OUR MASTER LEASING. I'M VERY MUCH SUPPORTIVE OF THAT, BUT I THINK WHAT WE NEED RIGHT NOW IS MORE MONEY DIRECTED PARTICULARLY TO TINY HOUSE VILLAGES. THAT IS WHY I AM BRINGING THIS. THANK YOU, CHAIR. >> COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR STRAUSS. I RECOGNIZE THIS ORIGINAL NON-CONGREGANT ITEM IN THE GROUP BUDGET COMMITTEE. BUT I, AND MY TEAM, WORKED THIS EXTENSIVELY. WE WORKED WITH A WHOLE HOST OF ORGANIZATIONS FROM CATHOLIC COMMUNITY SERVICES TO CACR HA, THE MAYOR UP HIS OFFICE. DEPUTY MAYOR WASHINGTON. AND SPOKE TO PRIVATE DEVELOPERS AND NON-PROFITS , IN ADDITION TO LEHIGH FOUNDATION NORTHWEST. AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF COORDINATION AND OUTREACH TO ALL THESE GROUPS. HAVE TO ACTUALLY THINK TOO FOR ALL THE SUPPORT USE OF PIRATED -- PROVIDED MY STAFF ON THIS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IDEA IS TO INCREASE NON-CONGREGANT HOUSING . I THINK THIS HAS BEEN WELL THOUGHT OUT. IT DOES NOT NEED TO BE SUBSTITUTED BY THIS GROUP B NUMBER . I ASKED FOR MY COLLEAGUES SUPPORT ON THAT. THINK VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU. >> COUNCILMEMBER MOORE, I WANTED CLARIFICATION OF SOMETHING YOU JUST SAID. DID YOU JUST SAY THAT THAT YOU MENTIONED PALLET HOMES IN THE TINY HOMES ARE BETTER. I THINK THAT IS WHAT YOU SAID. CAN YOU EXPLAIN? DID I MISUNDERSTAND YOU? >> MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE PALLET SHELTERS IS THAT THEY ARE MORE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE. WE'VE HAD A NUMBER OF FIRES. THEY ALSO DON'T HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF SERVICES THAT COME WITH THEM THAT LEHIGH PROVIDES WITH THE TINY HOUSE VILLAGES AND OTHER PROVIDERS. >> I AM NOT ARGUING AGAINST PALLET SHELTERS. ARGUING IN FAVOR OF TINY HOUSE VILLAGES. I APPRECIATE THAT SORRY. >> KWEI -- QUICK POINT OF ORDER. READING OFF MY SHOULD -- SHEET OF RULES. TECHNICALLY, WE ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO DIRECTLY SPEAK TO ANOTHER MEMBER. YOU ARE TO SPEAK THROUGH THE CHAIR TO ANOTHER MEMBER I KNOW THIS IS WEIRD AND TECHNICAL. COUNCIL PRESIDENT, DO YOU HAVE ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? >> COULD YOU PLEASE CONVEY MY QUESTION TO COUNCILMEMBER MOORE THAT I WAS JUST WONDERING IF , WHEN YOU SAID THAT WRAPAROUND SERVICES, TO PALLET SHELTERS REQUIRE DIFFERENT KINDS OF OPERATORS FOR THE OPERATING SERVICE PROVIDERS? >> GOOD QUESTION. I SEE JENNIFER HAS A GOOD ANSWER FOR YOU. >> I WILL JUST GIVE YOU ONE EXAMPLE. I THINK I'M GOING TO HAVE TO RESPECTFULLY MAYBE DISAGREE WITH YOU, COUNCILMEMBER MOORE. CATHOLIC COMMUNITY SERVICES, FOR EXAMPLE, OPERATES THE BRIDGE SHELTER, WHICH DOES UTILIZE PALLET SHELTERS. IT IS ALSO A TINY HOUSE VILLAGE. USES A DIFFERENT MODULAR UNIT TO PROVIDE THE SHELTER. BRIDGE HOUSING IS AN EXAMPLE OF A SHELTER THAT DOES PROVIDE INTENSIVE WRAPAROUND SERVICES SIMILAR , OR EVEN MORE SO, THEN SOME OF THE OTHER TINY HOUSE VILLAGES TO SERVE SOME OF THE HIGHEST ACUITY, HIGHEST NEED INDIVIDUALS IN THE CITY. I THINK THE FORM IN TERMS OF THE TYPE OF SHELTER IS ONE QUESTION, AND THE LEVEL OF SERVICES IS A SEPARATE QUESTION. BUT THE FORM DOES NOT NECESSARILY DICTATE WHAT THE LEVEL OF SERVICES WILL BE THAT ARE OFFERED. >> WELL SAID. COUNCIL PRESIDENT, ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? I ALWAYS HAD A FUN ONE WITH THE ELKS LODGE WHERE WE WOULD SAY CHAIR , THROUGH YOU TO FILL IN THE BLANK THEM AND THEN YOU MAKE A STATEMENT. OVER TO YOU, VICE CHAIR. >> KLAQ, CHAIR. JENNIFER, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING OUR QUESTIONS. THIS PIECE ON UNSHELTERED PEOPLE IN HIGH IMPACT AREAS, ET CETERA, THEN IT CALLS OUT SUCH AS DOWNTOWN, LITTLE SAIGON, LAKE CITY AND CROWNE HILL. THIS IS NOT AN EXHAUSTIVE LIST, CORRECT? BECAUSE I AM THINKING, FOR INSTANCE, IN THE UNIVERSITY DISTRICT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE, AS YOU KNOW, THAT ARE IN NEED OF THIS TYPE OF HOUSING. COULD PROVIDE A NEED FOR THEM. SORRY. I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY. >> THE SPONSOR SHOULD FIX THAT SPEAK TO THIS WE. INTENDED TO SET ASIDE THE ALL THE UNITS, BUT A PERCENTAGE OF THE UNITS. AS WRITTEN, THE INTENTION WAS NOT TO BE AN EXHAUSTIVE LIST, BUT REALLY TO HAVE THAT LIST INFORMED BY UNIFIED CARE TEAM DATA. THING SUCH AS IS ILLUSTRATIVE. THE SPONSOR MAY HAVE MORE TO ADD. >> COUNCILMEMBER MOORE? WOULD YOU LIKE TO SHARE MORE? >> NO. >> OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE? >> JUST TO THANK COUNCILMEMBER MOORE FOR THAT AD -- THE PIECE ABOUT THE DATA. I AM VERY DATA-DRIVEN. SUPER APPRECIATE THAT BEING IN HERE. INC. YOU FOR INCLUDING IT. >> I HAVE MAYBE TWO QUESTIONS. ONE QUESTION AND ONE STATEMENT. THE STATEMENT BEING THAT WE REMOVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD SPECIFICITY IN THE UNDERLYING AMENDMENT FOR THE ISSUES THAT VICE CHAIR RIVERA RAISED . IF WE STARTED NAMING NAMES, THE LIST WOULD BE LONGER THAN THIS BUDGET. JENNIFER, THE QUESTION HERE IS, THE GOALS THAT COUNCILMEMBER MOORE HAS DESCRIBED , ARE THEY ABLE TO BE ACHIEVED WITHIN THE UNDERLYING AMENDMENT THAT IS BROADER? IS THERE A CHANGE I AM NOT READING? >> I THINK THE GOALS I'VE HEARD DESCRIBED, WHICH ARE TO BE ABLE TO OFFER SERVICES TO PEOPLE , AND ULTIMATELY, TRANSITIONED INTO PERMANENT HOUSING, ARE POSSIBLE UNDER BOTH AMENDMENT OPTIONS. THE OPERATING BUDGET WAS CRAFTED TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS A NECESSARY LEVEL OF SERVICES. I BELIEVE IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE UNDER BOTH OPTIONS. >> MY FINAL STATEMENT, AND THEN HE PASS IT OVER TO COUNCILMEMBER MOORE, IS THAT WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT TO ME IS THAT WE ARE FUNDING NON-CONGREGANT SHELTER THAT HAS WRAPAROUND SERVICES THAT IS FOUR WALLS AND THE PERSON CAN LOCK . THAT IS WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT TO ME. OVER TO YOU . >> THANK YOU. I THINK IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT WE ARE BASICALLY DISAGREEING WITH ONE ANOTHER WHEN TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH THE ULTIMATE SAME GOAL. WHAT I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT THE WAY THE -- AND I APPRECIATE THE OUTREACH THAT WAS DONE . BUT THE WAY THAT THE ORIGINAL BILL IS WRITTEN IS THAT IT IS UP TO TWO NEW NON-CONGREGANT SHELTERS OR NET NEW BEDS AT EXISTING NON-CONGREGANT SHELTERS. THAT LEAVES THE ROOM OPEN FOR PALLET SHELTERS, WHICH CAN BE FINE FOR CATHOLIC COMMUNITY SERVICES DOES A WONDERFUL JOB. IT ALSO LEAVES ROOM OPEN TO HOTELS. I THINK WE HAVE SEEN THAT HOTELS HAVE NOT WORKED VERY WELL. WE HAVE HAD A WOMAN WHO BASICALLY , BECAUSE OF HER DRUG ADDICTION, HER BABY DIED THROUGH NEGLECT. SHE WAS IN A HOTEL. WE KNOW THAT TINY HOUSE VILLAGES WORK . WE KNOW THAT THE SERVICES THEIR WORK. WE ALSO KNOW THAT THIS MONEY IS BEING PROVISO . WE ALSO KNOW THE HISTORY OF KCRHA, WHICH IS THAT THEY HAVE BEEN HOSTILE TO TINY HOUSE VILLAGES. THE REASON THAT -- I WISH I HAD BEEN ABLE TO BRING AN AMENDMENT TO SAY, AND ADDITIONAL SHELTER , BECAUSE CERTAINLY NOT TRYING TO PREVENT CATHOLIC COMMUNITY SERVICES . TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN THIS MONEY GETS SENT TO KCRHA, THEY ACTUALLY USE IT FOR TINY HOUSE VILLAGES, WHETHER BUILT BY CATHOLIC COMMUNITY SERVICE OR RUN BY LEHIGH , I DON'T CARE. BUT THEY NEED TO BE TINY HOUSE VILLAGES, NOT HOTELS. THANK YOU. >> I SEE COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE. THAT LAST STATEMENT YOU MADE IS VERY HELPFUL FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS NOT DESIRED. BECAUSE I AGREE WITH YOU ABOUT HOTELS. IT WAS A GOOD STOPGAP DURING THE PANDEMIC WHEN HOTELS WEREN'T BEING RENTED BY TOURISTS AND WE HAD PEOPLE ON THE STREET. THE QUESTION HERE IS , YOU KNOW, I ALSO LOOK AT LAKEFRONT SHELTER THAT IS ALSO IN D 5, WHICH IS NON-CONGREGANT, BUT NEITHER PALLET NOR TINY HOME. I'VE HAD MANY REQUESTS FOR PEOPLE TO GET IN THERE. IS THAT SOMETHING THAT IS ACCEPTABLE WITHIN WHAT YOU ARE THINKING? >> YES. IT SOUNDS LIKE WE ARE ALL CERTAINLY ROUNDED THE SAME THING. COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE. JENNIFER, I MIGHT AS WE ALL WORK TOGETHER TO DO HER BEST TO COME TO CONSENSUS SOMEWHERE AROUND HERE. I'M GOING TO REALLY TRY TO DERIVE THE QUAKER VALLEYS IN THIS ONE. >> THANK YOU. THE FIRST POINT I WANTED TO MAKE IS THAT I HAVE BEEN A CHAMPION OF THE TINY HOUSE VILLAGES CONCEPT FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS BUT USUALLY COMING FROM A BIG SAFETY PERSPECTIVE. I HAVE BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE OF THE SALMON BAY VILLAGE PROJECT BECAUSE OF CHALLENGES WE FACE WITH RVs OF PUBLIC SAFETY CHALLENGES FROM THAT AS WELL. I SHOULD ALSO NOTE , I DID NOT MEET WITH -- I DID MEET WITH THE NEW KCRHA CHIEF, AND I DO BELIEVE STARTING NOW WE HAVE A VERY DIFFERENT KCRHA. UNDERSTAND THE NEED TO KEEP OUR OVERSIGHT AND TO ENSURE THAT THOSE CHANGES ARE IN PLACE. BUT I ALSO REMEMBER THE HOMELESSNESS COALITION . WHEN I WAS TALKING -- ALL THESE GROUPS I MEET WITH , YOU KNOW, WE WERE TALKING LIKE THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. ONE OF THE POINTS I HAVE BEEN MAKING IS THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE A VERY -- VARIED TYPES OF HOUSING. THE RESPONSE I GOT FROM THE COALITION WAS, BY THE WAY, WE NEED VARIED TYPES AT THIS END TOO. AND SO, PART OF THE THING THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT WITH THIS , AS MUCH AS I AM A BIG SUPPORTER OF TINY HOMES , TINY HOUSE VILLAGES, I'M ALSO KEEPING IN THE BACK OF MY MIND ALL THOSE ADVOCATES FROM THE HOUSING COMMUNITY WHO SPEAK TO THAT AND THE IDEA THAT WE SHOULD HAVE A VERY -- VARIED TYPES OF HOUSING TOO DUE TO THE VARYING REQUIREMENTS WE HAVE . I JUST WANTED TO CLOSE ON THAT AND TO NOTE AGAIN THAT SUPPORT OF THE TINY HOME VILLAGES , INITIALLY THERE WAS A CARVEOUT FOR THIRD AVENUE AND THE LIKE, AND THESE ARE VERY IMPORTANT DUE TO THE UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE IDEA THAT YOU CAN HAVE A PET, YOU CAN HAVE A PARTNER. ALL THOSE THINGS THAT HANG UP SO MANY THINGS TINY HOME VILLAGES TO TO PROVIDE A PATH FORWARD FOR US. VERY HELPFUL, BOTH ON THE HUMAN SERVICES PARK, AS I TALKED ABOUT EARLIER, BUT ALSO HUGE ON THE PUBLIC SAFETY SIDE. THANK YOU. >> COUNCILMEMBER MOORE, ANY LAST WORDS? I'M JUST GOING TO SAY THAT IN PAST BUDGET YEARS GROUP B HAS BEEN VERY EXTENSIVE . THE NUMBER OF AMENDMENTS THAT WERE IN CONFLICT WITH ONE ANOTHER WERE MUCH -- WHAT I AM APPRECIATING ABOUT THIS IS THE SPACE BETWEEN COUNCILMEMBER MOORE IN THE ORIGINAL AMENDMENT IS ALMOST NOTHING. AND USUALLY DURING THE SECTION THERE IS EXTENSIVE FIGHTING. I'M CALLING OUT MY APPRECIATION FOR COLLEAGUES. SEE NO OTHER QUESTIONS ON GROUP B. WE WILL MOVE TO GROUP C. AM I READING THIS CORRECTLY? THANK YOU, JENNIFER. WE WILL FOLLOW-UP . OVER TO YOU. >> COUNSEL CENTRAL STAFF. THE FIRST ITEM ON GROUP C IS CARE 101, A STATEMENT OF LEGISLATIVE INTENT THAT WOULD REQUEST THE CARE DEPARTMENT CREATE A COMMUNITY CRISIS RESPONSE PUBLIC DATA DASHBOARD AND REQUEST REPORTING ON -- FROM THE CARE DEPARTMENT ON THE SEATTLE RESTORATION PROGRAM. BOTHARDATA REQUEST WOULD BE DUE NO LATER THAN JUNE 30, 2025. THIS IS SPONSORED BY HEALTH A MEMBER RIVERA, COSPONSORED BY COUNCIL MEMBERS KETTLE AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT NELSON. >> THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED . >> THANK YOU, CHAIR. COLLEAGUES, THIS IS A GOOD GOVERNANCE PIECE AND ACCOUNTABILITY PIECE FOR ME. IT IS A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT IN THAT I HAVE TALKED TO THE MAYOR UP HIS OFFICE BUT THEY HAVE BEEN SUPPORTIVE OF GATHERING THE INFORMATION FROM THE CARE DEPARTMENT. I THINK THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT GIVEN THE CHALLENGES WITH ANSWERING THE NONEMERGENCY LINE AT THE 911 CALL CENTER. SUCH AS HAVING A DASHBOARD WHERE WE SEE WHAT THE NUMBER OF CALLS ARE COMING IN, HOW THEY ARE GETTING RESPONDED TO, IS THE POINT HERE. I THINK THAT IS IMPORTANT FOR TRANSPARENCY SAKE. AND THEN, ALSO, ON THE SEATTLE RESTORATION PROGRAM, DIRECTOR IS A NEW POSITION. REALLY ASKING FOR INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT THAT DIRECTOR WILL DO AND WHAT THE WORK PLAN IS IS THE INTENT HERE. THANK YOU . >> IT. RUSSIANS OR COMMENTS? -- QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? >> GOOD AFTERNOON. COUNCIL CENTRAL STAFF. THIS ITEM IS SPONSORED BY COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE. IT WOULD INCREASE THE SEATTLE BY TWO FDE GARDENER POSITIONS FOR WATERFRONT PARK. THEY ASK US TO HAVE THE POSITIONS AVAILABLE TO GO ALONG WITH THE COMPLETION AND OPENING OF MORE AREAS OF WATERFRONT PARK. THE PARK IS MANAGED BY THE SEATTLE CENTER CURRENTLY THERE ARE TWO EARNERS EMPLOYED IN THE MAINTENANCE OF THESE AREAS. NO NEW APPROPRIATIONS WOULD CORRESPOND WITH THESE NEW POSITIONS. INSTEAD, THE CENTER WOULD REALLOCATE FUNDS THAT THEY HAVE IN THE PROPOSED BUDGET. >> THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE, A SPONSOR, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR STROUDSBURG ESSENTIALLY, IN A WAY, THIS IS A TECHNICAL FIX. THE CENTRAL WATERFRONT OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE NOTED THIS AND BROUGHT IT TO MY ATTENTION. SO I THANK THEM FOR THAT. AND FOR THEM TO DO THEIR JOB. WITH COORDINATOR WITH SEATTLE CENTER. OF COURSE, MR. FOSTER IS SUPPORTED. BOTTOM LINE, WE HAVE DONE SO MUCH INVESTMENT ON WATERFRONT PARK WITH OVERLOOK WALK AND EVERYTHING ELSE, THE AQUARIUM. WITH THE FRIENDS OF WATERFRONT PARK , TO ENSURE MOVING FORWARD THAT IT IS MAINTAINED TO THE LEVEL IT NEEDS TO BE AN SEATTLE CENTER IS BEST POSITION TO DO THAT. WE ARE WORKING WITH THEM. AGAIN, I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THE CENTRAL WATERFRONT OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE THAT SUPPORTED THIS. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? LET'S MOVE ONTO THE NEXT ONE . >> NEXT ITEM IS HSD 032, INCREASE HSD BY $319,000 OF GENERAL FUND 2025 AND THROUGH THE $30,000 GENERAL FUND 2026 AND ADD TWO FTE FOR MOBILE INTEGRATED HEALTH TEAM EXPANSION. THIS IS SPONSORED BY COUNCILMEMBER STRAUSS AND COSPONSORED BY COUNCIL MEMBERS KETTLE AND SAKA. JUST A LITTLE CONTEXT. THIS IS INTENDED TO SUPPORT THE POST OVERDOSE TEAM OF HEALTH 99 TO CONDUCT PATIENT FOLLOW-UP AND RECOVERY SYSTEM NAVIGATION. THIS IS ADDING CAPACITY TO THAT. THIS WAS -- THESE POSITIONS WERE INTENDED TO BE INCLUDED IN THE TRANSMITTED BUDGET FROM THE MAYOR, BUT THEY WERE INADVERTENTLY LEFT OUT. THERE WAS FUNDING IN THE BUDGET FOR THIS, AND THIS IS JUST CREATING THE POSITIONS AND APPROPRIATING THE FUNDING ACCORDINGLY. >> THANK YOU. THIS IS JUST CONTINUING OUR CITY'S WORK IN RESPONDING TO THE FENTANYL EPIDEMIC THAT IS AT OUR FRONT DOORSTEP. HEALTH 99 IS AN IMPORTANT PROGRAM. THESE POSITION SUPPORT THAT. ANY QUESTIONS? LET'S KEEP MOVING. >> COUNCIL CENTRAL STAFF PRESENTING HSD , REQUEST THAT HSD REPORT ON A LANDSCAPE ANALYSIS AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR ADDRESSING GUN VIOLENCE IN SEATTLE SCHOOLS. THIS IS SPONSORED BY COUNCILMEMBER NELSON, COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA COUNCILMEMBER MOORE. >> COUNCIL PRESIDENT, AS SPONSOR, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. TO I WOULD LIKE -- THIS COULD BE CALLED THE GORMAN AMENDMENT, BECAUSE THIS WAS PRESENTED -- THIS CAME UP DURING HER PRESENTATION OF THE NEW INVESTMENT INTO SCHOOL-BASED INTERVENTIONS TO PREVENT AND REDUCE GUN VIOLENCE. SHE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT HER ISSUE PAPER AND PRESENTATION ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS NOT VERY MUCH INFORMATION, AS YET, ABOUT WHAT THE WORK WOULD BE, HOW IT WOULD INTERACT WITH OUR EXISTING INVESTMENTS IN THE COMMUNITY SAFETY INITIATIVE, AND IT ALSO ADDRESSES SOME OF THE QUESTIONS AROUND THE RESOURCES FOR FAMILY SUPPORT. I THINK THERE WERE THREE OPTIONS. ONE OF THEM WAS ASKING HOW THE TWO BODIES OF WORK INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER, AND SO THAT IS WHAT I AM TRYING TO DO. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW SPECIFIC THINGS, LIKE WHAT SCHOOLS ARE GOING TO BE IDENTIFIED, WHAT ORGANIZATIONS WILL BE PERFORMING THE WORK, AND THEN ALSO , SINCE THAT PRESENTATION, THE SEATTLE PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS HIRED A SAFETY OFFICER AND INTERESTED TO KNOW HOW THAT WILL WORK OUT AND WHAT WILL BE THE INTERPLAY OF OUR INVESTMENT WITH POTENTIALLY NEW BODIES OF WORK FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. BASICALLY, IT IS ASKING TO TELL US MORE ABOUT WHAT THE 4.2 MILLION WILL FUND. >> THANK YOU. QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? LET'S MOVE ONTO THE >> HELLO, AGAIN. NEXT ITEM IS STATEMENT OF LEGISLATIVE INTENT, ITD , REQUEST THAT THE EXECUTIVE COLLABORATE WITH THE COUNCIL TO ESTABLISH AN ADVISORY WORK GROUP TO EXPLORE ALTERNATIVE FINANCING AND OPERATING MODELS FOR THE SEATTLE CHANNEL . THE WORKGROUP IS INTENDED TO BE COMPOSED OF SEVEN MEMBERS, INCLUDING THE SEATTLE I.T. CHIEF TECHNOLOGY OFFICER, AND SIX APPOINTED MEMBERS WITH PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE OR RESEARCH EXPENSE IN THE MEDIA, ARTS, FINANCE OR NEWS INDUSTRIES. THREE MEMBERS WILL BE APPOINTED BY THE MAYOR, THREE APPOINTED BY THE CHAIR OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE, AND THE WORKGROUP WOULD BE ADVISED BY SEATTLE CHANNEL STAFF. THIS ENVISIONS WORKGROUP ADDRESSING FINANCE, GOVERNANCE AND OPERATIONS BY JUNE 30. THIS SLI IS SPONSORED BY COUNCIL MEMBER STRAUSS AND WAS REFERENCED EARLIER WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THE FUNDING PLAN. >> THANK YOU. AS STATED, THIS IS SIMPLY SETTING UP THE WORKGROUP TO IDENTIFY HOW WE CAN ENSURE THAT SEATTLE CHANNEL REMAINS INDEPENDENTLY FUNDED IN CONCERT WITH COUNCIL PRESIDENT'S BILL CLEARLY NOTING THE DIFFERENT REVENUE STREAMS FOR THE BRIDGE FUNDING THAT KEEPS THEM INDEPENDENT AND FUNDED. THERE IT IS. QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? MOVING ON . >> I AM HERE TO TALK NOW ABOUT MO , A STATEMENT OF LEGISLATIVE INTENT REQUESTING THAT THE MAYOR'S OFFICE TAKE THE LEAD ON DEVELOPING A REPORT THAT PROVIDES A COMPREHENSIVE RECREATIONAL VEHICLE OR RV STRATEGY. A REQUEST THE REPORT PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION. A CURRENT APPROACH TO ADDRESSING LIVED IN RVs , RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WOULD ADDRESS -- RECOMMENDATIONS AND PROGRAMMATIC APPROACHES, POLICY CHANGES OR LEGISLATIVE CHANGES THAT CAN MAKE A MEASURABLE AND MORE VISIBLE IMPACT ON THE REDUCTION OF LIVED IN RVs ON THE CITY RIGHT-OF-WAY AND BETTER CONNECT RV RESIDENTS WITH HOUSING AND SERVICES. IT ALSO ASKED FOR RECOMMENDATIONS AND EXPLANATION OF COST . SO A COST ESTIMATE FOR IMPLEMENTING RECOMMENDATIONS PROVIDED IN THE REPORT , INCLUDING A LOW, MEDIUM AND HIGH COST OPTION AND ASSOCIATED OUTCOMES. IT ALSO ASKED FOR RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ARE IMPLEMENTABLE WITH KNOWN CONSTRAINTS. FOR EXAMPLE, SEATTLE LEASE DEPARTMENT CAPACITY . THE REPORT IS DUE ON SEPTEMBER 1 AND COUNCILMEMBER SAKA IS THE SPONSOR. >> YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >> THANK YOU, MR. TRUMP AND COLLEAGUES, AS YOU KNOW, MY DISTRICT HAS, UNDER THE LAST REPORT BY OUR GREAT ECT TEAM, THREE TIMES THE NUMBER OF RV ENCAMPMENTS IN MY DISTRICT. BY THE WAY, WE'RE DEPENDING ON THE DATE OF THE REPORT. WHERE NUMBER TWO AND NUMBER THREE IN NOT RV TENT ENCAMPMENTS AS WELL. AND SO, AS WE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT AND UPLIFT THE WORK OF THE UNIFIED CARE TEAM AND BETTER CONNECT OUR UNHOUSED NEIGHBORS AND UNSHELTERED NEIGHBORS WITH PROPER SHELTER AND SERVICES AND SANITATION IN THE RV CONTEXT, IN PARTICULAR, THIS REPORT IS CALLED ON MORE IDEAS TO HELP US MAKE MORE MEASURABLE IMPACTS IN REDUCING THE INCIDENCE OF RV ENCAMPMENTS AND BETTER ALLOW US TO CONNECT RV ENCAMPMENT INHABITANTS WITH PROPER SHELTER AND SERVICES. AND SO, I INITIALLY THOUGHT ABOUT A PROVISO FOR SOME MONEY HERE AND THERE, BUT THIS IS A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT. WORKING CLOSELY WITH THE UNIFIED CARE TEAM AND THE MAYOR'S OFFICE. AND I INITIALLY THOUGHT ABOUT A PROVISO FOR CERTAIN FUNDS AND THIS AMOUNT CAN BE SPENT ON RV MEDIATIONS, BUT THAT WORK IS VERY COMPLICATED, COMPLEX , AND AT THIS EARLY STAGE, IT WOULD BE MORE ALONG THE LINES OF SHOOTING FROM THE HIP, AND SO, I WANTED TO MAKE SURE OUR CITY IS BEST POSITIONED TO THOUGHTFULLY ADDRESS THIS CHALLENGE , AND THEN ULTIMATELY WITH THE GOAL BY THE SUPPLEMENTAL, SUDDENLY BY THIS TIME NEXT YEAR, WE HAVE SOME CONCRETE INVESTMENTS AND BUILD A PROGRAM TO MAKE MORE MEASURABLE PROGRESS IN THIS AREA. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU FOR QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? LET'S MOVE ONTO THE NEXT ONE. >> OKAY. THAT'S ME. THIS IS OED , THIS COUNCIL BUDGET AMENDMENT WOULD IMPOSE A PROVISO OF $200,000 JUMPSTART FUND IN THE OFFICE OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FOR PURPOSES OF SMALL BUSINESS SUPPORT TO HISTORICALLY UNDER RESOURCED EQUITY BUSINESS DISTRICTS THAT DO NOT ANTICIPATE ESTABLISHING A BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT AREA IN THE NEXT TWO YEARS. FOR CONTEXT, THE 2025 PROPOSED BUDGET INCLUDES $2 MILLION FOR NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESS DISTRICTS , NOT INCLUDING STAFF, WITH A FOCUS ON SUPPORTING EXISTING AND POTENTIAL BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT AREAS. THE INTENT OF THE PROVISO WOULD BE TO REPURPOSE $200,000 AT OED THAT WOULD NOT ALREADY BE APPROPRIATED IN THE PROPOSED BUDGET FOR NEIGHBORHOOD IS THIS DISTRICTS, AND TO CHANNEL THE FUNDING TO HISTORICALLY UNDER RESOURCED BUSINESS DISTRICTS THAT NEED A BIT MORE RESOURCING AND TIME , MORE THAN A COUPLE YEARS AT LEAST, TO EXPLORE ESTABLISHING A BIA. THIS CBA IS SPONSORED BY COUNCIL MEMBERS SAKA, MORALES AND MOORE. >> THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER SAKA, AS SPONSOR, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >> THANK YOU, META VICE CHAIR. I WILL JUST SAY THAT MUST CONSTITUENTS IN MY DISTRICT, DISTRICT 1, HAVE CONSISTENTLY VOICED A DESIRE FOR EXPLORING BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT AREAS AND CERTAIN HISTORICALLY UNDERSERVED AREAS , NAMELY, SOUTH PARK, GEORGETOWN AND HIGHLAND PARK. BUT THIS COULD POTENTIALLY INCLUDE OTHER AREAS. SO WE CALL OUT A FEW OTHER GREAT CANDIDATE NEIGHBORHOODS AS WELL, BUT BOTTOM LINE, THERE ARE COMMUNITIES IN NEED FROM BLACK AND BROWN COMMUNITIES AND HISTORICALLY MARGINALIZED THAT COULD BENEFIT FROM THIS ADDITIONAL LEVEL OF TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND SUPPORT. SO THESE REPURPOSE FUNDS, IT WOULD USE EXISTING OED FUNDS AND ULTIMATELY GO THROUGH A COMPETITIVE PROCESS TO HELP ENABLE AND BRING THIS TO LIFE. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER SAKA ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? SEEING NINE, I WILL SAY I APPRECIATE THIS AMENDMENT , AND THAT I WANT TO CALL OUT IN OUR DISTRICT THE WEDGEWOOD BUSINESSES. IT IS NOT A BIA, BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF BIPOC BUSINESSES THAT ARE REALLY SUFFERING, LIKE MANY OTHER OF OUR NEIGHBORHOODS FROM PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUES. SO I APPRECIATE THIS BEING BROUGHT FORWARD. NEXT. >> OED WOULD STASH A STATEMENT OF LEGISLATIVE INTENT THAT WOULD REQUEST THAT THE OFFICE OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT REPORT ON A MIDYEAR STATUS UPDATE OF THE PROGRAMS OFFERED UNDER THE OED GENERATING WEALTH AND COMMUNITIES OF COLOR STRATEGIC PILLAR. THIS WOULD INCLUDE, BUT NOT BE LIMITED TO, PROGRAMS SUCH AS THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY OWNERSHIP FUND, CAPITAL ACCESS PROGRAM AND THE TENANT IMPROVEMENT FUND. SUCH INFORMATION WOULD BE INTENDED TO INFORM FUTURE DECISION-MAKING AND INVESTMENTS IN PROGRAMS THAT FALL UNDER THIS GENERATING WEALTH AND COMMUNITIES OF COLOR PILLAR, AND WOULD HELP BETTER UNDERSTAND WORK FURTHER INVESTMENTS WOULD BE MOST IMPACTFUL. THIS IS SPONSORED BY COUNCIL PRESIDENT NELSON, COUNCILMEMBER HOLLINGSWORTH AND COUNCILMEMBER WOO. >> THIS IS THE CONSOLATION PRIZE FOR MYSELF. NOT REALLY A PRIZE, BUT I HAD ORIGINALLY REQUESTED TO RESTORE THE 2.$3 MILLION IN FUNDING THAT WAS CUT FROM THE OED BUDGET WHICH IS ABOUT 50% OF THREE PROGRAMS, ALL OF WHICH ARE SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO HELP ENTREPRENEURS OF COLOR EITHER ACCESS TO LOANS OR CAPITAL FORWARD IMPROVEMENTS OR ENTER INTO PARTNERSHIPS TO OWN THEIR COMMERCIAL SPACE, ET CETERA. THAT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE BALANCING PACKAGE. SO THIS REQUEST THAT WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE PIPELINE OF WOULD-BE PROJECTS THAT COULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS FUNDING IN TIME FOR THE MIDYEAR SUPPLEMENTAL. IN THE COURSE OF MY RESEARCH ON THIS, I SORT OF LEARNED THAT THERE IS -- THERE ARE DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES ON THE UNIVERSE OF POTENTIAL PROJECTS THAT COULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE CUT. ON THE ONE SIDE, THERE IS -- OED WORKS IN MANY WAYS. STAFF FROM OED GET WORD OF SMALL BUSINESSES THAT ARE SEEKING TO DO XYZ, AND OVER THE COURSE OF CONVERSATIONS, AND UP TALKING ABOUT EXISTING RESOURCES, AND THEN SOMETIMES THAT IS WAYS THAT PROJECTS COME INTO THE PORTFOLIO OF OED. OTHER TIMES I HAVE A SET AMOUNT OF FUNDING FOR A PROGRAM, AND PROVIDE MORE BLANKET OUTREACH, BUT THE POINT IS THAT THERE IS DEMAND. THIS IS MY POINT. THERE IS MORE DEMAND THAN THERE IS FUNDING FOR THE KINDS OF SUPPORT THAT THE CUT FUNDING WOULD PROVIDE. AND SO, THIS WOULD JUST SAY THAT , LET'S HAVE OED REPORT BACK TO US ABOUT THE INTEREST IN THESE PROGRAMS, AND IF THERE COULD BE MONEY FOUND IN TIME FOR THE MIDYEAR SUPPLEMENTAL , THAT WE COULD CONSIDER RESTORING SOME OF THAT FUNDING. >> THANK YOU. QUESTIONS? SEE NONE, MOVING ONTO THE NEXT ITEM . >> THIS ITEM IS SDCI . IT WOULD REQUEST THAT THE SEATTLE DEPARTMENT OF CONSTRUCTION AND INSPECTIONS PROVIDE A REPORT ON TREE RELATED DATA ENFORCEMENT AND THE PAYMENT IN LIEU PROGRAM. THIS WOULD ASK FOR INFORMATION SUCH AS HOW MANY TREES HAVE BEEN REMOVED AND LOTS UNDERDEVELOPMENT, THE REASON FOR TREE REMOVAL . IT WOULD ASK FOR INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRESENCE AND CONDITION OF REPLACEMENT TREES, LOOKING AT THE NUMBER OF TREE REMOVAL COMPLAINTS THAT HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED , AND FOR THE PAYMENT IN LIEU PROGRAM , THE NUMBER OF APPLICANTS USING THAT OPTION, PAYMENT AMOUNT, TOTAL PAYMENTS AMOUNT COLLECTED IN CITY COSTS NEEDED TO TREEPLANTING AND ESTABLISHMENT. THE REPORT WOULD ASK FOR THIS INFORMATION BACK BY APRIL 1 OF 2025 . IT IS SPONSORED BY COUNCIL MEMBERS MOORE AND COSPONSORED BY MORALES AND WOO. >> THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THIS TOGETHER. I DON'T REALLY HAVE MUCH MORE TO ADD. IT IS PRETTY SELF-EXPLANATORY. >> HELPS US SEE THE FOREST THROUGH THE TREES. LET'S GO ON TO THE NEXT ONE. >> COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA. >> JUST TO SAY THAT I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THIS AMENDMENT. THANK YOU , COUNCILMEMBER MOORE, FOR BRINGING IT FORWARD. I WOULD HAVE SUPPORTED IT IF THERE WERE MORE SPONSORS. I WOULD'VE COSPONSORED, I MEAN, IF WE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE MORE SPONSORSHIPS TO IT. IT IS A CONVERSATION, AND FULL TRANSPARENCY, I KEEP HAVING WITH SDCI. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS ON BOARD. >> THANK YOU. MOVING ON. >> NEXT ITEM IS A STATEMENT OF LEGISLATIVE INTENT REQUESTING THAT ESTAR PROVIDE REPORT ON THE POTHOLE REPAIR PROGRAM AND THE PERFORMANCE INDICATOR FOR POTHOLES . WE WOULD FOCUS ON NOTABLE TRENDS AND INDUSTRY BEST PRACTICES . IT IS OFFER BY COUNCILMEMBER SAKA WAS COSPONSORSHIP FROM COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA AND KETTLE. >> THANK YOU. YOU ARE RECOGNIZED . >> COLLEAGUES, AT ITS CORE, THIS IS A TRANSPARENCY AMENDMENT. THIS IS A PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO IMPROVE TRANSPARENCY , BUILD PUBLIC TRUST AND CONFIDENCE IN AN ESSENTIAL GOVERNMENT SERVICE AND ULTIMATELY DRIVE ACCOUNTABILITY. ANOTHER WAY OF SAYING THAT IS THAT IT IS A GOOD GOVERNANCE ITEM. I SUPPOSE IT IS NO SECRET AT THIS POINT THAT I CARE DEEPLY ABOUT POTHOLES AND POTHOLE REPAIR. POTHOLE REPAIR. I'VE LITERALLY WORKED ALONGSIDE FRONTLINE CREWS REPAIRING POTHOLES. BUT THIS IS AN ESSENTIAL CORE GOVERNMENT SERVICE. I AM HONORED TO HELP DRIVE TRANSPARENCY AROUND THIS AND BUILD IN SOME KPIS AND OKAY ARE, KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS, OBJECTIVE KEY RESULTS, ET CETERA, TO DRIVE TRANSPARENCY HERE. THANK YOU . >> THANK YOU. QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? WE WILL GO ON TO THE NEXT ONE. >> NEXT ITEM IS SDOT , ALSO REQUESTING THAT SDOT PROVIDE RECOMMENDATIONS ON STREET POLICIES. REQUEST TO ADOPT A STREET NAMING POLICY TO CONSIDERATION OF HONORING STREET NAMING REQUEST. OFFER BY COUNCILMEMBER SAKA, COSPONSORED BY KETTLE AND HOLLINGSWORTH. >> THANK YOU. AS SPONSOR, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >> VERY FAMILY AMENDMENT. RAIN CHILD OF CONVERSATIONS WITH SDOT EARLIER THIS YEAR. THEY HAVE INFORMATION AT THE READY , ORGANIZING IT AND PACKAGING IT TOGETHER NEATLY FOR US. WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED THAT THIS DELIVERABLE. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? MOVING ONTO THE NEXT ITEM. >> THE NEXT TWO ITEMS ARE THE SEATTLE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND ITEM THEM OR 131 IS SPD 110 THAT WOULD REQUEST THAT SPD REPORT ON OFFICE -- OFFICER RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION. SPONSORED BY COUNCILMEMBER SAKA, COUNCILMEMBER HOLLINGSWORTH AND COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE. IT IS A SLI THAT WILL REQUEST THE POLICE DEPARTMENT CREATE A REPORT ON THE STRATEGIC PLAN THAT WOULD ENSURE THE DEPARTMENT MEETS THE GOALS OF ITS HIRING AND RETENTION INITIATIVES. IT WOULD REQUEST THAT SPD SUBMIT A REPORT TO THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE BY SEPTEMBER 1 OF 2025. >> THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER SAKA, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED . >> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. THIS ONE IS BASICALLY CALLING FOR A COMPREHENSIVE STRATEGY , OVERARCHING STRATEGY, COMPREHEND THE PLAN TO BETTER POSITION OUR CITY TO BETTER ACHIEVE OUR AMBITIONS OFFICER HIRING GOALS TO HIRE 3 TO 500 MORE OFFICERS, RESTORE OFFICER STAFFING LEVELS TO PRE-COVID LEVELS OF 1400 PLUS. WE HAVE BEEN DOING A LOT OF GREAT THINGS THIS YEAR, IN PARTICULAR , IN TERMS OF ENABLING THAT FROM VARIOUS INCENTIVE LEGISLATIONS, STREAMLINING THE OFFICER HIRING RECRUITMENT PROCESS, WHICH IS GREAT. WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT, BUT WE DO NEED -- WE ARE IN DIRE NEED OF AN OVERARCHING STRATEGY AND PROPOSED IMPLEMENTATION PLAN WITH CLEAR METRICS AND SPECIFIC GOALS THAT ARE REASONABLE ACHIEVABLE ATTAINABLE, TIME BOUND, ALL THE SMART TYPE OF GOALS . AND BENCHMARKS . A PLAN FOR GETTING THERE. THAT WAY ANY FUTURE LEGISLATION THAT WE TAKE UP TO ADDRESS THIS, YOU KNOW, IT CAN EITHER BE INTENTIONALLY INCONSISTENT WITH THIS PROPOSED STRATEGY, OR INTENTIONALLY CONSISTENT, REGARDLESS, WE NEED ADDITIONAL PLANNING AND GUIDANCE , AND THIS HELPS US GET US THERE. THANK YOU . >> THANK YOU. QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? >> THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD. I WOULD NOTE THAT MAYBE A WHOLE YEAR IS TOO LONG, BUT I WANTED TO RECOGNIZE THAT IN, LET'S SEE, 2022 THE MAYOR -- WELL, IMPLEMENTED OR SET FORTH IN RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION PLANS FOR OFFICERS. THAT ACCOMPANIED THE HIRING OF RECRUITERS THAT WERE FIRST IN THE DEPARTMENT OF HR, THEN RECENTLY MOVED TO SPD THROUGH THE LEGISLATION THAT CAME THROUGH OUR COMMITTEE. AND SO, MY QUESTION FOR CENTRAL STAFF IS, TO WHAT EXTENT -- IS IS ASKING FOR THE SAME INFORMATION THAT THE RETENTION AND RECRUITMENT COUNCIL BILL THAT WAS PASSED EARLIER THIS YEAR ALREADY ASKED FOR? CAN THEY BE COMBINED AT ALL? >> I THINK THE WAY THAT THE SPONSOR ENVISIONS IT, IT WOULD TAKE THE DATA BEING PROVIDED UNDER THREE COUNCIL ORDINANCES REQUESTED UNDER THREE AND WOULD TAKE THAT DATA AND PUT IT TOGETHER, ALONG WITH THE STAFFING PLAN, TO CREATE MORE OF A STRATEGIC DOCUMENT TO GUIDE THE DEPARTMENT. YOU ARE CORRECT . IN 2019 THERE WAS A RECRUITMENT AND INTENTION PLANT THAT WAS PUT TOGETHER WITH THE HELP OF THE COUNCIL THAT WAS OBVIOUSLY A WHILE AGO. IT DIDN'T COME UP WITH STRATEGIC BENCHMARKS OR METRICS THAT COULD BE USED TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WAS BEING ACHIEVED, THAT THE GOALS ARE BEING ACHIEVED BUT I WOULD SAY THOSE ARE KIND OF THE DIFFERENCES. >> GOT IT. SO IT IS THE GRAND PLAN. THANK YOU. IT IS A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR HOW WE GET TO A CERTAIN NUMBER BY A CERTAIN YEAR, ET CETERA. THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING THAT QUESTION. >> THANK YOU. MR. CHAIR, THAT IS EXACTLY IT. THE BASIC NOTION IS FOR THOSE KEY STRATEGIC POLICY AREAS ON ITEMS, WHETHER DOWNTOWN ACTIVATION PLAN, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN , THE SEATTLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN. WE SHOULD HAVE A FORMAL DOCUMENTED THAT COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE CALLED EARLIER FOR A HOUSING PLAN. WE SHOULD HAVE A FORMAL DOCUMENTED FOR ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY PURPOSES. SO WE ARE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THIS CALLS FOR . >> THANK YOU. THANK YOU. LET'S MOVE ONTO THE NEXT ITEM . >> THE NEXT ITEM IS SPD WOMAN TO . THIS ITEM WOULD REQUEST THAT SPD REPORT ON LEAD, WHICH IS LET EVERYONE ADVANCE WITH DIGNITY. THE SPD AND LEAD DATABASE INTEGRATION EFFORTS. AGAIN, THIS IS A SLI THAT REQUEST THAT SPD REPORT ON THE USE OF THE DATA SHARING PLATFORM THAT WOULD ALLOW THE SPD AND PETER RATED -- COMPUTER DATA ANALYTIC PLATFORMS TO EXCHANGE INFORMATION WHERE LEGALLY POSSIBLE WITH THE DATABASE MAINTAINED BY LEAD AND PRESENT A PLAN AND TIMELINE TO INTEGRATE THE SYSTEMS TO ALLOW FOR SHARING OF INFORMATION BETWEEN LEAD PARTICIPANTS AND PROGRAM OPERATIONS WITH SPD OFFICERS. THE SLI WILL BE DUE TO THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE ON MARCH 3. IT IS SPONSORED BY COUNCILMEMBER MOORE WAS COSPONSORED COUNCILMEMBER SAKA AND RIVERA. >> YOU ARE RECOGNIZED . >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I THINK THIS IS -- THERE WAS A SLI BEFORE. AND THE WORK HAS BEEN DONE , BUT IT SEEMS TO HAVE LAGGED . THERE IS SOME ADDITIONAL THINGS THAT NEED TO BE INCORPORATED. THIS IS REALLY JUST TO BRING THE ISSUE BACK FRONT AND CENTER AND PUSH IT OVER THE FINISH LINE . >> THANK YOU. QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? >> COULD YOU PLEASE REMIND ME. DID WE FUND THIS INTEGRATION DURING BUDGET DELIBERATIONS LAST YEAR OR THE YEAR BEFORE? >> I THINK IT WAS A FEW YEARS BACK THAT THE SEATTLE I.T. AND LEAD WERE FUNDED TO WORK TOGETHER TO IDENTIFY A DATABASE THAT WOULD ALLOW FOR COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE TWO ENTITIES. AND THEN, SUBSEQUENT SESSIONS, THE DATABASE RECEIVES THE MONEY FROM THE CITY . BUT HAS NOT HAPPENED YET IS THE ACTUAL INTEGRATION ITSELF. THE BUILDING OF THE BUSES ARE SUCH THAT WOULD ALLOW THE TWO TO COMMUNICATE. PART OF THAT IS DUE TO DATA RESTRICTIONS UNDER FEDERAL LAW. SO I KNOW THAT IN THE PAST THE DEPARTMENT AND LEAD HAVE TALKED ABOUT WORK AROUND THAT WOULD ALLOW THE DATA TO REACH SPD. SO SPD WOULD KNOW WHAT LEAD CLIENTS THEY MIGHT BE WORKING WITH, BUT LEAD WOULD NOT BE RECEIVING DATA THAT IS PROTECTED. AND THOSE CONVERSATIONS HAPPEN GOING ON. I THINK THIS IS BASICALLY JUST ASKING FOR STATUS ON THAT AND A TIMELINE FOR WHEN THAT INTEGRATION MIGHT ACTUALLY HAPPEN. >> ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? >> JUST ONE. COUNCILMEMBER MOORE , I APPRECIATE THIS QUESTION . THERE IS OFTEN AN UNDERSTANDING THAT LEAD IS AN EVIDENCE-BASED METHODOLOGY THAT REALLY DOES -- IT IS AN ALTERNATIVE -- AND ALLOWS FOR ALTERNATIVES TO INCARCERATION FOR LOW-LEVEL CRIMES. I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE UNDERSTAND THAT, ESPECIALLY SINCE WE HAVE A NEW POLICY AREA WHICH IS COMMERCIAL SEXUAL EXPLOITATION. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD. >> THANK YOU. >> COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR STRAUSS. I JUST WANTED TO ADD THAT I APPRECIATE THE DISCUSSION ON THIS. I BROUGHT THIS UP WITH THE CHIEF . TO HIS POINT, THERE ARE TECHNICAL PIECES TO THIS. WE WILL DEFINITELY WORK THIS THROUGH THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE. IT IS INTERESTING GOING THROUGH THIS BUDGET PROCESS IN THE SENSE OF BRINGING UP IDEAS. A LOT OF THESE WE WILL WORK THROUGH COMMITTEE. THE CBA AND SLI ARE GOOD, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE WILL WORK THROUGH THESE PIECES. THE LEAD PIECE IS ALSO PART OF THE GENERAL CRIMINAL JUSTICE ECOSYSTEM, WHICH IS GOING TO BE A MAJOR THEME THROUGH 2025. AND SO, I HAVE TALKED TO ABOUT THIS, ALONG WITH THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CITY ATTORNEY OFFICE. I APPRECIATE THESE ITEMS COMING UP . THEY ARE GOOD REMINDERS, OR TO PUT THEM WITHIN THE PACKAGE IS WHAT THE COMMITTEE IS GOING TO DO. BUT AGAIN, THIS WILL NOT BE THE ONLY WAY THAT WE WILL ADDRESS THIS. YOU WILL ALSO COME UP THROUGH THE COMMITTEE. THANK YOU . >> THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE. ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS? LET'S MOVE ONTO THE NEXT ITEM. >> I STILL WORK FOR YOU ON THE CENTRAL STAFF. GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN. I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE NEXT ITEM, WHICH IS ITEM NUMBER 133. THIS WOULD INCREASE THE LIBRARY BY $30,000 IN GENERAL FUNDS FOR LIBRARY MATERIALS. IT IS SPONSORED BY COUNCILMEMBER SAKA . THE PROPOSED BUDGET FOR THE LIBRARY WOULD INCLUDE SOME REDUCTIONS IN PHYSICAL MATERIALS, INCLUDING $10,000 OR ABOUT A 9% REDUCTION IN NEWSPAPER AND MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTIONS AND A $5000 OR 14% ANNUAL REDUCTION IN REFERENCE BOOK PURCHASES . WHILE SBL DOES NOT TRACK DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION , THEY DO KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE THAT LOWER INCOME GROUPS IN OLDER ADULT POPULATIONS ON FIXED INCOMES DEPEND ON THE LIBRARY TO PROVIDE VISIBLE ACCESS TO INFORMATIONAL AND RECREATIONAL MATERIALS. REDUCTIONS TO PHYSICAL FORMATS SUCH AS MAGAZINE AND NEWSPAPERS A SCRIPT TO CREATE A DISPROPORTIONATE IMPACT ON THESE FOLKS. ORIGINALLY INCLUDED IN CBO 002. THAT IS TO DELAY LAOS TO CITY STAFF. THAT CBO WOULD HAVE PROVIDED AN $8000 FROM ONE-TIME GENERAL FUND BALANCE ADDITIONAL AUTHORITY FOR SIX MONTHS RESTORATION OF A ONE FTE MANAGEMENT ANALYSIS AND SEATTLE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES. THE PROPOSAL HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE BUILDING PACKAGE BECAUSE THE POSITION IS CURRENTLY VACANT AND THE REVISED CPA IS CBO. THAT IS THE DETAIL TO SAY THE CBA DOES NOT IMPACT THE PROJECTED ONGOING OPERATING GENERAL FUND DEFICIT IN THE 27 AND 28 BIENNIUM. WITH THAT, HE WAS HANDED OVER. >> THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER WOO, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED . >> THANK YOU. WE KNOW THERE IS A DIGITAL DIVIDE. OUR ELDERS DON'T QUITE KNOW SOME OF THEM ARE NOT ABLE TO ACCESS MATERIALS ONLINE. THIS WOULD HELP ALSO WITH PROVIDING THEM THESE MATERIALS IN PERSON TO HAVE AN TO SEE, BUT ALSO IN LANGUAGE AS WELL. ACCESS TO CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE MATERIALS , AND NEWS IS SOMETHING MANY ELDERS DEPEND ON IN THE LIBRARY SYSTEM. I THINK THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT ADDITION. >> >> AS I SAID EARLIER, WE DON'T ALWAYS DO SUCH A GREAT JOB OF ADDRESSING THE NEEDS OF OUR OLDER POPULATIONS AND ELDERS IN THE CITY. I APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING THIS FORWARD. I KNOW THOSE OF US OF A CERTAIN AGE THAT EITHER DIDN'T GROW UP WITH TECHNOLOGY DIDN'T HAVE ACCESS TO IT AND REALLY RELY ON PAPER AND GETTING THE NEWS THROUGH ACTUAL NEWSPAPER. I APPRECIATE YOU PUTTING THIS IN HERE. THANK YOU. >> I WILL JUST SAY I AM THE YOUNGEST MEMBER OF THE COUNCIL AND PREFER PAPER NEWSPAPERS. IT IS NOT ABOUT BEING OLD. BACK TO CENTRAL STAFF. >> I HAVE ANY OTHER DETAILS, BUT I HERE TO HELP ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. >> THANK YOU. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO SPR 13 . >> PRESENTING TWO AMENDMENTS IN GROUP C FOR SEATTLE PARKS AND RECREATION. SPR 13 WOULD INCREASE SPR BY A TOTAL OF 1.5 MILLION METROPOLITAN PARK DISTRICT PARK AND RECREATION FUND AND GENERAL FUND COMBINED OVER 2025 AND 2026 FOR THE TURF CONVERSION OF A SOFTBALL FIELD AT LOWER WOODLAND PARK. THE CBA WOULD ALSO DECREASE SPR BY ONE 1.5 MILLION IN 2025 AND 2026 BY REMOVING RESOURCES FROM THE MPD FUND FOR LAND ACQUISITION, PARK AND RECREATION FUND FOR ONGOING FOR RESTORATION NOW VACANT AND ALSO GENERAL FUND FOR TEMPORARY RESTORATION OF POSITIONS NOW VACANT. LOWER WOODLAND PARK HAS FIVE BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL FIELDS, WHAT IS SYNTHETIC AND FOUR ARE GRASS AND DIRT AND WOULD CONVERT THE CONVERSION OF ONE SOFTBALL INFIELD TO SYNTHETIC TURF. THE CBA INTENTIONALLY IS LIMITING CONVERSION TO THE INFIELD TO EXPEDITE THE TIMELINE OF THE PROJECT AND OCCUR A LOWER COST, CONVERTING THE ENTIRE FIELD WOULD COST SOMETHING CLOSER TO $3 MILLION. THE CBA RELIES ON THE FOLLOWING RESOURCES. IT WOULD DECREASE APPROPRIATIONS IN THE PARKLAND AND ACQUISITION LEVERAGE FUND BY $434,000 IN 2025 AND $554,000 IN 2026. THESE ARE BOTH ONE TIME REDUCTIONS IN THOSE YEARS. THE REDUCTION WOULD RESULT IN FEWER RESOURCES TO ACQUIRE LAND FOR PARKS AND COVER ASSOCIATED COSTS SUCH AS ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEWS AND APPRAISALS. THE CBA WOULD ALSO MAKE USE OF $186,000 AVAILABLE FUND BALANCE IN 2025 AND 2026 AND THE PARK AND RECREATION FUND. AS YOU MAY RECALL, THESE FUNDS WERE PREVIOUSLY IN A BUDGET AMENDMENT THAT SPR WOULD HAVE RESTORED FUNDING FOR GROUNDS MAINTENANCE POSITIONS OF THAT WAS IN THE ORIGINAL BALANCING PACKAGE THAT WAS REMOVED AS THESE POSITIONS ARE NOW VACANT. LAST, THE CBA WITHDRAW 130,000 OF ONE-TIME GENERAL FUND BALANCE THAT WOULD HAVE FUNDED THE TEMPORARY SIX MONTHS RESTORATION OF POSITIONS AT SPR OF ADMINISTRATIVE SPECIALIST AND SENIOR SPECIALIST. BOTH OF THOSE POSITIONS ARE NOW VACANT. AND SO, THOSE FUNDS ARE BEING PROPOSED TO BE USED FOR THIS TURF CONVERSION. >> THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER HOLLINGSWORTH, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >> FIRST LET ME ADDRESS WHERE WE ARE WHEN WE ARE THINKING ABOUT FUNDING. I KNOW THAT WE -- I THINK IS COMING FROM A PERSPECTIVE OF UNDERSTANDING THAT WE PROBABLY NEED TO MAINTAIN OUR PARKS MORE THAN ACQUIRING A LOT OF THE NEW PARKS , POCKET PARKS OR OTHER PIECES. SO VERY THOUGHTFUL ABOUT THAT BUT I ALSO WANT TO THANK CENTRAL STAFF FOR BEING ABLE TO FIND OTHER PLACES WHERE THOSE POSITIONS ARE VACANT AND WE CAN MOVE SOME MONEY AROUND TO BE ABLE TO DO A REALLY IMPORTANT PROJECT. THIS SIX OUT OF 14 SOFTBALL FIELDS -- EXCUSE ME, SIX OUT OF THE 14 SOFTBALL FIELDS THAT HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS PLAY ON OUR DIRT COMPARED TO ONE OUT OF THE 15 IN THE CITY OF SEATTLE. IF HER BUDGET PASSES, WE WOULD HAVE DONE TO BACK OF THOSE FOR HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS TEAMS. AND ALSO, ONE IN WEST SEATTLE, WHICH IS FOR LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL FIELD AS WELL SPONSORED BY COUNCILMEMBER SAKA IN THE BALANCING PACKAGE. THE HIGH SCHOOLS THAT USE THIS FOR PUBLIC SCHOOL OR LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL, ROOSEVELT AND BALLARD. THESE PROGRAMS USE LOWER WOODLAND. I WANT TO THANK RICO, WHO BROUGHT THIS TO OUR ATTENTION. THERE WAS AN ARTICLE IN THE SEATTLE TIMES AND TALK ABOUT THE DISPARITY BETWEEN GIRLS AND BOYS SPORTS, PARTICULARLY SOFTBALL. THEY RECEIVED OVER 1500 SIGNATURES , AND ALSO THIS KID IS DOING THIS PROJECT TO HELP PEOPLE YOUNGER THAN HER. SHE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BENEFIT FROM THIS FIELD, BUT SHE THINKS IT IS IMPORTANT WE HAVE THESE CONVERSATIONS TO BE ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, TURF MOOREFIELD FOR PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO NOT PLAY IN THE MUD AND FOR KIDS TO ENJOY PERKS AWFUL FIELDS ARE ALSO ENJOYED BY, NOT AS HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS TEAMS, BUT ALSO LITTLE LEAGUE TEAMS, AND ALSO ADULT SOFTBALL PLAYERS AS WELL. REALLY HOPE THAT MY COLLEAGUES CAN CONSIDER THIS AMENDMENT. I WANT TO THANK COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA FOR YOUR SPONSORSHIP, AND ALSO COUNCILMEMBER WOO. >> THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA, AS COSPONSOR, I WILL CALL ON YOU. I WANT THE RECORD TO REFLECT THAT I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS UNTIL IT WAS PUBLISHED. EVEN THOUGH IT IS IN MY DISTRICT. I WILL TALK ABOUT THAT LATER. OVER TO YOU, VICE CHAIR . >> I REALLY WANT TO THANK THE PARTS CHAIR FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD. I COULD NOT MORE WHOLEHEARTEDLY SUPPORT THIS. I WILL SAY THAT I KNOW THAT COUNCILMEMBER HOLLINGSWORTH HAS HAD AS MANY CALLS AS I HAVE HAD , AND OTHERS OF US THAT SERVED ON THE PARTS COMMITTEE ABOUT THE NEED FOR MORE PLAYFIELD FOR GIRLS , AND PARTICULARLY, SOFTBALL. I HAD A NUMBER OF PARENTS AND GIRLS FROM ROOSEVELT AND LINCOLN COME HERE IN SUPPORT OF THIS. AND SO, I AM SO PLEASED THAT THIS IS IN HERE. I AGAIN WANT TO THANK COUNCILMEMBER HOLLINGSWORTH FOR HER LEADERSHIP ON THIS. I COULD NOT BE MORE PROUD TO SUPPORT THIS . YOU KNOW, IT IS SO NEEDED. THE DISPARITY IS GREAT. THIS IS A REALLY FEEL-GOOD ONE. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. COUNCIL PRESIDENT . >> FIRST I WANTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A WELCOME GESTURE OF CITYWIDE COLLABORATION TO COUNCIL MEMBERS FROM SOUTH OF THE SHIP CANAL WORKING ON A PROJECT NORTH OF IT. I DO HAVE A QUESTION. I DID READ INTO THIS. SOME OF THE FUNDING COMES FROM THE FIX IT FIRST . AND SO, IS IT KNOWN WHAT KIND OF MAINTENANCE OR REGULAR WORK WILL NOT BE DONE OR WHAT WOULD IMPACT THAT? >> THE FUNDING, FOR MY UNDERSTANDING, THE FUNDING IS GOING INTO THAT BSL. THE RESOURCES FOR THE TURF CONVERSION ARE COMING OUT OF THE PARKLAND AND ACQUISITION CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECT FUND. IT IS LIMITING THE CITY'S ABILITY TO PURCHASE NEW LAND OR TWO READY LAND FOR PURCHASE. IT WOULD NOT IMPACT MAINTENANCE. >> GOT IT. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. COLLEAGUES, I WILL JUST SAY, I DIDN'T NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE AMENDMENT. I'M ACTUALLY KIND OF GLAD I DIDN'T, BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO BE SEEN AS SELF-SERVING. GREEN LAKE, WOODLAND PARK, THESE ARE REALLY THE HEART OF THE CITY AND THE REGION. WOODLAND PARK ZOO IS A REGIONAL ZOO. RELAY COMMUNITY CENTER IS ONE OF THE MOST CENTRAL COMMUNITY CENTERS. THAT IS WHY WE TALK ABOUT REDOING THE GREEN LAKE COMMUNITY CENTER, THE SOFTBALL FIELDS ARE THE EXACT SAME. THIS IS A REALLY SMART DECISION. THANK YOU COUNCILMEMBER HOLLINGSWORTH. DO YOU WANT LAST WORD? >> I WOULD. IT SHOWS YOU ANYTHING NORTH OF MONTLAKE, I KNOW WHERE THE DISTRICT LINES ARE I DIDN'T REALIZE THIS WAS YOUR DISTRICT. >> IT'S OKAY. THEY GERRYMANDERED MY DISTRICT LAST YEAR BUT I ALSO SOUTH OF THE SHIP CANAL RIGHT NOW. >> UNDERSTOOD. THAT IS MY BAD. I WOULD NOT HAVE ASKED YOU TO BE A COSPONSOR. I APOLOGIZE. ANYWAY, THANK YOU FOR NOT GETTING MAD AT ME. ALSO, I WOULD LOVE EVERYONE'S SUPPORT ON THIS. I REALLY APPRECIATE THE COSPONSORS AND THE PERSON THAT THEIR DISTRICT WILL GO INTO. THANK YOU. >> COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA, I WILL SAY WE ARE AT 3:30 AND HAVE A LOT MORE TO DO. SORRY. I HAVE BEEN TALKING. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR. YOU ARE RIGHT. WE SUPPORT EACH OTHER ACROSS THE CITY AND ALL OF THESE FIELDS ARE BEING USED ALSO FOR KIDS AND ADULTS, FOR THAT MATTER, ACROSS THE CITY. I WANT TO ADDRESS, KARINA, ONE COUNCIL PRESIDENT ANNOUNCED WHAT IS NOT GOING TO GET DONE AND ACQUISITION. THESE ARE THE TOUGH CHOICES WE HAVE TO MAKE. I WANTED TO UNDERSCORE THAT. THESE DECISIONS ARE NOT MADE LIGHTLY. WE KNOW WE HAVE THIS INCREDIBLE NEED TO REDO PLAYFIELD , AND PARTICULARLY, TO ADDRESS THIS DISPARITY SO OUR GIRLS HAVE A PLACE. THIS DOESN'T EVEN MEET THE NEED THAT THE GIRLS HAVE IN TERMS OF PARITY, BUT IT STARTS TO GET US SOMEWHERE. AND SO, YES, IT IS HARD WHEN WE ARE FORGOING ONE THING FOR THE OTHER. TOUGH CHOICES, BUT WE ARE MAKING THE TOUGH CHOICES. AND I THINK THIS WAS AN IMPORTANT ONE. THANK YOU . >> THANK YOU. I'M GOING TO KEEP US MOVING FORWARD. I WILL ASK US TO JUST STICK TO THE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. I KNOW I DID NOT LEAD BY EXAMPLE ON THE LAST FIVE MINUTES. >> ONE MORE,. THERE WILL BE 868,000 IN 2025 AND 778,000 IN 2026 AND THAT PARKLAND AND ACQUISITION FUND. THE NEXT BUDGET AMENDMENT IS SPR 14 , IT IS A STATEMENT OF LEGISLATIVE INTENT REQUESTING SPR TO REPORT ON THE TIMELINE FOR REDEVELOPING THE LAKES CITY COMMUNITY CENTER. CURRENTLY SPR AND THE SEATTLE OFFICE OF HOUSING ARE PARTNERING TO REDEVELOP THE SITE WITH THE GOAL OF CO-LOCATING A NEW COMMUNITY CENTER WITH AFFORDABLE HOUSING. AND OFFICE OF HOUSING IS CONDUCTING A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS RIGHT NOW IN PARTNERSHIP TO INVITE DEVELOPERS TO SUBMIT PROPOSALS FOR CONSTRUCTING THE BUILDING SHELL AND CORE OF THE NEW COMMUNITY CENTER WITH ANTICIPATED DESIGNATION OF THAT DEVELOPMENT TEAM BY MARCH 31 OF 2025. THIS SLI REQUEST SPR TO PROVIDE A REPORT ON THE COMPUTER THE TIMELINE FOR REDEVELOPMENT OF THE LAKE CITY COMMUNITY CENTER, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO TO MILESTONE DATES, IDENTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL TIMELINE IMPACTS AND PLANS TO MITIGATE DELAYS. THIS WOULD BE DUE NEXT YEAR, JULY 1 AND IS SPONSORED BY COUNCILMEMBER AND 11 WITH COSPONSORS RIVERA AND WOO . >> THANK YOU . COUNCILMEMBER MOORE. YOU ARE RECOGNIZE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AS YOU KNOW, WE ARE IN DESPERATE NEED OF A COMMUNITY CENTER IN LAKE CITY. THE LAST ONE BURNED DOWN . SO THERE IS A PLAN, A NOVEL PLAN TO HAVE A COMMUNITY CENTER WITH AFFORDABLE HOUSING ON TOP OF IT, BUT GIVEN THE FACT THAT THE DEVELOPMENT IS GOING SOMEWHAT SLOWLY. I KNOW WE HAVE TAKEN THE SERVICE AND NOW PUSHING THAT BACK . I AM JUST WANTING TO GET -- THE COMMUNITY WANTS TO KNOW THE ACTUAL PLAN . IT HAS NOT BEEN ENTIRELY CLEAR. THERE HAS BEEN SOME BACK-AND-FORTH AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR TRANSPARENCY TO JUST GET A PLAN TO TELL US WHAT TO EXPECT AND WHAT THE TIMELINE IS. >> THANK YOU. QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? MOVING ONTO THE NEXT ONE >> HELLO. ALL RIGHT. THIS PROVISO ATTACHED SORRY, THE CBA WOULD INCREASE SBU BY 50,000 AND GENERAL FUND ONE TIME FOR A DEEP CLEANING AT LIVED IN RECREATIONAL VEHICLE SITES. CURRENTLY IT OFFERS TWO TYPES OF CLEANING RELATED TO RECREATIONAL VEHICLE SITES . FIRST THEY OFFER GEO CLEANS, WHICH FOCUSES ON A LIGHTER CLAIM THAT FOCUSES ON REMOVING VISIBLE TRASH FROM THE RIGHT-OF-WAY. DEEP CLEANING GOES FURTHER BY INVOLVING UNHOUSED INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZING OR APPROVING THE REMOVAL OF BULKY PERSONAL BELONGINGS, ENSURING RIGHT-OF-WAY AND SIDEWALK ACCESSIBILITY. THE APPROACH IS MORE THAN TIME-CONSUMING, INTENSIVE AND EXPENSIVE THEN GEO CLEANING. THE ESTIMATE IS THAT THEY WOULD SPEND ABOUT $125,000 ON DEEP CLEANS IN 2025, AND THE CBA WOULD INCREASE THE BUDGET TO 175,000. THE RESULT WOULD BE ONE OF ADDITIONAL DEEP CLEANING SHIFT OF TWO HOURS TO SIX HOURS PER MONTH, RESULTING IN ONE OR TWO ADDITIONAL SITES PER MONTH RECEIVING A DEEP CLEANING. THE CBA IS FUNDED BY GENERAL FUND DOLLARS, ORIGINALLY INCLUDED IN CBO TO DELAY LAYOFFS OF CITY STAFF. IT WOULD PROVIDE $87,000 FOR ONE-TIME GENERAL FUND BALANCES AND POSITION AUTHORITY FOR SIX-MONTH RESTORATION OF TWO POSITIONS. THIS PROPOSAL HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE BALANCING PACKAGE BECAUSE THE POSITION, THAT POSITION IS CURRENTLY VACANT. THE CBA DOES NOT IMPACT THE PROJECTED ONGOING OPERATING DEFICIT. I WILL STOP THERE. >> A SPONSOR OF THE AMENDMENT, YOU ARE RECOGNIZE. I WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO TIE ALL THESE TOGETHER. I >> MOMENT AGO ABOUT THE FUTURE AND ADDITIONAL POTENTIAL ADVANCEMENTS WE CAN MAKE TO BETTER ADDRESS RV ENCAMPMENTS AND REMEDIATE RV CAMPERS. I ALSO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE MADE SOME GREAT INVESTMENTS IN THE BALANCING PACKAGE TO SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS RVs. SO WE CAN SPEND AND IMPLEMENT TODAY. THIS BUILD UPON THAT . THE $50,000 BUILD UPON THAT . AND THIS IS ANOTHER FRIENDLY AMENDMENT WORKING CLOSELY WITH , THEY COULD USE THE CENTRAL FUNDING TO GO TO HAVE WORKERS GO DEEP AND EMBED IN THESE RV SITE AREAS . IT IS NOT JUST FOR DEEP CLEANING, BUT IT IS ALSO ENGAGING WITH THEM ON A HUMAN LEVEL. IMPORTANT PACKAGE OF INVESTMENTS. IT WOULD IMPOSE A PROVISO ON $230,000 IN GENERAL FUNDS IN SEATTLE PUBLIC UTILITIES FOR SANITATION SERVICES IN LITTLE SAIGON. THE INTENT OF THE PROVISO IS TO ENSURE THE CONTINUATION OF SANITATION SERVICES IN 2025 THAT ARE CURRENTLY BEING PROVIDED BY A CONTRACTOR IN LITTLE SAIGON. THE CHINATOWN INTERNATIONAL DISTRICT BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT AREA INTENDS TO INCLUDE LITTLE SAIGON. THE NEIGHBORHOOD IN FUTURE ITERATIONS OF THE BIA, WHICH WOULD REDUCE THE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL OUTSIDE FUNDING SUCH AS THIS IN FUTURE YEARS. THE CBA IS SPONSORED BY THE BUDGET COMMITTEE. >> THANK YOU. I WILL SPEAK TO THIS ITEM. I SEE BOTH COUNCILMEMBER MORALES AND WOO WITH HER HANDS RAISED. COLLEAGUES, THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS REQUESTED BY BOTH COUNCILMEMBER MORALES AND WOO DURING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PACKAGE WHEN I ASKED QUESTIONS. IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING AT THAT TIME THAT A PROVISO WAS NOT REQUIRED FOR THE WORK TO BE DONE. IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT ISN'T HELPFUL. BUT THAT WAS THE INFORMATION I HAD RECEIVED. BOTH COUNCIL MEMBERS HAD MADE THIS REQUEST THROUGH THE AMENDMENT PROCESS. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING WITHOUT SPEAKING WITH EACH OTHER THAT BOTH AMENDMENTS WERE SUBMITTED BY BOTH COUNCIL MEMBERS , EACH WITH TWO COSPONSORS . THAT IS SIX PEOPLE. THAT IS A QUORUM. I BELIEVE THAT IT WAS BROKEN, BECAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE ANY OF THESE FOLKS TALK TO EACH OTHER ABOUT THIS. THIS WITH ME IN RECEIPT OF THE INFORMATION MAKING THE DECISION TO THE BUDGET LEGISLATION. >> COUNCILMEMBER WOO . >> -- COUNCILMEMBER MORALES. THANK YOU. THIS IS A PROVISO IN THE PAST I ACTUALLY ADDED THE MONEY TO THE BUDGET TO MAKE SURE THESE SERVICES GOT TAKEN CARE OF. I APPRECIATE THAT WE WERE ABLE TO DO IT WITH A PROVISO. AS BRIAN MENTIONED, HOPEFULLY WE WON'T HAVE TO DO THIS ANYMORE SINCE THE BOUNDARIES OF THE BIA ARE CHANGING. THAT WILL ALLOW THEM, HOPEFULLY, TO GENERATE THE KIND OF REVENUE THEY NEED TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES IN AN EXPANDED AREA . RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE LITTLE SAIGON IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE BIA, THEY DON'T GENERATE THE KIND OF REVENUE THEY NEED. HOPEFULLY WITH THOSE CHANGES, WE WILL NOT HAVE TO DO THIS AGAIN NEXT YEAR. THANK YOU. >> TAKE IT. COUNCILMEMBER WOO. >> I THINK THIS PROVISO -- WE WERE WORKING WITH THE MAYOR'S OFFICE ON THIS . FOR MY UNDERSTANDING, THERE WAS ALREADY 400,000 IN SBU FOR WORK IN THE CHINATOWN INTERNATIONAL DISTRICT. THIS DEDICATES THE FUNDING SPECIFICALLY FOR LITTLE SAIGON IN TERMS OF THINGS LIKE GRAFFITI CLEANUP. AND SO, I AM EXCITED THAT THE ENTIRE COMMITTEE SAW THAT THIS IS A PRIORITY, AND I WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU. >> I WILL ALSO CLARIFY THAT THE INFORMATION I PRESENTED WAS THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF INFORMATION I HAD. I ACTUALLY KNOW WHO THE COSPONSORS WERE. JUST PUTTING THAT ON THE RECORD. QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? MOVING ON. WE ARE MOVING INTO GROUP D. WE HAVE 27 ITEMS LEFT. IF TWO MINUTES WERE SPENT ON EACH ITEM, WE WILL BE HERE UNTIL 445. >> ARTS 10 WITH PROVISO OVER HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS OF ADMISSIONS TAX IN 2025 IN THE OFFICE OF ARTS AND CULTURE FOR CULTURAL PLANNING WORK. SPONSORED BY COUNCILMEMBER MORALES AND COSPONSORED BY COUNCIL MEMBERS HOLLINGSWORTH AND SAKA. THIS PROVISO WOULD BE ON $100,000 FOR ARTS TO CONDUCT CULTURAL PLANNING WORK THAT WOULD GIVE THEM A COMPREHENSIVE PICTURE OF THE CREATIVE ECONOMY IN SEATTLE. IT WOULD INCLUDE MAPPING OF ARTS AND CULTURAL ASSETS, INCLUDING WAGES AND STRATEGIES THAT WOULD KEEP ARTISTS IN SEATTLE. THE PROVISO ITSELF IS PLACED ON $100,000 INTENDED TO COME FROM THE 2.5 MILLION ADDED IN THE MAYOR'S PROPOSED BUDGET FOR THE DOWNTOWN ACTIVATION PLAN. >> THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER MORALES, AS SPONSOR, YOU ARE RECOGNIZE. >> THANK YOU. I TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE. WE KNOW THE OFFICE OF ARTS AND CULTURE COMPLETED AN INTERNAL FACING STRATEGIC PLAN IN THE LAST YEAR. THIS IS A PLAN THAT LOOKS OUT WORD AND REALLY LOOKS TO DO SOME MAPPING OF WHAT OUR CULTURAL ASSETS ARE. COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE HAS MENTIONED OFTEN THE ASSETS JUST IN HIS DISTRICT. THIS IS AN ATTEMPT FOR US TO UNDERSTAND ACROSS THE BOARD BUT WE HAVE IN THE CITY, AND PARTICULARLY HOW TO UNDERSTAND THE LIVELIHOOD THAT ARTISTS IN THE CITY ARE ABLE TO MAKE. THE INTENT IS TO DO AN ASSESSMENT OF THE KINDS OF JOBS AVAILABLE, WHAT KIND OF PAY THEY ARE MAKING. WHAT KIND OF ORGANIZATIONS HIRE OR COMMISSION ART . AND SO, THE INTENT HERE IS TO REALLY HELP US UNDERSTAND WHAT OUR CULTURAL SECTOR LOOKS LIKE. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. IS THAT AN OLD HAND? >> SORRY. >> QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? SEEN HIM. WE MOVE ONTO THE NEXT ITEM. >> NEXT ITEM IS ARTS 11. IT WOULD REQUEST THAT THE OFFICE OF ARTS AND CULTURE CREATE BOTH CITYWIDE AND MUNICIPAL ARTS PLANS . SPONSORED BY COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA AND CLOSE THAT'S COSPONSORED BY COUNCIL MEMBERS WOO AND NELSON. THIS ASKED FOR TWO DIFFERENT PLANS. VERSUS A CITYWIDE ART PLAN. THAT WOULD REQUEST THAT ARTS WORKS WITH CITY DEPARTMENTS THAT RECEIVE FUNDING FOR THIS IS RELATED TO ARTS AND CULTURE TO COLLABORATE ON A PLAN THAT WOULD GOVERN ARTS AND CULTURAL INVESTMENTS ACROSS THE CITY. THE PLAN IS INTENDED TO ADDRESS ANY ARTS FUNDING, WHETHER IT BE ADMISSIONS TAX, GENERAL FUND OR JUMPSTART FUNDING. AND CREATE A FRAMEWORK IN WHICH ARTS SERVES AS A CENTRAL REPOSITORY OF INFORMATION FOR ALL ARTS FUNDING BEING SPENT CITYWIDE. THE SECOND PART OF THE SLI IS FOR A MUNICIPAL ARTS PLAN THAT INCLUDES SPECIFIC INFORMATION , INCLUDING HOW NEW PROJECTS FOR PUBLIC ARTS FUNDING ARE SUPPORTED , COMPARING THE SIZE AND NUMBER OF NEW PROJECTS TO THE SIZE AND NUMBER OF PROJECTS FUNDED SINCE 2015. LANE HOW ARTS CONDUCTS OUTREACH AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT, PARTICULARLY TO COMMUNITIES OF COLOR WHO ARE UNDERREPRESENTED IN THE ARTS AND CULTURAL SECTOR, AND PROVIDE AN ANNUAL BALANCE OF UNPROGRAMMED FUNDS CARRIED OVER SINCE 2015. TO THE EXTENT THAT ARTS HAS THE CAPACITY TO DO THIS WORK, IT WOULD BE DUE BACK TO THE SUSTAINABILITY ARTS AND CULTURE COMMITTEE ON JUNE 30, 2025. >> THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA IS RECOGNIZED. >> THANK YOU. COLLEAGUES, THIS IS WORK THAT THE DEPARTMENT , ALL DEPARTMENTS ARE REQUIRED TO DO WORK PLANS. THIS IS REQUESTING THAT ARTS DO THEIR WORK PLAN. AS PART OF THEIR WORK PLAN, THEY ARE TO BE THE REPOSITORY OF THE INFORMATION FROM ALL DEPARTMENTS THAT RECEIVE ARTS AND CULTURE FUNNY. YOU KNOW SEATTLE CENTER RECEIVES ARTS AND CULTURE FUNNY, AS DOES METAL PARKS AND RECREATION BROKE THE FUNDING THAT GOES TO THOSE TWO DEPARTMENTS, AS PER THE CHAIR PACKAGE , IS GOING THROUGH THE OFFICE OF ARTS AND CULTURE. IT MAKES THE MOST SENSE FOR THE OFFICE OF ARTS AND CULTURE TO BE THAT REPOSITORY OF INFORMATION AND WORK WITH THEIR SISTER DEPARTMENTS TO GET THE INFORMATION FROM THEM AND INCLUDE THAT IN THEIR -- AS PART OF THEIR WORK PLAN AND THE TO US IN FOR EY ARE PRESEN TRANSPARENCY SAKE. ON THE MUNICIPAL ARTS PLAN VIA A FORMER ORDINANCE THAT COUNCIL HAD CREATED, THESE FOUR ITEMS LISTED WERE IN THE ORDINANCE AND WERE SUPPOSED TO BE REPORTING ON THESE FROM 2020 -- 2018 TO 2022 YEARLY . AND THAT PLAN DID NOT ACTUALLY HAPPEN. THEY SUBMITTED SPREADSHEETS THAT THEY CONSIDERED THIS MUNICIPAL ARTS PLANNING , BUT IT WASN'T AN ACTUAL ROBUST WRITTEN MUNICIPAL ARTS PLAN THAT CONTAINS THIS INFORMATION. SO THIS SLI IS REQUESTING THAT INFORMATION. THAT IS WHY IT DATES BACK TO 2015. SO WE CAN COLLECT ALL THIS INFORMATION. IT IS REALLY A TRANSPARENCY PIECE AND A GOOD GOVERNANCE PIECE IN TERMS OF THE MUNICIPAL ARTS PLAN, WHICH IS THE 1% FOR PUBLIC ARTS PROGRAM. AND ALSO THE CITYWIDE ART PLAN IS ALSO A GOOD GOVERNANCE TRANSPARENCY PIECE. LIKE I SAID, THIS IS FRIENDLY AMENDMENT. I TALKED TO THE MAYOR'S OFFICE, AND THEY ARE INSTRUCTING THE DEPARTMENT TO DO THIS WORK ANYWAY, LIKE I SAID, AS PART OF WORK PLANS THAT DEPARTMENT ARE REQUIRED TO DO EVERY YEAR. THANK YOU. >> QUESTIONS ? SEEN DONE, LET'S MOVE ON TO CARE 102. THE NEXT ITEM ON SECTION D IS CARE 102 . A STATEMENT OF LEGISLATIVE INTENT THAT WOULD REQUEST THAT THE CARE DEPARTMENT COORDINATE WITH THE HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT TO PROVIDE A WRITTEN REPORT TO THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE BY NO LATER THAN APRIL 1, 2025 DESCRIBING A PLAN TO CONTRACT THAT TRANSFER CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION AND OVERSIGHT OF THE CITY CONTRACT WITH LEAD , LET EVERYONE ADVANCE WITH DIGNITY, ALSO KNOWN AS LAW ENFORCEMENT ASSISTED DIVERSION, TO TRANSFER THAT CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION FROM HSD TO CARE. THIS REPORT SHOULD INCLUDE, WOULD INCLUDE INFORMATION ON THE FEASIBILITY COST AND ANTICIPATED TIMELINE OF THIS CONTRACT SHIFT AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION ON CONSIDERATIONS NECESSARY TO ENSURE CONTINUITY OF LEAD SERVICES AND CASE MANAGEMENT COORDINATION. THIS SLI A SPONSORED BY COUNCILMEMBER MOORE AND COSPONSORED BY COUNCIL MEMBERS KETTLE AND SAKA. >> A SPONSOR, YOU ARE RECOGNIZE. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AS WE KNOW, I THINK LEAD HAS BEEN A GREAT TOOL FOR CONNECTING PEOPLE IN CRISIS TO SERVICES. THIS WOULD ALLOW CARE AND HSD TO LOOK AT WHETHER WEED WOULD BE BETTER ABLE TO CONNECT PEOPLE WITH SERVICES BY MOVING TO BE UNDER THE CARE DEPARTMENT RATHER THAN WHERE IT IS CURRENTLY HOUSED IN HSD GIVEN THAT LEAD HAS REALLY WORKED IN AND OPERATED AS A PUBLIC SAFETY RESOURCE. CRISIS CARE RESPONDERS INTERACT WITH PERSONS WHO MAY BE PARTICIPANTS IN LEAD. THIS COULD ALSO BE A MORE DIRECT AND EFFICIENT WAY OF USING THE LEAD SERVICES AND COORDINATING. THIS IS JUST TO BEGIN THAT EXPLORATION AND CONVERSATION. INC. YOU. >> THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE, AS COSPONSOR, YOU ARE RECOGNIZE. >> ALSO THANK YOU COUNCILMEMBER MOORE . YES, WE HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT BOTH WITH LEAD AND CARE , AND FROM A PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE PERSPECTIVE, I AM SUPPORTIVE AS COSPONSOR OF THIS ITEM , THIS AMENDMENT, 140. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? LET'S MOVE ON TO FG 104. IT IS A SLI THAT REQUESTS CENTRAL STAFF TO DEVELOP LEGISLATION TO OPPOSE A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES EXCISE TAX. THERE WOULD BE A 1% TAX THAT WOULD COVER PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO SERVICES PROVIDED BY REALTORS ARCHITECTS ACCOUNTANTS AND CONSULTANTS. THE DEADLINE FOR HAVING THIS LEGISLATION DEVELOPED WOULD BE JUNE 30. IT WOULD BE JUNE 30, 2025. IT WOULD BE RESPONSIVE TO THE FINANCE NATIVE COMMUNITIES AND TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS COMMITTEE. >> I LOVE THAT COMMITTEE. >> -- COUNCILMEMBER MORALES, A SPONSOR, YOU ARE RECOGNIZE. YES. SORRY. >> YOU ARE FINE. I THINK WE'VE ONLY BEEN HERE SINCE 9:30. >> I'M SORRY. TELL ME WHAT NUMBER WE ARE ON. >> YOUR OWN PROFESSIONAL SERVICES. >> THINK YOU VERY MUCH. >> OKAY. THANK YOU, TOM. [ LAUGHTER ] OH MY GOSH. THIS -- THESE ARE TWO SLI. GOING BACK TO THE CONVERSATION WE WERE HAVING THIS MORNING , THE REQUEST IS TO ASK CENTRAL STAFF TO DEVELOP LEGISLATION FOR TWO DIFFERENT ADDITIONAL SOURCES OF REVENUE . ONE IS FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, WHAT IS FOR THE DIGITAL AT TAX , AND THE IDEA IS TO TRY TO GENERATE ANOTHER -- WHILE THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, AS WE HEARD FROM LAW -- I KNOW. THE ESTIMATES ARE THAT THE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES EXCISE TAX HAS THE POTENTIAL TO RAISE ABOUT $70 MILLION A YEAR, THE DIGITAL AT TAX HAS THE POTENTIAL TO RAISE ABOUT $20 MILLION A YEAR. SO I THINK IT IS WORTH US CONSIDERING TO DO THIS NEXT YEAR AND SEE IF WE CAN ADD THAT TO THE MIX. >> THANK YOU. QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? WE HAVE MORE TIME FOR DISCUSSION TOMORROW. COUNCILMEMBER SAKA. >> WE DISCUSSED A LITTLE BIT OF THESE EARLIER THIS MORNING, BUT I JUST WANT TO NOTE, I MENTIONED EARLIER THIS MORNING, THERE ARE NUMBER OF ITEMS I COSPONSOR TO ELEVATE THE DISCUSSION AND BE A GOOD COLLEAGUE. I JUST WANT TO CALL OUT THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE OTHER ONE, EVEN THOUGH I AM NOT INCLINED TO BE SUPPORTIVE THIS YEAR. ALTHOUGH, I GUESS, GOOD NEWS ABOUT THIS ONE AND THE ONE FOLLOWING THAT IS THAT THEY CALL FOR STUDIES TO FURTHER STUDY THE ISSUE AND PROPOSED LEGISLATION. IN ANY EVENT, JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY. THANK YOU. >> COUNCIL PRESIDENT NELSON. >> JUST A POINT OF INFORMATION FOR ME. I UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS DIRECTING CENTRAL STAFF TO DO SOMETHING. DO WE JUST ASK? I WOULD LIKE TO DO A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT. BUT WHICH IS THE EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT? WOULD THAT BE FAS? WHICH DEPARTMENT WOULD ULTIMATELY IMPLEMENT A TAX LIKE THIS IN COORDINATION WITH THAT DEPARTMENT? >> I CAN ADDRESS THE SECOND QUESTION AND TURN IT OVER TO DIRECTOR NOBLE. THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES WOULD ADMINISTER THE TAX WITH THE WORK I WILL PERFORM THAT WOULD BE IN CONSULTATION WITH THEM AND THE LAW DEPARTMENT . >> THANK YOU . >> WITH RESPECT TO THE FORM OF THIS PROPOSAL, COUNCILMEMBER MORALES APPROACHED ME WITH AN INTERESTING -- INTEREST IN ADVANCING THE POLICY PROPOSAL >> THE TIMEFRAME WE HAD WITH THAT THE CONSIDERATION OF THE BUDGET, WASN'T GOING TO BE POSSIBLE TO DRAFT UP THE BILLS. BUT HER INTENT WAS TO MOVE FORWARD AND IMPLEMENT THEM. WE SAW THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COUNCIL AS A WHOLE TO EXPRESS ITS PERSPECTIVE ON WHETHER OR NOT THESE REVENUE SOURCES WERE SOMETHING OF INTEREST AND WORTH PURSUING AND DEVELOPING INTO LEGISLATION. THAT WAS REALLY OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COUNCIL TO SPEAK ITS COLLECTIVE VOICE ON THESE ISSUES. OR NOT. PERHAPS A LITTLE UNUSUAL, BUT IN THE CIRCUMSTANCES, I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD CLEAN WAY TO BE DIRECT AND CALL THE QUESTION. THAT IS THE INTENT. HAVING SAID THAT, I WILL LEAVE IT TO COUNSEL MEMBER MORALES TO SAY ANYTHING MORE. >> THAT IS ACCURATE . >> ANYTHING FURTHER? >> NO. >> THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER MOORE AND THEN KETTLE. THE BACK TO COUNCILMEMBER MORALES FOR LAST WORD. >> THANK YOU. I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO COUNCILMEMBER MORALES FOR BRINGING FORTH THIS ADDITIONAL POTENTIAL REVENUE SOURCE. THANK YOU. >> COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE. >> CHAIR STRAUSS, THANK YOU. MY QUESTION KIND OF GOES TO A POINT I MADE NOT TOO LONG AGO REGARDING CBA AND SLI REALLY BEING COMMITTEE WORK. DID YOU SAY THIS WOULD GO TO FINANCE COMMITTEE? >> THAT'S CORRECT. >> OKAY. THANK YOU. >> COUNCILMEMBER MORALES. LAST WORD . >> I AM DONE. >> OKAY. BACK TO YOU, CENTRAL STAFF, FOR ITEM 141. 142. SORRY. >> A STATEMENT OF LEGISLATIVE INTENT THAT REQUESTS CENTRAL STAFF TO DEVELOP LEGISLATION TO IMPOSE A DIGITAL ADVERTISING EXCISE TAX. IN MORE DETAIL, THIS WOULD IMPOSE A 5% TAX ON DIGITAL ADVERTISING SERVICES ARE AS ON A DIGITAL INTERFACE, INCLUDING BANNER ADVERTISING SEARCH ENGINE ADVERTISING , INTERSTITIAL ADVERTISING, AND OTHER COMPARABLE ADVERTISING SERVICES. SIMILAR TO THE PRIOR SLI, THIS WOULD BE DUE TO THE FINANCE NATIVE COMMUNITIES AND TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS COMMITTEE BY JUNE 30, 2025. >> THANK YOU. COUNSEL MEMBER MORALES. >> PLEASE SEE MY PREVIOUS REMARKS. >> I SPOKE TO THIS IN THE PREVIOUS SLI. I'M LOOKING FOR OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT ADDITIONAL REVENUE IN THE CITY. >> THANK YOU. COLLEAGUES, QUESTIONS? COUNCIL PRESIDENT. I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT, I HAD MY HAND UP . A QUICK QUESTION ABOUT THE PREVIOUS ONE . IS THAT ALL RIGHT? >> SURE . >> HOW ARE THOSE PROFESSIONS CHOSEN FOR THE SERVICE TAX? >> I DEFER TO THE SPONSOR ON THAT. >> I WILL BRING THIS BACK IN. COUNCILMEMBER MORALES, A SPONSOR, SPOKE TO BOTH HIM AND HIS. WE HAVE HAD TIME WITH CENTRAL STAFF. CLEARLY THE INTENT OF THESE AMENDMENT WILL BE TO HAVE FURTHER DISCUSSION NEXT YEAR. WITH TIME OF THE ESSENCE THIS EVENING, ASK YOU TO HOLD YOUR QUESTIONS UNTIL TOMORROW, OR A FUTURE DATE. IS OR SOMETHING BURNING RIGHT NOW? >> IF WE ARE GOING TO BE VOTING OR SIGNALING OUR SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION TOMORROW, I JUST WAS THINKING THAT COULD BE AN IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION. >> COUNCILMEMBER MORALES, INTERESTED IN HAVING THE CONVERSATION? I CAN TALK WITH YOU OFF-LINE. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. COLLEAGUES, AS YOU CAN SEE, GROUP D IS A LITTLE BIT MORE CONVERSATIONAL THAN GROUP C. ON TO THE NEXT ITEM. >> ALL RIGHT. I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT HSD ZERO 24. THIS WOULD PROVISO $350,000 IN HSD FOR A SEASONAL WINTER WEATHER SHELTER IN DISTRICT 5. COUNCIL INTENT IS THAT KING COUNTY REGIONAL HOMELESSNESS AUTHORITY -- INTENT IS THAT UNDER SPEND FROM KING COUNTY REGIONAL HOMELESSNESS AUTHORITIES MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT 2024 MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH A JUST HE WOULD BE UTILIZED TO PAY FOR THE CBA SO IT WOULD NOT IMPACT EXISTING PROGRAMS OR SERVICES. KCRHA WOULD ADMINISTER THE FUNDING AND SHOULD SEEK PROPOSALS IN A MANNER THAT ALLOW FOR TIMELY OPENING OF A WINTER SHELTER IN 2025 . FUNDING SHOULD BE USED FOR PROPOSALS THAT MEET THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA. A SEASONAL WEATHER SHELTER OPEN CONTINUOUSLY DURING WINTER MONTHS AT A FACILITY WITH THE CAPACITY TO ALSO BE USED AS AN ENHANCED DAY SHELTER, AND WITH A PROVISO THAT HAS DEMONSTRATED EXPERTISE WITH COORDINATED ENTRY INTO PERMANENT HOUSING SUCH AS LAKE CITY PARTNERS . JUST AS A POINT OF COMPARISON, KCRHA DOES ADMINISTER SHELTERS DURING SEVERE WEATHER ON BEHALF OF THE CITY OF SEATTLE. THEY OPERATE AT LEAST TWO, WHAT IS CITY HALL AND ONE AT THE SEATTLE CENTER. THOSE -- THERE ARE NO SEVERE WEATHER SHELTERS ANYWHERE IN NORTH SEATTLE. IS A REALLY SEVERE WEATHER SHELTERS OPEN TEMPORARILY DURING A PERIOD OF SEVERE WEATHER LIKE A STREAM THE COLD WEATHER OR COLD OR SNOW. USUALLY ONLY OPEN FOR A FEW DAYS AT A TIME. THIS IS A DIFFERENT CONCEPT THAT WOULD FUND SEASONAL WEATHER SHELTER WOULD BE OPEN CONTINUOUSLY DURING THE WINTER MONTHS. AND AGAIN, BE LOCATED IN DISTRICT 5 WHERE THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO SEASONAL OR SEVERE WEATHER SHELTERS AVAILABLE. >> THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER MOORE, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR WORK ON THIS. ALSO, THANK YOU VERY MUCH COUNCILMEMBER WOO FOR COSPONSORING THIS. I DON'T REALLY HAVE A LOT TO ADD TO IT. JUST THAT NORTH SEATTLE DOES HAVE A LARGE HOMELESS POPULATION . UNFORTUNATELY, EVEN THOUGH THE CITY IS PROVIDING FREE TRANSPORTATION TO SEATTLE CENTER DURING EXTREME WEATHER, MANY PEOPLE DON'T TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT BECAUSE THEY WANT TO REMAIN WITH THEIR FRIENDS AND COMMUNITY . AND SO, WE'RE REALLY TRYING TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO ACCESS SHELTER, NOT JUST ON THE COLDEST DAYS OF THE YEAR, BUT THROUGHOUT THE COLD WEATHER . THAT IS WHY WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A SEASONAL SHELTER. ALSO, THE OTHER BENEFIT OF A SEASONAL SHELTER IS THAT IT PROVIDES MORE TIME FOR PEOPLE TO COME TO THE SAME PLACE, ESTABLISHING RELATIONSHIPS THAT CAN HOPEFULLY LEAD TO HELPING PEOPLE GET PLACED INTO PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING OR SOME OTHER LONG-TERM HOUSING, WHICH THE OAKS RIGHT ON THE BORDERLINE AT SHORELINE RUNS GOD'S LITTLE ACRE, THE DAY CENTER THAT IS BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL AT DOING SO. THAT IS THE ADDITIONAL BENEFIT TO HAVING A SEASONAL SHELTER. >> THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA . >> THANK YOU, CHAIR. IS SAYS THERE ARE NO SEASONAL WEATHER SHELTERS OPEN CONTINUOUSLY ANYWHERE. IS THAT RIGHT? >> THAT IS CORRECT. AS I MENTIONED, KCRHA DOES OPERATE ON BEHALF OF THE CITY . THESE ARE MADE UP TERMS. SEVERE WEATHER SHELTERS ARE JUST OPEN FOR THE VERY TEMPORARY PERIOD OF TIME, BUT THERE IS NO SHELTER IN SEATTLE THAT IS SEASONAL AND OPEN CONTINUOUSLY THROUGH THE WINTER MONTHS. >> AND SO, IF -- I MEAN, I GUESS I HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT DASHES SEEMS LIKE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE NEEDED IN EVERY DISTRICT ACROSS THE CITY IF WE ARE GOING TO BE SOMETHING NEW THAT WILL CONTINUINGLY BE OPEN. WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF SEASONAL? BECAUSE SEVERE WEATHER, EVERYONE KNOWS IT IS A SNOWSTORM OR IF THERE WERE A STORM OF SOME KIND, YOU KNOW. I KNOW WE DO OPERATE THOSE. COUNCILMEMBER MOORE, I KNOW WE TRAVEL AROUND AND PICK PEOPLE UP AND BRING THEM THERE. I HAVE HAD -- I BEEN IN THE CITY WHEN WE OF HAD TO DO THIS. THIS WOULD BE A NEW SERVICE WE DON'T PROVIDE. IS THAT CORRECT?. I THINK IT IS FAIR TO SAY WE WOULD BE OFFERING A SERVICE THAT IS NOT CURRENTLY PROVIDED. I HAVE HEARD THAT THIS WAS THE SEASONAL SHELTER DONE PRE-COVID. BUT I DON'T KNOW A LOT ABOUT THAT. THERE IS NO SEASONAL WEATHER SHELTER CURRENTLY OPEN IN THE CITY. >> OKAY. AND SO, IT SEEMS LIKE THERE WOULD BE SOME KIND OF GATHERING OF INFORMATION BEFORE WE COULD REALLY SAY WHERE THEY SHOULD BE -- WHAT IT SHOULD ENCOMPASS WHERE IT SHOULD BE LOCATED. I JUST FEEL LIKE I NEED MORE INFORMATION, BECAUSE AGAIN, THIS IS A NEED ACROSS THE CITY. AND SO, I'M NOT EVEN SURE. >> I THINK THIS PROVISO IS TRYING TO SOLVE TWO PROBLEMS. ONE IS THAT THERE IS JUST NO SEVERE OR SEASONAL WEATHER SHELTER IN DISTRICT 5. OR IN NORTH SEATTLE. IF SOMEBODY IS UNSHELTERED AND NEEDS SHELTER DURING A SEVERE WEATHER EVENT, LIKE EXTREME COLD OR SNOW, THEY HAVE TO TRAVEL SOUTH , PROBABLY THE SEATTLE CENTER BEING THE CLOSEST LOCATION. THEN ALSO, COUNCILMEMBER MOORE HAS FOUND THAT SHE HAS A PREFERENCE FOR A SEASONAL WEATHER SHELTER THAT WOULD BE OPEN FOR THAT ENTIRE WINTER PERIOD IN ORDER TO HAVE THOSE RELATIONSHIPS AND PROVIDE MORE OPPORTUNITY TO ACCESS SERVICE. IT IS DOING TWO THINGS. >> AND IS THERE ONE ON THE SOUTH END? MY UNDERSTANDING IT IS JUST SEATTLE CENTER AND CITY HALL AS THE PLACES WE'VE ALWAYS USE. WERE ACTUALLY BRINGING PEOPLE FROM THE SOUTH, THE WEST, THE NORTH. >> I DO THINK THERE MIGHT BE ONE IN THE SOUTH END. I CAN TRY TO CONFIRM THAT FOR YOU. BUT I BELIEVE THAT THERE HAS BEEN AN ADDITIONAL ONE OPERATED IN THE SOUTH END IN THE PAST. >> THAT WOULD BE GREAT INFORMATION. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? >> NOT AT THE MOMENT. THANK YOU. >> I AM GOING TO ASK SOME QUESTIONS AND THEN , COUNCILMEMBER MOORE, TELL ME IF I GOT IT RIGHT OR WRONG. WE DO HAVE SHELTERS IN NORTH SEATTLE IN DISTRICT 5. THEY ARE YEAR-ROUND 24/7 NON-CONGREGANT SHELTERS. I BELIEVE, AND I COULD BE WRONG, THAT DURING SEVERE WEATHER INCIDENTS, WHETHER HEAT OR COLD, THAT THERE IS A SEVERE WEATHER SHELTER IN SHORELINE, BUT NOT SEATTLE, NORTH SEATTLE. IT IS TOO FAR . WE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. WHAT I'M HEARING IS THAT THIS IS -- THIS IS WHERE ANY CORRECTION IF I AM WRONG. THIS WOULD BE 24/7 NON-CONGREGANT SHELTER THAT IS OPERATED FOR A SERIES OF MONTHS , FOR EXAMPLE, BETWEEN OCTOBER AND MARCH. >> I THINK IT IS FAIR TO SAY THIS WOULD BE SHELTER THAT WOULD BE OPEN CONTINUOUSLY FOR A PERIOD DEFINED AS WINTER TO BE DETERMINED. NOT NECESSARILY NON-CONGREGANT . I THINK IT WOULD DEPEND ON THE FACILITY IDENTIFIED AND THE BUDGET PROVIDED THROUGH THIS PROVISO . AND THEN, YES, OPEN THROUGHOUT THAT TIME. EXACT HOURS, WHAT THAT WOULD MEAN, I THINK THAT IS ALL TO BE DETERMINED. IT DOESN'T GO INTO THAT LEVEL OF DETAIL. I WOULD JUST STATE THAT I AM ENHANCED CONGREGANT SHELTER THAT IS ACCESSIBLE 24 SEVEN WITH THE ABILITY TO HAVE A PET AND COME AND GO IS THE CLOSEST TO CONGREGANT SHELTER I AM COMFORTABLE SUPPORTING. COUNCIL PRESIDENT, I SEE YOUR HAND, AND THEN COUNCILMEMBER MOORE WILL HAVE THE LAST WORD. >> WE KEEP SAYING SEVERE, SEASONAL, ET CETERA, BUT THIS IS ALSO INCLUDE HOT WEATHER? OR IS THIS JUST IN THE COOLER MONTHS? >> THIS PARTICULAR CBA IS ONLY TALKING ABOUT SHELTER , TEMPORARY , SEASONAL OR SEVERE, DURING THE WINTER MONTHS, NOT TO SAY THERE MIGHT NOT BE A NEED FOR SUMMER, THIS IS SPECIFIC TO WINTER MONTHS. >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER MOORE . I WILL PASS IT OVER TO YOU FOR THE LAST WORD ON THIS AMENDMENT FOR THE MOMENT . >> LET ME JUST SAY, WE NEED THE SHELTERS ALL OVER, BUT WE DESPERATELY NEED A SEASONAL WINTER SHELTER IN DISTRICT 5. THIS WOULD PREFERABLY BE A NON-CONGREGANT. IF YOU LOOK AT THE WAY IT IS WRITTEN, THE PROVIDER SEASONAL WEATHER SHELTER OPEN CONTINUOUSLY DURING WINTER MONTHS, IDEALLY NOVEMBER THROUGH MARCH FACILITY WITH THE CAPACITY ALSO TO BE USED AS AN ENHANCED DAY SHELTER, AND WITH THE PROVIDER THAT HAS DEMONSTRATED EXPERTISE WITH COORDINATED ENTRY INTO PERMANENT HOUSING, SUCH AS LAKE CITY PARTNERS. WE HAVE A TINY HOUSE VILLAGE , A FEW TINY HOUSE VILLAGES IN DISTRICT 5. WE DON'T HAVE PASSION WE HAVE A HOTEL. BUT WE DON'T HAVE THIS MODEL . YOU KNOW, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT DRIVES AROUND AND PICKS UP SOME PEOPLE, BUT WHEN I WENT DOWN TO THE SEATTLE CENTER TO VOLUNTEER DOWN THERE, THERE WERE NO DISTRICT 5 PEOPLE THERE. THEY JUST DON'T WANT TO GO BECAUSE THEY ARE LEAVING THEIR COMMUNITY. THE PROVIDERS IN DISTRICT 5, GOD'S LITTLE ACRE, THE MENNONITE CHURCH, LAKE CITY PARTNERS, THEY HAVE ALL SAID TO ME REPEATEDLY THAT WE NEED SHELTER UP HERE. WE NEED SEASONAL WEATHER SHELTER. IT WOULD BE CONGREGANT ONLY TO THE EXTENT THAT IT WOULD BE ENHANCED CONGREGANT, I GUESS IS WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY. AGAIN, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THIS -- ACTUALLY SEE THIS AS A MODEL WE COULD UTILIZE ACROSS THE CITY . WE DEFINITELY NEED TO START IN DISTRICT 5. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. WERE GOING TO MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ITEM, HSD 35. >> THIS WOULD INCREASE HSD BY $315,000 JUMPSTART FUND ONE TIME IN 2025 FOR YOUTH VIOLENCE PREVENTION ACTIVITIES. IT WOULD FUND THIS BY DECREASING SPR BY THE SAME AMOUNT ONE TIME IN 2025 FROM FUNDING THAT WAS DESIGNATED ORIGINALLY FOR THE YOUTH CONNECTOR PROJECT, WHICH IS A NEW ONE TIME PROPOSAL INCLUDED IN THE MAHER'S PROPOSED BUDGET. IT WOULD IMPOSE A PROVISO NAMING SPECIFIC YOUTH SERVING ORGANIZATIONS TO GET ALLOTMENTS OF ONE-TIME MONEY. THIS IS SPONSORED BY COUNCILMEMBER HOLLINGSWORTH, COSPONSORED BY COUNCILMEMBER WOO AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT NELSON. I WILL NOTE, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER DURING DISCUSSION , THE PARTICIPATORY BUDGETING ORDINANCE AMENDMENTS. THE CONTENT OF THE SERVICES TO BE FUNDED BY THIS ARE INCLUDED IN AMENDMENT ONE VERSION 2 TO THE LEGISLATION. SO SHOULD THAT AMENDMENT PASSED TOMORROW , THE CBA WOULD BE RENDERED MOOT, ESSENTIALLY. AND I WILL LET THE SPONSOR SPEAK MORE TO THAT . >> THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER HOLLINGSWORTH. YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >> MR. JOHNSON IS CORRECT. THIS IS INCLUDED IN THE PARTICIPATORY BUDGET WITH DIFFERENT TYPES OF FUNDING SOURCE . THAT WAS A CONCERN FOR THIS BECAUSE THE FUNDING SOURCE THAT THIS IS COMING FROM IS THE YOUTH APP FOR MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR KIDS TO BE ABLE TO FIND DIFFERENT RESOURCES WITHIN THE CITY. WE DENSELY DON'T WANT TO BE TAKING FROM THAT. IS SO, THE HOPE IS THAT WE CAN BE ABLE TO MOVE THIS TO PARTICIPATORY BUDGET, AND THIS WILL BE PULLED FROM THE AGENDA. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. I WOULD LIKE TO RECORD TO REFLECT THAT THE STREET LIGHTS ARE ON. MOVING ON. QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? MOVING ONTO THE NEXT ITEM. >> HSD 36 WOULD INCREASE HSD BY $100,000 GENERAL FUND 2025 FOR CONTRACTED SERVICES TO WE DELIVER CARE AND REDUCE CBO BY $1000 GENERAL FUND IN 2025 , ORIGINALLY INTENDED FOR PAYROLL EXPENSE TAX EVALUATION . THIS IS SPONSORED BY COUNCILMEMBER WOO, COSPONSORED BY COUNCIL MEMBERS KETTLE AND MOORE. THIS WOULD SPECIFY THAT FUNDS BE DIRECTED TO WE DELIVER CARE FOR SERVICES , SAFETY ENHANCEMENT SERVICES, SPECIFIC TO THE LITTLE SAIGON AREA OF CHINATOWN INTERNATIONAL DISTRICT NEIGHBORHOOD IN 2025 ONLY. >> THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER WOO, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. THINK IT'S A MUCH. TAKE YOU FOR MY COSPONSORS. AS HE SAW OVER THIS WEEKEND, THERE WAS A MASS CASUALTY EVENT IN LITTLE SAIGON DUE TO THE EFFECTS OF WHAT IS HAPPENING ON 12th AND JACKSON. I BELIEVE THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF INEQUALITY WHEN IT COMES TO OUR RESPONSE TO THAT AREA. WATCHING WHAT WE ARE SEEING ON THIRD, PIKE AND PINE. THE RESOURCES GOING TO THAT AREA, I BELIEVE READING SOMETHING SIMILAR. WE SAW THIS WEEKEND ESPECIALLY A VERY VIOLENT EVENT . UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS NOT SURPRISING FOR MANY PEOPLE WHO WORK AND LIVE IN THAT AREA. AND SO, I THINK IF THERE IS TIME TO ACT IN TIME TO HAVE AN APPROPRIATE RESPONSE , WE NEED A CONSTANT PRESENCE AT 12th AND JACKSON. WE CANNOT DEPEND ON OUR UNDERSTAFFED POLICE DEPARTMENT BUT I BELIEVE THE WORK THAT WE DELIVER CARE DO WORKS, AND IT IS SOMETHING THAT THIS AREA DESPERATELY NEEDS. AND SO, I KNOW THERE IS FUNDING IN OTHER PARTS OF THE BUDGET FOR WE DELIVER CARE AND LEAD TO HAVE A PRESENCE, BUT IN ORDER TO REALLY TACKLE THIS ISSUE BASED ON THE ISSUE THIS PAST WEEKEND, WE HAVE TO HAVE A VERY STRONG RESPONSE BUT THIS IS MORE FUNDING TO BE ABLE TO GET THESE TEAMS TO BE BASED IN THAT AREA AND BE PRESENT AND ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO DO THAT WORK TO HELP RELIEVE SOME OF THE SITUATIONS THAT THE BUSINESS OWNERS AND RESIDENTS ARE SEEING AND FEELING EVERY SINGLE DAY. >> THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER WOO. ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR I KNOW COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE HAS AN AMENDMENT TO INCREASE THE WE DELIVER CARE BY THE $500,000. I'M WONDERING WHY EXPANDED SERVICES. CAN'T THIS WORK HAPPEN OUT OF THAT? THE EXISTING -- WHAT WE ARE ADDING IF THE BUDGET PASSES ? I UNDERSTAND THE ADDITIONAL 100,000 FOR THIS SERVICE GIVEN WE ARE ADDING , POTENTIALLY, THE 500,000 AS AN AMENDMENT . >> COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA, GOOD QUESTION. I WILL REFOCUS AS I SEE ALSO MEMBER WOO HAS HER HAND UP. I WILL REFOCUS US TO PART OF THE DISCUSSION WE WILL HAVE . THAT IS THE APPROPRIATE PLACE FOR THIS TYPE OF DISCUSSION. THANK YOU. >> COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE'S AMENDMENT IS EXPANSION OF WE DELIVER CARE TO BELLTOWN , THIRD, LOWERS HER, AND CID, A LARGE COVERAGE AREA. I AM HOPING TO HAVE A DEDICATED TEAM IN THE CID TO BE ABLE TO BE PRESENT AT ALL TIMES, BECAUSE THE COVERAGE AREA IS VERY LARGE TO DEPLOY THESE TEAMS WOULD TAKE TIME TO GET TO CERTAIN AREAS. >> THANK YOU. IT SOUNDS LIKE -- COLONIES, YOU HAVE THE DISCUSSION OUTLINE. THE OUTCOME WE ARE TRYING TO ACHIEVE HER NOTES MAKING SURE EVERYONE IS AWARE OF EVERYTHING WE ARE GOING TO VOTE ON. WITH THAT, LET'S MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ITEM. >> THE NEXT ITEM IS HSD 039 THAT WOULD INCREASE HSD BY $527,000 JUMPSTART FUND 2025 AND $527,000.22 FOR HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION SERVICES AND DECREASE SDCI BY THE SAME AMOUNT IN JUMPSTART FUND 2025 AND 2026 FOR TENANT SERVICES. THIS EFFECTIVELY IS A TRANSFER OF FUNDING FROM APPROPRIATION FROM SDCI TO THE HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT . THE PROPOSED BUDGET WOULD APPROPRIATE ABOUT 1.$8 MILLION AND $127,000 WOULD BE USED FOR CONTRACTS FOR EVICTION LEGAL DEFENSE. THIS ACTUALLY WOULD TRANSFER OF THAT APPROPRIATION TO HSD . THE INTENT IS THAT DISPERSAL WILL BE MADE TO QUALIFYING HOUSEHOLDS ON NOTIFICATION OF AN EVICTION SETTLEMENT . THE TARGET WOULD REMAIN HOUSE. THIS IS SPONSORED BY COUNCILMEMBER MOORE, RIVERA AND NELSON. >> PICK UP. COUNCILMEMBER MOORE, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED . >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THE INTENT HERE IS THAT ALL RENTAL ASSISTANCE BE HOUSED IN ONE PLACE. CURRENTLY OFFICE OF HOUSING RENTAL ASSISTANCE THROUGH THE HOUSING LEVY HAS AN MOU WITH HSD. SO THE MONEY IS HOUSED WITH HSD. HOPEFULLY, MY BUDGET AMENDMENT TO INCREASE RENTAL ASSISTANCE WILL GO THROUGH, AND THAT MONEY WOULD ALSO BE HOUSED AT HSD THE THOUGHT BEING THAT THE RENTAL ASSISTANCE MONEY THAT IS CURRENTLY IN SDCI, WHICH IS BASICALLY HOUSED WITH CATHOLIC COMMUNITY SERVICES AS PART OF THEIR EVICTION DEFENSE PACKAGE , THEY WOULD NO LONGER HOLD ONTO THE MONEY. THAT MONEY WOULD BE GIVEN TO HSD FOR THE PURPOSES OF RENT ARREARS SETTLEMENT. SO THAT ALL THE RENTAL ASSISTANCE AND RENTER ARREARS MONEY IS HOUSED IN ONE PLACE. WHAT IS CONTEMPLATED IS, IF WERE TO COME TO SETTLEMENT ON BEHALF OF SOMEBODY WHO IS LOOKING AT BEING EVICTED, THEY WOULD NOTIFY HSD A SETTLEMENT HAD BEEN REACHED. THE TERMS OF THAT SETTLEMENT WOULD REQUIRE THAT THE TENANT BE ALLOWED TO REMAIN HOUSE BECAUSE WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW SOMETIMES IS THAT A SETTLEMENT IS REACHED, BUT THE TENANT , THEY LOSE THEIR HOUSING. SO WE WANT TO PREVENT THAT FROM HAPPENING. IT BASICALLY JUST KEEPS THE MONEY . IT STILL CAN BE USED FOR RENT ARREARS, IT IS JUST THAT HDP OR CATHOLIC COMMUNITY SERVICES WOULD NEED TO GIVE NOTIFICATION TO HSD TO RELEASE THE MONEY FOR RENT ARREARS BASED ON THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT. >> THANK YOU. QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS AT THIS TIME? MORE TIME FOR DISCUSSION TOMORROW. LET'S MOVE ON TO HSD 40 . >> A STATEMENT OF LEGISLATIVE INTENT THAT REQUESTS THAT THE HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT REPORT ON HOW BEST TO DISTRIBUTE RENTAL ASSISTANCE TO ENSURE MAXIMUM DISTRIBUTION TO HOUSEHOLDS AT RISK OF HOMELESSNESS OR EVICTION OR CURRENTLY HOMELESS OR IN EVICTION PROCEEDINGS. THIS WILL BE A REPORT TO THE HOUSING AND HUMAN SERVICES COMMITTEE BY JUNE 30 OF NEXT YEAR . THE REPORT WOULD REFINE THE PROCESS THAT EACH DECENT -- HSD USES FOR THE HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION SERVICES . AMONG THE REQUIREMENTS IN THE REPORT, ONE OF THE ATTRIBUTES WOULD BE A DISCUSSION ON RESEARCH ON BEST PRACTICES FOR IDENTIFYING AND TARGETING HOUSEHOLDS MOST RISK OF HOMELESSNESS OR FOR PROPHYLACTIC SERVICES TO REMAIN HOUSE. AN EXPEDITION OF HOW THE APPROACH INCORPORATES THOSE IDENTIFIED BEST PRACTICES , THE RESULTS OF A RACIAL EQUITY TOOLKIT, A DESCRIPTION OF OUTCOME DATA THAT WOULD BE COLLECTED BY SUCCESSFUL ORGANIZATIONS THAT COMPETE FOR THE RFP AND A TIMELINE FOR RELEASING THE RFP. THIS IS SPONSORED BY COUNCIL MEMBERS MOORE, MORALE IS AN KETTLE. >> AS SPONSOR, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU. AGAIN, RENTAL ASSISTANCE IS FAR MORE COST-EFFECTIVE AT KEEPING PEOPLE HOUSE THAN TRYING TO GET PEOPLE BACK INTO HOUSING WHEN THEY HAVE LOST THEIR HOUSING. I HAVE HEARD FROM MANY CONSTITUENTS HOW THEY ARE UNSURE OF WHAT RENTAL ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE TO THEM AND HOW TO KNOW WHERE THOSE FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE . 211 IS A VERY DIFFICULT SYSTEM TO NAVIGATE AND IT OFTEN DOESN'T HAVE UPDATED INFORMATION. THE POINT OF THIS IS THIS REQUEST WOULD ALLOW US TO INCREASE TRANSPARENCY FOR PEOPLE IN NEED OF RENTAL ASSISTANCE, AND ALSO ALLOW US TO MAXIMIZE THE NUMBER OF HOUSEHOLDS THAT ARE RECEIVING THIS SUPPORT. THAT IS WHY I'M BRINGING THIS FORWARD. >> THANK YOU. COLLEAGUES, ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME? SEE NONE. LET'S MOVE ON TO HSD 41. >> IT WOULD INCREASE APPROPRIATIONS TO HSD BY $3.3 MILLION FOR RENTAL ASSISTANCE. IT WOULD BE A ONE-TIME 2025 AD . THERE'S APPROXIMATELY 4.6 MILLION IN THE BASE. IT WOULD APPROPRIATE ABOUT 1.9 MILLION IN 2025 FOR RENTAL ASSISTANCE. THE CBA WOULD BRING THE TOTAL TO ABOUT $10 MILLION. THIS RESPONSE BY COUNCILMEMBER SAKA, MOORE AND MORALES. >> THANK YOU. I HAVE TOO MANY OF THEM HERE. ANYWAY. THANK YOU. THIS BASICALLY TAKES 3.3 MILLION FROM THE PROPOSED JUMPSTART RESERVES AND COMMITS THEM TO RENTAL ASSISTANCE TO ENSURE WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY 10 MILLION AVAILABLE IN 2025 FOR RENTAL ASSISTANCE I WANT TO NOTE THAT THE RENTAL ASSISTANCE INCREASE IN THE BALANCING PACKAGE , THAT MONEY WAS BASICALLY A TECHNICAL REPRESENTATION. THE HOUSING COMMITTEE HAD APPROVED THAT AS ADDITIONAL RENTAL ASSISTANCE. THAT MONEY ISN'T NECESSARILY ADDITIVE TO WHAT WE HAVE BEEN PROVIDING IN THE BUDGET. THIS WOULD ACTUALLY ADD AN ADDITIONAL 3.3. I WOULD NOTE THAT IN TALKING TO UNITED WAY, WHICH DOES DISTRIBUTE A LOT OF RENTAL ASSISTANCE, THEY HAVE 5600 SEATTLE RESIDENTS ON A WAITLIST CURRENTLY FOR RENTAL ASSISTANCE. AND THESE ARE NOT PEOPLE WHO ARE CHOOSING NOT TO PAY THE RENT. THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE STRUGGLING TO STAY HOUSED. THEY HAVE ALSO SAID THEY WOULD NEED A STAGGERING $10 MILLION TO CLEAR THE BACKLOG THAT THEY HAVE IN RENTAL ASSISTANCE. THIS IS EFFECTIVELY A DROP IN THE BUCKET IN TERMS OF WHAT WE NEED. THIS IS A WAY OF IDENTIFYING , MAKING SURE WE HAVE MONEY FOR PEOPLE TO BE PROACTIVE. SO PART OF THE SLI IS THE BEST WAY TO DISTRIBUTE THE MONEY . THAT IS ALSO THE BEST WAY TO IDENTIFY HOUSEHOLDS BEFORE THEY GET AN EVICTION NOTICE AND TO INCLUDE NOT ONLY RENT ARREARS, BUT ALSO UTILITY ASSISTANCE AND WHAT IS ELIGIBLE FOR RENTAL ASSISTANCE. >> QUESTIONS ON THIS? WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO HSD 42. >> >> WOULD INCREASE THE PROPITIOUS OF THE HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT BY 250,000 JUMPSTART FUND IN 2025 FOR HOUSING CONNECTOR AND A CORRESPONDING DECREASE IN FINANCE GENERAL OF $200,000 SET ASIDE FOR WORLD CUP PREPARATION. PREPARATION WOULD BE USED FOR EXPANSION OF THE PILOT TO DEVELOP A CENTRALIZED REAL-TIME SYSTEM TO IDENTIFY AFFORDABLE RESIDENTIAL RENTAL VACANCIES FOR PERSONS WHO ARE AT RISK OF HOMELESSNESS RECOGNIZES A POTENTIAL ENTITY THAT CAN PERFORM THIS FUNCTION. THIS IS SPONSORED BY COUNCIL MEMBERS MOORE, SAKA AND WOO. >> THINK YOU. -- THANK YOU. >> HOUSING CONNECTOR IS A NONPROFIT. THEY DO A LOT OF GOOD WORK WITH WORKING WITH LANDLORDS AND TENANTS. LANDLORDS TO EARLY WARNING SIGNS FOR WHEN TENANTS ARE IN TROUBLE AND NEED PEOPLE TO REACH OUT TO THEM FOR RENTAL ASSISTANCE. THIS WOULD BE EXPANDING A PILOT PROGRAM FOR THEM TO GET -- EXPANDER DATABASE SO THEY HAVE MORE INFORMATION ON POTENTIAL VACANCIES . SO THEY CAN MAKE SURE THEY ARE BEING FILLED, IT OF PEOPLE ARE GETTING INTO TROUBLE, THEY HAVE HELP. >> THANK YOU. QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THIS? THE HOUSING CONNECTOR IS A GREAT PROGRAM . WE WILL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ITEM. WE HAVE TO HAVE IT READ INTO THE RECORD. >> IF I MAY,.A PRIVILEGE. THIS ONE , HSD 043 AND 007 , 152, I AM GOING TO BE PULLING THESE. DON'T WANT TO WASTE THE COMMITTEE UP IT'S TIME. PARTLY BECAUSE ONE IS DUPLICATIVE OF COUNCILMEMBER CATTLE'S SLI . THANK YOU. LOVE THAT. EVEN BETTER. WE WILL GO ON TO ITEM 151 . >> REQUEST THE OFFICE OF HOUSING TO DEFINITELY PROVIDE THE CITY COUNCILMAN QUARTERLY VACANCY DATA REPORT THE CITY FUNDED RENTAL HOUSING PROJECTS. THIS REPORTING WOULD BEGIN AS A APRIL 1, 2025 FOR BACKGROUND OH CURRENTLY COLLECTS VACANCY FOR THE OVER 350 CITY FUNDED RENTAL HOUSING BUILDING, CONTAINING ABOUT 18,000 UNITS, AS PART OF THE AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR SUCH BUILDINGS. THIS REVIEW IS DONE AS PART OF THE OH ASSET MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS. >> THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER MOORE, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD. >> THAT IS BECAUSE TRACY MAKES HARD WORK LOOK EASY. YOU FOR BEING AT THE COMMITTEE TABLE. THE MOST INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE IN CENTRAL STAFF. NO OFFENSE TO ANYONE ELSE. LET'S -- WE ARE REMOVING ITEM 152. WILL MOVE ON TO ITEM 153 , OPCD . >> OPCD WOULD PROVIDE SO $350,000 IN OPCD BUDGET. THIS IS MONEY ADDED IN THE 2025-26 PROPOSED BUDGET FOR A SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT RELATED TO ZONING CHANGES IN THE CITY'S REGIONAL PROCESSORS AND URBAN CENTERS. THE PROVISO WOULD REQUIRE THAT THE EIS, IF OPCD PURSUES IT, STUDY A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT TOPICS RELATED TO HOMEOWNERSHIP AS PART OF ZONING CHANGES THAT ARE ANALYZED . >> THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER MORALES, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >> THANK YOU. THANKS SO MUCH FOR WORKING WITH ME ON THIS. WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS IN A PREVIOUS BUDGET MEETING. THE IDEA IS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE ALSO LOOKING AT STRATEGIES TO SUPPORT LEGACY HOMEOWNERS AND STAYING IN THEIR HOMES, TO SUPPORT HOMEOWNERS IN REDEVELOPING THE PROPERTY IF THEY DESIRE. WE HAVE TALKED A LOT THIS YEAR ABOUT HOW INDIVIDUAL HOMEOWNERS COULD REALLY BENEFIT FROM TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE. THE IDEA HERE IS TO HELP SUPPORT HOMEOWNERSHIP BY UNDERSTANDING WHAT STRATEGIES CAN DO THAT. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. WESTERNS? SEE NONE. GOING ON TO ITEM 154. >> OPCD , A STATEMENT OF LEGISLATIVE INTENT REQUESTING THE OPCD DEVELOP A PLAN TO SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE ECONOMIC -- EQUITABLE DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE. SPONSORED BY COUNCIL MEMBERS MOORE AND RIVERA. >> THINK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER MOORE. >> THANK YOU. AGAIN, THIS IS ASKING THE OPCD AND EQUITABLE DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE ADVISORY BOARD TO WORK WITH OED TO LOOK AT HOW THEY CAN BETTER ACTUALIZE ON THE PRIORITIES AND PURPOSES OF THE EDI INITIATIVE. ONE OF THAT IS EQUITABLE DEVELOPMENT. LOOKING AT HOW THEY CAN EXPAND THE ELIGIBILITY SPECIFICALLY FOR SMALL BUSINESS . SMALL BUSINESSES , BIPOC, REFUGEE AND IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES, BOTH SO THEY CAN GET INTO -- YOU KNOW, PURCHASE THEIR OWN SPACE, MAINTAIN THAT SPACE, IMPROVE THAT SPACE AND SUPPORT ONGOING SUPPORT . ALSO, THE SECOND PART OF THIS IS LOOKING AT BETTER COMMUNICATION BETWEEN OPCD -- EXCUSE ME, OED WHEN THEY ARE BUILDING GROUND-FLOOR SPACE DOING A BETTER JOB WITH OED OF GETTING THOSE COMMUNITY GROUPS INTO THOSE SPACES. >> THANK YOU. QUESTIONS? WE ARE MOVING ON -- COUNCIL PRESIDENT. >> I DO WANT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO EXPECT MY SUPPORT FOR THIS. IT GETS AT -- MY POINT I MADE AT SOME POINT THAT WE DO NEED TO DO MORE TO SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES, ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT ARE OWNED AND OPERATED BY PEOPLE OF COLOR AT RISK OF DISPLACEMENT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD. >> THANK YOU. MOVING ONTO ITEM 155. >> CLC -- SLC. THIS WILL PROVISO $1 MILLION IN THE LIGHT FUND FOR THE PINEHURST UNDERGROUND CABLE REPLACEMENT PROJECT. SPECIFICALLY, THE LANGUAGE WAS SAY OF THE APPROPRIATIONS OF SEATTLE SATELLITES 2025 BUDGET FOR THE UNDERGROUND EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT CIP PROJECT, 1 MILLION APPROPRIATE IS SOLELY FOR THE SURVEY CONDITION ASSESSMENT AND PULMONARY ESTIMATES, FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF FAILING UNDERGROUND POWER CABLES IN THE PINEHURST AREA AND MAY BE SPENT FOR NO OTHER PURPOSE. THIS ONE MILLION-DOLLAR PROVISO WOULD BE OUT OF ABOUT $28 MILLION IN THE 2025 BUDGET FOR THE CIP. THE SPONSORED BY COUNCILMEMBER MOORE . IT IS ALSO CO-SPONSORED BY COUNCILMEMBER SAKA AND COUNCILMEMBER WOO. WANT TO OFFER UP A CLARIFICATION IN THE COMPOSITION OF THIS IN MY WORK WITH CBO LAST WEEK. THERE'S A STATEMENT SAYING THIS PROVISO WOULD NOT DELAY OR NEGATIVELY AFFECT OTHER AREAS OF THIS WORK . JUST TODAY, AROUND 3:00, I HAD A CLARIFICATION SAY THERE WOULD BE CLARIFICATION. COUNCILMEMBER MOORE, WE HAVE NOT HAD A CHANCE TO TALK ABOUT THAT. MY APOLOGIES. YOU CLEARLY HAVE BEEN BUSY. BECAUSE IT IS NEW INFORMATION, I WANTED TO FLAG THAT CAN BRING THAT TO YOUR ATTENTION. I CAN OFFER UP MORE DETAILS, BUT I WILL STOP THERE AND TAKE QUESTIONS, AND ALSO LET THE SPONSOR TALK ABOUT HER AMENDMENT. >> COUNCILMEMBER MOORE . >> AGAIN, I'M SPEAKING WITHOUT THE BENEFIT OF THE MOST RECENT INFORMATION. PINEHURST HAS SEEN HUNDREDS OF POWER OUTAGES THE LAST FEW YEARS. THIS REPLACEMENT IS ESSENTIAL TO ENSURE THE COMMUNITY HAS RELIABLE ACCESS TO POWER. PINEHURST DOES HAVE A HIGH NUMBER OF MIDDLE TO LOWER INCOME HOUSEHOLDS . THIS AREA ALSO INCLUDES MUCH OF THE 130 STREET STATION AREA IT IS ABOUT TO OPEN NEXT YEAR , THE LIGHT RAIL, AND ALSO WE EXPECT TO SEE SIGNIFICANT INCREASE INTENSITY UP THERE UNDER THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WITH THE NEW PROPOSED PINEHURST URBAN VILLAGE. REALLY , WHAT THIS WOULD DO IS PROVISO $1 MILLION TO BEGIN THE PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION AND STUDY SO THAT WE ARE MAKING SURE THAT THAT IS HAPPENING IN A TIMELY MANNER . IT IS NOT BUMPING THEM AHEAD OF THE OTHER GROUPS THAT ARE CURRENTLY GIVEN PRIORITY, IT IS JUST TO MAKE SURE THIS WORK BEGINS SOONER RATHER THAN LATER . >> IF I MIGHT , I HAVE A THOUGHT THAT MAY HELP ADDRESS SOME OF THE NEW INFORMATION PROVIDED. THE INFORMATION FROM SEATTLE INDICATES THAT MUCH OF THE WORK THAT YOU HAD INTENDED FOR THIS IS POTENTIALLY ALREADY DONE. AN APPROACH COULD BE TO APPROVE THIS ACTION WITH LESS OF INTENT THAT THE MONEY WICKETS BUT FOR THAT, BUT RATHER, FOR CITY LIGHT TO CONFIRM THAT WORK HAD BEEN DONE, AT WHICH POINT, THE PROVISO COULD BE LIFTED AND THE DOLLARS BE DIRECTED TO THE OTHERWISE INTENDED PURPOSES FOR THIS YEAR. BUT AGAIN, THAT IS ON THE FLY GIVEN WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED IN THE LAST 10 MINUTES. >> GREAT. THANK YOU. >> COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE. >> THANK YOU, CHAIR STYLES. THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT ISSUE TO ME , AND TO YOU, CHAIR STRAUSS. BUT PARTICULARLY FOR LOWER QUEEN ANNE. THEY HAVE BEEN SUFFERING MAJOR POWER OUTAGES ON A WEEKLY BASIS WITH INCREASING FREQUENCY. THIS AREA, CONTRARY TO SOME STEREOTYPES PLACED BY OTHERS AROUND THE CITY, HAS A LOT OF ELDERCARE FACILITIES. YOU KNOW, SURPRISINGLY ENOUGH, A LOT OF SEATTLE HOUSING AUTHORITY LOCATIONS. MORE THAN PRETTY MUCH ANY OTHER NEIGHBORHOOD. AGAIN, CONTRARY TO STEREOTYPES, IT IS AN AREA WITH MANY RENTERS. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH CITY LIGHT ON THIS. WE HAVE HAD DISCUSSIONS REGARDING THE INFRASTRUCTURE PROBLEM, WHICH IS HUGE, BY THE WAY. A WHOLE DIFFERENT TOPIC. WE CAN'T TAKE AWAY THIS CRUCIAL WORK FOR THE QUEEN ANNE AND MAGNOLIA COMMUNITY THAT IS SUFFERING FROM EVERY -- EVER INCREASING OUTAGES. AS I UNDERSTOOD FROM TALKING TO MY STAFF , YES, THIS WOULD BE A POTENTIAL NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THE WORK FOR THE QUEEN ANNE COMMUNITY. BASED ON THAT, ABSENT OF WHAT ANYTHING THE CENTRAL STAFF DIRECTOR CAN COME UP WITH, MY RECOMMENDATION IS TO VOTE NO ON THIS DUE TO THE IMPACTS OF ANOTHER NEIGHBORHOOD HERE IN THE CITY, QUEEN ANNE AND MAGNOLIA. >> THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER MOORE . >> AGAIN, AND THIS MAY HAVE CHANGED, -- AND $456,000 IN 2026 THE COMES FROM TWO SOURCES, JUMPSTART FUNDING AND GENERAL FUND. CORRESPONDING DECREASES TO THE OFFICE OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN 2025 AND 2026. $456,000 IN 2025, AND THE SAME IN 2026 FOR DOWNTOWN ACTIVATION PLAN ACTIVITIES . THE 2024 ADOPTED BUDGET APPROPRIATED 2.5 MILLION FOR CONTRACTS AND GRANTS . THE 2025-26 PROPOSED BUDGET WOULD APPROPRIATE 1.8 MILLION. THE CBA TOGETHER WITH SDCI 002 WOULD RESTORE FUNDING FOR TENANT SERVICES TO 2024 BASELINE LEVELS THE 2024 BASELINE DOES NOT INCLUDE THE ONE-TIME APPROPRIATIONS MADE FOR RENTAL ASSISTANCE THAT WAS MADE IN 2024. THIS WOULD RESULT IN DECREASED APPROPRIATIONS TO OED AND PARTIALLY REDUCED FUNDING FOR DAP ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING WESLEY PARK ACTIVATION, SOUTH DOWNTOWN, INTERGOVERNMENTAL CORONATION AND SUPPORT TO THE METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT SPONSORED BY COUNCIL MEMBERS MORALES, HOLLINGSWORTH AND MOORE. >> THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER MORALES. >> THANK YOU, COLLEAGUES, WE'VE BEEN HEARING A LOT, INCLUDING LAST NIGHT, ABOUT THE CRITICAL NEED FOR MORE ATTENDANT SERVICES, AT LEAST TO MAINTAIN HER BASELINE SERVICES SO PEOPLE DON'T GET EVICTED, DON'T GET INTO DISPUTES WITH THEIR LANDLORDS . AND SO, THIS IS AN ATTEMPT TO RESTORE THE FUNDS FOR TENANT SERVICES AND PROVIDE EDUCATION FOR LANDLORDS AND TENANTS ON CITY REGULATIONS, OUTREACH, EVICTION. I WILL SAY, I COUNCILMEMBER MOORE, I COSPONSORED SOME OF HER AMENDMENTS RELATED TO HSD, I DO THINK THERE IS AN IMPORTANT ROLE TO PLAY IN SDCI FOR SOME OF THESE TENANT ISSUES. I DO WANT TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE FUNDING THERE , AND I WILL SAY SHORTLY WE WILL BE SUBMITTING A WALK ON AMENDMENT. I MIGHT AS WELL JUST SAY THAT HERE. SO EVERYBODY IS GETTING INFORMATION AT THE SAME TIME. BUT I DO THINK IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE MAKE SURE WE ARE AT LEAST ACHIEVING BASELINE TENANT SERVICES IN THE CITY, AND THAT IS WHAT THIS IS INTENDED TO HELP. THANK YOU . >> THANK YOU . WE ARE BRING A WALK ON AMENDMENT FOR WHICH ITEM? >> NOT FOR THIS ITEM, BUT TO SUPPORT INCREASED ATTENDANT SERVICES. >> OKAY. DO YOU WANT TO SHARE MORE? >> DO THAT WITH ITEM 155 THAT DOESN'T EXIST IT. I WILL COME BACK TO YOU AT THE VERY END. >> FINE. INC. YOU. >> WE ARE GOING TO GO ON TO 157 AT THE MOMENT. >> A PROVISO , SDCI 006, APPROPRIATIONS FOR TENANT SERVICES, GRANTS AND CONTRACTS. IT IS ACTUALLY TWO PROVISOS. IT WOULD LIMIT SPENDING FROM THE COMPLIANCE BUDGET SUMMARY LEVEL. GRANTS AND CONTRACTS TO APPROPRIATIONS FOR . REFERRALS FOR SECURING RENTAL ASSISTANCE, MEDIATION, INTERPRETATION SERVICES, AND EVICTION LEGAL DEFENSE. NO OTHER EXPENDITURES WOULD BE PERMITTED UNDER THE PROVISO. RELATE SPECIFICALLY TO EVICTION LEGAL DEFENSE. I WILL GO AHEAD AND READ THE PROVISO. THE APPROPRIATION FOR TENANT SERVICES GRANTS AND CONTRACTS IN THE SEATTLE DEPARTMENT OF COMPLIANCE BUDGET SUMMARY LEVEL FOR EVICTION, DEFENSE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS IS LIMITED TO CLIENT WITH INCOMES AT OR BELOW 200% OF FEY LEVEL AND FOR NO HER PURPOSE AN CONFIRMATION MUST BE SUBMITTED QUARTERLY TO SDCI . THE PROVISO WOULD BRING EVICTION LEGAL DEFENSE IN LINE WITH AND MAKE IT CONSISTENT WITH FEDERAL AND STATE STANDARDS. . THE BUDGET ACTION IS SPONSORED BY COUNCIL MEMBERS MOORE, RIVERA AND SAKA. YOU I RECOGNIZED . >> THANK YOU. THIS IS TO MAKE SURE THEY TENANT SERVICES ARE TO BE IS FOR THE HOTLINE , LANDLORD TENANT LAW EDUCATION, MEDIATION AND INTERPRETATION SERVICES , AS WELL AS EVICTION DEFENSE . AND IN TERMS OF THE EVICTION DEFENSE , CURRENTLY , HTP AND CATHOLIC COMMUNITY SERVICES, THEIR ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA IS SOMEBODY SAYS I CAN'T AFFORD A LAWYER, BUT MOST OF THE FUNDING COMES FROM THE STATE OFFICE OF CIVIL LEGAL AID, AND THEIR STANDARD IS THE FEDERAL AND STATE STANDARD WHICH IS 200% AT OR BELOW THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. SISTERS SIMPLY MAKE THE CITY WHAT THE STATE IS REQUIRING AND THE FEDERAL STANDARD FOR INDIGENT DEFENSE. IQ. THERE ARE TWO SEPARATE PROVISOS WITHIN THIS ONE BUDGET ACTION. IS THAT CORRECT? >> THAT IS CORRECT >> OKAY. THANK YOU. SEEN NON-. LET'S MOVE ON. -- IF YOU COULD REITERATE THE TWO DIFFERENT -- I HEARD YOU . >> I WILL GO AHEAD AND READ THE FIRST ONE. THAT WE MAY BE THE ONE THAT YOU ARE INQUIRING ABOUT. THE FIRST PROVISO WOULD BE AS FOLLOWS. OF THE APPROPRIATIONS FOR TENANT SERVICES, GRANTS AND CONTRACTS IN THE SEATTLE DEPARTMENT OF CONSTRUCTION, INSPECTIONS AND COMPLIANCE BUDGET SUMMARY LEVEL, ALL APPROPRIATIONS ARE SOLELY FOR EDUCATION OF TENANTS AND LANDLORDS ON LANDLORD-TENANT LAW, STAFFING ALIVE TENANT HOTLINE, REFERRALS FOR AND ASSISTANCE WITH SECURING RENTAL ASSISTANCE, MEDIATION, INTERPRETATION SERVICES, AND EVICTION LEGAL DEFENSE AND MAY BE SPENT FOR NO OTHER PURPOSE. THAT IS THE FIRST PROVISO. >> COUNCIL PRESIDENT , DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? GREAT. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ITEM. >> NEXT ITEM IS A COUNSEL BUT ACTION TO LIMITED UNSECURED FUNDING AND SDOT IS A PROJECT TO CONNECT THE SOUTHLAKE UNION STREETCAR WITH THREE DOWNTOWN SEATTLE FOR THE PROJECT WAS HALTED IN 2018 DUE TO COST ESCALATION AND HAS BEEN ON PAUSE EVER SINCE. THE PROJECT WAS RECENTLY HAD A COST ESTIMATE OF 410 MILLION IDENTIFIED LAST YEAR, WHICH INCLUDED 74 MILLION UTILITY RELOCATIONS AND 90 MILLION FOR STRUCTURAL UPGRADES TO BRIDGES, AND ROADS TO BEAR THE WEIGHT OF THE STREETCAR. THE 410 MILLION WAS INCLUDED IN THE CIP AS A 2030 UNSECURED FUNDING COMMITMENT . THIS PROPOSAL WOULD REMOVE THAT REFERENCE. >> THINK. COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED . >> THANK YOU. COLLEAGUES, THE STORY OF THE FIRST AVENUE STREETCAR IS A LONG AND TROUBLED ONE TO THE POINT THAT THIS HAS BECOME A ZOMBIE PROJECT. THE TIMELINE STARTED HERE IN JULY 2014 . AS NOTED, IN MARCH 2018 THE PROJECT WAS HALTED BY THEN MAYOR DURKIN. THERE TOO MANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE TRUE COST OF THE PROJECT AND THE RISK TO TAXPAYERS, WHICH IS WHY WE MUST PUT THE BRAKES ON THIS PROJECT . AS A NEW MAYOR, I WILL CONTINUE TO SCRUB THE BUDGETS AND ACT TO PROTECT TAXPAYERS. THIS WAS GOOD FROM THE ARTICLE BACK IN MARCH 2018. FROM THE THIRD MONTH OF THE MAHER'S ADMINISTRATION, NOW WE ARE AT THE END OF THE THIRD YEAR OF THE CURRENT MAYOR. A VERY THOROUGH ARTICLE EARLIER THIS YEAR , JANUARY 2024, HE NOTED THE PROJECT WAS ON HOLD. SDOT WAS QUOTED AT THIS TIME THAT THERE IS NO CHANGE TO THE STATUS OF THE PROJECT. THIS CAME UP AS A REPORT THAT THE COST HAD SOARED TO $204 MILLION AND CAN TAKE SEVEN YEARS TO COMPLETE. BACK IN 2017 IT WAS $177 MILLION. IT QUICKLY WENT OVER 200 MILLION WITH DISPUTES OVER OPERATIONAL COSTS OF $8 MILLION. BY 2019 IT WAS 286 MILLION. BY THE END OF LAST YEAR WAS 410 MILLION. AS NOTED IN THE ARTICLE, THAT REPRESENTED A 43% INCREASE. BY 2030, I WILL NO DOUBT THAT THIS ONE PROJECT WOULD EQUAL ONE THIRD OF THE RECENTLY PASSED TRANSPORTATION LEVY. OVER THE COURSE OF THAT TIMELINE, THERE HAS BEEN SO MANY ISSUES THAT HAVE HOBBLED THIS ON THE PROJECT. AS NOTED, THE STREETCARS, CHALLENGES WITH THE MAINTENANCE FACILITIES, CHALLENGES WITH ROADS AND BRIDGES, LITIGATION THAT WE HAVE SEEN DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE RAILS HAVE CREATED UNSAFE CONDITIONS FOR BICYCLISTS. NOT MENTIONED ARE THE GEOGRAPHY AND TOPOGRAPHY IMPACTS , THE FACT THAT THE SLOWDOWN ON THE WEST SIDE OF FIRST AVENUE. AS YOU KNOW, YOU CAN'T TAKE A LEFT OR RIGHT OFF WESTERN UP TO FIRST AVENUE. THIS CREATES UNIQUE AND DIFFICULT LOGISTICAL CHALLENGES. IN SUMMARY, THE FIRST AVENUE STREETCAR HAS NEVER HAD A VIABLE OPERATING CAPITAL PROPOSAL. OF COURSE, IT'S LIFETIME OVER THE PAST DECADE . WE'VE NEVER HAD AN OPERATIONS PLAN WITH OPERATING COSTS. INITIALLY IT WAS TOLD THAT I WAS TOLD IT WAS GOING TO PAY FOR ITSELF. HERE'S THE THING, IT WAS NEVER DISCUSSED THE IDEA OF OPPORTUNITY COSTS. IF WE DIDN'T HAVE THE ZOMBIE PROJECT, COULD WE HAVE UNIQUE SERVICE RIGHT NOW ALONG FIRST CONNECTING THE STADIUMS AND SEATTLE CENTER WITH PINEHURST SQUARE AND PARK PLACE MARKET IN BETWEEN? COULD WE HAVE HAD ADDITIONAL ROAD WORK DONE IN PINEHURST SQUARE MATCHING THE ROAD WORK DONE RECENTLY TO CONNECT THE STADIUMS AND OTHER ROAD LINKS FROM THE WATERFRONT PROJECT INTO DOWNTOWN? BACK IN 2014, WE DIDN'T HAVE ST 3, WE WE HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING NOW OF THAT. ALSO, WE DIDN'T HAVE THE RAPID RIDE LINES WE HAVE NOW. FOR THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN CONSTRUCTED AND ARE CURRENTLY BEING CONSTRUCTED. WE NEED TO LEVERAGE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT THE NUTRO -- TRANSIT POSTURE AND LOOK AT HOW STREETCARS CAN CONTRIBUTE OR NOT CONTRIBUTE . WE NEED TO RETHINK ON THE OPTIONS, PERHAPS THIRD AVENUE MAGINOT, THIRD AVENUE ONLY HAS ONE WAY TO GO, AND THAT IS UP. YOU KNOW, THERE HAS ONLY BEEN ONE CENTRAL STAFF MEMO ON THIS. THIS IS FROM AUGUST 2 OF 2019 AUTHORED BY YOURS TRULY AT THE TABLE. >> A QUOTABLE QUOTE ON THIS IS THAT THE FIRST AVENUE STREETCAR IS REALLY NO WAY TO RUN A RAILROAD . COLLEAGUES, I ASKED FOR YOUR SUPPORT IN THE CBA. THANK YOU VERY MUCH . >> THANK YOU. DID YOU SAY AUGUST 2, 2019? >> YES. OR WAS IT 2018 ? SORRY. >> WE HAVE BEEN HERE SO LONG THAT WE FORGET. >> QUESTIONS ON THIS ITEM? WE ARE GOING TO KEEP MOVING ALONG. >> SDOT IS A CBA THAT REQUEST THAT SDOT PROVIDE A PLAN FOR TERMINATING, EXCUSE ME, SLI REPORTING AS THOUGHT -- SDOT PROVIDE A PLAN FOR TERMINATING SOUTHLAKE UNION STREETCAR SERVICE, DECOMMISSIONING SOUTHLAKE UNION STREETCAR ASSETS AND IDENTIFYING ALTERNATIVE SOUTHLAKE UNION TRANSIT OPTIONS. COUNCILMEMBER SAKA, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED . >> IF I MAY , MAY I ASK YOU TO COMMENT ON YOUR INITIAL REACTIONS AND HOW YOU SEE THIS PROPOSAL IN THE IMMEDIATE PAST PROPOSAL TIED TOGETHER, IF AT ALL. WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THOSE, IF AT ALL. FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE. >> PROBABLY THE STRONGEST PITCH FOR THE CENTER STREET STREETCAR HAS BEEN TO CONNECT THE SOUTHLAKE UNION STREETCAR WITH THE FIRST HILL TO HAVE ONE STREETCAR SYSTEM. THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL PROPOSAL TO TRY TO MAKE IT A MORE EFFICIENT ONE SYSTEM. REMOVING -- IF THERE IS NO CENTER STREET STREETCAR, IT MEANS THE SOUTHLAKE STREETCAR WILL ALWAYS OPERATE ON ITS OWN AND HAVE TO KIND OF, ON THE PERFORMANCE THAT IT PROVIDES. THE SOUTHLAKE UNION STREETCAR WAS ORIGINALLY FOCUSED AS A PRIMARILY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TOOL FOR SOUTHLAKE UNION AREA. IT WAS ORIGINALLY PROPOSED MORE AS AN EXPANSION OF THE PEDESTRIAN EXPERIENCE, THE WALK SHED OF THE AREA, AND LATER BECAME MORE OF A THOUGHT OF A STREETCAR NETWORK. AS WE MOVED INTO OTHER STREETCARS WITH THE FIRST HILL STREETCAR, WE HAVE DONE MORE TO DO ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS AND THOSE TYPES OF PROJECTS . THE IDEA WITH THE CENTER CITY STREETCAR WAS TO DO EVEN MORE THAT, BUT WE ARE WHERE WE ARE IN TERMS OF THE COST ESTIMATES FOR THAT PROJECT. BUT I THINK THAT IS ALL I CAN REALLY SAY ABOUT IT . >> THANK YOU. THAT IS VERY HELPFUL. THESE ARE VERY SEPARATE AND INDEPENDENT PROPOSALS , BUT AS CHAIR OF OUR CITY TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE, I NEED TO LOOK AT THINGS THAT ONLY FROM THE DISTRICT PERSPECTIVE, BUT FROM A CITYWIDE TRANSPORTATION NETWORK PERSPECTIVE. AS WE HEARD, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE MOST COMPELLING JUSTIFICATIONS FOR BUILDING THE FIRST AVENUE STREETCAR WOULD BE CONNECTING THE OTHER TWO NETWORKS. WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO IS EFFECTIVELY PUT THE KABBALIST ON THE FIRST AVENUE STREETCAR AVAILABLE -- AND ACKNOWLEDGE IT IS ZOMBIE AND PUT IT OUT OF ITS ZOMBIE MISERY , OF WHICH THERE ARE VERY MANY VALID REASONS FOR, AS COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE NOTED A MOMENT AGO , THE LEAST OF WHICH INCLUDES THE FACT THAT THIS IS EXPLOSIVE COST. IT HAS GOTTEN UNWIELDY AND OUT OF HIM. LET ALONE THE DESIGN CHALLENGES AND OTHER THINGS NOTED FROM A CITYWIDE TRANSPORTATION NETWORK PERSPECTIVE, THESE ARE INEXTRICABLY TIED TOGETHER . SO ON THE PROPOSAL FOR THE RETIREMENT OF THE STREETCAR, IF WE COMPLETELY ELIMINATE THE FIRST AVENUE LINE , IT PUTS MORE PRESSURE ON THE OTHER -- ON THE PERFORMANCE OF THE OTHER TWO LINES. WE KNOW, UNFORTUNATELY, I LEARNED IN MY TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE MEETING EARLIER THIS FALL, SEPTEMBER, I BELIEVE, THAT THE RIDERSHIP NUMBERS FOR THE SOUTHLAKE UNION STREETCAR LINE ARE FAIRLY ABYSMAL , ANEMIC . UNLIKE THE WILL PERFORMING FIRST HILL STREETCAR LINE , IT HASN'T REALLY PICKED UP, UNFORTUNATELY, SINCE THE PANDEMIC. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF REASONS FOR THIS. KIND OF DOUBLE-CLICKING ON WHAT WE LEARNED, THE WHOLE THAT'S ONE OF THE PRIMARY JUSTIFICATIONS FOR BUILDING THE STREETCAR IN 2007 WAS THAT IT WAS AN IMPORTANT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TOOL FOR THE SOUTHLAKE UNION AREA. IT WAS INTENDED TO DRIVE FOOT TRAFFIC, SPUR DEVELOPMENT AND INNOVATION IN THE AREA. THAT IS AMAZONIA. THAT IS A BIOTECH HELP OF NOT JUST THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST, BUT I THINK THE ENTIRE COUNTRY. YOU KNOW, SO VERY SUCCESSFUL IN ACHIEVING ITS ORIGINAL GOAL WITH RESPECT TO THAT. THAT IS THE FIRST IMPORTANT FACTOR THAT HAPPENED SINCE IT WAS ORIGINALLY CONSTRUCTED AND DEVELOPED IN 2007. THE SECOND THING, THERE HAS BEEN A RAPID GROWTH AND EXPANSION OF -- BY METRO, OF REDUNDANT LINES OF SERVICE IN THE SOUTHLAKE UNION AREA FROM ROUTE 40 TO RAPID RIDE AND OTHERS. THERE HAS BEEN OVERLAPPING SERVICE. AND SOME OVERLAP AND REDUNDANCY WHEN YOU'RE TALKING TRANSIT IS GENERALLY A GOOD THING. THERE HAS BEEN A LOT IN THIS SPECIFIC AREA. UNFORTUNATELY, AT THE EXPENSE OF THE STREETCAR. WHAT ALL THAT HAS AMOUNTED TO IS AN UNDERPERFORMING STREETCAR . PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY EXCITED ABOUT TAKING THESE OTHER TRANSIT INVESTMENTS. OUR CITY IS SPENDING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS EACH YEAR TO OPERATE THE SOUTHLAKE UNION STREETCAR, AND SO, WHAT THIS PROPOSAL CALLS FOR IS A THOUGHTFUL PLAN TO HELP US BETTER TRANSITION AND MOVE AWAY FROM THE SOUTHLAKE UNION STREETCAR TO TRANSIT OPTIONS THE PEOPLE WE KNOW ARE DELIGHTED TO TAKE. AND EXPANDING -- SO IT IS INTENDED TO BE A DIRECT ONE FOR ONE TRANSIT FOR TRANSIT INVESTMENT. SWAPPING OUT THE SOUTHLAKE UNION STREETCAR FOR EXPANDED TRANSIT SERVICE, NAMELY BUSES , AND INCREASING RELIABILITY AND EXPANDING THE SERVICE OF THOSE OTHER TRANSIT OPTIONS IN THE AREA. SO YOU KNOW, AGAIN, THIS CALLS FOR A THOUGHTFUL APPROACH AND ALLOWS US TO BETTER PLAN TO DO THIS RIGHT , AND ALSO NOTE THAT ON TRANSIT PROPOSAL THAT SOUTHLAKE UNION STREETCAR, IF WE DID NOTHING, IT WOULD EFFECTIVELY BE MOTHBALLED FOR AT LEAST EIGHT YEARS , AS I CURRENTLY UNDERSTAND THE CURRENT PROJECTIONS. SO THIS HELPS US THOUGHTFULLY PLAN AND RETIRE . SHOULD BE COVERED STREET OR OF THE TRACKS ? I THINK WE NEED TO KEEP IT SAFE FOR CYCLISTS REGARDLESS OF WHAT WE DO, BUT WE NEED TO HAVE A PLAN , AND THIS WOULD ENABLE THAT. WE HAVE FIVE MORE ITEMS . IT IS THREE MINUTES TO 5:00. COUNCIL MEMBER MOORE AND MYSELF HAVE IN DISTRICT EVENTS THAT BEGIN AT 5:00 THAT WE CANNOT MISS AND WERE NOT SCHEDULED -- NOR DID ANYONE ASK US IF WE COULD ATTEND. THE OUTCOME WE ARE TRYING TO ACHIEVE RIGHT NOW IS MAKING SURE THAT EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT THEY WILL BE VOTING ON IN THE COMING DAYS. WE DON'T NEED TO GO BEYOND THAT. UP NEXT IS 160. BACK TO YOU. >> THIS ITEM IS >> I WILL CONTINUE MOVING US ALONG AT THIS TIME. WE HAVE 161. >> IT IS A PROVISO. IT IS FOR TRANSIT SECURITY SERVICES. >> YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >> THIS IS AN IMPORTANT INVESTMENT. WE AUTHORIZED $1 MILLION FOR TRANSIT AMBASSADORS. BASICALLY, FRIENDLY FACE, UNIFORMED PRESENCE. CAN IT BE DISH WITH PEOPLE AND BE ON TRANSIT AND AT KEY STEPS. THAT IS A TERRIFIC IDEA. IT CAN BE A DETERRENT, AS WELL. WITH THIS PROPOSED AMENDMENT, IT ALLOWS US AS A CITY TO UNLOCK THE FULL SPECTRUM OF SECURITY AND SAFETY , RESPONSE AND INTERVENTIONS, AND SO, BORROWING, I SUPPOSE FOR A MOMENT FROM THE DISTINGUISHED LADY FROM THE DISTRICT, HER P.I.E. FRAMEWORK, ONE WAY TO LOOK AT IT WOULD BE AMBASSADORS ARE GENERALLY GREAT PREVENTION AGENTS AND PERSONNEL, SO WHAT THIS WOULD ALLOW WOULD BE ADDITIONAL FUNDING, $1 MILLION FROM THE LEVY. RECALL, THERE'S $9 MILLION IN THE RECENTLY APPROVED LEVY FOR TRANSIT SECURITY. IT IS SPECIFICALLY FOR SOME OF THE LETTER I AND E, IF YOU WILL. CONTRACTED SECURITY SERVICES. AND THE COUNTY METRO POLICE, AS WELL. AGAIN, THIS IS THE FULL SPECTRUM TO MEET OUR MANY DIVERSE NEEDS OF SECURITY RESPONSE CAPABILITIES TO MEET THE DIVERSE NEEDS OF OUR CITIZENS, OUR RESIDENTS, THE WRITERS OF TRANSIT, AND PROUD THAT IT HAS BEEN SUPPORTED BY ATU LOCAL 587, WHO, BY THE WAY, ARE THE BUS DRIVERS. THIS HELPS DRIVE AND IMPROVE A SAFE, SECURE EXPERIENCE FOR ALL. SO I ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER KETTLE, SDOT-102S-B-1 . COUNCILMEMBER SAKA, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >> THANK YOU. >> WHAT ITEM ARE WE ON? WE ARE ON TRANSIT SECURITY SPONSORS. [ INAUDIBLE ] . >> THIS GOES HAND-IN-HAND WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED FINANCIAL INVESTMENT, SO BASICALLY, CALLING ON A PLAN, AND AN ASSESSMENT, REALLY. LESS OF A PLAN AT THIS STAGE AND AN ASSESSMENT OF THE CURRENT STATE OF THINGS, UNDERSTANDING, YOU KNOW, BEST PRACTICES, WITH THE ULTIMATE END GOAL ULTIMATELY TO ALIGN ON A REGIONAL APPROACH TO TRANSIT SECURITY. IT IS A FIRST STEP IN HELPING TO ACHIEVE THAT. >> WE WILL MOVE TO ITEM 163, PLEASE. >> COUNCILMEMBERS, I KNOW YOU'RE VERY HAPPY TO SEE ME TODAY, AND I'M HAPPY TO BE HERE TO CLOSE A SET FOR THE DAY. SPD 109 S A WOULD LET US STUDY HEALTHCARE OPTIONS FOR EMPLOYEES. IT IS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE GOALS OF THE INITIATIVE. IT IS A SLIDE THAT IS MORE OF A STATEMENT OF LEGISLATIVE INTENT THEN IT IS A REQUEST. IT IS THE COUNCIL'S INTENT THAT SPD NOTIFY THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE WHEN THE CONSULTANT IS HIRED, AND WHEN THE STUDY IS COMPLETE, ALTHOUGH THERE ARE NO REPORTS DUE TO THE COMMITTEE. AS SUCH, IT HAS NO DUE DATE. IT IS OFFERED BY COUNCILMEMBER MOORE WITH COSPONSORS COUNCILMEMBER SAKA AND COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA. >> THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER MOORE, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I DON'T HAVE MUCH TO ADD. SPD IS ALREADY TALKING ABOUT SCOPING -- THE SCOPING AGREEMENT WITH THE CONSULTANT. I REALLY JUST WANTED TO MAKE THAT PUBLIC. AND GIVE THEM ADDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR THAT EFFORT. >> THANK YOU. >> WE ARE GOING TO MOVE ON TO 164, THE LAST ITEM ON THIS, AND THEN COUNCILMEMBERS, I AM READING MY SCRIPT FOR TOMORROW AND I SEE THAT WE HAVE FIVE WALK ON AMENDMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN DISTRIBUTED BEFORE 5:00 P.M., SO I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THOSE UP NOW. COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA, YOU HAVE ADDRESSED YOURS. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. WE WILL TURN IT OVER TO COUNCILMEMBER MORALES, COUNCILMEMBER WOO, AND WE ARE NOW ON ITEM 164. >> ITEM 164, THE LAST ON THE LIST TODAY BEFORE THE WALK-ON'S IS SPD 111S-A, AND IT WOULD HAVE SPD TO REPORT ON THIS TECHNOLOGY TO COMBAT ILLEGAL VEHICLE NOISE THROUGH THE USE OF CAMERA AND MICROPHONE SYSTEMS, AND THEN ALSO THE POLICY CONSIDERATIONS OF USING THAT TECHNOLOGY, INCLUDING HOW SPD WOULD DETERMINE WHICH SEATTLE NEIGHBORHOODS WOULD BENEFIT FROM THE TECHNOLOGY. THIS PARTICULAR SLIDE WOULD BE DUE TO THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE ON JULY 15th. IT IS OFFERED BY COUNCILMEMBER SAKA WITH COSPONSORS OF COUNCILMEMBER MOORE AND [ INAUDIBLE ] >> THIS ONE, AS NOTED, WOULD JUST CALL FOR AN ASSESSMENT TO EXAMINE WHAT PROSPECTIVE THE POINT OF AUTOMATED SOUND ENFORCEMENT TECHNOLOGY WOULD LOOK LIKE IN SEATTLE, AND IT IS A WELL-DOCUMENTED ISSUE IMPACTING DISTRICTS OR NEIGHBORHOODS ACROSS THE CITY, FROM BELLTOWN, TO HARBOR AVENUE, TO ALL OF HER IN THE NORTH END . TOO,.COM OF HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH THE MAYOR'S OFFICE AND SPD, THAT WE RECEIVED 911 CALLS FOR EXCESSIVE NOISE IN KIRKLAND AND THE EAST SIDE OF LAKE WASHINGTON, FOR EXCESSIVE NOISE IN SEATTLE. AND SO, TODAY, WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY TO MANUALLY DETECT EXCESSIVE NOISES AND POTENTIAL VIOLATIONS, BUT IT IS NOT -- IT IS NOT THE AUTOMATED CAPABILITY, AND OBVIOUSLY, WITH OUR OFFICER STAFFING SHORTAGES, EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE THAT MANUAL DETECTION, WE DON'T HAVE THE STAFFING TO ENFORCE AND CARRY IT OUT. JUST CALLING THE STUDY FOR PROSPECTIVE DEPLOYMENT FOR AUTOMATED SOUND TECHNOLOGY. THANK YOU. I ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT. >> THANK YOU. WE ARE GOING TO AT THIS TIME MOVE INTO DISCUSSING THE WALK-ON AMENDMENTS. COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA, YOU SHARED YOURS. COUNCILMEMBER MORALES, YOU HAVE , TOO. COUNCILMEMBER WOO, YOU HAVE ONE, AND COUNCILMEMBER MOORE, YOU HAVE ONE. I'M NOT GOING TO BE VERY EXCITED ABOUT SUSPENDING THE RULES TOMORROW. I WILL GIVE YOU THIS OPPORTUNITY TO DAYLIGHT YOUR IDEA. I MAY BE IN CONSULTATION WITH COUNCILMEMBER MOORE ABOUT THE AMENDMENT IN B. I MAY ASK TO SUSPEND THE RULES TO FIX THAT AMENDMENT BECAUSE I THINK THE SPACE BETWEEN US IS SO SMALL, IT'S NOT EVEN FUNNY. SO, WITH THAT, COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA, YOU BRIEFED US ON YOUR AMENDMENT. THANK YOU FOR THAT. WE WILL TURN TO COUNCILMEMBER MORALES. YOU HAVE TWO AMENDMENTS. CAN YOU BRIEF US ON THE FIRST ONE? >> YEAH. HOW MUCH DETAIL DO YOU WANT? >> ABOUT THE SAME LEVEL THAT WE JUST DEALT WITH. >> OKAY. YES. I HAVE TWO AMENDMENTS. THE FIRST ONE IS TO RESTORE TENANT SERVICES AT SCCI, AND, WHAT ELSE? >> WHERE IS THE MONEY COMING FROM? >> LET ME JUST OPEN WHAT I HAVE SENT AS PDFS TO EVERYONE. THIS WOULD INCREASED PROPOSED APPROPRIATIONS TO DEPARTMENT OF CONSTRUCTION BY 525 S.D.O.T. -- [ INAUDIBLE ] . IT WOULD PROPOSE A DECREASE FOR 5 TO 7 IN 25 AND 527 IN 26, SPIT SPECIFICALLY DISH FOR POSITIONS AT THE REAL-TIME CRIME CENTER. IT WOULDN'T REMOVE AUTHORITY. IT WOULD JUST NOT FUND THEM. LET ME GET BACK TO MY EMAIL. THE SECOND IS TO INCREASE PARKS BY $1 MILLION IN 2026. IT IS FOR THE SAME DOSE FOR 9 FTE TO THE REAL-TIME CRIME CENTER. >> THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER WOO, I BELIEVE YOU HAVE EIGHT WALK-ON AMENDMENT. CAN YOU BRIEF US ON WHAT IT IS, AND HOW MUCH ARE WE PROPOSING TO SPEND? >> THIS IS AMENDMENT 2. THE PROVISO FOR 238,000 GF FOR SANITATION SERVICES. I JUST GOT A CORRECTION FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT THIS ORIGINAL ASK WAS FOR THE ENTIRE CHINATOWN INTERNATIONAL DISTRICT, NOT SPECIFICALLY FOR LITTLE SAIGON, AND SO I WANTED TO CHANGE IT TO ADDRESS THE DISTRICT. EVIDENTLY, ORIGINALLY, [ INAUDIBLE ] FOR SANITATION SERVICES THAT WAS ELIMINATED. THIS WAS THE REQUEST ASKING FOR THAT AMOUNT FOR SIMILAR SERVICES AND SANITATION FOR THE ENTIRE DISTRICT, WHICH COMPRISES OF THREE NEIGHBORHOODS INCLUDING LITTLE SAIGON. >> THANK YOU. AND COUNCILMEMBER MOORE, IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING YOU HAVE A WALK-ON AMENDMENT. >> THANK YOU. I ACTUALLY HAVE TWO. THE SECOND ONE IS FURIOUSLY WORKING TO ADDRESS WHAT YOU TALKED ABOUT ABOUT THE TINY HOUSE VILLAGES. IT APPLIES TO ALL NON-CONGREGATE WITH THE EXCLUSION OF HOTELS. MY OTHER ONE IS TO COUNCILMEMBER MORALES'S WORK GROUP TO EXPAND IT TO INCLUDE RENTERS AND LANDLORDS OF SMALL, MEDIUM, AND LARGE, AND NONPROFITS, AND TO COME TOGETHER TO WORK TO CREATE A HEALTHY AND SUSTAINABLE RENTAL ENVIRONMENT FOR THE CITY. >> THANK YOU. >> COLLEAGUES, ANYMORE WALK-ON AMENDMENTS? THIS IS HOW WE STAY IN GOOD GRACES. ALL RIGHT. I'LL PASS IT BACK TO CENTRAL STAFF FOR JUST A MINUTE. I AM MAKING AN EXECUTIVE DECISION ABOUT START TIME TOMORROW. WE ARE GOING TO START AT -- I WILL OPEN THE COMMITTEE AT 9:30 AND IMMEDIATELY GO INTO RATE -- RECESS FOR AN HOUR AND THIS WILL ALLOW US TO CLEAN UP SOME OF THE DISCUSSION THAT I HEARD HERE BECAUSE IT IS NOW AFTER 5:00 P.M. I WILL WORK WITH CENTRAL STAFF TO UNDERSTAND IF WE NEED TO TAKE ANOTHER RECESS, OR IF WE WILL START RIGHT AT 10:30. THERE WAS A LOT THAT WE GOT THROUGH TODAY, AS YOU CAN TELL. SECTION D ISN'T THE LONGEST LIST. IT IS THE LONGEST TIME OF LIST. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN WE GET INTO THOSE CHALLENGING CONVERSATIONS, WE HAVE THE SPACE TO HAVE THE DISCUSSION SO THAT PEOPLE FEEL LIKE -- AND KNOW THAT THEY HAVE THE INFORMATION THEY NEED TO MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS AND THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO SPEAK ON ITEMS ON RECORD. IN THE PAST, AND WHAT WAS PREVIOUSLY C, OFTENTIMES, EVERY SINGLE COUNCILMEMBER WOULD SPEAK TO EVERY SINGLE ITEM, AND IT TOOK HOURS. THAT IS THE WORK. FOR THE WALK-ON'S, IF THEY ARE TIED TO ANOTHER AMENDMENT, FOR INSTANCE, COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA AS AN AMENDMENT THAT IS TIED TO AN EXISTING AMENDMENT, AND COUNCILMEMBER WOO HAS AN AMENDMENT TIED TO AN EXISTING AMENDMENT -- WE WILL TAKE THOSE AT THAT TIME, OR COORDINATE THAT WAY. FOR ALL OTHER WALK-ON AMENDMENTS, WE WILL HAVE SECTION E, AND WE WILL TAKE THEM AT THE VERY END. AND SO THAT'S HOW WE ARE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD HERE. WITH THAT, DR. NOBLE, DEPUTY DIRECTOR HO, ANY OTHER REMARKS? >> I THINK THAT IS A WISE CHOICE. WE HAVE BEEN WATCHING VARIOUS PROPOSED LANGUAGE OPTIONS GET BANDAGE BACK AND FORTH. >> I THINK THAT WE SHOULD PREPARE TO VOTE ON GROUP D ON FRIDAY. SO TOMORROW, LOOK, IF WE SPEAK TO EVERYTHING AT RAPID SPEED TOMORROW, AND WE GET TO D EARLY IN THE DAY, WE WILL TAKE IT OUT. IF NOT, WE WILL GROUPS A, B, AND C TOMORROW, WHICH SHOULD TAKE THE MAJORITY OF THE DAY. I WANT TO PREP EVERYONE FOR WHERE WE ARE AT. WITH THAT, IF THERE IS NO FURTHER BUSINESS BEFORE THE COMMITTEE, THE SELECT BUDGET COMMITTEE ON NOVEMBER 13th WILL BE ADJOURNED. HEARING NO OBJECTION, THE COMMITTEE IS ADJOURNED. OH, THAT'S NOT THE RIGHT LIST. WE HAVE REACHED THE END OF TODAY'S AGENDA. THE COMMITTEE WILL MEET TOMORROW AT 9:30 A.M., WHERE THE COMMITTEE WILL BE PUTTING ON COMMENTS. PUBLIC COMMENT WILL NOT BE TAKEN TOMORROW. IS THERE ANY FURTHER BUSINESS TO COME BEFORE THE SELECT BUDGET COMMITTEE BEFORE WE ADJOURN? HEARING NONE, WE ARE ADJOURNED. THANK YOU.
