>> IT IS MAY 5th, 2020, THE
SPECIAL HOUSING AND FINANCING
COMMITTEE WILL COME TO ORDER.
THE CLERK PLEASE CALL THE ROLE?
>> CHAIR MOSQUEDA?
>> VICE-CHAIR HERBOLD?
COUNCIL PRESIDENT GONZALEZ?
COUNCILMEMBER LEWIS?
COUNCILMEMBER STRAUSS, AND
COUNCILMEMBER MORALES?
>> MADAM CHAIR, THAT IS THREE
PRESENT.
>> THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AS
AN ALTERNATE.
COUNCILMEMBER GONZALEZ IS GET
EXCUSED FOR TODAY.
THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE.
THIS IS THE THIRD MEETING WE
HAVE HAD IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS.
I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR
ONGOING PARTICIPATION IN OUR
CONVERSATIONS, NOT JUST FOR THE
ISSUES THAT COME BEFORE THE
FINANCE AND HOUSING COMMITTEE,
BUT FOR YOUR ENGAGEMENT IN
ISSUES RELATED TO THE FEDERAL
AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT.
THESE DOLLARS ARE BEING
DISCUSSED IN THIS COMMITTEE AS
WELL.
THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR HER
DISSIPATING IN LAST NIGHTS LONG
PUBLIC HEARING.
WE HAD A MOST THREE HOURS WORTH
-- I SHOULD SAY OVER TWO HOURS
OF COMMENTS FROM FOLKS WHO DID
CALL IN AND PROVIDE US WITH
SOME GREAT FEEDBACK FOR THE
FEDERAL AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN
DOLLARS.
TODAY'S DISCUSSION WILL INVOLVE
A POSSIBLE VOTE ON THE ACTION
PLAN.
WE WILL HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING
ON THIS BILL, THEN WE WILL TAKE
POTENTIAL ACTION.
WE DO HAVE A TECHNICAL
AMENDMENT THAT IS INCLUDED IN
YOUR MATERIALS AS WELL FROM
CENTRAL STAFF FOR A MINOR
TECHNICAL UPDATE.
WE WILL THEN MOVE ON TO THE
2021 FORWARD ORDINANCE IN THE
120039, THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE A
PUBLIC HEARING, BUT WE ARE
INTERESTED IN HEARING FROM
ANYBODY WHO MAY WANT TO CALL IN
TODAY TO PROVIDE PUBLIC COMMENT
ON EITHER ONE.
THAT IS THE SUMMARY OF OUR
AGENDA, TODAY.
I WILL NOTE THAT AGAIN, WE HAVE
A REGULAR COMMENT AT THE
BEGINNING, THEN WE WILL HAVE A
SEPARATE PUBLIC COMMENT SECTION
BEFORE WE TAKE ANY ACTION ON
THE ANNUAL ACTION PLAN.
THAT IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED
FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THOSE TWO
OPPORTUNITIES FOR FOLKS TO
PROVIDE PUBLIC COMMENT.
SO I DO WANT TO NOTE, THANK YOU
VERY MUCH COUNCILMEMBER
HERBOLD, THANK YOU VICE-CHAIR
FOR BEING WITH US AS WELL.
WE APPRECIATE YOUR PRESENCE,
TODAY.
IF THERE IS NO OBJECTION,
TODAY'S AGENDA WILL BE ADOPTED.
HEARING NO ADDENDA --
OBJECTION, WE WILL MOVE FORWARD
TO TODAY'S PUBLIC SIGN-UP
SHEET.
AS WE KNOW, WE TAKE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO FOLKS TO CALL AT
THE BEGINNING OF THE MEETING.
I BELIEVE THERE IS NOBODY
LISTED FOR PUBLIC COMMENT AT
THIS TIME.
IS THAT CORRECT, MAMMA CLERK --
MADAM CLERK?
YOU DON'T SEE ANYONE?
OKAY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
MADAM CLERK.
SO JUST FOR THE VIEWING
AUDIENCES WHO HAVE NOT HAD A
CHANCE TO CALL IN, WE WILL
SHARE YOUR COMMENT IF YOU WOULD
LIKE TO SHARE THOSE AT
SEATTLE.GOV.
WE WILL SHARE THOSE AROUND.
IF YOU HAVE AN INTEREST IN
SPEAKING IN THE ACTION PLAN,
YOU STILL HAVE A CHANCE TO SIGN
UP.
WE WILL GO AHEAD AND MOVE INTO
THE ITEMS OF BUSINESS ON
TODAY'S AGENDA.
IF YOU WANT TO SPEAK ON THE
ACTUAL PLAN, YOU STILL -- YOU
STILL HAVE A CHANCE TO GO AHEAD
AND PROVIDE PUBLIC COMMENT.
I WILL PAUSE HERE REAL QUICK
BEFORE A CLOSE PUBLIC COMMENT
TO MAKE SURE I DIDN'T GET A
NOTE FROM OUR TECHNICAL POKES.
-- FOLKS.
IS DAVID HINES ON THE LINE?
>> THERE IS A COMMENT REGISTER,
YES.
>> APOLOGIES.
I'M GLAD WE DIDN'T CLOSE IT
OUT.
DAVID HAYNES, YOU'RE WELCOME TO
PROVIDE TWO MINUTES OF PUBLIC
COMMENT.
WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME, TODAY.
>> HI, THANK YOU.
IS THIS FEDERAL MONEY GOING TO
SOLVE THE HOMELESS CRISIS AND
THE HOUSING CRISIS, OR IS IT
SPECIFICALLY TARGETING PEOPLE
OF COLOR TO BUY OFF CITIZENS
AND NONCITIZENS WHO ARE
REPRESENTED BY ACTIVIST WHO
HELPED REELECT DEMOCRATS WHO
DON'T SCRUTINIZE ALL THE TAX
MONEY BEING SPENT IN THE NAME
OF THE HOMELESS CRISIS THAT
ENDS UP IN THEIR REELECTION
APPARATUS OR IN SOME RACE WAR
AGENDA THAT PURPOSEFULLY
DISCRIMINATES AGAINST INNOCENT
CITIZENS, STILL HOMELESS.
IS THIS MONEY GOING TO SOLVE
THE HOUSING CRISIS WITH 21ST-
CENTURY FIRST WORLD QUALITY
DEVELOPMENT WITH QUALIFIED
DEVELOPERS, OR IS IT FURTHER
CREATING AND EMPOWERING MODERN
THIRD WORLD UNQUALIFIED
DEVELOPERS AND POWER MONGERING
ORGANIZERS TREATING VOTES FOR
MONEY NEEDED TO SOLVE A
HOMELESS HOUSING CRISIS?
PLEASE RESIGN IF YOU ARE
CONTINUING TO REDIRECT MONEY
INTO NONCITIZENS WALLETS AND
RACIST ORGANIZATIONS AT THE
EXPENSE OF INNOCENT, FORSAKEN
HOMELESS CITIZENS.
THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU FOR CALLING IN,
TODAY, DAVID.
DOES THAT CONCLUDE OUR PUBLIC
COMMENT?
>> THERE ARE NO OTHER PUBLIC
COMMENT REGISTRANTS.
>> THANK YOU FOR THE
CLARIFICATION.
I APPRECIATE IT.
THAT CONCLUDES THE PUBLIC
COMMENT SECTION FOR THE GENERAL
PRESENTATION.
LET'S MOVE ON TO ITEM NUMBER
ONE.
MADAM CLERK, WILL YOU PLEASE
READ ITEM NUMBER ONE INTO THE
RECORD?
>> ITEM NUMBER ONE, COUNCIL
BILL 120059 AND ORDINANCE
RELATED TO FUNDING AND HOUSING
FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
PROGRAMS ADOPTING ANNUAL ACTION
PLAN UPDATES TO THE 2018-2022
CONSOLIDATED PLAN FOR HOUSING
AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FOR
PUBLIC HEARING BRIEFING
DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE VOTE.
>> THANK YOU, MADAM CLERK.
I SEE WITH US DAN BURTON FROM
THE HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT,
AMY GORE FROM THE COUNCIL
CENTRAL STAFF, THANK YOU VERY
MUCH FOR JOINING US, TODAY.
COLLEAGUES, YOU ALSO HAVE A
CENTRAL STAFF MEMO ON THIS.
THANK YOU, AMY, FOR SENDING
THAT AROUND.
IT IS DATED MAY 3rd, AND THESE
ARE YOUR MATERIALS.
COLLEAGUES, THIS IS THE
úLEGISLATION THAT ADOPTS THE
2021 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN IN ITS
FINAL FORM AT THE FIRST OF EACH
YEAR TO ACCEPT GRANT FUNDS FROM
THE DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND
URBAN DEVELOPMENT.
IT DESCRIBES HOW THE CITY WILL
SPEND FOR FEDERAL GRANTS, THE
HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES FOR
PEOPLE WITH AIDS GRANT, ALSO
KNOWN AS HARBAUGH, THE HOME
INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM,
HOME FUNDS.
AS A REMINDER, THE CITY
ESTIMATED THAT THE GRANT
FUNDING AMOUNTS WERE IN FOR
PROGRAMS, AND APPROPRIATED IN
THE 2021 ADOPTED BUDGET. IN
MARCH, THE CITY RECEIVED NOTICE
OF THE FINAL GRANT FUNDING
AMOUNTS AND THEREFORE, THIS
LEGISLATION UPDATES THE ANNUAL
ACTION PLAN AND THE 2021
ADOPTED BUDGET WITH A FINAL
CORRECT NUMBER.
THERE ISN'T A HUGE DIFFERENCE.
I WILL TURN IT OVER TO AMY TO
WALK US THROUGH WHAT THOSE
DIFFERENCES ARE AND A SLIGHT
AMENDMENT WE WILL ALSO CONSIDER
AFTER WE GO INTO A PUBLIC
HEARING.
BUT LET'S DO AN OVERVIEW OF
WHAT THE LEGISLATION IS IN
FRONT OF US SO EVERYONE CAN GET
ORIENTED.
THANKS, AMY.
>> THANK YOU, I AM AMY GORE
FROM COUNCIL CENTRAL STAFF.
DO YOU WANT TO INTRODUCE
YOURSELF, BRIEFLY?
>> YEP, I AM FROM THE HUMAN
SERVICES DEPARTMENT.
I MANAGE THESE FEDERAL GRANTS
WITH MY TEAM.
>> THANK YOU, DAN.
>> COUNCILMEMBER, YOU GAVE A
GREAT INTRODUCTION.
I WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT A FEW
THINGS.
THE COUNCIL BILL BEFORE US
DOES FIVE THINGS.
IT ADOPTS THE FINAL 2021 ANNUAL
ACTION PLAN.
IT AMENDS THE 2019 AND 2020
ACTION PLANS TO REFLECT THE
FEDERAL CARES THAT THE CITY HAS
RECEIVED AS WELL AS CHANGES
THAT WERE MADE IN RESPONSE TO
COVID-19.
IT APPROVES THE SUBMITTAL OF
THE PLANS, IT AUTHORIZES THE
ACCEPTANCE OF GRANT FUNDS AND
AMENDS THE 2021 BUDGET TO
REFLECT THE ACTUAL AMOUNTS OF
THESE GRANT FUNDS.
TO DIVE INTO THE MOST
SUBSTANTIVE THING THAT THE BILL
DOES IS TO FINALIZE THE 2021
ANNUAL ACTION PLAN.
IF YOU LOOK AT TABLE 1 OF THE
MEMO, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE
FINAL 2021 AMOUNTS ARE
RELATIVELY CLOSE TO THE
ESTIMATED FUNDS THAT WERE
INCLUDED IN THE 2021 BUDGET
CDBG HOME PSG WERE SLIGHTLY
LOWER THAN EXPECTED AND IT WAS
$200,000 HIGHER THAN EXPECTED,
BUT THE NET CHANGE ACROSS THE
PROGRAM WAS APPROXIMATELY
$6000.
TO REFLECT THE CHANGES IN GRANT
REVENUES, THE PLAN MAKES
RELATIVELY MINOR CHANGES TO THE
USE OF FUNDS WHICH ARE SHOWN IN
TABLE 2 OF THE MEMO.
THESE CHANGES REQUIRE AN
AMENDMENT TO THE 2021 BUDGET AS
SHOWN IN TABLE 3 OF THE MEMO.
AS NOTED IN THE MEMO, THE
APPROPRIATIONS TABLE WAS GOING
TO REQUIRE A MEMO TO BE
AMENDED.
THAT IS ATTACHED -- IT IS THE
FINAL PAGE. YOU CAN MAKE
CORRECTIONS AND MAKE SURE THE
2021 APPROPRIATIONS ARE
CORRECT.
THE BILL ALSO ADOPTS AMENDMENTS
TO THE 2020 AND 2019 PLANS, AS
I MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, THEY
ARE ALSO FUNDS THAT HAVE BEEN
APPROPRIATED BY COUNCIL IN
PREVIOUS ACTIONS, AND THIS IS
JUST UPDATING THE APS TO
REFLECT THAT , AND THEN IT WILL
BE SUBMITTED AND FINALIZED BY
DAN'S TEAM SO WE CAN GET THOSE
FUNDS IN THE DOOR.
SO THAT IS WHAT THIS PIECE OF
LEGISLATION IS.
AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS FOR
ANYONE?
>> I'M NOT SEEING ANY
QUESTIONS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
AMY.
>> DAN, IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE
YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD, CONTEXT
FOR THIS LEGISLATION?
>> I DON'T THINK SO.
AMY DID A GOOD JOB EXPLAINING
WHAT THIS IS.
THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF MONEY WE'RE
GETTING FROM THESE GRANTS IS
ABOUT $22 MILLION, AND WE HAD A
SLIGHT DECREASE THIS YEAR FROM
OUR PREVIOUS YEARS ALLOCATIONS,
ABOUT 2%.
WE ARE HOPING NOT TO SEE
DECREASES EVERY YEAR OR DO
RESEARCH ON THAT TO TRY TO
PREDICT THE POPULATION CHANGES
THAT DRIVE OUR ALLOCATIONS.
>> GREAT, I WOULD BE INTERESTED
IN THAT AS WELL.
I DID SEE FROM THE MEMO THAT
AMY PROVIDED THAT THERE WAS A
SLIGHT CHANGE IN SOME OF THE
FUNDING BECAUSE OF THE
DEMOGRAPHICS OF HOUSING
CHARACTERISTIC CHANGES NOTED ON
PAGE THREE, AND I WOULD BE
INTERESTED IN LEARNING MORE
ABOUT WHAT THAT MEANS.
SO IF YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL
CONTEXT RIGHT NOW, AMY OR DAN,
FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE THAT, I'M
ALSO HAPPY TO WAIT FOR
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO COME
IN.
>> I WILL PUT SOMETHING
TOGETHER FOR YOU AND SEND IT TO
YOU.
>> AMY, ANYTHING ELSE FROM YOU?
EXCELLENT.
I DON'T SEE ANY ADDITIONAL
COMMENTS.
LET'S GO AHEAD AND MOVE TO THE
PUBLIC HEARING.
COLLEAGUES, AGAIN, THIS IS AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO HAVE A
PUBLIC HEARING.
THIS IS THE SECOND PUBLIC
HEARING ON THE ANNUAL ACTION
PLAN, AS AMY NOTED, WE TOOK
SOME ASSUMPTIONS THAT WERE MADE
EARLIER IN THE YEAR, ONCE WE
GET CLARIFICATION FOR THE
FINAL, WE LIKE TO HAVE THIS
CLEANUP BILL TO ADDRESS ANY
CHANGES IN ASSUMPTIONS, AND WE
ALSO OFFER THE OPPORTUNITY FOR
ANOTHER PUBLIC HEARING.
AT THIS TIME, I WILL OPEN THE
REMOTE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE
ACTION PLAN.
EACH SPEAKER WILL HAVE TWO
MINUTES FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.
THE COMMENT TIME IS NOW OPEN,
AND WE WILL BEGIN WITH THE
FIRST SPEAKER ON THE LIST.
BEFORE SPEAKING, REMEMBER TO
PUSH STAR SIX SO YOU CAN BE A
NEW DATE ON YOUR LINE.
I SEE ONE PERSON SIGNED UP FOR
PUBLIC COMMENT.
DAVID, I SEE YOU LISTED AGAIN.
YOU ARE WELCOME, DAVID, TO
PRESENT AT THIS TIME IF YOU
WOULD LIKE TO HIT STAR 6 TO
UNMUTE YOURSELF, WE WOULD LOVE
TO HEAR FROM YOU.
>> [ INDISCERNIBLE ]
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MADAM
CLERK.
WE WILL WAIT ONE MORE MINUTE
JUST TO MAKE SURE HE DIDN'T
ACCIDENTALLY GET DROPPED OFF OR
IS TRYING TO DIAL BACK IN.
AGAIN, IF YOU DO HAVE
ADDITIONAL PUBLIC COMMENT YOU
WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE FOR ANY
ITEMS ON THE AGENDA, YOU'RE
WELCOME TO EMAIL US AT
COUNCIL@SEATTLE.GOV AND WE WILL
MAKE SURE TO GET THAT
INFORMATION CIRCULATED.
OKAY, IF HE IS STILL NOT
PRESENT, I DON'T SEE HIM ON MY
END, THIS CONCLUDES THE PUBLIC
HEARING ON THE ANNUAL ACTION
PLAN, AND WE WILL GO AHEAD AND
MOVE TO TAKING THE TECHNICAL
AMENDMENT OR ANY ADDITIONAL
QUESTIONS.
NOT SEEING HANDS FOR ADDITIONAL
QUESTIONS, AMY, WOULD YOU LIKE
TO SUMMARIZE THE TECHNICAL
AMENDMENT FOR US ONE MORE TIME?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
THERE IS AN ERROR IN THE
APPROPRIATION TABLES -- I'M
SORRY, THE TWO APPROPRIATION
TABLES THAT ARE IN THE BILL,
ONE OF THEM IS IN SECTION 5,
AND ONE OF THEM IS IN SECTION
6. IT IS ONE TABLE OF HOW THE
MONEY INCREASES AND HOW THE
MONEY DECREASES, AND IT'S JUST
THAT THOSE WERE DIVIDED UP A
LITTLE BIT INCORRECTLY, SO THIS
CORRECTS THE APPROPRIATIONS
NEEDED IN THE 2021 BUDGET TO
ENACT THE PLAN.
>> WONDERFUL, THANK YOU.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT
THAT?
OKAY.
THEN I WILL GO THROUGH THIS
PROCEDURAL PROCESS TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE ARE INCLUDING THIS IN
THE APPROPRIATE WAYS ACCORDING
TO THE PROPER RULES AND ORDERS.
IF THERE IS NO OBJECTION,
COUNCIL WILL BE SUSPENDED TO
ALLOW THE COMMITTEE TO VOTE ON
A RECOMMENDATION ON THE SAME
DAY AS A PUBLIC HEARING WAS
HELD ON COUNCIL BILL 120059 .
ARE THERE ANY OBJECTIONS?
HEARING NO OBJECTIONS, THE
COMMITTEE WILL PROCEED WITH
MOVING A COMMITTEE
RECOMMENDATION.
AT THIS POINT, I WOULD LIKE TO
MOVE THAT THE COMMITTEE
RECOMMENDS PASSAGE OF COUNCIL
BILL 120059 . IS THERE A SECOND?
>> SECOND.
>> THANK YOU VICE-CHAIR
HERBOLD.
ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL
COMMENTS?
HEARING NONE, AT THIS TIME, I
WOULD LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND ADD
THIS TECHNICAL CORRECTION THAT
AMY JUST SUMMARIZED, AMENDMENT
ONE, IS THE AMENDMENT CORRECT?
IT'S A SMALL CHANGE IN THE
NUMBER ON A TABLE IN SECTION 5
INCLUDED IN THE LEGISLATION,
MOVING THE NUMBER FROM 131,572
TO 1000 -- 1031 532.
YOU CAN SEE IT WAS SENT TO
COUNCIL COLLEAGUES DATED MAY
3rd.
I MOVED TO AMEND COUNCIL BILL
120059 AS PRESENTED ON
AMENDMENT ONE.
IS THERE A SECOND?
>> SECOND.
SORRY.
>> WE FIRST RECOMMENDED
PASSAGE, AND NOW WE ARE MOVING
THE AMENDMENT, YES.
THANK YOU FOR DOING BOTH OF
THOSE SECONDS, IT HAS BEEN
MOVED AND SECONDED THAT THE
AMENDMENT NUMBER ONE WOULD BE
ADDED TO THE BILL.
ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL
DISCUSSIONS?
OKAY, HEARING NONE, MADAM
CLERK, WE YOU PLEASE CALL THE
ROLL ON THE ADOPTION OF
AMENDMENT ONE?
>> CHAIR MOSQUEDA?
>> BYE.
>> COUNCILMEMBER HERBOLD?
>> YES.
>> COUNCILMEMBER MORALES?
>> MADAM CHAIR, THAT IS FOUR IN
FAVOR, NONE OPPOSED.
>> WONDERFUL, THANK YOU VERY
MUCH.
THE BILL IN FRONT OF US IS
AMENDMENT -- AMENDED NOW.
IT INCLUDES IMMINENT ONE.
THE MOTION CARRIES.
NOW THE BILL AS AMENDED IN
FRONT OF US, ARE THERE ANY
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS ON THE
AMENDED BILL?
HEARING NONE, WITH THE CLERK
PLEASE CALL THE ROLL ON THE
PASSAGE OF AMENDED COUNCIL BILL
120059?
>> CHAIR MOSQUEDA?
>> VICE-CHAIR HERBOLD?
COUNCIL MEMBER LOUIS?
COUNCILMEMBER MORALES?
MADAM CHAIR, THAT IS FOUR IN
FAVOR, NONE OPPOSED.
>> THANK YOU, COLLEAGUES.
THE MOTION CARRIES.
THE RECOMMENDATION THAT THE
BILL PASS AS AMENDED BE SENT
FOR A FINAL VOTE.
AMY, THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK ON
THIS.
I REALLY APPRECIATE THE CENTRAL
STAFF MEMO, AND DAN THINKS --
THANKS YOUR TEAM FOR MANAGING
THESE DOLLARS AND TYPING UP THE
ASSISTANCE IN THESE FUNDS SO
THEY ARE ABLE TO GET OUT THE
DOOR, WE ARE HOPING FOR
CONTINUED INCREASE PARTNERSHIP
FROM FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AS WE
SEE ADDITIONAL FUNDS COME DOWN
IN THE FORM OF ASSISTANCE FOR
HOUSING, ESPECIALLY EVEN THAT
WE ARE AT A 40 YEAR HISTORIC
LOW, WE HAVE A LOT TO MAKE UP
FOR.
BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK ON
THIS BILL.
WE LOOK FOR -- FORWARD TO THE
TITLE PASSAGE.
>> THANK YOU.
>> WONDERFUL, LET'S MOVE ON TO
ITEM NUMBER TWO, CLAD -- MADAM
CLERK TO KENNY PLEASE READ
AGENDA NUMBER TWO?
>> 120039, AN ORDINANCE
AMENDING ORDINANCE 126 237
WHICH ADOPTED THE 2021 BUDGET
INCLUDING THE 2021-20 2026
CAPITAL BRIEFING PROGRAM
CHANGING FOR A POSSIBLE VOTE.
>> AS ALWAYS, THANK YOU MIKE
FOR BEING WITH US, TODAY.
CENTRAL STAFF, AND BUDGET
EXTRAORDINAIRE WHO HAS BEEN IN
THIS COMMITTEE MANY A TIME,
TODAY, WE ARE CONSIDERING A
CARRYFORWARD OR RENTS --
ORDINANCE IS CARRIED FORWARD BY
THE MAYOR.
IT IS A BILL THAT ALLOWS THEM
TO CARRY FORWARD BILLS WITH
UNSPENT DOLLARS.
THESE DOLLARS WOULD TYPICALLY
BE SENT TO THE OVERALL BUDGET
OTHERWISE APPROPRIATED, AND THE
PURPOSE FOR THE BILL IN FRONT
OF US, TODAY, IS CONSIDERED
CARRYING THOSE DOLLARS INTO THE
2021 APPROPRIATIONS FOR
DISCRETE PROGRAMS.
THANKS AGAIN TO TOM MIKESELL
WHO HAS DONE INCREDIBLE WORK ON
THIS AND ALSO PROVIDED
INFORMATION IN THE MEMO IN
FRONT OF US AND WILL WALK US IN
FRONT OF THE LEGISLATION FOR
THE CONSIDERATION, TODAY.
THANKS SO MUCH, TOM.
>> AND FOR THE RECORD, TOM
MIKESELL WITH CENTRAL STAFF,
AND AS YOU DESCRIBED, MADAM
CHAIR, WHAT I HAVE, TODAY, HAS
PROVIDED AN OVERVIEW, NOT JUST
OF THE BILL BUT OF THE BUDGET
ADJUSTMENT PROCESS AT LARGE,
SINCE IT IS A PROCESS THAT IS
YEAR-LONG AND HAS MANY
DIFFERENT STEPS WITH THE
CARRYFORWARD BILL WHICH IS
TODAY'S BILL BEING THE FIRST
SIGNIFICANT ONE.
I PUT TOGETHER A POWERPOINT
THAT WILL HELP DESCRIBE SOME OF
THESE CONCEPTS.
SO GENERALLY, HERE IS THE
ROADMAP FOR TODAY'S
PRESENTATION.
I WILL BRIEFLY GO THROUGH A
BACKGROUND ON THE BUDGET OF
ADJUSTMENT PROCESS.
THERE IS MORE DETAIL IN THE
STAFF MEMO.
THE COMPANIES HAVE A RECORD
BEHIND THIS INFORMATION.
SOME OF IT GETS A BIT WONKY,
BUT IT IS USEFUL TO KNOW
BECAUSE THESE THEMES WILL BE
PRESENT THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
I WILL TALK ABOUT THE ADOPTED
BUDGET, AUTOMATIC CARRYFORWARDS
WHICH IS MORE OF A TECHNICAL
EXERCISE, SUPPLEMENTALS, WHICH
INCLUDES TODAY'S BILL, AND
THEIR BRIEF DISCUSSION ON
EXCEPTIONS, THEN WE WILL DIVE
INTO THE BILL ON THE AGENDA,
TALK ABOUT NEXT STEPS, AND THEN
ISSUE THE IDENTIFICATION FOR
COMMITTEES.
SO THE FIRST STEP IN THE
BUDGETED PROCESS IS, IN FACT,
THE ADOPTED BUDGET ACCORDING TO
A STATE LAW, 30 DAYS BEFORE THE
START OF THE FISCAL YEAR, THE
CITY COUNCIL MUST PASS A
BUDGET.
THAT BUDGET COVERS OPERATIONS,
GENERALLY, FROM JANUARY 1st TO
DECEMBER 31st OF THE NEXT
FISCAL YEAR, THE OPERATING
COMPONENTS IN THE BUDGET ARE
WHAT WE CALL LAPSING.
SO THEY GO AWAY TO MANY FURTHER
ACTION IN GENERAL TERMS, SO
MOST OF THOSE OPERATING
OPERATIONS WILL GO AWAY AT
YEARS END.
ANY CAPITAL BUDGET
APPROPRIATIONS PURSUANT TO
PROVISIONS OF STATE OF LAW,
THOSE DO NOT LAPSE.
THEY CONTINUE INTO FUTURE YEARS
UNTIL FORMALLY ADOPTED BY THE
COUNCIL.
THAT IS BECAUSE A CAPITAL
BUDGET APPROPRIATION FOR
PROJECTS THAT ARE SIGNIFICANT
CAN TAKE A NUMBER OF YEARS.
AS YOU WILL RECALL ON NOVEMBER
23rd OF LAST YEAR, COUNCIL
PASSED ORDINANCE WENT TO 6237
WHICH IS AMENDED BY -- WHICH
WOULD BE AMENDED BY THE BILL
THAT AUTHORIZED THE 2021 BUDGET
FOR ALL 6 1/2 BILLION DOLLARS.
THE FIRST STEP -- AND I WILL
HAVE A TABLE THAT SUMMARIZES
THIS, BUT THE FIRST STEP IS
AUTOMATIC CARRYFORWARD.
THIS IS A TECHNICAL EXERCISE
THAT DOESN'T HAVE AN IMPACT ON
THE BUDGET, THOUGH IT DOES COME
TO COUNCIL.
THAT IS BECAUSE, AS I MENTIONED
PREVIOUSLY, THE CAPITAL
APPROPRIATIONS THAT ARE
PROVIDED IN THE BUDGETS DO NOT
LAPSE.
SO THEY CONTINUE FROM YEAR TO
YEAR UNTIL THE PROJECT WORK IS
DONE OR UNTIL THE BUDGETS ARE
AGGREGATED BY THE COUNCIL.
SO THAT IS A SIGNIFICANT
COMPONENT.
NEXT UP IS LEGISLATIVE
ADJUSTMENTS.
SO, FOR GRANTS, IN PARTICULAR,
AND ALSO SOME OTHER
ADMINISTRATIVE ADJUSTMENTS,
THERE ARE SPENDING
APPROPRIATIONS THAT ARE GIVEN,
SO THESE ARE OPERATING
APPROPRIATIONS THAT ARE GIVEN
TO AUTOMATICALLY CONTINUE INTO
THE FUTURE.
SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IS
HANDLED, TECHNICALLY, ONCE
COUNCIL GETS THE AUTHORITY, IT
PERSISTS AS WORK EXPENDITURE
UNTIL THEY ARE FULLY EXPENDED
OR AGGREGATED.
AND THEN FURTHER TECHNICAL IS
THE [ INDISCERNIBLE ]. THESE
ARE JUST RESERVED FOR THE CITY
FINANCE DEPARTMENT TO PAY FOR
PROMISES TO VENDORS FOR
SERVICES THAT OF -- HAVE BEEN
PROVIDED IF WE HAVE NOT
RECEIVED THE INVOICE.
WE NEED TO HAVE THE BUDGET
AUTHORITY IN ORDER TO PAY THOSE
BILLS WHEN IT IS ESSENTIALLY TO
MAKE GOOD ON THOSE PROMISES
THAT WE'VE MADE TO VENDORS AND
OUTSIDE PROVIDERS FROM WRITER
YOUR EXPENSE.
SO IN TOTAL, THERE IS $7
BILLION OF THIS AUTOMATIC
CARRYFORWARD BUDGET THAT HAS
BEEN CARRIED INTO 2021 FISCAL
YEAR, AND THERE IS NO FURTHER
COUNCIL ACTION REQUIRED FOR US
TO TAKE PLACE BECAUSE IN ALL
CASES, IT IS EITHER PURELY
TECHNICAL OR PRIOR
AUTHORIZATION WAS GIVEN.
SO THIS NEXT STEP IS THE
SIGNIFICANT POINT AT WHICH THE
COUNCIL DOES HAVE A SIGNIFICANT
ROLE IN THIS CURRENT YEAR, AND
THIS IS WITH REGARDS TO [
INDISCERNIBLE ]. IN REGARDS TO
STATE LAW, THE CITY CAN MAKE
ADJUSTMENTS TO THE BUDGET FROM
THE EMERGENCY FUND, SO I WILL
READ SPECIFICALLY FROM THE LAW,
SINCE IT'S INTERESTING, FROM
THE EMERGENCY BUDGET OR OTHER
DESIGNATED FUNDS, AN AMOUNT
SUFFICIENT TO MEET THE
NECESSARY EXPENDITURES OF THE
CITY FOR WHICH NO
APPROPRIATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE
DUE TO CAUSES WHICH COULD NOT
REASONABLY HAVE BEEN FORESEEN
AT THE TIME OF MAKING THE
BUDGET.
SO IT'S ESSENTIALLY SAYING THAT
THESE ADDITIONAL SUPPLEMENTAL
APPROPRIATIONS ARE REQUIRED
BECAUSE WE ARE PERCEIVING THEM
OF THE BUDGET WAS BEING
DELIBERATED FOR THE ENTIRE
YEAR.
THE SEVERAL MENTAL BILLS HAVE
TAKEN A NUMBER OF FORMS.
WE HAVE THE TRADITIONAL FORM.
REALLY, ANY INCREASE TO THE
BUDGET IS BEING MADE UNDER THIS
STATE SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET
AUTHORITY.
WE HAVE STANDALONE BILLS, IN
FACT, THERE HAVE BEEN A TOTAL
OF SIX BILLS PASSED BY THE CITY
COUNCIL AS OF APRIL 30th WHEN I
WAS PREPARING THE MATERIALS
THAT HAD A TOTAL OF $79
MILLION.
I WON'T GO INTO THE DETAIL, BUT
THOSE ARE COVERED IN THE MEMO,
BUT THOSE HAVE BEEN ADJUSTMENTS
IN APPROPRIATIONS THROUGH THE
SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET AUTHORITY.
THE NEXT KIND OF BUCKET OF
TYPES OF SUPPLEMENTALS IS WHAT
I WOULD TERM COMPREHENSIVE.
AND THESE COMPREHENSIVE IS --
IN THE FACT THAT THEY ARE
CITYWIDE PROGRAMS FOR JUST A
SMALL SET OF DEPARTMENTS
WHEREAS MORE COPPERHEADS OF
ONE'S WERE A CALL TO ALL
DEPARTMENTS MADE BY THE CITY
BUDGET OFFICE TO KIND OF
IDENTIFY THOSE AREAS THAT WE
MEET THE CRITERIA AND STATE
LAWS SURVEYING A REQUEST FOR AN
INCREASE TO THEIR BUDGET.
SO TODAY'S COUNCIL BILL 120039
IS THE CARRYFORWARD BILL, WHICH
IS ESSENTIALLY A SUPPLEMENTAL
BILL THAT IS CHARACTERIZED --
AND THIS IS THE CHAIR, YOU
DESCRIBED IT WELL, IT'S MONEY
THAT WOULD HAVE OTHERWISE
LASTED -- IT DID LAST, IN FACT,
AND DEPARTMENTS ARE ASKING IN
ORDER TO CONTINUE THE PROGRAM
SERVICE FOR WHICH THE MONEY WAS
ORIGINALLY PROVIDED, THEY ARE
ASKING THE CITY COUNCIL TO BE
INCREASING THE BUDGET TO
CONTINUE THOSE PROGRAMS TO MEET
THOSE OBJECTIVES.
AND THEN A FINAL PIECE, WE HAVE
NOT SEEN ONE OF THOSE YET.
THOSE ARE REGULAR PERIODIC
GUILDS WE RECEIVED FROM THE
EXECUTIVE, AND THEY ARE
COMPREHENSIVE IN THAT THEY
COVER CITYWIDE REQUESTS AND ARE
NOT DISCRETE.
I WILL TALK A LITTLE BIT IN THE
NEXT STEPS CATEGORY ABOUT WHAT
THE POTENTIAL SUPPLEMENTAL
BILLS IN THE FUTURE -- AND THEN
FINALLY, IN THE EVENT AFTER THE
YEAR ENDS THERE ARE CASES IN
WHICH DEPARTMENTS MAY HAVE
OVERSPENT THE AUTHORITY THAT IS
GRANTED BY CITY COUNCIL, IN
PAST YEARS, IT HAS BEEN
TRANSMITTED -- A REQUEST TO
PROVIDE BUDGET AUTHORITY FOR
THOSE AREAS WHERE SPENDING MAY
HAVE BEEN GREATER THAN THE
AUTHORITY [ INDISCERNIBLE ].
SO THIS ENCAPSULATES THE STATUS
AS OF APRIL 30th IN TERMS OF
THOSE VARIOUS CATEGORIES OF
ADJUSTMENTS.
IT IS A VERY HIGH LEVEL
STARTING WITH $6.6 BILLION
ADOPTED BUDGET -- IT WAS
CARRYFORWARD ADDING BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS, STANDALONE LEGISLATION
HAS $79 MILLION BILLED BETWEEN
A REVISED BUDGET OF ABOUT A
HALF BILLION DOLLARS.
THAT IS APPROXIMATELY 27%
INCREASE FROM THE 2021 ADOPTED
BUDGET.
SO I WILL JUST PAUSE, ACTUALLY,
VERY QUICKLY, TO SEE IF THERE
ARE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE
OVERVIEW.
OKAY.
>> I WILL SAY, THANK YOU, TOM,
FOR THE MEMO YOU PROVIDED.
IF FOLKS WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT
THE SUMMARY STARTING ON PAGE
TWO OF THE SUPPLEMENTAL
DISCUSSIONS, I THINK THERE'S A
LOT TO BE PROUD OF, HERE.
SOME OF THE STANDALONE
ORDINANCES THAT WE PASSED
INCLUDING EARLIER THIS YEAR,
THE $12 MILLION THAT WAS
INCLUDED FOR NONTARGET SHELTER
SERVICES FOR HOTEL ROOMS, TINY
HOME VILLAGES AND ENHANCED
SHELTER, YOU WILL REMEMBER THE
23 MILLION THAT JUST PASSED
LAST MONTH, THAT WAS RELATED TO
RENTAL ASSISTANCE, AND OF
COURSE, THE ONGOING DESIRE TO
MAKE SURE THAT THE API
COMMUNITY HAD ADDITIONAL
SUPPORTS AS WELL, THAT WAS $1.2
MILLION JUST TO NAME A FEW OF
THE PIECES THAT WE PASSED.
SO WE JUST THOUGHT THOSE WERE
IMPORTANT PIECES TO LOOK UP
AMONG THE CATEGORIES THAT TOM
DESCRIBED.
AND TOM, THANKS AS WELL FOR
INCLUDING THE 32 A060, BECAUSE
I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF WORK
TO BE DONE STILL TO FURTHER
UNDERSTAND HOW THE CITY USES
THE SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET PROCESS
AS OPPOSED TO STATE AND OTHER
JURISDICTIONS, SO I WILL LOOK
FORWARD TO HAVING MORE
CONVERSATIONS WITH YOU ABOUT
THAT, I APPRECIATE YOU LOOKING
IT UP, THERE.
>> OF COURSE.
SO NOW TO TURN TO COUNCIL BILL
120039, THE 2021 CARRYFORWARD,
THIS IS A BILL THAT REQUESTS AN
APPROPRIATION RATE -- INCREASED
ACROSS ALL FUNDS.
THERE ARE SEVERAL ITEMS,
úNUMEROUS ITEMS IN THE BILL AS
IT DOES AFFECT MULTIPLE
DEPARTMENTS ACROSS THE CITY.
WHAT I HAVE INCLUDED FOR
TODAY'S PRESENTATION IN THE
MEMO ARE SOME HIGHLIGHTS TO
ELEVATE FOR THE COMMITTEE'S
AWARENESS.
THE FIRST SLIDE I HAVE ARE THE
ITEMS THAT REPRESENT
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE
DEPARTMENTS BUDGET.
THEY DON'T NECESSARILY INDICATE
AN ISSUE.
THERE ARE NO ISSUES RAISED BY
CENTRAL STAFF, IT IS JUST
IDENTIFYING THE SIGNIFICANT
ITEMS THAT COULD BE
HIGHLIGHTED.
I WOULD ALSO NOTE THE METAL HAS
AN ATTACHMENT THAT SHOWS A
LARGE TABLE BY DEPARTMENT.
THE INFORMATION I SHOWED IN THE
PRIOR SLIDE FROM THE ADOPTED TO
REVISED BUDGET, AND THAT IT
PLACES THE REQUESTS THAT ARE
BEING MADE THROUGH THE
CARRYFORWARD BILL.
IT SHOWS THE AMOUNT AND THE
PERCENTAGE INCREASE.
THIS IS JUST TO GIVE A SENSE OF
HOW THE BUDGET IS BEING
INCREASED FOR THOSE DEPARTMENTS
AS A RESULT OF THIS BILL.
SO THE FIRST ITEM I WOULD
HIGHLIGHT IS A MILLION-DOLLAR
GENERAL FUND INCREASE FOR THE
OFFICE OF CIVIL RIGHTS, OFFICE
FOR CIVIL RIGHTS, SO THIS IS
ACTUALLY A 14% INCREASE TO THE
REVISED BUDGET.
IT IS PRIMARILY FOR THE
EXECUTION OF A PROJECT GRANT
AWARDS THAT WERE MADE LAST
YEAR, THOUGH HAVE NOT BEEN
EXECUTED.
SO THE OFFICE IS REQUESTING
THAT THESE MONIES BE
REAPPROPRIATED FOR THOSE GRANT
AWARDS TO BE FULLY FUNDED.
THE NEXT ITEM IS $4.2 MILLION
GENERAL FUND INCREASE TO THE
OEM.
THIS IS A SIZABLE INCREASE IN
PERCENTAGE TERMS.
IT'S 152% INCREASE TO THE
BUDGET.
THE REASON FOR THIS PARTICUAR
INCREASE IS THAT THERE WERE A
NUMBER OF NON-LAPSING GRANTS,
SO IT KIND OF GOES BACK TO THE
AUTOMATIC CARRYFORWARD.
THERE ARE NON-LAPSING GRANTS
THAT HAVE BEEN AWARDED TO THE
SEATTLE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
SO THOSE FUNCTIONS HAVE NOW
BEEN ORGANIZED INTO OEM.
HOWEVER, THE NON-LAPSING BUDGET
AUTHORITY -- GIVEN IT IS
OPERATING OFF OF PRIOR COUNCIL
APPROVAL, TECHNICALLY, IT CAN'T
AUTOMATICALLY GO TO OEM.
THIS IS THE EXECUTIVE
SIGNIFYING THAT ALONG WITH
OTHER ORGANIZATION ELEMENTS
THAT THESE GRANTS ALSO SHOULD
SHIFT OVER TO OEMS MANAGEMENT,
AND THAT IS ESSENTIALLY WHAT
THIS INCREASE IS.
THE BILL DOES ABANDON IN THE
POLICE DEPARTMENT, THAT SAME
AMOUNT OF FUNDING.
I WAS TOWARDS THESE GRANTS.
IT PROVIDES A NON-LAPSE IN
PROVISION TO OEM SO THAT THESE
GRANTS WILL CONTINUE IN THE
FUTURE, YOU KNOW, ASSUMING
COUNCIL AUTHORIZATION TO ADD
THEM TO THE BUDGET.
SO THAT'S THAT ITEM.
THE NEXT ITEM IS IN THE OFFICE
OF PLANNING AND COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT.
THIS IS 124% INCREASE, AGAIN,
LARGE INCREASE, THERE IS A
REASON WHY THIS REPRESENTS
LARGELY $26.8 MILLION FOR [
INDISCERNIBLE ] DEVELOPMENT AND
AWARDS FOR CIVILIZATIONS
SIMILAR TO THE MORALES PROJECT
-- THE WORDS HAVE BEEN MADE OR
PENDING, AND THE AUTHORITY
NEEDS TO BE THERE TO FUND THE [
INDISCERNIBLE ] AWARD.
IT IS MATCHING THE AVAILABILITY
TO MONEY WITH THE TIME OF THE
AWARDS.
THEN FINALLY, IT IS A SMALL
DOLLAR AMOUNT, BUT THE 13%
INCREASE IN [ INDISCERNIBLE ]
COMBINED WITH REVENUES TO
CONTINUE THE EVALUATION OF
SUITE AND BEVERAGE TAX.
LAST YEAR, THAT EVALUATION WAS
PAUSED.
THIS CONTINUES THE MONEY SO
THAT EVALUATION COULD CONTINUE
INTO THE YEAR AND THIS YEAR.
THIS NEXT SLIDE, THESE ARE NOT
NECESSARILY NOTABLE ON THE
PERCENTAGE BASIS, THAT THEY ARE
NOTABLE IN TERMS OF DOLLAR
AMOUNTS AND IN TERMS OF COUNCIL
TRANSPARENCY.
ONE IS A REQUEST OF $72 MILLION
TO THE HUMAN SERVICES FUND,
HST, AND THIS IS FOR A
CHILDCARE FACILITY PROJECT --
THEY ARE AWARDED FROM THE
CHILDCARE BONUS FUNDS.
SO THESE AMOUNTS, SIMILAR TO
HIGHLIGHTS ON THE LAST SLIDE, I
THINK, IS THE MINIMUM AWARD,
AND THE BUDGET AUTHORITY NEEDS
TO FOLLOW UP WITH THOSE AWARDS.
NEXT IS THE SEATTLE COMMUNITY
AND SAFETY INITIATIVE.
THIS IS FOR MILLION DOLLARS IN
HST.
THESE ARE ONE-TIME FUNDS FOR
PASSAGEWAYS FOR THE COMMUNITY
SAFETY PROGRAM, SIMILARLY, THE
BUDGET AUTHORITY IS REQUESTED
TO BE AVAILABLE TO [
INDISCERNIBLE ]. THEN FINALLY,
A $2 MILLION INCREASE FROM
CUMULATIVE RESERVE SUB FUND
UNRESTRICTED IN THE FINANCE
GENERAL DEPARTMENT, SO THIS IS
THE CITIES KIND OF HOLDING
PATTERN FOR FUNDS, THIS IS
BASICALLY BUILD OUT OF THE
CORRECTION FACILITY.
THESE AMOUNTS WERE FUNDED IN
2020, HOWEVER, GIVEN THE COVID
CRISIS, THAT HAS NOT TAKEN
PLACE, WE HAVE THOSE MONIES IN
FINANCE GENERAL PENDING THE
ABILITY TO COMPLETE THAT
PROJECT.
I WOULD NOTE THAT THE CITY'S
OPERATING BUDGET DOES INCLUDE
IN FINANCE GENERAL $4000 FOR
PARTIAL YEAR OPERATIONS OF
THESE IMPROVEMENTS THIS YEAR,
ASSUMING THT THAT IS ABLE TO
COMMENCE. SO THOSE ARE NOTABLE
INCREASES.
AGAIN, I WILL PAUSE TO SEE IF
THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT
ANY OF THE OTHER ITEMS OR THE
ITEMS THAT I HAVE MENTIONED.
>> MR. HERBOLD, PLEASE.
>> THANK YOU.
I DO HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE
TRANSFER FROM SPD TO THE OFFICE
OF CONVERGENT MANAGEMENT.
YOU SAID THE REASON FOR THAT
TRANSFER WAS BECAUSE SOME OF
THE ACTIVITIES THAT THE GRANT
FUNDS ARE ACTIVITIES THAT ARE
NOW OCCURRING IN THE OFFICE OF
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT.
IF YOU HAVE THAT INFORMATION,
OR IF YOU COULD DIRECT ME TO
WHERE I MIGHT FIND IT, I JUST
MIGHT LOVE A LITTLE MORE DETAIL
ON WHAT SORT OF ACTIVITIES ARE
NOW BEING IMPLEMENTED BY OEM.
>> THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION,
COUNCILMEMBER.
I DO, INDEED HAVE A LENGTHY
EMAIL THAT WE RECEIVED IN THE
Q&A FROM OPM, AND WE WILL
FORWARD IT TO YOU.
>> PERFECT, ABSOLUTELY.
AND THEN ON THE COMMUNITY
SAFETY INITIATIVE, I WAS UNDER
THE IMPRESSION -- THERE WAS $4
MILLION AND ANOTHER 12 MILLION,
ASSOCIATED WITH CAPACITY
BUILDING GRANTS FOR PROGRAMS
THAT COULD INCLUDE THE SAFETY
INITIATIVE OR MAY INCLUDE OTHER
TYPES OF COMMUNITY SAFETY
PROGRAMS.
I KNOW THE $12 MILLION, THEY
ARE STILL ENGAGED IN THE ARTIST
PAID PROCESS.
I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT
FOR MILLION HAD ALREADY BEEN --
WAS AWARDED AFTER THE SUMMER
SUPPLEMENTAL.
I GUESS THERE WOULDN'T BE A
NEED FOR A CARRYOVER IF THAT
ACTUALLY HAPPENED.
I AM JUST WRONG, THERE.
I WAS THINKING THOSE DOLLARS
WERE AWARDED AT THE END OF
2020.
YOU ARE SAYING THEY ARE STILL
NOT OUT THE DOOR, YET?
>> THAT IS CORRECT,
COUNCILMEMBER.
THE DESCRIPTION OF THIS ITEM IS
ESSENTIALLY THAT.
THE AWARD HAS BEEN GIVEN, IT'S
JUST ENSURING THE MONEY IS
THERE TO COMPLETE ALL THE
FUNDING ALLOTMENTS THAT THE
WORD HAS BEEN GIVEN.
IT IS SIMPLY DOING THAT.
BECAUSE IT IS A NON-LAPSING
AUTHORITY, WE NEED TO CONSIDER
RE-APPROPRIATING IT.
>> OKAY, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> SO I WILL NOW MOVE TO NEXT
STEPS.
THIS IS UPCOMING BUDGET
ADJUSTMENTS.
IT'S KIND OF CONSISTENT WITH MY
PRIOR OVERVIEW.
SO THERE ARE SOME ADDITIONAL
STANDALONE SUPPLEMENTALS THAT
ARE IN THE WORKS, SOME OF WHICH
HAVE BEEN RECENTLY DISCUSSED OR
PREFERENCE IN THE FINANCE --
AND LARGELY CONSIDERING
AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT
ALLOCATIONS, SIGNIFICANTLY,
THERE IS $119 MILLION WHICH IS
THE FIRST TRANCHE OF THE
MONIES, THEN ALSO, A SMALLER
ALLOTMENT WHICH IS THE DIRECT
ALLOCATION OF TARGETED A, HOME
INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP PLANS,
AND THERE MAY BE OTHER TARGETS
THAT ARE UPCOMING -- BUT THOSE
ARE TWO BILLS OF THE STANDALONE
NATURE OF WHICH WE ARE AWARE
THAT WILL BE FORTHCOMING TO
COMMITTEE.
AND THEN ALSO, THE
COMPREHENSIVE SUPPLEMENTALS, SO
THESE ARE THE ONES THAT WILL BE
FAMILIAR TO THE COMMITTEE
MEMBERS.
WE WILL HAVE A SECOND CORE
SUPPLEMENTAL, MORE LIKELY THAN
NOT, WHICH IS NORMALLY
DISCUSSED AND INTRODUCED IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE YEAR.
IT INCLUDES A GRANT ACCEPTANCE.
A LARGE PORTION OF THAT IS TO
APPROPRIATE THE MONIES FOR
THOSE GRANTS.
AND THEN AFTER THAT, DURING THE
SUMMER BUDGET PROCESS FROM
OCTOBER TO NOVEMBER, COUNCIL
WILL RECEIVE A THIRD QUARTER
SUPPLEMENTAL.
THAT IS A PART OF THE
LEGISLATION THAT IS SIMILAR TO
THE SECOND QUARTER THAT IS
ACCOMPANIED BY A GRANT
ACCEPTANCE.
IT IS NORMALLY ADOPTED ALONGSIDE
THE TIMING OF THE BUDGET
ADOPTION AND, WHICH IN THIS
CASE, WILL BE THE 2022 FISCAL
YEAR, AND THEN IN THE PAST, WE
HAVE RECEIVED A FOURTH QUARTER
SUPPLEMENT A BILL WHICH COMES
AFTER THE PROCESS IS COMPLETED
IN NOVEMBER, SO IT'S A THIRD
COMMUNITY IN DECEMBER, AND IT
ALSO ACCOMPANIES AMERICAN
SETTLEMENTS.
NONE OF THESE BILLS ARE
GUARANTEED OR CERTAIN.
IT'S JUST KIND OF A RECAP ON
HOW PAST PROCESSES HAVE WORKED.
THE FOURTH QUARTER PROCESS
RAISES AN ISSUE THAT STAFF HAS
HIGHLIGHTED FOR COMMUNITY
CONSIDERATION.
IT IS REALLY WITH REGARDS TO
THE TIMING OF WHEN THE FOURTH
QUARTER BILL IS RECEIVED.
SINCE THE FOURTH QUARTER BILL
IS RECEIVED IN LATE NOVEMBER
RIGHT AROUND THE TIME WHEN THE
SELECT BUDGET COMMITTEE ON THE
CITY COUNCIL FINALIZING THE
RESOURCE AND DECISIONS FOR NEXT
YEAR, THEN THOSE DECISIONS ARE
MADE, AND THEN THERE IS THE
FOURTH QUARTER BILL THAT'S
INTRODUCED.
THERE'S NOT MUCH OF A
DELIBERATIVE TIMEFRAME FOR THAT
BILL GIVEN THE TIMING OF ITS
INTRODUCTION, PARTICULARLY, IF
THERE IS A REQUEST Q&A.
THERE IS USUALLY LIMITED
COMMUNITY TIME TO HAVE THAT
DISCUSSION.
FURTHERMORE, IT'S A BIT OUT OF
SEQUENCE WITH THE LARGER BUDGET
DISCUSSION THAT IS HAPPENING IN
THE FALL.
DECISIONS ARE BEING MADE IN THE
OCTOBER/NOVEMBER TIMEFRAME,
THAT ASSUMES SOME LEVEL OF
RESOURCES ARE AVAILABLE TO BE
SPENT, WHICH ASSUMES SOME
KNOWLEDGE OF HOW THE CURRENT
FISCAL YEAR IS GOING TO BE
COMPLETED, AND THEN THOSE
DECISIONS ARE MADE, AND THEN A
FOURTH QUARTER BILL COMES INTO
PLAY, AND IT JUST SEEMS OUT OF
SEQUENCE, PERHAPS, THAT THE
RESOURCE DECISIONS THAT ARE
BEING MADE DURING THE BUDGET
PROCESSES ARE NOT COMPLETE.
AND THIRD, AND THIS IS A
SMALLER ISSUE, THAT THERE IS
SOME ELEMENT OF POTENTIAL
EFFICIENCY WITH THE POSSIBILITY
THAT SOME OF THE GRANT
DECISIONS THAT ARE BEING MADE
IN THE FOURTH QUARTER ARE
UNSPENT AND GO INTO THE NEXT
YEARS AUTOMATIC CARRYFORWARD,
THEN AT TIMES, SOME THAT WERE
REQUESTED IN THE FOURTH QUARTER
POSSIBLY SHOW UP FOR FOR THE
REQUEST IN THE FUTURE.
AGAIN, NOT TOO LIKELY, JUST
RAISING THAT AS A POSSIBILITY.
SO THE OPTION -- THE ISSUE IS,
GIVEN THE CRAMPED TIMEFRAME AND
THE WEDGE BETWEEN THE END OF
THE FISCAL YEAR AND THE FULL
BUDGET ADOPT OPTION DISCUSSION,
IT RAISES AN ISSUE FOR THE
COMMUNITY'S CONSIDERATION.
THERE IS A THIRD QUARTER
SUPPLEMENTAL THAT IS
TRADITIONALLY INTRODUCED AND
DISCUSSED ALONGSIDE THE LARGER
BUDGET DISCUSSIONS THAT ARE
BEING MADE FOR NEXT YEAR, ONE
OPTION COULD BE TO DIRECT THE
EXECUTIVE TO MARSHAL ALL THOSE
DECISIONS TO PUT THEM INTO THE
THIRD QUARTER SUPPLEMENTAL
INSTEAD.
THIS OPTION IS NOT NECESSARILY
A LIGHT OPTION.
WOULD IT MEAN, LIKELY, IS THAT
THE SIZE AND THE SCOPE WOULD BE
LARGER.
DEPARTMENTS WOULD BE REQUIRED
TO BE CONSIDERATE FOR PLANNING
ASSUMPTIONS, TRY TO AVOID THOSE
ITEMS THAT WOULD NORMALLY GO
INTO A CORE SUPPLEMENTAL BILL,
THEN FINALLY, THE SIZE AND THE
SCOPE OF THE EXCEPTIONS OF THE
CASES WHERE THE EXECUTIVE HAS
OVERSPENT BUDGET ALLOCATIONS,
THE SIZE AND THE SCOPE FOR
THESE EXCEPTIONS COULD BE
LARGER [ INDISCERNIBLE ] THIS
IS WHERE THEY WERE NOT
SUFFICIENT TO COVER ALL KNOWN
VARIANCES AT THE TIME.
SO THAT IS KIND OF THE OFFSET
OF THE OPTION.
ANOTHER PTION IS NO ACTION.
OF COURSE, ONE SUPPLEMENT HER
HUSBAND IS A PORTION OF THE
PROCESS.
THAT IS A CONSIDERATION FOR
COMMITTEE.
>> TOM, I APPRECIATE YOU
OUTLINING THAT IN THE
PRESENTATION AND ALSO IN THE
MEMO YOU PROVIDED.
I THINK IT IS PROBABLY NO
SURPRISE TO THIS COMMITTEE AND
OTHER COLLEAGUES HERE, AND I
HAVE HAD DIRECT CONVERSATIONS
WITH THE BUDGET OFFICE AND THE
DIRECTOR ABOUT THE PUBLICATIONS
THAT ARRIVE WITH RECEIVING THE
FOURTH QUARTER SUPPLEMENTAL A
WEEK AND A HALF AFTER WE JUST
PASS THE FINAL BUDGET FOR THE
YEAR.
-- NOT TO MENTION THE SHEER
AMOUNT OF WORK THAT WOULD BE
REQUIRED OF CENTRAL STAFF OUT
OF COUNCIL MEMBERS TO GIVE IT
APPROPRIATE DELIBERATIONS AS
TOM OUTLINED IN NUMBER ONE.
BUT THE EFFICACY OF US HAVING
TO GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS JUST
WEEKS AFTER HAVING COMPLETING
THE BUDGET PROCESS DOESN'T MAKE
A TON OF SENSE.
SO I KNOW THE DIRECTOR HAS
HEARD ME LOUD AND CLEAR, HE
SAID I KNOW THEY ARE BEGINNING
SOME OFFICIAL PLANNING OR
LOOKING INTO HOW THEY COULD
MITIGATE THE NEED FOR A FOURTH
QUARTER WHICH I REALLY
APPRECIATE, AND I THINK WE WILL
DEFINITELY BE COMING BACK TO
THIS LIST OF OPTIONS HERE AS WE
ENDEAVOR TO MAKE IT A MORE
EFFICIENT SYSTEM ESPECIALLY AS
THE YEAR-END WRAPS UP.
SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE FOLKS
KNOW EXCLUSIVELY WHAT MY
PREFERENCE IS ON THAT QUESTION
THAT HAS BEEN OUTLINED IN THE
MEMO AND IN THE PRESENTATION.
TOM, I ALSO HAVE A QUESTION FOR
YOU ON JUST GENERAL
SUPPLEMENTAL.
I APPRECIATE THE OUTLINE YOU
PROVIDED IN THE MEMO FOR US AND
THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE
SUPPLEMENTAL BILLS THAT CAN ACT
AS A STANDALONE, THE ANNUAL
CARRYFORWARD LEGISLATION AND
THE QUARTER SUPPLEMENTALS, I
GUESS ONE OF THE THINGS I WANT
TO EXPLORE WITH YOU AS WELL IS
WHETHER OR NOT IT MAKES SENSE
TO HAVE AN ANNUAL SUPPLEMENTAL
AS WELL AS A QUARTERLY
SUPPLEMENTAL, AND IF THERE WAS
A POSSIBILITY OF A COMBINATION
THAT LOOKS AT CARRYFORWARD
LEGISLATION COMBINED WITH A
SECOND QUARTER SUPPLEMENTAL TO
MAKE IT ONE SUPPLEMENTAL BILL,
AND IDEALLY, MOVING TOWARDS AN
ANNUAL BUDGET PROCESS IS MY
ANNUAL IF WE CAN ACCOMPLISH
THAT.
DO YOU HAVE ANY THOUGHTS ABOUT
THE CONCEPT OF MARRYING, MORE
EXPLICITLY, CARRYING FORWARD
LEGISLATION WITH A SECOND
QUARTER SUPPLEMENTAL INSTEAD OF
QUARTERLY SUPPLEMENTALS?
>> THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR, FROM
PAST EXPERIENCE, I HAVE SEEN
WHERE THERE HAVE BEEN TWO
SUPPLEMENTALS.
SO SIMILAR TO THE OPTION
DESCRIBED WHERE THERE HAVE BEEN
BUSTED OF JUDGMENTS AND THEN
BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS FOR
COMPANIES TO FINAL BUDGET
DELIBERATIONS THAT COUNCIL ,
THE CARRYFORWARD SUPPLEMENTAL
APPROPRIATION IS DISTINCT AND
UNIQUE BECAUSE IT IS LOOKING
FOR AUTHORITY TO CONTINUE SOME
WORK THAT WAS PROVIDED -- OR
THAT WAS KIND OF STARTED OR
APPROVED FOR A PRIOR YEAR.
SO THERE MAY BE SOME DESIRE --
YOU KNOW, I'M TRYING TO CHANNEL
WITH THE EXECUTIVE MIGHT SAY,
FRANKLY.
THERE MIGHT BE DESIRE TO HAVE
SOME WORK GUARANTEE THAT AT
LEAST THOSE ITEMS THAT ARE
CARRIED FORWARD FROM THE PRIOR
YEAR WOULD HAVE SOME FUNDING SO
THAT WORKS THAT PERHAPS HAD
BEEN STARTED PRIOR COULD
CONTINUE, AND AGAIN, THAT WOULD
BE AN EXERCISE OF TRYING TO
EITHER PUSH THE SUPPLEMENTAL
PROCESS EARLIER TO MATCH UP
WITH THE CARRYFORWARD, OR FIND
SOME MIDDLE GROUND THAT WORKS.
AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER
TO THAT QUESTION, OR WHETHER OR
NOT IT TRULY IS A CONCERN, I'M
JUST RAISING IT AS A POSSIBLE
ITEM.
FUNCTIONALLY, THEY DO THE SAME
THING.
THEY PROVIDE A BUNCH OF
AUTHORITY.
IT'S THAT UNIQUE CHARACTERISTIC
THAT WE CARRYFORWARD, AND WHAT
THE EXECUTIVES COMMUNICATING
WITH THE REQUEST -- IT WOULD
NEED ADDITIONAL SCRUTINY AND
PERHAPS COMMUNICATION TO ENSURE
THAT IT DOESN'T HOLD ANY
OPERATIONAL ISSUES.
>> EXCELLENT.
THANK YOU.
WE WILL ADD THIS TO THE ONGOING
LIST OF WAYS WE CAN IMPROVE
THIS OFFICE -- PROCESS, BOTH
FOR ACCURACY AND EFFICIENCY.
>> THANK YOU.
I DO HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT A
VERY SMALL ELEMENT OF THE
CARRYFORWARD.
AND THAT IS, SPECIFICALLY,
THERE ARE $20,000 IN THE FULL
AMOUNT, BUT IT'S $20,000 FOR
THE BENNETT MIDLAND STUDY ON
LEAD.
THE REPORT WAS EXPECTED IN 2020
. MY OFFICE HAS INQUIRED A
NUMBER TIMES ABOUT ITS STATUS.
THE REPORT WAS COMPLETED AS TO
ITS ORIGINAL SCOPE, AND THEY
SUBMITTED THAT REPORT AS THE
PANDEMIC STARTED LAST YEAR, AND
THE REPORT REMAINS IN THE
MAYOR'S OFFICE.
AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE
CONSIDERATIONS OF, PERHAPS, AN
EXPANDED SCOPE GIVEN THE CHANGE
IN LEADS OPERATIONS DUE TO THE
PANDEMIC I HAVE ANOTHER INQUIRY
INTO THE MAYORS OFFICE TO CHECK
ON THAT ASSUMPTION AND ASK FOR
THE ABILITY TO REVIEW THE
REPORT.
I AM JUST HOPING THAT THE
CARRYFORWARD ITEM, AS I
UNDERSTAND IT, IN ESSENCE,
AUTHORIZING OR FUNDING THE
EXPAND OF SCOPE OF THE BENNETT
MIDLAND REPORT, I'M HOPING BY
APPROVING THE CARRYFORWARD, WE
ARE NOT SORT OF INCENTIVIZING
THE DELAY OF RECEIVING THE
ORIGINAL COMPLETED NARROWER
SCOPE ORIGINALLY PLANNED REPORT
THAT WE HAD BEEN SEEKING
RECEIPT OF SENSE, I THINK, BACK
IN OCTOBER.
THE REPORT CARES LEADS
OPERATIONS PRE-PANDEMIC
OPERATIONS, AND IS REALLY
CRITICAL TO ADD VALUE TO OUR
ONGOING CONVERSATION AROUND
REBUILDING COMMUNITY SAFETY AND
AVOIDING THE TRAUMAS OF
CRIMINAL LEGAL SYSTEM
INVOLVEMENT.
>> COUNCILMEMBER HERBOLD, I'M
NOT AWARE THAT THE MONEY WOULD
PRECLUDE THEM FROM RELEASING
THE UNSKILLED UP REPORT.
THE CARRYFORWARD BILL IS REALLY
NOT THE MECHANISM TO KIND OF
COMMUNICATE THAT LEVEL OF
INTENT.
WE CAN FOLLOW UP WITH THE
EXECUTIVE AND LEARN MORE.
>> YEAH, I'M NOT SUGGESTING
THAT APPROVING IT WOULD PRECLUDE
THE SHARING OF THE ORIGINAL
SCOPE REPORT.
I'M SUGGESTING WE MIGHT BE
INCENTIVIZING THE CONTINUED
RELUCTANCE TO SHARE THAT REPORT
WITH US.
WE ARE, IN ESSENCE, PROVIDING
THE FUNDING FOR THE EXPANDED
SCOPE FOR THE REPORT, AND I'M
JUST WONDERING -- THAT MIGHT BE
INADVERTENTLY CREATING AN
INCENTIVE TO ALLOW THEM TO
CONTINUE TO SAY, NO, WE ARE NOT
GOING TO GIVE YOU THAT ORIGINAL
REPORT BECAUSE WE ARE DESIRING
TO DO THE EXPANDED SCOPE
REPORT.
I WANT TO AVOID THAT.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER HERBOLD, I'M
SORRY TO CUT YOU OFF, TOM.
I HAVE A SUGGESTION.
I APPRECIATE YOU FLOGGING THAT.
I WASN'T AWARE OF THAT.
I CAN UNDERSTAND HOW IT IS A
LOT OF CHARACTER AND NO STICK.
I'M WONDERING IF BETWEEN NOW
AND WHEN IT GETS VOTED ON
MONDAY, IF THERE'S ANY
INDICATION THAT THERE IS NOT
GOING TO BE SHARING INFORMATION
OR THE FOLLOW-UP YOU HAVE
REQUESTED.
I'M WONDERING IF THERE IS A
DESIRE FOR A PROVISO ON THIS OR
LIMITATION.
I WOULD BE HAPPY TO DO THAT,
TOO.
>> THANK YOU.
I WOULD EXPLORE THAT.
UNFORTUNATELY, THE TITLE OF THE
LEGISLATION DOES NOT ALLOW FOR
A PROVISO.
>> SO IT COULD BE A STRIKING OF
THAT AMOUNT?
>> THAT, I THINK, IS AN OPTION
THAT IS WORTH CONSIDERING.
>> SO LET'S STAY IN TOUCH ON
THAT.
I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT YOU GET
ANSWERS TO THOSE QUESTIONS, AND
I ALSO WANT TO ASSUME BEST
INTENTIONS THAT IT WILL BE
SHARED, BUT WE ALSO DON'T WANT
TO BE REWARDING OR A WARDING
ADDITIONAL FUNDS IF THERE ARE
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS THAT ARE
LINGERING AND NOT ANSWERED.
SO HAPPY TO WORK WITH YOU ON
THAT AS WELL, HOPEFULLY, THIS
SERVES AS A VISIBLE SIGNAL THAT
WE ARE INTERESTED IN THOSE
ANSWERS ASAP.
OKAY.
ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS OR
QUESTIONS?
TOM, DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE
ON THE QUESTION ON THE LAST
LINE, THERE?
>> NO, I HAVE NOTHING
ADDITIONAL.
CENTRAL STAFF CAN WORK ON
AMENDMENTS AS NEEDED.
>> I LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING
ANSWERS THAT SATISFY THE
COUNCILMEMBERS INITIAL
REQUESTS.
I'M NOT SEEING ANY ADDITIONAL
HANDS.
TOM, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR
YOUR PRESENTATION.
THE MEMO, I KNOW, WE WILL SEE
YOU AGAIN SHORTLY.
AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR ONGOING
WORK AS WELL.
ANYTHING ELSE FOR THE GOOD OF
THE ORDER ON THIS SIDE?
SEE NO MAJOR CONCERNS, I WILL
BELIEVE WE CAN GO AHEAD AND
ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO MOVE THIS
OUT OF COMMITTEE ENDING FUTURE
CONVERSATIONS THAT
COUNCILMEMBER HERBERT WILL BE
HAVING AND CIRCLING BACK TO US
BEFORE FINAL VOTE IN COUNCIL.
-- FULL COUNCIL?
OKAY, WONDERFUL.
I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE THE
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS PASSAGE OF
BILL 120039.
IS THERE A SECOND?
>> SECOND.
>> THANK YOU.
IT'S BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED.
ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL
COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS?
OKAY, HEARING NONE, ARE THERE
ANY AMENDMENTS?
WITH THE CLERK PLEASE CALL THE
ROLL ON THE FINAL PASSAGE OF
BILL 120039?
>> CHAIR MOSQUEDA?
VICE-CHAIR HERBOLD?
COUNCILMEMBER LEWIS?
COUNCILMEMBER MORALES?
MADAM CHAIR, THAT IS FOUR IN
FAVOR, NOT OPPOSED.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MADAM
CLERK.
I WILL NOTE THAT THE MOTION HAS
CARRIED.
THE RECOMMENDATION WILL BE SENT
TO THE 10th COUNCIL MEETING FOR
A FINAL VOTE.
THAT DOES BRING US TO THE END
OF OUR AGENDA, TODAY.
I DID GET A NOTE FROM COUNCIL
MEMBER STRAUSS THAT HE WOULD BE
JOINING AT 3:00 P.M., BUT IF WE
WRAP UP IN THE NEXT MINUTE, WE
WILL JUST MISS HIM.
THANK YOU FOR ATTEMPTING TO
JOIN, COUNCIL MEMBER STRAUSS.
IF THERE IS NOTHING ELSE FOR
THE GOOD OF THE ORDER -- I'M
NOT SEEING ANY HANDS, THE NEXT
MEETING WILL BE ON MAY 18th.
THE DRAFT AGENDA INCLUDES THE
AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT DIRECT
AID DRAFT BILL, THE
TRANSPARENCY REQUIREMENTS FOR
CONTRACT WORKERS CONTINUATION
OF THAT DISCUSSION, DOMESTIC
WORKER SENATE BOARD
RECOMMENDATIONS, AND THE MLB
FOR THE SENIOR CENTER.
THAT IS WHAT OUR CURRENT AGENDA
HAS.
WE ARE STILL WORKING ON THE
TRANSLATION AND INTERPRETATION
SERVICES THAT WE HAD MENTIONED
AT THE LAST.
I'M REALLY HOPING WE CAN WORK
OUT SIMULTANEOUS INTERPRETATION
FOR THOSE WORKERS -- I'M NOT
SEEING ANY ADDITIONAL ITEMS ARE
ADDITIONAL HANDS, SO I WILL
THINK FOLKS FROM THE SEATTLE
CHANNEL, ARE CLERK, AND THE
CLERK'S OFFICE, AGAIN, AMELIA
AND ELIZABETH FOR ALWAYS BEING
ON THE LINE WITH US, THANK YOU
ALL.
I HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT REST OF
YOUR AFTERNOON.
THANKS FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION
IN THE BACK TO BACK MEETINGS
FOR THE PLANNING AND FINANCE
COMMITTEE.
SEE YOU ON MONDAY.
>> THANK YOU.
