WILL DISCUSS AND VOTE ON THE
CONSTABLE 120850, THE APP
BASED WORKER DEACTIVATION RIGHT
ORDINANCE. THE BILL HAS BEEN
THREE COMMITTEE MEETINGS IN
PLATFORM, NOT INCLUDING
PRE-INTRODUCTORY DISCUSSION. AN
I'M HAPPY TO BRING FORWARD THI
BILL TOMORROW WITH THE SUPPORT
OF COUNCILMEMBER LEWIS. WE
WILL ALSO BRING FORWARD TWO
MINUTES OF THE BILL, AMENDMENT
LETTER A IS A TECHNICAL
AMENDMENT CLARIFYING THE OFFIC
OF LABOR STANDARDS ROLE AND
ENFORCEMENT. WE WERE READY TO
VOTE ON THIS AMENDMENT AT LAST
COMMITTEE MEETING, BUT
STAKEHOLDERS ASKED FOR
ADDITIONAL TIME . I BELIEVE
AMENDMENT A IS SUBSTANTIALLY I
THE SAME FORMAT WE SAW LAST AND
COMMITTEE. AMENDMENT B IS A NE
AMENDMENT THAT RAISES THE
THRESHOLD FOR COVERAGE PER
REQUEST WE HEARD FROM THE
MAYOR'S OFFICE, COMMITTEE
MEMBERS, NETWORK COMPANIES. AND
ACTUALLY WORKERS ADVOCATES. SOM
OF THE WAYS WE HAVE LOOKED AT T
RAISE THE THRESHOLD FOR WHO GET
COVERED BY THIS NEW LAW, THERE
IS ACTUALLY AN APPROACH WE HAV
LANDED ON THAT DOESN'T SACRIFIC
WORKER PROTECTIONS. AND IN
SOME WAYS ACTUALLY ENHANCES
THAT. SO I AM REALLY PLEASED
THAT THE WORKER ADVOCATES WORKE
SIDE-BY-SIDE WITH THE NETWORK
COMPANIES IN MAKING THIS
APPROACH TOWARDS A HIGHER
THRESHOLD FOR ADHERENCE TO TH
PROTECTIONS. I UNDERSTAND THE
COUNCILS TO HANDLE AMENDMENT IN
COMMITTEE, WE HAD VOTED DOWN AN
EARLIER VERSION OF THIS A VERY
AMENDMENT. AND, WE JUST WEREN'
ABLE TO COME UP TO AN AGREEMENT
THAT WORKED FOR ALL
STAKEHOLDERS IN COUNCIL MEMBERS
IN TIME FOR THE LAST COMMITTEE
MEETING. AGAIN, I AM VERY
APPRECIATIVE OF THE COMPROMISE
WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REACH.
THAT CAME AFTER THE BILL WAS
MOVED OUT OF COMMITTEE. I WILL
SPEAK MORE TO THE CONTENT OF
THESE AMENDMENTS AT THE COUNCI
MEETING TOMORROW. IF YOU HAVE
ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE, BY ALL
MEANS, CONTACT MY OFFICE OR
CENTRAL STAFF BEFORE THE MEETIN
TOMORROW. WE ALSO HAVE A
COMMITTEE MEETING TOMORROW
MORNING. THE PUBLIC SAFETY AND
HUMAN SERVICES COMMITTEE IS
MEETING AT 9:30 AM. ITEMS ON
THE AGENDA ARE AS FOLLOWS,
APPOINTMENT OF JOSH SATTLER A
ADMINISTRATOR. A BRIEFING ON
THE ONE-YEAR REPORT FROM THE
988 SUICIDE AND CRISIS LIFELINE
WE ARE ALSO GOING TO BE HEARIN
A BRIEFING FROM KING COUNTY AN
THE HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT
ON THE SEATTLE TRINITY SAFETY
INITIATIVE AND THE REGIONAL
APPROACH TO ADDRESSING GUN
VIOLENCE . AND THEN LASTLY, WE
ARE GOING TO BE HEARING FROM
LEAD AND CO--LEAD, THERE
METRICS REPORT. THOSE OF THE
FOUR ITEMS ON TOMORROW'S
COMMITTEE AGENDA. WE ALSO HAVE
A SPECIAL MEETING AT 5:00
TOMORROW. SORRY, 5:30 PM. IT
IS PUBLIC SAFETY AND SELECT
LABOR COMMITTEE MEETING. IT IS
AT 5:30 PM. IT IS A PUBLIC
HEARING. SUBJECT TO PUBLIC
HEARING IS BARGAINING WITH THE
SEATTLE MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION
IMPORTANT POINT IN THE LABOR
NEGOTIATIONS , SORT OF KICKING
OFF THOSE NEGOTIATIONS WITH AN
OPPORTUNITY FROM THE PUBLIC T
GIVE INPUT BEFORE CONTRACT
NEGOTIATIONS BEGIN. THE MOST
RECENT CONTRACT IN 2022
INCLUDED SEVERAL RECOMMENDATION
RECEIVED DURING ITS PUBLIC
HEARING IN 2019. INCLUDING,
IMPROVEMENTS TO DISCIPLINE
REVIEW, [ INDISCERNIBLE ]
PREPONDERANCE OF EVIDENCE, 180
DAY CLOCK IN ARBITRATION. THAT
IS REALLY WHY THESE PUBLIC
HEARINGS PRIOR TO THE BEGINNING
OF CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS, AGAI
THE ONLY TIME WE CAN HAVE A
PUBLIC HEARING THAT WILL
ACTUALLY IMPACT THOSE
NEGOTIATIONS, I THINK IT'S AN
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE OF WHY
THOSE HEARINGS ARE SO IMPORTANT
AND HOW INPUT FROM THE PUBLIC
CAN RESULT IN REAL
ACCOUNTABILITY FORM. MOVING
DOWN. ON THE PUBLIC SAFETY AND
HUMAN SERVICES COMMITTEE WE HAV
SCHEDULED AN ADDITIONAL MEETIN
NEXT WEEK ON MONDAY THE 14th A
2:00. THE INTENT OF THE
MEETING IS TO HEAR A PANEL
PRESENTATION FROM FOLKS WERE
WORKING IN VARIOUS AREAS OF
OUR DRUG USE DIVERSIONARY
FRAMEWORK. BUT, WE ALSO SCHEDUL
THIS MEETING SPECIFICALLY TO
HEAR THE MAYOR'S PROPOSED PUBLI
USE AND POSSESSION BILL. THE
BILL IS NOT LISTED ON THE IRC
AT THIS POINT. MY UNDERSTANDING
IS THAT IT HAS BEEN THE REQUES
OF THE EXECUTIVE AS WELL AS MY
OFFICE, SO THE COMMITTEE HAS
NOT YET RECEIVED THE BILL . AND
HOPEFULLY WE WILL GET THAT
RESOLVED BEFORE THE IRC IS
VOTED ON TOMORROW AT FULL
COUNCIL. I JUST WANTED TO
MENTION IT IN CASE ANY OF YOU
ARE LOOKING AT THE IRC AND
WONDERING WHY IT IS NOT THERE.
IT'S STILL SOMETHING WE ARE
TRYING TO WORK OUT WITH THE
COUNCIL PRESIDENT'S OFFICE AND
THERE IS SOME COMPLEXITY THERE
WITH THE COUNCIL PRESIDENT BEIN
OUT TODAY. AM CONFIDENT WE ARE
GOING TO GET IT SETTLED. ON THE
PUBLIC SAFETY FRONT, I JUST
WANT TO UPLIFT THE FACT THAT
WE ALL, I THINK, WANT TO TAKE
EVERY OPPORTUNITY WE HAVE TO
THANK THE SOUTHEAST NETWORK
SAFETY NET PROGRAM . A PROGRAM
THAT HAS BEEN LEADING COMMUNITY
HEALING , SPACE ACTIVATION
EVENTS AND RAINIER BEACH WEEK
AFTER WEEK . THIS GROUP IS
BUILDING COMMUNITY IN RAINIER
BEACH , HOLDING SPACE FOR
HEALING AND DIFFICULT
CONVERSATIONS. PRIORITIZING TH
YOUTH OF OUR COMMUNITY AND
SAVING LIVES. THEIR ACTIVITIES
WERE TERRIBLY SHAKEN BY
ANOTHER SENSE OF -- ANOTHER
SENSELESS ACT OF GUN VIOLENCE O
JULY 28. THIS SHOOTING HAPPENE
AT THE PLACE OF THE SOUTHEAST
NETWORK SAFETY NET EVENT . AN
EVENT, AGAIN, BEING HELD TO
PREVENT GUN VIOLENCE AND SUPPOR
HUMIDITY MEMBERS IN HEALING FRO
GUN VIOLENCE. I'M VERY GRATEFUL
THAT THERE WERE NO FATALITIES.
AM HEARTBROKEN THAT PEOPLE DID
SUFFER GUN INJURIES . AMBERLEY
HEARTBROKEN THE PEOPLE ARE
HAVING TO DEAL WITH ADDITIONAL
TRAUMA ASSOCIATED WITH
SENSELESS EVENTS. BUT I WANT
TO SAY HOW GRATEFUL I AM FOR
THE WORK THAT SO MANY PEOPLE AR
DOING IN EVENTS LIKE THIS.
MOVING ON TO ISSUES RELATED TO
THE OFFICE OF EMERGENCY
MANAGEMENT, YOU MAY HAVE HEARD
THAT THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE IS WARNING US THAT WE
ARE HEADED INTO ANOTHER HEAT
ZONE THIS WEEKEND . ENCOURAGING
RESIDENTS TO REVIEW THE OFFIC
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT'S SITE
INFORMATION ABOUT EXTREME HEAT
EVENTS INCLUDING THE LOCATION O
COOLING CENTERS AND THE WARNIN
SIGNS OF HEATSTROKE. MOVING ON
TO PUBLIC HEALTH, I WANT TO LET
FOLKS KNOW THAT THE STATE'S
OFFICE OF SAFETY VIOLENCE
PREVENTION IS ACCEPTING
APPLICATIONS FOR TWO PROGRAMS.
ONE IS A PROGRAM FOR FIREARM
VIOLENCE INTERVENTION THAT OUR
COMMUNITY LED. THAT IS FUNDIN
AVAILABLE. THE OTHER IS TRINITY
LED FIREARM PREVENTION PLANNING
INCLUDING COMMUNITY
STAKEHOLDERS AND LEVERAGING
COMMUNITY INNOVATION , A $1
MILLION FUND. YOU CAN LEARN MOR
ABOUT THESE FUNDINGS AVAILABLE
AT COMMERCE@LAW.GOV. ON THE
HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT SIDE
OF THINGS, WE KNOW PEOPLE ARE
AWARE OF THE KING COUNTY
SUPERIOR COURT RULING. WE
TALKED ABOUT IT VERY BRIEFLY IN
COUNCILMEMBER LEWIS'S COMMITTE
LAST WEEK. IN PART THE RULES
UNDERLYING THE CITY OF SEATTLE
REMOVAL POLICY , THE RULING
DETERMINED THAT THESE CAN BE
UNCONSTITUTIONAL INVASIONS OF
UNHOUSED RESIDENTS PRIVACY
RIGHTS WITHOUT NOTICE. WITHOUT
PROVIDING ALTERNATE SHELTER
GIVING FOLKS AN OPPORTUNITY TO
PROTECT PROPERTY . I DID REACH
OUT BECAUSE I WAS INTERESTED TO
KNOW WHETHER OR NOT , INTERESTE
TO KNOW FROM THE EXECUTIVE,
ABOUT THEIR POSITION ON THE
RULING AS WELL AS WHETHER OR
NOT THE CITY MAY NEED TO ADJUST
[ INDISCERNIBLE ]. MANY OF US
LEARNED ON THURSDAY THAT THE
CITY ATTORNEY HAD FILED A MOTIO
TO STAY THE ORDER. AND WE
LEARNED THIS MORNING THAT [
INDISCERNIBLE ] ISSUED A RULING
SAYING THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE
ORDER. WHAT THAT SAYS TO ME IS
THERE IS NOT A NEED TO MAKE ANY
ADJUSTMENTS TO THE CURRENT
POLICIES. I STILL THINK IT IS
IMPORTANT FOR THIS COUNCIL TO
HAVE THE BENEFIT OF THE CITY
ATTORNEY'S BRIEFING ON THE
ORDINANCE AND -- I AM SORRY,
NOT THE ORDINANCE, ON THE
RULING ITSELF. I UNDERSTAND WE
WON'T HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY UNTIL
SEPTEMBER WHEN WE GATHER AGAIN
BUT, I JUST WANTED FOLKS TO
KNOW I AM IN CONVERSATION WITH
THE COUNCILS COUNCEL . IN
PREPARATION FOR A SUBSEQUENT
SESSION IN SEPTEMBER. AGAIN, W
ALL INDIVIDUALLY CAN MAKE
INQUIRIES THAT ARE PRIVILEGED
OF THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE

COMMUNITY CONNECTORS FROM ALL
SORTS OF THINGS FROM RENTAL
ASSISTANCE TO JOB TRAINING AND
BENEFITS. THE FOOD BANK AT
RAINIER VALLEY IS PLANNING
SIGNIFICANT EXPANSION TO BETTE
SERVE THE COMMUNITY, NOT JUST
WITH FOOD BUT ALL KINDS OF
RESOURCES TO HELP FOLKS IN NEED
OF FOOD , AND WAS REALLY EXCITE
TO LEARN ABOUT THEIR CAPITAL
PROJECT AND EXPANSION PLANS AND
I KNOW THEY WILL BE TALKING, I
THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY, TALKING T
MANY OF YOU ABOUT THOSE EFFORTS
ON WEDNESDAY OF THIS WEEK, --
I'M SORRY, PARKS SUPERINTENDENT

COMMITTEE UPDATES. TOMORROW I
COUNCIL PRESIDENT PRO TEM
ALLUDED TO, THE COUNCIL WILL
CONSIDER TWO BILLS THE PASSED
UNANIMOUSLY , THE FIRST 120619
REPEALS THE FEE ON AMUSEMENT
DEVICES SUCH AS PINBALL
MACHINES, POOL TABLES AND OTHER
GAMES. THIS FEE BRINGS IN
REVENUE BUT IS CUMBERSOME TO
SMALL BUSINESSES TRYING TO
RECOVER FROM THE PANDEMIC AND
DOES NOT HAVE INDISCERNIBLE
POLICY PURPOSE IN OUR CURRENT
ECONOMY. I LOOK FOR TO TALKING
ABOUT THAT TOMORROW AND HAPPY T
ANSWER QUESTIONS. I APPRECIATE
THE UNANIMOUS RECOMMENDATION
FROM THE COMMITTEE. SECOND IS
120626 WHICH EXECUTES AN
AMENDMENT TO THE OPERATIONS AND
MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT OF THE
SEATTLE AQUARIUM IN ORDER TO
COMPLETE THE PROJECT ON
SEATTLE'S WATERFRONT. OUR NEW
WATERFRONT WILL BE COMPLETED AN
READY FOR PUBLIC USE NEXT SUMME
AND IT WILL BE A KEY FEATURE I
THIS REMADE TRINITY SPACE. IT I
AN ESSENTIAL PROJECT FOR THE
CONNECTION OF THE OVERLOOK
WALK, ONE OF THE CONSTRUCTION
PIECES STITCHING TOGETHER THE
PIKE PLACE MARKET TO THE REST O
THE WATERFRONT . LOOKING FOR TO
THE CONVERSATION TOMORROW , I
APPRECIATE THE DELIBERATIONS O
COLLEAGUES IN COMMITTEE, WE DID
HAVE TWO RATHER ROBUST SESSIONS
ON THIS AGREEMENT JUST TO MAKE
SURE IT WAS PROPERLY VETTED AND
I APPRECIATE THAT IT WAS VETTED
TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE
RECOMMENDATION FROM THE
COMMITTEE. THANK YOU SO MUCH TO
THE EXECUTIVES FOR THEIR WORK I
VETTING THIS INTO THE AQUARIUM
TEAM FOR THEIR DUE DILIGENCE.
FINALLY, OUR COMMITTEE WILL ALS
, WE HAD OUR FIRST HEARING ON A
RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF
GETTING OUR PLANNING EFFORTS
TOGETHER IN EARNEST TO START
THINKING VERY SERIOUSLY ABOUT
EXPANDING OUR LID ZONE ON I-5
AND THE DOWNTOWN CORRIDOR AND
BEYOND. MY OFFICE, ALONG WITH
CENTRAL STAFF HAD A GREAT
MEETING WITH THE WASHINGTON
STATE DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION THIS MORNING TO
RECEIVE ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK ON
THE RESOLUTION AND LEARN MORE
ABOUT HOW TO INTEGRATE THE CITY
OF SEATTLE'S LONG-TERM PLANNING
IN LAND-USE AND TRANSPORTATION
TO ORDINATE WITH THE
DEPARTMENT'S PLANS FIRST I FIV
ALONG THE CORRIDOR THE GOES TO
SEATTLE AND HOW LIVING
STRUCTURES COULD BE INCORPORATE
AS PART OF A CONFERENCE OF
INFRASTRUCTURE APPROACH TO THE
CYCLE FIVE CORRIDOR RATHER THAN
TWO SEPARATE ACTIONS AROUND
MAINTAINING THE EXISTING
STRUCTURE. IT'S OUR HOPE THAT
THIS RESOLUTION, WHICH WE'RE
HOPING TO PASS IN SEPTEMBER ON
OUR RETURN FROM RECESS WILL KIC
OFF A NEW EFFORT TO
INCORPORATE CONSIDERATIONS
AROUND EXPANDING IN THE
CONFERENCE OF PLAN AND FURTHER
INTEGRATE OUR PLANNING EFFORTS
WITH ALL OF THESE THINGS THAT
WSDOT IS DOING ON I-5. AND
REALLY MAKING SURE THERE IS NOT
REDUNDANCY . THIS IS REALLY
EXCITING WORK. OBVIOUSLY TO
REMIND THE PUBLIC AND
COLLEAGUES, I WORK ON THE
WATERFRONT STARTED IN EARNEST
WITH A COUPLE OF COUNCIL
RESOLUTIONS SETTING UP THE
ISSUE EXPLORATION AND
PARTNERSHIPS IT WOULD BE
NECESSARY TO BRING THOSE BIG
PROJECTS TO FRUITION. THE
POTENTIAL HAS NEVER BEEN
STRONGER GIVEN THE FEDERAL MONE
AVAILABLE AND THE AMBITIONS OF
A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE COMMITTE
RIGHT NOW TO REUNITE
NEIGHBORHOODS, TO BUILD NEW
NEIGHBORHOODS IN PLACES THAT
ARE NOW CANYONS FOR CARS AND
REALLY NOTHING ELSE. THIS IS
GOING TO BE REALLY, COULD BE
REALLY REVOLUTIONARY WORK AND
I'M REALLY LOOKING FOR TO THE
IMPLICATIONS OF EXPANDING THE
POTENTIAL FOR LIDDING IN THE
CITY CORRIDOR. CLEAN CITY DATA
UPDATE. CLEAN CITY INITIATIVE
REPORTS, RECOVERING , ALTHOUGH
THEY DID NOT INDICATE A SPECIFI
TIME PERIOD, I BELIEVE IT IS IN
THE LAST WEEK AND A HALF, OVER
31,000 POUNDS OF TRASH AND 247
NEEDLES , IT DOES NOT INDICATE
THE NUMBER OF LOCATIONS THEY
REMEDIATED. OR THE TIME PERIOD
BUT MY PRESUMPTION IS THE LAS
WEEK AND A HALF AS PER USUAL
UPDATES. AGAIN, I APPRECIATE TH
ACCOUNTABILITY AND THE REPORT
BACKS FROM THE CLEAN CITY
INITIATIVE. MOVING ON TO UPDATE
FROM A COUPLE OF DEPARTMENTS.

SEATTLE PUBLIC LIBRARY. THE
LIBRARY REPORTS THAT PATRONS AR
NOW ACCUSTOMED TO SUMMER HOURS

SYSTEM, LABOR HAS SEEN AN UPTIC
IN THREATENING OR VIOLENT
INCIDENTS ON STAFF AND FOR
CHILLY. LIBRARY CONTINUES TO B
ENORMOUSLY THANKFUL FOR THE
SECURITY STATUS PROFESSIONALS
AND COMPOSURE DURING THE
STRESSFUL EVENTS. AND APPRECIAT
THE CITY COUNCIL'S
UNDERSTANDING AND INCLUSION OF
FUNDING IN THE MOST RECENT
BUDGET FOR ADDITIONAL SECURITY
OFFICERS TO KEEP STAFF AND
PATRONS OF THE SEATTLE PUBLIC
LIBRARY SAFE. I APPRECIATE THE
LIBRARY SHOWING THAT UPDATE.
OBVIOUSLY PART OF THIS COUNCIL
GOES OUT TO THEM IN THE
SITUATION THEY'RE FACING AND
SPEAKING FOR MYSELF, AND I'M
SURE ALL OF OUR COLLEAGUES, WE
APPRECIATE THE SEATTLE PUBLIC
LIBRARY'S GRATITUDE FOR THE
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES TO MEET TH
SITUATION THAT THEY ARE FACING

OF YEARS. IT IS A REALLY
IMPORTANT PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES
AFTERSCHOOL TUTORING AND

ENSURE THAT THIS REMAINS PART O
THE CONVERSATION AS PUBLIC
DOLLARS ARE BEING PROVIDED TO A
ENTITY, WHETHER GENERAL FUND OR

CONTINUE THE PUBLIC BENEFIT OF
THAT AND HAVING THE PACKAGE

COUNCIL MEMBER LOUIS TO FEATURE
HOW THIS WOULD BE HOW IT WOULD
HAVE A MULTIPLIER EFFECT
CONTINUING TO SERVE THE CANADIA
PUBLIC. ARE EXCITED WE WERE ABL
TO WORK WITH STAKEHOLDERS TO
INCLUDE THE LANGUAGE YOU SEE

AMENDMENT THAT ARTZ REQUESTED T
MAKE SURE THAT THE TECHNICAL
CORRECTION REFLECTS THAT ARTZ
IS BEING REQUESTED PROVIDING A
GRANT FROM SIF REPLACING SHELL

THE ONE EVENT FOR TOMORROW'S
SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET. MY HOPE IS

AS MANY DEPARTMENTS ARE LOOKING
FOR A FINALIZED BLUEPRINT FOR
THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR
ACTIVITIES AND THAT IS WHAT IT
WILL PROVIDE. ALSO ON TOMORROW'
AGENDA IS THE ANNUAL ACTION
PLAN, THIS IS RELATED TO EACH O

STATUS UPDATE. ON THE ONE IN
THE NORTH CASCADES HERE SKAGIT

SOME BACKGROUND THAT SIMULATES
INTO ME. SEATTLE CITY LIGHT IS

THE SPREAD OF THE SOURDOUGH
WILDFIRE IN THE NORTH CASCADES
NATIONAL PARK COMPLEX ADJACENT
TO ITS SKAGIT HYDROELECTRIC
PROJECT IN THE TOWNS OF DIABLO
A NEW CABLE. THE FIRES BEGAN
JULY 29 NEAR THE SOURDOUGH
MOUNTAIN TRAIL BECAUSE OF A
LIGHTNING STRIKE. A MULTIAGENCY
INCIDENT MANAGEMENT TEAM IS
COURTING FIREFIGHTING AND
CONTAINMENT EFFORTS WITH A FOCU
ON SLOWING THE FIRE SPREAD ,
PROTECTING STRUCTURES, AND
PRESERVING PUBLIC SAFETY. CREW

UPDATE FROM SEATTLE CITY LIGHT
AFTER THIS MEETING. ALL RIGHT,
MEETINGS I TOOK LAST WEEK, ON
JULY 27 THE SEATTLE ART FAIR A
THE CONVENTION CENTER. THAT WAS
MY FIRST TIME. IT WAS AMAZING.
LEFT FEELING MORE ALIVE AND
INSPIRED AND I RECOMMEND THAT
ANYONE WHO HAS THE OPPORTUNITY,
GO NEXT YEAR, IF YOU POSSIBLY
CAN. LAST WEDNESDAY OUR OFFICE
GOT A TOUR OF FROM THE CEO AN
CURATORS. WE ONLY HAD ONE HOUR
SO IT WAS HARD TO CHOOSE WHAT W
WANTED TO SEE, WE GOT IN-DEPTH
INSIGHT INTO THE NIRVANA AND
SCIENCE FICTION EXHIBITS. THOS
ARE REGULAR EXHIBITS. AND THE
HIGHLIGHT TO ME WAS GETTING
REALLY IN-DEPTH INFORMATION
ABOUT THE TEMPORARY AND
MUST-SEE EXHIBIT WHICH MARKS
THE HIP-HOP 50th BIRTHDAY. I
RECOMMEND THAT ANYONE SEE THAT
BEFORE IT LEAVES IN JANUARY.
DON'T WAIT UNTIL THE LAST
MINUTE. YOU'RE GOING TO WANT TO
SEE IT MANY TIMES. JUST A LITTL
PROMO, A GENERAL INDIVIDUAL
MEMBERSHIP IS MADE UP FOR IN
LESS THAN THREE VISITS. A
GENERAL-PURPOSE , GENERAL
ADMISSION TICKET IS $33. THIS
IS A VERY GOOD DOLLAR AND $79
AND DEFINITELY YOU WILL USE I
MANY TIMES JUST ON THIS EXHIBI
ALONE. ALL RIGHT, SINCE WE
DON'T HAVE ANOTHER BRIEFING
UNTIL SEPTEMBER, I THOUGHT I
WOULD MENTION THAT MONDAY,
AUGUST 21, I WILL JOIN
CONGRESSMAN SMITH FOR TWO HOURS
TO LEARN MORE ABOUT DETOX
CENTERS AND SUPPORTIVE HOUSING
HIS DISTRICT. THE FIRST TOUR
WILL BE AT MONTGOMERY PLACE AT
BEACON HILL AND THE SECOND WILL
BE AT ESC HOBSON PLACE. SPEAKIN
OF DRUGS, IS THE PRIME SPONSO
OF COUNCIL BILL 120586, THE
ORIGINAL BILL TO CONFORM TO
STATE LAW MAKING IMPOSITION AN
PUBLIC USE GROSS MISDEMEANOR,
WANTED TO TAKE A FEW MOMENTS TO
REACT PUBLICLY FOR THE FIRST
TIME TO THE LEGISLATION THE
MAYOR ANNOUNCED LAST MONDAY AND
TRANSMITTED LAST WEDNESDAY. IN
SHORT, I'M GLAD WE ARE FINALLY
MOVING FORWARD AND AM PLEASED T
SEE THAT THE MAYOR'S BILL
INCORPORATES MIGHT REQUEST TO
EMPHASIZE TREATMENT IN ADDITION
TO A VERSION AND I WILL
COSPONSOR THE LEGISLATION. IT I
NO SECRET I WOULD'VE PREFERRED
TO PASS A BILL THAT SIMPLY
ADOPTS STATE STATUTE INTO A
MUNICIPAL CODE AND KEEPS THE
POLICIES THAT WILL GOVERN ARRES
SEPARATE BECAUSE THAT KEEPS ANY
SUBJECTIVE INTERPRETATION OF
HARM OUT OF THE LETTER OF THE
LAW. BUT, I WAS IN PORTLAND THI
PAST WEEKEND AND I SAW THE
EFFECTS OF FIRST-HAND OF THE
INITIATIVE AND THAT FORMALLY
DECRIMINALIZE DRUGS IN 2020. I
CAN SAY THAT RECENT REPORTING
IN THE NEW YORK TIMES AND THE
SEATTLE TIMES IS NO
EXAGGERATION. SO, I JUST HAVE
TO SAY NOT GOING TO LET THE
ENEMY, LET THE PERFECT BE THE
ENEMY OF GOOD HERE IN THIS
LEGISLATION. WE HAVE GOT TO MOV
FORWARD AS WE HAVE SEEN THE
CATASTROPHIC IMPACTS OF THE
FENTANYL CRISIS COINCIDING WIT
THE DEFECTED CRIMINALIZATION OF
POSITION IN PUBLIC USE HERE IN
SEATTLE. THIS CANNOT CONTINUE.
WE HAVE TO MOVE FORWARD AND I'M
VERY MUCH LOOKING FORWARD TO
SEEING THAT HAPPEN AND
DELIVERING ON THIS IN THE AUGUS
14 PUBLIC SAFETY AND HUMAN
SERVICES COMMITTEE MEETING.
THAT IS IT FOR ME. IF THERE
AREN'T ANY QUESTIONS I WILL PAS
IT ON TO COUNCILMEMBER SAWANT.
ALL RIGHT. PASSING TO YOU,
COUNCILMEMBER SAWANT.
>> THANK YOU. GOOD AFTERNOON,
EVERYONE. THERE ARE NO ITEMS O
TOMORROW'S CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
FROM THE SUSTAINABILITY AND
RENTERS RATES COMMITTEE. AS
COMMITTEE MEMBERS KNOW MY OFFIC
IS ATTEMPTING TO SCHEDULE TWO
ADDITIONAL MEETINGS OF THE
COMMITTEE FOR SEPTEMBER. THE
OFFICE OF SUSTAINABILITY AND
ENVIRONMENT EXPECTS TO TRANSMIT
THE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
LEGISLATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL
IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS .
WHICH MEANS IT WILL BE
INTRODUCED IN TIME FOR THE
RENTERS RATES'S INABILITY
COMMITTEE IN SEPTEMBER. THIS IS
A LEGISLATION THAT WILL OVER
TIME PROHIBIT FOSSIL FUEL
HEATING AND WATER SYSTEMS IN
LARGE BUILDINGS IN SEATTLE.
BUILDING EMISSIONS ARE THE
SECOND LARGEST SOURCE OF
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS IN
SEATTLE AFTER TRANSPORTATION. S
THIS IS A SUBSTANTIAL PART OF
WHAT SEATTLE NEEDS TO CHANGE IN
ORDER TO STOP POLLUTING TO THE
CLIMATE CRISIS. BECAUSE THE BIL
WILL NOT BE READY FOR
INTRODUCTION UNTIL SEPTEMBER,
THAT WILL GIVE THE CITY COUNCIL
A NARROW WINDOW TO CONCEAL
CONSIDER THE LEGISLATION BEFORE
THE BUDGET BEGINS. WE WILL NEED
TO SCHEDULE TWO SPECIAL MEETING
IN SEPTEMBER TO ACCOMPLISH THAT
A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO MY OFFIC
SENT THE MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEES SUGGESTED DATES FOR
THOSE SPECIAL MEETINGS AND I
ASKED YOU, YOUR OFFICES, TO
CHECK YOUR CALENDARS TO LET US
KNOW WHEN YOU ARE AVAILABLE. I
BELIEVE WE ONLY HEARD FROM ONE
OFFICER FOR. I URGE ALL
COMMITTEE MEMBERS, AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE LET US KNOW WHICH
DATES ARE AVAILABLE FOR YOU.
BECAUSE THE OFFICE OF
SUSTAINABILITY AND ENVIRONMENT
CENTRAL STAFF BOTH NEED TO KNOW
WHEN THEY ARE PRESENTING, THEY
NEED TO PREPARE MATERIALS AND
ALSO THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT AR
ADVOCATING FOR THIS , INCLUDING
350 SEATTLE, ARE REALLY
INTERESTED TO KNOW THE DATES AS
SOON AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE THEY
NEED TO SCHEDULE THEIR OWN
EFFORTS AROUND THIS LEGISLATION
. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, THEY
WANT TO BE ABLE TO WEIGH IN ON
ORGANIZATIONS WILL ALSO BE
INTERESTED IN THIS IN WEIGHING
IN ON THE MOST PIVOTAL AND
MEANINGFUL DETAILS OF THE
LEGISLATION SUCH AS, HOW MUCH
TIME CORPORATIONS WILL GET
BEFORE THEY HAVE TO BEGIN
COMPLYING WITH THE NEW CLIMATE
STANDARDS. GIVEN THE PACE OF
THE CRISIS, AND GIVEN THE
LATEST PROGNOSIS FROM CLIMATE
SCIENTISTS, WHEN THIS WILL GET
DONE IS THE PARAMOUNT DETAIL I
THIS LEGISLATION. IT'S NOT JUST
ABOUT DOING IT IN NAME BUT IN
TIME TO AVERT SOME OF THE
DAMAGE THAT IS BEING DONE RIGHT
NOW. I APPRECIATE
COUNCILMEMBER LEWIS'S OFFICE
FROM RESPONDING. ABOUT
AVAILABILITY. I URGE OTHER
OFFICES TO ALSO LET MY OFFICE
KNOW. IF THERE ARE NO QUESTION
OR COMMENTS , I WILL PASS IT ON
TO COUNCIL PRESIDENT PRO TEM
PEDERSEN.
>> THANK YOU, COUNCILMEMBER
SAWANT. GOOD AFTERNOON,
COLLEAGUES. THERE ARE TWO ITEMS
FOR TRANSPORTATION AND SEATTLE
PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMITTEE ON
THE FULL COUNCIL AGENDA
TOMORROW. COUNCIL BILL 120611
WILL AUTHORIZE A PROPERTY
TRANSFER FROM SEATTLE PUBLIC
UTILITIES TO SEATTLE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS TO BENEFIT RAINIER
BEACH HIGH SCHOOL. THIS PROPOSA
WAS APPROVED BY THE CITY'S
FINANCIAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE
SERVICES DEPARTMENT AND NO
ISSUES WERE IDENTIFIED BY OUR
CITY COUNCIL CENTRAL STAFF. AS
REQUIRED OUR COMMITTEE HELD A
PUBLIC HEARING JULY 18 AND THER
WERE NO PUBLIC COMMENTERS. THE
COMMITTEE UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMEND
APPROVAL OF THE COUNCIL BILL.
COUNCIL BILL 120624 IS FROM
SEATTLE PUBLIC UTILITIES AND
WILL APPROVE WATER MAIN
EASEMENTS IN THE GEORGETOWN
NEIGHBORHOOD ADJACENT TO A LOCA
COMPANY, LESION BREWING. IT IS
A RELATIVELY MINOR COUNCIL BIL
IS REFLECTED BY THE FACT THAT
THERE WERE NO PUBLIC COMMENTERS
AT THE HEARING WE HELD AUGUST 1
AGAIN, OUR COMMITTEE
UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED ADOPTIO
OF THAT COUNCIL BILL. OUR NEXT
COMMITTEE MEETING OF THE
TRANSPORTATION SEATTLE PUBLIC
UTILITIES COMMITTEE IS CURRENTL
SCHEDULED FOR NEXT TUESDAY,
9:30 AM. WE ARE STILL PUTTING
TOGETHER OUR AGENDA FOR NEXT
WEEK BUT WE EXPECT TO HAVE FOUR
ITEMS ON THE AGENDA. TO FOSTER
THE PRODUCTION OF LOW-INCOME
HOUSING, IS PART OF A
FORTHCOMING TRANSIT ORIENTED
DEVELOPMENT, PART OF THE
UNIVERSITY DISTRICT, WE WILL
HAVE A PRESENTATION PUBLIC
HEARING ON A PROPOSED PARTIAL
ALLOCATION. THIS INCLUDES CLER
FILE 314496. TECHNICALLY THE
PROPOSAL IS TO REROUTE THE
SOUTHERN PORTION OF THAT PUBLIC
ALLEY SO EXITS ONTO 11th AVENU
NORTHEAST RATHER THAN ONTO
NORTHEAST 45th STREET. IF
APPROVED, THIS RECONFIGURATION
OF THE PUBLIC ALLEY WILL ENABLE
THE CONSTRUCTION OF A MUCH
GREATER DENSITY OF AFFORDABLE
HOUSING ON THIS MAJOR
INTERSECTION. FOR FUTURE
RESIDENTS, THEY WILL BE ABLE TO
WALK TO JOBS, EDUCATION,
HEALTHCARE AND OF COURSE
AFFORDABLE PUBLIC MASS TRANSIT.
IS CURRENTLY THE SITE OF 35 TIN
HOMES. I WOULD EXPECT PART OF
THE TANGIBLE PUBLIC BENEFIT IN
EXCHANGE FOR THE CITY
GOVERNMENT GRANTED ALLEY
VACATION TO INCLUDE A NUMBER OF
SMALL -- A SIMILAR NUMBER OF
UNITS FOR HOUSING FOR
EXPERIENCING HOSTESS. WE
APPRECIATE THE CITY'S OFFICE OF
HOUSING TO ENSURE THE FUTURE
PROJECT SERVES EXTREMELY LOW
INCOME PEOPLE. THIS WILL BE
CLERK FILE 314 496. OUR
COMMITTEE WILL HERE FOR A SECON
TIME COUNCIL BILL 120625 FROM
OUR SEATTLE DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION TO CONTINUE THE
LEGISLATION NEEDED TO AUTHORIZE
THE FULL TOOLBOX OF AUTOMATED
CAMERA ENFORCEMENT. THAT IS JUS
ONE ELEMENT OF TRAFFIC SAFETY.
AS WE KNOW THE COUNCIL ALREADY
ADOPTED 20 600 WHICH DESIGNATE
WHERE WE WOULD INITIALLY INSTAL
ENFORCEMENT CAMERAS AND
ENDANGERS DRAGRACING ZONES. THE
ADDITIONAL COUNCIL BILL WHICH
WE FIRST HEARD AUGUST 1 WILL
INCORPORATE ADDITIONAL
REVISIONS OF THE RELATIVELY NEW
STATE LAW. AT OUR COMMITTEE ON
AUGUST 15 WE WILL CONSIDER
AMENDMENTS . FOR EXAMPLE, THERE
SEEMS TO BE CONSENSUS FROM
TRINITY MEMBERS TO MAKE SURE WE
KEEP THE NET REVENUE AFTER
INSTALLATION COSTS OF EXPENSES
AND DEPOSIT THOSE DOLLARS INTO
THE SDOT FUNDS FOR FUTURE
TRANSPORTATION SAFETY
INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS. RATHER
THAN HAVING THOSE NEW DOLLARS
GO INTO THE GENERAL FUND.
BECAUSE, DIRECTING THE DOLLARS
INTO A TRANSPORTATION AND SAFET
FUND IMPACTS ANOTHER SECTION OF
THE SEATTLE IMMISCIBLE CODE.
THAT AMENDMENT WILL BE VOTED
AUGUST 15 IN THE FORM OF A MIN
COUNCIL BILL , I THINK IT WILL
HAVE THE NUMBER 120638.
REGARDING 120625, TO IMPLEMENT
THE STATES AUTHORITY, IT'S
IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT IT WOULD
NOT CHANGE EXISTING FISCAL
POLICIES FOR SCHOOL ZONE AND RE
LIGHT CAMERAS. THE STUFF WE AR
TO HAVE. BUT WOULD RATHER
SPECIFY INFORMATION ABOUT THE
NEWLY AUTHORIZED CAMERAS AND
REVENUE RELATED TO DRAGRACING.
OKAY. DURING OUR AUGUST 15 MAN
WE WILL ALSO HAVE A REPORT FRO
SDOT AND UPDATE ON THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SEATTLE
TRANSPORTATION BENEFIT DISTRICT
WHICH SDOT STAFF TYPICALLY
REFERRED TO AS THE SEATTLE
TRANSIT MEASURE. THAT IS THE
SALES TAX EVERYONE PAYS TO BOOS
BUS SERVICE IN SEATTLE TO
SUPPORT INFRASTRUCTURE
MAINTENANCE. CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENTS. MAXIMIZE
EFFICIENCY AND PROVIDE
SUBSIDIES TO WRITERS MOST IN
NEED. SDOT SPENDING PLANS FOR
THE ANNUAL $60 MILLION OR SO O
SPD FUNDS ARE OFTEN DIFFICULT T
NAIL DOWN SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO
SEEING THE ACTUAL LINE ITEMS. W
WILL ALSO HEAR FROM THE
VOLUNTARY OVERSIGHT BOARD OF TH
TRANSMIT TRANSIT ADVISORY BOARD
THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT. LET'
SEE WHAT ELSE WE HAVE. I THINK
THAT IS IT, FOLKS. I WILL GO
AHEAD AND ANYTHING FOR THE GOO
OF THE ORDER? COUNCILMEMBER
HERBOLD ?
>> THANK YOU. I JUST WANT TO
ANSWER A QUESTION THAT CAME UP
EARLIER IN THE MEETING FROM
COUNCILMEMBER NELSON. THE AGEND
THAT WENT OUT TODAY HAS THE
AMENDMENTS FOR TOMORROW'S FULL
COUNCIL MEETING. GREAT, THANK
YOU.
>> EXCELLENT. ALL RIGHT,
COLLEAGUES, ANYTHING FURTHER
BEFORE WE GO AHEAD AND CONCLUDE
OUR MEETING? ALL RIGHT. WELL,
THE TIME IS 3:0 6 PM AND THIS
CONCLUDES OUR COUNCIL BRIEFING
MEETING. I'M PROBABLY SUPPOSED
TO SAY SOMETHING ELSE BUT LET'S
CLOSE IT OUT. THANK YOU.
