AMENDMENT CONSISTS OF BUDGET
AMENDMENTS THAT WERE MET BY THE
NOVEMBER FIRST AMENDMENT
DEADLINE. THEY ARE GENERALLY
WELL SUPPORTED . IN THE

DEMONSTRATED THAT THERE IS
GENERAL SUPPORT. AT THIS TIME,
I WILL ASK MEMBERS IF THEY
WOULD LIKE AN ITEM REMOVED.
AGAIN, WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO
SPEAK TO ANY AND ALL OF THESE
ITEMS WITHOUT REMOVING THEM.
REMOVING AN ITEM DOES NOT
REQUIRE A SECOND OR A REASON
WHY THE REQUEST IS BEING MADE.
IF AN ITEM IS BEING REMOVED IT
WILL BE CONSIDERED AFTER
CONSIDERATION OF THE REVISED
CONSENT CALENDAR IN
ALPHANUMERICAL ORDER. WITH
THAT, I SEE WE HAVE A COUPLE
HANDS UP. I'M GOING TO BE
TAKING NOTES. WE ARE ALL TAKING
NOTES SO LET'S GO SLOW SO WE

WE SHOULD NOT TAKE OUR TIME. I

>> THANK YOU. I JUST WANTED TO
SAY THAT THE CARE AMENDMENT 101
SA 1 IS REALLY A FRIENDLY
AMENDMENT AS YOU KNOW, I HAD
CONVERSATIONS WITH THE MAYOR'S
OFFICE AND THEY WERE SUPPORTIVE
OF THIS BECAUSE THEY, TOO,
THINK THERE IS A LOT OF VALUE
IN GETTING THIS DATA DASHBOARD,
WHICH I BELIEVE I TALKED TO
YESTERDAY, YOU KNOW, IT GIVES
THEM INFORMATION ABOUT THE 911
CALLS AND NONEMERGENCY CALLS
THAT COME IN AND THEN JUST
THERE IS THE SEATTLE
RESTORATION DIRECTOR IN THE
BODY OF WORK THAT IS GOING TO
-- THAT PERSON IS GOING TO
OVERSEE FOR YOU KNOW,
TRANSPARENCY AND SO THAT WE ARE
ALL ARE ON THE SAME PAGE ABOUT
WHAT THAT WORK WILL BE SO I

THIS WOULD IMPOSE A PROVISO OF
$200,000 JUMPSTART FUND AND OED
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. THE CBA
INCLUDES EXAMPLES OF SUCH
NEIGHBORHOODS THAT MAY BE
SUPPORTED WITH THESE FUNDS
ALTHOUGH OED IS ALSO LIKELY TO
INITIATE A COMPETITIVE PROCESS
FOR DISTRIBUTION OF THESE FUNDS
AND I BELIEVE THERE WILL BE A
DISCUSSION ABOUT THE
NEIGHBORHOODS LISTED.

CITY IN TERMS OF THE END OF

WANTED TO CONFIRM THAT THE
SENTENCE SHOULD ALSO --
>> NOW, DID I OMIT LAKE CITY?
>> JUST OUT OF ORDER. WHATEVER
IT IS, I APOLOGIZE, IS
DIFFERENT THAN WHAT IS ON THE
SCREEN.
>> OKAY, THAT'S FINE, YEAH.
VERSION CONTROL ISSUES, SOUNDS
LIKE, BUT THE VERSION THAT IS
SHOWN AND DISPLAYED CURRENTLY
ON THE SCREEN RIGHT NOW FOR THE

ARE BIPOC, AND I BELIEVE ONE OF
THEM , IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN,
CLOSED RECENTLY BECAUSE OF ALL
THE ACTIVITY , THE CRIMINAL
ACTIVITY, ALL THE BREAK-INS AND
SUCH, SO REALLY APPRECIATE MY
COLLEAGUE FOR ACKNOWLEDGING AND
WORKING WITH ME TO -- AND
REALLY, JUST I REQUESTED THAT
HE CONSIDER ADDING WEDGWOOD
BECAUSE THIS IS A NEIGHBORHOOD
THAT HAS SUCH NEEDS IN MY
DISTRICT, AND I REALLY
APPRECIATE HIS WILLINGNESS TO
AMEND HIS AMENDMENT TO INCLUDE
THAT. ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF
COLLEAGUES WORKING TOGETHER
BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW THAT THE
NEEDS ARE ACROSS THE CITY , SO
REALLY APPRECIATE HIS
LEADERSHIP ON THAT, AND HIS
WILLINGNESS TO ADD OUR DISTRICT
TO HIS AMENDMENT. THANK YOU.

AMENDMENT?
>> I WILL BE QUICK AND THERE IS
A TECHNICAL FIX I WANTED TO
MAKE SURE EVERYONE WAS CLEAR
ON. THIS AMENDMENT MAKES TWO
POLICY CHANGES TO THE ONE THAT
WAS PART OF THE BALANCING
PACKAGE. IT INCLUDES A NEW
SENTENCE THIS IS SHELTERS THAT
ARE FUNDED THROUGH THIS COUNCIL
BUDGET AMENDMENT MUST INCLUDE
WRAPAROUND SERVICES SUCH AS
CASE MANAGEMENT AND HOUSING
NAVIGATION AND IT ALSO, IT
FURTHER DEFINES HIGH IMPACT
AREAS AS AREAS THAT HAVE
SUBSTANTIAL ENCAMPMENTS AS
SUBSTANTIATED BY UNIFIED
CAROTENE DATA. THE TECHNICAL
FIX IS JUST UNDER THE SECTION
HERE THAT DESCRIBES WHAT THE
FUNDING WOULD INCLUDE. IT SAID
650,000 OF ONE-TIME FUNDING FOR
A HALF-YEAR OF OPERATING COSTS.
THAT SHOULD'VE READ 1.3
MILLION. THE TRANSACTIONS HAVE
NOT CHANGED. THEY WERE ALWAYS
ENTERED CORRECTLY. THE
NARRATIVE JUST HAD THAT
INFORMATION MISSTATED. THAT IS
A TECHNICAL FIX. THAT IS IT.

I MOVE TO REMOVE THE VERSION 1
AND REPLACE WITH VERSION TWO?
>> YOU HAVE UNANIMOUS CONSENT
FROM THE BODY AS THE CHAIR
COULD JUST ASK FOR UNANIMOUS
CONSENT TO WITHDRAW THE INITIAL
AMENDMENT WHICH WAS PRESENTED
IN ZERO 1 A , THAT WOULD BE
PREFERRED SO YOU CAN CONSIDER
THIS NEW REVISED VERSION IN
FRONT OF YOU.
>> THANK YOU. COMMITTEE, IF
THERE IS NO OBJECTION, 1 LETTER
A IS WITHDRAWN AND AT THIS TIME
WE HAVE BEFORE US VERSION 2 AND
AT THIS TIME I WILL MOVE CBA 21
A. IT HAS BEEN MOVED AND
SECONDED. I WILL FIRST ASK
CENTRAL STAFF -- ACTUALLY FIRST
SORRY, IT'S ARTIE BEEN MOVED
AND SECONDED. CENTRAL STAFF
WILL BRIEF US ON THE AMENDMENT
TO THE AMENDMENT AND
COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA THEN
COUNCIL MEMBER MORALES THAN
GENERAL DISCUSSION. OVER TO
YOU.
>> HSD 20 1A VERSION 1 WOULD
INCREASE APPROPRIATIONS TO HSD
BY 110 THOUSAND DOLLARS IN THE
GENERAL FUND 26. [ INAUDIBLE ]
LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES AND
OTHER MARGINALIZED PEOPLE.
COUNSEL HAS IDENTIFIED THAT
COMMUNITIES RISE WOULD BE
APPROPRIATE FOR THIS FUNDING.
HSD 21 A 2 , THE AMENDMENT IN
FRONT OF YOU ALL, WOULD PUT THE
REFERENCES TO IMMIGRANTS AND
REFUGEES FURTHER DOWN IN THE
LIST OF THE TYPES OF
CONSTITUENTS THE COMMUNITY
ORGANIZATIONS WOULD SUPPORT
WITH HIS TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
AS WELL AS INCLUDE A PROVISO TO
ENSURE THAT THE FUNDING GOES
TOWARD SUPPORTING COMMUNITIES
OF COLOR, LOW INCOME
COMMUNITIES, IMMIGRANTS,
REFUGEES AND OTHER MARGINALIZED
PEOPLE WHO LIVE AND WORK IN
SEATTLE.
>> THANK YOU. VICE CHAIR
RIVERA, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
>> THANK YOU, CHAIR. THANK YOU,
JASMINE AND CENTRAL STAFF, FOR
YOUR QUICK WORK ON THIS. I WILL
SAY THAT -- I WILL CLARIFY
SOMETHING YOU JUST SAID. REALLY
WHAT THIS DOES IS EXPAND THE
CONSTITUENCY BECAUSE THIS IS
WHO THE ORIGINAL CONSTITUENCY
WAS MEANT TO CAPTURE SO THAT IT
MORE ACCURATELY REFLECTS WHO IS
ELIGIBLE AND IMMIGRANTS AND
REFUGEES ARE STILL IN HERE SO
IT IS NOT REMOVING THAT AT ALL
BUT IT IS AN EXPANDED VERSION
OF WHO WOULD BE ELIGIBLE AND
THEN IT WOULD ADD THE PROVISO
THAT WAS IN MY ORIGINAL
AMENDMENT TO THIS AMENDMENT TO
REQUIRE THAT THE FUNDING GO TO
FOLKS WHO EITHER LIVE OR WORK
IN SEATTLE.
>> THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER
MORALES, AS SPONSOR OF THE
UNDERLINED AMENDMENT, YOU ARE
UP NEXT.
>> THANK YOU. I DON'T THINK IT
MAKES MUCH DIFFERENCE WHETHER
THE WORDS ARE IN BUT THEY ARE
ALL THERE SO I'M FINE WITH
THAT AND I DON'T HAVE A
PROBLEM WITH THE PROVISO THAT
ENSURES THAT WE ARE SUPPORTING
FOLKS WHO LIVE OR WORK IN
SEATTLE, SO I AM FINE WITH THIS
AMENDMENT. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU. COLLEAGUES, ANY
OTHER COMMENTS ON THE AMENDMENT
TO THE AMENDMENT?
>> YES.
>> I'M GOING TO COME BACK TO
YOU AT THE END IN CASE ANYONE
ELSE WANTS TO SPEAK. LAST CALL.
COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. COUNCIL MEMBER
MORALES, YOU WILL HAVE THE LAST
WORD THEN WE WILL GO TO THE
VOTE.
>> YES, THANK YOU. IT IS NOT
THE ORDER OF THE WORDS. IT IS
AN EXPANDED LIST BUT ALSO I
WANTED TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY
TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO OUR
OFFICE OF IMMIGRANT AND REFUGEE
AFFAIRS AND ART DIRECTOR
BECAUSE SHE DOES SUCH GREAT
WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY , AND
WHEN I FIRST READ THIS, I READ
IT TO THE IMMIGRANT AND
REFUGEES AND SO SHE IS ALWAYS
WILLING TO DO THE WORK AND
ANYWAY, I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A
GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE HER A
SHOUT OUT AND APPRECIATE HER
FOR ALL HER WORK DURING THE
DIFFICULT LAST YEAR AND WHAT IS
GOING TO PROBABLY PROVE TO BE
EVEN MORE DIFFICULT TIMES TO
COME, GIVEN RECENT EVENTS SO
ANYWAY, THANK YOU, DIRECTOR
MOHAMMED. YEAH, THANK YOU.
>> AMEN. COUNCIL MEMBER
MORALES, ANY LAST WORDS? CLERK,
WILL YOU PLEASE CALL THE ROLL
ON THE AMENDMENT TO HSD 21 A
USING VERSION 2.

COMMENTS ON THE AMENDMENT AS
AMENDED? COUNCIL PRESIDENT.
>> I HAVE A QUESTION. IN YOUR
CONVERSATIONS, COUNCILMEMBER
RIVERA, WITH DIRECTOR MOHAMMED
, THEY ALSO DO WORK ON BEHALF
OF IMMIGRANTS AND REFUGEES, SO
IS THERE, JUST FOR MY -- IT
DOESN'T CHANGE MY POSITION ON
THIS AMENDMENT BUT SINCE WE ARE
TALKING ABOUT IT, IS THERE
INTERACTION BETWEEN THE BODY OF
WORK IN A LYRA AND THE WORK HSD
IS DOING ON BEHALF OF THIS
COMMUNITY?
>> COUNCILMEMBER NELSON, DO YOU
HAVE ANY COMMENTS?
>> GREAT, COUNCILMEMBER RIVERA
THEN WE GO TO VOTE.
>> ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU. THIS
PARTICULAR ORGANIZATION DOES
WORK FOR A LIST OF
CONSTITUENCIES INCLUDING
IMMIGRANTS AND REFUGEES. I WILL
NOTE THAT THIS PARTICULAR
ORGANIZATION, BECAUSE I ASKED
MORE INFORMATION, I SPOKE TO
THE DIRECTOR AT HSD AS WELL.
THE REASON THEY HAD ORIGINALLY
BEEN REMOVED BUT THE REDUCTION
IN FUNDING HAD TO DO WITH THE
FACT THAT HSD HAD TO PROFFER
SOME CUTS SO THEY FOCUSED ON
THEIR NEEDS-BASED CONTRACTS YOU
KNOW, BASIC NEEDS AND THIS IS A
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM ,
IF YOU WILL, SO THEY REALLY TRY
TO MAINTAIN ALL THE BASIC NEEDS
BUT THE ORGANIZATION DOES GREAT
NEEDS -- WORK IS I'M BEING
TOLD BY DIRECTOR KIM AND THEY
SERVE ALL THE COMMUNITIES
LISTED HERE WHICH IS WHY I
THINK THIS IS A BETTER LIST OF
FOLKS. IT IS BETTER DESCRIPTIVE
AND NOT JUST IMMIGRANTS AND
REFUGEES BUT THEY DO SERVE
IMMIGRANTS AND REFUGEES.
>> THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU. MEMBERS MUST BE
RECOGNIZED TO SPEAK AND SO WITH
THAT, CLERK, WILL YOU PLEASE
CALL THE ROLL ON AMENDED HSD 21
A.
>> VICE CHAIR RIVERA
>> AYE
>> COUNCIL MEMBER SAKA
>> AYE
>> COUNCIL MEMBER WOO
>> YES
>> COUNCIL MEMBER HOLLINGSWORTH
>> YES
>> COUNCIL MEMBER KETTLE
>> AYE
>> COUNCIL MEMBER MOORE
>> AYE
>> COUNCIL MEMBER MORALES
>> YES
>> COUNCIL PRESIDENT NELSON
>> AYE
>> CHAIR STRAUSS
>> YES. LINE IN FAVOR, NONE
OPPOSED.
>> THANK YOU. THE MOTION PASSES
AND IT LEFT MY SCREEN. HSD 21 A
VERSION 2 PASSES AND IS
ATTACHED TO COUNSEL BILL
120905. COLLEAGUES, I AM GOING
TO NOW ASK THAT THE RULES ARE
SUSPENDED TO ALLOW A WALK ON
AMENDMENT NOT DISTRIBUTED
BEFORE 5:00 P.M. YESTERDAY , TO
BE ATTACHED TO THE AGENDA . ARE
THERE ANY OBJECTIONS? HEARING
NO OBJECTIONS , I MOVE THAT THE
AGENDA BE AMENDED TO ADD SF
D102 A VERSION 1. IS THERE A
SECOND?
>> SECOND.
>> THANK YOU. IT HAS BEEN MOVED
AND SECONDED TO ADD SFD102A TO
THE AGENDA. WE HAVE IT NOW
BEFORE US, SO I MOVE , AND
AMELIA, TELL ME IF I'M GETTING
ANY OF THIS WRONG, BECAUSE THIS
IS ALL FROM MEMORY. SO, I MOVE
CBA SFD102A. IS THERE A SECOND?
>> SECOND.
>> SFD102A HAS BEEN MOVED AND
SECONDED. WE HAVE DISTRIBUTED
THIS AMENDMENT PAPER COPIES TO
ALL COUNCILMEMBERS. THERE IS
ONE FOR PUBLIC VIEWING ON THE
DESK HERE. AMELIA BEAT US TO
IT. AMELIA REALLY DOES MAKE
THIS WHOLE COUNSEL WORK ALONG
WITH JODY, WHO IS OUR EYES IN
THE SKY. WITH THAT, DIRECTOR,
WOULD YOU LIKE TO BRIEF THIS
AND I CAN PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON
THIS.
>> YES, THIS CBA WOULD POSITION
OF AUTHORITY, NOT FUNDING, BUT
POSITION AUTHORITY TO RESTORE A
CAPTAIN POSITION AT SFD. THE
PROPOSED BUDGET WOULD CIVILIAN
EYES A ROLE RELATED TO
DISABILITY ASSESSMENTS AND WORK
WITH FIREFIGHTERS WHO HAVE
UNDERSTANDABLY, GIVEN THE
NATURE OF THEIR WORK, BECOME
DISABLED AS A RESULT OF
WORK-RELATED INJURIES AND THIS
IS A PROCESS TO BRING THEM BACK
TO WORK AND THAT IS WHAT THIS
POSITION IS INVOLVED IN.
CURRENTLY, THERE IS A UNIFORMED
POSITION DOING IT. THE BUDGET
PROPOSES TO CIVILIAN EYES THAT.
THIS WOULD ADD BACK THE
UNIFORMED POSITION, LEAVING
PLACE THE PROPOSED CIVILIAN
POSITION AGAIN NOT ADDING ANY
ADDITIONAL FUNDING . THERE IS
STILL SOME WORK TO BE DONE ON
THE EXECUTIVE SIDE TO SORT OUT
THE BEST WAY TO APPROACH THIS
BODY OF WORK AND WHETHER OR NOT
THERE MIGHT BE JUSTIFICATION
FROM BOTH POSITIONS, SO THIS
WOULD ESSENTIALLY LEAVE THE
STATUS QUO IN PLACE. THAT IS TO
SAY THE UNIFORMED POSITION
WOULD ALLOW THE ADDITION OF A
CIVILIAN POSITION AND FOR THIS
ISSUE TO BE RESOLVED OVER THE
COMING MONTHS BUT AGAIN, NO NEW
FUNDING, JUST RESTORING THE
POSITION AUTHORITY FOR THE
UNIFORMED POSITION.
>> THANK YOU. A SPONSOR OF THE
AMENDMENT I WILL ADDRESS THE
AMENDMENT BEFORE US. IF WE
LOOK, BUT I DON'T HAVE THE
PAGE NUMBER OFF THE TOP OF MY
HEAD , AND THE PROPOSED BUDGET
THAT WAS PRESENTED TO US, THE
LAST LINE OF THIS ITEMS AS
PENDING ONGOING LABOR
NEGOTIATIONS. AS WE PROCEEDED
THROUGH BUDGET YOU MAY REMEMBER
ME MAKING COMMENTS HERE AT THE
DAIS ABOUT ESSENTIALLY
WORKPLACE INJURIES. FIRST
RESPONSES ARE EXPOSED TO
INJURIES AT A HIGHER RATE THAN
OTHERS AND IT IMPORTANT THEY
GET WHAT THEY NEED TO BE ABLE
TO RETURN TO WORK AS EARLY AS
POSSIBLE. DURING THIS COMMENTS
EARLIER IN THE BUDGET CYCLE I
SAID I'M NOT GOING TO PUT MY
FINGER ON THE SCALE AS TO
WHETHER IT IS A CIVILIAN,
SOMEBODY IN SD HR OR SOMEBODY
WITHIN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ,
JUST THAT IT NEEDS TO BE
COMPLETED. WHAT WE ARE
UNDERSTANDING THROUGHOUT THE
BUDGET PROCESS IS THAT THESE
CONVERSATIONS WOULD BE WRAPPED
UP BY THIS POINT WHERE WE ARE
TODAY, AND THEY ARE NOT, AND
THAT IS WHAT HAS CHANGED AND
MADE THIS POSITION AUTHORITY
NECESSARY TO CONTINUE THE
CONVERSATION WITHOUT CLOSING
THE DOOR ON ANYTHING.
COLLEAGUES, DO YOU HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THE
AMENDMENT BEFORE US? I AM
SEEING NO QUESTIONS. AND SO AT
THIS TIME, I WILL ASK THE CLERK
TO CALL THE ROLL ON CBA
SFD102A.

>> NINE IN FAVOR, NONE OPPOSED.
>> THANK YOU. CBA SFD102A
PASSES AND IS ATTACHED TO
COUNSEL BILL 120905. WITH THAT,
THAT BRINGS US TO THE
CONCLUSION OF GROUP C. WE HAVE
GOTTEN BACK ON TRACK. THANK
YOU, TEAM, AND APOLOGIES FOR
GETTING A LITTLE TENSE EARLIER.
I WILL CHECK IN WITH CENTRAL
STAFF AT THIS TIME TO CHECK IN
TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY FURTHER
BUSINESS TO COME BEFORE THE
COMMITTEE TODAY.
>> FOR THE GOOD OF THE ORDER,
HOLDING D UNTIL TOMORROW MAKES
A LOT OF SENSE.
>> YES, SO GROUP D TOMORROW,
