Agenda Item one Council Bill 12012 sets relating to Seattle Parks and Recreation authorizing an exchange of city owned property at Walt Playfield for property owned by Seattle's Seattle School District Number One adjacent to West Seattle Elementary School. Thank you so much. I moved past Council Bill 120126. Is there a second second? It's been moved the second to pass the bill and to hand it over to Councilmember Juarez, who is the prime sponsor of this bill, to address the item. Thank you, Council President, and thank. You for. Allowing this item to advance to full council. So Seattle. Parks and Seattle Public. Schools can meet their deadline. Colleagues, as I shared with you an email, an informational background email on. Friday. July 23rd. This executive proposed legislation will authorize. An exchange of city owned property at Walt Hunley, PLAYFIELD for property. Owned by. Seattle Public Schools. Adjacent to West Seattle Elementary School. We've done these common property swaps between parks and other city departments, such as START in the zoo and Aquarium. And now we're doing another one with Seattle Public Schools. Salem Public Schools in Sealed Parks and Rec began the process of formally transfer transferring these two pieces of property in the 1980s, but did not. Complete the legal process required for transferring the properties, including the execution. Of quick quitclaim deeds. The property trade involves two pieces of land of equal value in size. This trade. Will give Seattle Parks and Rec full control over. Its existing athletic. Field in Seattle public schools, full control and the ability to develop its. Property at the elementary school. Bill ensures that the portion of the property being transferred to Seattle Public Schools remains available for public outdoor recreation through the execution of an interlocal agreement between the two agencies. Madam President, I recommend that Council pass this bill. Thank you. Thank you. Consumer awareness. Do you have your handwriting? Thank you so much. I really appreciate Summer Warriors for bringing this forward for the viewing our listening public in District one. Just want to add a little bit of more detail about the Interlocal agreement. The Interlocal agreement specifies that the district will not develop or fence off the public recreation portion, but will have the ability to install a gate in the existing fence that will allow students to access and recreate the arrangement, equalizes the area of the transfers , and neither agency will be required to compensate the other for the exchange. And the legislation does not in any way change the current use of the affected pieces of property. They'll continue to be used as they are now, but with underlying ownership appropriately held by the correct agency user things. And you do so much because number herbals.
