The Report of the City Council Agenda Item one Council Bill 120324 An ordinance amending ordinance 126490 which adopted the 2022 budget, changing appropriations to various departments and budget control levels and from various funds in the 2022 budget. Thank you. I move to pass Council Bill 120324. Is there a second? Second. Thank you. It's been moved and seconded to pass the bill. As a sponsor, I will address the bill first and then open it up to comics. I share some of this information with you all yesterday during our briefing, so let me share it again for the record. In late 2021, in early 2022, the Seattle City Council adopted six separate ordinances relating to the compensation of city personnel, including cost of living adjustments and adding paid holidays for Juneteenth. Indigenous Peoples Day. Funds to cover those costs associated with these bills were being held in reserves in the general fund and in some department funds until the exact appropriation amounts to each department had been determined. The legislation appropriates those funds to city departments to fulfill these commitments. It did not go to committee, but was rather sent straight to us. Full City Council. Credible has served as our staff analysis on this bill and sent a memo to each council member last week. Are there any comments before we go to a vote? I'm not seeing any, madam. Oh, ahead. I'm sorry. I did not see you. Go ahead, Councilmember. That's okay. All right. I've kept etymology still. I want to thank you for this, first of all, for bringing all of these different pieces together. I'm really honored to have sponsored Bill 26 505, which created the citywide holiday that commemorates Juneteenth, which we are including here. As we all know, that's an opportunity. A holiday is an opportunity not just to celebrate, but also to speak out about the work that society still has to do. So I'm just really excited that our city workers will now have this date to mark this important commemoration and all that it stands for. And I'm looking forward to sharing that day with them. Thank you. And also free parking on those two days and also free parking. And I really want to thank my chief of staff, Randall and Carina Bull and the executive, because they're the ones that pull all this stuff together for us. And I do the easy part. So thank you. Thank you for that. So it's been moved and seconded and we've had comments. So, Madam Clerk, can you please call the roll number? Strauss. Yes. Councilmember Herbold. Yes. Councilmember Lewis. Yes. Councilmember Morales. Councilmember Mosquera. I remember Nelson. I. Councilmember Peterson. Hi. Councilmember Sawant. Yes. Council President. Was I not in favor and unopposed.

So will the clerk please read item number two to the record?
