The Report of the Neighborhoods Education, Civil Rights and Culture Committee Agenda Item three Council Bill 120336 An Ordinance relating to Historic Preservation Imposing controls upon the key to Ravel's House. A landmark designation by the Landmark Preservation Board. The committee recommends the bill pass. Thank you. Council member Alice. Thank you very much. Colleagues, we did hear in my committee about the Cape Rebels house. It was built in 1902. It's located in the Capitol Hill neighborhood and was home of the prominent Cape Rebels family, Horace Cayton and Suzy Rebels, who were the first owners and editors of the Seattle Republican, which was the city's first black owned newspaper. The home itself is associated with a significant chapter of Seattle and Washington black heritage. The family fought for civil rights and used their paper to advocate for racial equity in the city. And the Landmarks Designation Board has recommended that this House receive that designation. It was unanimously voted in my committee that it do pass. Q I'm trying to do three things at once, and that's probably not a good thing to do while you're trying to cheer me. So are there any other comments for Councilmember Ellis? Okay. Not seen any. Let's go ahead with the vote then. Madam Clerk, will you please call the roll? Councilmember Nelson. I remember Peterson. I don't remember a lot. Yes. Councilmember Lewis. Yes. Councilmember Morales. Yes. Council president. Was I six in favor and unopposed. Thank you. The bill passes. The chair will sign it. And then please affix my signature. Thank you. We'll move to item number four, which is also Casper Morales. Madam Clerk, will you please. Item forward to the record. Agenda item four Appointment 2 to 5 one. The reappointment of Matt and Pam Luther as member at Landmark's Preservation Board for a term two August 14, 2025. The Committee recommends the Council confirm the appointment.
