The report at the sustainability and Transportation Committee agenda item three Cancel 118 626 relating to the Department Transportation authorizing the Director of Transportation to enter into a lease agreement with the National Railroad Passenger Corporation for Amtrak's continued use and occupant occupancy of a portion of King Street Station to provide passenger rail services. The committee recommends the bill pass. So this bill would allow starting a new 20 year lease agreement with Amtrak for the King Street Station. The agreement allows Amtrak to occupy the first floor, as they do today, and clarifies the city's right to lease leased spaces on the second and third floor, which will be occupied by the Office of Arts and Culture and periodically be used as a gallery space.
