A RESOLUTION approving the proposed budget framework of the Skagit Environmental Endowment Commission for its fiscal years 2019 through 2023.
The report of the Housing, Health, Energy and Workers Rights Committee and Item seven opposes Resolution 318 72 approving the proposed budget framework of the Environment Endowment Commission for its fiscal year 2019 through 2023. The committee recommends the resolution be adopted. Councilmember Mosquito. Thank you, Mr. President. As I described this morning in council briefing, we have an opportunity to advance a resolution today that is really about an international treaty. I handed out a central staff memo from Eric McConaughey. Thank you again for providing that comprehensive analysis for our full committee partner or county council partners. Just very briefly, this is regarding the Skagit Environmental Endowment Commission or the CBC, which was established as part of the Ross Lake Seven Mile Reservoir Treaty, signed in 1984 between British Columbia and the city of Seattle. The SCC is made up of eight commissioners appointed by the Mayor of Seattle and eight appointed by the premier of British Columbia. The SEC's mission is the preservation and protection of natural and cultural resources and recreational opportunities of the Upper Skagit watershed through advocacy, international cooperation and strategic partnerships. Again, I want to thank my committee colleagues, Councilmember Suarez and Councilmember Bagshaw, for raising the question specifically about tribal relations and more importantly, tribal representation on this important board, which we're going to get more information about, I believe. The CDC administers the Skagit Environmental Endowment Fund Compromise of International I'm sorry, a compromise of initial contributions from Seattle and B.C. of 4,000,001 million, respectively, and annual supplemental payments from both parties based on power sales. The CSA prepares a budget on a five year cycle, which requires approval by the B.C. government and the city of Seattle. Finally, the CDC funds projects ranging from recreational enhancement to educational and ecosystem science. That's what we're funding today. And we will be getting more information to compare the projected five year budget going forward with what was expended in the last five years, which will be critical to help answer the questions that the Council currently has. Thanks so much for the approval of the Budget and 2015 to 2018 via resolution 31568 in 2015. This resolution approves the 2019 2013 budget and we recommend it for the full council passage. Thank you very much. Get any questions or comments? If not, let's vote those in favor of adopting the resolution. Please vote i i those opposed vote no.
