We will expedite that. We will expedite it. No, you are proposed. Next, we have proposed ordinance number 2017 0501, which would implement the the changes to the reporting as discussed today. And I would accept a motion to move that forward without recommendation. Madam Chair, I'd like to move Ordinance 2017 0501 without recommendation. Thank you. It's been moved and is before us. There are two amendments. Councilmember Lamour, can I ask you to put Amendment One before us and then we'll ask Tara to explain what the amendment does. Okay. I'd like to move amendment number one. All right. Thank you very much. Amendment one is before us. Can you please describe Amendment One? Of course. So Amendment One concerns three public records related reports that would be combined by the proposed ordinance. And those reporting requirements are identified as 45 C and 60. And background information about these reporting requirements can be found on page ten of the handout. So in order to combine these three requirements, the proposed ordinance sets up sort of a two step process. Reporting requirement for C requires each agency to report on performance in responding to public records request during the previous year and in current code that's due to council by April 1st. And current practice has been agencies submit them some combined and some individual. So we end up getting a lot of reports. So instead of transmitting these to council first, the proposed ordinance requires that these be four submitted to the Public Records Committee, and then by February 15th and then the Public Records Committee would back up these agency reports with the two reports, five, C and six, so that they are responsible for and transmit this combined report to council. By March 1st. After introduction of the ordinance, executive staff indicated that it wouldn't be possible for agencies to meet the February 15th deadline, and so Amendment One would change the dates in the process I just described . So the agency reports would be due to the Public Purpose Committee by March 20th instead of February the February 20th date in the proposed ordinance, and would make the transmittal deadline to council for the combined report to be April 1st instead of March 1st. I have a question about that. As you as you laid it out, it sort of was came clear to me, is that really enough time between March 20th and April 1st for the Public Records Committee to do their work of combining them and getting them transmitted to us? That's only 11 days. I reached out to executive staff and they indicated that it would be okay. Okay. Maybe it's just a ministerial act that they have because they all have been working on their reports already and then just combine them and send them on over. That works. We don't need to take more time than it takes. All right. Any questions or comments on Amendment one? Seeing none. All those in favor of Amendment one to Ordinance 2017 0501. Please signify by saying I any opposed. All right. We also have an amendment to Councilmember Lambert. Would you put that before us? Thank you, Madam Chair. I've moved item number two. All right. Amendment two is before us. Chair, would you also please brief Amendment two or so? Amendment two concerns Section 24 of the proposed ordinance and relates to the county's project control officer reporting requirement. I. Currently the Project Control Officer transmits a quarterly report that concerns compliance with King County's construction management policies and procedures, and this is referred to as 14 C. And the attachment this reporting requirement is was one of the the ones that comparability she mentioned that is required by motion and is not codified. So Section 24 of the proposed ordinance would codify reporting requirement 14 C while changing the frequency from quarterly to annual and in reviewing motion 13 zero 26, which is the enacting legislation for this requirement, staff discovered another reporting requirement related to summarizing findings in regards to changes in scope, schedule and budget, referring to capital projects and this reporting requirement would also be codified by the proposed ordinance. Executive staff have indicated, however, that their current practice has been to transmit one quarterly report that complies with both 14 C as well as the reporting requirement. That I just describe regarding scope, schedule and budget. And so Amendment two would combine these two reporting requirements in the proposed ordinance to align with the project control officer's current practice. And then this combined report would be transmitted to council annually. All right. Any questions about that? See? None. All those in favor of amendment to please signify by saying i. I any opposed. All right. Are there any other amendments for proposed ordinance 2017 0501c? None. Brings us to final passage. I just want to say a word before we call for the vote. This is like one of those things. This is one of those projects that I don't know why anybody would ever take it up. It's there's there's there's no glory in this. There's there's no headlines. I don't know that our constituents will ever notice or care, but we are taking a step toward making King County government more effective for those staff members who have important jobs out there that are providing us information that we need. In other ways, we're now sort of removing one potentially meaningless task, some of these which have accumulated over the years. So I think it's very, very worthwhile, but it's kind of one of those unsexy things that I just really appreciate everybody's time and energy to work on it because you can't put it on a resume, but you've done a great job and I think this is going to really pay some dividends for the county, and I appreciate everyone's time with it. With that, let's call for the roll to move ordinance 2017 0501 to full council without recommendation. Thank you, Madam Chair. Councilmember Dombrowski. Councilmember Dunn. Hi. Councilmember Garson. Councilmember Coble. Councilmember Lambert. Councilmember McDermott. Hi. Councilmember up the Grove. Councilmember Voting rights are high. Madam Chair. Hi, Madam. Chair. The vote is eight. Eight no. Nos. Councilmember Gossett excuse. Very good by your vote. The motion that the motion carries and we will expedite that to full council. Thank you. Thank you both very much for all your work on this. This was Terry's first really big project that she started a while ago now when she was moved into this position. So congratulations on getting your part of it. Almost done. Summer All right. You know, I realize that we did not ever call the roll, so perhaps we could do that task before we get too much further towards the end of the meeting.
