Agenda item to council bill 120236 An ordinance relating to city streets changing the name of the portion of Thomas Street between First Avenue North and Second Avenue North to Lenni Wilkins way and superseding the relevant portions of Ordinance 404 for Ordinance 89910 Ordinance 102981 and any other ordinance to the extent inconsistent and ratifying and confirming certain prior acts. And so my move to pass a council bill to set. Is there a second? Second. And Kim Petersen as sponsor of 0ur recognized in order to address this item. Thank you. Council President Pro Tem Herbold, colleagues, as I mentioned during this morning's council briefing, this council bill 120236 follows up on resolution 32019 that we recently adopted unanimously to change a portion of Thomas Street near Seattle Center to Leonie Wilkins Way. Leonie Wilkins is, of course, the legendary basketball star, coach and philanthropist. And while the resolution added an honorary designation, the streets adopting this ordinance is stronger and more permanent because it legally changes the street name. As noted in the summary fiscal note, our Seattle Department of Transportation will create and install the signs at a modest cost, which is already covered by their existing street sign budget. I join the Durkan Administration in encouraging its passage today. Thank you. Thank you. Number ten, are there any additional comment on the bill? Just seeing none with Clark. Please call the roll on the package. Whereas I. Lewis Yes. Rosetta. I. Peterson Hi. Sergeant. Yes. Strauss Yes. Council President Pro Tem Herbold. Yes. Seven in favor and unopposed. Thank you so much. The bill passes and the chair will sign. It will be the signature legislation on my behalf. Item number three will please read item three at the record.
