AN ORDINANCE relating to Washington Hall; authorizing the Director of the Department of Neighborhoods to enter into a memorandum of understanding with Historic Seattle Preservation and Development Authority to provide funds for improvements to Washington Hall.
To be part of the full council agenda. Item one Constable 1188 680 relating to the Washington Hall authorizing the Director of the Department of Neighborhoods to enter into a memorandum of Understanding with historic Seattle Preservation Development Authority to provide funds for improvements to Washington Hall. Councilmember Burgess. Thank you. As I explained in a briefing this morning, this legislation was considered in committee. We then found a technical error and so it was reintroduced directly to full council. However, the committee did pass a motion indicating that we would urge passage of this ordinance when it did come before the Council. This legislation relates to Washington Hall, which is located at 14th and East Chesler Way. It is a nonprofit organization run building in the Central District, and it's currently undergoing renovation. The ordinance provides authority for the director of the Department of Neighborhoods to enter into a memorandum of understanding with historic Seattle. The ordinance also changes the scope of work as originally proposed. Originally, it was narrowly scoped as an elevator project. But this ordinance broadens the scope of the renovation authority so that. More work can be done. With funds that. Remain for renovation. Thank you very much. Are there any further comments on this bill? If not, I move to pass Council Bill 118680. Second. It's been moved in. Second. Will the clerk please call the Raul Juarez I. O'BRIEN All right, so on. I beg. Burgess, I. GONZALEZ Hi. Herbal, I. Johnson President. Herald Hi. Nine in favor and unopposed. Thank you. The bill passes and the chair will sign it. Our part of the Civil Rights, Utilities, Economic Development and Arts Committee. Please, please read the report.
