Agenda Item two Resolution 31801. Calling for a review of current methods for collecting data on Native communities and potential strategies for improving such data collection and exploration of the need for capacity building for organizations seeking to assist. Native Communities Committee recommends that the resolution be adopted. Councilmember Wallis. Thank you, President Harrell. First off, I'd like to recognize that when we had our committee meeting hearing last Wednesday, it was a historic day and that we had elected tribal leadership at the table. But it was also historic because it was the first time that we've actually had Native American service providers who actually provide services in the city of Seattle for our Native American brothers and sisters at the table. Saladin Health Board. Mother Nation. Chief Seattle. I'm forgetting someone. United Indians. For the first time in municipal government, best of our knowledge has formalized a legislative voice for native leaders, native social service providers and the tribes. This resolution requests that all city departments begin collecting meaningful demographic data on our city's native populations. It came to my attention that many of our city departments do not have a practice of collecting demographic data of our people. Current practices do not accurately reflect the lived experience of native of the native population or allow service providers to satisfy all of our residents unmet needs. It's critical we have this information captured to best understand how our native communities are affected by homelessness and housing affordability, health care, access to justice and education. We also have the concurrence of my major I'm sorry, Mayor Durkan, on this resolution. For that, I ask and urge my colleagues to support this resolution. Thank you, Councilmember. Whereas any further questions on this resolution? I just want to say. COUNCILMEMBER whereas thank you for. But in the midst of this controversial issue we just passed really thinking through and sort of peeling the onion back a little more to seeing what we can do to support native native communities in terms of capacity building and the investments which I'm sure you will argue for during the budget. During budget, I am going to be all up in it. Okay. Thank you very much for that. Having said that, all those in favor of adopting the resolution, please vote i. I those opposed vote no. The motion carries the resolutions dropped in chair will sign it. Very good. Thank you. Um. So. I'm sorry. Adoption of other resolutions. I don't think we have any other resolutions. So other business. So we do have a matter for other business that would have to describe. So pursuant to our S.W. 41.5 6.160. And in order for the City of Seattle to achieve compliance with the Washington State Public Employment Relations Commission's order Indecision 12809, the clerk will now read the following notice into the record, and I turn the mic over to the Madam Clerk. Notice to your employee stated What gives you the right to form joiner assistant employee organization bargain collectively with your employer through a union chosen by a majority of employees. Refrain from any and all of these activities except you may be required to make payments to a union or charity under a lawful union security provision. The Washington State Public Employment Relations Commission conducted a legal proceeding and ruled that the city of Seattle committed to unfair legal practice and ordered us to post this notice to employees. We unlawfully refused to bargain by establishing the wage rate for the PSM assigned crew coordinator position without providing the union with notice of an opportunity for bargaining . We unlawfully established the selection procedure to fill the permanent PSM assigned crew coordination position without providing the union notice and an opportunity to bargain to remedy our unfair labor practices. We will give notice and upon request, negotiate in good faith with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 77 over the effects of our decision to create the PSM assigned crew coordinator position. Thank you very much. A copy of the notice will be appended to the minutes of this meeting, as required by the agency's order. That concludes that matter. Is there any further business coming for the Council? If not we stand in your would have a great rest of the day.
