Report on the Civic Development of Public Assets and Native Communities Committee Agenda Item eight Council 119 475 Relating to the Seattle Department of Parks and Recreation and Seattle Public Utilities transferring partial jurisdiction over a portion of the West Wing mini park from the Seattle Department of Parks Recreation to the Seattle Public Utilities Committee recommends the bill pass . Councilmember words. Thank you. Council President I believe on the agenda, items 8 to 12 are all mine and they're all very riveting. So everybody pay attention as a joke, everybody. Item number eight This legislation would transfer partial jurisdiction for the subsurface area of parking, recreating in landscape portion of the West Wing mini park from Seattle, Department of Parks and Recreation to Seattle Public Utilities. This allows the construction of a combined sewer underground micro tunnel from Ballard, Fremont, Wallingford and North Queen n neighborhoods. The storage tunnel would be 2.7 miles long between Ballard and Wallingford to temporarily hold peak combined sewage flows that exceed system capacity. In addition, the transfer means the requirements of Seattle meets the requirements of Seattle missile code and federal water quality regulations. This is necessary because there is no reasonable and practical alternative location for the Underground Micro Tunnel and associated internal facilities. And if the city does not utilize the West Union mini park parcel for the alignment of this micro tunnel, it would require significant engineering and redesign and an capital costs for a new alignment. The committee passed unanimously and we recommend that the City Council pass this bill today. Thank you very much. Are there any questions or comments? Nat, please call the rule on the passage of the bill. Gonzalez I herbold i johnson suarez I must get to the where I am. So what, major? President Harrell. All right. Nine in favor. None opposed to the bill passed and chair of the senate please read the next agenda item.
