The Report of the Seattle Public Utilities and Neighborhoods Committee Agenda Item 17 Council Bill 118525 Relating to street and sidewalk use. Addressing low impact development requirements in the City of Seattle's Phase one Municipal Stormwater National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System General Permit issued by the Washington State Department of Ecology. Thank you. That's sufficient there. Councilmember Meg shot this one. And the next item, which is 118523, are companion items. Earlier this year, this council approved changes in the city's stormwater code. And the stormwater code requires city departments to review all development related codes and rules that would encourage low impact development and remove any barriers to implementing these strategies. This bill amends the Seattle Municipal Code to integrate the low impact development into land development code standards and rules. Are you still excited and awake and not implementing the proposed legislation would be a violation of the city's permit. Such violation is subject to $37,500 fine per violation per day penalty. So we definitely want to pass this. This first one pertains to Seattle Department of Transportation and the next item. 118523. It's exactly the same. And it pertains to Seattle Public Utilities. And we recommend passage for both. Right. Any questions on item 17? Please call the role on the passage of the bill. Picture by Gordon Gonzalez Harrell. I. Lucara. I. Rasmussen and President Burgess seven in favor and opposed. The bill passes and the chair will sign it. Please read item 18 through the first semicolon.
