Will the clerk please affix my signature to the legislation? Item nine Are there any comments on resolution 31975? Agenda item nine. As members of what you are recognized. Thank you. This bill gives the city the authority to do budget cuts to the Parks Department larger than would have would otherwise legally be allowed. I have argued that this budget is an austerity budget, cutting essential funds from departments like Seattle Parks and Recreation. Shockingly, some council members have claimed that the cuts do not exist. But if the cuts do not exist, then council members would not have any reason for this bill making the cuts to be legally allowed. In the Budget Committee meeting last Thursday, my office and the People's Budget Movement fought for a budget amendment to increase the tax rate of the Amazon tax to prevent all budget cuts across the city. If council members had supported that, then this bill authorizing cuts would not have been necessary. Unfortunately, no other council member voted yes on that approach. While this bill is only necessary to excuse the cuts to the general fund, the reality is that there are even more drastic cuts to other parts funding. There is an alternative to budget cuts and my office will continue to fight for it. So I will be voting no on this bill authorizing cuts to community centers, pools and park maintenance. Thank you. Actually comes from a salon. Are there any additional comments on resolution 31975? Agenda item nine. Hearing, no additional comments will occur.

DG Council President, colleagues, this is an increase in wastewater rates that's passed through from King County. And we do have a statement of legislative intent that was approved at committee to look deeper into this issue where these rates from King County are just passed directly on to our ratepayers here in Seattle. So I will be reluctantly voting yes on this. We don't really have much choice because they're passed through, but we are going to be looking into this further in the future. Thank you. Appreciate that. Reminder, Councilmember Peterson, any additional comments on agenda item 11 Council Bill 119916. Hearing no additional comments.
