Every part of the public assets and Native Communities committees. Agenda Item one Constable 119964 relating to the sale department authorizing the Sale Center Director to execute the Third Amendment to the facility. Use and Occupancy Agreement between the City of Seattle and the sale of Repertory Theory Theater. The committee recommends the City Council. Pass the bill. Thank you so much, Madam Clerk. Councilmember Suarez, as chair of the committee, you are recognized in order to provide the committee report. Thank you. So the Seattle Repertory Theater, like the rest of Seattle's arts community is facing, has faced severe economic challenges as they will be unable to hold in-person performances until the governor's restrictions are lifted to address the challenges caused by the pandemic. This proposed Third Amendment to the 1996 agreement would remove the obligation for the Seattle Repertory Theater to make their 2019 and 2020 fiscal year contributions to the fund. The 2019 Fund is 170,000 $571,000. And that 220,000. Fiscal year contribution is 174 836,000. So since they're not since they're unable to make that contribution to the fund, we want to move to make sure that we can allow them to use the fund for operating expenses through July through June, I'm sorry, 30th, 2022. I will clarify why 2019 is listed. While COVID struck beginning of 2020. The 2019 fiscal year contributions to the fund were due June 2020. But because of the pandemic, the schedule was not met. So basically the obligation for the Seattle Repertory Theater to make these donation. I'm not donations. These contributions couldn't be done in light of COVID. The SEAL Repertory Theater would be required to maintain a minimum balance of $160,000 in the fund. The fund, which is owned and managed by the Seattle Repertory Theater and per the 1996 agreement was to have been used solely for replacement, maintenance and repair purposes of the Bagley Rite Theater. The Salem Repertory Theater was founded in 1963 under the leadership of Bagley. Right. It is one of the oldest resident organizations on the Seattle Center campus. So the after our committee hearing last week, the Public Assets and Native Keys Committee would recommend that council pass council bill 119964. Thank you. Thank you so much, Governor Juarez. Are there any additional comments on the bill? Oh, there we go. Yes. Memorable, please. Thank you so much. I just want to express my thanks and appreciation, as I did in Committee to Seattle Center for working to address the dire needs of our arts organizations in this really difficult time and really appreciate sort of understanding that the the efforts of the city to to meet those needs will not have a negative impact on the ability of the theater to address maintenance needs, but will put the theater on better footing for when they are aiming to reopen. So thanks to Director Dellums for. His and his staff's work on this. Thank you. Councilmember Herbold, are there any other comments on the bill? All right. Hearing none. Will the clerk please call the roll on the passage of the bill? PETERSON Yes. Strauss. Yes. Suarez I. HERBOLD Yes. Lewis Yes. Morales Yes. Macheda i president gonzalez. I h in favor and unopposed.
