Agenda item six Cancel 1190 22 Amending Ordinance 125207, which adopted the 2017 budget, including 2017 through 2022 Capital Improvement Program. The committee recommends the bill passes amended. Councilmember Burgess, Thank you. This is the second quarter budget supplemental ordinance. We do this each quarter as we go through the year. This makes adjustments to the city budget that we adopted for this year. Last fall, for example, there's a $10 million allocation to Seattle City Light to respond to customer requests for utility connections and pole attachments that will be repaid to the city through fees that city light charges. We also in committee amended the ordinance to approve to video technology specialist for the police department. We had approved funding for these positions last fall but because the body worn video camera. Jack was not ready to be implemented at the time. We did not give authority for the positions. Now that that program is moving forward, this gives authority for the police department to hire these two video technology specialists. There's also a $75,000 ad from Councilmember O'Brien to assist the Magnuson Park Community Center. What's wrong, Councilmember Johnson? Excuse me. Councilmember Johnson. That's right. You weren't here, but it was Councilmember Johnson. Sorry. My apologies. Being Councilmember Wise. And assist with the Magnuson Park Community Center and some services there for primarily for young people and children there. And then there's funding for the city auditor who is awarding a contract to the Seattle King County Health Department to assist with baseline research and evaluation that needs to be done for the city's new sweetened beverage tax, which takes effect in January. This baseline work is necessary to establish a baseline for something to be compared to. As we move forward with the tax and this $480,000 for that work will be repaid out of the proceeds from the beverage tax. Any questions or comments? Councilmember Johnson. Just want to say a quick thank you to my colleagues for supporting that amendment coming out of committee. Folks in the park have continued to identify issues that they would like the city council to keep on our radar screen. This was a first opportunity for us to identify some short term wins, which included supporting services for expanded hours at the community center, as well as supportive services through funding through the Human Services Department. I also want to bring to the public's attention that there was funding in this proposed second quarter supplemental to have the Facilities and Services Department hire a consultant Round Charles Street Campus Development Plan, which would effectively start the discussions that many in the Chinatown International District asked us to do for several years now and consider disposition of public lands on the Charles Street campus for redevelopment for affordable housing and community ownership. So two really good adds as part of the discussion. Looking forward to voting yes. Very good. And for the comments. Caspar Herbold. Thank you. I just want to thank the City Budget Office for including some funding in the second quarter supplemental that I became aware of the need for during our discussions in the first quarter supplemental. During that time, I discovered that there was a 2000 Seattle Department of Transportation's study that identified 24 High Priority Street segments, a high priority for landslide mitigation, and discovered that 17 years later, we're only seven on on the list. I raised this as an issue and it did not does not require any sort of amendment did not require an amendment within within committee because the city budget office added 1.37 million into the second quarter supplemental to address several of these High Priority Street segments that are on this list of 24. The six different segments that this this funding will now go towards towards addressing. And we also have a commitment from the city budget office to get us back on track with completing the other high priority segments on this 2000 year study. Thank you. Excellent. No further comments. Please call the roll on the passage of the bill. Maurice O'Brien. Bagshaw. Burgess. Gonzales, Herbold II Johnson, President Harrell I eight in favor and unopposed.
