Agenda item six Council Bill 118671 Amending Ordinance 124927, which adopted the 2016 budget, including the 2016 2021 Capital Improvement Program, changing appropriations to various departments and budget control levels and from various funds in the budget. Creating new appropriations. Creating both exempt and nonexempt positions. Modifying positions, adding new projects, making cash transfers between various city funds. Revising project allocations for certain projects in the 2016 to 2021 CLP lifting a proviso revising project descriptions and ratifying and confirming certain prior acts all by a three quarter vote of the City Council. The committee recommends the bill pass as amended. Okay. I'm aware we have some amendments. Councilmember Burgess, go ahead and lead us through, please. So this is our first quarter budget supplemental ordinance for 2016. It accepts and authorizes for expenditure. The grants that we just received in the previous ordinance just passed about $8.4 million of this is related to the general sub fund and about 6.1 million of that is backed by grant revenue or other reimbursements. So the impact on the fund general fund is 2.3 million. This ordinance also involves a net increase in authorized employment positions in the city for 27.5 full time equivalent positions through the creation of 25 new positions. Thank you very much. Councilmember O'Brien, I believe you have an amendment to this bill. Would you like to address that now? I would. Thank you. On the agenda, there's actually two amendments listed. Amendment number five and number six. I want to just highlight that. Amended number five is not an amendment I'm bringing forward at this time. That was, we found another source for funding that work. So the public's tracking that work will continue, but not funded here. Amendment six on the agenda. I would like to move forward. So I would move to amend Council Bill 118671 Section three table by adding a new item three dot x x for general sub fund in the amount of $45,000, increasing the total for section three and then remembering accordingly that x x will be filled in with a number at some point after we get that to the clerk. And I think Councilmember Johnson has something similar. This would I discussed this a little bit at the council briefing today. This is related to funding for some analysis work of Seattle Municipal Court data. It's part of the bill zero Youth Detention and Citizen's Certificate of restoration work that we funded at the end of last year. What we found is that there's a bunch of useful information we would love to get out of the municipal court system. The data both need some clean up and then we need someone with some expertize to help us with some analysis on that. And this would fund that work between now and the end of the year to help us make some good policy decisions going forward. I second the motion. Okay. It's been moved in second and which will describe as amendment number six, which is basically amendment and section three of Council Bill 118671 for approximately $45,000, as described by Councilmember O'Brien. Are there any further comments on this particular amendment? All those in favor of the amendment, say I. I opposed. The ayes have it. Councilmember Johnson, I believe you have a minute as well. I do. Council President Help. I would like to move. Council bill moved to amend. Council Bill 118671 Section three table by deleting items 3.41 and 3.24 by reducing the amount in item 3.34 from 24266 to 16666. Inserting a new item three dot x x general sub fund in the amount of $150,000, and by adjusting the total for section three and remembering the items accordingly. Second. Okay. Another amendment I'll describe is amendment number seven by Councilmember Johnson has been moved in second act which amends council bill 118671 the same section three and the table. Are there any further comments regarding Councilmember Johnson's amendment? If if allowed, I'd love to speak to the amendment and just give a little flavor of why I'm bringing that forward. Council President. Please do. So. One of the things that I've heard very loud and clear from members of the public is I've taken on the responsibilities of planning and land. Is chair this year is the interest in having more commitments and conversations within the neighborhoods about various land use policies moving forward? The Housing Affordability Livability recommendations included reference to a Seattle City Council Resolution 31612, which require the mayor to convene at least one facilitated meeting on a suite of changes on zoning and land use regulations outlined in that resolution and each urban center village. I've heard pretty loud and clear from folks in the community that they're interested in density increases in their neighborhoods, but they'd like to have a voice and a say. So what these resources would do is allow for us as a city council to help a contract with some consulting communities and some community based organizations to do what I'm calling neighborhood based design charrette that would allow for neighborhoods to come together and talk about the growth strategies happening in their neighborhoods that they like and where they'd like to see additional growth targeted. I would have brought this amendment forward at our Wednesday. Affordable housing, neighborhood and Finance Committee meeting. But unfortunately, I was out of town for work, so I'm bringing it forward today. Per council member Burgess's request this identifies appropriate reduction within the general seven that about $92,000 from the Department of Construction Inspections, an Office of Planning and Community Development Funds. They had put in a request in the first quarter supplemental to support development of a legislation coordination application, which I talked to them about. And I think we'll be able to do some better facilitation among those departments using other resources. We have not yet identified the remainder of the 58,000 that would be necessary, but I've got some ideas and plan to bring those ideas forward as we get on to the second and third quarter supplemental budget discussions. So with with that, I will stop and answer questions if my colleagues might have them. Just a comment. I want to actually thank both you and councilmember ryan. Councilman brandi, your change really addresses and aligns with our zero use of detention policy in our assistance on reentry from those who are incarcerated. Thank you for doing a deeper dove in finding this. And Councilmember Johnson, again, thank you for really looking through the budget and finding a ways to make this important work accomplished. Thank you for that work. Councilmember Herbold, please. I wanted to speak to something that was included in the legislation as a result of the committee discussion and amendments in committee, specifically adding funding for the encampment cleaning functions that the council indicated back in February that it intended to fund in the first quarter supplemental. As we know, there's an ongoing issue with cleaning sites that have campers that have not been identified as priorities for for removal. And those those needs are increasing, as we've seen from the State of emergency homeless report that we get every couple of weeks. I'm very appreciative of folks within the executive, including the mayor's office and several executive departments, HST and SPU, and working with me to help identify some of the lessons that we've learned through our pilot project, so that when we go to scale with this effort, we are applying the use of these resources in a way that creates the the biggest, the biggest impact. And thanks to Council Chair Burgess as well, for allowing the room and his committee to have this discussion. Excellent. Any further comments, Councilman Burgess? Did you have any more words of wisdom? No, we. Got. Thank you. I don't believe we still have to vote on the amendment if that's in good standing. I thought I did vote on the amendment. I did not. We have voted on one row. Sure change. Your amendment has been moved. First of all, was there a second on Councilmember Johnson's? There's been moved on second. And to amend. Sure we didn't. No, sir. I got seven people that are wrong and one that's right. But I'm not going to go there. It's been moved. And second, the amendment has it been moved in second and all those in favor of Councilmember Johnson's amendment say I. I opposed the ayes have it. Okay. We have an amended bill in front of us. 118671. Are there any further comments? Please call the roll on the amended Bill Johnson. Whereas I O'Brien, I think. Burgess Gonzalez I Herbold I President Harrell I aid in favor and unopposed. The bill passes and the chair will sign it. Next agenda item, please.
