AN ORDINANCE authorizing the Director of Finance and Administrative Services or the Director’s designee to execute a lease with the Department of the Army for the City’s continued use of an approximately 13,000-square-foot warehouse facility at 1561 Alaskan Way South for the operation of the St. Martin de Porres Shelter for homeless men over the age of 50; and ratifying and confirming certain prior acts.
Thank you. The bill passed and Cher will gladly sign it. Thank you. Please read the next agenda item. Agenda item five Council 119 259. At the recent Director of Finance Administrative Services are the directors designee to execute a executed lease with the Department of Army for the city's continued use of an approximately 13,000 square foot warehouse facility at 1561 Alaskan Re South for the operation of Mount Saint Martin, the Borough's Shelter for homelessness. Homeless men over the age of 50 and I thank information and practice committee recommends the bill passed. Because we're in. Thank you. This space is a 13,000 square foot warehouse right down in Alaskan way near where the Coast Guard facility is. It's been operating for years. This will extend a five year lease so that the Catholic Community Services can continue to operate it. We were impressed and have been by the quality of services offered and I urge this body to support this lease. Normally the FEMA director would be able to sign it, but since it's 13,000 square feet, that exceeds his authority of 9000. Thank you very much indeed for the comments. Councilmember Skater Thank you, Mr. President. And I just want to say thank you for bringing this bill forward. Councilmember Bagshaw I also think this is a good example of where we as a city can be looking at all publicly available land either to house folks who are homeless right now or to build affordable housing. Just a quick plug for those who didn't have the benefit of coming to our committee last week, we had a presentation from Emma Leonard and folks at Enterprise, along with Future Wise, who looked at every parcel of available public land, including federally owned land, school board owned land, city, county, state, you name it, including non-profits. And I think as we look for places to create housing for those who are unsheltered in future affordable housing, permanent supportive housing. This is a great example of where we should be repurposing, especially Army land that's no longer being used. So I got my eyes set on a few more parcels and look forward to working with you to make it possible. Thank you. Okay. Please call the roll on. The pastor of the Bill.
