A RESOLUTION superseding and replacing the language in Statement of Legislative Intent, 281-1-B-2, adopted in Resolution 31795.
Adoption of other resolutions Agenda item three Resolution 31817 Superseding them and replacing the language and statement of legislative intent 2280 11b2 adopted in Resolution 317 95. Councilmember O'Brien. Thank you. Two to the purpose of this resolution is to supersede the statement of legislative intent to a one dash, 1-b-2 that was included as part of last year's budget deliberations. The reason we're replacing that SLI is that we've had further conversations, the executive and made some simple modifications to the scope of work in that SLI, including language that adds a stakeholder process, including a stakeholder process, including service providers and labor representation and human service civic leaders. With this would do is two basic things would clarify the report back from the statement alleged that intent would be discussed in councilmember mosquitoes, housing, health, energy and workers rights committee. And it adds that the report back shall include a summary of that stakeholder process. The the bill that's on the referral calendar actually need to substitute of version D two for version d1b to have the proper version in front of us. And you should have received that via email before noon today. So I will avoid the chastising after the meeting on this one. Only that. Okay, let's do the amendment first and then we get have some discussion. So I'll move to substitute version d1b with version D 2/2. Has been moved in second to a minute by the substitution as described by Councilmember Brian. All those in favor of the amendment. Please vote I. I oppose. The ayes have it. So now we have an amended version of it. And Councilmember Mosqueda, does you have a comment? Sure, please. Thank you very much, Mr. President. And thanks again for your work to shepherd this statement of legislative intent through last year. I'm really excited that the stakeholder group has been convened, happy that the executive wants to make sure that we are being explicit in our in our commitments to making sure that we're bringing folks to the table by updating this resolution. I also think this ties in very nicely to the conversations we've had over the last few months. Our intent is to make sure that we are serving the most vulnerable, those who are homeless, those who might be on the verge of falling into homelessness by making sure that they have access to highly trained , highly skilled and highly trusted workforce. We talked a lot about this as it related to the employees hours tax and the spending plan. I think that the work that you have begun here is incredibly critical for us to create trust. Right now, many of these entities have a 30 to 40% turnover rate, a 30 to 40% rate and vacancies in terms of trusted partners. We also know that some of these critical positions, such as a chemical dependency counselor, which requires a master's degree, often starts around $33,000 a year. And in a city like Seattle, when we have a crisis of homelessness, we have to both be looking at creating the housing, building the housing that our community needs, and also making sure that there's a stable workforce to provide services to this vulnerable population. So I'm very excited about this. I think this directly ties in to workforce stabilization and happy to have this in my committee. I appreciate that. Thank you. Casper and ROSQUETA, any further comments or concerns if not? All those in favor of approving the amended resolution. Please vote i. I. All those opposed guys have it. And the resolution is passed and will be signed. Please read the next agenda item. Agenda. Agenda item for resolution 31818. Retiring, introduced and referred.
