AN ORDINANCE related to appropriations for the Human Services Department; amending Ordinance 125207, which adopted the 2017 budget; lifting a proviso; and ratifying and confirming certain prior acts.
We lost our fans on that, but that's okay. Please read the Human Services in Public Health Committee Agenda item into the record, please. The report of the Human. Services and Public Health Committee and Item three Council 118 943 relating to preparations for the Human Services Department and many Ordinance 125207, which adopt the 2017 budget lifting provides and verifying confirming certain prior acts. The committee recommends the bill passed as amended. That's very big. Show. Thank you very much. And after what we've just gone through, one say thank you, Councilmember Gonzalez, Councilmember Burgess, for this. So this one's going to be quick. Last November, during our fall budget, we placed a proviso holding 475 $5,000 in finance general so that our Human Services Department could design what we called the Community Connector program that would be co-located with food banks in Seattle. They came back to us in my Human Services Committee last week, provided the outline on how they want to proceed. The cost will be less than originally thought. $355,000. We're going to have the pilot gathering the necessary data so we can know how many people are positively helped, what kinds of help do they get? How did they actually get the service there on the spot as contrasted to be handed, another phone number or another contact? I'm very interested in seeing what we can do to get the utility discount program or capacities and other things available for people when they show up. So with that, we're recommending that the proviso be lifted and the committee recommended unanimously that we do so and vote on it in this committee today. Thank you very much, Councilmember. Actually, any further comments? If not, please call the roll on the passage of the bill. Suarez O'Brian. High Swan. Bagshaw. Burgess. Gonzalez. Herbold High Johnson. President Harrell. All nine in favor and unopposed. Thank you. The bill passed and share with Senate. Please read agenda item number four.
