As written minutes are before us. Any questions? Comments, changes. Seeing none. All those in favor please signify by saying i. I. Anybody opposed. The minutes are approved. So this brings us to proposed ordinance number 2018 0086. As I said at the outset, this item would make changes to the governance for for culture King County's cultural development authority . As I just noted, we had extensive public comment at our last meeting. And today we're going to take up both in this ordinance and a motion on a similar related topic. So I'm going to call on Staff Mary Bourguignon and Wendy Sue, who to brief both the ordinance and the motion up front, if you would, before we go into debate and deliberation. Thank you, Madam Chair. For the record, Mary Bergeron from the council staff. And I want to first acknowledge our colleague Leah Crinkle, Sofie, who took the lead on the analysis as well as the drafting of the various pieces of legislation and is not able to be here today. So I am filling in for her. I will start with a very quick overview of the ordinance, since you had an extensive briefing at your last meeting. The proposed ordinance 2018 0086 would, as you noted, make a number of changes to the oversight of fort culture. Those can be summarized in three specific areas. First, the for culture budget. The ordinance would require that the Council accept by motion four cultures board adopted budget prior to transferring funding to for culture in the next fiscal year. And the ordinance requires that for culture transmit the budget directly to the Council for the Council's review. Next, in terms of the four culture board appointment process, the proposed ordinance would change the composition of the board establishing nine positions that would be appointed by county council member by district, and then six appointments made by the county executive . In addition to the five ex-officio members as exist currently, the ordinance would also remove the requirements for a specific balance of expertize on the board. And then third, the for Culture Executive Director. The proposed ordinance would provide for the County Executive to appoint and the Council to confirm the four culture executive director recommended by the for Culture Board. The ordinance would also provide for the county to remove the executive director by ordinance. So that's a brief overview. Madam Chair, I think captures the main points in the proposed ordinance. Councilmember Lambert has a question. Thank you. There was some language in the the different kinds of expertizes that said business was an expertize. Is that language in or out at this point? There is general language in the ordinance about wanting to have, you know, various sort of interest in ability in arts and culture. But there were some specific call outs for different types of expertize that have been removed in the ordinance. And just a preview. Spoiler alert. I have an amendment to put those back in. Oh, that would be wonderful. I think business is a pretty important one to have. Okay, great. Thank you. So, could you tell me what it is? Sure. It's Page. 29 of your packet. And we are if you look at line 64 and you'll notice that what it says is, oh, sorry, no, this is the public art advisory committee, not the board. Hang on, I'm an I'm council member. I can get back to you on that. I'm going to need to get to the appropriate amendment and I'll be able to find it more quickly. Oh, there's only. About 20 of them, so I can't imagine. Thank you. It's just now I'm almost I am I am here. So the language that was removed from the in the proposed ordinance reads At least one director shall have expertize in arts. At least one director shall have expertize in public art. At least one director shall have expertize and heritage. At least one director shall have expertize in historic preservation and at least one director shall be from the business community. So that expertize language was stricken from the proposed ordinance in favor of the more geographic focus of having nine members appointed by Council member by district. Q Okay, great. Thank you. Okay. Any other questions about the ordinance before I ask staff to brief the motion? Councilmember TOMASKY Thank you, Madam Chair. Question on point on the last item with respect to the ordinance that removed those a column minimum expertize requirements, did the ordinance does the ordinance replace them or call for that expertize to be otherwise available to for culture? So for culture has a number of advisory committees and the proposed ordinance would retain those advisory committees and retain the expertize that is recommended for those advisory committees. See. So it moves the requirements over to the technical advisory committees to have each of those specialties correct. Okay. And has staff done any analysis on whether there's any change as a result of the available expertize, as a result of where that where those folks sit on a technical advisory committee versus the board? So I think. Mr. DEMBOSKY, two weeks ago in the panel discussion board members presented for cultures perspective that this would be a change in the composition of the board. Right. What the ordinance would do would is focus more on a geographic distribution for the board. Okay. I heard that they were removed. I heard that testimony. I didn't hear the part about the expertize being retained in the technical advisory board. So that actually is helpful to me. Yes. So there are four advisory committees to four culture and those each have a specific focus. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Any other questions or comments at this time? All right. Let's move on to briefing the motion, please. Thank you. Wendy Sue, who counsel, staff. And the next item on the agenda is proposed motion 2018 0155, which would establish a cultural development task force. Under the proposed motion, the County Executive in Council, in coordination with for culture, would convene a task force composed of local elected, local elected officials, representatives from Fort Culture, and then also
