Agenda in five council 119 272 amending ordinance 125 493 which amended the 2018 budget. Including the 2018 through 2023 capital improvement program. The committee recommends the bill passed as amended. Thank you. Rachel. Thank you. So the first quarter supplemental budget provides expenditure authority to use the grants that we just accepted for other budget revisions that are requested by various city departments. It is the collective of approximately $17 million. The 13.4 that we just accepted and plus an additional almost $4 million. These will be used for various sub fund projects. The largest one is $10 million in our judgment and claims fund to cover the cost of settlements and judges. There will be initial 2.3 million for the Seattle Police Department, 1.8 million for reconstruction of Woodland Park Zoo's night exhibit, and $1.3 million of General Fund for Finance General Reserves to support funding for city obligations to King County for various election and voter registration costs. There is more. If you don't have any questions, I'm just going to recommend that we adopt 119272. Any further comments concerned Johnson? This is the infamous sidewalk amendment that we talked about in council briefing, and we heard some testimony about this afternoon here in full council. So I would move adoption of Amendment seven B second. Then moved in second, Councilmember Johnson's Amendment seven B, are there any further comments on just the amendment piece comes premature to want. I totally support sidewalks, safe sidewalks that are accessible to everyone, especially and including children and our elderly and disabled community members. However, I intend to vote no on this amendment. It would take half a million dollars intended for city wide school pedestrian safety and reserved exclusively for a three block stretch of sidewalk near your village. What the Seattle Department of Transportation should do with this money is use their knowledge and expertize to select the neighborhoods with the least safe pedestrian access to schools and allocated their. If there are no school safety needs immediately, then as DOD should use the money for sidewalks in areas in the city of greatest need. As I mentioned, I think the whole city deserves safe sidewalks, including this neighborhood, and I totally support the neighborhood residents who have come to advocate for it. But when deciding which neighborhood should get the funding first, I think that the city should be deciding that based on a fair determination of greatest needs. Taking equity into account. And above all, I think I just wanted to echo what Gordon Tuttle, four from Seattle neighborhood Greenway said that the city council should be pushing for as he got him bold funding solutions, progressive revenue sources to ensure safe neighborhoods throughout the city. Because again, as you said, there are large swaths of the city that are lacking safe sidewalks and safe neighborhoods. Thank you. Council members want any further comments from Councilman John? So he'd like to speak. If I may. Just two quick points. I think, one, just to make sure that my colleagues are clear here, this is $500,000 in school safety traffic pedestrian improvement fund that didn't exist. This money has come from higher than expected red line traffic camera violations. So it is new money, for lack of a better term. Secondly, the the neighborhood, as you heard a little bit during public comment, has had a whole lot of impacts coming from the University Village. University Village is set to build a big parking garage and that big parking garage resulted in mitigation funds coming to the Department of Transportation a little more than half a million dollars. The neighborhood was hoping that that money would be used for this particular sidewalk. The department has decided to allocate that money towards traffic signal improvements, which likely will result in more people driving through the neighborhood more speedily than they already do today. So this, we think, is a set of investments that will help get folks more safely to the places they need to go to. And I want to thank those who are hoping to support this. Thank you. Any further comments from any of our colleagues before we're voting and we're just voting on the amendment for right now. I'll call it seven. Be okay. All those in favor of Amendment seven be as advanced by Councilmember Johnson. Please vote I. I oppose vote no, no, no. If the motion passes and now we're going to go back to the base legislation because I'm back. Would you like to see two more words about. No, I think I've said what needs to be said about the committee unanimously recommended adoption, and I support Councilmember Johnson's amendment. So as as amended, I would like to put this forward. Okay. For the comments, please call the rule on the passage of the Bill O'Brien. Hi, Suzanne. I beg your. Hi. Gonzalez Herbold Johnson Suarez Mascara President Harrell Hi nine in favorite on a post. Person show sign please read the next agenda item the short title please. I think one six.
