AN ORDINANCE adopting the Initial Health through Housing Implementation Plan to govern the expenditure of sales and use tax proceeds authorized by K.C.C. chapter 4A.503 and RCW 82.14.530 from 2022 through 2028 and creating the health through housing advisory committee; and adding a new section to K.C.C. chapter 4A.300.
And that takes us to our first item on today's agenda, which is the proposed health through housing implementation plan. We had an initial briefing on this item at our last meeting. The ordinance was duly referred to the Regional Policy Committee and the Committee as a whole. It was amended and passed by the Regional Policy Committee last week. It was Sanders supporter and Cherie Sue from council staff were here to provide the staff report. And Ms.. Sanders, are you leading off today? Yes, I am. Thank you. Good morning. Good morning. April Sanders, council policy staff. As you said, I'm joined today by my colleagues Sam Porter and Sherri Sue. The materials for item five began on page eight of your packet. Proposed ordinance 2020 10330 would adopt the initial Health three housing implementation plan to govern the expenditure of health through housing sales and use tax proceeds. We last briefed this in CAO on November 2nd, so I won't go through the entire staff report or rather review what action took place in our PC last week. This item received a mandatory dual referral and was amended and passed by the Regional Policy Committee. Last Wednesday. The APC passed a series of amendments which are summarized on page 26 of your packet. The RPC passed or sorry, Amendment one amended any reporting requirements in the ordinance language. In the underlying ordinance, the committee is required to annually send a letter to the Executive and the Clerk of the Council to notify them that the committee's annual reporting through website update is available for review. The amendment required the annual report to be transmitted by the Executive on behalf of the Advisory Committee, as well as a motion acknowledging receipt of the report, the clerk would be required to provide an electronic copy to all council members as well as members and alternates of the RPC. Amendment to replace Attachment eight with the revised Attachment eight that made various technical corrections and clarifications in the initial implementation plan. The remaining amendments amended that revised Attachment Day Amendment three required notification to the Regional Policy Committee members and alternates for any substantive budget changes. Note that in the proposed implementation plan, substantive budget changes are defined as a change or series of changes within the same calendar year. The change a health or housing strategies annual allocation by more than the greater of 5% or $150,000. Amendment four removes the preference for advisory committee members to be from cities that did not separately impose the sales tax. Amendment five prohibited more than one fourth of the advisory committee from being from a single jurisdiction. And lastly, Amendment six made a series of changes on annual reporting requirements. The amendment removed the line stating that the Healthy Housing Dashboard update would be used to satisfy annual reporting requirements, and it added information that would be included in that dashboard. It stated that the annual report is to be transmitted by the Executive on behalf of the Advisory Committee and that the Clerk would provide an electronic copy to all councilmembers and members and alternates of our P.S.. The annual report would be accompanied by a motion acknowledging receipt of support a report similar to the language that was amended in Amendment one. In the ordinance itself, this amends the implementation plan, and it said that passage of that motion acknowledging receipt of the report would satisfy the reporting requirement. Lastly, it added the IRP to the list of committees that DC Jess would be prepared to present the annual report to upon invitation. That brings me to the end of amendments. It was passed again out of our PC last Wednesday, so we have a substitute version in front of you today. Mark Ellenbrook, Mario Williams Suite and Kelly Rider are on the line from DC. As for any executive questions. Your colleagues questions. What's. Your mother would entertain emotion. The structures discussed one to Moscow move adoption of the legislation with the do pass recommendation. Thank you. Councilmember Dombrowski was moved to give a to pass recommendation to ordinance 2021 2030. Would miss Sanders is just breathless and we have executive staff. If there are questions but this is the implementation plan for health through housing and as with Sanders just reported has been through the regional policy three with amendments there and provides the structure and the framework for continuing the health through housing program in the coming years. That is, speaking for myself. I'm beginning to have great success in providing housing and support to people that have experienced chronic homelessness. And this intervention is proving very successful and I'm glad to have it before us. Similar further comments. I would ask the court to please call the rule. Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm sorry.
