It designates a number of positions exempt from civil service system as 11 positions will be exempted.

We also reached out to the labor unions to make sure that all applicable and interested unions had been involved in the conversations.

Agenda Item 17 Council Bill 119 642 Relating to city emergency purchases of goods and services. The committee recommends the bill pass. Because of my objection. Thank you. And had a last minute meeting. Barb Graff came our excellent emergency manager. And I want to first of all say thank you to her. She's going to be with us for another four months, has done stellar work. And it's her recommendation that this ordinance align emergent emergency management code with the purchasing and contracting code in the event of emergencies. And the example that she used at the table was last last February when we had snow, that nobody expected that late in February and we ran out of salt and she was able to obtain that . But based upon low bid, using the regular process that requires competitive solicitations, we will still do that whenever possible. But if there is something that is as an emergency needs, such as that, this legislation would allow her office to move forward, get what we need, and have us in line with federal FEMA requirements. So that's what this bill does. And we recommend passage. Very good. Any questions or comments? Please call the rule on the passage of the bill HERBOLD Whereas. Mr. O'Brien. I. Pacheco. I. Want.

Agenda Item 18 Council Bill 119 629 Relating to appropriations for the Human Services Department in many ordinance 125 724, which adopt the 2019 Budget, the committee recommends the bill pass. Spirit back show. Thank you. So last year you will recall during our budget we placed a proviso on the piece of our sweetened beverage tax public awareness campaign with a concern that we have the department come back and tell us more about what they were doing, what they would spend that money on, and what results they were expecting. So we're allowing our Human Services Department to move forward with a $1.7 million appropriation and the proviso will be lifted. And the report submitted in August will outline specifically, as we had asked for the activities to be funded, the qualify the qualifications expected of a communication firm, further collaboration with our CAB and a project timeline for the media awareness campaign. So we were we recognized that what we'd ask for has been accomplished and we move to pass this council bill lifting the proviso. Any questions or comments, please call the roll on the passage of the bill. Herbold Juarez. Macheda O'Brien Pacheco Sarwan Bagshaw High Gonzalez President Harrell High eight in favor none oppose. Bill Parsons Cheryl Senate. Please read the next agenda in the short title. Agenda Item 19 Council Bill 119 641 Relating to Property Standpoint. Can we recommend Scott pass. This round back. Show? Thank you. This legislation will authorize our Office of Housing to enter into a 30 year lease and renewable for an additional 30 years if needed. With our low income Housing Institute for Property at Sandpoint, at Magnuson Park and Lehigh will develop 2225 Studio A, one bedroom cottages for people who are formerly home homeless. And I mentioned this morning how pleased I am with this. And I want to give thanks again to our former speaker of the House, Frank Chopp, working with Councilmember Mesquita. Really great idea to move forward. These cottages will be a step up from the tiny homes that we have authorized around the city. They have toilets. They have running water. They have small kitchenette in each. They will cost roughly $150,000. So they're substantially more than our tiny homes. But I believe that we really want to have a continuum available housing. And this is a good first step. And we recommend that we pass this ordinance to allow these cottages to be built. Thank you, Councilmember Becky Shaw. Any questions or comments? Customer Mosquito. Thank you very much, Mr. President. I want to thank Councilmember Bagshaw for including this item in her committee and for the generous time and table discussion that was had on the piece of legislation. We're talking about $3 million that the state provided for innovative housing models that can help us reduce the cost of building affordable housing. And we know that we can reduce the cost of building when we do it on public lands. The Sandpoint Community Cottage Project is a result of us being smart with public land, engaging the community out there who's very supportive of this, partnering with Lehigh to make sure that these community cottages are really built and that our community colleges also have a role in helping to be a component of this project. I wanted to call out specifically that the project is going to bring in worker and worker rights by including apprenticeship opportunities with the trades to help fabricate and construct the housing units and providing learning opportunities so that folks can get a good living wage job and access to a union. This is exactly the model that we hope for will continue to be replicated as we create more affordable housing across the city. So thanks to Councilwoman Bagshaw, to the Speaker of the House, will former Speaker Frank Chopp, and to the House members who've continued to give us more tools in our toolkit to try to build more affordable housing, especially on publicly owned lands. And as we build the housing, it's not just homes and units. We're talking about a common building, community garden, outdoor, outdoor, recreational space and walking paths. So it's truly a community asset. So thank you. Well done. And just and just a final note on that. This is coming fully funded from the state and the state's innovative methods to address homelessness in King County grants. So Seattle city taxpayers are not paying for this, but we're going to have a great pilot project and I'm very excited to move forward with this and urge passage. Very good. Any other questions or comments that please call the role on the passage of the bill? Herbold suarez. I. Macheda. I o'brien. Pacheco all right. So on big sean gonzalez. President harrell. High. Eight and favorite. Unopposed bill passed and cheryl senate and i switched the agenda item order. So go ahead and read the next urgent item as amended.
