AN ORDINANCE relating to City emergency purchases of goods and services; emergency consultant contracts; and emergency public works contracting; amending Section 10.02.070 of the Seattle Municipal Code to align with current practices and the procedures in subsections 3.39.020.M and 20.50.090.A and Section 20.60.114.
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. I beg Sean. Gonzalez, President Harrell. High. Eight in favor and unopposed. Go fast and show sign it please read the next agenda item. 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.
