The report of the Finance and Neighborhoods Committee. Agenda Item one Council Bill 119430. An ordinance amending ordinance 125493, which amended the 2018 budget, including the 2018 to 2023 Capital Improvement Program. The committee recommends the City Council pass as amended the Council bill. Great, cause we're in big shock. Thank you very much. I'm pleased to bring you the fourth quarter supplemental budget. This is an ordinance that provides expenditure authority for us to use the grants that we have accepted and for other budget revisions that are requested by various departments. The net operation appropriations increase in this quarter is approximately 85.5 million, of which 18 million is of general fund. Of the amounts, about $12 million is backed by four new grants, and about 788,000 is backed by reimbursement for other new revenues. And in addition to providing appropriations for previously described grant funded projects, the bill would authorize increased operation appropriations totaling $39.7 million. I know you guys were all excited about that. Okay. Is that all you'd like to say? That's all I'd like to say. I have a hundred pages more, if you'd like that, but I thought you'd appreciate just the summary. We appreciate any comments or questions concerning Herbold. I just want to make note of one of the projects in the first quarter up on the earth. Third course, fourth quarter supplemental is the Duwamish Waterway Park Improvements. And this is something that came up a couple months ago because of anticipated funding from the Parks Department not coming through of about $100,000. This is a grant except well, for later on, we'll be talking about a grant acceptance associated with this inclusion in the fourth quarter supplemental. But I also want to just make note, because of the concern a couple of months ago about not receiving the parks fund funding, that we looked into this and found that the $950,000 associated with this project does not require a match from the Parks Department. So a lot of people were nervous that not getting the funds from the department was going to slow up this project and have an impact on our ability to accept these grant funds. Thanks for making that point. Thank you. Herbold Councilmember Herbold, was there any further follow up action you needed from parks or from another department to make sure that? Thanks for checking about that. I know that the Parks Department and some other departments are continuing to work to fully fund the budget associated with this this project. I'm confident that that will happen. My main concern was that we might I was people were worried that we may not be able to accept this funding without the funding from the Parks Department. I'm determined that's not the case. So I'm just speaking to this allowed in case there are folks listening so that they can they can have that reassurance that they can continue to work with the city for the rest of the funding. Nice. Very good. Okay. No further comments. Please call the rule on the passage of the Bill O'Brien. Lakeshore High. Gonzalez Herbold. Hi Johnson. Whereas I President Harrell high seven in favor and unopposed. Bill passes and the chair of Senate. So at this point I would excuse Councilmember Walsh from the remainder of today's meeting.

The ayes have it. Councilmember worse. You are officially excused. Thank you for participating. I think I'm just going to sit here and watch you guys on TV. It's kind of fun. Okay, you can do that.
