IMMEDIATE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE

>> THANK YOU.
I WILL MOVE TO PASS COUNCIL
BILL 119766 IS THERE A SECOND?
>> SECOND.
>> IT'S BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED
TO PASS THE BILL.
COUNCIL MEMBER HERBOLT IS THE
LEAD SPONSOR ON THIS BILL SO I
WILL YIELD THE FLOOR TO HER TO
ALLOW HER AN OPPORTUNITY TO
ADDRESS THE BILL FIRST.
I UNDERSTAND THERE'S ALSO AN
AMENDMENT WHY DON'T WITH GO
AHEAD AND ADDRESS THE BILL
FIRST AND THEN WE WILL CONSIDER
THE AMENDMENT.
>> FANTASTIC, THANK YOU.
THIS LEGISLATION BUILDS OFF OF
THE RENT FOR COMMERCIAL TENANTS
THAT MAYOR DURKAN PROPOSED A
NUMBER OF WEEKS AGO AND IS
INTENDED TO ADDRESS THE SORT OF
INHERENT TENSION BETWEEN THAT
MORATORIUM AND THE FACT THAT
RENT IS STILL DUE FOR FOLKS.
IT ESTABLISHES A WAY FOR
PROPERTY OWNERS TO GET PAID AND
FOR SMALL BUSINESSES AND
NONPROFITS TO MINIMIZE THEIR
RENT DEBT AS IT MAY ACCUMULATE
OVER THE PERIOD OF THIS CRISIS.
MY OFFICE HAS HEARD FROM SMALL
BUSINESSES CONCERNED ABOUT
THEIR ABILITY TO SURVIVE THE
PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY.
I'M SURE MANY OTHER COUNCIL
MEMBERS HAVE HEARD THOSE
STORIES AS WELL.
SEATTLE TIMES WRITER DANNY
WESNEAD WROTE A STORY RECENTLY
THAT I THINK REFLECTS A LOT OF
WHAT WE SEE HAPPENING ACROSS
THE CITY.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PROPERTY
OWNERS WHO ARE BEING VERY
GENEROUS AND UNDERSTANDING IN
CREATING THE TIME AND SPACE
THAT'S NECESSARY FOR TENANTS TO
PAY THE RENT AND OTHER
RESPONSES THAT ARE MUCH MORE
STRING GENT AND NOT REALLY
APPRECIATIVE OF THE CRISIS THAT
WE'RE IN RIGHT NOW.
NUMBER OF MONTHS AGO, I'M SORRY
A NUMBER OF WEEKS AGO A
COALITION OF SMALL BUSINESS
OWNERS LED BY MULITZO REACHED
OUT TO COUNCIL MEMBERS EARLY ON
TO PROPOSE WAYS THAT THE CITY
COULD HELP MORE SMALL
BUSINESSES SURVIVE.
THIS WAS ONE OF THOSE IDEAS
CONTAINED IN THAT LETTER.
REQUIRING RENT PAYMENTS TO BE
PAYABLE OVER LONGER PERIODS OF
TIME.
IN DEVELOPING THE LEGISLATION I
CONSULTED WITH OTHER ADDITIONAL
SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS,
INCLUDING JOE CRUSEAR TO
DEVELOP PIZZA AND BETO YARDS OF
VENTURE AS NONPROFIT THAT
SUPPORTS ENTREPRENEURS AS I
SAID IT WAS LIMITED RESOURCES
AND UNLIMITED POTENTIAL.
AND THEY PROVIDED A LOT OF FEED
BACK AND GOOD IDEAS THAT WE
WORKED TO INCORPORATE.
I HAVE JUST A SHORT CLOSING
STATEMENT THAT I WOULD LIKE TO
ALSO SAY AT THE END IF THAT'S
OKAY.
AFTER WE WORK ON THE AMENDMENT.
>> THAT IS FINE.
SO WHY DON'T WE GO AHEAD AND
TAKE UP THE AMENDMENT WHICH IS
AMENDMENT ONE ON THE AGENDA.
WHY DON'T WE GO AHEAD AND TAKE
THAT UP AND WE WILL CONSIDER
THE AMENDMENT AND WE WILL HAVE
COMMENTS ON THE BILL AS AMENDED
AFTER WE RECONSIDER THE
AMENDMENT.
HOW DOES THAT SOUND?
OKAY.
GREAT.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO, FORMALLY
MOVE YOUR AMEND?
>> I MOVE AMENDMENT ONE.
>> I WILL SECOND.
>> THANK YOU.
>> LET ME GO THROUGH THE
ROBERTS RULES OF ORDER BEFORE
WE CAN PROVIDE.
IT'S BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED.
COUNCIL MEMBER HERBOLT WILL NOW
ADDRESS AMENDMENT ONE.
>> SO AMENDMENT ONE CAME OUT OF
SOME WORK WITH NAOP WASHINGTON
COMMERCIAL LEGISLATIONS.
BUSINESSES WILL NEED TO HAVE
EXPERIENCED AN ECONOMIC
HARDSHIP EITHER BECAUSE THEY
WERE FORCED TO STOP DOING
BUSINESS OR BECAUSE THEIR
REVENUE DROPPED BY 30% OR MORE
AS COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS
YEAR.
THE AMENDMENT ALSO CLARIFIES
THAT LOCAL OUTPOSTF LARGE
CHAINS WOULD NOT BE ELIGIBLE
EVEN IF THEY HAVE50% OR FEWER
EMPLOYEES.
WE'VE BEEN CAREFUL TO MAKE SURE
THAT SMALL FRANCHISES WILL
STILL BE ELIGIBLE.
THE GOAL IS TO ENSURE WHEN
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HELPING
SMALL BUSINESSES SURVIVE WE'RE
FOCUSING ON THE BUSINESSES MOST
LIKELY TO NEED HELP TO DO SO
AND NOT OPENING THE DOORS TO
BUSINESSES WHO DON'T REALLY
NEED THE PROTECTION.
I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT AN
ORGANIZATION THAT IS DEVOTED TO
THE INTEREST OF COMMERCIAL REAL
ESTATE HAS BEEN WILLING TO COME
FORWARD AND RECOGNIZE THE NEED
FOR THIS LEGISLATION WHILE
MAKING SOME, RECOMMENDATIONS
THAT I FEEL ARE REASONABLE.
>> THANK YOU, ARE THERE ANY
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON
AMENDMENT ONE TO COUNCIL BILL
11976 LOOKS LIKE THERE'S NO
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS SO WILL
THE CLERK PLEASE CALL THE ROLL
ON THE ADOPTION OF AMENDMENT
ONE.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER MORALES.
>> AYE.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER MOSQUEDA.
>> AYE.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER THE PEDERSON.
>> AYE.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER SAWANT.
>> AYE.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER JUAREZ.
>> AYE.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER LEWIS.
>> AYE.
>> PRESIDENT GONZALEZ.
>> AYE.
>> NINE IN FAVOR, NONE OPPOSED.
>> THE MOTION CARRIES AND THE
AMENDMENT IS ADOPTED.
BEFORE COUNCIL MEMBER HERBOLT
MAKES HER FINAL COMMENTS ARE
THERE ANY OTHER FURTHER
COMMENTS FROM ANY OF MY OTHER
COLLEAGUES ON THE BILL AS
AMENDED.
COUNCIL MEMBER MORALES.
>> I DO JUST WANT TO MAKE A
QUICK COMMENT.
AS COUNCIL MEMBER HERBOLD SAYS
WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT SMALL
BUSINESS CONSTITUENTS.
WE KNOW THAT COMMERCIAL TENANTS
HAVE ALMOST NO RIGHTS AND OUR
SMALL BUSINESSES NEED
PROTECTION.
ESPECIALLY DURING THIS
EMERGENCY SO THAT THEY HAVE
SOME KIND OF CHANCE TO COME
BACK ONCE WE ARE IN RECOVERY.
SO, AS COUNCIL MEMBER HERBOLD
SAID THIS ISN'T COMPLETE RENT
FORGIVENESS IT'S JUST A FREEZE
ON INCREASES AND THEY HAVE A
YEAR BUT THEY CAN'T PAY THE
MONEY BACK.
SO WE KNOW THAT SMALL BUSINESS
ALREADY TAKING A BIG RISK.
REGARDLESS OF WHAT BUSINESS
THEY'RE DOING, WE KNOW OUR
SMALL BUSINESSES BRING A LOT TO
OUR COMMUNITIES.
SO WE ARE HAPPY TO DO ANYTHING
TO HELP THEM.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER HERBOLD I
JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR THE INTRODUCTION OF
THIS BILL.
I THINK IT IS A VERY FINE
COMPLIMENT TO SOME OF THE WORK
WE'RE SEEING IN THIS LANDMARK
TENANT SPACE.
AS IT RELATES TO RESIDENTIAL,
TENDENCIES AND I WILL HAVE A
FULL BILL LATER THIS MONTH THAT
EFFECTIVELY DOES THE WHOLE
THING THIS BILL DOES BUT IN THE
RESIDENTIAL CATEGORY OF
TENDENCIES.
ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO CREATE AS
MUCH STABILITY AS WE CAN IN
THIS SPACE IS GOING TO BE
ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL TO MAKING
SURE THAT WE ALLOW PEOPLE THE
BEST OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THE
LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL
ONCE WE HOPEFULLY AND I BELIEVE
WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS PUBLIC
HEALTH CRISIS.
SO I'M GOING TO LET YOU HAVE
THE FINAL WORD BEFORE WE CALL
THIS BILL TO A VOTE.
>> YEAH, JUST A PERSONAL NOTE.
THAT AGAIN I KNOW EVERYBODY WHO
REPRESENTS THE DISTRICT OR EVEN
OUR AT LARGE COUNCIL MEMBERS
SHARE THIS REALLY PERSONAL
FEELING THAT OUR DISTRICT AND
OUR CITY IS SO SO BENEFITED BY
JUST AN INCREDIBLE ARRAY OF
TRULY BELOVED SMALL BUSINESSES.
IT'S REALLY OUR SMALL
BUSINESSES ARE REALLY WHAT
GIVES OUR CITY VITALITY AND
MAKE OUR NEIGHBORHOODS SUCH
WONDERFUL PLACES TO LIVE.
I REALLY BELIEVE THAT WE CANNOT
LET THE CORONAVIRUS ATTACK WHAT
MAKES OUR COMMUNITIES SO
SPECIAL.
AND THE HOPE IS THIS
LEGISLATION WILL GIVE THESE
BELOVED SMALL BUSINESSES AND
ESSENTIAL NONPROFITS A FIGHTING
CHANCE TO SURVIVE.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT FOLKS
HAVE REMINDED ME IS THAT WE DO
THAT SMALL BUSINESSES DO HAVE
FINANCIAL RELIEF COMING TO THEM
MANY FOLKS HAVE APPLIED.
BUT AGAIN, ALTHOUGH THAT
FINANCIAL RELIEF IS COMING, WE
DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH OF THE, HOW
MUCH THE RELIEF WILL MITIGATE
AS IT RELATES TO THE FINANCIAL
IMPACTS OF THIS, OF THIS VIRUS.
NOR DO WE KNOW NECESSARILY THE
TIMING WHEN PEOPLE RECEIVE
FUNDS.
SO THIS BILL WILL ALLOW PEOPLE
TO BUY SOME TIME.
AND IT ALLOWS THEM TO ENTER
INTO A TIME PAYMENT PLAN OF SIX
MONTHS AFTER THE END OF THE
CRISIS AND ALLOWS THEM A FULL
YEAR TO PAY OFF THEIR RENT.
IN ADDITION TO AS WE MENTIONED
BEFORE FREEZING RENTS ON THE
TYPES OF LEASES THAT DON'T HAVE
MULTI YEAR COMMITMENTS FOR RENT
INCREASES WITHIN THEM
THEMSELVES.
THANK YOU EVERYBODY FOR WORKING
WITH ME ON THIS BILL.
I THINK THAT IT'S A REALLY GOOD
EXAMPLE OF THE TYPES OF THINGS
WE CAN DO TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS
OF OUR CONSTITUTIONS THAT WE
CARE SO DEEPLY ABOUT.
>> WELL SAID COUNCIL MEMBER
HERBOLD.
LET'S GO AHEAD AND GET THIS
BILL INTO LAW.
SO I WILL ASK THE CLERK TO CALL
THE ROLE ON THE PASSAGE OF BILL
AS AMENDED.
, CALL THE ROLL.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER MORALES.
>> AYE.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER MOSQUEDA.
>> AYE.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER PEDERSON.
>> AYE.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER SAWANT.
>> AYE.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER STRAUSS.
>> AYE.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER HERBOLD.
>> AYE.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER JUAREZ.
>> AYE.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER LEWIS.
>> AYE.
>> PRESIDENT GONZALEZ.
>> AYE.
>> NINE IN FAVOR, NONE OPPOSED.
>> THE BILL PASSES AS AMENDED
AND THE CHAIR WILL SIGN IT.
WILL THE CLERK PLEASE AFFIX MY
SIGNATURE TO THE LEGISLATION ON
MY BEHALF.
LET'S MOVE ON TO ITEM TWO.
WILL THE CLERK PLEASE READ ITEM
TWO INTO THE RECORD.
>> AGENDA ITEM TWO.
119779 PRESCHOOL AND PROMISE
LEVEE ADOPTED BY ORDNANCE 12587
TO PROVIDE FOR EMERGENCY CHILD
CARE SERVICES.
TO GRATIFY AND CONFIRMING THE
MAYOR'S CIVIL EMERGENCY ORDER
FOR FRONT LINE ESSENTIAL
WORKERS DECLARING AN EMERGENCY
AND ESTABLISHING AN IMMEDIATE
EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE CITY
COUNCIL.
>> THANK YOU.
I WILL MOVE TO PASS COUNCIL
BILL 119771 IS THERE A SECOND?
>> SECOND.
>> IT'S BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED
TO PASS THE BILL AND AS THE
SPONSOR OF THE BILL I WILL GO
AHEAD AND ADDRESS THE
SUBSTANTIVE PARTS OF THE BILL
AND THENLY OPEN IT UP FOR
AMENDMENT AND THEN OPEN IT UP.
IN JUNE 2018 THE CITY COUNCIL
APPROVED ORDNANCE 12504 TO FUND
EDUCATION SERVICES WITH THE
PROPERTY TAX LEV VIEW THAT WILL
GENERATE APPROXIMATELY $619,000
OVER A FOUR YEAR PERIOD.
LAYS OUT FOUR INVESTMENT AREAS
FOR LEVY FUNDING.
PRESCHOOL AND EARLY LEARNING, K
THROUGH 12 SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY
BASED GRANTS.
K THROUGH 12 HEALTH AND SEATTLE
PROMISE.
SECTION SEVEN OF THE TONIGHTS
ORDNANCE PROVIDED THAT LEVEE
PROCEEDS WILL ONLY BE SPENT
WITH IMPLEMENTATION AND
ORDNANCE PLAN APPROVED BY THE
ORDNANCE AND BY THE CITY
COUNCIL.
THAT PLAN WAS APPROVE BID THE
COUNCIL IN APRIL 2019
ORIGINALLY, AND THIS PLAN
PROVIDES DETAILED INFORMATION
ABOUT COUNCIL'S FUNDING
EXPECTATIONS IN EACH OF THE
FOUR AREAS THAT I JUST
PREVIOUSLY OUTLINED.
ON MARCH 27th THE MAYOR ISSUED
AN EMERGENCY ORDER THAT WOULD
PROVIDE EMERGENCY CHILD CARE
SERVICES TO ESSENTIAL WORKERS
AS DEFINED BY THE WASHINGTON
OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT.
THESE WORKERS INCLUDE HEALTH
CARE WORKERS, FIRST RESPONDERS,
PHARMACY WORKERS, AND GROCERY
STORE WORKERS.
COUNCIL BILL 119771 WAS
ORIGINALLY TRANSMITTED TO US BY
THE GOVERNOR EARLY LEARNING.
THIS WOULD IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
TO ALLOW CHILD CARE SERVICES
FOR FRONT LINE ESSENTIAL
WORKERS CONSISTENT WITH THE
MAYOR'S EMERGENCY ORDER THAT
WAS ISSUED ON THE 27th OF MAV.
THESE WOULD BE LEVY FUNDED
SERVICES.
IN ORDER TO FORMALLY INCLUDE
THESE CHILD CARE SERVICES.
TO COUNCIL AMENDMENT THAT
LEVY'S IMPLEMENTATION AND
EVALUATION PLAN AND TOTAL
EXPENDITURES UNDER CHILD CARE
SERVICES IS LIMITED TO THE
AMEND OF FUNDS THAT OTHERWISE
WOULD HAVE BEEN USED TO FUND
THE SEATTLE PRESCHOOL PROGRAM
DURING THE SAME PERIOD OF TIME
ALL CONTRACTS WILL BE EFFECTIVE
FOR 30 DAYS.
THE PROPOSED BILL WOULD DEFINE
THE CHILD CARE WITH ADEQUATE
EDUCATION SERVICES DEFINED IN
THE ENABLING ORDNANCE AND THAT
THIS BILL WOULD ALSO DECLARE
THAT THERE IS AN IMMEDIATE NEED
FOR ESSENTIAL WORKERS TO HAVE
ACCESS TO CHILD CARE SERVICES
AND IT WOULD RATIFY AND CONFIRM
THE MAYOR'S EMERGENCY ORDER.
THE PROPOSED BILL ATTACHES AS
ATTACHMENT TWO THAT IS LISTED
ON THIS AGENDA AN EMERGENCY
ADDENDUM TO THE IMPLEMENTATION
PLAN THAT STATES THAT CHILD
CARE WILL BE PAID FOR FUNDS
THAT WOULD GO TO SUPPORT THE
PRESCHOOL PROGRAM AND PATH WAY
PROGRAM.
HOWEVER WITH THE CLOSURE OF
SCHOOLS AND THE GOVERNOR'S STAY
AT HOME ORDER, MANY OF THE SPP
AND SPP PATH WAY PROGRAMS ARE
NOT CURRENTLY IN OPERATION.
THAT MEANS THAT LEVEE FUNDS ARE
AVAILABLE TO BE REDIRECTED TO
SUPPORT THESE EMERGENCY CHILD
CARE SERVICES.
IMPORTANTLY THE EXECUTIVE
CANNOT EXCEED IN THE AMOUNT I
EQUIVALENT TO THE LEVEE.
FUTURE YEARS OF THE SPP PATH
WAY PROGRAMS WILL CONTINUE TO
BE FULLY FUNDED AS ORIGINALLY
INTENDED IN THE IMPLEMENTATION
AND EMERGENCY PLAN WE ADOPTED
IN THE SPRING OF 2019.
AND THEN LASTLY, I DID RECEIVE
WRITTEN CONFIRMATION THAT THE
OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE WAS
CONSULTED AS REQUIRED BY LAW
AND THE OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE
AGREED THAT THE IMPLEMENTATION
OF EMERGENCY SERVICES IS AN
APPROPRIATE USE OF FACT LEVY
FUNDS DURING THIS CIVIL
EMERGENCY.
OUT OF AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION
I WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE HAD
THIS BILL BEFORE US TO MAKE
SURE WE CONTINUE TO HAVE THE
ACCOUNTABILITY AND OVERSIGHT
NECESSARY FOR THE EXPENDITURE
OF THESE IMPORTANT BUT LIMITED
TAXPAYER APPROVED LEVY FUND IN
THE SPACE OF EARLY LEARNING.
SO THAT IS THE STRUCTURE OF THE
BILL AND WHAT IS BEFORE US AND
WHAT THIS BILL WILL DO.
COUNCIL MEMBER HERBOLD HAS AN
AMENDMENT SHE WOULD LIKE TO
MAKE.
I'M GOING TO HAND IT OVER TO
COUNCIL MEMBER HERBOLD TO
FORMALLY INTRODUCE HER
AMENDMENT AND THEN WE WILL TAKE
UP HER AMENDMENT AND THEN COME
BACK TO THE SUBSTANTIVE BILL AS
AMENDED FOR COMMENTS.
COUNCIL MEMBER HERBOLD AND
YOU'RE ON MUTE.
>> I CERTAINLY AM.
THANK YOU.
I'M MOVING AMENDMENT ONE TO
COUNCIL BILL 119771.
>> SECOND.
>> SO IT'S BEEN MOVED AND
SECONDED.
SO WHY DON'T YOU GO AHEAD AND
ADDRESS THE AMENDMENT.
>> SURE.
SO THIS AMENDMENT JUST SIMPLY
REQUIRES A MONTHLY REPORT FROM
THE EXECUTIVE ON THE EMERGENCY
CHILD CARE EFFORTS.
I'VE BEEN HEARING FROM PEOPLE
AND IN MY PERSONAL NETWORK THAT
TODAY IN THE EFFORTS OF BOTH
SPS, SEATTLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS AS
WELL AS DEAL THAT THE DEMAND
FOR CHILD CARE FOR THE
IDENTIFIED POPULATIONS HAS NOT
BEEN WHAT THEY INITIALLY
EXPECTED AND OF COURSE WE KNOW
THAT ONE THING THAT OFTEN
HAPPENS IS ONCE IT'S PROVIDED
THEN THE DEMAND GROWS.
AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT, SIGHTS DON'T END UP
HAVING EXCESS CAPACITY AND THAT
THERE BE CONSIDERATION TO
EXPANDING CHILD CARE, CHILD
CARE PROVISION TO OTHER GROUPS
OF ESSENTIAL WORKERS FOR
INSTANCE TRANSIT WORKERS.
THE FOLKS WHO ARE PUTTING THEIR
SELF-IN HARMS WAY.
TO DO THE ESSENTIAL WORK OF
GETTING PEOPLE AROUND.
AS WE'LL AS OUR HOMELESS
SERVICE PROVIDERS THAT ARE ON
THE FRONT LINES.
JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
THERE'S EXCESS CAPACITY WAS IN
THE SYSTEM.
THAT THERE'S AN ABILITY TO
SERVE MORE FAMILIES.
AND SO THE REQUIRED MONTHLY
REPORTS FROM THE EXECUTIVE
INCLUDES THE NUMBER OF
EMERGENCY CHILD CARE SITES
CURRENTLY OPERATING IN THEIR
LOCATIONS.
THE NUMBER OF STAFF AT EACH
SITE.
THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS AT EACH
SITE.
INCLUDING DISAGGREGATION BY THE
TYPE OF WORKER THAT THE PARENTS
OF THOSE STUDENTS PERFORM.
AND IMPACT TO FROM REDIRECTING
RESOURCES TO EMERGENCY HEALTH
CARE SERVICES.
THIS AMENDMENT WAS CIRCULATED
ON FRIDAY BY CENTRAL STAFFER
BRYAN GOODNIGHT.
ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ABOUT
THE AMENDMENT.
HEARING AND SEEING NONE WE WILL
GO AHEAD AND TAKE UP THE
AMENDMENT.
WILL THE CLERK PLEASE CALL THE
ROLL ON THE ADOPTION.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER MORALES.
COUNCIL MEMBER MORALES.
>> AYE.
SORRY ABOUT THAT.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER MOSQUEDA.
>> AYE.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER PEDERSON.
>> AYE.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER SAWANT.
>> AYE.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER STRAUSS.
>> AYE.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER HERBOLD.
>> AYE.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER JUAREZ.
>> AYE.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER LEWIS.
>> AYE.
>> PRESIDENT GONZALEZ.
>> AYE.
>> NINE IN FAVOR, NONE OPPOSED.
>> THE MOTION CARRIES AND THE
AMENDMENT IS ADOPTED.
COLLEAGUES ARE THERE ANY
FURTHER COMMENTS ON THE BILL AS
AMENDED?
COUNCIL MEMBER HERBOLD THE
FLOOR IS YOURS.
>> THANK YOU, THIS IS MORE OF A
FLAGGING OF AN ISSUE AND
COUNCIL MEMBER GONZALEZ YOU MAY
KNOW WHETHER OR NOT DEAL IS
PLANNING TO ADDRESS THIS.
BUT, ONE OF THE ISSUES I THINK
THAT WAS IN SOME WAYS RAISED IN
THE LETTER FROM THE ADVISORY
BOARD, RELATES SPECIFICALLY TO
A REALLY IMPORTANT EQUITY
ISSUE.
GIVEN THAT CHILD CARE PROVIDERS
PROVIDE CARE FOR THE CHILDREN
OF DOCTORS AND NURSES WHO ARE
ON THE FRONT LINES AND EXPOSED
TO CORONAVIRUS EVERY DAY.
AND THROUGH THE CHILDREN THAT
THEY'RE CARING FOR, CHILD CARE
WORKERS ARE FACING THE SAME
EXPOSURES.
AND THERE'S BEEN A MOVEMENT
TOWARD HAZARD PAY FOR GROCERY
WORKERS.
HAZARD PAY FOR HOMELESS SERVICE
PROVIDERS.
AND I'M JUST WONDERING IF THE
DEPARTMENT IS CONSIDERING
WHETHER OR NOT TO CONSIDER
HAZARD PAY FOR THIS GROUP OF
PROFESSIONALS THAT ARE DOING
ESSENTIAL WORK THAT IS CRITICAL
TO THE FUNCTIONS OF OUR FIRST
RESPONDERS.
>> I DO NOT KNOW THE ANSWER TO
THAT QUESTION.
I KNOW THAT THE QUESTION HAS
BEEN POSED.
I THINK IT'S AN IMPORTANT
QUESTION.
AND I KNOW THAT THERE'S BEEN AT
LEAST AS IT RELATES TO THE
CONTRACTS WITH CHILD CARE
PROVIDERS IN SCHOOL PUBLIC
SCHOOL BUILDINGS.
THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF
CONVERSATION ABOUT SANITATION
AND HOW TO MAKE SURE THAT THE
ENVIRONMENT IS AS SAFE AS IT
CAN POSSIBLY BE UNDER THE
CIRCUMSTANCES.
BUT I THINK THAT IT'S AN
IMPORTANT QUESTION TO GET A
FOLLOW UP INFORMATION FROM DEAL
AND WE'LL MAKE SURE TO DO THAT
AND CIRCULATE IT TO YOU.
>> THANK YOU.
>> YOU'RE WELCOME.
>> ARE THERE ANY OTHER
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?
COUNCIL MEMBER MOSQUEDA,
PLEASE.
>> THANK YOU COUNCIL PRESIDENT.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK ON THIS
LEGISLATION.
AND THANKS FOR THE MAYOR'S
OFFICE FOR SENDING IT DOWN.
I AGREE WITH ALL OF THE
COMMENTS THAT COUNCIL MEMBER
HERBOLD JUST OUTLINED AS FAR AS
WHO NEED THESE SERVICES.
AND DIRECTOR CHAPELL HAS
RECEIVED AN E-MAIL WHO ARE
CONTRACT WORKERS WHO PROVIDE
CHILD CARE TO INDIVIDUALS
THROUGHOUT THE CITY AND SCIU
REPRESENTS FAMILY HEALTH CARE
PROVIDERS THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
I AM HOPING THEY WILL CONTINUE
TO BE USED AS AN IMPORTANT
RESOURCE IN THIS EFFORT TO MAKE
SURE ALL OF THE ESSENTIAL
WORKERS HAVE ACCESS TO HIGH
QUALITY CHILD CARE, FOR THE
CURRENT POPULATION AND FOR ANY
EXPANDED POPULATION.
JUST I WANT TO NOTE FROM THE E-
MAIL THEY SENT, THEY NOTE THE
CITY OF SEATTLE HAS A STRONG
LABOR HISTORY AND SCIU WANTS TO
HELP PROVIDE WORKERS THROUGHOUT
THE REGION WITH ACCESS TO HIGH
QUALITY CHILD CARE.
AND ALSO MAKE SURE THEY'RE
ACCESSING HIGH QUALITY HEALTH
CARE FOR THOSE WHO ARE
ORGANIZED AND HAVE A VOICE IN
THEIR JOB.
WE KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT IS FOR
PEOPLE TO RAISE THEIR HAND IF
THEY FEEL UNSAFE AT THEIR PLACE
OF EMPLOYMENT
THAT'S TRUE FROM THE HEALTH
CARE WORKERS TO REMOVING THE 5-
CENT FEE FOR BAGS AND INCLUDES
CHILD CARE PROVIDE TO MAKE SURE
THEIR SERVICES ARE ACROSS THE
CITY.
JUST WANT TO PING THAT FOR OUR
DEPARTMENT AS THEY'RE LOOKING
TO DEPLOY PHOT , NOT JUST OUR
CITY DOLLARS AND LOOK FORWARD
TO THEIR ONGOING.
>> THANK YOU FOR THOUGH
COMMENTS REALLY APPRECIATE THE
NOTE THERE.
I WILL SAY THAT IN MY
CONVERSATIONS WITH THE
EXECUTIVE IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING
THAT THERE'S, THEY ARE LOOKING
AT THE, EVERY SINGLE
OPPORTUNITY THEY CAN TO FIGURE
OUT HOW TO MEET CHILD CARE NEED
FOR ESSENTIAL WORKERS.
SO THAT INCLUDES JUST
CONTRACTORS IN CENTER BASED
FACILITIES BUT YOU KNOW SORT OF
MAKING SURE WE'RE KEEPING AN
EYE ON HOW WE CAN MAKE SURE
THAT THE SYSTEM IS BEING FULLY
RESPONSIVE AND I THINK THAT THE
AMENDMENT THAT WAS ADVANCED BY
COUNCIL MEMBER HERBOLD THAT WE
JUST ADOPTED IS GOING TO HELP
US FINE TUNE EXACTLY WHERE THE
GAPS ARE TO BE THAT THERE ARE
GAPS.
SO I THINK THOSE DATA POINTS
WILL BE ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL TO
UNDERSTANDING HOW ELSE WE CAN
MODIFY THE MODEL IN ORDER TO
MEET THIS CRITICAL NEED FOR
THESE WORKERS.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS
OR COMMENTS FROM MY COLLEAGUES?
>> OKAY.
HEARING NONE.
I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I'M
REALLY EXCITED THAT WE CAN
ADVANCE THIS LEGISLATION.
I'M ALSO MINDFUL OF THE IMPACT
THAT IT CAN HAVE ON LEVEE
EXISTING LEVEE FUNDS AND
PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT WE
FUND THROUGH IT THAT'S PART OF
THE REASON WHY I WANTED TO MAKE
SURE THAT OUT OF THE ABUNDANCE
OF CAUTION WE HAD A LEGISLATION
TO FORMALIZE THIS AS OPPOSED TO
JUST RELYING ON AN EXECUTIVE
ORDER.
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO US TO
HAVE THAT ACCOUNTABILITY AND
TRANSPARENCY ON HOW THESE
DOLLARS ARE GOING TO BE SPENT
AND HAVING ADDITIONAL DETAILS
OUT IN THE PUBLIC ABOUT OUR
EXPECTATIONS ABOUT HOW THE
EXECUTIVE ORDER WAS GOING TO BE
OPERATIONAL AS IN THIS SPACE.
I WILL SAY THAT, THAT DOING
THIS WORK JUST REALLY
HIGHLIGHTS FOR ME THAT WE STILL
HAVE AN ABSOLUTE CRISIS AROUND
CHILD CARE IN OUR CITY.
IT'S PART OF THE REASON WHY
WE'RE SCRAMBLING SO IT'S NOT,
NOT JUST A CRISIS FOR THESE
ESSENTIAL WORKERS BUT FOR
EVERYBODY.
AND I THINK WE'RE SEEING THAT
DURING A PERIOD OF A PUBLIC
HEALTH CRISIS AND PANDEMIC LIKE
THIS, WE ARE EXPERIENCING THE
GAPS IN OUR CHILD CARE SYSTEM
IN AN EVEN DEEPER MORE PROFOUND
WAY AND THAT'S PART OF THE
REASON WHY I'VE BEEN WORKING
WITH SO MANY OF YOU AND FORMER
COUNCIL COLLEAGUES ON REALLY,
REALLY MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE
HAVING A CONVERSATION ABOUT HOW
TO BEST MEET THE NEEDS OF
WORKING FAMILIES WHO HAVE
CHILDREN IN OUR CITIES.
SO I THINK THIS IS A GOOD STEP,
GOOD STEP FORWARD FOR THIS
SMALL BODY OF WORKERS.
BUT LOOK FORWARD TO BEING ON
THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS
CORONAVIRUS AND CONTINUING TO
HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT HOW
WE CLOSE THE GAPS IN THE CHILD
CARE SPACE.
IN THE LONG TERM.
SO WITH THAT BEING SAID.
I AM GOING TO ASK THE CLERK TO
CALL THE ROLL ON THE PASSAGE OF
HE BILL AS AMENDED.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER MORALES.
>> AYE.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER MOSQUEDA.
>> AYE.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER PEDERSON.
>> AYE.

AND THE CHAIR WILL SIGN IT.
WILL THE CLERK PLEASE AFFIX MY
SIGNATURE TO THE LEGISLATION ON
MY BEHALF.
ALL RIGHT.
AGENDA ITEM THREE WILL THE
CLERK PLEASE READ AGENDA ITEM
THREE INTO THE RECORD.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER 119770
TEMPORARILY SUSPENDING
DEADLINES IMPOSED BY THE
SEATTLE MUNICIPAL COURT FOR THE
HEARINGS OF THE EXAMINER.
TRANSCENDING SEVERAL SECTIONS
OF THE CODE THAT IMPOSED
DEADLINES ON THE ACTIONS OF THE
HEARING EXAMINER AND READ ASIDE
AND CONFIRMING ACTS.
>> I WILL MOVE COUNCIL BILL
119770 IS THERE A SECOND?
>> SECOND.
>> THANK YOU.
IT'S BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED TO
PASS THE BILL.
AND AS SPONSOR OF THE BILL ILL
GO AHEAD AND PASS THE BILL.
WILL ASK FOR COMMENTS.
THIS LEGISLATION WILL TEMP
RAEURPLY SUSPEND DEADLINES
REQUIRED IN THE SEATTLE
MUNICIPAL COURT FOR THE OFFICE
OF THE CITY EXAMINER DUE TO THE
CORONAVIRUS EMERGENCY.
IN RESPONSE TO THE THE ORDERS
OUR HEARING EXAMINER PUBLISHED
EMERGENCY RULES TO PROVIDE
GUIDANCE FOR THE OFFICE OF THE
HEARING EXAMINER DURING THE
COVID-19 EMERGENCY.
THOSE RULES WERE TO BE IN
EFFECT FOR 60 DAYS AND INCLUDE
CLOSURE OF HIS OFFICE TO THE
PUBLIC, ALLOWING REMOTE
HEARINGS, ALLOWING ELECTRONIC
FILING OF DOCUMENTS SUSPENDING
IN PERSON PAYMENT OF FEES AND
ALLOWING PERSONS TO PAY THEIR
FEES LATER IF THE OFFICE
CLOSURE PREVENTED PAYMENT FROM
BEING MADE.
THESE ARE ALL IMPORTANT TO HELP
PREVENT THE FURTHER SPREAD OF
THE CORONAVIRUS TO THE PUBLIC
AND TO THE HEARING EXAMINER
STAFF.
OF COURSE THE CITY OF THE
OFFICE EXAMINER IS AN
INDEPENDENT OFFICE AND THEY
REQUIRE THIS BILL IN ORDER TO
HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY NEEDED TO
CONTINUE TO COMPLY WITH THESE
PUBLIC HEALTH ORDERS.
COUNCIL BILL 119770 119770
WILL TEMPORARILY SUSPEND.
IT'S IMPORTANT FOR FOR ME TO
NOTE THAT THIS BILL DOES NOT
SUSPEND DEADLINES APPLICABLE TO
CITY DEPARTMENTS IN CASES THAT
COME BEFORE THE HEARING
EXAMINER AND THIS BILL ONLY
PROVIDE THE HEARING EXAMINER
REALLY FROM THE STRINGENT
DEADLINES THAT WILL MAKE IT
DIFFICULT FOR THE OFFICE OF
CITY EXAMINERS TO COMPLY FOR
THE GOVERNOR STAY HOME, STAY
HEALTHY ORDER.
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO TOOK A
LOOK AT AMY GORE'S MEMO YOU
WILL NOTE SHE MADE SURE TO
HIGHLIGHT THAT THERE IS THAT
PARTICULAR ISSUE IF WE A A
COUNCIL WANT TO TAKE UP THE
ISSUE AT A FUTURE DATE TO
CONSIDER SUSPENDING DEADLINES
FOR CITY DEPARTMENTS OR FOR THE
OTHER LITANY OF FOLKS THAT I
JUST MENTIONED.
WE COULD DO THAT BUT COUNCIL
CENTRAL STAFF HAS IDENTIFIED
THAT IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO
CONSIDER THAT TEMPORARY POLICY
RELIEF OR SHIFT IN THE SEPARATE
AND NEWLY INTRODUCED BILL.
SO I WILL HAVE CONVERSATIONS
WITH THE HEARING EXAMINER TO
SEE IFS THAT SOMETHING THAT
MAKES SENSE FROM A POLICY
PERSPECTIVE AND HAPPY TO HEAR
FROM ANY OF YOU ALL AT A FUTURE
DATE AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THAT
IS A POLICY SHIFT THAT WOULD BE
OF INTEREST.
S THAT THE ESSENCE OF THIS
BILL AND I'M HAPPY TO ENTERTAIN
ANY COMMENTS.
ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS ON THE
BILL?
HEARING AND SEEING NONE.
I WILL PLEASE ASK THE CLERK TO
CALL ROLL ON THE PASSAGE OF THE
BILL.
>> COUNCIL MEMBER MORALES.
>> AYE.

THIS MORNING I DISCUSSED A
LETTER THAT WAS SHARED WITH MY
OFFICE FOR SIGNATURE BY THE
CITY COUNCIL BY THE OFFICE OF
INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS I
WANT TO THANK THEM FOR THEIR
QUICK ACTIONS.
THIS IS FOLLOW UP TON CARES ACT
PRESENTATION THAT WE GOT FROM
THOSE FOLKS LAST MONDAY.
SO THIS WOULD BE A LETTER TO
OUR MEMBERS OF OUR FEDERAL
CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION
EXPRESSING A POLICY POSITION
FROM THE CITY COUNCIL ON ITEMS
THAT WE THINK ARE IMPORTANT FOR
FUNDING IN THE CARES ACT.
IT WOULD GO TO SENATORS MURRAY
AND CANTWELL ALONG WITH SMITH
AND JIAPAUL.
I DESCRIBE THIS LETTER DURING
COUNCIL BRIEFING BUT FOR
TRANSPARENCY HERE DURING FULL
COUNCIL IT INCLUDE ADVOCACY
AROUND MAINTAINING ESSENTIAL
CITY SERVICES BY INCREASING
FUNDING AND FLEXIBILITY FOR THE
CORONAVIRUS RELIEF FUND.
IT REQUESTS INCREASE FUNDING
FOR FOOD ASSISTANCE.
IT ALSO REQUESTS THAT THERE BE
A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN
RESOURCES FOR HOUSING AND
EMERGENCY SHELTER.
INCLUDING HOMEOWNERSHIP
STABILIZATION AND SHELTERS FOR
THOSE INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCING
HOMELESSNESS.
IT ALSO ADVOCATING FOR AN
INCREASE IN ASSISTANCE FOR

TREATMENT AND PREVENTION OF
COVID-19.

MAINTENANCE TO CRITICALLY
UTILITY AND TRANSPORTATION
FUNDING AND PROJECTS THAT ARE
CRITICAL TO OUR REGION AND
CITY.
WE'RE HIGHLIGHTING THE NEED AT
THE CITY LEVEL FOR PROTECTION

SUGGESTED THE ASSAULT OF
WOMEN.
