HAVE A SICK KIDDO AT THE HOUSE
SO WORKING HERE, AND I WILL
ABSOLUTELY STILL BE TAKING NOTE
ON YOUR PUBLIC COMMENT. I SEE
THAT WE HAVE TWO PEOPLE

AHEAD AND TURN IT OVER TO PUBLI
COMMENT RIGHT NOW TO HEAR FROM
FOLKS IN THE ROOM. I UNDERSTAN
THAT WE DO NOT HAVE ANYBODY

WE CAN ALL HEAR YOU REMOTELY.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. MADAME CLERK
DO YOUR MIND READING THE FIRST
SPEAKERS THAT ARE SIGNED UP TO
PRESENT TO US IN CHAMBERS?
>> FIRST SPEAKER IS MARGUERITE
RICHARD.
>> HELLO ONCE AGAIN. THIS IS
MARGUERITE RICHARD , AND I GUES
MY CONCERN IS , I, FIRST OF ALL
, I DID SEE MYSELF IN THE
AUDIENCE, SITTING THERE, BUT I
DON'T SEE MYSELF NOW , AND I'M
STILL CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. AN
IF IT SOUNDS LIKE I'M A BROKEN
RECORD , I'M GOING TO
CONTINUOUSLY REPEAT MYSELF.
NOW, THE SECOND THING IS THE
SEAWALL AS IT RELATES TO
FINANCING IT AND ANYTHING THAT
HAS TO DO WITH SKIPPING OVER
PEOPLE THAT NEED HELP , MEANING
HOUSING. I DON'T, I DIDN'T REA
EVERYTHING, BUT I DID SAY
SOMETHING ABOUT BUILDING A
SEAWALL. AND I'M CONCERNED ABOU
THE REPETITION OF US HAVING TO
SEE A COMMITTEE THAT'S OVER
FINANCED , AND I THINK THE
HOUSING -- DID I SEE HOUSING U
FRONT? WELL, ANYWAY, YOU KNOW,
BECAUSE YOU'RE OVER IT. WHAT I'
SAYING IS THAT THERE SHOULD
ALWAYS BE SPACE OPEN TO TALK
ABOUT ANYTHING CONCERNING YOUR
COMMITTEE. NOT WHAT YOU HAVE ON
THE AGENDA , IT'S WHAT PERTAINS
TO YOUR COMMITTEE, BECAUSE
PEOPLE ARE DYING WHETHER WE
BUILD A SEAWALL, A WALL , OR
KNOCK IT DOWN. PEOPLE ARE DYING
. THEY'RE IN DISTRESS MODE.
THEY'RE IN CRITICAL MODE. AND
SO IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO GO
WITH THE FLOW SO THAT IT SEEMS
LIKE WE'RE CONNECTED TO EACH
OTHER WHENEVER YOU HAVE
SOMETHING ON THE AGENDA. AND I'
STILL GOING TO KEEP TALKING
ABOUT IT, BECAUSE YOU GO OTHER
PLACES, YOU GET THREE MINUTES
UNINTERRUPTED SPEECH.
UNINTERRUPTED! BECAUSE THAT'S
THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO
ADDRESS GOVERNMENT WITHOUT FEA
OF RETALIATION. AND IT'S A
SCOURGE AND A DISGRACE TO ME T
SEE IT HAPPENING IN THE CITY
WHERE I WAS BORN AND RAISED.
>> THANK YOU. MADAME CLERK, CA
YOU PLEASE RAISE THE SECOND
NAME?
>> OUR SECOND SPEAKER IS MR.
SMITH.
>> WELCOME.
>> I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT, I
GUESS , YOUR GUISES AGENDA. I'M
GOING TO KEEP IT AROUND THAT.
IT'S LOOKING LIKE FINANCE AND
HOUSING COMMITTEE , BUT I'M NOT
LOOKING ON -- I'M NOT SEEING O
THIS WATCH LIST THAT YOU GUYS
ARE ACTUALLY WATCHING THE , I
GUESS, SHA AND HUD FACILITIES
, WHICH I FEEL LIKE OUR IN
JEOPARDY BECAUSE OF HOW YOU GUY
, I GUESS, GO ABOUT PROTOCOLS,
OR YOU DON'T, I GUESS, MONITOR
THEM LIKE YOU'RE SAYING. YOU
WANT A WATCH LIST, BUT I FEEL
LIKE YOU GUYS SHOULD BE
WATCHING THE COMPLEXES THAT YOU
GUYS ALREADY HAVE. YOU GUYS HAV
PEOPLE PARTAKING IN DRUGS
OUTSIDE OF YOUR SHA FACILITIES
AND YOUR HUD FACILITIES . YOU
HAVE THEM OVERDOSING , SMOKING
DOPE, SMOKING IN THE
NON-SMOKING FACILITIES, AND I
DON'T SEE ANY OF THAT ON YOUR
WATCH LIST , AND I FEEL LIKE
THAT SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT
YOU SHOULD BE WATCHING, BECAUSE
IT ALSO, YOU'RE HOUSING PEOPLE
OF THE HOMELESS, WHICH IS YOUR
NEXT, I THINK, AGENDA AT 2:00.
SO THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING THA
YOU GUYS NEED TO BE THINKING
ABOUT, IS ACTUALLY PUTTING YOU
TIME INTO THESE FACILITIES THA
YOU GUYS ARE OPENING UP TO THE
PUBLIC THAT ARE HOMELESS AND
THAT ARE LOW INCOME, BECAUSE I
DOESN'T LOOK LIKE YOU'RE PUTTIN
THEM IN A PRIORITY STANDPOINT
OR YOU'RE NOT REALLY LOOKING A
THEM, OR YOU'RE NOT REALLY
GIVING THEM WHAT THEY NEED,
BECAUSE THEY'RE STILL TURNING
TO THE DRUGS, AND THEY'RE STILL
HOMELESS, AND THEY DON'T WANT
THE HOUSING THAT YOU NEED, SO I
AM SAYING THERE IS A PROBLEM.
BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE NOT
WATCHING. YOUR FACILITIES THAT
YOU GUYS HAVE. THANK YOU.
>> THANK YOU, MS. SMITH. ARE
THERE ANY ADDITIONAL FOLKS
SIGNED UP FOR PUBLIC COMMENT
RIGHT NOW?
>> NO, THERE ARE NOT.
>> OKAY. WELL, THANK YOU VERY
MUCH, EVERYBODY, FOR PROVIDING
PUBLIC COMMENT, AND HAPPY TO
CIRCLE BACK TO SOME OF THOSE
REMARKS IN OUR PRESENTATION.
REALLY APPRECIATE THE FEEDBACK,
AND I DON'T SEE ANYBODY SIGNED
UP FOR REMOTE PUBLIC TESTIMONY
EITHER, SO WE ARE GOING TO GO
AHEAD AND CONCLUDE PUBLIC
COMMENT FOR TODAY. IF YOU HAVE
ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS, PLEASE
EMAIL COUNCIL@SEATTLE.GOV. I
WANT TO THANK COMMISSIONER
HERBOLD OF OUR COMMITTEE, JUST
FOR THE RECORD, VICE CHAIR
HERBOLD HAS JOINED US. EARLY IN
THE PRESENTATION.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. WE'RE
GOING TO MOVE ON TO THE FIRST
ITEM ON OUR AGENDA. MADAME
CLERK, COULD YOU PLEASE READ
ITEM ONE INTO THE RECORD?
>> AGENDA ITEM 1, RESOLUTION
32083, 2023 CAPITAL IMPROVEMEN
PROJECTS QUARTERLY MONITORING
WATCH LIST. FOR DISCUSSION AND
A VOTE.
>> OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
MADAME CLERK. COLLEAGUES, WE DO
HAVE A FEW ITEMS TO TALK ABOUT
HERE. THIS IS AGENDA ITEM NUMBE
ONE, RESOLUTION 32083 , AND
THANK YOU FOR THE EARLY
CONVERSATION THAT WE HAD WITH
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE. WE
ALSO EXTENDED AN INVITATION TO
EVERYBODY ON SEATTLE CITY
COUNCIL TO JOIN US IF THEY WOUL
LIKE FOR THE FINANCE AND HOUSIN
COMMITTEE MEETING . AS WE ARE
CONTINUING OUR CONVERSATION
ABOUT THE WATCH LIST, THIS IS A
WATCH LIST OF LARGE, COMPLEX,
DISCRETE CAPITAL PROJECTS THAT
WE'RE REQUIRE ENHANCED QUARTERL
MONITORING REPORTS, AND,
IMPORTANTLY, THAT ARE INCLUSIV
OF CITY FUNDING. SO SOME OF THE
PROJECTS THAT WE JUST HEARD
ABOUT IN PUBLIC TESTIMONY, VERY
IMPORTANT REMARKS, AND WE'LL
FOLLOW UP ON THOSE RELATED TO
FEDERAL DOLLARS. BUT THIS IS
SPECIFIC TO CITY FUNDING, SO
TODAY, WE DO HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO COME BACK TO THA
CAPITAL PROJECTS WATCH LIST, AN
CONSIDER ANY AMENDMENTS. WE'VE
HEARD FROM THE MAYOR'S OFFICE
THAT THEY FIND THIS TO BE A
MANAGEABLE LIST, WHICH WE
APPRECIATE, BUT ALSO WANTED TO
ENCOURAGE COUNSEL COLLEAGUES TO
REVIEW ONE MORE TIME TO SEE IF
THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE THAT THEY
WOULD LIKE TO ADD TO THIS
CAPITAL PROJECTS WATCH LIST.
SPECIAL THANKS TO EDIN, WHO IS
HERE WITH US TODAY FROM CENTRAL
STAFF FOR ALL OF THE WORK THAT
HE HAS DONE TO PUT TOGETHER
AMENDMENTS AND WORK WITH EACH O
OUR COUNCIL COLLEAGUES AS THEY
RAISE QUESTIONS OR IDEAS FOR
POSSIBLE CONSIDERATION FOR
AMENDMENTS. AND AS I MENTIONED,
GIVEN THAT WE HAVE ONE AMENDMEN
FROM A NON-COMMITTEE MEMBER,
I'VE OFFERED TO SPONSOR THAT
AMENDMENT AND ANY OF OUR
COUNCIL COLLEAGUES ARE WELCOME
TO JOIN US. I DON'T BELIEVE WE
HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL COUNCIL
COLLEAGUES JOINING US, BUT I
WILL BE READING INTO THE RECORD
AN AMENDMENT THAT I FIND THAT I
AM GOING TO SUPPORT AS WELL, AN
WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT
COUNCILMEMBER STRAUSS HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO BRING THIS
FORWARD WITHOUT HAVING TO BE
HERE WITH US. I WANT TO NOTE
THAT THE CAPITAL PROJECTS WATCH
LIST DOES NOT PRECLUDE
COMMTTEES FROM HAVING DEEPER
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE
TOTALITY OF THOSE PROJECTS . SO
WHILE WE CONSIDER THIS IN THE
FINANCE COMMITTEE, IT IS
ACTUALLY OUR PRACTICE TO
ENCOURAGE OTHER COMMITTEES TO G
DEEPER IF THERE'S SPECIFIC
PROJECTS THAT FALL WITHIN THE
PURVIEW OF THEIR COMMITTEES TO
ENSURE THAT THERE IS GREATER
OVERSIGHT, ESPECIALLY FOR
PROJECTS ON THAT WATCH LIST,
THAT, THAT YOU, COLLEAGUES, AND
POWERFUL CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS
ARE VERY INTERESTED IN. SO WE
ANTICIPATE THAT THERE MAY BE
ADDITIONAL CONVERSATIONS ABOUT
SOME OF THESE ITEMS IN
ADDITIONAL COMMITTEES AS WELL.
WITH THAT, JUST PAUSING TO SEE
IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS. OKAY,
GREAT. I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVE
TO COUNSEL CENTRAL STAFF TO WAL
US THROUGH THE AMENDMENTS.
THERE ARE TWO OF THEM ON THE
AGENDA, AS I NOTED AT THE
BEGINNING, AND, EDIN, WELCOME
BACK. IF YOU WANT TO REMIND US
WHERE WE ARE IN REVIEW OF THIS
PROCESS, AND I'M HAPPY TO TEE U
AND IT AMENDMENT FROM
COUNCILMEMBER STRAUSS , AND
COUNSEL NUMBER HERBOLD HAS
AMENDMENT NUMBER TWO. WE'LL GE
TO THOSE IN THE SECOND. THANKS,
EDIN, FOR BEING HERE.
>> THANK YOU, CHAIR MOSQUEDA.
LIKE YOU FOR THAT INTRODUCTION.
GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY. FOR
THE RECORD, WITH COUNSEL CENTRA
STAFF . SO AS A BRIEF REMINDER,
COUNCIL ESTABLISHED
EXPECTATIONS FOR ENHANCED
QUARTERLY REPORTING FOR THE
WATCH LIST . CAPITAL IMPROVEMEN
PROJECTS IN 2018 . THE PROCESS
CALLS FOR THE EXECUTIVE TO BOTH
A LIST OF PROJECTS OR INCLUSION
ON THE ANNUAL WATCH LIST I
JANUARY 15th OF EVERY YEAR , AN
THE THAT TYPICALLY ADOPTS THE
WATCH LIST AND RESOLUTION. SOME
ELEMENTS THAT MAY BE A GOOD
CANDIDATE PROJECT FOR THE WATCH
LIST INCLUDE PROJECTS WITH A
SIGNIFICANT LARGE AND COMPLEX
SCOPE AND FINANCIAL IMPACT ,
PROJECTS THAT ARE AT RISK OF
OVERSPENDING THEIR BUDGET OR
SCHEDULE MILESTONES , OR
PROJECTS WHOSE LIBERTY IS
PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT TO THE
COUNCIL. SO AS CHAIR MOSQUEDA

WE'LL HAVE YOU DO THE
PRESENTATION, THEN THE SPONSOR

TRANSFER CONVERSATION, THEN WE

JUST TAUGHT. CAN YOU GUYS SEE
THAT ONE OKAY? THE AMENDMENT
THAT'S ON THE SCREEN?
>> WE CAN SEE IT. YOU MIGHT

>> AWESOME. OKAY. SO AMENDMEN
NUMBER ONE IS ADDED BY
COUNCILMEMBER STRAUSS AND
SPONSORED BY CHAIR MOSQUEDA TO
ADD THE GREEN LAKE COMMUNITY
CENTER AND EVANS POOL
SUBSTANTIAL ALTERATION PROJECTS
TO THE WATCH LIST. THIS IS A
$60 MILLION PROJECT THAT WOULD
EXTEND THE LIFE OF THE GREEN
LAKE COMMUNITY CENTER AND EVANS
POOL FACILITY, AND UPDATE IT TO
MEET THE CURRENT ERGONOMIC
NEEDS , BUILDING CODE,
COMPLIANCE, AND STANDARDS.
>> OKAY, GREAT. THANKS SO MUCH,
AND I WILL GO -- I'M SORRY. EDI
, I WILL , I WILL GO AHEAD AND
MOVE THIS TO GET THIS IN FRONT
OF US. I MOVED THE COMMITTEE
RECOMMENDS PASSAGE OF RESOLUTIO
32083. IS THERE A SECOND?
>> SECOND.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IT HAS
BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED THAT
THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS PASSAG
OF THE , OF THE RESOLUTION. THE
RESOLUTION IS NOW IN FRONT OF
US. I ALSO MOVED TO AMEND
RESOLUTION THROUGH 2083 AS
PRESENTED ON AMENDMENT NUMBER
ONE AS DESCRIBED BY EDIN. IS
THERE A SECOND?
>> SECOND.
>> THANK YOU. IT HAS BEEN MOVED
AND SECONDED. THAT AMENDMENT
NUMBER ONE BE CONSIDERED.
COLLEAGUES, AGAIN, THIS IS AN
AMENDMENT THAT WAS DRAFTED BY
OUR COLLEAGUE, COUNCILMEMBER
STRAUSS. I'M VERY EXCITED THAT
HE WAS FOLLOWING CLOSE
ATTENTION TO OUR FINANCE AND
HOUSING COMMITTEE, AND WANTING
TO ENGAGE IN THIS WORK. HIS
AMENDMENT INCLUDES THE FOLLOWIN
REMARKS. EARLIER THIS YEAR, WE
FUNDED A LONG-AWAITED PROJECTS
TO REBUILD OR EXPAND THE GREEN
LAKE COMMUNITY CENTER AND EVANS
POOL. BY WAY OF BACKGROUND, THE
GREEN LAKE PARK IS THE MOST
HEAVILY USED PARK IN SEATTLE,
AND THE COMMUNITY CENTER IS
NEARLY 100 YEARS OLD. AS PROJEC
WAS ORIGINALLY PLANNED AS PART
OF ROUND ONE IN THE METROPOLITA
PARK DISTRICT FUNDING, GREEN
LAKE RESIDENTSPRIORITIZED OTHER
COMMUNITY CENTER REBUILDS DURIN
THAT METROPOLITAN PARK DISTRICT
ROUND ONE FUNDING, PUTTING OFF
THE REBUILDING OF THIS
COMMUNITY CENTER UNTIL AROUND
TWO OF THE METROPOLITAN PARKS
DISTRICTS. GREEN LAKE COMMUNIT
CENTER DID RECEIVE FUNDING FOR
RENOVATIONS DURING ROUND ONE
OF MPD FUNDING. THESE
RENOVATIONS HAVE BEEN MADE , AN
ARE ALREADY FAILING OR NOT
MEETING THE NEEDS OF THE
COMMUNITY CENTER. THERE HAS
BEEN MUCH PUBLIC DISCUSSION
ABOUT THE EXPANSION OR REBUILD
OF THE GREEN LAKE COMMUNITY
CENTER, AND IN THE SEATTLE TIME
EARLIER THIS WEEK, A PARKS
EMPLOYEE WAS QUOTING SAYING
THEY WOULD LIKE TO RENOVATE
EXISTING BUILDINGS. RENOVATIONS
HAVE BEEN MADE AND ARE ALREADY
FAILING. THIS IS WHY
COUNCILMEMBER STRAUSS PASSED A
AMENDMENT CLEARLY STATING THAT
THESE MPD FUNDS ARE TO BE USED
TO EXPAND OR REBUILD THE GREEN
LAKE COMMUNITY CENTER, NOT JUST
RENOVATE EXISTING BUILDINGS.
REBUILDING THE 100-YEAR-OLD
COMMUNITY CENTER IN THE MOST
HEAVILY USED PARK IN OUR CITY
HAS BEEN A LONG-AWAITED, AND IT
IS IMPORTANT TO STAY UPDATED ON
PROGRESS, ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT O
THE STATEMENTS MADE IN THE
SEATTLE TIMES ARTICLE THIS WEEK
THOSE ARE COUNCILMEMBER
STRAUSS'S COMMENTS. AGAIN, USE
THE SPONSOR OF THIS AMENDMENT,
AND I WILL BE SUPPORTING IT. AR
THERE ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS O
QUESTIONS ON THIS? OKAY. WELL,
WE WILL PASS ALONG THAT HE WAS
PERSUASIVE IN HIS EXPLANATION
ABOUT WHY TO ADD IT. LET'S GO
AHEAD AND, AND ACT ON AMENDMEN
NUMBER 1 AND MOVE ON TO NUMBER
2. AMENDMENT NUMBER 1 , MADAM
CLERK , I DON'T SEE ANY
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS ON THIS .
WILL YOU PLEASE CALL THE ROLE O
THE ADOPTION OF THE AMENDMENT?
>> COUNCILMEMBER HERBOLD?
>> YES.
>> COUNCILMEMBER HERBOLD?
>> YES.
>> COUNCILMEMBER NELSON?
>> AYE.
>> COUNCILMEMBER LEWIS?
>> YES.
>> CHAIR MOSQUEDA?
>> AYE..
>> FIVE YESES, NO, NO IT'S BEE
A PERFECT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
IT IS A UNANIMOUS. THE
RESOLUTION IS INCLUDING
AMENDMENT NUMBER 1 IS NOW
BEFORE US. THERE IS AN
ADDITIONAL AMENDMENT, AND I
WILL TURN IT OVER TO EDIN TO
WALK US THROUGH IT, AND THAT
I'LL TURN IT TO THE SPONSOR,
COUNCILMEMBER HERBOLD, FOR AN
EXPLANATION. CENTRAL STAFF,
PLEASE GO AHEAD.
>> PUTTING THIS ONE ON THE
SCREEN AS WELL. OKAY. SO
AMENDMENT NUMBER 2 IS SPONSORE
BY COUNCILMEMBER HERBOLD TO AD
THE APPLICATIONS DEVELOPMENT
PUBLIC SAFETY PROGRAM TO THE
WATCH LISTS. THIS PROJECT WILL
DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT A
SCHEDULING AND TIMEKEEPING
SYSTEM USED BY THE SEATTLE FIRE
DEPARTMENT TO IMPROVE PERSONNEL
OVERSIGHT AND DEPLOYMENT AND
ENHANCE THE ACCESSIBILITY AND
QUALITY OF THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT'S DATA. AND THE
APPLICATIONS WILL SUPPORT
ONGOING EFFORTS TO ACHIEVE
IMPROVED TRANSPARENCY AND
COMPLIANCE. AND THAT CONCLUDES
, CONCLUDES MY SUMMARY , AND
I'LL LEAVE THIS UP ON THE
SCREEN.
>> EXCELLENT. THANK YOU SO MUCH
VICE CHAIR HERBOLD, WOULD YOU
LIKE TO MOVE YOUR AMENDMENT
NUMBER 2?
>> SURE. I MOVE AMENDMENT
NUMBER 2.
>> SECOND.
>> EXCELLENT. THANK YOU. IT HAS
BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED. NUMBER
HERBOLD, AMENDMENT NUMBER 2 IS
IN FRONT OF US. WOULD YOU LIKE
TO SPEAK TO IT?
>> SURE. JUST A FEW WORDS. THIS
IS A LONG-STANDING PROJECT FOR
MANAGING SCHEDULES AND
IMPORTANT OVERSIGHT OF THINGS
LIKE OVERTIME FOR OUR FIRE
DEPARTMENT. IT WAS PREVIOUSLY
PROJECT THAT WAS BEING DONE
BOTH BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND
THE, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT . TH
FIRE DEPARTMENT STARTED HAVING
SOME DIFFICULTIES WITH ITS
CONTRACTOR , AND HAS -- IS
NEEDING TO SORT OF REVAMP THE
PROJECT, AND , YOU KNOW, I JUST
WANT TO STATE FOR THE RECORD, I
AM, I AM CONCERNED THAT THEY
POLICE DEPARTMENT ELEMENT OF
THIS PROJECT SEEMS TO HAVE BEE
DROPPED. IT'S THE WORK
SCHEDULING TIMEKEEPING PROJECT
IS WHAT IT WAS REFERRED TO OVE
THE POLICE SIDE OF, OF THE
HOUSE, AND WE HAVE BEEN TOLD
FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW THAT THE
WS D WAS INSTRUMENTAL TO
IMPLEMENTING SOME LONG-STANDING
, UNIMPLEMENTED RECOMMENDATIONS
OF THE CITY AUDITOR , RELATED
BOTH TO OVERTIME TRACKING AND
ALSO THE, THE MANAGEMENT OF
OFF-DUTY WORK. OF, OF OFF-DUT
POLICE OFFICERS. SO JUST, JUST
NOTING FOR THE PUBLIC RECORD
THAT I AM, I'M CONCERNED THAT I
DOES NOT APPEAR THAT THERE IS
ANY PLANNED PROPOSAL TO MOVE
FORWARD ON THE OBJECTIVES OF,
OF THIS PROJECT, OVER AT THE,
THE SPD SIDE OF THE HOUSE, BUT
AM, AM PLEASED TO, TO ADD THIS
AMENDMENT TO THE , TO THE WATC
LIST, AND THE AGREEMENT OF THE
EXECUTIVE THAT THIS IS A, A
GOOD PROJECT FOR, FOR OUR
ENHANCED OVERSIGHT. THANK YOU.
>> EXCELLENT. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. QUESTIONS ARE IT
COUNCILMEMBER NELSON?
>> IS THERE A DOLLAR AMOUNT OF
THIS PROJECT OR PROGRAM ? AND
THEN I ALSO HAVE A FOLLOW-UP .
>> I CAN ANSWER THAT. SO THE
TOTAL PROJECT COST WAS LISTED
AT $10.3 MILLION , AND THE
ADOPTED CIP, AND THERE IS ABOUT
A $4.3 MILLION REMAINING FOR
THIS PROJECT IN THE 23-28
ADOPTED BUDGET.
>> OKAY. I THINK THAT WHEN I
SAW THIS I WAS GETTING CAUGHT U
IN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT
IS A PROJECT IN A PROGRAM, AND
JUST FOR THE RECORD, IF WE HAD
BEEN INCLUDING PROGRAMS, I WAN
TO FLAG IDT'S UNIFIED
COMMUNICATIONS AND
COLLABORATION PROJECT. AGAIN,
IT'S CALLED PROJECT OR PROGRAM.
BUT I CONSIDERED A , SUBMITTING
AN AMENDMENT TO INCLUDE THAT,
BUT DIDN'T, BECAUSE I JUST --
MAYBE I'LL FOLLOW UP LATER ON
WHAT QUALIFIES AS INCLUSION ON
THE WATCH LIST. BUT SINCE I'M
TALKING, IS IT OKAY IF I JUST
MENTION , FLAG THIS FOR THE
RECORD, AND WE'LL SPEND MORE
TIME IN COMMITTEE PAYING
ATTENTION TO THIS?
>> THAT'S GREAT. THANK YOU SO
MUCH. I THINK THAT THAT'S A
GREAT WAY TO NOTED FOR THE
RECORD, AND WE CAN KEEP TRACK
FOR YOU, AND ALSO THROUGH
CENTRAL STAFF .
>> OKAY. IT'S, IT'S A 20, IT'S
A $20.8 MILLION AD , IF IT WAS
ADDED. WELL, THE 2023-28 CIP
ADDED $20.8 MILLION IN FUNDING
TO MEET THE ORIGINAL COMPLETIO
DATE, AND IT BASICALLY REPLACES
THE 30-YEAR-OLD PHONE SYSTEM,
INCLUDING OVER 40 DEPARTMENT
SPECIFIC CALL CENTERS. SO I'M
HAPPY TO PROVIDE MORE
INFORMATION, BUT I THINK WE'LL
BE WATCHING THIS AS WELL.
THANKS.
>> EXCELLENT. THANKS FOR
FLOGGING THAT. ARE THERE ANY
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR COMMENT
ON AMENDMENT NUMBER 2 AS
DESCRIBED BY CENTRAL STAFF AND
VICE CHAIR HERBOLD? OKAY. I'M
NOT SEEING ANYTHING.
