The executive shall file written project status reports at the end of the first and second quarters and a final report and recommendation by the end of the third quarter with the clerk of the council for distribution to the lead staff of the budget and fiscal management committee or its successor.
ER3 Expenditure Restriction:
Of this appropriation, CIP Project A00510 shall be expended only on design and construction of a permanent dock facility in West Seattle to support the Elliott Bay Water Taxi service that meets the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
ER4 EXPENDITURE RESTRICTION:
Of this appropriation, $25,000 in CIP Project 316xxx, Seahurst Environmental Center, may be expended or encumbered only after the Seahurst Environmental Center has secured an equal amount of cash or in-kind contributions in private or nonprofit donations.
P1 PROVIDED THAT:
No portion of the funds appropriated for CIP Project A00453, Radio & AVL System Replacement, shall be expended on the issuance of a project request for proposals until the executive has submitted a report of a least-cost engineering analysis of the proposed radio and AVL systems. The analysis and report shall be prepared by the current lead consultant for the project who shall be directed to look for opportunities to reduce costs in all elements of the project and to identify what, if any, effect those reductions could be expected to have upon the functionality of the system. The report shall be submitted by March 1, 2004.
This report must be filed with the clerk of the council. The original and 15 copies must be filed with the clerk who will retain the original and forward copies to each councilmember and to the lead staff of the budget and fiscal management committee or its successor.
P2 PROVIDED FURTHER THAT:
The transit program shall provide twenty-seven high-quality retired passenger vans for exclusive use by nonprofit organizations or local governments that are able to address the mobility needs of low-income, elderly, disabled or young county residents. The council shall allocate vans by motion. Each agency selected to receive a van must enter into an agreement with King County that provides, among other things, that the agency shall defend and indemnify the county against any liability, be sufficiently insured to support the indemnity and defense obligation, and be able to maintain and operate the van for its remaining useful life. The council finds that such provision of vans supports the county's public transportation function by: reducing single occupancy trips, pollution and traffic congestion; supplementing the services provided by the county's paratransit system; and increasing mobility for the transit dependent for whom regular transit may not always be a convenient option.

The business case shall also include a quantifiable cost-benefit analysis and a countywide information technology organizational structure for each option. The business case shall include a preferred option and identify the criteria used to select the preferred option. The primary criterion used in selecting the preferred option shall be to reduce information technology management costs countywide. The executive shall transmit the vision and goals statement, quantifiable business case and motion by June 1, 2004.
The vision and goals statement, quantifiable business case and motion must be filed in the form of 15 copies with the clerk of the council, who will retain the original and will forward copies to each councilmember and to the lead staff for the labor, operations and technology committee or its successor.
P4 PROVIDED FURTHER THAT:
Of this appropriation $250,000 in project XXXXX shall be expended solely on lighting and public safety improvements at the Green Lake park and ride lot. The transit division shall coordinate the scope and implementation of this project with the King County cultural development authority.
