Title

AN ORDINANCE relating to soliciting and accepting gifts, bequests and donations for the King County healthcare coalition; amending Ordinance 12076, Section 9, as amended, and K.C.C. 4.08.015, Ordinance 12525, Section 7, and K.C.C. 4.08.300, adding a new section to chapter K.C.C. 2.16 and adding a new section to K.C.C. chapter 2.80.

Body

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

1.  The King County healthcare coalition is a network of healthcare organizations committed to emergency preparedness and response.  It has more than three hundred participating organizations which prepare for emergencies through collaborative planning, training and exercises.  The department of public health administers the healthcare coalition.

2.  The healthcare coalition was originally funded with seed money through a one-time appropriation in 2005 related to medical surge preparedness for pandemic flu planning.  Since then, the healthcare coalition has been funded solely with federal preparedness grant funds, which are steadily declining.

3.  Healthcare organizations that participate in the healthcare coalition and the department of public health have developed options for sustaining funding for the healthcare coalition, including donations by organizations that participate in the healthcare coalition and other local businesses.

4.  Options for a donations program include a partnership with a 501(c)(3) organization that would accept donations and provide a grant to King County in support of the work of the healthcare coalition.

      BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF KING COUNTY:

      NEW SECTION.  SECTION 1.  There is hereby added to K.C.C. chapter 2.16 a new section to read as follows:

      A.  The executive, the director of the department of executive services, the director of the department of public health, the preparedness manager, the healthcare coalition program manager, the communications manager, councilmembers and staff who report directly to those officers or officials and who do so at those officers' or officials' direction, may solicit from the general public and business communities and all other persons, gifts, bequests and donations in support of the healthcare coalition.  Those persons also may accept from the general public and business communities and all other persons, gifts, bequests and donations to the county in support of the work of the healthcare coalition.

      B.  Once the gift, bequest or donation is accepted, the director of the department of public health shall ensure that expenditures from the gift, bequest or donation are consistent with the terms, if any, requested by the grantor.

      NEW SECTION.  SECTION 2.  There is hereby added to K.C.C. chapter 2.80 a new section to read as follows:

      This chapter does not apply to gifts, bequests or donations received for healthcare coalition purposes.

NEW SECTION.  SECTION 3.  There is hereby added to K.C.C. chapter 3.04 a new section to read as follows:

Neither the solicitation nor the acceptance of gifts, bequests, or donations pursuant to K.C.C. chapter 2.16 constitutes a violation of this chapter.
