Body
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF KING COUNTY:
SECTION 1. Findings: The 2014 Annual Budget Ordinance 17695 included two provisos, Section 18, Proviso P3, as amended, and Section 33, Proviso P1, as amended, relating to access by and services to limited English populations. The office of performance, strategy and budget submitted a timely report that was fully responsive to subsection A. of the provisos. However, councilmembers had concerns about the report submitted by the department of elections in response to subsection B. of the provisos, and are requiring further work from the department in 2015/2016 via a new proviso in the 2015-2016 Biennial Budget Ordinance 17941, Section 34, Proviso P2. Without an amendment striking the provisos from the 2014 Annual Budget Ordinance, Ordinance 17695, to release the restricted moneys, county agencies might exceed their budgets, which would create a potential for audit findings. The removal of the provisos from Ordinance 17695 does not modify the intent in Ordinance 17941, Section 34, Proviso P2, for the department of elections to continue work on the topic.
SECTION 2. From the general fund there is hereby appropriated a net total of $6,071,000 to several annual general fund agencies and a net total of $276,000 to an annual capital fund budget, amending the 2014 Annual Budget Ordinance, Ordinance 17695.
