body
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF KING COUNTY:
SECTION 1. Findings:
A. On February 29, 2020, the Governor of Washington state declared a state of emergency in all counties in Washington and directed that the plans and procedures of the Washington State Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan be implemented as a result of coronavirus disease 2019 ("COVID-19").
B. COVID-19 is a respiratory disease that can result in serious illness or death and can easily spread from person to person. The World Health Organization has classified COVID-19 as a pandemic.
C. On March 1, 2020, King County executive Dow Constantine signed a proclamation of emergency enabling "extraordinary measures" to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak. On March 3, 2020, the council passed Motion 15610, affirming the executive's proclamation of emergency.
D. On March 23, 2020, as a result of the continued worldwide spread of COVID-19, its significant progression in Washington state, and the high risk it posed to our most vulnerable populations, the Governor issued a "Stay Home - Stay Healthy" order prohibiting, with limited exceptions, all people in Washington state from leaving their homes or participating in social, spiritual and recreational gatherings of any kind regardless of the number of participants, and required all nonessential businesses in Washington state to cease operations except for performing basic minimal operations. The order was extended twice, with the last extension expiring May 31, 2020.
E. On May 31, 2020, the Governor reiterated that a state of emergency continued to exist but amended the "Stay Home - Stay Healthy" proclamation and renamed it the "Safe Start - Stay Healthy" proclamation. The Governor ordered that, except as provided in the phased county reopening plan, all other provisions of the state of emergency remained in force.
F. On June 5, 2020, King County entered Modified Phase 1 of the Safe Start Plan. Then, on June 19, 2020, King County entered Phase 2 of the Safe Start Plan.
G. On July 28, 2020, the Governor paused counties progressing in the reopening phases under the state's Safe Start Plan due to continued rise of cases and spread of COVID-19 statewide.
H. On November 15, 2020, in response to a doubling of statewide COVID-19 cases between late October and mid-November 2020, the Governor imposed new restrictions on, among other things, indoor gatherings, dining and fitness. The Governor originally ordered those restrictions to remain in place through December 14, 2020, before extending the restrictions twice to apply through January 11, 2021.
I. On December 11, 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued the first emergency use authorization for a vaccine to prevent COVID-19, which allowed the vaccine to be distributed in the United States. Days later, the first doses of the COVID-19 vaccine arrived in King County, which were administered to front-line healthcare workers. As of May 3, 2021, the county's vaccination efforts have resulted in the administration of approximately 1,225,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine.
J. On January 5, 2021, the Governor announced "Healthy Washington - Roadmap to Recovery," a COVID-19 phased recovery plan. Under this plan, a region in the state may move into a new phase, forward or backward, depending upon whether metrics measuring the region's community disease levels and health system capacity meet state Department of Health criteria.
K. On March 22, 2021, the Puget Sound region, including King County, moved to Phase 3 of the plan, which permits indoor dining, retail, fitness and worship services at fifty percent capacity, as well as at-home social gatherings limited in size. King County currently has a COVID-19 transmission rate of 242.3 newly diagnosed cases per 100,000 residents, based on county data for the two weeks ending April 25, 2021, and 6.5 newly hospitalized cases per 100,000 residents, based on county data for the one week ending April 25, 2021. These rates indicate the county's need to revert to Phase 2, however, on May 4, 2021, the Governor announced a two-week pause on movement in the COVID-19 phased recovery plan to keep the county remaining in Phase 3 until further notice. Public Health - Seattle & King County is encouraging county residents to stay as vigilant as ever as the county faces more contagious COVID-19 variants.
L. As further described in this section, COVID-19 and the related preventative measures necessitated by the pandemic, including those outlined in the executive orders summarized in subsections A. through K. of this section, have caused and continue to cause extraordinary, unprecedented and devastating economic effects in King County and throughout Washington.
M. The federal government has provided the following relief in response to the COVID-19 pandemic:
1. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("the CARES Act"), a $2.2 trillion federal stimulus package, became law. The CARES Act provides relief to state and local governments through a variety of federal agencies and programs. Some of these relief programs apply to the county, and the county has used the moneys provided by these programs to either pay or reimburse, or both pay and reimburse, the county for necessary expenditures incurred due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including expenses preparing for, responding to, mitigating impact of and preventing COVID-19.
2. On December 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act ("CRRSAA") within the 2021 Consolidated Appropriations Act ("CAA"), which provided an additional $900 billion in federal stimulus, became law. CRRSAA funding programs include Federal Transit Administration transit infrastructure grants, the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Emergency Rental Assistance Program, and the Department of Health and Human Services Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund. Several county departments are eligible to either receive or administer, or both, those moneys, which recipients may use to pay for, or to reimburse, expenses related to the ongoing COVID-19 health emergency. As part of CRRSAA, the U.S. Department of the Treasury awarded the county Emergency Rental Assistance moneys. Not less than ninety percent of awarded moneys must be used for direct financial assistance, including rent, rental arrears, utilities and home energy costs arrears, and other expenses related to housing. Remaining moneys are available for housing stability services, including case management and other services intended to keep households stably housed, and administrative costs. Moneys generally expire December 31, 2021. CAA also extended the use of the CARES Act's Department of Treasury's Coronavirus Relief Fund to December 31, 2021.
3. On March 11, 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 ("the ARP Act"), a $1.9 trillion federal relief package, became law. The ARP Act provides relief to state and local governments, including the county, through a variety of federal agencies and programs. Under Section 9901 of the APR Act, a new Section 603 is added to Title VI of the Social Security Act to provide the Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery Fund ("CLFRF") to mitigate the fiscal effects stemming from the pandemic with respect to COVID-19. The county will receive a direct allocation of CLFRF moneys. As provided for under Section 9901, CLFRF moneys must be used: to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic or its negative economic impacts, including assistance to households, small businesses and nonprofit organizations, or aid to impacted industries such as tourism, travel and hospitality; to respond to workers performing essential work during the COVID-19 pandemic by providing premium pay to eligible county workers who are performing that essential work, or by providing grants to eligible employers that have eligible workers who perform essential work; for the provision of government services to the extent of the reduction in revenue of such county due to the COVID-19 pandemic relative to revenues collected in the most-recent full fiscal year of the county prior to the emergency; or to make necessary investments in water, sewer or broadband infrastructure.
N. In response to the state and county declarations of emergency, as well as guidance from the local health officer and state Department of Health, the county was required to and continues to take necessary emergency protective measures to eliminate or lessen immediate threats to lives, public health and safety. These measures are directly related to the emergency and include the county's response to mitigate community transmissions of COVID-19. The actions taken by the county to prevent, prepare for, mitigate against and respond to the pandemic are reasonable, necessary and prudent given the county's needs and the information available at the time, and in accordance with federal regulations and cost principles. Internal policies and procedures, including procurement guidelines to support the work and expenditures made were followed. All expenditures made were in carrying out the legal responsibilities of the county.
O. As recognized in Ordinance 19191, adopted by the council on November 10, 2020, communities historically disadvantaged by racism, sexism and LGBTQI+ discrimination have suffered disproportionate health and economic impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, and greater challenges to remaining healthy. Subsequent studies and reporting reaffirm the data cited in that prior ordinance. For instance, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and public health - Seattle & King County have continued to report that racial and ethnic minority groups are disproportionately represented among COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths.
P. The council finds that relief is necessary for every community in the county, particularly those historically disadvantaged communities, including immigrant and refugee communities, that are more-adversely impacted by COVID-19 due to continuing discrimination and the lingering effects of past discrimination. The council further finds that, for all appropriations included in this ordinance, it is appropriate and necessary for the county to consider and address strategies, in program implementation and awards or provider selections, to address those historically disadvantaged communities that have been disproportionately impacted by inequities and discrimination, in order to respond to the disproportionate health and economic impacts described in this section. The strategies should take into account the dire need to provide relief as quickly as possible during this pandemic and may include, by way of example, recruitment and outreach for potential subcontractors, grant recipients and other beneficiaries, as well as consideration of whether individuals and organizations are members of, provide services to or are located in historically disadvantaged communities in distributing limited benefits to qualified applicants.
Q. The council finds that COVID-19 leave costs as well as payroll costs, including benefits, for employees that have been substantially dedicated to addressing the impacts of the COVID-19 public health emergency or who are reassigned to responsibilities mitigating the impacts of COVID-19, across any and all departments are a substantially different use from the expected use at the time of original appropriation. The council further finds that such expenditures are necessary and reasonable for funding through the federal CLFRF. The council further finds it is therefore appropriate that COVID-19 leave costs and payroll costs, including benefits, for those employees who have been reassigned or substantially dedicated to COVID-19 mitigation efforts be paid from the federal CLFRF, currently held in the grants subfund.
R. The council finds that the county's judicial system has been adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The county superior court and district court have been required to close, relocate or otherwise significantly modify, or any combination thereof, their regular operations, including court services, trials and other proceedings. The courts are handling cases and providing other services virtually and/or socially distanced, including at Meydenbauer Center, to the extent feasible and safe and as permitted by law. Despite those efforts, criminal, juvenile offender, family, dependency and guardianship, civil and other cases have been delayed by necessity. Meanwhile, new cases continue to be filed, resulting in a significant backlog of cases. The superior court, district court, judicial administration prosecutor's office and public defense have additional costs to handle increased caseloads, case backlogs due to COVID-19 response and provide virtual and socially distanced proceedings and services, including operations at the Meydenbauer Center, modifications to audio and visual facilities in courthouses, additional and overtime staff and additional communications and interpreter-related expenses. The council therefore further finds that additional funds to pay for increased costs related to staff, services and operations in superior court, district court, judicial administration prosecutor's office and public defense are appropriate to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.
S. The council finds that the COVID-19 pandemic has intensified the risk of domestic and sexual violence and increased the need for domestic and sexual violence services due to, among other things, the impact of stay-at-home orders contributing to social isolation, separating survivors from their support networks, reducing the time survivors have away from their abusers and diminishing access to childcare services, food and education, as well as increased financial stress on families that can lead to violence. The pandemic also has increased the severity and number of behavioral health symptoms experienced by people across the county due to far-reaching medical, economic, social and political consequences. The council therefore also finds that additional funds for domestic and sexual violence and behavioral health services are appropriate to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and its negative economic impacts. Domestic and sexual violence services may include behavioral health - trauma recovery services and housing stability services utilizing the Domestic Violence Housing First model to help domestic and sexual violence survivors address barriers to housing stability.
T. The council finds that decreased access to child care services and the lack or decrease in in-person learning for children during the COVID-19 pandemic are having significant and wide-ranging adverse impacts on families, particularly lower income families and those in historically disadvantaged communities. The council therefore also finds that additional funds for child care services are appropriate to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and its negative economic impacts.
U. The council finds that the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions on activities have slowed and, in many cases, prevent new construction projects from moving forward in the county, resulting in adverse impacts on the construction industry. The emergency also has resulted in delays in the county's ability to process permit applications and a backlog in applications as new permits continue to be filed. The council further finds that providing additional resources to significantly reduce the wait times for county permits and work through the backlog of applications will allow job-creating projects to begin construction more quickly and support economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
V. The council finds that the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic impacts have resulted in decreased levels of health insurance coverage for county residents, particularly in historically disadvantaged communities that have been especially hard hit by both the COVID-19 pandemic and the related economic downturn. Lack of insurance coverage can have substantial health and economic consequences for not only individuals, but also their families and communities. In January 2021, President Biden signed an executive order to open up the federal health insurance marketplace through May 15, 2021, to allow uninsured people to buy a plan and those who want to change their marketplace coverage can do so. The council further finds that providing funds for programs to help enroll people in health insurance during this enrollment period is appropriate to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and its negative economic impacts.
W. The council finds that food insecurity has tripled in the county since March 2020. The populations most affected by food insecurity are those that experience health disparities and structural racism and discrimination, including Black, Latinx, Indigenous and other people of color, immigrants and refugees, LGBTQI+ people, people with disabilities and people who are experiencing homelessness. In response, community-based, faith-based and cultural organizations began distributing culturally appropriate food, but there remains a significant unmet need. The council further finds that these community organizations report a need for additional resources to meet increased need during this emergency. The council further finds that additional funds are needed to address food insecurity resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and its negative economic impacts, particularly in the provision of culturally appropriate food.
X. The council finds that residents, businesses, nonprofit organizations and other organizations in the county face barriers in accessing federal, state and local grant opportunities related to the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly those from historically disadvantaged communities who may not have previously participated in publicly funded grant programs due to ongoing discrimination and the lingering effects of past discrimination. The council therefore also finds that additional funds are appropriate to provide technical assistance for federal grant opportunities and to increase language access support to allow equitable access to grant programs.
Y. The council finds that race- and ethnic-based discrimination and bias have increased during the pandemic due to inaccurate and misleading information regarding about the source of the virus and how it spreads. The council therefore also finds that additional funds to provide in-language communications on COVID-related issues and anti-hate and bias response are needed to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Z. The council finds that the COVID-19 pandemic has widened disparities in the workforce and accelerated automation. Health and safety measures forced many employers to adopt automation, resulting in the loss of entry-level and low-wage jobs like retail salespersons, cashiers, bartenders and waiters. Those changes have significantly impacted workers with a high school education or less, older workers, and workers from historically disadvantaged communities. Disparities that existed before the pandemic, especially those related to digital skills and reliable internet access, are worsening as work, education and training programs are digitized. The council further finds that additional moneys are needed to plan for and implement a strategy to address the future of work, including training, increasing digital proficiency and access and monitoring and supporting the overall workforce transition. The council further finds that investment in industries adversely impacted by the pandemic and its secondary effects is necessary to ensure those industries recover and to provide new and sustainable job opportunities for laid off and underemployed people as quickly as possible.
AA. The council finds that public use of county parks and other facilities that allow for social distancing has dramatically increased throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. The council therefore also finds that additional funds for the department of natural resources and parks are appropriate to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.
BB. The council finds that for the appropriations included in this ordinance the executive will utilize a comprehensive and detailed cost recovery and funding optimization framework to inform the best use of the various revenue sources including, but not limited to, the CARES Act, CRRSAA, the ARP Act, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, state funding and local funding. This includes applying strategic consideration on the flexibility of funding source, documentation, and administrative effort of cost recovery.
CC. The council has authority to enact an emergency appropriation ordinance as set forth in Section 470.20 of the King County Charter.
