body
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF KING COUNTY:
SECTION 1. Findings:
A. The council finds that the music and film industries in King County have contributed to the economic vitality of the county and the cultural vibrancy of our communities. The local production of music, digital, television, video and film ("local production") increases tourism, provides family-wage jobs and generates tax revenues for the county from the sale of local goods and services associated with that local production. The council also finds the inherent value of promoting arts and culture associated with local production and the educational benefits a viable local production presence provides by increasing opportunities for training of local production and other creative economy professionals, who in turn will contribute to building a vibrant local production presence in the county. In recent years, the county has realized a drastic decline in local production. That has been exacerbated by the declining state tax credits for television and film production and the coronavirus disease 2019 ("COVID-19") pandemic. As a result, the county, and Washington state as a whole, has lost their competitiveness to attract production projects. In March 2022, the Washington state legislature passed House Bill 1914, which became Chapter 270, Laws of Washington 2022 and which expanded the Motion Picture Competitiveness Program by increasing business and occupation tax credits for motion picture production companies from $3.5 million annually to $15 million annually. With the state's increased film tax credits, along with an improved county production facility, it is expected that production projects will be attracted to the county and generate clean, green, local, family-wage jobs. Local production jobs include carpenters, electricians, prop masters, costume designers and other trades. The council further finds that investing in infrastructure to attract productions to the county will also support economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. The council finds that making available a production facility in the county will benefit the residents of King County and serves a county purpose.
B. On July 7, 2020, the council declared racism a public health crisis through Motion 15655, recognizing that both historically and currently, King County has been complicit in maintaining and perpetuating structural racism. That includes policy and funding decisions that prevented fair housing choice and equitable access to affordable housing and perpetuated discrimination and historic patterns of segregation.
C. The Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University has stated that a large and growing share of the public cannot find affordable housing, particularly among lower-income households and communities of color. The Center also has stated that housing insecurity is on the rise, particularly with the end of federal, state and local eviction and foreclosure moratoriums adopted during the COVID-19 pandemic.
D. The regional affordable housing task force 2018 five-year action plan, which was accepted by the council with Motion 15372, also states that communities of color and renters are disproportionately likely to be severely cost burdened, paying more than half of their income toward housing costs, and that renters are more likely than homeowners to be severely cost burdened.
E. The council has determined in its discretion that proceeding with the affordable housing projects proposed herein, specifically including issuing bonds to fund affordable housing projects as provided in the plan, will support affordable housing programs.
The council therefore finds that additional investment in affordable housing capital projects is necessary and appropriate to support communities with high risk of displacement due to historic inequities, continuing discrimination and the lingering effects of past discrimination and government divestment.
F. The council recognizes communities in the county historically and currently disadvantaged by racism, sexism, LGBTQIA+ discrimination and ableism have confronted heightened risks and experienced disproportionate health and economic impacts during the COVID-19 pandemic. As detailed in ordinances passed by the council since the onset of the pandemic and numerous reports and studies by the county and other public agencies and reputable organizations, the impact of centuries of structural racism and discrimination made these communities particularly susceptible to the disease and less financially prepared to weather the economic downturn resulting from COVID-19. The pandemic has resulted in significant increases in unemployment and underemployment, business closures, unmet need for mental health services, housing and food insecurity and homelessness, especially in disproportionately impacted communities. The council recognizes that, both historically and currently, the county has been complicit in maintaining and perpetuating structural racism that has contributed to the grave breadth and depth of disparities in the health and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
G. The council recognizes the continued need to adopt policies aimed at investing in, uplifting, and creating better health and economic outcomes for communities historically and currently disadvantaged by racism, sexism, LGBTQIA+ discrimination and ableism. The economic future of the county depends upon a healthy workforce with equitable access to quality healthcare, education, housing and other essential resources.
H. The council finds that it is appropriate and necessary for the county to respond to the disproportionate health and economic impacts described in this section by considering and adopting strategies, in program implementation and awards and provider selections, to address the challenges faced by historically and currently disadvantaged communities that have been disproportionately impacted by inequity and discrimination. That includes, but is not limited to, COVID-19 relief programs providing food security, housing assistance, assistance to domestic violence and sexual violence victims, tourism campaigns and small-business relief.
I. An inquest, required by Section 895 of the King County Charter, chapter 36.24 RCW and K.C.C. chapter 2.35A, is intended to investigate the cause of death of a community member occurs in the course law enforcement duties or while in custody. In providing significantly more money in the county's biennial budget to the county's inquest program as it currently exists, the council requests improved accessibility for the public on inquest findings and the number of fatalities where an action, decision or possible failure to offer the appropriate care by a member of any law enforcement agency might have contributed to the death. Additionally, the council requests information about the inquest program's efficacy and ability to achieve its intended goals, and options to alter the program to better achieve its objectives. The council finds that demographic data including the race and gender of the decedent is necessary to provide King County services and the information is necessary to provide transparency to the inquest process, assess any disproportionate impact of law enforcement related fatalities in minority populations and advance law enforcement accountability efforts.
SECTION 2. The 2023-2024 Biennial Budget is adopted and, subject to the provisions hereinafter set forth and the several amounts hereinafter specified or so much thereof as shall be sufficient to accomplish the purposes designated, appropriations are hereby authorized to be distributed for salaries, wages and other expenses of the various agencies and departments of King County, for capital improvements and for other specified purposes for the fiscal biennium beginning January 1, 2023, and ending December 31, 2024, out of the funds of the county hereinafter named and set forth in the following sections.

P3 PROVIDED FURTHER THAT:
Of this appropriation, $300,000 shall not be expended or encumbered until the executive transmits a report on programming for adults in detention and a motion that should acknowledge receipt of the report and a motion acknowledging receipt of the report is passed by the council. The motion should reference the subject matter, the proviso's ordinance number, ordinance section and proviso number in both the title and body of the motion.
The report shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
A. A description of programming available at each King County adult detention facility at the time of the report, including the types of programs available, how often they are available, the program capacity, which detention residents are eligible to participate, how many detention residents participate, any costs associated with administering each program and any evaluations of the programs;
B. A calculation of approximately how many hours of life-skill building or therapeutic support programming, or other out of cell social activities, are available per detention resident per day at the time of the report and of how many additional hours of programming or activities would be needed to provide approximately one hour of programming per adult detention resident per day, based on the average daily population of adults in detention in King County;
C. A study of successful life-skill and therapeutic support programming models at adult detention facilities across the United States, including adult detention facilities experiencing staffing shortages and limited financial resources similar to King County adult detention facilities, and a description of best practices and lessons learned from such models as well as from data and recommendations offered by national corrections organizations including, but not limited to, the National Institute of Justice and National Institute of Corrections;
D. A discussion of the levels of staffing, capacity of program providers and facility requirements needed in King County adult detention to: (1) align adult detention programming with national best practices; and (2) accommodate a level of adult programming equivalent to approximately one hour of life-skill building or therapeutic support programming per adult detention resident per day to ensure similar standards are met for all individuals in detention throughout King County;
E. A discussion of the estimated cost and other considerations that would be needed to secure the incremental difference between the requirements identified in subsection D. of this proviso and the resources available at the time of the report; and
F. Identification and provision of a list of near-term, actionable next steps to increase the availability of life-skill building and therapeutic support programming for adults in detention to mitigate the lack of programming and excessive time in cell isolation brought about by staffing shortages, knowing that staffing shortages will not be significantly mitigated in the near term. In prioritizing near-term actions, the executive should consider the urgency of mitigating the impacts to adults in detention of ongoing staff shortages that result in some residents spending a significant amount of time in their cells each day and seek ways to reduce isolation and potential health impacts to residents in detention that may have resulted in King County jail having the highest national death rate by both suicide and natural causes.
The executive should electronically file the report and motion required by this proviso no later than June 30, 2023, with the clerk of the council, who shall retain the original and provide an electronic copy to all councilmembers, the council chief of staff and the lead staff for the law, justice, health and human services committee or its successor.
SECTION 55. PUBLIC DEFENSE - From the general fund there is hereby appropriated to:
Public defense $169,529,000
The maximum number of FTEs for public defense shall be: 453.2
ER1 EXPENDITURE RESTRICTION:
Of this appropriation, moneys may not be encumbered or expended for twenty FTE attorney positions that shall remain unfilled except as set out in this expenditure restriction. For purposes of determining the appropriate FTE attorney staffing level for the department of public defense during the biennium, the office of performance, strategy and budget's staffing model forecasted the department of public defense should have an average monthly total of 498 felony assignments ("the base load"). To avoid the impact of sustained but unpredictable increases of felony filings by the prosecuting attorney's office on the department of public defense, if in each month of a two month-rolling period, the total number of felony assignments meets or exceeds the base load, as adjusted in accordance with this expenditure restriction, by multiples of 8, then the department of public defense is authorized to expend or encumber moneys to fill one of the 20 FTE attorney positions for each multiple of 8 additional felony assignments. The initial base load number of 498 shall incrementally be increased by 8 for each FTE attorney position authorized in accordance with this expenditure restriction. For explanatory purposes only, if in January the number of felony assignments exceeds the base load of 498 by 9 and in February the number exceeding the base load is 17 felony assignments, then the department is authorized to fill 1 FTE attorney position because for January and February the base load was exceeded by one multiple of 8. In March the base load would be reset at an average of 506 felony assignments. If in March the felony assignments exceed the adjusted based load of 506 by 9 felony assignments, then the department would be authorized to fill 1 of the remaining 19 FTE attorney positions because for February and March, the case load exceeded the adjusted base load of 506 felony assignments by a multiple of 8 and in April the base load would be adjusted to 514. If in April the number of felony assignments did not exceed the adjusted base load, which is 514, by a multiple of 8 and in May the number exceeding the adjusted base load is 12 felony assignments, then the department would not be authorized to fill 1 FTE attorney position because for April and May the adjusted base load was not exceeded by a multiple of 8 and the adjusted base load for June would remain at 514 felony assignments. If in June the base load, which is 514, was exceeded by 9 felony assignments, then the department would be authorized to fill one of the remaining 18 FTE attorney positions because for May and June the base load of 514 was exceeded by one multiple of 8 and the new adjusted base load for July would be 522.

ER1 EXPENDITURE RESTRICTION:
Of this appropriation for capital project #1132224, Black Diamond Open Space Acquisition, $10,000 shall be expended or encumbered solely for interpretive signage at the Black Diamond Ravensdale Creek Bridge.
P1 PROVIDED THAT:
Of this appropriation, $1,000,000 for capital project 1143934, South Plant Co-Digestion ("WTD capital project"), and $9,500,000 for capital project 1143795, Solid Waste Co-digestion Pre-processing Facility ("SWD capital project"), shall not be expended or encumbered until the executive transmits a commercial organics co-digestion planning report and a motion that should acknowledge receipt of the report, and a motion acknowledging receipt of the report is passed by the council. The motion should reference the subject matter, the proviso's ordinance number, ordinance section and proviso number in both the title and body of the motion.
A. For the purposes of this proviso, "feedstock" means the organics collected from generators of organic waste materials and is used as an input for a processing facility.
B. The department of natural resources and parks, solid waste division ("SWD") and wastewater treatment division ("WTD"), shall coordinate on the development of the commercial organics co-digestion planning report. The report shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
1. A description of the public engagement process used by SWD that includes a list of the stakeholders approached, how these stakeholders were engaged and a summary of the stakeholder concerns. The public engagement process shall include, but not be limited to, outreach to entities that provide organics collection to commercial customers or that provide organics processing;
2. An analysis from SWD that describes how the SWD capital project is expected to impact existing entities that provide organics collection to commercial customers or that provide organics processing while respecting the open-market system for commercial organics collection currently in place; i.e., rate subsidies should not be considered. The analysis shall include identification of any potential adverse impacts to these entities, including those resulting from competition for feedstock, and recommended strategies to mitigate the adverse impacts identified;
3. A discussion from SWD that provides justification for moving forward with this SWD capital project instead of other potential actions to enhance or expand the regional organics collection and processing system. The discussion shall specifically consider: (1) providing additional supports to existing entities that provide organics collection to commercial customers or that provide organics processing in order to expand regional capacity; or (2) moving forward with the exploratory partnership between the county and the Port of Seattle on sustainable aviation fuel if organics are identified in the ongoing feasibility study as potential aviation fuel feedstock;
4. An analysis from SWD for how it intends to flow control open market organic recyclables for digestion with respect to the current open market system;
5. An analysis from WTD that evaluates whether the utilization of anaerobic digesters at the South Treatment Plant in Renton for the co-digestion of organics with wastewater solids is likely to impact the designation and value of environmental credits referred to as Renewable Information Numbers ("RINS") attached to the sale of South Plant biomethane, and how any such an impact relates to provisions of the agreement for sale of South Plant biomethane and associated environmental credits; and
6. Separate project plans for the WTD and SWD capital projects, or a joint project plan that encompasses both projects. The separate project plans or the joint project plan shall be informed by the public outreach process described in subsection B.1. of this proviso and the analyses required by subsection B.2, 3., and 4 of this proviso. The separate project plans or the joint project plan shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
a. the WTD and SWD analyses on the best use of the commercial organics anticipated to be available as RCW 70A.205.545 is implemented;
b. the business case for the county providing justification for the county's investment in the WTD and SWD capital projects;
c. whether the SWD capital project will be operated by a third party or SWD, as well as the justification supporting the selected operator choice;
d. whether land acquisition will be needed to site the SWD capital project or whether existing county-owned land such as the Renton Recycling and Transfer Station will be used;
e. how the feedstock will be secured for the SWD capital project and whether acceptance of organics will be limited to the SWD service area. If acceptance of organics will not be limited to the SWD service area, the separate project plan for the SWD capital project or the joint project plan shall include a plan for mitigating the potential that the SWD capital project would be supported by revenues from county disposal feepayers but used by nonfeepayers;
f. whether all, a portion or none, of the pre-processed organics at the SWD capital project will go to the WTD capital project and a plan for how any pre-processed materials would be transported to the WTD capital project, as well as any supporting analysis;
g. a plan from WTD for mitigating any risks resulting from the impacts identified in the evaluation provided for in subsection B.4. of this proviso related to potential changes in RINS classifications resulting from utilization of WTD's South Plant digesters for co-digesting organics;
h. updated estimated capital and operating costs for both the WTD and SWD capital projects with any assumptions in the cost estimates clearly articulated;
i. a description of any proposed cost recovery or cost sharing arrangements for the WTD capital project and SWD capital project; and
j. next steps for both the WTD and SWD capital projects that include a high-level timeline with significant project actions and milestones.
The executive should electronically file the commercial organics co-digestion report and motion required by this proviso no later than November 1, 2024, with the clerk of the council, who shall retain an electronic copy and provide an electronic copy to all councilmembers, the council chief of staff and the lead staff for the transportation, economy and environment committee or its successor.
P2 PROVIDED THAT:
Of this appropriation, for capital project 1143993, CJ Enterprise Data Hub, $25,000 shall not be expended or encumbered until the executive transmits a CJ Enterprise Data Hub implementation plan and a motion that should acknowledge receipt of the plan and a motion acknowledging receipt of the plan is passed by the council. The motion should reference the subject matter, the proviso's ordinance number, ordinance section and proviso number in both the title and body of the motion.
The CJ Enterprise Data Hub implementation plan should be developed based on information gathered during Phases 1 and 2 of the CJ Enterprise Data Hub project and shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
A. An updated capital appropriation proposal form and benefit achievement plan for the project;
B. The status of participation agreements with the agencies involved in the project, including, but not limited to, the department of public safety, the department of adult and juvenile detention, superior court, district court and the prosecuting attorney's office;
C. An equity and social justice analysis of the project;
D. A discussion of the policy questions and objectives that the project will be designed to address, a description of the criminal justice data categories that would be included in the data hub and plans for creating a publicly accessible dashboard; and
E. A plan for implementing the project, including identification of potential funding sources and a project timeline.
The executive should electronically file the plan and motion required by this proviso no later than June 30, 2023, with the clerk of the council, who shall retain the original and provide an electronic copy to all councilmembers, the council chief of staff and the lead staff for the budget and fiscal management committee, or its successor.
SECTION 130. Effect of proviso or expenditure restriction veto. It is hereby declared to be the legislative intent of the council that a veto of any proviso or expenditure restriction that conditions the expenditure of a stated dollar amount or the use of FTE authority upon the performance of a specific action by an agency shall thereby reduce the appropriation authority to that agency by the stated dollar or FTE amount.
SECTION 131. If any provision of this ordinance or its application to any person
or circumstance is held invalid, the remainder of the ordinance or the application of the provision to other persons or circumstances is not affected.
