Good afternoon, everybody.

Glad everybody's here.

We took roll before we started the cameras.

Welcome.

Today is June 17th.

This is the meeting of parks and Seattle City Light.

This committee will come to order.

I'm Deborah Warez.

Will the clerk please call the roll?

Councilmember Strauss.

Councilmember Saka.

Councilmember Rivera.

Councilmember Kettle.

Chair Warren.

Thank you.

And I should note for the record that Councilman Rivera is excused for today.

All right.

Let's go on to approval of the agenda.

If there is no objection, the agenda will be adopted.

Hearing or seeing no objection, the agenda is adopted.

I'm going to have a rather lengthy chair's report because we have 10 items, and I want to set for the viewing public and for my colleagues, kind of an overview of where we're headed today.

There will be a regular public comment period before items on the agenda and one public hearing regarding resolution three two two zero six, the Seattle City Light Integrated Resource Plan, the IRP, which is item number one.

Comments should be related to items on today's agenda and within the purview of this committee during public comment, be related to the first item during the public hearing.

There are two resolutions, four appointments, and four ordinances on the agenda today.

The first item on the agenda is a resolution that approves Seattle City Light 2026 Integrated Resource Plan, which we affectionately call the IRP, the ERP.

This is the second time we'll be hearing about the IRP and the Seattle City Light strategy over the next 20 years.

The IRP is republished every four years with progress reports due every two years after each full IRP.

This IRP is focused on addressing changes in customer needs, existing power supply, and assumptions on new energy resources, technologies, and costs.

This presentation is seven slides and will be presented by Mr.

Rob Stantoff, interim GM.

Shabon Dowerty, Katie Ewing, Vereen Martin, Rebecca Klein, Natalie Randall from Seattle City Light, and of course Eric McConaughey from our own central staff.

If those if those um presenters change, you guys can introduce yourselves when you get up here.

The second item on the agenda is an ordinance, Council Bill 12128 from Seattle City Light authorizing a five-year memorandum of agreement and MOA with Washington State Ferries for system improvements on Pier 48 and the Seattle Terminal Electric Electrification Project.

Seattle Terminal that includes uh Coleman Dock and Pier 52.

This is a timely issue as the agreement is to be signed on July 1st.

So we will be taking a vote on that today.

Their slide deck has uh or their presentation is nine slides.

Item number three through six.

On the agenda are four appointments to the Board of Parks and Recreation Commission for three terms, three-year terms.

We will hear from a representative from each of the appointees.

Um my understanding is appointment one will be through a mayoral appointment, Bradley Kahn, number two, Phil Mang coming out of D7, a council appointee, Rebecca Rash out of D1, Council uh appointee, and James Williams out of D6, a council appointee.

This presentation will be presented by Michelle Finnegan, who is the interim superintendent sale and park recreation director.

The seventh item on the agenda is an ordinance council bill 121-229 authoring the entry into the amendment into amendment six.

I think we wrote that wrong, the entry.

This legislation allows the city to accept money from King County to pay for properties that have already been purchased or will be purchased soon.

Their presentation consists of eight slides.

And again, they will be presented by Michelle Finnegan, Lisa Ward from Sale of Parks and Rec, and our own Tracy Radcliffe from Council Central Staff.

The eighth item on the agenda is an ordinance, Council Bill 121230 that would establish authority for Seattle Parks and Rec to acquire parcels of Delridge Native Forest at fair market value.

Yeah, Delridge is in items number seven and eight.

And we'll have the same folks from Parks that I just rattled off earlier.

Michelle Finnegan and Gang.

So items nine and ten we are not voting on, but I'm gonna just say it very briefly, and we'll have the presenters go into more detail.

Item nine is resolution three two two one zero.

And item 10 is Council Bill 121 231 regarding the new retail rate.

These are City Lights 2027 2032 strategic plan resolution and new retail rates ordinance.

These items will be presented together as a resolution informs the ordinance.

The rate ordinance establishes new retail rate schedules, establishes a new customer class and conditions for data centers that demand large electrical loads, modifies eligibility for residential rate assistance, and expands the rate stabilization account mechanism.

And um again that's council bill one two one two three one.

We'll be hearing from these two pieces that we will be hearing these two pieces of legislation across three council meetings due to the size of this legislation.

The resolution will be heard today and voted on July 1st.
