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; and is classified by the World Health Organization as a pandemic that spreads easily from person to person and may result in serious illness or death.
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. As a result of the continued worldwide spread of COVID-19, its significant progression in Washington state, and the high risk it poses to our most vulnerable populations, on March 23, 2020, 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. In describing COVID-19's impact on public health and the economy, the order noted the pandemic's progression in Washington state that continues to threaten the economy and remains a public disaster affecting life, health, property or the public peace. The order was extended twice, with the last extension expiring May 31, 2020.
E. 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, such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”), the Housing and Urban Development's Community Development Block Grants and Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund through Health and Human Services, as well the Treasury Department's Coronavirus Relief Fund. Certain of these relief programs apply to the county, which the county will use 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 public health emergency, including expenses preparing for, responding to mitigating impact of and preventing COVID-19.
F. On May 31, 2020, the Governor reiterated that a State of Emergency continues to exist, but amended the "Stay Home - Stay Healthy" proclamation and renamed it the "Safe Start - Stay Healthy" proclamation, and that except as provided in the phased county reopening plan, all other provisions of the State of Emergency remain in force.
G. COVID-19 and the related preventative measures necessitated by the pandemic, including those outlined in the "Safe Start - Stay Healthy" order, are causing extraordinary, unprecedented and devastating economic effects in King County and throughout Washington.
H. 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. 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. The pause will continue indefinitely. King County is currently in the high-risk category for disease transmission with 92.6 cases per 100,000 residents based on county data for the past two weeks.
I. 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 and respond to the public health emergency are reasonable 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.
J. Certain expenditures in this ordinance are intended to be eligible for reimbursement. The expenditures, which are necessary as a direct result of and to respond to the public health emergency include, but are not limited to: supplies and commodities directly related to the public health emergency and services being provided by the county; emergency medical care; medical sheltering; emergency distribution of food and supplies; security and law enforcement; emergency transportation; new medical supplies required as a result of the emergency and essential to the public health and safety services being performed; costs associated with quarantine, such as cleaning and disinfecting facilities and equipment, the cost of deintensification sheltering; leasing facilities to provide congregate sheltering for isolation and quarantine to target populations including COVID-19 positive individuals and those who have been in contact with COVID-19 positive and asymptomatic high risk individuals; other services and associated costs incurred due to the "Stay Home - Stay Healthy" order and the local public health officer order; and other items such as telework support for essential public health and safety personnel.
K. All of the measures proposed in this ordinance, including emergency operations, public health and safety COVID-19 response, personal protective equipment, housing and eviction prevention, hazard pay, food security, digital access, behavioral health COVID-19 response, preventative public health measures taken for judicial administration, jail and other agencies and other costs, are in the public interest, and reasonable and necessary expenditures necessary to prevent, prepare for, mitigate against and respond to COVID-19 and incurred due to the COVID-19 public health emergency. The costs were not accounted for in the most-recently approved state or county budget before March 27, 2020; and will be incurred by the county during the covered period, currently set to end December 30, 2020.
L. On June 18, 2020, the King County board of health adopted Resolution 20-08, which declared racism as a public health crisis. The council acknowledges the board of health's resolution and recognizes that COVID-19 disproportionately impacts historically disadvantaged communities such as Black, Hispanic/Latinx, Indigenous and other communities of color. The board of health found that structural, historical and systemic racism are the root causes for this disproportionate impact. The council recognizes the devastating impacts of COVID-19 throughout the county and that relief is necessary for every community impacted, particularly those historically disadvantaged communities more adversely impacted by COVID-19. The council is also committed to creating policies aimed at uplifting and creating better health and economic outcomes for historically disadvantaged communities that will in turn benefit the county as a whole.
M. The council recognizes that the King County board of health and numerous other public agencies and reputable organizations have documented that those who have been historically disadvantaged by racism, sexism, and LGBTQ+ discrimination have experienced worse health outcomes and greater challenges to remain healthy during the COVID-19 pandemic. Looking at infection and death rates alone, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data, Hispanic/Latinx and Black residents of the United States have been three times more likely to become infected than their white neighbors. Black and Hispanic/Latinx residents also have been nearly twice as likely to die from infection than white people. Hispanic/Latinx residents in particular, between age forty and fifty-nine, have been infected at five times the rate of white people in the same age category.
N. The council further recognizes that other factors, such as lack of insurance, a primary care doctor, certain chronic health conditions, severe obesity, or an active pregnancy can all heighten the health risks from COVID-19 and are more ubiquitous amongst certain historically disadvantaged communities. According to King County public health's April 17, 2020, report, Communities Count: Summary of Findings Communities in King County that may be more impacted by the new coronavirus (COVID-19), Hispanic/Latinx individuals and American Indian/Alaska Native ("AIAN") individuals are the most likely to be uninsured. Additionally, forty-one percent of Hispanic/Latinx adults, thirty-one percent of multiple-race adults and twenty-nine percent each of AIAN and Asian adults in the county lack a personal doctor. Likewise, AIAN adults in the county had the highest rates of high-risk chronic conditions, which are thirty-seven percent, followed by black adults, which are twenty-six percent, and multiple-race adults, which are twenty-four percent. Those conditions include heart disease, diabetes and lung diseases. Hispanic/Latinx and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander ("NHPI") adults had the highest rates of severe obesity, which are five percent each.
O. The council also recognizes that LGBTQ+ adults also experience similar heightened risk factors impacting their health. American LGBTQ+ individuals are more likely to live in poverty and lack access to adequate medical care, paid medical leave, and basic necessities during the pandemic. For example, the Human Rights Campaign reports that seventeen percent of LGBTQ+ adults do not have any kind of health insurance coverage, compared to twelve percent of non-LGBTQ+ adults. Additionally, twenty-three percent of LGBTQ+ adults of color, twenty-two percent of transgender adults and thirty-two percent of transgender adults of color have no form of health coverage. LGBTQ+ adults continue to face discriminatory treatment in health care settings, leaving many less likely to seek medical care. Inequalities faced by transgender individuals in particular, including policies based on binary gender norms, also increase the risk of illness and mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic.
P. The council further recognizes that significant imbalances in the number of COVID-19 cases as well as deaths highlight systemic inequities unrelated to other health issues or comorbidities. Those include the ability to work from home, use of public transportation and whether homes or workspaces are crowded. According to census data analyzed by the New York Times, forty-three percent of black and Hispanic/Latinx workers are employed in service or production jobs that largely cannot be done remotely. Similarly, LGBTQ+ workers are more likely to work in industries with increased exposure to COVID-19. Hispanic/Latinx people are twice as likely as white people to reside in a crowded dwelling with less than 500 square feet per person.
Q. The council recognizes that in addition to health impacts, COVID-19 has had disproportionate economic impacts on historically disadvantaged groups, including black, Hispanic/Latinx, indigenous and other communities of color. Historically disadvantaged groups were in a more vulnerable position to financially weather the economic downturn resulting from COVID-19. For example, King County public health's Communities Count report found that, before the pandemic, AIAN county residents, at forty-six percent, and black county residents, at forty-seven percent, were the most likely to have incomes below two-hundred percent of the federal poverty line.
R. The council further recognizes that, due to centuries of structural racism, people of color may have fewer high-value assets and less emergency funding available. According to an April 2020 Pew Research study, seventy-three percent of black adults, and seventy percent of Hispanic adults, said they did not have emergency funds to cover three months of expenses; around half of white adults, forty-seven percent, said the same. Likewise, according to the Human Rights Campaign, LGBTQ+ people of color have felt a greater impact than their white counterparts: incurring more lost work hours and unemployment as well an inability to take unpaid leave and pay bills, including rent.
S. The council recognizes that historically disadvantaged groups have also seen disproportionate impacts on their businesses from COVID-19, including decreases in the number of minority-and female-owned businesses. According to a working paper published by the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research, The Impact of COVID-19 on Small Business Owners: Evidence of Early Stage Losses from the April 2020 Current Population Survey, based on surveys the U.S. Bureau of the Census and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics conduct monthly, along with other nationally representative government datasets, between February to April 2020, black-owned businesses declined by forty-one percent, immigrant-owned businesses dropped by thirty-six percent, Hispanic-owned businesses by thirty-two percent, Asian-owned businesses by twenty-six percent and women-owned businesses by twenty-five percent. In that same period, white-owned businesses fell seventeen percent.
T. The council also recognizes that the surge in unemployment claims after COVID-19 hit was especially prevalent in communities of color in the county. King County public health reports that of the 407,557 new unemployment claims filed in the county between March 1 and June 20, 2020, substantially more AIAN, at 32.4 percent, Black, at 31.6 percent, Hispanic/Latinx, at twenty-two percent, Asian, at 22.6 percent, multiple race, at 24.9 percent, and NHPI, at 42.6 percent, adults filed than white adults, at 20.4 percent.
U. The council finds that relief is necessary for every community in the county, particularly those historically disadvantaged 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 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, including COVID-19 relief programs for food security, housing assistance, domestic violence and sexual violence victims, tourism campaigns and small-business relief. The strategies should take into account the dire need to provide relief as quickly as possible during this crisis 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.
V. 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 finds that such expenditures are necessary and reasonable for funding through the Coronavirus Relief Fund. The council 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 Coronavirus Relief Fund, currently held in the grants subfund.
W. The county previously appropriated and incurred expenditures that it submitted to FEMA for cost-shared reimbursement. The county anticipates the need to use the Coronavirus Relief Fund to pay for the local match portion of those expenditures. The council finds that it is necessary and reasonable for the county's local match portion to be paid for from the Coronavirus Relief Fund.
X. The council has authority to enact an emergency appropriation ordinance as set forth in Section 470.20 of the King County Charter.
