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.
J. Throughout 2021 and into 2023, the demand for vaccination fluctuated with each new group that became vaccine eligible for either primary series or original or updated (bivalent) booster shots. As of July 17, 2023, the county's vaccination efforts resulted in the administration of approximately 6,239,812 doses of COVID-19 vaccine. By that date, eighty-five percent of King County residents had completed their primary vaccine series, fifty-three percent of residents had received at least one original booster, and thirty-three percent of residents had received an updated (bivalent) booster.
K. Demand for testing and vaccination may be impacted in 2023 and 2024 by several variables. Testing volumes will fluctuate based on any new variant and with likely seasonal increases in viral transmission. Vaccination demand will fluctuate as King County residents follow new booster recommendations.
L. 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 could move into a new phase, forward or backward, depending upon whether metrics measuring the region's community disease levels and health system capacity met state Department of Health criteria.
M. On May 13, 2021, Governor Inslee announced that the state was moving toward full reopening on June 30, 2021, under the state Roadmap to Recovery plan. All industry sectors previously covered by the plan, with some limited exceptions, were permitted to return to usual capacity and operations. Public health - Seattle & King County encouraged county residents to stay as vigilant as ever as the county faced more contagious COVID-19 variants.
N. On February 17, 2022, Governor Inslee announced the state would move into a less restrictive phase of the COVID-19 response. The Governor announced that as of March 12, 2022, the state would no longer require vaccine verification for large events and as of March 21, 2022, face masks would no longer be required in most settings, including K-12 schools and childcare settings. On July 29, 2022, Governor Inslee announced the rescission of twelve COVID-19 emergency proclamations related to certain health care facilities, effective October 27, 2022. On September 8, 2022, Governor Inslee announced that as of October 31, 2022, all remaining state COVID-19 emergency proclamations and the underlying state of emergency would be lifted.
O. On February 6, 2023, King County executive Dow Constantine signed a proclamation terminating the March 1, 2020, proclamation of emergency related to COVID-19. On May 11, 2023, the federal public health emergency for COVID-19 expired. Although emergency declarations related to COVID-19 have now ended at the federal, state, and local levels, the threat of COVID-19 remains, and King County is continuing diligent efforts to manage the public health and economic impacts of COVID-19 in the community. Further, King County operations and services continue to be impacted by COVID-19. And 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 N. of this section, have caused and continue to cause extraordinary, unprecedented, and devastating economic effects in King County and throughout Washington.
P. 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 expired December 31, 2021. CAA also extended the use of the CARES Act's Department of Treasury's Coronavirus Relief Fund to December 31, 2021; and
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 ARP Act, a new Section 603 was 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 received 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 before the emergency; or to make necessary investments in water, sewer, or broadband infrastructure.
Q. In response to the state and county declarations of emergency, guidance from the local health officer and state Department of Health, and continuing health and economic risks posed by COVID-19 even after the declarations of emergency expired, the county was required to and continues to take necessary protective measures to eliminate or lessen immediate threats to lives, public health and safety, and the local economy. Those measures are directly related to the emergency and its ongoing impacts 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.
R. King County declared racism as a public health crisis in June 2020, committing itself to work in stronger and better resourced partnerships with community organizations and leaders to disrupt and dismantle racism and protect the health and well-being of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color ("BIPOC"). King County recognizes that historically and currently it has been complicit in maintaining and perpetuating structural racism, and that it must be a vital player in dismantling oppressive systems that are grounded in white supremacy.
S. As recognized in Ordinance 19191, adopted by the council on November 10, 2020, communities historically disadvantaged by racism, sexism, and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex ("LGBTQIA+") 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.
T. Continuing relief is necessary for every community in the county, particularly those historically disadvantaged communities, including BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, immigrant, and refugee communities, that have suffered disproportionate health and economic impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic due to continuing discrimination and the lingering effects of past discrimination. The council further finds that, for all appropriations related to the COVID-19 pandemic 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 to respond to the pandemic and its ongoing impacts, 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.
U. The council finds that COVID-19 leave costs, including payroll costs, for employees dedicated to mitigating or responding to COVID-19 are necessary and reasonable for funding through the federal CLFRF.
V. The council finds that payroll costs corresponding to employee time spent on administrative work necessary due to COVID-19, as well as other related administrative expenses related to disbursing payments of CLFRF moneys and managing new grant programs established in response to COVID-19 are necessary and reasonable for funding through the federal CLFRF. The council further finds that the cost of consultants to support effective management and oversight of CLFRF moneys and grant programs, including consultation for ensuring compliance with legal, regulatory, and other requirements, are necessary and reasonable for funding through the federal CLFRF.
W. The council finds that the cost of providing vital government services, including, but not limited to, maintaining safe, secure, and humane detention facilities and community corrections programs, providing legal services and advice to county agencies on COVID-19-related matters, and performing procurement and purchasing tasks critical to county operations, are necessary and reasonable for funding through the federal CLFRF revenue loss moneys.
X. The council finds that COVID-19 continues to threaten the health of county residents. The council further finds that programs, services, and activities aimed at preventing and mitigating COVID-19, such as vaccination programs, medical care, testing, support for isolation or quarantine, enforcement of public health orders, support for prevention, mitigation, or other services in congregate settings, enhancement of public health data systems, and other public health responses, are necessary and reasonable for funding through the federal CLFRF.
Y. 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 were required to close, relocate, or otherwise significantly modify, or any combination thereof, their regular operations, including court services, trials, and other proceedings. The courts handled cases and provided other services either virtually or socially distanced, or both, including for a period 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 were delayed by necessity. Meanwhile, new cases continued to be filed, resulting in a significant backlog of cases. The superior court, the district court, the department of judicial administration, the prosecutor's office, and the department of public defense have incurred 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. While there has been substantial progress, case backlogs remain. The superior court, the district court, the department of judicial administration, the prosecutor's office, and the department of public defense also continue to require additional administrative and other supports to meet current COVID-19 safety protocols, including technologies to allow for remote proceedings and remote work. The council therefore further finds that additional moneys 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 ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Z. The council finds that the COVID-19 public health emergency, necessary mitigation measures, such as social distancing, and the pandemic-related economic downturn exacerbated mental health and substance use challenges experienced by people across the county. The county has implemented programs and services to address increased behavioral health needs, but these programs and services are inadequate to meet current demand. The council therefore also finds that additional moneys for programs and services aimed at addressing the behavioral health needs of county residents, including, but not limited to, prevention, treatment, recovery, and harm reduction for mental health, substance use, and other behavioral health challenges, are appropriate to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and its ongoing negative economic impacts.
AA. 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 council therefore also finds that additional moneys for domestic and sexual violence prevention services are appropriate to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and its ongoing 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.
BB. The council finds that gun violence is a public health crisis in the county, with disproportionate impacts on young people and historically disadvantaged communities. The council further finds that the COVID-19 pandemic aggravated risk factors for violence, including a lack of jobs and educational opportunities, increased stress and mental health concerns, and limited access to healthcare. The pandemic exacerbated the county's existing gun violence crisis, leading to significant increases in shots fired and shooting victims in 2020-2022 over prepandemic numbers. The council therefore also finds that additional moneys for programs and services aimed at gun violence prevention and remediation, including but not limited to focused deterrence, street outreach, violence interrupters, and hospital-based violence intervention models, complete with wraparound services such as behavioral therapy, trauma recovery, job training, education, housing and relocation services, and financial assistance, are appropriate to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and its ongoing negative economic impacts.
CC. The council finds that unsheltered homelessness was an existing crisis in the county before the COVID-19 pandemic, and that the pandemic caused significant new challenges and threats that exacerbated this crisis. People experiencing homelessness are at increased risk of infection through community spread of COVID-19 and are more likely to be hospitalized, require critical care, and die as a result of the pandemic. COVID-19-driven deintensification of congregate shelters dramatically increased the number of people living in public spaces during the pandemic and significantly increased the county's need for shelter space. The negative economic impacts of the pandemic, including loss of jobs and employment income, further exacerbated this crisis. The council therefore further finds that additional moneys to pay for homelessness response, including shelter and related programs and services for the unsheltered homeless, are appropriate to respond to the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
DD. The council finds that decreased access to childcare services and the lack or decrease in in-person learning for children during the COVID-19 pandemic continue to have 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 moneys for childcare services are appropriate to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and its ongoing negative economic impacts.
EE. The council finds that food insecurity has tripled in the county since March 2020. Food insecurity in King County increased during 2022 and remains higher than pandemic levels. The populations most affected by food insecurity are those that experience health disparities and structural racism and discrimination, including BIPOC, Latinx, immigrants and refugees, LGBTQIA+ 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 resulting from the pandemic. The council further finds that additional moneys are needed to address food insecurity resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and its ongoing negative impacts ongoing negative economic impacts, particularly in the provision of culturally appropriate food.
FF. 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 might 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 moneys are appropriate to provide technical assistance for federal grant opportunities and to increase language access support to allow equitable access to grant programs.
GG. The council finds that race- and ethnic-based discrimination and bias have increased during the pandemic due to inaccurate and misleading information about the source of the virus and how it spreads. The council therefore also finds that additional moneys to provide in-language communications on COVID-19 related issues and antihate and antibias response are needed to respond to the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
HH. 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 such as 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, worsened as work, education, and training programs were 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.
II. The council finds that for the appropriations included in this ordinance that are related to the COVID-19 pandemic 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. Utilization includes applying strategic consideration on the flexibility of funding source, documentation, and administrative effort of cost recovery.
JJ. By this ordinance, the council finds that it has obligated all $437.6 million in CLFRF under the ARP Act consistent with state and local law and the county's established practices and policies.
