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)) November 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.

((Of this appropriation, $2,000,000 shall not be expended or encumbered until the executive transmits four transit riders now reports in accordance with this proviso. Each transit riders now report shall describe the recommended additions, reductions or restructures to transit service proposed for the respective fall 2023, spring 2024, fall 2024 and spring 2025 transit service changes that in accordance with the Metro transit department's service plan indicates, at least the next two biennia, to occur twice a year in the spring and fall. Therefore, each report shall be accompanied by a proposed ordinance that would approve the transit service changes to implement the recommendations in the report. Each ordinance should reference the subject matter, the proviso's ordinance number, ordinance section and proviso number in both the title and body of the ordinance. Upon adoption of each ordinance, $500,000 is released for encumbrance or expenditure.
A. Over the last several years, the Metro transit department has implemented a series of transit service reductions and restorations using the emergency powers in K.C.C. 28.94.020.B.2.a. to respond to the changing operational needs, ridership patterns and staffing levels that have resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic. The proposed 2023-2024 biennial budget would appropriate funding for one hundred ninety-one thousand four hundred annual transit service hours in addition to the service offered in October 2022. The additional transit service hours are proposed to be added gradually as part of the fall 2023, spring 2024 and fall 2024 service changes. More service is expected to be added as part of the spring 2025 service change. It is imperative that the additional transit service reflect the needs of current transit riders, by responding to changing ridership patterns, Metro transit department staffing levels, available funding, changes made by the city of Seattle, Sound Transit or other agency partners and the King County Metro Service Guidelines and Metro Connects long-range plan adopted by Ordinance 19367.
B. Each of the four transit riders now report shall include recommendations for transit service that would be implemented by the accompanying service change ordinance. These recommendations shall be based on, but not limited to, the following, and the report shall provide:
1. An analysis of ridership patterns, ridership levels and route productivity using current route-level ridership information, as well as data from the most recent annual system evaluation report required by Ordinance 19367 and the performance measurement dashboard required by Ordinance 19367;
2. A description of Sound Transit Link light rail system extensions, transit service purchases by the City of Seattle and other changes by agency partners that could affect transit service provided by the Metro transit department;
3. An analysis of how the report's recommendations comport with the King County Metro Service Guidelines adopted by Ordinance 19367, including the priorities and criteria to be considered for additions to transit service, the factors to be considered for reductions to transit service and the process to be followed for restructures to transit service;
4. An analysis of how the report's recommendations will advance the Metro Connects long-range plan adopted by Ordinance 19367, specifically the plan to implement the Metro Connects interim network; and
5. An analysis of any constraints that limit additions to the transit service for the corresponding proposed transit service change ordinance, including, but not limited to, staffing shortages, funding limitations or the Metro Connects funding gap described in the Metro Connects long-range plan adopted by Ordinance 19367 and the Metro Connects implementation report accepted by Motion 16155.
The executive should electronically file the fall 2023 Transit Riders Now Report and the accompanying proposed transit service change ordinance if required by this proviso no later than March 2, 2023, the spring 2024 Transit Riders Now Report and the accompanying proposed transit service change ordinance if required by this proviso no later than August 3, 2023, the fall 2024 Transit Riders Now Report and the accompanying proposed transit service change ordinance if required by this proviso no later than March 7, 2024, and the spring 2025 Transit Riders Now Report and the accompanying proposed transit service change ordinance if required by this proviso no later than August 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.))
Of this appropriation, $2,000,000 shall not be expended or encumbered until the executive transmits four transit riders now reports in accordance with this proviso. Each transit riders now report shall describe the status of the transit system and all recommended additions, reductions, or restructures to transit service that meet the threshold for council approval under K.C.C. 28.94.020.B. proposed for the respective fall 2023, spring 2024, fall 2024, and spring 2025 transit service changes that in accordance with the Metro transit department's service plan indicates, at least the next two biennia, to occur twice a year in the spring and fall. Each report shall also describe all recommended additions, reductions, or restructures to transit service made in the service change immediately preceding the respective service change using the administrative powers in K.C.C. 28.94.020.B.1 or the emergency powers in K.C.C. 28.94.020.B.2.a. Each report that describes recommended additions, reductions, or restructures that meet the threshold for council approval under K.C.C. 28.94.020.B. shall be accompanied by a proposed ordinance that would approve the transit service change. Each ordinance should reference the subject matter, the proviso's ordinance number, ordinance section, and proviso number in both the title and body of the ordinance. Upon filing each transit riders now report, or adoption of each ordinance if a proposed ordinance accompanies the report, $500,000 is released for encumbrance or expenditure.
A. Over the last several years, the Metro transit department has implemented a series of transit service reductions and restorations using the emergency powers in K.C.C. 28.94.020.B.2.a. to respond to the changing operational needs, ridership patterns, and staffing levels that have resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2023-2024 biennial budget appropriates funding for one hundred ninety-one thousand four hundred annual transit service hours in addition to the service offered in October 2022. The additional transit service hours are proposed to be added gradually as part of the fall 2023, spring 2024, and fall 2024 service changes. More service is expected to be added as part of the spring 2025 service change. It is imperative that the additional transit service reflect the needs of current transit riders, by responding to changing ridership patterns, Metro transit department staffing levels, available funding, changes made by the city of Seattle, Sound Transit or other agency partners, and the King County Metro Service Guidelines and Metro Connects long-range plan adopted by Ordinance 19367. The Metro Service Recovery Plan approved by Ordinance 19581 indicates that the Metro transit department is unlikely to implement major, as defined by the Metro transit department for the purposes of reporting to the Federal Transit Administration, service changes in 2023. The Metro transit department may implement additional transit service reductions to match its current operational capacity using the emergency powers in K.C.C. 28.94.020.B.2.a. or the administrative powers in K.C.C. 28.94.020.B.1. It is imperative that any transit service changes made using the administrative or emergency powers in K.C.C. 28.94.020.B. reflect the needs of current transit riders, as well as to Metro transit department staffing levels and available funding.
B. If a transit riders now report is accompanied by a service change ordinance, the report shall include recommendations for transit service that would be implemented by the accompanying service change ordinance. The recommendations shall be based on, but not limited to, the following, and the report shall provide:
1. An analysis of ridership patterns, ridership levels, and route productivity using current route-level ridership information, as well as data from the most recent annual system evaluation report required by Ordinance 19367 and the performance measurement dashboard required by Ordinance 19367;

4. An analysis of how the report's recommendations will advance the Metro Connects long-range plan adopted by Ordinance 19367, specifically the plan to implement the Metro Connects interim network; and
5. An analysis of any constraints that limit additions to the transit service for the corresponding proposed transit service change ordinance, including, but not limited to, staffing shortages, funding limitations, or the Metro Connects funding gap described in the Metro Connects long-range plan adopted by Ordinance 19367 and the Metro Connects implementation report accepted by Motion 16155.
C. If a transit riders now reports is not accompanied by a service change ordinance, the report shall include:
1. An analysis of the constraints that have prevented the Metro transit department from proposing a major service change, including, but not limited to: staffing shortages, fleet or equipment shortages, funding limitations, or delays in partner agency transit expansions; a description of the Metro transit department's progress in implementing the Metro Service Recovery Plan approved by Ordinance 19581; and a description of the Metro transit department's plans and actions to address the identified constraints;
2. A description of the Metro transit department's level of service delivery during the six months preceding the due date of the transit riders now report, including the average weekly percentage of scheduled transit service trips that could not be delivered; and
3. If the Metro transit department has responded to its shortfalls in operational capacity by making additional service reductions, using either the administrative powers in K.C.C. 28.94.020.B.1. or the emergency powers in K.C.C. 28.94.020.B.2.a., a description of the additional service reductions, including, but not limited to: a summary of service hours reduced in each mobility project area identified in the Metro Service Recovery Plan approved by Ordinance 19581; an analysis of how the additional service reductions have affected the Metro transit department's need for daily or weekly service cancellations; and a description of the Metro transit department's plans to restore these additional service reductions.
