      SECTION 1.  Findings:
      A.  The King County council adopted Ordinance 17072, placing renewal of the veterans and human services levy on the primary election ballot as Proposition 1.  In August 2011, King County voters voted to approve continuation of the levy for six years with half of the proceeds of the levy dedicated to veterans and military personnel and their families.
      B.  The expenditure of 2006 through 2011 veterans and human services levy proceeds was guided by a service improvement plan that outlined strategies, principles and activities to be funded.  A revised plan is needed to guide the revenues generated by the levy for the period of 2012 through 2017.
      SECTION 2.  The service improvement plan, Attachment A to this ordinance, is hereby adopted to guide the management and expenditure of the proceeds from the veterans and human services levy.
      SECTION 3.  The department of community and human services or its successor shall have lead responsibility for implementing the service improvement plan, with oversight from the veterans citizen levy oversight board and the regional human services levy oversight board, and shall serve as the fund and administrative manager for the veterans and human services levy.  Fifty percent of the levy proceeds shall be placed in the veterans services levy fund, designated for the provision of regional health and human services for veterans, military personnel and their families and fifty percent of the levy proceeds shall be placed in the regional health and human services levy fund, designated for the provision of regional health and human services to a wide range of people in need of such services, in accordance with K.C.C. 4.08.322 and 4.08.324.  The department of community and human services shall work in cooperation with other county departments and branches of government and with the levy oversight boards to ensure that the goals and strategies of the levy are achieved.
      SECTION 4.  A.  The department of community and human services shall provide implementation plans for any new activities that were not funded during the first levy period or for continuing activities for which the department proposes modifications for review by the levy oversight boards and by the public.
      B.  Implementation plans shall address issues such as:
        1. Equity and social justice considerations;
        2.  Geographic targeting;,
        3.  Coordination and alignment across health and human services systems;
        4.  Opportunities for partnership;
        5.  Evidence based practices; and
        6.  Needs assessment information.
      C.  The implementation plan review process shall allow for adequate review as well as timely delivery of services.
