body

                     WHEREAS, Ordinance 17941 Section 58, as amended, appropriated the community and human services administration fund 2015/2016 biennium budget, and

                     WHEREAS, Ordinance 17941, Section 58, Proviso P1, as amended, concerned $150,000 that shall not be expended or encumbered until the executive transmits a report that outlines and describes the competitive procurement process that the department of community and human services will use to enter into human service contracts in future biennia and a motion that approves the report and the motion is passed by the council, and

                     WHEREAS, through the consideration and enactment of appropriations ordinances the council and the executive  have often determined how to prioritize which community organizations are funded to provide human services and in doing so councilmembers have been specifically aware of many of the particular needs of the communities they represent, and

                     WHEREAS, this awareness by councilmembers can provide knowledge that is important to substantively inform decisions on the criteria, scope and outcome for each program area in the report;

                     NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT MOVED by the Council of King County:

                     A.  The council approves the report, which is Attachment A to this motion, that is the subject of the 2015/2016 Biennial Budget Ordinance, Ordinance 17941, Section 58, Proviso P1, as amended.  Approval of this report shall not bind any future decisions by the council and executive regarding appropriations for specific community organizations;

                     B.  The council requests that the funding allocation workgroups provide an opportunity for councilmember district staff to attend and comment; and

                     C.  The council further requests that once the funding allocation workgroups have concluded their work as outlined in the report that is Attachment A to this motion, which includes finalizing the criteria by which agencies will be determined for inclusion, determining if a base amount of funding per agency will be used, determining the base amount of funding per agency, finalizing the scope and outcomes of the program area and, for some program areas, identifying ways to increase alignment of King County funds with what is provided by other major funders, the executive transmit to the council the conclusions of the allocation workgroups and a motion approving the final parameters that will be used to select providers for funding within fifteen days after the date on which the final workgroup concludes its deliberations.  The conclusions and motion shall be transmitted in the form of a paper original and an electronic copy with the clerk of the council, who shall retain the original and provide an electronic copy to all councilmembers.
