Speaker 2: Thank you. Council President. Just pausing to admire the little one there. This is resolution 31971. It would adopt Seattle City Lights, Transportation, Electrification, Strategic Investment Plan. It's required by House Bill 151 to pass in 2019. It allows for electric utilities to invest ratepayer funds in transportation electrification. This plan, which has been part of a multi-year planning effort, outlined Seattle City Lights, recommended strategic investment priorities based on a robust stakeholder outreach effort following adoption of the Strategic Investment Plan. The utility will begin the second phase of customer and community engagement to develop the utility's more detailed program offerings and metrics to increase electrification. See also heard from many stakeholders about the importance of City of Seattle aggressively working to reduce carbon emissions, including from the transportation sector. This investment plan will help with that. It was recommended unanimously by the committee. Thank you.
