Speaker 1: Jan Davenport Council 120 165 Relief to the Department of Finance Administrative Services authorizing the Director of the Department of Finance Administrative Services for the Director designate to negotiate and accept and execute a real property lease with the Port of Seattle for vacant land known as the super up property and ratifying confirming certain prior acts to recommend the bill passed.
Speaker 0: Thank you so much. Council members get them to hand it back over to you to provide the committee report on this council bill.
Speaker 1: Thank you and sorry, colleagues to be off camera. I'm just unstable internet for a second. Colleagues agenda item number four is legislation that would authorize a new lease for the Port of Seattle to use their vacant land in an urban neighborhood for continued use and expansion of townhouse village site. This would add approximately 30 additional units at the Inner Bay Village. This legislation is needed to allow for the lease of the expanded property that is approximately 44,000 square feet, which exceeds the FAA assets directors leasing authority. We worked really quickly to get this legislation to the Finance and Housing Committee so that we can move forward on this tiny village as quickly as possible. And again, to underscore the importance of what we talked about this morning, to make sure that there's no further delays in standing up emergency housing options. I want to thank central staff and Aaron House on my team for their work on this.
Speaker 0: Thanks so much. Consumers get it. Are there any comments on the bill? Lewis, you have your hand raised. Go ahead.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, Madam President. And I appreciate the quick movement from council member Ms.. Data and cueing this up and getting this through. You know, we could have passed this, we would have passed this earlier, but we had to wait until the CBO review was done on the site before we could pass this. Legislation today to move us one step closer to getting this expanded village in the heart of District seven in the inner bay neighborhood. I just want to give a brief shout out to the Port of Seattle, in particular, Commissioner Bowman, who has been a really, really big booster and advocate for the initial siting of this village and now our efforts to more than double that size. And I look forward to continuing that partnership potentially at other Port of Seattle sites as we look for opportunities to expand. More tiny household, tiny house shelters in other parts of the city and build on this great work. So thank you again, Councilmember Mosquito. Looking forward to voting on this and getting another one of these villages up and running.
