Speaker 0: The report of the Full Council agenda item one Constable 118 631 require periodic building energy tunable for certain non-res and residential buildings. Adding a new chapter 22.9 3032 to the system is for coding and many ordinance 124 927, which adopted the 2016 budget, changing appropriations to various departments and budget control levels and from various funds in the budget are by three fourths vote of the City Council. The committee recommends the bill pass.
Speaker 1: Council members who want.
Speaker 3: Thank you for the number. And as you all know, the council bill that we're voting on right now was held from the full council meeting last week. It's part of a package of legislation from the Office of Sustainability and Environment requiring large building owners to perform periodic energy efficiency tune ups phased in depending on the size of the buildings. And I won't go into details unless my colleagues want me to to do so. But just to say that we held this legislation last week to allow time for the Office of Sustainability and Environment to be able to coordinate with the Operating Engineers Union, the workers of which performed maintenance at Seattle Public Schools. And the question that the union wanted resolved was around the definitions of who is qualified to inspect the energy efficiency of buildings that are really tank or sea and the union for engaging productively in that discussion. And I my understanding is that they have arrived at a resolution. And I also have emails from both both agencies due to that effect. So I'm glad that that has been resolved. And I'm glad to see that the U.S. is taking seriously the definition of qualified Juneau specialists, and we will be continue continuing to be involved in that discussion. But most importantly, I'm excited to see the beginnings of energy efficiency standards for large buildings in Seattle and the Energy and Environment Committee recommends for council passed legislation. And thank you, Councilmember O'Brien, for your work on this.
Speaker 2: Great.
Speaker 1: Any comments? Councilmember Herbold.
Speaker 0: I just wanted to thank Councilmember Swan for holding the bill last week and I've heard that look, all six or nine is actually endorsing the ordinance now. So that's great. And it's fantastic that O.C. was also willing to to sort of slow down their work, to bring along the workforce that's hopefully going to be able to participate in doing some of this work. Thank you.
Speaker 1: Any other comments? I also would just say thanks. It's great to have. Sometimes just taking an extra week. It's to a point where everyone feels more comfortable with the bill. And this was a week well spent. So thank you. Councilmember Swan. Please call the roll and the passage of the bill.
Speaker 0: Burgess Gonzalez. Herbold Johnson. Horace Suwa President. O'Brien I seven in favor.
Speaker 1: The bill passes and the chair will sign report of the Affordable Housing Neighborhoods and Finance Committee. Please read the report.
