Speaker 4: The Report of the Transportation Committee Agenda Item number 12 Council Bill 118365 relating to grant funds from non city sources authorizing the director of transportation station to accept specified grants and execute related agreements for and on behalf of the city. Amending Ordinance 124648, which adopted the 2015 budget, including the 2015 to 2020 Capital Improvement Program, changing appropriations to the Seattle Department of Transportation, adding a new project, revising allocations for certain projects, and the 2015 to 2020 CIP and ratifying and confirming certain prior acts. The committee recommends the bill pass.
Speaker 0: Thank you, Councilmember Rasmussen.
Speaker 3: Thank you very much. The total amount of these grants is $15 million. They're both from federal and state sources. And the funding will provide badly needed funding for a new sidewalk construction, new bike lanes, transit related improvements, bridge improvements, streetcar maintenance and improvements to the technology system that helps improve our freight mobility. Normally, these type of grants are accepted as part of the city's annual budget, but the awarding of the grants came too late during the year and did not allow them to be included in the 2015 adopted budget. And this then amounts our budget for that purpose. One project that I'd like to highlight is $200,000 for the final design of the 48 electrification. There are a number of gaps in the 48 electric trolley line and this will.
Speaker 0: Help to ensure.
Speaker 3: That it is a much more extensive electric trolley line. And I think.
Speaker 0: That's it for this. Okay. Thank you. Questions or comments? Please call the roll and the passage of the bill.
Speaker 1: Rasmussen. I so want back. I got it. I Harrell.
Speaker 3: I.
Speaker 1: O'Brien high and President Burgess seven in favor and unopposed.
Speaker 0: The bill passes and the chair will sign it. Please read item 13.
