Speaker 3: That jumped out of two counts above 119902 related to the city department section 21.40 9.0. And I'm supposed to clarify the department's discretion to allow additional services on a parcel as it deems necessary to provide adequate service to customers.
Speaker 0: Thank you, Madam Clerk. I moved the past council bill 119902. Is there a second?
Speaker 2: Second?
Speaker 0: Thank you. It's been moved and seconded to pass the bill. Councilmember Peterson, you are the prime sponsor of the bill and are recognized in order to address this item.
Speaker 2: Thank you. Council President Seattle City Light, one of the two utility enterprises we are fortunate to own and operate, has five items on today's agenda. These items were reviewed during the extra meeting we had at the Transportation Utilities Committee on September 25. We were able to vote on four of those five items which our committee recommended unanimously, and we as the entire city council will vote on those items later today. In addition, our committee received a briefing on this fifth item, which is before us today as Council Bill 119902. The theme of all of this legislation before us today is electrification electrification to benefit our environment. As we know, Seattle City Light provides clean hydroelectric power, so the more we can get people to use it instead of other forms of energy, the better. This council bill 11902 excuse me, 119902 Updates The City of Seattle, one site, one service policy so that charging stations and infrastructure for electric vehicles can be more easily installed even after a property already has electrical service. We want to make it easier for people to use zero emission vehicles and this legislation helps with that. Thank you.

So just a shout out to the D one residents who brought this issue to my attention. I'm not suggesting a product to stay on. City lights attention. I'm sure they are.
