Barreta said the resolution calls for the city to support immigrant and refugee communities and to work with local community‑based organizations to expand legal representation and immigration defense services for residents. The resolution also calls for ongoing training and oversight of city employees and line enforcement to ensure compliance with the Keep Washington Working Act, and it directs the city to create a task force composed of administrative staff, council staff and community groups to maintain compliance and implementation.

\"We had over 40 people sign up to testify on this resolution,\" Barreta said, and she thanked those who engaged both for and against the measure.
