Lower Duwamish Valley cleanup: Councilmember Andrew Hollingsworth reported that the council voted to authorize actions related to cleanup of the Lower Duwamish Valley. Hollingsworth said the measure “authorizes the Seattle City Light, Seattle Public Utilities to be able to start the process for cleaning of the Lower Duwamish,” and stated the council passed the action \"4 in favor, none opposed.\" The briefing did not list individual roll-call votes for that item; the council member described the result as approved. No ordinance or resolution number was read into the briefing record.

After-hours establishments bill: Councilmember Rob Kettle reported that the Public Safety Committee will not meet next week and that coming out of committee a vote was taken on the after-hours establishments bill; Kettle said the bill \"will come to full council tomorrow, for a vote.\" Kettle did not provide the committee tally during the briefing. The matter was scheduled on the full council agenda for April 15.

Both items were reported by councilmembers as completed committee or council actions; the April 14 briefing did not include full text of the measures, ordinance or resolution numbers, or complete roll-call records in the transcript segments presented.

Saka said on April 14 that Seattle Parks has applied for a King County Parks Capital and Open Space Grant to support restoration work at Camp Long, a West Seattle site damaged by a December fire.

Saka called reopening Camp Long a priority for constituents in West Seattle and said the parks department filed the county grant application “as recently as last week.” She said the city will pursue a combination of insurance, city funds and county grant funding to rebuild the site and that city council members who sit on the King County Regional Policy Committee will discuss sponsorship and support.

Saka emphasized the need to be creative in the current budget environment to secure funds for repairs and said she will follow up one-on-one with council colleagues who also sit on the regional committee to advance sponsorship for the grant package. No council appropriation or binding commitment was announced at the briefing; the parks department’s application to King County is an executive action and will be considered by King County according to that agency’s grant process.","Councilmember Tammy J.

Saka, chair of the Transportation Committee, told the Seattle City Council on April 14 that the committee will meet April 15 at 9:30 a.m. to continue deliberations on automated traffic safety camera legislation and related actions.

Saka said the transmitted legislation would allow the city to expand automated enforcement cameras outside school speed zones only if it conforms with state law changes made in Olympia in 2024. \"This legislation ... is required for us to expand any new cameras, camera automated enforcement cameras in our city,\" she said, and noted the committee will consider a proviso lift that would allow the executive to spend funds the council previously appropriated during the 2024 budget to expand cameras beyond school zones.

Saka also said the committee will receive a briefing on an alley vacation near City Hall in District 7 and encouraged public attendance. She noted that the council previously authorized appropriations for automated enforcement cameras and expanded 39 school-zone camera locations in the 2024 budget.

No formal council vote on the legislation or the proviso lift was taken during the briefing; those items were scheduled for committee consideration on April 15. Committee materials and the transmitted legislation will be posted before the meeting, Saka said.","Councilmember Tammy J.

Rink said the proclamation recognizes April 2025 as “Sexual Assault Awareness Month” and noted this is the 24th observance. Quoting Moore’s language, Rink said the year’s theme is “together we act, united we change,” and that the proclamation encourages awareness and resources for people disproportionately affected by sexual violence.

The proclamation also called attention to International Denim Day on April 30, urging people to wear denim to raise awareness of victim blaming; Rink summarized the origin of Denim Day in a reference to an Italian court decision cited in the proclamation. During the roll call to determine whose signatures would be affixed, Councilmember Sara Nelson was excused; votes recorded on the roll call were: Councilmember Tammy J. Saka — “Aye”; Councilmember Teresa Mosqueda Solomon — “Aye”; Councilmember Andrew Hollingsworth — “Yes”; Councilmember Rob Kettle — “Aye”; and Council President Pro Tem Alexis Mercedes Rink — “Aye.” Rink said five signatures would be affixed.

No council debate followed the reading; Rink invited members to add their signatures and moved the request forward on Councilmember Moore’s behalf.","Council President Pro Tem Alexis Mercedes Rink read a proclamation from Councilmember Moore recognizing April 2025 as Sexual Assault Awareness Month and directed the clerk to affix five council signatures.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6271942,"Seattle council pledges oversight after City Light misconduct investigation",1870,68000,1938000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3028409-0dab32ced1c2fdac22f542274797a39c&start=68&end=1938","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3028409-0dab32ced1c2fdac22f542274797a39c/thumbnail_68000.jpg","/articles/6271942/Seattle/King-County/Washington/Seattle-council-pledges-oversight-after-City-Light-misconduct-investigation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6271942-a1c74120618a8a264f3d89aca83000e0/orig.mp4?Expires=1775815815&Signature=OYABuYr7-DX2zyzOtrojeQziO2ndO5PXUpRRJN59rPYmDdIIgpDfHKy4hkjVgDtXp-yfxQ-MK4VpKllBOjKj7IxbAGLQKR7erVy5ePHe6kWaKPaNi5NLhDO~pCwvwUCM4oRt~aqDYMyNi7QERlfWVZKQ0kp6Ujf~EVduCnpkrdcu6WgXaH0FBtRwfgN4DzyTP3V8UKMQcGogJlsuRAJsMV5FXZDbnLSOt3C868zPfDs1VkmW600QKiIIB0Js1W~dJZc91AvrSk8ca3swWkql-Wpab~qLUwKmeqv1ChF5qUi4HbnddMn3ibmrzChdPHb5KrRb-kSzG9VbhzI2za3lHg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Council President Pro Tem Alexis Mercedes Rink told the Seattle City Council on April 14 that the council will pursue oversight after an investigative report published last week detailed workplace misconduct at Seattle City Light, including drinking on the job, employees viewing inappropriate material and reports of harassment and assault.

Rink said the findings are “absolutely unacceptable” and that the council will take “the appropriate steps” to provide oversight of City Light. “We’ll be taking that up within committee,” she said, reading prepared remarks into the record.

The remarks were placed at the start of the council briefing; Council members later signaled the City Light matter would return to committee agendas where members expect staff briefings and further discussion. Councilmember Teresa Strauss, chairing the sustainability, City Light and arts and culture committee, said the committee will hear more about the report and about what the organization is doing to address the findings.

Rink and Strauss framed the council action as oversight and follow-up rather than a specific legislative directive. There was no formal vote on the floor tied to the investigation during the April 14 briefing. The council indicated it will schedule committee sessions to review the investigation’s findings and any corrective plans City Light presents.

Background: Rink opened the briefing by noting the recently published report and stressing the council’s intent to ensure remediation and oversight. Strauss later reiterated those findings and said young women considering work at City Light “we see you and we will demand change,” and flagged forthcoming committee work on the subject.

What happens next: Council offices said committee meetings in the coming weeks will include briefings on City Light’s response and proposed corrective actions; dates and committee agendas will be posted by central staff prior to those meetings.","Council President Pro Tem Alexis Mercedes Rink said the council will pursue committee oversight after a published investigation reported drinking on the job, viewing inappropriate material and harassment at Seattle City Light.","actionData","errors"]
