Council accepts a package of non-city grants and appropriations
Summary
The Seattle City Council on May 13 passed Council Bill 120970 to accept and appropriate non-city grants and other funds for multiple departments; the measure passed unanimously.
The Seattle City Council on May 13 adopted Council Bill 120970, a routine appropriation ordinance accepting funds from non-city sources and authorizing department heads to expend them.
Councilmembers described the bill as straightforward: it accepts specified grants and private funding and appropriates them within city budgets. The Finance committee reported the item out and the full council voted 8-0 to pass the bill.
Why it matters: Acceptance ordinances allow city departments to receive grant funds and spend them on authorized purposes; the bill covered multiple small grants and department-level appropriations rather than a single large program.
Ending: The clerk was directed to affix the council president's signature and the accepted grants will be administered by the respective departments as provided in the ordinance.
