Housing and Human Services Committee recommends confirmation of seven appointments
Summary
The committee voted unanimously to recommend confirmation of seven appointments across the housing levy oversight committee, Seattle Human Rights Commission and the Pacific Hospital Public Development Authority; recommendations will be transmitted to the Feb. 18 City Council meeting.
The Seattle City Council Housing and Human Services Committee on Feb. 12 recommended confirmation of seven appointments to three advisory bodies and a public development authority, forwarding the committee recommendation to the full Council for the Feb. 18 meeting.
Chair Cathy Moore moved the recommendation to confirm Jennifer Labreque to the housing levy oversight committee; the motion was seconded and approved by roll call. The committee then moved and approved recommendations to confirm Miranda Kasambas, Philip Lewis and Gautam Putah to the Seattle Human Rights Commission and to reappoint Robert D. Cook, Paul Feldman and Douglas Jackson to the Pacific Hospital Public Development Authority. In each roll call the committee recorded four votes in favor and none opposed.
Why it matters: the housing levy oversight committee advises on levy implementation and spending; the Seattle Human Rights Commission and the Pacific Hospital PDA provide policy advice and oversight on civil-rights and health-equity matters that inform City departments and the Council.
