Summary

Council members previewed committee schedules and votes, including junk fees amendments due today, a homeowner protections bill moving to full council, City Light ordinances and a July 29 special Governance meeting on SPU and City Light emergency assistance bills.

Council members used their reports to preview a number of upcoming committee actions and deadlines.

Council Member Juarez previewed an Aug. 5 Parks and City Light committee meeting that will consider a City Light ordinance to update the voluntary green power solar program, a City Light ordinance to execute a first amendment to a FERC boundary hydroelectric relicensing agreement, and a resolution authorizing a 2026 State Recreation and Conservation Office grant application. Council President Hollingsworth also announced a July 29 special Governance and Utilities meeting to vote on Seattle Public Utilities and City Light emergency assistance bills and possibly the SPU 2027–2029 rate path.
