WHEREAS, in July 2012 the United States of America and The City of Seattle entered into a Settlement Agreement with the goal of ensuring that police services are delivered to the people of Seattle in a manner that fully complies with the Constitution and laws of the United States, effectively ensures public and officer safety, and promotes public confidence in the Seattle Police Department and its officers; and

WHEREAS, some provisions of this Settlement Agreement require the Seattle Police Department to develop new policies and training curricula, improve the Early Intervention System and systematically collect and manage data on officers' use of force, and the Department has estimated the resources required to meet these provisions; and

WHEREAS, the Seattle Police Department is unable to absorb the required costs of executing some portions of the agreement and requires additional staff support and funding as previously planned for in the 2013 Budget Finance General reserve; and

WHEREAS, Council Green Sheet 67-1-A-1 indicates that no more than $300,000 appropriated in the 2013 Budget for Finance General's Reserves BCL may be spent for the Settlement Agreement until authorized by future ordinance, and thereby limits The City of Seattle's ability to pay for the Federal Court appointed monitor; NOW, THEREFORE,
