COUNCIL BILL __________________

AN ORDINANCE amending Ordinance 124349 that adopted the 2014 Budget; correcting errors in fund codes and budget control level codes, names, and purposes; correcting appropriations for various departments; abrogating and modifying positions; and correcting the spending plan for a project in the 2014-2019 Capital Improvement Program.

WHEREAS, Ordinance 124349 passed by the City Council on November 25, 2013 adopted a budget, including a capital improvement program and position modifications, for the City of Seattle for 2014 and created positions exempt from civil service;

WHEREAS the Adopted 2014 Budget contained some technical errors; and

WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Council seek to correct these errors; and

WHEREAS, the technical corrections do not change in any material way and are consistent with, and maintain Council's intent underlying the Adopted 2014 Budget and 2014-2019 Capital Improvement Program; NOW, THEREFORE,

BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY OF SEATTLE AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. The fund codes, and the Budget Control Level (BCL) codes, , names, and purposes for the corresponding 2014 appropriations in Attachment A of Ordinance 124349 are amended, as follows:

The 2014 Adopted Budget included a number of appropriations that were incorrectly coded to the wrong fund number. The above actions correct those errors.

Section 2. The corresponding appropriations in Attachment A to Ordinance 124349 for the Department of Neighborhoods are modified as follows:

The Department of Neighborhoods' 2014 Proposed Budget included $41,250 of funding to add a part-time administrative staff assistant position to the Internal Operations BCL. That proposal was rejected during Council deliberations but was incorrectly reduced from the Community Building BCL instead of the Internal Operations BCL. The above actions restore the Community Building BCL's budget and reduces the internal Operations BCL's budget.

Section 3. The corresponding appropriations in Attachment A to Ordinance 124349 for the Department of Transportation are modified as follows:

Funding of $90,000 was approved in the 2014 Adopted Budget for general planning for the South Lake Union Alternative Transportation Mitigation program as part of Green Sheet 49-1-A1. The transaction, however, was inadvertently coded to the Mobility-Capital BCL rather than Mobility-Operations BCL. To properly account for Council's intent per Green Sheet 49-1-A-1, the above action moves $90,000 of appropriation authority from the Mobility Capital BCL to the Mobility Operations BCL.

Section 4. The corresponding appropriations in Attachment A to Ordinance 124349 for the Seattle Police Department are modified as follows:

The Seattle Police Department's 2014 Proposed Budget incorrectly included the Predictive Policing and Strategic Deployment Unit as part of the Professional Standards BCL, instead of as part of the Field Support Administration BCL. In addition, a data entry error moved too much overtime funding from Field Support Administration to Professional Standards. The above action corrects these errors by moving $1,864,525 of appropriation authority from the Professional Standards BCL to the Field Support Administration BCL.

Section 5. Effective January 1, 2014, positions are abrogated as follows:

The 2014 Adopted Budget, per Green Sheets 49-1-A-1 and 1241-A-2, created new part-time positions, rather than increasing existing positions' full-time-equivalent (FTE) amounts. For the Law Department, the existing position went from 0.5 FTE parttime to 1.0 FTE full-time. (See item 6.1). For DPD, the existing position should have gone from 0.5 FTE to 0.75 FTE without the addition of a new position. The above actions abrogate the extra positions added.

Section 6. Effective January 1, 2014, the following position is increased from part-time status to full-time status:

Green Sheet 124-1-A-2 created a new part-time position in the Law department, but should have changed an existing position from 0.5 FTE part-time to 1.0 FTE full-time. (See item 5.2). The above action makes this correction.

Section 7. The dollar amounts shown or established in the 2014 spending plan for the Library Major Maintenance project (B301111) in the 2014-2019 Adopted Capital Improvement Program are modified as identified in Attachment A.

Section 8. Any act consistent with the authority of this ordinance taken prior to its effective date is hereby ratified and confirmed.

Section 9. This ordinance shall take effect and be in force 30 days after its approval by the Mayor, but if not approved and returned by the Mayor within ten days after presentation, it shall take effect as provided by Seattle Municipal Code Section 1.04.020.

Passed by the City Council the ____ day of ________________________, 2014, and signed by me in open session in authentication of its passage this

_____ day of ___________________, 2014.
