June 2021 On behalf of my fellow members, I am pleased to present you with the final Report of the Public Safety Bond Financial Oversight Committee. Per the Charter adopted in Resolution 1892, our role was to review the allocation of bond proceeds and progress on achieving the purposes of the Public Safety Bond and to report to the City Council semi-annually. Pursuant to Ordinance 2509 and Resolution 1892, this Committee has been meeting since 2017 to review status and expenditure reports relating to the Public Safety Bond as approved by Tukwila voters at the November 8, 2016 General Election. Our Committee met on March 2, 2021 and had the opportunity to hear directly from the Police Chief, Fire Chief and Municipal Court Judge on the new facilities funded by the Public Safety Bond. We also reviewed budget status and expenditure reports to date. We learned during this meeting that all bond proceeds have been expended. Per the amended Charter adopted by the City Council in Resolution 2020, this means that our work as a Committee is complete and this will be our final Report. The Oversight Committee has to date reviewed bond expenditures through February 2021 and finds that these expenditures are in compliance with the purposes of the Public Safety Bond. The Committee is grateful for this unique opportunity to support our community and we have appreciated the City Council's support in our work. We would also like to extend a big thank you to all of the City staff in the Public Works and Accounting groups for making ourjobs easier along the way, and especially to Laurel Humphrey for her work in making the committee process run smoothly and effectively.
