Ordinance: Updating Structure of Public Safety Bond Financial Oversight Committee Staff is seeking Council approval of an ordinance that would amend Ordinance 2509 to make specifications about the makeup of the Public Safety Bond Financial Oversight Committee more general. The original ordinance specified that the Committee would include five members comprising two residents, two members of the business community, and one member from a nonprofit located in Tukwila. The Council later adopted a Charter for the Committee by Resolution 1892 that specified five members comprising two residents, two members from the business community, and one "at-large" member who could be from the residential, business or nonprofit category. The proposed ordinance specifies only "at least five members" so that if future changes are desired by Council or necessitated by circumstance, only the Charter will need to be amended. As requested at the last Committee meeting, staff returned with City Attorney advice about how to better define "economic life of the Project" with regard to the Committee's duration.

UNANIMOUS APPROVAL. FORWARD TO APRIL 17, 2017 REGULAR CONSENTAGENDA. B. Employee Compensation Policy Staff provided the Committee with an assessment of the current employee compensation policy as outlined in Resolution 1796.

Challenges have typically been when benchmark positions are not available for comparison. INFORMATION ONLY. 127
