I. ANNOUNCEMENT
II. BUSINESS AGENDA
A. Public Safety Plan Local Hiring and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Participation
The Public Safety Committee has been discussing how to facilitate the participation of local
workers and disadvantaged business enterprises in construction of the Public Safety Plan
project. At the May 15, 2017 meeting, the Committee directed staff to return with a draft formal
labor or workforce agreement including information on the cost of implementation. Staff has
developed a draft agreement as well as a proposal to contract with the City of Seattle for
provision of oversight and management of a PLA/CW. Staff will be meeting with the City of
Seattle on October 31 to discuss the draft and associated costs. Councilmember Quinn asked
that staff follow up from that meeting with information about practical implications to
timelines and costs. Chair McLeod introduced Steve Goldblatt, the Council's Program
Management Quality Assurance Consultant. Mr. Goldblatt reiterated a point from his
September and October monthly reports that the Council should weigh the cost and efficacy of
a formal PLA/CWA approach in light of the current budgetary stress on the project. He
recommended that the Committee also consider alternative approaches that are less costly
and also effective. He mentioned the City's existing apprenticeship utilization standards
(Resolution 1814) and noted that a comprehensive equity policy is being developed right now.
The three finalists for the Fire Stations contracts are all union with DBE, apprenticeship, and
community outreach experience. Committee members discussed the advice and requested
that staff return with information about existing tools and alternate approaches along with the
proposal from the City of Seattle. RETURN TO COMMITTEE NOVEMBER 20, 2017.
B. Interagency Agreement: Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force
Staff is seeking Council approval of an interagency agreement with the Washington State
Internet Crimes against Children Task Force (WA ICAC TF) acting through the City of Seattle
Police Department. This is a multi -jurisdictional task force designed to share information and
coordinate investigations, as the nature of internet crimes crosses agency boundaries.
Detectives assigned to this task force will continue their currently assigned responsibilities but
