Ending Homelessness Sweeps in Seattle
Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan Seattle City Council President Lorena González Seattle City Councilmembers Lisa Herbold, Debora Juarez, Andrew Lewis, Tammy Morales, Teresa Mosqueda, Alex Pedersen, Kshama Sawant, Dan Strauss Seattle City Hall 600 4th Avenue, Seattle, WA 98104 June 2, 2020 Dear Mayor Durkan and Members of the Seattle City Council: COVID-19 has left our city, our community, and our families in an extremely vulnerable situation. While we know our city government has been stretched in every direction to address a growing number of concerns in this unprecedented time, we are writing to you because we feel that needs of our unhoused community have been severely overlooked. Over the last few weeks, the City has removed people in encampments in Ballard and the Chinatown/International District against explicit guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) that such actions increase potential for an infectious disease to spread and separate people from their connections to care. Moving people from neighborhood to neighborhood or from location to location within a neighborhood, without resources or better places to go, simply does not address the homelessness or public health crisis at hand. Now more than ever we need real solutions to respond to the unmet needs of our community. In order to preserve the public health and safety of both housed residents and those experiencing homelessness during a pandemic, the City must urgently and proactively provide resources ranging from short-term solutions (like sanitation stations, access to public bathrooms, and clean water) to interim solutions (like organized tent camps or tiny home villages) to longer term housing solutions (like individual hotel rooms and apartments).

University of Washington Evans School of Public Affairs PBAF 501 Legislative Relations Winter 2016 Course Time: Thursdays, 2:30 to 5:20 Course Location: Mary Gates Hall 228 Course Website: https://catalyst.uw.edu/workspace/cvapv/52375/ Instructor: Chris Vance Officer hours: Thursdays, 1:45‐2:15,Parrington 406 Phone: 253‐347‐9713 Email: [email protected] Course Description Virtually everyone who works in or around public policy, whether in the public, private, or non‐profit sector will eventually be asked to work in the legislative arena. To do so successfully one must understand how public policy analysis, raw politics, and parliamentary procedures intersect. This course, taught by a former State Legislator, County Councilmember, and Congressional Staffer, is designed to give participants real world training in the American legislative process. The focus will be on the Washington State Legislature, but we will also study the workings of the US House and Senate, and unicameral local legislative bodies. The goal is that upon completion of the course, students will not only understand how the legislative process really works, they will actually be prepared to work as an entry level Legislative Relations professional. The course will be organized in four segments: Segment 1: Learning basic legislative structures, rules, terms, and practices Segment 2: Objective legislative analysis. How to approach the legislative process from the perspective of a committee staff person or an agency professional. Segment 3: Legislative advocacy. How to influence the legislative process, lobbying and advocacy. Segment 4: (Ongoing) The Dance of Legislation as a case study. Throughout the quarter we will discuss this classic book as an example of how the legislative process works in the real world.

Improving Visible-Minority Representation in Local Governments in Metro Vancouver
Electing a Diverse-City: Improving visible-minority representation in local governments in Metro Vancouver by Munir-Khalid Dossa B.A. (Policy Studies), Kwantlen Polytechnic University, 2019 Project Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Public Policy in the School of Public Policy Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences © Munir-Khalid Dossa 2021 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Spring 2021 Copyright in this work rests with the author. Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Declaration of Committee Name: Munir-Khalid Dossa Degree: Master of Public Policy Thesis title: Electing a Diverse-City: Improving visible- minority representation in local governments in Metro Vancouver Committee: Chair: Dominique Gross Professor, Public Policy Josh Gordon Supervisor Assistant Professor, Public Policy John Richards Examiner Professor, Public Policy ii Ethics Statement iii Abstract Visible minorities make up roughly half of the population in Metro Vancouver. Despite this, their representation in municipal governments is very low, in partial contrast to provincial and federal levels of government, where representation is higher, although still not proportionate. This study documents this underrepresentation at the municipal level, investigates the sources of that underrepresentation and examines policy options to address it. In five case studies, the research looks at the impact of at-large versus ward electoral systems, varying rates of voter turnout, and the influence of incumbency on electoral chances of visible minority candidates. Drawing on these case studies and six subject matter interviews, the study then evaluates four policy options in the Metro Vancouver context: changing to a ward system for elections, education campaigns, civic engagement opportunities and the status quo.

2002 Annual Report
The Seattle Channel 2002 Annual Report For The Seattle Channel, 2002 was a year of change. There were changes in name, structure, mission and management. It was the year of beginning implementation of the recommendations of the Seattle Commission on Electronic Communication who delivered their report to the City in December 2001. Mayor Greg Nickels embraced the recommendations and the City Council gave mid-year funding approval to begin phase one of creating Seattle’s “Democracy Portal.” The Commission recommended a new mission statement: “To inform and engage citizens in the governmental, civic and cultural affairs of Seattle through compelling use of television, Internet and other media.” The Commission outlined a plan with 31 points to move the channel “To be a national leader in using technology to dramatically expand civic engagement and public discourse by transforming TVSea into a multimedia organization that provides compelling content and two-way communication opportunities.” Seattle’s Government cable access channel had been known the past several years as TVSea. In 2002, after work with consultant Pyramid Communication, the organization changed its name to The Seattle Channel. The new name is intended to reflect and communicate the change in mission and purpose. Also with Pyramid’s help a new style guide was adopted changing and unifying the on-air look and graphic presentation. Over the year a News Director, Webmaster, and new General Manager were hired. The Seattle Channel is both our cable TV channel (Channel 21/28) and our new interactive website www.seattlechannel.org, both focused on life in the city of Seattle.

May 17, 2021 Councilmember Teresa Mosqueda Seattle City Council 600
May 17, 2021 Councilmember Teresa Mosqueda Seattle City Council 600 Fourth Avenue Seattle, WA 98104 Dear Councilmember Mosqueda: We write to you today to urge you and your colleagues on the Seattle City Council to dedicate a majority of the new revenue flowing into the General Fund – both from local tax sources and from federal dollars allocated to the City of Seattle in the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) – to impactful investments to address the continuing and growing crisis of people living unsheltered in our city. In addition to the tragic human loss caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the economic impact to families and individuals, businesses, non-profits, and governments has in some cases been unprecedented. We recognize that as a result, the Council is balancing the needs of many interests competing for limited public resources. Placing one priority in front of others is a difficult decision and should only be made if that priority is a city-wide issue impacting the most vulnerable in our community. Unsheltered homelessness clearly meets this test. Five and a half years ago, the City of Seattle and King County formally declared a state of civil emergency for homelessness. One of the stated objectives of the civil emergency order was to request additional federal and state assistance to address homelessness. While this was not the anticipated route by which state and federal assistance would be granted to the City of Seattle, ARPA and the recently adopted state budget allocate state and federal funding to the City’s General Fund at an amount we have not seen in a generation.
