You are a part of an extraordinary group with a strong entrepreneurial spirit, high intellectual curiosity, and a deep understanding of the power of collaboration. WTIA includes 1,000 member companies, with more than 200,000 employees plus another 200,000 family members of those employees. That community is a powerful political and economic force — a force that can — and arguably must — be mobilized to build a strong technology sector in a thriving community. We have accomplished much in these past few years... • Over 500 small companies (over 15,000 people) get affordable healthcare, 401(k), and/or business insurance thanks to our work. • Over 10,000 hours volunteered by various, unique and disparate industry sectors to develop new methodologies helping teams solve highly complex problems like affordable housing, homelessness, and traffic congestion. • Over 940 people lifted from subsistence level conditions into high-wage careers through our tech apprenticeship program, creating over one billion dollars of income for families who would otherwise have been left behind in our economy. These wonderful outcomes are indeed worth celebrating, but we should not rest on our laurels. There is much work left to be done. Thank you for your commitment to make an extra effort to successfully build together!

By Walt North I hope you had plenty of chances to enjoy our northwest spo- radic sunshine. Summer is gone and fall is here with winter not far be- hind. In the blink of an eye, before winter arrives, the much anticipated COLA checks will be ours. We now have a brand new director for our retirement system. Please read about her in this newspaper issue. The ARSCE Board’s sincere thanks to Mel Robertson who, as Acting Director of the Re- tirement System, kept everything on track for active employees and we retirees. We had a wonderful luncheon at the Elks Club in Lake City this past September. The food was good, as usual, but the entertain- ment was excellent. This is the third time that ARSCE invited Debbie Dimitre of Patchwork Tales to perform. This time Debbie portrayed Eleanor Roosevelt. It is amazing that with very few props, Debbie transformed herself into our first politically active “First Lady.” ARSCE’s festive holiday party will be held at the Lake City Elks Club on Wednesday, December 12th, 2007. (See the sign-up form on the last page of this newspaper.) This is our big event for the year. We hope you will come and enjoy this holiday gala as we want your help to celebrate with those of us who will receive our first COLA ever.

  • SEC Rule 15C2-11Restricted Securities
    SEC Rule 15c2-11Restricted Securities On September 28, 2021, new amendments to Rule 15c-211 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 go into effect to enhance investor protection and improve issuer transparency. These amendments restrict the ability of market makers to publish quotations for those companies that have not made required current financial and company information available to regulators and investors. Ahead of the regulatory enforcement date, TD Ameritrade will only accept orders to liquidate positions - (i.e. no new buy orders) starting on or after September 3, 2021. Please note: After the amendment officially goes into effect on September 28, 2021, it may be more difficult to liquidate these securities. Quoting and market liquidity may also be very limited.

  • Finance and Administrative Services
    Finance and Administrative Services 579 580 Finance and Administrative Services Section 1 – Overview The Finance and Administrative Services (FAS) Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is the department’s blueprint for planning, replacing, maintaining, remodeling and upgrading FAS-managed facilities and IT infrastructure. These assets are used by City departments, as well as certain nonprofit organizations that serve the public, to deliver critical services to Seattle residents. FAS’ proposed CIP includes appropriations for ongoing capital programs and discrete, one-time capital projects with multiyear durations. Multi-year projects are identified by multiple priorities, including City goals (e.g., greenhouse gas reduction, public safety), code compliance and severity of system deficiencies and importance to tenant department operations. Planned schedules and funding commitments for these types of multi-year projects are typically made every year in conjunction with the annual budget process. The six-year FAS 2021-2026 CIP includes approximately $119 million in funding for new and existing projects and programs. Section 2a – Thematic Priorities FAS is responsible for the operation and maintenance of approximately 3.2 million square feet of building space throughout the city, including municipal courts, police and fire facilities, shops and fleet maintenance facilities, high-rise office space in the civic core, parking garages and some of the City’s community-based public service facilities. FAS’ capital investments either improve or enhance the operational capacity of these mission-critical facilities and systems. FAS’ CIP addresses the following priorities: Asset preservation – As authorized in Ordinance 121642, FAS dedicates annual funding in the CIP to support the replacement of existing building systems, guided by strict policies to ensure those funds are used exclusively to preserve, extend or replace failing and existing components such as roofs, windows, structures, electrical capacity, boilers or other systems at the end of their useful lives.
