heaper by erica c barnett city councilmember dan strauss along with council president joy hollingsworth is proposing legislation this week that would expand access to the city s utility discount program by expanding eligibility in two stages one in 2027 and one in 2029 to include people making 60 percent and then 80 percent of seattle s area median income the discount program provides a 60 percent discount on city light bills and a 50 percent discount on seattle public utilities bills currently eligibility for the discount program is is limited to people who make 70 percent or less of the state s median income which is much lower than seattle s around 73 000 for a single person compared to about 102 000 in seattle according to an analysis from the mayor s office about 31 000 more households would become eligible for the program if the city bumps eligibility up to 60 percent of median income and another 48 000 would become eligible if that s expanded to 80 percent earlier this month strauss said he was surprised recently to learn that someone he considered well off had signed up for the program when they lost their job that just reinforced for me that is absolutely the seniors the parents of the kids that i grew up with who need the discount program strauss said this is an important affordability program for everyone in the city and we have to have that safety net if they need to use it available and easy to sign up for publicola is supported entirely by readers like you click below to become a one time or monthly contributor support publicola according to a fiscal note increasing the threshold for the program to 60 percent of area median income would cost about 5 million for seattle city light and 13 9 million for spu the money would have to come from a rate increase of 0 5 percent for city light and 0 1 percent for spu strauss said or an average increase of about 77 cents a month city light is currently considering separate increases to pay for among other things a maintenance backlog enrolling eligible ratepayers in the discount program has always been a challenge currently about 36 percent of eligible residents or around 39 000 people are enrolled strauss and hollingsworth s legislation does not directly take on this problem the program is also not available for renters without their own city light accounts whose landlords use ratio utility billing systems or rubs a type of third party billing that allows landlords to pass the cost of a building s overall utilities on to tenants and does not reflect how much service a tenant actually uses the council s governance and utilities committee which hollingsworth chairs will take up the utility discount legislation at its meeting on thursday share this publicola post email a

address financial issues at homelessness agency by erica c barnett mayor katie wilson and king county executive girmay zahilay both announced that they plan to embed an independent financial analyst in the agency as a statement from wilson put it yesterday according to zahilay s announcement this analyst will provide more transparency into financial practices improve payment processes and ensure corrective actions are being implemented with urgency wilson s announcement referred to the analyst or analysts as a financial services team that will shore up financial and internal controls at kcrha the decision came after a flurry of discussions late last week about how to respond to the kcrha s corrective action plan which laid out a series of steps to respond to a damning audit that found the agency lacked basic financial controls overspent its administrative budget and could not account for 8 million in spending the audit also found that kcrha had a consistent and growing negative budget balance around 45 million when the audit concluded an amount that had increased to 65 million by the time the auditors presented their results the announcement represented a slowdown of what had been growing momentum to wind down the agency quickly and send the contracts it manages back to the city and county agencies that used to oversee them it was also a reversal of a plan set in motion last week as recently as last friday wilson and zahilay were planning to announce on monday that they were taking back the homelessness contracts and distributing them to the city s human services department and king county s department of community and human services according to accounts from people familiar with the discussions zahilay rather than wilson was reportedly leading the charge to pull the plug homeless advocates city council members and some members of the business and philanthropic community reportedly urged caution and cooler heads apparently prevailed publicola is supported entirely by readers like you click below to become a one time or monthly contributor support publicola under the scenario the city and county were contemplating last week the kcrha would continue to exist at least temporarily as a shell of itself serving as the region s continuum of care for federal funding purposes and administering the point in time count of the region s homeless population this may still happen the decision to fund an accounting team to address the problems identified in the audit does not preclude shutting down the agency but as of now that will no longer happen on an accelerated timeline as we reported last week kcrha ceo kelly kinnison and associate deputy for strategy william towey have asked for 500 000 to hire a fnancial consultant as kinnison put it a cfo type role through the staffing firm robert half which charges hefty recruitment fees on top of their temporary staffers salaries the kcrha laid off its most recent chief financial office last october and never replaced him a spokesperson for zahilay s office said the county does not know yet how much the consultant will cost or how the city and county will split the spending wilson s office did

seattle turned on the surveillance cameras before it wrote the rules screen shot of footage from a police camera that was looming over a planned parenthood clinic on aurora avenue n obtained by our seattle through a records request by phil mocek on friday mayor katie wilson activated the stadium district surveillance cameras for the duration of the fifa world cup reversing the pause she announced in march invoking a briefing from seattle police and the fbi her late afternoon public announcement identified general but credible threats to justify the deployment two days earlier at a seattle cityclub event she had defined a credible threat narrowly information that a specific person has the intention to cause harm and that it is believable that they might be able to carry it out a general threat at a large event is not the narrow thing she defined it is the ambient condition of hosting a mega event present at any gathering of this scale identified by no one in particular aimed at no one in particular as a justification for recording crowds of people suspected of nothing it has no natural limit and will return every time the city hosts the world the standard wilson set on wednesday did not survive even until friday what she conceded in the same breath as her announcement matters as much as her reversal even as the cameras go on wilson said the city will continue honing our policies and protections to safeguard the data these videos capture those protections have not been written the cameras are on anyway recording everyone who passes by without any suspicion of wrongdoing that is the entrance built before the exit the sequence that quietly turns a temporary emergency measure into permanent infrastructure the city already has a working example of the alternative spd has suspended its patrol car license plate readers while it works out how to comply with a new state law restricting collection near schools clinics and courts rules first then the system for the stadium cameras though the city reversed that order the debate that produced this was flattened into a single question on or off but on or off was always the wrong question the consequential questions are who controls the switch under what written rules where the footage goes how long it is kept and who can access it on friday the city answered on and left the rest blank strip away the world cup urgency and the case for the cameras rests on one claim that the footage might help after something goes wrong wilson acknowledged as much at cityclub where she said cameras are less useful for preventing or deterring crime than for solving it that concession should end the prevention argument the camera hawks on the city council are making but investigative usefulness was never the test almost any sufficiently invasive practice is useful to investigators door to door searches would be document checkpoints would be unfettered access to medical records would be we restrict those not because they don t work but because a free society does not make its residents prove their innocence to a camera the burden is on the government to justify watching a population suspected of nothing it might help does not carry that burden by turning the cameras on wilson added to a system that already sits in constitutionally uncertain territory washington s constitution forbids disturbing anyone s private affairs without authority of law and the state supreme court reads that guarantee as broader than the federal fourth amendment broad enough to require a warrant before police track a car s movements state v jackson and explicit that the protection does not shrink merely because people have grown accustomed to being watched federally the u s supreme court held in carpenter v united states that assembling a record of a person s movements over time can constitute a search even when each movement happens in public while declining to decide whether ordinary security cameras cross the same line a permanent recorded searchable network trained on public crowds sits squarely in the space those rulings left open the cameras on aurora already sat there the stadium network enlarges it what changed on friday is not the constitutional question but the mayor s posture toward it in march she hit pause precisely to avoid feeding that uncertainty and on friday she fed it anyway before the safeguards she promised exist none of this is a complaint about cameras in general the stadium district was never going to be unwatched the city s emergency operations center already takes continuous feeds from hundreds of sdot traffic cameras and police routinely pull footage from private businesses after an incident what is different about the stadium cameras 20 installations each consisting of four fixed lenses forming a 360 degree view plus one pan tilt zoom camera for 100 distinct feeds is what becomes of the images they feed spd s real time crime center as city councilmember bob kettle approvingly noted in his statement commending the activation the decision connect s them to the real time crime center there the footage is recorded retained and searchable what sets it apart from a live traffic feed is not the lens but the system behind it images pulled into a police database held and made available for investigative use rather than passing through and vanishing because this database is hosted by a private vendor it can be retrieved by subpoena including from out of state the city s own surveillance law already says as much data may be shared to the extent required by court order subpoena or as otherwise required by law no matter what data protections the city has promised and the footage need not wait for a subpoena in order to escape anyone can request and receive it under the public records act including as advocates have noted out of state authorities checking who drove past a reproductive health care clinic it is a different object from a live traffic feed and it is the object now switched on a spokesperson clarified to publicola that once the games are over the city will turn the cameras back off until a long term decision is made about the original pilot program that is welcome but it is not a sunset date or a binding protocol and switching cameras off is not the same as deleting what they recorded the fine print the city skipped is still missing published activation criteria a single named official accountable for making the call a retention and deletion schedule for everything captured or derived from it a firm decommissioning date and a binding commitment that the data will be purged and never shared for immigration enforcement purposes none of that requires waiting all of it could be published before the first world cup match on june 15 the council s majority spent months pressing wilson to turn the cameras on but it cannot compel a mayor to run a surveillance system and no one should want it to that power would effectively bind every future mayor to operate every funded system no matter what later comes to light wilson says she cares about privacy and that her team is working on the rules a published protocol a firm deletion date and a decommissioning plan before june 15 would prove it until then turning the cameras on is not a public safety policy it is the absence of one phil mocek is a software engineer and civic technologist who researches government surveillance and public records compliance in washington share this publicola post email a link to a
