Description
Title: AN ORDINANCE appropriating money to pay certain claims for the week of February 2, 2026, through February 6, 2026, and ordering the payment thereof; and ratifying and confirming certain prior acts.
Summary
The proposed legislation, known as the OCF Payment of Bills Ordinance, authorizes the City of Seattle to pay certain financial claims for the week of February 2 to February 6, 2026. As mandated by RCW 42.24.180, these payments require City Council approval, but do not affect the City’s overall budget since funds for these claims were already appropriated. This ordinance impacts all City departments by facilitating the payment of bills and payroll, ensuring the City meets its legal financial obligations and mitigates potential legal and financial liabilities. The legislation does not introduce new projects or initiatives, and there are no identified implications for vulnerable communities or environmental concerns.
