Title: January 20, 2026
Summary
On January 20, 2026, the Seattle City Council introduced two key pieces of legislation. The first, CB 121154, involves the appropriation of funds to settle claims incurred during the week of January 5-9, 2026. This ordinance ensures that the necessary payments are made and affirms previous actions taken by the Council. The second legislation, CB 121155, pertains to the Bitter Lake Reservoir Governance and Replacement Project. It transfers a portion of property from Seattle Public Utilities to the Seattle Department of Transportation for street and sidewalk development, thereby designating it as right-of-way. This project is significant as it facilitates urban infrastructure improvements and supports the city's long-term governance of public utilities. Both measures aim to enhance city operations
