Summary
Seattle’s August 18, 2026 Introduction and Referral Calendar lists legislation and appointments sent to Council committees for review; it does not indicate final adoption. Items include payment of City claims, 23 appointments or reappointments to advisory boards and commissions, and employment ordinances revising civil-service coverage, job titles, and pay classifications. CB 121278 would broaden municipal civil-rights protections to recognize nonbinary identities, pansexuality, asexuality, and consensual multi-partner relationships. Several proposals address vehicle residency, including leases for transitional encampments and respite areas, revised vehicle and outdoor-storage definitions, a permitting program for motor homes and trailers, budget changes, and a Vehicle Resident Assistance Program. Other measures concern gun-violence reduction, transportation funding oversight, and the sweetened-beverage-tax advisory board. The calendar matters because referrals identify which committees will examine proposals affecting City services, employment, public safety, land use, civil rights, and community representation before possible Council action.
