The People's Budget

Type of funding: Programs and services (non-capital)

Rough cost estimate: Between $500,000 and $2 million

Evaluation notes:

✅ This idea could be implemented without changing current policy or law.

✅ This idea is within the City's jurisdiction. 

✅ This idea doesn't name a specific vendor. 

❌ This idea would incur costs indefinitely. 

Justification: Funds can be used over multiple years. Perhaps disperesed to community based orgs who do this work through RFP/Grant.

Other notes: Funding would be best utilized for operations across multiple years of programming. Seattle Center has space for hosting activity and the project aligns with the programming mission of the department. The implementation would need to be contracted out.
