The City of Seattle has announced that due to COVID-19, all citizens advisory committee (CAC) and standing advisory committee (SAC) meetings will be held only as necessary over the next several months.
This means that the City-University Community Advisory Committee monthly meetings have been cancelled for July and August 2020. The City of Seattle will determine whether regular meetings will resume in the fall and winter.
This is the first annual report on physical development under the University of Washington’s Seattle Campus Master Plan as approved by the Seattle City Council in February 2019. The report is structured to respond to reporting requirements found in the City University Agreement (Ordinance 121193); the ordinance approving the Campus Master Plan (Ordinance 125733); and the Conditions of Approval attached to that ordinance. This report covers January through December 2019.
In this reporting period, two sites have been selected by the University of Washington for development: S40 (Health Sciences Education Building) and C4 (Founders Hall). However, no projects have been completed during this time. The University measured a 18.2% single occupancy vehicle rate, which is a decline of 0.7% since 2018. In July 2019, the University began offering a fully subsidized U-Pass to 14,000 Classified Staff and Academic Student Employees. As this the beginning of a new Master Plan, most Conditions of Approval have not been completed yet.
The City University Community Advisory Committee (CUCAC) meetings for May and June have been cancelled as the region continues to follow the Governor’s Stay Home, Stay Healthy order. These cancellations are for the safety of all involved.
Please check back for updates concerning future CUCAC meetings. Thank you.
The Census is the every-decade opportunity to count every person living in the United States and five U.S. territories. The 2020 Census is now underway and the public is strongly encouraged to respond online, though responding by phone or mail is also an option. As a reminder, Census results are used to determine representation in Congress and informs how billions of dollars are distributed to regions for hospitals, schools, roads, and more.
Unfortunately, students are typically undercounted for a variety of reasons. This year proves tougher still because COVID-19 has reshuffled plans for how Census teams planned to carry out the count.
Every response is important. Learn more at https://2020census.gov/en/ways-to-respond.html
In light of recommendations from the City of Seattle to cancel non-essential community meetings to help stem spread of the coronavirus, CUCAC for April 14 is cancelled.
