Mina Chen
The Seattle City Council’s Select Budget Committee starts voting on Friday, Nov. 13, 2026, on the budget chair’s balancing package: 129 proposed changes to the mayor’s 2027 budget. The package was presented to the committee on Wednesday, Nov. 4. The full list exists only inside council documents: a 235-page packet and a Central Staff summary list, both PDF attachments. This page lists every item by department, with its ID, title and sponsors, so that a single item can be found and followed.
Caution: nothing in this list has passed. Every item is a proposal that the committee can still amend, replace or reject.

- CBA means Council Budget Action, a change to the budget itself.
- GF is the General Fund. JSF is the JumpStart Fund, which is paid for by the city’s payroll expense tax.
- A proviso is a condition on spending: the money can be used only for the named purpose.
- Sponsors are listed by last name, as in the council document. Some items list the Budget Committee or the Budget Chair instead of individual members.

Limits of this page
- Titles and sponsors are copied from the Central Staff list presented on Nov. 4, 2026, and read on Nov. 9. An item’s full text, including the dollar amounts by year and the reasoning, is in the packet.
- Dollar amounts are not added up here. Many items move money between funds or years, so a simple sum would mislead.
- Councilmembers can bring further amendments at the voting meetings. An item that is not on this list can still be proposed.
- This page will be updated with the result for each item after the committee votes.
