1. Seattle City Council Public Development Authority (PDA) Guidelines

* The Council requests that the City's nine public corporations submit board minutes and agendas (by e-mail posting), financial reports and other relevant documents to the assigned City Council Committee Chair and other Councilmembers who request them. If requested by individual Councilmembers, the public corporations will also provide their charters.

* The Council requests PDA representatives to periodically appear before relevant Council committees to update the Council on their activities and share items of mutual interest.

* The Council and Council Committees will be briefed periodically by the Executive on PDA issues at the discretion of the Council President and Committee Chairs.

* Each PDA will be assigned to and reviewed by a Council committee as listed below.

2. Clarification of the Council's Role

The Executive will continue to monitor PDAs and to look after the City's interests with regard to loan guarantees and other financial or legal relationships between the City and a PDA. The Council will review the activities of PDAs as outlined above. The Council will also confirm or reject PDA board appointments.
