OK. Now the clock is ticking. CHS reported last week on the Seattle City Council task force being set up to find revenue for homelessness services and the roster of affordability and housing experts, nonprofit representatives, and, yes, marijuana entrepreneurs who had put their hats in the rings to be part of the effort. Tuesday, the final task force roster was announced:

Progressive Revenue Task Force Members:

Councilmember M. Lorena González, Co-Chair

Councilmember Lisa A. Herbold, Co-Chair

Jennifer Adams, Lived Experience of Homelessness

Andrew Coak, Labor Representative

Lisa Daugaard, Subject Matter Expert

Ian Eisenberg, Business Representative

Samantha Grad, Labor Representative

Kirsten Harris-Talley, Community Co-Chair Katie B. Wilson, Subject Matter Expert

Brianna Little, Service Provider

Daniel K. Malone, Housing/Service Provider

Tom Mathews, Business Representative

Fernando Mejia-Ledesma, Business Representative

Courtney O’Toole, Lived Experience of Homelessness

Tony To, Community Co-Chair

Maiko Winkler-Chin, Housing Provider

The group will have until February to deliver recommendations to the council that identify progressive revenue sources as well as specific investments for said revenue that help address Seattle’s homelessness crisis. If the task force doesn’t deliver recommendations by the imposed deadline, the council will begin considering implementing a version of the employee head tax by March 2018.
