Chair Mark Solomon moved and the committee seconded a recommendation to confirm five nominees to the City of Seattle's Equitable Development Initiative advisory board; the committee voted 3–0 to forward the recommendation to the full City Council.

Julia Pascciuto, funding and community investments manager and acting director for the Equitable Development Initiative (EDI), introduced the five nominees and summarized the board's role. Pascciuto said the EDI advisory board "was established to advise and provide recommendations to the City in connection with its equitable development strategies and goals, provide guidance and recommendation for the allocation of funds, and promote access to opportunity for historically marginalized communities," and noted the board has 13 members under Ordinance 126,173 with staggered three‑year terms.

The nominees presented were: Stephanie Lachman (position 2), described as a loan officer at the People Solar Energy Fund with prior small‑business lending experience; Amira Beasley (position 1), a capital project manager at King County Wastewater Treatment Division with experience managing equity‑focused infrastructure projects; Ernesto Oliva (position 4), whose recent work includes coalition management and advocacy for immigrant communities; Ian West (position 7), a South End resident active with faith institutions on affordable housing efforts; and Eric Alipio (position 6), a University of Washington graduate student in landscape architecture with prior equity and anti‑displacement work.

After Pascciuto's presentation, Chair Solomon moved to recommend confirmation of appointments 3323 through 3327. A committee member seconded the motion. The clerk called the roll: Council member Royce—Aye; Council member Rink—Yes; Chair Mark Solomon—Aye. The clerk announced "3 votes in favor and 0 opposed." The committee's recommendation to confirm appointments 3323–3327 will be transmitted to the Nov. 12 City Council meeting for final confirmation.

No substantive questions were raised by committee members during the presentation.
