The Metropolitan King County Council Committee of the Whole convened on September 24, 2024, under the leadership of Chair Claudia Balducci, who welcomed attendees and outlined a packed agenda. The meeting commenced with briefings from the Office of Equity, Race, and Social Justice, focusing on updates to the equity and social justice plan and the implementation of a disability equity action plan.

Following these briefings, the council addressed several legislative items, including a briefing from central policy staff regarding the Doors Open Implementation Plan, which pertains to arts, culture, heritage, and science initiatives. The council also discussed two interlocal agreements: one concerning the King County Regional Homelessness Authority and another related to the King County Conservation District, which included a review of the district's rate.

The meeting concluded with an update on the 2024 Comprehensive Plan, also presented by central policy staff.

During the session, council members participated in a roll call, with all present, and approved the minutes from the previous meeting held on August 27. Public comment was invited, with one in-person speaker and several online participants registered to share their thoughts, adhering to guidelines that restrict comments to agenda-related topics.

The meeting highlighted the council's ongoing commitment to equity and community engagement, as well as its proactive approach to addressing homelessness and conservation efforts in the region.
