Legislation

Phillips Leads Review of the 2009 King County Budget

King County faces an unprecedented $93 million shortfall in its 2009 budget. Follow the budget process in the Council's budget blog.

The Metropolitan King County Council is the legislative branch of King County government. The Council adopts ordinances and motions, sets policy for the county, and holds approval authority for the county budget. The Council uses its committee structure to consider the legislation before it. Ordinances (laws) and motions (policy statements) are assigned to a Council committee for consideration, and then are recommended to the full Council for action.

Councilmembers also serve on many special boards and commissions that deal with issues that impact communities throughout King County and the Puget Sound region. These include the Sound Transit, the Growth Management Planning Council, and the Puget Sound Regional Council.
