Position Description The Department of Education and Early Learning's (DEEL) mission is to eliminate opportunity gaps by preparing students for kindergarten, improving academic achievement, and ensuring students graduate prepared for college and career. To help achieve this goal, DEEL administers the Families and Education Levy (FEL) along with other sources of funding to support students. The FEL has been adopted by Seattle voters four times, most recently in 2011. The Levy provides approximately $33 million per year ($235 million over seven years) to support the academic success of children through investments in early childhood education, block grants to schools, and school-based health clinics and nurses. Block grants are designed to maximize academic results for students by allowing flexibility in how schools design tailored interventions for their lowest performing students. Depending on the school level, interventions may include support for families, extended learning time, social, emotional, and behavioral supports, summer learning, college and career advising, and case management. The FEL is being considered for renewal by the Seattle City Council in 2018, along with the Seattle Preschool Program.

Position Description Seattle City Light was created by the residents of Seattle in 1902 to provide affordable, reliable, and environmentally sound electric power to the City of Seattle and neighboring suburbs. Owned by the community it serves, City Light is the nation's 10th largest municipally owned utility and is a nationally recognized leader in energy efficiency, renewable resource development, and environmental stewardship. City Light provides electric power to over 447,000 residential, business, and industrial customers within a 131-square-mile service area as well as to the City of Seattle and surrounding jurisdictions that stretch approximately four miles north and south of the Seattle city limits, including parts of Shoreline, Burien, Tukwila, SeaTac, Lake Forest Park, Renton, Normandy Park, and areas of unincorporated King County. Sales to customers outside the City of Seattle represent approximately 16% of retail power sales. Seattle City Light owns approximately 2,000 megawatts of very low-cost, environmentally-responsible hydroelectric generation capacity. In an average year, City Light meets about 50% of its load with hydroelectric facilities that it owns directly and obtains the reminder primarily through the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA). City Light is a department within the City of Seattle and is subject to ordinances and resolutions adopted by the Seattle City Council and approved by the Mayor. City Light has an annual operating and capital budget of approximately $1.4 billion supported primarily by utility revenues. An additional $40 to $50 million in annual revenues is realized through the sale of surplus energy on the wholesale market. The department also issues approximately $250 million annually in utility bonds to support its capital program. Due to strong financial performance and management, City Light maintains a very good credit rating (AA/Aa2) that enables bond financing of capital projects at relatively low interest rates that helps keep rates affordable. As the largest City of Seattle department, City Light employs approximately 1,800 authorized full time-equivalent employees, of which 84% are represented by labor unions. Recent employee demographics include:• 29.0% Women • 59.9% White • 16.9% Asian/Pacific Islander • 11.1% Black/African American • 4.8% Hispanic • 2.9% Unspecified • 3.0% Bi/Multi-Racial • 1.5% American Indian/Alaskan Native City Light has a strong commitment to promoting equity for its workforce, its customers, and for the broader communities and environment that it serves and has an actively engaged community.

The GM and CEO will have full responsibility for the publicly-owned utility and will oversee all key contractual, operating, financial, and human capital areas and will provide strong, visible, and highly collaborative leadership at all levels. Planning and execution of City Light's various lines of businesses should reflect a keen focus on affordable rates, reliable electric service, and excellent customer service. The GM and CEO will provide regional leadership and visionary stewardship for creating and aligning new opportunities and growth from energy efficiency, renewable energy solutions, smart grid technology, and other greenhouse gas reduction solutions. In achieving complex, multi-layered, and integrated performance goals, the GM and CEO will work collaboratively with key stakeholders and various political constituencies that include the Mayor's Office; City Council; elected and appointed government officials; City Light's executive management team; labor coalitions; City Light employees; community and civic leaders; advocacy organizations; trade associations; contracted power companies; regulatory agencies; and impacted communities.

Position Description Seattle City Light was created by the residents of Seattle in 1902 to provide affordable, reliable, and environmentally sound electric power to the City of Seattle and neighboring suburbs. Owned by the community it serves, City Light is the nation's 10th largest municipally owned utility and is a nationally recognized leader in energy efficiency, renewable resource development, and environmental stewardship. City Light provides electric power to over 447,000 residential, business, and industrial customers within a 131-square-mile service area as well as to the City of Seattle and surrounding jurisdictions that stretch approximately four miles north and south of the Seattle city limits, including parts of Shoreline, Burien, Tukwila, SeaTac, Lake Forest Park, Renton, Normandy Park, and areas of unincorporated King County. Sales to customers outside the City of Seattle represent approximately 16% of retail power sales. Seattle City Light owns approximately 2,000 megawatts of very low-cost, environmentally-responsible hydroelectric generation capacity. In an average year, City Light meets about 50% of its load with hydroelectric facilities that it owns directly and obtains the reminder primarily through the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA). City Light is a department within the City of Seattle and is subject to ordinances and resolutions adopted by the Seattle City Council and approved by the Mayor. City Light has an annual operating and capital budget of approximately $1.4 billion supported primarily by utility revenues. An additional $40 to $50 million in annual revenues is realized through the sale of surplus energy on the wholesale market. The department also issues approximately $250 million annually in utility bonds to support its capital program. Due to strong financial performance and management, City Light maintains a very good credit rating (AA/Aa2) that enables bond financing of capital projects at relatively low interest rates that helps keep rates affordable. As the largest City of Seattle department, City Light employs approximately 1,800 authorized full time-equivalent employees, of which 84% are represented by labor unions. Recent employee demographics include:• 29.0% Women • 59.9% White • 16.9% Asian/Pacific Islander • 11.1% Black/African American • 4.8% Hispanic • 2.9% Unspecified • 3.0% Bi/Multi-Racial • 1.5% American Indian/Alaskan Native City Light has a strong commitment to promoting equity for its workforce, its customers, and for the broader communities and environment that it serves and has an actively engaged community.

The GM and CEO will have full responsibility for the publicly-owned utility and will oversee all key contractual, operating, financial, and human capital areas and will provide strong, visible, and highly collaborative leadership at all levels.
