Evidence detail
Only captured document pages are used for this section.
The document states: Effect: This amendment would request that the Executive analyze the price of groceries, reward and loyalty program availability, and number of covered retailers in Seattle and report to Council on these findings on an annual basis while this ordinance is in effect.
The document states: Add a new Section 2 to CB 121267 as follows and renumber subsequent sections: Section 2. It is the Council’s intent that the Executive conduct, on an annual basis, an analysis of the price of groceries, as defined in RCW 82.84.030, sold by covered retailers, as defined in Section 7.35.010 of the Seattle Municipal Code, in the City of Seattle (City). A report on the findings of this analysis is requested to be transmitted to Council by December 31st of every year that this ordinance is in effect. The report should include information on the change in the average price of groceries in the City relative to the year prior, a comparison of the average price of groceries in the City with the average price of groceries in neighboring cities in King County such as Bellevue, Burien, Issaquah, Kirkland, Renton, and Shoreline, the availability of loyalty and/or rewards programs offered by covered retailers within the City, and the total number and geographic distribution of covered retailers within the City. The grocery price analysis should be conducted using a “basket of goods” methodology comparable to the “food at home” groceries category employed by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics in calculation of the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
