Here,

could
you
please
lead
us
in
the
flag
salute.
D
A
Opposed
okay,
great
city
clerk,
do
we
have
anybody
signed
up
for
oral
Communications.
A
B
14
speakers
this
evening,
okay,
which
does
push
us
beyond
our
30-minute
total
time
limit
for
oral
Communications.
Therefore,
the
mayor
is
authorized
to
give
preference
to
those
speaking
to
items
on
the
agenda
this
evening
or
who
have
not
spoken
to
Council
in
the
last
quarter.
I
also
need
to
remind
everyone
that,
in
compliance
with
Washington
state
public
disclosure
laws
regarding
the
use
of
public
facilities
during
elections,
no
election
related
topics
may
be
discussed
during
oral
Communications
or
during
other
public
participation
points
on
tonight's
agenda.
B

10A
there
is
an
informational
briefing
from
King
County
on
the
King,
County
veterans,
seniors
and
Human
Services
Levy
no
comments
during
oral
Communications
can
be
taken
on
that
topic.
I
do
notice.
A
couple
of
folks
signed
up
and
I
will
ask
a
question
of
those
folks
when
I
get
to
them.
With
that
being
said,
I
will
call
our
first
Speaker,
which
is
Clifford
coffin.
E
Hello,
council,
members
and
Madam
mayor
thank
you
for
giving
me
a
moment
to
speak
today.
As
some
of
you
know,
my
name
is
Cliff
Coughlin
I'm,
the
advocacy
and
policy
manager
for
Habitat
for
Humanity
of
Seattle
kid
in
case
counties.
We
appreciate
the
city
of
Bellevue
moving
quickly
on
this
next
right.
Work
agenda,
we're
in
support
of
the
council
advancing
the
waiver
are
rather
studying
the
waiver.
E
We
are
in
support
of
advancing
a
type
of
waiver
for
permit
review
and
inspection
for
projects
are
100,
affordable
at
80
percent,
Ami
or
meaningfully
incorporate
affordability
into
them.
During
your
stay
session,
site
you'll
learn
more
about
this
proposal
of
a
view
waiver
or
a
permit
review
and
inspections
on
permanently
affordable
housing.
E
This
waiver
would
be
a
straightforward
and
effective
action
to
take
in
order
to
incentivize
creating
affordable
housing
for
everyday
people
who
work
in
Bellevue
teachers,
bus
drivers,
grocery
stores,
workers,
bellevue's
housing
crisis
is
excluding
everyday
people
from
being
able
to
live
and
work
in
the
city
and
drive
more
and
more
people
away
from
economic
opportunities
and
resources.
Building,
affordable
housing
is
key
to
addressing
this
crisis.
E
As
many
of
you,
many
of
you
have
expressed
many
of
you
know
this
is
a
crisis
of
this
is
a
crisis
for
many
of
the
people
who
we
work
with,
who
are
unable
for
Rising
housing
costs
and
see
affordable
home
ownership
as
a
solution.
In
order
to
build
those
permanently
affordable
homes,
you
need
to
be
able
to
afford
to
move
forward
with
a
project
as
well
as
other,
affordable
housing
providers.
E
Increased
development
costs,
kill,
affordable
housing
projects
overall
decrease
in
cost
of
affordable
housing
increases
the
likelihood
of
having
permanently
affordable
housing
in
Bellevue.
It
may
be
cliche
for
me
to
say
this
at
this
point,
but
we
believe
that
this
is
an
investment
in
making
the
city
one
where,
as
our
mission
States,
everyone
can
have
a
safety
is
an
affordable
place
to
live.
So
thank
you
for
your
consideration
on
this
matter
and
have
a
good
evening.
F
F
It's
important
to
note
that
this,
the
community
is
still
trying
to
understand
the
complexities
and
the
impact
of
House
Bill
1110
and
now,
with
the
increased
height
of
the
same
properties.
Up
to
six
stories,
the
compounded
impact
will
forever
change
the
character
of
our
neighborhoods,
while
some
of
these
changes
may
be
reasonable
for
commercial
District,
the
expansive
scope
of
the
Eis,
including
single-family
homes,
is
fundamentally
wrong.
The
preferred
alternative
is
in
direct
conflict
to
their
principles
and
insurances
made
by
this
Council
over
the
past
decade.
F
The
wedding
cake
model
championed
by
the
city
made
it
possible
for
substantial
investment
in
Residential
Properties
outside
the
downtown
core.
Yet,
if
approved
by
the
city,
the
Eis
would
be
abandoned.
This
agreement
with
the
community.
In
summary,
the
preferred
alternative
should
not
be
approved
for
the
Fallen
seven
reasons,
one
it
directly
effect
conflicts
with
the
comp
plan
that
was
approved
less
than
two
years
ago
diminishes
the
buffer
and
separation
between
Bellevue
and
Loch.
Laven
number
three
does
not
consider
the
loss
of
privacy
to
nearby
properties.
F
Number
four
does
not
consider
the
loss
of
light
and
Shadow
footprint
on
adjacent
properties
and
impact
to
the
tree.
Canopy
five
does
not
reflect
the
impact
of

pedestrian
safety
parking
curve.
Management
number
six
does
not
impact.
Consider
the
impact
to
utilities
infrastructure,
including
police
and
fire
resources
and
number
seven
does
lacks.
It-
lacks
a
economic
impact
assessment
to
the
homeowner's
property
values
all
I
ask
for
you
is
to
send
the
Eis
back
to
the
planning
department.
F
Council
needs
to
require
a
data-driven
analysis
and
establish
a
realistic
schedule
to
allow
all
stakeholders
adequate
time
to
review
these
proposals
over
the
past
24
months.
This
Council
has
made
significant
progress.
Increasing
housing
alternate
Alternatives
and
topographies,
but
today
Council
needs
to
draw
a
line
in
the
sand
of
what's
reasonable.
F
G
Thank
you
good
evening,
mayor
Robinson
and
members
of
the
council,
I'm
Andrew
culkins,
the
director
of
policy
and
intergovernmental
Affairs
at
the
King
County
Housing
Authority,
and
serve
as
the
co-chair
of
the
Eastside,
affordable
housing
Coalition.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
today
and
thank
you
for
your
commitment
to
continually
looking
at
ways
to
bring
more
affordable
housing
to
Bellevue.
To
that
end,
I'm
speaking
today
to
lend
my
support
to
the
permit
review
and
inspection
fee
reduction
proposal
for
affordable
housing
Construction
in
Bellevue.
G
As
we
all
know,
our
region
is
facing
significant
challenges
when
it
comes
to
affordable
housing
and
while
we
need
to
build
more
homes
for
people
at
all
income
levels
to
address
a
housing
shortage,
it's
imperative
that
we
also
provide
greater
opportunities
for
non-profit
and
public
entities
to
develop
new
permanently
affordable
housing
sites
to
support
bellevue's
lowest
income
residents.
I
strongly
urge
the
city
to
move
forward
with
the
proposal
to
waive
development
permit
and
inspection
fees
on
affordable
housing
construction.
G
G
Lastly,
in
addition
to
supporting
the
city's
reduction
of
fees
and
Expediting
permitting
for
affordable
housing
projects,
we
also
support
the
city,
maximizing
cepa,
categorical
exemptions
to
reduce
development
costs,
reduce
regulatory
burden
and
bring
more
affordable
units
to
Market
faster
together.
These
proposals
would
be
home,
runs
for
Bellevue
and
I,
encourage
you
to
move
them
forward.
Thank
you.
H
Mayor
Robinson,
council
members,
I'm
speaking
tonight
on
behalf
of
the
Bellevue
Chamber
regarding
the
sepa
exemptions
in
support
of
the
chamber,
appreciates
and
encourages
City's
continued
work
on
simplifying
and
streamlining
the
permitting
process.
The
efficiency
of
the
city's
permitting
process,
as
the
council
well
knows,
is
key
to
addressing
the
housing
crisis
we're
currently
experiencing
it's
the
pipeline
to
which
all
projects
flow
and
is
an
indicator
of
the
city's
relationship
with
the
private
sector
and
specifically
the
development
community.
So
the
city's
work
on
this
really
shows
that
they
care
about
that
relationship.
H
With
this
in
mind,
we'd
like
to
highlight
Senate
Bill
5412
that
would
allow
for
all
residential
mixed-use
projects
to
be
sipa
exempt.
If
a
city
chooses
to
do
so,
the
chamber
is
fully
supportive
of
studying
this
approach
and
as
to
whether
allowing
residential
projects
to
be
fully
super
exempt
would
streamline
the
process.
H
We
continue
to
be
in
support
of
the
city's
next
right
work.
Efforts
in
addressing
housing
metrics
in
Bellevue,
because
increased
housing
Supply
improves
market
conditions,
especially
when
it
comes
to
affordability.
We
urge
the
city
to
consider
streamlining
permitting
for
both
affordable
projects
and
market
rate
projects
jurisdictions
in
the
past
decades
were
unable
to
keep
up
with
Market
demands
for
housing,
which
has
had
a
Rippling
effect
on
our
housing
Supply
and
therefore
their
current
lack
of
affordability.
H
We
are
now
left
with
the
unfortunate
task
of
picking
and
choosing
who
deserves
housing
in
the
most
in
the
current
environment.
Housing
affordability
continues
to
be
just
as
much
of
an
issue
for
a
majority
of
bellevue's
Workforce
and
as
the
Chamber
of
Commerce.
It's
our
priority
to
ensure
that
Workforce
can
that
Workforce
excuse
me
can
afford
to
live
where
they
work.
This
should
not
be
only
a
priority
for
us
as
an
organization,
but
the
cities
as
well.
H
B
I
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak.
My
name
is
Barbara
Braun
I
appreciate
all
the
planning
work
being
done
across
the
city
that
will
allow
density
and
affordable
housing
while
maintaining
our
values
such
as
livability
climate
tree
canopy,
Etc
and
I
am
generally
in
supportive
of
measures
and
incentives
to
streamline
the
permitting
process
that
will
increase
housing
production
on
housing.
Diversity
within
the
city.
That
said,
I
think
it's
important
to
set
forth
clear
objectives
for
the
categorical
exemptions
work,
so
that
the
permitting
of
these
projects
does
not
result
in
building
stock.
I
Since
the
bulk
of
additional
housing
in
the
next
20
years
needs
to
be
affordable
and
with
our
pending
diversification
strategy,
sorry
densification
strategy,
we
must
assume
that
most
of
the
new
buildings
will
fall
under
the
categorical
exemption
process
and
therefore
will
have
a
significant
influence
on
the
quality
of
life
in
Bellevue
in
the
future.
It
must
not
be
treated
as
somehow
lesser
than
the
rest
of
Bellevue
in
terms
of
quality
or
standards
or
so
tiny
in
its
percentage
of
new
building.
I
That
compromise
has
no
impact
with
the
proposed
exemption
levels
for
single-family,
multi-family
and
Commercial,
increasing
so
dramatically
in
The
Proposal.
We
could
easily
end
up
with
a
large
swath
of
compromised
building
stock.
That
is
more
of
a
liability
than
a
step
into
the
sustainable
mid-century.
I
urge
the
council
to
step
back
tonight
to
make
sure
the
scope
and
objectives
of
the
sipa
categorical
exemptions.
Project
includes
the
thorough
the
thorough
assessment
to
ensure
this
permitting
process
will
still
result
in
buildings
that
meet
our
emissions
goals
are
not
heat.
I
J
Good
evening
I'm
Alexa
rill
Bellevue
resident
for
14
years
first
I
wanted
to
thank
you
for
approving
the
full
Police
Department
budget
in
November.
It
was
a
necessary
step
for
supporting
our
growing
City,
but
the
next
step
is
to
retain
current
police
officers,
while
expanding
the
department
with
the
best
candidates
possible
in
an
extremely
competitive,
recruiting
environment.
J
J
The
truth
is
police
officers.
Don't
want
to
work
for
a
city
council
that
doesn't
understand
the
job
or
see
the
people
behind
it.
So
my
suggestion
for
council
members
and
the
city
manager
is
this
I'd
like
each
of
you
to
go
on
a
third
shift:
Ride
Along
one
night
this
summer
with
the
Frontline
Bellevue
officer.
J
Why?
Because
the
Bellevue
city
council
needs
to
have
a
healthy
relationship
with
the
Bellevue
Police
Department
as
a
governing
body.
It
is
incumbent
upon
you
to
make
the
first
move.
Healthy
relationships
require
an
understanding
based
in
curiosity.
Spending
a
few
hours
with
the
front
line
officer
is
an
act
of
curiosity.
J
You
should
be
curious
to
know
the
third
shift.
Police
officers
experience
higher
levels
of
diabetes,
heart
disease,
sleep
issues
and
mental
health
conditions,
and
you
should
be
curious
to
know
that
up
to
one
in
four
police
officers,
May
screen
positive
for
depression,
anxiety,
PTSD,
self-harm
or
suicidal
ideation.
J
J
K
Hello,
when
I
was
reviewing
the
documents
for
tonight's
meeting,
I
was
honestly
shocked
to
find
that
we
don't
already
have
permit
Expediting
as
an
incentive
for
affordable
housing
and
I
hope
that,
in
addition
to
improving
that,
in
parallel
with
tonight's
work
that
you'll
consider
protecting
trees
with
a
similar
mechanism
as
a
city,
we
have
an
agreed-upon
goal
of
40
tree
canopy
and
lots
which
meet
the
40
goal
at
the
time
of
project.
Completion
should
be
given
priority
in
the
permitting
process.
K
If
there's
a
multiplier
based
on
height,
this
incentive
might
be
most
relevant
to
building
sites
with
big
old
trees.
For
instance,
there
might
be
a
double
credit
for
trees
over
75
feet
and
triple
for
those
over
a
hundred
feet.
I
would
be
so
happy
to
see
a
lot
that
has
15
coverage
with
trees
over
100
feet
tall,
given
a
priority
in
the
permitting
process
and
I
believe
it
will
make
that
lot
more
valuable
to
the
developer,
with
the
trees
than
without
the
trees.
K
Avoiding
some
of
the
preemptive
cutting
I
also
think
we
could
have
potentially
credit
for
canopy.
That
extends
over
the
lot
line,
with
the
agreement
of
the
neighbor
and
a
bonus
for
tree
canopy
along
the
street.
So
even
though
many
projects
won't
qualify
for
this
I
think
it's
an
incentive
that
is
feasible
in
many
cases,
for
a
developer
to
take
advantage
of
I
also
wanted
to
talk
about
growth
in
the
fall
2022
scoping
meeting
handout.
K
Getting
added
to
Bellevue
also
completely
unrealistic
right,
but
as
of
this
month,
if
you
look
at
what's
been
going
on
with
the
Planning
Commission
meetings,
it
appears
that
even
deis
alternative
3
is
not
necessarily
an
upper
Bound
for
our
2044
zoning
I.
Don't
think
anyone
is
tracking
what
increases
in
population
the
changes
here
and
there
might
represent,
but
I
hope
we
do
start
tracking.
That
and
I
also
see
a
mix
and
match
approach
with
Selective
changes.
That
might
have
generated
more
comment
earlier.
K
K
Debunk,
building
size
or
Heights
upward
I'm,
asking
for
adequate
public
notice,
with
Flyers
mailed
to
each
home,
with
a
45-day
comment
period
for
the
residents,
at
least
for
the
homes
that
are
close
enough
to
have
these
bigger
buildings
looking
down
on
them
or
into
their
windows.
I
also
think
we
need
to
increase
our
planning
staff
to
handle
this
onslaught
of.
B
You
very
much
your
time
has
expired.
Thank
you.
We
do
have
three
speakers
signed
up
on
the
list
to
what
appears
to
speak
about
the
levy,
so
I'm
going
to
call
your
names
really
quickly
here:
amarinthia
Torres,
Riza,
pedrem
and
Jerry
croon,
who
I
believe
are
all
joining
us
virtually.
If
you
incorrectly
signed
up
to
speak
about
the
levy
and
intended
to
speak
about
another
topic,
please
raise
your
hand,
but,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
the
council
will
not
be
able
to
take
comment
on
the
ballot
measure
this
evening.
L
We
must
confront
the
reality
that
the
current
way
of
working
does
not
focus
on
collaboration
and
move
forward
towards
Mutual
understanding
and
solutions.
I'd
like
to
point
out
that
the
woman
who
was
just
speaking
had
some
facts
wrong
and
her
facts
are
wrong.
Based
on,
she
hasn't
been
educated
on
the
deis
and
the
plans
that
were
going
forward,
things
that
people
see
is
95
thousand
housing
units.
L
They
forget
that
that's
housing
units,
not
people,
first
of
all
and
second
of
all,
they
forget
that
those
housing
units
are
we're
only
going
to
do
35
000
to
2044..
We
have
to
figure
out
what
dials
we
have
to
be
able
to
turn
those
back
and
forth.
But
that's
the
only
thing
we
have
right
now
is
the
plan
is
35
000
more
by
2044..
It
doesn't
matter
how
many
we
make
available.
That's
what
we
need
to
do.
L
The
the
current
Pace
does
not
allow
deep
thinking
or
general
participation.
The
commutative
work
is
volunteer
work,
unlike
businesses.
We
have
to
have
have
time
available.
L
On
the
12th
of
June,
we
were
handed
the
deas
comments
all
got
put
in
and
then
immediately
on
the
14th.
L
L
A
number
of
us
in
the
city
working
mostly
people
that
are
under
the
one
Bellevue
chat
now
I
met
with
a
male
and
Tara
and
we're
going
to
be
working
on
knowing
the
schedules
better.
But
my
word
to
you
is
that
we
really
need
to
think
about
the
schedule
and
if
you
guys
are
pushing
the
schedule
and
without
getting
the
great
comment,
I
need
you
guys
to
change
your
mind
on
that
schedule
and
let's
get
realistic.
Thank
you.
M
Wonderful
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
brief
moment
to
share
with
student
members
of
the
council
and
the
mayor
that
the
four
libraries
within
the
city
of
Bellevue
limits
have
now
just
now
expanded
our
hours
to
the
point
that
the
Bellevue
Library
in
The
Crossroads
Library,
are
now
open
seven
days
a
week
and
the
Lake
Hills
and
Newport
Way
libraries
will
now
be
open
up
to
six
days
a
week.
M
We've
added
hours
into
the
evening
and
on
to
the
weekends
in
order
to
meet
the
maximum
member
number
of
community
needs
available,
I
and
look
forward
to
meeting
with
all
of
you
in
the
future
and
continuing
the
great
work
that
the
libraries
and
the
City
of
Bellevue
do
to
promote
the
information
literacy
and
the
Freedom
of
Information
for
all
of
our
residents
here
in
Bellevue.
M
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Today.
N
N
I
heard
an
earlier
speaker
talk
about
the
need
to
establish
friendly
relations
between
the
city
council
Council.
For
some
reason
my
tongue
seems
to
be
tripping
itself
up,
but
I
shall
proceed.
City
friendly
relations
between
the
city
council
and
the
value
police,
and
the
suggestion
was
that
City
Council
Members
Ride
Along
on
late
night
shifts
with
the
which
the
police
do
patrols.
What
not
that's
a
good
suggestion,
I
have
a
different
suggestion.
N
My
suggestion
would
be
that
the
Bellevue
police
try
to
establish
friendly
relations
with
the
law-abiding
residents
of
this
city,
one
of
whom
happens
to
be
me.
A
couple
of
weeks
ago,
I
live
in
The,
Crossroads,
neighborhood
North
East
Bellevue.
A
couple
of
weeks
ago,
I
was
taking
a
walk
from
my
home
through
the
Highlands
Park
to
to
the
mall
Highland
Park
Mall
I,
believe
it's
called
with
the
Safeway
Applebee's
gas
station
Etc
on
140th
Avenue,
any
bordered
by
Bel
Red
and
any
20th
Road.
N
The
path
walking
path
goes
through
a
picturesque
area
where
the
boarded
sidewalk
and
there's
a
Kelsey
Creek
by
the
side
and
there's
a
little
picturesque
little
wooden
bridge,
which
I
needed
to
cross
to
get
to
the
other
side
to
get
to
140th
Avenue
so
that
I
could
get
to
the
mall.
A
couple
of
transients
were
hanging
out
there
at
the
bridge
blocking
my
path.
N
N
O
O
My
daughter
Nazi
Pig,
my
name
Alex
Zimmerman
and
I,
live
in
Bellevue
more

years

So
every

Issaquah
Tacoma.
P
Council
members
I
have
three
items
to
report
another
managed
report
this
evening.
The
first
topic
is
really
good
news
item:
it's
the
review
of
the
Bellevue
family.
Fourth
event:
as
council
is
aware,
there
is
a
very
successful
Fourth
of
July
event
held
in
the
downtown
park.
Last
Tuesday
joining
us
this
evening
for
a
brief
post-event
report
are
Patrick
Bannon,
a
Bellevue
Downtown
Association
president,
as
well
as
Michael
shiosaki,
belly
parks
and
Community
Services
director
with
that
I'll
go
ahead
and
turn
over
to
the
team.
Q
Good
evening,
mayor
Robinson,
Deputy,
Mayor,
newenhouse
and
members
of
the
city
council,
you
know
I
have
the
pleasure,
with
Patrick
Bannon
of
the
Bellevue
Downtown
Association,
to
provide
a
recap
of
last
weeks
and
I
think
by
every
measure
very
successful,
Bellevue,
family
fourth
and
first
I
just
like
to
say
it
was
great
to
see
all
of
you
out
at
the
event
last
last
Tuesday
with
an
estimated
attendance
of
50
000
of
our
friends,
neighbors
and
guests.
Q
But
you
know
first
I
wanted
to
start
off
with
a
big
thank
you
to
the
Bellevue
Downtown
Association,
really
a
wonderful
partner
in
this
annual
event
and
I.
Think
from
the
city
Side.
This
was
really
a
one
city
effort
thanks
to
many
many
City
staff
members.
That
worked
the
event
and
also
did
a
lot
of
planning.
Q
So
almost
200
staff
members
in
all
primarily
from
police,
fire
utilities,
Transportation
the
office
of
emergency
management
and,
of
course,
parks
and
community
services,
and
then
a
couple
of
key
I
would
say:
team
member,
shout
outs
to
Jared
Gilmore
with
parks
and
community
services
and
Mike
ogliore
with
the
Bellevue
Downtown
Association.
Q
R
Thank
you,
Michael
and
I
am
one
member
of
a
very
spirited
team
that
pulled
it
all
together
and
it
has
been
31
years
of
mutual
support
and
shared
collaboration
and
polling
the
event
together.
It's
a
big
event
at
a
major
scale
and
a
couple
highlights
from
our
end,
the
main
stage
saw
three
and
a
half
hours
of
live
entertainment
from
the
Soulful
sounds
of
Lady
a
to
the
cover
band,
Laurel
Canyon
Legacy,
with
folk
and
rock
hits
to
a
stirring
national
anthem,
rendition
from
Newport
High
School,
alum,
Sarah,
Rose,
Davis.
C
R
So
a
hearty
thanks
to
our
sponsors
and
partners,
including
the
city
of
Bellevue,
and
especially
to
those
in
our
business
Community,
who
continue
to
put
forth
their
resources
to
help
this
event
happen.
Those
include
Amazon,
paccar,
Puget,
Sound,
Energy
and
then
Media,
Partners
106.9
and
the
Seattle
Times
and
then.
Finally,
our
title
sponsor
the
Bellevue
collection
and
Kemper
development
company
who
have
for
the
entirety
of
this
partnership,
allowed
the
parking
to
be
used
to
provide
traffic
flow
and
management
and
to
be
our
title
sponsor
of
the
event
to
make
it
possible.
R
Sterling
contributions
from
the
city
of
Bellevue
parks
and
Community
Services
Department
Bellevue
fire
Bellevue
police,
Bellevue
Transportation,
who
help
the
thousands
of
people
get
out
at
the
end
of
the
night
and
another
star
of
the
show
that
I
don't
want
to
be
have
overlooked.
Is
the
Bellevue
downtown
park
itself,
which
is
a
legacy,
a
rich
Legacy
from
Bellevue
residents,
taxpayers
and
businesses
that
gave
us
this
fantastic
public
outdoor
space
in
which
we
can
celebrate
and
bring
the
community
together
in
such
a
spirited
fashion?
R
So
the
Bellevue
family,
fourth,
is
is
really
much
more
than
just
a
simple
patriotic
celebration:
it's
a
reflection
of
bellevue's,
extraordinary
Spirit
of
unity
and
community,
so
on
behalf
of
the
BDA
board,
our
membership
and
our
team.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
again
for
your
support
of
this
Grand
tradition.
O
Q
So
you
know
I'm
told
it's
an
improv:
it's
not
a
perfect
science,
but
somewhere
around
that
50
000
I
think
is
the
number
okay
and.
P
P
As
all
of
you
know,
one
of
the
council's
new
significant
investments
in
the
current
budget
is
funding
for
supplement
on
Specialized
services
to
respond
to
people
in
Mental
Health
crisis.
As
an
alternative
to
traditional
policing.
Building
on
years
of
success
of
the
fires
cares
program.
The
community
crisis
team
is
now
becoming
a
reality.
This
item,
my
last
update,
was
provided
to
you
in
January
this
year.
P
S
S
Since
the
last
time
we
had
a
chance
to
brief
you,
which
my
record
show,
was
February
27th
and
talk
about
three
things:
Staffing
and
hiring
training
and
program
implementation
with
that
I'd
like
to
turn
it
over
to
Major
Alicia
McKinney,
to
talk
about
some
Police
Department
activities.
T
Thank
you,
Chief
Hagan,
mayor
deputy
mayor
council
members.
Thank
you
so
much
for
allowing
us
to
come
provide
this
update.
The
police
department
is
very,
very
excited.
We've
carefully
hand
selected
one
new
sergeant
and
five
new
officers
for
our
ccat
team.
We
believe
that
these
officers
are
a
perfect
fit
and
an
excellent
fit
for
the
ccat
team
and
our
community
at
large,
and
this
team
will
start
training
on
July
16th
so
very
soon.
T
Further
Bellevue
fires
cares
program
manager,
Natasha,
Grossman
and
I
attended
the
co-responder
conference
that
was
held
back
in
June,
and
we
presented
on
our
CCAP
program
at
that
conference.
Not
only
that
week
leaned
additional
information
from
Across
the
Nation
on
co-responder
programs,
so
that
we
can
improve
and
build
upon
our
program.
So
we're
very
excited
to
get
this
started
and
I
will
turn
it
back
over
to
Chief
Hagen.
S
Major,
the
CCAP
budget
included
nine
new
positions
in
the
fire
department
to
staff
the
ccat
units
and
also
provide
case
management
follow-up.
These
new
positions
included
two
supervisors,
a
case
management,
specialist,
five
mhps
to
partner
with
the
officers
to
staff,
those
ccat
units
and
an
admin.
As
many
of
you
probably
know,
there
has
been
an
increased
demand
for
mental
health
professionals
since
the
pandemic,
which
has
made
hiring
in
this
field
a
challenge
across
King
County.
S
In
spite
of
this
I'm
happy
to
report
that
we've
had
some
Stellar
applicants
that
we've
hired
many
of
whom
are
sitting
behind
in
the
audience
tonight
and
thank
them
for
their
attendance
this
evening,
including
some
that
are
actually
former,
cares
practicum
students.
So
they
are
rejoining
our
program,
we're
over
75
percent
staffed
and
we're
still
actively
recruiting.
As
of
July
1st,
all
of
our
new
hires
are
on
board
and
have
begun
riding
along
with
cares
one
in
preparation
for
B
for
joining
their
police
officer
counterparts
in
that
training
on
July
16th.
S
A
Cornerstone
of
our
program
philosophy
is
that
the
ccat
officers
and
mhps
will
train
together
side
by
side
for
a
period
of
about
six
weeks.
We
have
over
11
topics
and
skills
in
which
the
team
will
be
trained
and
just
a
brief
sampling
would
include
crisis,
de-escalation
skills,
suicide,
risk
assessment
and
safety
tactics.
S
As
major
McKinney
mentioned,
the
training
is
going
to
commence
next
week
and
begin
through
the
month
of
August,
and
you
know
that
education,
of
course,
will
continue,
but
we're
really
happy
to
let
you
know
that
we
plan
on
implementing
this
capability
and
our
community
September
1st
with
staggered,
starts
that
week,
which
is
how
we
sort
of
onboard
that
capability
so
again.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
support
of
this
program.
We've
been
hard
at
it
and
we're
really
excited
to
be
pairing.
S
D
S
Okay,
yep
I
know
that
HR
supports
us
and
our
city
of
Bellevue
website
and
there's
a
tab
for
hiring
and
we
are
you
have
crisis
response,
social
workers,
the
the
tagline
we're
looking
for
there
and
we're
happy
to
take
all
interests.
Thank
you.
Deputy
Mayor,
great.
C
P
The
manager
report
this
evening
is
a
brief
summary
of
the
city's
recent
Federal
advocacy
trip
to
Washington
DC
Genesee
Atkins
chief
of
external
Affairs,
will
provide
a
high
level
synopsis
of
the
visit
which
included
the
deputy
mayor
as
well
as
our
federal
consultant
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
you.
Genesee.
U
Thank
you
so
much
good
evening,
mayor
Deputy,
Mayor
and
council
members.
I
just
wanted
to
provide
a
quick
postage
stamp
synopsis
of
our
trip
to
Washington
DC.
One
of
our
Council
priorities,
of
course,
is
regional
leadership
and
influence,
and
so
we
wanted
to
come
back
and
give
a
little
bit
of
an
update
on
what
we
feel
is
an
important
marker
along
our
successful
execution
of
that
priority.
U
You
all
worked
with
us
during
May
and
June
to
develop
a
set
of
2023-2024
federal
priorities
which
you
adopted
on
June
12th.
We
have
this
new
handsome
graphically
designed
version
that
I'll
make
sure
is
in
all
of
your
inboxes
this
evening,
share
with
all
your
fans
and
friends,
and
so
that
was
a
lot
of
that
was
one
of
the
top
objectives
of
making
this
very
efficient
two
and
a
half
day.
U
Little
trip
was
to
make
sure
that
we
could
share
this
to,
because
this
is
a
little
bit
of
a
road
map
of
what
is
in
front
of
our
Congressional
Delegation
and
federal
agencies
both
today
and
tomorrow.
We
wanted
to
really
make
it
clear
what
bellevue's
priorities
are
and
where
we're
asking
them
for
their
partnership
and
assistance.
We
were
able
to
schedule
meetings
with
all
of
our
delegation
offices,
both
house
members,
both
senators
and
a
lot
of
the
objective.
There
was
also
to
bolster
our
current
and
upcoming
grants
and
earmark
requests.
U
We
have
several
earmark
requests
that
are
currently
moving
forward,
which
is
very
exciting.
You
just
got
an
update
on
the
ccat
program,
which,
of
course,
we
got
pilot
funding
from
Senator
Cantwell
for
two
cycles
ago,
and
so
this
can
really
lead
to
great
things,
and
so
we're
really
excited
about
these
opportunities
and
making
the
most
of
them,
and
we
also
gave
we
gave
some
additional
support
and
updates
on
a
number
of
pending
grants,
as
well
as
the
one
we
submitted
today,
which
is
our
be
safe.
U
They're
interested
in
visiting
with
us
and
again
getting
out
on
the
ground
with
us
to
see
some
of
the
things
that
are
highlighted
in
here,
how
they
can
help
where
they're
at
you
know
how
far
away
they
are
and
who
our
partners
are.
So
we're
very
excited
about
building
and
strengthening
this
as
an
ongoing
relationship
with
our
delegation
to
help
them
see
how
the
federal
dollars
and
federal
policy
they
put
in
place
really
comes
to
life
here
at
the
community
level
and
then
ask
for
their
support
at
appropriate
times
to
leverage
those
funds.
U
So
just
wanted
to
give
you
a
quick
little
update.
We
really
appreciated
the
deputy
mayor
making
the
time
to
join
us.
This
is
something
we
hope
to
do
on
a
regular
basis
when
we
have
a
refreshed
set
of
federal
priorities,
to
really
make
sure
that
we're
keeping
everything
very
current
and
being
a
good
partner
to
them.
So
thank
you.
A
Great,
thank
you
very
much
is
that
it
city
manager,
okay,
so
under
the
council,
business
I
wanted
to
just
mention
about
the
opening
of
Plymouth
Crossing.
Today,
council,
member
Zan
and
I
were
there
today
and
council
members
on.
Would
you
like
to
talk
about
that
briefly.
V
V
A
D
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mayor
well,
I
think
Genesee
covered
it
quite
nicely,
and
I
really
applaud
staff
for
being
so
incredibly
organized
as
they
always
are,
but
especially
on
this
trip
and
they're
working
very
closely
with
our
federal
lobbyists,
with
Nina
and
Tony,
and
making
all
the
appoint
appointments.
And
just
it
was
just
great
to
hear
how
much
interest
there
were
in
in
in
Bellevue.
Our
federal
priorities
really
resonated,
and
we
had
a
great
opportunity
just
to
get
that
as
Genesee
alluded
to
that.
D
Cadence
of
that
drum
beat
that
we
really
want
to
ensure
going
forward
that
we
are
going
to
really
prioritize
what
is
important
to
to
embell
be
what
we
want
to
work
on,
how
we
want
to
partner
on
what
kinds
of
projects
we
want
to
partner
on
and
then
really
just
underline,
are
the
the
earmarks
and
the
grants
that
were
very
much
interested
in.
D
But
it
was
a
very
successful
trip
on
on
all
levels
and
look
forward
to
further
reports
on
some
of
the
results
of
that,
but
a
lot
of
kudos
to
staff
for
putting
in
all
the
hard
work
to
make
that
trip
successful,
because
it
took
a
lot
longer
than
the
two
and
a
half
days
and
we
that
we
spent
there.
So
that
was
it
mayor.
Thank
you.
A
Those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
imposed.
Okay,
we
have
a
public
hearing
tonight
and
I'm
going
to
let
the
city
manager
introduce
this,
but
it's
on
one
portion
of
what
we're
covering
tonight
so
I'll.
Let
you.
P
That
that
is
correct.
Thank
you.
As
you
mentioned,
we
have
a
public
hearing
tonight
on
a
proposed
Transportation
benefit
district
and
just
by
way
of
background,
this
topic
was
introduced
to
Council
in
a
study
session
on
June
12th.
At
that
study
session,
the
staff
proposed
the
transportation
benefit
District
as
a
tool
to
restore
funding
for
transportation
maintenance
that
was
reduced
as
a
result
of
budget
impacts
from
the
covid-19
pandemic,
as
well
as
to
support
ongoing
Transportation
program
investments
in
the
future.
The
first
step
is
what
you're
alluding
to
Mayor
is
creating
the
transportation
benefit
district.
P
There
are
multiple
steps
in
this
process,
considering
to
consider
the
funding
mechanism
that
would
come
later
in
the
process.
The
purpose
of
the
public
hearing
tonight
is
to
receive
input
on
the
formation
of
that
District.
After
a
brief
step
presentation,
we'll
turn
it
back
to
the
council
to
open
the
public
hearing
up
and
once
the
public
hearing
is
closed.
We
will
see
Council
the
direction
on
bringing
back,
possibly
an
ordinance
for
the
formation
of
a
benefit
district.
With
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
oh
Johnny.
P
Assisting
I
forgot
I
have
to
introduce
the
staff
Andrew
Cinco
Locus
far
right.
Transportation
director
to
his
left
is
Chris
Long
assistant
director
and
to
his
left
is
John
Risha
finance
and
asset
management
director
with
that
return
over
to
Andrew,
okay,.
W
Thank
you,
city
manager,
Miyaki,
mayor
Robinson,
Deputy,
Mayor,
new
in
house
and
city
council,
as
Brad
said
we're
here
tonight
to
talk
about
a
public
hearing
around
the
formation
of
a
transportation
benefit
district
and
I'm
here
with
John
Risha,
the
City
Finance
director
and
Chris
Long,
the
assistant
director
of
transportation
for
operations
next
slide
and
I
want
to
clarify
for
the
public
that
this
is
the
establishment
of
the
benefit
District.
W
It's
one
of
several
steps
in
a
long
process
assessing
a
sales
tax
or
a
vehicle
license
fee
the
amount
and
whether
that
amount
and
whether
or
not
it
goes
to
the
voters
or
all
decision
points
that
will
not
be
happening
at
this
time.
That
would
occur
later.
What
staff
is
requesting
is
that
you
hold
the
public
hearing
and
then
direct
staff
to
come
back
later,
with
an
ordinance
to
establish
the
district
and
with
that
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
Chris.
X
X
that
in
the
transportation
department,
that
cut
was
made
by
reducing
the
budget
and
maintenance.
In
order
to
maintain
some
of
our
other
programs,
we
had
that
was
resulted
in
a
20
reduction
in
maintenance.
We
referred
to
this
as
deferred
maintenance,
because
the
idea
was
that
we
would
eventually
be
able
to
get
that
budget
back
so
that
we
could
start
doing
the
things
that
we
had
to
cut.
X
Unfortunately,
due
to
other
City
priorities
that
deferred
maintenance
was
carried
through
into
23
and
24,
but
the
idea
of
the
benefit
District
was
born
in
that
process
and
we
are
bringing
that
back
today.
The
another
element
that
was
cut
in
21
and
22
was
budgeting
for
new
infrastructure
and
when
I
talk
about
new
infrastructure,
that's
every
device,
every
sign.
X
This
would
provide
a
dedicated
funding
source
for
us
to
continue
to
keep
up
with
that
growth
and
the
maintenance
need,
and
then
any
Revenue
that
was
collected,
Beyond,
what's
needed
for
maintenance
on
an
on
a
biannual
basis
through
the
budget
process,
would
be
allocated
to
other
tip,
Capital
programs
or
Transportation
Improvement
plans
that
include
programs
like
neighborhood
traffic
safety,
Vision,
zero,
neighborhood
sidewalks
that
these
were
all
presented
during
our
study
session.
So
with
that
John.
Y
Thank
you
tonight
before
your
public
hearing
is
the
formation
of
a
quasi
Municipal
Corporation,
a
separate
government.
If
you
will,
it
has
its
independent,
taxing
Authority
and
the
funding
that,
should
you
form
it
would
be
dedicated
solely
and
exclusively
for
transportation,
maintenance
and
improvements.
This
is
a
process
that
forms
that
separate
government.
This
the
state
legislature
has
provided
an
opportunity.
Should
you
form
it
to
actually
assume
that
District
so
that
you
could
act
in
your
normal
capacity
as
City
Council
Members,
to
take
action
on
that
District?
Y
It
does
require
annual
performance
and
financial
reporting
and
it
is
provided
for
an
RCW
3673.
There
are
currently
19
Transportation
benefit
districts
within
King
County.
Some
of
those
districts
have
formed
and
not
placed
any
funding
associated
with
them.
Some
of
them
formed
without
funding
and
came
back
within
one
to
three
years
and
made
a
decision
about
funding,
but
the
decision
to
form
that
provided
those
jurisdictions
with
that
opportunity
that
they
would
not
normally
have
available
as
a
city,
Revenue
source.
X
To
Chris
so
just
to
cover
one
of
the
comments
that
was
received
last
time
was
to
provide
a
little
more
background
on
what's
happening
with
our
Outreach.
We
have
started
that
process.
We've
had
two
briefings,
one
with
the
Bellevue
Chamber
of
Commerce
another
one
with
the
Bellevue
Downtown
Association.
Some
of
the
comments
and
questions
received
were
included
in
the
agenda
memo.
We
are
working
on
getting
messaging
out
to
community-based
organizations.
We
hope
to
reach
out
to
the
Bellevue
diversity
Advantage
Network
as
well,
and
as
noted
here,
our
website
was
launched.
X
So
we
have
a
lot
of
information
there.
We'll
continue
to
build
on
the
frequently
asked
questions
that
are
there
to
help
educate
what
about
the
need
and
how
a
transportation
benefit
district
is
formed
and
we
will
be
attending
some
local
events
where
we'll
have
a
table
set
up
and
we
can
engage
with
the
public
and
hear
where
they
see
maintenance
needs
where
they
see
needs
for
new
infrastructure
as
well.
X
We're
currently
at
that
second
dot,
where
the
public
hearing
we
are
recommending
or
asking
for
to
come
back
next
week
to
adopt
the
ordinance
for
the
formation
of
the
district
and
then
the
following
week
you'll
see
a
resolution
that
will
kick
off
the
next
step,
which
is
the
Assumption
process
that
result
and
then
we'll
have
another
public
Hearing
in
September
and
that's
what
the
resolution
is
to
set
the
date
for
that
public
hearing
once
the
resolution
Pro
assumption
process
is
done,
then
we'll
move
into
the
process
of
identifying
the
funding
with
that
again
we're
looking
for
the
council
to
hold
the
or
the
public
hearing
tonight.
A
Thank
you
very
much
so
with
that,
do
you
have
a
motion
to
open
a
public
appearance.
D
B
You
mayor,
there
are
four
pre-registered
speakers
on
the
list
this
evening
and
before
I
start
calling
those
names.
They
will
remind
the
council
that
we
did
publish
a
notice
of
this
public
Hearing
in
the
paper
of
General
circulation
and
the
council
did
receive
three
written
comments
which
were
included
in
your
desk
packet
this
evening
and
with
that
I
will
call
our
first
Speaker,
who
is
Matt
Jack
Mr
Jack.
Can
you
hear
me
I
can't
thank
you.
Your
time
begins
now.
Z
Z
We
will
stay
engaged
throughout
the
process,
as
you
evaluate
a
transportation
benefit,
District
TBD
as
a
possible
means
to
address
the
Deferred
maintenance
and
support
future
maintenance
projects
similar
to
the
presentations
that
were
made
just
moments
ago
and
to
organizations
in
the
community.
We
encourage
the
city
to
continue
its
Outreach
on
the.
Why?
How
and
what
behind,
forming
and
funding
a
district?
Z
Why
and
to
that
end.
I
just
want
to
list
a
few
questions
to
put
out
there
for
the
city
to
note
and
seek
to
clarify
as
we
move
throughout
this
process,
and
that
is
one
y
is
now
the
time
to
explore
the
TBD
as
a
funding
source
to.
Why
has
the
budget
prioritized
funds
to
build
future
projects
over
maintaining
existing
infrastructure?
Three?
How
will
the
TBD
complement
other
funding
sources
and
work
with
the
processes
like
the
biennial
budget
that
allow
that
allocates
resources
toward
Transportation
projects?
Z
Four,
what
are
the
direct
or
indirect
cost
of
a
new
tax
or
fee
both
for
both
households
and
development?
Most
commercial
and
residential
projects
pay
sales
tax
and
impact
fees
on
new
constructions
as
an
example
and
five.
What
would
be
the
spending
priorities
and
criteria
for
decision
making?
How
would
funds
and
projects
be
evaluated
and
prioritized
in
the
future?
Z
AA
Hike
good
evening,
Council
I
I
have
mixed
feelings
about
this.
I
wanted
to
say:
I
thought
that
Mr
Jack
from
the
BDA
made
some
really
good
points.
As
far
as
the
questions
that
he
asked,
I
also
wanted
to
point
out
that
the
Outreach
seems
to
have
been
solely
with
the
BDA
and
the
Chamber,
not
to
the
anybody
else.
If
you've
noticed
there's
four
of
us
neighborhood
wonks
here
in
the
audience
and
nobody
else,
because
nobody
else
knows
that
this
is
happening
which
I
find
a
little
bit
troublesome.
AA
You
know
my
kid
works
for
the
city
and
transportation.
Doing
these
projects
that
you're
talking
about
right
here
so
I,
don't
want
to
say
anything
that
would
jeopardize
his
future
job
opportunities
there.
But
I
do
have
concerns
about
at
what
point
this.
This
does
feel
a
little
bit,
sometimes
like
the
the
camel's
nose
under
Under.
AA
The
Tent
kind
of
opening
the
door
to
things
I
want
to
know
that
if
we
end
up
getting
taxed
more
and
more
and
more
that
that
money
is
going
to
be
used
wisely,
that
it's
that
there's
going
to
be
accountability
with
this
money,
because
it
seems
to
me
that
there's
a
lot
more
money,
that's
going
to
be
coming
in
than
it's
actually
needed.
I
was
looking
at
the
information
about
when
it
could
be
dissolved.
The
TBD
could
be
dissolved,
but
it
did
say
that
all
the
maintenance
was
ongoing.
AA
So
I
have
questions
about
that
and
I
I
would
really
hope
that
if
you
pass
something
like
this,
that
you
would
make
sure
that
there
are
Fail-Safe
since
and
stop
gaps
there
and
I
do
know
that
one
of
my
colleagues
back
there
has
better
questions
than
that,
but
it
does
feel
a
little
bit
weird
that
this
is.
It
feels
very
rushed.
It
feels
like
the
general
public
doesn't
know
anything
about
this,
and
this
is
just
yet
another
tax
for
them
to
pay.
And
that's
considering
to
me
thank
you.
AB
AB
AB
We
do
view
the
formation
of
the
TBD
and
the
tax
that
would
be
imposed
through
it
as
inextricably
linked
and
feel
it's
important
to
address
the
issue
of
funding,
including
the
city's
desired
funding
mechanism,
which
has
been
presented
in
deliberating
whether
the
TBD
is
necessary
to
form
first
and
foremost,
please
consider
the
higher
cost
of
living
and
heavy
tax
burden.
Families
are
experiencing
paying
dramatically
more
for
property,
gas,
groceries
and
other
family
needs
which
this
sales
tax
increase
would
add
to.
AB
Only
two
years
ago,
the
city
increased
the
sales
tax
rate
from
0.85
to
0.95
percent
for
affordable
housing.
Just
six
months
ago,
the
city
raised
at
the
no
tax
and
property
taxes
without
voter
approval,
Bellevue
voters
and
taxpayers
also
provided
the
transportation
department,
millions
in
Revenue
by
voting
through
the
transportation
Lobby
in
2016,
which
funded
a
specific
list
of
projects.
The
new
proposal
that
has
been
discussed
is
for
another
0.1
percent,
permanent
increase
in
the
city
sales
tax
rate,
without
a
public
vote
for
a
dedicated
funding
source
to
support
maintenance.
AB
Yet
none
of
the
projects
within
the
broad
Capital
program
are
clearly
defined.
Transportation
staff
indicate
the
creation
of
a
TBD
would
meet
tr-55,
maintain
and
enhance
safety
for
all
users
of
the
roadway
Network
NTR
56
ensure
that
maintenance
of
the
existing
transportation
system
be
given
priority
consideration
they
further
State.
The
annual
deferred
maintenance
need
is
3
million,
yet
the
proposed
tax
increase
would
generate
10
million
a
year
above
and
beyond.
What
is
needed
to
support
the
above
policy
objectives
on
an
annual
basis.
AB
Further
Bellevue
anticipates
collecting
a
record
high
of
221
million
in
sales
tax
revenue
for
the
2324
budget
cycle,
the
city
projects,
sales
tax
collection
will
grow
7.9
percent
this
year,
6.3
percent.
Next
year,
three
years,
Beyond
2024
the
city
says
sales
tax
is
forecasted
to
grow
by
an

Spending

a
defensible

the
high
sales

given
state

Transportation
needs

existing

tax
revenue
Council,
should
direct
staff
to
re-evaluate
this
proposal
and
determine
if
TBD
revenue
is
truly
needed
at
this
time.
If
council
is
to
move
forward
with
the
formation
of
the
dbtbd,
please
consider
directing
staff
to
create
a
specific
project
list
that
TBD
money
would
fund,
include
spending
limitations
and
submit
the
proposal
to
Bellevue
voters.
They
can
have
a

in
the
decision.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
consideration.

AC
Serious
Transportation
trouble
regarding
the
traffic
operations
at
our
arterio
street
system,
as
was
identified
in
the
deis
for
the
Wilburton
implementation
plan.
That
plan
identified
very
serious,
significant
environmental
impacts
for
all
Alternatives
that
were
identified,
including
the
do-nothing
alternative.
No
real
mitigation
strategies
were
identified
for
several
budget
Cycles.
Your
budget
survey
identified
traffic
is
the
most
important
issue
in
the
minds
of
your
voters.
Gridlock
traffic
is
in
the
face
of
Bellevue
residents,
and
new
planning
shows
it
getting
significantly
worse.
Over
time
now
comes
the
proposal
to
create
a
transportation
benefit.
AC
District
I
fundamentally
support
the
idea
of
new
revenues
to
improve
the
road
system
in
our
city.
There
is
a
discussion
of
a
need
for
new
money
for
to
backfill
the
funds
for
maintenance
of
our
streets,
and
that
would
be
a
good
thing.
However,
the
draft
ordinance
in
the
agenda
packet
requires
no
such
thing.
AC
This
has
all
the
earmarks
of
a
wide
open
slush
fund
for
staff
to
do
maintenance
and
any
other
thing
that
they
might
like
to
do.
Regarding
transportation,
I
will
remind
the
Council
of
the
unanimously
approved,
comprehensive
client
policy
tr2,
which
says
to
quote
aggressively,
expand,
Transportation
Investments
to
reduce
congestion
and
the
cool
and
do
other
good
things.
AC
AC
The
specific
needs
for
the
new
Revenue
B
be
very
specific
about
how
the
new
funds
are
to
be
allocated,
including
specific
projects
or
programs
with
proportional
allocations
for
the
funds
for
these
specific
projects
or
programs
and
C
require
the
imposition
of
new
tax
revenues
be
approved
by
the
voters.
I
believe
you
need
to
build
the
case
and
get
voter
buy-in.
I
think
Transportation
requires
it
yeah
and
thank
you
for
holding
this
public
hearing.
B
K
You
hello,
my
name
is
Nicole
Myers
I,
think
of
myself
as
very
much
a
pedestrian
and
cyclist.
So
the
idea
of
having
more
funds
for
more
active
modes
of
transportation,
I
think
is
very
important
and
I
think
that
this
is
probably
the
kind
of
thing
I
would
support
if
I
heard
about
it.
I
do
agree
with
the
previous
speakers
that
you
know
I
just
happen
to
look
at
the
council's
agenda
tonight.
I
feel
like
I.
K
Look
at
you
know
the
Bellevue
Community,
News
and
Neighborhood
News
I,
don't
know
where
I
missed
this
particular
thing,
since
it
does
seem
like
a
big
deal
and
it
does
seem
like
the
kind
of
thing
we
want
the
community
to
all
be
on
board
with
in
general,
I
support,
Vic,
Bishop's
points
and
I
think
this
is
probably
a
good
idea
for
Bellevue
I.
Think
it's
probably
in
keeping
with
our
high
standards
for
our
transportation
and
our
streets.
You
know
everyone
who
visits
Bellevue
says:
Bellevue
looks
amazing,
and
there
are
so
many.
K
You
know
as
someone
who
pushes
a
stroller
a
lot,
it's
so
nice
to
walk
around
Bellevue
and
I
appreciate
the
sidewalk
Network
I
appreciate
the
way
the
streets
are
kept
clean
as
a
cyclist
to
prevent
accidents,
because
I've
I've,
known
friends,
who've,
like
slid
out
on
leaves
so
I
think
there
is
a
lot
here.
That
would
be
good,
but
you
know
if
there
is
any
way
we
can
support
public
notice
for
things
like
this,
that
are
a
big
deal
and
could
meaningfully
impact
other
people.
I
hope
you
will
try
to
do
that.
B
F
Good
evening,
I'm
Craig
speasel
I
just
want
to
kind
of
echo
some
of
the
comments
that
Kemper
development
made
about
the
concern
about
the
tax
Vic
Bishops
as
well.
I
think
we're
very
in
agreement.
I
think
there's
a
few
points,
I
think
is
really
important.
It's
a
recurring
theme
is
the
lack
of
a
robust
public
engagement.
A
lot
of
these
programs.
I
looked
at
the
slides
that
were
presented
to
the
council
today
and
other
than
Downtown
Association
some
other
organizations.
There
was
no
Community
engagement,
but
another
thing,
I
think
is
really
important.
F
F
Even
though
I
know,
the
transportation
department
has
promoted
the
sales
tax
aspect,
but
to
reconsider
that
if
this
moves
forward
and
really
think
about
the
regressive
nature
and
how
it's
going
to
hurt
some
people
we're
continually
being
taxed,
we've
increased
levies
and
The
Beano
tax
and
all
these
areas
and
there's
only
so
much
that
taxpayers
can
pay.
So
thank
you
for
your
time
and
again,
I
encourage
you.
F
L
This
is
a
very
important
aspect
that
something
that's
really
come
up,
and
people
don't
understand
if
I
was
to
put
it
on
your
the
voting
and
saying
we're
going
to
be
able
to
raise
your
taxes
to
three
percent
people
would
freak
out.
You
know
we'd
tear
it
all
over
the
place,
but
because
it's
just
this
one
method-
and
it
hasn't
we're
having
one
meeting
here
and
one
meeting
there-
it's
it's
not
out
there
and
so
I
guess.
L
I
have
double
thoughts
about
this
too,
because
I
know
that
we
need,
and
we
need
money
to
do
these
things.
It
sounds
like
it's
a
short-term
problem,
so
that's
the
other
thing.
I,
don't
want
it
to
become
like
a
fun
that
we
just
always
go
to
in
the
future
when
we
don't
need
it.
So
what
is
causing
our
transportation
cost
now
to
be
up?
Is
it
only
because
of
covid
and
not
having
enough
Revenue?
Are
there
other
things
that
are
getting
in
the
way?
Are
we
getting
more
prob
more
more
needs
because
of
growth?
L
What
is
the
whole
stack
of
needs
that
we
have
here?
What
is
it?
That's
changed
other
than
the
kovic
funds.
That
makes
it
a
different
thing
that
we
need
to
have
another
tax
on
it,
because
we'd
like
to
try
to
keep
in
our
budget
the
best
we
can
I
know
having
a
sales
tax,
Andy
and.
L
Property
tax
are
both
things
that
really
have
hard
to
keep
steady
over
time,
and
so
anyway,
I
liked
I
think
it's
a
difficult
decision,
but
I
would
hope
that
you
could
ask
for
more
get
it
new
news
out
there
by
having
the
people
vote
on
it.
Thank
you.
AD
Hi
there
yes
I
just
saw
the
button.
Can
you
hear
me?
Okay?
Yes,
thank
you.
Your
time
begins
now
perfect.
Thank
you
so
much
good
evening
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
today.
My
name
is
Amber
theodorus
and
I'm.
The
new
co-executive
director
of
the
Coalition
ending
gender-based
violence
I
just
wanted
to
share
a
little
bit
about
our
work
at
the
Coalition,
since
we
support
programs
all
throughout
the
county,
including
programs
in
Bellevue
Excuse.
B
B
AD
B
AE
Council
members,
this
is
Leslie
Geller
I
live
in
Eastgate
and
I
happen
to
read
the
a
little
bit
of
the
packet
today.
I'm
still
cleaning
up
from
our
block
party
on
Saturday
I
had
heard
about
this,
but
I
didn't
really
know
what
it
was
and
I
wanted
to
go
on
record.
That
I
agree
with
so
many
of
the
prior
speakers
that,
yes,
we
do
need
that
backlog
of
Transportation
remediation
projects
to
get
done
and.
AE
It's
somehow
going
to
be
more
taxes,
however,
that
gets
done.
It's
like
money
out
of
the
Public's
Pockets
I
feel
fortunate.
That
I
had
a
good
career
and
managed
to
save
a
lot
of
money,
so
I
feel
less
impacted
than
some
other
members
of
the
community,
not
like
I'm
inviting
new
taxes
on
myself,
but
this
was
kind
of
a
surprise.
I
really
don't
understand
what
it's
about
and
I
didn't
have
time
to
read
up
on
it.
AE
AF
Oh
I
see
okay
I'm
on
track,
though,
that
that
that
wasn't
mentioned
also,
this
is
very,
very
disturbing.
Have
you
forgotten?
A
revolution
has
been
thought
I
just
put
in
text.
How
much
are
we
supposed
to
take,
and
not
only
it
is
not
limited.
They
just
wanted
to
go
on
and
on
so
I
mean
no
doubt
it
should
be
very
limited
in
scope
and
it
should
be
put
to
a
vote.
I
mean.
Where
are
we
going?
Are
we
going
to
20
tax
here
in
Bellevue?
AF
You
know
it's!
It's
too
much
you're
talking
about
affordable
housing.
How
are
people
who
are
lower
income
going
to
afford?
You
know
necessities
of
life
here
and
we
have
the
highest
gas
in
the
nation
where's
that
money
going?
What
are
those
taxes
you
know
like
I,
just
feel
it's
too
much
and
again,
a
lot
is
just
dumped
and
shoved
in
without
people
the
general
public
being
aware
of
it.
So
you
do
have
the
lovely
newsletter.
AF
AF
B
A
V
Yes,
thank
you.
Mayor
I,
really
appreciate
the
staff
presentation
on
this
and
all
of
the
comments
that
we've
heard
so
far
about
the
importance
of
making
sure
that,
as
we
look
into
the
the
formation,
the
Assumption
and
then
potential
funding
that
we're
getting
this
right,
because
I
think
that
we've
always
been
as
a
city
very
thoughtful
about
how
we
go
about
looking
at
any
time.
V
We
want
to
increase
funding
and
fees,
whether
it's
sales,
tax
or
car
tabs,
and
that
when
we
are
very
clear
about
the,
why
the
how
the
what
actually
it's
the?
What
are
the
things
who?
What?
Where?
When
and
why
of
things
that
then
we
are
a
good
Steward
of
our
finances
for
our
community.
So
for
me,
I
support
the
formation
of
a
TBD
as
another
tool
in
the
toolbox.
V
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
you
have
information
in
the
packet
about
all
the
cities
that
have
won
the
ones
that
form
one
and
never
actually
did
the
step
with
funding,
because
at
the
end
of
the
day,
it
was
a
tool
that
was
in
their
toolbox,
but
they
didn't
feel
the
need
to
pull
it
out
and
use
it.
And
then
what
I
would
say
is
that,
in
addition
to
that,
we
clearly
heard
from
the
community
that,
as
we
have
more
discussions,
that
public
engagement
absolutely
has
to
happen
so
that
we
really
are
able
to
talk
through.
V
What
exactly
are
we
talking
about?
Why
are
we
doing
it?
What
are
the
projects
or
the
the
maintenance
pieces
that
we're
talking
about
so
that,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we're
going
into
this
eyes
wide
open
and
that
there
isn't
ambiguity
about
what
this
is
and
what
we're
trying
to
do
so.
I
look
forward
to
this
appears
to
be
step.
One
of
a
process
of
many
steps
and
I
would
say
that
this
is
definitely
one
where
we
need
to
go
slow
so
that
we
really
understand
what
those
pieces
are
and
not
jump
over
steps.
AG
This
is
a
very,
very
important
topic
for
me.
As
you
know,
I'm
very
physically,
responsible
and
I.
Think
that's
important
and
you
know
we
heard
compliment
to
the
staff.
I
mean
it's
not
you
guys
and
you
guys
are
great
warriors.
You
know
how
to
fight
a
war,
but
this
is
the
same
thing
as
War
versus
a
battle.
Oh,
you
know
you
can
have
way
many
awards.
You
can
find
many
awards,
but
you
may
lose
the
battle.
AG
All
we're
doing
is
we're
fighting
Wars
because
we
need
something
so
I
supported
the
you
know:
TV
the
tax
benefit.
Tbd
I
do
because
when
you
present
it
to
us,
we
all
realize
that
the
council,
we
need
money
because
of
covert
because
situations
but
I
believe
that,
maybe
more
than
that,
because
we
were
not
able
to
prioritize
because
there's
so
many
competing
interests,
which
is
something
out
of
our
hand.
You
know
we
have
police,
Public,
Safety
John
just
come
to
join
us.
You
know
the
assets
we're
talking
about.
AG
It's
amazing
how
much
we
have
to
deal
with
so
it's
out
of
hands.
However,
we
cannot
just
jump
from
war
to
war
without
having
the
big
picture,
which
is
the
taxes
are
killing
us.
We
heard
the
public
so
passionately
saying
we
are
real
people
living
out
there.
You
know
it
doesn't
matter
how
rich
or
poor
you
are,
especially
if
we
are
compassionate
about
poor
people.
How
are
you
going
to
handle
all
the
taxes?
AG
You
know
who's
going
to
pay
their
fee
who's,
going
to
pay
the
taxes,
we'll
all
be
poor
eventually,
if
we
cannot
afford
to
keep
up
so
we
get.
We
cannot
just
say
well,
let's
take
the
money
and
we
need
to
know
exactly
what
we're
doing
with
our
money
expenditure
so
important.
How
are
we
spending
your
money?
It's
easy
to
raise
money,
or,
if
you
do,
is
the
council
vote
four
to
three
tax
goes
up.
Does
the
same
thing
state?
Does
the
same
thing
federal
government,
the
same
thing?
AG
It's
not
that
hard,
especially
people
doing
very
consulted
as
people
don't
even
know
about
it,
because
we
cannot
do
that.
We
cannot
talk
that
150
000
people,
you
know,
so
we
have
to
be
responsible
to
be
responsible.
Is
we
need
to
make
sure
we
have
provisions
and
I
supported
the
purpose,
intent
of
getting
money
to
do
those
things?
Yeah?
It's
fine,
but
it's
short-term
problem
we're
facing
at
least
that's
what
we
heard.
I
heard
that
short-term
problems,
because
the
last
few
years,
but
at
the
same
time
our
budget
has
gone
up.
AG
AG
Okay,
because
if
we
don't
do
that,
we're
not
sustain
it
eventually,
people
are
gonna
have
money
to
do
it.
So
we
heard
that
we,
you
know
the
state
park.
People
are
in
the
city
of
Washington
concerned
about
state
income
tax.
You
know
every
time
you
mentioned
about
raising
tax
people
go
crazy,
so
people
don't
know
that
people
think
wow.
We're
just
doing
fix
this
and
fix
that,
but
we
cannot
do
that.
So
I
really
believe
to
do
this
right.
AG
AG
A
Okay,
Deputy
Mayor,
followed
by
councilmember
Stokes.
D
Thank
you,
mayor
yeah
I
applaud
staff
ringing.
This
forward,
I
think
it's
as
as
you
shared
with
us
previously,
a
way
to
raise
additional
Revenue
for
the
Deferred
maintenance
during
covid,
especially
but
and
and
most
likely
I
would
think
that
one
of
the
biggest
reasons
to
doing
this
is
that
the
the
more
that
we
can
maintain
our
city-wide
infrastructure
probably
end
up.
You
know,
saving
us
money
in
the
long
run
versus
only
maintaining
it
or
replacing
it.
D
But
you
know
this.
This
conversation
also,
then
think
you
start
thinking
about
what
other
possibilities,
or
what
else
can
we
do
as
well
to
to
look
at
this
shortfall?
But
I
I
really
appreciate
all
the
comments
this
evening
from
from
residents
and
businesses
alike.
I
think
the
the
other
thing
that
we
have
to
consider
here
is
that
next
year,
the
year
after
that,
our
expenses
at
this
city
will
outpace
our
Revenue,
so
I
I,
don't
think
this
is
a
short-term
situation.
D
I
think
we're
going
to
be
impacted,
even
even
with
revenues
coming
back
post,
covid
I
still
think
this
is
going
to
be
an
ongoing
issue
for
for
for
for
many
years,
so
I
think
having
something
like
this
in
our
back
pocket
could
help
us
again:
long-term
saving
us
money
by
addressing
maintenance,
Now
versus
waiting
and
waiting
and
waiting,
not
to
mention
just
the
sheer
you
know,
issues
that
it
might
create
in
the
short
term
in
terms
of
Mobility
or
just
you
know
how
our
city
looks.
D
Having
said
that,
I
think
that
you
know
when
we
first
looked
at
raising
the
b
o
taxes.
One
of
the
first
things
that
we
did
was
what
we
went
all
to
all
the
major
companies,
all
the
major
businesses
and
in
in
in
Bellevue
I
think
that
we
should
take
a
bit
of
a
similar
approach
here.
I
think
we
still
need
buy-in
from
residents
of
this
which
to
make
we
have
clearly
heard
so
I.
D
So
I
would,
as
as
and
I
feel
like
a
broken
record,
because
the
city
manager
has
heard
me
talk
about
this
many
times,
but
for
for
me,
in
order
to
get
to
as
many
residents
as
possible
would
be
the
neighborhood
associations
reach
out
to
them
directly
set
up
meetings,
because
I
think
a
lot
of
them
will
understand
why
we
have
this
need
why
it's
important
to
do
and
I
think
once
they
fully
understand
what
that
need
is
I,
think
they'll
get
behind
it.
D
But
at
this
point
right
now,
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
confusion
and
that's
not
necessarily
you
know
anyone's
at
fault.
It's
just
it.
Just
I
think
this
is
a
little
bit
more
time
that
needs
to
be
spent
just
just
reaching
out
to
the
residents.
I
think
we're
clearly
hearing
that,
but
again
I've
mentioned
this
before
I.
Just
think
it
should
be
part
of
our
ongoing
process
that
neighborhood
associations
that
we
have
in
this
city
are
one
of
the
strongest
levers
that
we
can
pull
to
get
out.
D
Information
and
I
think
we
need
to
make
use
of
them
a
little
bit
more
I
know
we
have
our
our
newspaper
and
and
we've
and
and
we
can
ask
people
to
sign
up
for
email
alerts,
etc,
etc,
but
too
often
still
I,
think
people
are
being
surprised
by
and
not
just
I'm.
D
Just
not
talking
about
this
I'm
talking
about
this
in
general
terms,
we
just
still
need
to
improve
some
of
our
communication
to
our
residents
and
and
that's
not
directed
to
anybody-
that's
just
ongoing
Improvement
as
a
city
to
make
sure
that
everyone
just
understands
what's
happening
and
how
it
can
impact
them.
So
those
are
my
thoughts
and
look
forward
to
hearing
more
from
my
colleagues.
Thank
you.
AH
Yeah
I
appreciate
the
deputy
mayor's
comments
on
this
and
I
think
we're.
This
is
a
resolution
for
some
issues.
We
have
on
getting
things
done
for
the
community,
for
the
city
for
transportation
and
when
we
look
at
this
we're
talking
about
things
that
people
are
concerned
about,
they
want
to
have
streets,
they
want
to
have
them
safe,
they
want
to
have
they
don't
want
potholes,
they
won't
ever
all
these
other
things.
We're
doing
that,
and
it's
just
the
and
and
the
growth
has
been
tremendous
here
and
we're.
AH
You
know
working
to
enhance
the
neighborhoods
when
we
go
in
and
put
in
New
Roads
and
put
in
these
tough
things
we
need,
you
have
to
pay
money
for
them,
and
our
tax
system
is
not
a
very
friendly
one
for
people
who
really
can't
afford
very
much.
So
it's
a
difficult
thing
we're
in
to
that
extent,
but
these
are-
and
this
is
not
something
that
is
we're
setting
out
to
do
X
number
of
dollars
every
year.
At
this
point,
it's
a
mechanism
to
have
funding
when
we
need
it
to
do
things.
AH
We
have
to
catch
up
on
some
things,
but
we
also
hear
from
neighborhood
associations
and
individuals
about.
Why
haven't
you
done
something
to
my
street?
Why
haven't
you
done
this?
Why
don't
you
have
ever
signage?
Why
don't
you
have
better
lights
and
all
so
it's
it's
not
things
that
we're
doing
that's
frivolous
or
not
needed.
AH
These
are
things
we
really
need
and
particularly
as
the
city
grows,
but
the
issue
is:
how
do
we
do
it
responsibly
in
this
apparently-
and
you
know
we're
all
learning
about
this
because
we
haven't
done
this,
but
the
the
TBD
is
a
mechanism
to
do
this
in
a
way.
That's
really
more
responsible
and
more
directed
so
I
think
and
yes,
we
need
to
get
out
and
talk
to
people.
AH
We
have
150
000
people
we
get
maybe
five
or
six
or
seven
people
who
come
down
and
talk
to
us
about
this
and-
and
that
is
very
helpful,
I
wish
we
could
get
more
people
to
directly,
but
the
fact
the
matter
is
people
do
hear
this,
but
they
they
only
it's
just
complicated.
You
know
that
I
agree.
AH
We
need
to
do
more
Outreach
and
we're
not
setting
this
up
so
that
we're
saying
we're
going
to
do
this
and
we're
going
to
tax
this
amount
and,
put
you
know,
like
10
million
dollars
next
year,
we're
looking
at
how
we
how
we
do
this
in
a
responsible
way.
It's
my
understanding
of
this
and
I
think
it's
it's
just
to
give
us
another
two
and
it's
been
used
by
a
lot
of
cities.
This
isn't
something
we've
invented
We've
looked
at
this
very
carefully
and
it's
a
very
good
mechanism.
AH
In
fact,
my
understanding
is
in
some
ways.
It
helps
gives
us
a
better
handle
over
spending
and
utilization
of
funding
to
do
it
this
way
and
something
that
gets
us
that
we
we
can
have
a
better
handle
on
how
what
we
need
to
do
to
keep
the
the
system
going
better.
Is
that
what
your
understanding
is
I'm
feeling
about
this,
because
there's
a
there's
a
benefit
for
doing
this
that
helps
us
as
a
city
and
I
think
that's
what's
important.
AH
A
W
This,
as
opposed
to
any
other,
the
first
part,
is
really
the
maintenance
shortfall
that
we're
in
deferred
maintenance.
If
we
don't,
if
we
continue
that
it'll
just
grow
and
keep
growing,
so
there's
there's
a
need
now,
if
that
doesn't,
if
that
doesn't
happen,
you
know
sometime
soon,
people
are
really
going
to
start
noticing
some
real
differences
and
with
regard
to
the
programmatic
CIP
items
that
we're
talking
about
which
address
maintenance,
we've
got
lists
that
you
wouldn't
believe
of
needs
that
have
been
out
there
for
a
long
time.
W
A
AI
I
was
just
going
to
say,
you
know,
I
support,
moving
forward
with
the
formation
I
think
this
is
a
stepwise
approach
intentionally
to
address
the
very
questions
that
we're
hearing
so
I
think
the
legislature
thought
about
that
and
thought
about
the
need
to
make
sure
that
there
was
input
on
every
step
of
the
way.
So
in
terms
of
the
formation
I
hear
all
the
questions
about
funding
and
how,
like
things,
are
going
to
get
fun
to
wear
them.
A
AC
D
D
You
so.
D
A
C
Y
And
while
that
timeline
is
coming
up,
there
are
multiple
bites.
The
first
is
the
formation
right.
The
second
is
the
Assumption
of
the
district
into
the
city,
so
that
you
could
act
as
a
city
council
instead
of
a
separate
district,
and
then
you
would
Define
how
you
would
look
at
appropriation,
identification
and
appropriation
of
any
funds
which
could
be
via
a
normal
budget
process
where
you're
acting
in
that
regular
function.
Okay,.
AG
AG
D
AG
A
A
Okay,
so
Mr
Miyake
very
excited
for
this
next
study
session
item
we
have
do
we
have
one
or
two.
P
Yes,
Marinette.
Thank
you
for
teeing
that
up
it's
an
informational
presentation
tonight
on
King
County's,
proposed
veterans,
seniors
and
Human
Services
Levy
renewal,
and
just
by
way
background,
this
Levy
will
appear
on
the
August
1st
ballot.
Tonight's
presentation
is
informational.
Only
and
Council
Lynn
will
have
a
chance
to
ask
questions.
Once
we
hear
a
presentation
joining
us
at
the
table
are
Lacy
Jane
Wolf,
our
assistant
director
of
intergovernment
relationship
who's
sitting
in
the
middle
to
her
left
is
Helena.
AJ
Thank
you
very
much
good
evening,
I'm
going
to
go
through
these
slides,
relatively
quick
and
then
I'll
try
to
afford
the
maximum
time
for
a
q
a
so
the
veteran
seniors
and
Human
Services
Levy
is
on
the
ballot
and
at
the
executive
and
Council
adopted
to
renew
the
vshsl
at
a
10
cent
rate,
which
is
what
it
currently
is
on
the
ballot
or
excuse
me
what
it
it's,
what
the
it
is
currently
in
this
iteration
of
the
levy
through
the
property
taxes
we
project
right
now
that
we'll
achieve
additional
Revenue
somewhere
in
the
neighborhood
of
200
million
dollars,
which
is
564
million
dollars.
AJ
This
is
a
bit
of
a
moving
Target
for
us,
as
we
continue
to
get
property
tax
adjustments
assessments
over
the
next
few
months.
AJ
Do
you
see,
in
the
lower
right
hand,
corner
the
current
breakdown
of
the
veteran
seniors
and
Human
Services
Levy
in
terms
of
funding
buckets
so
to
date?
Right
now,
the
levy
is
currently
structured
in
three
funding,
buckets
which
we
Define
as
populations,
seniors
veterans
and
resilient
communities.
What's
currently
before
you
on
the
ballot
or
August
1st
on
the
ballot
will
be
the
addition
of
a
new
10
percent
area
that
10
percent
is
regional
impact
initiatives,
and
we
put
this
in
in
part
due
to
community
feedback.
AJ
So
talking
briefly
about
the
populations
veterans,
I'm
I'm,
a
veteran
myself
and
one
of
the
things
that
Prides
me
about
veteran
service
members
and
their
families-
is
it's
a
very
inclusive
definition
compared
to
what
you
see
on
the
federal
side.
So
through
the
vshso
we
Define
a
veteran
as
one
day
of
service
in
the
armed
forces,
so
once
One
Day
of
Service,
regardless
of
discharge
status,
you
and
your
family
can
qualify
for
these
resources,
older
adults
and
their
caregivers.
AJ
The
different
definition
change
there
or
not
change,
but
difference
from
what
you
typically
see
is
55
and
older
is
how
we
classify
veterans
and
then
other
resilient
communities.
Is
the
Human
Services,
the
broad
Human
Services
that
you
get
from
the
title,
so
veterans,
seniors
and
then
Human
Services.
The
resilient
communities
is
more
of
the
Catch
net
for
all
of
the
other
Human
Services
that
the
levy
offers
to
the
right
of
that.
AJ
You
see
the
result
areas
that
all
of
our
strategies
are
captured
in,
and
the
important
highlight
is
also
that,
as
the
city
manager
stated,
August
1st
is
when
this
hits
the
ballot,
and
this
will
be
the
fourth
time
that
the
levy
has
gone
to
the
ballot.
The
previous
three
times
it's
been
passed
and
in
this
last
iteration
of
the
levy
passing,
is
when
seniors
was
included
into
the
expansion
of
the
levy.
AJ
AJ
As
we
guide
through
the
next
couple
slides,
this
is
just
going
to
share
some
of
the
highlights
of
this
Levy.
One
of
the
things
I
want
to
point
out
is
in
this
Levy.
As
we
talked
about
all
of
those
contracted
Partners,
one-third
of
those
are
small
organizations
that
small
organization
is
less
than
20
staff,
less
than
a
four
million
dollar
budget
of
those
small
organizations.
AJ
Greater
than
50
percent
of
them
needed
to
get
technical
assistance
in
order
to
apply
one
of
the
things
that
we
found
is
that
many
small
organizations
didn't
have
the
staff.
The
experience
to
write
the
applications
respond
to
the
rfps
to
be
competitive
for
our
procurements,
and
so
we
were
very
intentional
about
setting
up
technical
assistance
to
enable
small
organizations
Grassroots
organizations
that
are
closest
to
where
the
need
is
that
are
directly
responsive
to
our
community
to
be
able
to
be
competitive,
and
we
saw
great
success
in
that.
AJ
Additionally,
what
I
want
to
highlight
is
that,
as
we
do,
our
rfps
one
of
the
things
that
we
ask
for
from
our
partners
is:
where
are
you
going
to
serve?
Where
are
you
geographically
showing
up,
and
so,
as
we
look
across
the
totality
of
the
programs
we
have
through
the
vshso
75
of
those
programs
provide
county-wide
services.
AJ
The
next
couple
slides
highlight
our
results-based
accountability,
so
I
know,
accountability
comes
up
a
lot,
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
try
to
intentionally
do
is
through
a
performance
measurement
and
evaluation
team
that
we
have
make
sure
that
we
are
creating
performance
plans
for
most
of
our
contracts
and
then
also
have
meaningful
engagement
through
our
contract
managers
with
all
of
our
partners,
and
that
engagement
can
happen.
Monthly
can
happen
quarterly.
It
varies
depending
on
size
of
contract
and
and
frankly
need
for
engagement.
AJ
One
of
the
things
that
we've
learned
over
the
years
is
in
the
results-based
accountability.
It's
not
just
about
providing
the
service
to
a
person
and
having
a
case
manager
say
success.
We
did
the
thing,
but
it's
also
when
that
person
walks
out
of
the
office
or
from
whatever
place,
where
they're
receiving
those
Direct
Services
do.
They
feel
like
they
gained
the
thing
that
they
need
to
thrive
to
be
successful,
and
so
for
us,
it's
engaging
with
the
community.
Getting
that
feedback
to
say
did
we
hit
the
mark?
AJ
AJ
When
we
talk
Community
engagement
as
far
as
this
Levy
and
then
implementation
planning,
which
is
where
we're
at
right
now
the
slide
before
you
reflects
a
lot
of
the
community
engagement
we've
done
over
the
past
few
months,
we
really
went
out
to
the
community
because
we
wanted
to
hear:
where
did
we
get
it
right
and
where
did
we
get
it
wrong?
We
wanted
to
get
feedback
on
what
the
next
Levy
could
potentially
look
like
if
renewed,
and
so
this
just
illustrates
all
the
different
engagements.
My
team
and
I
showed
up
in
the
various
fashions.
AJ
Yeah,
so
it
was
very
exciting
to
hear
Plymouth
Crossing
discussed
earlier,
so
that
is
something
that
some
veteran
seniors
and
Human
Services
Levy
funding
contributed
to
there's
the
congregation
for
the
homeless,
shelter.
That's
right
across
from
that
that
received
a
system,
substantial
amount
of
Levy
funding
as
well,
and
then
there's
a
woman
in
family,
shelter,
I
think
that's
in
Kirkland
that
received
a
substantial
amount
of
Levy
funding
and
there's.
AJ
No,
my
team
tells
me
is
the
only
like
family
shelter
on
the
east
side,
and
so
one
of
the
things
that
we
look
for
in
the
levy
and
that
I
think
is
one
of
the
pillars
of
the
levy
is
being
the
system
connector
understanding
where
we
have
gaps
and
working
to
fill
those
gaps,
partnering
with
the
local
state
and
federal
Federal
resources
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
truly
interconnected
system
in
that
respect,
and
a
example
of
that
which
we'll
talk
about
here
a
little
bit
later,
but
is
the
reducing
veterans
homelessness
by
40?
AJ
That
was
truly
a
community
effort
and
we
had
a
first
in
the
nation
veterans
pilot
called
collaborative
case
management
which
directly
contributed
to
that.
Another
thing
we'll
talk
about
later
is
expanding
our
investment
in
the
Human
Service
Workforce,
one
of
the
Lessons
Learned.
We
we
saw
this
Levy
is
that,
especially
due
to
the
pandemic,
there
was
a
a
retention
problem
in
our
Human
Service
Workforce,
the
wage
inequity
there
for
the
what
we're
expecting
of
that
Workforce
wasn't
comparable
and
we
needed.
AJ
We
need
to
course
correct,
and
so
that
is
highlighting
our
very
intentional
focus
on
beginning
to
write
that
ship
in
the
future.
AJ
So
I'm
gonna
go
out
and
just
say
that
we
have
the
best
veterans
program
in
the
country.
County
run
veterans
program
in
the
country,
I
think
the
examples
of
that
that
I
was
just
talking
about
the
collaborative
case
management.
We
started
that
that
was
a
a
program
that
we
partnered
with
the
King
County
Housing
Authority.
We
partnered
with
the
federal
VA
the
secretary
of
the
VA,
had
to
sign
off
on
it
and
where
we
have
housing
vouchers
that
we
are
responsible
for
and
we've
directly
served.
AJ
The
community
with
one
of
the
team
members
was
telling
me
a
story
about
a
woman
veteran
with
her
two
kids
that
were
living
in
a
car.
They
had
been
living
in
their
car
for
a
month.
They
didn't
meet
the
threshold
for
a
traditional
VA,
Vet,
HUD,
bash,
voucher
for
veterans,
and
then,
through
this
program
we
were
able
to
get
them
housed
and
moved
into
an
apartment
and
there,
and
that
is
just
one
of
countless,
countless
stories
where
we've
been
able
to
serve
people
that
would
have
otherwise
been
gone.
AJ
Unserved
moving
on
to
doubling
our
investment
in
senior
centers.
So
if
you
didn't
know
right
now,
the
veteran
seniors
and
Human
Services
Levy
funds,
39
senior
centers
across
King
County-
this
has
been
an
exciting
and
I
would
say
life-changing.
Endeavor
and
I
would
encourage
any
of
you
to
talk
to
the
senior
centers.
If
you
want
to
get
more
direct
feedback
on
that.
But
personal
observation
for
me
was
during
the
pandemic.
AJ
Collectively
they
were
holding
weekly
calls
talking
to
each
other,
collaborating
delivered
thousands
of
Mills
to
people's
homes
because
they
couldn't
come
into
congregate,
settings
and
then
took
majority
of
their
programs
virtually
and
figured
out
how
to
not
only
take
their
programs
virtually
but
then
educate
everybody
on
how
to
be
virtual
at
the
same
time.
So
it's
just
been.
It
was
truly
a
remarkable
Endeavor
to
see
how
the
senior
programs
came
together
as
a
team
and
then
migrated
their
services
and
continued
to
adapt.
AJ
No
Workforce
no
results.
So
in
just
looking
at
the
levy
and
looking
at
our
results-based
accountability,
we
had
some
instances
where
we
were
partnering
with
our
partners
and
we
were
like
Hey
we're
seeing
your
numbers
drop.
Why
is
that?
AJ
AJ
So
overarching
here's,
our
timeline,
we're
in
that
July
block
to
the
far
right.
August
is
the
election,
and
just
due
to
the
timing
of
things,
my
team
and
I
were
working
on
drafting
implementation
plan.
So,
assuming
that
the
levy
is
renewed,
we
can
get
something
before
King
County
Council
to
allow
us
to
continue
to
operate
the
levy
into
2024.
AJ
Those
are
just
some
ways
to
stay
connected.
I
would
encourage
you
all
and
anybody
in
the
audience
that
is
interested.
Those
are
our
various
social
media
platforms
where
we
post
updates.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
I
know
I
rushed
through
that,
but
if
there's
any
questions,
I'm
happy
to
answer
okay.
A
Great,
thank
you
very
much.
You
know
what
I'm
gonna
indulge
myself
and
I'll
start.
First
I'll
be
quick.
I
have
two
questions.
One
is:
are
there
any
plans
to
put
King
County
veterans
program
sites
on
the
east
side
and
two?
How
does
the
state's
long-term
care
program
that
they're
deducting
from
paychecks
now
from
to
cover?
How
does
that
mesh
with
The
CARE
program
that
you
have
for
caregivers.
AJ
So
in
terms
of
veterans
facilities
or
operations
on
the
east
side,
one
thing
that
we
did
change
in
this
Levy
is
one
of
our
King
County
veterans
offices
was
located
in
downtown
Seattle.
We
got
a
lot
of
feedback
that
that
was
hard
to
get
to.
AJ
We
moved
that
office
to
Northgate
along
the
Light,
Rail
and
free
parking,
so
we
have
that
location
there
myself
and
our
veterans
administrator,
Megan,
Stanley,
who's
sitting
right
behind
me
and
as
a
part
of
my
team,
we
are
constantly
talking
and
looking
at
opportunities
to
get
more
of
a
presence
on
the
east
side.
There's
the
potential
in
A
Renewed
Levy
to
have
that
be
physical
in
nature,
in
terms
of
a
location
or
partnership
with
one
of
our
many
contracted
partners
and
that
of
having
our,
we
call
them.
AJ
Social
Service
professionals,
but
social
workers,
essentially
case
managers
come
to
the
east
side
at
various
locations.
All
that
to
say
that's
something
we
are
constantly
exploring
of.
How
do
we
get
more
of
a
presence,
but
even
right
now
our
team
does
job
fairs.
Our
team
does
come
out
to
the
east
side,
just
it's
more
event,
driven
in
that
respect,
I'm.
A
AJ
Yeah
so
I'm
going
to
ask
my
team
to
take
that
one
down.
As
a
note,
we
haven't
done
that
analysis
to
crosswalk
that
particular
thing
with
the
levees
work,
but
I
will
follow
up
with
you
on
on
that
particular.
AH
Yeah
appreciate
this
very
much
it
was.
It's
been
a
pleasure
to
not
only
work
on
this
and
the
one
before
to
you
know,
get
this
in
place
and
all
and
we're
excited
that
we
had
it
work
through
this
and
appreciate
your
acknowledging
I
think
we're
working
real
hard
on
our
efforts
that
are
connected
here
in
Bellevue
on
the
east
side
and
I.
Think
that's
a
great
thing
that
has
kind
of
blossomed
out
from
from
the
past,
and
you
know
we're
I
think.
AH
Well,
you
missed
it
on
here
there
was
a.
We
would
be,
as
we
said,
be
interested
in
talking
to
you
about
the
facilities
here
and
how
we
can
connect
more
in
this
area
and
tie
it
in
with,
as,
as
you
know,
we're
talking
about
the
new
Facility
have
our
homeless
housing
facilities,
our
the
men's,
shelter
or
support.
For
you
know
these.
These
things
are
connected
within
their
veterans
involved
in
that
and
others
and
and
elderly
people.
So
I
think
it's.
AH
It's
We've
made
a
long
strides
in
being
a
lot
more
collaborative
and
working
together
as
a
as
a
region
on
that
and
I.
Think
that's
something
came
out
of
this
last
time,
which
is
very
good,
so
I'm,
really
we
can't
say
very
much
on
a
lot
of
this,
but
I
just
want
to
appreciate
your
involvement
in
the
team's
work
on
this
and
looking
forward
to
working
with
you
in
the
future.
AH
A
AJ
V
Members
on
yes,
thank
you
thank
you
for
being
here
and
helping
explain.
All
of
this
I
did
have
a
couple
of
questions.
I
wanted
to
understand.
One
is
on
the
Human
Services
Workforce
and
expanding
Investments.
You
talked
about
that
so
I'm
wondering
if
you
can
comment
a
bit
more
about
so
there's
intentionality
within
the
funds
in
the
levy
to
actually
raise
the
wages
of
memory,
folks
that
are
providing
the
Human
Services
or
is
it
investment
to
grow
the
pipeline
of
workers
that
want
to
go
into
that
field?
V
V
There
was
a
slide
about
increased
engagement
in
community
and
feelings
of
connection,
and
certainly
we
know
that
seniors
in
our
community
can
feel
very
isolated
and
so
I
wanted
to
understand
a
little
bit
more
about
what
that
is,
and
then,
lastly,
on
it,
I
saw
information
in
here
about
domestic
violence,
hotline
and
gender-based
violence
survivors,
but
more
broadly
related
to
violence
prevention
strategies
that
are
a
little
broader
than
domestic
violence.
I
mean
I
would
say
that
we're
certainly
seeing
more
violence
in
our
community
unsolicited
violence.
V
You
know
it
seems
like
there's
more
of
this
Mental
Health
issues
that
may
be
creating
some
more
violence
just
to
strangers
and
I
just
wondered
if
you
could
comment
about
that.
So
those
are
my
three
questions.
Thank
you.
AJ
Thank
you,
I'm
gonna
try
my
best
to
hit
all
of
those
things
and
if
I
leave
something
up,
please
let
me
know
so.
One
of
the
things
that
we
are
looking
at
in
a
future
Levy
is
how
we
contract
with
Partners,
ensuring
that
we
are
building
in
inflation
into
contracts
to
afford
our
partners
the
ability
to
grow
as
inflation
grows
in
in
our
in
our
community.
AJ
Another
thing
that
we
are
working
on
is
really
partnering
with
the
community
to
say:
don't
fall
into
the
Trap
of
doing
what
traditional
organizations
do
when
they're
applying
for
government
funds,
which
is
to
say
we're
going
to
do
the
most
amount
of
work
for
the
least
amount
of
money
like
we
want
to
know
what
the
true
cost
of
doing
business
is,
what
it's
actually
going
to
take
to
get
the
thing
done
and
then
that's
what
we
want
to
strive
to
fund
and
so
part
of
it
is
overcoming
the
systemic
barrier
of
we
need
to
say
that
we're
going
to
do
as
much
for
as
little
and
that's
the
only
way
we're
going
to
get
the
funding
and
in
changing
that
mindset.
AJ
Additionally,
to
that-
and
this
is
part
of
where
I
would
say
what
we
plan
to
propose,
because
the
executive
still
has
to
endorse
and
then
counsel
King
County
Council
still
has
to
adopt
future
implementation
plan.
We
do
Envision
having
a
strategy
in
there
that
very
intently
focuses
on
Workforce
and
how
we
can
work
to
stabilize
the
wage
inequity
within
our
non-profit
sector.
AJ
One
of
the
things
that
we
found
in
this
Levy
is
that
there's
just
not
enough
caregivers
out
there
and
there's
a
Workforce
shortage
in
caregivers,
and
so
one
of
the
things
that
we're
looking
at
in
a
potential
strategy
is
from
a
Workforce
Development
perspective
of
like
what
does
it
look
like
to
very
intently,
go
after
Workforce
strategies
to
help
create
a
larger
Workforce
pool
for
caregivers,
and
so
it's
really
both
ends
of
the
spectrum
along
the
workforce
side
of
the
wage
inequity
addressing
that
and
then
recognizing,
where
we
have
gaps
in
the
workforce
and
seeing
what
we
can
do
to
mitigate
that
as
well
on
in
terms
of
the
increased
engagement
with
Community.
AJ
My
division
within
dchs
I
reorganized
that
division
to
have
a
policy
and
Community
engagement
team,
because
the
feedback
that
we
got
is
that
we
weren't
engaging
with
community
enough
and
that
some
of
the
hard
feedback
I
got
was
you
only
show
up
when
you
have
something
to
tell
us
or
when
you
need
something
and,
and
and-
and
you
know
that
was
very
eye-opening
to
us,
and
so
part
of
our
restructure
is
because
we
wanted
to
more
intently
show
up
not
only
with
our
local
governments
but
with
all
of
our
Community
Partners,
to
understand
what
is
that
evolving
need?
AJ
And
how
can
we
be
directly
timely
responsive
to
that?
Lastly,
the
violence
prevention,
and
so
we
have
a
gun,
violence
prevention
strategy.
We
have
funding
around
Elder
Elder
Abuse,
Prevention
team,
that's
funded
through
the
King
County
prosecuting
attorney's
office
and
then
some
of
the
other
programs
that
you've
listed
in
that
of
our
gender-based
violence
prevention
programs,
and
so
that
really
captures
like
our
violence.
Prevention,
work.
AJ
I
know
that
there's
other
parts
of
our
department
that
focus
on
prevention
work
that,
if
there's
additional
questions,
we
can
absolutely
take
those
and
provide
an
email
response,
but
our
gun
violence
prevention
work
is
managed
as
a
county
through
our
public
health
department
and
so
the
funding
that
we
have
for
that
through
the
levy,
this
iteration
of
the
levy
passes
through
us
to
Public
Health,
so
we're
not
being
unintentionally
duplicative.
We're
focusing
our
efforts
in
that
way,
and
I
can
say
in
a
new,
renewed
Levy.
AJ
V
AJ
Absolutely
so
one
of
the
things
that
we
very
intently
look
at
is
geographic
distribution
of
services,
and
that
goes
back
to
my
point
of
75
percent
of
the
programs
that
we
have
contracted
say
that
they
provide
services
across
King
County.
Now,
where
the
like
I
would
say,
my
policy
and
Community
engagement
team
comes
in
is
with
community
and
with
local
government
to
say:
hey,
there's
a
need
here
or
wherever
and
it's
not
being
met,
and
then
it's
for
us
to
say
like
do.
V
D
Thank
you
mayor
great
overview
this
evening.
Thank
you
so
much
for
taking
the
time
to
come
down
and
and
and
educate
us
on
this
and
a
lot
of
great
questions
already
from
from
from
my
colleagues
and
we're
running
a
little
late.
So
I'll
just
keep
it
to
one,
and
it
goes
back
to
the
important
things
that
you
mentioned
already
about
Workforce
and
I'm
just
curious.
D
If
you
are
tracking
it
all
those
individuals
in
human
services
that
we
lose
due
to
wage
inequity
issues,
I
don't
know
if
that
is
something
you
are
able
to
track,
or
that's
something
that
the
agencies
or
non-profits,
say
or
partners
that
you
work
with,
are
able
to
track
that
and
then,
on
top
of
that
I
on
I,
think
I
was
on
slide.
Six.
D
The
675
bonuses
I'm
just
kind
of
curious
for
both
hiring
and
retaining
I
believe
how
effective
was
that
in
terms
of
maintaining
that
Workforce
and
what
was
the
average
size
of
those
bonuses?
I'm
just
I'm,
just
curious
as
I
guess:
the
dollar
amount,
but
also
how
effective
was
it.
AJ
Yeah
so
on
the
the
first
piece
of
that
Deputy
Mayor,
the.
AJ
Apologize,
the
so
Workforce
we
have
looked
at
the
total
number
of
Staff
this
year
that
across
all
of
our
contracts
that
are
actually
employed
by
The,
Levy
and
and
so
that
roughly
came
out
to
just
over
I,
want
to
say
500
employees
across
the
county.
AJ
AJ
AJ
Yeah
two
thousand
dollar
bonuses,
so
we
had
underspin
and
and
various
strategies,
and
one
of
our
process
that
we
go
through
annually
is
to
identify
underspin
and
propose
how
to
reallocate
those
dollars.
And
so,
given
that,
when
this
all
came
up,
we
collectively
came
up
with
the
idea
to
provide
retention
and
hiring
bonuses.
AJ
We
think
it
was
pretty
effective.
You
saw
the
number
of
organizations
that
were
served,
but
the
also,
through
our
analysis
and
our
conversations,
what
Partners
it's
a
short
time
solution.
It's
a
really
a
Band-Aid
approach
is
what
we
found
and
so
looking
to
try
and
find
out
what
that
more
long-term
systemic
approach.
AG
Talking
about
Bellevue
I
think
we
have
a
veteran,
low-income
housing
near
Factoria
under
Saint
Margaret's,
Episcopal
Church.
It's
called
St
Andrews
Andrews.
AG
AJ
Thank
you
for
that
question,
council
member,
so
I'm
going
to
read
it
just
because
it's
a
definition,
I
don't
want
to
get
it
wrong
person
or
Community
susceptible
to
reduced
Health,
housing,
Financial
or
social
stability
outcomes
due
to
systemic
and
historical
exposure
to
trauma,
violence,
poverty,
isolation,
bias,
racism,
stigma,
discrimination,
disability
or
chronic
illness,
and
so
really
it's
a
I
would
say
very
broad
definition
and
really
speaks
to
that.
AJ
Human
Service
component
of
the
vshsl
and
the
catch-all
there,
and
so
as
an
example
like
our
gender-based
violence,
prevention
programs
show
up
underneath
resilient
communities
in
a
big
way
very.
AJ
AG
A
You
great
council,
member
Barksdale,
all.
AI
Right,
thank
you
mayor
thanks
for
being
here,
so
the
levy
invests
in
both
short-term
housing
or
shelters
for
as
an
example
in
long-term
housing
like
permanent
Supportive
Housing
are
those
equal
in
terms
of
the
investment
that
they
receive,
or
are
they
this
one
prioritized
over
the
other.
AJ
So
at
the
county
we
believe
in
a
housing
first
model,
and
so
our
investments
and
permanent
support
excuse
me:
Permanent
Supportive,
Housing,
significantly
significantly
overall
outweigh
our
investments
into
shelter
we
invest
into
both,
but
just
from
a
total
dollar
amount.
The
investment
is
higher,
especially
when
you
factor
in
like
in
this
iteration
of
the
levy,
the
capital
dollars
associated
with
operation
dollars
as
well.
P
Session,
thank
you
mayor
council
members.
Our
next
study
session
topic
related
to
Bellevue
code
amendments
to
the
environmental
procedures,
code
and
transportation
development
codes
regarding
State
Environmental,
Policy
extent,
levels
and
transportation
standards
just
by
way
background
of
the
January
17
2023
meeting
earlier
this
year,
Council
initiated
two
city
code
amendments
as
part
of
the
next
right
work,
planning
effort
to
simplify
and
streamline
permitting
processes.
After
the
presentation
staff
are
seeking
Council
direction
to
prepare
the
environmental
code
procedures,
the
environmental
procedures
code
and
transportation
development
code.
P
P
All
yeah,
both
of
them
in
the
this
particular
study
session
topic;
yes,
two
items,
Treasures
environmental
procedures,
code
and
environmental
and
the
transportation
development
right.
Yes,
thank
you
I'll
turn
over
to
Nick
and
he
could
further
clarify
great.
AK
Thank
you
and
good
evening
mayor
Robinson
Deputy
Mayor
noon,
house.
Members
of
the
council.
AK
As
you
are
noting
mayor
Robinson,
this
is
kind
of
a
two
for
one,
so
we've
got
two
code
amendments
that
we're
bringing
forward
as
a
proposal
under
one
study
session
and,
if
directed
by
Council,
will
bring
them
back
separately
as
two
different
actions
under
other
ordinances
and
resolutions
or
consent
calendar
whatever
you
wish
so
for
tonight's
Direction
to
restate
that
it's
looking
to
get
direction
from
you
all
to
have
staff
prepare
the
environmental
procedures
code,
Bellevue
city
code,
Amendment
and
the
transportation
development
code,
Bellevue
city
code,
Amendment
for
final
action
at
a
future
meeting
for
our
agenda
this
evening.
AK
We're
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
next
right
work
where
these
two
code
amendments
are
stemming
from
we'll
talk
about
the
January,
17th,
Council
Direction
and
then
we'll
separate
this
into
a
part.
One
part
two
so
part,
one
being
the
environmental
procedures
code.
Amendment
part
two:
the
transportation
development
code,
Amendment
Molly
Johnson,
will
speak
to
that
item
and
then
we'll
close
with
an
ask
for
Direction.
AK
So
with
the
next
right
work
background.
The
next
right
work
really
builds
upon
the
2017,
affordable
housing
strategy.
Just
about
a
year
ago,
you
all
selected
five
items
to
be
completed
in
the
next
12
to
18
months,
so
this
is
sort
of
a
progress
report
here.
The
green
checks
are
marking
where
we
have
had
Council
action
on
these
items.
The
yellow
checks
are
where
we're
making
progress.
AK
So
on
January
17th
staff
had
brought
forward
a
proposal
on
how
we
might
simplify
the
permitting
process,
as
well
as
expedite
permitting
for
affordable
housing
projects
in
coordination
with
other
ongoing
projects.
So
with
that
January
17th
meeting,
we
had
brought
forward
internal
process
Improvement
Pilots
that
would
be
specific
to
affordable
housing.
Those
are
underway.
We
have
a
team
in
our
land
use
division
within
development
services
that
was
created
for
affordable
housing
and
special
projects.
To
help
respond
to
this
action
for
internal
process.
AK
Improvement,
pilots
and
we'd
also
be
looking
for
ways
to
broaden
that
out
to
other
housing
types
or
development
types
at
a
future
date
and
then
for
tonight
we're
focused
now
on
the
code,
amendments
that
aim
to
simplify
the
permitting
process
for
housing,
as
well
as
mixed
use,
development
in
the
city.
So
the
two
code
amendments
are
one
to
maximize
the
sipa,
categorical
exemptions
and
then
the
second
code
amendment
is
to
align
some
of
the
previous
Council
decision
around
unit
lot
subdivisions
with
some
amendments
to
our
transportation
development
code.
AK
Since
then,
since
sepa
has
become
law,
many
other
state
laws
have
been
passed,
which
required
jurisdictions
to
enact
regulations
that
serve
the
same
purpose
as
sibo
or
intend
to
protect
the
environment,
including
the
shoreline
management
act
which
was
passed
in
1972,
which
requires
All,
Counties
towns
and
cities
to
prepare
and
Implement
Shoreline
Master
programs,
stormwater
regulations
and
permitting
which
implements
requirements
into
the
Clean
Air
Act
or
Clean
Water
Act.
Rather,
in
addition,
the
growth
management
Act
was
was
passed
in
1991,
which
of
course,
has
a
charge
in
there
to
protect
critical
areas
and
then
Additionally.
AK
All
that
to
say,
sipa
is
not
the
only
tool
that
we
have
available
to
us
any
longer
to
protect
the
environment
or
to
engage
with
the
community
in
the
State
Environmental
Policy
Act.
There
are
a
number
of
exemptions
for
permits
and
actions
that
would
remove
projects
from
cipa
review.
There
are
flexible
thresholds
that
can
be
increased
by
local
governments,
and
so
tonight
we
are
discussing
how
we
might
increase
some
of
those
flexible
exemption
levels.
AK
So
cipa
is
commonly
a
gap
filler
for
a
lot
of
jurisdictions
that
don't
have
robust
codes
like
Bellevue.
Does
the
city
and
the
region,
as
well
as
the
state
and
federal
governments,
have
adopted
regulations
that
cover
many
of
the
elements
in
cepa.
So
we
have
natural
environment
elements
as
well
as
built
environment
elements,
and
when
a
community
can
demonstrate
that
in
document
that
you
have
coverage
in
protecting
these
various
elements,
then
you
are
able
to
raise
those
exemption
levels.
AK
So
there
are
many
regulations
that
apply
to
development
projects
in
the
city,
with
the
federal
level
having
its
own
regulations,
the
state
and
the
region
as
well,
and
then
the
city
of
Bellevue
has
also
our
codes
have
advanced
to
such
a
degree
that
we
have
pretty
good
coverage
in
terms
of
protecting
the
environment.
AK
So
with
that
we
are
proposing
to
adopt
higher
thresholds
and
adopting
higher
thresholds
would
mean
that
projects
would
not
be
subject
to
sepa
review
or
complete
a
cepa
checklist
and
Bellevue
would
not
need
to
issue
a
threshold
determination.
So
this
isn't
to
say
that
these
projects
would
not
go
through
any
review.
We
will
still
have
all
of
our
other
review
processes
in
place.
We'll
have
all
of
our
codes
in
place
that
we
would
apply
to
these
projects.
AK
What
this
is
eliminating
is
the
need
for
an
environmental
checklist,
and
it
would
help
simplify
and
streamline
the
permit
process
to
further
encourage
residential
or
mixed-use
development
projects
in
the
city,
reducing
the
permit
timeline.
Some
of
the
outcomes
here
are
to
reduce
those
timelines
which,
with
lower
development
costs,
also
looking
to
eliminate
some
of
our
redundant
processes.
AK
So
to
note
our
process
for
this
Council
initiated
this
code
Amendment
on
January
17th,
at
which
point
we
began
our
public
Outreach
to
amend
our
environmental
procedures
code.
There
is
a
state
requirement
that
we
have
a
60-day
comment
period
that
was
initiated
two
weeks
ago
on
June
29th.
We
are
here
tonight
for
discussion
with
Council
and
at
the
end
of
the
comment
period
will
be
on
August
29th
and
that's
the
soonest
we
can
bring
something
back
for
Action
would
be
after
the
close
of
that
comment
period,
so
that
is
the
Environmental
procedures
code
Amendment
mayor.
A
D
D
You
man,
great
presentation,
thank
you,
so
much
and
I
just
wanted
to
I
believe
that
the
chambers
comments
earlier
this
evening
addresses
this
section
of
your
presentation
in
terms
of
the
number.
If
I
have
this
right,
but
if
I
don't
please
correct
me
about
the
number
of
units
that
would
be
exempt
from
Super
review
from
the
environmentalists,
so
you're
recommending
this
evening,
this
Max
exemption
threshold,
but
is
there
a
bill
that
actually
even
further
exempts
the
number
of
units?
AK
Sure,
yes,
so
the
comment
that
we
heard
earlier
I
believe
mentioned:
Senate
Bill
5412,
which
is
passed
into
law
this
past
year.
AK
From
my
understanding,
one
of
the
main
kind
of
distinctions
between
what
we're
proposing
today
and
what
that
Senate
bill
would
allow
is
the
categorical
exemptions
that
we're
raising
to
is
200
units
and
I
believe
that
the
Senate
Bill
5412
it
has
a
lot
more
documentation
requirements
associated
with
it
and
that
could
potentially
allow
a
limitless
amount
of
units
that
could
be
exempt.
AK
D
If
I
decipher
what
you're
saying
to
me,
then
you
feel
comfortable
making
the
recommendation
of
200
units,
but
that
we
might
look
further
later
on
about
increasing
the
500.
Once
we've
gotten
into
the
bill
a
little
bit
more
and
the
impact
to
the
the
city,
and
would
that
be
a
fair,
a
fair
statement
or.
AK
AK
It
is
a
good
question:
the
documentation
requirements
again,
we'd
have
to
look
to
Senate
Bill
5412,
okay,
but
they
are
pretty
extensive
and
there
are
other
kind
of
environmental
review
processes
underway
with
the
periodic
update
as
well.
Okay,
trying
to
figure
out
what
we
we
might
be
able
to
glean
from
that
process
to
see
if
it
sets
us
up
450
412,
but
that
is
still
to
be
determined
okay,
but
we
would.
AK
V
Member's
on
yes,
thank
you,
I
I,
really
appreciate
the
thoroughness
of
the
information
that
you
provided.
You
know
to
me,
I
think
that
you
make
you
help
us
understand
that,
since
the
sepa
was
put
in
place
in
the
early
1970s,
many
other
regulations
have
been
put
in
place
at
federal,
state
local
levels
as
well.
V
It
is
removing
redundant
processes
that
already
exist
within
all
of
the
codes
that
are
in
that
six
page
document
is
that
correct
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
that
was
correct,
because
I
feel
like
what
we're
really
saying
is
that
we
we
have
a
belt
and
suspenders
and
bubble
wrap
and
really
what
we're
removing
is
the
bubble
wrap?
That's
not
adding
any
more
to
making
sure
that
we
are
making
prudent
decisions.
V
I
might
suggest
that,
especially
in
light
of
the
discussion
around
public
process
and
and
Community
engagement
that
we
may
want
to
consider
in
that
attachment
of
the
six
pages,
adding
a
column
that
says
of
all
of
these
Provisions,
which
one
actually
has
public
engagement
and
public
comments
required,
so
that
that
when
we
take
a
look
at
that
in
the
future,
we
have
that
as
information
and
then
I
would
be
interested
in
moving
forward
with
this.
Now.
V
But
perhaps
look
at
this
as
a
phase
one
phase,
two,
where
phase
two
might
be
looking
at
that
5412,
because
I
was
glancing
at
it
a
little
bit
when
we
were
at
break
and
it
sounds
like
there
is
a
lot
of
requirements
in
order
for
us
to
expand
the
categorical
exemption.
But
it
does
seem
like
it
would
be
prudent
for
us
to
at
least
take
a
look
to
see
if
what
those
steps
might
look
like
and
what
might
make
sense.
V
A
Okay,
so
I
just
wanted
a
clarification
from
slide
10
if
we
could
go
slide,
10.,
just
the
outcomes.
One
of
the
outcomes
is
encouraging.
A
AK
So
the
the
state
does
have
flexible
thresholds
so
when
we
are
looking
to
raise
flexible
thresholds
around
housing
and
mixed
use,
development
we're
also
looking
at
what
other
flexible
thresholds
that
they
have
in
place
and
when
we
begin
documenting
how
we
have
coverage.
It
makes
sense,
from
our
perspective,
to
also
look
at
the
agricultural
structures,
as
well
as
the
commercial
school
office,
recreational
Category
2
all
to
aim
at
streamlining
the
permit
process,
both
for
housing,
as
well
as
some
commercial
development
by
streamlining
that
process.
A
AK
AL
AL
AL
When
we
look
at
the
transportation
code,
it's
very
specific
subdivision
requirements
for
transportation
facilities
and
that-
and
these
are
pretty
robust,
so
here's
an
example:
we'd
have
lots
of
sidewalk
wide
roads
parking
on
the
street
planter
strips
Etc.
Those
work
really
well
for
a
traditional
subdivision,
but
they
really
aren't
what
we
were
looking
at
for
the
unit
lot
style
subdivision.
AL
So
what
we
did
was
look
at
what
are
the
types
of
facilities
that
we
typically
require
for
a
subdivision
they're
much
more
compact,
there's
plenty
of
access
for
sidewalks
and
pedestrians,
but
just
enough
for
vehicles,
so
we
wanted
to
be
able
to
use
these
same
types
of
facilities
for
the
unit
lot
subdivision
the
condo,
the
Pud,
all
those
types
of
developments
that
were
similar.
We
wanted
to
have
the
flexibility
to
do
that,
and
so,
if
we
we
do
make
the
code
change
that
we're
proposing
what
that
does.
AL
Is
it
eliminates
this
barrier
to
provide
these
really
robust
public
roads,
and
it
allows
us
to
come
back
with
these
more
compact
type
standards.
It
allows
a
director
to
put
into
the
transportation
code
the
more
appropriate
standards
to
use
in
this
type
of
development.
So
then,
all
they
all
look
the
same.
AL
AK
A
D
A
Those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
opposed.
Okay,
great!
Thank
you
so
much
so
the
next
item
I'm
actually
going
to
recuse
myself
for
and
because
it
has
to
do
with
some
work
that
my
husband
has
worked
on
and
so
I'm
going
to
recuse
myself
for
the
rest
of
the
meeting.
We
are
following
this
presentation.
We
have
an
executive
session
and
then
our
meeting
will
be
adjourned
after
that
so
I'm
going
to
hand.
The
gavel
over
to
the
deputy
mayor
give
me
give
me
a
second
as
I
pack
up
here.
P
as
part
of
tonight's
presentation,
staff
will
review
some
of
the
responses
to
questions
that
were
asked
at
that
December
meeting
after
the
presentation
staff,
our
seeking
Council
direction
to
prepare
a
permit
for
the
permit
review
and
inspection
fever
reduction,
ordinance
for
final
action
at
Future
meeting
so
joining
us
this
evening
is
Nick
Whipple,
again
code
and
policy
manager,
as
well
as
Matthew
Menard
senior
planner,
both
from
the
development
services
department.
That'll
turn
it
over.
AK
Back
to
you,
Nick
great,
thank
you
and
good
evening,
Deputy,
Mayor
and
Council.
So
as
city
manager
mioki
noted,
we
are
here
tonight
to
talk
about
the
affordable
housing
fee.
Reduction
Program,
one
of
those
next
right
work
items
we
are
seeking
direction
from
Council
to
have
staff,
prepare
an
ordinance
to
reduce
the
permit
review
and
inspection
fees
for
qualifying,
affordable
housing
projects
for
adoption
at
a
future
date.
AK
We
are
prepared
to
bring
this
back
next
Monday,
if
directed
by
Council
I
mean
that
can
come
back
on
consent,
also,
if
directed
by
Council,
so
for
tonight's
agenda,
we
will
cover
the
objectives
of
the
fee,
Reduction
Program,
the
process
that
we
are
planning
to
take
for
this
item,
we'll
discuss
in
more
detail
the
project
proposal
as
well
as
funding.
That
was
a
missing
piece
from
the
December
12th
conversation.
So
we
are
back
with
some
response
on
funding,
as
well
as
Council
questions
that
you
all
had
on
December
12th,
so
four
objectives.
AK
This
does
relate
to
the
next
right
work.
It
was
one
of
the
five
actions
that
Council
selected
back
in
July
of
2022.
It
was
to
reduce
fees
for
affordable
housing
projects.
This
also
relates
specifically
to
the
affordable
housing
strategy
action
C5,
which
more
generally
talks
about
reducing
the
cost
of
building,
affordable
housing
and,
as
part
of
that,
looking
to
lowering
the
fees
associated
with
developing,
affordable
housing
and
also
in
our
housing
needs
assessment.
AK
At
that
time,
staff
did
provide
an
overview
of
the
proposed
scope
as
well
as
schedule,
and
took
some
feedback
and
questions
from
you
all
tonight.
We
are
reporting
back
and
then
we
are
also
seeking
that
direction.
To
prepare
this
for
final
action,
which
would
be
our
step
three
and
step
four
is
to
have
a
budget
allocation
to
a
CIP
that
would
happen
at
the
mid
biennium
budget
at
the
end
of
the
year.
AK
The
program
can
be
put
in
place
before
that
point
in
time,
though,
which
would
be
that
step
three
and
then
just
to
note.
We
have
also
had
Outreach,
since
this
was
initiated
with
Council.
In
particular,
we've
been
working
very
closely
with
our
affordable
housing
providers
in
the
region
to
understand
their
needs
and
what
type
of
arrangement
works
best
with
these
programs.
We've
all
also
been
looking
to
other
communities
in
the
region
to
understand
what
other
cities
are
doing
and
to
learn
from
from
those
examples.
AM
Yeah
excuse
me
for
the
eligible
projects
for
this
we
are
proposing
that
it's
100,
affordable
housing
projects
at
80
or
at
80
Ami
or
below,
oh,
so
that
being
consistent
with
the
land
use
code,
definition
of
affordable
housing,
permanent
Supportive,
Housing
projects,
emergency
housing
projects,
homeless,
Services
uses
so
something
like
overnight,
shelters
or
day
centers,
and
we
are
recommending
that
they
be
affordable
for
the
life
of
the
project.
Much
like
we
do
with
affordable
housing.
AM
They
have
to
sign
an
agreement
with
us
to
maintain
that
use
for
the
life
of
the
project
to
receive
that
fee
reduction.
The
proposed
amount
of
reduction
for
these
projects
is
100
of
review
and
inspection
fees,
so
that
would
be
anything
that
DS
would
collect
from
them,
not
including
pass-through
fees.
So
there
are
some
fees
that
we
pass
through
to
the
state
and
also
to
some
utility
providers
that
we
would
collect
and
then
move
on
to
them.
We
are
not
proposing
that
those
be
reduced
in
any
way.
AM
We
are
also
proposing
that
there's
a
cap
on
pre-development
Services
fees
as
that's
more
open,
ended.
So
do
you
want
to
ensure
the
efficient
use
of
our
staff
time
before
we
get
into
the
true
application
process?
So
we
just
want
to
cap
the
hours
of
that
at
an
amount,
so
it
just
doesn't
go
on
indefinitely.
AM
The
proposed
or
the
estimated
annual
cost
of
this
program
is
three
hundred
and
ten
thousand
dollars
plus
inflation.
Over
time.
The
finance
and
asset
management
department
has
recommended
that
this
be
provided
to
a
CIP
project,
with
a
general
fund
allocation
of
that
three
hundred
and
ten
thousand
dollars
to
begin
with,
and
that
be
allocated
at
the
mid
biennium
budget
update
just
for
simple
Simplicity
of
allocating
that
budget
money.
AM
So
this
was
initiated
by
Council
on
December
12th
in
2022.
There
are
four
main
questions
that
came
out
of
that
meeting.
Whether
this
program
should
be
limited
to
only
non-profits.
What
the
anticipated
cost
of
the
program
is:
What
alternative
funding
options
other
than
the
general
fund
that
may
be
available
for
this
program
and
should
the
permitting
Expediting
projects
and
this
project
be
integrated
into
into
one
process.
Essentially
so,
for
the
first
question:
should
the
program
only
be
limited
to
non-profits?
We
are
recommending
that
it
not
be
limited
now
we
do
think
with
the
sideboards.
AM
We
have
placed
on
the
use
that
there's
little
risk,
that
the
program
will
be
abused
and
we
do
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
open
to
anyone
that
is
going
to
provide
us
that
affordable
housing,
regardless
of
their
status
as
a
non-profit,
as
we
did
here
from
public
comment
earlier
as
well,
we
do
want
to
make
sure
that
public
entities
can
use
this
as
well.
Really
we
are
trying
to
Target
that
affordable
housing
from
whatever
entity
would
like
to
provide
us
that
affordable
housing
and
they
will
have
to
sign
that
agreement
with
us.
AM
So
we
are
making
sure
we
get
those
targeted
uses
through
the
door
before
we
give
them
that
fee
reduction
again,
the
cost
of
this
program
is
anticipated
to
be
three
hundred
and
ten
thousand
dollars
a
year,
adding
inflation
after
the
next
year.
This
was
projected
from
our
businesses
Services
team
in
development
services,
using
the
last
60
years
of
what
would
have
been
qualifying
permits
doing
it
this
way
in
a
CIP.
AM
We
can
also
reassess
this
at
every
budget
cycle,
so
we
will
certainly
keep
data
on
who
is
using
this
program,
how
much
money
has
been
utilized
and
whether
or
not
we
need
to
adjust
that
three
hundred
and
ten
thousand
dollars
over
time
or
if
we
do
have
some
large
anticipated
costs.
We
can
make
that
adjustment
at
the
in
the
budget
cycle.
AM
What
funding
options
may
be
available
to
support
this
program?
We
do
think
the
general
fund
right
now
is
the
most
stable
and
sustainable
source
of
of
money.
We
have
for
this
program.
We
did
explore
other
funding
mechanisms
looking
at
grant
funding.
Looking
at
the
1590
money.
Those
programs
are
generally
targeted
towards
specific
projects
with
specific
targeted
outcomes,
and
they
also
tend
to
limit
the
use
pretty
significantly.
AM
So
we
don't
think
they're
appropriate
at
this
time
to
set
up
that
fund,
that's
more
open-ended,
and
that
needs
to
build
over
time,
because
that
310
000
is
an
average
we're
expecting
some
years
will
below
that
number,
and
some
years
will
be
above
that
number.
There
may
be
no
projects
for
a
year,
so
right
now
grant
funding
isn't
really
set
up
for
that.
AM
We
will
continue
to
monitor
any
funding
that
may
be
available
to
offset
some
of
this
cost,
but
right
now
we
do
think
the
general
fund
is
the
best
option
for
this
program
and
the
final
question
should
permit
Expediting
for
affordable
housing
projects
be
integrated
in
this
program.
As
you've
heard
earlier,
we
are
working
internally
on
Expediting
permitting.
We
do
want
to
make
sure
these
processes
stay
separate
for
the
most
efficiency.
This
is
working
its
way
through
its
own
process.
We
think
permanent
Expediting
will
work
through
its
own
process
as
well.
AM
A
lot
of
the
permit
Expediting
process
is
internal
to
the
way
we
operate,
so
we,
we
think
they're
best
separate,
and
we
think
we
can
get
this
done
more
quickly.
If
we
remain
separate
between
these
two
programs,
we
do
think
that
providers
should
be
able
to
use
both
programs
for
the
same
project
that
would
provide
the
greatest
incentive
for
affordable
housing
in
the
city.
Again,
this
is
a
noted
need
our
recent
affordable
housing
study.
AM
The
needs
assessment
did
show
that
we
have
a
need
across
the
affordable
housing
range,
so
as
much
incentive
as
we
can
provide
them.
I
think
that's
going
to
be
a
benefit
towards
our
goals.
It's
also
a
stated
goal
of
council
to
encourage
affordable
housing
in
the
city.
We
don't
anticipate
there
be
any
negative
outcomes
for
the
development
services
department
if
we
do
allow
these
providers
to
use
both
programs,
just
as
an
example
in
our
system,
it's
called
Horizon.
It
has
come
to
my
attention
approximately
two
hours
ago
that
it's
been
called
Plymouth
Crossing
now.
AM
So
this
is
an
apt
example.
So
if
you
would
look
at
this
project
now
with
this
fear
reduction,
if
it
were
to
be
adopted,
they
would
have
had
approximately
156
000
of
fees
reduced
through
our
permitting
process.
They
did
qualify
and
would
continue
to
qualify
for
our
transportation.
School
impact
fee
exemption,
so
those
fees
would
all
be
waived
in
terms
of
Expediting,
permitting
their
permitting
process
was
about
a
year
and
two
months.
AM
AM
So
there's
less
wash
time
in
our
permitting
process
to
try
to
reduce
that
year
and
two
months
permitting
time
to
something
short
order
which
will
hopefully
save
them
both
time
and
money
throughout
the
process
and,
again
to
reiterate,
we
are
asking
that
you
all
direct
us
to
prepare
an
ordinance
to
reduce
permanent
review
and
inspection
fees
for
qualifying
affordable
housing
projects
for
adoption
at
a
future
date.
As
Nick
mentioned,
we
are
prepared
to
bring
this
back
on
consent
next
Monday,
if
you
so
desire
and
with
that
Deputy
Mayor
I'll
hand
it
back
to
you.
Thank.
AM
AM
So
some
years
you'll
see
much
lower
cost
than
that,
for
example,
the
East
Gate
campus,
which
does
include
that
permanent
Supportive
Housing
project,
their
total
permitting
fee,
was
somewhere
around
1.2
million
dollars,
so
in
certain
Cycles
you're
going
to
see
a
higher
number
than
310
000
so
that
that
310
000
number
has
been
a
calculated
average
over
the
last
six
years
of
qualifying
projects.
AM
AG
You
begin
the
process,
the
project,
the
project-
you
don't
have
that
many
you
projects,
so
when
you
three
hundred
and
ten
thousand
plus
inflation
each
year,
you're
actually
accumulating
building
up
the
fund.
Okay.
So
what's
your
anticipation,
I
mean
how
yeah,
how
fast
you're
going
to
build
up
these
budgets
when
you're
going
to
exhaust
the
money?
If
you
have
too
many
of
them
or
what?
What's
your
anticipation?
Usually
right
now,.
AM
I,
don't
think
we
anticipate
exhausting
it.
We
don't
have
anything
on
the
horizon
that
we're
looking
like
we're
going
to
blow
through
that
budget
generally.
We
would
know
a
few
years
in
advance
if
we
have
a
large
project.
That's
going
to
meet
these
qualifications
as
they
are
quite
unusual.
We
will
use
small
amounts
of
that's
every
year.
This
program
will
cover
things
like
Renovations,
so
those
will
be
much
smaller.
AG
AM
That's
correct,
so
what
has
been
recommended?
To
Us
by
finance
and
asset
management,
is
to
create
a
separate
CIP
project.
So
all
the
money
in
that
project
would
be
earmarked
for
this
program,
so
it
wouldn't
be
used
for
anything
else.
You
know
there's
obviously,
council
discretion
with
how
budgeting
happens.
So
if
you
have
discretion-
and
you
can
also
you
know-
reevaluate-
that
310
000
number
at
each
budget
cycle
as
well.
AG
V
Especially
seeing
what
the
savings
could
have
been
for
Plymouth
Crossing
and
then
amongst
the
three
buildings,
so
the
total
fee
was
actually
1.2
million
between
the
shelter
permanent
Supportive
Housing
and
the
workforce.
Housing
wow,
okay,
well,
I
would
say
that
I
fully
support
the
the
100
of
the
units
at
80,
Ami,
non-profit
and
for-profit,
because
ultimately,
if
they're
building,
affordable
housing
at
those
levels,
I
absolutely
agree
with
that
as
I'm.
V
Looking
at
this
I
guess,
when
I
think
about
how
this
might
be
used,
are
C
C1
and
being
able
to
work
with
our
religious
properties
to
be
able
to
build
permanently
affordable
housing.
Maybe
the
next
tranche
of
of
need
that
comes
from
our
community
and
knowing
that
this
is
available
is
very,
very
helpful.
I
would
say
that
I
I'm,
okay,
right
now
with
the
cap
on
the
pre-development
fee
reduction,
but
I
think
for
those
that
are
the
first
time
coming
to
the
city.
V
They
may
need
a
little
more
hand-holding,
so
I
would
just
be
I
would
ask
for
some
caution
in
determining
what
that
cap
should
be,
so
that
we,
because
ultimately
we're
trying
to
help
them
be
successful.
At
being
able
to
build,
affordable
housing,
so
I
would
just
say
that
just
want
to
confirm
that
this
would
be
both
for
new
housing
as
well
as
preservation
and
renovation.
So
I
know
you
showed
in
one
of
these.
You
know
some
existing
buildings,
hidden
village,
Highland
Village.
V
So
if
there
were
these
kind
of
properties
that
come
into
play,
Then
Renovations
would
also
be
eligible
for
this
and
then
lastly,
the
piece
around
100
of
the
review
and
inspection,
but
not
the
pass-through
fees.
V
That
could
be
used
to
help
support
that
as
well,
because
every
dollar
saved
there
could
potentially
be
a
dollar
utilized
for
more
affordable
housing
the
next
time.
So
that
would
be
I
think
there
were
a
couple
questions
I
had
where
I
saw
some
head
nods,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
and
then
that
last
one
is
an
ask.
AM
Sure
I
can't
cover
the
legislative
items.
I
think
Genesee
might
be
able
to
talk
to
those
the
way
the
proposal
has
been
laid
out.
It
would
include
both
new
builds
and
existing
affordable
housing
if
they
met
that
use
criteria,
so
anything
that
we've
shown
on
the
slides
would
meet
that
criteria.
Most
of
them
are
King
County
housing
authority
projects.
So
if
they
came
in
for
a
permit
to
say
you
know,
replace
a
roof
or
do
some
work
on
their
building
or
do
an
expansion,
those
would
also
qualify
for
the
for
the
fee
reduction.
V
Okay,
no
that's
great
thanks
and
I
guess
that
council.
U
AH
Doubled
it
I
really
think
this
is
great
and
it's
it's
a
big
step
forward.
One
of
the
questions
that
prompted
me
to
think
about
this
when
councilman
was
talking
this
three
hundred
and
ten
thousand
dollars.
What
are
we
talking
about?
That's
not
something
that
somebody
gives
us
or
we
give
somewhere
it's
the
fees
that
we
would
be
collecting
on
that
right.
AK
So,
council,
member
Stokes,
the
310
000,
is
what
we're
projecting
the
annual
cost
of
this
program
would
be
in
order
to
reimburse
wave
or
refund
fees
related
to
the
qualifying
project
types.
So
we
looked
back
six
years
and
at
all
of
our
permit
data
and
the
cost
and
filtered
out
what
would
qualify
to
determine
the
three
hundred
and
ten
thousand.
F
AH
Established
well
I
think
it's
very
reasonable.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
it's
not
that
we're
getting
that
fund
from
someplace
else,
or
it's
not
sitting
there
for
something.
So
when
the
310
000
goes
is
gone,
I
mean
it's
gone,
it's
gone
because
the
city
has
to
pay
staff
and
everything
and
of
everything
for
that
so
correct,
okay,
I
think
it's
great
great.
D
Thank
you
is
that
okay,
great,
thank
you,
councilmember
Stokes,
yeah,
great
presentation.
Thank
you.
So
much
I'm
thrilled
with
this
program
as
well
I
really
appreciate
the
the
real
world
example
here.
Thank
you
for
including
that
into
this
presentation,
one
ass
that
I
would
have
is
just
as
we've
done
with
the
the
review
and
the
inspection
fees.
D
If
we
could
put
a
limit
or
a
set
number
of
months
that
we
could
aim
for
in
terms
of
the
Expediting,
be
it
five
months
be
it
six
months,
but
in
order
to
try
and
reach
that
goal,
I
think
you
gotta
have
to
set
that
goal
first.
So
the
the
answer
was
somewhat
we'll
we'll
try
and
reduce
it.
But
you
know,
if
you
reduce
it
only
by
a
couple
of
weeks,
I
mean
he
has
to
reduced
it,
but
have
you
really
made
an
impact
with
it?
D
Well,
maybe
maybe
not
so
much
so
I'd
encourage
you
to
try
and
put
a
little
bit
of
teeth
in
there.
I
think
that'd
be
great,
but
overall
fantastic
and
with
that
I'd
be
looking
for
a
motion.
Please.
D
Exactly
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
aye,
all
those
opposed,
wonderful
and
that
passes-
and
that
concludes
our
meeting
for
this
evening
and
that
well
at
least
the
the
public
portion
of
our
meeting.
Our
final
agenda
item
is
an
executive
session
pursuant
to
RCW
42.3110,
the
council
recess
now
and
conduct
an
executive
session
for
approximately
30
minutes
and
we'll
adjourn
the
meeting
after
the
conclusion
of
that
executive
session
have
a
good
night.
Everybody.
Thank
you.
