A
Welcome
to
the
bellevue
city
council,
regular
meeting
for
march
22nd
2021
happy
spring.
We
had
a
great
event
at
the
bellevue
downtown
park.
Saturday
night.
It
was
an
anti-hate
rally
for
our
aapi
community.
Just
an
amazing
turnout.
Almost
a
thousand
people
stood
in
solidarity
against
hatred,
and
it
was
a
very
good
reminder
that
there's
just
no
place
for
hate
in
bellevue.
A
A
I
really
want
to
thank
our
federal
delegation
for
its
tireless
work
on
behalf
of
our
residents
and
for
the
direct
funding
our
city
needs
to
meet
the
emerging
demands
due
to
covid
our
state
senators,
senator
patty
murray,
senator
maria
cantwell,
and
our
congressional
leaders,
congressman
adam
smith
and
congresswoman
susan
delbene
have
worked
tirelessly
on
our
behalf
to
deliver
this
critical
funding
for
our
community.
And
lastly,
I
want
to
thank
our
fellow
council
members
for
their
work,
advocating
for
bellevue
and
our
region
at
the
state
and
federal
level.
A
So
this
is
really
good
news,
and
with
that
I
would
like
to
let's
do
roll
call
clerk
mia.
A

D
D
We
acknowledge
council,
member
lee's
leadership
and
we
are
very
appreciative
of
steph's
diligence
in
moving
this
project
along
many
in
the
community,
are
very
excited
about
this
project
and
are
eager
for
opportunities
to
give
input
into
this
project
based
on
our
common
passion
for
a
future
bellevue
cross
cultural
center,
a
group
of
community
leaders
and
organizations
have
come
together
as
friends
of
bellevue
cross
cultural
center
fbcc
to
begin
building
community
support
for
the
center.
In
a
written
testimony
to
you
earlier,
I
have
provided
you
with
the
statement
of
our
purpose.
D
We
wish
to
request
your
recognition
of
us
as
a
community
group
that
can
function
as
a
partner
with
the
city,
keeping
stakeholders,
aware
of
and
supportive
of
the
center
from
the
ground
up.
The
visibility
study
of
the
proposed
center
calls
for
a
community
champion,
a
group
that
includes
representatives
from
the
city,
community
stakeholders
and
the
corporate
sector.
Our
group
of
cross-sector
stakeholders
is
growing
and
we've
started
conversations
with
the
city
staff.
D
Our
efforts
are
consistent
with
the
welcoming
cities,
collaborative
an
effort
to
support
and
equip
east
king
county
cities
in
furthering
their
diversity,
inclusion
and
anti-racism
work.
We
believe
that
diverse
voices
should
be
heard
continuously
throughout
the
design
stage
and
all
further
development
stage
of
the
center
we're
ready
to
provide
our
support
based
on
our
roles
in
the
community
and
the
relationship
we
have
with
various
stakeholders.
D
B
B
Okay,
I
will
go
on
to
the
next
speaker,
who
is
barbara
chevalier,
ms
chevalier,
if
you
are
one
of
the
members
connected
with
the
phone,
can
you
please
thank
you
nope?
Actually
I
see
that's
a
different
speaker.
Ms
chevalier,
can
you
use
star
nine
if
you're
connected
with
a
phone.
B
F
F
Okay,
good
evening,
council
members,
I
am
barbara
chevalier,
a
co-founder
of
300
trees,
an
all-volunteer
non-profit
organization
dedicated
to
preserving
and
expanding
bellevue's
urban
tree
canopy,
and
I
wanted
to
present
an
update
of
our
recent
and
upcoming
activities.
Our
spring
tree,
giveaway
on
march
5th,
was
a
great
success.
We
distributed
over
270
free
trees
to
pre-registered
bellevue
residents
in
a
coveted,
safe
event
held
in
the
parking
lot
of
the
east
shore
unitarian
church.
F
Our
next
event
is
a
small
50
tree
giveaway
reserved
for
bellevue
college
students,
faculty
and
staff
in
honor
of
earth
day
and
will
be
completed
on
campus
in
april.
We
are
also
working
with
the
college
to
secure
nursery
space,
so
we
can
grow
our
own
seedlings
and
reduce
the
cost
of
our
trees
stretching
every
donated
dollar.
Further.
F
Over
the
summer,
we
plan
to
begin
our
outreach
directly
to
residents
supporting
the
expansion
of
existing
green
spaces
and
enriching
neighborhood
blocks
with
donated
trees
and
technical
advice
in
the
fall.
We
are
especially
excited
about
a
large
collaborative
project,
planting
300
trees
on
the
sammamish
high
school
campus.
We
are
partnering
partnering
with
the
sammamish
student
environmental
club,
enact
the
bellevue
school
district,
the
ymca
earth
service
corps
and
propagation
nation,
an
organized,
an
organization
that
donated
1
000
sequoia
seedlings
to
bellevue
a
few
years
ago.
F
F
If
any
of
the
council
would
like
more
information,
or
if
you
have
an
idea
for
an
event
that
is
well
suited
to
the
passion
and
capabilities
of
our
volunteers,
we
will
be
glad
to
meet
with
you.
Our
mission
is
to
bring
the
benefits
of
abundant
trees
to
every
resident
of
bellevue
beautifying
our
community,
helping
to
stabilize
our
climate
and
bringing
hope
to
future
generations.
B
Thank
you,
mr
marsh,
for
speaking
for
miss
chevalier
at
this
point.
That
is
the
end
of
our
pre-registered
list
of
speakers.
If
there's
anyone
connected
to
this
meeting
via
phone
or
computer,
that
would
like
to
provide
oral
communication,
please
use

hand,
function
or

phone.
A
G
Thank
you,
marion
council
members.
I
have
one
item
under
the
manager's
report.
As
you
mentioned,
it
is
a
status
report
on
the
neighborhood
planning
program
and
just
by
way
of
background,
the
community
development
department
is
leading
an
effort
in
the
community
to
develop
new
neighborhood
plans
for
two
neighborhoods
northwest
bellevue
and
northeast
bellevue.
G
This
topic
was
last
in
front
of
council
back
on
october
12th
in
2020,
where
we
gave
a
status
report,
then
tonight's
presentation
is
informational.
H
Thank
you,
city
manager,
miyaki
good
evening,
mayor
deputy
mayor
and
members
of
council
last
spring,
the
city
relaunched
neighborhood
area
planning
in
north
west
bellevue
and
north
east
bellevue,
two
of
bellevue's
wonderful
neighborhoods.
This
work
seeks
to
engage
community
members
on
forming
the
vision
and
associated
goals
and
policies
to
guide
their
neighborhoods.
Looking
forward,
it's
been
really
great
to
see.
H
Residents
learn
more
about
the
planning
process
and
for
staff
to
learn
about
what
community
members
view
as
key
issues,
we're
continuing
to
strive
to
reach
new
residents
and
and
try
new
forms
of
outreach
in
an
effort
to
have
our
engagement
reflect
the
makeup
of
the
community
tonight.
Staff
are
here
to
provide
a
progress,
update
and
outline
next
steps
in
this
important
planning
process.
So
I'd
like
to
now
hand
it
over
to
elizabeth.
I
This
is
really
just
an
update
for
your
information
today
and
we
will
be
going
through
the
process
so
far
that
that
we've
gone
through
for
northeast
bellevue
and
northwest
bellevue
is
kind
of
an
initial
two
neighborhoods
for
this
process
that
we
hope
to
continue
in
the
future,
and
you
know
we're
going
to
start
with
showing
you
just
a
timeline
here.
We
were
last
before
council
in
october
and
that
was
really
kind
of
fairly
early
on
in
the
process.
I
We've
really
been
building
relationships
with
the
community
and
had
shared
with
you
some
of
the
ways
in
which
we
have
been
facing
community
outreach
during
the
coronavirus
pandemic,
and
so
now
we
are
much
further
along
in
the
process
and
can
share
with
you
some
of
the
events
we've
had
and
some
of
these
things
we've
heard
from
the
community
and
then
also
what
next
steps
there
will
be
and
just
as
a
reminder,
the
neighborhood
area
planning
process
is
part
of
the
larger,
comprehensive
planning
amendment
process.
I
But
to
start
off,
we
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
how
we've
been
engaging
with
the
community
and
that
this
has
really
been
led
by
the
community
as
as
a
goal
of
this
project,
so
that
we
we
really
address
issues
that
are
brought
up
by
the
community
and
really
make
these
be
a
collaboration
with
residents,
and
so
there
are
a
lot
of
different
ways.
I
I
Due
to
the
you
know,
nature
of
being
remote
a
lot
of
our
our
outreach
efforts
that
are
kind
of
our
typical
message
are
not
available
to
us,
and
so
staff
have
really
worked
hard
to
find
unique
ways
to
reach
out
to
the
community
and
still
get
a
diverse
sampling
and
still
hear
from
lots
of
different
individuals
within
both
of
these
communities.
And
so
I'm
going
to
walk
through
some
of
the
ways
that
we've
done
that
as
well.
We've
been
really
using
our
engaging
bellevue.com
platform.
I
This
is
our
online
system
where
residents
can
engage
and
kind
of
learn
about
the
the
actual
project
and
so
you'll
see.
There's
there's
different
levels
here
on
the
right
about
how
people
have
engaged
being
aware.
Just
means
that
they've
they've
gone
on
there
and
kind
of
been
aware
that
this
is
happening.
I
We've
also
found
a
lot
of
ways
to
reach
out
to
more
diverse
parts
of
the
community,
and
so
whether
this
is
for
cultural
outreach
assistance,
which
is
a
program
that
we've
we've
initiated
through
this
project,
where
we've
hired
four
part-time
staff
members
to
engage
with
the
chinese
korean,
spanish
and
south
asian
communities,
and
so
we
we've
done
several
events
that
that
are
really
focused
with
these
communities.
I
We've
had
breakout
rooms
that
are
larger
meetings
that
that
have
been
held
in
in
other
languages
and
really
just
kind
of
reached
out
to
these
communities
in
a
more
kind
of
holistic
way,
and
and
really
using
the
networks
that
that
already
exist,
and
so
that's
that's
one
example
of
a
new
way
that
we've
been
trying
to
adjust
and
really
get
diverse
feedback.
I
I
We've
had
meetings
with
ptsas
with
neighborhood
associations,
all
sorts
of
groups,
faith
groups
as
well,
so
a
lot
of
outreach
happened
early
on
in
the
project
to
really
form
that
base,
and
then
we,
we
really
launched
into
a
series
of
meetings
throughout
this
process
that
that
we've
been
holding
over
zoom
and
a
lot
of
those
meetings
have
been
associated
with
things
posted
on
engaging
bellevue.
That
residents
are
able
to
respond
to
on
their
own
time
as
well,
so
that
there's
really
multiple
ways
for
for
individuals
to
get
involved.
I
So
we
we
started
off
with
a
lot
of
kind
of
visioning
work
and
values,
conversations
to
really
identify
where
these
communities
want
to
be
in
the
future
and
really
set
a
baseline
and
really
a
north
star.
For
for
these
plans,
then,
as
we
moved
into
the
fall,
we've
worked
through
some
some
data
sets
about
these
communities
to
identify,
what's
unique
about
them
from
you
know,
demographic
standpoint
from
all
sorts
of
different
data.
I
We
brought
in
people
from
a
number
of
different
departments
to
help
have
these
conversations
as
well,
but
really
just
hearing
from
the
community
on
some
of
these
issues,
you'll
see
what
what
the
four
topics
that
have
really
come
up
in
both
northeast
and
northwest
bellevue
neighborhoods
are
affordability,
mobility
and
access,
trees
and
open
space
and
community
connections,
and
these
conversations
have
been
pretty
different
between
northeast
and
northwest.
I
We've
always
made
sure
that
these
two
communities
are
separated
into
different
breakout
rooms.
If
we
have
combined
meetings-
and
we
also
have
have
many
meetings
that
are
focused
on
individual
neighborhoods
but
you'll
see
these
numbers
here,
kind
of
combining
both
neighborhoods
together
and
then
you'll
see
that
on
the
top
here,
there's
just
a
couple
examples
from
some
of
our
online
engagement,
so
we're
all
kind
of
sick
of
these
zoom
faces.
I
These
communities
and
some
ideas
from
residents
on
on
how
to
address
those
and
staff
are
currently
crafting
policies
that
we're
going
to
bring
back
to
the
community
throughout
april
and
really
get
feedback
from
them.
On
some
of
these
specific
policies
and
and
issues
that
they've
brought
up,
we
also
wanted
to
highlight
some
of
the
demographics
of
the
outreach
we've
done.
You
know,
as
I
mentioned,
we
really
wanted
to
be
aware
of,
of
who
we
were
talking
to
throughout
this,
especially
since
you
know
we
can't
table
at
a
grocery
store
and
get
get.
I
I
Here
again,
this
is
combining
northeast
and
northwest
data,
but
you'll
see
that
on
the
left,
there
are
averages
for
the
events,
and
this
is
kind
of
an
average
across
all
events
and
on
the
right
is,
you
know
we,
we
had
a
big
survey
that
was
answered
by
several
hundred
residents
and
so
looking
at
their
demographic
information
as
well
for
that
online
engagement
and
you
know
high
level
looking
at
sort
of
the
race
and
ethnicity
question.
I
The
numbers
for
the
online
surveys
are
fairly
in
line
with
the
numbers
for
these
two
communities,
which
is
great
to
see
the
gender
you
can
assume.
You
know
really
should
be
more
of
a
50
50,
perhaps,
and
so
we're
getting
a
little
bit
more
kind
of
females
than
males
engaging
with
us
in
both
platforms
as
far
as
kind
of
the
ages
of
attendees,
both
of
these
neighborhoods
actually
have
a
higher
level
of
of
seniors
than
most
of
bellevue,
and
so
we
have
seen
that
reflected
in
these.
I
In
this
engagement
as
well,
but
we've
also
had
quite
a
bit
of
engagement
with
youth.
We
actually
have
a
volunteer
intern
with
us
that
has
been
working
with
us
from
the
local
high
school,
and
so
it's
been
great
to
see
her
use,
engagement
and
really
hearing
younger
voices.
As
part
of
this
communication
and
engagement
and
then
also
looking
at
home
ownership,
you
can
see
78
and
82
percent
and
in
these
communities
they
are
about
65
and
79
for
these
two
communities.
I
A
A
Okay,
so
I'll
encourage
council
to
comment
or
question
offline
but
feel
free
to
follow
up
next
is
our
consent
calendar?
Do
I
have
a
motion
to
pass
the
consent
calendar.
A
G
Yeah.
Thank

The

selected
three
priority

as
the
focus
for
the

These
priority
needs
are
based
on
data
provided
by
human

staff,
probation
staff,
the
city's
wraparound
coordinators
and
a
presentation
by
the

both
sit
on

The
human
services
commission
reviewed
and
discussed
the
applications
at
their
february
17th
meeting
and
held
a
public
hearing
on
their
preliminary
funding
recommendations.
On
march
2nd
I'd
now
like
to
introduce
michelle
klein
human
services
commission
chair
who
will
present
the
commission's
funding
recommendations
to
you.
L
L
L
Commissioners
reviewed
the
demographics
that
were
submitted
by
each
applicant
and
gave
way
to
those
programs
that
served
a
high
percentage
of
these
populations
of
the
eight
applications
recommended
for
funding.
Five
serve
a
large
percentage
of
bypoc
residents,
because
there's
not
enough
money
available
to
fund
all
of
the
qualified
applicants.
Commissioners
favored.
These
programs
that
reach
these
underserved
populations
and
other
populations
that
we
deemed
were
appropriate
to
focus
on
the
second
criteria
was
the
applicant's
experience
administering
administering
cdbg
or
other
federal
funds.
L
Hud
suggests
that
this
be
one
of
the
criteria
used
to
evaluate
agencies
for
funding.
These
funds
have
more
complex
administrative
requirements
than
the
city's
general
fund
grants
and
a
demonstrated
capacity
to
successfully
administer
federal
funds
is
an
important
part
of
the
commission's
risk
assessment
when
deciding
whether
to
recommend
funding
a
project.
L
It's
particularly
important
that
agencies
have
procedures
currently
in
place
to
verify
and
document
the
income
eligibility
of
their
clients
if
low
or
moderate
income
status
is
not
documented.
Properly
the
activity
could
be
determined
and
eligible
for
cdbg
funding
by
hud.
The
commission
does
not
want
to
put
the
city
in
danger
of
having
to
reimburse
hud
with
general
fund
dollars
if
an
ineligible
activity
occurs.
L
L
The
commission's
funding
recommendations
and
rationales
are
included
in
your
attachment,
be
in
your
packet.
As
you
can
see.
On
this
slide,
we
are
recommending
that
the
majority
of
the
cdbg
cv
funds
be
allocated
to
rental
assistance
to
address
the
enormous
backlog
of
unpaid
rent
in
the
community.
Our
recommendations
for
food
assistance
will
help
congregations
for
the
homeless.
L
A
I'm
going
to
call
starting
with
deputy
mayor
nunes
as
the
liaison
to
our
human
services
commission
and
then
council,
member
stokes,
lee
barksdale,
robertson's,
don
and
myself
deputy
mayor.
Would
you
start
us
off
please.
E
Certainly,
and
thank
you
mayor
and
thank
you
to
the
human
services
commission
staff
on
the
on
the
great
report
and
just
to
the
great
work
as
we
waded
into
these
cdbg
funds
and
the
best
approach
to
allocate
these
funds.
I
thought
the
commission
just
did
an
incredible
job
in
terms
of
being
very
thoughtful,
intentional
and
very
inquisitive
too,
in
terms
of
how
we
were
going
to
disperse
these
funds.
As
was
previously
mentioned.
E
These
are
complex
grants.
I
wish
they
were
not
so
complex
so
that
we
could
actually
increase
the
pool
of
agencies
that
could
work
within
our
community
and
and
disperse
these
funds,
but
it
is
what
it
is
so
because
of
that,
we
had
to
be
very
selective
in
terms
of
what
agencies
were
set
up.
E
That
could
handle
the
complexity
of
these
grants
and
then
also
get
the
get
these
funds
out
as
quickly
as
possible-
and
I
think
rightly
so-
very
much
focused
on
and
and
leverage
that
information
that
we
know
previously
from
from
the
work
during
during
this
pandemic,
about
the
rental
assistance,
food
assistance
and
the
behavioral
health
health
being
so
paramount
right
now
in
terms
of
helping
those
those
three
areas
for
residents
in
our
in
our
community
and
then
certainly,
I
think
the
approach
in
terms
of
understanding
who
the
underserved
populations
or
communities
are
within
the
city
of
bellevue
again
that
demonstrate
capacity
to
disperse
those
funds
and
then
disperse
them
quickly.
E
What
was
paramount-
and
I
can
you-
can
see
from
the
organizations
that
were
selected
and
the
money
given
to
those
organizations.
You
know
I
certainly
have
a
very
high
level
of
confidence
that
all
of
them
are
going
to
be
able
to
do
exactly
what
they
said.
They
were
going
to
do,
and
I
I
think
these
funds
are
definitely
going
to
save
lives.
E
So
just
again,
incredibly
proud
of
the
work
that
the
commission
has
done
and
chair
klein
here
being
with
us,
as
as
as
well
as
the
rest
of
the
commission,
I'm
watching
from
from
home
right
now,
but
I'm
just
going
to
quickly
call
them
out,
because
I
think
they've
all
done
such
a
great
job,
so
they're
watching
ben
samara,
tim
ted,
sherry
judith.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
work
really
appreciate
it
and
great
job,
and
with
that
I'll
end,
my
comments.
Thank
you
mayor.
M
Yeah
this
is
very
exciting
and
a
great
presentation
and
a
very
thoughtful
review
by
the
planning
I
mean
by
the
human
services
commission.
I
appreciate
the
deputy
mayor's
thorough
review
of
this.
It's
nice
to
hear
the
process
as
well
as
the
is
the
results,
and
it
sounds
like
a
really
good
result.
This
time
and
michelle,
you
did
a
very
good
job
of
both
putting
together
the
presentation
but
guiding
the
group
through,
and
I
know
how
difficult
it
is
on
these
things.
M
I
think
it's
it's
a
good
package.
It's
a
good
balance.
I,
like
the
support
of
the
bipod
community
and
the
mental
health
support,
specifically
they're,
all
the
others.
M
All
of
them
are
very,
very
you,
know,
needy
and
and
very
appropriate,
and
I
think
that
you
know
the
the
way
that
the
staff
and
the
commission
have
worked
together
has
been
very
positive
as
well,
and
staff
did
a
good
job
in
the
presentation
I
mean,
I
think,
we're
ready
to
go,
and
it's
just
we're
very
fortunate
to
have
this
funding
and
it's
not
enough,
but
it
sure
helps
a
lot
and
I
think
we're
doing
it
and
spending
it
and
working
with
people
in
a
very
positive
way
and
will
have
good
results
so
to
everybody.
M
Who's
been
involved
in
it
and
help
make
this
happen.
Congratulations
and
thank
you.
N
Thank
you
vladimir.
I
always
have
the
highest
admiration
for
human
service
commission
for
doing
such
a
tough
job.
You
know
to
try
to
figure
out.
You
know
where
you
can
actually
help
with
some
money,
because,
as
you
always
you
just
described
the
need,
is
you
know
twice
as
much
more
than
that,
then
it's
needed
and
the
people
who
are
applying
it.
It's
also
just
a
portion
of
people,
you
know
who
really
need
it,
so
the
needs
as
far
exceeds
what
we
can
do.
So
it's
a
great
great.
N
I
mean
it's
a
big
challenge,
great
challenge,
to
figure
out
who
actually
you
can't
fund
who
can
help
it's
a
it's,
a
very,
very
tough
job,
I
always
kind
of
joke.
You
know
the
reason
that
you
know
the
council
can't
handle
this.
We
don't
want
to
tackle
this,
so
we
give
to
a
bunch
of
volunteers
to
do
the
to
do
the
tough
work
for
us.
So
I
really
appreciate
you
know
what
human
service
commission
is
and
thank
you
for
sharing
klein.
You
know
to
leading
this
effort
and
obviously
staff.
L
N
Know
that
the
applicants
to
the
point
that
you
have
a
chance
to
you
know
to
help
the
council
to
make
those
decisions.
So
thank
you.
You
know
my
con's
always
been.
You
know
where
a
lot
of
constraints
when
you
do
a
cdbg
fund,
you
know
their
requirements.
Are
you
capable
of
your
filing
ability,
your
history,
you
know,
so
it
has
certain
constraints
which
we
have
to
live
with.
Obviously,
so
I
understand
that
so
that's
my
only
time
and
that's
why
I'm
really
glad
in
the
early
part
of
this
last
year
this
year.
N
In
fact,
you
know
you
know,
budget
concern,
or
even
before
that
you
know
we
were
able
to
use
some
of
the
city
funding.
You
know
which
doesn't
have
all
those
constraints
to
be
able
to
establish.
You
know
build
capacity
with
organizations
that
are
new,
so
most
of
the
people
who
get
you
know,
award
com
agencies
that
have
already
proven
they've
done
that
a
lot
a
lot.
So,
but
then
you
were
coming
up
because
there's
a
new
community,
newer
capacity,
so
I
think
the
city
has
done
a
great
job,
recognizing
it
and
working
on
that.
N
So
I
want
to
complement
the
city
also
recognizing
that
and
making
an
effort.
So
so
I
just
say
that
you
know.
Hopefully
you
know
that
this
reflected
on
the
applicants,
like
you
know,
for
tomorrow,
like
a
salvation
army,
you
know
some
of
these
new
entities
and
they,
I
think
they
do
good
great
work.
They
do
good
work
and
they
actually
can
feel
the
needs.
But
you
know
they
don't
meet
the
criteria,
so
I
I
I
feel
sorry
for
them.
N
I
have
sympathy
and
I
think
that
human
service
commissioners,
you
feel
probably
the
same
way
so
with
what
we
have
to
work
with.
I
want
to
thank
you
and
you
do
a
great
job
and
all
these
people
and
your
people
definitely
in
need.
They
need
to
be
helped
and
all
these
organizations
they
do
great
work
and
they
are
feeling
the
needs
and
we
appreciate
what
they
are
doing,
what
they
help
us
to
serve
our
community.
So
actually
I
agree.
I
support
what
you
are
doing.
I
wish
we
could
do
more.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
lee
councilmember
barksdale.
O
Hey
thank
you
mayor
first.
I
just
want
to
thank
the
commission
for
the
thoughtful
recommendations
staff
for
the
support
I
served
as
a
counselor
liaison
to
the
probation
advisory
board
and
we
often
talk
about
the
need
in
that
space.
I
also
want
to
thank
the
federal
delegation
and
I'm
glad
to
see
that
we've
included
a
new
trusted
partner
who
serves
our
bipod
community
central
culture
of
mexicana,
and
I
think
that
will
also
help
us
further
improve
our
reach
to
communities
who
are
disproportionately
impacted
by
by
covet.
So
thank.
C
Thank
you.
I
support
the
recommendation
for
all
the
reasons
that
have
already
been
said.
It
meets
a
lot
of
the
goals
that
we've
set
at
helping
the
people
most
profoundly
impacted
by
the
covid
impacts.
So,
and
I
would
just
thank
the
human
services
commission
great.
P
Yes,
thank
you.
I
echo
all
the
comments
that
have
been
previously
made.
It
is
such
a
tough
job
to
look
at
all
of
the
need
in
the
community
right
over
2.2
million
dollars
worth
of
ask
and
we
were
only
able
to
provide
900
000
right.
So
it's
it's
a
tough
decision
to
make
about
who
is
actually
gonna
get
the
funding.
So
I
just
really
appreciate
the
work
I
did
have
a
couple
of
questions.
K
P
I
was
just
curious,
I
know
it's,
it's
a
tough
thing
to
try
to
get
a
handle
on,
but
it
helps
us
to
get
a
better
understanding
of
that.
Thank
you
and
then
the
other
one
I
have
is
on
the
solid
ground.
Where
you
talk
about
the
90
000
of
unspent.
P
K
Last
year,
solid
ground
contacted
me
around
the
fall
and
said
because
of
various
reasons,
some
staff
turnover
they
had
and
other
extenuating
circumstances.
They
didn't
think
they
could
spend
the
full
amount
so
being
given
that
warning,
I
was
able
to
reallocate,
or
the
city
was
able
to
reallocate
the
money
to
lifewire's
housing
stability
program.
K
P
And
thank
you.
I'm
not
surprised
at
all
that
you
guys
are
amazing
right
that
we
are
literally
taking
every
dollar
and
supporting
our
community
and
live
fire.
Does
amazing
work
for
the
community
as
well,
and
then
I
would
say.
Lastly,
I
understand
about
the
reason
why
hero
house
didn't
look
like
we
were
able
to
provide
the
funding.
P
A
Well,
thank
you.
I
just
want
to
thank
chair
klein
and
the
human
service
commission.
It
is
a
tough
job
and
they
do
very
good
work
and
it's
a
it's.
A
rapid
response
to
an
everlasting
need
that
we
have
in
our
community,
and
so
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
support
this
allocation
of
funding.
I
think
the
council
member
might
have
asked
this
question.
John
may
have
asked
this
question
already,
but
I
was
thinking
about
something
council
member
barksdale
said.
A
Terrific
all
right,
thank
you
very
much.
So
our
next
study
session
item
is
our
environmental
stewardship
initiative
quarterly
update.
Mr
miyaki,
would
you
like
to
introduce
that.
G
Can
you
marry,
I
guess
something?
Oh.
G
A
Know
I
totally
blew
that
I
knew
there
was
something
sorry
about
that.
Is
there
a
motion
to
approve
this
recommendation
for
funding?
I.
N
G
Yes,
thank
you,
american
council
members.
This
is
the
first
quarterly
update
to
council,
since
you
adopted
the
updated
environmental
stewardship
plan.
At
that
time,
the
council
direction
to
staff
was
to
bring
back.
These
quarterly
updates
on
the
intent
of
tonight's
session
is
to
provide
an
overview
of
the
2021
esi
annual
work
plan,
including
an
outline
of
the
esi
implementation.
Enhanced
engagement
approach
as
well
as
some
highlights
of
some
several
early
wins
that
have
happened.
G
This
topic
was
last
for
the
council
on
december
14th
of
2020,
when
in
fact,
you
adopted
the
the
environmental
stewardship
plan
update
this
presentation
this
evening
is
informational.
No
formal
direction
is
being
asked
by
the
council
this
evening.
Obviously,
questions
are
welcome
as
well
as
feedback,
so
joining
us
this
evening
is
matt
cummins
our
director,
as
well
as
amy
king
assistant,
director
and
jennifer
ewing,
environment
stewardship
program
manager,
all
of
the
community
development
department,
and
with
that
I'm
not
sure.
If
I'm
handing
this
over
to
mac
or
team
meal
I'll,
let
them
decide.
H
Thank
you,
city
manager,
miyaki,
on
behalf
of
the
community
development
department.
I
wanted
to
give
a
few
opening
remarks
and
good
evening
mayor
deputy
mayor
members
of
council
tonight,
jennifer
ewing,
our
esi
program
manager,
will
provide
an
overview
of
what
to
expect
in
2021
regarding
the
esi
actions,
it's
important
for
council
to
remember
this
is
a
strategic
five-year
plan
that
will
be
rolled
out
based
on
available
resources
and
will
gain
momentum
over
time.
H
The
really
exciting
parts
of
the
enhanced
engagement
framework
to
be
highlighted
tonight
are
the
ability
to
engage
a
broader
set
of
interested
residents
and
members
of
the
business
community
and
how
this
engagement
will
assist
in
accomplishing
2021
actions.
We
really
appreciate
council's
strong
support
for
environmental
stewardship,
both
in
municipal
operations
and
community-wide
efforts.
We're
very
excited
to
get
started
with
implementing
these
actions
in
future.
Quarterly
updates
you'll
be
able
to
track
our
ongoing
work
that
will
culminate
within
annual
esi
progress
report.
So
with
that,
I'd
like
to
now
turn
things
over
to
jennifer
yoon.
Q
Okay,
sorry
about
that,
having
my
computer's
moving
a
bit
slowly
here,
let
me
go
ahead
and
share
my
screen
again.
A
You're
still
in
your
screen,
okay.
Q
Is
that
working
that
works?
Okay?
Great
sorry
about
that,
my
computer
was
moving
slowly
all
right
well
good
evening,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor
newman
house
and
members
of
the
council.
I
am
excited
to
be
here
tonight
for
the
first
quarterly
update
of
the
environmental
stewardship
initiative,
as
was
mentioned
tonight,
is
for
information
only
I'll
give
an
overview
of
our
work
plan
for
the
year.
Talk
about
our
enhanced
engagement
approach
and
then
highlight
some
early
wins.
Q
Q
There
was
some
additional
funding
included
in
the
budget
for
both
enhanced
engagement
and
also
for
some
quick
win
projects,
and
then
we
also
heard
a
desire
from
council
for
to
you
know,
aim
to
seek
partnerships
to
support
the
implementation
of
the
plan
and
to
also
lead
by
example,
through
sustainability
efforts
in
our
municipal
operations.
Q
So,
to
kind
of
give
a
high
level
overview
of
our
work
plan
for
the
year,
I've
I'm
including
some
of
the
bigger
efforts
we
have
underway
or
what
will
be
getting
underway
this
year,
the
icons
there
represent
the
different
focus
areas
in
the
plan.
Q
We
have
some
of
these
kind
of
phased
throughout
the
year
in
terms
of
when
they're
starting,
but
to
kind
of
give
you
an
overview
of
the
list.
The
climate
vulnerability
assessment
is
something
we're
looking
to
do
as
part
of
the
pre-work
for
our
comprehensive
plan.
Update
that'll
actually
start
a
bit
later
in
the
year,
but
wanted
to
include
that
part
of
some
of
the
early
win
funding
that
you
provided
are
going
to
support
the
the
two
bullets
here
under
energy,
the
clean
buildings
act,
clean
buildings,
act,
support
and
home
energy
retrofit
program.
Q
Those
are
going
to
be
two
new
programs
that
I'm
excited
about.
The
clean
buildings
act
is
a
statewide
legislation
requiring
buildings
over
50
000
square
feet
to
meet
certain
energy
efficiency
targets,
so
the
state's
going
to
have
some
technical
support,
but
we're
really
going
to
kind
of
go
a
step
beyond
that.
For
the
the
buildings
in
bellevue
to
help
them
comply
and
then
there's
also
some
early
adopter
funding
that
we
want
to
help
buildings
in
bellevue
take
advantage
of,
and
then
we're
also
looking
at
developing
a
new
home
energy
retrofit
program.
Q
This
could
you
know
we're
really
in
the
very
early
stages
of
this,
but
the
intent
is
really
to
kind
of
supplement
and
build
on
pse's
energy
efficiency
programs,
our
community
development
block
grant
weatherization
programs
and
that
sort
of
thing
so
looking
to
kind
of
fill
any
holes
that
might
exist.
Moving
on
under
the
municipal
operations,
the
kind
of
two
bigger
items
there
are
developing
a
green
fleet
strategy
and
then
also
working
on
some
bigger
energy
efficiency
projects
in
our
city
facilities.
Q
We
also
applied
for
a
department
of
commerce
grant
that
we
should
hear
about.
I
think,
at
the
end
of
april,
so
we're
hoping
we'll
be
successful
on
that
one.
I
think
we
have
a
pretty
competitive
grant
application,
so
hopefully
more
more
news
on
that.
Next
time
we
come
back
under
the
mobility
and
land
use
we'll
be
working
on.
You
know
incorporating
sustainability
into
you
know
a
number
of
the
kind
of
bigger
land
use
projects
going
on
this
year
under
waste.
Q
You
know
the
utilities
department
is
really
looking
at
building
on
some
of
their
work
to
date,
to
really
kind
of
focus,
on
improving
multi-family
recycling
rates
and
then
under
trees
and
natural
systems.
Kind
of
two
big
things:
we're
working
on
developing
our
own
tree
giveaway
program
and
we've
also
been
working
with
300
trees
and
and
supporting
some
of
their
efforts
and
looking
at
also
how
they
can
support
us
for
archery
giveaway
this
fall.
So
we're
really
excited
about
that.
Q
Also
we're
really
looking
to
use
an
equity
lens
and
how
we
develop
that
program
to
dedicate
you
know
a
good
portion
of
the
trees
to
the
neighborhoods
in
bellevue
that
have
lower
tree
canopy
and
also
setting
aside
some
trees
for
residents
lower
income
residents-
and
you
know
some
of
our
target
demographics-
also
working
on
doing
some
analysis
and
soliciting
ideas
for
tree
planting
locations.
Q
So
what
you
see
here
this
is,
you
know
more
the
work
plan
for
the
environmental
stewardship
program
and
our
resource
conservation
manager
program.
There's
also,
as
you
remember,
a
number
of
actions
in
the
environmental
stewardship
plan
such
as
the
mobility
implementation
plan
and
the
watershed
management
plan,
for
example,
that
are
being
led
by
transportation
and
utilities.
Q
Q
Okay,
so
the
other
big
thing
on
the
work
plan
for
this
year
that
really
kind
of
underpins
all
the
actions
listed
on.
The
previous
slide
is
the
enhanced
engagement
approach.
So,
as
the
plan
was
being
adopted
at
the
end
of
last
year,
we
heard
a
desire
for
us
to
continue
to
engage
with
the
community,
both
some
of
our
stakeholder
groups
and
also
our
residents
to
support
the
implementation
of
the
plan.
Q
So
we
thought
a
bit
about
the
the
best
way
to
approach
this
and
how
to
kind
of
formulate
or
organize
our
outreach.
As
part
of
the
plan
update,
we
formed
a
sustainability
leaders.
Group
comprised
of
you
know
some
of
the
larger
employers
in
bellevue
some
of
our
business
groups
here,
the
school
district,
bellevue
college.
Q
You
know
a
number
of
kind
of
major
stakeholders
here,
which
was
great
to
you
know,
start
to
for
one
just
build
some
of
those
relationships
around
sustainability
learn
more
about
what
others
are
doing,
but
they
also,
you
know,
provided
some
great
insights
into
our
plan.
So
our
approach
for
enhanced
engagement
is
really
to
kind
of
continue
some
of
that
work
and
build
on
it.
We
use
the
east
side
pathways
collective
impact
model
as
a
bit
of
kind
of
an
inspiration.
Q
We're
not
you
know
completely
following
that
approach,
but
definitely
looked
at
that
as
an
idea,
and
then
you
know
again
really
focusing
on
implementation
and
how
can
we
work
together
and
find
areas
of
common
interest
to
to
support
the
implementation
of
the
plan
and
then
also
continuing
our
engagement
with
with
residents
and
resident
groups,
so
really
for
the
enhanced
engagement?
What
we're
calling
it
is
the
sustainable
bellevue
partnership
and
there
will
really
be
sort
of
two
prongs
to
that.
Q
You
know
the
stakeholder
group
engagement
and
then
the
the
resident
engagement
for
the
stakeholder
groups.
You
know
we
we
had
a
list
of
groups,
we
worked
with
as
part
of
the
plan
update,
we're
kind
of
starting
to
revisit
that
list.
We
also
want
to
include
you
know
some
of
our
local
environmental
groups,
like
the
the
people
for
climate
action,
folks
and
300
trees
as
part
of
that
group,
so
kind
of
we,
we
have
a
list
from
who
all
we
worked
with,
but
you
know
already
starting
to
hear
some
ideas
of
other
groups.
Q
We
may
want
to
add
to
that
and
then
kind
of
we'll
have
this
sort
of
umbrella
of
the
sustainable
bellevue
partnership,
and
then
we'll
have
some
committees,
which
is
where
you
know
a
lot
of
the
work
is
actually
going
to
happen.
So
as
we
look
to
build
out
some
of
our
commercial
energy
efficiency
programs,
for
example,
we'll
really
want
to
bring
in
the
subject
matter.
Q
Experts
on
that,
such
as
property
managers,
building
owners,
those
kind
of
people,
so
the
ad
hoc
committees
will
be
a
bit
flexible
from
year
to
year
kind
of,
depending
on
what
we're
working
on.
So
we're
excited
about
this
approach
as
a
way
to
you
know
for
one
help
us
really
advance
our
work
and
our
work
plan,
but
also
to
really
help
catalyze
partnerships.
Q
You
know
between
the
city
and
other
partners,
but
also
you
know,
we'd
really
like
to
see
some
partnerships
amongst
the
partner,
the
different
organizations
as
well,
so
just
kind
of
a
quick
overview
of
some
early
wins.
You
know.
A
number
of
these
things
are
our
projects
that
were
in
the
works
kind
of
from
last
year,
so
not
necessarily
using
the
the
quick
win
funding
that
we
received,
but
you
know
some
nice
project
successes
that
I
just
wanted
to
highlight.
Q
So
recently,
pse,
you
know
kind
of
did
the
official
turn
on
if
you
will
or
flip
the
switch
for
their
skookum
check,
wind
farm
and
the
lund
hill
solar
farm,
which
is
pretty
exciting.
Q
Those
will
provide
renewable
energy
for
about
70
percent
of
our
city
operations
and
because
of
the
fact
that
the
wind
farm
that
project
was
actually
quite
delayed
due
to
the
complexity
of
the
project.
That's
helped
to
reduce
the
rates
in
some
of
the
the
damages
psc
was
able
to
collect
in
terms
of
the
project
being
you
know
pretty
significantly
delayed,
so
we
were
already.
Q
You
know
poised
to
save
some
money
on
our
energy
bills
through
this
contract
and
and
the
savings
have
actually
increased,
which
is
exciting,
as
don
marsh
mentioned,
we'll
be
working
on
our
own
tree,
giveaway
project
which
we're
we're
excited
about
and
then
also
excited
to
have
some
of
our
our
partners,
both
300
trees
and
the
school
district.
Q
Q
We
are,
we
went
through
an
application
process
to
get
some
electric
vehicle
charging
stations
at
the
bellevue
service
center
from
pse
through
one
of
their
pilot
programs,
so
excited
to
be
able
to
provide
that
for
for
our
staff
and
for
our
fleet
and
then
finally,
the
the
city
was
awarded
an
icma
certificate
of
distinction
perform
for
performance
management,
which
was
for
the
entire
city,
but
our
environmental
stewardship
performance
dashboard,
you
know,
was
really
featured
in
our
application
for
that
so
proud
to
have
contributed
to
that
award
and
acknowledgement.
Q
So
in
terms
of
what's
next
like
like,
we
said
that
we
will
be
coming
back
for
quarterly
updates.
The
next
update
is
going
to
focus
more
on
on
our
performance.
So
what
are
you
know?
What
are
the
outcomes
from
last
year
in
terms
of
our
greenhouse
gas
emissions?
Energy
use
that
sort
of
thing.
Q
I
think
it's
going
to
be
pretty
interesting
to
see
what
the
what
the
data
looks
like
since
last
year
was
such
an
anomaly
in
many
ways,
and
then,
after
that,
we'll
you
know
really
try
to
provide
more
kind
of
updates
on
different
focus
areas,
so
we
can
spend
a
little
more
time,
for
instance,
talking
about
work,
we're
doing
for
our
city
operations
or
for
trees
and
natural
systems,
et
cetera,
and
then
always
kind
of
providing
some
project
successes
and
then
other
next
steps
are
officially
launching
the
sustainable
bellevue
partnership,
and
then
you
know
really
getting
moving
and
pushing
up
our
sleeves
on
a
lot
of
these
projects
and
programs.
Q
We
want
to
get
underway
this
year
so
for
that
that
pretty
much
wraps
up
the
presentation
again.
This
was
for
information
only
and
yeah.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
O
Yes,
thank
you
mayor
and
thanks
jenna
for
the
great
report
good
to
see
that
we're
partnering
and
with
the
organizations
in
our
community
who
are
passionate
about
environments,
environmental
sustainability.
I
just
wanted
to
add-
I
know
you
mentioned
elsewhere,
but
just
sort
of
iterate
the
importance
of
working
with
the
youth
organizations.
I
know
you
had
mentioned
in
our
previous
conversation,
youth
link
so
and
then
on
the
watershed
management
plan
stakeholders.
O
I
noticed
that
that
didn't
have
stakeholders
listed
yet,
but
I
just
wanted
to
suggest
maybe
the
flood
control,
district
or
native
american
tribes
and
trout
unlimited
as
maybe
a
few
for
starters,
and
then
the
last
thing
that
I
would
just
recommend
is
looking
at
ways
we
can
continue
to
in
partnership
with
the
organizations
figure
out
what
data
they
need
in
order
to
take
on
some
of
the
creative
actions
in
the
community.
So
just
one
example:
we
had
talked
with
some
youth
over
a
year
ago.
I
think
it
worked.
O
It
was,
and
we
had
ideas
about
creating
an
app
right
around
to
encourage
people
to
engage
in
more
sustainable
behavior
on
a
day-to-day
basis,
and
I
think
just
having
that
conversation
to
figure
out
what
data
would
be
helpful
for
businesses
and
individuals
in
the
community
to
actually
be
useful
I'll
leave
it
there.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
bart,
dale,
councilmember
robertson,.
C
Thanks,
I
appreciate
the
update,
I'm
glad
that
we're
doing
these
quarterly
now,
so
that
we
can
keep
our
fingers
on
the
pulse
of
what's
happening
with
our
environmental
stewardship
initiative.
No,
I
think
this
looks
good.
I
I
really
am
pleased
with
the
in
particular,
with
the
outreach
that
we're
doing
trying
to
make
sure
that
we
get
people
hear
from
them
and
and
hear
from
them
and
let
them
get
engaged
with
us.
I
think
that's
very
supportive.
So
thanks
for
the
presentation
thank.
M
Yeah,
thank
you
very
much
jennifer
for
the
presentation
and
really
giving
us
some
pretty
good
detail
of.
What's
going
on.
I
assume
that
I'd
like
to
sometime.
I
don't
have
anything
else
to
do
so,
really
go
through
the
detailed
package
and
see
that,
because
it's
really
exciting
to
see
what
we're
doing
and
understand
it
and
tie
it
into
other
work.
M
I
want
to
focus
a
little
bit
on
the
trees,
which
I
think
is
a
very,
very
important
thing,
and
I
am
really
glad
to
see
the
300
trees
and
and
community
coming
together
in
a
in
a
very
positive
way
to
help
with
focusing
on
our
canopy
and
and
those
things
and
the
work
that
you're
doing
on
that
as
well,
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
have
a
little
concern
about.
We've
gotten
some
emails
recently
from
some
people.
M
Who've
had
some
very,
I
think,
thoughtful,
probably
missing
some
information
and
all,
but
I'm
soon
you'll.
You
know
some
staff
will
respond
to
them,
but
very
concerned
about
is
what
they
view
as
a
significant
number
of
trees
being
cut
down
for
development
and
that
that
is
going
to
be
a
big
issue.
I
think
in
in
ongoing
years
we
you
know
we
want
to
get
to
our
goal,
but
it's
hard
to
sometimes
plant
as
many
trees
as
are
taken
out.
M
So
I
think
that's
a
big
challenge
and
I
do
think
that's
something
you
can
help
us
look
at
overall
in
in
our
as
we
grow
in
the
wilberton
area,
particularly
on
others,
and
some
of
the
developments
that
we've
been
talking
about
recently
will
end
up
with
a
lot
of
trees
gone.
So
it's
that
that's
always
a
battle,
but
I
think
you're
going
the
right
direction
of
really
addressing
that
and
very
positively
and
look
forward
to.
You
know
your
success
in
that
the
let's
see
I
had
one
other
thing.
M
I
think
the
the
other
group
you
didn't
mention,
but
I
think
we
can-
and
I
can
certainly
help
that
is
with
the
raw
eight
salmon
recovery
council
working
more
with
the
city
with
particularly
with
the
kokanee
work
on,
like
some
amish.
But
you
know
the
whole
thing
on
the
saving
the
the
salmon
and
the
sound
is
all
important
for
all
of
us.
M
It's
all
tied
together,
so
we
can
do
some
more
work
there,
and
the
last
thing
I
want
to
mention
is
I
wholly
work
completely
recommend
and
think
that
really
getting
into
and
finding
out
how
it
really
works,
the
collective
impact
model
to
do
certain
things
is,
is
just
it's
just
outstanding,
so
I'm
glad
you're
looking
at
that
and
again,
if
I
can
be
helpful
on
that,
let
me
know
that's
what
we've
been
doing
eastside
pathways
for
some
time
and
it's
good
for
us
to
all
of
us
to
connect
and
learn
from
each
other
in
these
things.
M
So
that's
good
too,
but
great
work
and
really
pleased
again,
as
others
have
said,
to
have
the
quarterly
reports.
I
know
it's
a
lot
of
work,
but
I
think
it
all
keeps
us
all
really
focused
on
the
conversation,
and
you
know
knowing
more
about
it
means
that
we
can
support
it
more.
So,
thank
you.
N
Thank
you.
Some
of
us
went
to
the
300
trees,
giveaway
and
I
didn't
get
one
because
I
didn't
pre-register
so
and
I
you
know
I
live
in
somerset.
Someone
said
trees
is
always
a
controversial
topic.
You
know,
so
I
have
a
question
on
that.
I
think
you
know
mr
stoke
mentioned
that
there's
a
lot
of
trees.
That's
been
cleared
for
certain
development.
N
You
know,
I
think,
that's
where
the
potential
need
to
be
paid
is
when
you
have
a
development,
we
have
a
lot
more
development
coming
up,
so
you
have
trees,
three
disco.
When
they
you
know,
are
taken
away.
They
take
away
varied
quantities
when
you
put
them
up,
you
put
them
on
your
wind
at
the
time
so
yeah.
N
My
second
question
is
it's
a
as
a
compliment
you
talk
about
emphasizing
on
partnership.
I
think
that's
good.
I
think
the
the
city
you
know,
as
part
of
as
I
heard
even
tonight's
discussion.
I
think
that's
really
a
great
way
to
go
when
we
do
a
lot
more
stuff.
We
need
to
you
know,
leverage
and
use
partnership.
N
Q
Sure
I
can,
I
can
give
sort
of
the
the
quick
answer
and
then
yeah.
I
bet
some
of
the
other
council
members.
It
sounds
like
council,
member
stokes
is
also
pretty
familiar
with
it,
but
I
think
the
main
idea
is
to
bring
together
a
bunch
of
organizations
that
have
similar
goals
and
missions,
and
then
you
develop
a
sort
of
shared
set
of
goals
and
a
shared
agenda
which,
in
you
know,
for
east
side
pathways.
The
goals
are
really
around
educational
attainment
and
actually
they
may
have
some
other
goals
too.
Q
Q
N
A
good
that's
a
good
idea.
You
know
I
I
just
thought
about
this
friends
of
cross
culture
center.
You
know
that's
organizations,
individuals,
they're,
all
working
together,
they're
all
brought
together.
So
that
is
really
like
what
you're
talking
about
it's
a
you
know:
collective
impact
partnership.
Thank
you.
P
Yes
well,
thank
you
emil
and
jennifer.
I
love
this
right.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
quarterly
updates
and
the
quick
wins,
and
also
the
name
right
to
brand
it
sustainable,
bellevue
partnership.
Where
we
are
about
how
do
we
have
quick
wins?
How
do
we
have
the
long
game
too,
about
implementation
towards
our
goals?
How
do
we
be
that
convener
of
all
of
these
different,
hopefully
partners
that
are
going
to
continue
to
grow?
P
So
I
really
like
that,
and
I
think
the
key
is
that
you
know
as
we
reopen
this
is
the
moment
to
really
reimagine
as
we
look
at
the
the
new
or
normal
what
pieces
we
want
to
put
in
place
so
that
we
can
really
strengthen
this
effort.
So
I
like
the
fact
that
we've
got
right,
trees
and
electrification
and
clean
energy
and
and
home
energy
retrofit.
I
love
that
and
then
the
data
with
the
the
dashboards.
P
I
do
want
to
make
sure,
as
we
look
at
the
retrofit
program,
that
from
an
equity
lens,
you
know
if
people
are
expected
to
do
the
retrofit
before
they
get
reimbursed
that
may
create
a
barrier
from
an
equity
standpoint.
For
those
that
may
not
be
able
to
pay
ahead
of
time
to
get
reimbursed,
so
I
think
we
just
want
to
be
cognizant
of
that
and
then
connecting
with
youthlink
board
and
bellevue
school
district,
because
I
think
they
have
sustainability,
ambassadors
and-
and
you
know,
our
youth
are
just
amazing.
P
They
have
so
many
ideas,
they're,
so
creative,
so
really
leveraging
that,
and
then
I
hope
that,
as
we
engage
with
the
community,
we're
also
thinking
about
how
to
make
it
fun.
I
mean
I
don't
know.
Maybe
this
sustainability,
bellevue
partnership
can
have
a
mascot
right.
Just
like
I
remember
growing
up
smokey
the
bear
was
all
about
protecting
right,
the
forest.
P
I
remember
the
mayor
and
councilmember
lee
and
I
planting
sequoia
trees
at
crossroad
at
wilberton
park
and
then
being
with
the
300
trees
and
just
seeing
the
excitement
of
people
picking
up
their
tree,
knowing
that
they're
going
to
plant
it
and
do
good
in
our
in
our
communities,
and
so
I'm
just
super
excited
about
where
we're
going
and
the
fact
that
you
know
this
is
about
us
being
a
convener
model
with
kind
of
like
east
side
pathways
and
how
we,
through
the
engagement
with
the
community,
are
going
to
move
towards
the
kind
of
goals
that
we
have
and
moving
with
urgency,
which
is
what
we
talked
about
right
so
anyway,
just
excited
to
get
going,
and
hopefully
we
can
get
back
to
a
place
where
we
can
go
out
and
plant
trees
together,
because
I
think
we
really
are
thirsting
for
that
connection,
and
the
esp
is,
I
think,
the
place
where
we're
going
to
see
that
kind
of
connection
with
our
very
community.
E
Thank
you,
mayor
and
yeah.
E
So
far,
I
think
we're
all
equally
very
excited
about
this
and
jennifer
emil.
Thanks
for
thanks
for
the
update
and
congratulations
on
the
award
and
speaking
of
that
dashboard
jennifer.
Are
we
gonna
see
that
updated
next
quarter
or
two
quarters
from
now?
When
do
you
think
you're
gonna
come
back
to
us
with
that?
E
E
You
know,
subject
matter
experts
and
these
and
these
groups
and
individuals
that
all
want
to
be
part
of
this
solution.
So
just
very
excited
about
where
this,
where
this
is
headed,
quick
question
for
you,
we
did
have
a
an
email
into
the
council
today
about
construction
site
recycling.
E
I
have
to
admit
I
didn't
know
this.
You
know
was
it
was
a
possibility
or
was
limited
in
terms
of
recycling,
but
I
was
wondering:
is
that
does
that
fall
under
the
clean
buildings
act,
or
is
there
a
place
within
the
esi
right
now
that
that
would
fall
under?
And
if
it's
not,
should
we
look
at
incorporating
that
into
the
actual
plan.
Q
Yeah
I
saw
that
email
as
well.
I
haven't
had
a
chance
to
kind
of
fully
look
into
that
issue,
but
so
king
county
does
have
a
construction
and
demolition
waste
ordinance.
That
applies
to
the
whole
county,
not
just
the
unincorporated
areas,
and
then
that
lists
out
specific
materials
that
construction
and
demolition
materials
that
do
need
to
be
recycled.
Q
So
so
that
does
exist
now,
I
think,
are
there
potentially
some
areas
where
it's
a
little
difficult
to
enforce?
I
think
you
know
that
is
probably
the
case.
I'm
not
sure
how
some
of
the
county's
work
around
enforcing
that
has
been
impacted
due
to
you
know,
covet
related
budget
cuts.
They
did
have
some
construction
and
demolition
waste
enforcement
officers
previously,
but
I
think
I
maybe
heard
they
may
not
anymore,
I'm
not
sure.
So,
yes,
that
you
know
there
might
be
some.
Q
There
might
be
some
additional
things.
We,
as
a
city
can
do
to
help
kind
of
just
further
promote
the
county
ordinance
and
provide
some
more
education
around
that
you
know
for
projects
in
bellevue
and
then
also
understand
you
know.
Is
there
anything
else
we
could
do?
But
you
know
we
we
do
have
that
that
ordinance,
that
projects
here
are
required
to
comply
with.
Okay.
Q
A
Yeah,
just
going
off
of
that,
I
think
the
the
goal
was
to
reclaim
some
of
the
old-growth
wood
that
our
older
homes
are
made
of
when
they
are
demolished,
which
would
be
great,
so
I'd
be
interested
in
learning
more
about
that
also.
So
I'm
I
have
three
questions.
I'm
wondering
how
we
partner
with
pse,
to
get
more
easy
charge
stations
in
bellevue.
Q
Yeah,
so
that's
definitely
something
we've
been
working
with
them
on
about
how
we
might
be
able
to
get
some
more
stations
at
city
hall,
also
at
the
bellevue
service
center.
And
then
you
know,
through
the
utilities
and
transportation
commission
they
do
have
the
ability
they
they're
kind
of
running
a
few
different
pilot
programs
right
now
to
put
more
charging
stations
in
their
entire
service
territory.
So
that
is
something
we've
been
working
with
them
on.
A
A
You
know
one
of
the
things
that
I
get
the
most
input
from
our
residents
is
wanting
to
change
the
codes
about
how
many
trees
you
can
cut
down
when
you
build
a
new
home
or
any
kind
of
development.
So
I
wonder
you
know:
can
we
re-examine
those
codes
at
some
point?
Do
we
have
that
on
our
schedule
to
do.
Q
Yeah,
that
is
included
in
the
plan
to
review
the
tree
codes.
I
think,
is
you
know.
Community
development
and
development
services
are
working
on
our
work
plans
for
the
next
couple
years.
Trying
to
you
know,
figure
out
when
to
incorporate
that,
but
that
is
definitely
you
know
something
that's
included
in
the
plan.
A
Thank
you
and
then
going
off
of
what
councilmember
barksdale
said.
I
know
that
bellevue
high
school
has
an
environmental
group
and
I'm
sure
every
high
school
does
so
make
sure
that
we
include
those
students
in
as
well.
That
would
be
great.
