And
whereas
recent
events
have
highlighted
the
historic
and
current
impacts
of
individual
institutional
and
systemic
racism
that
result
in
harmful
disparities
in
education,
employment,
income,
housing,
criminal
justice
and
quality
of
life,
as
well
as
a
sense
of
belonging,
and
whereas
our
community,
like
others
across
the
nation,
has
structures,
systems
and
policies
that
contribute
to
injustice.
Racial
inequality
and
discriminatory
treatment
against
residents
who
are
born
in
another
country
are
black
indigenous
other
people
of
color,
lgbtq
and
other
identifiers,
and
whereas
to
capitalize
on
diversity
as
an
asset.
A
Our
community
must
strive
to
create
a
culture
and
policies
that
ensure
everyone
can
belong
and
thrive
by
addressing
disparities,
countering
hate,
understanding,
history
and
helping
neighbors
come
together.
Now,
therefore,
we,
the
mayors
of
bellevue
issaquah,
kirkland,
rudman
and
samamish
washington
jointly
proclaim
september
18th
through
27th
2020
as
eastside
welcoming
week,
and
then
we
have
a
commendation
and
I
would
like
to
ask
councilmember
leery,
please.
D
Thank
you
by
the
mayor.
Well,
it's
a
sad
that
we
have
seen
the
passing
of
another
great
political
representative
and
also
a
great
man
person
that
truly
have
served
us
for
most
of
his
life.
And
I
remember
myself
included
that
I
got
into
public
service
because
slade
gordon
senator
slay
gorton
told
me
that,
in
order
to
be
representing
yourself
your
interests,
you
need
to
be
directly
participating
in
the
political
process.
So
that's
how
I
got
into
politics.
D
Whereas
senator
gordon
believed
in
developing
young
people-
and
he
frequently
said
my
greatest
legacy-
will
not
be
any
particular
legislation.
But
the
hundreds
of
young
people
who
have
worked
with
me
over
the
years
and
who
have
gone
on
to
become
leaders
themselves.
Whereas
senator
gordon,
never
retired,
continued
to
be
a
respected
force
in
public
affairs.
And
I
was
seen
frequently
in
his
bellevue
area
neighborhood
during
his
daily
walks
with
his
dog
chip.
A
Much
okay,
so
we're
on
to
approving
the
agenda
and
council
member
barksdale
has
asked
to
pull
one
item.
So
I'm
going
to
give
him
a
chance
to
talk
about
that
and
then
I'll
ask
the
deputy
mayor
to
amend
the
the
agenda
through
the
motion.
A
F
You
mayor
the
item.
I
would
like
to
pull
as
resolution
9819
as
the
write-off
of
83
uncollectible
accounts
and
the
reason
is
a
majority
of
the
accounts
and
77
of
the
total
amount
is
related
to
the
related
to
probation
and,
as
liaison
to
the
probation
advisor
board.
I'm
really
interested
in
understanding
what
impact
the
the
delinquent
accounts
may
have
on
not
these
particularly
but
future
ones
or
current
ones
that
are
pending,
may
have
on
probationers
and
so
want
to
understand.
If
there's
anything
there
that
we
could
do
to.
F
If
there's
anything,
we
need
to
do
to
make
sure
that
that
is
equitable
and
not
imposing
a
harsh
burden
on
probationers
who
are
unable
to
pay.
F

This
evening
there
are
four
speakers
who
have
pre-registered
to
speak
for
oral
communications.
They
are
all
for
in
support
of
the
esi
item,
so
unfortunately,
only
three
of
them
pursuant
to
the
council
rules
will
be
able
to
speak.
So
the
first
speaker
this
evening
is
dawn
marsh
and
mr
marsh,
can
you
hear
me
now.
I
Okay,
so
good
evening,
council
members,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak.
I've
made
my
home
in
bellevue
for
the
last
quarter
century.
I
raised
my
two
children
here
and
have
been
profoundly
grateful
for
our
great
schools,
high
quality
of
life
and
the
natural
beauty
that
surrounds
and
inspires
us.
I
I
am
worried
that
the
health
of
our
economy
and
environment
are
facing
very
significant
risks.
Due
to
climate
change.
Few
people
understand
the
true
magnitude
of
the
threat
facing
the
pacific
northwest.
The
us
environmental
protection
agency
made
it
very
clear
on
a
web
page
that
was
removed
shortly
after
the
trump
administration
took
office.
Here's
what
the
webpage
said.
I
Changing
stream
flows
due
to
lower
snowpack
are
likely
to
strain
water
management
and
worsen.
Existing
competition
for
water,
competing
demands
for
water
currently
include
hydropower,
agricultural,
irrigation,
municipal
and
industrial
uses
and
protection
of
ecosystems
and
threatened
or
endangered
species.
I
Increasing
temperatures
and
populations
could
deepen,
demand
and
further
stress
urban
water
supplies
that
are
already
at
risk
of
diminishing
because
of
climate
change.
Forty
percent
of
the
nation's
hydro
power
is
generated
in
the
northwest.
Lower
stream
flows
will
likely
reduce
hydroelectric
supply
and
could
lead
to
large
economic
losses
in
the
region.
Reduced
stream
flows
combined
with
rising
temperatures
and
a
growing
population,
are
raising
concerns
about
the
ability
to
meet
increased
air
conditioning
and
other
electricity
demands.
I
I
I
I
encourage
you
to
consider
this
as
a
baseline
for
bellevue's
climate
action
plan
as
a
vital
hub
of
the
regional
economy,
a
leader
in
diversity
and
a
center
of
technology
and
education.
Bellevue
must
set
an
example
of
environmental
stewardship,
not
just
for
our
region,
but
for
the
country
and
the
world.
That's
what
being
a
world-class
city
is
all
about.
I
J
J
I
love
our
planet
since
the
first
time
I
went
rock
hunting
in
my
backyard
as
an
elementary
schooler
to
when
I
started
studying
the
earth
sciences
more
seriously
in
middle
school,
I've
always
been
drawn
towards
the
earth.
Two
summers
ago
I
had
the
incredible
opportunity
to
participate
in
the
international
earth
science
olympiad
held
in
thailand
as
part
of
team
usa,
where
I
learned
about
the
very
real
and
current
consequences
of
climate
change.
People
are
facing
abroad,
including
the
heat
waves
in
spain
and
flooding
in
bangladesh.
J
I'd
first
like
to
thank
you
all
for
your
hard
work
and
commitment
to
our
city.
I
know
the
pandemic
has
presented
many
challenges
and
obstacles.
I
really
appreciate
the
work
that
the
city
has
been
doing
this
year
to
update
the
environment,
stewardship
strategic
plan
and
reflect
it
ensures
it
reflects
the
desires
of
our
city's
people.
J
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
today
to
speak
about
the
esi
update.
The
climate
crisis
has
already
started
to
permeate
all
aspects
of
our
society,
with
our
health
being
highly
at
risk.
When
I
woke
up
two
days
ago,
I
couldn't
recognize
the
yellow
washed
sky
at
noon
and
the
smoky
haze
settling
around
my
home.
The
air
quality
index
reached
a
high
of
207
designated
very
unhealthy
by
the
american
lung
association.
J
These
past
few
days,
every
bellevue
resident
has
felt
the
harms
and
dangers
brought
upon
by
climate
change.
Wildfires
have
become
more
extensive
and
expansive,
and
we
feel
their
impacts
despite
being
over
200
miles
away.
All
of
this
is
only
just
the
beginning.
We
cannot
let
this
become
the
future.
My
peers
and
I
grow
into
the
environment,
needs
to
be
a
priority.
It
is
imperative
that
we
align
with
critical
goals
set
in
the
updated,
k4c
joint
commitments
and
do
our
best
to
meet
the
carbon
emission
reductions.
J
J
K
Good
evening,
honourable
counsel
and
staff,
I
was
urged
to
speak
to
you
about
the
environment
stewardship
plan
by
a
number
of
bellevue
and
king
county
citizens.
I
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
and
this
is
in
support
of
the
plan
and
we
hope
for
additional
action
to
elaborate
on
the
plan.
My
name
is
philip
schmidt.
Partman
I've
been
a
resident
of
newcastle
for
25
years.
Originally,
I'm
from
germany
been
here
over
30.
for
more
than
two
decades,
I've
been
working
on
an
integrated
waste
management
system
and
the
effects
they
have
on
climate
change.
K
What
started
out
in
1998
as
an
idea
about
how
we
manage
waste
has
turned
into
a
close
collaboration
of
international
experts,
people
that
have
the
education
and
hands-on
experience
in
environment
that
prioritizes
the
protection
protecting
its
citizens
from
environmental
impacts
such
as
landfilling.
The
collaboration
has
now
turned
into
the
institute
for
energy
and
resource
management,
currently
headquartered
in
king
county.
We
work
with
renowned
institute
universities
across
the
u.s
and
europe.
K
My
colleagues
and
I
have
studied
our
local
waste
management
systems
for
decades
and
are
wondering
why
we
stuck
in
the
1980s
the
institute
formed
in
part
to
fill
a
large
and
significant
knowledge,
educational
void
left
by
regional,
national
and
national
entities,
regionals
such
as
king
county,
solar
waste,
washington
state
department
of
ecology
and
others.
On
the
topic
of
waste
management,
we
have
found
a
number
of
reasons
for
their
shortcomings.
Some
are
political.
Some
are
educational,
some
are
special
interests.
Some
are
motivated
by
other
reasons.
K
The
institute's
mission
in
part
is
to
educate
the
public,
provide
them
with
much
needed
scientific
facts
in
order
to
empower
the
public
to
make
educated
choices.
For
example,
there's
no
such
thing
as
a
safe
landfill
and
even
talking
about
the
best
landfill
is
a
and
oxymoron
and
b
grossly
misleading
anybody
put
to
believing
that
landfills
are
any
better
than
what
they
are
holes
in
the
ground
black
boxers
taking
time
barbs.
How
does
landfill
and
waste
management
relate
to
climate
change?
Landfills
do
emit
significant
amounts
of
greenhouse
gases.
K
All
landfills
do,
according
to
ipcc
methane,
is
84
times
more
potent
than
co2,
meaning
it's
85
times
more
damaging
than
co2.
Why
is
this
important
to
us
in
the
cities?
Collaborated
climate
collaboration
and
the
environment
stewardship
program?
When
we
stop
sending
untreated
waste
to
landfills,
we
stop
landfills
from
leeching
toxics
into
our
groundwater
and
the
air
we
breathe.
Thus,
we
turn
a
liability
into
an
opportunity
to
begin
avoiding
waste
manufacturing
program
products
with
a
circular
economy
in
mind,
crater
to
cradle
and
appropriately,
managing
the
toxics
and
non-recyclables.
K
Our
current
based
system
is
neither
sustainable
nor
cheap.
If
you
include
all
externalities,
such
as
environment
impact,
long-term
care
and
if
hundreds
and
thousands
of
years
lost
resources,
the
true
cost
of
landfilling
is
substantially
higher
than
what
we
pay
for
right
now,
the
hidden
costs
come
back
to
us
and
without
the
needed
regulatory
framework,
guidelines
and
expertise,
hundreds
of
millions
of
taxpayer
money
are
continued
to
be
wasted.
We
hope
to
continue
and
work
with
the
council
and
look
forward
for
us
to
that.
You
reach
out
to
us.
K
We
think
thank
you
for
your
time.
On
behalf
of
our
team,
the
citizens,
our
environment
and
humanity,.
B
Thank
you.
The
final
speaker
this
evening
was
court
olson.
However,
we
have
reached
the
maximum
three
speakers
per
side
of
any
one
topic,
so
that
is
the
end
of
oral
communications.
I
would
like
to
mention
that
the
council
has
received
16
written
comments
related
to
the
esi
item
and
those
are
in
your
counsel,
at
inbox.
A
Thank
you.
Did
you
want
to
reach
out
to
anybody
online
to
see
if
there's
anybody
called
in
or
anything
on,
a
different
topic.
B
B
A
F
All
right
so
yeah,
sorry,
so
the
the
comment
I
made
earlier
was
actually
for
this
one,
oh
yeah.
I
them
up
that's
where
so
I
can.
I
can
make
the
comment
on
the
previous
one
if
I
need
to,
but
this
is
the
one
I
wanted
to
understand
more
about
the
impact
of
potential
impact
of
fees
on
probationers,
and
so
as
it
related
to
the
delinquent
accounts
with
uncollectible
accounts.
A
Okay,
now
I'm
confused,
so
that's
okay,
so
you're
making
a
comment
on
an
item
that
we're
not
pulling
right
now.
F
So
sorry
for
resolution,
9819
wanting
to
understanding
staff
to
provide
some
more
information
about
some
of
the
maybe
the
root
cause
of
or
the
potential
impacts
on
probationers
for
these,
not
these
necessarily
but
just
of
how
is
there
something
that
we
may
need
to
revisit
in
our
fee
structure?
F
C
F
L
A
A
A
Thank
you
all.
Those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
opposed.
Okay,
that's
approved,
so
we
have
two
interesting
items
on
our
study
session
list
tonight
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
hearing
both
of
them.
So,
mr
miyake,
can
you
tee
them
up?
Please.
M
Thank
you,
mayor
council
members.
The
first
item
is
actually
a
combination
of
two
items:
it's
in
the
updated
king
county
cities,
climate
collaboration
also
known
as
k4c
joint
commitments,
and
the
second
item
is
a
progress
report
on
our
environmental
stewardship
plan
update
and
just
by
way
of
background
values
signed.
M
M
In
response
to
the
council
priorities
that
were
outlined
in
the
2018-2020
council
priorities,
the
environmental
stewardship
plan
update
was
last
before
council
back
in
november
12th
of
2019
an
update
was
actually
planned
back
in
april,
but
due
to
covid,
we
and
the
restrictions
on
what
was
could
go
forward
to
council
that
got
delayed
until
tonight.
M
M
I'm
sorry,
the
king
county
city's
climate
collaboration,
joint
commitments
to
authorize
the
mayor
to
sign
an
updated
letter
that
we
are
seeking
council
action
and
authorization
for
the
marin
to
sign
that
letter.
No
action
is
being
asked
for
on
the
second
topic,
which
is
an
esi
update.
Joining
us
this
evening
is
jennifer
ewing,
the
environmental
stewardship
program
manager,
as
well
as
the
neil
king,
our
assistant
director
of
planning.
Both
these
individual
staff
members
are
from
the
community
development
department.
H
Thank
you,
city
manager,
miyaki,
good
evening,
mayor
deputy
mayor
members
of
council,
as
city
manager,
miyake
said
we
have
before
you
tonight.
Two
related
topics
that
are
a
key
part
of
our
environmental
planning
framework,
we'll
first
be
providing
an
overview
of
the
updated
k4c
joint
commitments
and
how
bellevue
can
again
sign
on
to
this
document
with
council
direction
as
part
of
our
participation
in
leadership
and
regional
planning.
H
This
is
an
important
opportunity
to
support
the
continuing
work
of
the
k4c
following
council
direction
on
the
k4c
will
then
provide
council
a
status
report
regarding
the
ongoing
work
to
update
the
city's
esi
plan.
This
report
will
highlight
a
few
updates
to
the
council's
november
2019
long-range
targets
that
are
guiding
this
effort,
as
well
as
significant
interaction.
We've
had
with
a
range
of
interested
parties
during
the
spring
and
summer,
even
in
the
covet
environment.
H
N
Great
thank
you
emil
good
evening,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor
newinghouse
and
members
of
the
council.
N
Thanks
for
the
opportunity
to
present
this
evening,
as
emil
mentioned,
we
will
be
seeking
action
from
council
to
authorize
the
mayor
to
sign
the
updated
k4c
joint
commitments
and
for
the
first
topic
and
then
for
the
second
topic,
we'll
be
providing
an
update
on
our
work
on
the
environmental
stewardship
plan.
Update
and
we've.
We've
separated
these
into
two
topics
for
this
evening.
N
So
to
start
things
off
for
the
k4c
joint
commitments
update.
As
mr
miyaki
noted,
the
k4c
was
launched
back
in
2012
and
bellevue
joined
in
2014..
The
k4c
stands
again
for
the
king
county
city's
climate
collaboration.
N
It's
a
voluntary
but
formal
collaboration
between
cities
in
king
county
and
and
the
county
of
course,
and
more
recently,
the
port
of
seattle
has
joined
as
well.
So
the
city
of
bellevue
joined
the
k4c
in
2014.
N
And
the
joint
commitments
are
again
more
of
a
voluntary
but
formal
agreement
to
endorse
a
set
of
principles
for
collaboration
and
policy
goals
at
the
county
level,
which
also
define
shared
priorities
and
a
suite
of
actions
for
making
progress
towards
those
goals.
One
of
the
key
principles
of
collaboration
in
the
original
joint
commitments
was
the
ability
for
k4c
members
to
determine
what
policies
or
programs
they
want
to
implement
locally.
N
That
principle
for
collaboration
remains
in
the
updated
joint
commitments
and
the
commitments
were
updated
at
the
end
of
last
year
to
reflect
a
kind
of
a
number
of
updates
since
2014,
some
more
recent
state
legislation
that
has
passed
let's
see
last
year,
the
clean
energy
transformation
act
and
the
clean
buildings
bill,
which
are
pretty
significant
pieces
of
legislation
related
to
renewable
energy
and
energy
efficiency.
N
The
updated
joint
commitments
have
been
described
more
as
a
refresh,
not
like
a
major
overhaul
and
that
to
date,
they've
been
signed
by
10
of
the
17
partners
and
similar
to
bellevue.
Some
cities
were
able
to
get
them
signed.
Pre-Covered
and
other
cities
are,
you
know,
continuing
to
work,
the
joint
commitments
through
their
their
process
and
looking
to
get
them
on
the
agenda
for
their
councils.
N
N
In
the
analysis,
seven
of
the
11
joint
commitments
fully
align
with
bellevue's
policies
or
goals
and
then
four
of
the
joint
commitments
we
we
classified
as
partially
aligning.
So
we
in
most
of
the
cases
had
some
similar
language,
but
maybe
bellevue
doesn't
have
any
policies
that
fully
align
with
some
of
the
joint
commitments
and
then
the
the
idea
would
be
a
number
of
the
areas
where
we're
not
fully
in
alignment.
Some
of
those
topics
could
be
looked
at
as
part
of
our
regular
legislative
agenda
process.
N
We
don't
currently
have
any
police
statement
policy
statements
around
a
clean
fuel
standard,
so
that
might
be
a
topic
that
council
would
want
to
direct
staff
to
look
at
for
future
legislative
agenda
updates
and
then
again,
just
to
to
reiterate
the
principle
for
collaboration
in
the
joint
commitments
related
to
flexibility
is
still
there
and
in
fact
the
the
language
of
it
didn't
change,
but
they
they
moved
it
up
in
the
list
of
principles,
for
collaboration
to
really
kind
of
underscore.
N
So
the
recommendation
is
for
council
to
sign
the
updated
joint
commitments
and
continue
engagement
with
the
k4c.
N
You
know
over
the
past
six
years,
I
think
we've
seen
quite
a
few
benefits
from
our
participation
in
the
k4c
at
the
staff
level,
from
sharing
information
on
best
practices
and
other
resources
and
at
more
of
the
policy
level
having
a
shared
voice
with
other
local
governments
in
the
region.
On
on
various
issues.
N
So
at
this
point
we
will
pause
and
ask
for
action
and
an
input
from
the
council
to
authorize
the
mayor
to
sign
the
updated
k4c
joint
commitments.
Thank.
A
You
very
much
so
I
was
lucky
to
be
chosen
by
county
king
county
executive,
dow
constantine
to
be
the
bellevue
representative
on
k4c.
When
I
first
came
on
the
council
in
2014,
and
I
remember
it
took
a
while
to
sign
on
to
the
first
letter
and
after
we
did
it,
we
broke
a
log
jam
and
all
the
other
cities
in
the
county
who
hadn't
already
signed,
ended
up
signing.
A
So
we've
been
a
proud
member
of
this
collaboration
now
since
that
time,
and
this
isn't
that
different
from
what
we
originally
signed
on
to
and
now
councilmember
zahn
is
also
on
the
k4c
collaboration
committee
with
me,
and
so
it's
been
a
pleasure
to
serve
with
two
of
us
on
there
we're
the
only
city
that
has
two
representatives.
A
So
I'm
going
to
ask
for
questions
comments
in
the
order
of
council
members
on
council
member
robertson,
council,
member
stokes,
council,
member
lee
council,
member
barksdale,
deputy
mayor
noon
house
and
then
myself.
So
starting
with
council
members
on.
O
I
think
that
it's
a
exciting
collaboration,
because
I
think,
as
we
can
all
agree,
our
environment
has
no
city
boundaries
so
to
the
degree
that
we
can
collaborate
amongst
all
of
the
cities
in
king
county,
then
we
can
share
best
practices
and
we
can
learn
from
each
other
so
and
king
county
has
also
been
working
on
their
own
climate
action
toolkit
that
we
can
take
a
look
at
and
decide
which
one
of
these
different
tools
makes
sense
for
bellevue
to
use.
So
I
think
that
makes
a
lot
of
sense.
O
The
fact
that
the
recommitment
letter
has
the
continued
flexibility
means
that
we
are
allowed.
We
will
choose
what
we
want
to
adopt
within
our
city
as
well
as
collaborate
and
learn
from
other
cities.
So
I'm
very
excited,
and
I
would
hope
that
our
all
of
my
fellow
colleagues
would
support
the
recommitment
of
the
k4c
for
the
city
of
bellevue
and
that
we
are
also
encouraging
other
cities
in
king
county
that
are
currently
not
a
member
of
k4c
to
also
sign
on
as
well.
So,
thank
you.
G
Thank
you,
I'm
supportive
of
signing
on
on
the
agreement
as
well.
I
appreciate
the
acknowledgement
of
the
continued
flexibility
that
all
cities
really
need
to
make
sure
that
they
can
adopt
and
create
policies
that
fit
their
their
city.
So
I
did
have
one
question,
though,
and
that
was
the
change
under
the
principles
for
collaboration.
G
It
talks
about
having
meetings
twice
a
year
and
staff
meetings
monthly.
Is
that
just
basically
capturing
what
our
current
practices
are.
N
Yes,
I
don't
think
that
was
ever
really
spelled
out
in
the
original
joint
commitments
in
terms
of
sort
of
the
level
of
engagement
and
how
frequently
the
elected
officials
would
meet
and
how
frequently
the
staff
would
meet.
So
that
has
been
the
practice
for
the
past
year
or
two,
but
I
think
it's
just
trying
to
formalize
that
intent
a
bit
more.
G
Okay
well
great,
and
I
would
also
point
out
that
this
is
consistent
with
the
county-wide
comp
plan
policies
which
were
in
the
packet
as
people
know.
I'm
a
member
of
the
growth
management
planning
council
that
helped
recommend
those
and
our
city
via
our
council,
has
ratified
those
for
the
city.
So
it's
all
very
consistent
with
past
acts
by
the
city
and
I'm
supportive
of
continuing
on.
So
thank
you.
Councilmember.
E
Yeah,
I
too
I'm
very
excited
about
this
going
forward
and
endorse
it.
E
I
think
it's
important,
obviously
for
bellevue
to
continue
to
be
a
leader
in
the
region
and
if
we're
not
at
the
table,
we're
not
able
to
lead,
and
so
I
think
the
logic
action
to
take
is
to
agree
and
sign
this,
and
I
do
think
it
provides
us
with
some
incentive
to
up
our
game
to
look
at
these
areas
that
were
not
quite
in
sync,
with
most
of
the
other
cities
and,
as
you
know,
I've
in
in
talking
about
this
area
several
times
and
last
year,
and
when
we
had
some
discussions
about
it.
E
My
my
sense
of
this
is
one
of
the
you
know
kind
of
go
big
things
and
we,
this
is
an
extremely
important
topic
and
obviously
we're
experiencing
some
bit
of
some
some
of
the
unfortunate
aspects
of
climate
change,
and
I
think
it's
important
for
bellevue
to
be
there
and
be
represented
and
be
active,
and
I
agree
with
my
two
colleagues
comments
before
me
and
I'm
ready
to
approve
it.
D
D
You
know
many
years
that
you
know
we
haven't
done
enough
and
we
haven't
had
the
specific
plans
and
we
have
that
specific
targets
and
goals
that
we
are
doing
enough
to
make
sure
that
they
happen,
and
so
I
think
it's
important,
especially
you
know
listening
to
the
speakers
this
evening,
even
though
someone
that
was
as
young
as
17
years
old,
the
future,
you
know
it's
going
to
be
with
a
lot
more
people,
a
lot
more
of
everything
and
that's
result.
Environment
is
going
to
be
at
risk.
D
So
we
need
to
do
something
extraordinary
and
so
to
do
that.
Well,
you
know.
Also
environment
is
a
regional
thing,
it's
not
just
pelvis
problem
or
seattle's
problem
or
renter's
problem.
If
we
all
you
know,
it
doesn't
have
boundary,
so
we
need
to
all
work
together.
That
makes
sense,
but
it's
important
also
recognize.
I
think
this
is
what
this
provision
gave
us.
We
have
our
own
unique.
We
have
our
own
specific
requirements
needs
because
we
have
different
problems
wherever
you
need
problem,
we
have
to
solve
it.
D
You
know
with
with
that
perspective,
so
I
think
it's
important,
but
it
of
course
it's
all
connected,
so
I
think
give
us
the
freedom
and
the
freedom,
I
believe,
give
us
the
the
ability
to
do
as
much
as
we
can,
and
I
think
that's
important
to
note
so
I
like
the
agreement
working
with
king
county
with
other
regional
players.
D
At
the
same
time,
we
it's
not
one
shoe
that
fits
all
solutions
whatever
we
can
do
it's
important
to
us
and
we
do
have
to
you
know
be
more
mindful
of
that
and
we
need
to
collaborate,
cooperate
work
together.
So
I
support
this
and
I
believe
this
is
a
very
good
approach.
Moving
forward
thanks
to
the
mayor
and
to
council
members
on
for
representing
the
city,
I
hope
that
you
will
represent
our
perspective
and
what
is
you
know
our
ability
to
accomplish
to
the
best
we
can.
Thank
you.
F
All
right,
thank
you,
mayor
without
question.
I
support
this.
It's
it's
encouraging
to
see.
Excuse
me,
the
evolution
and
the
improvements
to
the
commitments,
so
that
so
that
we're
continuing
to
update
based
on
you
know
current
realities
and
and
needs.
So
I'm
excited
about
continuing
to
work
with
the
other
jurisdictions
and
look
forward
to
voting
in
support.
C
Thank
you
mayor
and
thank
you
and
council
members
on
for
representing
the
city
of
bellevue,
so
well
in
this
organization
at
k4c.
Absolutely
we
need
to
continue
our
commitment
to
kfc,
and
this
in
this
joint
commitment,
appreciate
the
flexibility
that
this
commitment
allows
us.
It
appreciates
the
fact
that
not
one
size
fits
all
with
every
one
of
these
different
commitments:
fighting
the
the
important
issue
of
climate
and
climate
change,
so
absolutely
100
percent
in
alignment
and
agreement
with
moving
forward
with
this,
and
it's
got
my
approval
for
sure.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
deputy
mayor.
You
know
this
commitment,
this
letter
of
commitment.
It
really
is
a
catalyst
and
it
was
a
catalyst
four
years
ago,
when
we
or
seven
years
ago,
when
we
first
signed
on-
and
it
really
was
a
catalyst
to
invest
our
resources
and
our
energies
into
coming
up
with
a
plan,
and
it
gave
us
accountability
to
continue
with
that
and
and
part
of
the
renewal
of
this
commitment.
Is
that
accountability?
A
So
I
thank
my
colleagues
for
being
supportive
of
sign
signing
on
to
this,
and
I
will
very
proudly
sign
on
to
that.
So,
let's,
let's
take
a
mo
a
vote
anyway.
Is
there
a
motion
to
sign.
I
N
Thank
you
all
right,
so
shifting
gears
now
we'll
talk
about
a
separate
but
related
topic,
which
is
our
environmental
stewardship
plan
update,
as
emil
mentioned.
We
were
last
before
council
on
this
back
in
november
of
last
year,
and
then
we
were
supposed
to
return
in
april
of
this
year,
but
that
was
postponed
due
to
covid
related
restrictions
on
public
meetings.
N
In
that
time
we
have
made
a
significant
amount
of
progress
which
we're
excited
to
give
you
a
summary
of
tonight
as
a
recap
from
the
direction
we
heard
last
from
council.
N
Back
in
november
of
last
year,
we
presented
options
and
a
recommendation
for
various
targets
for
the
plan
which
I'll
I'll
recap
in
a
minute,
we
heard
from
council
a
desire
to
go
bold,
which
was
sort
of
the
the
best
practice
or
middle
but
still
ambitious
level
of
targets
and
to
also
identify
opportunities
where
we
might
be
able
to
pursue
more
leading-edge
goals
and
targets.
N
We
heard
a
desire
from
council
and
also
through
our
public
outreach
and
engagement,
to
develop
some
shorter
term
targets
which
we'll
share
with
you
this
evening,
and
we
heard
you
know
a
lot
of
support
for
continuing
to
build
on
our
work
to
date
and
our
foundation
of
success
and
and
to
really
expand
on
that
work.
We
received
direction
from
council
to
engage
with
the
boards
and
commissions
and
to
continue
our
public
outreach,
and
we
also
heard
from
council
a
desire
to
continue
to
lead
by
example,
through
our
city
operations.
N
Then
we
moved
into
reviewing
our
goals
and
targets
and
assessing
best
practices,
around
goals
and
targets
and
then
coming
up
with
some
recommendations
for
that
and
then
what
we've
been
working
on
really
since
the
beginning
of
the
year
is,
is
really
looking
at
strategies
and
actions
to
help
us
achieve
our
goals
and
targets.
N
We've
obviously
had
to
kind
of
push
things
out
a
little
bit
due
to
covid,
but
we
have
been
making
progress
over
the
past
several
months.
We
did
do
our
outreach
in
the
spring.
We
started
on
march
3rd,
which
was
the
day
before
the
county
band
all
large
gatherings,
and
then
we
we
just
shifted
our
outrage
to
more
of
an
online
format.
N
We've
had
some
meetings
with
boards
and
commissions.
We
did
an
initial
round
of
boards
and
commissions
presentations
in
january
and
february,
got
through
several
of
them
before
the
the
boards
and
commissions
had
to.
You
know,
pause
their
work
for
a
little
bit
and
then
we've
been
resuming
the
boards
and
commission
presentations
this
summer,
while
at
the
same
time
really
studying
the
results
of
our
outreach
and
developing
the
draft
plan,
and
then
the
the
plan
now
will
be
to
release
a
draft
for
public
comment.
N
N
I
won't
go
through
all
of
these
in
detail,
but
just
to
to
kind
of
refresh
your
memory
so
for
the
five
focus
areas
of
the
plan,
which
you
can
see
here:
materials
management
and
waste,
mobility,
energy,
natural
systems
and
climate.
We
defined
some
higher
level
vision
statements
for
those,
and
then
we
came
up
with
the
more
numerical
targets
which
are,
you
know,
pretty
well
aligned
with
best
practices
with
the
k4c
joint
commitments
and
and
with
other
neighboring
communities
within
the
region.
N
We
recommended
the
2050
targets
and
then
heard
from
council,
like
I
mentioned,
before,
a
desire
to
be
a
little
more
on
the
leading
edge
when
possible.
So
we
looked
at
for
community-wide
targets
and
also
our
municipal
operations.
Where
could
we
potentially
make
these
a
little
bit
more
aggressive?
So
we
increase
the
electric
vehicle
target
to
have
that
be
100.
N
So
a
goal
for
you
know
by
2050
all
of
the
vehi,
all
of
the
light
duty
vehicles
in
bellevue
will
be
electric
and
then
we
also
in
working
with
the
parks
department,
increase
the
walkable
access
to
parks,
goal
to
100
of
residents,
and
that
was
previously
at
90
percent
and
then
also
in
response
to
council
direction.
We
developed
a
set
of
20
30
goals
and
targets
which
pretty
much
put
us
on
a
linear
path
to
get
to
the
2050
goals.
N
With
the
exception
of
the
electric
vehicle
target,
we're
anticipating,
you
know,
we
have
a
more
modest
target
for
2030,
because
we,
you
know
from
our
research,
we'll
be
seeing
a
lot
more
electric
vehicles
on
the
market,
kind
of
especially
more
in
the
out
years
and
then
I'll
just
quickly
note.
We
have
kind
of
a
placeholder
here
for
healthy
streams.
N
N
So
we're
really
kind
of
waiting
for
that
effort
to
kind
of
give
us
a
better
sense
of
where
we're
at
with
our
streams
and
then
come
up
with
some
recommendations
around
what
are
the
the
best
metrics
to
be
using
to
really
gauge
our
stream
health,
because
there's
kind
of
a
wide
variety
of
different
ways.
We
look
at
that,
so
it
will
be.
You
know,
going
forward
in
the
future.
It'll
be
something
we'll
report
on,
but
waiting
for
some
more
recommendations
from
utilities
there
and
then
on
the
municipal
operations
side.
N
We
also
updated
our
goal
and
target
around
light
duty:
electric
vehicles
for
our
fleet,
so
in
looking
at
what
we
thought
was
feasible
on
the
community
side,
we
also
working
with
our
our
fleet
managers,
decided
to
recommend
increasing
our
fleet
goal
and
then
also
develop
some
30
20
30
targets
as
well,
and
we
have
another
place
holder
here
for
healthy
forests.
N
Our
parks
department
is
in
the
middle
of
doing
a
forest
health
assessment
and
that's
using
a
new
methodology
so
again
trying
to
kind
of
with
the
new
new
and
improved
ways
of
measuring
forest
health.
Better
understand
where
we're
at
and
then
where
we
want
to
be.
N
So
we
wanted
to
kind
of-
I
guess,
re
re-ground,
you
all
and
kind
of
the
the
framework
for
the
plan,
which
you
know
is
really
to
build
on
our
foundation
of
success,
establish
some
medium
and
long-term
goals,
but
the
the
focus
of
the
plan
is
really
on
developing.
Oh
felix,
developing
a
set
of
actions.
Sorry,
hey
felix!
No
I'm
on
a
presentation.
You
can't
go
upstairs!
Please
sorry!
N
The
focus
of
the
plan
is
really
on
developing
a
set
of
actions
for
the
next
five
years.
So
we
are
looking
to
establish
a
long-term
vision,
but
really
the
focus
is
on
what
what
we
can.
We
think
we
can
accomplish
over
the
next
five
years,
recognizing
also
that
we
will
need
to
you
know,
seek
funding
for
for
these
actions,
they're,
not
necessarily
all
funded
right.
Now
I
apologize
again
for
the
interruption.
A
N
Problem:
okay,
so
another
thing
that
maybe
you've
kind
of
seen
a
bit
in
the
news
is
just
some
discussion
around
sort
of
lessons
learned
from
covid
and
how
that
applies
to
climate
change
and
also
some
thinking
around
how
economic
recovery
and
sustainability
can
be
more
linked.
N
N
How
might
we,
you
know,
support
job
growth
and
really
consider
economic
recovery
in
the
timing
of
when
we
might
want
to
look
at
implementing
some
of
the
actions
in
our
plan
and
then
just
kind
of
looking
at
how
we
can
also
sustainability
might
support
economic
recovery,
such
as
how
you
know
how
an
energy
efficiency
retrofit
could
support
a
small
business
and
helping
them
save
energy
on
their
or
save
money
on
their
electricity
bill.
N
N
So,
to
summarize
quickly
the
public
engagement,
like
I
said
we
were
able
to
have
an
open
house
on
march
3rd.
After
that
we
did
have
to
shift
to
online
outreach,
which
was,
I
think
ours
was
probably
one
of
the
first
city.
Projects
to
you
know,
do
a
wholesale
switch
to
online
public
engagement,
which
overall,
I
would
say,
went
pretty
well.
We
really
tried
to
encourage
people
to
take
the
online
survey
that
we
had
where
we
received
over
600
responses.
N
N
All
of
these
to
really
kind
of
gauge
input
level
of
support
of
some
of
the
different
actions
we
were
considering
for
the
plan
in
terms
of
how
we
tried
to
reach
out
to
people,
you
know
primarily
through
a
lot
of
our
our
typical
channels,
sort
of
all
of
our
online
social
media
channels,
facebook,
twitter,
nextdoor,
email
blasts
to
people
who
had
signed
up
for
an
environmental
stewardship
email
list,
but
also
folks
on
our
gov
delivery
list
and
and
other
groups
like
folks
who
participated
in
bellevue
essentials,
who
you
know,
have
expressed
an
interest
in
staying
involved
and
different
planning
efforts.
N
We
also
tried
to
do
some
targeted
outreach
and
engagement
to
people
using
facebook
ads
or
boosting
posts,
which
is
you
can
kind
of
tailor
those
to
different
demographics.
So
we
were
really
trying
to
engage
more
with
sort
of
a
younger
demographic.
So,
in
our
survey
we
actually
had
about
48
of
the
participants
were
under
the
age
of
30..
N
N
N
We
did
find
with
some
of
the
actions,
in
particular
in
the
mobility
in
land
use
section
that
there
were
some
concerns
around
some
of
the
actions
and-
and
I
think
also
just
you
know
some
confusion
around
some
of
the
intent
of
them.
So
we
we
did
some
work
to
really
kind
of
fine-tune
the
the
scope
and
intent
of
the
actions.
N
We
also
asked
folks
what
potential
actions
do
you
think
are
most
important
for
the
city
to
work
on
so
for
people
to
pick
their
top
five
actions.
N
We
heard
banning
single-use
plastics
developing
what
we're
now
referring
to
as
a
multi-modal
implementation
plan,
looking
at
our
tree
codes,
better
access
to
home
energy,
retrofit
resources
and
then
really
targeting
land
acquisition
to
help
us
meet
our
walkable
access
to
park.
Schools
where
we're
the
top
five,
but
we
really
kind
of
as
you
can
see,
it's
sort
of
a
the
priorities
are
kind
of
across
the
board,
so
those
ones
kind
of
emerged
as
some
of
the
highest
priorities.
But
I
think
there
were
kind
of
support
for
a
number
of
different
actions.
N
And
then
in
in
parallel
to
doing
the
outreach
and
engagement,
we
really
went
through
a
process
of
doing
a
multi-criteria
analysis
working
with
our
consultant
team
to
look
at
the
relative
costs
and
impacts,
and
benefits
of
you
know
really
a
range
of
different
types
of
actions
from
policies,
programs
and
different
kinds
of
projects,
and
also
really
looked
at
okay.
What
what's
everything
we
we've
been
working
on
since
the
last
plan?
What's
the
progress
we've
made
and
what
would
be
some
logical
next
steps
for
some
of
that
work?
N
In
addition
to
that,
we
performed,
or
the
consultant
team,
performed
an
emissions
reduction
analysis
for
us
so
looking
at
where
our
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
where
they
would
go
kind
of
without
any
action,
that's
considered
kind
of
like
the
business
as
usual
case,
then
we
looked
at
okay.
Where
is
it?
We
want
to
go
with
our
targets
and
then
what
are
some
of
the
the
high
level
strategies
to
help
us
get
there?
N
N
N
So
in
terms
of
next
steps,
what
we're
working
on
is
finalizing
the
draft
plan
with
the
goal
to
release
that
later
in
september,
for
public
comment
and
then
we'll
we're
planning
on
returning
to
council
in
november
for
council
to
review
the
draft
plan
and
provide
input
and
then
with
the
opportunity
for
council
to
to
have
that
plan
back
at
around
the
end
of
the
year.
For
adoption.
N
A
O
Yes,
thank
you
mayor.
Well,
first
of
all,
I
want
to
say
jennifer.
Thank
you
so
much.
I
feel
like,
as
we've
been
working
from
home,
the
team
has
done
so
much
work
right
in
terms
of
engagement,
pulling
all
of
this
information
together,
so
that
we
can
really
see
that
here
are
the
different
actions
that
we
can
be
taking
and
what
are
the
communities
thoughts
around
that?
So
I
really
appreciate
that
because
I
think
that,
ultimately,
these
action
plans
are
not
just
the
city's
plans
right.
O
We
have
our
own
municipal
actions,
but
it's
really
the
community's
plan
and
to
the
degree
that
the
community
is
all
in,
for
what
we
want
to
do.
That's
how
we're
going
to
make
the
impacts.
It's
our
community,
it's
our
business
community,
it's
the
people
that
live
here,
and
so
I
appreciate
that.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
reaching
out
and
working
with
all
the
boards
and
commissions,
because
I
think
that
when
I
brought
that
up
late
last
year,
you
know
it
seemed
like
at
that
time
we
were
maybe
doing
a
little
more
targeted
outreach.
O
So
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
I
think
all
of
the
areas
can
contribute
towards
our
climate
action
goals.
So
I
really
thank
you
for
that.
A
couple
of
questions
I
do
have-
and
that
is
that
you
know
I
I
think
about
on
the
on
the
waste
reduction.
One
a
lot
of
what
we
had
heard
previously
is
that
the
multi-family
area
is
one
that
is,
can
be
a
little
harder
to
reach.
O
So
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
we
were
able
to
reach
19
renters,
but
I'm
wondering
if
we
could
do
a
little
bit
more
in
that
area,
because
I
believe
that
we're
about
half
and
half
in
terms
of
renters
and
homeowners,
so
it
sure,
seems
like
there's
a
large
mix
that
we
haven't
reached.
Yet
I'm
also
curious
about
the
geographical
mix.
O
So
I'd
I'd
like
to
learn
more
about
that,
and
then
thank
you
for
talking
about
some
of
the
covet
effects
so
because
I
do
think
that
that
is
one
of
the
things
that
we
may
not
completely
understand,
which
is,
as
we
think,
about
how
we
might
work
and
play
today
during
covid
versus
as
we
emerge
from
it.
Will
our
lifestyles
be
slightly
different?
Will
our
work
styles
be
slightly
different,
and
so
how
that
will
contribute
to
this?
O
I
think,
will
be
really
really
important
and,
and
then
my
last
point
is
that
we've
been
getting
a
lot
of
comments,
and
it
seems
to
me
that
a
lot
of
those
comments
are
really
asking
the
council
to
really
move
more
towards
the
leading
edge
than
the
bold
action
and
goals.
O
N
Sure
yeah,
I
guess
I
would
note
that
you
know
some
of
the
goals
I
would
say,
really
are
already
at
the
leading
edge,
so
the
100
renewable
energy,
the
100
electric
vehicles,
walkable
access
to
parks
for
some
of
the
others,
the
I'm
trying
to
think
some
of
the
like
the
drive
alone
rate
type
of
goal.
We'd
have
to
do
a
little
more
analysis
around
what
you
know.
What
might
be
feasible.
N
I
would
say
you
know
these
are,
on
the
whole,
all
pretty
ambitious
goals,
so
it
might
be
we'd
have
to
see
kind
of
to
what
extent
it
might
be
feasible
to
to
adjust
some
of
them.
But
I
think,
what's
the
goals
and
targets
really
help
to
kind
of
define
help
us
define
where
we
want
to
go,
but
really,
I
think,
what's
going
to
be
most
important,
is
the
actual
actions
in
the
plan
and
and
what
we're
going
to
do
to
get
us
there.
O
Yeah
but
the
goals,
thank
you
for
that,
and
yet
I
think
the
goals
actually
help
propel
us
for
some
innovation.
Some
drive
some
creativity
and
so
to
the
degree
that
we
can
do
that,
and
perhaps
look
at
where
some
of
the
partnerships
are
that
we
don't
currently
have
that.
We
want
to
grow
to
move
us
in
that
direction.
Even
more
so
thank
you.
G
Robertson
thanks
great
presentation,
jennifer
and
thanks
for
the
discussion
about
the
goals,
I
agree
with
most
of
what
councilmember
zahn
said,
with
the
exception
of
setting
unachievable
goals,
I
don't
think
that
that's
ever
anything
we
should
do
as
because
all
you
do
is
you
set
yourself
up
for
failure
and
then
10
years
down
the
road,
there's
articles
and
graphs
about
how
much
we
missed
the
mark,
setting
something
a
little
bit
more
than
we
think
is
reasonable.
G
So
I
think
that
that's
a
history
and
a
culture
that
we
should
continue
and
I
think
that
setting
bold
goals
is
great,
even
leading
edge
if
we
think
we
can
do
them,
but
ones
that
are
no
chance,
I
think,
is
a
bad
policy.
So
so
I
think
that
there's
the
goals
are
set,
I
think
the
goals
are
set.
Some
of
them
are
gonna,
be
very,
very
difficult
to
reach.
G
So
I
had
a
couple
questions
about
the
survey
and
then
I
had
a
couple
comments
about
waste
and
compost
the
survey
and,
by
the
way,
great
job
you
guys
were
the
more
the
leading
edge
of
the
city
in
doing
outreach
in
the
postcode
environment.
So
I
know
that
we're
going
to
be
finding
all
sorts
of
new
ways
to
communicate
and
connect
with
our
residents
and
stakeholders.
So
I
think
that
that's
super
I'm
wondering
how
many
of
the
people
that
that
responded
were
residents
and
if
that's
something
we
tracked.
N
Yes,
we
did
track
how
many
were
residents.
I
don't
think
I
have
that
information
off
the
top
of
my
head,
though
we
we
can
get
back
to
you
at
that
we
asked.
Do
you
live
in
bellevue
work
in
bellevue
or
or
both?
So
I
think
the
majority
of
the
respondents
were
people
who
live
in
bellevue.
N
I
don't
recall
off
the
top
of
my
head,
though,
how
many
people
responded
who
were
not
residents?
We
did
definitely
try
to
focus
our
engagement
more
with
people
who
live
in
bellevue.
N
G
Yeah
business
owners
and
whatnot
the
I'm
wondering
if
the
next
time
we
do
because
so
many
of
these
outreach
is
self-selected.
Okay,
so
you
so
do
we
don't
always
necessarily
get
a
statistically
significant
look
at
what
the
people
who
live
and
work
and
own
businesses
in
bellevue
think
maybe
we
do?
Maybe
we
don't,
but
I'm
wondering
when
we
do
do
the
statistically
significant
surveying
work
like
we
do
for
the
city's
budget.
N
Yes,
there
are
some
questions
in
the
city
budget
related
to
the
environment.
There
is
a
question
around
you
know
of
some
of
the
the
focus
areas
of
the
of
the
council
in
our
city
work.
What
are
some
of
your
priorities,
and
what
do
you
think
you
know?
Are
they
being
funded
sufficiently
or
could
it
be
funded
more
and
I
don't
have
the?
I
don't,
have
it
right
in
front
of
me,
but
we
could
follow
up
with
you
on
this.
N
There
is
a
question
where
people
rate
the
environment
pretty
high,
but
then
actually
say
they'd
like
to
see
the
city
doing
more.
So
it's
it's
a
higher
level
question
like
that,
but
yeah
we
do
have
that
in
there.
G
Yeah
I'd
love
to
get
that
information,
because
I
I
and
I
think
the
surveys,
even
though
they're
self-selected
or
still
meaningful.
Finally,
I'd
like
to
just
make
a
comment
about
the
waste
we
talked
about
this
when
you
were
before
us.
I
think
when
we
were
still
meeting
in
person,
it
seems
like
an
age
ago,
but
on
the
waste
of
if
we
are
getting
to
the
point
where
we
are
getting
to
be
a
zero
waste.
G
I
think
that
there's
two
things
that
we're
gonna
need
to
consider
on
a
policy
basis
on
how
to
deal
with
that.
One
is
we're:
gonna
need
to
change
our
garbage
rates
because
our
garbage
rates
are
based
fully
on
garbage
people,
don't
pay
for
recycle
people,
don't
pay
for
yard
waste,
and
if
there
is
zero
garbage,
then
no
we
will
not
have
anyone
to
pick
it
up,
because
it
is
not
based
on
that.
G
So
I
know
that
we
have
six
more
years
or
seven
more
years
in
the
current
contract,
but
that's
something
that
we're
going
to
need
to
consider
looking
and
turning
up
the
goals
with
that
solid
waste
funding
mechanism.
So
that's
number
one
number
two:
the
state
legislature
passed
a
law
recently.
I
I
think
it
was
encouraging
or
requiring
cities
to
use.
Compost
in
our
public
works.
Public
works
contract
where
appropriate,
and
we
have
we.
G
We
have
the
cedar
grove
who
are
very
involved
they're
a
provider
for
bellevue,
and
I
just
want
to
encourage
us
to
start
using,
because
if
we
want
everyone
to
send
their
yard
waste
and
food
waste
for
composting,
it
needs
to
go
back
into
the
earth
at
some
point
once
it's
been
composted
and
I
think
that
we
should
be
part
of
that
solution.
G
So
I
would
encourage
us
to
look
at
that
as
we're
doing
public
works
contracting
for
parks
or
whatever
that
we
would
use
composted
soil,
for
I
think
that
that
would
be
a
really
good
greening
of
our
contracting
processes.
Thanks.
A
Okay,
councilmember
stokes.
E
Yeah,
I
really
appreciate
the
conversation
and
reading
over
the
reports.
You
did
that
you've
really
done
a
great
amount
of
work,
very,
very
impressive
in
the
in
your
approach
and
the
results
you
got
from
this.
E
So
I
think,
when
add
on
to
other
comments
made
about
the
showing
how
we
can
really
increase
community
outreach,
we
always
do
better,
but
I
think
you've
upped
up
the
of
the
game
on
that
and
I
thought
it
was
interesting
going
through
and
looking
at
some
of
these
and
some
some
of
the
way
people
wanted
to
approach
this
the
concerns
back
and
forth.
I
think
it
was
good.
E
As
you
know,
I
I
believe
very
much
in
the
you
know:
go
big
or
go
home
and
I
I
am
worried
about.
If
we
don't
go
big
as
we
need
to,
we
may
not
have
a
home
to
go
to
when
it
comes
down
to
it.
E
So
I
think
that's
that's
something
to
keep
in,
because
things
are
changing
and
we
bellevue
should
be
on
the
cutting
edge,
should
be
a
leader
in
this,
and
I
unders
you
know
and
appreciate
the
concerns
about
not
being
too
ambitious,
not
going
doing
something
that,
in
the
long
run,
can't
be
done.
E
But
that's
always
you
have
to
look
at
the
risk
of
that,
but
we
have
a
beautiful
downtown
park
that
the
same
conversation
happened
at
the
time
many
years
ago
and
it
would
have
been
real
easy
not
to
have
that
and
it
might
have
failed.
E
There
are
a
lot
of
things
like
that,
so
you
know
it's
a
balance
and
I
think
we
need
to
continue
to
have
a
conversation,
and
some
of
us
will
push
more
than
others,
but
the
conversation
is
very,
very
important
to
have
that
and
to
really
keep
in
mind
that
and
bellevue
has
said.
Bellevue
is
an
ambitious
city.
It's
what
it
is
today,
because
it
has
been
very
ambitious
and
has
taken
risk.
So
again,
I
think
that's
something
we
should
always
remember.
E
We
should
we
are,
and
can
be
even
more
so
a
leader
in
this
area,
because
it
is
so
vital
to
us
going
forward
it's
vital
to
our
economies
and
vital
vital
to
our
health,
our
people
and
it's
vital
to
the
health
of
the
earth.
So
I'm
very
excited
about
this
moving
forward
and
looking
forward
to
having
more
discussions
about
it
and
putting
all
this
information
together
and
see
what
we
can
do
in
the
future,
and
I
think
we
can
always
do
a
lot
more
than
we
kind
of
think
we
can.
E
So,
let's,
let's
keep
it
that
way
and
again.
I
just
said
when
I
said
that
it
reminded
me
going
back
to
my
childhood
and
one
of
my
favorite
books
was,
you
know
the
little
train
and
I
think
I
can't
I
think
I
can,
and
you
have
to
keep
that
that
you
know
the
the
climb
up
the
track.
E
I'm
excited
about
this
and
looking
forward
to
have
it
brought
back
and
again-
and
I
thought
a
lot
of
the
ideas
about
increasing
our
outreach
to
the
community
is
very
important,
particularly
getting
more
people
who
are
you
know
a
lot
more
diversity
in
terms
of
the
of
the
outreach
would
be
good,
so
very
good
work,
and
I
look
forward
to
the
next
phase
on
this
and
to
getting
this
put
together
and
I'm
very
pleased.
This
ties
into
the
k4c.
E
You
know
goals
and
the
thing
we
signed
and
it's
a
very
ambitious
and
very
inspirational
goal,
and
again
I
think
it's
something
dolby
can
do
so,
I'm
looking
forward
to
it.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
Well,
I
see
that
the
staff
has
been
doing
a
lot
of
work
and
I
think
the
process
you
are
working
on
keeping
very
busy.
It's
all
good.
I
think
you
are
doing
exactly
what
needs
to
be
to
set
goals
and
outreach
and
talk
to
folks
and
get
information
and
update
your
goals,
and
you
know
be
be
bold,
be
ambitious
and
understanding
what
you
know.
The
reality
is
the
same
time
but,
as
I
said
you
know
often
is
that
the
devil
is
in
the
detail.
D
So
an
example
is
in
your
outreach.
You
know
you
have
talked
to.
I
heard
that
almost
half
of
the
people
are
under
age
of
I
don't
know
what
30
30
something,
and
so
I
want
to
be
sure
that
the
the
response
you
get
is
representative
of
the
community.
D
Okay,
so
that
we
do
have
a
cross
section
because
they
are
going
to
be
affected
and
because
of
cobra
19,
you
know
a
lot
of
work
traditionally.
Connections.
Contacts
outreach
we
make
is
not
possible.
You
know
so
you,
depending
on
technology,
a
lot
of
that,
and
I
think
it's
natural
that
when
you
do
that,
you
narrow
down
your
the
demographics
to
younger
folks.
You
know
people
who
use
technology,
and
so
I
want
to
be
sure
that
we
do
not,
you
know,
lose,
ignore
the
people
that
are
being
constrained.
D
You
know
with
the
with
the
cover
19
virus
crisis,
so
I
would
like
to
to
know
more
and
better
what
kind
of
demographic
response
we're
getting
from
what
kind
of
folks
we
have
the
distribution,
demographic
age
diversity.
D
So
if
you
have,
if
you
have
more
information
the
numbers
on
the
the
outreach
program,
I
would
appreciate
that
that
would
give.
You
know
us
give
me
a
better
idea.
D
You
know
how
it
represents,
whether
it's
skew
or
not,
because
otherwise
you
know
you
know
that
if
you
just
reach
a
certain
population,
I
think
somebody
said
that
it's
kind
of
self-selecting
in
a
way
you
may
get
the
answers
back,
maybe
somewhat
you
know
skewed.
So
I
think
what
you're
doing
is
right,
everything's
good.
You
know
the
question
is
when
you
execute,
you
know
what
is
that
detail
that
we
may
miss?
D
So
it's
important,
we
have
a
quality
control
check
to
make
sure
that
we
are
getting
a
represented
representative
representative
feedback
and
the
other
one
is.
I
agree
that
you
know
we
said
goals
and
I
believe
you
can
set
big
goals.
That's
fine,
but
it
has
to
be
realistic.
Realistic
means
that
you
know
when
we
set
a
goal
for
50
years
in
2050,
that's
30
years
from
now.
Is
that
a
goal
or
is
that
a
a
a
vision?
You
know
a
an
ideal?
You
know.
D
I
believe
that
when
we
talk
about
10
years
20
years,
that's
real,
that's
the
thing
we're
going
to
go
after,
and
but
we
said
further
than
that
you
know
that's
fine.
We
can
stretch,
but
we
have
to
be
realistic
again,
so
you
know
I
I
would
love
to
have
three
years
ago,
five
years
ago,
ten
years,
seven
years
ago,
ten
years
ago,
bang
and
then
stretch
it
as
much
as
we
can.
D
You
know
if
we
want,
if
you
want
to
make
the
hundred
percent
hey
if
it's
possible-
let's,
let's
do
it,
but
when
you
put
a
you
know
a
thousand
percent
in
the
next
100
years.
You
know
it
doesn't
matter
that
much
it's
just
it's
just
a
conversation.
So
that's
the
just
a
comment,
but
this
the
last
one
I
I
feel,
but
anyway,
it's
good
stuff,
but
I
just
want
to
know
better
what
what
the,
how
the
numbers,
how
strong
they
are,
the
last
one
is
covert
covert
impacts.
D
I
think
somebody
mentioned
it's
very
good
that
you
look
into
that
the
only
only,
but
I
wasn't
clear
what
your
graph
showed.
I'm
not
sure
if
I
understood
that.
Well,
it
sounded
like
it's
a
it's
a
it's
a
empirical
curve
that
looks
reasonable,
but
in
fact
I'm
thinking,
koba
19
actually
slowed
down
the
economy.
He
actually
slowed
down
the
whole
growth
process.
D
D
I
don't
know
whether
you
need
to
include
that
at
this
time,
but
if
you
do
want
to
throw
out
cover
19
impact
as
a
consideration,
my
thought
is
going
to
be
just
maybe
different
from
what
you're
thinking
it's
going
to
actually
minimize
mitigate
somewhat
the
environmental
impact
we're
looking
at
so
you
know,
but
regardless
might
the
way
I
look
at
this
hey
we
should
put.
We
should
go
on
anyway.
So,
but
if
you
want
to
stick
it
in
there,
you
know
that's
one
consideration.
I
would
I
would
question
and
lastly,
a.
A
Council
member
lee
councilmember
lee
I'm
going
to
stop
you
there
and
I'll
come
back
to
you.
Okay,
it
sounds
like
jennifer.
It
sounds
like
we
have
two
council
members
who
are
looking
for
a
little
more
information
on
who
is
pulled.
So
perhaps
you
could
present
give
us
some
of
the
demographics
and
the
the
sample
number
and
the
right
thing.
A
F
Thank
you
mayor
and
jennifer.
I
meant
to
say
thank
you
also
for
the
analysis
you
did
for
the
k4c
commitments
and
all
the
work
that
you're
doing
for
the
update
for
the
esi
just
want
to
say
that
I'm
looking
forward
to
the
day
that
we
can
get
to
that
leading
edge
and
hope
that
we
can
hope
that
we
can
get
there.
I
I
there's
so
many
goals,
frameworks
and
philosophies,
and
you
know,
and
some
are
more
cautious
than
others
and
some
are
more
aggressive
than
others.
F
F
Why
we
haven't
met
the
goals
that
we
set
if
we
do
set
aggressive
ones
and
helps
us
focus
for
for
moving
forward,
but
you
know,
I
also
wonder
how
we
can
identify
what
where
we,
where
what
are
the
ones
that
we
feel
like
we
can't
hit,
and
you
know
we're
kind
of
to
the
point.
I
think
that's
come
up
earlier
like.
Why
do
we?
Where
do
we
think
we?
F
What
do
we
think
we
need
to
do
in
order
to
make
those
more
realistic
if
we
think
they
aren't
realistic,
because
I
would
love
for
us
to
get
to
the
leading
edge
across
the
board.
C
Thank
you,
mayor,
jennifer,
first
of
all,
great
presentation
and
what
happened,
I
think,
with
your
youngster.
There
has
happened
to
me
at
least
three
times
already,
so
there's
no
reason
to
to
apologize.
It
happens
during
the
zoom-centric
covet
days,
we're
living
in.
So
I'm
not
sure.
There's
much
more
to
add.
My
colleagues
have
done
a
great
job
and
great
conversation.
I
think
there
is
certainly
a
lot
of
momentum
behind
this.
C
I
I
certainly
appreciate
you
recapping
the
the
council's
priority
here
and
and
the
council's
vision
to
go
bold
on
this.
Of
course,
you
know
there's
a
little
bit
of
you
know.
C
Perhaps
disagreement
on
bold
versus
leading
edge,
but
I
really
look
forward
in
terms
of
how
you
kind
of
balance
that
act
and
the
in
the
in
the
final
draft
that
we
get
to
get
to
look
at
here
shortly
and
I
think
there'll
be
some
great,
robust
conversations
about
setting
those
goals,
and
you
know,
are
these
goals
leading
edge
enough
or
are
they
bold
enough?
Can
we
do
more
and
if
so,
how
do
we
do
that
and
then
how
do
we
get
there?
So
I
I
I
appreciate
the
work.
C
That's
going
into
this
for
you.
I
also
appreciate
the
the
great
outreach
has
been
mentioned
numerous
times
already,
and
I
too
would
be
interested
in
seeing
some
of
the
the
demographic
information
there.
C
As
you
can
tell
jennifer
how
many
total
residents
you
think
you've
been
in
contact
with
now
through
you
know,
through
the
forums
and
and
through
the
you
know,
the
online
surveys
etc.
It
might
not
be
exact,
but
it'd
be
great
to
know
exactly
how
many
bellevue
residents
and
total
number
of
people
that
you've
you've
contacted
or
or
have
been
come
in
contact
with
one
way
or
another
would
be
also
a
good
thing
to
know,
but
yeah
again
great
work.
I
really
look
forward
to
seeing
this
seeing
this
draft.
C
I
think
again,
there's
going
to
be
a
great,
robust
discussion
around
this
and
and
and
looking
at
all
the
goals
and
tactics,
and
you
know,
speaking
of
the
tactics
it'll,
be
very
interesting
to
see
how
you
kind
of
straddle
the
certainly
because
we've
heard
from
so
many
people
that
residents
that
want
to
want
this
council
be
to
be
bold
and
aggressive
with
this
plan,
and
then
also
you
know,
do
those
goals
line
up
with
the
tactics
you
know.
C
You
know,
there's
there's
a
lot
of
great
ideas
there,
but
again,
let's
you
know,
let's
be
sure,
we're
focused
on
the
science
based
tactics
are
going
to
have
that
greatest
impact
for
us
at
least
that's
what
I'm
going
to
be
looking
for
quite
a
bit
in
that
final
draft,
but
great
work,
look
forward
to
reviewing
the
document
and
and
keep
up
the
great
work
and
we'll
be
talking
to
you
shortly.
Thank
you.
A
Well,
thank
you.
Usually
when
it
comes
to
my
term.
Everybody
said
everything
I
wanted
to
say,
but
I
actually
have
a
lot
of
points
I'd
like
to
make
so
I'll
try
to
be
brief
and
then
we'll
get
back
to
you.
Councilman
really.
You
know
a
lot
of
times
these.
These
things
we
talk
about
that
in
50-year
goals.
A
30-Year
goals
are
kind
of
these
hard
to
imagine
what
we're
talking
about
and
there's
we've
had
such
a
brilliant
example
of
what
decreased
gas
greenhouse
gas
emissions
looks
like
so
in
the
first
few
weeks
of
covid
when
everybody
stopped
driving
and
the
plane
stopped
flying,
and
we
saw
the
mountains
so
clearly
for
the
first
time
in
years,
and
we
saw
so
many
more
stars
at
night
and
you
know
across
the
world
practically
everybody
was
we
could
they
could
see
the
himalayas
for
the
first
time
you
know
from
india,
and
it's
just
it's
just
been
amazing-
to
see
the
change
that
these
climate
goals
can
have,
and
so
it's
very
tangible
and
because
we
didn't
choose
the
leading
edge
goal
on
everything
certainly
does
not
mean
we
can't
achieve
it.
A
You
know
I
mean
I
our
city,
I'm
really
proud
of
the
fact
that
we
do
not
create
false
goals.
A
lot
of
cities
just
sign
up
for
these
audacious
goals
that
they
never
they
never
make
them.
We
make
our
goals,
but
we
usually
surpass
them.
So
you
know
as
long
as
we
continue
to
do
the
best
we
can
do
I'm
comfortable,
whether
it's
a
bold
or
a
leading
edge
goal.
A
I
just
want
to
keep
moving
in
the
in
the
right
direction,
and
so
on
that
note
there
are
two
things
that
I
think
we
need
to
capitalize
on
right
now.
First
of
all,
we
need
to
partner
with
our
waste
company
and
figure
out
a
way
to
get
recycling
happening.
More
70
of
our
recycling
is
contaminated
and
that's
just
you
know
we're
not
we're
not
achieving
any
goal
with
that.
A
Everybody
goes
to
great
trouble
to
recycle,
but
the
recycling
actually
turns
into
waste,
and
I
don't
think
the
trash
company
gets
paid
for
that
because
it
starts
out
as
recycling
and
then,
of
course,
the
landfill
gets
filled
up
and
we
don't
benefit
from
the
attempt
to
recycle.
So
I
really
hope
that
the
city
can
do
major
outreach
with
the
community
to
try
to
get
people
recycling
correctly
in
a
way
that
it
does
not
turn
into
waste,
and
I
hope
that
you
know
that
we
can
all
partner
in
that
effort.
A
I
just
seeing
the
response
to
the
community
to
the
to
the
request
for
everybody
to
wear,
masks
more
and
and
the
council
did
a
great
public
service
announcement
on
getting
people
to
wear
masks
in
the
last
two
weeks.
You
know
the
covid
numbers
have
gone
down
and
I
believe
today
was
the
first
day
we
haven't
had
a
death
in
king
county
from
cogan,
so
that
that's
incredible
the
other.
A
The
other
thing
is
the
tree
canopy
I
feel
like
we
can
address
that
a
lot
faster
and
with
a
much
stronger
approach,
especially
with
all
the
development
that
we
need
to
see
in
the
region.
A
We
should
we
should.
I
think
we
should
have
a
little
bit
of
a
stronger
approach
to
that
and
and
then
I
have
a
question.
I
get
a
lot
of
requests
for
us
to
do
single-use
plastic,
and
I'm
just
wondering
you
know.
I
don't
know
if
you
can
answer
this
off
the
top
of
your
head,
but
what
is
the
impact
of
making
that
decision
for
a
city?
What
is
the
economic
development
impact?
A
How
you
know
the
pros
and
cons
of
doing
something
like
that,
and
is
it
expensive
to
make
that
kind
of
a
change?
I
don't
want
to
ding
the
small
businesses
that
are
just
struggling
to
stay
on
their
feet
right
now,
but
I
would
like
to
know
kind
of
the
whole
picture
of
that.
Is
that
something
you
can
give
me
easily,
or
should
we
come
back
to
that.
N
I
could
maybe
do
a
quick
response
to
that
one.
Should
you
want
me
to
address
that
one
now?
I
love
that.
Thank
you
yeah.
So,
with
the
single
use
plastics,
the
the
state
passed
a
ban
on
single-use
plastic
bags
at
the
beginning
of
this
year.
It's
supposed
to
go
into
effect
next
at
the
beginning
of
next
year.
I
believe,
but
that
may
get
pushed
back
due
to
covid.
N
I
think
we
have
heard
from
residents
an
interest
in
that,
but
I
I
think
that's
probably
the
one
of
the
the
top
strategies
where
it
seems
like
it
would
make
sense
to
wait
for
you
know,
maybe
a
couple
years
as
we
progress
with
economic
recovery.
N
I
think
the
the
actual
costs
on
small
business
are
not
that
significant,
but
trying
to
roll
something
like
that
out
during
economic
recovery.
I
think,
would
just
be
too
overwhelming
is
kind
of
the
you
know
where
we've
landed
with
utilities.
We
in
some
of
the
utilities
surveys
we've
heard
a
strong
desire
to
ban
styrofoam.
So
I
think
you
know,
compostable
materials
are
maybe
a
little
bit
more
expensive,
but
the
the
cost
of
those
has
really
come
down.
N
Significantly,
I
think
the
other
thing
is
just
in
this
sort
of
covid
and
maybe
even
covered
world,
where
people
are
ordering
a
lot
of
take
out
and
not
eating
indian
restaurants
as
much
and
that
sort
of
thing,
I
think
you
know
our
utilities
departments
kind
of
recognize
us
that
the
waste
is
probably
going
to
go
up
a
bit
at
least
this
year
and
and
we'll
see
as
as
things
recover.
So
there's
just
a
lot
of
there's
a
bit
up
in
the
air
with
that,
but
you
know
we
can.
N
We
can
certainly
look
into
like
the
actual
costs
more,
but
just
in
terms
of
timing,
I
think
that's
one
where
you
know
in
in
working
with
the
utility
staff
on
this,
where
we
were
thinking.
That
would
be
one
to
maybe
wait
a
year
or
two
on
and
let
the
economy
recover
a
little
bit
more.
A
Well,
it's
funny
because
everything's
different
anyway,
I
mean
we're
having
to
make
all
these
changes
anyway.
It
seems
like
now's
the
time
to
ask
people
to
make
change
because
we're
having
to
change
everything
we're
doing,
and
I
I
just
hate
to
think
that
we're
waiting
waiting
two
years
and
watching
the
problem
get
worse
during
those
two
years.
So
I
don't
know
I
I
hear
what
you're
saying,
but
I'm
not
sure
I
I
buy
into
it
completely,
but
maybe
that's
something
we
could
get
some
feedback
from
the
chamber
and
the
bda
on.
A
Okay,
I'd
appreciate
that.
Well,
thank
you
and
then
councilmember
lee
you
had.
You
wanted
to
finish
up.
D
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much,
yeah
you.
You
really
brought
up
a
very
interesting
question.
I
agree
with
you
that
the
goals
and
visions
you
know
I
mean
we
can
be
both
okay,
but
I
just
want
what
I
mentioned
really
is
you
need
to
be
specific?
You
need
to
be
within
reachable.
D
You
know
timeline,
that's
important.
What
and
also
the
last
thing
you
mentioned.
You
know
about
just
specific
strategies
which
you
brought
up,
which
is,
I
wasn't
thinking
about
this
specifically,
but
just
in
the
line
of
what
you're
thinking,
but
I
was
going
to
say
that
there
are
many
many
strategies,
many
things
that
we
can
do,
which
are
bold,
which
can
actually
reduce
waste.
That's
one
example
and
can
do
a
lot
to
environment,
but
I
I
was
thinking
about
ways
when
I
was
one
to
talk
about
this
gentleman,
that's
from
germany.
D
He
mentioned
about
the
landfill,
you
know
about
and
there's
many
many
strategies
and
many
things
we
can
do.
I
mean
there
are
lots
of
them
and
plastic
bank
when
use
is
one
of
the
strategies
and
there
another
one
that
has
been
talked
about,
which
you
know
we
need
to
bring
up.
We
need
to
talk
about
again.
It
has
been
talked
about
in
the
past,
but
hasn't
been
given
too
much
many
chances
of
between.
D
Just
like
you
said
you
know,
if
there's
something
the
right
time,
we
need
to
do
it
and
one
time
maybe
it
wasn't,
but
I
believe
that
this
may
be
a
good
time
to
do.
A
lot
of
things
that
we
haven't
been
able
to
do
is
waste
to
energy
recovery.
That's
a
great
deal,
you
don't
need
to
put
things
in
the
ground.
You
know
like
recycling,
you
mentioned,
that's
costly,
you
recycle.
It
becomes
different
ways.
You
really
don't
get
rid
of
it.
You
just
pay
to
move
it
from
one
place
or
another
place.
D
Ultimately,
it's
there,
okay!
So
the
point:
that's
why
there
are
other
strategies.
Are
there
other
solutions,
other
ways
to
look
at
it,
I'm
just
throwing
out.
It
doesn't
mean
that
what
I'm
saying
or
you're
saying
or
janus
talking
about
it's
the
solution,
but
it's
all
part
of
the
solution.
We
need
to
talk
about,
so
you
know
and
the
one
that
I
just
want
to
sort
out
there,
because
I've
been
in
the
salaries
business
for
the
last.
D
I
know,
40
50
40
years
is
if
we
can
use
the
waste
and
turn
that
into
energy,
that's
a
way
through
a
tremendous
reduction
of
waste,
and
we
can
use
it
as
a
usable
energy
source
and,
of
course,
this
associated
problem
too,
when
you
do
something,
it's
always
going
to
be
some
remnants.
So
all
this
is
part
of
the
whole
solution.
How
the
strategy
we
need
to
look
at.
So
I'm
just
saying
that
we
need
let's
stay
open-minded,
and
this
is
opportunity
for
us
to
look.
D
You
know
is
the
environmental
problem
is
one
of
the
solutions
and,
let's
see
what
we
can
do,
be
open-minded
look
into
it
and
compare
and
come
up
with.
Just
like
deputy
mayor
was
saying,
you
know,
he's
going
to
look
at
yeah
what
the
facts,
what
what's
the
cost
of?
What's
price
cost
and
benefit
analysis,
that's
the
one
we
choose
right
or
ultimately
it's
what
can
we
do?
What's
the
timing,
what's
practical,
what's
realistic
within
the
next
three
years,
five
years,
no,
not
in
100
years!
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
councilmember
lee,
so
you
know
one
thing
jennifer:
when
the
when
the
uw
students
want
to
do
give
ideas
to
the
city,
maybe
we
could
ask
them
to
do
sustainable
ideas
that
would
be
kind
of
fun
to
focus
on
that.
So
I
get
to
see
everybody
this
time.
Is
there
anybody
else?
Who
would
like
to
make
a
comment?
You
just
manually
raise
your
hand,
and
I
can
see
you
yes,
council
members
on.
O
O
The
one
thing
that
we
didn't
talk
as
much
about
tonight
is
actually
our
existing
buildings
and
really
working
hard
to
figure
out
how
we
work
with
those
businesses
for
to
look
at
energy
efficiency
and
retro
commissioning,
and
because,
if
we
look
at
the
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
transportation
is
about
40
percent,
but
the
other
there's
a
40,
that's
related
to
building
use,
and
I
think
that
there's
a
lot
more
potential,
we
can
do
in
partnership
with
the
business
community
to
figure
out
how
to
reduce
the
greenhouse
gas
emissions
and
energy
use
promote.
O
As
we
have
new
buildings
coming
into
the
city,
can
we
actually
get
to
more
zero
buildings,
net
zero
buildings
and
so
to
me
those
are
the
areas
where
bellevue
has
in
the
past
and
continues
to
be
leaders
in
so
many
areas
and
I'd
like
to
see
us
work
with
our
developer
and
our
business
community.
To
do
more
of
that.
A
Well,
we
talk
about,
you
know
wanting
to
do
more
public
private
partnerships,
and
maybe
that
can
be
a
part
of
that
goal
too.
Yes,
I
really
like
that.
Thank
you.
Any
any
other
comments
we
have
another
great
topic
to
move
on
to
so
is
that
council,
member
stokes
yeah
okay
did.
E
You
want
to
yeah
real
briefly,
I
wanted
to
I
forgot
to
mention
earlier
I
mean
this
is
a
good
conversation.
I
think
we
need
to
have
it
longer,
but
yes,
it's
a
it's
a
push
and
pull
of
how
far
we
go.
One
of
the
survey
people
said
too
many
of
these
items
are
studies.
E
We
know
what
needs
to
be
done
time
to
do
not
now
not
study
and
one
of
the
things
that-
and
you
started
to
mention
this
and
I
think
that's
what
we're
talking
about
is
looking
at
and
pushing
waste
energy,
which
is
a
real
concept
that
is
there
and
listening
to
this
conversation
also
reminds
me
of
the
conversation
we
had
on
the
regional
policy
committee
and
outside
that,
with
the
solid
waste
division
for
a
couple
of
years
about
what
to
do
for
king
county,
which
is
they're
the
ones
that
we
you
know.
E
We
we
contract
with
them
to
to
do
this
stuff
and
it's
it
was
just
a
struggle
to
get
them
to
acknowledge
that
things
move
along
and
their
plans
were
always
kind
of
behind
the
curve
and
what
we
really
pushed
on
and
finally
got
them
to
agree
to
to
add
in
instead
of
just
building.
E
You
know
the
the
waste
dump
another
700
feet
to
actually
look
at
and
study
waste
energy
as
a
new
way
or
a
different
way
to
do
this,
and
actually
something's
been
done
in
some
european
cities
and
part
of
cities
in
this
in
the
country.
For
a
long
time,
so
my
point
is
it's
always
this
kind
of
push-pull
of
well.
We
don't.
You
know
the
devils
in
the
details.
We
need
this
or
that,
and
I
do
think
we
need
to-
and
I
appreciate
what
you
said.
E
We
don't
have
to
say
always
the
the
absolute
big
really
big
goals.
We
can
reach
us,
but
if
you
don't
have,
if
you
don't
have
a
dream,
you
never
reach
it
and
I
think
that's.
This
is
the
time
to
do
that.
It's
to
dream,
big
and
yes,
be
really
solid
on
how
we
go
along
that
and
have
ways
to
go
and
know
that
we
may
not
reach
goals.
But
if
you
don't
set
a
goal
and
don't
set
it
big,
then
the
chances
are.
E
A
So
I
hear
a
lot
of
hopes
for
exceeding
our
goals,
so
thank
you
very
much.
Okay,
councilmember
robertson.
Yes,.
G
I
just
had
a
quick
question
about
about
the
implementation
and
you're
right.
We
were
talking
about
a
lot
about
goals
today.
I
know
that
we're
going
to
be
releasing
the
draft
plan.
Will
we
see
some
of
the
implementation
action
items
in
the
budget
this
year?
Jennifer.
N
Potentially
there,
I
think,
were
some
proposals
that
reflected
you
know,
projects
that
are
already
you
know
that
were
proposed
or
in
the
pipeline
at
the
beginning
of
the
year.
I
think,
as
you
know,
the
budget
is
refined
and
reflects
you
know
some
of
the
adjustments
that
we
had
had
to
make.
Well,
I
you
know,
I'm
not
100
sure
what
obviously
is
going
to
be
in
the
final
budget,
but
I
think
there
will
likely
be
some
of
the
the
projects.
A
M
Thank
you,
mayor
council
member.
The
next
item
is
10b
on
your
study
session
agenda
this
evening,
and
that
is
a
discussion
of
the
regional
housing
coalition
for
housing,
arch,
21,
2021,
administrative
budget
and
work
plan.
M
M
So
you
can
imagine
this
was
last
before
you
around
this
time
back
last
year
in
1919
for
this
year's
budget
as
well
as
work
plan,
and
so
tonight,
staff
will
provide
a
brief
presentation
and
then
is
seeking
direction
from
the
council
to
bring
back
a
legislator
at
a
future,
a
future
council
meeting
to
approve
the
arch,
2021
budget
and
work
plan,
and
that,
I
think,
I
believe,
is
attentively
scheduled
for
october
19th.
H
Thank
you,
city
manager,
miyaki,
and
thank
you
mayor
and
council
for
allowing
us
to
have
a
bit
more
time
on
your
agenda
tonight
as
community
development
is
the
lead
department
for
much
of
the
sydney's
work
that
interfaces
with
arch
I'd
like
to
welcome
kloss
house
to
provide
an
overview
of
the
2021
arch
administrative
budget
and
work
program.
Kloss
right
now
is
the
acting
executive
manager
at
arch,
while
lindsay
masters
is
wrapping
up
her
maternity
leave.
H
H
You'll
see
that
the
2021
administrative
budget
has
no
increase
for
bellevue's,
just
under
282
thousand
dollar
contribution
or
for
other
jurisdiction
amounts.
As
you
know,
the
bellevue
contribution
for
capital
project
funding
through
arch
is
taken
through
separate
city
actions
following
classes
overview.
We're
asking
for
direction
to
bring
back
a
resolution
likely
in
october
for
bellevue's
approval
of
the
archda
admin
budget
and
work
program
for
the
calendar
year,
2021..
L
Good
evening,
mayor
robertson,
deputy
mayor
newman
house,
council
members
and
city
manager
miyaki,
I
believe
emile's
really
captured
much
of
the
presentation
already.
This
is
a
recommended
budget
and
work
program
that
the
arch
executive
board
approved
back
in
april.
L
We
do
have
growth
in
our
costs,
a
three
point:
something
percent
growth
in
personnel
costs
due
to
cola
and
steps,
and
also
some
technology,
advancements
that
we
need
to
make
in
the
coming
year.
So
our
budget
is
growing
by
about
forty
five
thousand
dollars
on
the
expense
side,
we
intend
to
cover
that
with
new
revenues
that
we
will
be
generating
through
the
collection
of
fees
from
the
administration
of
our
home
ownership
program.
L
As
la
as
well
as
the
investment
through
the
trust
fund
and
our
final
piece
is
education,
and
then
each
year
we
reach
out
to
our
cities
and
ask
what
specifically
we
need
to
work
with
their
staff
on
and
for
the
city
of
bellevue.
That
is
really
supporting
them
in
the
work
of
implementing
the
actions
of
the
affordable
housing
strategy
and
those
include
the
incentive
programs,
the
density
bonuses,
impact
fee
waivers
and
the
multi-family
tax
exemption
program.
So
we'll
be
working
with
staff
on
those
in
the
in
the
coming
year.
L
I
think
that
really
covers
what
was
presented
in
both
the
staff
memo
and
in
the
and
in
the
accompanying
memo
from
lindsay
and
I'm
here
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have.
A
A
I
do
have
a
question
about
something
that
arch
does
that
I'd
like
to
have
come
back
to
us
in
october
some
information
on
and
that's
the
mfte
you
you
provide
like
oversight
on
the
tenants
that
a
landlord
has
applying
for
those
units,
and
I
hear
that
it's
very
onerous
to
the
landlord
and
it
makes
it
almost
you
know,
deters
them
from
wanting
to
use
the
mfte
in
bellevue,
and
I
hear
that
seattle
has
found
a
way
to
do
this.
A
That
does
not
deter
developers
from
wanting
to
use
mfte,
I'm
wondering
if
you
could
examine
how
bellevue's
policing
of
it
that
arch
does
compares
to
seattle
and
and
when
you,
when
we
get
the
next
affordable
housing
report
in
october.
If
we
could
get
some
information
on
that,
because
I
want
to
make
sure
that
that
mfte
is
actually
something
that
works,
we
put
it
in
there,
so
that
developers
would
use
it,
and
this
is
a
very
critical
time
to
be
developing
as
much
affordable
housing
through
incentives
that
we
can.
C
Thank
you
mayor
and
yeah.
I
really
appreciate
your
suggestion
there
on
the
msd
and
I
support
that
look
forward
to
hearing
more
about
that
at
a
later
meeting,
but
I
do
not
have
any
questions
on
the
administrative
budget,
so
I
am
happy
to
move
that
forward.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
councilmember
stokes.
E
Yeah,
I
yeah.
I
appreciate
your
your
question,
your
suggestion
about
this
on
mfte.
You
know
that's
a
tool
we've
had
for
some
time,
but
I
I
agree
with
you
that
it's
not
doing
what
we
think
it
should
be.
So
this
is
a
good
time
to
look
at
that.
E
I
did
want
to
comment
on,
and
the
only
thing
I
wanted
to
particularly
cite
in
your
program
is
on
your
on
the
letter
right,
the
bottom
of
page
two
and
the
top
part
of
page
three,
where
you
talk
about
the
continuing
commitment
by
arches
board
and
management
on
preserving
and
strengthening
existing
programs,
and
you
have
these
following
improvements,
and
it's
a
very,
I
think,
very
memorable
group
of
improvements.
I
mean
I'm
very
excited
about
seeing
this
and
what
you've
been
focusing
on
and
really
upping
the
game.
E
G
Thanks,
I
also
don't
have
any
questions.
I
think
this
this
is
very
routine.
I
would
be
even
happy
to
have
this
kind
of
thing
be
on
our
consent
calendar
in
the
future.
I
mean
I'm
not
talking
about
projects
talking
about
the
administrative,
it's
something
that
we
we
pay
for.
We
are
obligated
to
do
it.
We
should
keep
doing
it.
Arch
is
an
important
program
and
I'm
really
pleased
to
see
the
new
improvements.
So
when
the
motion's
made
I'm
ready
to
vote
yes,.
D
Jess
I
forgot
to
mute.
I
want
to
compliment
you
and
the
staff,
for
you
know
not
asking
for
any
more
money,
even
though
you
have
to
make
up
the
cost
that
it's
increased
and
so
that's
that's,
that's
yeah!
Well,
a
pat
on
the
back
other
than
that,
as
I
always
agree
with
the
others
that
you've
done
a
great
job,
and
you
know
this
is
a
routine
administrative
thing
that
you
have
to
carry
on,
so
I
go
ahead
and
support
it.
Thank
you
much.
F
O
Members
on
yes,
I
also
am
very
thankful
for
all
the
work
that
arch
is
doing.
You
know,
I
echo
my
other
council
members
about
right
the
work
that
you're
doing
to
preserve
existing
units
and
really
plan
for
getting
more
units
looking
at
covet
impacts.
I
was
reading
about
the
two
new
ftes
that
were
brought
on
so
that
you
were
able
to
put
in
standard
operating
procedures
and
tracking
database.
O
I
was
online
and
I
couldn't
see
the
dashboard
on
the
program
metrics
that
was
talked
about
in
the
report,
so
I
would
like
to
get
a
copy
of
that
and
then
it
also
talked
about
a
dashboard
that
had
demographic
information.
So
I'd
like
to
see
that
as
well
to
really
get
a
sense
for
where
we
are
from
the
standpoint
of
equity
related
to
affordable
housing
and
then
on
the
covet
impact
to
the
existing
renters.
O
I
noticed
that
one
of
the
items
on
the
operating
budget
talked
about
internet
fees,
and
so
I
think
that
during
kovid
one
of
the
challenges
is
actually
for
kids
that
are
trying
to
be
online
for
school.
The
need
to
have
internet
service.
So
I
guess
I'm
I'm
wondering
if
that's
an
area
that
the
renters
are
struggling
with,
that
need
some
help,
and
it
just
leads
to
my
thought
around.
O
Where
are
we
with
the
coved
fiscal
impacts
for
the
renters
and
then
my
my
last
comment
is
that
I
appreciate
that
when
I
look
at
for
bellevue
what
you're
working
on
that
one
of
the
items
is
working
with
publicly
owned
or
faith-based
properties,
because
that
is
certainly
one
that
we
have
focused
on
this
year,
so
to
the
degree
that
we
can
work
in
partnership
with
arts
to
accentuate
that
effort
and
work
with
the
partners
in
the
community
to
to
make
that
strategy
even
more
successful.
I
would
be
really
excited
about
that.
So
thank
you.
L
I
am
not,
maybe
others
within
the
the
organization
are,
but.
A
A
C
Certainly
I'll
move
to
direct
staff
to
prepare
the
legislation
approving
arch
2021
budget
and
work
program
for
adoption
at
a
future
meeting.
