So

much

that,
on
the
day
of
Diwali
and
I
would
like
to
thank
all
my
community
members
and
leaders
who
came
in
spite
of
a
festival
day
to
attend
this
and
accept
the
proclamation
we've
been
working
with
you.
E
I

Even

in
the
past
from
Indian
Community
Indian,
Hindu
Community.
We
have
been
supporting
the
local
communities
by
helping
the
homeless
shelters
during
the
pandemic.
We
can
proudly
say
we
have
served
more
than
a
million
meal
to
the
hunger
so
and
we've
been
doing
a
food
drives
every
week

34
different

other
activities

blanket
Drive
toy
drive

Shelters
would
like
to
work
with
Bellevue
city

much
Namaste.
E
A
A
C
Thinking
there
there
are
12
little
pre-registered
speakers
this
evening
and
I
will
let
everyone,
including
the
council
and
the
public,
know
that
oral
Communications
is
for
a
period
not
to
exceed
30
minutes,
and
the
council
per
rule
allows
three
people
to
speak
to
any
one
side
of
a
particular
topic.
Once
we
reach
three
speakers,
we
will
not
be
able
to
hear
from
anyone
else
on
that
topic.
C
I
do
not
believe
we
will
run
into
any
issue
with
that
this
evening,
based
on
the
list
and
with
that
I
will
call
our
first
Speaker,
who
is
Kirsty
English,
Miss
English
I'm,
going
to
look
for
you
online.
F
C
F
Three
minutes
I
believe
we
will
speak
for
less
than
three
minutes
each,
but
it'll
be
more
than
three
minutes.
Total
like
mine
is
a
minute
and
a
half.
So.
C
That's
fine
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
get
your
power
clean
up.
I
will
time
you
separately
and
you
will
be
given
three
minutes
now.
F
Hello,
my
name
is
Kirsty
English
I'm,
the
founder
of
trees
for
livability,
the
Bellevue
based
nonprofit,
that's
urging
you
to
protect
and
expand
our
tree
canopy
next
week,
land
use
will
initiate
work
or
next
week,
November
7th
land
useful,
initiate
work
with
the
city
council
to
examine
how
best
to
rewrite
tree
codes.
This
week
we
want
to
summarize
some
key
points
from
our
tree
code
studies,
so
cancel
members
can
discuss
these
ideas
with
land
use
next
slide.
Please.
F
Cities
around
us
are
stepping
back
from
the
concept
of
retaining
a
percentage
of
trees
on
existing
lots
and
instead,
looking
at
the
bigger
picture,
what
kind
of
tree
density
do
we
want
in
our
residential
neighborhoods
Bellevue
has
a
goal
to
achieve
40
tree
canopy
by
2050
and
residential
property
makes
up
65
percent
of
bellevue's
tree
canopy
Federal
Way,
for
example,
defines
minimum
tree
density
targets
and
uses
uses
this
to
determine
how
many
trees
can
be
removed.
F
G
Okay,
my
name
is
Don
Marsh
and
I'm
involved
in
various
tree
planting
and
protection
projects
throughout
Bellevue
nearby
cities
require
a
permit
for
removal
of
significant
and
landmark
trees.
Permit
fees
provide
funding
to
maintain
and
enhance
the
tree,
canopy
and
enforce
regulations.
The
city
of
Bellevue
allows
five
trees
to
be
removed
from
a
property
without
a
permit.
G
Neighbors
are
often
surprised
and
dismayed
when
a
tree
that
provides
Community
benefits
is
suddenly
cut
down,
permits,
provide
notice
to
neighbors
lessen
friction
among
residents
and
provide
a
little
time
to
consider
where
and
how
to
replace
lost
lost
trees,
considering
the
impact
that
removal
of
a
large
tree
can
have
on
our
community
and
the
environment,
it's
wise
to
make
sure
good
options
are
considered
next
slide.
Please
and
next
presenter.
H
We
have
trees
that
are
being
removed
and
then
they're
being
left
to
saying.
Well,
hey,
what's
the
penalty
they
get
called
in
because
they
took
out
more
than
four
five
trees
in
my
neighborhood
they
took
out
seven
five
to
begin
with
and
they
said,
oh
the
year
changed
and
it
was
two
more
the
issues
are
we
have
to
have
enforcement
along
with
the
permits.
We
have
to
have
fines
and
we
have
to
have
penalties.
H
H
I
think
it's
really
important
for
us
to
recognize
that
if
the
city
compliance
people
feel
like
this
is,
this
is
really
important
to
take
out
those
things
and
that
and
we
have
trees
which
are
feeding
our
our
lives
with
oxygen
and
reducing
the
various
quantities
that
are
going
on.
I
have
to
say:
enforcement
along
with
the
permits
are
very
necessary
I.
Thank
you.
I
Well,
thank
you,
I'm
Craig,
spiesel
I'm
speaking
tonight
in
response
to
meetings
with
probably
over
a
hundred
residents
over
some
confusion
of
The
Proposal
from
the
police
department
for
increased
Staffing.
So
next
slide,
please
so
in
summary.
Here
I
want
to
make
it
really
clear:
I'm
supporting
the
police
department
staff
and
request
that
was
presented
to
council
at
the
same
time,
I'm
encouraging
Council
to
look
at
alternative
tax
increases.
I
We're
in
significant
economic
environment
that
has
changed
and
have
a
huge
impact
in
every
increase
on
residents
is
having
a
big
effect
and
combined
with
levies
next
slide.
Please
I've
done
some
analysis
here
and
you
may
have
heard
that
staffing
has
been
relatively
flat
for
the
past
22
years.
I
think
this
slide
illustrates
it
very
clearly:
the
Top
Line
being
total
staff,
the
Blue
Line
being
commission
officers
what's
interesting,
is
while
Staffing
is
relatively
flat.
I
We've
seen
a
37
percent
increase
in
number
of
calls
in
the
past
decade
and
just
over
the
past
five
or
six
years
about
a
19
increase
in
crime
next
slide.
Please
I
think
one
of
the
things
that's
also
really
important,
while
staff
Staffing's
been
flat
is
how
the
population
is
growth
and
one
of
the
national
metrics
of
looking
at
policing
and
Public
Safety
is
Staffing
per
thousand
residents.
This
slide
here
clearly
shows
the
decline
as
population
as
growth.
We
have
not
kept
pace
with
that
and
I
think
as
we
look
at
the
traffic
response
response.
I
As
a
result,
traffic
high
rise
buildings
we're
only
going
to
see
a
bigger
challenge
in
order
to
meet
requirements
for
the
city
next
slide,
please.
So
one
of
the
questions
came
up
at
last.
Council
meeting
was
why
we
need
Transit,
Police
and
I.
Think
there's
some
really
clear.
I
Data
I
did
a
fair
amount
of
research
over
the
past
month
and
clearly,
Light
Rail
is
in
multiple
cities
around
the
nation
becomes
a
big
magnet
for
crime,
and
we
need
to
look
at
that
and
we're
looking
now
versus
when
it
becomes
a
problem,
and
one
of
the
other
challenges
that
we're
faced
with
is
King.
County
response
time
is
two
to
three
long
times
longer
than
city
of
Bellevue
police.
So
we
need
a
staff
that
Transit
Police
Staffing
Department
as
sooner
soon
as
possible.
I
Next
slide
so
again
in
summary,
I'm
proposing
that
we
fully
support
the
police
department's
request,
but
at
the
same
time,
encouraging
Council
look
at
the
collective
impact
to
all
the
tax
increases,
one
of
specific
areas,
look
at
the
legal
remedies
for
clawing
back
funding,
that's
being
allocated
to
sound
transit
for
Transit,
policing
for
King
County
and
look
at
other
areas
to
reclaim
fees
or
recoup
costs.
Again,
as
I
mentioned
before
it's
a
collective
impact.
We
have
several
levies
that
residents
are
being
faced
with
and
every
dollar
has
an
impact
to
residents
again.
J
Hi,
my
name
is
Pam
Unger
I
live
at
200,
111th
Avenue
Southeast,
Bellevue
Washington.
My
house
is
just
on
the
other
side
of
the
East
Main
Street
Station,
hello,
mayor
Robinson,
Deputy,
Mayor,
new
and
Housing
Council
Members
I'm
a
10
year,
Bellevue
resident
I,
deeply
believe
in
our
governmental
processes
and
working
within
the
system.
My
personal
history
of
Engagement
within
the
city
supports
that
I'm
here
because
I'm
in
a
situation
in
which
this
system
is
not
working
as
intended
and
I'm
asking
you
to
help
we
bought
at
our
house.
J
It
was
when
we
bought
our
house.
It
was
right
size
for
me
and
my
husband
to
accommodate
our
growing
family
and
because
we
love
the
location
and
the
city
and
the
community
we
found
we
want
to
stay,
put
and
just
grow
the
house.
To
that
end,
we've
been
working
on
plans
to
build
an
addition
onto
the
back
side
of
our
house
and,
as
our
permit
moves
through
review,
it
is
getting
unduly
held
up
at
land
use
code
review.
The
feedback
I've
received
is
that
my
application
does
not
conform
to
section
20
25
m040
B3.
J
This
code
was
put
in
place
with
many
others
intend
to
thoughtfully,
bring
the
Light
Rail
and
better
mass
transit
to
the
greater
East
Side,
while
still
protecting
property
rights
and
mitigating
impacts
to
Residents
that
were
adjacent
to
the
new
light
rail
system.
My
specific
request
is
to
either
add
better
definition
to
the
code
or
allow
for
an
exception
to
that
code.
For
my
open
permit
application,
21-106
238br
chemo
burden
is
our
permit.
J
J
In
this
case,
in
April
21
Mr
Jackson
said
the
permit
wouldn't
be
improved
until
train
operations
are
commenced
in
July
of
21
I,
followed
up
with
Mr
burden
about
what
train
operations
meant
in
a
pair
of
calls.
Do
we
need
to
wait
until
the
light
rail
is
open?
No,
but
testing
needs
to
be
underway.
How
do
you
define
testing
is
underway?
There
will
be
articles
published
indicating
there
are
trains
on
the
tracks
and
testing
is
underway.
Articles
to
that
tune
started
being
published
a
year
ago.
J
J
The
rationale
for
this
interpretation
and
hold
up
has
not
been
explained
at
all,
but
the
definition
for
these
restrict
for
when
these
are
going
to
be
lifted
is
now
when
there
are
trains
on
the
track,
running
both
directions
and
on
a
continuous
schedule,
but
perhaps
without
passengers,
and
if
you've
been
following
along
the
Light
Rail
Project
has
been
pushed
out
another
year
by
the
way
Sound
Transit
has
indicated.
They
have
no
concern
with
me
doing
work
on
my
property
between
now
and
once
the
East
sling
extension
is
open.
This
is
moving
the
goal
post.
J
K
A
We
can't
respond
to
you
here
at
the
meeting,
but
if
you
could
email
your
comments
to
us,
that
would
be
helpful
with
support.
Okay,
thank
you.
C
M
C
M
I
first
want
to
start
by
thanking
the
mayor,
Deputy,
Mayor
and
city
council
members
and
staff
for
having
me
here
tonight.
For
those
who
might
not
know
me,
my
name
is
Angela
fan
and
until
just
recently
was
a
resident
of
Bellevue
and
also
served
on
the
Bellevue
Human
Services
Commission
as
well
as
worked
for
the
city
of
Bellevue
I
was
honored
to
be
a
part
of
this
year's
grant
funding
cycle,
which,
if
I
have
my
dates
correct.
You
will
be
receiving
the
commission's
recommendations
tonight.
M
This
year's
cycle
of
funding
brought
a
record
amount
of
applications
to
the
commission
with
more
than
double
the
amount
of
funding
being
asked
each
and
every
one
of
these
organizations
brings
something
to
our
community
and
I
felt
honored
being
able
to
advocate
for
them
these
past
few
months.
It's
no
surprise
to
anyone
in
this
room
that
it's
been
hard
for
these
organizations.
M
Regardless
of
these
chant
these
challenges
day
in
and
day
out,
the
hard-working
leaders
in
these
organizations,
whether
it
be
at
for
tomorrow
or
the
Russian
Day
program
at
North,
Bellevue
Community
Center,
do
everything
that
they
can
to
support
our
community
and
when
I
say
community,
it's
not
just
the
ones,
you
think
need
the
help
that
are
getting
it.
It's
also
our
students
struggling
with
mental
health
issues
and
our
seniors
needing
rides
to
their
doctor
appointments
and
everyone
in
between.
While
this
funding
helps
these
organizations
out
immensely
I
encourage
you
to
do
more.
M
We
need
to
show
up
for
our
youth
right,
advocating
for
more
Mental
Health
Resources
within
our
community,
because
we
simply
don't
have
enough.
We
need
more
lgtbqia
resources
for
both
Youth
and
adults
within
our
community.
As
a
city
with
a
school
district
that
has
over
104
languages
spoken,
we
need
resources
to
be
able
to
to
be
available
in
more
languages
throughout
our
city
and
schools.
We
need
to
show
up
for
our
bipoc
residents
by
advocating
and
bringing
in
more
resources
for
affordable
housing,
education,
food
and
Community
Support
housing.
M
Affordability
is
at
the
Forefront
of
our
community
issues
and
I
know.
City
council
is
working
to
help
alleviate
it,
but
remember
it
isn't
just
who
you
might
think
is
having
a
hard
time
affording
to
live
here.
It's
people
like
me
and
my
family
that
have
been
priced
out
of
our
area
in
Bellevue
and
had
to
make
one
of
the
hardest
decisions
to
move
elsewhere
to
buy
our
first
home.
It's
the
multi-generational
families,
all
living
in
a
one-bedroom
apartment
together,
hoping
their
rent
stays
the
same,
and
it's
everyone
in
between
that.
M
Don't
have
the
tech
jobs
that
allow
some
to
afford
the
rising
costs
and
rent
these
organizations
that
are
receiving
funding
are
the
links
to
helping
our
community
flourish,
encourage
you
to
take
the
time
to
get
to
know
how
they
all
work
separately
and,
together
with
each
other,
to
reach
all
those
that
need
their
assistance.
Our
motto
in
Bellevue
is
diversity
as
our
strength.
In
order
for
us
to
back
that
up,
we
need
to
support
all
diverse
populations
living
here
in
Bellevue.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
N
A
N
Okay,
so
here
tonight
asking
for
the
council
to
consider
some
sort
of
a
exception
to
the
land
use
code,
2025m
040
B3
for
our
permit
application.
Is
it
the
limits
of
the
code?
Do
not
otherwise
allow
for
application
to
be
if
the
the
code
does
not
otherwise
allow
for
application
to
be
approved.
This
is
an
urgent
matter
for
us.
We
have
a
clock
ticking
on
this,
where,
if
it's
not
resolved,
you
know
by
the
middle
of
November,
our
permit
in
place
resets,
and
we
start
over
in
square
one.
N
You
know:
we've
lived
through
The
Sound,
Transit
construction,
and
now
that's
complete.
It's
it's
troubling
that
the
city
is
preventing
us
from
starting
on
our
own
work.
You
know
there
are
four
reasons
why
we
believe
our
application
should
not
be
denied
on
these
land
use
provisions.
First,
the
incentive
of
the
code
as
it
was
drafted
is
to
protect
the
residence
property
rights.
N
N
Second,
there
were
some
practical
consideration
exceptions,
rather
that
were
considered
upon
the
drafting
to
allow
residents
and
sound
transit
to
agree
on
different
terms
as
suited
the
property
owner
with
less
of
a
setback.
In
fact,
in
meeting
minutes
from
February
19
2023,
don't
detail
why
this
practical
acceptance
exception
didn't
make
it
into
the
code.
However,
a
an
earlier
draft
called
the
public
hearing.
Draft
overlay
provided
flexibility
for
a
minimum
15
foot
buffer.
N
If
there's
a
green
between
Sound
Transit
and
the
property
owners,
Eva
councilman
Stokes
was
comfortable
with
a
15-foot
setback.
If
it
was
agreeable
to
the
owner
a
former
councilman
gentleman
indicated,
he
wasn't
sure
whether
60
feet
was
the
necessary
distance
in
councilmember
Robinson
agreed
that
flexibility
in
the
part
of
the
homeowner
was
agreeable,
but
only
after
the
light
rail
is
built,
and
so
we
appreciate
that
this
was
considered
and
if
councilmember
Robertson's
bright
line
was
at
the
station
was
built,
we
feel
we've
reached.
N
We
should
also
note
that
the
council
debated
setting
the
setback
30
feet
versus
60
and
at
30
we
wouldn't
have
this
issue.
Third
late
rail
is
set
guideline,
supporting
making
exceptions
and
the
guiding
principle
three
said
the
city
should
advocate
for
exceptional
litigation
throughout
the
project
phases.
Fourth,
if
the
only
substantive
reason
would
be
for
the
greater
good
and
given
that
the
property
or
the
construction
of
the
Sound
Transit
is
complete,
we
feel
that
that
has
come
to
pass
anyway.
Thank
you
for
your
time,
appreciate
it.
C
O
O
Hello,
my
name
is
Anthony
and
thank
you
so
much
councilman
council
members,
I'm
speaking
on
in
support
of
increasing
funding
for
division,
zero
initiative,
which
is
wonderful,
I've
lived
in
downtown
Bellevue
for
a
year
and
a
half
now
I
primarily
get
around
through
walking
and
biking
in
the
downtown
through
Daria.
During
that
time,
half
of
my
bike
rides
have
resulted
in
a
car,
not
observant
right
away,
and
a
quarter
of
those
close
calls
have
resulted
in
a
collision.
O
I've
been
fortunate
enough
to
come
out
of
these
collisions
on
skates
besides
a
few
bruises,
but
pedestrians
and
cyclists
only
make
up
five
percent
of
the
Collision
data
from
Vision
zero,
but
51
of
the
casualties.
If
we
want
Bellevue
to
be
a
safer
City,
we
must
invest
in
designing
and
Engineering
walkable
spaces
and
protected
bike
lanes
that
do
not
overlap
with
car
traffic.
It
is
well
known
that
walkable
bikeable
cities
improve
the
health
outcomes
for
everyone
living.
O
C
P
Thank
you,
yeah
I'm,
also
here
to
voice
my
support
for
vision.
P
However,
it
would
in
most
cases
be
irresponsible
and
unsafe
to
let
a
child
cycle
around
town,
let
alone
for
seven
miles
and
children
that
grow
up
here
are
mostly
really
dependent
on
on
adults
to
shuttle
them
around,
and
in
my
experience
it
just
does
not
have
to
be
in
this
way.
P
My
own
daughter,
just
turned
two
months
old
and
I
hope
that
by
the
time
she
turns
12,
she
can
safely
cycle
around
Bellevue
for
seven
miles
too.
Let's
make
it
happen.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
your
time.
L
My
name
is
Lorelei
Unger
I
live
at
211th,
Avenue
Southeast,
Bellevue
Washington.
This
is
my
sister
Sydney.
We
moved
out
of
her
house
this
summer
because
we
thought
the
remodel
was
going
to
start
I
used
to
have
my
own
bedroom
and
we
had
three
toilets
in
the
rental.
We
only
have
one
bathroom
and
I
have
to
share
a
room
with
my
brother
and
sister.
L
It
is
it's
bad,
but
it
was
going
to
be
okay
if
we
were
going
to
do
the
remodel
I,
don't
know
why
the
city
changed
the
rules
or
told
us
the
wrong
rules.
If
they
told
us
the
right
rules,
we
even
moved
out
of
the
out
if
it
now
it
is
extra
bad,
because
we
have
one
toilet,
five
people
and
a
cat
and
a
dog.
But
it's
for
no
good
reason.
Please
make
the
city
go
back
to
the
rural
slavery.
It
first
said
and
allow
us
to
do
the
remodel.
C
Q
So
I'm
Andrew
Pardo
I
live
at
10915,
Southeast,
1st
Street,
I
gotta,
say
Lorelei.
Unger
is
a
really
hard
act
to
follow,
but
I
will
do
my
best
I'd
like
to
thank
the
city
for
the
work.
It's
done
to
decrease
death
and
injury
from
traffic
violence
in
Bellevue.
You
know
the
talking
points.
Traffic
has
gotten
more
dangerous.
Since
covid
our
streets
are
less
safe,
even
though
fewer
people
are
commuting,
people
are
still
being
killed
and
injured
by
drivers
accountable,
continuous
discussion
of
the
preliminary
operating
budget
tonight.
Q
As
you
discuss
the
city
budget
I
ask
that
you
consider
increasing
the
city's
investment
in
Vision
zero.
You
know
the
talking
points,
I,
won't
repeat
them.
I
instead
want
to
thank
you
for
the
Investments
we've
made
already.
I
live
on
the
south
side
of
downtown
and
I
work
in
the
Spring
District
biking
is
faster
for
me
than
driving,
especially
considering
the
time
it
takes
to
park
and
exit
from
the
garage
at
work.
But
there's
days
when
I
just
don't
feel
like
I'm
able
to
protect
myself
out
there
work
gets
stressful.
Q
Q
There
are
still
risks
to
being
out
on
the
roads.
Of
course,
no
matter
how
you
travel
and
it's
especially
risky
when
I'm,
not
wrapped
in
a
steel
cage
filled
with
airbags
people
Park
in
the
bike
lane
all
the
time.
A
couple
weeks
ago,
some
guy
got
angry
when
I
tried
to
pass
him
as
he
was
pulling
out
of
the
bike
lane.
C
R
R
R
R
R
R
R
A
Gonna
ask
yeah
okay,
so
we
have
three
study
session
items
tonight
and
Mr
Miyaki
I'm
gonna.
Let
you
introduce
the
first
one
and
I'm
I'm
gonna
excuse
myself
for
just
a
moment,
but
I
already
know
what
you're
gonna
say
so
I'll
be
right.
Back
and
I'll
put
the
deputy
mayor.
K
In
charge,
I'll
go
ahead,
and
the
mayor
has
already
seen
a
bit
of
a
preview
on
this
so
for
tonight's
study
session.
As
the
mayor
mentioned,
staff
will
continue
discussions
on
the
proposed
20
23
to
2024
operating
budget
as
well
as
seven
year
Capital
plan.
Specifically,
we
have
three
budget
servings
on
your
study
session
agenda
this
evening
and
the
first
serving
is
an
overview
Investments
that
support
the
council's
priorities
related
to
the
city's
environmental
stewardship
initiative
and
second,
the
city's
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion.
K
Priority
on
joining
us
this
evening
is
Tony
call
our
finance
and
asset
management
director,
as
well
as
Jennifer
Ewing
as
far
right,
who
is
our
environment,
stewardship
program
manager
from
the
Community
Development
Department,
as
well
as
to
her
up
Tony's
direct
ride
is
Dr
Linda
Whitehead,
the
chief
diversity
Equity
inclusion
officer
with
the
city
manager's
office,
and
with
that
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
over
to
you
Tony
to
kick
off
the
presentation.
S
Mayor
and
council
members,
as
always
it's
a
pleasure
back
here
to
talk
about
our
work
this
evening.
This
information
is
for
information.
Only
our
agenda,
this
I
this
evening
is.
We
have
three
servings
of
the
budget
this
evening.
This
is
the
first
of
three.
It
will
address
environmental
stewardship,
Equity
inclusion
and
access
and
then
under
separate
cover.
S
In
addition,
we
discussed
the
clean
and
vibrant
City
Investments
tonight,
with
growth
and
urbanizations
you'll
hear
from
development
services
and
their
investment
in
permitting
heading
down.
Clockwise
homelessness
was
before
you
on
October
3rd
with
the
Investments.
Then
tonight
you
have
the
four
o'clock
in
the
six
o'clock
hour,
which
is
equity,
inclusion
and
access
and
environmental
stewardship,
affordable
housing
heading
up
to
the
eight
nine
o'clock
hour.
S
Affordable
housing
was
before
you
in
the
affordable
housing
presentation
that
was
done
on
October,
10th
and
then
Public
Safety,
which
a
large
investment
and
the
preliminary
budget
was
done
on
October
3rd,
so
kind
of
as
a
recap
of
where
we've
kind
of
been
around
the
pinwheel.
So
today
we'll
finish
up
the
pinwheel.
S
Here's
our
budget
Milestone
calendar,
as
you
can
see,
coming
up
next
on
November
7th,
which
is
in
two
weeks,
is
our
public
hearing,
we're
back
before
you
on
November
14th
to
discuss
Council
direction
to
bring
back
a
package
to
you
for
adoption
tentatively
on
November
21st,
so
we're
heading
towards
the
end
of
our
of
our
budget
time.
When
we
finish
our
three
presentations
this
evening,
we
will
have
presented
the
city
manager's
preliminary
budget
to
you,
a
quick
reminder
of
where
we've
been
and
tonight
we
kind
of
hit
this
with
the
pinwheel
a
minute
ago.
S
But
tonight
you
can
see
the
items
that
are
before
you,
and
this
is
a
slide.
We've
spent
very
little
time
on
thus
far
so
I
want
to
take
a
minute
and
go
through
all
the
actions
it
will
take
to
adopt
the
budget.
Since
this
is
the
last
item
before
and
the
city
manager
will
have
presented
his
preliminary
budget.
All
of
the
items
at
this
point
should
be
the
tonight
or
have
come
before
you
so
starting
at
the
top
development
services
fees.
S
You'll
be
hearing
the
development
services
fee
presentation
this
evening,
utility
rates
ordinance
before
you
on
October,
10th
and
so
you've
received
the
information
on
the
utility
rates
fee
adjustments,
the
third
item
down
Human,
Services,
cbdg
and
housing
stability
will
all
be
before
you
tonight
with
the
Human
Services
recommendations
on
September
26th.
When
we
brought
forward
the
preliminary
budget
that
evening,
we
noted
that,
in
order
to
fund
the
Investments,
it
would
require
a
0.01
increase
in
the
business
and
occupation
tax.
S
So,
in
order
to
adopt
that,
we
will
need
a
business
and
occupation
tax
ordinance
and
then,
of
course,
we
always
present
forward
the
remaining
Bank
capacity
so
that
we
ensure
that
we
have
our
bank
capacity
being
held
at
the
county.
The
council
will
also
need
to
set
the
2023
property
tax
levy
ordinance.
S
This
preliminary
budget
includes
two
percent,
one
percent
Council
medical
one
percent
bank
and
then
of
course,
the
final
item
on
the
budget
is
what
we
call
the
umbrella
ordinance
or
the
total
biennial
budget
ordinance,
which
would
include
the
Appropriations
by
fund
for
all
funds
to
ensure
that
we
have
appropriation
Authority
for
the
2324
budget.
So
we'll
probably
hit
those
again
in
two
weeks
when
we're
here
for
the
public
hearing
or
on
November
14th.
So
with
that,
I
am
going
to
turn
this
evening
to
start
with
environmental
stewardship
with
Jennifer
I'll
pass
you
the
remote.
T
Thank
you
director
call
good
evening,
mayor,
Deputy,
Marin
members
of
the
council.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
present
on
the
environmental
stewardship
budget
this
evening.
T
We're
really
excited
about
what's
included
in
the
budget,
so
the
the
budget,
including
both
the
operating
and
the
CIP,
represents
really
A
four
times
increase
over
the
the
previous
budget
to
help
enable
accelerated
implementation
of
the
environmental
stewardship
plan.
The
budget
proposals
include
actions
which
will
focus
on
reducing
greenhouse
gas
emissions
from
our
largest
sources,
buildings
and
transportation.
T
This
funding
will
put
us
on
track
towards
achieving
75
of
our
goal
for
reducing
emissions
by
2030..
On
the
community
side,
the
funding
will
allow
us
to
build
capacity,
create
new
programming,
expand
and
expand
existing
programming
to
support
Energy
Efficiency
in
existing
buildings,
Green
Building,
renewable
energy
and
vehicle
electrification
for
Community
emissions.
This
funding
will
put
us
on
track
towards
achieving
50
percent
of
the
reductions
needed
from
City
level
efforts.
In
addition
to
supporting
state-led
efforts
to
reduce
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
T
For
the
community
actions,
the
the
budget
proposals
there's
two
proposals
which
cover
our
community-led
actions,
one
in
the
operating
budget
and
one
CIP,
and
then
I'll
talk
about
the
two
proposals
that
will
help
Advance
our
Municipal
operations,
sustainability
work
so,
first
focusing
on
the
two
proposals
which
address
our
community
actions.
The
focus
on
this
funding
is
related
again
towards
our
two
largest
sectors
in
our
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
buildings
and
transportation.
T
With
this
funding,
we
really
look
to
build
upon
some
of
the
work
we've
started
in
the
past
two
years
or
almost
two
years
since
the
plan
was
adopted,
expanding
some
of
that
programming
and
then
also
adding
a
number
of
new
programs
and
services.
We'll
explain,
expand
the
clean
buildings
incentive
program
which
was
launched
last
year.
This
program
is
intended
to
support
buildings
in
Bellevue
and
complying
with
the
state
clean
buildings
act.
T
We've
already
supported
about
a
quarter
of
the
buildings
in
Bellevue
over
50
000
square
feet
and
with
this
increased
funding,
this
will
allow
us
to
support
more
buildings
in
Bellevue
and
getting
compliance
in
the
with
the
state
law,
and
then
it
will
also
help
us
support
smaller
buildings
that
are
20
000
square
feet
and
greater,
which
we'll
have
to
comply
with
the
law.
T
Further
out
this
decade
for
residential
buildings,
we'll
continue
to
build
and
invest
in
the
Energy
Smart
East
Side
program,
with
additional
funding
for
Energy
Efficiency
retrofits
for
residents
and
single-family
homes
and
affordable
multi-family
buildings,
with
a
particular
focus
on
supporting
low
and
moderate
income
residents
in
Bellevue.
T
T
T
On
the
municipal
operations
side.
There
are
two
new
proposals
that
are
included
in
the
preliminary
budget.
One
is
to
allow
for
the
installation
of
electric
vehicle
charging
infrastructure,
not
just
the
charging
stations,
but
all
of
the
electrical
capacity
and
everything
that
comes
along
with
it.
So
a
significant
investment
in
our
infrastructure
to
enable
The
Greening
of
our
Fleet
and
then
also
some
significant
investments
in
Energy
Efficiency
for
some
of
our
main
city
facilities
for
City
Hall,
the
Bellevue
service
center
and
Bellevue
fire
stations
also
included
in
that
CIP
proposal
is
funding.
T
This
will
provide
the
50
match
that
we
need,
which
is
exciting,
along
with
expanding
the
solar
array
on
the
Bellevue
service
center
plus
a
whole
bunch
of
other
Energy
Efficiency
projects
that
aren't
quite
as
exciting
as
solar,
but
as
important,
if
not
more
so,
and
then
again,
the
investment
in
the
EV
charging
infrastructure
is
really
an
essential
first
step
in
Greening
our
Fleet,
because
we're
kind
of
at
capacity
right
now
in
terms
of
charging
stations
so
to
wrap
things
whoops,
we'll
just
keep
it
there
to
wrap
things
up.
T
With
this
dedicated
ongoing
funding
for
implementing
the
ESI
plan,
we'll
be
able
to
make
a
significant
step
forwards
towards
achieving
our
goals
for
2030.
We
will
continue
to
monitor
the
impact
of
the
ESI
programs
and
their
effect
Effectiveness,
we'll
also
monitoring
opportunities
for
additional
grant
funding
through
federal
and
state
programs
to
further
accelerate
our
work.
Thank
you.
U
Good
evening,
mayor,
Deputy,
Mayor
and
City
Council
Members,
thank
you
very
much
for
allowing
me
to
come
and
speak
on
behalf
of
the
Dei
team.
We
are
very
excited
that
we
see
extra
funding,
so
I'll
cut
right
to
the
Chase
and
the
budget
for
the
Dei
program
and
the
reason
why
is
I'm
especially
grateful
and
happy
is
because
what
this
is
indicating
is
that
you
recognize
the
importance
of
that
diversity.
Equity
inclusion
in
accessibility
in
the
city
of
Bellevue.
U
So
as
I
go
through
tonight,
you
will
see
the
budget
continues
to
advance
to
di
work,
effort,
practice
and
policy
in
front
of
you
on
the
screen.
We're
taking
a
look
at
the
2023
2024
di
budget,
the
budget
we
have
increased
capacity
which
strengthening
our
impact,
that
increased
capacity
is
a
four
hundred
thousand
dollar
a
dollar
amount.
U
What
we
plan
to
do
with
that
is
update
the
2014
diversity
Advantage
plan,
including
goals
strategies
and
application;
Level
also
create
and
Implement
a
city-wide
Dei
training
and
education.
We
have
started
already
rolling
out
the
new
organizational-wide
Dei
training
program
for
staff
leadership
in
the
city's
boards
and
commission.
You
might
ask
for
why
are
we
doing
this?
The
reason
is
that
we
would
like
to
develop
a
shared
language
learning
and
action
around
Dei
work.
This
training
is
conducted
by
our
Dei
staff
and
with
HR
Support.
U
We
also
will
continue
to
develop
and
implement
the
budget
Equity
framework
with
the
goal
of
achieving
the
framework
for
our
25
and
26
budget
proposal.
Now
this
is
where
they
have
been
packing.
The
reason
why
we
have
this
budget
goal,
the
budget
Equity
goal
is
to
establish
a
set
of
guiding
questions
that
guide
All
City
departments
towards
assessing
how
they
propose
budget
benefits
in
or
burden
communities,
specifically
communities
of
color
and
low-income
communities,
and
provide
a
structured
way
to
apply
Equity
Concepts
to
key
decision
making
in
the
city.
S
U
Thank
you,
Tommy
no
building
relationships
and
centering
Community
divorces,
community
relations
and
transport.
This
is
extremely
important
to
us
because
we
want
to
continue
to
pursue
relationships
with
diverse
Community
organizations
to
ensure
transparent
communication.
Our
goal
is
to
seek
Greater
Community
engagement,
and
we
will
do
this
by
continuing
to
work
with
our
external
advisory
boards,
Bellevue
diversity,
advisory
network,
known
as
B
Dan
and
centering
communities
of
color
to
convene
community
dialogues
on
Race,
equity
and
inclusion.
U
Also,
the
creation
of
community
generated
recommendations
for
changes
if
needed
and
City
policies
and
practice.
We
are
excited
to
share
that.
This
work
will
be
supported
by
a
national
award-winning
Dei
leader,
Joshua
Barr,
and
will
conclude
in
a
community
generated
and
proposed
focus
on
advancing
racial,
Equity,
Building
trust
and
awareness
across
the
city.
We
also
will
reach
out
to
tribal
government
to
initiate
and
strengthen
formal
relationships.
U
Cross-Cultural
Center
we're
very
excited
about
the
cross
cultural
center
program.
The
last
time
we
were
in
front
of
you
to
discuss
the
cross-culture
center
was
in
May
of
2022
this
past
May.
The
direction
that
was
given
by
you
to
our
team
was
the
development
of
a
cross-cultural
programming
exploration
of
non-profit
partnership
with
future
cross-cultural
centers
and
continue
to
explore
space
opportunity
within
the
city
of
Bellevue
the
investment,
the
investment
of
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
over
the
next
two
years.
We
will
hire
a
consultant
to
ensure
consistent
Community
engagement.
U
Working
with
a
consultant
in
this
on
this
project
is
extremely
important
because
we
will
be
working
alongside
the
communities
to
design
public
gathering
space.
What
we've
heard
in
the
short
time
from
May
to
now,
we've
heard
that
the
community
has
been
asking
for
a
safe,
shared
community
space,
where
people
can
gather,
build
community
and
assess
essential
services
and
resources
to
support
strong
families
and
strong
communities.
U
The
creation
of
this
design,
we
will
also
bring
High
one
additional
person
on
the
Dei
team,
so
an
administrator
that
will
be
responsible
for
the
cross-cultural
program.
For
that
consistency,
we
will
also
have
a
creation
of
a
formal
culture
cross-cultural
program.
That's
a
tongue
twister
program
initiative,
including
possible
RFP
RFP
process
to
offer
incentives
to
Community
Partners,
to
develop
new
opportunities
for
cross-culture
engagement
and
activities.
U
So
finally,
I
would
like
to
close
with
our
cross-cultural
timeline
for
you,
and
this
is
just
an
opportunity
for
you
to
see
the
impact
and
the
input
that
we've
given
over
the
cross
culture
program
since
May
so
spring
of
2022.
We
have
our
directions
from
you
summer
of
2022,
We
Begin,
the
community
engagement
and
relationship
buildings
going
out
to
the
community,
observing
cultural
activities
and
programming
has
been
a
wonderful
experience,
but
what
I
have
noticed
is
that
is
single
cultures.
At
a
time
you
have
pockets
of
people
meeting.
It
is
not
cross
culture
at
all.
U
So
we're
prepared
here
now
that
we're
in
the
fall
of
2022
we're
prepared
to
hire
a
new
FTF,
FTE
staff
position
and
Community
engagement
consultant.
If
this
budget
is
passed,
the
winter
of
2023,
our
new
staff
will
begin
and
the
development
of
the
cross-cultural
program
initiative
by
Spring
of
2023.
We
will
implement
the
cross-cultural
programming
initiative
and
we
will
do
all
of
this
with
our
non-profit
Partners
involved
in
the
space.
So
thank
you.
S
A
Thank
you
very
much
great
presentation.
We're
going
to
start
with
council
member
Barksdale,
followed
by
liaison
deputy
mayor
council
member
Stokes,
Robertson
and
myself
so
council
member
Barksdale.
V
All
right,
thank
you
mayor.
Thank
you
for
the
presentations
of
both
topics
that
I'm
really
excited
about.
Continuing
to
support
and
increase.
Support
for
I
did
have
one
question
just
for
I
did
in
terms
of
the
the
Dei
work
in
terms
of
non-profit
Partners.
Is
their
funding
available
to
host
like
a
cultural
based
organization?
V
D
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
We
just
asked
for
the
cross
culture
we'll
go
back
to
ESI
as
well,
which
is
you
can
do
both
okay.
Thank
you.
I
want
to
go
yes,
I.
First
good
job
I
think
we
are
making
a
reasonable
good
progress
compared
to
before
the
increase
in
budgets
is
significant,
good
step.
I
just
want
to
be
specific
on
a
couple
of
items.
One
is
electrification.
I
know
that
the
city
is
working
on
Transforming,
Our,
Fleet
right
to
Electric,
so
I
want
to
know.
D
What's
the
status
on
that
and
and
you
talk
about,
you
know
charging
stations,
so
we
know
we're
working
on
that,
but
in
terms
of
our
cities
Fleet,
you
know
what
is
a
quick
summary.
If
you
don't
have
it,
you
can
give
it
to
me
later,
but
I
just
want
to
know,
because
I
think
that
the
people
in
the
city
they
are
very
interested
to
even
provide
a
vehicles
for
us
to
try
and
borrow
and
develop
so
I
think
this
opportunity
to
do
that.
D
So
I
want
to
know
what's
the
status,
let's
see
what
else.
Second,
it's
a
solar
right,
a
polar
right,
a
solar
solar
ride,
the
program
we
know
we're
going
to
do:
Green,
Building
commercial
space,
how
about
residential
polar
panels
a
number
of
years
ago?
We
did
that.
You
know
in
a
small,
limited
basis,
because
I
know
we
need
to
have
money
to
subsidize
to
make
it
work.
D
But
that
might
be
something
considered
because
I
believe
that,
with
the
costs
going
up
everything
energy
price
people
that
definitely
more
conscientious,
conscious
wanting
to
have
a
ways
to
keep
their
costs
down.
So
that
might
be
something
you
can
don't
need
to
say
now.
But
if
you
have,
you
can
say
a
few
things.
So
do
you
have
something
with
that
now
or
listen
I'm.
T
Sure
yeah
just
to
respond
to
both
of
those
I'm,
forgetting
the
numbers
off
the
top
of
my
head
in
terms
of
the
how
many
electric
vehicles
we
have,
we
do
have
quite
a
few
hybrid
vehicles
in
the
fleet
and
we
do
have
some
charging
stations
at
our
city
facilities,
so
yeah.
The
next
step
really
is
to
install
the
more
charging
stations
and
then
that
will
enable
us
to
you
know:
whoops,
as
we
need
to
replace
our
vehicles,
we
could
start
replacing
them
with
electric
vehicles.
T
Learn
about
electric
vehicles
and
I
think
something
we
did
in
the
past
a
number
of
years
ago,
a
ride
and
drive
event.
We've
been
wanting
to
do
for
a
while.
We
kind
of
put
that
on
hold
due
to
covid
but
I.
Think
now,
with
some
additional
resources.
We
can
maybe
look
at
doing
something
like
that
next
year.
I
think
that
is
a
great
way
to
introduce
people
to
electric
vehicles
and.
T
D
So,
thank
you
so
I
have
a
idea
of
how
many
city
fleet
has
been
converted
to.
T
D
Terms
of
course,
culture
at
my
time
is
right.
Now,
I
really
appreciate
the
presentation.
That's
great
I,
really
it
was
a
very,
very
impressive.
Happy
of
the
progress
that's
been
made.
Thank
you,
Dr,
Whitehead
and
I.
Think
you're
right
on
you
know
we're
looking
at
really
cross-culture.
We
have
lots
of
culture
programs
here,
but
they
all
separate
so
I
think
that
doesn't
meet
our
goal.
D
So
you
make
a
lot
of
good
sense
and
I
like
the
fact
that
you
are
getting
the
staff
pay
attention
focusing
on
it,
I'm
glad
the
consultant
that
actually
can
help
us.
You
know,
provide
more
directed,
more
focused
technical
support.
I
think
that's
important,
because
when
you
work
with
communities,
you're
working
with
a
lot
of
Goodwill
citizens
but
I
think
we
need
to
have
real
professions
to
help
to
do
that.
D
So
I
like
that
a
lot
and
also
working
with
Partners
I,
really
like
that
a
lot
also
because
the
partners
are
either
corporate,
Partners
or
other
partners.
They
have
a
lot
of
interests
and
needs
that
will
help
to
support
their
employees
and
I
think
they
definitely
as
part
of
the
good
corporate
citizen.
D
We
recognize
people
want
to
find
a
place
that
they
can
call
home
that
if
you
belong
that
they
can
identify
with,
rather
than
just
going
from
a
place
to
place
to
place
to
place,
they
never
know
what
happened
tomorrow
next
day,
so
I
think
it's
got
to
be
something
people
can
call
home.
So
I
really
think
that
is
a
good
Focus.
So
thank
you
for
doing
that.
W
On
thank
you
mayor.
You
know
I'm
super
excited
too
about
both
of
these
topics.
I
think
it's
so
foundational
to
accelerate
our
environmental
efforts,
as
well
as
the
people-centered
work
around
Equity.
So
I'm
I'm
really
excited
to
see
this
budget.
I
do
have
a
couple
of
questions.
One
is,
as
we
think
about
this
budget
going
to
2024
on
the
sustainability
side.
I
know
in
the
summertime
we
saw
the
wedge
analysis.
We
saw
that
we
were
not
quite
reducing
greenhouse
gas
to
the
degree
that
we
need
to.
W
W
Because
I
would
like
to
understand
with
these
commit
Investments
where
we
think
we
will
be
by
the
end
of
2024
and
whether
we're
on
track
I
I,
like
the
fact
that
we're
both
focusing
on
Municipal
as
well
as
Community,
with
both
solar
and
EV,
as
well
as
residential
and
Commercial,
so
excited
about
that
on
the
on
the
ESI
or
sorry?
On
the
Dei
part
I'm
curious
about
the
community
generated
recommendations
for
changes
in
City
policies
and
practices.
W
Where
are
we
in
that
Journey
with
the
Triple
C
group
and
is?
Do
we
already
have
some
of
those
recommendations
where
some
of
this
funding
would
go
towards
implementing
or
are
we?
Where
are
we
in
the
timeline
for
creating
those
Community
generated
recommendations?
W
So
as
we
look
at
the
funds,
I
guess,
what
I'm
trying
to
understand
is:
does
that
funding
also
create
the
the
staff
to
be
able
to
host
different
events
or
or
be
able
to
keep
the
lights
on
on
the
weekend
to
be
able
to
activate
spaces
like
city
hall,
or
is
that
funding
actually
going
to
be
in
Parks
or
Community,
Services
or
other
spaces?
I
was
just
trying
to
get
a
better
understanding
of
with
the
money
how
that
will
be
spent
and
how
that
might
work.
U
Well,
a
short
answer
is
that
the
money
will
be
spent
in
a
very
thoughtful
way
and
the
money
will
be
spent
to
connect
with
the
goals
that
have
been
set.
So
yes,
if
there
is
an
event
that
Triple,
C
or
B
Dan
would
like
to
host
and
it
connects
with
our
goal,
then
we
would
definitely
look
at
our
pot
of
money
and
make
certain
we're
spending
it
in
a
wise
way
and
as
far
as
where
is
Triple
C
Triple
C
Triple
C
is
on
the
right
path
of
connecting
with
the
communities
and
being
a
voice.
U
We
are
also
seeing
the
the
wisdom
and
connecting
with
be
Dan
as
well.
Be
Dan
has
been
a
part
of
the
city
external
Outreach
for
many
years.
I
actually
was
a
part
of
be
Dan,
so
very
excited
about
that
and
I
see
the
connection.
So
we
will
be
utilizing
Triple
C,
which
is
extremely
important
for
some
topics.
That's
only
for
them
and
then,
where
we
can
collaborate,
we
will
be
doing
that.
Also,
okay,.
T
I
think
maybe
we
can
follow
up
in
terms
of
like
the
specifics,
I
think
just
if
we
want
to
see
where
we're
at
at
the
end
of
2024.
You
know
we
really
won't
know
that
until
the
middle
of
2025,
once
we
do
the
greenhouse
gas
emissions
analysis,
so
it's
yeah
I,
guess
maybe
not
quite
in
sync,
with
the
next
budget
cycle,
but
yeah
I
think
we'll
have
to
follow
up
on
that.
Okay,
thank
you.
B
Thank
you
mayor.
Thank
you
both
for
a
great
presentations
tonight,
I'll
start
with
ESI.
First,
that's
a
value
statement
right.
There
increase
ESI
funding
by
10.1
million,
that's
just
outstanding
to
see,
and
environmental
stewardship
is
so
important
to
Residents
in
this
city,
as
judged
by
last
weekend
during
the
Arbor
Day
celebration,
where
we
had
a
significant
amount
of
residents
come
out
in
the
rain,
get
their
Slickers
on
their
raincoats
to
to
to
help
us.
You
know,
put
some
more
more
trees
in
action
in
our
community
and
I
was.
B
It
was
a
pleasure
to
be
part
of
that,
along
with
some
of
my
colleagues.
So
that's
really
great.
To
see
and
I
appreciate
the
comments
on
the
eev
infrastructure
and
and
the
focus
on
that
I.
You
know
we
all
want
to
get
to
Greening
our
Fleet,
but
without
that
infrastructure
in
place.
First,
let's
not
put
you
know
the
car
before
the
horse
here,
let's,
let's
really
make
sure
that
that
and
I
have
a
follow-up
question
on
that
Jennifer
in
terms
of
what
is
the
goal
with
infrastructure?
B
T
Sure
yeah,
so
it's
part
of
our
the
green
Fleet
strategy
that
we
worked
on
with
a
consultant
that
works
with
cities
and
organizations
on
this
sort
of
thing
that
I
guess
I
would
say
the
goal
was
trying
to
figure
out.
How
can
we
sort
of
most
cost
effectively
put
the
infrastructure
in
place,
so
it
will
meet
our
operational
needs
in
a
in
a
cost-effective
and
efficient
manner,
so
yeah
that
that
was
sort
of
the
the
goal.
A
lot
of
our
vehicles,
you
know,
can
just
charge
overnight.
T
B
S
We
could
just
acknowledge
that
that's
what
I
have
okay,
so
at
City,
Hall,
we'll
end
up
with
46
shared
charging
stations
and
another
six
fast
charging
stations.
So
that's
just
in
our
sitting,
Hall
parking
garages
between
the
employee
garage
and
the
police
garage.
S
That's
going
to
help
us
get
most
of
our
Fleet,
especially
our
police
cars,
as
well
as
what
I
would
call
our
Fleet
if
you
needed
to
borrow
a
car
at
the
city,
all
of
those
types
of
cars
over
at
the
BSC
we'll
have
56
dedicated
charging
stations,
another
four
fast
charging
stations
again
allowing
cars
to
be
charged
and
moved
on,
and
it
should
be
able
to
accommodate
our
Fleet.
So
we
we
do
have
analysis
that
says
that
we
are.
We.
B
B
Thank
you
so
much
okay!
Thank
you!
Dr
Whitehead!
Thank
you
so
much
for
such
a
strong
focus
on
another
important
value
of
the
city
and
the
diversity
being
our
strength
then,
and
the
the
deepening
of
that
impact
within
the
community
in
terms
of
relationships
and
in
terms
of
the
the
programming.
The
cross-cultural
programming,
which
looks
fantastic,
I
love
the
timeline
here,
just
a
quick
question
regarding
the
non-profit
partner.
B
Potentially,
what
does
that
look
like
or
what
might
be
the
ideal
non-profit
that
might,
if
you've
sketched
that
out
already-
maybe
maybe
you're
not
you're,
still
thinking
about
that
one,
but
I'm
just
kind
of
curious,
because
some
people
watching
tonight
might
be
in
a
position
where
they
might
want
to
apply
to
that.
But
what
does
that
non-profit?
Look
like
what
would
be
a
good
partner
for
us
for
that.
U
Well,
a
good
partner
in
that
field
would
be
someone
who
are
alignment
with
our
goals
and
our
values,
so
that
would
be
number
one
number
two.
We
would
be
looking
for,
a
non-profit
that
themselves
boasts
operating
operating
budget
of
a
million
dollars
in
excess.
We'll
also
would
be
looking
for
a
non-profit
and
then,
as
we
look
at
their
board,
we
would
be
looking
for
board
members
of
with
influence.
A
Why
don't
we
go
on
to
council
member
Robertson
we'll
come
back
to
council?
Member
still
I'll
be
brief.
X
Yeah,
you
know
our
budget
is
our
biggest
policy
document
and
it
it
says
what
we
value
and
the
two
presentations
tonight,
I
guess
we're
putting
our
money
where
our
values
are
and
I
think
that
that's
wonderful,
so
really
pleased.
Don't
have
any
issues
have
a
couple
of
comments,
though.
X
I
think
that
our
hope
and
I
think
I
think
you've
confirmed
this
before
Jennifer,
that,
when
we're
converting
to
the
electric
vehicles
that
we
are
thinking
about,
what
our
backup
plan
is
to
make
sure
that
we
have
vehicles
that
can
be
used
in
the
Cascadia
Rising
type
situation,
so
whether
we're
considering
whether
some
should
be
hybrid,
whether
we
have
a
backup
Source
if
the
grid
goes
down
for
any
extended
period
of
time,
our
police
are
going
to
need
to
get
places
even
if
the
grid
is
down
and
especially
if
the
grid
is
down.
X
T
Yeah,
that's
definitely
part
of
the
consideration
and
one
of
the
budget
proposals.
I
think
that's
separate
from
the
EV
charging
infrastructure
is
to
expand
the
or
replace
the
backup
generators
at
the
Bellevue
service
center
I
think
anyway.
So
yeah
I
think
ensuring
that
backup
power
is
is
essential,
and
did
you
want
to
speak
to
that
as
well?.
S
Sure
I
can
speak
a
little
bit
more
so
as
we
consider
purchasing
new
vehicles
and
we're
looking
on
the
market
about
whether
the
the
market
the
vehicles
on
the
market
will
Fleet
will
fit
the
needs
of
the
city,
we
think
about
all
those
attributes.
What
happens
if
this
happens?
What
happens
if
that
happens,
can
a
truck
carry
a
load?
That's
big
enough
in
it
to
make
the
truck
useful,
or
is
it
only
working
if
the
truck
bed
is
empty,
which
is
not
very
useful
to
us?
So
we
really
think
about.
S
X
S
Well,
it
kind
of
depends
on
the
vehicle.
What
we
try
to
do
is
find
and
make
sure
we
Surplus
in
them,
or
we
can
get
the
best
value
for
the
vehicle
that
is
on
the
market,
so
some
of
them.
That
makes
the
most
sense
for
the
end
of
all
useful
life
so,
for
instance,
a
fire
truck.
There's
not
a
lot
of
value
to
that
other
than
us
using
the
fire
truck
right.
S
Some
of
our
other
vehicles,
such
as
our
more
what
we
would
consider
more
run
around
fleet
vehicles
where
you'd
see
it
makes
a
lot
of
sense
for
us
to
Surplus
those
before
the
five-year
mark,
because
the
value
is
higher
and
we
can
get
a
newer
vehicle
and
a
newer
model
that
helps
meet
the
needs
of
the
city.
So
it
works.
X
Both
ways-
okay,
great
and
I'm-
sure
that
with
the
price
of
gas
right
now
and
the
price
of
used
cars
retiring
them,
early
in
place
of
an
electric
might
be
just
the
right
thing.
For
many
many
reasons,
and
then
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
comment
about
the
Dei
I
think
that
looking
at
the
space
across
the
city
is
really
smart.
I
know
that
we
do
the
registration
and
reservations
for
not
just
City
Fields.
X
For
example,
we
handle
the
reservations
for
some
fields
on
by
the
school
district,
and
that
makes
us
like
the
One-Stop
shop.
I
think
that
this
is
a
really
good
way
to
do
it
because
number
one
it
gets,
gets
access
to
these
kinds
of
events
out
into
the
community
where
people
are,
and
it
also
brings
people
that
are
connected
to
the
individual
non-city-owned
properties,
whether
it's
a
church
or
Bellevue,
College
or
a
library
or
school.
It
pulls
more
people
into
those
events
as
well.
X
A
So
I'll
go
ahead
and
speak
briefly,
so
I
I
knew
we
were
serious
about
Dei
when
I
saw
where
your
office
was
right
across
from
the
city
manager
and
I
really
appreciate
how
we've
elevated
this
and
made
it
a
real
integral
part
of
all
the
work
that
we
do.
I
would
only
ask
that
we
utilize
be
Dan
and
3C
groups
to
weigh
in
on
some
of
the
board
and
commission
work
that
we're
doing.
A
I
know
that
the
Parks
Board
recently
came
up
with
some
guidance
for
naming
parks
and
I
would
love
to
have
those
groups
weigh
in
on
that
as
well?
A
T
I
mean
the
additional
funding
will
definitely
help
us.
Take
a
big
step
forward
towards
achieving
those
goals
yeah.
So
we're
excited
about
that
I
think
you
know
we
will
continue
to
monitor
sort
of
the
impact
of
this
funding.
Also,
you
know
look
to
bring
in
additional
funding
through
state
or
federal
grants.
You
know
so
I
think
it'll
be
an
ongoing
process
to
track
our
progress,
but
this
will
definitely.
It
is
definitely
a
significant
investment
yeah.
A
Y
Can
good
good
one
of
these
days?
What
I
want
is
to
actually
have
a
connectivity
that
really
works
all
the
time.
Can
we
put
that
in
the
button
somewhere?
You
know
it's
been
very
interesting
conversation
just
a
few
things
on
this.
One
I
had
I'm
sorry
I've
got
I,
think
I
have
a
real
cold.
You
know
one
of
those
things
we
used
to
have
before
we
had
all
these
other
things.
Y
So,
on
the
environmental
things
just
a
question
about
I
think
it's
really
good
we're
talking
about
75
of
of
our
goal
to
the
funding
for
that
for
2030
right.
T
T
Yeah
I
think
again:
that's
where
we
kind
of
monitor
the
the
impact
of
this
funding
for
both
the
you
know,
the
community
actions
and
the
municipal
operations,
and
then
you
know
I
think
in
the
future,
we'll
you
know
re
review
the
budget
and
the
impact
it's
having
and
also
kind
of
track,
how
we're
doing
towards
our
our
goals
and
then
can
make
recommendations
if
any
additional
funding
is
needed.
Y
Yeah,
no,
that's
good
that
that's
what
I
wanted
to
hear,
because
I
think
that's
good
to
add
this.
So
people
have
a
sense
that
you
know
we
really
are
working
towards
meeting
our
goal
and
really
good
presentation.
I'm
I'm,
pretty
happy
with
it.
So
that's
that's
good
Dr,
Whitehead,
I,
I
and
again
there's
a
lot
of
stuff
here
and
I.
Don't
want
to
get
it
too
much
in
it.
I
think
it's
really
good
work!
A
couple
of
things.
Y
One
thing
is
very
interesting:
what
we're
finding
out
more
and
more
is
that
actually
we
have
a
lot
of
places
around
the
city
that
would
serve
communities,
not
just
one
one
building
somewhere
in
in
part
of
Bellevue,
and
we
could
actually
serve
a
lot
more
people
by
looking
at
all
of
these
facilities
and
groups
together.
Y
So
I
think
that's
that's
very
interesting
and
you
know
we
can
work
all
those
things
together,
but
I
appreciate-
and
this
is
something
we
haven't
had
in
the
past-
isn't
really
taking
a
hard
look
at
what
is
actually
out
there
as
opposed
to
what
people
kind
of
think
should
is
out
there
and
what
we
want
to
do.
So,
it's
I
think
it's
good
progress
in
terms
of
getting
our
assets
together
and
getting
the
groups
together,
and
you
know
the
I
mean
there
are
so
many
different
groups.
Y
Y
The
the
other
thing
is
that,
and
it's
just
listening
to
the
presentation,
I
understand
right
now
that
the
focus
is
on
the
the
Multicultural
and
the
the
basically,
you
know
groups
that
have
not
been
as
involved.
There
aren't
as
much
all
these
efforts
and
now
understanding
how
we
can
work
together,
but
the
other
thing
I
hope
we
don't
lose
is
that
we
focus
on
this
and
that
we
we
don't
develop
a
better,
more
inclusive,
more
actually,
one
that
will
actually
get
the
whole
Community
working
together,
and
so
this
doesn't
become
well.
Y
This
is
a
program
that
is
kind
of
has
a
certain.
Well,
it's
not
bringing
everybody
together,
so
I
think
the
the
whole,
the
piece
of
equity
and
inclusion,
hopefully
will
begin.
It
will
at
some
point,
be
all
all
people
who
live
in
Bellevue
as
opposed
to
like
we
have
it
now
separated
where
you
have
certain
groups
that
have
been
dominated.
Y
You
know,
build
the
whole
thing,
we're
trying
to
change
that,
but
let's
change
it
to
something
that
is
more
inclusive,
a
more
active
and
actually
service
to
all
the
citizens
and
I
think
we
can
get
there
too.
I
really
appreciate
the
work,
that's
done
and
I
hope
we
get
the
not
that
the
the
Consultants
are
looking
at
this
as
a
if
it's
Multicultural
includes
everybody
in
the
city.
Yes,
oh
and
I,
think
that's
that's!
Y
The
point
that
will
actually
get
us
to
having
an
inclusive
Society,
and
it's
just
amazing,
work
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
actually
looking
at
it
having
our
conversations
going
forward.
Thank
you.
That's
that's
about
all
I
was
thinking
about.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
A
Great
well,
thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you,
I'm
going
to
call
for
a
break
here
and
we
will
reconvene
at
20
till.
K
Ahead
and
turn
it
over
to
Tony
sparz,
our
assistant
director
she's
also
joined
with
Leslie
Miller.
The
human
services
manager
both
are
from
the
parks
and
Community
Services.
We're
also
have
Benjamin
Piper
here,
who
is
the
chair
of
the
Human
Services
Commission,
who
will
participate
in
the
presentation
as
well?
That'll
turn
it
over
to
the
staff.
S
Z
Z
This
evening
we
will
review
the
process
undertaken
by
the
commission
to
form
the
recommendations
for
the
three
separate
funding
sources:
the
Human
Services
fund,
housing
stability
program
and
cdbg.
Commissioner,
chair
Piper
will
now
provide
an
overview
of
the
preparation
for
the
funding
cycle
undertaken
by
the
commission
and
staff
and
the
application
review
process.
AA
AA
Thanks
so
much
both
staff
and
the
commission
spent
over
a
year
preparing
for
this
current
funding
cycle
staff
and
Commissioners
began
working
on
the
Human
Services
needs
update
in
early
2021.
AA
Staff
also
offered
an
information
session
in
the
fall
of
21.,
so
new
applicants
or
agencies
with
new
staff
understood
the
expectations
of
agencies
Contracting
with
the
city,
so
that
they
had
time
to
become
prepared
to
apply.
For
it,
pleased
to
say
that
the
Outreach
to
the
community
to
small
and
new
non-profit
organizations
worked.
The
commission
reviewed
an
unprecedented
number
of
applications
this
cycle.
AA
AA
The
Human
Services
Commission
is
very
grateful
for
the
city
council's
continued
support
to
allow
an
updated
review
of
community
needs
every
two
years.
The
information
gathered
and
Analysis
provided
enables
the
commission
to
review
applications
with
a
data
informed
understanding
of
the
needs
of
the
community.
AA
The
incredibly
High
number
of
applications
required
an
intensive
investment
of
time
from
our
Human
Services
commissioners.
The
Human
Services
Commission
is
typically
scheduled
to
meet
twice
per
month.
However,
in
order
to
complete
this
particular
review
process,
the
commission
needed
to
add
additional
meetings
and
to
extend
the
length
of
other
meetings
and
I'd
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
our
commissioners
for
the
commitment
to
our
community
and
to
its
residents.
AA
AA
AA
The
council's
investment
in
human
services
throughout
the
pandemic
has
been
tremendous
and
has
ensured
that
our
most
vulnerable
community
members
have
received
support
I'm,
proud
of
the
recommendations
being
presented
to
you
this
evening
and
the
ongoing
impact
that
this
will
make
in
our
community.
I'm
now
going
to
turn
it
over
to
Leslie
to
provide
an
overview
of
the
three
funding
sources.
Thank.
Z

The
Human
Services
fund
is
automatically
adjusted
on
an
annual
basis
using
a
formula
that
includes
the
local
cpiu
plus
one
percent
increase
for
population
growth.
In
addition,
Amazon
made
generous
donations
to
the
Human
Services
Fund
in
22020
and
2021.
The
last
portion
of
these
funds
are
included
in
the
2023-24
Human
Services
fund.

The
city
received
an
unprecedented
136
applications
up
from
106
from
2122.
The
requests
were
more
than
twice
as
much
of
the
funding
available
at
over
10
million
dollars.
We
continue
to
reduce
the
burden
on
agencies
seeking
funding
by
sharing
a
single
online
application
with
15
other

the
commission
recommends
funding
17
programs
that
support
community
members
pursuing
education
and
employment.
The
larger
support
mechanism
for
furthering
education
and
employment
goals
is
child
care.
Z
The
second
funding
source
we
will
review
this
evening
is
the
behavioral
health
and
housing
related
Services
part
of
the
housing
stability
program.
The
source
of
this
funding
is
the
0.1
percent
sales
and
use
tax
that
the
city
of
Bellevue
began
collecting
following
the
council
and
acting
resolution.
Number
9826,
State
RCW
82.14.530
allows
jurisdictions
to
collect
the
sales
and
use
tax
for
housing
and
related
services.
Z
Z
Z
The
city
receives
16
applications
for
this
housing
stability
program,
funding
for
Behavioral,
Health
and
housing
related
services.
This
included
13
applications
from
providers
that
were
funded
via
our
initial
application
process
in
2021
and
three
new
providers.
The
commission
recommends
that
the
council
fund
all
16
programs,
Behavioral
Health,
Services
requests
were
received
from
several
types
of
service
providers,
homeless,
shelter,
providers
of
culturally
specific
Services
designed
to
meet
historically
underserved
population
needs
and
a
housing
provider.
Z
The
funding
requests
for
housing
related
Services,
which
includes
case
management
and
employment
services,
were
almost
evenly
split
between
Services
intended
to
assist
people
to
remain
housed
and
services
to
support
people
becoming
house.
These
recommendations
will
make
a
significant
impact
in
supporting
our
residents,
who
are
experiencing
homelessness
or
housing.
Instability
achieve
stability.
Z
The
third
funding
source
we
will
review
this
evening
is
the
cdbg
funds.
Cgb
cdbg
is
funded
by
the
federal
government
and
administered
by
the
Department
of
Housing
and
Urban
Development
or
HUD.
The
funding
amount
identified
here
is
only
an
approximate,
because
HUD
cannot
determine
the
city's
entitlement
until
after
the
federal
budget
becomes
law,
we
are
using
our
2022
entitlement
of
807
thousand
dollars
as
a
placeholder.
Z
Z
Finally,
we
recommend
reallocating
unspent
funding
from
prior
years,
cdbg
funds
funding
pays
for
a
much
more
limited
array
of
program
areas
that
support
low
and
moderate
income
residents,
which
are
those
with
incomes
up
to
80
percent
of
area
medium
income
HUD
also
allows
a
portion
of
the
funds
to
be
used
for
the
city's
costs
for
administration
and
planning.
This
is
very
important
because
of
the
numerous
requirements
and
record
keeping
that
need
to
be
met
in
order
for
the
city
to
remain
in
compliance.
Z
Cdbg
funding
will
be
allocated
in
three
categories:
15
percent-
a
cap
set
by
Hud,
will
go
to
a
human
services
application
received
from
the
general
fund
applicants.
Please
note
that,
because
of
the
15
percent
cap,
the
city
does
not
have
the
option
to
allocate
all
its
cdbg
funding
to
cover
the
unfunded.
Human
Services
fund
requests,
the
city
received
applications
for
micro,
Enterprise
support
programs
and
to
support
housing,
repair
programs.
The
proposed
funding
levels
for
these
programs
make
up
65
percent
of
the
recommendations.
Z
The
commission
recommends
funding
three
organizations
providing
micro
Enterprise
support
in
the
community.
These
organizations
hold
specific
expertise
in
supporting
some
of
the
most
marginalized
and
underserved
residents,
including
residents
of
color.
Our
Human
Services
team
will
be
providing
a
learning
cohort
for
these
organizations
to
develop
best
practices
for
micro,
Enterprise
programs.
We
have
also
invited
a
member
of
the
city's
economic
development
team
to
participate.
Z
The
city
operates
a
housing
repair
program
for
low
and
moderate
income
households
and
has
traditionally
contracted
with
King
County,
Housing,
Authority
or
kcha,
to
manage
our
major
housing
repair
projects
and
with
sound
generations
to
provide
minor
repairs
staff
identified
a
gap
for
needed
repairs
that
fell
between
the
major
Services
provided
by
kcha
and
the
minor
Services
provided
by
sound
Generations.
As
a
result,
we
would
like
to
add
Habitat
for
Humanity
as
a
partner
to
our
housing
repair
program
to
ensure
that
residents
with
medium-sized
housing
repair
projects
are
served.
Z
These
funds
provide
critical
services
that
ensure
that
low
and
moderate
income
residents
can
stay
in
their
homes
and
develop
businesses
in
Bellevue.
The
remaining
20
percent,
a
cap
set
by
Hud,
is
recommended
to
go
to
planning
and
administration.
These
funds
support
the
efforts
of
staff
to
one
ensure
the
city
is
compliant
with
all
federal
regulations
and
support
agencies
receiving
cdb
geology
dollars
to
be
compliant
as
well,
and
two
allow
staff
to
conduct
the
appropriate
planning
and
community
outreach
to
ensure
the
funding
is
meeting
the
most
pressing
Community
needs.
Z
Council
made
significant
Investments
to
support
Human
Services
activities
in
2122
to
address
the
impacts
of
the
pandemic.
Tonight
we
provided
recommendations
for
three
Human
Services
funding
sources:
the
city's
Human
Services
fund,
the
behavioral
health
and
housing
related
Services
housing,
stability
program
and
cdbg
funding
on
October
3rd.
We
presented
to
you
a
potential
investment
of
an
additional
10
million
dollars
in
arpa
funding
to
address
remaining
critical
areas
that
impact
the
health
instability
of
Bellevue
residents
together.
These
items
would
provide
a
continuation
of
strong
Human
Services
investments
in
23
and
24..
Z
AA
Thank
you,
Leslie
on
behalf
of
the
entire
Human
Services
Commission.
I
would
like
to
thank
the
city
council
for
your
support
in
building
a
strong
foundation
for
Human
Services,
so
that
all
of
bellevue's
residents
can
Thrive
and
reach
their
full
potential.
At
this
point,
Leslie
Tony
and
I
are
happy
to
take
any
questions
you
may
have.
B
All
right,
thank
you.
Let's
see,
I
will
I
will
go
first,
not
because
I
have
the
gavel
now,
but
I
am
the
liaison
to
the
Human
Services
Commission.
So
you
know
titles
me
to
go
first
and
then
we'll
go
to
council
member
Stokes
and
then
we'll
go
to
councilmemberly
and
kind
of
go
down.
Go
down
the
line
here
so
great
presentation.
Thank
you,
Leslie!
Thank
you,
Tony!
B
Thank
you,
chair
Piper,
and
the
entire
Human
Services
Commission
for
your
work
on
these
recommendations
tonight
during
a
very
difficult
period,
probably
some
of
the
most
stressful
challenging
times
to
ever
be
on
this
commission,
as
the
needs
of
our
community
during
this
post
during
and
post
pandemic,
have
mounted
those
needs,
but
we
have
I
believe
that
the
commission
has
handled
it
with
such
Grace
and
professionalism,
while
always
keeping
in
mind
what
we
can
do
to
improve
the
lives
of
those
folks
who
live
and
call
Bellevue
home.
B
They
had
to
put
a
lot
of
work
into
this
and
I
really
appreciated
the
fact
that
every
single
application
took
the
time,
didn't
just
go
the
easy
route
and
go
with
those
pre-existing
agencies
that
we've
worked
well
before
and
we
know
they
can
deliver.
But
chair
Piper,
as
you
mentioned,
you
know
constantly
seeking
further
Community
engagement,
trying
to
get
to
those
communities
that
were
maybe
previously
underserved
or
not
heard
or
needed
different
services
or
the
services
that
we
were
offering
for
whatever
reason
weren't
being
communicated
to
them.
B
So
that
was
really
important
work
you
know,
and
the
community's
voice
is
so
Pro
is
so
vital
in
this
process
as
well,
and
that
engagement
was
was
was
was
huge
and,
as
noted
you
know,
we
saw
that
significant
increase
in
in
the
members
and
the
agencies
during
those
meetings,
the
the
awareness
of
the
vital
impact
being
made
by
by
the
commission
and
and
in
our
community
every
day-
and
you
know,
I
constantly
mentioned
the
fact
that
we
had
that
136
applications,
30
30,
30
more
than
previously
and
and
twice
as
much
in
terms
of
the
asked
versus
what
we
actually
had
available.
B
So
that
tells
you
the
situation
that
that
we
find
ourselves
in
right
now.
So
I'm
personally
very
excited
about
the
commission's
recommendations
here,
including
funding
for
for
these
agencies.
Again
that
have
served
us.
You
know
long
term
and
served
our
community
very
well
as
well
as
those
newly
funded
agencies,
with
many
holding
an
expertise
and
serving
very
diverse
members
in
our
community
and
although
they're
new
we're
still
holding
them
to
the
same
standards.
You
know.
B
Another
aspect
of
this
that
I
really
appreciate
is
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
maximizing
those
dollars,
because
they're
in
such
need
right
now
and
then
really
appreciate
the
fact
on
on
touching
on
the
recently
implemented
sales
tax
for
our
housing
stability
program
really
important
work,
that's
being
done
there
and
you
know
I
think
together.
The
city's
investment
in
these
funds
will
really
support
our
residents
across.
B
You
know
the
Human
Services
Spectrum
in
our
city
and
the
funding
sources
will
make
a
significant
impact
on
the
needs
of
our
community
and
the
potential
investment
of
that
additional
10
million
dollars
that
could
come
from
arpa
funding
into
Human
Services
for
20
23
24
that'll.
Be
critical
areas
as
well
that
we
could
help
fund
and
support
the
health
and
stability
of
other
residents
as
well,
so
I
will
stop
there,
but
no
questions
from
me,
but
thank
you
again
so
much
for
all
of
your
work
and
all
the
Commissioners.
B
Y
Thank
you,
deputy
mayor,
I,
really
I
appreciate
your
your
comments
on.
You
really
did
a
good
job.
I
mean
you,
you
know
putting
this
whole
thing
in
context
and
it's
exciting
to
see
this,
and
the
work
is
that
the
Human
Services
Commission
has
done
these
last
couple
years
has
really
been
great,
so
much
appreciated,
I
guess
what
I'm
just
looking
at
is
I
mean
I've
always
wondered
about
when
we
do
some
of
this
funding.
Y
That's
based
on
you
know
a
system
that
has
a
certain
amount
of
money
and
we
have
kind
of
go
through
planning
and
applications
and
all-
and
we
made
a
lot
of
strides
in
pushing
this,
because
we
all
know
that
the
needs
are
not
being
met
completely.
So
what
I'm
interested
in
is
US
looking
at
you
know,
going
forward
is
well
to
look
at
ways
to
increase
both
participation
by
groups
that
need
services,
but
really
somehow
don't
quite
find
how
to
do
it
and
the
funding.
Y
You
know
down
the
line
because
I
mean
these
are
our
residents.
These
are
people,
and
it
makes
the
anything
that
helps
this
makes
the
city
even
better,
and
the
question
is,
you
know
what
is
the
size
of
the
Gap,
the
real
size
of
the
gap
between
the
serious
needs
of
our
community
funding,
and
what
do
we
have
from
the
current
system?
I
think
that's
something
going
forward.
Y
We
would
appreciate
looking
at,
but
you
know
with
what
we
have,
which
is
a
great
program
and
we'll
develop
excellent
work
both
from
the
commission
and
again
Deputy
Mayor
appreciate
your
leadership
on
this
and
I'm
glad
we're
able
to
do
what
we're
doing
and
I
just
you
know
hope
we
can
continue
to
find
out
ways
to
to
do
even
better
and
again
appreciate
the
staff
and
and
the
commission
and
that's
this
is
a
this
is
a
feel-good
thing
and
I
hope
we
can
work
and
feel
even
better
next
time.
Thank.
D
Awesome
wow.
Thank
you,
chair
Piper.
Thank
you
for
your
presentation.
I've
always
said
of
all
the
commissions,
Human
Service
Commission
is
probably
the
most
challenging
the
most
difficult
and
that's
the
reason
why
we
gave
the
commission
you
volunteers,
the
worst
job.
There
is
the
hours
you
go
through.
You
know
looking
at
to
meet
needs
and
we
know
that
there's
no
way
to
meet
all
the
needs.
D
You
have
you
I
just
heard
Deputy
information,
how
many
applications
you
received,
and
so
you
always
you
know
short,
but
so
I
want
to
thank
the
whole
commission
and
you
for
taking
the
time
really
seriously.
As
you
know,
everybody
under
knows
working
very
hard
to
do
the
best
you
can
to
make
the
choices
decisions
are
to
make
anyway.
Choices
are
hard
when
you
are
asked
to
make
choices
like
this
is
even
more
difficult,
but
I
do
appreciate
some
of
the
things
you
are
doing.
D
You,
the
the
you're
having
different
languages
now
included
in
the
allow
the
applicants
to
use
oftentimes.
You
know
to
sort
out
the
the
applications
make
it
easier.
You
come
up
with
a
conditions
stricter
ways
to
discourage
people
applying,
but
now
you're
opening
it
up
and,
as
we
know,
pandemic
has
presented,
create
a
lot
more
challenges,
a
lot
more
needs
even
before,
and
so
and
also
our,
and
it
brings
out
a
lot
of
the
needs
that
we've
never
seen
before.
D
You
know,
and
so
the
council
has
been
talking
about
during
the
pandemic
period,
how
to
build
capacities
so
that
we,
you
said
that
before
have
people
The
Messengers,
who
can
communicate
with
the
people
who
are
in
need
that
we
don't
see
some
of
these
needs
because
we
don't
have
the
right
Passengers,
The
Messengers.
They
don't
know
how
to
approach,
how
to
open
the
doors.
So
I
think
that's
really
good.
So
my
question
is
your
your
Grant,
your
your
people,
who
you
you
grant
the
money
to
how
many
are
new
providers?
D
D
D
D
D
Yeah,
but
you
do
have
new
providers,
we've
never
done
that
have
accepted
like
money
from
before
and
they
are
eligible
because
of
the
way
that
you
have
structured
your
program.
That's
good
yeah,
so
I
like
that.
So
thank
you
for
doing
that.
That's
a
real
demonstration
of
your
success
and
that
really
provides
the
capacity
building
that
we're
talking
about.
You
got
more
capacity
to
provide
more
services
to
more
people
who
have
never
had
opportunity
to
get
it
before
so
I
think
that's
good,
so
you're
meeting
new
needs
one.
D
One
of
the
thing
is
before
you
know:
I
say
one
more
time.
I
want
to.
Thank
you,
the
commission,
for
all
the
work
you
do
is
I
notice
on
the
cdbg
program.
You
know,
which
is
actually
now
smaller
piece
from
the
federal
government.
You're
part
of
the
program
has
a
planning
and
administration
Administration
piece.
D
Z
We
will
certainly
take
a
look.
I
will
say:
we
are
challenged
by
the
number
of
requirements
that
the
federal
government
has
and
so
I
would
say
that
I
I
think
we
are.
We
try
to
be
really
good
stewards
of
the
money
and
we
agree
that
as
much
money
going
out
the
door
as
possible.
But
if
we
aren't
successful
in
making
sure
the
dollars
go
out
properly,
then
we
will
have
issues.
So
there
are
a
number
just
not
just
Administration
but
also
planning
requirements
that
we
are
fulfilling.
Z
So
that
is
traditionally
how
the
funding
is
used
to
provide
pay
for
the
staff
to
be
good
stewards,
yeah.
AB
I'm
sorry,
councilman
really
I
was
just
going
to
add
a
new
innovative
of
thing
that
staff
are
doing
with
some
of
those
dollars
this
next
year
as
well.
So
you
might
have
noticed
that
there
are
three
micro
Enterprise
programs
that
are
being
recommended
for
funding
and
so,
with
the
council's
priority
of
increasing
funding
to
new
small
emerging
agencies,
the
way
that's
being
made
possible
is
by
staff
offering
a
cohort
to
support
those
agencies
to
be
successful
with
their
cdbg
funding.
AB
B
W
Thank
you,
Tony,
Leslie
and
Ben
for
the
presentation
and
all
the
hard
work
and
welcome
Leslie
to
the
city.
I
think
that
you've
been
here
for
a
few
months
and
we're
excited
to
have
your
expertise.
W
W
I
appreciate
the
efficiencies
of
the
application
being
good
for
15
cities
and
and
single
invoice,
and
all
of
that,
and
yet,
when
I
think
about
holistically
looking
at
2022
and
23,
we
are
holistically
1.7
million
less
in
total
Investments
going
out.
That
was
the
one
slide
that
you
had
and
I'm
thinking
about
the.
So,
how
do
we
help
with
that
shortfall?
W
What
are
the
other
partners
that
we
might
be
able
to
look
for?
Are
there
any
other
Grant
programs
that
do
matching
that
we
can
find
I
read
in
the
packet
that
we
did
get
several
million
dollars
from
Amazon
to
support
Human
Services?
Are
there
other
businesses
that
are
in
our
area
that
sees
that
level
of
Gap
and
can
help
step
in
so
I
guess
my
ask
would
be?
Can
we
shake
the
trees
a
little
bit
more
to
see
what
else
is
possible?
W
You
know
earlier
tonight
we
heard
about
funding
very
necessary
funding
for
Dei,
as
well
as
sustainability.
I
am
trying
to
better
understand,
as
we
do
those
trade-offs
seeing
this
level
of
a
gap
with
people
still
struggling.
What
else
can
we
do
so,
while
I
really
appreciate
you
squeezing
every
penny,
I
guess
I
I
would
just
ask
whether
there's
anything
else.
W
We
can
do
because
that
shortfall
does
seem
to
be
quite
substantial
and
trying
to
Envision
how
if
any
of
us
were
asked
to
do
a
task,
and
we
said
it
it's
going
to
take
X
and
we
say:
oh
well,
we
really
only
have
money
for
y,
so
my
last
question
would,
or
those
are
more
comments,
so
I
guess
my
question
would
be
I
know.
We
also
look
to
make
sure
that
all
of
the
requests
are
meet
the
requirements
and
eligibility.
AB
Yes,
there
is
a
gap.
I
want
to
clarify,
though,
that
that
Gap
is
spread
over
the
biennium,
so
that
first
number
was
21.22.
That
next
number
was
23.24,
so
there
is
a
difference
there
that
is
not
a
per
year
difference.
That
would
be
a
biennium
difference
and
absolutely
to
your
point,
we
are
always
looking
for
opportunities
to
shake
the
trees
and
invite
Partners
in
to
invest
in
our
residents.
V
Thank
you
fan
commission
for
the
work
that
you've
put
into
coming
up
with
these
recommendations.
I
don't
have
any
questions
but
I'll
just
say:
I'm
eager
to
get
these
funds
into
the
community
so
that
they
can
start
to
receive
the
services
that
they
that
we
know
our
community
members
need.
Thank
you
thank.
X
Presentation,
I'm
supportive
of
this
budget
as
written
and
I'm
very
appreciative
of
the
staff
and
the
Human
Services
Commission
for
all
the
extra
work.
I
know
it's
a
lot
as
I
said
in
the
last
budget
segment.
This
budget
is
our.
It
shows
our
values
and
putting
Cola
into
our
Human
Services
Grants
is
excellent.
I
think
that
that's
the
right
thing
to
do,
especially
in
a
time
of
rising
inflation
and
I,
just
want
to
tout
Partnerships.
We
talk
about
Partnerships
a
lot,
but
you
know
with
Amazon
they
gave
2
million.
Is
that
right?
X
Two
million
dollars
I
mean
that
is
not
usual
for
a
business
in
a
city
the
size
of
bellevue's,
to
donate
that
much
to
Human
Services
I
mean
it's
really.
We
are
so
blessed
to
have
Partners
like
that
to
have
residents
who
are
willing
to
serve
like
the
plant,
the
Human
Services
Commission
I,
just
really
just,
and
we
all
want
to
make
sure
that
the
Human
Services
needs
are
met
so
and
I
I
think
we're
doing
as
as
well
or
better
than
we've
ever
done
before.
It's
NE.
X
B
K
Thank
you,
Deputy
Mayor.
Our
next
and
final
item
is,
is
a
update
on
our
development
permit
fees
in
hourly
rage.
In
addition,
we
also
have
members
are
I,
think
members
from
the
Issaquah
and
Renton
School
District
with
respect
to
the
impact
fees
that
will
be
presented
to
you
this
evening
as
well.
So
joining
us
this
evening
are
Greg
Schrader,
our
interim
co-director,
as
well
as
Jake
hesselgrave,
our
assistant
director
and
Terry
Jones
fiscal
manager,
all
from
the
development
services
that
are
turned
over
to
you
to
three
to
kick
it
off.
AC
AC
There
is
a
proposed
policy
change
for
Council
consideration
related
to
cost
recovery
for
land
use,
review
that
Jake
will
describe
in
more
detail
and
then
Terry
will
cover
the
specific
proposed
changes
to
fees
and
hourly
rates.
I'll
conclude
with
the
school
impact
fee
updates
and
a
quick
look
at
the
upcoming
calendar
leading
to
budget
adoption
later
this
year
and
with
that
Jake
I
will
turn
it
over
to
you.
AD
Thank
you
Greg
good
evening,
deputy
mayor
council
members,
it's
great
to
be
with
you
this
evening,
as
we've
reported
to
Council
in
the
past.
This
has
continued
to
be
a
very
robust
development
cycle.
It's
spanned
over
nine
years
in
duration
now,
which
is
well
beyond
anything
that
we've
experienced
in
the
City
previously
and
I
think
what
has
stood
out
with
this
development
cycle
even
more
than
some
in
the
past
is
the
high
level
of
investment
being
made
across
the
city.
AD
However,
as
we
all
know,
there
is
a
risk
of
the
of
a
recession
on
the
horizon
and
we're
starting
to
see
some
indicators
of
fewer
office
projects
moving
to
construction
and
some
Cooling
in
the
single-family
housing
market
is
interest
rates
start
to
rise.
While
these
signs
bring
some
uncertainty
into
the
development
for
forecast,
there
is
still
a
large
amount
of
development
activity
going
on
in
the
community
out
there
to
highlight
what
that
activity
looks
like
this
first
slide
here
shows
our
permitting
volumes.
The
Top
Line
represents
applications.
AD
This
next
chart
shows
the
construction
valuation,
and
this
is
where
you
start
to
really
see
the
level
of
investment.
This
is
construction
valuation
marked
by
issued
building
permits.
As
you
move
left
to
right
on
the
chart.
The
different
bars
are
broken
down
by
different
building
permit
segments,
starting
with
new
single
family
on
the
bottom,
followed
by
commercial
author
or
excuse
me
residential
alterations,
above
that
the
dark
blue
is
commercial
alterations
or
tenant
improvements,
and
then
that
Top
Line
are
the
major
projects.
AD
Is
you
look
over
on
the
right
hand,
side
of
this
chart
at
the
end
of
Q3?
We
were
just
under
one
billion
dollars
in
construction
valuation
issued,
and
we
do
estimate
will
fall
somewhere
in
the
range
between
what
we
saw
in
2020
and
what
we
saw
in
2021,
so
a
little
bit
of
a
drop
off,
but
still
a
remarkable
year
in
terms
of
that
activity
being
pushed
out
to
Construction.
AD
So,
as
I
begin
to
talk
about
how
we
are
responding
to
development
activity,
I
think
it's
important
to
start
by
acknowledging
that
managing
through
this
development
cycle
has
been
challenging,
and
we
have
seen
some
of
those
challenges
reflected
in
the
customer
feedback
we
have
received
more
recently.
Certainly,
the
challenge
of
attracting
and
retaining
talent
in
a
very
competitive
job
market
has
been
reflected
in
that
performance
feedback
at
times.
AD
So
shifting
gears
a
bit
I'd
like
to
get
into
the
main
part
of
the
presentation
and
talk
about
the
development
services,
funding
structure
and
financial
management
guiding
principles.
These
principles
that
you
can
see
here
have
been
in
place
for
many
years
now
and
they
really
serve
as
the
basis
of
the
line
of
business
and
help
to
guide
our
annual
cost
of
service
study.
As
a
reminder,
development
services
operates
as
an
Enterprise
fund
similar
to
a
private
business,
and
we
do
that
through
a
funding
structure
that
can
support
the
line
of
business
through
economic
Cycles.
AD
The
funding
structure
allows
us
to
maintain
fairly
stable
rates
as
we
move
in
and
out
of
development
Cycles.
It
also
allows
us
to
make
investments
in
technology
tools
and
retain
Core
Staffing
when
we
go
into
a
downturn
so
that
that
Staffing
is
available
to
work
on
process
improvements
and
then
also
be
available
to
respond
as
development
activity
picks
back
up.
AD
The
Guiding
principles
also
established
that
permit
applicants
should
pay
for
the
services
that
they
receive,
meaning
that
that
money
only
goes
towards
development
services
and
that
our
fees
should
remain
predictable
and
understandable
for
our
customers
and
then,
finally,
that
our
fees
are
staying
regionally
competitive,
which
is
another
factor
that
we
look
at
each
year.
In
conducting
the
cost
of
service
study.
AD
So
this
next
slide
is
where
I'd
like
to
spend
some
time
talking
about
our
cost
recovery
objectives
and
the
proposed
change
to
the
land
use,
review,
cost
recovery
objective
is
outlined
in
tonight's
agenda
materials
and
I
will
start
by
saying
that
development
services
operates
under
a
full
cost
recovery
model.
We
receive
revenue
from
two
sources,
the
fees
that
we
charge
to
our
customers
and
then
for
certain
Services.
We
receive
a
subsidy
from
the
general
fund
within
that
kind
of
overarching
cost
recovery
model.
AD
As
you
can
see
here,
we
have
those
current
fees
which
have
been
been
endorsed
by
the
council
since
2003
on
the
top,
and
then
the
proposed
cost
recovery
objectives
down
there
on
the
bottom
and
I'll
just
take
a
brief
minute
to
walk
through
each
one,
starting
on
the
left,
with
public
information
time,
as
well
as
our
code
and
policy
work,
which
the
council
is
very
familiar
with,
and
those
services
that
fall
into
that
category.
The
funding
comes
from.
Our
rates
are
I'm.
AD
Sorry,
the
funding
does
not
come
from
our
rates,
but
rather
from
a
general
fund
subsidy.
The
next
box
is
our
pre-submittal
support,
which
is
that
early
engagement
time,
particularly
on
the
major
projects
prior
to
an
actual
application
coming
in
the
door
and
again
none
of
this
funding
comes
from
our
rates,
but
rather
from
the
general
fund.
AD
The
land
use
discretionary
review
in
that
next
box
is
where
we
start
to
see
a
portion
of
the
funding
from
our
rates
with
50
percent,
coming
from
the
rates
and
50
percent
coming
from
general
fund
subsidy,
as
you
can
see
on
the
proposed
line
down
on
the
bottom
of
the
slide.
This
is
where
we're
recommending
the
council
consider
adjusting
the
cost
recovery
objective
to
100
fee
supported
to
align
with
our
other
review
services.
AD
AD
The
other
thing
that
this
policy
change
does
is
it
allows
us
to
take
a
little
pressure
off
of
the
general
fund,
especially
in
times
like
we're
experiencing
now,
and
it
helps
us
prepare
for
that
all-important
process.
Improvement,
work
that
I
referred
to
earlier,
that
can
deliver
efficiencies
for
our
staff
and
our
customers
and
then.
AD
Finally,
this
change
really
helps
us
respond
to
the
growth
we
are
experiencing
and
in
particular,
as
I
mentioned
previously
during
those
times
when
we
need
to
be
more
Nimble
in
our
response
to
development
activity
on
the
land
use
front,
we
feel
with
the
council's
support,
aligning
the
cost
recovery
objective
for
land
use
with
our
other
review
services
and
our
other
Revenue
backed
services
that
it'll
help
us
move
more
quickly
and
more
Nimble
in
the
future.
In
response
to
development
activity
and
with
that,
I
will
pass
the
presentation
over
to
Terry.
AE
The
proposed
fee
adjustments
are
a
result
of
our
annual
cost
of
service
analysis
that
we
conduct
to
ensure
we're
maintaining
an
alignment
with
our
financial
policies
and
our
cost
recovery
objectives.
They
are
routine
adjustments
to
our
hourly
rates,
inflationary
adjustments
to
the
valuation-based
fees
and
adjustments
to
our
one-time
flat
fees.
AE
AE
The
hourly
rate
for
transportation
review
and
inspection.
Services
is
proposed
to
increase
by
5.3
percent
Fire
review
and
inspection
by
4.9
percent
and
utilities
review
and
inspection
by
5.9
percent.
The
factors
that
impact
the
rates
include
salary
and
benefit
costs,
inflationary,
mno
and
cost
changes
for
their
internal
overhead,
which
include
staff
development
and
training
and
recruitment.
AE
For
building
permits,
we
use
the
value
of
the
project
to
set
the
fees.
The
routine
adjustments
are
to
update
the
ICC
valuation
table
and
adjust
the
regional
state
Washington
State
modifier
from
1.14
to
1.13.
AE
For
some
high
volume
permits
we
charge
a
flat
fee
based
on
the
average
hours
of
review
and
inspection
time,
and
the
flat
fee
can
change
by
the
hourly
rate
and
or
the
average
time.
Because
of
this,
some
fees
increase
and
some
decrease
shown
are
two
examples
for
land
use
review
on
a
tenant
Improvement.
The
increase
is
92
dollars
for
full
cost
recovery
and
another
flat
fee
is
for
utilities
review
of
sites
who
are
permit
where
the
increase
is
twenty
dollars.
AE
A
couple
of
valuation-based
fee.
Permit
examples
include
fees
for
all
review
and
inspection
services
required
to
complete
the
permit.
In
the
case
of
a
tenant,
Improvement
project
valued
a
hundred
thousand
dollars.
The
total
change
in
fee
is
179
dollars
and
for
the
single
family
edition
of
500
square
feet,
the
total
change
in
fees
is
338
dollars.
AE
To
ensure
that
we're
regionally
competitive
we've
compared
our
fees
to
our
neighbor
jurisdictions,
Seattle
King,
County,
Redmond,
Kirkland
and
Issaquah
the
chart
Compares
2022
rates.
As
we
don't
know
what
adjustments
the
other
jurisdictions
will
make
for
2023.,
and
this
chart
compares
the
current
valuation
based
fee
for
a
hundred
thousand
dollar
tenant.
Improvement
permit
and
Bellevue
fees
are
the
light
blue
bar
and
fall
in
the
range
between
King
County
and
Seattle
Redmond
Kirkland
Issaquah
charge
lower
fees.
AE
This
next
chart
is
for
a
500
square
foot
single
family
Edition
and
again
the
light
blue
bar
is
bellevue's
fee
compared
to
our
neighbors.
Bellevue
falls
again
in
the
range
between
Seattle
and
King
County
and
Redmond
Kirkland
and
Issaquah
charge.
Lower
fees,
Seattle,
King,
County
and
Bellevue
are
jurisdictions
with
full-cost
recovery
objectives
for
permit
fees,
while
Redmond
Kirkland
and
Issaquah
Permit
costs
are
part
of
their
general
fund.
AC
Thank
you,
Terry
and
Jake
I
appreciate
that
as
Council
may
recall,
development
services
collects
School
impact
fees
for
new
single-family
and
multi-family
residential
units
in
the
areas
where
the
Issaquah
and
Renton
school
districts
overlap,
the
city
of
Bellevue
and
those
fees
support
construction
of
capital
facilities.
The
charges
are
a
pass-through
amount
that
the
city
transfers
to
the
two
school
districts
without
charging
any
administrative
fee,
since
it
supports
School
services
for
Bellevue
families.
The
impact
fees
are
addressed
by
chapter
2218
of
Bellevue
city
code,
as
city
manager
Miyaki
indicated
earlier.
AC
AC
This
the
map
on
this
slide
shows
the
four
school
districts
that
lie
within
the
city
of
Bellevue
and
to
the
lower
left.
You
see
a
small
area
that
the
Renton
School
District
extends
into
the
southwest
corner
of
Bellevue
and
to
the
lower
right.
The
Issaquah
school
district
extends
into
the
southeast
corner
of
the
city.
In
addition,
the
Lake
Washington
school
district
can
be
seen
in
the
north,
but
Lake
Washington
does
not
currently
charge
a
school
impact
fee.
AC
The
impact
fees
are
determined
by
a
formula
that
takes
into
account
both
the
school
district's
Capital
facilities
plan
and
the
estimated
number
of
students
per
new
residential
unit.
The
proposed
changes
for
2023
are
primarily
decreases
as
indicated
on
this
Slide.
The
Issaquah
single-family
fee
is
dropping
substantially
by
almost
nine
thousand
dollars,
and
the
multi-family
fee
is
also
dropping
for
Renton.
The
single-family
fee
is
increasing
slightly
well.
Multi-Family
is
decreasing
about
a
thousand
dollars.
AC
And
I
will
conclude
with
a
slide
that
you
saw
earlier
this
evening
when
Finance
director
Tony
call
walked
you
through
this.
Just
a
reminder
that
this
is
the
last
of
the
October
study
sessions.
There
is
the
last
public
hearing
on
November
7th
and
a
placeholder
on
November
14th
for
an
additional
study
session
if
needed,
and
a
tentative
adoption
date
for
the
budget
on
November
21st.
AC
And
last
I
just
would
remind
Council
that
this
is
for
informational
purposes,
but
we
are
seeking
feedback
on
the
fees
and
hourly
rates
and
of
course
we
are
happy
to
to
answer
any
questions
and
with
that
Deputy
Mayor
I'll
turn
it
back
to
you.
B
Thank
you
so
much
and
thanks
for
the
great
presentation,
I'll
reverse
the
order,
this
time
we'll
start
with
councilmember
Robertson
and
then
Barksdale,
Zahn,
Lee
and
then
councilmember
Stokes
and
then
finish
with
me.
So
I'll
turn
over
to
council
member
Robertson.
First
thank.
X
You
first
I
support
the
100
cost
recovery.
A
lot
of
cities
use
that
model,
I,
think
it's
very
normal
and
I
think
that
we
need
to
do
what
we
can
to
make
sure
that
our
fee-based
systems
cover
their
cost
I.
Absolutely
support.
Adding
all
of
the
ftes
to
permit
processing
I
think
that's
really
an
important
aspect
of
providing
excellent
service,
but
it
needs
to
be
paid
for
so
I'm.
X
AF
Calculation,
we've
recently
lost
some
staff
here
that
are
the
key
members
that
prepare
the
information.
We
had
a
consultant
that
couldn't
make
it
tonight,
so
I
will
do
my
best
to
answer
your
questions.
Foreign
last
year
we
still
had
a
middle
school.
Six
was
a
a
large
growth
project
that
was
that
finished
up
last
year,
and
that
was
one
of
the
reasons
for
the
the
increase
that
was
there
in
20.
AF
What
we
call
our
21
Capital
facilities
plan
and
the
drop
to
this
year,
as
explained
to
me,
was
due
to
the
fact
that
project
came
off
the
opt
it
was
completed
and
came
off
the
capacity
the
list
of
capacity
projects
were
down
to
two
projects
left
who
was
discussed.
It
was
pointed
out
to
me
that
our
student
generation
rate
has
dropped
significantly
from
last
year
and
in
the
high
school
level,
and
it's
we
got.
We
got
a
lot
of
questions
last
year
about
the
increase,
but
the
capital
facilities
calculations.
AF
The
calculation
showed
that
that
was
the
amount
that
was
to
be
charged
and
this
year
with
the
student
generation
rates
down
capacity
projects
completed.
That's
why
you're
seeing
the
large
draw?
Okay,
we
do
the
calculations
every
year.
We
take
all
the
factors
into
consideration.
It's
meant
to
reflect
this,
the
development
that
is
going
on
as
compared
to
the
projects
that
we
have
going
and
the
need
that
we
have.
AF
X
Okay,
yeah,
that's
a
quite
a
big
drop,
so
I
guess
my
only
other
questions.
Question
is,
and
this
just
occurred
to
me
today:
I
always,
we
always
pass
through
school
impact
fees.
It's
just
kind
of
an
automatic
guest
vote
do
all
of
the
other,
but
we're
not
required
to
to
do
it
as
asked.
AF
AC
AG
Yes,
I
am,
and
with
regard
to
the
Renton
School
District
specifically,
and
the
future
the
few
jurisdictions
that
do
collect
for
us,
we
have
a
I
guess
a
standard
of
what
we
have
put
forth
in
the
past
from
our
calculation.
We
have
not
had
any
changes
from
one
jurisdiction
to
another,
so
you
know
what
what
you're
approving,
if
you're
approving
it
as
we
are
asking
that
would
be
consistent
with
what
other
local
jurisdictions
are.
AG
We
similarly
have
five
or
six
different
jurisdictions
within
our
district,
however,
I
would
add,
and
just
to
kind
of
help,
Tom
out
and
some
of
his
answers
there.
It's
really
typical
for
a
a
school
when
a
school
is
added
to
a
capital
project
in
response
to
growth
within
that
District,
it's
not
it's
not
being
added
to
replace
an
old
school
or
it's
not
a
school
that
just
really
needs
to
be
renovated,
but
it's
a
school
that
is
being
built
or
capacities
being
built
to
address
recent
growth
within
that
area.
AG
X
B
W
Yes,
I
too,
am
supportive
of
the
proposed
cost
recovery,
with
the
going
from
50
to
100
I.
Think
it's
the
it's
a
thoughtful
way
of
making
sure
that
costs
are
borne
by
those
that
are
utilizing
that
service,
and
so
it's
an
important
aspect
of
how
we
do
business.
So
thank
you.
B
B
This
is
a
record
now
I
feel
guilty
for
asking
a
question
myself,
but
I
know
that
the
the
mayor
would
would
scold
me
if
I
didn't
ask
this
one
question.
So:
are
there
any
breaks
to
either
the
impact
fees
or
the
building
fee
adjustments
or
the
proposed
fees?
Are
there
any
fees
that
that
those
developers
that
are
looking
to
construct,
affordable
housing
in
the
city?
Do
we
look
at
giving
them
a
break
on
the
fees
or
and
or
Expediting
their
their
permit
process?
At
all?
Thank.
AC
You
Deputy
Mayor
I'll
answer
the
part
relative
to
our
fees.
First,
so
Council
heard
an
update
on
affordable
housing
and
next
right,
work
on
October,
10th
and
staff
will
be
returning,
I
believe
in
the
December
time
frame,
with
additional
information
on
scope
and
schedule
on
implementation
of
the
direction
to
to
reduce,
provide
reduced
fees
for
affordable
housing
and
streamline
those
permits.
AC
It
is
not
included
in
this
fee
ordinance
because
the
timing
did
not
sync
up,
but
we
will
return
with
an
amendment
to
the
fee
ordinance
when
the
details
of
that
have
been
worked
out
and
for
the
school
impact
fees.
I
do
not
believe
there
is
reduction,
but
if
either
Tom
or
Tracy
have
other
information,
please
feel
free
to
respond.
AG
This
is
Tracy,
I
would
just
add
that
it's
not
prohibited
and
if
a
if
a
jurisdiction
and
or
a
development
that
was
looking
to
build,
low-income
housing
came
to
the
school
district
to
have
discussions
around
reduced
fees
specifically
for
such
a
project.
I
do
know
for
rent
and
we
are
typically
very
open
to
have
those
conversations.
But
it's
very
much
subject.
You
know,
project
by
project
developers,
not
a
lot
of
Precedence.
