A
Sorry
we're
getting
going
a
little
late
due
to
a
couple
of
technical
difficulties
with
the
microphones,
but
I
think
we
have
everything
working
now
we
have
a
study
session
tonight,
just
one
item
on
it:
we're
going
to
adjourn
a
little
bit
early
so
that
we
can
do
a
reception
and
the
first
thing
coming
up
is
a
placemaking
through
partnership
with
the
downtown
with
the
BDA
and
it's
regarding
a
lot
of
things
but
including
the
grand
connection.
So
mr.
miyagi.
B
Tonight's
presentation
is
for
an
information.
Only
no
formal
action
is
being
requested
by
the
council
this
evening
and
joining
us
this
evening
is
Jesse
kanuto.
Our
chief
economic
development
officer
to
his
right
is
Chris
Goddard,
a
public-private
partnership
manager
to
Chris's
right
is
Patrick
Bannon.
The
president
of
the
Bell
V
Downtown
Association
into
his
right,
is
Augusta
Tavares,
where
the
BDA
and
Matt
is
in
the
back.
So
with
that
I'm
gonna
go
stand
it
over
to
you
to
kick
the
presentation
off
Jesse.
C
Council
for
the
opportunity
to
brief
you
tonight
on
a
project
we've
been
working
on
for
most
of
the
last
year.
By
way
of
background,
the
council
adopted
the
ground
connection
framework
plan.
Two
years
ago
in
December
of
2017,
the
plan
called
for
for
early
action
items
for
economic
development
staff,
felt
we
could
I'll
lead
or
provide
strong
support.
Those
action
areas
were
establishing
measurements
of
success,
deploying
tactical
urbanism
and
other
pilot
projects,
identifying
partnership
opportunities
and
infusing
arts
and
culture
along
the
route.
C
These
early
action
items
were
meant
to
support
the
larger
long
term
vision
for
the
grand
connection.
They
were
also
allowed
the
city
to
utilize
existing
portions
of
the
grand
connection
like
maiden
Bower
Bey
in
downtown
parks,
compass,
Plaza,
City,
Center,
Plaza,
sidewalks,
road
improvements
and
lampposts
all
along
the
route
from
City
Hall
down
to
the
bay
recognizing
and
realizing.
The
vision
for
the
grand
connection
will
require
partnerships.
C
Now
in
February
staff
began
discussions
with
the
Bellevue
downtown
Association
about
opportunities
to
begin
work
on
those
four
early
action
areas
in
April
staff
briefed
council
on
preliminary
plans
and
tonight
the
downtown
Association
is
here
to
present
Council
with
a
briefing
on
the
years
activity.
What
that
I'll
hand
it
over
to
Patrick
and
the
video
thank.
D
You
so
much
Jessi
mayor
chairman,
ACK,
deputy
mayor
Robinson,
mr.
miyagi
councilmembers
I,
want
to
thank
you
again
for
this
opportunity
to
be
here
tonight
also
when
a
strongly
vigorously
thanked,
Community
Development
Department
for
their
partnership,
and
it
truly
was
a
partnership.
And
that's
what
you'll
hear
about
tonight.
You'll
hear
how
the
team
took
a
relatively
modest
project
powered
by
mutual
goals,
and
it
worked
across
agencies
among
volunteers,
with
property
owners
and
businesses
on
the
grand
connection
corridor
and
looking
back
is
really
helping
us
look
forward.
D
The
gesture
of
yellow
lanterns
and
high
quality
movable
seating
is
a
pretty
basic
concept,
but
it
also
is
a
big
leap
forward
for
lessons
learned
about
how
activation
and
daily
programming
work
across
lines
and
through
the
heart
of
downtown.
We
know.
Partnership
requires
adaptability,
patience,
creativity,
problem-solving
and
a
lot
of
perseverance,
the
grand
connection
and
the
steps
we
take
together
to
realize
the
bold
vision
can
act
as
a
catalyst
for
our
economy
and
community
good.
D
D
A
key
moment
for
me
was
standing
on
a
ladder
reaching
around
tree
limb,
zip,
tying,
yellow,
lanterns
lots
of
people
walked
by
and
they
tend
to
kind
of
stop
and
look
up
and
with
curiosity,
ask
what's
going
on
and
I
would
tell
them
about
the
grand
connection,
I'd
tell
them
about
the
project
and
then
I
would
wait
for
an
answer
right
here.
How
cool
or
loved
it
way
to
go.
That's
awesome,
be
careful
up
there
and
I
could
see
it
in
those
moments
in
their
eyes.
D
This
this
glimmer
a
stronger
connection
to
the
place
around
them,
and
it
really
was
a
symbolic
reaction
for
the
many
future
connections.
We
hope
to
make
together
I
climbed
a
ladder
and
clean
some
tables,
but
the
lion's
share
of
this
pilot
activation
was
led
by
the
talented
duo
of
Augusta
DeVries
and
Matt
Jack
from
our
BDA
team
working
with
the
city's
economic
development
pros.
They
made
it
happen
and
have
key
findings
to
share
and
I'll
turn
it
over
to
Augusta
and
Matt.
Now.
E
F
B
F
Okay,
excellent
so
the
neck,
so
we
can
just
jump
to
the
I'm
sure
they'll
get
I'm
sure
they'll
get
to
it.
So,
with
the
grand
connection
on
the
first
first
slide,
looking
through
the
the
map
that
we
created
for
this
project,
the
grand
connection,
vision,
vision,
ambitiously
links,
people
to
destinations
through
purposeful
placemaking
from
east
trail,
all
the
way
to
Maine
Bauer
Bay.
Some
of
these
attractions
have
been
implemented.
Some
are
well
on
their
way
to
being
planned
and
and
brought
brought
to
life.
F
If
you
look
at
the
big
picture,
we
see
that
it's
critical
for
uniting
downtown
will
Burton
and
Belle
read
as
one
interactive
growth
area,
but
we're
here
to
talk
about
our
pilot
project
and
why
activation
is
important
to
stimulate
this
ambitious
vision.
A
pilot
project
starts
small
and
samples
the
potential.
So
where
did
we
start?
The
focus
slide.
F
Our
focus
so
for
this
past
summer
pilot,
we
proposed
focusing
a
pilot
project
on
the
stretch
of
the
Grand
connection
between
Bell
V
Way
and
the
Bell
V
Transit
Center.
We
needed
to
do
something
that
was
manageable
and,
as
a
member
bit
supported
organization,
the
BDA
has
relationships
with
the
key
owners
throughout
downtown
and
along
this
entire
stretch,
all
along
that
all
along
this,
this
focus
area
to
get
a
pilot
off
the
ground
quickly.
We
leverage
we
leverage
these
relationships
and
narrowed
in
our
test
area.
F
This
area
already
sees
foot
traffic
year-round,
so
we
knew
we'd
have
an
audience
to
test
our
activations
we're
well
on
our
way.
Our
goals
were
pretty
simple
visually
stitched
together,
the
grand
connection
introduced
color
seating
and
have
some
fun
along
the
way
and
generate
public
excitement
around
future
placemaking.
F
So
when
we
started
with
our
blank
canvas,
we
once
we
narrowed
our
focus.
We
surveyed
the
landscape.
We
took
note
of
the
plazas,
the
building
facades,
the
distances
between
the
buildings.
We've
got
an
overall
lay
of
the
land,
I'm
I'm,
confident
we
probably
know
this
stretch
better
than
any
other
Street
in
downtown.
At
this
point,
you
look
at
things
differently
when
you're
trying
to
bring
it
to
life.
We
are
outside
measuring
the
distances
between
light
poles,
counting
the
trees.
F
There
are
46
by
the
Transit
Center
by
the
way,
and
we
and
in
seeking
permission
to
do
the
installations
on
private
property.
We
learned
where
the
property
lines
are
and
dug
into
who
manages
what
the
outcome
we're
pretty
proud,
that
what
we
were
able
to
envision
is
what
really
came
to
life,
and
you
can
see
just
on
this
map.
The
orange
is
where
we
had
installations
and
lanterns
in
place.
F
Seating
are
in
the
boxes,
and
so
you
can
just
see
from
that
one
stretch
from
Bellevue
way
to
a
hundred
and
tenth
there's
a
visual
connection
on
the
map,
the
lanterns
from
end
to
end.
We
were
able
to
take
the
concept
of
color
and
seating
and
weave
those
elements
through
each
property
in
a
unique
way,
filling
in
the
gaps
with
activation.
F
We
landed
on
lanterns
because
they're,
cost-effective
their
weather
resistant
enough
to
withstand
some
rain
and
a
whole
lot
of
Sun
for
one
season
and
we're
able
to
test
the
solar
units
in
each.
In
the
lanterns
as
well
for
an
added
effect
extending
the
activation
after
so
once
the
Sun
went
down,
the
lanterns
would
glow
at
least
the
ones
that
batteries
were
operating.
The
seating
was
nearly
full
every
time
we
went
out
to
monitor
over
the
lunch
hour
and
ultimately,
we
got
people
talking
to
each
other
and
feeling
like
they
were
part
of
a
community
project.
H
Just
kind
of
before
we
go
into
how
we
got
it
done
I
just
want
to
go
over
the
timeline.
Generally,
the
project's
panted
nine
months
from
January
to
September
the
seminole
from
the
seminal
idea
to
implementation
that
took
six
months
from
January
to
July,
and
then
we
had
the
project
out
in
the
public
from
July
until
September
and
then
just
a
couple
notable
highlights
along
that
timeline.
It
took
24
hours
to
install
the
lanterns
and
place
the
seating
it
took
roughly
eight
hours
to
D
install
all
the
lanterns.
H
Making
the
abstract
a
reality
requires
a
lot
of
communication.
It
starts
with
the
idea,
sharing
identifying
the
players
and
seeking
their
buy-in
listening
to
criticism
and
concerns,
and
regularly
touching
base
to
advance
the
project
and
ensuring
confidence.
The
idea
was
sparked
by
a
conversation
between
City
and
BD,
a
staff
and
that
conversation
quickly
evolved
into
meetings
and
an
inbox
full
of
emails.
We
sought
feedback
on
feasibility
from
the
city's
economic
development
team,
land
use
and
planning
team
and
transportation
team.
H
We
amble
down
the
corridor
explaining
our
preliminary
designs
to
all
of
these
awesome
folks
with
the
city
and
the
feedback
that
we
got.
That
we
received
was
incredibly
influential
in
the
final
design.
In
fact,
I'd
say
that
every
early
design
that
we
had
suggested
before
this
meeting
was
re-rendered
and
sort
of
Ries
ketched
afterwards,
so
that
feedback
was
critical
to
this
project.
H
H
They
add
color
and
life
they're
world-renowned
it's
something
if
you,
google,
placemaking
it
pops
up,
but
one
thing
about
those
umbrellas
it's
different
than
downtown
Bellevue
is
that
those
buildings
are
very
close
to
one
another
right.
You
could
easily
suspend
cabling
between
those
buildings
in
downtown
Bellevue.
We
don't
have
a
uniformed,
you
know,
pathway
with
buildings,
really
close.
We
have
you
know
large
parcels
and
we
had
to
be
aware
that,
in
order
to
activate
the
space,
we
need
to
be
adaptive
to
each
parcel.
So
that's
a
unique
thing
to
keep
in
mind.
H
As
you
activate
downtown
Bellevue,
we
toured
downtown
Seattle
thanks
to
the
city
of
Bellevue,
organizing
it
to
understand
how
they
manage
their
seating
program.
There
were
a
lot
of
key
takeaways
about
how
to
maintain,
manage
and
even
secure
seating
in
an
urban
environment.
As
Augusta
noted
earlier,
we
memorized
that
stretch
of
the
grand
connection
we
counted
every
tree.
H
We
measured
the
distance
between
each
lightpole
I
think
we
even
measured
one
time
I
timed
myself,
just
walking
it
so
not
that
it
influences
anything,
but
we
had
to
make
sure
that
all
of
our
details
were
accurate
because
when
it
comes
to
creating
a
project
within
a
limited
budget,
there's
very
little
room
for
making
an
error.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
if
we
do
something
we
do
it
right,
and
that
also
refers
to
materials.
H
So
when
you're
in
a
set,
when
you
have
a
set
amount
of
money
to
do
something
like
this,
you
have
to
make
sure
that
it
works
and
that
it
it's
successful.
So
we
purchased
some
of
these
materials
in
advance.
We
tested
them.
I
had
one
Lantern
in
front
of
my
house
for
a
month
and
every
once
in
a
while
I'd
go
out
with
a
hose
and
spray
it
just
to
see
if
I
could
knock
it
down.
H
H
We
called
this
one,
the
zig
zags-
and
this
was
you
know
we
were
really
proud
of
this
project.
It
was
also
the
most
intensive
of
all
the
different
projects
that
we
had
to
implement
along
the
corridor.
It's
four
different
levels
of
lanterns
strung
up
between
seven
different
trees.
Up
to
about
22
feet.
It
took
about
24
hours
to
get
all
of
these
lanterns
installed
200.
We
had
to
use
a
boom
lift
and
we
had
to
spend
a
ton
of
time
engineering.
This
feat,
as
you
can
imagine
so
many
different
pieces
of
hardware.
H
The
cabling
that
went
between
the
trees
were
I,
think
roughly
about
200
feet
long
and
we
were
mindful
of
the
trees
to
make
sure
that
they
weren't
damaged
and
that
they
wouldn't
fall
down.
I'm
from
the
Bellevue
Arts
Museum,
we
went
to
the
efforts
we
had
to
get
creative
with
supplies.
So
what
can
we
purchase?
That
makes
the
most
sense,
and
one
thing
that
came
to
mind
was
those
lantern
arms
that
you
see
with
hanging
baskets.
H
So
we
purchased
about
40
of
them,
and
then
we
installed
them
on
the
light
poles
along
this
stretch
and
then
suspended
the
lanterns
we
used.
We
follow
the
permitting
rules
and
used
stainless
steel
bands
and
we
added
padding
to
make
sure
that
we
didn't
scratch
the
poles
so
we're
very
mindful
of
the
place
and
in
which
we're
activating.
H
H
Now
we
get
to
implementation
all
that
hard
work
leading
up
to
one
day.
We
took
a
blitz
approach
where
the
idea
was
that
we
would
assemble
a
large
group
of
volunteers
and
then
segment
those
volunteers
into
groups,
assign
them
a
captain
and
then
give
them
a
site
that
way
within
a
one
day
period.
We
can
get
it
done
because
we
don't
want
to
interrupt
the
urban
environment
at
all.
So
we
pick
a
weekend
day
and
we
want
you
go
out
there
and
then
you
just
install
it.
Well,
it
was
successful.
H
H
H
One
prong
see
we
rebuilt
the
grant
connection
website
to
serve
as
a
modern,
interactive
from
we
design
and
place
signage
along
the
corridor,
to
tell
our
story
and
promote
the
grand
connections
full
potential,
and
we
maintain
the
project
on
a
regular
basis
to
ensure
that
it
was
tidy
and
damages
were
repaired.
It
was
important
that
we
kept
our
promise
to
the
property
owners
that
our
our
installation
didn't
look
chintzy.
You
know
if
there's
a
few
lanterns
missing,
it
would
ruin
the
spectacle.
H
So
we
were
out
there
on
a
day-to-day
basis,
cleaning
chairs,
recalibrating,
putting
them
back
in
place
and
on
a
bi-weekly
basis.
We
would
go
out
there
and
repair
lanterns
and
you
might
be
wondering,
is
vandalism
a
thing
and
the
answer
is
yes.
So
there
were
a
few
stretches
where
lanterns
would
go
missing
quite
regularly
because
they
were
within
a
jumpring.
You
know
you
could
smack
them
down.
They
do
look
like
big
beach
balls,
so
lessons
learned
there.
H
You
do
keep
some
of
your
lanterns
on
stock,
so
you
can
replace
them
and
then
lastly,
something
I
just
want
to
note
is
public
perception
and
it
is
a
buzz
worthy
project.
We
got
a
bunch
of
Instagram
and
Facebook
lit
up
with
messages
and
images,
comments
and
stories.
The
one
thing
missing
that
I
was
checking
every
day.
I
was
really
hoping
to
see
a
wedding
proposal
underneath
the
lanterns.
I
H
F
And
I'll
just
quickly
kind
of
zip
through
five,
five
or
so
takeaways
before
we
hand
it
back
over
to
the
city
staff,
if
we
look
at
takeaway
number,
one
stakeholder
support
took
time.
This
photo
was
an
initial
rendering
of
what
could
be
done
on
the
big
tree
near
Compass
Plaza
at
the
time
we
did
this.
We
didn't
know
for
sure
who
owned
the
tree,
whether
lanterns
would
even
work
whether
we'd
procure
the
lanterns,
where
we'd
procure
the
lanterns
or
what
colors
they'd
be
surprised.
F
F
We
didn't
know
if
the
birthday
party
feedback
was
a
good
or
bad
thing,
but
we
did
know
we
had
to
build
our
case
so
that
property
owners
would
sign
off
on
our
concepts
we
revised
our
plans,
took
our
visuals
back
to
the
property
owners
and
built
confidence,
one
property
owner
at
a
time.
In
many
cases,
what
started
as
uncertainty
by
the
property
owners
turned
to
curiosity
about
next
summer.
Building
momentum
for
what
this
whole
connection
could
be
at
the
heart
of
our
key
takeaways
is
the
sentiment.
Placemaking
is
place
management.
F
It
comes
from
caring
about
a
place
so
much
that
you
want
to
see
it
thrive,
something
as
simple
as
decorating.
The
light
poles
at
the
Transit
Center
turned
much
more
interesting
when
we
aim
to
get
approval
from
the
property
owner
or
manager
of
the
Transit
Center,
which
turns
out
is
quite
complicated
thing
to
track
down.
The
document
on
the
screen
is
an
excerpt
of
a
maintenance
contract
between
Sound,
Transit
and
King
County
Metro,
to
assist
with
the
upkeep
of
the
facility
and
the
transit
stops
in
the
area.
F
Just
by
persistence
and
curiosity
on
our
part,
we
were
able
to
connect
the
two
agencies
to
take
care
of
some
maintenance
and
cleaning
that
needed
to
be
addressed,
and
now
we
have
even
more
insight
to
build
on
for
future
initiatives
and
placemaking
efforts
when
we
were
prototyping
and
testing
different
installations
of
the
lanterns
we
looked.
We
worked
closely
with
the
city
staff,
as
we
mentioned,
and
we
identified
a
land
use
code
section
that
would
work
for
the
purposes
of
a
temporary
installation
occurring
across
property
lines.
F
There
isn't
a
cut
and
dry
path
to
determining
permitting
these
types
of
placemaking
activations,
but
we
navigated
the
code
closely
with
city
staff
in
the
instance
of
light
pools.
The
Code
section
above
on
the
screen
comes
from
a
state
RCW
outlining
any
installations,
need
to
withstand
wind
speeds
of
90
miles
per
hour
with
steel
band
strength
akin
to
that
of
holding
up
signs
above
a
freeway.
F
So
that's
the
kind
of
bands
we
used
on
our
Lantern
poles,
this
added
significant
time
and
cost
for
our
team,
though
we
got
through
it
with
strong
communication
with
city
staff.
A
key
takeaway
from
this
experience
is
that
placemaking
doesn't
fit
perfectly
into
the
city
code,
necessarily
there's
an
opportunity
to
work
closely
with
city
staff
to
identify
a
permitting
process
that
serves
the
temporary
place,
making
installations
and
the
goals
of
both
City
and
BDA
of
activating
downtown
public
perception.
F
People,
like
the
lanterns
84
percent,
said
they,
like
the
lanterns
90
percent,
said
they'd
like
to
see
more
creative
activations
along
the
corridor
and
with
the
seating
69
percent
said
we'd
like
to
see
more
seating
with
the
52
percent
said
that
said,
did
they
use
the
seating
that
they
didn't?
It
was,
namely
because
they
were
it
wasn't
available
when
they,
when
they
wanted
to
use
it,
which
is
a
great
case
for
making
even
more
demand
for
seating.
F
It's
a
good,
it's
a
good
story,
and
when
we
look
at
who
uses
the
grand
connection
from
our
survey
data
and
we're
we
were
dealing
with
about
155
responses
in
our
survey.
It's
not
just
workers
over
50
percent
of
the
survey
respondents
are
Bellevue
residents
placemaking,
like
the
pilot
we
tested
this
summer,
enhances
the
experience
for
retail
and
recreation
opportunities
as
well
as
live
work
trips.
Building
on
what
we've
done
this
past
summer
can
help
to
extend
the
day.
F
Keep
the
workers
here
bring
the
residents
downtown
after
hours,
it's
good
for
economic
development
and
it's
good
for
downtown,
and
so
why
is
it
important?
The
feedback
we
received
through
this
process
led
us
to
this
conclusion:
the
relationship
that
people
have
with
their
place
matters
stories
about
how
the
lanterns
cheered
up
a
workers
commute
to
leading
someone
where
they
wouldn't
otherwise
go
down
the
corridor.
This
builds
the
case
that
placemaking
makes
a
difference
in
how
people
perceive
experience
and
talk
downtown
Bellevue,
giving
people
a
reason
to
linger,
enjoy
and
invest
in
our
community.
F
So
in
closing,
it's
important
to
the
BDA
and
the
city
that
we
continue
working
to
make
a
place,
that's
attractive,
engaging
clean
and
welcoming
to
all
residents
and
visitors.
This
work
is
complex
and
time
intensive,
but
we
feel
it
is
critical
to
a
train
to
attract
and
retain
strong
activity
in
our
urban
core,
we're
committed
to
building
on
the
success
of
this
pilot
and
continue
focusing
on
place,
making
efforts
moving
forward,
we're
already
looking
forward
to
next
summer
with
plans
to
share
a
proposal
with
city
staff
in
early
q1.
J
And
I
just
want
to
wrap
up
so,
first
and
foremost,
thank
you.
Your
partnership
was
amazing.
We
did
great
work
together
and
it
was.
It
was
really
fantastic
and
but
just
before
we
move
on
to
questions,
I
think
what
we'd
like
to
do
is
just
wrap
up
with
kind
of
our
two
key
takeaways
as
staff
from
both
working
through
this
activation
with
the
BDA
and
also
through
our
kind
of
analysis
of
place,
making
efforts
around
the
country.
You
know,
first
and
foremost,
ground-level
activation
of
the
public
realm
maintenance
programming.
J
J
A
Thank
you
thanks
for
a
terrific,
not
just
presentation,
thanks
for
a
terrific
job
this
summer,
with
making
downtown
Bellevue
pop.
With
that
sight,
someone
called
it
a
colorless
steel
and
concrete
I,
actually
kind
of
like
colorful,
steel
and
concrete,
but
so
as
actually
the
one
of
the
two
liaisons
to
the
grand
Connection
project.
Mr.
A
They
really
understood
why
we
need
to
bridge
405
and
and
to
make
that
connection,
not
just
for
vehicles
with
motors,
but
for
people
to
walk
and
to
bike
and
to
make
that
connection,
and
we
talked
about-
we
did
I
did
use
the
term
tactical
urbanism
and
they
were
very
fascinated
by
it,
and
so
next
year
make
a
concerted
effort
to
get
both
of
our
senators
out
here.
Make
sure
that
Adam
is
here
and
that
that
we
get
Susan
to
come
out
for
it.
A
K
Okay,
great
great
presentation,
great
effort
on
this
I
love
this
and
I
guy
I
heard
individuals
from
so
many
people
that
noticed
it
and
we're
asking
questions
and
was
this
grant
connection?
What
does
it
mean,
etc,
etc?
So
it's
it's
a
great
great
great
project,
a
couple
questions
that
I
did
have
on
on
your
presentation
tonight.
So
one
of
the
response
about
more
creative
activations
along
the
route
in
the
future.
What
does
that
mean
exactly?
Did
you
get
any
examples
of
what
that
meant?
What
is
creative,
what
are
the
creative
activations?
F
Guess
I'll
answer
that
I
think
the
creative
activation
building
on
the
lanterns.
We
we
still
have
a
few
hundred
of
those
in
our
office.
You
might
see
those
again
I
think
that
that's
open
for
discussion
and
that's
a
partnership
with
with
city
staff.
We've
we've
we've
looked
at
even
curating
having
a
curator
come
out
who's
done
this
in
other
communities.
Okay,.
K
G
F
It
all
together,
I
think
that
we
have
within
the
BDA
the
the
relationships
and
the
the
leverage
to
kind
of
execute
and
and
make
it
happen,
but
then
that
there
can
be
others
that
can
come
out
with
with
more
creative
and
when
I
say
creative
I
mean
that's
somebody
more
creative
than
than
our
team.
It's
a
kind
of
oh
I,.
K
Think
you
guys
were
plenty
creative,
but
I
was
just
curious.
What
kind
of
feedback
you
receive,
but
I
love
the
idea
of
tying
an
artist
tying
in
bow
weather
and
tying
it
to
more
of
a
you
know:
entire
city
project
I.
Think
that's
great.
So
we
are
we're
gonna,
stick
with
the
yellow
or
question
not
that
I'm
opposed
to
it,
because
it
really
does
it
really
does
pop
and
it
was
very
noticeable
for
sure.
Is
there
anything
that
city
could
done
cuz?
He
didn't
mention
city
code
in
in
in
the
presentation
here.
F
F
These
kind
of
temporary
installations,
and
so
we
were
able
to
navigate
it
and
come
up
with
something
that
works,
and
we
were
able
to
do
it
in
our
timeline,
which
is
a
huge,
huge
accomplishment,
but
just
something
that
that
we
could
direct
entities
like
the
VDA
to
to
say.
Okay,
if
you
want
to
put
something
up,
that's
only
going
to
be
up
for
three
months:
they're
only
going
to
be
up
for
four
six
months
that
it's
not
a
permanent
installation
that
needs
that
needs.
F
L
J
H
Actually
I
think
that's.
The
beauty
of
this
pilot
project
is
like
figuring
out
what
doesn't
work
or
what's
complicated,
and
you
know
this
is
new.
You
know
the
first
contiguous
like
project
to
go
through
downtown
Bellevue,
and
you
know
most
of
time,
property
owners
will
go
out
and
do
their
own
thing
because
they
own
their
property
but
we're
using
right
away
and
we're
trying
to
build
confidence
not
only
with
the
city
but
the
property
owners
and
ourselves.
So
we
do
get
to
these
points.
Where
you
know
safety
is
paramount.
H
We
have
to
make
sure
that
these
lanterns,
even
though
they
don't
weigh
a
pound,
don't
hurt
anybody,
and
so,
if
it's
new
and
there
isn't,
if
there
are
no
guidelines
since
you
guide
our
decisions,
then
we're
gonna
have
to
reference
something,
and
in
this
case
it
just
happened
to
be
washed
on.
You
know,
piece
of
ruling,
so
you
know
I
think
in
the
future.
You
know
moving
forward
as
we
get
excited
about
activating
the
corridor,
it
could
be
a
fun
project
to
talk
about
what
are
the
guidelines
like?
H
N
N
You
know
bitterly
the
of
course
the
trip,
the
famous
one
going
and
in
Denver,
but
in
thinking
back
there
there
were
none
of
these
pieces
along
there,
the
the
the
hike
itself
and
the
grandeur
of
all
these
different
things
was
what
was
interesting
and
it
got
you
from
one
place
to
another
and
different
transitions.
But
you
just
didn't:
have
these
added
things
to
it
so,
and
we
saw
some
of
those
well
in
Denver
and
the
rumors
of
us
tree.
N
We
saw
the
lights
and
things
there,
so
it's
just
been
didn't
go
into
Dallas
the
latest
one,
seeing
what
they
did
with
the
lid
and
the
park
and
all
that
it's
just
an
BD
ASA
is
the
absolute
best
organization
than
to
bring
this
and
work
with
us
on
this.
So
just
amazing
and
and
that
continuity
and
all
that
experience
over
this
time
period.
N
And
it's
and
the
exciting
thing
is
we
were
able
to
take
because
the
grand
connections
been
in
play
for
a
long
time,
fairly
short
little
different
concept
and
then
with
the
idea
of
the
light
rail
going
across
and
that
aha
moment
where
we
looked
and
said:
hey,
there's
a
bridge:
that's
going
to
go
across
and
we've
been
working,
a
will
Burton
and
we
have
the
east
side
rail
quarters.
They
call
it
the
time.
N
And
what
do
we
do
when
the
grande
connection
just
came
forth
so
to
see
this
at
this
stage
is
so
exciting
and
what
we
have
to
do
is
figure
out
how
to
make
this
thing
happen
as
soon
as
possible.
But
it's
just
great
work
and
I
really
appreciate
your
working
together
and
getting
out
there
and-
and
you
know
besides,
actually
this
one
person
here
is
plotting
what
we're
doing
they
may
not
like
it.
N
You
know
they
have
a
different
view
of
downtown,
but
they
saying
come
on,
make
it
colorful,
make
it
playful
and
that's
what
we're
going
to
do,
yeah
so
fantastic,
and
it's
just
keep
it
up
and
great
teamwork
and
look
forward
to
actually
having
this
thing
done
and
getting
out
there
on
a
regular
basis
doing
this.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thanks.
O
Thank
you,
I
guess.
The
mic
is
not
working
so
loud
anyway.
Great
great
work,
I
mean
that's
very
creative,
and
you
know
this
is
something
that
you
know
obvious
is
very
important
for
Bellevue.
This
is
the
pedestrian
corridor,
we'll
be
talking
about
for
20
years
downtown,
and
this
is
you
know,
making
it
or
putting
it
something
with
a
soul
with
a
color
with
spirit,
whatever
you're
doing
I
think
the
space
making
is
a
great
great,
not
just
an
idea,
but
it's
a
great
job.
O
O
We
got
this
snowflake
clean
and
the
fair
we
got
lots
of
stuff
going
on
then
this
is
just
when
edition,
but
this
could
actually
become
a
or
year-round
thing
if
you
get
the
residents
involved,
so
you're
talking
partnership
partnership,
that's
not
just
a
businesses
but
its
residents
as
well.
There's
a
lot
of
residents,
organizations,
associations,
they'll,
be
very
interested
and
they
can
surely
obviously
help
with
getting
on
the
ladders
and
putting
on
defense.
The
only
key
is
you
have
to
provide
insurance
for
so
that's
the
thing
we
have
to
learn
right.
O
We
can
figure
out
how
to
do
it
right,
but
the
idea
is
clearly
and
if
it's
something
works
like
that,
you
know
you
would
kind
on
the
resources
they
can
make
it
happen.
But
definitely
this
is
the
beginning
of
getting
more
ideas
and
how
you
make
besides
a
skating
Patrick
to
work,
we
can
put
the
whole
console
and
could
do
it.
Stop
working
together
right
around
the
record
hanging,
your
blimps,
very
exciting,
good
job
and
I
hope
we
can
use
what
we've
learned
and
do
what
that
you've
been
talking
about
create
partnership,
private-public,
thank.
A
O
P
I
think
this
is
really
fun
too.
I
certainly
had
an
opportunity
to
walk
down
that
corridor,
and
there
were
also
murals
on
some
of
the
buildings
that
I
certainly
took
advantage
of
taking
some
pictures
and
and
just
kind
of
enjoying
the
vibe
so
that
buzz
worthy
I
think
that
was
one
of
the
words
you
guys
used.
P
I
think
that
whole,
how
do
we
interject
that
energy
and
so
I
really
appreciate
that,
because
when
we
were
at
the
BDA
trip
to
both
Santa
Monica
and
in
Dallas,
we
certainly
saw
that
and
really
that
idea
of
making
connections
together,
which
is
what
you
brought
up
when
you
first
talked
about
this,
so
as
I
think
about
it,
one
I
agree
about:
let's,
let's
figure
out
how
to
how
to
look
at
our
codes
for
these
kind
of
temporary
installations
so
that
they
are
much
quicker
to
be
able
to
pop
up
and
then
the
other
one
I'm
wondering
is
you
know,
ideas
from
kids,
because
I
think
there's
just
so
creative,
so
I
mean
I,
think
that
we
have
kids
in
our
in
our
downtown
now.
P
So
is
there
a
way
to
kind
of
harness
the
right
when
they
think
about
a
pedestrian
corridor?
What
might
they
want
to
see,
and
then
you
know,
is
there
an
opportunity
for
geocaching
or
some
kind
of
fun
games
along
the
path?
I,
don't
know
something
fun
like
that
or
and
then
the
idea
of
I,
like
the
the
imagining
the
possibility
of
having
a
consistent,
yellow,
lanterns
and
chairs
this
time,
but
I'm
wondering
as
you
think
in
the
future.
P
Maybe
it's
pop-ups
where
those
property
owners,
as
long
as
they
stay
within
the
theme
and
maybe
come
up
with
their
own
slightly
different
creative
thing.
I,
don't
know
if
that's
possible
and
yet
certainly
you've
laid
the
groundwork
for
what
this
looks
like
and
when
I
think
about
it.
You
know.
Is
there
a
path
that
makes
it
more
of
a
loop
instead
of
a
one-way,
you
know,
might
be
a
possibility,
and
perhaps
last
time
we
were
talking
about
how
to
create
more
safety
for
both
pedestrians,
bicycles
and
cars
right.
P
Maybe
that
pathway
could
have
some
some
little
signs
or
something
just
to
kind
of
send
that
subliminal
message
about
you
know
being
safe.
I,
don't
know
so
anyway.
I
just
think
this
is
really
fun
and
I
look
forward
to
seeing
what
you
guys
will
come
up
with
next
time
and
I'm
glad
to
hear
the
mayor
talk
about
the
fact
that
at
the
federal
level
we
may
be
able
to
move
something
along
because
in
March
council
member
Lee
and
I
actually
met
with
our
legislators
and
planted
the
seed
about
the
grand
connection.
Q
You
what
a
great
example
of
a
public-private
partnership
on
a
small
scale,
that
was
that
was
nice
to
see
what's
possible
and
now
you've
raised
the
bar
for
the
downtown
experience.
I,
don't
think,
there's
any
going
back,
yeah,
so
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
what's
next
and
how
we
can
expand
on
it.
How
would
the
more
have
were
the
property
owners
response
at
the
end
of
the
of
the
experience
I.
F
Think,
generally,
it
was
good
feedback.
I
mean
I.
Think
the
the
story
we
like
to
tell
is
the
beginning
from
the
beginning
of
I:
don't
know
what
I
don't
know
what
you're
trying
to
do
here
to
you
know.
What's
what
what
you
guys
gonna
do
next
summer
and
I
think
I
think
our
learning
was
to
build
on
on
that
momentum
and
to
see
what
to
your
point
councilmembers
on
the
sea,
what
the
property
owners
can
come
up
with
on
their
own,
so
the
thing
they
saw.
F
We
wanted
to
take
this
off
their
their
shoulders
and
just
prove
to
them
what
it
that
it
could
happen
that
we
can.
We
could
get
it
done
and
not
ask
much
of
them.
We
didn't
have
them
lift
a
finger.
Besides,
we
needed
a
letter
of
approval
from
each
property,
but
but
next
summer
I
think
I.
Think
that's
that's
an
opportunity.
You
know.
F
Q
A
I
will
just
echo
the
comments
of
the
public-private
partnership.
I
think
that
is
what
went
over
very
well
in
the
discussions,
and
you
know
take
these
forward
with
our
legislators
as
time
goes
on
that
concept
that,
as
we
were
doing
the
downtown
the
downtown
livability
plan
that
owners
of
property
wanted
the
grand
connection
to
cross
their
property.
It
wasn't
as
if
they
were
saying
we'll
go
over
there.
They
were
saying
how
do
we
integrate
it
within
a
part
of
our
property
and
so
to
be
able
to
see
that
a
property
owner
wants
this?
A
A
To
make
this
to
make
this
a
reality
and
I
think
that's
the
way
it
will
be
not
only
memorable
but
doable,
which
has
always
been
the
charge
on
this
thanks
very
much.
We
are
going
to
recess
for
an
hour.
We
will
come
back
into
our
main
session
tonight's,
a
really
important
night
when
you
get
to
swear
in
the
new
council
members,
I
shouldn't,
say
new.
We
get
to
swear
in
the
reelected
council
members
and
one
new
council
member,
because
I
guess
someone
just
can't
cut
it.
A
A
R
A
Thank
you
all
very
much.
The
the
first
order
of
business
is
the
is
congratulating
and
swearing
in
the
council
members
who
have
won
their
terms
of
election
for
2020
through
2023,
and
so
we
will
move
to
that.
I
know
mayor
Lisa
O'toole
is
our
mayor,
judge,
Lisa,
judge,
Lisa
I'm.
Actually,
that's
probably
a
demotion,
so
judge
Lisa
Howe
tool
is
here
to
do
the
swearing-in
of
our
council
members.
Are
we
going
to
do
the
all
four
at
once
we
going
to
do
them
individually?
A
A
Q
O
O
Together.
These
projects
include
the
completion
of
Taunton,
Park
Maidan,
ba
Bay,
Park
Surrey
dance
park
and
the
developing
gran
connection,
and
whereas
John
has
been
a
steadfast
advocate
for
individuals
in
need,
through
his
support
of
the
region's
human
services
providers
and
the
creation
of
a
permanent
and
year-round
shelter
in
Bellevue
and
whereas,
while
John
has
occupied
the
leadership
role
on
the
council
over
the
last
four
years,
Bellevue
has
experienced
skyrocketing
growth
and
vitality,
with
improvements
to
our
transportation
network
supported
now.
O
Therefore,
we,
the
deputy
mayor
and
city
council
members
of
Bellevue,
do
this
ninth
day
of
December
in
the
year,
2019
hereby
command
Jan,
L
shamanic
for
his
years
of
service
to
the
city
and
for
the
contributions
he
has
made
to
the
future
of
Bellevue.
His
leadership
and
dedication
to
public
service
offer
examples
for
others
to
emulate
and
highlight
the
difference
that
one
person
can
make
sign
by
all
the
councilmembers.
Thank
you.
O
O
Indeed,
you
know
we
were
very
moved
by
the
title.
The
attribution
to
him
last
hour
and
you
know
John
and
I
went
back
a
long
way.
We
knew
each
other,
we
both
active
in
politics
and
he
served
as
the
chief
staff
member
for
the
King
County
Republican
Party
and
stone
really
preferred
party
and
you
used
to
be
a
Republican.
So
when
I
was
elected
on
the
to
serve
the
churches,
w
bush's
SP,
a
regional
administrator
he's
the
first
person
came
to
my
mind.
O
I
wanted
to
hire
to
help
me
because
he's
articulate
he's
very
excellent
in
communication.
He
knows
politics,
he
knows
the
community
and
he's
somebody
that
really
is
indispensible.
If
you
want
to
get
something
done
and
so
and
for
unfortunately,
he
turned
me
down
and
as
approved
I
think
he
made
the
right
decision
and
he
now
doesn't
have
to
play
partisan
politics
and
he's
indeed
served
the
community.
Well,
the
local
community,
about
you
by
not
you
know,
being
stuck
in
a
very
narrow,
partisan
position.
O
A
K
Anyone
knows
me
knows
late
to
be
succinct,
but
in
this
case
I'm
not
going
to
be
I
might
even
go
longer
than
Conrad
this
evening.
But
you
know
people
enter
politics
for
many
different
reasons
and
some
to
fulfill
a
calling
to
duty.
Others
are
guided
by
a
personal
connection
to
an
outcome
of
an
issue.
Others
want
to
advance
a
political
ideology,
but,
as
you
heard
earlier
tonight
for
John
it
was
speedbumps.
K
But
make
no
mistake:
elective
office,
a
challenging
endeavor
requires
a
lot
of
intense
energy,
quiet
contemplation
as
well
as
a
lot
of
long
hours
of
reading,
bland
studies,
silver
data
to
formulate
opinions
on
a
wide
variety
of
subjects.
Politics,
politicians
and
elected
representatives
are
awesome
often
represented
by
animals,
as
a
lot
of
you
probably
are
aware,
as
an
elected
official
who
interacts
with
many
who
served
the
public
in
elected
office
and
career
government
service,
I
can
tell
you
that
many
of
our
representatives
do
acquire
these
animal
traits.
K
The
attributes
of
an
owl
with
its
ability
to
see
in
the
dark
and
zero
in
on
a
resource
as
an
essential
characteristic
in
a
life
of
politics.
Shedding
negative
comments
like
a
duck
sheds
water
is
vital.
Being
steadfast
and
purposeful,
like
a
tortoise,
is
often
required.
We
can
go
on
for
hours,
applying
these
animal
traits
to
the
and
create
the
ultimate
elected
representative
and
political
life.
K
There
are
times
when
you
meet
someone
who
has
mastered
the
best
traits
of
the
animal
world,
although
only
working
with
John
for
two
years,
such
as
the
case
with
Mayor
Tom,
enak
or
now
known
as
Mayor
John.
The
abundant
Almanac
John
is
the
traits
of
the
duck,
the
owl,
the
eagle,
the
bull,
the
tortoise
and,
yes,
the
bear.
He
can
soar
above
the
fray
like
an
eagle,
to
see
a
solution
and
see
a
complex
and
and
see
a
solution
to
a
complex
problem
like
the
doc
he
quickly
and
easily
lets
the
mundane
roll
off.
K
So
he
can
stay
focused
on
the
task
at
hand
like
the
tortoise,
steady
and
slow
and
the
Bulls
strong
and
powerful
John
plans
and
fights
for
his
beliefs.
Everyone
who
has
worked
with
John
knows
that,
although
his
presence
is
calm
and
mild-mannered,
he
has
two
strength,
stamina
and
tenacity
of
a
bear,
not
just
figuratively.
We
all
know
the
story
of
John
fighting
for
his
life
against
an
unprovoked
bear
attack,
while
at
his
cabin
back
in
2010
the
bear
like
many
political
foes
over
the
years,
underestimated.
K
John's
abilities
that
day,
although
John
was
torn
battered
and
bleeding,
it
was
the
bear
that
retreated
into
the
woods
throughout
his
professional
career,
John's,
worn
many
hats,
all
of
which
sharpened
his
understanding
of
how
to
navigate
the
maze
of
government
and
regulatory
policy
affairs.
As
a
fellow
council
members
been
a
pleasure
to
work
with
him
on
practically
every
issue.
K
In
my
mind,
he
truly
is
a
champion
of
human
services
and
a
champion
of
practical
solutions
for
the
City
of
Bellevue
strongly
believes
that
the
duty
of
governments
to
improve
the
lives
of
people
now
and
in
the
future.
He
understands
the
need
for
planning
and
is
always
ready
to
delve
into
the
data
and
the
details
of
a
report.
K
After
reaching
a
conclusion,
although
astute
and
study
John
possesses
a
natural
ability
to
engage
with
people
from
all
walks
of
life,
he
does,
if
he
doesn't
know
the
ins
and
out
of
a
particular
issue,
he's
always
ready
to
stead.
It
study
it
and
become
involved
securing
a
solution
over
the
last
15
years.
K
As
an
elected
council
member
deputy
mayor
and
Mayor
John
has
served
the
residents
of
Bell
B
with
a
wealth
of
experience,
along
with
his
private
sector
experience
in
communication
and
public
policy,
John
Chow
mcgrann
for
Bell
V,
City
Council
determined
to
make
it
different
for
today's
residents,
as
well
as
for
the
future
of
the
city.
As
its
colleague
I
can
tell
you,
John
accomplished
his
goal
of
being
a
caring
concerned
representative,
always
mindful
the
needs
of
the
present,
as
well
as
to
future
residents
of
Bellevue
John's
worked
with
allies
and
through
many
complex
issues.
K
Achieving
solutions
for
our
city
as
John
leaves
city,
government
I.
Believe
everyone
in
Bellevue,
like
myself,
will
miss
his
leadership,
his
friendship,
his
policy
skills
that
have
made
city
hall
a
better
organization
over
the
last
15
years.
Aside
from
the
time
that
he
has
personally
dedicated
to
issue
such
as
affordable
housing,
transportation,
future
plan
growth,
John
has
undertaken
over
two
dozen
council
assignments
and
pointment
start
his
time
as
an
elected
official.
K
Even
in
disagreement
that
view
heard
tonight,
John
has
always
been
fair,
Pleasant
willing
to
explain
and
compromise
to
reach
the
best
decision
for
the
residents
of
Bellevue.
It's
been
an
honor
to
serve
alongside
John
on
the
Bell
V
City
Council,
like
councilmembers
John
spent
many
extra
hours
on
nights
and
weekends
away
from
his
family.
Fighting
for
the
residents
of
Bellevue,
just
as
his
wife,
Lynn
and
daughters
will
now
enjoy
more
time
with
him.
K
We,
the
chambers
of
the
City
Council
and
the
chambers
of
the
City
Council,
will
spend
more
time
missing
his
calm,
studied
approach
and
executing
this
the
duties
of
the
City
Council
as
John
moves
on
to
New
Horizons.
We
wish
him
well
in
this
new
undertaking.
Not
only
will
I
miss
his
camaraderie,
the
guidance,
support
and
friendship,
I'll
also
miss
being
able
to
say
that
I
worked
with
a
man
who
wrestled
a
beer
with
his
own
with
his
bare
hands.
K
So
thanks
John
for
all
you
have
done
I
wish
you
Lynn
Megan
and
Morgan
much
love
peace
and
happiness
in
the
years
ahead.
I
only
have
one
word
of
advice,
because
we
all
know
how
competitive
you
are.
John,
how
much
you
like
sports,
but
currently
the
record
is
John
one
bear
zero.
Let's
keep
it
that
way.
Okay,.
S
Think
our
new
councilmember
elect
a
realized
that,
in
order
to
fill
John's
shoes,
he
needs
to
wrestle
a
bear.
So
if
he's
still
here,
he
has
his
task
over
the
hall
in
it.
So
you
know
John
I'm,
gonna
miss
you,
the
you
have
been
a
leader
in
Bellevue,
since
I
first
got
involved
in
the
city
when
I
joined
the
Planning
Commission,
you
were
on
the
Planning,
Commission
and
I
didn't
realize.
S
You
really
have
always
I've,
never
doubted
that
you
have
always
looked
for
the
best
solution
for
the
people,
maintain
that
trust
of
the
voters
and
always
try
to
do
the
right
thing,
even
when,
in
my
opinion,
your
vote
was
the
wrong
thing,
something
not
very
often
but
I'm.
Just
yeah
I
said
that
to
him
in
private
I
said:
I
won't
say
that
entices
you
should
it's
funny,
but
so
you're.
S
The
only
one
laughing
so
maybe
I
shouldn't
have
said
that,
but
so
you
know,
and
it's
and
yeah
we
don't
always
agree,
but
I
always
knew
that
you
were
working
on
what
was
the
best
for
the
city,
and
we
have
done
some
great.
What
you've
done.
Some
great
work
for
the
city
and
we've
done
some
great
work
together.
I
was
listening
to
all
the
speakers
and
seeing
how
packed
the
chamber
was
and
how
much
respect
the
community
has
for
you
and
it's
really
you've.
You've
planted
a
seed
that
has
grown
into
an
amazing.
S
Do
not
just
an
amazing
tree,
an
amazing
forest,
or
some
might
say
a
jungle,
and
you
know
that's
gonna,
continue
to
bear
fruit
for
years,
I
mean
the
work
that
you
have
done
on
this
behalf
of
the
people
of
this
city,
whether
its
parks,
land
use
the
budget.
You
know
making
sure
that
we
keep
the
trust
of
the
people,
making
sure
that
we
look
after
the
people.
I
was
on
the
council
when
we
raised
the
Human
Services
budget
and
you
really
fought
hard
for
that.
S
We
were
cutting
everything
I
think
that
was
probably
the
only
fun
that
we
didn't
cut.
We
expanded
it,
and
so
you
know
that's
it's
just
wonderful
on
the
heart
and
passion
and
knowledge
and
leadership
you
have
provided
to
this
city
and
a
lot
of
people
have
talked
about
John's
ability
to
be
a
communicator.
He
you
always
could
get
the
right
quote
in
the
paper,
because
you
just
have
a
way
with
words:
it's
like
man.
He
just
has
a
way
with
words
whether
it's
writing
it.
S
As
you
know,
one
of
the
primary
authors
of
the
vision
or
on
the
Dyess,
you
just
really
can
do
it
and
it's
you
can
say
things
better
than
most
of
us
can
say
them
and
it
captured
what
we
were
doing
in
such
a
great
way
so
yeah,
definitely
gonna.
I
also
want
to
tell
one
of
your
secrets
to
the
people
in
the
audience.
John
has
a
endorsement
every
campaign.
He
is
run
on
his
that
you
can
look
on
his
website
if
it's
not
on
his
still
up
Glen
meringue
II,
and
he
listed
it
I.
S
Remember
my
first
council
retreat
I
think
grant
tried
to
tell
me
that
the
new
person
had
to
bring
the
good
scotch
and
I
said:
grant.
I
am
not
growing
up
enough
to
drink
scotch,
but
I'll
bring
tequila,
but
there
was
a
lot
of
scotch
that
was
that
was
drunk
over
the
years
and
I'm
glad
that
you
enjoy
it.
Now.
You
have
more
time
for
that
and
you
can
now
drink
scotch
during
council
meeting
anyway.
We
will
miss
you
desperately
or
dearly
dearly.
S
S
Drink
scotch
I'm,
still
not
grown-up
enough
for
scotch,
but
anyway
it's
it's
just
been
a
pleasure
and
an
honor
to
serve
with
you.
Thank.
A
You
very
much
Jennifer
but
I
appreciate
that
Jen
do
ya.
P
John
I
want
to
say
something
because
my
I've
been
on
council
two
years,
which
means
that
my
entire
time,
other
than
two
meetings
in
2017,
was
with
you
as
the
mayor
and
I've,
really
appreciated
your
leadership
and
really
the
steady
hand
at
the
helm,
because
we've
taken
on
some
really
tough
issues.
The
last
two
years
and
I
think
that
you
know
politics
is
very
local
and
it's
very
complicated.
P
So
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
you
continue
to
resonate
and
lead
with
seven
strong,
because,
frankly,
it's
much
easier
to
be
a
single
person
just
plowing
through
the
middle,
so
bringing
seven
along,
takes
a
lot
of
work,
and
so,
when
I
thought
about
what
I
wanted
to
say,
I
actually
asked
Google
what
the
definition
of
leadership
is
and
right
at
the
very
top.
It
popped
out.
That
leadership
is
the
art
of
motivating
a
group
of
people
to
act
towards
achieving
a
common
goal.
P
You
know
you
also
bring
this
corporate
knowledge,
which
I
really
appreciate,
and
so,
when
I
think
about,
you
I
think
that
perhaps
you're
an
owl,
but
maybe
a
more
aptly
Yoda,
so
that
the
voice
of
wisdom,
I,
think
does
take
years
to
cultivate,
and
so
I
appreciate
that
and
I
think.
The
part
that
maybe
we
don't
talk
enough
about
is
that
maybe
people
here
see
your
work
in
Bellevue.
P
The
part
they
may
not
see
is
the
fact
that
you've
been
very
active
regionally
at
the
state
level,
and
then
you
did
talk
at
our
study
session
about
at
the
federal
level,
doing
advocacy,
that's
the
work
that
a
lot
of
people
don't
necessarily
see,
and
yet
it
makes
sure
that
not
only
with
our
own
funds,
but
we
create
that
partnership.
So
we
can
get
more
done
together,
so
I'll
miss
you
as
well.
P
Q
Q
Q
Oh
so
I
learned
a
few
things
that
the
mayor's
meetings
so
holding
your
head
mean
that
it's
a
terrible
idea
but
I
found
that
by
the
end
of
the
day
you
thought
about
it
and
we
came
out
with
a
really
good
compromise
and
then
I
found
that
raising
your
eyebrows
meant
that
you
had
embedded
something
very
funny
into
what
you
had
just
said
and
if
I
thought
about
it
long
enough
I
figured
it
out
and
yes,
it
was
actually
very
funny.
I
really
love
your
sense
of
humor.
Q
So
thank
you
for
that
you're,
an
outstanding
leader
because
you're,
trustworthy
and
you're.
True
to
your
word,
if
you
say
you're
gonna
support
something:
you're
unwavering
you've
been
strong
and
reliable
on
the
council
and
in
the
community,
I
heard
that
as
timer
the
triangle
pool
your
daughter,
Megan's
swim
meet,
so
you
were
always
on
time
and
everybody
could
count
on
you.
So
I
know
it
was
imperative
that
we
get
that
men's
shelter
done
that
you
work
very
hard
on
that,
and
your
leadership
was
just
amazing
and
I
know
that
come
ribbon-cutting
time.
Q
N
Yeah
I
want
to
go
last,
I
I
knew
everybody
would
say
all
these
wonderful
things
and
I'm,
not
gonna,
repeat
those.
What
I
want
to
just
say
is
it's
been
a
real
pleasure
working
with
you
and
we
first
really
started
working
together,
2011
and
there
was
a
vacancy
at
that
time
and
I
got
a
call,
and
we
talked
about
some
things
and
then
during
the
campaign.
N
We
had
had
some
very
good
conversations
and
I
always
appreciate
those
and
sometimes
she'd,
be
mad
at
me
and
you'd
call
me
up
and
we'd
talk
or
I'd
be
mad
at
you
and
we'd
talk
and
we
would
figure
out
how
we're
gonna
reconcile
that
and
move
forward
and
I.
Think
that's
that's
something.
I
will
remember,
I
mean
these
all
these
other
things
and
I.
Could
you
know
echo
and
validate
those,
but
I?
N
Think
it's
been
the
your
your
willingness
to
talk
to
someone
when
you
maybe
disagreed,
or
we
were
looking
at
things
a
different
way
and
really
I
think
we
I
think.
Actually,
we
work
together
well,
which
is
good
to
have
helped
each
other
figure
out
and
then
working
with
you
as
deputy
was
a
was
a
joy
and
I
was
very
pleased
to
have
you
for
you
to
have
the
opportunity
and
which
you
capitalize
on
greatly
and
and
move
things
forward,
and
I
really
appreciate
that
and
look
forward
to
a
long
time.
G
Q
B
You
thank
you,
deputy
mayor
and
hey
Mary
almanaque,
just
on
behalf
of
the
leadership
team
in
myself.
I'm
gonna
take
a
moment
to
thank
you
for
your
solid
leadership
over
those
past
16
years,
and
particularly
among
many
other
things,
for
your
solid
support
of
staff.
We
all
felt
it
and
appreciated
it.
Your
keen
intellect,
as
councilmember
Roberts
said,
your
excellent
communication
skills
and
your
ability
to
craft,
meaningful
policy
and,
lastly,
your
wicked
sense
of
humor.
B
A
Okay,
well,
just
very
quickly,
I
think
the
history
of
the
city
has
been
when
the
council's
working
together
and
work
toward
a
common
goal.
Even
if
we
have
differing
opinions
on
how
to
reach
that
we
work
the
best
and
that's
really
been
the
story
of
the
Bellevue
City
Council
I
believe
very
much
in
this
institution
for
the
leadership
that
it
provides
in
the
city
and
to
the
leadership
that
all
of
us
provide
in
the
region.
I've
served
with
15
City,
Council
members.
A
All
of
them
have
brought
unique
attributes
to
the
job
and
all
of
them
have
made
the
city
a
better
place
and
I
really
thank
all
of
you
for
the
last
two
years.
This
has
really
been
a
lot
of
fun
to
work
with
the
six
of
you
to
continue
to
make
this
a
better
place
and
we've
dealt
with
some
thorny
issues.
A
We've
dealt
with
a
lot
of
really
important
issues,
things
that
we
celebrate,
but
the
best
thing
is,
in
my
mind,
is
when
you
get
to
the
end
of
it
and
seven
people
say
this
is
what
I
wanted
to
do,
and
everybody
has
ownership
in
moving
forward
and
moving
forward
with
it,
and
when
we
do
that,
when
all
of
us
have
that
ownership,
that's
when
we're
at
our
strongest.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Gosh
I
did
not
think
this
would
go
on
this
long.
A
Q
A
Moved
and
seconded
to
approve
the
agenda.
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
opposed.
The
motion
carries,
we
are
going
to
move
to
communication
written
and
oral.
We
have
a
number
of
people
who
have
signed
up
to
speak.
Sometimes
it's
we've
got
a
number
of
people,
I
know
of
signed
up
on
the
10th
encampment
ordinance
and
that
doesn't
really
work
well
to
say
you
opposed
or
you're
in
favor,
because
we're
still
kind
of
working
through
some
of
them
on
that
and
I
did
recognize
and
I'm
finding
my
notes,
I
know,
you've
got
the.
A
What
I'd
like
to
do
is
take
three
people
on
that
on
kind
of
the
sides
of
that
issue.
If
you
will
or
the
nuances
of
that
issue
and
then
I
know,
we
have
a
number
of
people
who
have
signed
up
to
speak
on
a
I
believe
it's
a
PUD
application
and
we
can
only
take
three
people
on
that
as
well.
So
I
know
Deacon
Deacon
Sam
is
the
first
signed
up
and
then
I
think
there
is
a
bill
Hallinan
who
I
believe
I
am
pretty
certain
I
know
which
way
that
they're
going
to
speak.
A
I
know
Karen
Morris
and
Nancy.
Gilchrist
have
signed
up
a
little
bit
later,
so
I
think
I
know
where
at
least
four
of
the
people
are
on
that
that
spectrum
of
testimony.
So
if
we
would
start
with
trying
to
lump
those
together
in
the
order
that
they
they
are
there,
I
would
appreciate
it
if
you
can
call
the
roll
or
call
the
those
to
speak.
So.
T
Well,
good
evening,
I'll
try
to
keep
under
my
three
minutes
if
at
all
possible,
there's
a
lot
of
different
viewpoints
on
what
we
need
to
do
on
tent
encampments.
But
I
really
wanted
to
just
call
your
attention
to
a
list
that
I
brought
with
me.
These
are
a
hundred
and
sixty-nine
individuals
who
were
honored
at
a
mass
at
st.
James
Cathedral
just
one
month
ago,
and
they
represent
the
hundred
and
69
homeless,
people
that
died
in
Seattle
on
the
streets
of
Seattle
or
in
shelters.
T
We're
talking
about
very
real
people's
lives,
it's
heartbreaking
and
there
is
no
good
solution
other
than
it
is
the
communities
of
faith.
That
is
often
the
doorway
that
allows
people
to
move
from
completely
being
disconnected
to
the
society
to
somehow
reincorporating.
They
are
often
extremely
vulnerable.
People
who've
experienced
some
very
difficult
times.
Many
things
in
their
life
are
self-imposed,
but
it
is
so
often
those
communities
of
faith
that
help
them
to
move
to
another
place.
T
10
encampments
are
a
very,
very
small
percentage,
especially
here
in
Bellevue,
even
though
we
have
several
hundred
even
in
our
schools
experiencing
homelessness,
they're
dealt
with
very
well.
A
lot
of
the
water
is
carried
by
our
faith,
communities
and
additional
restrictions,
or
even
the
instructions
that
we
have
or
too
many.
We
need
to
be
hopeful
and
that's
the
place
that
it
comes.
This
is
the
place
that
shows
the
dignity
of
a
human
person.
Is
these
faith
communities
and
we
need
to
trust
them
and
the
work
that
they've
done?
T
U
Thanks
good
evening,
my
name
is
Bill
Holloman
I'm,
the
agency
director
for
Catholic
community
services
of
King
County,
wanted
to
speak
tonight
because
I
have
such
respect
for
the
faith,
communities
and
their
importance
in
our
fight
against
homelessness.
Ccss.
Past
year,
we
provided
emergency
shelter
in
39,
different
churches
in
King
County,
and
that
includes
the
rotating
shelter
for
families
that
we
have
on
the
east
side
or
five
different
congregations
in
Bellevue
alone.
U
Sponsor
the
shelter
CCS
also
runs
the
regional
access
point
here
in
Bellevue,
which
is
provides
housing
resources
for
folks,
including
folks
that
are
currently
at
the
tent
cities.
I'm
here
tonight,
really
to
urge
you
to
enact
the
least
restrictive
ordinance
possible
on
tent
encampments
on
religious
land.
U
What
does
that
mean
three
concrete
things
that
means
to
lengthen
the
duration
of
an
encampment
from
90
days
to
122
days,
to
eliminate
the
hundred
and
eighty
day
citywide
ban
on
the
ability
to
host
and
to
narrow
to
12
months
from
the
18
months,
the
gap
between
hosting
for
the
same
congregation?
Why
do
I
say
that?
Here's
why
the
faith
communities
are
not
in
this
in
this
city?
Are
your
deepest
strongest
most
consistent
partners
in
this
work
and
they're
the
genesis
of
many
of
the
best
work
that
we
do
together?
U
Let
me
give
you
an
example:
I
just
came
from
a
construction
site
at
Salt
House
Church,
which
is
in
Kirkland,
we're
together.
The
Eastside
community
is
building
a
brand
new
two-story
24/7
shelter
and
a
Center
for
both
homeless
families
and
homeless,
single
women.
That's
something
that
the
Eastside
is
very
proud
of.
That
King
County
is
participating
in
the
state
of
Washington
many
nonprofits
in
a
faith
community,
but
what
you
may
not
know
about
that
is
that
the
families
part
of
that
project
right.
U
Well,
that
moment
started
a
process
in
the
faith
community
that
led
us
all
the
way
to
now
when
we're
all
partnering
together
to
do
something
about
that,
and
that
happened,
because
those
churches
and
those
church
folks
refused
to
stop
until
it
was
done,
and
they
didn't
just
pray
for
it
to
happen.
They
raised
two
and
a
half
million
dollars
in
private
dollars.
They
testified
at
City
Council's,
all
across
the
Eastside.
They
dropped
off
donations.
U
They
volunteer
they're
the
most
deeply
committed
folks
that
I
know,
and
some
of
them
want
to
respond
to
this
moral
crisis
that
we're
in
by
hosting
tent
encampments.
So
the
legislation
that
you
folks
have
been
looking
at
has
safeguards
right.
That
I
think
are
really
reasonable
to
balance
safety
in
the
community
church.
U
So
until
we
get
all
the
way
there,
I
just
want
to
close
by
saying,
but
don't
pick
a
constitutional
fight
with
churches
that
are
your
best
partners,
don't
try
to
limit
their
commitment
because
instead
embrace
their
help,
their
energy,
their
passion
and
together,
let's
get
back
to
work.
Thank
you
so
much
thank.
V
Karen
Morris
address
on
file
in
four
pages
of
where
Aza's
that
lead
this
draft
ordinance.
There
are
numerous
statements
and
assumptions
that
neighbors
don't
endorse.
Most
surprising
is
the
statement
that
enhanced
public
outreach
ensured
that
all
individuals
had
ample
opportunities
to
discuss
their
concerns.
One
meeting
10
months
ago
and
a
few
three-minute
snippets
at
council
meetings
are
not
ample
plus
to
discuss,
implies
interaction,
not
separate
monologue
staff
did
not
hold
interactive
discussions
among
stakeholders,
but
assumes
those
will
happen
successfully
after
leverage
is
gone.
V
This
is
logically
and
historically
unlikely
my
request
for
neighbors
to
meet
with
council
members
only
resulted
in
one
meeting
from
the
beginning
process
focused
on
a
narrow
perspective
based
on
requests
from
consent.
Decree
signatories,
broader,
more
collaborative
and
transparent
process
would
yield
results
more
likely
to
solve
problems,
and
there
are
problems.
V
Our
experience
based
suggestions
provided
repeatedly
for
years
didn't
appear
in
the
discussion
or
the
draft.
This
the
result
is
a
lack
of
balance.
Now
we
must
hope
what
happens
tonight
will
strike
a
better
balance.
The
Washington
Supreme
Court
said
these
stays
likely
affect
nearby
neighbors.
Far
more
than
parishioners
and
cities
may
mediate
these
externalities.
At
the
last
meeting,
some
of
you
brought
up
the
issue
of
proximity
in
relation
to
gaps
between
stays.
Mr.
Brennan
stated
that
there
could
be
back
to
back
stays
across
the
street
in
Bellevue.
The
burden
falls
mostly
on
TB
T's
neighbors.
V
So,
as
you
discuss
gaps,
please
tie
them
to
proximity.
For

The
18-month
gap
is
not
just
to
the
same
site
but
to
sites
within
a
half-mile
radius.
V
We
would
suggest
that,
or
certainly
at
least
that
sites
across
the
street
or
a
blocker
few
away
like
the
first
two
to
four
sites
above
are
burdening
the
same
neighbors
and
businesses.
The
Washington
Supreme
Court
also
stated
that
when
deciding,
if
a
regulation
is
a
substantial
burden,
courts
should
look
at
alternatives.
The
regulations
leave
open,
Bellevue
leaves
opened
the
possibility
for
churches
to
host
inside
with
no
permit
and
little
regulation,
so
they
are
not
prevented
from
religious
expression
of
helping
the
homeless
just
participating
in
a
more
balanced
solution.
V
I
emailed
yesterday
about
some
inconsistent
draft
language
on
the
18-month
gap
and
the
modifications
allowed
in
the
extended
permit
process,
I
hope
those
will
be
corrected
before
you
vote.
I
also
hope
some
lessons
will
be
learned
from
the
issues
with
this
process
that
will
improve
things
in
the
future.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank
you.
W
I
have
Peter
Davidson
I
live
in
Emmet
I,
I'm
a
35
year
resident
of
bellevue
I
grew
up
here.
I'm
a
native.
My
parents
have
been
here
since
1972
I
moved
back
to
Bellevue
in
2013,
buying
a
home
and
during
that
time,
I've
seen
a
dramatic
increase
in
my
property
taxes.
Meanwhile,
I'm
grateful
that
the
value
of
my
property
has
gone
up,
but
those
increases
have
actually
driven
people
out
of
their
homes.
W
With
that
I've
also
seen
developers
tearing
down
what
would
be
considered,
semi,
affordable
housing,
while
Bellevue
housing
is
not
truly
affordable,
I
mean
a
million
dollar
house
gets
torn
down.
Next
to
me,
these
developers
are
seeing
massive
increases
in
property
value
when
they
tear
it
down
and
build
a
4,000
square
foot
house.
W
At
the
same
time,
I've
also
seen
an
increase
in
mental
health
issues
in
downtown
Bellevue
people,
throwing
luggage
into
the
middle
of
Bellevue
way,
I'm
having
to
call
police
officers
to
have
them
come
and
I
deal
with
that,
and
but
the
reason
I
moved
back
to
Bellevue
when
I
moved
back
in
2013
was
I,
have
an
eight-year-old
daughter
and
one
day,
while
my
daughter
was
in
Seattle,
she
tried
to
offer
a
homeless
person
some
food
that
we
had
leftovers
from
a
restaurant
and
that
homeless
person
yelled
at
her.
So
I'm,
very
passionate
about
this
I.
W
Very
my
daughter
is
the
most
compassionate
person.
I've
ever
met
my
life,
but
I
have
huge
concerns
around
this.
Some
of
the
churches
in
Bellevue
actually
house
a
public
school
bus,
pickup,
there's
kindergarten
programs
at
places
like
pilgrim,
Lutheran
down
on
Bellevue
Way
and
if
we
put
homeless
encampments
on
those
properties,
you're
risking
the
safety
of
our
children,
you're
risking
the
safety
of
the
children
that
are
attending
kindergardens
there.
In
addition
to
all
of
the
unreported
issues
of
drug
use,
the
underreported
crime.
W
If
you
talk
about
things
like
RVs
in
Seattle,
they're
dumping
or
reef,
sewage
and
Blackwater
into
the
sewer
systems,
which
is
not
treated
massive
health
issues
there,
so
the
real
concern
around
this,
for
me,
is
if
you're
gonna,
open
up
tents,
I
challenge
the
churches
to
actually
open
their
doors,
not
the
church
itself,
or
not
that
the
parking
lots
themselves
open
their
doors,
allow
them
to
stand.
If
they
want
to
get
behind
this
and
express
their
religious
freedom,
they
should
open
their
doors.
It's
the
reality
of
they
want
to
do
that.
W
But
if
it's
going
to
impact
my
property
value
or
the
safety
of
my
children
or
the
safety
of
any
of
the
children
that
attend
public
schools
in
the
city
and
grew
up
in
the
city,
it's
a
real
world
impact.
So
you
know
again:
I
challenged
the
City
Council
as
well
to
draft
a
real-world
solutions,
not
sitting
here
and
saying,
let's
put
a
tent
in
a
parking
lot.
The
churches
can
talk
about
dignity.
They
can
talk
about
providing
dignity
for
these
people.
Dignity
is
not
living
in
a
tent.
W
It's
not
living
in
a
tent
in
the
middle
of
a
parking
lot.
We
pay
massive
amounts
of
taxes
to
live
in
the
city,
they've
increased
developers
or
reaping
massive
profits.
But
meanwhile
my
parents
had
to
sell
their
house
because
they
couldn't
afford
the
taxes
anymore.
They
now
live
in
a
relatively
nice
community
and
in
bellevue,
but
but
the
fact
is
they've
been
here
since
1972.
So
let's
take
some
real-world
approach
at
this
and
I
appreciate
the
time.
So
thank
you.
X
And
there
is.
This
is
a
citywide
ordinance.
But
the
reality
is,
as
others
have
mentioned,
that
Temple
B'nai
Torah
has
been
the
most
frequent
host
by
far
of
any
of
the
other
churches.
And
so
there
has
been
a
disproportionate
impact
that
we've
seen
over
14
years
in
our
community.
And
while
there
has
been
work
that
has
been
done
to
try
to
figure
out
the
best
way
to
I
thought
it
was
interesting.
Someone
talked
about
restrictions
versus
regulation.
Regulation
is
what
what
a
city
does
to
ensures
the
safety
and
the
success
of
programs.
X
We
can't
have
programs
be
successful
of
any
kind
without
thoughtful,
balanced
regulation,
and
so
looking
at
the
latest
round
that
you're
going
through
to
try
to
pass
this,
please
consider
some
of
the
the
concerns
and
the
issues
that
have
been
brought
up
by
the
neighbors
based
off
of
experience
of
having
had
these.
The
tent
cities
come
and
be
in
the
neighborhood.
We
feel
that
we've
tried
to
again
also
strike
a
balance
and
try
to
work
with
and
to
find
what
the
best
solutions
are
going
to
be.
X
We're
pleased
that
templating
tora
is
hosting
Sofia's
weight
and
think
that
that's
a
great
step
for
them
to
be
moving
forward
with,
but
we'd
like
to
encourage
you
to
consider
length,
stay
the
the
separation
between
the
amount
of
time,
the
months
between
the
stays
and
then
also
looking
at
that
proximity,
because
you
do
have
a
neighborhood
that
is
very
densely
populated
with
religious
organizations
and
has
been
disproportionately
affected.
Thank
you
great.
A
G
A
A
A
G
Z
Thank
you
for
so
much
for
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
speak
tonight.
I
am
the
senior
rabbi
of
Temple
B'nai,
Torah
and
I
have
been
there
since
July
the
Torah.
Our
holy
book,
says
in
Deuteronomy
that
the
poor
shall
always
be
among
you
and
you
are
required
to
see
to
their
needs
according
to
how
they
are
stated
back
in
2004
Temple
B'nai
Torah
was
approached
by
tent
city
to
host
them
to
allow
them
a
space
to
just
merely
be
our
rabbi
at
the
time
Jim
Morel
said.
Yes,
our
board
unanimously
agreed
to
host
them.
Z
Z
We
know
that
those
experiencing
homelessness
have
a
profound,
are
profoundly
impacted
by
stability
by
making
them
move
from
site
to
site
from
city
to
city
on
a
regular
basis,
makes
it
more
difficult
for
them
to
receive
the
services
that
they
need.
The
ordinance
as
as
it
currently
stands
does
not
allow
for
hosting
for
enough
days
or
four
back-to-back
Hosting's
of
different
sites
in
the
city.
Z
We
have
a
lot
of
different
organizations
in
the
city
of
L
view
that
would
like
to
be
able
to
fill
their
fulfill
their
religious
obligations
towards
the
poor,
just
as
Temple
B'nai
Torah.
Does
we
Jews
don't
believe
that
this
is
just
something
nice
that
we
should
do?
We
don't
believe
that
it's
just
you're
merely
generosity.
We
are
commanded
to
do
it
and
we
ask
that
you
allow
us
to
continue
to
do
it.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
E
A
A
AA
This
is
kind
of
a
violation
of
the
public
notice.
Just
this
evening,
I've
received
five
emails
from
people
contacting
me
with
this
email
saying
it
is
invalid,
so
this
needs
to
be
addressed
by
the
board
over
the
last
since
August
I.
Don't
know
how
many
hundreds,
if
not
thousands
of
people,
may
have
been
writing
to
the
city
planner
to
voice
their
opposition
to
this
and
have
not
had
the
opportunity.
AA
There
are
a
number
of
reasons
for
the
opposition
and
I'll
try
to
go
through
them
quickly.
The
first
and
foremost,
if
you're
familiar
with
this
area,
cougar
mountain
Cougar,
Mountain,
State,
Park,
it's
been
mine
for
a
hundred
years.
The
land
there
is
very
unstable.
It
has
gas
noxious
gases
that
leak
out.
AA
In
fact,
right
now,
there's
a
trail
closed
because
it's
unstable
and
yet
now
there's
a
proposal
to
put
a
housing
project
right
next
to
it
and
develop
that
right
now
we
have
a
Greenbelt
there,
that's
contiguous
with
the
State
Park,
which
is
going
to
be
destroyed
for
some
rich
people's
estates
to
go
up.
Second,
that
is
a
very
dangerous
road
by
your
own
City
studies
for
traffic,
like
that,
when
a
you
know
that
that's
a
Speedway,
it
is
a
winding
dangerous
road
that
has
a
number
of
accidents
on
there.
AA
Are
you
aware,
by
the
way,
if
any
of
you
live
near
there
of
the
two-mile
backups
from
Newcastle
all
the
way
to
Cougar
Mountain
during
rush
hour
and
now
we're
considering
putting
a
housing
complex
in
what
a
land
that
should
be
really
made
to
be
a
park?
The
road
is
highly
congested,
it
is
winding
and
it's
unstable.
Your
own
records
will
show
you
that
that
road
in
that
area
there
is
repaired
very
frequently
because
of
shifting
and
sinking
land
and
again
you're,
considering
putting
a
huge
housing
project
in
there.
AA
So
I'd
like
to
quote
in
a
very
few
minutes
that
I
have
left
from
King
County,
who
says
Cougar
Mountain
Park
preserves
the
importance
of
the
wildlife
habitat.
It
is
a
great
big,
green
and
quiet
place.
Furthermore,
the
welcome
notice
says
this
area
is
intended
to
preserve
and
allow
nature
to
recreate
a
wilderness
ecosystem.
Here
in
the
midst
of
urban
Puget
Sound,
we
know
that
deer,
Bobcat,
porcupine
and
black
bear
living
here
now.
It
is
our
intent
that
by
making
the
park
large
and
keeping
it
wild
here,
animals
will
always
be
able
to
live
okay.
AA
E
AB
L
AB
AB
AB
AB
It
is
not
no,
it
is
not
just
the
plants
that
are
important
for
a
park
or
a
natural
area
such
as
the
Coal
Creek,
Natural
Area.
It's
also
the
animals,
the
it's
a
it's
an
ecosystem,
it's
an
environment,
it's
what
makes
a
park
a
natural
park
and
I
don't
want
to
see
that
loss.
The
Park
Point
development
would
be
highly
destructive
to
that.
AB
I
Good
evening
I'm
David
Kaplan
I'm
vice
president
of
the
is
grouts
Trails,
Club
and
I
wanted
to
invite
you
to
an
event.
The
Sun
greenways
gonna
be
having
this
summer.
The
40th
anniversary
of
the
trails
Club
is
this
year,
and
next
year
will
be
the
30th
anniversary
of
the
first
mountain,
sound
Greenway
Trek
on
next
summer.
I
The
county
regional
wildland
park
will
get
to
read
town
on
that
hike
and
we
will
cross
the
street
and
then
be
in
the
county
in
the
city.
Now
coal
creek
part,
which
has
been
taken
over
was
the
county
park
originally
actually
forward
thrust
going
back
to
Johnny,
Jim
Ellis,
but
it's
been
added
to
by
Bellevue
and
the
county.
I
That's
a
great
part
and
walked
from
through
the
park
all
the
way
down
to
New
Castle
Beach
a
little
spin
that
that
night
we
will
be
passing
roads
going
through
the
red
town
trailhead
across
the
street
will
be
the
former
Swanson
property
and
it
would
sure,
be
a
great
addition
to
the
park
system
if
bellevue
could
acquire
that
property
and
really
complete
that
long
link
between
Issaquah
and
Lake
Washington.
Thank
you
thank.

A
AC
Hello,
distinguished
mayor
and
city
council,
my
name
is
eva
Orlowski,
Ahmadi
I'm,
a
bellevue
bridle
trails
resident
already
30
years
and
currently
I'm
serving
on
the
board
of
bridle
trails.
Community
Club,
you
are
familiar
with
its
an
advocate
neighborhood
organization,
whose
mission
is
to
preserve
the
green
character
and
sustainability
of
bridle
trails
area,
otherwise
known
as
tree
area.
I
have
recently
graduated
from
Bellevue
essentials
leadership,
training
and
have
already
engaged
with
several
citywide
groups,
whose
mission
is
to
protect
our
environment
and
to
work
with
you,
City
Council,
on
the
environmental
stewardship
plan.
AC
Today,
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
pack
peoples
for
climate
action,
I
would
like
to
first
to
thank
you
and
congratulate
you
on
planting
last
month,
300
secure
trees
in
order
to
boost
our
city
tree
canopy
from
37
to
40
percent.
We
applaud
any
kind
of
reforestation
attempt
as
an
effective
step
to
fight
climate
change
and
to
remove
carbon
from
our
atmosphere,
and
we
are
thrilled
to
hear
that
you
are
planning
or
city
of
Bellevue's
planning
to
plant
700,
more
sequoia
trees
and
5,000
native
conifers.
This
fall,
so
thank
you.
AC
I
wanted
to
also
thank
you
for
hearing
and
engaging
right
here
in
this
chamber
on
November
12,
with
an
amazing
group
of
young
people
who
delivered
a
moving
fest
testimony
about
the
desire
for
city
of
Bellevue
to
be
on
the
leading
edge
of
fighting
climate
change,
and
we
have
received
a
very
positive
feedback
about
your
engagement
with
them.
So
thank
you
and
lastly,
I
wanted
to
thank
you
for
working
on
revising
the
environmental
stewardship
plan.
AC
We
want
to
thank
you
for
looking
at
the
reviewing
the
environmental
plan
and
also
for
asking
the
city
staff
on
November
12
for
revising
it
and
for
strengthening
the
climate
target
goals
and
then
coming
back
with
a
revising
proposal.
So
this
is
a
significant.
This
is
very
significant
and
urgent
and
we
look
forward
to
working
with
you
to
encourage
and
support
strong
steps
to
reverse
and
mitigate
climate
change
and
with
city
of
Belle
I'm.
A
A
Very
much
so
we
do
not
have
anyone
else
who
is
signed
up
to
speak
okay,
so
we're
going
to
now
move
to
the
reports
of
Community,
Council
boards
and
Commission,
and
on
this
we
have
the
Arts
Commission
funding
recommendations
which
I
do
believe.
We
need
to
take
action
on.
So
if
we
are
ready
for
for
that,
hi.
AD
Good
evening
Council,
my
name
is
Paul
Mann,
pretty
I'm
the
chair
of
the
Arts,
Commission
and
I'm
delighted
to
be
here
this
evening.
I
will
I
will
begin
by
observing
that
I
didn't
realize
it
was
such
a
momentous
occasion
and
that
we
were
maybe
Nadal
and
that
actually
has
presented
kind
of
a
daunting
situation.
AD
AD
So
specifically,
we
will
be
looking
for
a
motion
from
Council
to
approve
the
grant
allocations
that
have
been
devised,
I
suppose
by
our
allocations
committee,
which
is
a
subcommittee
of
of
course,
the
Arts
Commission
so
I'm
here
to
present
those
briefly
Oh
terrific.
We
have
us
and
then
you
look
at
above
us
yeah,
so
the
direction
from
Council
will
be
motion
to
approve
the
Arts
Commission
recommendations
for
the
2020
East
Side
Partnership,
special
projects
and
power
up
Bellevue
allocations.
AD
I
gather
that
all
of
you
have
a
packet,
so
I'm
not
going
to
get
very
far
into
the
details.
I,
don't
think
that's
necessary.
I.
Think
most
of
you
are
familiar
with
this.
I
will
then
just
go
briefly
through
a
description
of
the
grant
allocations,
a
few
words
about
what
has
transpired
in
2019
and
then
a
few
words
about
what
we're
hoping
to
fund
in
2020.
So
that's
the
plan
for
my
presentation.
I
have
more
than
three
minutes.
Is
that
right?
Yes,
slightly?
Perhaps?
AD
Okay,
so
to
begin
with
the
grants,
allocation
or
the
grants
are
kind
of
a
in
a
tripartite
structure.
We
have
three
different
grant
forms,
one
of
them,
as
I
just
mentioned
the
EAP.
These
sided
arts
partnerships,
the
other
powerup
Belleview
and
finally,
the
special
projects
so
far
in
a
way,
the
east
side
partnerships
are
the
bulk
of
the
funding
allotment
that
we
we
have
devised
at
roughly
120,000
dollars
following
that
is
the
power
of
Bellevue.
AD
That's
actually
the
newest
category
of
grants
that
we
have
developed,
and
that
is
for
the
purpose
of
increasing
the
capacity
of
individual
grant
organizations
and
allowing
them
to
grow
to
be
stronger,
bigger
and
more
effective
and
then,
finally,
the
special
projects,
which
is
the
smallest
in
terms
of
dollar,
amount
at
roughly
twelve
thousand,
but
it
is
in
many
ways
the
most
important.
That's
my
own
personal
view.
AD
Frankly,
and
that's
because
it
is
the
most
dynamic
it
brings
new
people
into
the
program
and
it
is
the
most
effective
I
think
in
reaching
new
constituents
in
the
community.
So
it's
extremely
important
element
of
the
grants
private
process,
it's
worth,
noting,
perhaps
that
each
of
these
different
categories
has
its
own
set
of
criteria.
There's
a
certain
amount
of
overlap,
but
they
are,
they
are
somewhat
different,
so
the
detailed
elements
of
that
cup.
AD
Innovation
is
really
the
key
element
of
that,
but
also
public
ask
access
similar
to
the
East
I'd
partnerships
and
then
a
very
important
element,
but
often
most
difficult,
the
feasibility
of
the
project
itself.
So
in
many
cases
we
have
wonderfully
innovative
and
interesting
ideas
that
are
just
not
feasible.
So
that's
something
that
the
allocation
committee's
will
be
we'll
be
looking
at.
So
those
are
the
elements
or
the
criteria
for
which
these
grants
are
evaluated
and
then
actually,
quite
specifically
ranked
in
2019.
AD
There
were,
as
you
will
see,
31
grants
in
the
Eastside
partnerships.
Oh
I
didn't
mention
these
side.
Partnerships
are
further
divided
into
what
are
called
the
community
partnerships
and
the
pro
partnerships,
and
the
difference
between
those
two
is
that
the
pro
partnerships
have
paid
staff
that
work
for
them
and
the
community
partners
have
principally
or
entirely
volunteer
staff.
The
maximum
allotment
for
the
pro
partnerships
is
ten
thousand
and
the
maximum
allowed
ment
allotment
for
the
community
partners
is
five
thousand.
AD
So
once
again,
there
were
31
grants,
total
split
roughly
in
half
for
the
power
at
Bellevue.
There
were
three
grants.
All
of
those
are
five
thousand
and
then
for
the
special
projects
in
2019
we
had
seven
grants,
one
individual
and
six
nonprofit
organizations.
Briefly,
then
just
a
couple
of
selections
from
the
2019
grantees,
the
first
one
being
the
Bellevue
youth
symphony
orchestra.
I
could
go
on
for
probably
an
hour
about
this
particular
operation
because,
first
of
all,
Trudi
Jackson,
who
was
the
director,
was
on
the
Arts
Commission
for
many
years.
AD
He's
recently
moved
on
and
second
of
all,
my
daughter
was
with
the
Bellevue
using
Orchestra
for
five
years
and
went
through
46
different
orchestras
that
constitute
this
particular
organization.
So
I
am
personally
familiar
with
how
wonderful
that
organization
is
next,
a
couple
of
photographs
of
the
Seattle
Kent
sister
city
organization.
AD
This
is
an
older
organization,
but
as
far
as
I
know,
it
is
new
to
the
city
of
Bellevue
and
we
funded
an
annual
festival
in
the
spring
that
was
held
at
Vasa
Park,
which,
for
what
it's
worth
is
about
a
stone's
throw
from
my
house,
not
that
I'm
throwing
stones,
but
it
was,
at
any
rate,
a
one-day
festival
that
we
funded
and
then
finally,
the
Northwest
Sound
Men's
Chorus,
one
of
many
choral
groups
that
are
active
in
the
Bellevue
area
and
we
funded
a
sing,
sing
sing
program,
which
is
a
combination
of
both
performance
and
actual
singing
lessons
that
the
northwest
sound
men's
chorus
provides.
AD
So
that
is
in
many
respects
a
snapshot
of
the
kind
of
things
that
we
will.
We
would.
We
would
like
to
be
able
to
fund
moving
on
then
to
2020
and
then
just
a
few
words
about
process,
because
there
is
a
bit
of
a
transition
in
this
particular
year.
So
in
June
29
2019,
we
developed
the
guidelines,
and
that
is
the
the
typical
process.
You
graciously
approve
of
the
grant
guidelines
in
July
from
there.
AD
Those
recommendations
were
then
brought
to
the
Arts
Commission
on
December,
the
3rd
they
were
approved
and
now
it
is
December
the
9th
and
we
are
bringing
them
to
you.
One
small
note
about
2020
is
that
it
has
been
the
process.
The
second
of
our
circles
there
for
the
City
Council
to
approve
the
guidelines,
I
believe
that
we're
moving
on
from
that,
because
I
think
you
all
find
found
that
you
were
approving
the
same
thing
more
or
less
every
year,
and
that
was
unnecessary
so
going
forward.
AD
Our
allocations
committee
was
once
again
comprised
of
five
people:
that's
three
arts
commissioners
and
to
people
who
are
professionally
involved
with
the
Arts
and
they
once
again
gathered
in
November
and
selected
32
aside,
partnerships
3
power
at
Bellevue
grants
and
9
special
project
grants.
So
the
actual
funding,
the
the
grantees
that
we
are
recommending
are
in
your
packet
I'm,
going
to
go
now
very
briefly
and
somewhat
quickly
into
a
bunch
of
numbers
that
our
arts
program
staff
have
graciously
put
together,
but
I
think
they
are
meaningful,
meaningful
and
important.
This
is
a
list
of
performance.
AD
Metrics
artist
groups
funded
by
the
city
will
serve
an
estimated
1
million
six
hundred
and
thirty-four
thousand
and
seven
hundred
residents
and
visitors
in
2020
through
a
combination
of
museum
programs,
performances,
cultural
festivals
and
arts
education.
This
is
a
notable
jump
from
2019
where
the
number
was
somewhere
in
the
neighborhood
of
nine
hundred
and
thirty
thousand.
So
if
our
goal
is
to
increase
capacity
and
to
increase
impact,
we
feel
that
we
are.
We
are
making
great
strides
in
that
respect.
AD
Additionally,
the
city
will
City
support
will
ensure
over
133,000
people
have
access
to
these
opportunities
through
free
or
reduced
admissions.
An
additional
2800
youth
will
be
provided
with
scholarships
to
produce
paid
in
arts
education
programs
over
all.
The
grantees
will
offer
programs
designed
to
increase
access
for
people
with
disabilities.
Disadvantaged
youth
of
seniors,
low-income
people,
limited
english-speaking
people
and
historically
disadvantaged
minorities,.
AD
2700
artists,
four
thousand
three,
eight
hundred
and
thirty
volunteers
will
have
an
opportunity
to
contribute
their
creative
talents
to
Bellevue
in
2020
and
if
we
were
to
translate
these
into
full-time
positions
that
comes
to
roughly
eighty
three
full-time
paid
positions.
So,
though,
arts
funding
may
often
fall
sort
of
to
the
end
or
in
the
margins
of
a
city,
business
and
city
budget
planning.
We
believe
that
the
impact
is
real
and
tangible
and
extremely
important.
A
A
A
N
A
Been
moved
and
seconded
to
approve
any
questions
or
comments
again,
thank
you
on,
on
behalf
of
the
council
for
a
job
well
done
at
the
Arts
Commission.
We
appreciate
it
very,
very,
very
management,
so
with
that
I
will
call
for
the
call
for
the
question.
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
any
opposed.
The
motion
carries
and
is
adopted.
A
E
The
hour
and
the
number
of
items
we
have
left
on
the
agenda
I'll
make
this
very
brief.
There
are
two
options
laid
out
in
your
packet
for
the
selection
process
of
the
mayor
and
deputy
mayor
option.
One
allows
for
simultaneous
ballot
voting
option
number
two
defaults
to
Robert's
Rules,
and
the
nominees
would
need
to
be
voted
on
ordering
of
nomination.
You
have
any
questions
or
would
like
me
to
go
into
more
detail.
I'm
happy
to
do
so.
Can.
A
Did
assume
can
I
move
option?
One
second,
okay
option:
one
has
been
moved,
that's
the
option
that
has
been
followed
for
I
believe
the
last
three
elections,
three
cycles.
Yes,
any
other
questions
comments.
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye.
Any
opposed
motion
carries
on
a
7
to
nothing
vote.
The
next
item,
then,
is
to
select
a
temporary
chair
for
the
January
6
2020
meeting.
So.
E
Again,
it
will
be
brief.
The
council
has
had
a
long-standing
practice
of
designating
a
member
to
active
the
temporary
chair
for
overseeing
the
election
of
the
mayor
and
again
that
will
occur
on
January
6
2020.
The
rules
don't
specify
a
process
for
selecting
the
temporary
chair.
However,
the
historically
the
council
has
used
a
nomination
process
from
the
floor
and
then
voting
on
the
nominations
in
order.
Ok,.
A
N
A
Miss
Robinson
has
been
nominated.
Are
there
any
nominations?
Any
further
nominations,
seeing
none
all
closed
nominations.
All
those
in
favor
of
is
Robert
Robinson.
Being
the
the
temporary
chair
say,
aye
aye
any
opposed.
Congratulations,
I
think
so.
That
brings
us
to
the
consent.
Calendar
and
I
would
entertain
a
motion
to.
A
S
B
Here
and
we
could
get
a
brief
staff
report
yeah
some
background
information
on
the
proposed
ordinances
and
staff
are
here
on
my
friend
name
is
Patrick
advanced
any
questions.
Mike
thank.
AE
AE
My
web
city
wins
assistant
city
attorney
from
the
City
Attorney's
Office
before
you
tonight
is
I
meant
to
land
use
code
related
to
the
permitting
and
code
requirements
for
temporary
encampments,
hosted
by
religious
organizations
just
very
quickly
just
up
to
speed
on
where
we
are
in
the
process
which
initiated
early
in
2019
and
then
formally
the
council
initiated
the
code
amendment
process
in
September
of
2019.
AE
There
have
been
a
number
of
study
sessions.
A
public
hearing
also
occur
to
see
public
hearing
in
front
of
the
East
Bellevue
Community
Council.
We
are
here
tonight
on
December
9th
presenting
as
requested
by
the
council,
a
final
draft
ordinance
for
your
consideration
for
final
adoption.
The
content
of
that
at
a
high
level.
We
will
share
with
you
and
Tony,
will
kind
of
walk
through
the
major
elements
of
the
ordinance
in
front
of
Council
for
your
consideration,
Tony.
So.
M
I'm
going
to
talk
to
you
very
briefly
about
the
draft
ordinance
that
spoke
before
you
this
evening.
We
are
advancing
package
3,
which
was
discussed
at
the
November
25th
study
session
meeting,
and
this
was
a
package
that
council
expressed
interest
in
at
the
time
it
modifies
the
public
hearing
Luka.
In
regards
to
the
first
topic
of
Health
and
Safety.
It
aligns
the
standards
to
the
consent
decree
per
council
decision
it.
In
regards
to
the
second
topic
of
neighborhood
engagement,
every
moves,
the
litter
Patrol
requirement.
M
It
adds
an
optional
post
issuance
meeting
which
may
be
mandated
by
the
director,
and
it
requires
periodic
circuit
certification
with
conditions
of
approval
from
the
encampment
host.
Regarding
the
topic
of
duration
and
frequency,
the
ordinance
maintains
90
days
as
an
encampment
maximum.
That
deployments
can
only
occur
once
every
18
months
and
that
a
hundred
and
eighty
day
gap
between
employment
deployments
occurs
from
the
end
of
one
deployment
to
the
start
of
the
next
and
then.
AE
AF
A
AF
G
AF
A
A
A
AF
That,
okay
in
your
death
packet,
the
amendment
a
which
is
green,
is
an
amendment
that
removes
the
180-day
citywide
gap
from
ordinance
six
four,
nine
eight
amendment
B,
it's
yellow.
It
removes
the
180
day
gap
as
well
in
a
manner
that
provides
only
one
encampment
at
a
time
may
operate
in
the
city,
so
they
are.
Those
two
amendments
are
two
different
ways
to
eliminate
the
180
days,
citywide
gap
and.
R
N
I
moved
to
amend
section
for
door,
that's
numbers,
six,
four:
nine
eight!
By
striking
the
first
two
sentence
of
the
amended
section
xx:
dot
30
you've
got
one
two:
five:
a
five
of
the
Bellevue
land-use
code,
eliminating
the
minimum
citywide
gap
between
temporary
encampments,
which
would
have
the
effect
of
okay.
A
P
A
P
A
E
A
AE
This
amendment
would
amend
that
gap
would
eliminate
that
gap,
so
you
could
have
continuation
moving
one
encampment
currently
ninety
days
in
one
location,
to
another
location
for
90
days,
etc,
to
have
a
continuation
this
or
this
emotion
would
also
clarify
that
only
one
encampment
can
exist
in
the
city
at
a
time,
so
that
wouldn't
allow
multiple
and
cameras
to
occur
in
the
city.
At
the
same
time,
so
you
know
be
one
encampment,
but
it
could
continue
at
different
locations
and
and
across
the
city
for
the
entire
year.
AE
AE
A
A
S
S
G
S
Mr.
Brennan,
so
if
this
amendment
passes
and
underlying
ordinance
passes
in
theory,
we
could
have
five
churches
all
within
a
three-block
area
who
could
take
turns
hosting,
and
it
would
be
continuously
in
that
location,
three
months,
three
months,
three
months
three
months
and
go
back
around
to
Tippie
there
in
that
those
same
five
properties
continuously
is.
S
A
O
O
AE
O
A
What
does
that
mean?
I,
don't
think
that
I
mean
I,
think
that
there's
location
I'm
not
sure
what
councilmember
Lee
was
exactly
asking
about,
but
I
understand.
Could
you
explain?
Is
there
there
was
discussions,
the
last
council
meeting
regarding
this
regarding?
Could
you
have
sections
of
the
city
that
where
it,
but
if
it
was
hosted
in
one
section
it
could
not
be
hosted
in
that
section
would
have
to
move
some
if
a
church
in
another
section
of
the
city
would
be
able
to
host
it
and
I.
Think
that's
what
council
maybe.
O
I
was
thinking
that
locations
one
of
the
considerations
that
you
know
there
if
the
two
operating
sites
they
have
to
be
separated
by
certain
requirement,
restrictions
and
I
was
told
that
no
that's
a
no-no.
Okay.
So
then
we
talk
about
length,
everything's,
good
gap,
everything's
good,
okay
for
I
mention
locations
that
no
locations
other
question.
So
that's
not
the
case.
Maybe.
A
Yeah,
I'm
really
sorry
so
we're
trying
to
get
through
to
this
as
to
what
exactly
is
before
us
and
how
we?
How
if,
if
because
I,
was
under
the
impression
that
some
council
members
wanted
to
and
so
I'm
just
not
seeing
the
amendment
written
and
I,
don't
see
it
wasn't
me,
but
I'm,
not
seeing
the
amendment
written
and
I
can't
figure
out
why
it's
not
written
up
so
I
think
the
answer
is
this
is
the
motion
that
is
before
us.
A
Q
You
so
I
made
the
motion
for
this
amendment
B,
because
I
want
to
remove
the
gaps
between
the
encampments
so
that
they
can
go
back-to-back
if
that's
what's
required
of
the
population
we're
trying
to
serve,
and
there
would
be
a
continuity
of
services,
but
I
also
believe
that,
where
our
city
is
best
served,
if
there
is
one
encampment
going
on
at
a
time-
and
so
this
motion
that
I
made
removes
the
gap
that
puts
in
language
that
there
shall
be
no
more
than
one
temporary
encampment
in
the
city.
At
any
time.
S
I'd
like
to
speak
in
opposition
to
this
amendment,
I
think
the
draft
that
we
had
without
the
amendment
is
probably
just
about
right.
We've
had
people
from
the
neighborhood's
want
it
to
be
stricter
and
we've
had
people
from
the
faith.
Communities
wanting
it
to
be
looser
and
I've
found
that
if
everyone's
a
little
bit
unhappy,
it's
probably
fair
and
balanced
so
I'm
in
my
years
on
the
council's
so
and
I've
I.
Just
the
reason.
S
I
think
that
this
is
not
a
good
amendment
or
not
a
positive
amendment,
one
we
have
been
operating
under
consent
decree
for
a
number
of
years.
That
has
worked
very
well.
We
haven't
had
problems
with
we've,
had
some
problems
with
the
encampments
themselves
and
how
they've
impacted
neighborhoods,
but
we
have
not
had
problems
with
there
being
a
demand
for
encampments
that
have
exceeded
the
host
church's
ability
to
serve
them,
to
host
them
and
to
serve
them.
We've
also
had
a
neighborhood
that
has
been
unfairly
burdened
with
the
vast
majority
of
the
encampments,
as
proposed.
S
The
needs
of
how
a
church
operates
their
services,
particularly
with
regard
to
encampments,
and
the
court
in
Washington,
has
said
that
encampments,
unlike
serving
people
inside
the
sanctuary
or
inside
the
walls
of
the
church,
encampments,
have
more
impact
on
the
surrounding
neighborhoods
than
they
probably
do
on
the
average
parishioner
who
attends
a
church.
That
is
probably
the
opposite
of
people.
If
churches
serve
the
people
inside
their
walls,
if
they
truly
want
to
serve
people,
24/7
365
they
can
but
and
doing
so
wouldn't
be
less
burdensome
on
the
neighborhoods
I'm
very
concerned.
S
If
this
goes
through
that
we
will
have
on
campus
first
of
all,
there's
two
encampments
on
the
east
side.
So
how
do
we
pick
what
gets
to
be
in
Bellevue
at
any
one
time
if
only
one
is
allowed,
but
second
of
all,
it
would
unfairly
burden
one
particular
neighborhood
or
unfairly
burdens
the
cities
there's
a
lot
better
ways
to
serve
people
who
are
experiencing
homelessness,
including
in
the
shelter
that
we
help
fund
and
the
one
that
will
be
permanently
built,
including
Sophia
way.
S
A
N
N
One:
it's
that
that's
what's
the
legal
term,
it's
not
part
of
the
real
decision
made
by
the
court
and
I.
Don't
think
the
court
was
saying
what
you're
interpreting
on
that
and
I
disagree
with
that
and
I
think
we
are
and
yes
having
permanent
indoor
shelters
will
be
the
best
thing.
We
don't
have
them
and
will
be
two
to
three
years
before
we
have
one
accepted
one
temporary
for
men
and
there
are
other
needs-
and
this
is
I.
Think
and
I
I
mean
we
can.
N
Ten
cities
can
work,
not
well
in
sight,
shelters
can
work
well
inside
shelters
can
work
not
well,
that's
a
that's
a
false
choice
on
it
and
it
was
just
an
offhand
comment
by
the
court
and
we
can't
make
that
the
central
part
of
the
decision.
And
yes,
there
are
impacts
on
the
neighborhood,
but
there
are
also
impacts
on
people
living
in
our
city
and
there
are
the
impacts
on
those.
N
I,
just
I'm
just
concerned
that
we're
in
the
we're
not
balancing
the
overall
looking
at
the
whole
community
looking
to
people
who
are
in
need,
looking
at
the
the
rights
of
the
faith
community
and
and
thanking
them
for
actually
engaging
in
this,
and
at
the
same
time,
looking
for
and
and
just
saying
that,
once
again,
oh
I,
don't
want
to
be
this
inconvenience
or
I.
Don't
want
to
have
a
problem
in
my
neighborhood,
so
don't
help
these
people
and
I
just
bothers
me
that
we
we
have
belittle
this
in
this
way.
N
G
A
P
Listening
to
my
fellow
colleagues
and
thinking
about
what
ordinance
changes
make
sense
that
really
looks
at
what
the
our
lupa
allows
from
the
point
of
the
city:
putting
restrictions
on
the
religious
freedoms
of
expression,
as
well
as
being
cognizant
of
the
of
the
neighborhood
effect
of
having
a
tent
encampment
in
the
area,
and
so
as
I've
been
reflecting
on
this
I
will
be
passing
out
an
amendment
that
the
staff
and
I
actually
I
just
got
it
later
today.
So
I
didn't
get
a
chance
to
vet
it.
P
That's
why
I
didn't
just
put
it
out
there
that
will
be
offering
up
a
radius
in
lieu
of
no
180
day
gap,
because
I
do
inherently
believe
that
I
have
a
hard
time
being
able
to
defend
a
hundred
and
eighty
take
out
city.
Why?
Because,
as
I
brought
up
at
the
last
meeting
I'm
having
our
time
understanding
the
neighborhood
effect,
if
you
have
a
tent
encampment
in
South
Bellevue
and
then
the
next
one
is
in
Northwest
Bellevue,
what
that
effect
might
be,
but
I
can
understand
that
there
would
be
a
localized
effect
of
that
area.
P
A
Radius,
so
I
honestly
think
the
the
right
way
to
go
would
be
to
amend
this
motion
to
aply
to
apply
the
radius
to
it.
Have
the
vote
on
that
because
I
I
think
if
this
goes
down
to
defeat
I'm,
not
sure
parliamentary,
wise,
that
you
can
bring
that
back,
I,
I,
so
I
think
in
in
the
correct
order.
It
would
be
to
add.
A
Okay,
so
in
this
case
it
adds
instead
of
striking,
that
entire
paragraph,
and
only
leaving
temporary
encampments,
maybe
located
at
the
same
site
no
more
than
once
every
18
months
it
says,
temporary
encampments,
temporary
encampment
use
shall
be
permitted
within
one
shouldn't.
That
be
shall
not
be.
Oh,
no
I'm.
Sorry
I
missed
that
no
temporary
encampment.
You
shall
be
permitted
within
one-half
mile
of
any
site
where
a
temporary
encampment
use
under
luc
2030.
A
AE
If
there
were
an
encampment-
let's
just
say,
tempura
hosts
an
encampment
at
the
end
of
that
encampment
tip
of
a
night
tour
could
not
host,
for
they
would
be
limited
to
there.
There's
an
18-month
limitation
at
the
site,
but
also
the
properties
within
1/2
mile
radius
of
the
temple
beng,
our
final
or
a
property,
would
also
be
limited
to
their
ability
to
host
an
encampment.
They
have
to
wait
a
hundred
eighty
days
so
that
radius
area
would
be
a
no
encampment
for
180
days
is
what
this
amendment
would
do.
Okay,.
A
So
a
church
within
that
location
within
a
half
mile
location
of
you
used
temple
Bennett
or,
as
an
example,
would
have
the
180-day
limitation
applied,
but
other
churches
throughout
the
city
would
not-
and
these
are-
these
are
limited
essentially
to
religious
organization.
That's
correct,
okay,
so
I
believe
the
correct
parliamentary
procedure
at
this
point
would
be
for
councilmembers
on
to
move
a
sub
to
move
a
substitute
amendment
which
would
be
this
amendment.
So
a
substitute
to
the
amendment.
S
A
I
assume
that
okay
either
either
way
I
just
I,
just
want
to
make
sure
I
thought,
because
I
thought
there
was
a
three
loop
3-3
amendment
limit
to
an
amendment,
and
that's
why
this
was
called
a
substitute.
As
long
as
there
is
as
long
as
it
is
everybody
is
in
agreement,
we
can
consider
this
I
would
whatever
it
happens.
To
be
an
amendment
to
the
amendment.
Do.
A
Okay,
so
if
you
would
move
with,
you
would
move
buzanis
amendment
see
see
as
a
substitute
amendment
see.
Is
there
a
second
I?
Will
second,
okay,
councilman
deputy
mayor
seconds?
Okay,
so
this
is
before
us
now,
and
those
who
have
already
discussed
can
also
discuss
this
as
well.
But
council
members
on
I
know
you
did
a
little
bit
of
explanation
for
this.
Could
you
provide
your
thoughts
so
as.
P
I've
been
thinking
about
all
the
comments
we've
been
getting.
What
keeps
I'm
looking
at
this
from
the
standpoint
that
we
have,
we
are
allowed
as
a
city
to
look
at
the
effects
of
ten
encampments.
To
the
extent
that
then
we
can
put
some
restrictions
on
the
religious
freedom
of
expression.
So,
when
I
think
about
this
amendment
see
it
accounts
for
the
effect
of
the
proximity
of
a
tenth
encampment
to
some
radius,
but
it
does
not
overly
restrict
ten
encampments
in
other
parts
of
the
city
that
may
not
be
anywhere
close
to
that
particular
neighborhood.
P
V
S
As
I
said,
I
support
the
ordinance
as
written
but
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
to
amend
the
substitute,
and
that
is
to
add
back
in
the
first
sentence
that
came
from
amendment
B,
that
there
shall
be
no
more
than
one
temporary
encampment
in
the
city
at
any
time.
So
it
would
read
a
five
would
read:
there's
something
no
more
than
one
temporary
encampment
in
the
city.
S
At
any
time
followed
by
no
temporary
encampments
show
you
use
shall
be
permitted
within,
and
I've
changed
the
one
half
to
just
one
within
one
mile
of
any
site
or
a
temporary
encampment
use
under
Luc
Luc.
Twenty
thirty.
You
has
operated
within
the
prior
180
day
period
and
then
the
last
sentence
of
temporary
encampment
may
be
located
at
the
same
site.
You
know
more
than
once,
every
18
months.
S
So
what
that
does
is
it
pulls
the
sentence
that
deputy
mayor
Robinson
proposed
in
amendment
B
and
puts
it
into
amendment
C
and
it
changes
the
one
half
mile
radius
to
one
mile
and
that
because
of
one
half
mile
is
an
eight
to
ten
minute.
Walk
I
think
that
one
mile
1/2
mile
could
still
be
pretty
close.
One
mile
would
be
a
minimum,
and
so
I
would
make
that
a
motion
to
amend
it
would
ask
for
a
second
okay
moved.
N
A
N
Mean
I
think,
unfortunately,
we're
just
going
towards
being
more
restrictive
each
time
we're
looking
at
this-
and
this
is
this-
is
an
extremely
restrictive
motion
and
I,
don't
think
it
serves
anybody's
purpose
except
I'm.
Just
saying
we
really
don't
want
these
shelters
in
the
city,
except
in
a
very
limited
way
and
I
just
I.
A
O
You
know
making
change
that
the
encampment
can
actually
there's
no
gap.
Basically,
as
long
as
we
meet
the
requirement
of
the
location
within
one
mile
radius,
I
think
that's
improvement
for
the
desirability
of
taking
care
of
our
homeless
people
before
right
now
we
have
a
12
month
gap
and
I.
Think
by
doing
this,
I
believe
that
we're
not
going
to
have
a
12
month
gap
if
we
find
another
location
that
can
be
hosted
estas
within
the
geographic
limitation,
I
think
that's
an
improvement.
If
I'm
correct
is
that
correct?
It's
Wahpeton.
A
AE
O
K
You
Mary
yeah
I
mean
originally
I
was
in
support
of
package
three,
but
I'm
seem
to
be
bearing
off
course
now
and
I
really
appreciate
councilman
Stokes
passion
for
this
issue,
but,
like
this
amendment
from
councilmember
Robertson
is
because
I
don't
feel
personally
at
the
half
mile
is
further
enough
that
it
could
still
impact
some
of
those
same
residence
or
same
neighborhoods
which
we're
trying
to
avoid
here.
Yes,
we
want
to
provide
a
safe
encampment
for
those
children,
families
and
and
women
etc.
K
But
again
for
me,
it
comes
down
to
balance
and
compromise
and
I
have
to
take
those
neighborhoods
and
residents
into
into
account.
So
I
do
feel
like
this
amendment
is,
is,
is
the
right
way
to
go
if
we're
gonna
go
to
this
approach,
but
originally
I
was
much
more
in
favor
of
package
3,
but
happy
to
support
this
amendment.
Q
A
I'm
gonna
I'm
gonna
speak
in
favor
of
the
way.
This
has
been
amended
with
the
combination
of
the
Zhong
&
Robertson
amendment
and
I
think
what
we're
gonna
do
is
vote,
and
then
we
can
have
a
vote
on
the
final
ordinance
and
we
can
make
our
statements
just
clarification.
Sir,.
A
A
Q
A
Q
AE
Q
AF
Suggestion
was
not
so
much
a
legal
line
in
the
sand,
as
that
is
consistent
with
the
radius
adopted
in
the
homeless,
use
of
services
Luca
earlier
this
year,
I
believe
and
for
impacts
of
that
homeless,
services
use
and
similarly
0.5
miles
is
consistent
with
the
requirement
that
the
encampments
be
located
within
that
distance
from
transportation,
public
transportation,
which
would
set
the
expectation
corresponding
expectation
that
residents
of
temporary
encampments
would
potentially
be
walking
within
that
half
mile
radius.
And
that
was
the
basis
for
that.
Q
A
A
This
is
the
this
is
a
vote
on
that
amendment,
which
keeps
in
the
language
there
shall
be
no
more
than
one
temporary
encampment
in
the
city
at
any
time,
and
the
180
day
applies
to
Church
and
180
days
would
go
away
for
the
entire
city,
but
would
apply
to
a
one-mile
radius
around
the
church
and
my
stating
that
correctly
councilmember
and
that's
the
effect
okay,
so
that
is
before
us
at
this
moment.
You.
S
Wide
gap
versus
the
hosting
were
to
write
the
hosting
return.
No
one
has
made
a
motion
to
amend
where
they
can
only
do
one
every
18
months
right.
This
is
that
no
Kemper
encampment,
you
shall
be
permitted
within
one
mile
of
any
site
where
a
temporary
encampment
use
has
operated
within
the
prior
180
day
period.
So,
instead
of
180
day
gap
citywide
it's
a
180
day
gap
within
any
one
mile
area
between
and
then
18
months
for
the
same
return
to
the
same
so.
A
Well,
depending
on
where
you
start
counting
from,
but
we
do
start
counting
from
the
start
of
the
encampment,
so
it's
an
18-month
gap
that
a
individual
church
could
Rijos
attend
city
as
we
have
had
a
requirement
that
there
not
be
more
than
one
in
the
city
and
that
there
be
a
citywide
I.
Think
18-month
may.
AF
A
Citywide
is
one
per
calendar
year:
okay,
so
the
180
days
applies
to
the
other,
so,
as
drafted
180
days
would
apply
to
no
ordinance
at
any
church
in
the
city
after
a
church
within
the
city
hosts
an
encampment.
This
contracts
that
and
only
applies
that
180
day
gap
to
a
one
mile
radius
of
the
church
that
has
just
hosted
so
a
church
within
that
would
not
be
able
to
host
in
what
four
100
have
to
wait,
180
days
to
be
able
to
host
if
you're
within
a
mile.
A
So
but
if
you
are
a
church
that
is
outside
of
a
mile,
if-
and
in
this
case
let's
say
the
I
believe
it
was
a
Methodist
Church,
that's
near
me.
If
they
wanted
to
host,
they
could
host
it
immediately.
Following
the
conclusion
of
it,
we
use
the
example
of
Temple
B'nai
Torah.
They
are
well
outside
that
one-mile
cap,
just.
A
N
A
AF
A
In
fact,
I
believe
it
was
the
rabbi
who
testified
tonight
about
the
distances
from
a
number
of
churches
that
are
located
near
Temple,
B'nai
Torah.
So
those
are
examples
of
the
churches
that
under
a
mile
would
not
be
able
to
host
for
a
hundred
and
eighty
days
after
the
conclusion
of
one
at
Temple,
B'nai
Torah,
all.
A
N
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
mean
you're
you're,
absolutely
saying
that
they
hundred
eight.
There
are
two
rules,
one
the
Temple
B'nai
Torah
is
their
their
encampment
ends.
They
have
to
wait
18
months
or
15
months,
whatever
15
months.
Yes.
So
what?
Where
is
the
hundred
and
eighty
day
deployment
come
in
to.
AD
AF
Or
frequency-
and
that
is
one
per
year
and
there
is
and
then
180
day
citywide
gap
and
I'm.
Sorry
I'm,
not
in
the
code,
but
in
the
current
framework,
and
then
there
is
a
requirement
for
one
hosting
every
18
months
at
the
same
site.
So
the
ordinance
as
amended
is
one
hosting
at
the
same
site
every
18
months
and
then
the
citywide
provision
would
only
be
and
there
would
be
no
citywide
provision.
The
180
day
gap
only
applies
within
a
one-mile
radius
of
the
last
post.
So.
AE
A
A
S
A
Okay,
now
we
have
to
yeah
I'm
sorry
I,
so
we
now
have
to
move
up,
but
we
now
have
to
vote
on
the
substitute
as
amended
all
those.
If
there's
no
further
discussion,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye.
Any
opposed
motion.
Did
you
vote?
No
mr.
Allen
you're
gonna
vote.
No,
so
the
motion
passes
six
to
one
councilmember
Stokes
opposed.
We
are
about
four
minutes
away.
Do
how.
A
We
would
now
have
before
us.
The
final
main
motion,
as
amended
is:
are
there
any
further
amendments
to
be
made?
I
would
like,
since
I,
really
kind
of
stayed
away,
I'd
like
to
make
just
some
brief
comments
regarding
this
I
think
that
this
package
meets
the
constitutional
requirements
in
places
a
reasonable
balance.
A
It
is
consistent
with
the
record
that
we
have
received,
which
is
that
not
only
are
there
issues
related
to
the
deployment
of
an
ordinance
in
the
very
immediate
vicinity,
but
in
a
broader
of
vicinity,
and
so
I
believe
that
this
is
a
very
defensible
motion.
It
is
less
restrictive,
but
we're
in
a
climate
in
which
the
courts
are
telling
us.
We
need
to
be
less
restrictive
and
we
are
balancing
the
right
of
a
religious
organization
to
minister
to
people
with
the
ability
to
rip
to
regulate
time,
place
and
manner
of
the
activity.
A
N
There's
no
reason
you
can't
have
one
shelter
in
another
part
time,
while
away
from
the
other
way
and
I
just
think,
we've
lost
an
opportunity
to
actually
address
the
needs
more.
This
again,
this
is
the
current
crisis
system
in
the
crisis
that
was
happening
13
years
ago,
and
it
may
be
an
incremental,
maybe
a
difference,
but
I
just
think
we
missed
an
opportunity
to
do
much
much
better.
N
A
I
am
seeing
nobody
else
who
wishes
to
speak
to
this
I'm,
going
to
call
for
the
question
on
final
passage
as
amended,
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
aye.
Any
opposed.
No
motion
passes
on
a
vote
of
6
to
1,
and
we
will
put
this
together
and
I'll
be
able
to
sign
that.
Hopefully,
tomorrow,
it'll
it'll
take
a
little
while
to
get
it
together.
Sign
the
rest
of
everything.
That's
been
passed.
A
A
A
And
seconded
to
a
past
65,
this
is
amendments
to
the
comprehensive
plan
as
a
separately
set
forth
in
$64.99,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
any
opposed.
The
motion
passes
on
a
7
to
nothing
vote.
Thank
you
very
much,
council
members.
Thank
you
for
16
great
years.
Thank
you
for
two
great
years
as
the
mayor
of
the
city,
seeing
no
further
business
to
come
before
the
council.
We're
adjourned.
