Okay,
so
what
we
will
do
they
may
have
been
told
we
would
that
we
would
do
it
in
a
different
order,
so
we
will
just
proceed
now
to
will
put
that
on
hold
and
we
will
proceed
to
communications,
written
and
oral
communications
written
oral.
You
have
three
minutes
to
address
the
Bellevue
City
Council
on
anything
that
you
would
like
to
address
us
on.
A
Given
the
number
of
people
in
the
audience
and
most
of
the
faces
I
know,
I,
don't
think
that
we
will
go
the
full
30
minutes,
so
we
will
take
the
people
in
the
order
that
they
have
signed
up
if
you
are
unfamiliar
when
the
green
light
goes
on,
you
are
on
the
clock.
The
yellow
light
signifies
that
you
have
one
minute
remaining
and
when
the
red
light
goes
on,
we
ask
that
you
stop
so
I
think
a
couple
of
people
are
now
arriving
who
are
signing
in
so
I'm
in
oh.
B
A
B
Personal
yeah
I,
don't
mention
name,
no,
it's
okay,
but
when
you
say
absolutely
little
wooden
people
use
this
every
day
right
now
how
many
times
per
day,
okay,
so
a
situation
right
now,
very
simple,
economic,
political,
economic,
a
culture
all
stay
in
together,
you
broken
one
sign,
broke
everything
why
you
know
explain
to
you
what
my
opinion
right
now
very
strange.
We
have
a
big
problem
right
now
with
Seattle
in
Kim
country.
Is
this
problem
I
explained
to
you
in
detail?
B
Why
I
think
in
fascist
who
got
bigger
and
bigger
and
bigger
in
you
open
newspaper,
everything
is
a
nightmare
right
now,
Republican
almost
gone,
so
we
have
a
one-party
system
by
definition,
I
have
11
trespasses
from
Seattle
for
1,200
days,
so
I
cannot
go
to
council
chamber
yeah
into
this.
I
have
few
trespasses
from
King
country.
So
right
now,
I
have
a
couple
weeks
ago,
a
cop
trespass
from
Keene
country.
What
is
give
me
by
Sheriff?
B
Why
should
if
acting
like
a
political
police
like
a
Gestapo
is
very
complicated
for
me
in
and
confuse
about
this,
but
yeah,
you
have
a
power
with
you
like
the
cockroaches,
it's
okay
with
me,
so
why
is
he
doing?
This?
I
am
I
only
one
Jew
who
going
speak
and
say
consul
from
Seattle
consul
from
Tim
country
scared
when
I
go
and
speak
only
for
my
two
minutes,
sometimes
for
Germany,
guys,
I'm.
So
sorry,
I'm,
not
Karl,
Marx
in
know
Trotsky.
B
You
know
what
is
mean:
I'd
spoken
for
two
million
two
thousand
five
hundred
times,
but
only
for
two
minutes.
Sometimes
in
I
spoke
against
what
has
been
okay.
I
spoke
for
American
capitalism,
because
American
capitalism,
I
sense,
is
the
best.
What
is
I
know
right
now,
probably
for
all
my
life,
so
situation
right
now.
Very
simple:
is
this
exactly
what's
happened?
One-Party
system
never
have
a
positive
for
the
people
in
ever.
Economical
will
be
good
because
Democrat
right
now
still
billion
in
billion
foreigners,
acting
like
a
mafia
like
organized
criminal.
B
So
right
now,
I
speak
to
everybody
who
pardoned,
not
freaking,
idiot,
IDI,
distorted,
absolutely
legal
word
or
Christina.
You
know
what
is
mean:
we
cannot
spend
a
hundred
billion
dollars
when
fifty
personage
people
Indian
country,
totally
poor.
Twenty
persons
make
less
than
ten
thousand
dollars
stand
up
America.
We
need
cleans
dirty
chamber
from
fascism
in
King
country.
Thank
you
very
much.
C
Karen
Morris
my
addresses
on
file
last
January
step,
set
up
a
focus
group
meeting
for
those
who
have
lived
near
an
encampment
and
participated
in
permit
process
invitation
was
by
letter
two
weeks
before
that
midweek
midday
meeting
seven
participated,
Sept
one
by
phone,
since
four
neighborhoods
had
hosted
and
we
were
told
seventeen
were
invited
about
four
per
site.
I
was
puzzled.
Why?
Some
who
met
the
stated
criteria
were
not
invited?
It
was
not
a
long
meeting.
C
Our
experiences
were
seemingly
much
more
problematic
from
my
neighborhood
than
others,
and
I
will
communicate
later
about
possible
reasons
for
that
four
of
the
seven
people
were
from
my
neighborhood,
where
five
stays
out
of
the
total
ten
had
occurred.
We
heard
the
process
had
begun
in
that
first
quarter
and
would
go
to
the
council
at
the
end
of
March
at
the
latest,
and
then
more
public
process
would
happen
in
May
I
heard
that
the
council
would
discuss
it
in
June
didn't
happen.
C
Some
of
us
knew
about
a
pretty
hard
deadline
at
year's
end,
at
least
twice
before,
when
such
a
deadline
existed.
Action
was
taken
at
the
last
minute
without
us
having
any
notice
of
it
ahead
of
time,
and
we
found
out
after
the
fact
in
both
cases
an
extension
of
the
consent
decree
happened.
We
thought
perhaps
that
was
coming
again,
then
in
mid-august,
I
heard
this
issue
came
up
in
a
conversation
of
the
mayors
where
he
said
that
I
and
my
neighbors
were
involved
in
a
redoing
of
regulations.
C
I
was
surprised,
I
plan
to
check
in
September
after
council
hiatus.
Finally,
at
the
very
end
of
August,
I
got
an
email
following
up
on
the
January
31st
meeting,
then
seven
months
passed
in
my
neighborhood
that
went
to
three
households.
Only
those
who
made
the
prior
meeting
others
who
met
stated
criteria
were
not
contacted
now
or
in
some
cases
by
their
time,
including
one
who
originally
responded
with
strong
interest
in
participating,
but
in
a
possible
of
attending
the
first
meeting.
C
A
timeline
has
now
been
laid
out
that
concerns
me
this
even
more
than
the
men's
shelter
is
a
citywide
issue.
Possible
sites
are
located
throughout
the
city,
in
many
residential
neighborhoods
and
in
close
proximity
to
each
other
and
to
other
sensitive
uses.
The
low
barrier
men's
shelter
is
now
year-round
and
its
capacity
has
repeatedly
been
described
as
adequate
to
Bellevue's
needs
into
the
foreseeable
future.
This
raises
logical
questions
about
the
need
for
tent
cities
here
and
the
implications
about
how
they
should
be
regulated.
If
so,
the
mayor
had
mentioned
this
link
in
past
council
discussion.
C
We
need
to
explore
that
and
other
issues
fully.
It
is
worrisome
that,
whenever
the
reason
for
repeat
but
whatever
the
reason
for
repeated
delays
in
the
timeline
addressing
this
issue,
the
unfortunate
end
result
is
to
shorten
the
window
of
opportunity
for
public
research
and
input
and
push
it
into
the
busy
last
quarter
of
the
year.
I
hope
all
efforts
will
be
made
to
mitigate
that.
Thank
you
for
your
attention
and
I
look
forward
to
meeting
with
all
of
you
soon.
Thank
you.
D
I
state
minute
it's
bit
more
hastily
prepared,
however
I
am
my
name,
is
Jan
Chilton
Isaac
I
do
live
in
Bellevue
in
the
Crossroads
area.
My
address
is
on
record
I've,
been
in
Bellevue
resident
and
property
owner
since
2013
some
people
question
if
I
have
any
stakes
or
right
to
an
opinion
on
this
Luka
permitting
process.
D
Since
I
wasn't
here
for
the
2005
proceedings,
I
think
after
being
here
for
six
years,
paying
taxes
being
involved
in
city
council
meetings
and
in
previous
mediation
attempted
between
a
neighborhood
group
and
one
of
the
encampment
hosts
I
am
fully
aware
of
the
process
and
have
some
well
informed
opinions
and
concerns
based
on
years
of
following
these
attempted
deregulation,
efforts
at
local,
county
and
state
levels.
Some
of
us
have
the
following
concerns:
cities.
The
city
should
not
urge
the
city
should
take
into
account
not
only
impacts
on
the
homeless,
but
also
their
duty
and
charge.
D
A
public
health
and
safety
for
all
within
the
city.
Outdated,
outdated
is
often
code
for
we
want
you
to
accept
our
interpretation
of
what
current
court
cases
and
such
mean,
and
we
expect
get
concessions
based
on
that.
We
in
this
situation
being
the
hosts
and
the
operators
simplified
process,
can
mean
taking
out
a
lot
of
the
regulation
that
the
city
of
the
hosts
and
the
operators
may
not
like
and
remove
opportunities
for
neighborhood
input
and
some
give-and-take
between
hosts
and
neighbors.
D
Consistently
through
the
region
implies
that
Bellevue
should
move
to
some
much
lower
common
denominator.
Not
that
others
should
compromise.
Also
meaning
if
what's
happening
in
Seattle,
is
not
a
desired
outcome
for
Bellevue.
Why
would
we
look
to
Seattle's
current
regulations
to
guide
our
own
forward
movements?
D
Flexibility
does
mean
concessions,
and
that
are
committed
to
working
with
adjacent
neighborhoods
could
just
mean
rhetoric.
The
criteria
could
be
right
for
challenge
and
extension
to
all
committed
or
not
again,
streamline
could
threaten
substantive
chance
of
neighborhood
input
and
accountability,
and
overall
accountability.
D
A
You
very
much
is
there
anyone
else
signed
up.
Is
there
anyone
else
who
wishes
to
address
the
council
tonight,
seeing
none
that
will
be
the
conclusion
of
public
comment.
We
will
be
having
the
issue
of
the
land
use
code
relating
to
a
tent
encampment
song
with
a
religious
organizations
after
we
come
back
from
the
executive
session.
I
think
what
we?
Yes,
oh
yeah,
let's,
let's
take
care
of
the
proclamation.
Now,
if
the
individuals
are
all
here,
I
see,
okay,
so
good,
we
will
do
the
proclamation
and
then
I'll
give
the
reasoning
for
the
executive
session.
A
So
this
is
about
national
drive
electric
week,
whereas
petroleum
fueled
vehicles
contribute
to
over
40
percent
of
our
local
greenhouse
gas
emissions
and
our
major
contributing
factor
for
air
pollution
and
climate
change.
And
whereas
to
meet
our
regional
and
local
greenhouse
gas
emission
reduction
targets.
A
We
must
continue
to
explore
alternative
fueled
vehicles
and
alternative
modes
of
transportation
and
whereas
the
city
of
Bellevue
has
embraced
electric
vehicles
through
an
investment
in
charging
stations
for
our
fleet
and
the
public,
and
by
purchasing
electric
and
hybrid
vehicles
for
our
fleet
and
whereas
the
city
of
Bellevue
will
host
a
national
drive
electric
Week
event
on
September
10
at
the
downtown
park
for
residents
to
come
and
learn
about
the
benefits.
Elections
from
other
owners
and
residents.
And
whereas
Bellevue
has
one
of
the
highest
electric
vehicle
ownership
rates
in
the
state
and
the
country.
A
And
whereas
it
is
critical
that
the
transportation
sector
partner,
with
the
public,
with
the
public
and
private
sector,
to
move
toward
adoption
of
clean
energy
technology,
including
plug-in
electric
vehicles
and
whereas
Bellevue
is
dedicated
to
being
a
leader
in
the
use
of
clean
energy.
Establishing
policies
and
programs
that
conserve
energy
and
promotes
sustainability
and
whereas
September
14
through
the
22nd
2019,
has
been
designated
as
national
drive
electric
week
throughout
the
United
States
to
educate
our
citizens,
about
the
benefits
of
plug-in
electric
vehicles
and
to
promote
their
adoption.
F
A
What
I'd
like
to
do
is
this:
let's
I
will
do
the
break
us
to
executive
session,
but
if
we
can
get
a
photograph
with
council
and
and
yourself
with
the
proclamation,
I
will
do
that
right
after
we
break
to
go
to
executive
sessions,
so
we
now
have
for
approximately
20
minutes
an
executive
session
under
our
CW
42.3
0.11,
o
one
sub.
I
we
will
be
in
for
approximately
20
minutes
and
give
us
a
few
minutes
to
take
the
photograph
so
I'm
going
to
say
we
will
be
back
at.
A
G
Amendment
process
so
joining
us
this
evening
is
Mike
Brennan.
Our
director
of
our
development
services
department
to
his
right
is
Tony
Pratt
a
senior
land
use
planner
and
to
his
left
is
Cindy
Lynn
assistant
city
attorney,
so
that
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
to
Mike.
For
for
beginning
the
presentation.
H
Great
thank
you
mr.
miacca
good
evening,
mayor
Chum,
enak,
deputy
mayor
Robinson
and
councilmembers.
As
mr.
miacca
mentioned.
We
are
here
to
discuss
temporary
encampments
and
a
recommendation
to
move
forward
with
a
land
use
code
amendment
that
would
address
changes
to
the
temporary
encampment
regulations.
H
We
are
specifically
asking
for
that
council
for
council
direction
to
initiate
that
process
and
also
for
Kant,
recommending
that
the
council
retain
the
process
and
hold
the
public
hearing
because
of
the
involvement
of
a
consent
decree
within
the
regulatory
scheme.
So
this
win
will
speak
more
to
that
in
just
a
few
minutes.
So
just
in
general.
What
we
want
to
cover
this
evening
is
really
some
background
in
history,
about
temporary
encampments
within
the
city
feedback
that
we
have
received
from
stakeholders,
both
signatories
to
the
consent
decree
as
well
as
neighbors
around
previous
and
camera
locations.
H
We
want
to
talk
about
the
public
engagement
in
the
schedule
to
advance
a
land
use
code.
Amendment
forward,
so
miss
Pratt
will
speak
to
that
and
then
again,
at
the
end,
we'll
be
asking
for
specific
council
direction
to
begin
the
process
if
the
council
desires
so
with
that
I
will
hand
that
clicker
to
miss
lane.
Who
can
speak
about
a
little
bit
more
about
the
background
in
history?
Thank.
I
You
Mike
good
evening,
mayor
deputy
mayor
and
councilmembers,
so
I
actually
want
to
start
a
little
bit
before
2005,
which
is
the
first
date
on
this
timeline
around
2004.
The
region
was
dealing
with
a
lot
of
temporary
encampments
that
were
being
hosted
by
religious
organizations,
including
churches
and
temples
as
an
expression
of
faith
and
the
there
is
a
network
of
laws,
including
the
federal
and
state
constitutions,
and
a
federal
statute,
commonly
known
as
our
lupa
that
governs
the
expression
of
faith
or
the
government
regulation
that
impacts,
faith,
expression
and
because
of
that
body
of
law.
I
The
city
felt
it
was
important
to
move
forward
with
a
regulation
that
complied
with
those
requirements
and
generally
those
requirements
allow
the
city
to
regulate
religious
exercise.
So
long
as
we
are
not
imposing
a
substantial
burden
on
such
religious
exercise
unless
the
regulation
is
there
is
further,
is
a
compelling
government
interest
and
is
the
least
restrictive
means
to
further
that
interest.
I
I
That
I
described
a
little
bit
earlier
after
that,
as
a
result
of
the
litigation
in
January
2006,
a
consent
decree
was
entered
between
the
parties
to
the
litigation
and
that
consent
decree
is
essentially
a
settlement
agreement
that
it's
a
contractual
agreement
between
the
parties
as
to
how
the
temporary
encampments
in
the
city
would
be
administered
and
permitted
under
2030.
You.
So
it's
been
a
little
bit
over
13
years
since
that
time
the
parties
have
been
operating
since
that
time,
under
a
combination
of
the
consent,
decree
and
chapter
2030.
I
You-
and
at
this
point
the
consent
decree,
which
has
been
extended
two
times
since
2006
is
set
to
expire
on
January
27
2020,
and
that
is
why
we
are
here
before
you
today
to
ask
to
move
forward
with
a
land
use
code,
amendments
and
similar
to
kind
of
that
backdrop
that
I
provided
about
what
2030
you
does
regulate.
We
also
think
it's
important
to
clarify
what
it
does
not
regulate.
I
Similarly,
this
land-use
code
amendment
process
will
not
regulate
or
relate
to
temporary
or
permanent
shelters
for
a
persons
experiencing
homelessness.
Those
also
have
been
addressed
through
other
legislative
processes
before
the
council,
so
I'm
gonna
turn
this
over
now
to
Toni

Who
can
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
the
administration
of
the
temporary
encampments
in
the
city
between
2005
and
the
present
day,
as
well
as
an
overview
of
the
neighborhood
feedback.
We
have
received
Thank
You.
J
Cindy
so
I'm
gonna
talk
briefly
about
the
temporary
encampments
from
2005
to
2016
I
want
to
let
you
know
that
I
processed
all
of
the
temporary
encampment
applications
since
2005
there
have
been
ten
applications
total.
Since
that
time,
Temple
B'nai
Torah
has
hosted
five
times
that
you
can
see.
That's
an
eastern
portion
of
this
map
moving
inward,
the
Church
of
Resurrection,
has
hosted
once
and
moving
west
to
the
north
is
the
first
United
Methodist
Church,
who
has
hosted
twice
and
then
st.
J
Luke's,
Lutheran
Church,
who
has
hosted
twice
as
well,
and
the
thing
I
see
at
this
cross
section
of
this
map
is:
is
that
it's
not
for
everyone?
There's
many
religious
institutions
within
the
city,
but
we've
only
had
postings
from
these
four
entities
and
in
fact
we
have
not
had
another
hosting
since
Temple
B'nai
Torah
hosted
in
2016.
So
there
have
been
no
further
requests
since
that
time,
and
then
the
other
thing
I
want
to
let
everyone
know
is,
is
that
some
of
the
entities
that
are
on
this
map,
st.
J
Luke's
Lutheran
Church,
seems
to
have
moved
from
temporary
encampment
to
more
permanent
forms
of
housing
because
they
entered
into
a
relationship
with
imagined
housing
and
they
just
installed
63
units
of
affordable
housing
on
their
site
earlier
this
year.
So
it's
just
a
changing
landscape
with
homelessness
work.
So
before
we
get
into
the
stakeholder
feedback,
I
want
to.
J
Let
you
know
that
we
conducted
an
internal
review
of
where
we
are
with
the
land
use
code
2030
you
which
again
recomm
deals
with
temporary
encampments
and
then
also
the
consent
decree
and
its
interpretations
that
set
the
framework,
and
let
us
know
where,
where
we
need
to
make
changes
and-
and
let
us
know
how
that
we
were
stacking
up
from
there.
We
then
went
outward
and
then
began
having
conversations
with
the
stakeholders.
J
So
we
went
and
engaged
the
original
signatories
of
the
consent
decree,
and
then
we
also
went
out
and
talked
to
a
neighborhood
focus
group
of
individuals
who
volute
who
have
lived
adjacent
to
the
four
sites
that
you
just
saw
on
the
map
previously.
So
what
we
heard
from
the
signatories
is
is
that
tent
cities
are
necessary
and
they
have
a
right
to
exist.
J
The
signatories
understand
that
this
is
not
the
best
form
of
our
solution
to
homelessness,
but
they
feel
that,
if
it's
necessary,
because
people
need
to
live
together
collectively
rather
than
individually,
they
also
said
that
the
consent,
decree
and
2030
you
are
outdated.
They
also
suggested
that
we
consider
a
simplification
of
the
permitting
process
for
those
religious
institutions
who
have
hosted
previously
and
then.
Lastly,
they
looked
at
stated
to
us
that
tent
cities
should
be
managed
consistently
throughout
the
region.
Tony.
J
The
signatories
are
composed
of
a
collection
of
religious
institutions
such
as
Temple,
B'nai,
Torah,
st.
Luke's,
Lutheran,
Church,
Church
of
resurrection
and
the
greater
Church
Council,
and
then
also
the
sheer,
will
and
then
also
tent
city.
For
so
those
are
the
original
signatories
of
the
consent.
Decree.
I
J
Thank
you.
So,
in
regards
to
the
now
moving
to
the
neighborhood
group
feedback
and
to
be
clear
what
we
did
to
try
to
to
staff
a
neighborhood
focus
group,
we
went
back
and
we
pulled
every
sign-in
sheet
from
every
hosting
to
2005.
We
then
also
went
back
and
ran
the
600
foot
radius
and
looked
at
the
individuals
who
participated
in
the
public
meetings
since
that
time
and
because
we
felt
that
those
individuals
have
they
came
out,
they
spent
the
time
coming
into
the
meeting
and
in
voicing
their
comments
during
the
city
held
public
meeting.
J
So
this
is
the
composition
of
the
neighborhood
focus
group.
So
what
we
heard
from
this
group
is
is
that
they
desired
an
increase
accountability
for
encampment
host
and
operators
and
the
reason
that
they
said
that
is
is
that
whenever
that
they
an
encampment
the
process
was
completed,
the
deployment
got
out
on
the
property.
If
there
were
operational
failures,
they
felt
like
they
lost
contact
with
the
host,
so
they
wanted
to
be
able
to
create
a
process
that
there
could
be
after-action
contact,
so
they
also
sought
alignments
between
the
consent,
decree
and
the
land
use
code.
J
J
They
also
suggested
that
we
look
at
best
practices
learned
from
previous
Hosting's,
and
so
during
the
focus
group,
we
had
information
that
was
shared
from
in
contacts
from
First,
United,
Methodist,
Church
and
essentially,
what
they
told
us
is
that
the
church
administration
there
listen
to
the
neighbors
say
if
the
neighbors
wanted
a
taller
fence,
they
installed
the
taller
fence
and
added
what
took
it
from
6
feet
to
eight
feet.
They
also
then
created
a
neighborhood
watch
because
there
were
meant
several
parents
that
attended
the
meeting.
J
So
those
are
some
of
the
common
practices
that
we've
learned
over
the
years.
They
also
suggested
that
there
be
a
bell,
be
blase
solution
for
temporary
encampments
and
then,
lastly,
create
flexibility
for
hosts
who
are
committed
to
working
with
the
adjacent
neighborhood.
So
with
all
of
that,
that
culminates
to
the
next
slide
that
Cindy's
going
to
take
you
through
to
talk
about
our
staff
recommendations.
J
I
In
the
meantime,
in
2010,
the
state
legislature
also
passed
legislation
that
regulated
that
governed,
how
local
governments
regulate,
temporary
encampments
and
that
RC
W
similarly
reflects
the
obligation
that
the
regulations
we
pass
relate
to
health
and
safety
and
that
they
do
not
create
a
substantial
burden
for
religious
to
religious
exercise.
So,
in
light
of
that,
we
arrived
at
four
primary
recommendation.
Areas.
First
is
a
permit
process
of
streamlined,
permitting
process
for
religious
hosts
who
have
hosts
temporary
encampments
in
the
past.
I
The
second
area
is
some
revisions
to
neighborhood
engagements,
which
couldn't
include
the
addition
of
optional
neighborhood
meetings
after
permit
issuance,
as
well
as
the
elimination
of
the
mandatory
litter
Patrol,
which
I
think
the
parties
agreed.
They
had
no
desire
to
continue
some
edits
to
the
location
and
frequency
and
duration
of
the
temporary
encampment
deployments,
potentially
a
hundred
twenty
day,
long
duration
and
looking
at
a
twelve
month,
gap
between
temporary
encampments
within
the
city
and,
finally,
alignment
of
the
health
and
safety
standards
that
are
contained
in
the
consent
decree
with
the
existing
code.
J
So
we
want
to
talk
to
you
a
little
bit
about
the
public,
engagement
and
schedule,
so
we
want
to
continue
to
inform
the
community
stakeholders
of
the
potential
changes.
There
are
process
for
requirements
of
the
land
use
code.
Rich
legislates
legislative
edge
efforts
of
the
council,
so
we
will
hold
at
public
hearing
before
council
and
then
also
a
courtesy
public
hearing
before
the
EBC
scene.
J
We
want
to
enhance
those
process
for
requirements
by
establishing
a
web
presence
under
hot
topics,
work
with
the
PIO
to
a
message,
luka
progression
and
create
a
luka
inbox
for
commenters
and
then.
Lastly,
as
far
as
scheduling
is
concerned,
we
this
is
a
high-level
just
to
give
you
an
idea
of
what
the
dates
would
be,
but
they
could
be
subject
to
change.
But
we
anticipate
that
council
study
sessions
will
take
place
between
September
and
November.
J
We
would
tend
to
flip
to
get
to
the
e
BCC
for
courtesy
hearing
in
November,
with
a
public
hearing,
November,
18th
tentatively
and
then
with
final
action
in
December
and
EB
CC
adoption
in
January
and
again
the
consent
decree
expires
January
27th
with
any
potential
luc
taking
going
into
effect.
After
that
date,
so
with
that.
H
So
that
wraps
up
the
presentation
from
staff
and
again
the
request
to
council
this
evening
is
to
give
us
direction
on
a
recommendation
to
proceed
with
the
Lanie's
code,
amendment
to
address
temporary
encampments,
hosted
by
religious
organizations
on
their
property
and
also
seeking
council
concurrence
to
if
they.
If
you
choose
to
proceed
with
the
amendment,
to
retain
oversight
of
the
process
and
with
the
public
hearing.
A
I'm
gonna
ask
for
another
piece
of
information
that
I
believe
is
important
to
this,
and
that
is
with
the
last
signing
of
the
consent.
Decree
I
believe
there
was
some
discussion
with
the
judge
and
with
the
parties
about
whether
or
not
we
should
be
coming
back
and
asking
for
an
extension
of
the
consent.
Decree
again
is
that
accurate.
I
A
I
A
And
that's
why
you
did
the
outreach
in
January
you've
met
with
council
done.
Some
briefings
with
us
did
some
outreach
right
that
we
knew
that
the
state
was
coming.
Yes,
yes,
okay,
so
I've
got
a
lot
of
history
in
this,
but
I'm
gonna.
Let
others
go
ahead.
It
looks
like
councilmember.
Robertson
is
ready
to
go
yeah.
K
Thank
you
here.
Yeah
we've
been,
let's
have
been
pending
ever
since
I've
been
on
council
for
the
last
ten
years.
We
knew
that
this
was
coming
and
I
do
believe
it's
time
to
move
forward,
to
amend
the
land
code
so
that
Ramone
longer
operating
under
a
consent
decree
and
that
we're
ready
to
go
so
I'm
in
favor
of
moving
forward.
K
To
that
end,
when
this
is
coming
for
action,
there's
certain
information
I
would
like
to
have
available
for
myself.
That
I
think
would
also
be
helpful
to
the
public
in
evaluating
what
the
exact
right
land-use
code,
language
policies
are.
One
is
I'd
like
to
see
a
comparison
of
2030
you
the
terms
of
it
compared
to
the
terms
in
the
consent.
Decree
I
know
that
we
I've
been
briefed
on
it
in
years
past,
but
what
exactly
were
the
terms
that
were
changed
by
the
consent
decree?
Secondly,
you
know
where
do
they
conflict?
K
Secondly,
I
know:
there's
been
cases
that
have
come
out
since
the
2005
consent
decree
on
temporary
encampments.
So
I
don't
know
if
there's
any
new
are
CW's
state
statutes,
but
there
have
been
some
that
were
proposed.
I,
don't
know
that
they
passed,
but
are
there
new
laws,
new
case
law?
That
would
impact
our
current
twenty
thirty.
You
terms,
you
know:
what
are
they
and
how
do
they?
How
would
they
in
compliance,
would
that
be
required?
How
would
our
language
in
twenty
thirty
you
be
required
to
to
change,
and
then
on
the
regional
approach?
K
It
sounds
like
we're.
Looking
at
what
other
cities
are
doing,
I'd
love
to
see
something
that
compares
in
broad
terms,
some
of
the
any
of
the
major
policy
issues
on
how
the
cities
differ,
but
with
particular
attention
to
how
they
differ
on
outreach
and
effective
mitigation.
So
because
we
could
learn
from
the
region,
I
don't
want
to
go
to
the
lowest
common
denominator.
I
want
to
do
something:
that's
legal
and
that
balances
the
needs
and
the
rights
of
the
religious
institutions
with
neighborhood
safety
and
cleanliness.
K
F
K
So
if
we
could
have
a
sign
up
for
alerts
on
this
item
link
on
whatever
page
we
set
up
that
way
when
people
find
out
about
it,
they
can
make
sure
that
they
stay
informed
through
the
process.
It's
a
relatively
it's
going
to
be
a
relatively
short
process
and
we
want
to
make
sure
people
get
timely
notice
so
that
they
can
come
and
testify
at
the
public
hearing
or
give
public
comment
or
write
into
the
council
as
things
development.
Thank
you.
Mr.
A
L
And
appreciate
that
I
know
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
communications,
a
lot
of
people
in
neighborhoods
coming
forward
and
the
host
groups
as
well.
Looking
at
the
weather
for
encampment
host
feedbacks
on
hey,
I,
think,
you're,
interesting
and
I
think
everybody's
agreeing
the
consent
decree
in
2030.
You
need
to
be
looked
at
in
their
outdated
and
there's
different
factors.
In
fact,
that's
one
of
the
things
I
think
is
the
biggest
issue
in
this
whole
piece
is:
what
is
the
really
what's
the
relevance
and
ongoing
nature,
and
you
know
maybe
would.
L
We
say
obligation
but
rationale
for
continuation
of
these
type
of
shelters
and
how
does
it
fit
into
the
2019
2020
one
going
forward
landscape,
we
got
they've
started
great
purpose
and
they
still
have
a
purpose.
I
just
think
we
have
to
put
these
things
in
context
because
it's
not
these
aren't
isolated
they're,
not
the
same
as
as
our
temporary
location,
permanent
location
or
temporary
shelter
or
temporary
shelters.
We
have
from
the
city,
but
again
it's
taking
a
more
holistic.
L
Look
at
the
whole
issue
of
shelters
and
the
need
and
I
think
we
ought
to
take
that
into
account.
When
we
start
talking
about
affordable
housing
and
housing,
how
do
we
move
out
away
from
homelessness
and
what
is
the
role
and
could
the
role
be
better
for
these
temporary
shelters?
So
I
think
that
gives
us
an
opportunity
to
really
take
a
look
at
that
and
I.
L
You
know
looking
around
the
region
is
good.
I,
don't
know
that.
There's
a
conflict
in
a
sense
about
managing
consistently
throughout
the
region
and
and
having
they'll,
be
solutions,
I'm,
not
sure,
I'm,
not
sure,
there's
a
lot
of
difference
there,
but
we
need
to
look
at
those
kind
of
things
of
what's
important.
We
will
and
again
I
think
what
set
out,
but
both
the
neighborhood
group
feedback
and
the
host
are
pretty
good
guidelines.
L
A
M
M
So
from
what
I
can
see,
we've
done
the
work
of
looking
back
and
really
trying
to
understand
the
history,
and
then
we
have
the
four
areas
for
moving
forward.
I
guess
a
couple
things
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
was
clear
on
is
we
have
the
consent
decree
and
that
and
then
you
said
that
in
2010,
that
was
also
an
RCW.
That
governed
tent
encampments.
Is
that
right,
that's
correct
and
was
any
of
that
taken
into
our
the
way
that
we
permitted
the
tent
encampments
after
2010?
M
I
M
And
then
I
want
to
make
sure
that
I
understood
you
talked
about
that.
This
is
really
around
the
federal
and
state
expression
for
the
faith
community
and
did
I
hear
you
say
that
this
is
intended
to
to
define
what
part,
how
much
we
can
regulate
the
religious
expression
as
well
as
and
I
thought
I
heard.
You
say
the
least
restrictive
means
for
the
city
to
exercise
our
interests
is
that
the
bar
that.
I
M
Some
a
lot
of
this
stuff
is
somewhat
interpretive
about
what
does
the
least
rich
stress
restrictive
and
what
you
know
public
interests.
And
how
do
we
balance
all
of
that,
because
this
is
one
that
it
is.
It
is
about
how
we
comply
with
the
law
and
not
necessarily
something
that
the
city
is
stepping
forward
and
and
choosing
to
do
on
our
own.
Is
that
right
it
correct.
N
You
Mia,
like
Mia's
mother,
mentioned
that
there
was
a
tough
issue.
You
know.
I
was
caught
near
to
the
console
when
we
did
in
2005
and
I
think
we
are
very
fortunate.
I
want
to
thank
this
legit
religious
organizations,
the
churches
that
are
waiting
to
house
Kansas,
City
homeless
folks,
and
we
went
to
think
the
operators
I
think
they've
done
a
great
job
to
run
it.
You
know
in
a
way
that
we
haven't
really
had
a
lot
of
problems
and
obviously
one
thing
the
neighbors
were
willing
to
work
with.
N
You
know
the
homeless,
tensity
and
so
whether
we
like
it
or
not,
we
want
to
do
it
or
not.
I
think
even
whether
it's
the
right
thing
to
do
or
not,
I
think
it's
the
right
thing
to
do.
I
agree
with
everybody.
We
probably
don't
have
a
choice
anyway,
because
the
consent
decree
has
to
have
the
agreement
of
the
hosts
in
hey,
don't
go
along
with
it.
We're
not
gonna
have
a
extent
we're
not
gonna,
it
doesn't
make
sense.
You
know
have
to
legal
law
to
court
to
force
people
to
do
it,
and
it's
not.
N
N
We'll
continue
to
work
with
good
hosts
and
we
are
the
only
they
don't
one
thing:
that's
really
improved
on
I
believe
it's
the
neighborhood
outreach
really
working
with
them,
because
when
we
define
our
Luca,
you
know
that
will
include
that
outreach
piece,
public
input
and
I
will
fight
from
you
know
some
people
already
saying
that
they
will
not
maybe
a
little
bit.
You
know
it.
You
cannot
do
everything
perfectly.
You
know
this
always
a
time
like
and
whatnot,
but
I
think
we're
making
the
effort
and
I
we
can
do
as
best.
We
can.
N
You
know
to
make
it
work
for
everyone,
and
so
I
think
this,
based
on
our
experience
based
on
the
people
who
are
working
with
us
and
I,
think
consumers
and
ask
good
questions.
We
need
to
figure
out
how
other
cities
do
what
I
think
our
cwo
has
been
acted.
How
does
that
affect
our
new
local
requirements?
In
all
these
part
of
the
consideration,
so
I
am
confident.
I
hope
that
I
believe
when
we're
done
with
this.
N
This
would
be
something
that
we
can
rely
on
really
Custis
when
they
reliably,
and
somebody
mentions
streamlined
all
that
stuff,
so
it
would
be,
would
be
more
reliable,
better
thing
for
everybody
without
having
to
worry
G
every
so
often.
What
do
we
do?
How
do
we
do
it,
and
even
it's
in
the
Luca
Luca
can
be
really
wise
to
anyway
right
over
time.
If
we
hear
things
that
would
be
improved
on
so
I
think
it's
a
good
thing
good.
So
thank
you
for
bringing
it
up
working
on
it
and
thank.
E
You
Vera
and
thank
you
Mike
Tony
and
Cindy
tonight
for
great
presentation,
I'm,
also
in
favor
of
moving
this
forward.
Any
customer
Robinson
certainly
brought
up
a
good
point
about
the
new
case
law.
We
certainly
want
to
review
that
and
review
the
region
in
favor
of
as
well.
Although
how
many
10
cabinets
are
there
in
the
region?
Do
we
have
a
sense
of
that
and
and
and
how
many
examples
we
might
be
looking
at
or
I
do.
E
E
E
So
they
might
not
have
currently
a
tenant
counter,
but
they
do
have
regulations
okay.
So
it's
still
worth
looking
yeah
at
that.
Okay,
great.
Some
of
your
recommendations,
the
permit
process
and
for
that
to
be
streamlined.
I
I
might
argue
that
I
can
appreciate
that.
But
if,
if
possible,
legally
I
would
look
at
streamlining
the
permit
process
only
for
those
operators
and
I
understand
they
have
a
very
difficult
job
and
they
do
a
lot
of
good
work.
E
But
I
would
only
streamline
it
for
operators
that
have
a
consistent
track
record
of
working
well
with
that
community.
So,
when
community
members
are
being
are
being
heard,
adjustments
are
being
made
for
that
neighborhood
or
for
that
community
based
on
issues
that
they
bring
forward.
There's
a
way
that
we
can
track
that
that
I'm
perfectly
fine
with
per
streamline
the
permit
for
it
for
those
operators
and
then
I
had
a
question
regarding
the
alignment
of
health
standards
to
the
consent
degree.
So
is
that
to
say
that
that
alignment
wasn't
happening
previously
so.
J
E
J
So,
each
time,
because
the
consent
decree
set
the
standard
of
what
those
interpretations
are,
so
if
tent
city
has
one
showerhead
within
the
consent
decree,
it
says
that
that
is
possible
with
a
hardship
request.
So
that's
the
point
of
a
potential
Luca
would
be
that
they
would
be
able
to
do
those
things
aligned
accordingly,
without
a
hardship
request.
Gotcha.
E
And
last
comment
is
for
me:
the
public
engagement,
it's
not
enough
for
me
just
because
adding
the
hot
topics
I
mean
there's
just
too
many
residents
that
are
not
going
to
be
going
to
to
that
particular
page.
You
know
they're
only
gonna
go
there
after
so
there's
an
issue,
that's
directly
affecting
them,
where
a
neighbor
tells
them
it's
now.
E
But
again
we're
asking
the
public
to
come
to
us
I
feel
like
we
need
to
go
to
them
a
little
bit
more,
so
that
we
can
better
inform
them
and
give
them
an
opportunity
to
bring
forward
their
thoughts
and
concerns
and
support
of
this
as
well.
It's
not
necessarily
all
negative
but
again
I'd
like
to
see
them
just
a
little
bit
more
robust
of
that
that
Public
Engagement
plan
as
well
Thank.
O
I
Well,
generally
speaking,
the
there
are
the
federal
and
the
state
constitution,
so
I
can
speak
to
the
broad
framework
and
then
follow
up
with
specific
questions
later.
If
there
are
additional
questions,
but
the
federal
and
state
constitutions
prohibit
us
from
substantially
burdening
religious
exercise,
and
that
is
a
similar
prohibition
in
the
our
lupa
federal
regulation.
I
And
as
a
result
of
that,
we
have
limitations
on
the
extent
to
which
we
can
impede
the
religious
hosts
ability
to
exercise
their
religion
by
hosting
the
temporary
encampments
and
and
that's
what
the
subject
of
the
litigation
was.
That
was
settled
via
the
federal
consent
decree,
and
so
that
is
what
we
have
as
a
model
for
moving
forward
I'm
in
order
to
stay
aligned
with
the
legal
framework
that
applies
and.
O
I
O
Support
moving
forward.
I
do
have
one
question
on
the
timeline,
so
I
see
that
you
have
in
this
East
Bellevue
Community
Council
hearing,
and
then
you
have
East
Bellevue
Community
Council
adoption
on
January
7.
Now
this
is
a
group
that
voted
to
never
have
a
homeless
shelter
within
their
boundary,
so
I'm
curious
as
to
how
that's
going
to
go
down
and
if
they
don't
adopt
it.
What
will
happen.
A
Tonight
can
I
just
talk
about
the
premise
of
your
question:
cuz
I,
don't
think
their
premise
was
accurate.
They
did
not
vote
to
never
have
one.
They
voted
to
not
apply
our
new
ordinance,
but
the
old
ordinance
of
a
of
a
seat
of
a
conditional
use
permit
still
exists
on
any
property
within
their
boundaries,
so
they
would
go
through
a
conditional
use
permit
without
the
added
benefits
that
are
I.
Consider
added
benefits
that
are
in.
H
A
A
A
Can
you
explain
the
difference
between
a
tent
city
3,
a
ten-city
through
4
and
a
camp
unity
and
the
encampments
that
we
might
see
traveling
into
Seattle
along
Interstate,
90
or
the
encampments
that
we
might
see
that
are
located
on
a
City
of
Seattle
property
of
like
10
city,
3
or
other
encampments
in
Seattle?
There's
sort
of
that
there
are
some
guidelines
around
these
types
of
encampments,
so.
I
From
a
legal
point
of
view,
the
Inc
temporary
encampments
that
we're
talking
about
this
evening
are
permitted
so
they're
permitted
by
the
City
of
Bellevue
they're
permitted
by
other
cities,
and
they
are
hosted
in
places
based
on
a
rigorous
application
process
such
as
the
one
that
we
have
both
under
the
code
and
the
consent
decree.
The
encampments
that
you
may
see
you
know,
driving
along
the
highway
or
out
in
public
generally,
are
unlawful,
encampments,
their
encampments
individuals
just
decide
to
camp
because
they
are
homeless.
I
There's
really
no
regulation
over
the
health
and
safety
standards.
There's
no
regulation
over
how
many
residents
can
live
there
or
any
of
the
other
types
of
regulations
that
we
impose
on
the
permitting
process
during
the
permitting
process.
So
that's
kind
of
a
legal
overview
and,
as
I
understand
it
from
Tony.
The
various
tent
cities
have
slightly
different
but
largely
similar
operational
codes
of
conduct
and
standards
that
also
apply
to
the
residents
of
temporary
encampments
that
are
permitted,
but
do
not
necessarily
apply
to
residents
of
encampments
that
are
along
the
highway
or
in
other
public
places.
I
A
The
temporary
and
there's
the
TCC
tent
city
for
and
Camp
unity
are
the
two
I
think
that
operate
outside
of
Seattle
and
they're.
They
follow
a
pretty
wide
swath
outside
of
Seattle.
They
have
provisions
dealing
with
certain
levels
of
warrant
checks
on
individuals.
Could
you
explain
that
and
what
the
difference
is
between
the
two
so.
J
The
difference
between
community
and
tc4
is
the
level
warrant
check,
at
least
at
the
time
in
2012,
when
first
United
Methodist
Church
hosted
them
they
committed
to
having
warrant
checks
every
week.
This
is
very
different
than
how
tent
city
4
operates.
If
you
are
a
resident
and
you
become
a
part
of
the
encampment,
you
get
screened
when
you
arrive,
and
then
you
don't
have
any
requirement
for
screening
afterwards.
So
that
is
the
tacit
difference
between
the
two
encampments.
A
What
is
the
status
on
these
types
of
encampments,
allowing
for
service
agencies
to
come
in
and
work
with
the
homeless
I.
Just
remember
when
this
first
began
that
TC
4
was
not
allowing
agencies
to
come
in
and
and
attempt
to
help
people
and
I
understand.
Now
there
has
been
some
movement,
at
least
at
camp
unity,
also.
J
J
There
were
barriers
between
residents
and
the
encampment
host,
so
we
figured
that
out
and
made
requirements
and
changed
how
we
built
and
looked
at
the
staff
report
and
BPD
and
myself
made
conditions
so
that
the
person
a
resident
who
wanted
to
get
go
to
get
services
would
not
be
penalized
by
the
can't
the
operator
for
like
missing
duties
or
different
things
like
that,
because
if
they
miss
those
things
and
they
would
be
thrown
out
of
the
encampment
and
most
people
didn't
want
that.
So
then
they
weren't
going
to
get
their
services.
J
A
A
It
sort
of
devolved
to
me
back
in
2004
and
2005
to
work
on
this
very
heavily
as
a
council
member,
so
I've
got
a
lot
of
experience
with
this,
the
so
I
guess
what
I
would
say
is
this
I've
used
up
enough
of
my
time
here,
but
I
would
say
the
changes.
I
do
have
one
more
okay,
I'm,
sorry,
because
I
think
it
really
is
important
and
if
you
can't
speak
to
it
or
don't
remember,
I
will.
A
A
So
we
were
sued
as
a
land
use
matter
in
state
court.
We
petitioned
to
take
it
to
federal
court
because
we
believed
our
case
was
stronger
in
federal
court
dealing
with
our
loop.
So
then
people
may
not
want
to
remember
some
people
may
not
like
hearing
that.
That's
why
a
lot
of
times
we've
been
criticized
as
having
sued
religious
organizations
they
essentially
sued
us.
A
We
just
picked
the
site
where
the
suit
was
going
to
be
I,
think
that
was
a
very
smart
move
on
the
on
the
city's
part
and
I
think
it
ended
up
with
actively
a
ordinance
that
people
were
able
to
work
with,
and
in
fact
now
there
is
not
as
much
interest
in
hosting
tent
cities
on
the
part
of
religious
organizations.
So
what
I
would
say
is
my
thought
on.
It
is
to
be
surgical
on
the
changes.
Let's
go
in
and
see.
What
is
you
know?
A
What
is
working
there
are
elements
of
this
that
are
working,
I
mean
I'm
not
too
far
from
United
Methodist,
and
it
surprised
me
that
they
had
held
one
as
late
as
it
was
so
I
mean
that
that
was
kind
of
a
surprise
to
me.
So
in
some
ways
there
the
visibility
is
is
lower.
The
visibility
with
the
temple,
with
the
number
of
times
they've
held
with
the
residents
in
miss
Morris's
neighborhood
I
mean
that's
been
five
times
that
they've
been
there
and,
and
that
is
in
my
mind,
a
burden
on
any
one
neighborhood.
A
That
was
always
the
concern
that
the
city
had
and
I
think
it's
a
legitimate
concern
that
a
temporary
you
is
used.
So
often
it
becomes
a
essentially
a
permanent
use.
So
I
really
would
like
to
see
us
see
us.
Look
at
that.
I
I
know
I
I,
guess
actually
the
religious
side
and
the
neighborhood
side
disagree
me
disagree
with
me
when
I
say
I
thought
this
was
the
best
ordinance
that
was
adopted
at
the
time
relating
to
tent
city
and
the
reason
I
know
that
is
the
religious
side,
and
the
neighborhood
side
disagree
with
me.
A
So
I
think
that
there
is
some
surgical
use
here,
but
I
just
want
to
make
it
clear
that
this
is
not
an
endorsement
by
the
City
Council
that
this
should
happen
on
public
property.
This
is
really
an
issue
of
allowing
for
the
expression
of
religion
in
in
a
way
that
is
governed
by
a
regulation
that
allows
for
that
expression
of
religion,
but
keeps
our
neighborhoods
safe.
Make
sure
the
people
who
are
part
of
that
encampment
are
safe,
make
sure
the
people
who
are
doing
that
ministry
to
them
are
also
safe
and
I.
A
Think
that's
what
that's.
What
we
need
to
focus
on
here
and
I've
always
opposed
having
encampments
like
this
anywhere,
but
this
is
something
that
we
have
to
do
for
the
freedom
of
religious
expression,
not
everybody
on
the
council
at
the
time
agreed
with
that
statement,
but
and
probably
don't
today,
but
that's
from
my
standpoint.
It's
a
very
surgical.
Look
at
this
I
would
agree
to
have
you
know
to
get
as
much
public
comment,
but
I
will
say.
A
The
reality
is
there's
very
few
places
in
the
city
where
it
would
be
hosted
and
there
are
other
great
ways
to
show
your
ministry
and
your
commitment
to
your
religion
than
by
hosting
a
tent
city.
I
will
ended
that
any
other
questions
I
took
up
an
awful
lot
of
time,
and
so
I
really
do
feel
the
need
to
allow
anybody
else
if
they
want
to
great
comments,
I
think
from
council.
Thank
you,
I
think
you,
you
all
are
understanding
the
the
issue
here.
So
I
appreciate
it.
Thank
you,
okay.
Oh
wait.
A
A
Okay,
so
it's
been
moved
in
a
second
to
John.
You
raised
your
handed
but
then
said
that
you
seconded
it.
You
didn't,
have
a
question
about
separate,
okay,
okay,
so
move
moved
and
seconded
any
discussion
of
the
motion.
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
opposed
motion
carries.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
can't
thank
you
sit
a
good
explanation
as
well.
A
G
I
would
pretty
much
said
it
all
we're
here
to
get
a
report
out
on
the
second
quarter
as
you
as
you
mentioned,
and
I'm
gonna
just
go
ahead:
eternal
dead,
Jessie
kanuda,
our
chief
economic
development
officer
as
well
as
he
all
let
him
introduce
a
staff
person
I
would
say:
there's
no
ask
of
accounts
at
night.
This
is
an
information
only
a
shared
item.
Yes
correct.
P
Thank
you,
city
manager,
Miyake,
Thank,
You
members
of
council
for
making
time
for
us
this
evening
for
a
quarter
to
update
to
you
just
to
front-load.
Tonight's
presentation
is,
as
the
city
manager
mentioned,
for
information
only
we're
not
seeking
any
direction.
Tonight.
I
mentioned
that,
because
the
last
time
we
were
here
with
council
back
in
July,
we
discussed
updates
to
the
economic
development
plan.
Tonight's
discussion
is
on
the
existing
economic
development
plan
approved
in
2014,
and
with
that
I
would
like
to
give
my
give
a
couple
of
minutes
for
my
new
coworker
to
introduce
yourself.
P
Q
You
Jesse
mayor
deputy
mayor
members
of
council
I'm
just
thrilled
to
be
involved
in
beautiful
Bellevue
I,
do
come
with
over
15
years
of
marketing
economic
development
and
project
management.
Experience
I'm
excited
to
present
to
you
tonight,
so
tonight's
agenda
will
be
an
update
on
efforts
and
business
recruitment,
business
retention,
small
business
assistance
partnerships
as
well
as
will
touch
on
upcoming
economic
development
items
that
will
bring
to
you
and.
P
For
tonight,
Philly
and
I
will
be
tag-teaming,
as
she
just
started
a
couple
of
weeks
ago,
so
she's
not
fully
versed
in
all
of
the
all
the
great
stuff
that
happened
back
in
quarter.
Two
reminder:
we
are
talking
about
the
IDI
plan
approved
by
council
in
2014,
which
includes
a
couple
of
key
items
so
on
the
recruitment
side
of
of
our
work.
This
year,
we've
met
with
24
firms
that
are
interested
in
opening
offices
or
investing
in
Bellevue.
P
We
have
done
a
variety
of
trade
shows
and
other
engagements
to
build
those
leads
and
prospects
I'm,
one
of
which
is
our
annual
trip
to
select
u.s.a,
which
is
the
annual
trade
show
put
on
by
the
US
Department
of
Commerce
every
June
and
DC.
It's
the
largest
convening
of
international
companies
that
are
interested
in
investing
in
the
u.s..
P
We
met
with
a
variety
of
firms
ranging
from
a
personal
security,
app
startup
out
of
Australia
to
an
Ag
tech
company
out
of
the
Middle
East
to
a
Chilean
survey
platform,
all
of
which
were
interested
in
opening
offices
on
the
west
coast
of
the
US
and
we're
all
very
impressed
by
the
extry.
The
wonderful
talent
pool
that
we
have
here
in
the
Seattle
region.
P
We
also
worked
with
GSP
and
the
state
Washington
State
Department
of
Commerce
teams
to
help
sell
this
data
at
large,
so
whether
it
was
providing
some
additional
information
during
a
meeting
or
handing
off
a
lead
that
was
not
a
fit
for
Bellevue,
but
might
have
benefit
for
another
city
in
the
Seattle
region
or
for
a
city
in
eastern
Washington.
We
worked
very
closely
with
the
state
and
greater
Seattle
partners
to
make
sure
we're.
Selling
Washington
State
at
large
also
attended
a
new
sis.
P
But
it's
hopefully
the
first
of
a
larger
investment
from
them
down
the
road
they're
active
in
13
different
markets
across
the
across
the
globe
and
have
chosen
the
Seattle
market
as
their
entry
point
for
the
US.
So
we're
very
happy
to
welcome
the
company,
which
is,
why
is
easy
and
they
will
be
opening
up
in
downtown
Bellevue.
Q
Business
retention
and
expansion,
one
thing
we'll
be
bringing
on
to
the
September
23rd
council
meeting-
is
the
results
of
the
third
biannual
Business
Survey.
We
are
finalizing
those
results
from
that
survey
conducted
by
Northwest
Research
and
we
are
happy
to
see
that
Bellevue
continues
to
receive
high
ratings
from
businesses
and
all
of
its
key
metrics.
P
Also
on
the
business
retention
and
expansion
front,
we've
been
with
a
variety
of
companies
here
in
Bellevue
in
the
second
quarter,
a
couple
of
quick
highlights
from
those
meetings,
one
of
which
was
Tara
clear.
It's
a
Bellevue
based
AG
tech,
agricultural
technology
company.
It
was
one
that
I
did
not
expect
to
find
doing
business
here
in
Bellevue,
but
they
are
building
both
in
autonomous
autonomous
hardware,
as
well
as
artificial
intelligence
software
that
helps
to
solve
the
age-old
problem
of
very
large
rocks
and
farms
that
could
break
very
expensive
equipment.
P
So
they're
doing
a
lot
of
the
AI
work
and
the
bell
red
neighborhood
and
then
the
actual
hardware
is
being
tested
out
in
the
farms
in
Idaho.
It's
a
wonderful
company
again
AG
Tech
was
not
what
I
expected
and
build
you,
but
it
shows
the
the
breadth
of
what
can
be
done
here
in
the
city
another's
company.
P
Also
in
the
bell
red
area-
and
one
of
the
highlight
tonight
is
the
Don
Bennett
drum
studios
there,
a
drum
shop,
retail
center
and
a
school
also
in
the
bell
red
area
and
I
bring
them
up
because
they
are
a
an
example
of
companies
in
Bell
red
that
are
doing
a
bit
of
struggling
with
all
the
construction.
That's
happening
in
the
neighborhood.
Now,
as
you
can
imagine,
with
both
light.
P
Rail
and
road
construction
they've
had
some
challenges
getting
kinds
of
customers
to
their
business,
but
we
worked
very
closely
with
Sound
Transit,
as
well
as
our
small
business
advisor
to
make
sure
that
they
got
connected
to
resources
that
could
help
them
with
marketing
and
promotion
and
also
with
transit,
to
make
sure
that
we
could
provide
signage
that
the
construction
workers
who
are
out
there
we're
directing
people
into
the
parking
lot,
as
opposed
to
talking
that
they
couldn't
turn
in
and
we're.
Hopefully,
the
studio
will
be
doing
much
better
once
and
have
many
more
customers.
P
Once
construction
wraps
up
I
bring
that
company
up
specifically
to
note
that
we
will
likely
hear
more
from
businesses
in
the
bell
red
area
as
construction
ramps
opt
on
one
hundred
and
twenty.
Fourth,
one
hundred
and
thirty
second
continues
to
be
closed
for
lying
about
construction,
and
a
couple
of
other
roads
will
also
be
impacted
over
the
next
year.
So
we
are
keeping
our
eye
on
it
and
we
will
be
meeting
with
more
businesses
in
the
bell
red
area
to
make
sure
we're
understanding
what
the
challenges
are
in
the
neighborhood
through
the
construction
period.
P
On
the
small-business
front,
we
continue
to
work
with
our
partners
on
the
start
of
45
program
and
the
spring.
We
offered
our
foundations
program
across
the
five
partner
cities,
which
had
more
than
900
participants,
which
is
I,
think
the
record
for
the
program
of
those
about
a
hunt
about
300
or
1/3
of
the
participants
were
in
Bellevue.
So
there
continues
to
be
a
strong
demand
for
those
foundational
courses
on
entrepreneurship.
Here
in
the
city.
The
charts
on
the
right
side
of
the
slide
reflects
the
diversity
justice
statistics
from
the
spring.
P
We
continued
to
do
well
with
over
50
percent
of
the
participants
identifying
as
female
and
over
50
percent,
identifying
as
persons
of
color.
So
we're
very
proud
that
the
statistics
of
the
participants
match
the
broader
statistics
of
the
East
Side
and
those
statistics
are
all
done.
Organically
we've
not
done
any
direct
marketing
or
engagement.
P
So
we've
found
a
very
strong
audience
for
this
particular
program
in
our
diverse
communities
and
II,
say
also
on
the
startup
4
to
5
note,
we
did
bring
together
a
small
advisory
group
to
help
the
partners
with
identifying
opportunities
to
improve
starter
4
to
5.
As
well
as
ways
to
grow
the
resources
that
we're
providing
and
education
we're
providing
to
the
community
that
work
is
currently
underway
and
we're
hoping
to
have
it
wrapped
up
in
q4
of
this
year,
we'll
bring
back
any
recommendations
that
come
out
of
that
work
to
the
council
for
consideration.
P
Another
note
on
the
small
business
side
is
in
the
second
quarter.
We
were
able
to
rehire
our
small
business
advisors,
so
the
Small
Business
Development
Center
is
a
nationwide
program,
part
of
the
Small
Business
Administration,
and
we
have
one
advisor
on
the
east
side.
That's
hired
in
partnership
with
Redmond,
and
so
that
position
had
been
vacant
for
a
few
months
after
the
prior
advisor
had
chosen
to
take
a
position
with
a
startup
company,
so
we
hired
Karthik
Sain
in
March
and
he's
been
working
diligently
to
meet
the
small
business
community
on
the
east
side.
P
So
we're
he's
still
building
up
his
record
of
success,
but
we
did
have
just
a
few
weeks
ago
and
know
from
him
that
he
was
able
to
help
a
small
business
secure,
a
1.4
million
dollar
capital
loan
to
help
them
grow
their
business.
So
there's
a
star
and
a
strict
on
that
number,
because
it's
officially
part
of
q3.
So
it's
not
in
the
chart,
that's
on
the
screen,
but
we
did
think
it
was
a
really
good
success.
P
P
We
have
also
been
working
with
several
partners
on
a
plan
application
to
the
state
for
an
innovation
partnership
zone
designation
that
would
help
cement
Bellevue
as
a
hub
for
5g
in
telecommunications
innovation,
so
that
application
is
currently
with
the
state.
It
has
been
reported
on
several
times
in
the
business
journal,
because
it's
a
very
exciting
piece
of
news:
there's
not
a
lot
to
report
back
to
the
council,
yet
as
we're
still
working
with
the
part
on
the
business
plan
and
the
specific
tactics
of
the
partnership.
Q
There's
some
exciting
items,
so
we
look
forward
to
bringing
more
over
the
next
couple
of
quarters
again
we'll
bring
the
results
of
the
Business
Survey
to
you
on
September
23rd,
and
the
data
from
that
survey
will
help
inform
the
economic
development
plan,
and
this
plan
will
examine
Bellevue's
economic
landscape,
collect
feedback
from
internal
and
external
stakeholders
and
create
strategies
for
continuing
intentional
growth
within
the
City
of
Bellevue.
The
plan
will
focus
on
strategies
to
foster
small
business
and
entrepreneurship.
Retail.
M
M
Thanks
well,
I'm
really
excited
about
this
because
to
me
the
fact
that
you
were
talking
about
both
global
and
local
means
that
that's
kind
of
the
bookend
of
the
pieces
that
we're
trying
to
do
and
as
I
was
thinking
about
the
questions
that
I
had
about
you
know
how
else
can
we
help
what
do
they
need?
Then
your
presentation
rolled
right
into
that
from
the
standpoint
of
starting
up
that
Advisory
Committee
to
really
look
at
how
we
can
improve,
because
ultimately,
we
are
supporting
from
the
lens
of
those
businesses
that
we're
trying
to
help.
M
I
did
have
a
question,
though,
and
that
is
when
I
look
at
our
action
plan
and
and
kind
of
our
scorecard.
What
I'm
wondering
is:
is
there
a
way
for
us
to
to
calculate
the
revenue
impact
for
the
cost
that
we're
spending
in
this
effort?
So
one
of
the
slides
you
had
talked
about
the
fact
that
they
were
able
to
get
a
1.4
million.
You
know
capital
to
do
some
things
so
I'm,
not
sure
exactly.
M
You
know
how
best
to
do
that,
but
I
think
that
it's
always
important
for
us
to
see
that
when
we
spend
money,
what
is
it
that
we're
actually
getting
from
the
standpoint
of
that
overall
impact
to
our
community
and
then
from
the
standpoint
of
the
construction
impacts
in
Bell,
read
I
guess
what
I'm
wondering
is
are:
is
that
something
that
we're
also
keeping
an
eye
on?
Because
construction
can
be
really
impactful,
people
can't
quite
find
the
business
and
then
they
think
well,
maybe
I'll
go
somewhere
else
for
now.
M
P
Wonderful
questions,
Thank
You,
council
members
on
so
on
the
scorecard.
We
can
take
a
look
and
see
what
options
there
are
for
calculating
the
revenue
impacts
based
on
our
work
with
the
companies,
we'll
definitely
see
what
we
can
find
as
far
as
bail
read
and
what
the
work
we
do
once
we
identify,
a
company
has
been
impacted.
We
bring
in
the
small
business
advisor
party
as
well
as
contacts
on
transit
very
often,
depending
on
what
the
particular
needs
of
the
company
are.
M
P
M
Oh,
that's
great
I
really
like
that
and
then
lastly,
I'm
excited
about
going
after
that.
The
state
for
the
innovation
partnership
zone
and
I'm,
assuming
we're
gonna,
get
some
kind
of
a
briefing
about
5g
implementation.
Cuz
I
know:
we've
had
those
policies
in
place
and
we're
not
quite
there
yet
in
terms
of
actually
having
anything
installed,
but
I
think
understanding
that
timing
will
be
important
too.
On.
P
P
A
A
E
E
From
this
going
forward
to
Jesse
I'd
love
to
know
a
little
bit
more
about
our
strategy
when
we
go
to
some
of
these
events
in
terms
of
what
are
what
are
our
goals
when
we
go
and
then
what
are
some
of
the
key
learnings
and
key
takeaways,
we
seem
to
focus
a
lot
and
it's
good
to
know.
You
met
with
various
companies.
But
what
are
the
specific
takeaways
that
you
know
that
we
learn
from
that
as
it
relates
to
Bellevue?
What
are
we
doing
right?
What
are
we
doing
wrong?
What
can
we
improve
on?
E
Back
in
1950s,
I
mean
it's,
it's
it's
amazing
and
that
we
have
a
capital
firm
here.
That
specific
is
an
agricultural
investment.
It's
just
fantastic
I
just
want
to
point
that
out
and
I'm
glad
you're
reaching
out
to
those
types
of
early-stage
technology.
Companies
like
that
now
on
the
startup
four
to
five
foundations.
Are
we
and
I
wasn't
sure
if
council
Morazan
touched
on
this,
but
are
we
tracking?
P
We
do
so,
we
have
on
an
annual
basis,
and
the
program
is
still
young,
so
I
think
we
only
have
one
four
years
worth
of
data
sure,
but
we
do
track
the
number
of
participants
who
go
on
to
get
advice,
er
we're
a
mentor
to
help
them
build
out.
Their
business
plan
actually
start
up
the
business
yeah
and
we
do
reach
out
to
them
as
well
to
survey
whether
they've
actually
taken
a
step
of
filing
for
business
license
and
starting
the
business.
P
E
E
That's
good
looking
for,
thank
you
and
then
again,
I
wasn't
sure
if
customers
are
meant
to
touch
on
this,
but
the
such
a
major
announcement.
The
fact
that
this
5g
zone
between
the
City
of
Bellevue,
the
state
of
Washington
or
the
University
of
Washington
and
the
City
of
Bellevue
it
is
such
an
incredible
opportunity
for
the
City
of
Bellevue,
including
one
of
our
largest
employers.
E
I
know
this
is
outside
of
your
realm,
but
I
think
we
need
to
keep
the
other
metal
there,
and
and
and
continue
with
that
and
and
make
sure
that
we
I
think
we've
stalled
a
little
bit
on
the
on
the
design
criteria
for
the
polls
and
we
really
need
to
get
that
established,
because
my
understanding
is
that
the
carriers
are
starting
to
get
a
little
anxious.
Regarding
that,
you
know,
we've
got
such
incredible
plans
such
incredible
things
going
forward.
E
A
L
L
F
L
Yeah
no
I
think
it's
good
I,
think
you're
one
things
I
like
is
you
I,
think
gone
more
in
terms
of
things
that
council
members
knew
and
houses
asking
you
about.
It
is
a
little
more
quantification
of
what
we're
doing
all
those
things
and
that's
great
I
think
it
helps
us
on
that
and
I
do
want
to
say,
I.
Think
again,
I
want
to
read
this
over
more
carefully
because
you've
got
a
lot
of
material
in
here.
L
It's
really
good
to
be
able
to
see
all
these
really
things
put
out
here,
the
numbers
and
and
all
of
that
in
terms
of
what
you're
doing,
but
it
seems
that
the
2014
plan
basically
works
very
well
and
you're.
Just
building
on
that
and
I
do
think
that
I
want
to
emphasize
that
the
two
foundational
strategies
I
hope.
L
So
it's
it's
all
put
together
and
we
learned
that
and
a
lot
of
the
companies
are
already
here
now
when
they
talk
to
us
about
coming
here,
but
again,
emphasizing
the
arts
and
culture,
the
neighborhood
character,
the
quality
infrastructure,
Public
Safety.
All
these
factors
are
as
important
in
economic
development
as
again
the
tall
buildings
and
and
all
those
kind
of
things.
O
Welcome
and
knowing
how
much
we
collaborate
collaborate
with
our
economy,
economic
development
with
Kirkland
and
Redmond.
I
really
appreciate
that
you're
with
us
here,
and
your
experience
that
you've
already
had
working
with
us.
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
this
and
Jesse
I
want
to
tell
you
how
much
I
appreciate
the
support
that
you've
given
to
small
business
as
a
small
business
owner
myself.
I
appreciate
the
retention
work
that
you've
done,
and
also
the
support
that
you
give
small
business
during
this
awkward
phase
that
we're
going
through
with
all
the
road
construction.
A
You
comes
member
Lee.
Did
you
have
anything
for
this
decipi
find
in
councilmember,
Robertson,
I.
Think
good.
Just
again,
welcome
aboard
keep
up
the
great
work.
I
do
want
to
say,
I
appreciate
looking
into
the
issues
related
to
Belgrad
there
and
we
may
want
to
get
mr.
city
manager,
just
maybe
from
a
transportation
standpoint
a
update
on
the
roads
that
are
open
the
roads
that
are
closed.
A
This
is
the
time
of
year
when
I
go
through
there,
a
lot,
because
it's
my
path
to
Bellevue,
Muni
and
so
always
take
a
look
at
what's
going
on
there
and
I
did
notice
and
saw
the
hundred
and
twenty
fourth
closure.
That's
fairly
significant
to
a
lot
of
very
large
companies
and
some
that
and
the
construction
that's
going
on
in
the
to
the
spring
district
and
also
I
want
to
say
it's
a
that's
coming
up
on
20th
and
these
are
significant
closures
there.
A
You
know
for
months
at
a
time,
so
maybe
we
could
get
just
in
the
managers
report.
Maybe
we
could
get
an
update
and
I
know.
It's
really
been.
There's
been
great
work
done
by
the
whole
team
at
making
sure
people
know
those
businesses
are
open,
so
really
appreciate
that
that's
just
another
aspect
of
economic
development
and
it's
handled
by
up
you
know
a
multi-faceted
team
here
at
the
city.
So
again,
thank
you
for
the
update.
Is
there
any
further
business
to
come
before
the
City
Council
tonight?
Seeing
none
you're
adjourn.
