Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
C
D
B
A
So
we
have
some
sad
news.
Today.
We
lost
a
real
icon
in
our
community
over
the
weekend,
former
council
member
and
mayor
bellevue,
dr
don
davidson,
and
I
know
our
people
are
going
to
attend
and
appreciate
the
devoted
service
that
he
to
our
community
for
so
many
years.
A
And
so
I
have
written
I'm
going
to
read
a
commendation
and
I'm
going
to
give
the
council
member
an
opportunity
to
speak.
Many
of
you
serve
with
dr
don
and
so
maybe
an
opportunity
to
speak
commendation,
whereas
don
davidson,
who
served
27
years
on
this
council
between
1983
and
2014,
including
two
terms
as
mayor
passed
away
last
week,
and
whereas
a
long
time,
dentist
and
small
type,
small
business
owner
finally
known
as
dr
duck
or
simply
d
davidson
consistently
advocated
for
balanced
budgets
and
restrained
city
spending.
A
And
whereas
when
the
council
is
considering
how
best
to
manage
growth
in
the
80s
and
90s
davidson
supported
participation
from
residents
and
businesses
in
a
process
that
led
to
bellevue
building
up
downtown
and
preserving
residential
neighborhoods.
And
whereas
davidson
was
a
dedicated
advocate
for
high
quality
water
and
supported
the
formation
of
the
cascade
waterless.
A
In
the
1980s
and
was
a
leader
on
its
board
and
whereas
a
passionate
environmentalist
davidson
grew
up
fishing
and
canoeing
and
pushed
for
salmon
recovery
while
on
account,
while
a
council
relative
on
regional
boards
and
whereas
a
resident
for
over
50
years
davidson
raised
three
children
in
the
community
he
loved
observing
in
his
council.
Farewell
bellevue
is
a
great
city
with
wonderful
and
involved
residents,
whereas
davidson
showed
a
tireless
on
the
city's
behalf
for
supporting
interests
and
issues
that
benefit
the
people
who
live,
work
and
visit.
Bellevue.
A
E
Or
yeah
I
served
with
dawn
for
four
years.
He
was
the
first
mayor
right
after
I
was
elected
and
you
know
there's
a
lot
to
say
about
don.
He
had
an
indelible
imprint
on
this
city,
a
story
that
many
people
may
not
have
heard
is-
and
if
you
mentioned
in
the
commendation
mayor
about
how
his
vision
for
the
growth
in
downtown
and
how
that
helps
set
the
city
on
that
trajectory.
E
And
it's
absolutely
true.
He
at
the
time
the
downtown
plan
was
happening.
There
was
a
split
among
the
council
between
pro
growth
and
anti-growth
factions,
and
he
believed
so
much
in
the
vision
for
bellevue
that
he
actually
jumped
seats
and
ran
against
an
anti-growth
colleague
and
won
the
seat,
and
that's
that's
what
finally
decided
the
direction
of
the
city.
So
that
was
a
pretty
bold
act
on
his
part
and
he
really
he
loved
the
city.
He
loved
the
people.
E
He
was
always
in
good
cheer
and,
as
you
mentioned,
he
was
absolutely
passionate
about
water
issues.
He
was
an
avid
fly
fisherman
and
even
after
he
left
the
council,
he
represented
fischer
fishing
on
the
wyra
board.
He
continued
to
be
involved
in
the
city.
He
at
the
time
of
his
death
was
on
the
east
side,
heritage
board,
eastside
heritage
center
board
of
directors
attending
meetings
from
hospice.
E
So
he
he
only
missed
one
meeting
right
before
he
died,
so
he
was
absolutely
involved
and
he
just
loved
this
city.
And
it's
you
know
he
always
had
a
good
word
to
say
about
people
and,
like
I
said
he
had
a
huge
heart
and
he
couldn't
have
done
it
without
his
family
and
his
wife
sue
they.
You
know
he
really.
It
was
very
apparent
to
everyone
that
knew
him.
How
much
his
two
great
loves.
E
Well,
three
great
loves
were
this
city
fishing
and
his
wife
number
one
first
of
all,
wife
and
family,
so
I'm
so
sorry
to
hear
of
his
passing,
but
I
absolutely
honor
his
long
and
distinguished
record
of
service
to
bellevue.
Thank
you.
Thank.
F
F
He
I
was
the
alternate
to
the
king
conservation
district
when
it
was
undergoing
its
kind
of
a
turmoil
and
reformation
after
a
lot
of
illegal
issues
and
everything,
and
we
had
big
meetings
with
different
groups
than
working
together
and
he
got
sick
during
that
time
period
and
very
quickly
and
he
was
at
the
meetings,
but
he
encouraged
me
to
be
involved
in.
F
In
fact,
very
graciously
asked
me
to
fill
in
the
seat,
and
so
I
became
involved
in
that
ended
up
being
a
chair
of
of
that
for
about
five
years
and
don
came
to
meetings
at
the
beginning
of
it.
But
he
was
always
there
and
we
talked
a
lot
about
things,
and
so
it
was.
It
was
really
gracious
on
his
part,
but
he
we
had
a
lot
of
good
conversations
about.
You
know
how
to
make
things
work,
so
I
appreciated
that.
F
The
other
thing
tied
in
again
with
fishing
is
that
also
been
involved
with
the
wire
eight
salmon
recovery
council
for
some
time
and
don
was
a
member
from
that.
First,
he
represented
saved
the
kings,
and
then
he
represented,
I
think,
actually,
the
washington
policy
center
the
last
year
or
so
don
always
came
to
the
meetings
even
and
I
was
on
it,
and
then
I've
been
sharing
that
meeting.
Also
and
so
again
don
was
was
one
who
would
come
forward
and
talk
about.
F
You
know
both
the
issues
that
were
dealing
with
the
financial
parts,
all
these
different
things
that
had
a
lot
of
good
advice,
but
the
main
thing
was:
he
always
wanted
to
make
sure
we
protected
the
fishies.
It
was
always
the
fishies
for
don
and
his
as
a
jennifer
said.
You
know
that
was
a
passion
of
his
and
I
really
learned
a
lot
from
him.
F
The
other
factor
that
you
have
to
give
him
credit
for
in
terms
of
the
future
and
ongoing
and
at
the
time
of
bellevue,
is
that
don
was
mayor
in
december
2011.
F
That
was
not
necessarily
what
he
would
have
done
in
the
you
know
by
himself,
but
don
was
don
was
very
forward-looking
in
terms
of
belting,
and
I
think
that
was
another
sign
of
his
ability
to
work
across
different
lines
and
different
viewpoints
and
come
to
a
very
good
decision.
So
we
have
lost
a
very
strong
citizen
and
former
colleague
and.
F
I
I
really
learned
a
lot
from
don
and
I'm
sorry
to
see
this
happen,
but
that's
live
and
he
he's
left
a
great
legacy.
Thank
you.
A
G
G
But
I
want
to
be
brief,
but
the
point
is
he
just
loves
the
city,
he
loves
bellevue,
he
loves
its
people
and
you
know
he
got
his
dentist
degree
from
unions,
washington
and
he
practiced
dentistry.
G
G
G
She
worked
along
with
him
and
supported
him
and
allows
him
to
be
so
engaged
and
involved
and
and
like
jennifer
robinson,
was
saying
that
you
know
split
council,
bellevue,
council.
It's
always
split,
that's
no
easy
job.
You
know
to
be
a
mayor
of
city
bellevue
and
to
make
things
happen
to
accomplish
things.
That's
not
the
easy
task,
that's
difficult!
G
That's
challenging,
but
you
know
it
takes
somebody
like
don
who
wants
everybody
to
like
him
and
but
he
stays
true
to
his
value,
to
what
he
believes
is
important,
that
you
know
as
his
contribution
to
make
bellevue
a
better
place,
make
a
place
better
for
everybody
for
the
future,
and
so
you
know
one
of
the
things
that
is
most
important.
G
People
sometimes
don't
know
about,
because
we
tend
to
see
things
in
physical,
concrete
things.
What
you
did
you
know
you
did
that
you
did,
that
you
built
a
building,
some
project
gets
happened,
and
but
the
one
thing
that
really
made
the
difference
is
when
a
couple
of
us
ron
smith
and
myself
got
elected
at
the
city
council
and
don,
we
were
able
to
get
down
the
majority
to
be
the
mayor
and
he
was
able
to
work
along
with
everybody
and
one
of
the
things
that's
most
important.
G
That
made
the
biggest
difference
is
fiscal
responsibility.
When
we
got
the
council,
we
changed
the
city's
proper
tax
responsibility
tax.
You
know
we
we,
you
know
we
actually
find
out.
We
have
to
tax
people
for
what
we
need
to
do,
not
just
text,
because
the
money
is
available
as
a
result,
the
he
he
was
very,
very
good,
and
I
think
that's
applies
to
most
of
us
on
the
council.
The
one
thing
that's
not
split
on
the
beltway
council
councillors
we're
all
very
much
as
financially
responsible.
G
We
know
the
you
know,
we
know
the
stewardship
of
fiscal
responsibility
and
he
during
his
leadership
we
got
together
with
georges
m
dyke,
don
davidson
myself
and
ron
smith.
We
were
able
to
not
collect
property
tax
for
the
next
10
years,
because
we
didn't
need
it.
We
have
lots
of
housing
economy
house,
the
tax
revenue
from
businesses
for
property
tax
increases
because
people
continue
to
come
to
bellevue
to
live
so
as
a
result.
G
We
didn't
need
it,
and
so,
as
result,
we
didn't
collect
it
and
that
has
become
the
model
of
the
whole
state
of
washington.
It
first
of
all
went
to
become
the
country's
way
of
collecting
tax.
They
put
the
limit
on
it
eventually
state
tax.
You
know
we
cannot
automatically
before
melbourne
changes.
Tax
structure
used
to
be
every
year.
G
Property
tax
goes
up,
6
automatically
amazing,
and
so
that
really
sets
a
real
good
model
example
for
how
we
should
look
at
you
know
without
residents,
without
taxpayers
money,
and
so,
let's
just
examine
many
many
which
has
been
mentioned
before
you
know
he
is
a
great
enthusiast
and
you
know
he
likes
to
make
sure
he's
interested
in
fish
in
water,
but
at
the
same
time,
he's
very
balanced,
he's
practical.
He
loves
salmon.
He
likes
to
eat
fish.
G
So,
in
order
to
have
good
fish,
we're
gonna
have
good
water,
with
a
good
system
to
provide
a
good
environment
that
things
actually
can
be
sustained,
that's
important,
so
I
really
have
a
lot
more
to
say,
but
I
think
I'm
just
going
to
stop
here
and
we're
going
to
miss
him
a
lot
and
you
know
so.
G
Hopefully
you
know
he's.
We
want
to
make
sure
sue.
We
are
think
of
her
and
you
know
don
and
herself
and
our
family
is
going
to
be
in
our
prayer.
You
know
thoughts,
so
thank
you
don
and
we
miss
you.
A
Thank
you.
That's
just
a
lovely
tribute
from
everybody.
I
also
know
that
dr
davidson
was
so
supportive
of
the
children
community,
especially
at
the
bellevue
youth
theater,
and
I
remember
him
having
a
starring
role
in
wizard
of
oz.
I
think
there's
some
variation
of
that,
so
he
he
was
really
engaged
and
he
loved
what's
coming
next,
so
we
have
our
flag
salute
coming
and
we
were
able.
G
To
add
one
thing,
john
sorry:
it's
a
singing
in
the
ring.
It's
probably
you
see
it.
He
and
I
were
in
the
in
the
in
the
play
in
the
pot.
So
thank
you.
A
Thank
you
for
that,
so
some
special
guests
tonight
meet
us
in
the
flag
salute.
It
is
mrs
mckenna's
second
grade
class
from
st
louise
in
bellevue
and
city
clerk.
If
you
could,
please
play
the
video,
you
feel
free
to
say
the
pledge,
along
with
them.
A
Very
nicely
done
speedy
too.
I
like
that.
Okay,
so
we
have
an
agenda
item
3a
and
council
member
robertson
is
going
to
recuse
herself
from
participating
in
that
item,
so
councilmember
robertson.
Would
you
to
remove
yourself
there
you
go
okay,
so
is
there
a
motion
to
approve
the
agenda.
G
C
A
H
Pursuant
to
state
law,
specifically
rcw
4.96
point
subsection
3,
a
local
government
may
pay
the
necessary
expenses
of
defending
an
elected
official
in
a
judicial
hearing
that
will
be
held
in
in
county
superior
court
to
determine
the
sufficiency
of
a
recall
charge
and
the
local
government
may
choose
to
also
pay
the
costs
associated
with
an
appeal
of
if
any
of
the
superior
court's
decision
in
the
recall,
proceeding
in
order
for
those
legal
expenses
to
be
paid
first,
the
elected
official
must
request
a
defense
which
council
member
robertson
has
done.
H
The
legislative
authority
of
the
local
government
must
approve
the
payment
of
the
defense
costs
and
then
the
attorney
representing
the
local
government's
government
must
also
approve
the
payment
of
those
costs.
The
resolution
that's
before
you
tonight,
if
approved,
would
constitute
the
legislative
authority's
approval
of
council
member
robertson's
defense
costs
and
includes
the
cost
of
any
appeal.
H
H
Finally,
just
to
clarify
for
the
record
the
council's
consideration
of
this
resolution
tonight
is
not
a
statement
about,
or
a
vote
on,
the
merits
of
the
recall
charges.
It's
the
role
of
the
courts
to
decide
whether
the
recall
charges
on
their
merits
satisfy
the
criteria
necessary
for
which
a
recall
petition
may
legally
be
filed,
and
the
courts
will
do
that
in
this
process.
The
vote
on
the
resolution
before
you
tonight
is
only
about
whether
to
authorize
the
payment
of
council
member
robertson's
legal
defense
costs,
as
the
state
allows
the
council
to
do
so.
C
A
F
Yeah,
I
just
want
to
say
briefly
that
the
point
of
this
is
to
really
assure
that
all
council
members
have
equal
access
to
the
court
process
designed
by
the
legislature
to
weed
out
frivolous
or
false
charges.
And
that's
that's
what
we're
doing
tonight
and
I
think
it's
a
positive,
a
positive
thing
to
do.
Thank.
A
You
any
other
questions
or
comments.
I
think
this
is
but
for
the
grace
of
god
go
I
mean,
and
so
with
that
all
those
in
favor
adopt
resolution
1982,
say
aye.
C
B
A
B
B
I
All
urban
cities
are
not
the
same
as
bellevue
is,
and
in
bellevue
all
residential
areas
are
not
the
same,
and
bellevue
residents
should
have
opportunity
to
give
input
when
zoning
changes
are
considered
and
it
passed.
The
residents
of
beltry
will
have
considerably
less
input.
I
I
City
residents
clearly
would
like
input
on
adus
next
bill
5235,
it's
worded
a
little
bit
strangely,
but
the
bill
appears
to
prohibit
a
city
from
requiring
the
property
owner
to
live
on
the
property
when
there
is
an
adu
and
again.
I
This
is
something
I
believe
many
city
home
owners
would
oppose,
and
this
bill
also
generally
would
prohibit
local
governments
from
limiting
the
number
of
unrelated
people
that
could
unrelated
adults
that
are
able
to
occupy
a
home
and
bellevue,
as
you
know,
in
most
cases
currently
allows,
but
for
unrelated
adults
in
the
home
final
bill,
I'm
going
to
talk
about
is
5269,
and
this
bill,
if
enacted,
would
require
that
to
access
the
levy
increase
discussed
in
the
bill.
I
J
J
Glendale
was
one
of
our
first
properties
and
back
when
we
acquired
it.
I
think
it's
what
we
would
now
call
naturally
occurring
affordable
housing,
but
I
think
back
then
we
just
called
it
old
apartments
and
for
over
25
years
dash
has
maintained
these
apartments
and
grown
a
community
there
now
we'd
like
to
reinvest
and
revitalize
glendale,
so
more
of
bellevue's,
workforce
and
seniors
can
benefit
from
the
opportunities
provided
by
sustainable,
affordable
housing.
J
Now,
if
all
of
this
sounds
familiar,
it's
because
we
submitted
this
same
comprehensive
plan,
amendment
back
in
2018
to
increase
density
at
glendale,
that
cpa
was
expanded
to
include
evergreen
court
and
it
passed
threshold
review.
Many
of
you
were
there.
I
remember,
and
you
supported
our
efforts-
council
members,
barksdale
and
zahn
robertson,
stokes
lee
and
mayor
robinson.
J
J
It's
no
longer
an
active
work
plan.
We
understood
that
risk
in
2018
that
we'd
be
back
in
the
comprehensive
plan.
Amendment
process
if
wilberton
didn't
work
out.
So
here
we
are,
and
once
again,
I'm
before
you
tonight
to
advocate
for
increased
density
on
these
properties
without
delay
with
added
density.
These
parcels
could
be
transformed
into
a
vibrant,
age-friendly,
affordable,
neighborhood,
providing
housing
that
bellevue's
working
families
and
seniors
desperately
need.
J
B
K
Thanks
so
much
so
I
just
wanted
to
voice
my
support
for
the
dash
glendale
group,
because
we
were
also
newport.
Hills
was
also
on
the
docket
back
in
2018,
with
a
developer
that
wanted
to
upzone
us
to
nmu.
It
was
completely
inappropriate
zoning
for
newport
hills,
but
it's
actually
incredibly
appropriate
zoning
for
dash,
and
I
completely
support
that.
I
think
it's
a
great
location.
K
I
did
see
that
on
your
that
you
won't
be
receiving
an
oral
report
tonight
from
parks
board,
but
that
you
did
receive
a
written
report
and
I
wanted
to
go
on
record
again,
as
I
did
email
you
that
the
park
naming
process
that
the
discussion
that
happened
in
november
was
again
by
my
opinion,
was
not
robust.
K
K
Zumdiac
had
a
name
change
and
we
know
why
that
there
was
some
icky
background
with
the
person
it
was
originally
named
for,
and
so
I
understand
that
there
was
a
suggestion
to
vet
mr
o'neill
and
anybody
that
was
going
to
be
a
namesake
for
our
park.
He
actually
has
history
with
our
neighborhood.
He
is
like
the
godfather
of
our
neighborhood,
and
the
unfortunate
thing
was
is
that
he
was
just
that.
K
Suggestion
was
basically
pushed
to
the
side
by
by
kind
of
a
majority
of
the
parks
board
members,
as
they
concentrated
on
borg
killed
ringdahl,
who
already
has
a
school
named
after
her
right
next
to
that
park,
property
and
who
has
zero
to
do
with
our
neighborhood
and
what
really
upset
me
and
upset
many
people
in
our
neighborhood
when
they
found
out
about
it
is
that
she
bore
killed.
Ringgold
was
not
held
to
the
same
vetting
standards
that
shannon
o'neil
was
going
to
be
held
to.
K
K
That's
not
equitable
and
it's
sexist,
and
I
would
like
for
you
to
please
take
into
consideration
newport
hills
and
what
we'd
like
to
see
and
what
represents
us
when
considering
the
naming
process
for
our
park,
that
we
waited
what
nine
ten
years
for
now.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
A
Thank
you
so
we're
going
to
move
on
to
reports
of
boards
and
commissions
and
we
do
have
in
our
pocket
a
parks
and
communities
quarterly
update,
which
you
have
an
opportunity
to
read
and
we're
not
going
to
have
a
presentation
or
discussion.
But
I
wanted
to
give
our
council
liaison
council
members
opportunity
to
speak
to
us.
L
Yes,
thank
you
mayor.
You
know,
I
would
say
that
I
want
to
thank
chair,
trust
cases
and
the
board
members
for
their
commitment
to
the
parks
board
and
the
work
that
they
have
done
working
very
diligently.
L
They
will
be
providing
these
updates
just
so
that
you
have
an
opportunity
to
stay
informed
about
the
work
of
the
parks
board
and
they
look
forward
to
serving
the
council
in
terms
of
other
directives
or
initiatives
that
we
might
want
to
have
them
work
on.
They
stand
ready
and
quite
excited
to
help
in
any
way
they
can.
M
Good
evening,
mary
robinson
and
council
members,
I
have
one
on
under
the
city
manager's
report
this
evening,
and
that
is
a
brief
update
on
the
utilities.
Advanced
meter
infrastructure,
also
known
as
ami
project,
and
this
update
is,
as
it
relates
to
challenges
from
covid
and
how
what
the
work
plan
looks
like
moving
into
2021.
M
N
So
tonight,
as
was
mentioned,
this
is
an
informational
briefing
only
to
inform
council
on
the
status
of
the
project.
No
action
is
required,
I'm
going
to
start
off
with
a
brief
background
and
refresher
on
previous
council
actions
and
then
provide
an
update
on
the
project
and
finish
with
our
plan
for
next
steps
in
2021.
N
N
N
N
N
Throughout
the
past
year,
laboratory
and
production
facilities
have
experienced
intermittent
disruptions,
which
in
turn
has
affected
itron's
ability
to
procure
the
cellular
transmitters
to
keep
the
project
on
schedule.
We
are
sliding
our
start
date
for
transmitter
installation
out
by
approximately
six
months.
However,
we
have
developed
a
strategy
to
compress
our
installation
schedule
and
keep
the
end
date
near
mid
2022,
as
envisioned
in
amendment
number
one
itron
has
agreed.
They
can
deliver
the
project
effectively.
N
With
this
compressed
schedule,
good
news,
not
everything,
was
impacted
by
covid,
while
residential
meter
exchanges
are
typically
fairly
quick,
taking
15
to
20
minutes,
a
commercial
meter
may
take
upwards
of
a
half
to
a
full
day
utilities
in
partnership
with
our
vendor
itron
completed
our
commercial
meter
work
in
2020
as
planned,
and
amendment
number
one,
given
that
the
majority
of
commercial
buildings
had
limited
use
during
covid.
Most
of
the
work
could
be
completed
during
daylight
hours.
This
allowed
our
vendor
to
proceed
faster
and
safer
with
the
commercial
meter
work.
N
N
The
city
hall
meter
is
a
four
inch
meter,
not
extremely
large,
but
you
can
see
it
takes
multiple
people
lifting
equipment
and
involves
working
inside
a
small
vault.
The
second
photo
is
at
overlake.
Hospital
overlake
has
six
different
meters
serving
the
hospital
through
close
coordination
with
the
hospital.
We
were
able
to
complete
all
meter
installations
and
keep
the
hospital
fully
operational
during
these
challenging
covid
times.
N
At
this
time,
about
90
percent
of
the
city-wide
commercial
meters
have
been
changed
out
for
ami
compatible
meters,
while
completing
the
commercial
meter
work.
We
had
zero
customer
calls
or
complaints
regarding
the
installation
of
meters,
and
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
give
a
shout
out
to
the
team
for
following
all
the
strict
safety
protocols,
including
covet
requirements
for
masks
and
hand
sanitizer,
so
I'm
sure
that
2021
will
bring
its
own
challenges.
However,
here
is
an
early
look
at
what
we
have
planned
this
year
in
the
upcoming
weeks.
N
N
N
Installing
these
meters
early
will
aid
in
meeting
our
schedule,
public
notices
will
be
starting
soon
to
those
households
included
in
the
early
phase.
Additionally,
this
amendment
will
direct
us
to
work
with
our
vendor
on
some
early
testing
prior
to
mass
deployment
with
that
I'll
wrap
up
this
evening.
Thank
you
for
your
time
today,
the
utilities
department
appreciates
council's
continued
interest
and
support
of
this
critical
smart
city
project.
A
Thank
you
very
much
once
I
see
once
I
can
see
everybody
I'll
open
it
for
comments
or
questions,
you
can
just
raise
your
hand
if
you'd
like
to
say
anything.
I
think
this
is
just
a
wonderful
example
of
how
the
city
of
bellevue
is
handling
covid.
You
know
we
got
delayed
for
a
little
bit,
but
we're
back
on
track
and
you're
going
to
stay
on
schedule
and
no
no
increased
costs.
That's
just
amazing!
So
thank
you
so
much
I
don't
see
any
comments
or
questions,
so
we
will
move
on
to
the
consent
calendar.
O
A
Okay,
thank
you.
We
have
a
study
session
item
here.
Oh
this
is
a
a
great
update.
Mr
miyake,
would
you
like
to
introduce
us.
M
Good
evening,
robinson,
council
members-
yes,
we
have
two
items
under
study
session
this
evening,
and
indeed
this
is
a
great
topic
for
tonight
to
talk
to
the
council
about
this
is
an
informational
briefing
on
the
ways
that
the
city
has
adapted
at
mini
city
hall,
to
provide
an
ease
of
access
to
information
and
city
services
throughout
the
pandemic.
M
Joining
us
this
evening
is
mike
mccormick,
huntleman,
the
assistant
director,
as
well
as
ian
carlson,
minnesota
city
hall
supervisor,
from
the
community
development
department.
This
is
just
information.
Only
no
formal
directions
is
being
asked
to
the
council,
but
obviously
we're
here
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have
with
that.
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
over
to
mike
mike.
P
Miyaki
I
want
to
thank
you,
mayor,
robinson,
deputy
mayor,
newinghouse
council.
It's
really
good
to
be
with
you
tonight.
As
you
know,
mini
city
hall
plays
a
vital
role
for
the
city
in
providing
culturally
competent
information
and
referral
services
to
our
residents.
P
This
is
especially
true
both
with
our
immigrant
community,
as
well
as
some
of
our
more
vulnerable
residents
and
being
on
the
front
lines.
It's
also
an
important
way
during
the
year
that
we
listen
to
residents
as
well
and
learn
from
them
what's
most
important
and
what
some
of
their
changing
needs
are
so,
as
was
mentioned
tonight,
is
really
an
informational
only
briefing.
Q
Thank
you
mike
good
evening,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor
house
and
council
members.
I'm
grateful
for
the
opportunity
here
tonight
to
share
an
update
with
you
about
the
crossroads
mini
city
hall
program.
This
is
the
agenda
for
our
presentation.
Q
Mini
city
hall
was
established
in
1996,
based
on
this
philosophy
that
we
need
to
serve
people
where
they
are
having
mini
city
hall
right
in
the
heart
of
brussels
shopping
center.
A
very
well-known
gathering
place
in
bellevue
in
a
very
diverse
neighborhood,
makes
our
services
very
accessible
and
welcoming,
especially
to
those
who
are
new
to
the
city
disabled
or
have
language
or
cultural
barriers.
Q
Over
the
years
we
have
learned
that
people
don't
come
to
mini
city
hall,
just
asking
for
city
services.
They
also
have
needs
that
the
city
cannot
fulfill.
So
whenever
we
see
a
new
need
or
a
service
gap,
we
will
always
partner
with
non-profit
organizations
to
bring
that
service
to
our
customers
at
mini
city
hall,
and
we
have
average,
on
average
about
five
to
ten
ongoing
partnerships
each
year,
such
as
health
care
or
a
computer
coach
partnership
with
the
library
hopeling
or
the
chinese
information
service
center.
Q
Along
with
many
of
our
community
community
partners,
we
serve
more
than
20
000
people
and
responds
to
about
40
000
requests
in
a
typical
year.
Now
these
requests
range
from
simply
paying
a
water
bill
to
I'm
in
a
domestic
violence
situation.
I
need
a
place
to
stay
with
the
night
with
my
children
or
I
don't
speak
good
english.
Where
can
I
get
help
open
a
new
business
in
bellevue?
Q
So
covet
has
a
big
impact
on
our
operation.
At
mini
city
hall,
we
had
to
close
our
physical
location
back
in
march
of
2020
and
transition
to
remote
services
to
the
community.
Just
like
everyone
else.
Naturally,
we
have
seen
a
decrease
in
number
of
individuals
served
overall
due
to
all
of
our
community
partners,
not
able
to
physically
serve
customers
anymore.
However,
we
have
seen
an
increase
in
human
service
needs
as
percentage
of
the
overall
request.
Now
you
can
see
the
graphs
here
back
in
2018
and
19.
Q
The
percentage
of
human
services
requests
were
somewhat
consistent
right
at
56
57,
and
then
this
past
year
and
2020
has
jumped
to
70,
and
we
have
noticed
that
when
people
call
us
their
issues
are
more
complex,
that
the
conversations
are
more
involved
and
with
a
multiple
request,
and
if
you
add
language
and
cultural
barriers
to
the
mix-
and
it
just
takes
that
much
longer
to
locate
the
right
resources
and
I
think
that's
really
reflective
of
how
much
folks
continue
to
struggle
during
the
pandemic
and
in
need
of
human
service
support.
Q
Most
of
our
clients
learn
about
mini
city
hall
through
word
of
mouth,
our
reputation
as
a
safe
and
trusted
place.
Many
city
hall
staff
are
trained
to
be
active
listeners
who
keep
our
ears
to
the
ground.
We
pay
attention
to
what
our
residents
are
asking
for.
What
are
their
concerns?
What
services
are
needed
right
so
we're
also
very
intentional
about
gathering
that
input
from
the
community
and
bringing
that
voice
back
to
city
hall.
Q
As
you
know,
the
pandemic
has
a
devastating
impact
on
the
health
and
financial
well-being
of
our
community,
and
some
of
the
common
themes
from
talking
to
folks
in
the
community
throughout
this
past
year
are
isolation,
especially
seniors,
who
live
alone
and
language
barriers
for
immigrant
immigrants
and
unemployment.
Q
We
are
also
seeing
many
first-timers
trying
to
ask
for
help
that
they
had
never
asked
for
before.
Since
the
pandemic
began.
We
have
heard
so
many
heartbreaking
stories
and
how
much
people
continue
to
struggle
just
last
week,
for
example,
was
helping
someone
to
locate
financial
resources
to
pay
their
water
bill
and
rent,
and
this
particular
client
lost
her
health
insurance
because
she
lost
her
job
and
was
kind
of
really
hard
to
make
their
water
bill
payment
and
then
their
rent
payment
as
well
for
the
seventh
month.
Q
So
she
has
to
continue
to
pay
her
internet
bill.
She
was
telling
me
that,
because,
even
though
she
can't
afford
it,
because
her
two
little
kids
will
need
that
for
online
lessons
right.
So
it's
just
a
really
tough
situation.
Q
Q
So
seeing
the
increase
in
community
demands
mini
city
hall
pivoted
to
expand
access
and
provide
various
ways
for
the
community
members
to
connect
to
resources
they
need,
and
we
knew
that
we
had
to
target
our
assistance
to
the
most
vulnerable
people
and
that's
why
we
created
the
covert
19
resource
navigator
program.
The
program
focuses
on
providing
timely,
personalized
and
multilingual
resources
to
the
public,
with
the
focus
on
a
pandemic
response.
Q
Q
Navigators
will
research
your
questions
and
customize
solutions
to
best
fit
each
situation
and
help
families
who
need
that
just
need
that
little
extra
support
right
in
these
challenging
times
and
many
agencies
are
really
overwhelmed
right
now,
with
so
many
requests.
So
a
lot
of
times,
people
are
just
thrilled
just
to
get
a
live
person
actually
pick
up
the
phone
and
listen
to
them,
and
this
is
especially
true
for
many
folks
who
are
first-timers
who
are
trying
to
access
resources.
Q
It
can
be
a
very
daunting
process
and
stressful,
so
the
navigator
navigator
can
do
a
little
bit
of
a
holding
and
provide
support
to
help
people
in
need,
and
we
are
also
seeing
that
these
are
really
valuable
opportunities
to
connect
with
the
community
and
kind
of
hear
from
them
directly
about
what's
on
their
mind
now.
We
also
know
that
not
everyone
is
computer
savvy,
so
we
also
put
together
a
paper
form
of
copenhagen
resource
guide
to
highlight
the
most
relevant
social
services
available
in
the
community,
and
these
are
being
distributed
to
food
banks.
Q
And
another
way
for
people
to
access
resources.
Is
this
an
interactive
community
resource
map
that
the
staff
at
mini
city
hall
created?
It
puts
the
information
at
your
fingertips
right?
So
resources
are
grouped
and
categorized
by
service
type,
including
social
services
agency,
address
links,
phone
number
and
a
short
bio
of
the
services.
Q
The
comprehensive
map
provides
community
members,
the
ability
to
kind
of
navigate
and
access
resources
available
locally
and
regionally
on
their
own,
and
it
also
connects
to
the
my
bellevue
app
and
there's
a
widget
on
there.
If
you
would
like
to
talk
to
someone
or
you
look
at
the
resource-
and
you
just
say,
wow,
that's
just
too
much,
and
I
would
like
like
someone
to
help
me
sort
it
out,
you
can
click
on
it.
It
will
connect
you
right
to
the
covet
resource
navigator.
Q
Q
Q
An
extensive
outreach
effort
will
be
prioritized
with
schools,
property
managers
of
apartment
complexes,
realtors
faith
organizations
in
the
community,
since
they
often
these
are
first
contact
that
people
make
when
they
move
to
bellevue.
We
believe
that
building
community
and
making
stronger
connections
are
especially
important
right
now,
during
these
times
of
isolation,.
Q
Outreach
to
vulnerable
and
underrepresented
populations
and
building
trust
with
our
diverse
community
has
always
been
the
signature
service
of
mini
city
hall
and
will
continue
to
remain
a
priority
as
well,
and
additionally,
mini
city
hall
will
be
working
with
the
bellevue
conference
resolution
center
to
assist
the
community
members
with
rent
and
mortgage
negotiation,
especially
those
who
have
a
limited
access
due
to
language
and
cultural
barriers.
Staff
for
main
city
hall
will
also
provide
strong
support
to
the
utility
rate
reduction
program,
which
starts
this
month
and
will
continue
throughout
the
year.
Q
A
You
ying
that
looks
great,
just
amazing,
what's
being
offered
there,
I'd
like
to
give
everybody
a
chance
to
make
comments
or
ask
questions,
and
I
was
just
making
my
list
really
quickly
here.
So
excuse
me
for
one
second:
okay,
so
we'll
go
councilmember,
barksdale,
deputy
mayor
noon,
house
councilmember,
stokes
robertson's
on
lee
and
then
me
so,
starting
with
council
member
barksdale.
D
All
right,
thank
you,
mayor,
thanks,
ying
and
and
and
other
staff
for
this.
This
work.
I
think
it's
really
cool
to
see
the
map
mike
to
you
as
well.
It's
really
cool
to
see
the
map
and
making
it
easier
for
people
to
access,
identify
the
resources
available
and
also
the
welcoming
guide,
really
appreciate
that.
I
think
it's
an
important
resource
for
helping
people
get
connected
once
they
get
here
I
mean
that's.
One
of
the
things
I've
heard
is
is
some
of
the
challenges
as
well
with
people
really
connecting.
D
So
I
just
have
one
question:
how
do
we
learn
or
are
we
tying
what
we
hear
from
the
community.
D
Right
now,
as
as
you're
engaging
into
the
human
needs
assessment
survey
design
so
that
we
can
kind
of
get
a
sense
of
you
know
how
prevalent
and
you
know
what
are
some
of
the
other
attributes
that
relate
to
you-
know,
people
who
are
having
difficulty
right
now.
Q
Yeah,
so
we
are
in
regular
communication
internally
with
human
services,
you
know:
division
and
the
parks
department
and
even
the
emergency
management
staff.
We
actually
have
a
tracking
system
that
we
have
a
mini
city
hall,
so
we're
it's
a
high
level
tracking
system.
We
when
people
ask
for
requests
and
we
kind
of
track
that
service,
and
then
we
can
run
a
report
and
find
out.
You
know
kind
of
you
know
what
people
are
asking
for
percentage
and
we
provide
that
to
the
the
human
service
updates
as
well.
A
Okay,
deputy
mayor.
C
Thank
you,
mayor
and
yang,
and
mike
thanks
for
the
great
presentation.
This
is
such
a
great
and
needed
resource
in
our
community,
and
I
appreciate
council
member
mark
so
question
about
feeding
this
information
into
our
human
services.
Commission,
that's
so
critically
important,
and
that
was
actually
one
of
my
first
questions.
Is
you
know
during
this
time
of
the
pandemic,
you
know.
C
Has
this
well
first,
have
we
seen
an
increase
in
any
one
request
or
what
has
been
the
most
requested
issue
or
or
something
that
they
need
some
assistance
with
and
also
has
it
revealed
any
gaps
in
our
service
that
maybe
wasn't
exposed
before,
but
during
this
pandemic
it
has
and
and
maybe
what
steps
we
can
do
to
to
alleviate
that.
Q
I
would
say
the
most
popular
requests
that
we
hear
from
the
community
are
like
rent
and
utility
assistance,
especially
the
rent.
Many
folks
are
really
behind
on
their
rent.
O
Q
And
then
legal
assistance
and
kind
of
immigration
referrals
continue
to
be
a
top
ones
for
us
and
then
during
the
pandemic
you
know.
Obviously,
healthcare
access
is
a
big
one,
lots
of
folks
kind
of
lost
their
jobs
and
then
that
you
know
that
being
gone
would
be
their
employer's
sponsor
insurance.
So
we're
kind
of
partnering
with
some
like
the
international
community
health
services.
Q
They
are
a
non-profit
and
a
clinic
as
well,
and
then
they
are
kind
of
providing
folks
with
you
know,
enrolling
in
obamacare
and
just
providing
the
extra
little
support
to
kind
of
guide
them
through
that.
C
Q
Yeah
and
we'll
continue
to
kind
of
look
at
the
data
and
the
resources
and
rehab
and
expand
to
just
new
partnerships
and
see
how
we
can
actually
build
all
those
gaps.
C
So
that's
the
other
thing
where
to
get
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
the
digital
divide
here.
So
a
lot
of
these
folks
that
are
not
able
to
get
to
this
information
because
do
they
not
have
internet
access,
are
they
or
are
they
able
to
at
all
access
the
the
app
are?
We
are
we,
the
the
my
value
web?
Are
we
tracking
that
information
as
well.
Q
Yeah,
I
think,
there's
a
way
to
track
that,
I
would
say
the
majority
of
people
are,
they
were
just
calling
us.
I
think
a
lot
of
people.
Are
they
already
kind
of
have
a
relationship
with
us
and
then
they
have
trust
in
us
and
they
know
mini
city
han.
They
would
just
call
us,
and
then
you
know,
because
a
lot
of
services
are
worth
the
mouth
right.
Q
So
we
have
also
in
communications
with
service
providers
in
the
community,
and
then
people
are
newcomers
or
people
never
ask
for
help
before
and
kind
of
getting
that
information
like
flyers
and
our
brochures
and
food
banks
and
kind
of
word
of
mouth
when
people
are
calling
us,
I
would
say
most
of
them
are
calling
us
and
kind
of
asking
for
resources
that
way.
F
Yeah,
thank
you
very
much
yang
and
mike.
It
really
is
an
amazing
program
and
you've
done
quite
well
in
all
these.
These
weird
circumstances
we're
under
now,
and
I
appreciate
the
things
you
said
already
about
what
you've
been
doing
and
kind
of
differences
and
and
how
you
approach
things.
Just
a
couple
of
questions
that
you
may
not
have
complete
answers
right
now,
but,
like
you
know,
kind
of
think
about
them
is
what
what
are
you
doing
different
or
what
do
you?
F
Q
Q
So
while
we're
providing
phone
assistance,
you
know
you
just
have
to
really
do
your
active
listening
and
kind
of
you
know
doing
that
repeating
back
to
folks
and
kind
of
getting
the
interest
and
getting
you
know
what
what
requests
they're
really
asking
hearing
their
stories
right,
kind
of
like
getting
that
information
out
of
them
and
then
making
that
connection.
You
know
on
the
phone,
I
think
that's
you
know
one
piece
that
our
I
think
our
staff
are
really
good
at
actually
and
we're
doing
more
and
more.
Q
We
definitely
noticed
that
during
the
pandemic
that
we
are
providing
that
active
listening
piece
that
people
are
calling
us
and
making
that
connection.
It's
it's
a
little
bit
of
a
change.
I
would
say.
F
Okay,
no
because
I
you
know
it's
like
a
lot
of
other
things,
we
things
are
so
different,
now
they're
not
going
to
be
the
same
as
they
were
beforehand.
So
it's
it's
good
to
hear
your
sounds
like
you've
got
a
lot,
some
lessons
learned
or
different
ways
of
doing
things
and
that
that
sounds
great.
Is
there?
Are
there
any
overall
lessons
you
you've
taken
from
this
in
terms
in
terms
of
the
approach,
or
does
it
sound
pretty
much
like?
F
We
have
a
really
good
program,
it's
just
a
matter
of
kind
of
stepping
up
or
doing
things
a
little
different.
Q
We
have
always
been
doing
this
right
anytime,
there's
a
new
need
that
we
are
noticing
that
people
are
kind
of
asking
different
things
and
right
right
now,
for
example,
people
asking
about
rent
assistance,
you
know,
that's,
we
see
an
increase
of
that
quite
a
bit,
so
we
have
to
think
about
partnerships
in
terms
of
like
how
what
organizations
out
there
in
the
community
that
we
can
partner
with
that,
we
can
form
a
new
partnership
that
we
can
actually
bring
that
service
to
folks.
Q
When
people
call
we
can
already
have
the
connection
with
that
organization,
and
then
we
can
quickly
link
them
to
that
services
right
so
we'll
be
partnering
with
the
bellevue
conflict
resolution
center
internally
and
kind
of
like
streamline
that
services
a
little
bit.
So
when
people
call-
and
we
have
the
language
support
there-
we
have
the
relationship
already
built
and
kind
of
just
you
know
streamline
that
process
a
little
bit.
F
E
Thanks
what
a
great
presentation
you
know,
I
I
love
this
mini
city
hall.
It's
been
there
for
what
15
years
now,
25
years,
25
okay,
even
longer
than
I
thought
time
just
flies
when
you're
having
fun
right.
E
So
I
mean
I
and
in
those
25
years,
belgium's
only
gotten,
bigger
and
more
diverse,
and
you
know
so
getting
doing
the
outreach
getting
to
where
people
are
making
sure
people
can
access
their
local
government,
which
I
always
call
the
government
of
first
resort
rather
than
the
government
of
last
resort,
because
we're
closest
to
the
people,
I
think,
is
really
really
important,
and
I
really
appreciate
the
resource
guide
and
the
welcome
guide.
I
mean
we
used
to
have
welcome
wagons.
E
My
neighborhood
sometimes
still
does,
but
you
know
this
is
a
great
way
to
welcome
people
to
the
community.
So
one
of
the
things
I
think
I've
talked
about
before,
probably
the
last
time
you
were
here
was
that
we
have
a
community
policing
center
at
or
we
did
at
victoria
mall,
and
that
is
undergoing
redevelopment.
E
I
think
that
it
would
be
really
great
to
work
with
the
owners
as
they're
redeveloping,
to
explore
the
idea
and,
of
course,
we
it's
a
budget
issue.
It
has
to
come
back
in
the
budget
of
having
a
second
mini
city
hall,
because
that
way
we
would
have
you
know
access
to
government
services
in
three
areas
of
the
city,
and
I
think
that
that
would
be
really
helpful.
E
I
and
you
know
I
don't
know
how
much
we
partner
with
other
third
places.
You
know
crossroads
and
victoria.
These
are
third
places
where
people
gather
and
where
community
community
connections
happen.
So
if
we're
not
already
partnering
with
the
library
to
put
information
available
because
a
lot
of
people
go
there
for
information,
I
think
we
should
be
because
getting
people
information
is
really
important
on
the
phone
call.
Since
so
much
is
coming
on
the
phone.
E
Q
You
know
we
we
refer
to
each
other,
all
the
time.
It
depends
right.
I
think
I
think
mini
city
hall
has
a
little
bit
of
reputation
of
like
serving
folks
with
language
barriers,
so
we
do
get
referred
from
your
main
city,
hall
and
other
departments.
You
know
when
folks
have
a
language
barrier
issue
or
they
need
more
further
assistance
with
human
service
needs,
so
we
refer
back
and
forth
with
each
other.
All
the
time.
E
Okay,
great,
I
want
to
add,
live.
I
assume
that
we
were
coordinating
that
closely,
but
I
just
wanted
to
verify
that.
The
other
thing
I
would
be
curious
to
know
about
is
how
closely
we're
tracking
all
the
requests
for
services,
whether
they
come
in
at
mini
city
hall,
whether
they
come
in
at
city
hall,
because
you
know
we
always
do
a
budget
survey
to
the
community.
E
But
this
is
not.
This
is
different
than
that,
and
so
I
think
that
it
would
be
really
useful
to
have
the
data
on
what
kinds
of
requests
we
get
and
how
we're
able
to
serve
them
and
the
number
and
how
it's
changed
over
time
to
have
that
ahead
of
our
budget,
because
if
we
know
that
there's,
for
example,
more
requests
for
legal
services,
then
we
could
then
we
could
possibly
manage
with
our
human
services
grants.
That's
really
important
information
for
the
human
services
commission
to
have
so
what
have
we
done
in
the
past?
E
Q
You
know
we
have
actually
it
just
enhanced
our
tracking
system
at
mini
city
hall
just
this
past
year.
Just
you
know
actually
around
the
time
that
the
pandemic
started
and
we
we
actually
make
the
categories
even
more
detailed
in
the
past
was
just
four
categories,
and
now
it's
like
you
know,
20
categories,
so
we're
tracking
are
people
even
asking
for
county
resources
or
federal
issues.
Q
If
they're
asking
for
city
resources
which
department
and
if
they're
asking
for
human
services
needs,
you
know,
we
have
different
categories.
Is
it
legal
resources
in
food,
financial
support,
school
education?
So
we
have
like
all
kinds
of
categories
and
we
can
run
reports,
so
we
can
see
in
any
particular
month.
You
know
how
that
is
different
than
last
year,
so
we've
been
tracking
those
information
and
just
this
past
year
we
made
it
even
more
comprehensive
and
we'll
share
that
information
with
human
service
staff
as
well.
E
L
Members
on
yes,
thank
you,
ying
and
mike.
I
too
just
applaud
your
work
and
the
the
memo
that
really
gives
us
an
idea,
and
I
think
it
back
tracks
very
closely
to
what
we
heard
last
year
from
the
standpoint
of
what
are
the
needs
in
our
community
related
to
covid,
right
housing,
legal
services,
food
and
I-
and
I
really
think
about
how
meeting
people
where
they
are
means
that
we
already
have
the
relationships
before
they
need
the
help.
L
Yes,
because
during
a
phone
call,
you're
not
going
to
be
building
the
relationships
on
a
cold
call
right.
It
is
based
on
that
word
of
mouth
and
the
community
trusting
that
we're
here
for
them.
So
I
really
appreciate
the
work
that
you've
done
over
the
25
years
to
build
those
relationships
and
have
that
trust.
So
people
know
that
when
they
call,
we
help
whether
that
is
services
that
are
directly
from
the
city
or
being
able
to
tie
them
to
the
community-based
organizations
and
in
language
that
is
in
their
native
language
to
help
them.
L
L
So
I
I
was
curious
about
what
kind
of
self-care
we're
providing
for
our
staff
to
make
sure
that
they
are
able
to
stay
engaged,
because
this
is
really
hard
work,
especially
when
you
talk
about
the
mediation
work
around
the
landlord
tenant
issues,
so
that
people
don't
become
evicted
and
homeless.
So,
thanks.
Q
Thank
you
so
much
so
your
first
question
about
a
vaccine.
Actually,
we
are
hearing
a
lot
from
folks
calling
us
and
kind
of
asking
that
information.
Q
Is
you
probably
know
that,
right
now
the
road
is
a
little
bit
of
you
know
difficult
lots
of
people
having
you
know,
trouble
getting
an
appointment
and
a
lot
of
folks
who
call
us.
You
know
they
have
issues
you
know
with
like
even
just
not
being
really
savvy
on
the
computer.
Q
So
you
know
our
seniors
right.
So
what
they
call
us,
we
we
first
we
walked
them
through
the
process
of
kind
of
like
do
you
get
a
computer?
Do
you
do
you
know
this
and
we
kind
of
walk
them
through
the
process
a
little
bit
because
of
privacy
issues?
We
cannot
get
all
the
information
right,
but
we
do
walk
people
through
just
provide
a
little
bit
of
hand-holding
and
kind
of
like
talk
them
through
it
about
how
to
actually
get
your
legibility
right.
You
have
to
actually
go
to
the
the
face.
Q
Finder
website
and
kind
of
you
know,
look
at
that.
You're
you're,
if
you're
eligible
for
that,
and
so
we
do
a
lot
of
hand-holding
on
that
front,
just
to
kind
of
build
trust
with
people,
and
then
people
call
us
and
they
say
well,
should
I
get
a
vaccine?
Should
I
not
get
a
vaccine
and
that
sort
of
thing
we
don't
usually
advise
people
on,
but
we
we
tell
people
the
facts
and
the
information
we
want
to
make
sure
those
things
are
accessible
and
accurate.
Q
So
we
give
people
that
information
they
need
and
then
they
can
make
the
decision
themselves
and
then
we
also
provide
a
little
bit
extra
support
when
they
are
trying
to
access
information.
So
that's
what
we're
doing
for
that
and
your
second
question
is
self-care
and
thank
you
so
much
for
that
question.
I
you
know,
I
think
the
staff
really
appreciate
that
comment.
Q
It's
really
a
difficult
time
right
for
all
of
us
to
kind
of
hearing
the
heartbreaking
stories
sometimes,
and
then
you
know
spending
like
an
hour
on
the
phone
with
folks.
You
know
going
through
some
really
hard
times
and
right
now
actually
mike
and
I
are
putting
together
some
kind
of
training
and
for
our
staff
just
to
while
they're
navigating
the
system
with
the
residents.
You
know
how
do
they,
you
know
protect
themselves
and
then
kind
of
care
for
themselves
in
order
to
you
know,
actually
provide
support
for
the
community.
Q
So
we're
we're
really
aware
of
that,
and
we
are
trying
our
best
to
kind
of
provide
training
and
support
for
our
staff
in
order
to
kind
of
move
forward,
because
we
know
that
the
pandemic
is
not
going
to
end
soon
right,
it's
you
know
still
like
at
least
a
year
out,
so
we
know
that
we
will
have
to
continue
to
provide
the
support,
so
we
will
actually
provide
our
support
to
our
staff
in
order
to
you
know,
make
them
more
solid
on
providing
support
for
the
community.
Q
G
Thank
you,
great
presentation,
ying
and
also
thanks
to
mike
and
all
the
other
people
in
the
middle
city
hall.
That's
providing
the
service
to
the
population
during
this
last
year.
When
there's
a
lot
of
additional
needs,
I'm
sure
you
know
that's
never
been
anticipated,
and
so
you
know
you
guys
must
be
working
really
very,
very
hard
and,
as
many
people
have
already
commented,
you
know,
government
is
best
when
people
are
so
mainly
city
hall
is
where
you
know
lots
of
folks
crossroads
is
where
you
know.
G
We
have
lots
of
diversity
and
lots
of
you
know
rental
people
you
know
so
on
and
that
the
people
who
need
actually
government,
probably
government,
helped
the
most.
So
I
think
it's
very
important
and
crossroads
has
always
been
the
proven
to
be
the
city's
crossroads
of
the
world.
Actually,
so
it's
very
appropriate.
G
I
don't
think
it's
intended
to
be
there
when
it
was
first
caught
with
teronomics,
you
know,
being
the
owner
of
ron
shurer
with
this
vision
to
have
such
a
diverse
place
where
people
you
know,
are
really
meeting
people
and
working
together,
but
at
the
same
time
you
know
because
of
the
fact
that
they
are
diverse,
their
language
barriers
are
the
other
barriers
and
cultural
barriers,
so
the
mini
city
halls
right
there,
and
these
people
cannot
don't
know
how
to
access
government
you
know,
and
so
you
are
there
with
them.
G
So
I
think
you
are
doing
a
very
important
job,
and
so
thank
you
appreciate
that
and
I
think
we
need
to
continue,
as
you
mentioned,
with,
what's
happened
last
year,
so
I
was
just
curious.
G
You
know
whether,
with
the
city
going
more
and
more,
we
are
doing
more
and
more
human
service
programs
and
what
are
the
needs
that
has
been
particularly
demonstrated.
You
know
from
this
last
year
and
you
are
you
keep.
I
know
you
know
you
mentioned.
I
think
councilmember
robertson
mentioned
keeping
track
of
data
information
because
that's
going
to
help
us.
You
know
the
fact
that
we
are
there
for
the
people.
At
the
same
time.
We
are
there
to
also
know
the
information
closer
to
the
people
firsthand.
G
So
that's
going
to
help
us
the
city
to
do
more
necessary
things
to
meet
their
needs.
So
I'm
hoping
that
we
have
those
information,
those
data
you
know
before
and
during
and
maybe
even
after
covert
19,
so
that
we
can
know
what
other
population,
what
are
the
needs
and
what
are
the
things
that
we
may
be
able
to
be
prepared?
G
You
know
to
well
to
take
care
of
their
needs,
so
I
think,
would
be
very
useful
that
would
be
good
to
share
with
us,
like,
as
councilmember
roberts
mentioned
other
than
that
you
know.
I
just
feel
that
there's
a
lot
of
things
we
you
know,
I'm
sure,
can
do
and
will
do,
and
you
are
doing
that.
You
know
you
are.
You
are
working
with
the
resources
you
got
the
best
you
can
and
we
can
spend
a
lot
of
time
just
talking
about
specific
needs.
G
People
may
have,
but
you
know
what
we
need
to
do
is
we
need
to
be
able
to
help
you
to
be
in
position
to
understand
that
and
to
be
able
to
respond.
I
think
that's
the
city
council's
job
is
to
know
what
the
city
needs,
and
in
particular
area
and
as
a
city
as
a
whole,
in
whatever
areas
we
can
meet
their
needs
and
do
what
we
can
to
help
them.
G
So,
thanks
again,
I
very
much
appreciate
what
you
do
so
as
long
as
soon
as
you
know,
we
need
have
more
information
from
you
and
know
we
can
do.
I
think
the
city
can
prepare
to
come
up
with
the
resources,
whatever
that's
necessary,
right
to
take
care
of
our
citizens.
So
again,
you
are
the
way
people
are
and
this
government
is
works.
The
best
thank
you.
A
Thanks
so
much,
I
was
so
impressed
when
I
was
reading
the
packet,
and
I
was
looking
at
the
attachments
with
the
materials
that
you're
providing
for
people
in
bellevue.
It's
really
I'm
so
proud
of
the
work
that
you're
doing,
and
I
want
to
thank
you
and
and
everybody
for
for
filling
this
incredible
need
in
our
city.
Q
Q
Some
folks
only
feel
comfortable
going
to
the
grocery
store,
so
the
needs
are
very
different,
but
what
we're
doing
right
now
is
kind
of
you
know
one
providing
make
sure
that
we
provide
really
accurate
information
to
folks
so
that
they
know
the
the
facts,
and
then
you
know
where
to
get
it,
and
the
second
thing
is
that
we
are
doing
a
lot
of
hand
holding
with
folks.
You
know
with
the
face
finder
lots
of
people
even
have
trouble
kind
of
getting
on
that
website
and
don't
really
know
how
to
start
doing
that.
Q
So
we
you
know
when
we
are
on
the
phone
with
folks.
We
try
to
do
hand
holding
and
kind
of
help
them.
You
know
just
step
by
step.
You
know
we
have
a
lot
of
screenshots
right
that
we
kind
of
like
printed
out
for
people
and
then
just
on
the
phone
kind
of
guiding
them
through
step
by
step
and
kind
of
trying
to
sign
up-
and
that's
been,
you
know,
a
slow.
But
it's
been
helpful
and
a
lot
of
seniors
actually
really
appreciate
that.
So
we've
been
just
doing
that
for
now
great.
A
Well,
good
luck
with
that
and
thank
you
again,
okay!
So
we're
moving
on
to
our
next
item
on
the
study
session,
and
I
want
to
pause
here
for
a
moment
to
note
that
one
of
my
favorite
staff
members,
mr
nicholas
matz,
this
may
be
his
last
meeting
with
us
he's
too
young
to
retire,
but
he's
going
to
do
it
anyway.
M
Thank
you,
mayor
council
members.
As
you
all
know,
the
city
conducts
an
annual
process
to
consider
amendments
to
its
comprehensive
plan,
and
tonight
staff
is
introducing
to
the
council
the
privately
initiated
applications
and
a
summary
of
the
process
of
moving
forward.
M
This
is
informational.
There's
no
direction.
That's
been
required
by
council.
This
is
actually
being
reviewed
by
the
planning
commission
as
well
with
that
I
am
going
to
turn
over
to
emil
king
for
presentation,
emil.
R
Good
evening,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor,
newman
house
and
members
of
council
on
behalf
of
the
community
development
department,
nicholas
matz,
and
I
are
here
tonight
to
provide
you
an
introduction
to
the
2021
annual
comprehensive
plan
amendments.
As
you
know,
bilby's
comprehensive
plan
is
the
foundational
policy
document
that
guides
growth
and
development
in
the
city.
The
plan
stems
from
years
of
community
work,
foresight
and
thoughtful
planning,
both
city
initiated
and
these
privately
initiated
potential
changes
to
the
plan,
as
we
will
highlight
tonight,
are
given
careful
consideration
through
a
defined
annual
amendment
process.
R
Before
we
begin
our
presentation,
I
wanted
to
say
a
few
words
about
staff
member
nicholas
matz.
This
is
nicholas's
final
week
with
the
city
nicholas
will
be
taking
a
new
position
with
the
city
of
normandy
park,
washington,
as
their
new
community
development
director,
while
nicholas,
will
remain
a
bellevue
resident.
His
31
and
a
half
year
career
with
the
city
of
bellevue
organization
will
be
coming
to
a
close.
R
R
S
Thank
you
emil,
mayor
robinson,
it's
gonna
be
harder
than
I
thought,
mayor,
robinson,
deputy
mayor,
known
hosts
and
members
of
the
council.
S
It
is
my
honor
to
present
you
with
information
about
this
year's
2021
conference
plan,
amendment
process
and
the
privately
initiated
applications
that
we
will
be
presenting
review
for
you
tonight.
We
did
receive
two
of
these
privately
initiated
amendments
by
the
september
15th
2020.
You
recall
that
two
years
ago
you
amended
the
land
use
code
to
create
a
larger
window
of
opportunity
for
plan
amendments
to
come
in.
So
now
they
come
in
by
september
for
the
following
plan
review
year.
S
This
is
paid
off
for
us
because
of
your
intent
in
regards
to
creating
more
time
for
the
planning
commission
to
get
the
information,
the
data
and
the
review
time
that
they
need
to
look
at
plan
amendments
with
a
healthy
and
informed
eye,
and
so
this
year,
as
I
mentioned,
we
saw
two
of
them.
We'll
talk
to
them
about
you
tonight.
S
We
will
have
a
three-part
agenda
tonight,
I'll
quickly,
review
the
annual
amendment
process,
building
on
assistant
director
king's
comments,
point
out
the
two
sites
and
then
we'll
tell
you.
What's
next,
the
annual
plan
amendment
process
has
these
essential
six
steps
to
it
under
the
growth
management
act?
We
must
consider
these
amendments
no
more
frequently
than
once
a
year.
These
are
specific
steps
in
a
general
timeline.
S
The
annual
plan
amendment
process
includes
two
steps
where
threshold
review
evaluates
an
application,
and
final
review
examines
the
merits
of
that
application.
Each
of
those
steps
has
the
planning
commission,
study
and
hearing,
and
each
of
them
has
city
council.
With
threshold
review,
you
are
asked
to
establish
a
work
program
with
fine
review.
You
are
asked
to
take
action
on
recommendations
made
to
you
by
the
planning
commission
itself.
S
An
equally
important
part
of
the
annual
plan
amendment
process
is
our
public
engagement,
where
we
engage
residents,
stakeholders
and
communities.
In
the
plan
amendment
process
there
are
two
essential
parts
to
this
engagement
process:
the
role
of
the
planning
commission
as
your
designated
legislative
body,
to
conduct
studies
and
hold
the
hearing
and
make
recommendations
on
plan
amendments.
S
Amendment
year
this
this
year
of
the
dash
application
on
northeast
8th
124th
and
the
15
lake
bellevue
application,
which
is
located
on
lake
bellevue
in
more
detail,
the
15
lake
bellevue
application
is
a
privately
initiated
application
that
proposes
a
map
amendment
from
bell
red
general
commercial
to
bellred
office
residential.
It's
a
little
under
three
acres.
It's
a
28.8,
acre
site.
They've
also
asked
to
amend
policy
svr
96,
which
stipulates
a
maximum
building
height
allowance
in
areas
that
are
adjacent
to
nodes.
S
Here's
an
orthographic
of
the
15
lake
bellevue
site,
it's
outlined
in
red
there
you
can
see
the
location
in
the
building
and
it's
surface
parking.
The
request
and
I'll
show
you
the
comp
plan
map
in
a
minute.
The
request,
as
I
mentioned,
is
to
be
able
to
create
a
larger
footprint,
larger
density
and
to
be
able
to
provide
a
mixed-use
opportunity
on
the
site,
with
a
roughly
12
to
15
floors
of
commercial
development,
including
housing
on
those
on
that
site.
S
It's
in
proximity,
close
proximity
to
the
wilberton
hospital,
light
rail
station
here
the
area
that
is
involved
in
all
of
the
brgc.
Let
me
go
to
that
here.
You
get
again,
you'll
see
the
area
again.
The
brgc
is
this
area,
that's
shown
in
pink.
S
S
Dash
is
also
as
as
she
mentioned,
dash
was
here
originally
in
2018
maiden
made
that
application
for
the
nmu,
the
city
recommended
city
council
planning,
commission
staff
recommended
that
it
be
considered
within
the
wilberton
land.
You
study
process,
as
ms
buchanan
has
noted,
the
the
time
frame
that
is
necessary
for
daesh
to
address
some
of
their
financing
considerations
makes
it
more
suitable
for
them
to
come
back
here
into
the
2021
annual
plan
amendment
process
and
just
on
a
technical
detail.
They
did.
S
They
did
make
the
three-year
rule
so
they're
back
before
you
in
substantially
the
same
application,
as
was
done
previously
and
for
substantially
the
same
reasons
to
create
actual
affordable
housing
on
the
ground
in
bellevue,
in
proximity
to
employment,
centers,
light
rail
and
other
mobility
features.
S
There
is
again
is
there
application
laid
out
against
the
comprehensive
plan
map
you
can
see
their
existing
designation
here
bell
red
as
up
to
the
north.
Here
they
are
adjacent
to
and
included
in
the
wilberton
study
area
project
which
extends
to
the
west
and
south.
Here
they
also
see
northeast
8th
street
along
here
fun
fact.
I
did
comp
plan
amendments
on
this
site
right
here
directly
to
the
south
and
directly
to
the
southwest.
S
We've
already
completed
introductory
briefing
to
the
planning
commission
on
december
9th
we
have
published
the
list
of
received
applications
beginning
the
plan,
amendment
and
engagement
process,
and
the
planning
commission
has
held
its
threshold
review,
study
session
and
discussion
of
geographic
scoping
on
january
27th.
We're
before
you
tonight
on
february,
8th
to
provide
your
introductory
briefing
memo
and
then
we
will
move
forward
with
additional
steps.
As
I
mentioned
in
threshold
review
and
final
review,
culminating
in
city
council
action
in
in.
S
We
saw
early
on
that,
bringing
them
bringing
the
privately
initiated
any
public
initiated
and,
of
course,
the
neighborhood
plans
themselves
to
for
one
study
session
in
november,
and
action
in
december
was
not
going
to
be
sufficient
to
be
able
to
engage
on
on
this
work.
And
so
we
have
adjusted
the
review
schedule
to
be
able
to
integrate
all
of
those
things
into
a
single
set
of
council
considerations.
S
S
A
Okay,
so
I
will
call
in
this
order
I'll
start
with
councilmember
barksdale,
since
these
leads
on
to
the
planning
commission
then
go
to
robertson,
stokely's
on
deputy
mayor
and
myself,
so
councilmember
barksdale.
D
D
I've
enjoyed
our
conversations
and
you've
always
made
our
meetings
very
engaging
and
fun.
I
I
know
commissioner
malakucci
will
miss
having
you
present.
I
know
to
always
raise
the
the
the
topic
of
those
presentations
so
we'll
miss
having
you,
but
congratulations
and
it's
a
well-deserved
opportunity.
So.
S
D
E
Robertson,
thank
you
so
I
already
personally
spoke
to
nicholas,
because
I've
worked
with
nicholas
for
oh,
my
gosh,
how
18
years
now
when
I
was
first
put
on
the
planning
commission-
and
he
staffed
me
very
ably
on
some
of
my
regional
committees,
most
recently
on
my
growth
management
planning,
council
assignment
and
very
ably,
we
will
miss
you,
I'm
so
I'm,
but
I'm
pleased
for
you
that
you
have
a
new
adventure
ahead,
and
you
know
I
don't
know
if
we're
still
gonna
be
calling
you
up
asking
you
about
the
comp
plan
internally
here,
because
you're
such
the
expert.
E
But
yes
thank
you
for
all
your
work.
You
know
it's.
It's
really
been
a
pleasure
and
I
hope
that
we
will
still
see
you
around.
Your
kids
are
too
old
for
me
to
see
you
on
the
pool
deck
anymore.
I
used
to
see
nicholas
on
the
pool
decks
because
it's
also
our
swim
racers,
but
hopefully
we'll
still
see
you
around
since
you're.
Still
above
you
just
a
bellevue
resident.
So
not
just,
but
you
know
one
of
the
one
of
the
one
of
the
greats.
E
So
I
have
a
couple
of
questions
about
the
cpas.
I
know
this
is
just
a
briefing,
but
we've
been
talking
a
lot
at
this
council
about
affordable
housing
about
the
need
to
get
on
with
some
of
our
comp
plan.
E
Updates
the
land
use
code,
changes
the
bigger
plans,
and
so
and-
and
I
know
that
many
of
us
have
a
lot
of
heartburn
with
making
sure
that
we
do
get
affordable
housing,
particularly
at
the
transit
oriented
development
areas
which,
from
my
look
at
the
map,
both
of
these
projects
are
would
be
considered.
Tod
they're
right
near
the
light
rail
station.
One
is
in
the
bell
red
corridor,
which
we
were
supposed
to
do
a
look
back
on
seven
years
ago
and
the
others
from
wilburton.
E
We
have
a
cac
report
that
is
pending,
so
you
you
mentioned
briefly
that
if
the
council
wants
to
initiate
any
comp
plans
that
you
have
set
the
schedule
for
that,
were
we
planning
to
initiate
the
wilberton
work
this
year,
because
I
would
love
to.
I
would
love
to
kick
that
off.
Have
a
couple
meetings
at
council
soon
send
it
to
the
planning
commission
this
year.
While
we
finish
up
east
maine,
is
that
something
that
could
happen.
R
R
We
see
it
as
a
a
high
priority
high
priority
for
the
city,
but
also
see
a
couple
other
things
that
we
need
to
wrap
up
first
before
we
shift
resources
over
to
it.
Those
those
efforts
are
ongoing.
We
have
the
east
main
luca
that
we're
continuing
to
work
on
and
hope
to
be
able
to
report
back
to
council
soon
on
that,
as
well
as
the
grant
connection
design
guidelines
that
we
have
in
the
the
fourth
quarter
of
that
effort,
hoping
to
wrap
up.
R
E
Okay,
well,
I
would
love
to
get
that
sent
to
the
planning
commission
this
year.
I'll
just
say
that
that
would
be
a
priority
of
me
of
mine
and
will
the
planning
commission,
since
the
one
of
these
is
in
the
wilberton
study
area?
Will
the
planning
commission
be
able
to
consider
the
cac
report
as
part
of
their
due
diligence
on
this
comp
plan
amendment
and
how
it
matches
up
with
that?
I
know:
that's
not
official
policy
yet,
but
it's
kind
of
the
road
map.
S
Yes,
ma'am
they're,
actually,
both
in
the
wilburton
study
area,
the
15
like
bellevue
site,
is
in
both
bellred
and
wilberton
and
we're
going
to
address
that.
But
the
cac
report
was
instrumental
in
the
2018
work
around
the
conference
plan.
Amendment
for
dash
glendale
and
we've
already
alerted
the
planning
commission
to
that
fact,
and
we
will
certainly
be
making
that
part
of
the
staff
recommendation
on
threshold
review,
the
role
that
that
recommendation
played
and
what
it
sets
forward.
As
as
a
as
a
alternative
path
for
glendale.
E
Okay,
great
so
the
one
more
question
is,
and
I
know
that
we've
talked
a
lot
about
like
I
said,
on
the
affordable
housing,
it
would
be
good
for
both
the
planning,
but
wait.
Let
me
first
ask
an
introductory
question:
are
both
of
these
plan
amendments?
If
they
are
granted,
would
they
lead
to
higher
heights
and
or
higher
densities
on
both
parcels.
S
S
The
15
lake
bellevue
site
is
also
contemplating
not
only
in
in
their
desire
to
pursue
the
bror2
designation,
which
has
a
different
measure
of
far
and
higher
densities,
but
to
have
that
a
higher
building
height
and
that's
why
they've
also
asked
to
amend
the
policy
which
stipulates
a
45-foot
height
limit
on
brgc
properties,
they're
hoping
to
increase
that
height
limit
more
in
line
with
the
bro2
which
can
go
up
to?
I
believe
125
feet.
E
Okay,
that's
helpful
to
know
so
for
me,
if
we're
going
to
be
significantly
get
giving
more
far
more
height,
more
density,
particularly
for
developments
that
will
involve
residential.
I
would
personally
really
like
to
see
either
of
you
know,
a
big
requirement
for
affordable
housing
as
part
of
getting
to
that
density.
That's
how
we
set
belrad,
that's
kind
of
the
direction
the
city's
been
going
as
an
incentive,
so
it
would
be
good
for
both
council
and
the
planning
commission
to
have
an
understanding
of
what
we
can
and
what
we
cannot
do
through
the
comp
plan.
E
Whether
we
can
put
a
footnote
on
you
know
that
that
they
can
only
get
to
this
with
a
certain
percentage
of
affordable
housing
fee
and
lieu
whatever
it
is.
I
think
that
would
be
helpful
to
know
our
authority
on
that
and,
second
of
all,
if
if
we
have
the
authority
to
do
that,
I
think
it'd
be
really
important,
that
we
geographically
scope
this
appropriately,
because,
while
we're
pending
all
these
big
initiatives
that
are
still
yet
to
come,
I
don't
want
to
just
have
a
whole
bunch
of
one-offs.
So
you
know
so.
E
I
hope
that
the
planning
commission
will
look
very
closely
at
the
geographic
scoping,
particularly
if
we're
going
to,
if
there's
an
ability
to
have
a
incentive
for
affordable
housing
on
these
parcels
or
the
area
surrounding.
F
Yeah,
first
off,
I
want
to
also
thank
nicholas
for
all
the
work,
and
you
know
I
worked
with
him
going
on
nine
years
now
ever
nine
years
and
a
couple
of
things
I
really
remember
about
him
and
and
have
enjoyed,
is
being
with
him
at
meetings
going
out
to
the
community.
F
I
remember
one
particularly
a
long
meeting
at
newport
hills
a
long
time
ago
when
we
had
a
big
big
conversation
about,
I
think,
is
the
first
proposal
there
and
it
was
a
very
robust
community
engagement
and
I
was
there
to
I
think
this
first
year
when
I
was
married,
I
was
there
to
make
note
on
this,
but
I
stayed
for
the
whole
thing
and
it
was,
and
I
enjoyed
going
to
those
when
nicholas
always
ran
a
very
good
meeting
and
people
people
listened,
he
you
know
made
things
go
smoothly
in
the
meetings
to
the
extent
that
you
can,
when
you
have
people
who
are
really,
you
know
geared
up
about
things,
but
it
was-
and
I
think
he
applied
that
all
always
in
that-
and
the
other
thing
I
wanted
to
say
is
that
about
him.
F
Is
that-
and
I
guess
you
will
contin
you'll
be
here,
so
you
continue
to
work
on
this,
but
the
work
he's
done
on
the
bellevue
youth
symphony
has
just
been
amazing.
I
mean
he's
done
that
and
it's
it's
I've
always
enjoyed
going
to
those.
I
haven't
done
that
in
a
while,
but
again
just
another
facet
of
his
personality
and
the
work
he
does,
and
I
appreciate
that
very
very
much
and
the
other
thing
I
wanted
to
say
nicholas.
F
I
have
a
good
friend
who's
on
the
city
council
in
over
there
and
there
are
some
great
restaurants
there
that
he
he
and
I've
been
talking
about
going
to
once
we
get
through
this
pandemic,
but
I
think
you'll
find
some
new
venues
there,
which
will
be
interesting,
at
least
during
lunch
time,
so
best
wishes
to
you
and
great
great
career
and
you're
building
on
that
and
so
thankful.
What
the
the
legacy
you've
left,
bellevue
but
you'll
always
be
part
of
bellevue.
F
So
best
to
you,
I
you
know
I
I
was
prepared
to
say
a
lot
of
things
and
councilmember
robertson.
I
kind
of
have
this
thing
sometimes
where
it's
like
these
wavelengths
go.
You
know
together
and
I
I
really
appreciate
what
she
said
on
this,
and
I
think
that
this
is
a
is
an
opportunity
in
a
sense,
to
really
integrate
and
appreciate
what
emil
is
saying-
and
I
know
that
they're
working
on
these
different
pieces
and
putting
them
all
together
and
it's
it's
it's
a
it's.
F
It's
a
it's,
not
an
easy
task,
but
I'm
heartened
to
hear
that
these
things
are
moving
along,
and
it
seems
to
me
that
these
two
pieces
coming
now
will
give
the
planning,
commission
and
us
eventually
an
opportunity
to
really
look
a
little
deeper
in
what
is
going
on
in
wilberton
how
it
connects
to
the
other
parts
of
it
and
looking
at
the
overhaul
overall
piece.
But
it
to
me.
F
It
really
doesn't
make
sense
to
take
two
segments
in
the
wilberton
area
and
come
up
with
some
code
policy
and
all
just
for
them
without
considering
it
in
the
whole
context
of
the
wilberton
project,
which
is
just
again
a
very
amazing
thing.
That
will
happen,
and
so
I
think
we,
I
think,
we're
all
aware
that
whatever
happens
in
these
two
places
need
to
be
comprehend.
F
You
know
comprehensive
and
also
connected
with
the
rest
of
it,
and
I
thoroughly
agree
with
council
member
robertson
that
affordable
housing
is
a
prime
directive
and
these
two
areas,
two
two
projects,
offer
a
lot
of
potential
for
that
and
a
very
important
part,
and
it's
very
close
to
transit
development.
F
And
so
I
think
we
have
great
opportunity
to
work
with
the
two
developers
and
people
involved
in
the
community
to
do
something
really
amazing
and
enhance
their
property
at
the
same
time,
enhancing
the
city,
so
I'm
you
know,
excited
to
see
this
go
forward.
Thank
you.
G
G
You
can
take
over
how
many
miles
so
what's
the
international
line
of
shoreline,
I.
G
G
All
the
best
for
you,
I'm
sure
you
will
have
a
great
time
and
you
would
do
whatever
you
have
done
for
bellevue
and
you
know,
keep
up
the
good
work
all
right.
G
I
think
council
member
davidson
mentioned
that
we
know
we're
doing
these
two
pieces.
In
fact,
the
communication
with
her
from
the
public
glendale
mentioned
about
wilburton
and
wolverton
project
was
stalled,
and
then
you
know,
trans
member
robert
mentioned
very
appropriately
that
you
know
what's
happening
to
that.
My
question:
is
you
know
what
what
what
what
does
it
mean
if
we
don't
have
the
will,
but
little
bit
then
plan
look
at
we're
working
together
all
finished
while
we're
doing
this
separately.
G
You
know
with
two
pieces
of
property
what
what
yeah,
what
what
difference
would
that
be?
And,
of
course
we
would
prefer
you
to
have
the
wilburton
plan
to
get
going.
If
it's
one
of
the
highest
priority,
we
need
to
make
sure
we
do
that
and
it
just
so
I
don't
know
what
does
it
take?
You
know,
I
think,
that's
where
the
council
is
here
for
to
hopefully
will
help
you
to
to
figure
out.
G
You
know
how
to
make
this
work
the
all
in
one
piece
rather
than
separately,
and
then
they
may
have
other
complications
and
questions,
and
you
know
whatever
it
may
happen.
So
my
question
for
you
is
number
one:
what
impact
would
it
be?
Let's
stand
together
or
separately
two.
Why
can't
we
have
a
day
certain
plan
to
make
sure
this
work
within
plan
gets
going.
R
So
thanks
for
that
question,
councilmember
lee
we
have
been
looking
at
the
the
wilberton
plan
as
it
relates
to
these
projects.
R
As
mr
matt's
noted,
the
dash
site
is
just
on
the
eastern
edge
of
the
wilberton
area,
so
we
are
looking
at
the
proposal
right
now
to
go
from
r20
zoning
multi-family
medium
to
the
nmu
district
and
seeing
how
that
that
may
sync
up
with
the
the
wilberton
area
as
a
instructive
piece
again,
we
are
just
giving
introduction
to
the
council
tonight
we're
still
very
early
with
the
planning
commission
process.
R
That
being
said,
at
the
at
the
lake
bellevue
site,
we
we
have
looked
into
the
the
wolverton
vision
and
the
environmental
impact
statement
that
was
created
for
the
cac
work
as
you,
as
you
know,
the
that
area
in
and
around
lake
bellevue
has
some
critical
areas
had
some
soil
conditions,
so
those
all
come
into
play
when
we're
forming
our
staff
recommendation
about
the
ultimate
work
program
that
council
would
bless
or
not
so
come
april.
We
think
we'll
have
more
for
council
to
consider.
R
G
Thank
you.
Ideally,
we
can
speed
up
the
wilburton
work
and
then
the
two
can
kind
of
integrate
into
the
whole
picture
so
that
we
don't
have
to.
You
know,
try
to
figure
out
when
versus
the
other,
and
you
know
what
decision
we
make
and
you
know
figure
out
other
things
separately,
but
anyway
you
heard
us
and
we
will
really
appreciate
you
know
coming
with
some
certain
plans
and
schedules.
Thank
you.

Thank
you
for
the
heads
up
and
I
would
say
that
nicholas
31
years
we
have
been
blessed
that
you
have
chosen
to
stay
in
bellevue
for
31
years
and
help
us
with
all
of
the
the
land
use
work
that
you
have
developed,
and
so
I
fully
expect
that
normandy
park
will
be
blessed
with
your
knowledge
and
expertise
as
they
do
their
work
down
there,
and
so
I
wish
you
all
the
best
down
there
and
recognizing
that
you'll
still
be
a
bellevueite,
that
you
won't
be
a
stranger
to
us,
and
so
we
look
forward
to
maybe
running
into
you
in
the
grocery
store
with
that
said,
thank
you.
L
Yeah,
I
echo
the
comments
from
the
council
that
you
know.
I
think
it
would
be
really
helpful
to
get
an
understanding
of
right
as
we
as
we
look
at
all
of
the
land
use
work
that
is
ahead
of
us
from
the
bellred.
Look
back.
Wilberton
east
main,
really
understanding
that
the
road
map
and
the
timing,
so
that
we
can
better
understand
what
the
staff
are
thinking
about
as
well,
and
then
the
comment
about
affordable
housing
and
making
sure
that
we
do
not
lose
opportunity
to
make
sure
that
our
land
use
code
really
facilitates
that.
L
Now
with
that
said,
I
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
that
we
don't
continue
to
say
to
an
organization
like
dash
that
you
want
to
do
the
right
thing,
but
let's
just
keep
waiting
because
wilburton
we're
going
to
be
working
on
it.
But
you
know
a
few
more
years
pass.
So
I
do
think
it's
a
balance
of
looking
at
how
we
plan
out
the
work,
so
we
can
move
forward
and
that
those
that
are
ready
to
go
that
we
don't
just
continue
to
tell
them
to
wait.
L
C
Thank
you
mayor.
First
of
all,
very
nice
words
for
your
departing
colleague.
There
I
think
nicholas
even
got
a
little,
maybe
a
little
choked
up
there
hearing
some.
C
Words
because
we're
gonna
miss
you,
though
I
know
I
am.
I
haven't,
had
a
chance
to
work
with
you
as
long
as
of
my
colleagues,
but
have
always
greatly
respected
your
professionalism
and
your
you
certainly
do
leave
a
long
legacy
of
31
years
here
in
bellevue,
so
normally
park
is
certainly
very
very
lucky
to
have
you
and
I'm
so
glad
you're
still
staying
in
bellevue.
Although
I
disagree
with
my
colleague,
councilmember
stokes
spend
all
your
money
in
bellevue,
don't
spend
it
in
normandy
park.
Okay,
we've.
C
C
But
best
of
luck
to
you
really
really
excited
for
you
and
this
new
opportunity
and
and
and
we'll
miss
you
yeah.
I
will
echo
just
the
some
of
the
comments
made
with
my
colleagues
already
so
yes
interested
in
as
it
relates
to
the
bellred
look
back,
wilburton,
etc.
Yes,
interested
in
the
tod,
as
relates
to
affordable
housing,
glad
to
hear
that
there's
also
an
environmental
impact
as
part
of
the
threshold
review
with
the
planning
commission.
So
I
look
forward
to
hearing
more
about
that.
C
As
that
comes
back
to
us,
and
you
know,
the
planning
commission
is
able
to
dig
into
this
a
little
bit,
but
thank
you
so
much
for
for
the
update
and
for
the
information
and
look
forward
to
this
coming
back
to
us.
Is
it
in
april?
Is
that
the
timeline
emil?
S
Well,
thank
you.
I
just
seized
a
moment
here
to
be
able
to
address
all
of
you
with
I
I'm
honored
to
have
served
this
community.
I
think
that
doesn't
go
without
saying,
but
I
also
felt
fortunate
to
be
able
to
learn
from
everybody
that
I
worked
with
or
for
across
path.
Council
members
plan,
commissioners,
stakeholders,
staff-
it's
it's
just
it's
just
an
amazing
time
to
be
able
to
have
had
so
much
opportunity
to
learn
from
so
many
of
you
and
learn
about
what
makes
bellevue
such
a
great
place.
I
will
stay
here.
S
Fun
fact:
number
two
normandy
park
was
incorporated
in
the
same
month
and
year
as
bellevue,
and
I
see
my
desire
and
my
willingness
to
get
down
and
get
grubby
with
neighbors,
just
as
all
of
you
done
and
councilmember
stokes.
I
do
remember
that
evening
in
newport
hill,
just
that's
an
opportunity
to
continue
to
serve
our
communities,
and
I
appreciate
what
I've
learned
from
all
of
you
and
the
ability
for
me
to
continue
this
legacy
of
serving
our
community.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you
all
very
much.
S
A
A
Is
a
coda
okay,
so
I
am
concerned
about
lake
bellevue
being
that
it's
a
kettle,
like
any
environmental
impacts,
that
additional
development
will
have
there,
but
I
know
that
that
will
probably
be
covered
at
the
planning
commission,
but
let's
make
sure
that
they
look
into
that
please,
and
then
I
just
want
to
describe
that
dash
property
a
little
bit,
because
I
I
have.
I
have
personal
knowledge
of
it.
A
Having
worked
seeing
clients
in
there
for
many
many
years,
and
it
is
the
only
facility
in
bellevue
that
provides
independent
and
assisted
living
and
takes
medicaid,
so
it
is
really
already
serving
an
affordable
housing
need
that
we
have
in
bellevue.
A
So
I'm
very
happy
to
hear
that
there
are
plans
to
put
more
affordable
housing
here,
but
it
better.
It
should
actually
surpass
what
we
already
have
there
and
I
I
dearly
hope
that
it
serves
the
community
as
it
is
serving
and
even
more
so
that
what's
that
is
happening
now,
because
we
have
so
many
people
who
live
in
our
aging
in
bellevue
and
it's
so
nice
for
them
to
be
able
to
go
someplace
like
that
that
they
can
afford
and
stay
in
the
community.
A
So
there's
a
real
need
for
a
facility
like
that
in
terms
of
wilberton,
it's
nice
that
we
tucked
this
property
into
the
wilberton
area.
I'm
excited
to
see
the
plans
finalized
for
wilberton.
It
is
on
the
periphery
of
our
wilberton
plans.
It's
a
very
unique
property.
It's
not
does
there
are
no
single
family
homes
around
it
and
it's
it's
on
a
busy
street,
it's
on
eighth
and
it
is
in
a
major
tod,
both
from
light
rail
perspective
and
brt.
A
So
personally,
I
don't
have
any
problems
going
high
in
this
property,
even
maybe
higher
than
the
wilburton
zoning
might
allow,
just
because
it
is
a
unique
placement
in
in
bellevue.
So
I
hope
that
we
can
look
at
it
in
the
unique
guy
with
a
unique
eye
that
it
has
and
and
treat
it
in
the
way
that
maximizes
the
opportunities
that
are
available
there.
So
that's
that's
my
only
feedback.
A
M
Yes,
mayor
council
members
resolution
9890
is
a
the
second
is
in
a
second,
as
a
second
amendment
to
the
ebsca
interlocal
agreement
and
just
by
way
of
background
on
the
puget
sound
emergency
radio
network,
also
known
as
eastern,
is
upgrading
and
replacing
the
county-wide
emergency
public
safety
radio
network,
which
is
overseen
by
four
voting
members
who
make
up
the
peace
earned
board.
M
This
was
last
presented
to
you
earlier
this
year
in
terms
of
pcern
itself
on
the
east
side,
public
safety
communications
agency
ebsco,
is
one
of
the
four
members
and
is
to
select
one
piece
earned
board
representative
that
represents
ebsco
and
as
well
as
an
alternate,
and
to
facilitate
this,
it's
necessary
to
update
the
current
ebsc
interlocal
agreement.
M
We
are
looking
for
direction
tonight
by
way
of
resolution,
9890,
which
authorizes
execution
of
the
ebsco
second
amended
and
restated
ebsco
in
your
local
agreement
and
with
a
quick
presentation
and
answering
questions
that
council
may
have
is
fire
chief,
jay,
hagan
and
I'll
turn
it
over
to
him
for
a
brief
presentation.
T
Jay
good
evening,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor
newinghouse,
members
of
council
and
city
manager
miyaki,
if
it's
okay,
I've
shared
my
screen,
can
you
let
me
know
that
you
can
see
it.
T
Thank
you.
I
have
a
brief
presentation
for
you
this
evening
and
I
would
ask
council's
direction
on
adopting
resolution
9890
authorizing
the
execution
of
the
ebsca,
which
is
eastside
public
safety,
communication
agency
second
amended
and
restated
ebsco
ila.
T
So
that's
that's
quite
a
mouthful.
So
let
me
try
to
break
that
down
for
you
a
little
bit
to
give
you
a
little
history.
T
Council
authorized
peace
earned
ila's
in
both
february
of
2015
and
october
of
2020,
and
this
basically
ensured
our
participation
in
the
newer
county-wide,
updated
radio
system
and
tonight's
business
is
about
establishing
our
representation
on
the
new
governance
board
called
the
pcern
operator
board.
Pcern
is
an
acronym
that
stands
for
public
safety.
Emergency.
T
Excuse
me:
public
safety,
emergency
radio
network,
and
if
you
can
draw
your
attention
to
this
graphic
ebsca,
we
have
been
part
owners
of
the
east
side,
radio
system
for
many
many
years
and
our
partners
in
that
arrangement
have
been
kirkland,
issaquah,
mercer,
island
and
redmond,
and
as
ebsco
members,
we
will
jointly
be
sending
one
representative
from
ebsco
to
the
new
board,
the
new
peace
earned
board,
and
so,
as
city
manager
miaki
just
mentioned.
T
There
are
four
voting
members
in
the
governance
arrangement
ebsca,
which
is
our
shared
vote
city
of
seattle,
king
county
and
valleycom,
which
is
all
of
the
cities
and
towns
in
southern
king
county.
There
are
also
two
non-voting
members,
king
county
fire
chiefs
and
king
county
police
chiefs,
and
so
again
the
business
tonight
is
about
securing
our
representation
on
the
new
p
cern
board,
and
with
that
I
would
ask
your
guidance
on
the
adoption
of
resolution
authorizing
the
execution
of
the
east
side,
public
safety,
communications
agency,
ebsca
second
amended
and
restated
ebsco
ila.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
Let's
I'll
count
count
on
council
members
I'll.
Let
you
raise
your
hand
if
you
have
a
comment
or
question,
you
know,
do
something:
everybody,
okay,
starting
with
deputy
mayor
noon,
house.
C
Thank
you,
jay
thanks
for
the
great
presentation
chief
hagin.
I
just
want
one
question
regarding
so
the
ebsco
members.
So
it's
not
a
bellevue
specific
vote.
It's
it's
we're
part
of
what
five
versus
six
members
here,
five
members,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that,
in
voting
on
anything
in
particular
as
it
relates
to
the
other
piece
earned
members
that
bellevue's
interest
can
still
be
heard
and
won't
be
muted
by
by
the
other
members.
So
is
our
relationship
with
the
other
members
for
something
like
this
is?
C
T
Thank
you,
deputy
mayor
newton
house.
Yes,
I
attend
the
meetings.
The
ebsco
meetings
regularly
on
behalf
of
city
manager,
miyake.
The
partnerships
on
this
are
strong,
we're
all
tracking
the
same
issues.
The
city
manager
of
kirkland
is
the
current
rep
ebsco
lead
to
the
pcern
board.
T
We
all
share
a
common
interest
in
in
watching
what's
happening,
and
I
think
that
the
relationships
are
strong
and
our
voice,
you
know,
will
be
heard
along
with
our
neighbors
in
this
arrangement.
C
C
A
Any
opposed
okay,
great,
thank
you.
So
this
concludes
the
public
portion
of
tonight's
meeting.
We're
going
to
recess
for
executive
session
for
approximately
30
minutes
to
discuss
a
matter
of
pending
litigation
pursuant
to
rcw
4230
110
1.
A
I
I
think
it
is,
and
so
we
will
have
our
next
meeting
next
tuesday,
because
next
monday
is
a
holiday
and
so
we
are
and
we
will
be
adjourned
from
the
exec.
The
meeting
will
be
adjourned
from
executive
session,
so
we
will
leave
you
now
and
council
members.
If
you
go
back
to
your
email
that
got
you
to
the
meeting
tonight,
there's
another
link
that
will
get
you
to
the
executive
session
and
I
will
see
you
there.
Thank.
