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
A
A
Let's
see,
japan
came
in
first,
I
think
they
were
an
all-women
team
and
the
the
first
time
they
had
ever
placed
in
an
event
and
and
then
it
was
you
representing
the
united
states
and
then
france
in
the
united
kingdom.
So
we
are
so
impressed
that
you
pulled
that
off.
We
were
following
your
progress
in
the
regional
competition
and
then
the
national
competition
and
now
the
international-
and
I
couldn't
believe
when
we
got
this
email.
A
So
we
wanted
to
invite
you
to
step
up
to
the
microphone,
and
actually
I
did
want
to
mention
the
people
who
are
who,
on
their
team
and
I'll,
try
to
say
their
names
right.
So
we
had
aunt,
arthur
goats,
samuel,
chen,
rita,
lou
rose,
lou,
brandon
lau.
Is
it
lao
or
lou?
A
B
C
So
I'm
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
national
competition
first,
so
our
team
competed
in
virginia
at
the
american
rocky
challenge
and
we
managed
to
place
first
beating
out
723
other
teams
and
each
flight
is
based
off
of
two
criteria:
flight
altitude
and
flight
duration
and
the
more
points
you
score.
The
lower
you
place.
So
we
managed
to
have
the
lowest
score
out
of
all
those
723
teams
and
our
school
actually
made
history
having
being
the
first
school
to
have
two
teams
placed
first
and
second
at
the
competition.
C
So
the
other
team
which
represented
newport
placed
second,
unfortunately,
they
weren't
able
to
come
to
the
international
competition
with
us,
but
yeah.
D
Yeah,
so
at
the
international
competition
it
was
at
farnborough
air
show,
as
rosie
mentioned,
and
we
had
to
launch
this
rocket
to
a
height
of
835
feet,
which
is
over
200
feet
higher
than
the
space
needle
and
yeah.
D
So
at
the
competition
we
had
to
look
at
the
data
that
we
gathered
throughout
the
year
to
determine
how
much
mass
we
should
add
to
the
rocket
to
make
it
go
higher
or
lower,
and
we
also
had
to
like
assemble
the
rocket
put
it
on
the
rail,
which
is
I
mean
we
had
to
take
it
to
the
middle
of
the
airfield
and
then
set
it
up
and
lodge
it.
D
Our
rocket
actually
went
to
a
height
of
I
think
it
was
860
feet
or
760
feet,
sorry,
and
that
was
the
second
best
score
out
of
the
four
teams
there.
So
yeah.
We
got
second
place.
The
new.
E
Yeah
and
on
top
of
the
launch
component,
there
was
also
a
presentation
component
of
the
challenge
and
to
practice
for
that
we
had
a
ton
of
practices
working
with
all
our
friends
family
alumni
from
the
club,
and
everyone
worked
super
hard
together
to
get
us
there
and
it
paid
off.
We
got
an
almost
perfect
score
of
19
out
of
20
on
the
presentation
part
which
is
the
highest
in
the
history
of
the
competition,
so
we're
pretty
proud
of
that.
B
As
we
look
back
into
a
year,
our
team
has
been
through
countless
challenges
that
we
have
worked
together
to
overcome
to
achieve
our
dreams
of
having
lasting
impacts
on
this
world.
As
engineers
we
know
we
must
embrace
our
failures,
learn
from
our
mistakes
and
fearlessly
take
on
the
next
challenge.
Thank
you,
everyone
for
listening
to
us
very
nice.
Let's
give
them
a
hand.
A
Thank
you
for
representing
bellevue,
so
well,
do
you
have
anyone
from
your
school
with
you
that
we
can
do
the
picture
with
as
well
yeah
brandon
all
right?
Let's
get
brandon.
A
A
H
Now,
therefore,
I,
on
behalf
of
lynne,
robinson
mayor
of
bellevue
washington,
on
behalf
of
the
city
council,
do
hereby
proclaim
august
31st
2022
as
international

bellevue,
encouraging
residents
to

the
growing
number
of
neighbors
who
have
lost
loved

to
an
overdose
or
are
battling
a
substance.
Use
disorder
themselves,
signed
lynn,
lynn,
robinson
mayor.
A
A
It's
james
mclean
and
our
family
worked
with
him
for
14
years
with
our
daughter,
which
wasn't
easy,
and
you
know
just
just
seeing
the
he.
He
was
embodying
equity
diversity.
Inclusion
before
we
even
knew
what
those
words
meant.
He
everybody
got
a
part.
Everybody
had
an
opportunity.
People
learned
to
work
with
each
other.
People
learned
to
appreciate
tolerate,
embrace
support,
and
you
know
you
did
it
all
with
love
and
it
wasn't
easy.
You
know
you
asked
a
lot
of
the
kids.
A
A
So,
whereas
community
services
supervisor
james
mclean
began
his
career
at
the
city
of
bellevue
in
1990
and
whereas
james
recently
retired
from
the
city
of
bellevue
after
32
years
of
dedicated
service,
creating
an
award-winning
youth,
theater
program
at
the
bellevue
youth
theater
and
whereas
over
the
course
of
his
career
in
bellevue,
james
worked
with
three
different
parks
and
community
services,
directors
and
many
staff
to
positively
impact
the
community.
And
whereas
in
his
position
at
the
bellevue
youth
theater
james
successfully
collaborated
with
youth
and
adults
in
a
unique
inclusive
approach.
A
Ensuring
bellevue
theater
is
a
place
where
everyone
has
a
role
and
whereas
over
the
course
of
more
than
a
hundred,
shows
james
effectively
taught
youth
that
they
have
eat,
that
they
each
have
innate
value
and
something
to
contribute.
And
whereas,
as
a
leader
who
championed
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion.
James
ushered.
In
an
era
of
compassionate
program.
Innovation
focused
on
removing
barriers
to
participation
for
all.
And
whereas
james
has
been
a
valued
colleague
to
countless
city
staff
and
a
mentor
to
employees
and
community
members.
A
Both
in
bellevue
and
beyond
his
creativity
and
dedication
working
with
the
community
will
be
remembered
now.
Therefore,
I
lynne
robinson
and
on
behalf
of
the
bellevue
city
council,
due
this
first
day
of
august
in
the
year
2022
hereby
commend
james

for
his
professionalism,
dedication
and
long-standing
service
to
the
bellevue
community
councilmember
lee
thank.
G
You,
madam
mayor,
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
say
a
few
words.
What
can
we
say
right?
You
know
I
could
have
probably
spent
hours
talking
about
you,
but
you
know,
as
the
mayor
already
said,
very
you
know
wonderful.
You
know
attributions
to
your
contribution,
so
I
would
keep
it
as
the
same
as
possible.
G
You
know
you
have
been
working
on
behalf
of
all
the
young
people
of
everywhere,
not
just
city
bellevue,
but
from
all
the
whole
region,
and
not
even
just
the
young
people
but
their
families
and,
as
the
mayor
said,
you
know
not
just
because
you
are
open
to
families
of
all
kinds.
All
people
all
abilities,
you
know
they
all
have
a
space,
have
a
place
in
your
play
and
that's
what
you
do
you
dedicate
your
entire
over
30
years.
G
You
know
to
this
project
and
I've
been
there
for
most
of
it,
29
of
them
probably,
and
I've
known
the
families.
You
know
who
are
physically
mentally
and
disabled,
disabled
young
kids,
who
are
shy
with
only
two
three-year-old
baby
and
older
youth
same
way,
but
they
all
have
a
role
in
your
play.
They
all
have
a
role
to
play
in
your
activities
and
they
never
feel
that
they
are
not
wanted.
They
are
neglected.
G
It's
amazing
and
the
people
who
came
in
without
saying
anywhere
just
sitting
there
and
just
be
part
of
the
play
yeah
they
mature.
They
learn.
They
feel
that
it's
safe.
That's
what
we're
all
talking
about.
When
we
talk
about
you
know
social
equity
justice
for
is
you
play
you
give
to
everybody
a
place,
that's
safe,
they
feel
comfortable,
they
feel
they
want
it.
They
belong
and
they
are
valued
and
they
can
actually
contribute
as
they
go
through
their
life.
G
You
know
in
your
in
your
activities
and
the
proof
is
in
the
pudding
and
many
of
the
young
people.
I
know
who
are
shy,
who
didn't
do
very
much
who,
on
the
street
kids,
they
became
engineers
for
boeing
company,
they
become
military
soldiers
overseas
and
it's
amazing
what
they
learned
from
you.
You
know
they
sit
on
the
technology
side,
how
to
learn
how
to
work
on
the
lighting
that's
ever
setting
and
all
that
stuff.
G
G
A
Okay,
do
I
have
a
motion
to
approve
the
agenda.
A
F
You
mayor
excuse
me
this
evening.
There
are
eight
pre-registered
speakers
for
oral
communications,
so,
if
you
bear
with
me,
I
have
a
couple
of
things
to
notify
the
public
of
so
first
pursuant
to
council
rules,
oral
communications
is
allowed
for
a
maximum
of
30
minutes.
Speakers
are
given
up
to
three
minutes
to
speak
and
only
three
speakers
are
allowed
to
speak
to
one
side
of
a
particular
topic.
F
The
unique
thing
about
tonight
is:
I
need
to
point
out
that
there
are
two
public
hearings
on
the
council's
agenda
later
tonight.
The
first
public
hearing
is
on
the
city's
2023
to
2024
budget
and
23
to
29
capital
improvement
program
plan.
The
second
public
hearing
is
on
a
potential
land
use
code,
amendment
eliminating
the
quasi-judicial
appeals
to
the
city
council
from
hearing
examiner
decisions
and
recommendations
on
process
one
and
process
three
land
use
appeals
since
the
council
will
be
holding
public
hearings
as
part
of
tonight's
agenda.
F
F
If
you
have
signed
up
incorrectly
for
oral
communications,
when
I
call
your
name
just,
please
indicate
that
your
comments
are
related
to
either
the
budget
or
the
land
use
code.
Amendment
and
I'll
remove
your
name
from
oral
communications
and
place
it
under
the
public
hearing
and
the
public
hearings
will
be
held
for
your
information
under
items
9a
and
9b,
and
with
that
I'm
going
to
call
our
first
speaker
for
oral
communications,
which
is
elizabeth,
kronoff
and
miss
kronoff
is
joining
us
virtually
ms
kronoff.
Can
you
hear
me?
I
I
I
I'd
like
to
share
some
of
my
experience
in
places
like
russia,
afghanistan,
tanzania,
among
others,
the
first
among
them
is.
I
learned
that
trees
around
the
world
signify
wealth
and
organization.
Trees
are
for
everyone.
I
don't
mean
that
trees
are
this
abstract
symbol
from
tiny
villages
to
large
cities.
They
represent
the
tangible
result
of
specific
actions
that
communities
take
to
maintain
their
shade,
their
food,
their
fuel
and
their
quality
of
life.
I
Leafy
canopies
mean
that
nobody
has
stolen
the
trees
to
sell
us
lumber
fruit,
bearing
orchards
mean
that
someone
in
the
village
was
looking
out
to
nurture
an
investment
for
years
into
the
future.
When
you
see
trees
in
every
little
courtyard,
you
know
that
people
are
able
to
weather
hard
times
depending
on
one
another
and
they
don't
have
to
cut
down
their
trees
for
cash
or
cheap
fuel.
I
We
in
bellevue
are
far
more
privileged
than
many
of
the
people
I
worked
with
around
the
world,
but
we
still
face
the
same
economic
pressures
that
people
face
worldwide
and
we
do
see
people
cutting
down
trees.
Everybody
has
their
own
compelling
reason
to
cut
just
one
tree
or
clear
just
one
lot,
so
I'm
asking
the
city
council
not
just
to
adopt
the
trees
for
livability
plan
but
to
find
ways
to
work
with
us
developers
and
individuals
to
incentivize
tree
cover
as
a
priority
again.
I
F
J
Is
this
the
appropriate
time
to
speak
to
the
last
item
on
the
agenda
this
evening?
Yes,.
F
J
Okay,
well,
members
of
the
council.
Thank
you
very
much,
david
toyer
with
twitter,
strategic
advisors,
we're
a
land
use
and
economic
development,
consulting
firm
and
we're
working
with
the
brackets,
who
have
a
piece
of
property
up
in
cougar
mountain,
that's
in
your
potential
annexation
area
and
not
in
the
city
limits.
Yet
they
have
joined
with
another
parcel
or
another
owner
of
some
parcels
up
there
and
submitting
a
10
petition
for
annexation
for
your
consideration
tonight.
J
Note
in
the
staff
report
staff
has
recommended
that
the
council
deny
the
requested
10
petition.
We
really
would
urge
you
to
support
it.
Staff's
main
concern
was
time
allocated
to
the
annexation
in
their
overall
workload,
our
company
works
on
probably
a
half
a
dozen
annexations
every
year
up
and
down
the
i5
corridor
in
counties
and
cities
and
we've
you
know
it's
not
something.
That
is
a
day-to-day
task
that
staff
would
have
to
work
on.
J
We
really
would
encourage
this.
This
is
an
opportunity
for
the
city
to
fill
out
the
rest
of
its
uga
and
annex
the
last
piece
of
its
potential
annexation
areas,
and
it's
an
opportunity
for
at
least
in
our
particular
case,
the
brackets,
to
have
some
certainty
as
to
the
availability
of
utilities
to
their
property
right
now.
They
don't
have
that
certainty,
and
neither
does
anybody
else
that's
in
this
area,
so
we
really
would
strongly
request
your
consideration
of
accepting
this
10
petition
and
moving
the
annexation
forward
without
it
we'll
be
back.
J
I'm
sure
other
points
in
the
future
to
look
at
other
ways
to
try
to
address
the
ability
to
serve
this
area
with
utilities
and
provide
some
housing.
That's
part
of
your
overall
ability,
as
a
city
to
you
know,
put
out
there.
Many
different
types
of
housing
options
for
those
that
seek
to
live
in
bellevue
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
have
this
evening,
but
we
would
appreciate
your
support.
F
K
Thanks
so
much
good
evening,
council
mayor
coming.
K
To
you
from
my
parents,
someone
you
wanted
to
touch
on
a
couple
of
items
on
the
agenda.
First
of
all,
I
wanted
to
express
strong
support
for
councilmember
robertson's,
ask
in
item
7b.
K
I
feel
very
uncomfortable
with
our
police
department
being
asked
to
act
as
essentially
bounty
hunters
for
other
states
who
are
chasing
women
seeking
abortions.
So,
yes,
please
support
that.
Ask
item
12a
the
cougar
mountain
property
annexation.
K
It
really
kills
me
because
I
don't
want
to
say
no
to
sister
neighborhoods,
but
given
what
given,
how
stretched
community
development
and
development
services
have
have
been
given
everything
that
I've
seen
on
the
agenda
and
on
the
workload
you
know
coming
up
with
the
wilberton
vision,
the
comp
plan
update
everything
unless
there's
something
urgent
emerging
about
all
of
that.
I
would
really
encourage
you
to
say
no
not
this
year
but
encourage
those
folks
to
come
back
in
2024
after
the
comp
plan
update
has
been
completed.
K
I
just
don't
think,
there's
time
for
it
and
then
speaking
of
the
comp
plan,
update
with
you
guys,
are
going
into
your
august
break,
but
during
your
august
break,
there
are
going
to
be
two
more
of
the
deep
dives
for
the
public
on
the
comp
plan
and
I
have
concern
about
who
is
providing
input.
You
know
our
comp
plan
update
is
supposed
to
reflect
the
input
of
those
who
reside
in
and
own
and
or
own
businesses
here
operate
businesses.
K
Wilberton
resident
phyllis
white
asked
miss
brook
broad
from
community
development
development
if
there
was
a
way
to
limit
input
only
to
residents
or
to
at
least
tell
where
it's
coming
from
and
phyllis
was
told.
No,
but
you
know
the
nap
process
is
able
to
limit
input
only
to
the
residents
of
the
targeted
neighborhoods
on
through
mailers
about
meetings
and
and
voting
only
by
mailed
ballots.
K
F
F
L
You
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
during
the
council
meeting,
so
I
would
like
to
raise
my
voice
in
support
of
updating
the
city
tree
removal
code.
So,
as
we
all
know,
the
city
population
is
growing
due
to
large
companies
expanding
their
presence.
In
belly
view,
the
traffic
through
the
city
streets
is
consistently
increasing.
L
Also,
we
have
two
major
interstate
highways
coming
through
the
city
that
are
consistently
congested,
so
the
air
pollution
is
increasing
on
one
hand.
On
the
other
hand,
we
observe
that
a
lot
of
older
houses
built
in
maybe
50s
60s
are
replaced
by
larger
houses
and
what
it
usually
results
in
is
removal
on
the
trees
from
a
lot
that
is
not
that
was
not
allocated
to
support
a
bigger
house.
L
Usually,
the
cows
would
occupy,
like
80
90
percent
of
the
a
lot
with
a
small
area
remaining
and
it
would
be
covered
with
either
grass
or
small
shrubs
or
in
the
best
case
scenario
the
small
trees
will
be
planted
over
there
as
we
on
that's
like
on
one
hand.
On
the
other
hand,
we
observed
another
thing
that
about
300
trees
were
removed
from
the
148th
avenue.
L
So,
as
we
know,
the
smaller
trees,
especially
deciduous
trees,
don't
clean
the
air
as
as
good
as
the
old
gross
evergreen
conifers
so
and
losing
those
300
trees
and
observing
consistent,
replacing
older,
smaller
houses
and
older
trees
with
smaller,
shrubs
or
smaller
trees
raises
my
concern
that
eventually
our
tree-like
park-like
city
will
look
more
like
and
like,
where
lots
covered
with
large
houses.
L
Almost
no
trees
remaining
for
shade,
and
this
temperature
in
summer
is
rising
people,
animals
and
even
cars
on
the
parking.
Lots
are
looking
for
shade
and
that's
another
reason
why
keeping
old
gross
trees
in
place
is
kind
of
very,
very
important
for
the
city
for
people
living
in
it
and
for
everybody
coming
to
enjoy
our
city
in
summer
or
winter.
So,
thank
you
so
much
and
hope
you'll
support
updating
the
trip
removal
code
in
the
future.
Thank
you.
M
M
Chapter
26
44
is
the
abuse
statute
for
the
state
of
washington,
the
declarative
purpose
of
that
statute
under
zero
one
zero.
The
child's
interest
is
supposed
to
prevail
over
locust
parentai.
That
would
be
the
school
district.
We
have
documented
child
abuse
for
ten
years
staff
and
students
when
we
go
to
that
same
statute,
a
sequence
to
zero
three
zero
teachers
are
one
a
I
am
1d.
M
I
have
tried
to
report
and
been
obstructed
by
bellevue
police
police
department
and
conspiracy
with
bellevue
school
district.
We
have
experienced,
and
I
also
want
to
point
out
that
the
school-to-prison
pipeline
is
a
pipeline.
It's
a
trafficking
system
of
child
abusing
teachers,
police
officers,
prosecutors
and
even
judges.
M
M
Furthermore,
what
is
so
disturbing
is
that
when
I
went
for
an
order
of
protection
today,
a
judge
told
me
that
I
didn't
have
the
right
to
protect
my
daughter.
My
daughter
is
not
the
property
of
the
bellevue
school
district.
I
have
a
fundamental
right
under
the
14th
amendment
to
protect
my
daughter,
and
she
has
a
fundamental
right
to
education,
equal
protection
and
due
process.
What
you
guys
are
doing
in
violation
of
26440.
M
Where
it
says,
immunity
from
civil
or
criminal
liability,
you
guys
are
preventing
prosecutions
of
teachers
by
at
bellevue
police
department.
You
are
further
where
it
says,
does
not
apply
to
a
person
who
caused
or
allowed
child
abuse
or
neglect
to
occur
with
documentation
of
explicit
abuse.
I
even
have
an
email
with
steve
steven
mylett,
the
former
chief
of
police,
to
brad
miyake,
saying
to
ignore
the
child,
abuse
and
endangerment,
medical
neglect,
traumatic,
brain
injury.
My
daughter
is
so
afraid,
she's
agoraphobic,
okay.
M
N
Stop
them
nazi
fascist
smash,
banjit.
I
speak
right
now
to
everybody
who
listen
to
me
tomorrow,
election.
We
need
bring
america
back
to
normal,
stop
this
fascism.
What
has
got
bigger
and
bigger
every
day.
I
give
you
classic
example
right
now
what
is
show
how
democrat
acting
like
a
dirty
garbage
rats

council
guys?
I
have
a
many
trespasses.
It's
not
a
point
point
is
everything
starts
looking
idiotic
because
they
got
deeper
and
deeper.
So
what's
happened
almost
10
year
ago,
seattle,
council
stopped
constitution.
Open
public
meeting
act

something.
What
is
everybody
publicly
talk
alex
zimmerman

next
year?
Can
country
accept
this
too
next
year?
Sound
transit?
Accept
you
guys,
my
question
to
everybody,
go
to
morality,
election
and
don't
vote
for
democrat
because
they
are
pure
bank.
N
I
don't
care
about
campaign.
I
talk
about
everybody,
I
don't
have
campaign.
I
have
nine
campaign,
nobody
vote
for
me.
I'm
not
care
about
this,
so
situation.
Very
simple
right
now.
Thank
you
for
your
correction,
this
exactly
you'd
change
from
five
minutes
to
three
minutes
a
few
years
ago.
Only
because
me
I
speak
right
now
to
everybody.
Guys,
democrats
are
mafia,
abandoned
they
bring
us
to
war.
This
will
world
war.
Three
start
right
now,
only
question,
whereas
we
come
to
atomic
bomb.
You
know
what
this
mean
and
destroy.
America
totally
stand
up
american
stop.
O
Now,
thank
you,
hello,
mayor
deputy
mayor
and
council
members.
My
name
is
suzanne
labeouf,
I'm
going
to
speak
this
really
fast.
I
live
in
wilburton.
I
have
worked
as
a
mental
health,
clinician,
a
university
instructor
teaching
human
services
courses
and
chemical
dependency
counselor.
My
comments
are
about.
Excuse
me
homelessness
and
drug
addiction.
O
I
agree
that
providing
less
expensive
forms
of
sheltering
initially
for
the
unhoused,
such
as
safe
parking
programs
or
high
grade
tents
in
a
designated
area,
for
example,
could
be
the
start
of
a
long
process
of
truly
helping
people
who
are
chronically
homeless
recovery
takes
time.
I
suggest
possibly
creating
an
initial
staging
site
where
people
are
allowed
to
park
their
cars
and
live
in
high
quality
tents,
providing
showers,
laundry
and
toilet
facilities
would
meet
the
basic
hygienic
needs
of
human
beings.
O
These
initial
staging
sites
could
provide
intensive
medical
and
case
management
services,
for
example,
as
well
as
working
with
residents
on
their
goals.
They
could
be
in
a
graduated
step
program
with
inducements
of
better
housing
toward
the
end
of
their
signed
agreements.
Initially,
getting
off
drugs
is
challenging,
so
I
envision
harm
reduction
as
being
an
initial
step
in
treatment,
but
not
used
over
a
specific
limited
amount
of
time
under
a
doctor's
supervision.
O
Harm
reduction
by
itself
continues
the
addictive
process
so
that
people
become
even
more
addicted
over
time.
Continued
harm
reduction
is
the
path
of
a
slow
and
painful
suicide.
Harm
reduction
does
not
help
addicted
people.
Addictions
do
not
go
away
by
the
continued
use
of
drugs,
I'm
an
advocate
of
longer
and
more
intensive
drug
treatment
programs.
A
more
informed
leadership
should
know
that
addictions
increase
the
longer
that
drugs
are
used.
Housing
first
is
a
problem.
O
Problematic
policy,
low
barrier
housing
should
be
reserved
as
a
reward
for
people
who
have
graduated
from
participation
in
long
informed,
well-supported
individual
processes,
utilizing
treatment
and
care
agreements.
They
should
be
able
to
look
forward
to
better
housing
as
a
reward
for
their
work
and
should
not
have
to
fend
off
the
influence
of
drug
use
around
their
dwellings.
O
Let's
take
care
of
people
and
their
chronic
homeless
problems.
Otherwise,
we
aren't
solving
the
problem.
We
are
housing,
people
in
a
chaotic
and
low
barrier
hotel,
where
drug
use
and
chronic
mental
illness
continues
and
is
not
properly
treated,
don't
give
people
a
choice
to
keep
using
and
stay
untreated.
They
should
be
designated
as
gravely
disabled
and
treated
as
such
low
barrier.
Shelter
sheltering
will
only
enable
the
chronically
ill
lifestyles
and
associated
crimes
to
continue
that
resulted
in
their
chronic
homelessness
in
the
first
place.
Thank
you.
F
Thank
you,
and
that
leaves
us
at
the
end
of
our
pre-registered
list.
At
this
point,
I
would
ask
if
there
is
anyone
here
with
us
in
council
chambers
tonight
who
would
like
to
make
oral
communication
to
the
council.
Please
raise
your
hand.
In
addition,
if
there's
anyone
joining
us
via
zoom,
please
use
the
raise
hand,
function
or
star
9.
If
you're
connected
with
a
phone.
P
Mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor
noon,
house,
council
members,
I
am
really
happy
to
see
the
police
use
of
force
on
your
agenda
tonight.
I
briefly
read
over
the
agenda
memo
and
I
am
very
gratified
to
see
that
the
people
in
bellevue
who
especially
participated
in
the
the
outreach,
are
love
their
police
department
want
to
see
it
not
defunded
want
to
see
it
maintained
and
also.
P
I
I'm
glad
that
you
did
the
police
use
of
force
and
as
a
participant
in
the
police
community
advisory
councils,
I
get
to
see
firsthand
the
training
that
they
go
through
and-
and
I
also
took
the
self-defense
class
and
just
the
stuff
that
they
encounter-
that
we
don't
encounter
on
a
regular
basis.
So,
thanks
for
the
police
use
of
force
report-
and
I
appreciate
the
support
of
our
police
throughout
the
city,
thanks.
F
A
Okay,
thank
you.
We
have
two
items
under
council,
business
and
new
initiatives.
First
of
all,
deputy
mayor,
you
are
asking
for
an
excused
absence
for
our
september,
the
sixth
meeting
council
member
lee.
Would
you
like
to
make
a
motion?
Yes,.
A
Any
comments
or
questions
all
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
opposed.
Okay.
Great
next
up
is
an
initiative
from
council
member
robertson.
Would
you
like
to
go
ahead
and
present
this
for
us
sure,
thank.
Q
You
mayor
so,
as
we
all
know-
and
we
talked
about
in
this
chamber-
the
dobbs
decision
overturned,
roe
versus
wade
and
I've
been
thinking
a
lot
about
this,
and
one
of
the
things
I
did
was.
Q
So
washington,
law,
as
it
is
today,
protects
both
women
who
are
seeking
reproductive
choices
of
abortion,
as
well
as
those
that
will
aid
her
in
her
in
her
action
as
as
well
as
doctors
and
yet
with
the
overturning
of
roe
versus
wade.
Some
states
are
criminalizing
that
behavior
and
those
states
can
ask
our
police
department
to
extradite
people
to
serve
subpoenas
to
help
with
investigations
of
people
that
they
want
to
prosecute
in
their
state,
which
is
directly
contrary
to
rcw
902
chapter
902..
Q
Q
So
what
I
propose
is
that
we
allow
the
city
attorney's
office
to
do
the
research
on
how
we
can
adopt
such
a
policy
legally
under
state
and
federal
law,
and
to
bring
that
back
as
a
policy
in
the
future.
So
if
there's
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
from
my
colleagues,
but
otherwise
I'm
happy
just
to
make
the
motion.
A
A
G
I
really
appreciate
the
council,
member
robertson's
passion
and
interest
in
this
issue,
and
I
think
that
this
is
an
issue.
That's
a
very
personal,
individual
moral
and
I
think
that's
great,
and
I
think
we
all
have
our
own.
You
know
feeling
about
it
and
I
think
the
city
of
value
has
always
behaved
very
rationally
very
well
in
many
of
these.
This
is
not
the
unique
issue.
I
assume
we
have
many
other
legal.
G
You
know
enforcement
issues
and
the
thing
I
I'm
concerned
about
you
know
taking
this
on
is
because
I'm
not
sure
whether
it's
a
local
issue
at
our
level
to
make
a
policy
decision
because
of
the
very
politically
divisive
and
charged
environment
we
are
talking
about.
G
G
A
G
G
Okay,
all
right,
my
my
thought
is
that
because
there's
a
political
environment
which
shouldn't
be
here
but
unfortunately,.
G
Say
that
we
reinforced
the
city
of
bellevue's
policy,
given
the
police
department
that
authority
discretion
that
they
they
they
are
not
going
to
how
I
put
it
to
to
to
use
their
discretion,
which
is
what
we
are
comfortable
and
we
as
a
counselor.
We
can
always
act
if
they
don't
do
it.
We
say
hey.
You
know,
we
don't
agree
with
the
way
you
you
yeah,
you
you,
you
act,
I'm.
Q
A
Q
Certainly
so
councilmember
lee
understand,
and
certainly
we
have
no
authority
over
state
or
federal
law
on
abortion.
The
issue,
as
I
see
it,
is
that
our
state
law
says
that
the
state
which
includes
the
city
shall
take
no
action
to
or
adverse
action
against,
folks
for
having
abortions
or
for
aiding
someone
in
having
an
abortion.
Q
Yet
under
the
federal
extradition
laws,
they
could
in
fact
be
forced
to
extradite
someone
to
another
state,
so
the
best
example
I
have
is,
if
someone
comes
from
idaho,
to
seek
abortion
care
in
a
washington
doctor
and
that
washington
doctor
prescribes
the
an
abortion
pill
to
that
person
that
person
picks
up
a
prescription
doesn't
take.
It
in
washington
goes
home
to
idaho,
if
idaho
criminalizes
that,
then
that
idaho
could
try
to
extradite
the
doctor
and
prosecute
the
doctor,
even
though
they
have
a
defense
under
washington
law
and
it's
perfectly
legal
under
washington
law.
Q
I
we
are
in
a
bit
of
a
pickle
and
our.
I
don't
want
to
put
our
law
enforcement
officers
in
the
position
of
trying
to
pick
which
law
they're
going
to
enforce
so,
and
I
furthermore
do
not
want
to
see
any
taxpayer
dollar
in
bellevue
being
used
contrary
to
state
law,
to
help,
unless
they're
required
under
state
or
federal
law,
to
investigate
or
prosecute
that
doctor.
Q
It
may
not
take
them
eight
hours,
but
we're
about
to
go
into
a
long
august
break
so
I'd
rather
give
them
the
authority
to
do
the
work
now
and
and
bring
us
a
policy
in
the
fall.
So
and
thank
you
for.
G
Considering
my
perspective
and
ask
for
a
follow-up
question,
then
I'll
be
satisfied.
You
know,
I
think
we
have
situations
similar
to
maybe
this
one,
maybe
not
I'm
not
a
lawyer.
We
have
the
illegal
immigrant
situation
when
people
who
are
supposed
to
be
illegal,
according
to
I
guess,
according
to
federal
law,
they
can
be
extradited
right
or
they
can
be
held
by.
G
Q
Q
A
R
Yeah,
I
just
strongly
support
council
members
proposal
and
this
is
to
have
this
looked
into
by
the
staff.
It
may
take
you
more
than
eight
hours,
but
I
agree
with
the
concept
behind
it,
but
we're
just
at
this
point
having
the
staff.
Do
the
work
to
come
back
to
us
and
give
talk
to
us
about
the
feasibility
of
this
and
whether
we
can
do
it
and
I
think
that's
an
appropriate
thing
to
do,
and
it's
certainly
within
our
legal
rights
to
do
that.
Okay,.
S
Yeah
I
support
this
as
well,
and
my
sense
is:
it
probably
won't
take
more
than
eight
hours,
because
I
understand
that
there's
other
local
agencies
that
actually
has
taken
the
same
step
and
might
have
done
some
of
the
legal
work
already
related
to
this.
If
it
does
take
more
than
eight
hours.
I
support
that
as
well,
so
I
would
just
want
to
confirm
this
would
be
if,
with
our
vote,
it
would
be
the
amount
of
time
our
staff
needs
to
review,
even
if
it's
over
eight
hours
is
that
correct,
correct?
Thank
you.
T
A
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
opposed.
Okay
that
passes.
So
we
have
two
public
hearings
tonight,
mr
miyaki,
would
you
like
to
introduce
the
first
one.
U
Sure,
thank
you
mayor
and
council
members.
The
first
of
the
public
hearing
is
the
second
of
three
budget:
public
hearings
on
the
2023-2020
operating
budget
and
the
2023-2029
capital
plan.
U
These
public
hearings,
as
you
know,
are
an
opportunity
for
residents
and
other
stakeholders
to
provide
input
to
the
budget
update,
including
all
proposed
levies,
taxes,
fees
and
rates,
so
joining
us
this
evening.
For
a
brief
staff
report
is
evan
phillips
our
budget
manager
with
the
finance
and
asset
management
department.
That'll
turn
it
over
to
you.
Evan.
V
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
city
manager,
miyaki,
mayor,
robinson,
deputy
mayor,
newman
house,
council
members.
Before
we
open
up
the
council.
Sorry,
the
public
hearing
I
do
want
to
take
a
moment
to
reorient
us
with
the
council
milestone
calendar.
So
myself
and
directors.
Tony
call
and
michael
shihasaki
came
before
you
on
march
7th
for
the
budget
workshop,
where
we
discussed
a
whole
host
of
issues
related
to
the
23-24
budget,
as
well
as
the
2023-2029
cip.
V
Those
that
discussion
include
a
conversation
about
inflationary
pressures,
the
financial
outlook
of
the
city
among
other
topics,
including
long-range
capital,
planning
for
parks
and
community
services.
A
couple
months
later
we
had
our
initial
public
hearing,
the
first
of
three
and
obviously
tonight
we
are
having
our
second
public
hearing
the
next
time
the
2023-2024
budget
will
be
before
all
of
you
will
be
in
late
september,
when
city
manager
miyake
transmits
his
preliminary
budget
to
you
all
for
your
review
and
deliberation.
V
That
transmittal
will
kick
off
a
two-month
process
where
we
will
go
through
various
staff,
presentations
and
considerations,
and
within
that
two-month
period
we
will
also
hold
the
third
and
final
public
hearing.
We
anticipate
that
to
be
sometime
in
october
or
early
november,
in
advance
of
a
tentative
adoption
date
of
november
21st
and
just
as
offense
posts
are
assigned
posts
for
all
of
you
that
november
21st
date
is
the
monday
before
thanksgiving.
So
I
just
want
to
call
that
out
for
you
all
as
well.
V
There
we
go
and
since
then
the
point
of
tonight
is
for
public
engagement,
I
did
want
to
take
a
moment
to
highlight
the
other
public
engagement
opportunities
that
are
part
of
the
23
24
budget
process.
So
I
do
want
to
call
it
that
we
have
a
public
involvement
website
that
always
has
the
latest
and
greatest
information,
and
please
share
that
with
any
folks
who
are
asking.
We've
also
gone
out
and
received
feedback
in
our
budget
performance
and
business
surveys.
And
of
course
we
have
our
three
public
hearings
throughout
the
process.
V
Of
course,
public
comment
is
always
welcome
at
council
meetings
and
other
venues
or
folks
can
submit
their
written
comments
via
email
to
council
or
fam
staff
such
as
myself
at
the
emails
provided.
And
finally,
there
is
another
opportunity
or
opportunities
with
boards
and
commissions,
whether
you're
interested
in
utility
rates
or
community
services
spending
or
human
services
spending.
Those
are
opportunities
throughout
these
late
summer
and
early
fall
to
get
involved
in
the
budget
process
in
a
different
way.
So,
with
those
opportunities
outlined
mayor,
I
pass
it
back
to
you
to
conduct
the
public
hearing.
Thank.
A
You
very
much
thank
you
so,
as
you
said,
this
is
for
the
public
comments,
not
for
council
discussion.
So
is
there
a
motion
to
open
the
public
hearing?
I
moved.
F
Yes,
thank
you
mayor
this
evening.
There
are
12
speakers
for
the
public
hearing,
but
before
we
get
started
calling
names,
I
just
wanted
to
note
for
the
council
and
the
public
that
notice
of
this
public
public
hearing
was
published
on
both
july
18th
and
july.
25Th
notice
directed
any
written
comments
to
be
provided
to
the
city
clerk
or
the
city's
budget
manager,
mr
phillips
and
in
the
dust
packet
this
evening,
as
a
response
to
that
there
were
10
comments
received
in
writing
and
are
included
in
your
desk
packet.
W
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you
hold
on
one
side.
Thank
you,
mayor
deputy
mayor
council,
members
and
city
leaders.
I
urge
you
to
begin
to
fully
fund
the
environmental
stewardship
plan
implementation,
starting
in
the
23-24
biennium
budget.
By
now,
the
climate
emergency
is
well
understood
and
globally
accepted.
The
federal
government
is
finally
poised
to
take
action.
Our
state
government
has
already
started
action
in
2014
the
city
of
bellevue,
committed
to
a
50
reduction
in
greenhouse
gas
emissions
by
2030
and
removed
renewed
that
commitment
in
2019..
W
To
date,
insufficient
resources
have
been
allocated
to
fully
implement
the
plan
or
to
truly
achieve
the
targets.
The
pace
of
progress
is
unacceptably
so,
and
it
is
not
consistent
with
the
city's
aspirational
or
statutory
goals,
because
it
takes
several
years
for
the
most
effective
emissions
cutting
measures
to
have
their
desired
effect.
This
budget
cycle
is
critical
to
reaching
bellevue's
commitments.
W
a
sizable
boost
in
resources
in
this
biennium
budget,
as
needed
to
put
bellevue
on
the
pathway
to
success
in
2020
people
for
climate
action
compiled
research
on
five
u.s
cities
of
belly
view
size
which
have
been
significantly
cutting
their
emissions.
It
showed
successful.
Cities
have
four
to
six
times
the
dedicated
staff
in
their
sustainability
departments
than
bellevue
has
to
catch
up.
The
city
of
bellevue
must
add
six
to
ten
dedicated
ftes
for
our
environmental
stewardship
staff
in
2023
and
aggressively
focus
on
reducing
emissions
from
all
buildings
and
all
transportation
sources.
W
We
are
grateful.
The
city
is
hearing
residents,
concerns
about
trees.
Trees
are
important
and
provide
many
benefits,
such
as
cooling,
carbon
sequestration
and
quality
of
life.
Unfortunately,
the
true
while
trees
sequester
carbon,
they
don't
reduce
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
You
must
do
both
reduce
emissions
and
sequester
carbon,
given
how
much
the
city
is
charging
ahead
with
development.
This
is
the
one
key
focus
that
residents
need
from
their
city
government
to
assure
our
future.
We
need
this
more
than
anything
else.
This
is
a
basic
human
requirement
we
can
afford
it.
W
Mrbit
city
recently
approved
12
new
staff
positions
for
building
permits
and
is
planning
several
other
nice-to-have
non-critical
expenditures.
We
have
full
confidence
that
in
a
1.7
billion
dollar
budget,
prudent
budget
balancing
measures
can
be
found
to
accommodate
a
small
boost
in
the
city's
environmental
stewardship
efforts.
We
asked
the
city
to
increase
environmental
stewardship
spending
by
2
million
per
year
this
biennium
and
to
follow
up
by
directing
city
leadership
to
rapidly
ramp
up
hiring
and
actions
that
will
put
us
on
a
path
to
the
50
percent
cut
in
emissions
by
2030..
X
You
should
have
a
copy
of
this
in
front
of
you,
and
I
know
you've
seen
it
before
those
cities,
nearly
all
of
which
have
smaller
budgets
per
capita
than
bellevue
are
all
apportioning
at
least
four
times
as
much
budget
toward
sustainability.
Work
than
bellevue
is
those
same.
Five
u.s
cities
have
approximately
four
and
in
some
cases,
nine
times
as
many
dedicated
full-time
employees
as
bellevue
does
so.
X
Those
five
other
cities
have
that
we've
shared
the
research
with
you
have
staffing
in
other
departments,
but
that
same
time,
they've
reported
more
full-time,
dedicated
sustainability
staff
than
bellevue.
So
tonight
we
urgently
ask
that
the
staff
and
the
council
find
this
essential
additional
budget
that
will
be
needed
to
bring
on
this
staff.
Y
Good
evening,
mayor
deputy
mayor
council,
members
and
city
staff,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak.
My
name
is
april
stevens
and
I
am
a
resident
of
bellevue
in
june
before
the
council
and
the
city
staff
went
on
retreat.
I
addressed
this
body
to
implore
you
to
keep
the
need
for
additional
staff
in
order
to
better
implement
the
environmental
stewardship
plan
top
on
your
priorities.
Y
Since
that
time,
the
average
june
temperatures
across
the
contiguous
united
states
was
2.2
degrees
higher
than
average
above
average
warmth
dominated
much
of
the
nation
that
month,
even
here
in
our
lovely
pacific
northwest.
We
know
that
air
conditioning
has
become
more
critical
than
it
ever
has
before.
Y
Also,
despite
below
average
precipitation
nationwide,
some
states
saw
a
rather
wet
month.
New
mexico,
washington,
state
and
oregon
had
some
of
their
wettest
records
in
june
june
also
saw
large
wildfires
burning
across
portions
of
the
south
and
southwest
as
many
others
grew
rapidly
in
alaska,
one
million
acres
burned
in
alaska
by
june
18th,
the
earliest
such
occurrence
in
the
calendar
year
in
the
last
32
years
across
all
50
states,
more
than
3.9
million
acres
have
burned
since
january,
which
is
nearly
2.3
times
the
average
for
this
time
of
year.
Y
Also
since
january,
there
have
been
nine
individual
billion
dollar
weather
and
climate
events
across
the
united
states,
so
these
weather
events
are
very
expensive
and
granted
these
that
I've
brought
up
have
occurred
outside
of
the
state
of
washington
by
law
by
large
and
also
our
city
of
bellevue.
But
it's
only
a
matter
of
time.
Y
The
federal
government
has
finally
approached
passing
a
milestone
climate
bill
and
we
know
our
state
government
also
has
taken
action.
We
also
realize
that
cities
control
it's
the
individual
cities
that
control
and
contribute
to
the
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
So
we
have
to
do
our
part
because
it
will
take
several
years
for
the
most
effective
emissions
cutting
measures
to
have
the
desired
effect.
Y
F
Z
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
opportunity
to
speak.
My
name
is
kylie
shulman
and
I
live
in
bellevue,
I'm
15
years
old
and
an
upcoming
sophomore
at
newport
high
school.
I
care
about
climate
change,
since
it
is
impacting
every
aspect
of
our
lives
as
we
live
in
this
changing
world
every
day.
Climate
change
is
an
ongoing
issue
that
can
only
be
fixed
with
our
decisive
action.
I
work
towards
sustainability
by
working
with
organizations
like
the
sustainability
ambassadors
to
help
rapidly
advance
the
sustainable
future.
Z
Thank
you
for
your
support
with
the
environmental
stewardship
projects
that
launched
recently,
including
the
heat
pump
campaign
to
help
residents,
learn
about
saving
energy
and
money
in
their
homes
and
sustainable
bellevue
climate
challenge
portal
that
was
recently
launched
as
outlined
in
the
environmental
stewardship
plan.
We
need
to
reduce
our
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
50
percent
by
2030.
Z
in
2021
bellevue
spent
only
a
fraction
of
what's
needed
to
implement
the
environmental
stewardship
plan.
Full
funding
for
this
plan
is
essential
for
achieving
our
agreed
upon
climate
goals,
as
well
as
supporting
the
fight
to
make
sustainability
equitable.
The
city
needs
to
work
towards
lowering
energy
costs,
implementing
easier
and
more
accessible
ways
to
move
around
the
city
and
ensuring
cleaner
air
for
people
with
health
conditions
like
asthma.
Z
This
work
is
complex
and
requires
enough
staff.
I
appreciate
our
current
staff,
who
are
working
as
quickly
as
possible,
and
it
is
still
important
to
note
that
we
need
more
staff
for
working
on
short
term
actions
along
with
longer
term
actions.
Bellevue
needs
to
have
proper
funding
for
these
staffing
plans
to
be
carried
out.
A
livable
climate
is
essential
to
our
future
and
the
situation
will
only
get
worse.
If
we
do
not
act
now,
we
need
to
take
action
on
our
climate
as
quickly
as
possible.
AA
Okay,
thank
you
hi.
My
name
is
curtis
allred,
I'm
a
bellevue
resident
and
I'm
I'm
very
interested
in
bellevue's
action
on
the
on
environmental
stewardship.
I've
been
following
the
the
development
of
the
environmental
stewardship
plan
and
working
with
people
for
climate
action,
so
I'm
very
in
tune
with
what
they're
doing,
and
I
would
basically
just
like
to
echo
what
a
lot
of
other
speakers
have
said
about
in
support
of
increasing
the
budget
for
environmental
stewardship.
AA
AA
Now,
now
that
it's
now
that
it's
been
the
plan
has
been
established,
I
think
it
needs
a
lot
more
funding
to
actually
successfully
implement
it
and
reach
the
greenhouse
gas
emission
goals
that
the
city
is
set
for
2030,
and
so
I'd
like
to
see
bellevue
step
up
and
commit
the
budget
and
resources
similar
to
those
other
five
cities
that
the
people
for
climate
action
studied,
who
have
made
a
significant
commitment
to
combating
climate
change,
and
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
for
putting
resources
behind
that
plan,
and
I
hope
that
we
can
see
a
lot
of
resources
applied
to
it
to
actually
implement
it
in
the
future
years.
AB
AB
We
are
happy
that
the
city
is
sponsoring
tree
giveaway
events
and
will
soon
be
strengthening
our
tree
protection
codes.
We
are
relieved
that
the
latest
pre-canopy
survey
shows
our
average
canopy
coverage
is
not
falling.
However,
we
are
concerned
that
significant
differences
exist
in
the
canopy
coverage
of
different
neighborhoods.
AB
People
for
climate
action
points
out
that
bellevue
can't
achieve
its
environmental
goals
with
trees
alone,
and
that
is
true.
However,
trees
reduce
atmospheric
carbon
in
two
ways.
As
most
people
know,
trees
store
carbon
in
their
trunks
and
branches,
but
trees
also
cool
our
neighborhoods
by
providing
shade
and
evaporative
cooling.
AB
When
you
formulate
the
biennium
budget,
please
be
sure
that
trees
are
an
integral
part
of
the
plan,
so
that
future
generations
will
continue
to
enjoy
our
city
in
a
park
and
I'll
just
add.
My
final
seconds
here,
I
just
returned
from
kenya
just
a
couple
of
hours
ago
and
trying
to
get
back
to
the
time
zone,
but
we
witnessed
some
very
stark
impacts
of
climate
change
on
that
country.
AB
AC
Good
evening,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor,
newman
house
and
bellevue
city
council,
I
was
honored
to
start
my
day
this
morning,
meeting
with
congressman
adam
smith
at
the
at
pnb
here
in
bellevue,
and
I'm
privileged
to
end
my
day
with
you.
Thank
you.
AC
We
are
here
tonight
to
ask
you
for
your
support
in
increasing
funding
and
other
resources
to
the
arts,
the
arts
budget
line
and
to
these
organizations
who
have
seen
their
budgets
reduced
their
ability
to
serve
the
community.
They
love
because
they
can't
afford
to
work,
do
the
work
or
hire
staff.
That
being
said,
we
are
not
here
to
ask
you
to
bail
us
out.
We
are.
We
took
copious
notes
over
the
last
two
and
a
half
years
and
I
can
speak
on
behalf
of
kids
quest.
We
are
comp,
we
are
a
completely
different
organization.
AC
You
all
may
think
that
we
are
a
place
just
to
play,
but
play
is
the
vehicle
that
we
use
to
teach
children
and
their
caregivers
how
to
maneuver
through
the
world.
It
is
our
job
to
give
kids
the
tools
to
learn
and
think
creatively
and
critically
play
is
just
the
way
we
will
continue
to
take
online
reservations
and
to
keep
our
numbers
closer
to
60
capacity,
because
it
makes
for
a
better
visit
for
everyone.

What
I
do
know
is
the
budget
line
for
supporting
arts,
and
culture
in
our
community
has
not
increased
since
2000.
It
is
2022.
Now
we
want
to
partner
with
you
and
to
with
with
you
to
bring
the
best
programming,
exhibits,
performances
and
experiences.
Any
city
can
have
all
of
these
organizers.
All
all
of
these
organizations
are
not
just
nice
to
have,
but
they
are
necessary
and,
as
you
know,
I
submitted
a
letter
from
over
150
organizations
that
are
part
of
eastside
cultural
coalition
in
support
of
asking
for
larger
budget
line
for
arts
and
culture.
T
Good
evening,
mayor
council,
members,
deputy
mayor
city
staff,
you
all
know
me
dressed
up
tonight,
though,
because
I
thought
I'd
try
to
create
the
image
that
you
all
create
when
you
sit
there
on
the
desk
and
city
staff
creates
a
similar
image.
It's
important
business
that
the
city
does
so
to
emphasize
that
I'm
a
businessman
too.
T
I
wore
my
suit
tonight
first
time,
I
think
I've
worn
it
in
about
two
or
three
years,
but
anyway,
my
bow
tie
indicates
that
I'm
here
on
other
business
than
my
consulting
business,
I'm
here
representing
a
large
group
of
folks
that
we
call
people
for
climate
action
and
we've
got
probably
a
little
over
180
folks
that
sign
a
couple
of
recent
letters
to
you.
So
you
know
what
we're
all
about.
T
T
I
just
want
to
add
to
everything.
That's
been
said
tonight
by
saying
history
speaks
and
tells
us
a
lot
of
things.
T
AD
Good
evening,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor,
newan,
wiese,
and
also
the
distinguished
members
of
this
council,
my
name
is
benue
esrian,
I'm
the
I
co-chair
of
the
eastside
culture
coalition
with
butterbur,
I'm
also
the
producing
artistic
director
of
beniristan's,
a
project-based
contemporary
dance
company
that
inspires
educates
and
uplifts
diverse
communities
through
performances,
education
and
community
events
march
13
2020
shook
the
cultural
sector
in
unprecedented
ways.
AD
Like
many,
we
were
forced
to
close
our
doors
pivot,
multiple
times
to
stay
connected
with
the
communities
we
serve
and
keep
our
organizations
afloat
for
arts,
culture,
heritage,
science
and
preservation,
organizations
of
varying
sizes,
budgets
and
missions.
On
the
east
side,
ecc
became
an
essential
place
to
get
support,
share
resources
and
hold
space
for
each
other
covet
19
exposed
around
us
of
the
challenges.
Many
cultural
leaders
and
organizations
face
during
this
difficult
time.
AD
During
this
time
we
learned
so
much
about
each
other's
challenges
and
struggles,
but
we
also
celebrated
the
generosity,
camaraderie
and
incredible
work
happening
throughout
the
east
side,
while
our
doors
were
temporarily
closed,
we
acted
fast
to
create
digital
programming
online,
to
keep
our
families
and
youth
singing
laughing
playing
and
dancing
in
their
homes.
We
persevered.
AD
AD
I
stand
before
you
here
today
as
a
member
of
the
ecc
and
a
cultural
leader
to
ask
for
your
continued
support
and
more
funding
for
the
arts
and
culture
on
the
east
side.
It
is
crucial
that
we
receive
more
support
from
the
city
of
bellevue
to
allow
us
to
recover
scale
up
and
do
more
for
our
communities
in
a
way
that
is
equitable
and
gives
us
the
opportunity
to
expand
our
capacity
reach
and
impact
as
a
wealthy
and
progressive
city.
Bellevue
continues
to
grow,
yet
the
budget
for
support
supporting
the
arts
remained
unchanged.
AD
Also,
we
still
lack
arts
and
cultural
facilities
to
bring
people
together
or
house
our
growing
population
of
artists
and
cultural
workers.
I
implore
the
city
of
bellevue
to
take
this
opportunity
and
take
the
lead
in
demonstrating
that
communities
thrive
when
more
resources,
funding
and
overall
support
are
directed
to
arts
and
culture.
AD
F
AE
Yeah,
my
name
is
jennifer
keller
and
I
live
at
115,
146
avenue,
southeast
in
bellevue
and
good
evening,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor
noon,
house
and
council
members.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
opportunity
to
speak,
I'm
here
to
urge
you
to
allocate
sufficient
funding
in
the
budget
for
implementing
climate
action
in
the
environmental
stewardship
plan.
AE
I
love
the
beauty
of
the
northwest
and
I'm
very
concerned
about
our
young
people
and
their
future.
In
a
time
of
climate
change,
the
decisions
we
make
now
will
have
profound
effect
on
their
lives.
I'm
grateful
for
your
past
work
on
the
environmental
stewardship
plan
and
for
projects
such
as
the
heat
pump
campaign,
but
we
need
to
do
more.
The
level
of
imp
implementation
of
the
plan
that
has
happened
so
far
will
only
make
an
incremental
reduction
in
our
emissions.
AE
We
need
more
funding
and
more
staffing
for
environmental
stewardship.
We
have
our
urgent
city
goal,
50
reduction
in
greenhouse
gas
emissions
by
2030,
and
we
saw
the
urgency
of
that
goal
all
around
us
this
past
week
when
the
temperatures
soar
day
after
day.
The
urgency
is
also
a
key
point
in
the
latest
report.
From
the
intergovernmental
panel
on
climate
change,
therefore,
I
urge
you
to
prioritize
spending
and
staffing
for
environmental
stewardship
and
climate
action
in
the
budget.
AE
AE
Those
cities
have
made
significant
reductions
in
their
carbon
emissions
and
they
have
more
dedicated
staff
in
their
sustainability
departments
than
bellevue
has.
So
we
need
to
increase
our
staff
using
the
staffing
levels
of
those
cities
as
an
indicator.
The
city
of
bellevue
should
add
at
least
six
more
staff
positions.
AE
More
is
better
dedicated
to
sustainability,
to
make
substantial
progress
on
our
environmental
stewardship
work
in
2023
and
beyond.
This
is
the
time
to
do
it.
When
we
can
still
make
a
difference
for
our
young
people,
I'm
sure
we
can
work
it
into
the
budget.
If
we
make
it
a
serious
priority,
we
must
move
very
rapidly
on
taking
climate
action.
Please
do
everything
you
can
to
fully
fund
the
implementation
of
the
environmental
stewardship
plan.
Thank
you.
AF
All
right,
let
me
just
get
set
up
here
awesome
good
evening,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor
newland
house,
council
members
and
city
manager,
mayake
chris
randalls,
representing
complete
streets,
w
an
organization
working
to
make
sure
everyone
can
get
around
safely
and
sustainably
throughout
the
city.
I
just
want
to
thank
this
council
for
understanding
that
city
budgets,
at
their
fundamental
level,
are
a
reflection
of
our
values
and
whatever
city.
AF
Two
years
ago,
this
council
showed
great
leadership
by
approving
a
budget
with
a
significant
amount
of
funding
in
the
capital
improvement
program
to
support
vision,
zero
efforts
in
the
city.
We
want
to
acknowledge
councilmember
zhang's
amendment
from
back,
then,
which
fast-tracked
the
funding
during
the
first
two
years
of
the
seven
year,
cip,
which
has
enabled
transportation
staff
to
do
some
great
work
over
the
last
two
years,
such
as
the
road
safety
assessments
near
school
zones
project.
AF
In
addition
to
safety,
2030
is
also
an
important
year
for
climate,
as
many
others
have
said
this
evening.
As
others
have
noted,
we
need
to
reduce
our
emissions
significantly.
By
that
time,
we
have
any
chance
of
avoiding
the
worst
effects
of
climate
change,
some
of
which
we
just
experienced
this
past
week
with
our
region's
longest
stretch
of
days
over
90
degrees,
with
studies
showing
the
production
of
batteries
for
electric
automobiles
still
leaves
to
significant
greenhouse
gas
emissions
during
their
manufacturing
process.
AF
Our
city
will
not
be
able
to
solely
rely
on
widespread
vehicle
electrification
to
meet
our
climate
goals
in
the
transportation
sector.
We
will
need
to
support
development
patterns
and
transportation
infrastructure
that
will
enable
more
people
who
may
currently
exclusively
drive
to
make
more
of
their
trips
while
walking
biking
and
taking
transit.
AF
However,
they
will
need
infrastructure
in
the
community
that
can
support
these
trips
in
a
safe
way,
that's
accessible
to
people
of
all
ages
and
abilities.
That
is
why
our
organization
strongly
encourages
council
to
significantly
increase
the
funding
allocations
towards
vision,
zero,
bicycle
and
pedestrian
improvement
projects
and
transit
efficiency
improvements.
AF
As
much
progress
has
been
made
in
these
areas.
We
know
that
bellevue
still
has
a
long
way
to
go,
but
through
your
bold
action
we
can
realize
the
vision
of
what
our
city
aspires
to
be,
one
that
is
sustainable,
one
that
is
equitable
and
one
that
is
accessible
to
all,
no
matter
how
they
get
around.
Thank
you.
AG
AG
You
know
I
rarely
hear
someone
deny
the
existence
of
climate
change
anymore.
When
someone
talks
about
floods
in
kentucky
or
melting
rail
lines
in
london
or
wildfires
that
might
consume
the
oldest
trees
in
yosemite.
They
freely
conclude
that
climate
change
is
real
and,
according
to
the
yale
climate
opinion
maps
in
2022,
82
percent
of
the
folks
in
our
federal
legislative
district
believe
in
climate
change.
AG
AG
But
what
they
don't
know
or
fully
understand
is
that
bellevue
as
part
of
a
king
county
climate
action
plan,
is
committed
to
cutting
greenhouse
gas
emissions
by
50
percent
from
the
2014
levels
by
2030,
and
even
if
they
know
those
words,
they
don't
know
what
it
means.
They
don't
know.
What
it
will
take-
and
they
don't
know
who
or
how
it
will
get
done-
the
city's
environmental
stewardship
dashboard
doesn't
link
city
promoted
actions
with
reduction
goals.
We
know
that
existing
buildings
are
producing
half
our
current
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
AG
That's
a
lot
of
homes,
those
82
percent
of
bellevue
residents
live
in.
They
are
a
critical
part
of
the
fix.
Not
only
do
they
need
to
vote
for
good
climate
legislation
and
leaders,
they
need
to
do
their
part
and
arguably
they
would
be
part
of
a
solution
if
they
were
engaged
in
the
problem.
So
how
do
we
make
the
citizens
of
bellevue
know
that
the
city
is
committed
to
mitigating
this
crisis?
AG
Well,
first,
they
need
to
know
that
our
city
government
recognizes
the
crisis,
understands
the
crisis
and
has
a
plan.
82
percent
of
bellevue
voters
is
a
load
of
people.
They
need
your
help
to
better
understand
the
climate
threats
to
understand
our
community's
official
shared
goal
to
understand
the
mitigations.
We
will
undertake
to
reach
that
awesome
goal.
AG
F
Thank
you
and,
as
I
said,
that
was
the
end
of
our
pre-registered
speakers
list.
At
this
point
I
would
ask
if
there
is
anyone
joining
us
here
in
council
chambers
who
would
like
to
make
a
comment.
Please
use
or
please
raise
your
hand.
In
addition,
anyone
joining
us
online
in
zoom
use
the
raise
hand,
function
or
star
9
and
betsy.
Please.
P
Back
thanks,
I'm
betsy
hummer
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor
newton
house,
people
in
bellevue
deserve
to
feel
and
be
safe
and
people
in
bellevue
cherish
their
neighborhoods.
I
have
two
budget
requests
for
your
consideration,
be
sure
to
include
the
community
crisis
assistance
team
in
the
upcoming
budget.
P
P
The
bellevue
police
department
recognizes
the
need
to
imagine
new
ways
to
respond
to
these
calls
and
ensure
the
best
outcome
for
the
individual,
their
family
and
the
community,
by
diverting
them
out
of
the
criminal
justice
system
and
providing
an
alternative
pathway
to
address
their
mental
health
and
behavioral
crisis,
they
had
three
different
models.
The
evaluation
showed
that
the
community
crisis
assistance
team
was
highly
successful
in
diverting
people
from
jails
and
hospitals,
decreased
police
use
of
force
and
significantly
increased
the
amount
of
time
community
crisis
assistant
team
officers
spent
on
calls
further.
The
evaluation
provides
evidence.
P
AH
AH
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
budget
that
you
are
allowing
us
to
speak
on
again,
I
come
to
you
from
a
citizen
that
has
been
here
for
about
25
years
now
from
another
state.
California,
I
saw
california
grow
from
its
child
to
to
a
big
city
as
bellevue
is
becoming,
and
I've
also
have
gone
back
to
visit
and
I've
seen
what's
happened
to
it.
AH
It's
amazing.
The
growth
is
tremendous.
The
silicon
valley
that
has
been
brought
in
with
you
know
the
technology
that
we
have
now
and
yet
they
don't
even
realize
what
air
they're
breathing.
I
went
back
and
I
asked
my
relatives.
How
can
you
stand
this
and
they've
said
what
what
are
you
talking
about?
They
don't
it
just
doesn't
occur
to
them
this
weekend.
AH
I
thought
about
it
again
as
I
went
through
the
heat
as
we
all
had
to
suffer
through,
and
maybe
some
of
you
as
many
do
now
have
air
conditioning,
but
I
went
to
the
lakes
that
I
usually
go
to
every
year.
AH
AH
I
really
feel
we
have
to
take
a
look
at
where
our
life
is
going
here
and
I'm
seeing
people
move
up
from
california
because
they
don't
like
the
environment
there.
I'm
also
seeing
people
sell
their
homes
here
and
moving
out
because
they
don't
like
what
they're
seeing
happening
here.
We
had
three
homes
sell
recently
on
our
street
in
bridal
trails.
AH
AH
AI
Thank
you.
I
hadn't
planned
to
speak
tonight,
but
I
wanted
to
put
in
a
plug
in
the
budget
for
please
consider
funding
a
community
responder
mental
health
response
team.
AI
The
ccap
pilot
was
incomplete.
It
did
not
consider
it
did
not
have
the
option
of
dispatching
just
mental
health
first
responders.
I
think
the
city
should
take
that
opportunity.
Maybe
do
another
pilot
and
make
sure
that
the
right
response
is
the
first
response.
We
wouldn't
send
firefighters
to
do
police
work
and
we
wouldn't
send
police
officers
to
put
out
a
fire.
AI
So
I
think,
having
mental
health
responders
that
could
be
dispatched
directly
from
9-1-1
is
the
right
way
and
it's
good
for
the
police
officers,
who
don't
have
the
skills
or
the
interest
in
doing
that
kind
of
work.
Usually
it's
good
for
the
community,
it's
good
for
the
people
who
are
being
served
and
it
is
the
most
cost
effective
way.
So
thank
you
very
much.
A
Those
in
favor
say
aye,
aye,
aye,
aye,
okay,
any
opposed
all
right,
so
our
council
will
have
a
chance
to
discuss
the
budget
between
september
and
november
with
about
six
meetings
and
more,
if
necessary,
so
we'll
have
our
chance
to
have
discussions
and
weigh
in
with
all
the
comments
we're
hearing.
I'm
going
to
have
us
take
a
break
until
8
o'clock.
A
U
U
So
I'll
go
ahead
and
continue
so
tonight
the
council
is
being
asked
to
make
a
finding
of
necessity
as
well
as
hold
the
public
hearing
and
adopt
ordinance.
6673
joining
us
tonight
is
kathy
garland.
Our
city
attorney
will
provide
a
staff
report
before
opening
up
the
public
hearing
and
with
that
I'll
turn
over
to
kathy.
AJ
As
mr
miyaki
indicated,
you
have
tonight
ordinance
6673
before
you
for
consideration
that
would
eliminate
the
quasi-judicial
appeals
of
hearing
examiner
decisions
and
recommendations
to
the
council
on
process
one
and
process
three
michelle
next
slide,
please
so
tonight
there
are
three
actions
that
are
being
requested
from
council.
AJ
One
is
to
make
a
finding
of
necessity,
which
is
required
under
the
code
in
order
for
the
council
to
retain
the
processing
and
the
public
hearing
for
this
luca,
rather
than
sending
it
to
the
planning
commission
and
then
also
the
council
is
being
requested
to
actually
hold
a
public
hearing
tonight,
and
then
staff
is
recommending
that
the
council
vote
tonight
and
adopt
ordinance
6673
next
slide.
Please
the
agenda
for
tonight.
AJ
I
will
give
a
brief
overview
of
the
lucca
and
excuse
me
what
the
code
does
the
benefits
and
help
meets
the
decision
criteria
in
the
land
use
code
and
happy
to
answer
any
questions
the
council
may
have
and
then
mayor.
I
will
turn
it
over
to
you
for
the
council
to
make
a
finding
of
necessity
and
hold
the
public
hearing.
If
the
council
chooses
to
do
that
and
then
after
the
public
hearing
closes,
the
council
will
then
consider
the
adoption
of
the
ordinance.
AJ
So,
just
before
we
get
into
the
substance
to
briefly
discuss
the
process
timeline
and
how
we
got
here
on
june,
at
its
june
9
through
11
council
meeting
council
actually
initiated
this
luca
and
requested
staff
to
bring
it
back
to
the
council
for
consideration
and
then
since
then,
we
have
done
the
legal
process
necessary
under
the
code
and
the
growth
management
act
to
get
this
before
the
council
tonight.
So
on
july,
7,
a
notice
of
application
was
published.
AJ
The
council,
the
hearing
examiner
excuse
me,
holds
an
evidentiary
hearing
and
takes
testimony
and
reviews
written
evidence.
That's
submitted
and
then
makes
a
decision
for
process
three
which
are
now
just
site-specific
re-zones.
The
hearing
examiner
holds
the
same
kind
of
the
evidentiary
hearing,
but
the
difference
is
they
only
make
a
decision.
AJ
Those
appeals
to
the
council
are
quasi-judicial
in
nature.
When
hearing
an
appeal,
the
council
is
not
acting
in
the
role
that
you
normally
play
as
a
legislative
and
policy
makers,
but
instead
you
are
acting
as
appellate
judges
and
the
council
before
the
record.
Before
you
is
closed,
which
means
that
in
deciding
the
appeal,
the
council
can
only
consider
the
evidence
that
was
presented
to
the
hearing,
examiner
and
that's
contained
in
the
hearing.
AJ
Examiner's
record
and
parties
cannot
come
directly
to
you
to
present
additional
information
or
evidence,
you're
required
to
review
the
record,
and
the
reason
is
that
you
may
only
grant
an
appeal
if
the
council
finds
that
the
hearing
examiner's
decision
is
not
supported
by
material
and
substantial
evidence
in
the
record.
So
again,
that
is
the
role
the
council
plays
in
these
appeals
and
it
is
akin
to
the
role
of
an
appellate
court
or
a
judge.
It
is
not
the
role
of
a
policy
maker.
AJ
If
a
party
doesn't
agree
with
the
council's
decision,
they
can
appeal
it
to
superior
court,
where
a
judge
will
essentially
do
much
the
same
thing
as
the
council
did
and
will
again
review
the
record
made
before
the
hearing
examiner
and
may
again
make
a
decision
about
whether
there's
substantial
evidence
in
the
record,
regardless
of
the
decision
that
the
council
made
on
appeal
next
slide,
please
so
the
proposed
luca
would
under
process.
One
still
have
the
hearing
examiner,
holding
an
evidentiary
hearing
and
making
a
decision.
AJ
The
difference
is
there
will
be
no
appeal
to
the
council.
So
if
someone
does
not
like
the
hearing
examiner's
decision,
they
still
retain
all
their
rights
to
file
an
appeal
in
superior
court
where
the
court
will
review
the
record
if
the
hearing
examiner's
decision,
if
no
appeal
is
filed
and
the
hearing
examiner's
decision
is
final.
It's
the
final
decision
of
the
city
next
slide,
please
for
process
three,
which
now
that
the
ebcc
is
no
longer
in
existence
process.
Three
matters
consist
of
site-specific
rezones
again.
AJ
The
council
will
still
be
required
to
make
the
final
decision
on
a
rezone
application,
that's
required
by
state
law.
So
you
will.
The
council
is
to
consider
the
hearing,
examiner's
record
and
the
recommendation
of
the
hearing
examiner
when
making
that
final
decision,
but
you
will
not
also
be
hearing
a
potential
appeal
of
the
hearing,
examiner's
decision,
and
so
the
council
will
make
the
final
decision
on
a
rezone
and
that
may
be
appealed
to
superior
court.
AJ
If
someone
disagrees
with
that
decision,
next
slide,
please
so
the
what
are
the
benefits
of
this
proposed
luca
one
is
that
it
optimizes
the
council's
legislative
and
policy
making
role.
So,
as
I
mentioned,
the
council's
primary
role
is
to
act
as
policy
makers
to
adopt
policy
and
code
that
implement
your
vision
for
the
city.
It
is
not
the
council's
normal
role
to
act
as
judges
and
to
review
evidentiary
records
and
determine
if
there's
sufficient
evidence
to
meet
a
legal
standard.
AJ
AJ
However,
because
the
public,
because
there's
a
right
of
appeal
to
the
council,
the
public
may
think
that
they
can
comment
directly
to
the
council
and
and
that
by
doing
so,
they
have
meaningfully
participated
in
the
process
and
they
we
have
seen
that
happen.
They
may
not
understand
that
they
need
to
participate
in
the
hearing
before
the
hearing
examiner
when
the
record
is
still
open
and
therefore
they
may
miss
their
only
opportunity
to
get
their
comments
and
evidence
into
the
record.
AJ
Finally,
there
are
some
decision
criteria
in
the
land
use
code
that
a
landis
code
amendment
must
meet
and
that
the
council
must
find
our
met
in
order
to
amend
the
code
and
for
the
reasons
I
just
mentioned
and
as
is
discussed
more
fully
in
the
staff
report,
the
proposed
luca
would
meet
all
of
these.
There
are
a
couple
of
comprehensive
plan
policies
listed
in
the
agenda
memo
and
discussed
in
the
staff
report.
The
luca
is
consistent
with
those
and
does
support
them.
AJ
The
benefits
of
the
luca
that
I
just
discussed
do
provide
and
enhance
the
public
health
safety
or
welfare.
They
provide
public
benefits
and,
finally,
the
amendment
isn't
contrary
to
the
best
interests
of
the
citizen,
citizens
or
property
owners
of
the
city.
Because
again,
as
I
mentioned,
all
the
benefits
of
the
luca
just
discussed
would
actually
serve
the
best
interests
of
the
citizens.
AJ
A
A
F
You
mayor,
yes,
there
are
two
pre-registered
speakers
on
the
list
this
evening
and
again
I'll
remind
the
council
and
the
public
that
this
public
hearing
notice
was
published
on
july
25th
notice
directed
any
written
comments
to
be
submitted
to
myself,
the
city
clerk
or
the
city
attorney
in
response
to
that
notice,
two
written
comments
were
received
and
are
included
in
your
desk
packet
for
this
evening.
With
that
I'll
call
the
first
speaker
who's
heidi
dean,
again
joining
us
virtually
miss
dean.
Can
you
hear
me.
K
Mayor
and
council,
you
know
when
this
came
up
before
I
fought
it
this
time,
I'm
not
going
to
fight
it
mostly
because
I
I
just
kind
of
feel
like
it.
You've
already
decided
it's
a
done
deal
it's
going
to
happen,
but
I
do
want
to.
K
I
do
want
to
make
this
point,
which
is
that,
if
the
stated
benefit
of
this
luca
is
that
it
encourages
public
participation
early
in
the
process,
then
council
should
commit
to
ensuring
the
public
notification
process
is
improved
so
that
people
are
aware
of
projects,
the
potential
impacts
and
how
and
when
they
can
comment,
because
I
not
the
case.
Somebody
tell
betsy
hummer
to
stop
calling
me
please
and
I'm
gonna
say
an
example
of
this.
Is
this
very
luca
itself?
K
It
was
clearly
discussed
during
your
council
retreat,
which
was
the
9th
through
the
11th
of
june.
There's
no
meeting
minutes
for
that.
I
wasn't
aware
of
this
until
I
saw
it
published
in
the
in
the
the
weekly
permit
bulletin,
so
you
know-
and
this
all
happened
so
again,
better
better
communication
with
the
residents.
K
If,
if
we're
saying,
we
want
early
participation,
also,
if
council
is
going
to
remove
themselves
from
the
judicial
role,
then
they
must
make
sure
that
decisions
that
are
issued
by
staff
are
indeed
correct
and
fair
and
not
manipulations
of
land
use
code
and
zoning
and
the
sort
of
thing,
as
has
happened
in
my
center
rezone
attempts
and
other
things
that
I
have
participated
in
with
other
neighborhoods.
K
That
has
happened
so
you
know
this
forces
residents.
You
know
to
go
to
the
expense
of
litigation.
You
know
to
fight
in
court
and
or
just
have
to
give
up
right
because
it's
too
expensive.
So
I
want
to
make
sure
that,
if
you're
going
to
remove
yourself
from
a
judicial
role-
and
I
I
understand
that
that
that
you
ensure
that
residents
get
a
fair
shake,
that
they
are-
that
that
what
they
bring
forward
is
is
being
adjudicated
correctly
by
by
staff.
So
that's
pretty
much
everything
that
I
have
to
say.
K
I
appreciate
your
listening
to
my
suggestion.
Thank
you
very
much.
AK
AK
AK
AK
My
organization
save
coal
creek,
believes
that
this
property
will
have
immense
public
value
as
a
part
connecting
cougar
mountain
regional
wildland
park
and
the
city's
own
coal
creek
natural
area.
There
are
4
000
folks
from
bellevue
and
surrounding
neighborhoods,
who
agree
with
us
and
have
signed
our
petition.
AK
AK
F
Thank
you
miss
lawrence.
Your
time
has
expired
at
this
point.
That
is
the
end
of
our
pre-registered
list
and
ask
if
there's
anyone
joining
us
here
in
council
chambers
that
would
like
to
make
comment
at
this
public
hearing.
Please
raise
your
hand.
I
see
you,
mr
marsh,
also,
if
there
are
folks
online
who
would
like
to
make
comment,
please
use
star
nine
to
raise
your
hand,
mr
marsh.
AB
Hi
again,
so
I
I'll
start
out
just
by
echoing
heidi
dean's
concern
about
about
notice.
This.
This
issue
is
of
a
lot
of
interest
to
to
a
lot
of
people
in
bellevue,
and
the
notice
of
this
hearing
came
while
I
was
on
vacation.
If
my
vacation
had
been
one
day
longer,
I
even
a
few
hours
longer,
I
wouldn't
have
been
able
to
participate
at
all,
and
so
I
think
for
for
a
subject
of
this
interest
to
schedule
it
in
the
depth
of
summer
with
such
short
notice.
AB
Me
and
my
organization
coalition
of
east
side
neighborhoods
for
sensible
energy,
strongly
opposed
it,
because
we
really
felt
that
that
having
an
appeal
without
having
to
to
pay
exorbitant
legal
expenses
would
would
be
advantageous
to
us.
AB
AB
That
has
a
lot
of
contacts
already
established
with
staff
with
council
members
we're
really
at
a
big
disadvantage.
If
we
can't
talk
about
it-
and
I
think
it's
it's
really
odd-
that
we
couldn't
even
talk
in
an
open
public
meeting
about
the
project
that
that
that
we
were
interested
in.
It
seems
to
me
that
that
was
that
was
a
weird
conclusion
of
of
this.
This
law.
But
anyway,
if
I
have
now
seen
this
work
in
another
city
in
newcastle,
we
were
able
to
talk
to
council
members.
AB
Council
members
came
to
the
public
hearing
and
and
expressed
their
views.
I
imagine
if
it
got
appealed
to
to
court
they
could
they
could
weigh
in
there
too.
So
I
think,
also
being
able
to
discuss
this
in
a
council
meeting.
It's
not
only
communicating
to
you,
but
other
people
who
are
watching
can
get
educated
about
the
the
issue
as
well.
AB
So
I've
changed
my
mind
and
I
I
think
this
is
the
is
the
right
thing
to
do,
but
I
really
I'm
really
still
concerned
about
what
happens
when
residents
or
a
neighborhood
has
to
argue
on
the
other
side
of
a
big
corporation.
It's
just
it's
just
really
hard.
Hopefully
this
makes
it
a
little
bit
easier,
but
it's
it's
still
a
very
difficult
thing
to
do.
Thank
you.
F
A
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye,
aye,
aye
aye
any
opposed.
Okay,
so
I'll
take
comments
or
questions
from
whomever
and
councilmember
robertson.
Go
ahead,
go
ahead
and
play.
Q
In
so
interesting
what
a
change
from
a
few
years
ago,
when
we
first
had
a
public
hearing
on
this
to
tonight,
I
think
that
as
a
council
and
as
members
of
the
engaged
public
people
see,
the
stumbling
block
that
is
created
when
council
members,
who
are
your
accessible
public
officials
and
policy
makers
are
forced
to.
You
know,
hold
people
at
arm's
length
because
they're
sitting
as
a
judge,
and
they
can't
violate
the
appearance
of
fairness
standards.
They
can't
take
information
outside
of
the
record,
etc.
Q
The
quadrijudicial
process
definitely
puts
distance
between
the
public
accessibility
of
the
the
accessibility
of
council
members
to
the
public.
So
I
do
support
this.
I
think
it's
the
right
thing
to
do
most
cities
that
have
the
budget
to
use
the
hearing,
examiner,
use
them
and
do
not
go
to
council
except
on
rezones,
which
is,
as
the
city
attorney
said,
we're
required
by
state
law
to
have
the
councils
adopt
the
zoning.
So
we
have
to
do
the
rezones,
so
I'm
very
supportive
of
it.
Q
As
mr
marsh
said,
they
they
people
think
it
might
be
cheaper
to
have
an
outlet
to
counsel,
but
in
most
of
these
things,
everyone
has
hired
a
land
use
attorney
and
all
it
is,
is
an
extra
process,
an
extra
hearing
and
you're
paying
your
attorney
that
whole
time
so
going
from
the
hearing
examiner
who's,
an
expert
in
land
use
law
to
superior
court
judge
under
the
land
use
petition
act
appeal
is
more
efficient
and
more
cost
effective
for
everybody.
So,
for
those
reasons
I
do
support
the
ordinance.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
Well
I'll
just
say
that
when
I
first
got
on
the
bellby
city
council,
this
came
up-
and
I
was,
I
didn't
know
really
much
about
it.
But
I
was
adamant
that
we
not
remove
our
responsibility
that
I
thought
we
had
to
our
residents.
But
I
didn't
realize
that
that
meant
we
couldn't
talk
to
the
people
we
represented
and
we
were
only
able
to
judge
the
validity
of
the
hearing,
examiner's
decision
based
on
the
public
record.
We
couldn't
go
outside
of
that
and
it
was
based
on
the
criteria
that
were
listed,
that
we
didn't
create.
A
It
also
costs
a
lot
for
the
public
and
for
the
city,
and
I
think
that
it's
more
representative
to
get
out
of
the
quasi-judicial
process
and
most
cities,
our
size
and
larger,
even
and
smaller,
are
not
in
this
position
of
having
this
role.
So
for
that
reason,
I'm
going
to
support
this
motion.
Are
there
any
other
guest,
councilmember
lee
and
then
council
members
on.
G
Thank
you.
I've
been
on
the
council
for
28
years
and
I
have
seen
very
very
few.
You
know
quasi-judiciary
decisions,
so
I
think
it's
not
really
very
frequent
and
the
same
time
I
hear
that
we
all
know
talk
about
the
the
shortcomings
you
know
of
and
also
probably
some
advantages
benefit
of
the
quasi-judicial
process.
However,
you
know
I
you
know
these.
Some
of
them
are
technical.
Some
are
constrained,
some
are
legal.
You
know,
I've
been
another
lawyer,
you
know
I
can't
say
better
or
worse.
G
I
look
at
how
we
can
really
understand
the
issues,
how
we
look
at
all
the
different
aspects.
How
do
we
hear
from
the
public?
How
do
we
represent
all
points
of
view,
whether
it
be
applicants
or
residents
or
for
against
to
me?
I
think
that's
the
most
important
thing
that
we
need
to
know
we
need
to
represent,
and
so
I
believe
that
this
quartzite
judicial
process
has
really
a
lot
of
limitations
which
has
been
articulated
and
we
can't
even
talk
about
them
and
a
lot
of
information
came
comes
up,
not
all
at
once
right.
G
They
come
in
different
stages.
If
you
come
later
on.
After
the
process
already
begin,
I
mean
we
have
no
we're
not
privy
to
it.
We
have
no
information,
so
the
decision
we
make
is
really
not
complete
and
it's
so
so.
I
believe
that
removing
us
from
this
role,
having
the
opportunity
to
discuss,
communicate
with
the
people
with
the
public
and
then
also
among
ourselves.
G
That's
another
important
thing,
because
remember
I
just
I
do
I
make
my
choice
of
decisions
based
on
our
conversation,
our
discussion,
you
know
by
pros
and
cons
and
perspectives,
and
whatever
we
do.
I
think
that's
the
valuable
piece
of
what
we
do
as
a
council
and
so
for
all
those
reasons
I
believe
you
still
ultimately
have
to
recourse
to
go
to
the
superior
court.
Anyway
right
you
have,
and
so
I
really
think
this
is
a
improvement.
It's
about
time
that
we
get
out
of
this
process,
and
you
know
I
should.
G
G
I
didn't
get
all
the
the
name
of
sally
if
you
can
and
also
I
have
a
sense
that
you
haven't
finished
all
your
thought,
thoughts
thinking
process,
so
I
would
like
to
see
you
present
give
to
the
city
manager
or
the
city
clerk.
Whatever
else
you
want
to
say
completely,
and
I
would
like
to
hear
that
and
I
like
to
be
able
to
as
part
of
the
communication
with
the
public.
Thank
you.
G
A
AJ
Well,
you
will
not
be
subject
to
for
certainly
for
process
one
to
the
the
appearance
of
fairness
doctrine
that
limits
your
ability
to
to
talk
to
people,
because
you
may
be
a
judge
so
that
wouldn't
apply
anymore.
AJ
Certainly
in
the
process.
One
decision
for
process
three
rezones-
you
are
still
limited
to
making
a
decision
based
on
the
record
of
the
hearing,
examiner
and
and
the
hearing
examiner's
recommendation,
so
people
should
still
be
encouraged
to
make
sure
they
get
involved
in
the
hearing
examiner
process.
S
S
S
Ultimately,
there
is
less
benefit
to
having
the
quasi-judicial
then
benefits,
because
it
cuts
us
off
from
being
able
to
engage
with
the
community
and
we're
limited
by
what's
in
the
closed
record,
so
it
seems
as
though
whatever
we
thought
we
might
be
able
to
lend
to
the
process
really
did
not.
I
did
not
find
that
to
be
the
case,
so
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
we
have
this
in
front
of
us.
S
The
one
comment
I
would
make,
though,
as
I'm
listening
to
the
public,
is
whether,
as
we
look
at
our
notification
process,
whether
we
should
reevaluate
the
timeline
and
and
how
much
time
we
provide
the
notice
to
be
able
to
the
public
to
understand
what
that
looks
like
and
then
my,
I
guess,
there's
two
questions.
My
second
one
is
those
those
processes
that
are
already
in
place.
U
AL
So,
just
briefly
on
that,
so
there
the
project
has
is,
was
noted
in
the
public
comments.
The
park
point
project,
it's
a
pud
has
been
in
process
for
a
fairly
extensive
amount
of
time
has
gone
through
modifications,
I'm
not
familiar
with
exactly
where
we
are
in
the
timeline,
but
I
do
know
that
we
are
hearing
from
the
the
developer
that
they're
getting
anxious
about
the
amount
of
time
it's
taking
in
process.
But
that
being
said,
certainly
there
is
time
for
additional
comment.
AL
A
Hey
deputy
mayor,
followed
by
councilmember
stokes.
H
Thank
you
mayor.
First
of
all,
kathy
a
great
presentation.
I
think
you've
laid
out
the
the
argument
very
well,
including
the
the
the
timeline
here,
and
I
think
the
the
the
benefits
to
this
is,
you
know,
couldn't
be
more
more
clear
in
terms
of
optimizing,
our
legislative
role
and
policy-making
role,
promoting
that
fair,
independent,
efficient
and
efficient
land
use
decision-making
and
the
public
engagement
piece
which,
for
me-
and
I
think
for
all
my
colleagues
as
well
we're
even
sitting
here.
H
We
want
to
be
engaged
and
I'm
tired
of
having
to
keep
a
running
list
of
topics
that
I
can
or
can't
talk
about,
because
it
might
become
quasi-judicial
and
that's
really
frustrating
for
all
of
us
to
hear
when
we're
trying
to
engage
with
with
the
public
on
really
important
issues
and
issues
that
mean
a
lot
to
residents
in
the
city.
H
So
I'm
I'm
in
favor
of
this
I'd
like
to
echo
councilmember
zahn's
comments
a
little
bit
in
terms
of
the
the
process,
the
notification
process
a
little
bit
on
the
timeline,
but
also
just
in
terms
of
how-
and
this
has
come
up
numerous
times.
I
think
over
the
over
the
years
in
terms
of
how
we're
we're
notifying
residents
in
the
public.
It's
it's
not
just
a
timeline
issue.
H
I
think
any
of
us
have
heard
about
this,
so
you
know,
I
think
those
notifications
really
need
to
be
multiple
in
multiple
places
to
ensure
that
the
residents
are
are
hearing
these
important
topics
so
that
they
can
participate
in
the
process
and
share
their
their
thoughts
with
us,
but
other
than
that
again
great
presentation,
I'll
be
voting
for
this.
Thank
you.
Councilmember.
A
R
Yeah,
I
agree
with
the
comments
made.
I
you
know
even
well,
actually
being
an
attorney
and
one
other
attorney.
R
So
I
agree
the
biggest
thing
is
this
will
give
us
the
opportunity
to
really
engage
with
the
community
as
we
should
and
to
learn
more
about
this,
with
not
having
to
stay
in
a
confined
dimension
and
save
time
and
money.
It's
a
win
all
the
way
around,
and
so
I'm
very
pleased
with
this.
I
think
we
are
we've
done
a
good
job
of
we
can
always
do
a
better
job
of
communication.
R
R
But
when
it
comes
down
to
it,
I'm
glad
we
we've
done
this
and
it's
it's.
You
know
a
few
few
years
a
few
years
late,
but
you
know
you
can't
once
you
get
there,
then
you
move
forward,
so
I'm
ready
to
vote
for
it.
A
Okay,
so
do
deputy
mayor.
Would
you
like
to
make
a
motion.
H
H
A
Okay,
we
have
two
study
session
items,
but
only
one
with
with
a
discussion
or
and
the
first
one
is
they're,
both
information.
Only
mr
miyake
would
you
like
to.
U
Thank
you
mayor
council
members.
The
first
item
is
on
the
council's
pledge
to
review
the
police
department's
use
of
policies.
This
is
an
informational
briefing,
as
you
mentioned,
there's
no
council
decision
or
action
that
is
needed
this
evening.
So
joining
us
this
evening
is
nathan,
mccommon,
deputy
city
manager,
chief
wendell,
shirley
assistant,
chief,
andrew
popchak,
megan,
black
public
information
officer,
as
well
as
sergeant
joe
ingman,
who
I
believe
is
going
to
be
joining
us
virtually
and
both
all
from
the
police
department.
AM
AM
As
the
city
manager
said,
this
is
for
information
only
and
you're
welcome
to
follow
along
with
me
on
the
slide,
I'm
going
to
walk
a
little
bit
through
history,
how
we
got
to
today
and
let
the
rest
take
it
from
there
as
city
manager,
miyake
highlighted
the
presentation
this
evening
comes
as
a
result
of
work
that
was
prompted
by
the
council's
pledge
to
take
a
thorough
look
at
bellevue's
police
use
of
force
policies
and
that
pledge
was
established
june
11
2020.,
the
council
city
manager,
miyaki
and
police
chief
milet
at
the
time
all
welcomed
the
scrutiny
recognizing
that
bellevue
is
not
exempt
from
any
challenge.
AM
The
bellevue
police
department
has
an
established
history,
seeking
continuous
improvement
and
looking
for
better
ways
to
serve
the
bellevue
community.
To
support
that
commitment,
this
department
has
repeatedly
maintained
its
accreditation
through
kalia
as
one
method
of
pushing
the
team
to
high
standards
and
effective
community
policing
and
then
in
advancing
the
council's
pledge.
AM
Then,
in
june
of
2021,
chief
milette
and
myself
came
before
the
council
and
and
talked
about
how
we
would
advance
the
council's
pledge
chief
milette
committed
to
developing
a
path
forward
on
all
47
recommendations
and
that
none
of
them
would
be
put
on
the
shelf.
AM
He
also
committed
to
returning
to
council
over
the
next
year
on,
on
a
quarterly
basis
to
share
the
progress,
and
since
that
time
the
council
has
heard
quarterly
updates
from
chief
shirley
on
how
the
department
has
moved
through
the
recommendations,
and
it's
been
a
year
now,
since
we
launched
that
work
and
we've
taken
action
on
all
47
recommendations.
So
with
that
I'll
turn
the
presentation
over
to
chief
shirley.
Thank
you.
AN
Good
evening,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor,
newinghouse
and
city
council
members,
I'm
pleased
to
be
here
tonight
to
provide
you
with
our
latest
progress
report
regarding
the
bellevue
police
department's
responsiveness
to
the
recommendations
identified
by
the
office
of
independent
review
oir
report
concerning
the
bellevue
police
department's
use
of
force.
I
first
would
like
to
take
an
opportunity
to
acknowledge
the
city
council
for
your
proactive
approach
and
decision
to
have
the
police
department's
use
of
force
policies
reviewed
and
hiring
the
oir
group.
AN
I
can
assure
you
and
the
community
that
this
has
not
been
just
a
check
the
box
exercise,
but
a
meaningful
review
with
robust
discussions
throughout
our
police
department.
Our
goal
has
been
to
respond
to
all
the
recommendations
that
serve
to
make
us
a
better
police
department.
Throughout
the
process.
Our
department
has
been
open
to
listening
to
the
community
and
to
the
national
discussion
on
policing
and
to
be
willing
to
change
in
order
to
make
sure
we
get
it
right.
AN
AN
Since
the
last
update
we
provided
in
january
to
date,
we
have
responded
to
all
47
recommendations
and
have
a
clear
path
forward
to
addressing
all
recommendations,
thus
fulfilling
council's
pledge
most
of
the
final
15
recommendations,
focus
on
rel
related
to
use
of
force,
reporting,
use
of
force,
review
and
critical
incident
responses
and
updating
the
early
intervention
system.
Many
of
these
recommendations
were
already
part
of
our
procedures
and
practices,
but
we
took
that
opportunity
to
incorporate
them
into
our
written
policy
manual.
AN
Here
is
a
quick
overview
highlighting
a
few
of
the
recommendations.
Number
seven.
Our
school
resource
officers
have
been
provided
additional
guidance
and
de-escalation.
However,
the
sros
have
not
been
in
the
schools
since
the
beginning
of
covet
and
we
have
continued
to
work
with
the
bellevue
school
district
in
reimagining.
The
sro
program.
AO
AM
AB
AN
AN
This
is
a
critical
policy
revision
to
ensure
we
are
appropriately
responding
to
people
in
crisis.
For
example,
we
piloted
the
community
crisis
assistance
team,
better
known
as
ccat,
which
teamed
up
with
a
mental
health
worker
and
a
special
trained
police
officer
with
the
goal
of
getting
people
the
right
services
and
to
ensure
safety
for
all
involved.
AN
AN
We
have
revised
these
policies
as
recommended
and
have
been.
They
have
been
presented
to
the
affected
unions
before
final
publication
recommendations.
Four
five
and
eleven.
We
adopted
all
the
recommendations
requiring
officers
to
document
de-escalation
tactics
and
supervisor
review
for
each
incident
to
ensure
appropriate
de-escalation
tactics
were
used,

AN
AN
AN
AN
AO
You
very
much
chief
well
over
the
last
year
and
a
half
we've
heard
loud
and
clear
from
our
community
that
they
want
more
transparency.
They
want
to
hear
about
what
we
do
when
we
do
it
and
why
we
do
it
and
how
we
do
it.
In
response
to
that,
we've
been
working
very
hard
to
update
our
transparency
and
accountability
page
on
the
police
department
website.
AO
AO
Other
dashboards
provide
information
on
the
use
of
force,
incidents
for
the
department
over
the
past
five
years
and
all
the
information
related
to
our
workforce,
composition
and
diversity
hiring.
Finally,
we
have
a
communications
community
engagement
portal,
and
this
allows
our
community
to
easily
connect
with
the
police
department
in
a
variety
of
ways
and
provide
feedback.
We
have
also
completed
extensive
outreach
with
both
internal
and
external
stakeholders
to
get
their
feedback
on
this
site.
This
input
has
been
valuable
in
creating
a
website
that
is
both
informative
and
user
friendly.
AO
AP
Last
time
we
were
here
whose
problem
was
here,
we
had
some
discussions
about
the
anti-crime
initiative
and
we
advised
that
we
would
return
which
we
are
back
today.
AP
AP
This
graph
here
shows
the
crimes
against
property
in
bellevue.
This
was
one
of
our
key
focuses
of
the
police
department
to
make
sure
this
is
going
the
right
direction,
as
you
can
see
by
the
graph
from
the
right
we've
actually
seen
a
steady
decline
month
after
month
in
2022,
and
part
of
that
is
due
to
the
actions
of
our
officers
and
changing
the
way
we
address
crime.
AP
So,
during
this
presentation,
we're
going
to
discuss
that
approach
and
tactics,
we
take
to
address
those
concerns
and
we
do
we're
doing
all
of
this
in
partnership
with
our
community.
So,
first
of
all,
it's
all
about
data.
This
is
actually
a
slide
showing
shoplifting
the
last
45
days
by
location.
This
is
actually
zoomable,
so
officers
can
zoom
into
it
and
zoom
out
to
see
which
businesses
are
being
affected
or
locations
are
being
affected
for
this,
and
what
this
anti-crime
initiative
allows
us
to
do
is
we're
able
to
quickly
analyze
the
data
and
visualize
it.
AP
AP
So
this
actually
is
a
visualization
of
the
location
where
we've
run
operations
already,
these
operations
can
be
business,
specific
location,
specific,
for
example,
there's
a
business,
that's
experiencing
a
large
amount
of
shoplifting.
We
can
actually
go
there,
work
with
the
owners
or
with
the
security
personnel
to
have
an
operation
occur
at
that
location.
AP
AP
AP
So
this
shows
a
number
of
operations
run
by
each
captain
in
each
sector
of
the
city.
The
operations
themselves
in
this
anti-crime
initiative
are
our
patrol
captains,
because
they're
already
sector
captains
have
those
relationships
with
the
community.
They
actually
are
able
to
use
those
relationships
to
then
deploy
our
officers
into
those
areas,
and
part
of
this
is
a
city-wide
initiative.
AP
It's
also
working,
like
I
said,
in
cooperation
with
the
business
owners.
We
communicate
ahead
of
time
and
making
sure
they're
aware
that
we're
in
the
area,
as
well
as
the
community
members
that
address
the
concerns
with
us.
AP
These
are
actually
some
photographs
from
actual
operations
that
we've
already
run
these
visit.
These
operations
can
be
high
visibility
or
plain
clothes.
It
really
depends
on
what
the
needs
are
of
the
operation
itself
and
our
captains
have
the
ability
to
deploy
those
officers
how
they
see
fit
to
try
to
address
it.
The
high
visibility
gives
that
visible
appearance
of
police
officers
in
the
area,
it's
putting
a
large
number
of
officers
in
that
geographic
area.
So
you
see
the
police
officers
there.
AP
AP
It's
about
the
data.
Are
we
reducing
crime,
because
a
crime
that
is
prevented
is
more
important
than
a
criminal
arrested,
because
the
person
is
not
feeling
victimized
people
feel
safe
in
their
community,
there's
one
less
person
involved
in
the
criminal
justice
system
and
it
addresses
both
the
fear
of
crime,
as
well
as
the
actual
crime
rate.
So
back
over
the
chief.
Thank
you
andrew.
AN
Again
so
I'd
like
to
thank
the
council
for
your
leadership
in
pledging
this
extensive
review,
we
have
now
addressed
all
47
of
the
oir
recommendations
and
have
a
clear
path
forward
to
adopting
the
remaining
ones.
Once
after
they're
reviewed
by
the
unions,
we
look
forward
to
communicating
with
you
again
when
the
final
recommendations
have
been
adopted
and
presented,
and
also
present
you
with
the
mou
for
the
school
resource
officer
program
to
address
that
issue.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
AQ
All
right,
thank
you,
mayor,
thank
you
for
the
presentation
and
appreciate
the
as
you
can
imagine.
The
data
informed
approach
to
policing,
and
also
the
multi-faceted
approach
to
dealing
with
each
situation
independently,
based
on
what's
happening
in
that
moment,
appreciate
that
a
couple
questions
in
terms
of
the
website
really
like
and
I've
already
perused
it
and
really
like.
What's
on
there?
What
are
the
next
steps
for
that
in
terms
of
like
a
road
map?
AQ
What
do
you
see
as
coming
next
to
enhance
the
site,
and
I
was
also
curious
about
who
the
stakeholders
were,
that
provided
feedback?
You
just
say
stakeholder
groups
that
provided
feedback
on
the
website
and
then
my
last
question
the
source
of
the
data.
So
it's
real
time.
Where
are
those
data
coming
from.
AP
With
the
first
question
there,
what
comes
next,
so
I
think
part
of
that
is
what
data
does
the
community
want
from
here,
because,
as
we
rolled
this
out
to
address
second
question
a
little
bit
there,
we
sent
this
to
advisory
councils.
We
put
it
up
and
we
we
sought
feedback
from
the
community
as
well
to
what
have
you
guys
seen
on
there?
What
more
information
do
you
want?
AP
It's
something
if
we
can
pull
the
information
we
want
to
make
this
as
automated
possible
in
the
background
and
that's
what's
happening,
is
pulling
from
our
our
systems
that
we
already
have
and
just
populating
into
a
dashboard
there's
a
public-facing
dashboard,
which
is
the
dashboard
that
the
community
can
see.
Our
officers
for
our
internal
operations
have
more
data
because
we
want
to
make
sure
we're
filtering
the
data
of
the
public
so
that
certain
things
are
filtered
out
and
I
think
that's
an
open
question
right
there.
AP
If
community
anybody
who's
interested
in
like
hey,
do
you
have
this
data
or
have
access
to
it?
We
believe
in
that
transparency,
if
we
can
make
it
public,
we'd
like
to
show
it
on
there,
but
making
sure
that
we're
presenting
our
data
that
somebody
else
can
compare
it
to
cut
it
anything.
You
want
to
add.
AO
I
excuse
me
so
as
far
as
our
engagement
with
the
stakeholders,
all
of
our
advisory
council
members,
were
sent
out
and
solicited
feedback.
We
stood
up
a
engaging
bellevue
website
and
we
solicited
feedback
as
well,
and
we
put
it
out
to
the
public.
So
any
of
the
comments
that
we
got
it,
it
really
did
help
us
hone
in
and
look
at
it
from
different
lenses,
and
we
made
significant
changes
as
a
result
of
that
and
we
are
open
to
more
feedback.
AN
AQ
AP
AQ
Got
it?
That's,
that's
pretty
cool!
That's
coming
directly
from
norcom.
My
only
comment
would
be
when
we
do
our
survey.
I
think
it
would
be
interesting
to
compare
the
data
in
the
dashboard
with
the
surveyed
responses,
segmented
by
a
neighborhood
area,
so
that
we
could
just
see
as
you're
talking
about
reducing
the
fear
of
crime
in
actual
crime,
gauging
that
sentiment
in
the
performance
survey
that
goes
out
or
a
different
survey.
H
Thank
you
mayor.
First,
great
presentation
really
appreciate
it
and
that
website
wouldn't
surprise
me.
If
that
wasn't,
we
could
say
an
award-winning
website
here
in
the
next
year
or
so
so
that's
just
great
and
thank
you
all
from
from
day
one
going
back
to
chief
mylett.
This
was
always
taking
seriously.
I'm
glad
you
said
it
chief
that
this
wasn't
just
a
check
the
box
situation.
H
This
was
taken
at
face
value,
really
walk
through
every
one
of
these
47
recommendations,
but
thank
you
so
much
for
your
openness
to
continuous
improvement
for
constantly
looking
at
the
highest
possible
standards
and
trying
to
adopt
them
into
our
our
code,
which
a
lot
of
this
process
was
was
really
just
getting
it
in
the
policy
codifying
this
so
and
that's
an
important
thing
to
do.
It's
one
thing
to
think
it,
or
you
know
that's
kind
of
our
informal
policy,
but
to
actually
have
it
written
down,
certainly
is
important.
H
So
I'm
glad
we
went
through
this
this
this
this
council
pledge
and
really
admire
the
way
the
whole
department
has
approached
it.
A
couple
of
questions
based
on
on
the
presentation
here
so
going
to
the
anti-crime
initiative.
H
So
what
I've
heard
residents
time
and
time
again
talk
about
shoplifting
is
the
absolute
brazen
approach
that
some
of
these
shoplifters
take,
where
they
don't
care.
What
the
repercussions
are.
H
H
So
what
is
the
repercussions
that
we're
trying
to
highlight
here
in
order
to
really
reduce
long-term
the
amount
of
shoplifting
that
we
have
seen
a
very
sharp
increase,
because
unless
our
in
my
mind,
unless
there
are
some
repercussions,
this
might
go
away
for
a
little
while,
but
then
it's
going
to
come
come
come
right
back
and
I'll.
Just
give
you
a
quick
antidote,
I
mean
my
local
qfc
had
over
50
000
dollars
just
of
alcohol
alone
stolen
from
that
store,
and
they
have
a
policy
not
to
engage
with
shoplifters.
H
So
now
everything
is
behind
lock
and
key,
so
it
really
didn't
stop
it
per
se,
because
now
they're
moving
on
to
other
products
within
the
store.
So
that's
one
question
that
I
have
then
I'll
have
my
other
question
after
that.
But
you
surely
please
yeah
I'll.
AN
Start
off
well,
first
of
all,
we
don't
have
any
control
over
right
what
the
stores
decide
to
do
in
terms
of
their
employees,
whether
they
engage
or
not.
AN
But
I
will
say
this:
we
know
the
shoplifting
is
one
of
those
property
crimes
that
there's
been
a
a
significant
uptick
and
and
we've
taken
a
a
zero
stance
on
that,
because
there
has
to
be
consequences
if
we
get
called
and
and
and
you're
detained
by
us
for
shoplifting
and
and
we
can
make
an
arrest
we're
going
to
make
the
arrest,
because
I
think
it's
important
to
to
make
sure
people
understand,
there's
consequences
to
actions
now.
AN
On
top
of
that,
we
still
can
look
at
a
person
and
if
there's
some
intervention,
things
that
maybe
a
substance,
abuse
issue
or
something
else
that's
going
on.
That
can
happen
too
right.
It's
the
three-pronged
approach,
prevention,
intervention
and
enforcement,
and
so
we're
certainly
not
saying
people
are
going
to
be
allowed
to
come
and
shoplift
and
there's
going
to
be
no
consequences
because
there
has
to
be-
and
so
that's
kind
of
our
approach
with
it
and
we're
working
closely
with
the
business
owners.
AN
We
joined
the
the
organized
retail
theft
coming
out
of
the
ag's
office
as
well,
because
some
of
this
is
organized
as
well,
and
so
we're
we're
enforcing
those
laws
pretty
closely
anything
else.
You
want.
AP
We
have
the
detective
going
okay,
well,
that's
a
different
different
status
and
mentally
he'll
individual
is
trying
to
steal
something.
We
want
to
have
that
discretion
in
that
process.
But
if
it's
someone
that's
out
there
committing
those
crimes,
we
want
to
make
sure
we
have
the
proper
resources
in
place
to
go.
AP
No
we're
going
to
charge
you
for
as
many
of
these
crimes
as
possible
and
look
at
the
enhancements
of
organized
retail
theft
versus
theft,
and
that's
something
where
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
those
resources
in
place
to
address
those
concerns
and
also,
if
the
store,
we're
willing
to
work
with
any
of
those
stores
that
come
forward
or
businesses
and
we're
standing
there
ready
to
partner
with
them
so
that
isn't
their
employees.
Taking
that
step
to
try
to
stop
them.
AP
It's
one
of
our
officers
there
that's
in
plain
clothes,
willing
to
stop
the
person
walking
out
and
that's
a
key
piece
where
they
may
have
a
rule
against
that
by
partnering
with
us.
We
can
actually
make
those
stops
and
make
those
arrests
and
detentions
where
they
can't.
So
we
stand
ready
to
stand
with
our
partners
in
the
community
and
the
business
community
to
make
sure
that
we're
making
those
arrests.
H
Thank
you
excellent
answer.
My
next
question
was
shirley.
You
had
mentioned
reimagining,
sros
and
and
I'll
fully
admit.
When
I
hear
reimagining,
I
get
a
little
bit
concerned
as
I
think
that
term
has
led
to
some,
quite
frankly
some
bad
policy
decisions
as
it
relates
to
law
enforcement.
So
I'm
just
curious
what
that
looks
like
and
what
the
current
status
is
with
srs.
I
believe
they
are
going
back
to
one
or
two
schools,
but
but
in
a
slightly
different
manner.
H
AN
Well,
so
when
I,
when
I
say
re
reimagining
and
I
know
the
word
has
been
used
loosely
and
mean
different
things
to
people,
but
for
me
it
just
means
rethinking
rethinking
the
current
model
right,
and
so
we
started
working
very
closely
with
the
school
months
ago.
Put
together
a
small
committee
of
people
from
the
department
and
the
district
and
and
put
them
in
a
room
and
said
here
are
the
concerns,
because
you're
right,
many
people
never
wanted
the
sros
to
leave.
AN
AN
But
I
I'm
really
proud
of.
I
think
what
we
together
were
able
to
put
together,
and
I
think
most
people
will
be
very
happy
and
it
will
accomplish
all
the
same
things
that
everybody
always
wanted
and
it
taken
to
consideration
some
of
the
concerns
that
people
had
and
there
were
legitimate
concerns,
whether
people
agreed
with
them
or
not.
They
were
real
to
them,
and
so
we
took
that
into
consideration
and,
like
I
said,
I
think
we
we
will
have
a
pretty
good
product
at
the
end.
Thank
you.
S
Yes,
thank
you.
You
know
thank
you,
chief
and
and
all
the
work
that
you've
done
to
work
on
this.
I
really
appreciate
the
fact
that
you
went
beyond
the
oir
about
use
of
force
and
really
looked
holistically
at
really
community-centered
partnership,
policing,
which
you
know,
that's
a
culture
that
I
think
we're
really
very
proud
of,
and
we
continue
to
learn
and
grow
and
get
better.
S
I
appreciated
the
comments
you
made
about
the
sro,
because
what
I
hear
you
saying
is
that
as
we
learn,
we
are
continuously
improving
on
how
we
deliver
service
and
making
sure
that
it's
grounded
by
all
the
voices
that
you
hear.
So
I
really
appreciate
that
part
and
the
prevention
intervention
and
consequence
we
need
all
three
which
absolutely
so
happy
that
we
continue
to
have
that
having
the
dashboard.
S
I
do
have
some
a
couple
of
questions
though,
and
I'll
just
read
just
put
them
out
there
and
then
you
can
respond.
One
is
as
you've
looked
at
the
data.
What
kind
of
insight
have
have
you
been
able
to
glean
from
the
data
that
we've
been
collecting
and
two
when
I
thought
about
the
crowd,
control
policy?
Number
33:
it
prompted
me
to
think
about,
as
we
do
mutual
aid
with
other
cities.
How
does
that
crowd
control
policy?
We
have
dovetail
if
the
other
city's
policies
might
be
different
than
ours.
S
S
What
I'm
wondering
is
how
that
fits
in
with
the
988
dispatch
and
as
they
come
in,
how
that
works
with
our
own
dispatch.
How
we're
educating
our
91188
on
how
what
information
is
really
helpful
for
us
to
be
able
to
have
the
best
response,
and
then,
lastly,
I
know
we-
we
talked
a
little
bit
about
property
crimes
which
absolutely
we've
been
hearing
from
the
community
is
an
issue,
the
other
one
I'm
hearing
is
the
speeding
in
our
streets
and
the
drag
racing
in
our
streets,
and
so
I
wasn't
sure,
as
you
looked
at
increased
police.
AN
So
the
first-
if
I
heard
you
correctly,
your
first
part
of
your
question
was:
what
are
we
gleaning
from
the
data
dashboard?
Is
that
what
you're
saying
in
general
and
then
I'll
hand
it
over
to
assistant
chief
papa
chuck
on
the
crowd,
control
issue
and
speeding?
Well
being
that
we
have
different
categories
in
the
data
dashboard?
Let's
just
use
crime
right.
It's
certainly
telling
us
and
we've
known
this
and
it's
kind
of
confirming
it
too
right
in
the
region.
AN
Quite
frankly,
across
the
country,
property
crime
there's
been
an
uptick
in
property
crime
in
our
region
for
sure
car
burglaries,
car
thefts
shoplifting,
especially
catalytic
converters
right,
that's
been
a
huge
thing
in
in
the
state
of
washington,
and
so
that
certainly
is
telling
us
that
there
is
some
organized
crime
going
on
here
and
it's
profitable
right,
someone's
buying
these
catalytic
converters.
That's
why
people
are
continuing
to
steal
them
right,
and
so
we've
we've
used
that
data
and
that
kind
of
matches.
AN
What
we're
seeing
in
our
data
dashboard,
whereas
bellevue
is
not
immune
from
that
right.
We
have
a
lot
of
cars
here.
We
have
a
lot
of
shopping,
centers
and
people
come
here,
and
so
what
we've
had
to
do
is
think,
regionally
and
think
more
task
force
wise
communicating
with
our
other
law
enforcement
partners,
because
people
who
steal
cars
have
no
boundaries,
and-
and
so
we
start
talking
to
kirkland
or
redmond
or
seattle
or
whomever
and
start
working
closely
together
and
using
some
of
our
other
resources.
AN
Undercover
resources
that
you
may
never
see
to
go
after
some
of
these
individuals
and
not
only
just
going
after
the
people
that
are
stealing
but
getting
intelligence
and
going
after
the
buyers
right
and
so
in
a
snapshot.
That's
what
we're
gleaning
that
this
is
an
issue
that,
if
a
city
doesn't
do
what
we're
doing
you
know
take
the
initiative.
AN
It
will
continue.
So
that's
the
part,
that's
generally
what
we're
gleaning
from
our
data
dashboard,
but
we
also
look
at
you
know
our
hiring
practices
and
diversity
in
the
police
department
and
trying
to
improve
that
as
well.
So
there's
good
information
being
gleaned
and
it
will
continue
and
then
I'll
hand
it
over
to
assistant
chief
papa
truck
on
the
crowd,
control
issue.
Yeah.
AP
So
our
policy
for,
if
our
officers
are
deployed
in
a
mutual
capacity,
does
not
change
they're
still
required
to
abide
by
all
city
of
bellevue
policies
if
they're
deployed
to
another
city
and
that's
something
that
when
we
get
that
mutual
aid
request,
we
make
sure
we
evaluate
internally
within
our
procedures,
to
make
sure
there's
nothing
in
conflict
by
sending
those
officers
to
a
different
location,
because
we
don't
want
to
have
a
conflicting
rule.
AP
If
it's
put
in
place
by
the
city
that
they're
going
to
that,
may
conflict
with
our
policy
and
that's
something
that
we
would
look
at
and
possibly
not
deploy
officers
into
a
situation
where
they're
placed
at
risk
by
that
deployment,
but
they're
always
bound
by
the
policy
because
they're
city
of
bellevue
employees.
So
those
would
not
change
if
they
get
sent
to
another
city.
AP
AP
We
can
also
look
at
collisions
that
are
occurring
in
certain
locations,
so
I
can
pull
up
a
dashboard
of
seeing
so
as
we
expand
this
in
the
use,
it's
something
where
we
can
more
effectively
deploy
our
motor
resources
to
address
those,
because
right
now
we're
using
tsrs
to
do
that.
So,
if
someone
writes
in
and
says
the
speeder
is
in
my
road,
we
don't
know
if
the
speeders
are
going
one
mile
an
hour
over
the
speed
limit,
because
it's
an
independent
resident,
that's
sending
us
this
versus
is
a
person
going
40
and
a
25.
AP
That's
a
difference!
So
by
doing
this
and
doing
an
announcement,
we
can
see
where
the
collisions
are
occurring
and
then
deploy
our
officers
more
effectively.
So
as
we
roll
this
out
and
keep
working
with
it,
it's
something
where
we
can
not
just
use
a
crime.
We
can
use
it
for
other
purposes
to
address
other
concerns
in
the
community,
about
traffic
safety,
about
the
theft
about
other
feelings
of
safety.
So,
as
we
expand
this
out,
we
can
look
at
other
different
things
to
deploy
our
officers
to
address.
AP
It
is
a
new
program
for
everyone
as
we
go
into
it,
but
it's
something
that
we're
in
active
communication
with
our
fire
department
and
the
bellevue
police
department
has
a
long
history
of
partnership
with
the
fire
department
and
we're
always
looking
out
what's
best
for
the
resident
that
we're
dealing
with
whether
it
be
the
police
department
dealing
with
them
with
the
fire
department
dealing
with
them.
We
want
the
best
outcome
and
that's
something
that
we're
always
in
partnership
with
them,
and
we
don't
have
a
answer
for
you
yet
on
that.
AN
And
I
think
the
last
part
of
your
question
was
intervention
while
we're
not
looking
at
courts
right
now,
we
certainly
are
working
with
other
social
service
providers.
If
you
will
that's
what
I
mean
by
if
someone
shoplifting
and
that's
a
regular
okay,
they're
gonna,
there's
gonna
be
consequences
attached
to
that.
But
then
we're
also
gonna
find
out
all
right.
Does
this
person
have
some
other
challenges
that
maybe
we
can
link
them
to
some
services,
so
that
three-prong
approach
is
always
at
play,
right,
prevention,
intervention
and
enforcement?
So
I
think
we've
asked.
A
G
Thank
you.
Well,
public
safety
is
always
number
one
for
the
city
of
bellevue
and
I
think
we
should
see
that
people
come
to
bellevue.
You
know
we
know
because
they
want
to
be
safe
and
they
know
it's
safe,
and
so,
but
you
know,
as
also
you
know,
that
bellevue
has
been
traditionally
and
fundamentally,
we
build
a
good
foundation,
and
this
has
always
been
here.
G
So
it's
a
compliment
to
all
the
past
police
officers
and
the
chiefs
and
the
leadership,
and
so
but,
however,
we
also
recognize
you
know
things
change
and
you
have
a
very
complicated,
very
complex
situation
to
deal
with.
Nothing
stays
the
same
status
code.
You
know,
we
know
this.
Our
society
has
gone
through
so
much.
You
know
changes
in
the
last
few
years
and
the
whole
nation,
sometimes
I
feel,
is
in
turmoil,
but
we're
still
you
know
the
safest
place
that
I
know
of
and
with
the
envy
of
a
lot
of
people.
G
G
You
know
I
always
say
that
proof
in
the
pudding
is
in
the
eating
right,
and
so
it
is
what
you
see,
what
we've
got,
what
we
have-
and
you
know
my
first-hand
information
I
can
tell
you
is
you
know-
I've
talked
to
the
chief
a
number
of
times
and
I've
seen
the
community
concerns
all
the
things
that
have
been
talked
about.
G
You
know
at
the
council
and
I'm
sure
there's
a
lot
more,
but
you
know
when
citizen
brought
to
your
attention
when
they
talked
to
me
through
me
that
you've
responded
and
you've
taken
care
of
those
things,
and
so
we
don't
need
to
go
through
it
all,
because
we
can
say
something
today
tomorrow
will
be
different
and
you,
but
we
trust
you
that
you
can
handle
very
well
example.
Obviously
it's
that
we
have
adopted
the
oi,
the
47
recommendations.
G
You
know
you
just
don't
write
it
off
when
we
took
on
that
pledge.
You
know.
I
really
appreciate
the
mayor
and
the
council.
We
don't
know
what
we're
going
to
get.
You
know
it's
a
it's
a
brave
step
of
faith,
and
but
now
we
see
what
we've
accomplished
and
another
thing
is
we're
still
talking
about,
sometimes
something
in
the
future
sro.
G
You
know
when
you
come
in,
I'm
sure
that
see
if
you
didn't
know
what
do
I
talking
about.
You
know
for
people.
I
knew
what
we
had
when
we
were.
So
it's
really
something
the
school
wants,
it's
good
for
the
communities.
It's
making
sure
the
young
people
understand
that
police
officers
are
friends,
it's
officer
friendly,
it's
not
somebody
who
go
in
there
and
try
to
lock
up
the
kids.
G
You
know
hassle
them
so,
but
it
has
changed
so
things
are
different
and
but
you
again
have
demonstrated
you
with
all
the
good
things
you
just
talked
about.
You
know
like
database
like
technology,
all
the
issues
they
all
come
with
the
territory
and
so
they're
all
part
and
possible
of
what
you
have
to
do.
It's
very
complicated,
complicated,
very
complex,
but
you've
done
very
well.
So
I
I
believe
that
you
know
shoplifting
is
one
obviously
you've
heard
from
me
many
times,
factories.
G
Everything
will
talk
about
people
walk
out,
but
you
know
that
depends
on
the
merchants.
What
do
they
want
to
do
the
people?
How
can
we
handle
it
at
the
same
time?
There's
a
lot
of
complexities.
So
it's
up
to
you
guys.
You
know,
I'm
not
going
to
tell
you
how
to
run
your
office,
how
to
do
your
business
because
you
know
it's
it's
something
that
you
have
to
prove
and
you
have
done
so
and
there
will
be
more
at
the
beginning
of
this
meeting,
we'll
talk
about
councilman
robertson's,
you
know
proposal
or
comment.
G
G
Public
safety
is,
you
know,
doing
things
the
right
for
the
public
safety
on
whatever
it
may
be,
and
that
takes
you
who
is
you
know,
cognizant
who's
responsible
with
the
principle
of
this
reason
we
talk
about,
and
I
think
that
makes
a
lot
of
sense.
So
we
I
want
to
just
say
that
we
appreciate
what
you're
doing,
and
I
appreciate
your
you
know:
police
officers,
everyone.
You
know
people
who've
been
there
for
many
years.
G
Q
Thank
you.
Well,
I
couldn't
be
prouder
of
our
police
department.
It's
always
been
excellent,
but
it
just
seems
to
get
better
every
and
every
year,
and
so
thank
you
for
that.
I
know
that
this
city
trusts
you
to
really
look
out
for
them
and
and
care
for
the
city.
A
couple
of
comments.
One
is
when
you
were
here
last
time.
We
talked
about
the
increase
in
crime,
I'm
so
glad
that
the
city's
on
top
of
that-
but
we
have
you
know
we
have
seen
it.
Q
We
have
to
acknowledge
the
increase
in
property
and
violent
crime.
The
thing
that
is,
I
think
so,
concerning
for
some
people,
is
the
unpredictability
of
it.
I
know
that
there's
some
fear
out
there,
particularly
because
when
people
are
struggling
with
behavioral
health,
they're
really
unpredictable,
we've
seen
folks
throwing
rocks
at
cars
doing
damage
in
victoria
we've
seen
young
women
working
in
retail
stores
in
the
mall
getting
hassled
by
someone
in
a
behavioral
health
crisis.
Q
We've
seen
a
lot
of
those
kind
of
situations
across
the
city,
I'm
most
familiar
with
bactoria,
but
we've
seen
that
and
in
addition
to
the
shoplifting,
that's
causing
my
behavioral
health
and
other
issues.
So
I
think
that
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
are
continuing
to
look
at
that.
I
think
the
ccap
program
is
really
good.
I
definitely
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
on
that
issue
as
a
city,
because
not
just
on
the
police
department.
Q
I
guess
third
is
one
of
the
things
that
I
think
I
would
like
to
see
in
terms
of
information
coming
forward
at
the
budget,
and
I
don't
know
if
you
already
have
this
data,
so
I'm
going
to
ask
for
it
here.
It
may
be
already
in
the
dashboard
I'd
like
to
see
how
we
provide
the
level
of
service
within
the
city
of
bellevue,
whether
that's
the
number
of
law
enforcement
officers.
Q
We
have
on
staff
the
number
who
are
on
a
different
shift
based
on
population
and
of
course
we
have
a
different
daytime
population
as
a
nighttime
population
or
whether
it's
response
times
by
by
different
types
of
calls.
I
don't
know
what
the
best
practices
is.
I
think
we
had.
I
know
we
had
a
report
on
staffing.
Q
Q
Statistics
would
be
the
big
picture
and
then
so
I
don't
know
if
you
have
that
information
I'll,
let
you
talk
I'll
just
I
want
to
be
efficient
with
my
time
because
we
are
running
over
on
this
agenda
item,
but
if
we
have
that
and
if
we
don't
can
we
get
it?
Those
are
my
questions
and
then
I
just
wanted
to
lend
support
to
councilman
barksdale's
comment
about
the
surveying,
information,
segmented
by
neighborhood
and
perception.
Q
I
think
that's
a
really
smart
idea
and
something
that
will
help
us
make
sure
that
we
are
giving
care
and
safety
to
the
entire
city.
We
are
one
city,
but
we
are
one
city
made
up
by
neighborhoods
and
we
want
everyone
to
feel
safe.
So
if
you
have
that
level
of
service
information,
if
you
have,
if
you
have
it,
what
is
it
and
if
you
don't,
can
we
get
it
in
time
for
the
budget
discussion?
Thank
you.
AN
Yes,
I
would
just
say
this:
we
are
working
on
that,
so
you'll
be
happy
to
hear.
Q
R
Yeah,
I
don't
want
to
take
too
much
time.
We
are
kind
of
going
over,
but
very
good
conversation
and
I'm
you
know
we
do
have
a
great
police
department.
We
can
say
that
and
that's
we
can
save
back
for
a
long
time.
But
that's
that's
not
good
enough.
That's
we're
doing
better
and
I
think
that's
what's
important,
we're
learning
more-
and
I
think,
going
through
the
trauma
of
these
last
two
three
years
as
a
lot
of
places
have
freaked
out
and
we
didn't
we've
actually
approached
it
in
a
very.
R
I
think,
a
rational
and
productive
way
and
we're
a
better,
better
city,
better
police
department,
and
that's
that's
what
we're
all
striving
to
be.
You
don't
want
to
just
be
stuck,
as
you
know,
we're
really
good.
We
get
all
these
gold
stars,
but
I
really
appreciate
the
the
and
what
you've
looked
into
these
last
few
months
is
just
amazing.
R
In
terms
of
the
whole
long
picture,
I
did
have
a
couple
questions
on
it
and-
and
I
think
you
know
we
just
have
a
great
police
department
and
we
want
to
keep
it
that
way
and
we
want
to
actually
help
you
in
going
forward
on
these
things.
R
You
know,
and
I
think
I
really
appreciate
the
the
talking
about
the
c-cap
piece,
and
I
would
encourage
you
to
look
at
the
other
alternative
or
ways
to
to
complement
that
you
looked
at
that
as
how
it
would
work
and
you've
learned
a
lot
from
it,
and
maybe
there
are
some
other
things
that
could
be
woven
into
that
and
make
it
even
more
effective.
So
sometimes
you
need
to.
R
I
think
you
know
it's
easy
to
have
this
thing
you
work
on
and
then
you
want
to
keep
doing
that
and
it
may
be
the
best,
but
I
think
there's
some
other
things
to
look
at
so
I
know
you're
working
on
it
still,
and
I
would
you
know
like
to
see
that
at
least
taken
into
account.
Maybe
there
are
better
ways,
because
you
know
we
can
always
they're
different
places
where
the
police
officers
need
to
be,
and
so
I
think
that's
good
same
thing
with
sros.
R
I've
been
you
know,
zoned
the
school
bellevue
school
foundation
for
over
12
years.
I've
continually
been
working
with
them
for
a
long
time.
Ever
since
I
got
here
in
91
and
there's
a
lot
of
back
and
forth,
and
I
think
again,
this
is
one
where
sros
and
what
they
were
doing
is
was
okay.
But
there
was
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
concerns
and
problems
with
it,
and
I
think
again
what
you're
hopefully
approaching
on
is
something
that
that
works
even
better.
R
There
are
a
lot
of
parents
that,
like
it,
there
are
a
lot
of
parents
that
don't
they're
a
lot
of
kids
that,
like
it
a
lot
of
kids
that
don't.
I
was
on
a
team
to
take
kind
of
appeals
for
our
work
with
the
kids,
who
got
into
trouble
and
had
some
penalties
and
all,
and
we
reviewed
those
and
all
and
a
lot
of
it
came
down
to
where
it
seemed
that
the
sros
weren't
very
effective
in
that,
and
there
were
issues
on
it.
R
So
I
think
having
the
layoff
was
good
to
actually
take
a
look
at
it
and
putting
equity
and
caring
into
it.
As
opposed
to
just
saying
you
know,
this
is
a
police
officer
and
you
know
get
to
know
them
they're
good
and
all
that
I
actually
work
with
them
in
a
way.
R
It's
there
for
a
much
more
important
reason
and
so
I've.
You
know
pleased
your
approach
on
that.
The
other
last
thing
I
wanted
to
talk
about
is
that
again:
well,
the
other
thing
is
you're
not
just
going
out
and
putting
people
in
jail
you're,
as
you
said,
and
I
think
you
have
a
al.
All
of
you
have
a
very
good
approach
on.
This
is
how
you
deal
with
somebody.
Who's
done
something.
That's
that's
improper,
that's
wrong,
and
what's
the
reason,
what
are
they
doing
and
they're
all?
R
As
you
know,
you
know
better
than
anybody
that
they're
all
different
types
and
reasons
why
people
do
things
and
it's
a
hard,
hard
job
to
figure
that
out
and
to
deal
with
it.
So
I
think
you're
again.
Your
responses,
I
like
are
very
good
in
terms
of
you:
don't
just
take
them
and
put
them
in
jail.
I
mean
that
costs
a
lot
of
money
to
taxpayers.
It
costs
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
times.
It
keeps
people
from
ever
ever
having
a
chance
to
be
productive
in
life
again
and
so
you're
working
with
them.
R
R
It's
and
ties
into
the
cpap
I
see
cap
and
the
other
kind
of
some
other
approaches
of.
How
do
you
work
with
people
who
are
in
you
know,
need
help
and
who
are
in
trouble?
How
do
you
and
to
pop?
How
did
how
do
you?
How
do
you
determine
where
and
when
the
type
of
response
and
type
of
person
you
need
to
respond?
I
was
a
little
bit.
R
How
does
that
work
in
terms
of
how
do
you
do
that
communication,
because,
if
somebody's
doing
something
and
then
somebody
gets
stopped
or
whatever
arrested?
How
do
you
know
you
have
the
right
person
on
board,
and
I
it's
just
that
it
doesn't.
You
know
without
knowing
how
much
you're
functioning
it's
kind
of
hard
to
understand?
How
do
you
get
the
right
person
there
to
help
them
at
the
time
and
in
a
crisis?
R
Are
you
referring
to
like
a
ccat
response,
yeah
or
any
or
any
time
when
you
have
officers
go
out,
and
you
you're
not
quite
sure
what
you're
going
to
find
correct?
You
find
that
if
you
go
out
and
send
an
officer
out,
you
go
out
and
you
find
out
that
somebody
that
really
needs
some
some
mental
health
and
you're
there.
How
do
you
coordinate
that
on
a
time
factor
absolutely.
AP
So
that
is
part
of
what
we
designed
into
the
ccat
process
is
that
we
started
the
diversion
process
at
dispatch.
If
it
is
someone
calling
to
dispatch,
the
dispatcher
could
clearly
tell
that
that
individual
had
some
sort
of
crisis
going
on
they
would
be.
They
can
divert
that
person
there
and
say
we're
sending
a
ccap
team,
where
it's
a
mental
health
professional,
an
officer
to
get
in
on
the
way.
Let's
say
they
dispatch
the
call
and
on
the
way
the
ccat
officer
hears.
Oh,
I
know
that
house.
AP
I've
been
there
before
or
let's
say
we
get
this
all
the
time
where
our
dispatchers
dispatch
something
and
it
kind
of
changes
it
evolves
at
any
point
in
time.
If
they
send
a
patrol
officer,
a
seek
out
officer
could
jump
it
and
say
patrol
officer:
don't
go
ccat's
going
to
go
instead
and
they
had
the
ability
to
do
that
and
cancel
the
officer
and
them
go
instead.
The
third
point
of
diversion
is
actually
when
they
get
there.
AP
AP
This
patrol
officer
could
back
off
and
go
hey.
Could
you
send
me
a
c-cat
unit
to
the
scene,
so
we
designed
the
system
with
three
different
points
of
where
you
could
divert
the
call
away
from
a
normal
patrol
officer
to
a
c-cad
officer,
and
that's
something,
I
think
is
very
very
key.
You
hear
a
lot
that
police
officers
can't
do
something
like
that.
Well,
police
officer
is
a
job,
it's
not
the
person.
AP
It's
who
you
hire
that
wears
the
uniform
yeah.
It's
not
a
police
officer
can't
do
it.
It's
did
you
hire
the
right
person
to
do
that
work
and
that's
something
that
bellevue
has
is
that
we
have
officers
that
want
to
do
that
work,
and
you
hear
a
lot
that
often
police
officers
can't
do
it.
I
don't
that's
quite
correct.
AP
We
hire
the
right
people
to
do
this
job
because
we
want
the
right
officer
in
bellevue
that
can
wear
all
those
different
hats
that
we
want
them
to
be
able
to
do
the
sro
job,
where
they're
communicating
with
kids
one
minute
but
being
able
to
be
the
protector.
If
someone
comes
in
there
to
harm
the
children-
and
I
think
that's
a
key
difference
in
this-
is
that
we
train
our
patrol
officers
and
they
got
used
to
getting
the
call
and
going
oh,
I
can
call.
AP
I
have
that
resource
available
and
that's
the
key
part
is
making
sure
the
entire
department
understands
that
by
having
a
ccat
unit
available.
Anybody
can
call
at
any
point
in
time,
because
that's
the
best
outcome
for
the
person
in
crisis
right
and
that's
a
culture
piece
that
you
have
to
build
into
a
police
department,
because
just
because
it
doesn't
work,
someplace
else
doesn't
mean.
AP
That
knows,
if
that
person
needs
the
mhp,
the
officer
can
back
off
or
if
they
need
the
officer,
the
mhp
can
back
off
so
that
you
have
that
process
where
they're
working
together,
because
many
times
what
the
911
call
is
is
not
what
we
do
when
we
get
there
and
that's
the
risk
factor
is
that
people
not
always
honest
to
9-1-1
or
they
that
they
don't
have
the
whole
story
and
when
we
get
there,
sometimes
it's
not
the
same
thing.
Yeah,
that's
great!
So
you
have
the
council.
R
R
A
All
right,
thank
you.
I'm
I'm
going
to
curtail
my
own
comments,
but
thank
you
very
very
much.
I
will
just
say
that
you
know
we
asked
at
a
time
of
a
tumultuous
time
for
you
to
do
a
review
and
your
department
was
so
happy
to
do
that
and
knew
that
it
was
something
that
was
important
to
the
council
and
to
your
community
and
the
attitude
that
you
did
it
with,
and
the
just
spending
an
entire
year
with
a
con
outside
consultant
to
do
this
kind
of
review.
A
It's
been
very
impressive
and
I
feel
like
a
lot
of
good
things
have
come
out
of
it.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
good
work
and
for
your
response
to
that
request,
and
my
only
question
is:
will
we
be
doing
another
review
at
some
point?
Is
this
going
to
become
like
a
regular
thing?
I
know
the
dashboard
kind
of
keeps
track
of
what's
going
on,
but
what
are
your
thoughts
on
that
too?.
AN
Well,
the
the
short
answer
is
we're
always
looking
at
ways
to
improve
right
internally
in
terms
of
our
protocols,
processes
and
procedures,
how
we
provide
service.
So
it's
ongoing
trying
to
make
our
police
department
better
to
serve
the
community,
so
we're
reviewing
every
day.
U
A
S
Ahead,
that
is
at
the
I
appreciate
the
packet,
the
one
for
the
federal
level
on
the
budget
reconciliation
we
heard
last
week
at
the
national
league
of
cities
that,
although
it
has
some
good
information
in
it,
what's
missing,
is
workforce
and
child
care,
which
we
have,
as
a
council
said,
is
an
important
piece
of
funding.
That's
that
we
would
like
to
ensure
is
there.
So
I
would
like
to
recommend
that
we
work
with
our
lobbyists
to
encourage
our
senators
to
include
some
level
of
workforce
child
care
support
in
that
bill.
A
Okay,
thank
you
all
right.
We
have
one
more
thing
we're
going
to
do.
Mr
miyaki,
would
you
like
to
introduce.
U
This
is
your
last
item
for
this
meetings
agenda
and
that
is
the
notice
of
intent
to
petition
for
annexation.
U
Just
by
my
background,
the
council
received
a
notice
of
intent
to
petition
for
annexation,
initiated
by
property
owners
in
bellevue's
potential
annexation
area
adjacent
to
the
cougar
mountain
neighborhood.
As
some
of
the
council
may
recall,
the
last
time
we
did
an
annexation
was
back
in
the
city
back
in
2012..
U
Staff
are
here
tonight
to
provide
a
presentation,
after
which
the
council
would
then
vote
to
accept,
modify
or
reject
the
notice
of
intent.
So
joining
us
this
evening
is
emile
king
assistant
director,
as
well
as
kate,
nessy
senior
planner,
both
from
the
community
development
department
and
that'll
hand
it
over
to
emil.
AR
Thank
you
for
the
introduction
city
manager,
miyaki
and
good
evening,
mayor
deputy
mayor
and
members
of
council
tonight,
staff
are
here
to
seek
council
action
on
what's
called
a
petition
for
annexation
and
as
the
deputy
or
excuse
me
as
the
city
manager
described.
This
is
in
unincorporated
king
county
in
the
cougar
mountain
area.
This
is
the
last
remaining
portion
of
potential
annexation
area
in
the
city.
AR
Our
last
batch
occurred
down
in
the
eastgate
area
in
2012,
where
we
had
significant
annexations.
So
we
will
be
spending
some
time
tonight.
Orienting
council
with
the
process
and
considerations
for
annexation
as
those
are
really
important
and
a
petition,
is
a
type
of
annexation
where
the
private
property
owners
gather
signatures
representing
at
least
10
percent
of
the
assessed
value
of
that
area
and
bring
it
into
the
city
for
consideration.
So
we
are
now
undertaking
that
process
to
get
council
action
go
to
the
next
slide.
Please
we
are
seeking
council
action
tonight
by
state
law.
AR
AR
The
options
that
the
council
has
are
to
accept
accept
with
geographic
modifications
as
kate
will
describe,
or
to
reject
the
petition
based
on
our
review
of
what
it
would
take
to
undertake
this
this
annexation.
At
this
time,
we
are
recommending
that
the
council
reject
the
petition,
and
this
is
due
largely
to
the
limited
staff
resources
we
have
to
undertake
the
necessary
work
on.
This
are.
A
AR
We're
just
giving
a
little
bit
of
background
on
this
we'll
get
into
the
details
in
a
minute,
yeah
yeah,
so
the
the
the
three
options
you
have
again
are
to
accept,
accept
with
modifications
or
reject,
and
our
recommendation
is
to
reject.
AR
So
with
that.
Let's
I
just
want
to
note
that
we
we
have
reached
out
to
the
petitioners.
We
had
one
of
them
comment
during
oral
communications.
AR
AS
Sure
I'll
give
you
some
background
on
the
annexation
process
and
go
over
the
boundary
that
could
be
considered
and
the
policy
and
fiscal
impacts
and
I'll
wrap
it
up
with
the
pros
and
cons
and
next
steps.
AS
So
in
2012
the
city
pursued
a
direct
petition
method
of
annexation,
and
this
is
also
the
direct
petition
method.
The
difference
is
that
the
petitioners
this
is
being
initiated
by
the
property
owners,
whereas
the
2012
annexation
was
initiated
by
a
council
and
council
directed
staff
to
pursue
the
annexation
right
now.
We're
at
that
first
circle
there
to
accept,
modify
or
reject
the
notice.
If
a
council
decides
to
accept
or
modify
the
notice
it
would,
there
would
be
180
days
to
collect
signatures
to
for
the
annexation.
AS
AS
AS
If
council
decides
to
move
forward
with
the
annexation,
except
the
notice
of
intent
to
petition
for
annexation
staff
in
that
180
days,
when
the
property
owners
are
collecting
the
60
of
the
signatures
of
the
property
owners,
staff
would
be
conducting
fiscal
analysis
that
would
include
transportation
and
utilities,
impacts
and
impacts
to
police,
fire
and
development
services,
so
that
council
will
be
informed
on
the
impacts.
AS
Should
you
decide
to
annex
these
properties,
the
analysis
would
be
led
by
the
community
development
department
and
significant
analytical
contributions
would
be
from
fam
utilities,
transportation
and
the
city
attorney's
office,
as
well
as
other
departments
across
the
city.
This
would
really
be
a
one
city
effort.
AS
AS
So
the
petitioners
have
indicated
that
they
are
interested
in
developing
the
area,
and
that
is
the
primary
reason
that
they
are
pursuing
annexation.
And
so,
if
this
area
is
not
annexed,
they
will
be
pursuing.
AS
AS
For
as
for
the
next
steps,
if
council
decides
to
reject
the
notice
of
intent
for
annexation,
the
annexation
process
ends,
there
is
no
appeal
to
council's
decision
this
evening
and
council
has
the
option
of
revisiting
at
a
future
date,
and
the
property
owners
have
the
option
of
submitting
a
notice
again
and
there's
no
time
frame.
They
could
resubmit
it
tomorrow,
but
I
would
guess
they
won't.
AS
If
council
decides
to
ultimately
annex
this
area,
then
that
would
also
impact
the
several
other
departments
to
transfer
jurisdictional
authority,
and
this
process
would
take
at
least
a
year
to
complete
so
again
the
act
staff
is
seeking
action
tonight
to
either
accept,
modify
or
reject
the
notice
of
intent
to
petition
for
annexation.
A
G
Yes,
oh
thank
you.
Have
you
ever
had
rejected
any
ionization
petition
in
the
past?
How
much
how
often
two
you
know
what
is
the
pro
and
con?
We
don't
really
know
until
we
made
the
analysis.
G
AS
The
most
recent
annexations
have
been
initiated
by
the
city,
and
so
the
city
council
has
directed
staff
to
pursue
the
annexation,
and
so
the
notice
of
intent
to
petition
for
annexation
was
at
council's
direction,
and
so
of
course,
they
accepted
that
notice.
In
recent
history
we
haven't
had
the
annexation
that
has
been
initiated
by
the
the
property
owners.
A
Well,
we're
not,
I
guess
it
would
be
dependent
on
the
reason,
and
so
the
staff
recommendation
is
not
based
on
merit
or
lack
of
merit.
It's
based
on
the
fact
that
the
timing
of
it
would
disrupt
all
the
other
work
that
they're
doing
so
they're
asking
the
property
owners
to
come
back
with
the
request
later.
A
Q
Well,
it's
been
my
goal
to
see
all
of
the
potential
annexation
areas
eventually
annexed,
so
that
we
will
be
municipal,
incorporation
of
bellevue
cornered,
a
corner
without
islands
of
unincorporated
on
our
borders,
and
so
it
it
I'm
a
little
bit
dispirited
that
we
this
came
in
when
we
can't
really
take
it
up,
because
I
would
love
to
say.
Q
Yes,
I
would
love
to
say
yes
and
we
need
to
include
the
other
four
parcels
so
because,
when
we
annex
this
area,
which
I
expect
that
we
will,
we
want
to
do
all
28
and
just
be
done
with
any
paas
on
our
borders
and
it's
unfortunate
because
we
have
so
much
going
on
right
now
in
planning
and
all
the
departments,
including
the
major
comp
plan,
update
the
wilberton
update
with
the
bell
red
look
forwards
coming
as
well.
Q
So
this
is
not
the
ideal
time
we
also
at
least
my
expectation
is
that
when
we
do
annex
these
areas,
it
will
be
a
negative
fiscal
impact
because
they're
all
residential
and
we
knew
when
we
annexed
eastgate,
that
that
was
a
negative
of
over
a
million
dollars
a
year.
It
doesn't
mean
it's
not
still.
The
right
thing
to
do,
but
we
know
it's
going
to
have
an
impact
and
we're
going
into
a
very
tough
budget
year,
so
that
also
makes
this
not
the
ideal
time.
Q
For
my
perspective,
that
said-
and
this
is
going
to
be
a
question
I
would
like
to
see-
there-
be
water
and
sewer,
availability
and
extensions
to
these
properties,
particularly
if
someone's
wanting
to
develop,
and
they
will
run
the
sewer
mains
out
to
that
area.
I
think
that
would
be
a
really
good
thing,
so
I
know
there's
the
option
of
a
pre-annexation
agreement.
Can
you
just
give
me
a
very
brief
thumbnail
of
what
we
would
expect
to
have
happen
with
these
properties
with
regard
to
sewer
and
water?
AS
Okay,
do
you
want
me
to
thank
you?
Go
ahead,
water
is
available,
there
are
six
houses
out
there
that
have
water
from
the
city
and,
as
I
mentioned,
the
water
reservoirs
are
basically
central
to
that
potential
annexation
area.
The
the
sewer
extension
would
be
at
the
cost
of
the
property.
The
developer
as
the
the
properties
develop
and.
AS
AR
Q
H
Although
councilmember
robertson
took
a
lot
of
them
already,
she
does
sometimes
but
just
two
quick
questions
so
and
agree.
Well,
hardly
with
councilman
robertson's
comments,
so
the
pre-pre-annexation
agreements.
How
long
would
that
take
it's
an
administrative
procedure,
thereby
just
just
curious
is:
are
we
talking
a
couple
of
months
a
year?
H
How
long
does
that
take
and
then
we're
talking
about
the
actual
annexation
and
certainly
they're
more
than
willing
to
come,
apply
again
at
a
future
date,
as
you
said,
but
can
you
give
the
property
owners
a
sense
of
when
the
ideal
time
would
be?
I
haven't
heard
that
yet
some
type
of
time
frame
that
they
can
shoot
for
to
reapply.
AR
Yeah
I'll
go
ahead
and
take
the
the
part
about
the
timing,
and
then
you
can
answer
about
the
timing
for
the
free
annexation
agreement.
You
know
we
we
looked
hard
at
this
frankly
about.
Could
we
take
it
on
now,
and
we
just
came
to
the
conclusion
that
a
lot
of
our
staff
were
working
on
the
the
periodic
plan
update
where
the
same
staff
would
be
need
to
be
helping
out
with
this.
So
we
have,
you
know,
kind
of
looked
at
2024
or
later
as
the
time
to
do
it.
AR
AS
S
Councilman
resign
yeah.
Thank
you.
I
really
appreciate
the
comments,
because
I
agree
that
as
much
as
we
would
like
to
do
this
now
and-
and
I
actually
do
want
to
note
that
in
your
next
steps
in
the
memo
you
talk
about
2024
as
a
more
ideal
time.
So
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
you
were
very
thoughtful
about
the
the
staffing
and-
and
I
guess
for
me,
as
I
think
about
this.
This
would
give
the
property
owners
time
to
actually
sign
on
to
the
petition.
S
For
because
when
I
read
it,
it
appeared
that
there
was
only
one
property
owner
that
signed
on
and
bracket
as
an
unassigned
cons
resource
to
help
them.
This
would
give
them
time
to
actually
get
others
to
sign
on
because
it
appears
only
one
property
owner
signed
the
petition,
even
though
they
made
the
ten
percent
threshold.
AS
R
You
yeah,
but
they'd
have
to
have
the
sewer.
AS
AS
R
A
Great
thanks
all
right
any
more
comments
or
questions
all
those
in
favor.
G
G
I
support
that,
but
you
do
you
did
answer
that
we
can
do
it
later.
Okay,
how
long
will
taking
this,
and
that
is
any
certainty
to
those
things
or
just
or
baby
when
you
say
2024
when
you
see
pre
pre-annexation
agreement,
I
hope
that
when
you
talk
to
the
property
owners,
there's
certainty
so
then
I
just
saying
well,
maybe
buy
you
know
when
whoever
people
can
do
work.
If
there's
no
certainty,
are
we
given
providing
certainty.
AR
You
know
this
has
been
part
of
our
potential
annexation
area
for
an
you
know,
number
of
decades
now.
This
is
a
good
marker
that
there
is
interest
by
at
least
a
bit
over
10
percent
of
the
av
of
pursuing
annexation
and
saying
tonight
that
this
is
now
on
our
radar
and
we're
happy
to
reconsider
it
in
2024,
either
through
a
petition
or
city
initiated,
I
think,
is
a
good
message
to
the
the
property
owners
down
there.
