A
First
of
2020
welcome
back
everybody.
Thank
you
for
being
here.
Last
night
was
one
heck
of
a
night
in
Bellevue,
but
I'd
like
to
step
back
from
the
moments
and
talk
about
our
mutual
grief
and
outrage.
In
the
circumstances
surrounding
the
death
of
mr.
George
played
in
Minneapolis
on
May
25th,
the
City
of
Bellevue
stands
strongly
with
other
cities
and
peaceful
demonstrators
across
the
nation
in
denouncing
the
events
and
the
actions
that
led
to
mr.
Floyd's
deaths.
We
hear
you
and
sharing
your
frustration
and
sadness.
A
Anybody
should
be
able
to
look
to
the
police
for
protection
without
question
of
whether
they
will
be
treated
fairly.
Our
hearts
go
out
to
the
loved
ones
of
mr.
Floyd
and
any
person
lost
or
impacted
by
senseless
actions,
fear
or
hate
you've.
Seen
too
many
incidents
like
this
to
think
that
injustice
or
discrimination
cannot
happen
in
pity.
We
must
all
be
willing
to
make
changes
and
speak
out
when
necessary,
because
this
can
happen
anywhere.
We
must
all
stand
together
in
making
a
commitment
to
driving
out
inequity,
supporting
equality
and
preventing
injustice.
A
Our
city
and
our
police
force
have
received
exceptional
training
and
are
acutely
aware
of
social
dynamics,
integrity
and
equality
in
their
actions.
Our
Police
Chief
Steve,
my
lab,
has
released
his
own
statement.
That's
available,
sharing
his
dismay
at
the
treatment
and
death
of
mr.
Floyd
from
a
law
enforcement
officers
perspective.
A
The
city
of
Bellevue
will
continue
to
serve
our
community
with
excellent
public
service
to
all
and
to
promote
a
safe
welcoming
environment
characterized
by
mutual
trust
and
respect
between
our
public
servants
and
community
members.
Bellevue
stands
strong
together.
We
commit
to
working
hard
every
day
to
maintain
and
continue
building
that
trust
and
respect,
especially
during
these
challenging
time
and
with
that
city
clerk.
Are
you
ready
for
the
roll
call.
A
All
right,
thank
you.
Okay,
if
we're
the
approval
of
the
agenda,
there
are
a
couple
of
procedural
items
we
need
to
address,
because
in-person
meetings
are
prohibited
by
the
governor's
emergency
order.
Concerning
the
open
public
meetings
act,
the
council
will
be
holding
its
meetings
remotely
for
an
unknown
period
of
time
and
as
a
result,
there
are
several
provisions
in
the
council's
procedural
rules.
A
A
A
A
A
D
Yes,
so,
whereas
the
City
of
Bellevue
is
a
welcome
community,
that
firmly
believes
in
the
City
Council's
vision
statement.
Bellevue
welcomes
the
world.
Our
diversity
is
our
strength.
We
embrace
the
future
while
respecting
our
past
and
whereas
it
is
recognized
that
the
contributions
of
lesbian,
gay,
bisexual,
transgender,
queer
questioning,
LGBTQ
people,
both
in
our
community
and
nationally,
have
been
critical
to
advancing
equity
and
whereas,
while
further
progress
is
needed
towards
more
equitable
treatment
of
LGBTQ
community
members,
it
is
important
to
recognize
and
celebrate
the
substantial
gains
that
have
been
achieved.
A
Further,
we
are
proud
and
supportive
the
meaningful,
long-lasting
impacts
the
LGBTQ
community
has
made,
including
community
support
activities
and
mechanisms
employed
during
Kovach
19
and
the
many
contributions
they've
made
to
Bellevue's,
rich
and
diverse
history
and
culture,
and
with
an
emphasis
on
creating
an
inclusive
attitude
for
youth
I'd
like
to
honor
the
Bellevue
high
school
pride
Club,
many
of
whom
are
watching
from
home
tonight.
Thank
you
very
much.
Council
members
on
the
next
proclamation
is
our
essential.
Rutgers
proclamation
and
I've
asked
councilmember
Barksdale
to
read
that
for
us.
Thank.
E
You
mayor,
whereas
tens
of
millions
of
workers
in
the
u.s.
are
employed
and
essential
critical
infrastructure
jobs
that
must
continue
through
the
kovat
19
pandemic.
To
maintain
the
services
and
functions.
Americans
depend
on
daily,
as
well
as
the
country's
ability
to
operate
resilient
Lee
during
the
pandemic
response
and
whereas
roughly
a
quarter
to
30%
of
Seattle
metro
area.
E
Physical
distancing
or
closure
orders
or
directives
is
crucial
to
community
resilience
and
continuity
of
essential
functions
and
whereas
essential
workers
are
a
key
piece
of
the
continued
functioning
of
our
communities
during
this
time
of
increased
physical
disk,
distancing
and
limited
availability
of
services,
risking
their
own
safety
and
health
in
the
execution
of
their
duties
to
serve
the
public
every
day
and
whereas
current
health
orders
requiring
continued
use
of
physical,
distancing
and
personal
protective
measures
means
these.
Workers
in
Washington
will
need
to
continue
performing
their
essential
work
under
trying
circumstances.
A
Therefore,
I'll
in
Robinson,
mayor
in
the
City
of
Bellevue
Washington
and
on
behalf
of
the
city
council,
do
hereby
proclaim
on
June
1st
2020
our
continued
support
and
recognition
for
the
critical
contributions
of
essential
workers
in
Bellevue
and
encourage
all
residents
to
recognize
and
express
appreciation
for
essential
workers,
as
they
continue
to
carry
out
their
necessary
professions
and
service
to
all
of
us
during
the
coded
19
pandemics,
Thank
You,
councilmember
Barksdale,
and
we
have
one
more
problematic
proclamation
for
our
2020.
Graduating
seniors
and
I've
asked
councilmember
Robertson
to
read
that
please
Thank.
F
You
mayor
before
I
begin
I
just
wanted
to
thank
the
city
for
putting
together
the
proclamation.
I
I
do
have
a
high
school
senior
living
in
my
home.
My
daughter-
and
this
has
been
a
very
difficult
experience
for
a
lot
of
the
kids,
although
I
think
they're
making
lemonade
out
of
lemons
because
many
seniors,
including
mine,
were
out
cleaning
up
Bellevue
today,
so
they're
still
doing
wonderful
things
for
our
community,
even
as
they
have
lost
their
all
this
pomp
and
circumstance
of
graduation.
F
A
G
A
B
Yes,
mayor
sorry,
technical
difficulties
there
there
is
one
written
communication
to
read
into
the
record.
The
communication
is
from
Michael
Thorpe
and
it
reads
as
follows:
this
communication
is
with
respect
to
the
council's
upcoming
meeting
of
June
1
2020
in
view
of
the
protest
activities
and
fairly
widespread
looting,
which
occurred
yesterday
in
Bellevue,
I
am
requesting
that
the
following
be
added
to
the
meeting
agenda.
I
believe
that
the
citizens
of
Bellevue
deserve
to
know
exactly
what
happened
yesterday.
B
It
appears
from
what
was
presented
by
the
media
that,
although
the
city
was
aware
in
advance
of
planned
looting
that
looting
went
virtually
uncontrolled
for
hours.
I
am
requesting
that
the
City
Council
immediately
authorize
an
independent
investigation
into
exactly
what
occurred
yesterday
from
beginning
to
end.
It
is
essential
that
the
investigation
be
independent,
that
it
begin
immediately,
so
that
valuable
evidence
is
not
lost,
such
as
media,
film,
local
CCTV,
eyewitness
statements
and
internal
city
communications.
Please
address
this
at
tonight's
meeting.
Thank
you.
B
A
H
H
H
So
congratulations
to
you
on
doing
the
right
thing
and
in
managing
a
very,
very
difficult
situation.
That
was,
as
you
pointed
out
at
the
beginning,
and
should
be
focused
on
a
national
need
to
address
racial
justice.
The
three
things
I
have
come
to
talk
to
you
about
today.
The
first
two
are
covin
related
wanted
to
share
with
you
what
we've
been
doing
and
will
be
doing
at
the
county
council
with
regard
to
funding
to
respond
to
the
crisis.
H
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
reopening
of
activities
which
you
may
have
followed,
with
the
governor's
new
order.
Last
Friday
and
then
I
was
asked
specifically
to
bring
one
hoppy
happy
topic.
So
I
will
give
a
very
brief
update
on
what's
going
on
with
the
East
trail
corridor
through
Bellevue
in
the
east
side.
H
On
the
topic
of
our
budgets,
like
everywhere,
the
kovat
crisis
has
hit
both
sides
of
our
spreadsheet
in
King
County,
on
the
expense
side,
we've
taken
on
many
tens
of
millions
of
dollars
in
additional
expenses,
because
we
are
the
public
health
provider
for
the
county
and
have
had
to
pay
for
additional
work
on
initially
contact
tracing
and
the
actual
health
response.
That
will
be
a
growing
part
of
our
work
again,
as
we
start
to
come
out.
H
The
stay
home
stay
healthy
order,
but
we
have
also
invested
quite
a
bit
of
money
into
the
what
we
were
calling
the
IQR
sites,
the
isolation,
quarantine,
recovery
sites
that
expanded
to
include
density,
intensification
of
shelter
sites.
I
know
you
all
are
aware
of
the
the
work
that
King
County
and
the
Red
Lion
and
Sophia
Way
have
done
in
partnership
to
relocate
their
shelter
and
also
the
Eastgate
tent
set
up.
That
is
still
not
open
and
may
not
open,
but
is
there
in
case
of
need
for
quarantine
or
a
Recovery
Center?
H
In
addition,
we
have
put
some
funding
into
trying
to
support
business
parts
of
our
business
community
that
are
in
the
in
areas
that
are
really
in
struggling.
We
put
some
money
into
culture,
small
business
and
unincorporated
in
incorporated
King
County's
tourism
and
my
favorite
that
I
advocated
for
was.
We
managed
to
find
some
funding
through
our
lodging
tax
for
homeless
youth.
That
is
a
one
of
the
featured
purposes
that
lodging
tax
can
be
used
for,
and
so
I
was
able
to
successfully
advocate.
H
For
a
million
dollars
to
be
set
aside
for
puck
for
supporting
homeless
youth
providers,
including
friends
of
youth
on
the
east
side,
we
are
just
about
to
take
up
our
next
budget.
Supplemental
we've
done
two
over
in
this
year.
This
will
be
our
third
and
this
supplemental
will
focus
on
the
spending
of
cares,
Act
money
that
we
received
for
at
King,
County
from
the
federal
government.
H
We
received
two
hundred
and
sixty
million
dollars
and
we're
being
told
by
our
Budget
Office
that
a
about
50
to
60
percent
of
that
will
be
needed
to
continue
to
support
our
ongoing
public
health
response
to
Coe
bid.
But
that
means
that
forty
to
fifty
percent
of
it
can
be
used
to
support
community
organizations
and
needs,
and
we
started
by
adopting
some
principles.
So
we
have
decided
that
we
want
to
as
a
matter
of
public
policy
prioritize.
H
First,
obviously,
we
have
to
put
money
into
our
public
health
response
and
then,
after
that,
focus
on
survival,
meaning
keeping
a
food
over
a
roof
overhead
and
food
on
the
table
and
then
beyond
that,
putting
some
support
in
to
economic
recovery
activities
and
mental
and
behavioral
health
and
related
safety
programs
like
domestic
violence
and
other
types
of
programs
that
are
especially
needed
in
these
times
and
beyond
that.
We
have
also
set
up
some
principles
for
how
we
will
approach
the
allocation
of
the
funds.
H
So,
in
addition
to
the
priorities
which
is
public
health
first
and
survival,
then
other
supports.
We
are
going
to
be
looking
to
ensure
uninterrupted
delivery
of
our
own
core
services,
which
are
like
the
cities'
I
imagine
threatened
by
revenue
loss,
which
is
a
significant
aside,
cares.
Act
funding
cannot
be
used
to
helpful.
If
you
can't
use
this
money
for
revenue
loss,
we
have
committed
to
exercise
responsible
spending
and
accountability
measures,
especially
in
light
of
the
fact
that
we're
doing
so
much
of
this
under
emergency
exemptions
from
regular
procurement
processes.
H
We
want
to
create
immediate
solutions
that
are
sufficiently
thoughtful
to
ensure
lasting
impacts
and
focus
on
equity
and
social
justice
to
ensure
that
help
is
provided
where
it
is
needed.
Most.
We
also
committed
to
prioritize
as
narrow
of
a
range
of
services
as
possible
to
make
sure
that
federal
relief
dollars
have
the
most
deep
and
effective
recovery
impact
we
committed
to
avoid
duplication
of
services
or
having
several
agencies
providing
the
same
service
and,
where
possible,
utilizing
the
existing
program
that
can
quickly
get
really
funding
out
into
the
community.
H
So
we've
transmitted
those
this
set
of
principles
and
priorities
to
the
County
Executive.
Next,
they
will
put
together
a
proposal
which
will
be
transmitted
back
to
the
council.
Then
we
will
take
it
up
for
debate
and
vote
I'll
keep
you
all
in
the
loop
as
we
do
that,
because
one
of
the
ways
that
we
have
been
able
to
push
funding
out
into
the
community
quickly
effectively-
and
you
know
with
with
that
accountability-
is
by
using
existing
trusted
organizations.
H
So
if
there
is
a
way
that
cities
can
play
a
role
in
providing
some
of
these
services
or
funding
the
services,
you
all
know
the
local
community
and
the
local
provider
is
better
than
the
county
does,
and
so
that's
one
thing
we
might
be
able
to
partner
on
with
you
also,
as
we
did
with
some
of
the
small
business
funding,
pushing
it
out
through
chambers
of
commerce
and
other
trusted
partners,
we'll
be
looking
for
ways
to
do
that,
rather
than
creating
procedural
and
programmatic
wheels
ourself.
So
that's
thing.
H
So
King
County,
as
you
know,
is
in
phase
1,
which
is
where
we
are
today
and
we
do
not
meet
the
requirements
yet
for
phase
2.
However,
the
new,
the
new
safe
start,
Washington
order
contains
a
path
for
counties
to
go
to
a
modified
phase
1
by
meeting
lesser
standards
having
more
safeguards.
So
we
believe
that
King
County
does
meet
the
requirements
for
phase
four,
the
modified
phase
one
and
we'll
be
putting
together
an
application.
This
week
we
were
hoping
it
would
be
today,
but
things
being
as
they
are.
H
It
will
be
sometime
early
this
week
and
we
will
apply
to
the
state
to
be
allowed
to
loosen
up
restrictions
and
they
are
committed
to
responding
quickly
so
far
in
the
counties
that
have
moved
from
one
phase
to
another:
they've
seen
responses
from
the
state
and
about
24
to
no
more
than
72
hours.
So
we
hope
within
just
a
few
days
to
be
able
to
have
some
good
news
to
announce
and
when
we,
when
we
are
able
to
proceed,
you
can
see,
there's
a
document
that
I'd
be
happy
to
show
you.
But
it's
also
online.
H
The
governor's
announcement
about
this
reopening
will
allow
for
phase
two
level
manufacturing
operations.
Some
limited
real
estate
operations
more
in
store
retail
operations,
personal
services
I
know
we're
all
looking
forward
to
getting
haircuts
professional
services,
photography,
in-home
domestic
services,
pet
grooming
and
a
limited
amount
of
restaurant
activity.
H
Once
a
county
does
progressed
into
another
phase,
then
they
are,
then
you
you
stay
there
for
at
least
three
weeks
to
ensure
that
the
virus
is
not
making
a
comeback,
and,
assuming
that
it's
not,
we
can
then
continue
to
progress
into
Phase,
two
three
and
four.
So
that
is
the
path
that
we're
on
and
I
look
forward
to
it.
Finally,
I
because
I
was
asked
to
bring
something
happy
I
wanted
to
share
with
you
all
that
we
continue
to
progress.
H
So
I
thought
that
was
good
news.
We
were
all
very
happy
and,
at
the
same
time,
we're
conducting
a
study
that
would
allow
us
to
build
fiber
in
the
corridor
when,
when
the
final
construction
is
happening,
we
could
put
fiber
in
at
the
same
time,
save
some
money
and
potentially
provide
a
great
public
amenity
and
possibly
some
revenue.
So
that's
my
that's.
My
report
from
King
County
I'm
happy
to
take
any
questions
about
Emir.
A
F
You
councilmember
about
Gucci,
really
appreciate
you
coming
down
tonight
to
share
what
the
county
is
doing
very
much
eager
to
see
the
cares
money
distributed
in
ways
that
will
really
help
the
community
of
bellevue
and
also
to
see
us
move
into
phase
two
as
quickly
as
possible,
but
other
than
that.
Just
thanks
for
coming
and
stay
safe.
I
Hi
thanks
custom
duty,
Claudia
welcome.
Thank
you.
I
really
am
glad
to
hear
about
this
5g
consideration.
It
may
sound
like
to
be
not
a
big
deal.
I
think
it's
very
important
for
the
future,
especially
you
know
what
the
future
norm
is
going
to
be
at
the
Novus
619,
and
so
this
is
a
good
way
to
keep
things
in
mind
and
when
we
have
opportunity-
let's
put
it
in,
we
may
not
realize
how
well
the
value
will
be,
but
you
would
provide
to
prove
to
be
very,
very
important.
Thank
you
for
that
kind
of
consideration.
I
D
Yes,
I
also,
thank
you
so
much
for
you
know
really
thoughtfully
considering
the
budget
and
the
resource
needs.
We
appreciate
partnering
with
King
County,
and
those
areas
that
you
mentioned
are
the
same
areas
of
focus
that
we've
talked
about
in
the
City
of
Bellevue
related
to
the
needs
and
the
gaps.
You
know
the
COBIT
has
only
put
more
pressure
on
systems
that
were
already
under
under
resourced
and
struggling
to
make
sure
that
the
needs
in
our
community
were
met.
D
So
I
appreciate
that
I
also
I
know
you
didn't
mention
this,
but
I
do
want
to
say
that
I
very
much
appreciate
providing
updates
on
the
coab
in
response.
The
dashboard
the
king
county
created,
so
that
we
can
understand
the
data
and,
what's
going
on,
is
very
much
appreciated
and
I
know
that
that
takes
time
to
build
at
a
time
when
you're
trying
to
address
the
in
immediate
needs
of
kovat
response
and
the
public
health.
So
I
very
much
appreciate
that.
D
My
only
question
is
when
you
talk
about
the
Karis
funding
and
looking
at
the
260
million.
What's
the
timing
for
when
you
think
that
the
budget
discussion
will
be
finished
and
are
you
anticipating
some
of
the
funds
actually
going
to
cities
or
is
it
more
of
the
actually
more
grants
going
to
agencies
that
may
be
also
supporting
that
Bellevue
has
already
published
or
provided
grants
for.
H
Yeah
Thank
You
council
members
on
and
thank
you
for
the
kind
words
about
the
great
work
of
Public
Health,
a
they
process,
the
data
they
create
the
guidance
and
they
respond
personally
to
do
contact
tracing
and
to
fight
the
virus
directly.
So
they're
doing
a
really
heavy
lift
for
us
and
at
your
appreciation,
I
will
carry
back
on
the
question
about
the
Karis
funding,
so
we
expect
it
to
be
transmitted
from
the
executive
any
day
now
and
then
we
are
meeting
every
other
week
and
council
and
in
off
weeks
as
a
committee
of
the
whole.
H
So
my
hope
is
that
we
will
be
able
to
pass
the
budget
within
a
few
weeks
at
our
fastest.
We've
done
it
in
less
than
two
weeks
with
these
other
supplementals.
This
one
is
going
to
be
big
and
possibly
complicated,
so
it
might
take
a
little
bit
more
than
that,
but
it
will
be.
It
is
targeted
to
be
passed
in
June,
and
then
we
will
have
a
sense
of
how
the
money
flows
at
that
point,
but
I
will
just
speaking
for
myself
and
my
priorities.
I
think
that
we
have
an
opportunity
here
to
consider.
H
If
we
can
meet
our
principles
and
our
priorities,
and
also
maybe
direct
money
directly
to
cities
for
to
support
either
direct
service
that
you
provide
or
for
you
to
then
further
grant
to
organizations
in
the
community
through
existing
programs,
like
you
might
increase
here,
humans,
mrs.
program,
for
example
or,
however,
the
city
does
it
I,
just
think
that
might
be
efficient
and
it
could
potentially
help
cities
with
the
revenue
problem
by
enabling
you
to
do
things
you
would
otherwise
not
be
able
to
do,
even
though
it
can't
directly
they're.
H
Not
it's
not
by
federal
law
cares.
Money
is
not
allowed
to
directly
backfill
for
lost
revenue
due
to
co-head,
but
it
is
possible
to
use
it
to
do
things
that
you
would
ordinarily
do
that
also
affect.
You
know
that,
and
also
address
coded,
so
there's
a
possibility
for
a
win-win
there.
It's
definitely
part
of
the
discussion
we
need
to
have
at
Council
before
we
vote
well,.
A
J
She
did
it
automatically
sorry,
so
what
I
started
to
say
what
I
was
saying
was,
and
it
briefly
is
that
I
appreciate
council
members
on
raising
the
questions
and
having
a
little
discussion
about
the
Cobie
funding
and
and
how
that
all
ties
in,
because
that
is
very
important
and-
and
we
will
work
very
closely
with
the
county
on
that.
I
also
appreciate
the
you
know,
review
of
Israel,
and
it's
been
a
great
journey
from
the
very
beginning
on
that
and
I.
Think.
The
one
thing
that
is
very
important
to
Bellevue
is
that
it
has.
J
It's
going
to
be
a
great
asset
for
all
of
us,
I'm
very
excited
about
where
it's
progressing
and
I
did
want
to
say
on
the
piece
on
the
getting
into
Phase.
Two
and
I
appreciate
the
way
you
approach
this,
that
we
have
to
be
very
careful
and
also
very
aggressive
at
figuring
out
how
to
move
forward
and
in
a
way
that
really
addresses
the
issues
that
gets
the
economy
back
in
in
that
way,
but
also
making
sure
that
we
don't
end
up
with
the
worst
problem
which
will
really
really
damage
the
economy.
J
H
C
You
so
much
yeah.
We
certainly
don't
want
that
to
be
a
round
trip
nor
to
come
back
during
cold
and
flu
season.
This
that's
winter,
which
I'm
particularly
concerned
about,
but
thanks
for
that
day
on
the
kovat
19
on
the
east,
rail,
that's
particularly
great
news.
I
just
had
one
question:
we
got
on
the
carrier's
act,
funding
there
a
little
bit
following
up
on
councilmembers
on
there,
and
you
had
mentioned
that
top
priority
being
the
public
health
and
the
survival
focus
there
and
domestic
violence
etc,
which
is
spot
on,
but
the
economic
development
piece.
C
How
do
you
see
that
potentially
coming
up?
Is
that
something
that
County
might
want
to
do
directly
itself?
And
if
so,
what
might
be
some
of
the
opportunities
there
to
help
businesses
that
are
struggling
right
now
and
barely
hanging
on,
and
you
know
can't
wait
to
reopen,
and
you
know
if
they
don't
reopen
soon,
they
might
not
be
able
to
reopen
permanently
and
if
they
are
able
to
reopen
what
might
the
county
be
able
to
do?
C
H
That's
a
great
question
and
I'll
say
we
dipped
our
toe
into
this
area
in
the
last.
Our
second
supplemental
budget,
where
we
put
I,
want
to
say
3
million
4
million
into
small
business
support
within
the
incorporated
areas
and
another
3
or
4
million
into
the
unincorporated
areas,
and
so
I
am
going
to
be
looking
to
how
that
distribution
works,
and
if
we
have,
if
we
find
a
path
that
works,
we
should
keep
using
it.
The
example
I
will
give
is
not
economic
development,
but
it
is.
H
We
know
that
there
are
organizations
like
the
United
Way
that
have
done
rental
assistance.
I,
don't
want
to
see
King
County
develop
our
own
staffing
and
banking,
and
you
know
RFP
process.
All
of
that,
you
know
get
rental
assistance
into
people's
hands
when
I
can
just
give
it
to
United
Way,
or
somebody
like
that
and
have.
H
It's
faster,
it's
an
endless
overhead
right,
so
I
will
be
looking
for
those
opportunities
on
our
list
of
priorities
that
we
adopted
into
the
motion
that
we
voted
on.
We
actually
listed
economic
support
to
King
County
cities
as
part
of
our
economic
recovery
strategy,
so
we
will
be
looking
to
see
if
there
is
a
way
to
do
it
with
the
cities,
because
you
all
do
economic
development
I
know
very
well
how
about?
H
We
also
talked
about
specific
programs
like
funding.
Maybe
provision
of
digital
broadband
or
Wi-Fi
access
to
communities
or
individuals
where
there's
limited
access
a
little
late
for
this
school
year,
but
we
sure
did
learn
how
vital
it
was
to
have
to
have
students
all
universally
have
access
to
the
Internet
I
mean
they
couldn't
actually
be
in
school
this
year.
If
they
weren't
on
the
Internet,
we
talked
about
job
training
programs.
We
do
actually
have
some
workforce
economic
development
that
we
do
at
King
County,
but
we
don't
fund
the
programs.
H
We
have
partners
to
do
that
through
her.
So
primarily
an
answer
to
your
question.
I
think
we're
primarily
going
to
be
looking
for
partnerships
and
hopefully
not
to
inventing
oil,
because
to
me
that
that
slows
and
limits
the
amount
of
money
that
we
can
push
out
and
I
want
to
go
as
quickly
as
possible
and
get
as
much
of
it
into
the
hands
of
folks
in
need
as
possible.
Okay,.
A
Chair
Balducci
I,
just
as
somebody
connected
to
the
small
business
community
I,
would
really
hope
that,
as
these
guidelines
come
down
for
stage
1.5
and
onward,
that
it's
really
clear
to
small
businesses,
how
they
can
proceed
and
that
there's
a
direct
line
of
communication
between
our
chambers
and
the
county
and
making
sure
that
everybody
does
what
they
need
to
do
to
open
as
soon
as
they
possibly
can.
I.
H
Take
that
very
much
into
consideration
as
I
go
back
to
the
county.
You
know
in
personally
speaking
and
because
that's
been
it's
been
a
challenge
all
along
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
that
at
one
point
I
heard
dr.
Duchin,
his
our
local
health
officer,
say
and
I
think
he
was
right.
None
of
us
have
been
through
this
before
I
mean
none
of
us
have
no
matter
how
much
you
may
have
trained
or
planned
for
it.
H
The
reality
has
been
a
series
of
adaptations,
one
after
the
other
that
we've
had
to
make
together
and
so
at
times
we're
going
to
call
upon
our
business
partners
and
others
to
do
the
best
they
can
to
take
the
guidance
and
do
the
best
they
can
with
it.
But
we
should
provide
the
best
guidance
we
can
to
help
them.
Do
that
so
I
hear
that
request,
I,
take
it
on
board
and
I
will
bring
it
back
to
the
folks
who
are
working
on
this
at
King
County
and
at
the
state.
That's
the
other
thing.
H
A
H
Just
to
put
it
in
plain
terms,
what
I
would
hope
is
that
the
enforcement
end
of
public
health
would
be
looking
to
educate
first.
So
if
we
come
across
somebody
who's
using
more
than
25%
of
their
square
footage
to
do
business
and
they're
supposed
to
be
using
only
25%
that
before
putting
it
a
stop,
you
know
close
the
doors
order
or
a
citation
of
some
kind.
We
would
work
with
that
business
to
say
here's
what
you
should
be
doing.
Please
do
that
and
then
you
know
give
them
a
warning.
First,
it's
all
very
valid.
K
You,
mayor
and
councilmembers
I
have
two
items
under
the
managers
report
tonight.
The
first
one
is
with
respect
to
the
the
neighborhood
area
program
included
in
your
council.
Packets
was
a
management
brief
on
this
particular
item
and
tonight
staff
will
provide
the
council
with
a
status
update
of
our
great
neighborhood
planning
effort
joining
us
this
evening
is
Emil
King,
our
assistant
director
of
community
development,
as
well
as
the
number
of
other
staff
members
that
I
will
allow
him
to
introduce,
but
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
Neil
Neil.
K
L
You
good
evening,
mayor
Robinson,
deputy
mayor
neuen,
House
members
of
council
and
city
manager
Miyake
tonight
we
have
assembled
core
staff
who
will
highlight
the
process
and
creative
and
inclusive
outreach
and
engagement
techniques
we'll
be
using
for
the
great
neighborhoods
relaunch.
The
great
neighborhoods
program
is
how
we've
branded
the
city's
efforts
to
carry
out
the
council
priority
for
neighborhood
area
planning
to
occur
throughout
bellevue.
L
We've
retold
the
program
through
a
continuous
improvement
lens
number
one
by
learning
from
the
initial
roll
out
in
making
smart
adjustments
and
number
two
implementing
measures
to
adapt
to
kovat
19
realities,
I
and
others
in
the
department
are
very
excited
about
rien
gauging
with
the
northwest
bellevue
in
northeast
bellevue
neighborhoods
later
this
month
with
our
soft
launch,
they
will
ultimately
be
the
first
two
neighborhoods
to
have
their
plans
completed
tonight.
You're
going
to
hear
from
two
key
members
of
the
project:
team,
Nicholas
mattes,
the
project
manager
and
Brook
broad.
The
community
engagement
lead
next
slide.
L
Please,
no
Direction
is
needed
tonight
from
Council
we're
using
this
opportunity
to
provide
information
to
council
and
members
of
the
community
at
this
key
milestone
next
slide.
Please
tonight
short
presentation
is
focused
on
how
we're
adapting
our
work
to
covet
19
realities
staff
will
explain
how
we're
adapting
our
work
based
on
number
one.
The
broader
context
and
importance
of
neighborhood
area
planning
number
two:
the
content
that
we're
going
to
be
focusing
on
and
number
three
the
process,
adjustments
that
we're
going
to
be
using.
L
M
Thank
You
Emil
mayor
Robinson,
councilmembers
thanks
thanks
for
hosting
us
in
the
virtual
meeting
tonight.
We
are
acutely
aware
of
Kovach
19
and
its
impacts
on
our
communities
and,
as
Emil
pointed
out,
one
of
our
primary
concerns
was
making
sure
that
we
were
doing
something
so
community-based.
With
deference
to
the
impacts
that
Kovach
19's
had
on
on
our
communities.
M
Jane
Jacobs
said
cities
have
the
capability
of
providing
something
for
everybody
only
because
and
only
when
they
are
created
by
everybody
and
I
just
thought.
Given
the
events
of
this
past
weekend
and
the
sombre
approach
and
reflection
that
we
need
to
take
from
when
we
developed
our
presentation
to
you
last
Friday,
everybody
is
part
of
this
community
and
the
things
that
we're
all
doing
as
one
city
and
our
communities
is
making
us
confident
and
responsible
that
we'll
be
able
to
deliver
great
neighborhoods
to
the
communities
that
we
think
are
ready
to
hear
it.
M
So
if
we
could
go
on
to
the
next
there
that
side,
thank
you
for
I
mean
I'm,
sorry,
the
back.
There
we
go,
and
that
starts
with
the
context.
We
were
rightly
concerned
that,
when
we
went
out
with
a
neighborhood
planning
effort
that
people
would
say
really
now,
but
what
we
heard
and
what
people
told
us,
knowing
that
it's
both
a
challenge
and
opportunity
to
relaunch
great
neighborhoods
and
knowing
that
we
require
innovation
and
creativity.
M
What
we
heard
is
people
have
been
feeling
isolated
and
powerless
about
their
futures,
and
thinking
about
where
they
can
live
can
offer
deliberate
opportunities
to
rebuild
a
community,
so
we're
actually
hearing
from
the
people
that
live
in
these
neighborhoods
about
this
is
a
this
is
a
good
time
to
do
this.
Folks
of
for
better
or
worse,
rediscovering
their
neighborhoods
and
they're
ready
to
talk
about
them
in
a
market
and
guided
fashion
and
the
way
we're
gonna
do.
That
is
with
our
content.
M
We
have
created
a
template
and
it's
a
road
map,
so
think
of
a
road
map
that
can
take
you
places
and
can
do
things
for
you
that
you
would
otherwise
not
know
how
to
do.
Our
template
is
a
road
map
that
is
framed
by
a
seven-part
guidance
that
essentially
each
member
of
these
communities
were
inviting
to
help
build
with
us,
and
this
guidance
is
framed.
That's
already
built
into
the
neighborhood's
element
of
the
comprehensive
plan
which
you
all
adopted
in
the
major
plan
of
data
in
2015.
M
So
we
had
had
this
blueprint
ready
and
now
we
have
a
road
map
that
is
going
to
be
something
that
is
a
shared
opportunity
to
go
forward
into
neighborhoods
that
stand
up
as
part
of
our
communities.
We
will
be
addressing
a
host
of
other
issues,
including
resilience,
safety,
walking,
biking
and
other
emerging
issues,
but
the
template
and
in
seven
parts
requires
us
to
do
some
pretty
innovative
process
and
in
regards
to
that
I'm
going
to
hand
it
over
to
Brooke
Broad.
Who
is
our
committee?
Engagement,
Lee
and
she's?
N
Thank
You
Nicholas
and
Thank
You,
mayor
Robinson
and
the
council
for
this
opportunity
to
give
you
this
update.
As
Nicholas
said,
we
are
seeking
to
engage
in
a
collaborative
process
with
the
community
to
build
out
this
template,
and
all
engagement
activities
will
tie
directly
to
a
specific
section
of
the
template,
which
we
believe
will
provide
really
important.
Clarity
to
residents
about
what
they
are
participating
in
coab
in
19
has
definitely
required
us
to
be
flexible,
and
so
we
are
moving
all
of
our
community
engagement
events
online.
N
We
are
also
going
to
rely
on
some
of
our
more
analog
tools
like
the
phone
and
actual
mail
to
reach
people
and
let
them
know
about
opportunities
to
participate.
We
have
already
begun
to
have
virtual
conversations
with
resident
to
start
to
build
relationships
and
better
understand
how
they
want
to
participate.
These
conversations
have
been
really
fruitful
and
they
are
really
reinforcing
the
idea
that
people
want
to
be
talking
about
their
neighborhoods
and
how
to
ensure
that
they
are
strong
moving
forward.
N
In
the
meantime,
we're
going
to
continue
to
have
online
events,
opportunities
to
participate
again
online
and
have
one-on-one
chats
with
residents
throughout
the
summer,
and
we
certainly
invite
residents
to
reach
out
to
us
via
engaging
Bellevue
comm.
If
they
want
have
a
question
they
want
to
ask
if
they
want
to
connect
with
anybody
on
the
team
and
then
finally,
I
think
one
of
the
things
we're
very
excited
about
is
to
ensure
broad
and
representative
participation
that
recognizes
how
diverse
our
neighborhoods
are.
N
We
are
planning
on
bringing
aboard
temporary
help,
who
will
be
there
to
support
culturally
competent
outreach
and
shermaine
if
we
can
move
to
the
next
slide,
we'll
just
kind
of
give
you
a
high-level
overview
of
our
timeline.
So,
as
you
see
we're
getting
ready
to
do
a
soft
launch,
these
will
be
virtual
informational
events
on
June,
16th
and
17th,
and
that
really
kicks
off
our
first
phase,
which
is
capacity
building.
N
During
this
time,
we
will
be
engaging
with
residents
informing
them
about
the
opportunity
to
participate,
starting
to
understand
what
they
care
about
and
that
will
take
us
through
the
summer.
We
will
really
engage
in
the
plan
development
from
September
this
year
through
April
of
next
year
2021
and
then
our
final
phase
is
planned
adoption
when
a
draft
plan
will
go
to
the
Planning
Commission
and
then
eventually
to
Council
through
adoption.
N
We
wanted
to
make
sure
there
was
enough
time
to
engage
in
really
authentic
and
collaborative
engagement
with
the
community
and
also
importantly,
this
is
really
structured
to
follow
the
comprehensive
planning
amendment
process
and
allow
us
to
have
something
approved
by
the
end
of
next
year.
And
that
brings
us
to
the
close
of
our
presentation.
M
Thank
You
Brooke
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
at
the
benefit
of
mayor
Robins
and
the
council
members.
The
third
member
of
our
team
is
Elizabeth
direct
who
has
just
joined
the
city
she'll,
be
the
project
manager
for
the
Northwest,
Bellevue,
neighborhood
and
I
will
be
doing
the
project
management
for
the
Northeast
they'll
work
northeast,
Bellevue
neighborhood,
while
Brooke
keeps
us
both
in
line.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
that.
That
does
conclude
our
presentation.
Okay,.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
It's
just
amazing
to
have
a
little
business
as
usual
and
amidst
all
that
we're
dealing
with
in
Bellevue.
That's
very
reassuring,
so
I
welcome
this
presentation
tonight
and
we're
gonna
have
an
opportunity
for
each
council
member
to
ask
questions
or
comment
I'll
be
calling
in
this
order.
Councilmember
Barksdale,
councilmember,
Stokes,
Jean,
Lee,
Robertson,
deputy
mayor
Newhouse
and
me
go
ahead.
Councilmember
Barksdale.
A
E
E
Also,
the
focus
on
neighborhood
helping
neighborhoods
identify
their
collective
identity,
really
love
that
so
question
for
you
in
terms
of
how
this
could
feed
into
sort
of
the
annual
survey
as
well.
So
as
you're
engaging
you're
going
to
identify
priorities
and
like
attributes
that
are
very
important
to
the
neighborhoods
and
just
curious
about
ways
that
we
could
feed
those
into
the
annual
survey
to
continue
to
follow
up
on
those
knowing
that
those
are
important
to
the
neighborhoods
and
throughout
the
community.
So
that's
one
should
I
ask
just
ask
just
only
like
two
or
three.
E
Okay
and
then
to
what
extent,
so
we
have
neighborhood
associations
and
we
have
neighborhood
areas.
Can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
how
like
how
the
work
that's
happening
through
the
neighborhood
area?
Planning
process
is
going
to
like
work
with
that
I.
Don't
know
what
I'm
not
trying
to
lead
in
anywhere,
but
just
trying
to
figure
out
how
we
reconcile
those.
M
M
M
I
can
see
that
that
makes
a
whole
lot
of
sense
to
take
that
data
and
transform
it
into
something
that
can
help
us
feed
into
the
annual
survey
process.
We
know
that
our
department,
for
example,
has
a
metric
regarding
that
I
see
that
as
something
that
we
can
be
anticipatory
about,
so
that
we
can
feed
it
into
the
annual
survey
process.
You're.
On
your
second
question
council
member
works
Dale
in
regards
to
the
using
the
neighborhood
associations
and
homeowners
associations.
M
So
we
are
seeing
them
as
active
participants
within
the
process,
as
well
as
making
sure
that
we
align
with
other
staff
now
not
only
in
our
neighborhood
services
but
across
the
city
in
in
other
places
where,
where
staff
has
programs
and
services
that
deliver
on
the
neighborhood
model,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
that
is
an
active.
An
intentional
part
of
the
work.
E
Great,
thank
you.
I'll
only
make
one
last
comment
and
I'm
good
one
thing
I
think
I
would
it
would
be
interesting.
You
mentioned
profiles,
I
think
it'd
be
interested
in
two
segments
figure
out
the
way
to
segment
people
in
our
community
throughout
the
neighborhood,
so
that
we
can
then
look
at
and
see
which
segments
of
our
community
are.
We
maybe
not
addressing
to
the
extent
that
we'd
like
to
on
an
ongoing
basis.
Thank
you.
We'll.
J
J
So
pleased
to
get
something
done
in
a
year
and
a
half
and
I
like
that,
let's
try
to
keep
on
that
because
then
you
get
bogged
down
and
the
other
thing
is:
what
are
we
gonna
do
what
I
learned
experiences
through
this?
Is
there
going
to
be
a
review
this
way
before
we
go
into
the
next
fake
to
the
next
group.
J
L
I
can
go
ahead
and
address
the
the
second
comment
from
councilmember.
Stokes
will
well
again
apply
a
continuous
improvement
lens
on
to
this
rollout
for
northeast
and
northwest
Bellevue,
so
we'll
definitely
be
documenting.
Lessons
learned
and
the
the
next
two
neighborhoods
per
previous
council
direction
were
the
crossroads
and
Newport
neighborhoods
mm-hmm.
J
Okay,
no
great-
and
this
would
be
great-
this
is
the
first
time
you've
done
it
this
way.
So
it's
a
great
learning
experience
as
well
and
I,
think
I
think
we've
become
much
more
nimble
and
doing
these
things
so
I'm
looking
forward
to
this
as
it
goes
through
and
I'm
sure
everybody's
glad
we
finally
finally
finally
launched
it.
So
thank
you
very
much
great
presentation
and
I
really
like
the
program.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
D
On
yeah
I'm
also
so
excited
I
love
the
tagline
build
with
us
because
I
think
about
how
do
we
co-create
a
shared
roadmap
so
I?
Just
that
really
resonates
with
me
about
the
heart
of
the
community,
a
couple
of
comments
and
then
I
do
have
a
couple
questions
so
I'm
just
gonna
ask
them
all,
and
then,
whichever
fits
here
versus
just
getting
back
to
me
when
I
think
about,
then
the
building
relationships,
I'm
wondering
how
we're
gonna
go
about
doing
that.
D
Is
it
through
some
trusted
messengers
or
B
Dan,
so
that
we're
making
sure
that
those
that
may
be
hard
to
reach,
especially
during
this
time
at
Co
vid,
that
we
find
a
way
for
them
to
have
a
voice.
I'm
curious
to
understand.
Since
we
already
started
in
northeast
and
northwest
Bellevue,
are
we
going
to
be
using
that
information
as
the
springboard
to
the
continual
information
or
since
enough
time
has
passed?
D
Are
we
starting
fresh
and
then,
as
we
think,
about
coalbed
and
what
maybe
some
new
normals
or
things
that
we
leave
behind
and
things
that
we
that
we
lean
into
I'm
curious
about
how
a
CodeRed
might
play
a
part
in
this
and
then
lastly,
I
had
an
opportunity
to
listen
it
into
a
National
League
of
Cities
resilience
for
cities
and
I'm,
just
wondering
how
we
make
sure
that
we
are
building
for
the
future.
That
is
resilience
and
built
into
by
design.
D
M
You
councilmembers
on
I'll
take
the
resilience
question
very
quickly,
then
ask
Brooke
to
respond
to
your
other
questions
around
our
relationship
building
and
how
we're
looking
at
our
communities,
especially
the
underserved
communities.
We
did
actually
have
a
person
out
in
Northeast
Bellevue
who
talks
about
resilience
and
is
actually
actively
working
in
his
community
to
develop
a
resilience
framework,
of
course,
before
kovat.
M
N
N
So
we
would
seek
to
hire
folks
from
the
community
who
have
that
connection
and
ties
and
who
are
trusted
messengers
within
the
community
to
ensure
that
we
are
really
running
a
process
that
is
welcoming
and
inclusive
and
can
ensure
that
we
are
reaching
people
who
might
not
normally
be
reached
or
who
traditionally
do
not
participate
in
this.
Also,
as
part
of
that
work,
we
have
really
increase
the
amount
of
our
existing
budget
that
we
are
devoting
to
translation
and
interpretation
to
ensure
that
again,
our
multilingual
residents
are
able
to
participate
and.
N
Thank
you
for
reminding
me
in
this.
Yes,
so
we
have
all
of
the
previous
comments
and
we
are,
we
will
be
factoring.
Those
in
I
think
some
of
the
most
useful
stuff
that
we
are
carrying
over
into
this
relaunch
are
a
number
of
community
values
that
were
identified
through
previous
outreach,
so
that
will
help
ground
us
in
our
initial
outreach
and
yes,
all
of
the
comments,
we
still
have
the
ideas
and
the
solutions,
and
that
will
be
reference
material
for
existing
outreach
efforts.
Thank.
I
Okay,
okay,
thanks!
Oh
great
presentation,
I
am
really
impressed
with
what
you
have
been
doing.
You
know
I
mean
doing
this
:
19
lots
of
folks
are
finding
difficult
to
do
their
work,
but
obviously
you
know
you
are
making
a
good
use
of
your
time
and
you
already
adjusted
to
the
new
norm.
I
guess
the
future.
You
know
all
these
things
are
talking
about.
You
know
makes
lots
of
sense
and
you
actually,
you
know
getting
getting
going
and
I
like.
Like
your
word,
the
word
you
say
many
voices,
it's
easy
to
say.
I
We
have
one
vision,
one
future,
but
you
know
it's
more
complex
it
complicated
when
you
can
do
that
with
many
voices,
but
I
read
appreciate
your
recognizing
it.
The
key
is:
how
do
you
make
that
happen?
You
know
I,
have
all
old
many
voices
and
to
still
come
up
with
what
vision
of
a
future
so
I
compliment
you
you
for
having
that
focus
and
I
like
what
you're
saying,
but
I
passed
their
mission.
You
know
they
it's
important.
I
Okay,
we
have
a
poll
forgetting
information
and
that's
what
you
say
you
could
be
doing
that's
great
with
as
a
community
and
the
word
the
capacity
I
think
that's
really
represents
what
we're
talking
about
yeah
under
represented
under
deserve
communities
that
have
not
being
out
there
and
being
in
representatives,
because
they
do
not
have
the
capacity
the
people
that
can
make
the
connections
to
build
a
relationship.
You
know
with
what
the
city
wants
to
do,
what
the
mainstream,
what
everybody
else
wants
to
do,
they
always
become
connected
I.
I
Think
that's
the
key,
so
I
think
the
Alpha
you
are
making
I
hope
it's
going
to
really
work
out,
but
I
really
compliment
your
identifying
those
identifying
future
leaders
and
using
the
people
you're
talking
about
competent,
but
not
just
culturally
competent,
but
community
connected
individuals
and
who
shared
the
values
with
the
community
that
we
are
talking
about
and
the
community
at
large.
So
that
is
the
connection
and
so
there's
that
communication
and
so
that
we
can
build
relationships.
So
I
think
that's
really
the
of
how
to
build
many
voices.
I
So
like
know
the
things
you
were
laying
out.
Another
thing
you
mentioned:
innovative
outreach
capacity
building
and
through
virtual
engagement.
These
are
great
things
that
we
are
preparing
for
the
future
through
this
lighting,
so
I'm
really
happy
again
a
good
job.
You
have
not
been
sitting
still
waiting
for
the
future
to
figure
out
what
happens
but
you're.
Actually,
you
know
working
toward
building
those
spots,
that's
necessary
to
meet
the
challenges
we
can
face
when
we
are
facing
the
new
norm
after
covert
meeting
and
during
culminating
and
in
the
future.
I
What's
the
gap
that
we
need
to
recognize
and
we
need
to
a
bit.
We
need
to
build
up
and
we
need
to
narrow
and
maybe
eliminate,
ideally
so
that
we
have
the
connection
we
can
make
them
play
on
the
equal
footing.
It
equal
glance,
so
I
appreciate
that
and
I
think
we're
I'm
looking
forward
to
what
you
can
be
doing
and
I
hope
if
we
can,
because
we
have
positive
community
council
members.
So,
just
let
us
know
we'll
be
there
we'll
be
part
of
your
team.
Thank
you.
Thank.
F
Hide
Nicholas
and
welcome
to
the
word.
Tobruk
I
have
some
questions
I'm
a
little
bit
confused
about
exactly
what
the
goal
is
of
the
neighborhood
area.
Plans
number
one
I'm
super
happy
to
see
this
relaunch.
It's
been
a
while,
since
we
revisited
it
and
I,
don't
know
if
I
ever
had
clarity
of
what
was
in
and
what
we
out
so
right.
Now
these
are
going
to
be
replacing
sub
area
plans
which
do
provide
guidance
on
how
an
area
develops.
They
have
some
pretty
many
policies
in
them.
I.
M
Thank
You,
councilmember,
Robertson,
I'll,
start
and
I'll
ask
Camille
to
join
in.
It
is
the
the
blueprint
for
this
process.
We
are
clearly
retaining
what
we
used
to
call
sub
area
plans.
The
blueprint
for
this
process
is
in
the
neighborhoods
element
of
the
comprehensive
plan
itself.
It
actually
specifies
how
we're
going
to
accomplish
this
adaptive
process,
but
the
elements
that
in
the
relaunch
the
elements
that
we're
keeping
we're
going
to
keep
the
policy
section.
There
is
a
clear
policy
section.
M
But
it's
also
going
to
be
able
to
have
other
neighborhoods
share
this
common
understanding
of
how
we're
addressing
what
we
still
would
be
calling
sub
area
planning.
We
will.
We
will
not
be
opening
up
the
annual
amendment
process
to
land
use,
changes
and
land
use
designations
with,
with
na
P,
with
the
great
neighborhoods
work
that
continues
to
remain
the
council's
prerogative
and
authority
through
the
annual
plan.
Amendment
process,
as
well
as
the
major
update
this.
M
These
are
we're
moving
these
back
to
both
more
traditional
focus
and
an
innovative
focus
on
being
able
to
go
forward,
because
now
we're
actually
going
to
have
all
of
our
communities
writing
these
plans
and
engaging
in.
But
the
meat
of
the
plan
still
remains
that
that
policy,
section
and
you'll
be
able
to
see
that
guided
by
the
neighborhoods
element,
which
I
believe
was
council
mana
content
back
in
2015
when
we
set
this
whole
process
up
to
get
going
great.
F
Okay
and
Mara,
if
you
want
to
cut
me
off
now
and
come
back
around
otherwise
I
have
a
couple
more
questions.
I
know
over
three
minutes,
but
if
you
count
Nicholas's
question,
thank
you
through.
Okay,
thank
you.
So,
secondly,
I'd
like
to
see
more
information
about
the
scope,
because
I
know
that
when
we
first
started
talking
about
this,
we
talked
about
that.
F
There
would
be
certain
things
that
all
neighborhoods
need
to
be
asked
about,
for
example,
tree
policies
if
they
want
to
adopt
tree
policies
and
I'm,
just
gonna,
I,
guess
I'll
just
say:
I'd
like
to
have
a
follow
up
on
exactly
the
issues
that
are
gonna
be
raised.
I,
guess
and
we'll
start
with
these
first
two
neighborhoods
that
we
anticipate
asking
all
neighborhoods
but
I'd
also
like
to
see.
For
example,
they
have
specific
requests
for
capital
projects
connecting
trails.
F
You
know
many
pocket
parks.
Things
like
that,
because
I'd
like
to
see
these
plans
feed
into
the
way
I
see
these
as
they
would
feed
into
multiple
additional
work
items.
One
would
be.
We
would
consider
the
the
neighborhood
plans
when
we
look
at
our
budget
if
there's
requests
for
trails,
etc.
We
look
at
these
plans
as
we
look
at
comp
plan
amendments
or
our
next
great
major
comp
plan
update.
We
might
look
at
these
plans
for
adopting
new
land
use
code,
for
example
tree
retention
policies.
If
the
neighborhood
wants
that
you
know.
F
So,
it's
just
like
the
council
vision
where
we
have
a
vision
of
how
we
want
to
see
things.
We
also
have
a
list
of
priorities,
so
I'd
love
to
have
these,
be
you
know,
be
the
sub
area
plan,
but
also
have
the
components
like
we've
done
for
the
city,
about
the
council
behalf,
so
that
we
can
get
that
information
from
the
neighborhood's
I
think
it
would
be
a
lot
more
informative.
F
Now
we're
not
going
to
say
they
promise
we're
gonna
do
all
that
work,
but
I
think
that
that
should
be
part
of
the
discussion
and
then
finally,
I
I
know
that
there's
been
concerned
by
people
that
these
neighborhood
playings
process
be
done
by
the
people
who
live
in
the
neighborhood
who
own
property
in
the
neighborhood
who
are
business
in
the
neighborhood.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
do
the
outreach
there
so
that
it's
not
too
much
influenced
by
people
who
are
outside
those
boundaries.
M
We
will
be
able
to
the
reason
for
this
systemic
council
briefings
to
you
over
the
course
of
great
neighborhoods
is
to
tell
you
what
we're
finding,
not
only
the
issues
that
have
been
raised,
but
how
they
start
to
translate
from
what
communities
see
is
important
into
these
policies
and
actions
that
were
going
to
use
I
would
would
assure
you
that
we're
doing
exactly
what
your
concern
is
about
the
scope
and
and
how
that
translates
into
action
and
a
blueprint
and
action.
We
also
look.
M
We
look
very
closely
at
the
at
the
demographics,
because
it's
my
continuing
intent
that
these
plans
are
for
the
people
who
live
there
who
live
there.
Now,
however,
they
chose
to
live
there,
whether
they
own
or
whether
they
rent
the
people
who
have
businesses
there,
whether
those
businesses
are
in
commercial
places
or
elsewhere,
and
the
and
the
people
that
are
going
to
live
in
those
communities.
M
For
example,
we
know
that
a
significant
component
of
the
the
demographic
profile
in
northeast
and
northwest
Bellevue
is
home
ownership,
and
we
are
clearly
distinguishing
these
different
elements
of
our
demographic
profiles
to
make
sure
that
we
are
reaching
out
to
everybody-
and
that's
certainly
a
significant
component
of
that.
Oh.
N
M
L
F
C
You
mayor
yeah,
male
Nikolas
Brooke.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
great
presentation
and
great
questions
and
calm
me
comments
about
my
colleagues,
yeah
I,
just
thrilled
to
get
this
going
and
as
councilmember
Robertson
just
said.
Yeah
neighborhoods
are
ecstatic
that
we're
gonna
get
this
going
again
and
want
to
be
a
part
of
this
process
and
want
to
build
with
us.
C
So
this
is
just
great
to
get
this
going
and
I'm
so
glad
to
hear
as
well
that
we're
looking
at
the
old-school
techniques
here
during
coab
in
19
of
mail
and
phone
calls
etc,
as
well
as
the
innovative
ways
of
doing
the
virtual
in
the
zoom,
etc
and
I'm
hearing
a
lot
of
the
things.
I
think
that
are
all
important
to
us
as
a
council
in
terms
of
the
of
the
outreach
and
culturally
competent
outreach
is
so
important
for
us.
C
A
The
only
thing
I
have
to
add
is
that
you
talked
about
flex
it
being
flexible
in
this
and
I
think
the
word
needs
to
be
resilient,
because
you
don't
want
to
just
return
to
where
you
were.
You
want
to
actually
adapt
to
a
new,
normal
and
so
I
know.
That's
what
you're,
thinking
and
I
think
that
language
needs
to
reflect.
A
A
Okay,
next
we
we
started
this
with
chief,
my
let
this
kind
of
morphed
from
being
a
crime
trend
update
due
to
coded
19-2,
then
some
statements
and
reactions
regarding
the
death
of
mr.
Floyd
and
now
is
an
overview
of
last
night's
protest.
We're
probably
going
to
get
a
little
bit
of
all
of
that.
But
mr.
Miyagi
did
you
want
to
introduce
chief
Roylott
sure.
K
Thank
You
mayor
and
councilmembers,
and,
as
you
mentioned
in
light
of
last
night's
protest
event
in
our
city,
we
have
decided
to
pivot
away
from
talking
in
detail
about
some
of
our
crime
trend
data
and
instead,
chief,
my
LED
was
going
to
provide.
It
is
going
to
provide
an
overview
of
the
event
itself
as
well
as
address
some
of
the
number
of
questions
that
have
been
raised
by
both
the
public
in
the
council,
as
well
as
some
concerns,
and
so
with
that
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
Steve.
K
O
O
Since
the
tragic
death
of
George
Floyd
at
the
hands
of
one
of
my
brethren,
we
have
seen
protests
riots,
looting,
violence,
attacks
on
police
attacks,
on
innocent
bystanders
from
coast
to
coast
north
to
south.
We
began
monitoring
this
immediately
after
we
saw
the
violence
in
Minneapolis.
Let
me
also
say
just
real
quick.
Almost
every
officer
I
know
condemns
what
happened
to
mr.
Floyd.
No
one.
No
one
has
even
attempted
to
try
and
justify
the
actions
of
officer
Chauvin.
We
reject
it.
O
O
So,
in
the
aftermath
of
Memorial
Day,
we
started
seeing
all
the
violence
in
Minneapolis
and
it
started
spreading
to
the
larger
cities.
We
anticipated
that
it
could
arrive
in
Seattle,
but
we
were
not
sure
if
it
would
have
arrived
in
Bellevue
or
not,
but
we
were
we
were
on
guard.
We
started
talking
about
it
and
making
some
preparations.
O
Seattle
has
a
curfew,
but
bellevue
doesn't
let's
go
to
Bellevue?
That
single
comment
started
a
conversation,
that's
starting
to
spread
over
the
next
several
hours.
As
soon
as
that
happened,
I
immediately
recalled
all
of
my
officers.
We
wanted
to
12-hour
shifts
and
started
preparing
for
the
worst
hoping
for
the
best,
but
parent
for
the
world's
worst,
when
we
started
getting
further
intelligence,
more
reliable
intelligence
that
they
were
naming
Bell,
Square
and
the
brave
earn
in
specific
stores.
O
The
day
before
this
happened
with
the
assistance
of
our
city,
managers
began
having
conversations
with
business
leaders
in
the
city
sharing
sharing
with
them
the
intelligence
intelligence
that
we
had
and
making
some
recommendation
to.
Prepare.
We
strategically
placed
officers
in
areas
that
we
thought
that
these
criminals
would
try
to
infiltrate.
O
Law-Abiding
citizens
who
are
whose
intent
was
to
lawfully
gather,
assemble
and
protest.
As
we
all
know-
and
it
is
our-
it
is
our
or
motto
here
in
who
we
are
diversity-
is
our
strength
and
Bellevue
welcomes
the
world
to
include
those
that
want
to
lift
their
voices
in
response
to
injustice,
and
the
city
has
a
long
history
of
providing
a
safe
space
for
people.
To
do
that
very
thing.
We
very
rarely
have
violent
incidents
in
this
city,
but
this
is
a
different
group.
This
isn't
a
group
that's
coming
over
to
protest.
O
This
was
not
a
group
that
had
any
concern
about
civil
rights
or
the
death
of
mr.
Floyd
or
anything
else.
This
was
an
organized
criminal
element
that
was
coming
over
here
for
one
reason,
and
one
reason
only
and
that
was
to
steal
and
to
cause
damage,
and
we
recognized
that,
but
we
also
had
a
balance
if
we
had
lawful
protesters
exercising
their
constitutional
right
and
these
individuals
embedding
themselves
with
these
law-abiding
citizens
and
members
of
the
public,
and
that
is
always
a
challenge
for
us.
Though,
as
I
said,
we
began
our
preparation
work.
O
O
We
told
them
that
if
we
had
a
need
and
they
had
availability,
would
they
be
able
to
respond
from
you,
each
Mutual
Aid,
and
they
said,
of
course,
so
the
following
day
yesterday,
things
were
pretty
quiet
in
Seattle
we
started
the
conversation
with
them
about.
If
we
did
have
this
arrived
in
Bellevue,
what
can
they
send
us
and
we
were
expecting
up
to
over
at
or
over
100
officers
to
include
their
bike
squad?
Who
is
that
bike
squad
in
Seattle
is
one
of
the
best
in
the
country,
and
we
work
very
very
closely
with
them.
O
We've
been
trained
by
them,
and
you
know
we
we
work
shoulder-to-shoulder,
often
and
so
right
before
our
criminal
element
here,
starting
to
arrive
at
about
three
o'clock.
Things
started
to
heat
up
in
Seattle
and
mayor
and
council
I.
Don't
think
that
was
by
accident.
I
think
it
was
by
design.
These
are
highly
trained,
capable
individuals
who
know
what
they're
doing
so
they
tied
up
the
Seattle
Resources,
which
prevented
us
from
getting
mutual
aid.
As
soon
as
things
started
heating
up
over
there.
We
start
we
started
to
see
the
arrival
of
these
different
cells.
O
They
committed
a
couple
traffic
violations.
My
motor
officers
were
right
on
top
of
them.
We
were
identified,
we
had
a
show
of
force,
in
my
hope,
was
that
they
were
gonna,
recognize
okay,
they're
prepared
and
move
on,
but
that
didn't
happen.
So
we
and
I
was
out
there
in
the
field
and
watching
as
things
were,
going
on,
I
saw
20
about
20
people
start
congregating
at
Bell,
Way
in
Northeast
state,
and
they
looked
like
they
were
legit
protesters.
They
had
signs
up,
then
another
20
arrived.
O
So
there
was
about
40,
then
I
started
seeing
them
look
like
what
appeared
to
be
communicating
through
some
sort
of
radio
system,
and
then
I
saw
phone
calls
being
made
mayor
within
moments.
It
was
like
a
tsunami
that
came
at
us
a
hundred
two
hundred
three
hundred
people
they
took
over
the
intersection.
We
started
to
deploy
our
resources
because
we
can't
come
out
right
out
of
the
gate
with
all
of
our
bikes
and
crowd,
control
and
everything,
because
it
chills
the
very
thing
that
the
legitimate
protesters
have
a
right
to
do.
O
We
make
our
presence
known
to
provide
them
a
safe
space
to
to
lift
their
voices
up,
but
quickly
within
I'm
telling
you
within
minutes
its
swelled.
They
took
over
the
intersection
in
like
a
like
a
wave
they
pivoted
and
then
started
heading
over
to
the
Hyatt.
We
started
sending
our
resources
over
there.
O
We
were
able
to
prevent
significant
damage
that
I'm
I
have
no
doubt
that
they
were
intent
on
committing
when
we
started
to
disperse
them.
They
went
into
multiple
cells
and
they
just
brand
and
spread
out
through
the
city
of
Bellevue.
Some
went
towards
the
braver
and
we
knew
that
was
going
to
be
a
target.
Some
went
towards
Bell
Square.
We
knew
that
was
going
to
be
a
target,
but
then
someone
all
throughout
the
downtown
area,
and
so
we
were
trying
to
maintain
contain,
but
containing
was
just
impossible.
O
Maintaining
sight
of
them
was
becoming
a
major
challenge
because
it
went
beyond
the
resources
that
we
had.
We
sounded
the
alarm
with
all
of
our
other
partner
agencies
and
they
were
in
route.
They
were
coming
to
our
aid,
but
it
was
taken
some
time
again.
I'm
convinced
that
Seattle
not
had
to
keep
their
resources
in
the
city
and
they
would
have
been
able
to
respond
within
minutes.
O
I
think
that
things
would
have
been
a
little
different,
but
it
it
was
what
it
was,
and
so
we
were
containing
and
dealing
with
this
and
waiting
for
the
mutual
aid
to
arrive
now
again.
I
don't
want
to
overemphasize
this,
but
I
do
want
to
emphasize
it.
They
use
tactics
to
defeat
in
overwhelm
or
resources
tactics
that
we've
seen
in
the
largest
of
cities,
NY
New
York,
the
NYPD
was
unable
to
manage
it.
These
are
40,000
cops
and
some
of
the
best
in
the
world.
O
O
Walked
away
from
last
night
and
again
I'm
sitting
there
and
I'm
questioning,
could
we
have
done
anything
different
I,
don't
like
to
lose?
None
of
our
officers
like
to
lose
especially
to
individuals
like
this
and
so
I
started.
Thinking
that
you
know
what
we
failed.
We
failed.
We
failed
the
businesses
in
Bellevue,
but
then
someone
said
you
know
what
you
mean.
You
need
to
redefine
what
victory
is
and
what
fail
here
is
we
didn't
have
any
loss
of
life.
We
didn't
have
any
serious
injuries
to
our
officers.
O
We
didn't
have
any
buildings
burnt
down
to
the
ground
and
that
kind
of
reframed
it
for
me,
and
so,
while
I
still
regret
that
any
of
our
businesses
lost
property,
some
will
not
recover.
They
were
already
suffering
because
of
Kobe
19,
and
this
was
just
another.
It
wasn't
even
a
punch
in
the
gut,
it
was
a
shot
in
the
head.
O
But
we
got
overwhelmed,
as
did
many
agencies
across
the
nation,
so
questions
came
up
and
I
asked
the
same.
Questions
about
looting,
I've
been
a
policeman
for
31
years,
35
years.
If
you
include
my
military
police
experience,
nobody
that
I've
talked
to
the
most
experienced
in
issues
like
this,
those
that
were
in
LA
during
the
riots.
Those
were
that
were
in
Seattle
during
WTO,
some
of
the
most
highly
trained
individuals
on
crowd-control
that
have
seen
it
all,
not
only
here
in
the
United
States,
but
across
the
across
the
world.
O
The
training
and
best
practices
in
situations
like
this,
where
we
have
riots,
we
have
widespread
looting
and
damage
and
all
the
things
that
we
witnessed
yesterday
best
practices.
If
we
want
to
take
one
person
into
custody,
you
need
a
minimum
of
three
officers
to
take
this
individual
into
custody.
Why?
The
reason?
Why
is
these
individuals
also
have
training
on
how
to
get
people
out
from
the
clutches
of
our
law
enforcement
professionals,
basically
to
D
arrest
the
individual
trying
to
arrest?
And
what
do
they
do?
O
They
surround
the
officers
they
get
on
top
of
the
officers
they
assault.
The
officers
we've
seen
this
in
Chicago
we've
witnessed
this
in
Seattle
when
my
officers
were
over
in
Seattle
in
during
the
first
event,
they
told
me
that
at
one
point
they
was
surrounded
by
thousands
of
people
and
in
any
given
time
had
they
decided
to
take
my
officers
out
my
officers.
O
They
couldn't
defend
themselves,
they
were
taking
bottles,
they
were
taking
bricks
to
the
head,
they
had
fireworks
being
fired
at
them,
and
so
that's
the
one
of
the
reasons
why
you
need
a
minimum
of
three
because
they
will
turn
an
attack
and
harm.
So
we
got
to
balance
it.
I
have
a
minimum
number
of
officers.
Even
when
art
our
mutual
aid
arrived,
we
were
still
outnumbered,
and
so
we
stepped
back
and
again,
we
go
back
to
our
priority
in
our
continuum,
in
our
priority
in
life
was
number
one
over
the
course
of
this
event.
O
O
Most
came
from
south
of
Bellevue,
some
in
Seattle,
the
13
year
old
was
arrested
for
burglary.
He
was
in
a
company
of
two
or
three
other
adults
and
the
61
year
old.
This
raises
another
issue:
I
got
questions
chief,
you
know
you
had
this
contact
with
the
with
the
group
there
at
Bellevue
way
and
northeast.
Fourth,
while
people
are
looting
behind
you,
you
know
I
can
address
that
later.
O
They
were
sitting
on
the
ground,
they
were
peaceful
and
they
had
a
right
to
be
there
later
on.
In
the
evening
a
vehicle
came
into
the
crowd
and
we're.
We
are
very,
very
fortunate
that
that
person
that
rammed
into
the
crowd,
didn't
injure
anybody
or
kill
anybody
we
needed
to
provide
the
presence
there,
so
they
could
do
what
they
were
doing
safely.
O
The
very
people
that
we
needed
to
provide
that
space
for
is
the
reason
why
those
officers
remain
where
they
were,
as
people
were
coming
out
of
Bell
Square
with
loads
of
clothes
and
other
merchandise.
Had
the
officers
not
been
there,
we
probably
would
have
witnessed
a
homicide
because
of
the
vehicle.
The
individual
was
arrested
that
was
operating
the
vehicle
and
that
was
our
61
year
old
individual
throughout
the
night,
when
we
did
make
arrests
and
make
contact
with
people
we
found.
Several
people
were
armed
with
firearms,
bats
bottles
rocks
and
pry
bars.
O
O
O
My
profession
Chiefs
across
the
country
we're
gonna
dissect
all
of
this
because
we
dealt
with
the
same
thing
and
we're
going
to
overcome
or
deficiencies,
we're
going
to
overcome
the
tactics
they
used
and
we're
going
to
be
better
and
we
will
always
adapt
to
whatever
new
thing
is
thrown
at
us.
So
where
are
we
at
today?
O
People
came
in
to
the
Bellevue
to
do
exactly
what
they
have
the
constitutional
right
to
do,
which
we
will
provide
that
safe
space.
They
were
loud,
they
were
passionate,
they
were
angry,
they
were
emotional
and
they
had
every
right
to
be
were
united
with
them
in
that
right
now,
in
Bellevue
there
are
no
active
protests
that
I'm
aware
of
we
have
resources
in
the
field
to
deal
with
the
things
that
we've
been
faced
with.
O
We
have
tactical
units,
buycks
crowd,
control
traffic
motor
units
in
in
booking
teams
in
on
the
streets
right
now,
we're
working
with
the
county
in
the
state,
our
regional
partners,
to
resupply
our
munitions.
If
something
happens
right
now,
we
have
enough,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
ample
supply
and
there's
other
things
that
I
don't
want
to
discuss
right
now,
because
is
public
forum
and
I
do
not
want
to
talk
about
tactics
and
strength
of
our
numbers
and
everything
else.
O
The
weapons
and
a
curfew.
Weapons
ban
in
curfew
has
been
affected
by
the
mayor,
working
with
the
city
attorney
in
the
mayor.
The
curfew
order
has
been
extended
and
additionally,
the
order
prohibits
anyone
in
certain
areas
from
possessing
weapons,
such
as
bats,
rocks
and
bottles
all
items
these
criminals
use
as
weapons.
O
First,
an
emergency
needs
to
exist
where
the
situation
has
grown
beyond
the
ability
for
the
local
government
to
manage
the
situation
and
then
there's
formal
requests
that
are
made
up
through
the
governor's
office.
The
governor's
office
has
to
approve
it,
and
then
it
takes
time
for
them
to
mobilize.
Fortunately,
for
us,
it
didn't
get
here
as
quickly
as
I
wanted
to,
but
they
got
here
as
quickly
as
they
could.
They
were
detailed
in
Seattle
and
then
they
were
diverted
even
when
there
was
still
activity
in
Seattle.
O
So
with
that
I'm
going
to
start
addressing
some
of
the
questions
that
I
received
from
the
members
of
public
and
members
of
council-
and
so
I
I've
kind
of
validated
some
of
them
into
one
or
you
know
several
different
groupings,
but
one
of
them
is
how
do
we
enforce
looting
and
I?
Think
I
addressed
that
already.
O
The
the
next
question
is:
what
is
the
looting
risk
to
their
neighborhood
across
the
city?
I
can't
predict
what
people
will
or
will
not
do.
I
can't
sit
here
and
say:
a
hundred
percent
they're
not
going
to
go
into
the
neighborhoods.
Well
I
can
tell
you
is
what
our
experience
has
been
from
New
York
to
Bellevue
down
in
Boston
into
Florida
and
elsewhere.
We're
not
seeing
these
cells
going
into
the
neighborhoods.
Their
intent
is
to
damage
the
infrastructure
of
government
and
they're
going
after
retail.
O
O
Another
question
was:
what
strategies
do
we
have
to
prevent
looting,
spillover
outside
the
downtown
corridor?
There's
there's
nothing
that
I
can
do
to
contain
them
before
they
get
here
to
you
know,
focus
them
and
channel
them
into
the
downtown
area.
We
have
to
respond
to
where
they're
going
in
and
I
don't
know
and
I've
taught
there
other
police
chiefs
and
asked
them
this
very
question.
How
do
we
do
this
and
nobody
has
any
idea
how
to
do
this?
O
So
if
people
came
into
our
community
and
they
decided
to
go
to
factorio
or
crossroads
instead
of
downtown,
you
know
we
can.
We
can
hopefully
gather
the
intelligence
before
they
get
here
and
take
preventive
measures,
but
there's
nothing
that
I
can
do
my
knowledge
to
say
and
channel
them
and
start
pushing
them
to
the
downtown
corridor,
so
I'll
leave
that
there
next
question
is:
how
do
we
ensure
we
are
employing
officers
to
ensure
we
do
not
witness
an
incident
in
Bellevue
like
we
witnessed
in
Minneapolis
North
Charleston
South
Carolina?
That
was
the
incident
involving
mr.
O
Walter
Scott
shot
in
the
back
as
he
ran
from
police
officer
in
2015
and
how
do
our
current
policies
and
practices
discouraged
officers
not
holding
other
officers
accountable
when
they
demonstrate
racial
bias?
I
believe
that
the
answer
to
the
first
part
of
the
question
is
it's
in
the
hiring
practices,
so
we
do
but
I
think
a
tremendous
job.
O
In
our
background
investigation,
what
we
hire,
we
hire
people
who
we
believe
reflect
our
core
values
and
our
core
values
are
the
these
respect,
respect
for
everyone,
integrity
in
everything
that
we
do,
because
we
know
the
public
trust
can
be
lost
at
the
at
the
drop
of
a
dime.
It's
something
that
we
earn
over
time,
but
can
be
lost
with
one
Mis
or
intent:
accountability
to
everyone,
accountability
to
the
community,
accountability
to
the
council,
accountability
to
each
other
in
service.
O
When
my
father
joined
the
New
York
Police
Department
in
1954
I
believe
it
was
at
the
top
of
the
training
academy
had
said
at
your
service
before
I
became
a
policeman.
He
told
me
always
remember
you
serve
everybody,
you're
a
servant
and
I've
taken
that
and
I
model
that
behavior
I
hope
and
we
hire
individuals
that
we
think
are
going
to
best
reflect
these
core
values.
They
go
through
the
Academy.
They
receive
tremendous
training.
O
You
know
sue
roars
done
a
great
job
on
focusing
new
recruits
on
the
Guardian
mentality,
instead
of
the
warrior
mentality
finding
that
balance
between
both,
because
we
are
both
when
they
arrive
here
in
our
department.
We
further
that
training.
We
continue
training
and
we
train
heavily
on
use
of
force
in
the
appropriate
uses
of
force
and
not
using
force.
That
is
not
justified
by
the
situation
that
we're
dealing
with.
O
We
are
a
nationally
accredited
agency
through
the
Commission
on
Accreditation
for
law
enforcement
agencies.
Not
only
do
we
did
we
receive
and
continue
to
receive
and
maintain
our
credited
status.
It's
not
good
enough.
We
want
the
best
that
they
have
to
offer,
and
so
we
received
a
gold
standard
in
accreditation.
O
We
have
to
meet
in
our
policies
and
our
practices
best
practices
in
this
profession.
If
we
don't,
we
don't
get
accredited
and
then
getting
the
gold
standard.
Not
only
do
we
meet
the
best
practices,
but
we
achieve
even
beyond
those
best
practices
to
include
things
on
racial
insensitivity,
bias,
discriminatory
practices,
use
of
force
officer
conduct
in
every
operation.
You
can
think
about
with
a
police
department.
O
We
engage
inside
the
police
department
with
courageous
conversation,
I
leverage,
our
advisory
councils
to
make
presentations
before
Patrol
briefings
and
our
detectives,
so
they
can
hear
firsthand
how
they
see
things
from
their
lenses
and
also
be
able
to
answer
questions
that
our
officers
may
have.
This
is
the
further
build
the
bridges
between
the
police
and
communities
and
specifically,
communities
that
are
often
marginalized
in
communities
of
color.
O
Several
years
back,
chief
Kobe
of
the
C
tag.
There's
got
forty
something
years
in
the
in
the
profession
brought
to
Bellevue
my
brothers
keepers,
training
program
and
basically,
the
platform
of
that
training
is
okay,
you're,
an
officer
and
something
bad
happens
in
front
of
you.
What
are
you
going
to
do?
What
are
your
options?
O
That
training
is
designed
to
say
you
have
that
moral
and
ethical
responsibility
to
stop
an
officer
that
may
be
intentionally
or
unintentionally
doing
something
that
is
way
out
of
bounds,
for
example,
what
we
saw
in
Minneapolis,
my
officers
I,
have
no
doubt
about
it.
If
they
would
have
witnessed
that,
they
would
have
pulled
that
officer
off
of
optimist
off
of
mr.
Floyd
I'm,
a
hundred
percent
convinced
and
again
I
can
give
you
examples
where
our
officers
have
made
mistakes.
True,
mistakes,
nothing
malicious
and
what
they
did
was
wrong
and
our
officers
brought
it
forward.
O
They
reported
it
not
Ratan
or
anything
like
that,
but
helping
the
officer
recognize
what
they're
doing
is
not
consistent
with
our
values,
the
values
of
the
city
and
the
values
of
the
community.
So
we
can
interdict
before
something
terrible
happens
and
bring
it
to
the
officers.
Attention
provide
additional
training
and,
in
some
cases,
if
I
determine
that
it
was
intentional
and
it
was
hateful
you're
fired
and
we
release
them
from
the
police
department.
O
There
was
another
question
that
was
asked:
what
advocacy
are
our
law
enforcement
leadership
and
officers
engaged
in
county
regional
state
and
national
levels
to
reduce
racially
biased
killings
at
those
respective
levels
and
I'm?
Assuming
bias
related
killings
involving
police
officers?
Our
officers
work
very
closely
with
community
members
in
community
groups,
such
as
congregations
for
the
homeless,
hope
link,
Youth
Eastside
services,
Eastside
pathways
I
have
officers
that
are
very,
very,
very
involved
with
the
six
advisory
councils
to
the
chief
african-american
Advisory
Council
Latino
latina
Advisory,
Council,
LGBTQ,
I,
Asian,
Pacific,
Islander
Muslim
and
an
interfaith
community.
O
I
have
officers
on
each
one
of
those
advisory
councils.
Members
of
my
command
staff
are
associated
with
our
full
members
of
the
Washington
associations
of
sheriffs
and
police
chiefs.
The
police
executive
Research,
yes
by
FBI
National
Academy,
associate
the
international
associations
of
Chiefs
of
Police,
the
national
organization
of
black
law
enforcement,
executives,
King
County,
Chiefs,
Association,
Eastside,
Chiefs,
Association
and
then
again
all
of
the
Advisory
Council
and
I'm
sure
I'm
missing
many.
O
Many
other
community
advocacy
advocacy
groups
that
help
build
those
relationships
and
always
remind
us
that
we
are
dealing
with
human
beings
and
we
will
always
treat
people
with
respect,
dignity
and
humanity
and
I'm
one
of
the
one
of
the
tell-tale
signs
that
we
may
have
a
problem
is
in
the
is
in
the
complaint
process
when
we
start
receiving
complaints
for
racial
profiling.
Excessive
force
mayor
council
I'm,
proud
to
say
that
our
numbers
are
very,
very,
very,
very
low
and
we
investigate
each
and
every
one
of
them
and
where
I
find
there
is
a
violation.
O
If
we
can
salvage
the
officer
through
training
and
Retraining,
we
will,
if
we
can't
a
firearm
and
again
I,
can
tell
you
in
the
five
years
that
I've
been
here.
Those
numbers
each
year
are
either
in
the
single
digits
or
the
low
double
digits
and
the
vast
majority
of
them.
We
find
it's
been
a
misunderstanding
on
the
individual
that
filed
the
complaint
and
again
we
prove
that
through
evidence.
We
prove
that
through
admissions
by
the
person
that
is
making
the
complaint-
and
we
have
experience
often
times
where
the
complainant
will
say.
O
We're
working
actually
I
had
I
had
a
conversation
this
morning,
I'm
sorry
this
afternoon,
with
chief
best
arm
investing
in
Seattle
we've
been
in
touch
quite
a
bit
as
we
have
with
other
King
County
Chiefs.
We
are
establishing
a
multi-jurisdictional
investigative,
Task
Force,
which
will
include
the
FBI.
In
fact,
the
FBI
is
in
Bellevue
right
now,
assisting
us
with
gathering
evidence,
but
we
are
going
to
prosecute.
Every
person
were
able
to
identify
one
of
the
best
things
that
I
think
that
we
have
gone
for
us
here
in
Bellevue.
O
Is
that
almost
every
store
has
video
cameras.
We
have
cameras
on
every
traffic,
pole,
I
believe
or
most
traffic
poles.
We
have
cameras
and
other
businesses
where
these
cells
were
dropping
off
cars
and
walking
into
downtown,
in
fact,
and
I
hope,
I'm,
not
on
a
term
for
Mamaroneck
saying
this,
but
I've
been
getting
text
messages
from
former
mayor
chowman
ACK,
who
has
got
license-plate
numbers
of
individuals.
We
believe
were
involved
in
this,
so
we
are
going
to
actively
pursue
criminal
charges
on
every
one
that
we're
able
to
identify.
O
We
are
right
now
in
the
process,
as
I
speak,
establishing
a
system
to
allow
the
public
to
share
evidence
to
assist
us
in
identifying
the
hundreds
of
suspects.
We
know
coordinated
this
attack.
We
have
an
information
line
up
and
running
right
now,
so
members
of
the
public
can
call
and
ask
questions
and

O
The

is
four
to
five
for
five
to
seven,
eight,
five,
three
and
I'm
sorry
I
said
it's
active
right.
Now
it's
going
live
tomorrow
morning.
Again
our
officers
and
our
staff
are
really
trying
to
focus
in
on.
If
this
criminal
enterprise
is
coming
back
to
Bellevue
tonight,
there
is
a
possibility
that
that
will
happen.
O
A
O
A
E
You
mayor
as
council
liaison
to
the
Planning
Commission
I
recommend
the
Shah
Baba
Baba
to
position
number
seven
of
the
Planning
Commission
he
brings
qualities
are
aligned
with
the
values
of
our
city,
the
needs
in
our
community
and
the
interests
of
the
Planning
Commission
he's
passionate
about
social
and
environmental
justice
and
has
a
strong
appreciation
for
community.
He
understands
the
importance
of
placemaking
enhancing
neighborhoods
and
the
relationship
between
community
and
economic
development,
that's
necessary
for
a
thriving
city,
contributing
to
his
understanding,
as
this
past
experience
with
planning
commissions
and
planning
departments.
A
Thank
you
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
any
opposed
terrific.
Thank
you
very
much,
I'd
like
to
also
announce
that
former
governor
Gary
Locke
is
now
the
interim
president
for
Bellevue
college,
which
was
very
exciting,
so
that
was
that
was
made.
That
announcement
was
made
last
week.
Okay,
we
have
a
consent,
account
calendar
deputy
mayor.
Is
there
a
motion
to
approve
the
consent
calendar
so.
K
A
P
Go
ahead,
thank
you
so
good
evening,
mayor
Robinson
and
deputy
mayor
new
in-house
council
members.
The
next
item
is
ordinance.
65
16
and
the
intent
of
this
ordinance.
That's
before
you
tonight
is
to
allow
board
and
Commission
members
to
actually
begin
to
hold
meetings
remotely
during
a
code
19
pandemic.
So
governor
Inslee
issued
a
statewide
emergency
order
due
to
the
cove
advice
that
prohibits
holding
meetings
in
person.
So
any
meetings
that
are
subject
to
the
open
public
meetings
act
have
to
be
held
completely
remotely.
That
means
the
board
and
Commission
members
as
well.
P
P
The
code
prohibits
more
than
two
members
of
the
affected
boards
and
commissions
from
participating
remotely
and
also
prohibits
any
member
from
remotely
participating
more
than
four
times
per
year.
So,
given
the
current
state
requirements
to
hold
fully
remote
meetings,
these
provisions
in
the
code
are
actually
currently
prohibiting
the
boards
and
commissions
from
meeting
in
order
to
conduct
the
business,
that's
on
their
agenda
and
they
do
have
some
issues
currently
on
their
agendas
that
are
important
and
need
to
move
forward.
P
So
the
ordinance
before
you
tonight
would
eliminate
the
city
code
restrictions
that
do
prevent
the
remote
participation
so
that
the
boards
and
commissions
can
start
meeting
these
same
restrictions
on
remote
participation
are
also
in
the
boards
and
commissions
bylaws.
But
the
boards
don't
have
the
authority
to
suspend
the
city
code,
which
is
why
this
ordinances
is
needed,
but
once
the
code
provisions
are
lifted,
the
boards
and
commissions
can
temporarily
suspend
there
by
law
provisions.
P
Just
like
the
council
has
been
doing
to
its
rules,
temporarily
suspending
the
limits
on
remote
participation,
and
they
can
do
that
during
the
coded
pandemic.
And
then
once
that
is
whenever
period
that's
over,
they
would
there
they
would
be
able
to
go
back
to
the
normal
restrictions
in
their
bylaws.
So
the
staffs
recommendation
is
to
adopt
this
ordinance
and
thereby
allow
the
boards
and
commissions
to
start
meeting
remotely
and
with
that
I'm
happy
to
take
any
questions.
Okay,.
A
Thank
you,
I'm,
going
to
ask
I'm
just
sending
a
picture
to
Charmaine
of
the
number
the
people
of
the
order.
Okay,
so
the
order
will
ask:
is
councilmember
Stokes,
councilmember
leagues
on
Robertson
Barksdale,
deputy
Mary
Newhouse
me
so
starting
with
councilmember
Stokes?
Do
you
have
any
questions
or
comments?
No.
D
F
Yeah
I'm
supportive
of
this
I
think
that
it's
Oh
am,
I
muted.
Can
you
hear
me
I
can
hear
you
okay.
My
thing
said:
I
was
muted
I'm,
supportive
of
this,
because
I
think
we
need
to
get
them
meeting
again.
For
example,
the
Transportation
Commission
needs
to
hold
a
public
hearing
on
the
transportation
improvement
plan
so
that
we
can
adopt
that
by
the
end
of
June,
under
as
we're
required
to
under
state
law.
F
So
there's
a
lot
of
work
that
has
been
held
up
both
at
Council
and
on
the
Commission,
so
I'm
glad
to
see
that
happen.
However,
my
question
is
in
removing
the
limitate
there.
There
was
a
reason
that
the
city
put
the
limit.
The
City
Council
put
the
limitation
on
the
remote
meetings
and
not
having
more
than
two
people
out,
etc
and
I
absolutely
understand
suspending
that
during
kovat
I
think
that's
very
appropriate
or
in
any
other
emergency.
However,
it
looks
like
from
the
draft
ordinance
that
the
plan
is
to
strike
all
of
that.
F
So
what
is
our
plan
to
put
that
and
put
that
back
in
after
the
emergency,
and
why
are
we
not
just
putting
in
a
subsection
that
says,
however,
the
City
Council
during
emergency
can
waive
some
section
whatever
it
was
and
allow
remote
meetings,
I
I'm
just
I'm
worried
if
we
change
it
that
we
may
never
get
around
to
changing
it
ACK.
So
that's
a
question
for
Cathy.
P
F
Makes
a
lot
of
sense,
so
the
bylaws,
which
I
know
we're
also
unified
as
far
or
uniform
when
they
make
a
vote
to
waive
the
bylaws.
That's
all
going
to
be
temporary.
That's
the
plan!
Is
that
correct,
that's
correct!
So
then
we'll
fall
back
on
the
bylaws.
That's
a
good
answer!
Okay,
great
I'm,
ready
to
move
forward
with
this.
Thank
you
thank.
B
N
I
A
I
Thought
the
same
way
as
Robinson
did,
but
I
think
city
attorney
adjust
the
answer.
The
question
yeah
I
think
the
bylaw
of
each
Commission
as
long
as
for
sure
restores
about
the
requirement.
I
think
that's
a
good
reason.
You
don't
want
to
have
the
commissioners
or
anybody
to
routinely
you
know
meet,
are
not
in
person,
so
I
think
that's
the
important
consideration
so
I'm
supportive
of
this
I'm
happy
to
go
for
it.
As
long
as
we
know
that
the
bylaws
is
going
to,
you
know,
be
temporary
and
remain
you
know
the
the
purpose.
P
Think
that's
the
same
man,
the
same
question
as
councilmember
Robertson,
which
is
that
that's
exactly
right
that
these
would
be
temporary
suspensions
and
one
skov
it
is
over.
The
bylaws
would
come
back
into
effect
and
would
permanently
put
back
in
place
these
restrictions
on
remote
participation.
Thank.
