as
a
quick
way
of
background
tonight
is
the
fourth
in
a
series
of
meetings
with
Council.
As
on
our
work
to
update
the
economic
development
plan,.
D
Its
effort
was
first
introduced
to
you
in
January
of
2019
and
after
discussions
regarding
the
objectives
and
scope
of
the
project
in
July
of
this
year,
staff
released
a
request
for
proposal
to
find
a
consultant
to
assist
with
the
plan
update
a
selection
committee
that
included
members
from
partner
organizations
selected
Avalanche
consulting
to
facilitate
the
economic
development
plan,
update
process-
and
we
are
here
tonight,
excited
to
be
here
tonight
with
our
teams
and
Avalanche
Consulting.
He
will
share
some
of
the
initial
findings
from
their
research.
D
Now,
the
scope
of
this
plan
is
built
around
the
eight
council
approved
objectives,
including
support
for
the
creative
economy,
support
for
small
business
support
for
retail,
identifying
best
practices
for
integrating
new
businesses
into
the
community,
supporting
capacity
building
for
community
groups,
integrating
the
recommendations
of
the
recent
visit
Bellevue
destination
development
strategy
into
the
plan,
as
well
as
make
the
plant
easier
to
update
with
a
chapter
based
framework
and
support
local
workforce
development.
Our
team
from
Avalanche
consulting
had
a
busy
day
today
with
focus
groups
and
stakeholder
interviews,
and
it
will
continue
tomorrow.
D
Our
focus
groups
are
around
the
creative
economy,
small
business,
retail
and
capacity
building,
and
so
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
introduce
you
to
our
consultant
team
and
have
them
share
some
of
their
initial
findings
from
their
research
and
with
that
I
turn
it
over
to
Tony
delici
from
Avalanche.
Thank.
E
You
and
good
evening
it's
a
pleasure
to
be
here
tonight.
My
name
is
Tony
delici
and
I'm.
Vice
president
at
Avalanche.
Consulting
this
is
my
colleague
John
research,
director
and
yeah.
We're
really
happy
to
be
here
and
our
first
trip
as
part
of
this
project.
We've
been
doing
a
lot
of
work
over
the
past
month,
both
over
the
phone
chatting
with
Jesse
and
Philly,
as
well
as
background
research
and
information
review,
but
just
a
little
background,
we're
both
with
Avalanche
consulting.
E
We
are
based
in
Austin
Texas,
but
we
are
nationally
focused
economic
and
workforce
development,
consulting
firm.
We
do
a
wide
range
of
strategies
with
communities,
big
and
small
rural
and
urban.
Some
recent
clients
of
ours
that
that
are
relatable
in
some
ways
to
Bellevue
include
Sonoma
County,
Economic,
Development
Board.
We've
done
work
for
the
city
of
Provo
Utah
West,
Palm,
Beach,
Florida,
Longmont
Colorado
was
a
joint
project
with
their
city
and
their
economic
development
group
currently
doing
work
in
Cleveland
Ohio
around
equity
and
inclusion.
E
We've
done
work
for
the
Atlanta
region,
Charleston
Charlotte,
really
just
all
over
the
country,
and
it's
always
a
pleasure
to
go
into
a
new
community
and
really
come
in
and
with
an
open,
mind
and
understand
what
are
the
challenges
and
the
issues
and
the
things
that
folks
are
hoping
to
address.
But
it's
it's
really
a
national
practice
and
I
think
it's
important
to
stress
that
there
isn't
a
one-size-fits-all
with
all
of
this.
E
That
client
map
will
show
for
you
that
these
are
very
diverse
communities,
lots
of
different
assets
and
different
challenges
and
aspirations,
and
when
we're
looking
at
economic
development,
it's
important
to
come
in
and
understand
that
the
modern
economic
development
field
is
it's
not
a
one.
Size
fits
all,
there's
a
lot
of
different
lenses
that
you
can
enter
the
conversation.
You
can't
talk
about
economic
development
without
talking
about
talent
and
workforce
which
gets
into
topics
like
affordability
and
economic
mobility
and
equity
and
inclusion.
It
can
draw
into
factors
around
the
environment.
E
Thinking
about
international
trade
and
innovation,
there's
a
lot
of
different
ways
that
you
can
enter
the
topic
and
it's
important
to
figure
out,
which
ones
are
most
important
for
this
community.
In
Bellevue,
we
were
lucky
that
you,
the
council,
we're
able
to
image
ekta
--vs
that
you
would
like
this
plan
update
to
focus
on.
I
won't
reiterate.
E
Philly
did
a
great
job
of
going
over
what
those
objectives
were
and
we're
really
taking
these
to
heart
as
the
the
key
elements
that
we
will
be
looking
on
as
we
develop
this
plan
and
not
ignoring
other
factors
but
taking
note
of
them,
knowing
where
they
come
up,
but
really
honing
and
making
an
effective
plan
for
bellevue
the
process,
as
we've
discussed,
will
be
about
six
months.
Our
initial
phase.
E
We
call
the
discovery
phase
and
that
involves
both
a
combination
of
stakeholder
engagement
and
hearing
from
people
here
in
the
community,
as
well
as
an
information
review
process
going
through
the
existing
plans
and
studies
that
have
been
completed
or
ongoing,
so
that
we
really
don't
duplicate
efforts
and
build
on
good
work
that
has
been
completed
and
that
stakeholder
engagement
is
also
qualified.
With
a
lot
of
detailed
data
analysis
to
update
our
understanding
of
where
bellevue
is
in
the
current
economy,
the
demographic
trends
and
how
those
fit
into
the
broader
region
comparison
to
some
benchmarks.
E
So
just
subject
you
where
we
are
we've
been
at
this
and
some
in
October
and
we've
completed
an
extent
of
information
review.
You'll
see
on
the
next
slide.
A
lot
of
documentation
that
we've
read
through
and
examined.
We've
had
ongoing.
Bi-Weekly
calls
with
city
staff,
identified
a
number
of
different
stakeholders
that
we'll
be
engaging
on
this
trip
and
throughout
the
process
trip
one
we
are
here
and
it
is
underway.
E
We
had
two
great
focus
groups
and
a
few
interviews
conducted
today
with
more
on
the
path
for
tomorrow
and
already
planning
out
those
those
same
continued
interviews
and
focus
groups
for
our
next
two
trips.
We
also
selected
benchmark
communities
to
compare
Bellevue
to
to
look
for
inspiration
and
areas
we
can
learn
and
see
where
things
are
going
very
well
or
there
might
be
some
improvement
here
and
we're
doing
our
ongoing
research.
This
is
just
a
quick
look.
E
We
we've
looked
at
a
lot
of
different
work
in
the
region
and
it's
a
testament
to
the
a
lot
of
great
work
that
has
been
done.
It's
something
that
speak
to
on
the
next
slide
there
in
a
few
slides,
but
really
impressed
by
the
quality
of
planning,
work
and
engagement
and
investment
that
the
city
as
well
as
regional
partners,
have
been
making
in
the
community.
E
These
were
identified
based
on
the
size
of
the
community,
similar
characteristics
in
terms
of
Industry
mix
location
within
a
major
metropolitan
area,
they're
not
all
identical
to
Bellevue
and
that's
on
purpose,
so
that
we
can
understand
where
there's
where
there
are
differences.
And
what
do
those
mean?
And
what
kind
of
lessons
can
we
draw
from
that?
But
really
thinking
about
factors
like
the
tourism
element
that
the
City
Council
would
like
to
focus
on
looking
at
the
types
of
industries.
E
E
When
we
hear
people
talking
about
transportation
and
affordable
housing
and
the
need
to
keep
up
with
demand
for
services
that
come
with
that
type
of
growth,
these
are
not
necessarily
unique
to
Bellevue.
That
I
would
say.
If
you
go
to
Austin,
we
you
ask
anybody.
What
are
the
things
you're
dealing
with
transportation
and
housing
will
be
number
one
and
number
two
every
single
time,
and
so
that
that's
there
there's
some
solace
in
that
that
you're
not
alone
in
these
things,
but
it
doesn't
make
them
any
easier.
E
There's
still
are
ways
to
deal
with
that
and
things
that
we
can
consider
and,
along
with
that
change,
and
that
that's
success
with
that
growth
and
especially
places
where
people
want
to
live.
You
see
changes
around
density
and
what
that
does
to
so
neighborhoods
and
the
characters
of
communities,
and
these
conversations
are
happening
around
the
country.
I
know
it
also
often
raises
concerns
and
thoughts
around
environmental
impacts
and
something
that
we're
bearing
in
mind.
Looking
at
this.
E
So
this
is
a
it's
a
really
big
moment,
I
think
always
when
you're
experiencing
that
growth
and
seeing
that
types
of
change
to
take
this
time
to
make
an
intentional
effort
in
a
plan
to
consider
what
types
of
investments
can
we
make
and
can
we
work
with
our
private
partners
and
nonprofits
and
others
to
really
plan
for
the
future,
and
that's
goes
to
another
effort
that
we
see
here
with
all
of
this
research.
E
Is
there
there's
a
really
strong
effort
that
the
city
has
made,
as
well
as
other
regional
partners
around
intentional
planning
on
these
things
like
John
and
I?
Do
this
work?
Many
communities
around
the
country
and
I
would
say
very
sincerely
that
it
is
impressive.
The
amount
of
work
that
has
been
put
into
here
from
citizens
and
businesses
and
neighborhoods
and
to
think
where
do
we
want
to
be
in
the
future
proactively,
make
those
investments
and
think
about
culture,
quality
of
life
I
know
celebrating
the
diversity
of
the
residents
and
the
businesses
here
in
the
community.
E
The
the
redevelopment
efforts
that
we've
seen
we
had
a
tremendous
tour
to
put
some
some
images
to
things
we've
been
reading
about
around
the
bell
red
district.
The
Eastgate
factorio
crossroads,
where
we
were
was,
was
really
neat
to
see
today
was
one
I
hadn't
heard
as
much
about,
but
seeing
the
the
thoughtfulness
that
goes
into.
E
That
is
tremendous,
and
also
that
emphasis
on
regionalism
and
the
partnering
things
like
the
innovation
triangle,
a
recognition
that
the
community
like
Bellevue,
is
not
standing
alone
on
an
island
as
part
of
a
broader
region
and
how
those
dynamics
play
out
is
is
really
important
and
it's
nice
to
see
that
those
efforts
are
going
forward
and
underway.
Also,
it's
a
we're
jealous
as
the
Austinites
looking
at
the
East
linking
extension
and
how
that's
moving
forward.
E
We
we
had
a
light
rail
bond
in
our
in
our
hometown
that
failed,
horribly
a
number
of
years
back
and
and
to
see
that
that
kind
of
proactive
thinking
forward
and
even
hearing
about
efforts
around
the
2040
planning
and
thinking
about
that.
It's
it's!
It's
not
common
around
the
country
and
it
is
very,
very
thinking
ahead
of
the
curve.
E
F
Time,
I'm,
just
second
Toni's
words
there
that
very
excited
the
levels
were
sustained
discipline
and
long-term
planning
is
quite
impressive.
We
have
to
deal
with
communities
that
have
either
made
bad
decisions.
A
lot
of
sort
of
infighting
or
I
would
say
in
certain
regards
community
to
experience
why
a
success
get
a
little
bit
sort
of
entitled
or
lazy
and
sort
of
again
this
for
deliberate
long
term
effort,
there's
a
proactive
development
here.
You
deserve
a
pat
on
the
back.
To
be
honest,
I'm
just
gonna
go
over
three
quick
data
sides.
F
This
is
very
sort
of
top
level.
I
think
on.
Our
next
visit
will
be
able
to
dive
a
little
bit
more
deeper
into
some
of
that
economic
and
demographic
trends,
but
just
want
to
talk
about
some
some
top-line
data
points
all
the
communities.
We
work
in
like
to
sort
of
boast
about
how
they're
unique
and
specific
ways
but
I
think
you
can
share
this
level
of
sort
of
employment.
F
F
You
know,
even
when
we
look
at
other
places
like
a
Santa,
Monica
or
Sunnyvale,
it's
nowhere
near
this
level.
So
you
are
extremely
unusual.
These
you
know
so
many
other
places
are
envious.
They
are
chasing
this
industry
and
you
have
it
sort
of
in
spades,
but
I
think
something
to
keep
being
mindful
of
is
the
overall
economic
diversity
within
the
region.
You
are
relatively
understand,
point
and
you're
becoming
less
so.
Basically,
you
have
that
extraordinary
concentration
in
software
employment
and
it's
among
the
fastest-growing
industries
in
the
city.
F
You
also
need
to
I
think
be
mindful.
When
we
talk
about
economic
diversity,
it's
not
just
industry.
It's
things
like
occupational
diversity,
business
size
right.
If
you've
got
three
or
four
sort
of
anchor
employers,
how
do
we
lift
up
small
businesses
so
that
sort
of
balanced
out
and
so
I
think
that's
an
opportunity
to
bounce
the
economy
moving
forward,
not
to
say
that
your
existing
employers
aren't
fantastic
I
mean
again.
F
And
so
when
we
talk
about
your
waiver
force,
it's
not
simply
the
people
who
live
here,
but
it's
all
the
other
people
in
the
greater
Seattle
region
are
coming
to
work
and
vice
versa.
And
so
how
do
we
balance
those
out
and
be
mindful
there's
various
stakeholders
within
the
community?
So
we
can
just
repeat.
D
Questions
I
just
want
to
let
you
know
where
we
are
in
the
project:
timeline:
avalanches,
first
trips,
they'll
be
back
January,
13th
and
14th
to
reconvene
the
focus
groups
and
continue
their
key
stakeholder
interviews,
and
then
staff
will
be
back
the
end
of
January
and
will
present
on
the
data
analysis
report
and
key
findings.
Avalanche
will
be
putting
together.
A
A
little
of
a
little
jealousy
there,
and
also
you
use
the
word
intentional
and
I
I
always
talk
about
that
word
as
being
important
as
you
look
at
growth
to
be
intentional
about
it
to
figure
out
what
you
want
to
be
to
figure
out
how
you
can
do
that
and
then
set
a
plan
to
go
about
doing
that,
I'm
going
to
because
we'll
go
back
and
forth
here
and
let
people
ask
questions
or
make
comments.
I'm,
gonna,
start
I'll
tell
you
I'll!
Do
the
zipper
again
this
this
night,
but
I'll
start
with
mr.
H
Great
to
meet
you
glad
to
hear
that
you're
kind
of
off
and
running
already
that's
fantastic
news.
There's
a
couple
of
quick
questions
for
you.
One
is
and
I'm
sure
this
is
not
indicative
of
all
your
clients
or
the
different
performing
economies
that
you've
worked
on,
but
I'm
just
kind
of
curious
on
your
slide
here.
How
your
approach
might
be
a
little
bit
different.
It
looks
like
a
lot
of
the
economies
or
the
cities
that
you've
worked
with
in
the
past.
E
H
E
I
think
you
know
we
see,
every
client
is
different
and
our
approach
is
generally
to
come
in
and
get
to
know
what
the
client
wants
to
achieve.
But
I
know
that
every
state,
no
matter
where
you're
working,
there's
yeah,
definitely
different
legal
environments
and
different
Deming
elements
that
we
need
to
understand
and
look
at
looking
at
the
cities
in
terms
of
what
the
tax
structures
and
tax
base
are
and
that's
part
of
what
we
will
be
analyzing
and
understanding
and
those
differ
pretty
significantly,
even
from
being
in
Texas
doing
work
in
Ohio
right.
E
E
We
believe
that
in
that,
no
matter
where
we're
working,
but
we
recognize
and
are
happy
when
we're
working
on
the
west
coast,
that
I
think
there
tends
to
be
a
clearer
public
recognition
that
we
need
to
be
transparent
about
this
and
ensure
that
we
have
reflected
the
the
needs
of
citizens
and
demonstrating
that
in
the
process
would
be
one
of
the
bigger
differences.
Some
communities.
Don't
care
as
much
about
that,
but
we
I
think
we.
H
F
Also
I
mean
I,
think
one
of
them
was
just
sort
of
held
you
want.
It
is
I,
think
mm-hmm
talking
to
local
residents.
They
feel
that
the
perception
of
Bellevue
and
the
greater
Seattle
region
is,
you
know,
very
affluent
and
there's
just
not
a
lot
of
diversity,
necessarily
or
not
not
diversity.
What
I'm
trying
to
say
everything.
G
I
F
E
Yeah
I
think
you
know
for
all
the
great
work
that
we
have
seen
in
the
intentionality,
but
in
the
meetings
that
we've
had,
we
haven't
talked
to
everybody,
but
there
still
remains
an
opportunity,
I
think
to
bring
organizations
of
people
together
much
more
there's.
There
is
a
degree
of
siloing
that
that
goes
on.
E
I
just
saw
very
clearly
with
some
of
the
arts
groups
and
people
not
having
a
more
unified
voice
and
opportunity
to
kind
of,
engage
and
I
think
that
the
the
capacity
building
efforts
that
were
identified
as
focus
for
this,
as
well
as
our
conversations
with
Chris
and
I
forgot
his
last
name
and
honor
the
public-private
partnerships,
and
that
creation
of
the
city
is
really
a
great
step
in
the
right
direction
towards
making
that
happen
and
I'm
I
know.
I
was
happy
that
this
was
identified
as
a
focus
for
this
effort.
Yeah.
I
E
H
And
then
last
quick
question
about
I'm
glad
you
had
this
as
one
of
your
slides
here
about
building
resilience
and
economic
diversity,
so
I'm
just
curious.
What
tools
have
you
seen
with
other
cities
that
have
worked
at
that
that
greater
balance
between
tech,
software,
slash
marketing
or
sorry,
manufacturing
or
healthcare?
Or
what
have
you
so
you.
E
E
Cities
themselves
have
have
somewhat
control
in
terms
of
land
use
and
the
decisions
that
they're
making
around
that
and
where
they
can
allow
certain
uses,
and
that
encourages
and
can
support
certain
types
of
businesses
inherently
on
that
front
and
so
having
a
conversation
about
what
we're
trying
to
grow
and
what
does
it
take
to
grow?
Those
types
of
businesses
will
fundamentally
affect
those
decisions
going
forward.
E
Education
is
a
big
factor
and
in
the
initial
RFP
workforce
wasn't
identified,
but
we
were
very
happy
to
see
that
was
added
in
that
it
is
the
number
one
topic
and
just
about
every
community
yeah
and
so
looking
at
and
understanding
what
your
educational
resources
are
and
how
you
direct
those
has
a
very
big
effect
on
the
types
of
types
of
industries
that
you
can
grow
mm-hm.
So
those
are
just
some
small
examples.
K
Yeah
also
your
reference
to
Austin.
Actually,
we
have
a
youtube
net
win
the
Bellevue
downtown
Association
and
they
go
every
year
that
the
city's,
which
is
I,
think
very
helpful
to
us
and
the
same
type
of
thing
and
we're
in
Austin
the
tight
at
the
year.
They
were
promoting
these
polite,
real
thing:
yeah.
L
K
What
I
and
one
of
the
things
in
getting
the
briefing
on
this
I
was
excited
about
the
the
creative
economy
being
part
of
what
you're
looking
at,
how
much
how
you
see
that
is,
it's
being
part
of
what's
moving
forward
in
Bellevue
and,
of
course,
that
encompasses
a
lot
of
the
tech
industries,
but
it's
more
than
that,
and
you
mentioned
about
and
one
of
the
concerns
we're
having
is
with
the
arts
and
culture
and
all
that.
How
do
we
maintain
out
how
we
grow
that?
K
But
how
do
we
not
lose
it
with
the
as
you
you
know,
and
you
find
in
cities
when
cities
have
success
and
the
tall
buildings
are
built,
that
it
has
a
some
often
a
negative
impact
on
culture
and
in
ways
I
mean
it
increases
it,
but
it
also
has
some
things.
So
that's
that's
something
I
hope
you're.
Looking
at
really
work
on.
We.
E
E
Right
now,
there's
that
there's
a
fear
of
the
the
Californication
of
Boston-
and
you
know
it's
a
hard
question
and
every
community
is
looking
at
it
differently,
but
a
lot
of
those
themes
and
reasons
that
we
were
hearing
in
our
conversation
with
the
creative
economy.
Folks,
today,
we're
very
similar
and
so
I
think
we've
got
some
ideas.
We
were
hearing
some
great
ideas
from
folks
in
the
room,
so
we're
excited
too
I.
Don't
want
to
put
the
card
ahead
of
the
horse
but
sure
sure
I.
F
K
Last
point
I
wanted
to
touch
on
is
I,
like
the
emphasis
on
this,
but
I
think
you
know
the
region
plays
so
much
a
part
in
this
is
you
know
City.
This
is
the
unique
city
in
terms
of
what
it
has
and
what
it
does
and
a
number
of
people
actually
live
in
the
city,
but
we
are
really
the
cultural
and
economic
driver
for
larger,
but
you
recognize
them
in
the
innovation
triangle
and
that
type
of
thing,
but
I
think
that's
very
important
to
be
looking
at
that
as
we
go
along.
K
How
do
we
increase
that
and
we're
becoming
more
regional
where
the
boundaries
are?
You
know
kind
of
artificial
and
that's
a
huge
change.
The
last
thing
is
absolute.
Last
thing
is:
how
do
you
do
all
this
and
keep
up
with
the
the
increasing
pace
of
change
and
driving
change
and
change
happens
when
overnight,
when
we
plan
for
this
and
something
else
comes
up
and
you
have
to
shift
so
we
understand
how
you
can
help
help
us
focus
on
that
yeah.
E
That
last
ones
are
very
good,
they're.
All
very
good
questions,
good
points
to
keep
in
mind.
Certainly
thinking
about
it
that
the
pace
of
change-
one
is
something
I
know
folks
are
struggling
with
and
I
know
that
we,
in
addition
of
the
work
that
we
do,
we
spend
a
lot
of
time
reading
to
make
sure
that
we're
thinking
ahead
to
what
the
the
the
next
sort
of
trend
is
going
to
be.
You
know
if
you'd
asked
anybody
in
this
field
15
years
ago.
E
They
wouldn't
have
thought
that
equity
and
inclusion
issues
would
be
top
of
mind,
but
we're
having
these
conversations
in
every
community
across
the
country
today
or
you
know,
autonomous
vehicles
would
envenom
people's
radar
twenty
years
ago,
but
I
know
that
we're
gonna
always
do
our
best
and,
with
this
think
about
ways
to
be
flexible
and
recognize,
I
would
say:
yeah
planning
there
there
isn't
an
end
destination,
we're
gonna
keep
growing
as
the
city.
So
how
do
you
build
a
plan?
E
That's
responsive
and
understanding
and
flexible
in
a
way
focus
on
a
goal
but
flexible
to
changing
conditions
and
able
to
adapt
and
I
think
the
goal
of
making
this
easier
to
use
and
format
coming.
The
plan
itself
inherently
easier
to
change
and
using
metrics
is
also
a
helpful
way
to
be
ready
for
those
things
so
that
you,
your
fingers
on
the
pulse
of
what's
happening
in
your
economy
and
you're,
more
responsive
to
bigger
changes
down
the
road
or
ready
to
adjust.
E
F
Add
I
think
there's
tremendous
benefit
of
being
fairly
significantly
ahead
of
the
curve.
A
lot
of
these
areas
already,
you
know,
I,
think
one
of
the
interesting
consequences
of
not
being
able
to
offer
incentives,
for
example,
is
that
economic
development
in
this
country
kind
of
comes
out
of
just
like
offering
the
most
incentives
in
the
lowest
cost
environment
possible,
which
is
amol.
F
The
south
is
used
pretty
heavily
and
it's
only
been
in
the
last
I'd
say
10
to
15
years,
as
we
move
to
an
emphasis
on
talent,
they've,
really
seen
investments
and
sort
of
your
product
and
quality
of
the
plates
that
have
become
paramount
and
things
like
transportation
or
transit
and
again
this
again
for
your
transit
system.
That
was
a
decision.
E
It's
to
make
your
community
more
whole
to
have
jobs
for
people
that
live
in
the
community
to
have
a
sustainable
working
place
that
people
love,
and
so
any
effort
that
does
focus
on
the
community
itself
on
the
people
that
are
here
in
the
businesses
is
well
we'll
always
be
paying
dividends
in
the
long
run.
Thank
you.
Okay.
G
M
Youngest
of
all
of
us
and
I
think
you
just
said
that
the
right
thing,
talent
and
people
and
community,
but
people
living.
We
are
very
blessed
about
city
of
go
you.
You
said
it.
You
know
when
you
meet
with
folks
here.
You
notice
that
we
are
great
city
and
it's
the
great
people
that
make
the
Sabri
city
but
the
same
time.
We
are
not
complacent,
we're
still
looking
for
better.
M
So
that's
the
challenge
and
it's
great
that
you
coming
from
another
place
and
that
you
are
not
part
of
the
people
here
that
or
you're
used
to
the
craziness.
Maybe
you
say
well,
why
are
you
doing?
What
are
you
looking
for
better?
You
come
from
the
outside
with
the
different
perspective.
Hopefully
you
see
something
that
we
can
actually
learn
and
improve
on,
and
we
may
appreciate
so
I
think
that's
very
important.
You
talked
about
also
placemaking.
It's
really
the
things
that
we
do
to
encourage
to
provide
the
talented
people
to
get
better.
M
You
know,
sometimes
it's
not
just
our
league
looking
for
something,
but
it's
developing
our
own
talent
and
with
that
we'll
get
other
things.
So
one
of
the
thing
that
I'm
going
to
comment
is
I
really
appreciate
this
holistic
view
that
you
have.
You
know
that's
what
makes
economic,
the
lens
and
I
think
we
have
certain
things
we
you
know
are
already
managing,
but
the
few
things
that
I
hope
you
can
help
us
discovers.
M
What
are
the
things
that
we
could
still
do
more
to
better
compared
to
other
cities
that
you're,
comparing
with
the
benchmark,
Silicon
Valley,
we
are
you
mentioned
even
or
technologically
blast
I
mean
part
of
a
blast.
I
just
want
the
admin
book.
We
just
celebrate
this
Thanksgiving,
so
it's
very
appropriate
for
me
to
say
that
we're
very
blessed.
We
have
a
lot
of
thankful
anyway,
you,
sir
Kamali,
so
we
we
are
actually
more
in
terms
of
technology.
You
know
jobs
and
all
that
even
better
than
Sunnyview.
M
Technology
we
already
enjoy,
you
know
I,
think
that's.
It
would
be
a
good
perspective
to
happen.
We
don't
want
to
say
well,
gonna
be
another
setting
about
you
know
we
have
our
own
strengths
and
assets.
How
can
we
duplicate?
Well?
Maybe
not.
They
learn
from
what
other
cities
have
done,
that
we
can
have
our
own
brand
of
technology,
security,
I.
Think
that's
what
with
attract
talent
to
come.
You
know
with
a
with
talents.
We
can
then
attract.
M
You
know
other
quality
of
life,
so
so
going
back
to
this
holistic
view,
so
I'm
looking
at
entrepreneurship,
innovation,
where
do
we
compare
with
others
such
as
silicon
valley?
You
know
I
I'd,
imagine
they
have
their
own
experience,
they've
gone
to
where
they
are.
Where
do
we?
Where
are
we
in
terms
of
that
entrepreneurship?
Any
of
these?
What
can
we
do?
You
know
to
get
to
where
they
have
been,
what
they
are
going
to?
M
You
know
different
ways,
that's
one
and
another
thing
that
was
mentioned
as
part
of
the
talent
and
people,
it's
arts,
culture
and
recreation.
Because
that's
what
is
paying
people
here?
That's
what
the
people
we
have
here
and
I
think
we
are
now
becoming
a
global
city
with
the
diversity
we
have
where
people
from
all
over
the
world,
because
the
talent
come
here
yeah,
they
are
attracted
to
come,
become
technology
workers.
That's
why
you
see
in
such
a
great
50
50
whatever
index.
M
M
Its
engagement
stakeholders
engagement-
you
have
learned
that
also
by
talking
to
the
people
here
in
sleep
value.
It's
talking
to
folks.
Knowing
what
the
public
wants
talk
to
the
folks
and
don't
forget
part
engagement
is
talking
to
I
hope,
they're
you've
identified
us
City
Council
members
as
stakeholders,
so
you
will
schedule
meeting
to
talk
to
us.
If
you
schedule
being
talk
to
us,
I
can
bend
your
ear
for
the
next
ten
hours.
Don't
quit
now.
If
I
have
the
opportunity.
C
A
A
couple
of
very
good
questions
in
there
that
I'd
like
to
hear
you
Pierre
Frank:
where
are
we
in
terms
of
entrepreneurship?
What
can
we
do?
That
would
increase
that,
and
how
do
you
see
us
where
we
are
on
the
arts,
culture
and
the
recreation?
We
have
a
great
parks
system,
maybe
arts
and
culture.
You
mentioned
that
earlier
as
one
that
feels
siloed.
So
could
you
just
open
on
that
yeah.
E
And
and
I
don't
want
to,
you
know,
preclude
us
having
completed
all
of
our
data
research
in
some
of
these
areas,
but
you
know
initially
I'll
say
you
have
that
incredibly
high
concentration
of
software
jobs,
where
Silicon
Valley
has
higher
ones,
there's
more
on
the
technology
side
of
things
on
the
actual
devices
and
the
manufacturing
of
things,
and
that
is
linked
more
towards
the
universities
that
are
there.
I
went
to
Stanford
my
undergrad,
the
high
level
of
research
and
engineering
that
is
coming
out
of
that
Bellevue,
not
having
a
major
research
university.
E
There
is
I,
haven't
pulled
the
data
yet,
but
there
highly
likely
much
less
of
that
patent
output
in
that
type
of
that
particular
type
of
innovation.
The
region,
though,
is
abundant
in
in,
in
that
it's
four
degrees
and
the
aerospace
side
of
things.
University
of
Washington
is
a
major
research
university.
There
are
components
of
that
spread
throughout
and
I
haven't
pulled
it,
but
I'd
likely
I'm
sure
we
would
see.
This
will
often
find
is
communities
like
like
Bellevue
in
a
region
like
this
high
concentration
of
people
holding
patents,
those
inventors
living
here
in
the
community?
E
They
might
be
working
for
companies
that
are
outside,
as
we
see
with
those
commuting
patterns,
are
going
to
University
of
Washington
and
doing
that
research,
but
they're
here
and
I
guarantee
you.
There
are
a
lot
of
inventors
and
folks
here
we
we
can
pull
that
information
and
have
a
better
quantification
of
what
that
looks
like,
but
in
terms
of
larger
institutional
research
dollars,
they're,
not
necessarily
in
Bellevue
but
again,
regionally.
E
There's
efforts,
I,
think
part
of
our
mission
with
the
small
business
effort
is
not
just
looking
at
you
know:
small
retail
businesses
with
the
whole
range
startup
4:25
group
and
others.
How
can
we
support?
You
know
things
from
a
technology
firm,
getting
started
here
all
the
way
to
a
small
mom-and-pop
business,
so
we'll
get
better
handle
on
that,
but
I
think
there
there's
there's
always
room
to
grow.
That
effort
and
I
think
it's
an
important
part
of
that
comment.
Puzzle.
M
E
Sam
Fair
innovation,
culture,
mm-hmm,
the
beginning
of
Silicon
Valley
in
that
origin
was
the
Sanford
industrial
park,
which
was
specifically
spinning
off
those
companies
from
Hewlett
Packard
and
all
the
others
in
getting
it
going
and
as
the
reason
those
fields
turned
into
you
know
what
you
see
today
on
the
arts
side
of
it
general
impressions.
I,
think
you
know,
this
area
of
the
country
is
very
well
known
for
the
parks,
outdoor
recreation,
the
tremendous
lifestyle
that's
available
here
and
I
know
there
there's
a
lot
to
celebrate
in
the
arts.
E
We
met
with
some
great
organizations
here,
I
think
that
it
is
less
concentrated
and
you
would
see
in
some
areas,
and
that
has
the
potential
to
be
and
that
there's
opportunity
for
greater
coordination.
It's
it's
a
challenge
with
cost-of-living
other
factors,
but
I
think
it
could
be
more
robust
and
I.
Think
you'll
always
be
more
reckless.
How
do
we
continue
to
push
that
a
little
bit?
Okay,
good.
O
I
really
like
the
presentation
so
far,
you
know,
one
thing
is
25%
of
startups.
I
understand
used
to
work
for
Microsoft,
so
you
know
we
do
have
pieces
of
that
when
I
look
at
the
holistic
view,
I
I
really
like
that
lens
I
I
would
say
that
one
thing
as
I'm
reading
this
I
don't
see
the
word
sustainable
in
here.
So
perhaps
when
we
think
about
the
environment
and
public
spaces,
we
can
think
about
sustainability
in
that
lens
as
well
and
then
I
guess.
O
For
me,
one
thing
I
would
want
to
know
is,
as
you
look
at
our
objectives,
I'd
want
to
ask
the
question:
what's
missing
right?
Are
there
things
that
we
thought
in
our
infinite
wisdom
we
had
covered?
But,
as
you
look
at
us
you'd
say:
oh
there's
something
missing
and
then
the
other
one
is.
As
you
look
at
the
preliminary
findings,
would
you
still
choose
the
same
for
peer
cities?
O
Or
would
you
choose
some
other
cities
because,
as
you
look
at
our
demographics
or
the
pieces
that
make
us
a
little
unusual
right,
both
the
employment
center
and
the
bedroom
community?
Are
there
other
cities
that
may
be
closer
to
us
than
the
ones
that
you
chose
initially
based
on
I'm,
just
looking
at
us
from
from
the
data.
F
You
know
just
from
a
still
drinks
perspective,
there's
very
few
communities
that
was
educated
like
70%,
so
automatically
it's
probably
90%
of
communities,
and
you
look
at
you
know
this
was
an
absolute
requirement,
but
we
thought
it
would
be
preferable
that
they
also
be
situated
in
a
major
metropolitan
area,
because
that
informs
a
lot
of
what's
going
on.
Here
is
that
you've
got
a
vibrant
city,
but
except
there's
a
regional
access
to
labor
and
town
and
major
facilities
like
a
International
Airport
that
you
would
normally
see
in
a
city
like
on
earth.
F
F
It's
pretty
much
fallen
consistent
for
50
years
straight,
hit
all-time
low
issue,
the
places
that
people
are
moving
to
are
relatively
limited
to
10
or
15
metropolitan
areas,
and
so
it
is
places
like
moving
from
you
know,
Bellevue
to
Silicon
Valley
to
Boston
and
vice
versa,
so
I
feel
pretty
comfortable
I'm
very
comfortable
with
the
benchmark
list.
I
would
also
add
there
that
when
we
talk
about
things
like
the
best
practices
in
case
studies,
by
no
means.
F
O
E
I
know
we
stress
and
I
we
put
it
in
a
proposal
and
I
firmly
believe
this
to
equity
and
inclusion
have
become
very
buzzwords
and
a
lot
of
things,
but
we
really
really
take
this
effort
to
heart.
The
project
I'm
leading
in
Cleveland
right
I,
was
in
a
inclusive
growth
strategy,
just
for
city
of
Cleveland
and
looking
at
how
they
dress
long
term.
Systemic
disparities
and
big
topics
like
racism
as
a
community
I
mean
it's.
It's
very
big
issues,
but
I
know
that
we
have
a
lens
to
that.
E
O
And
then,
on
the
info
review
a
couple
things
I
noticed
the
our
smart
city
strategy.
I,
don't
see
in
here
our
diversity
plan
our
Universal
space
design,
which
I
think
we're
really
proud
of
some
of
the
ad,
a
work
that
Blaine's
been
doing
and
then
our
ESI
environmental
sustainability,
because
it
seems,
like
you
know,
I
think
about
the
fact
that
this
is
a
place
where
we
very
much
care
about
the
environment
and
from
an
economic
development.
O
B
O
I
wondered
about,
and
then
I
think.
Lastly,
in
terms
of
edge,
you
look
at
the
people.
You're
gonna
meet
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
meeting
with
some
of
our
community
organizations
that
are
very
diverse
because
I
think
they
might
bring
a
voice.
That
is
not
as
heard
as
it
could
be
when
I
think
about
inclusive
economies.
The
new
foundation,
aside
for
all
that's
being
started,
and
one
of
their
pillars
is
inclusive
economies,
so
spending
some
time,
maybe
looking
at
what
they're
doing
to
get
someone
out
there
really
excited.
O
E
O
And
it
couldn't
start
to
bring
that
that
diverse
economy,
because
I
do
worry,
that
the
workforce
development
piece
we're
becoming
a
much
more
expensive
place
to
live.
And
so,
if
we
have
a
hard
time
retaining
talent
because
they
can
move
somewhere
farther
away
and
pay
a
lot
less
for
housing,
then
we
will
start
to
be
in
a
downward
spiral.
Yeah,
which
we
want
to
avoid
a.
P
A
lot
to
say,
including
me,
but
I'll,
try
to
be
short,
so
I'm
kind
of
stuck
on
this
economic
diversity
thing
with
the
IT
being
our
main
business
sector.
If
you
think
of
IT
being
a
pencil,
everybody
uses
pencils
and
our
pencils
are
used
in
all
these
different
business
sectors
and
if
you
take
the
pencil
making
companies
away-
and
we
have
the
most
probably
the
most
pencil
making
companies
here,
you
take
those
away.
We
still
are
a
super,
diverse
economy,
and
so
it's
kind
of
an
interesting
way
of
looking
at
it.
P
E
E
If
you
look
at
the
the
2001
crash
and
and
what
happened
to
a
lot
of
communities
was,
there
were
significant
job
losses
in
software,
and
that
was
a
cross
of
wide
range
of
areas,
and
it's
not
to
say
that
it's
it's
it's
been
Haren
ly
bad,
but
always
just
having
an
eye
to
understanding
what
the
dynamics
are
of
our
economy
and
what
some
opportunities
might
be
to
grow.
Other
sectors
such
as
you
know,
outdoor
recreation,
goods
or
things
along
those
lines
to
see
how
we
can
just
be
cognizant
of
those
yeah.
Q
P
R
So
this
is
pretty
exciting,
so
I
understand
that
you're
talking
to
a
lot
of
stay
close,
but
we
haven't
seen
that
list.
So
it's
hard
for
me
to
recommend
it
or
know.
If
there's
any
you
missed,
because
we
haven't
seen
that
list
so
Jessie.
Can
you
please
share
that
list
with
council
so
that
we
can
know
if
there's
something
missing
or
do
you
have
the
list?
Does
someone.
R
It
said
that
in
the
packet
and
that's
that
you're
gonna
talk
to
75
but
I,
don't
know
which
75
so
it's
hard
for
me
to
give
input.
If
I
we
do
have
a
summary
sheet,
so
we'll
make
sure
to
get
that
yeah.
Please
send
that
out.
So
cuz,
that's
one
of
the
ways
you're
gonna
get
to
know.
Bellevue
and
I
know
you
know
we
don't
have
incentives,
but
just
FYI.
We
don't
also.
We
also
don't
have
tax
increment
financing
allowed
in
the
state
of
Washington.
R
R
Then
you
really
are
weakened.
If
that
one
particular
sector
isn't
I
mean
I,
think
tech
is
gonna,
continue
to
grow.
I
think
it's
gonna
stay
strong
for
quite
a
while,
but
diversification
is
really
important.
It's
also
important
to
avoid
what
you
were
saying
about
Austin
of
the
Californication
Californication,
one
of
the
things
that
counsel
discussed
in
setting
our
priorities
for
how
there
are
objectives
was
it
was.
R
It
was
retaining
diverse
local
businesses,
because
what
we're
happening
is,
as
the
value
of
land
is
going
up,
which
it
is
significantly
a
lot
of
the
businesses
are
getting
pushed
out.
That
are
the
ones
that
we
all
need
for
our
day-to-day
life,
whether
it's
to
service
my
car
or
fix
the
sewing
machine
or
something
like
that.
R
They
can't
afford
to
be
here
and
if
they
can't
afford
to
be
here,
then
the
people
who
live
here
will
have
to
go
further
afield
or
engage
in
more
of
a
throwaway
economy
and
just
getting
it,
and
that's
not
good
for
anybody.
It's
not
good
for
traffic,
it's
not
good
for
the
environment.
It's
not
good
for
just
for
sustainability
versus
so
I.
Think
that
that's
something
that
I
just
want
to
make
sure
you're
aware
that
the
council
had
that
discussion.
R
It
also
has
to
do
with
startups
and
innovation,
and
this
is
we
don't
have
a
major
research
university
here
we
do
have
global
innovation,
exchange,
I,
hope,
you're,
aware
of
that
and
Bellevue
college.
So
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
continue
to,
in
addition
to
have
an
affordable
housing
for
people
for
the
talent
to
live
in
having
affordable
space.
So
those
startups
can
germinate
and
grow
is
really
important.
R
R
I
think
that,
looking
at
all
of
the
ways
that
why
people
like
to
live
here
is
really
the
way
to
go,
there's
a
couple
things
that
I
haven't
heard
mentioned
directly,
and
so
one
of
them
is
which
we
don't
have
a
say
in,
but
is
really
important
to
our
economic
development
plan
and
livability
is
our
school
district.
Our
school
district
is
an
excellent
public
school
district
and
making
sure
that
that
stays,
strong
I
think
is
gonna,
be
a
component
that
we
don't
have
control
over.
But
you
know
we
need
it's
a
factor.
R
R
R
Out
the
5g
I
think
that's
gonna,
be
a
really
important
way
to
strengthen
our
strengthen
our
economy
on
to
you
know
to
keep
it
going.
So
those
are
just
some
comments.
You
don't
need
to
reply
back
because
we're
running
short
of
time,
but
I'm
looking
forward
to
this
and
you'll
come
back
in
January
yeah.
All
right,
thanks
and
yeah
I
agree
with
the
comment
that,
if
you
want
to
talk
to
council
members,
maybe
we
should
work
that
in
and
at
the
January
meeting,
when
you
come
or
January
time
to
go
back
thanks.
A
F
About
that's
Bellevue
in
that
software
publishing
software
published,
so
you
could
be
working
for
software
in
a
bank,
and
that
would
not
capture
that
which
is
interesting,
a
sort
of
great
marketing
advantage,
because
it's
much
more
common
that
we
work
for
communities
that
actually
have
a
lot
of
tech
talent.
But
it's
embedded
in
things
like,
let's
say,
a
bank
insurance,
car
insurance
company
and
so
they're,
not
known
for
having
tech
talent,
even
though
they
they
have
a
lot
of
it.
It's
just
not
in
the
tech
industry.
G
A
A
A
Well,
I
guess
it
is
really
just
the
issue
of
how
do
how
does
economic
development
help
solve
these
really
weighty
issues
that
we
have,
in
particular
diversity,
inclusion
and
the
socio-economic
features
that
we
have,
where
it's
not
just
people
who
are
at
the
very
low
end
of
the
socio-economic
structure
that
can't
afford
to
live
in
Bellevue
and
you
go
from
becoming
an
unaffordable
community
to
becoming
an
exclusive
community?
That's
not
good!
It
is
a
problem,
as
you
say
that
virtually
worldwide
you
have
a
strong
economy.
You've
got
transportation
and
housing
issues.
A
There's
no
doubt
around
that
I
guess,
since
I
only
have
this
meeting
and
another
one
to
go,
I
would
really
encourage,
as
part
of
our
public-private
partnership,
looking
at
ways
that
we
can
break
that
cycle
just
with
as
I
say,
just
with
transportation.
You
do
have
to
build,
but
you
can't
just
simply
build
your
way
out
of
congestion
by
just
building
more
roads
got
to
be
smart
and
have
people
be
jealous
about
having
transit
and
all
of
these
other
types
of
methods,
the
same
I
think
is
true
of
housing.
A
When
we
sell
our
house,
it
will
be
knocked
down
and
I
mean
there's
just
no
doubt
and
so
I
think
from
that
standpoint,
I
think
that
that
is
something
that
we
ought
to
match
up
our
economic
development
with
our
public-private
partnership
with
our
planning
group
and
try
to
figure-
and
you
know,
maybe
development
services.
We
do
a
really
good
job
actually
of
getting
development
permits
through
the
process.
A
So
I
guess
I
will
leave
it
at
that.
I
I
remembered
the
last
question,
but
we
can
catch
up
at
some
point
in
time
or
I
can
ask
one
of
the
remaining
council
members
to
ask
you
when
you
have
your
meeting.
So,
thank
you
very
much
for
the
check
on
this
I
guess.
I
was
just
going
to
mention
that
when
I
got
on
council
and
ran
for
council,
we
had
three
buildings
in
downtown
Bellevue
that
were
capped
off.
They
hadn't
even
dad
not
cut.
G
A
It's
under
construction
right
now,
just
across
the
street
and
if
you're
here
tonight
and
you're
not
going
anywhere
for
a
little
while
I
really
suggest
you
run
up
to
the
Botanical
Garden
and
see
the
garden
delights
and
take
some
pictures
and
take
that
concept
back
to
your
other
cities.
It's
pretty
amazing
something
different
from.
F
A
U
A
A
B
Just
by
way
of
background
with
relative
to
this
project,
the
council
acquired
the
title
of
property
up
in
the
Newport
Hills
in
2010
and
subsequently
two
adjoining
properties
for
purposes
of
developing
the
neighborhood
park
in
the
Newport
Hills
neighborhood.
In
then
in
2019
to
2025
and
the
CIP
budget,
that
council
approved
funding
to
develop
a
park,
and
since
that
time,
staff
has
been
working
closely
with
the
neighborhood
to
create
a
plan
for
the
park.
Staff
are
here
this
evening
to
discuss
the
public
engagement
process
as
well
as
to
present
the
park
board.
B
V
V
Yes,
so
tonight
we
are
just
here
seeking
feedback
on
the
preferred
plan.
The
parks
board
has
engaged
in
an
extensive
community
outreach
process
with
the
community
going
close,
we'll
be
walking
us
through
the
process
that
has
helped
to
inform
the
park
board
and
talk
about
the
the
information
that
has
led
to
the
park
board
coming
up
with
its
preferred
recommendations.
So
with
that
I'm
going
to
just
turn
it
over
to
Glen
post
Thank.
W
You
Shelly
good
evening,
mr.
mayor
and
council
I
think
it's
I
think
it's
actually
interesting.
We're
following
the
economic
development
presentation,
I'm
sure
Brad,
you've
carefully
planned
this,
and
while
it's
always
good
to
look
ahead,
10
or
15
or
20
years,
it's
also
great
that
we
can
work
with
the
development
or
with
the
community
to
develop
these
public
spaces.
These
so
called
people
spaces
that
really
helped
make
Bellevue
a
great
place
to
live.
So
that's
why
we're
here
tonight
is
to
talk
about
one
of
those,
what
we
hope
to
have
it's
a
great
place.
W
W
The
area
outlined
in
the
dashed
blue
is
the
what
we
call
the
mailing
limits.
That's
the
limits
that
we
that
we
distributed
Flyers
to
announcing
the
the
various
meetings
and,
of
course,
the
the
red
being
the
the
park
along
South
East
60th.
That
was
acquired
initially
in
2010
as
the
Tyler
property,
and
then
we
acquired
additional
property.
W
This
is
the
Tyler
property
right
here
and
then
to
the
north
of
that
the
Patterson
piece
was
acquired
in
2015
about
five
acres
and
then
just
about
a
year
ago,
we
acquired
the
brick
property.
So
altogether
we
have
a
property
of
about
13.7
acres.
The
majority
of
that
about
ten
acres
of
that
about
three-quarters
of
it
is
acquired
as
open
space
for
preservation
purposes,
and
it's
heavily
wooded
and
steeply
sloping.
The
area
outlined
in
yellow
is
what
we
refer
to
as
the
developable
area.
W
W
Generally
speaking,
we
have
the
outreach
on
each
of
the
meetings
was
identical
where
we
distributed
over
3,000
flyers
mailed
to
all
the
residents
within
that
dashed
line.
We
also
advertised
on
our
website
Newport
Hills
advertised
on
their
website.
It
was
also
advertised
through
next-door
and
also
on
the
so
called
gov
alerts.
So
you
can
sign
up
for
that,
and-
and
this
is
this-
is
the
attendance
at
each.
We
have
we
conducted
three
meetings.
The
first
one
was
actually
hosted
by
the
Newport
Hills
Community
Club.
W
That's
actually
not
the
case,
we've
working
closely
with
our
IT
department,
we've
put
together
the
so
called
heat
map
here
that
reflects
the
input
and
the
attendance.
This
happens
to
be
of
the
September
24th
community
meeting,
where
we
had
sign-in
sheets,
where
we
actually
had
a
sign-in
sheet
for
both
as
July
and
September
meetings.
The
July
meeting
would
look
very
much
like
this.
This
is
the
this
is
where
the
people
came
from.
W
It's
signed
in
to
the
meeting
if
you
notice
the
September
24th
fifty-three
people
not
including
myself
or
other
City
of
Bellevue
staff
or
council
members
or
Park
board
members.
In
fact,
we
had
three
to
four
park
board
members
at
each
of
the
community
meetings
and
council
members
also
attended,
and
they
are
not
counted
in
here.
But
the
vast
majority
of
folks
that
attended
the
meetings
and
that
submitted
comments
were
in
fact
from
from
Newport
Hills.
W
So
oops
so
based
on
the
first
meeting,
we
we
met
with
the
the
community
May
21st
and
that
we
received
a
significant
amount
of
feedback
from
that
meeting
and
based
on
that
feedback,
we
prepared
three
alternative
plans.
They
look
at
first
glance
fairly
similar
to
each
other.
They
are.
They
reflect
a
very
similar.
W
Plan,
the
difference
being
the
alternative,
a
would
be
the
least
developed,
have
the
fewest
amenities,
be
a
few
more
and
see
has
is
pretty
robust
in
terms
of
the
the
number
of
amenities
which
reflects
almost
to
a
tee.
The
feedback
that
we
received
from
from
the
community,
the
the
the
representative
sampling
of
the
comments
received
that
that
requested,
not
just
an
off-leash
area,
but
a
number
of
different
general
use.
Amenities
such
as
picnic
areas,
open
space
play
areas.
W
Loop
trails
are
all
reflected
in
these
plans,
each
of
which
has
a
similar
concept,
but
then
we
we
took
those
these
plans
to
the
to
the
next
community
meeting
in
in
July
and
also
to
the
park
board,
and
this
is
the
feedback
that
we
received
from
that
and
you'll
notice
there's
a
strong
preference.
This
is
the
community.
This
is
the
survey
that
we
took,
but
is
also
reflective
of
a
lot
of
the
comments
we
received
both
comment
cards
and
emails.
That
was
a
strong
preference
for
the
alternative
see,
and
there
were
a
lot
of
combination.
W
Most
of
the
combination
comments
were
they
wanted
a
combination
of
of
amenities
that
were
both
in
options
B
and
C.
So
there
was
a
strong
preference
for
the
greater
the
number
of
amenities,
the
the
more
popular
it
it
became.
Park
Board
expressed
similar
similar
support
for
alternative
C.
Although
there
was
quite
bit
of
interest
in
considering
a
smaller
off-leash
area,
the
each
of
the
alternatives
had
the
the
off-leash
area
at
a
roughly
60/40
split
about
60%
of
the
developed
area
devoted
to
off-leash
and
about
40%
devoted
to
the
general
use
area.
W
The
park
board
suggested
several
of
the
park
board.
Members
suggested
that
a
smaller
off-leash
area
would
be
more
reflective
of
a
neighborhood
facility.
Others
thought
alternative.
C
was
right
sized,
so
the
consensus
was
that
we
should
reduce
the
Ola.
So
we
did
in
the
the
following
iteration
of
the
plan.
We
developed
a
preferred
plan
that
reduced
the
size
of
the
Ola
to
an
equivalent
size
of
the
general
general
use
area.
W
So,
rather
than
about
an
acre
in
3/4
versus
of
an
acre
and
a
quarter
for
general
use
area,
both
of
the
areas
are
roughly
an
acre
and
a
half
in
the
in
the
preferred
plan.
So
this
is
basically
some
of
the
features
that
are
in
the
plan,
the
equivalent
size
of
the
off-leash
area
and
general
park
area.
The
picnic,
shelter
and
an
open
lawn
area
was
an
extremely
popular
request
for
community
gatherings.
W
Neighborhood
gatherings
the
off-leash
area
would
be
fully
fenced
and
separate,
and
apart
from
the
general
use
area,
there
would
be
an
adventure
theme
to
play
area.
The
comments
were
that
we
do
have
a
number
of
player
is
in
the
in
the
neighborhood
one
down
the
street
at
the
Newport
Hills
Park
a
couple
of
in
the
schools.
So
we
thought
a
kind
of
a
unique
play.
Play
area
would
be
in
keeping
with
those
comments.
So
we
landed
on
an
adventure
theme
to
play
area.
W
Loop
trails
were
again
extremely
popular
amenity
requested,
so
there
are
loop
trails
throughout
the
throughout
the
site:
Street
frontage
improvements
and,
in
particular
crosswalk
across
South,
East
60th
for
safety
purposes,
a
paved
entry,
drug
party
and
restroom.
So
this
is
the
the
preferred
plan
that
was
the
the
combination
of
community
input
and
park
board
input.
So
essentially
what
we
did
is
we
took.
It
looks
very
similar
to
alternative
see,
although
we
took
this
this
area
here
this
this
this
walkway
and
moved
it
from
where
it
used
to
be
right.
W
Here
we
moved
it
toward
the
street,
reducing
the
area
of
the
off-leash
area,
increasing
the
area
of
the
general,
the
the
size
of
the
general
use
area,
so
that
the
two
are
roughly
equivalent
in
size.
So
that's
the
key
difference,
but
in
terms
of
the
remaining
amenities,
very
similar
loop
trails,
that
will
have
a
number
of
different
options.
You
can.
You
can
walk
this
loop,
you
could
walk
a
larger
loop.
There's
access
from
one
hundred
and
sixteenth
Street
through
the
adjacent
School
District
property.
W
The
there
will
be
cross
walk
across
South,
East
60th
right
here
at
the
southeast
corner
of
the
park.
The
entry
Drive
will
be
paved
with
some
parking,
a
community
shelter
here
with
a
gathering
area,
open,
lawn
play
and
adventure
play
area
in
this
area.
One
of
the
options.
Actually,
we
had
talked
with
the
community
about
actually
putting
the
adventure
play
areas
within
the
woods,
not
a
good
idea.
There's
security
issues,
then
we'll
talk
I'll
talk
about
that
in
a
minute,
but
then
going
back
to
this.
W
We,
we
then
reviewed
this
at
the
third
community
meeting
and
we
got
generally
favorable
comments
from
the
community.
The
comment,
the
the
majority
of
people.
There
said
they
they
were.
They
liked
the
plan,
though,
if
they
had
their
druthers,
they
would
rather
revert
back
to
the
size
of
the
Ola
in
the
in
alternative
C,
which
was
the
larger
size
Ola.
W
But
we
did
not
change
the
plan
and
then
presented
this
along
with
those
comments
to
the
park
board
at
their
November
meeting,
and
they
review
that
and
there
was
a
extremely
robust
conversation,
mostly
centered
around
the
relative
appropriateness
of
the
sizes
of
the
Ola
and
the
open
play
area
and
at
the
end
of
the
day,
they
unanimously
recommend
that
we
move
forward
with
the
the
plan
that
has
equivalent
spaces
equivalent
size,
Ola
and
general
use
area.
So
that's
so
that's
where
we're
at
right
now
and
that's
the
recommendation
from
the
park
board
and
it
was.
W
It
was
a
unanimous
recommendation.
So
what
we're
asking
for
is
feedback
on
that
plan
so
that
we
can
get
into
more
detailed
design
engineering
permitting.
One
of
the
things
we
I
mentioned
earlier
about
the
permitting
is
because
the
site
is
kind
of
long
and
skinny
and
here's
the
road
where
most
of
your
access
and
vehicles
go,
and
here
is
where
a
lot
of
the
developed
areas,
the
the
picnic
area
and
the
playground,
and
so
it's
it's
a
long
way.
W
So
what
we're
going
to
be
doing
is
part
of
the
permit
process
is
working
with
our
police
department
within
a
concept
called
sub
10
with
crime
prevention
through
Environmental
Design,
we'll
work
with
them.
We
did
this
earlier
with
our
Lewis
Creek
picnic
area,
where
we,
where
that's
sort
of
in
the
woods
and
we
work
with
them.
W
Visibility
is
a
big
thing
and
security
is
a
big
thing,
so
we're
going
to
work
with
them
to
see
what
kind
of
things
we
need
to
do
to
make
sure
that
we
not
only
create
a
fun
environment
but
also
a
safe
one.
So
so
those
are
the
kind
of
things
that
we're
going
to
be
working
with
through
the
permit
process
and
if
things
progress
well,
we
will
be
in
a
position
to
have
a
park
available
by
the
end
of
next
year.
W
R
Things
that
I
want
to
share
with
the
council
as
liaison,
but
then
I'll
try
to
keep
my
comments
brief,
but
before
we
begin
I
wanted
to
thank
you,
clan
for
your
many
years
of
service
to
Bellevue
I
know
this
is
gonna,
be
your
last
council
meeting.
You
have
your
fingerprints
on
a
whole
lot
of
good
work
over
the
years.
How
long
have
you
been
with
the
city
18
years
18
years
ago?
So
almost
two
decades
downtown
Park
minbar
Park
lots
of
smaller
parks,
open
space,
you've
been
a
wonderful
park
advocate
and
I
really
want
to.
R
Thank
you
on
behalf
of
the
whole
council
for
your
service.
Thank
you
so,
and
I
also
wanted
to
let
the
council
know
well,
and
many
council
members
do
know
that
the
park
support
members
really
went
above
and
beyond
on
this.
It
was
a
kind
of
a
quick
time
frame
to
get
this
done,
so
it
could
be
built
next
year
and
we
had
park
board
members
going
to
the
community
meetings.
We
had
council
members
going
to
the
community
meetings,
so
I
really
do
think
that
people
were
very
involved
and
interested
in
getting
this
right.
R
So
with
that
said,
I
think
that
this
is
a
good
plan.
It
seems
to
have
good
support
and
good
amenities.
I
was
on
the
council
when
we
bought
this
piece
of
property
and
it
was
purchased
for
the
neighborhood
as
a
neighborhood
park.
So
the
the
conversion
of
some
of
it
to
off-leash
areas
has
been
tough
so
for
some
folks,
because
that's
not
typically
a
neighborhood
park
use
so
I
appreciate
the
balint.
The
rebalancing
my
understanding
about
the
balancing
is
that
it
is
due
to
a
lot
of
the
topography.
R
W
That's
right,
one
of
the
one
of
the
things
we've
been
able
to
accomplish
with
the
with
the
plan
and
again
it's
conceptual,
but
we
believe
you
will
we
get
to
the
engineering
we'll
be
able
to
separate
those
two
uses
in
a
very
effective
way,
topographically,
because
the,
although
it's
a
when
you
look
at
it,
it
looks
flat.
It's
really
not
flat.
W
It's
gently
sloping
basically
from
the
Northeast
to
the
southwest,
and
we
think
we
can
take
advantage
of
that
and
and
in
effect,
have
the
off-leash
area
in
the
so-called
front
of
the
park
and
the
general
use
area
in
the
back,
separated
not
just
by
a
fence
but
also
topographically,
so
so
I
think
it
could
really
work.
I
think
to
the
advantage
of
everybody
and.
R
R
All
right,
well
I,
just
wanted
to
get
that
out
there
so
to
me,
I
think
that
this
is
really
important,
as
particularly
the
people
part.
One
of
the
things
that
we
bought
this
park
for
is
that
Newport
Hills
neighborhood
can
really
no
longer
have
their
neighborhood
picnics
because
they
can't
do
it
on
the
turf.
So
are
we
going
to
be
able
to
service
newport
Hills
neighborhood
with
this
park
as
designed
for
their
community
events?
R
Space
alrighty,
so
I
think
that's
really
important.
I
also
would
encourage,
as
we
go
through
the
process
of
doing
final
design
to
maximize
the
people.
Use
maybe
make
sure
we
have
take
a
look
at
whether
we
could
have
those
exercise
equipment
for
adult
for
adults
in
there,
which
originally
in
the
plan,
make
sure
that
the
loop
trail
is
really
safe
and
to
make
sure
that
the
people
space
is
at
least
half
you
know
no
less
than
half
of
the
space.
That's
why
my
comments
on
that?
R
The
other
thing,
I
think
is
gonna
factor
in
the
success
of
this
park
is
going
to
be
in
the
implementation,
making
sure
making
sure
that
people,
don't
just
let
their
dogs
in
the
office
area
and
go
hang
out
in
the
people
space
in
the
Overlook
I
mean
that
could
be
a
real
problem.
We
may
need
to
add
the
Ranger
to
that
location
for
some
of
the
time
and
making
sure
that
yeah
making
sure
people
clean
up
after
themselves
and
whatnot
so
I
think
enforcement
is
going
to
be
really
important.
R
So
we
can
determine
what
level
of
service
we
need
for
that
amenity
and
crank
it
into
the
plan,
because
the
reason
that
this
has
been
such
an
issue
is
they're
not
really
enough
off
leash
areas
in
the
in
the
area
to
service
the
need,
and
so
I
think.
If
we
need
to
really
look
at
that
as
part
of
the
next
fight.
Would
that
be
something
that
would
normally
go
in
or
is
that
something
you
need
council
to
direct?
It's.
V
R
P
A
unique
Park
to
put
in
Bellevue-
and
it
was
immediately
so
popular
and
I've,
seen
the
parole
process
of
going
into
communities
procuring
the
land,
making
the
plans
engaging
with
the
neighbors
and
then
creating
these
amazing
spaces.
That
Bellevue
is
really
pretty
known
for
I
would
say
even
nationally.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
excellent
work.
Thank.
W
P
I
have
a
confession
to
make:
I
was
in
the
process
of
the
Surrey
Downs
park
and
I
I.
Remember
how
tough
that
was,
and
there
were
so
many
neighbors
that
were
so
concerned
about
how
that
was
going
to
turn
out
and
when
I
saw
the
drawings
for
it.
I
just
thought
this
is
not
gonna
be
good
and
I'm
so
wrong.
J
P
Like
within
the
month
of
each
other,
completely
different
and
yet
equally
successful,
and
so
I
just
learned
from
that
that
when
you
see
something
on
paper,
you
really
can't
appreciate
it
until
it's
been
developed,
but
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
good
work
and
I'm
excited
about
this.
Park
and
I
really
want
to
thank
the
community
for
all
that
their
efforts
and
that
they're
they
attended
all
those
meetings
and
weighed
in
and
I,
definitely
see
their
input
reflected
in
this
Park.
P
W
W
O
You
Glen
because
I'm
having
been
to
all
of
the
meetings
and
listening
to
the
to
the
work,
I
really
appreciate
the
staff
and
I
especially
appreciate
I,
don't
know
if
it
was
talked
about
in
in
other
information,
but
you
took
the
time
to
actually
show
perspective
of
the
different
areas.
So
after
the
first
meeting
when
folks
were
struggling
with
well,
what
does
an
acre,
an
acre
and
a
half?
O
Look
like
I
think,
the
last
the
next
meeting
you
actually
brought
maps
that
showed
right
if
you
were
to
compare
this
area
to
Robins
way
Park
in
another
neighborhood
park.
O
Here's
what
that
size
would
look
like,
because
I
think
that
it's
helpful
to
give
that
visual
for
folks
to
get
an
idea
of
that,
and
so
I
really
appreciate
that
work
and
I
think
that
all
of
the
meetings
were
full
rooms,
so
the
ability
to
actually
engage
in
a
way
where
everyone
who
had
an
opportunity
to
be
heard
in
a
respectful
way,
I
think,
is
really
important.
So
I.
Thank
you
for
that.
I
really
like
where
this
has
ended
up.
O
W
O
Cuz,
when
councilman
Robinson
was
talking
about
crossroads,
Park
I
when
I
was
there
recently
I
noticed
the
mayor
go
around
now
is
is
universal
right.
Accessibility,
which
I
like
I,
would
also
echo
the
the
exercise,
equipment
for
adults
and
seniors.
I.
Think
that
you
know
if
our
budget
can
fit
some
modest
stations.
I
think
that
would
be
a
good
thing
as
I
and
I
also
like
the
idea
of
starting
that
to
look
at
at
off-leash
areas,
I
think
we
have
more
and
more
population,
more
dogs
I,
understand
amazon.
M
Know
anything
to
do
with
construction,
you're
involved
and
a
speed.
If
you
were
here
talk
to
the
economic
development
consultant,
you
know
we
talked
about
how
lucky
we
are.
You
know
you
and
we
talk
about
people
or
entities
and
one
thing
I
did
not
to
say
that
we
did
not
mention
dogs,
dogs
are
man's
best
friend
right,
so
I
think
they
are
part
of
our
quality
of
life
for
our
community
and
you
play
a
big
role
in
it.
M
You
know
the
things
not
just
building
something,
but
you
have
to
take
care
of
the
community,
the
people
that
don't
start
don't
want
dogs
that
enjoy
the
space
share.
The
space
well,
you're
all
involved,
we're
together,
so
I
think
it's
due
to
the
balance
and
sensitivity
our
staff
have,
and
you
know
you
you
obviously
have
gone
through
all
that
stuff.
So
the
result
has
been
you
know
very
good,
so
we've
been
fortunate
lucky
and
blaster.
We
have
such
a
great
a
you
know,
space
environment
and
all
that.
So
thank
you.
Good
luck
to
you.
K
K
There's
some
other
comebacks
of
that.
That's
okay,
we
will
miss.
You
I,
remember
very
well,
my
first
day,
I
think
on
the
parks
board
or
somewhere
close
to
that
you
took
us
up
to
what
was
going
to
be
matin
bar
park
and
it
was
a
long
time
ago
but
and
we
walked
around
and
there
was
this
one
apartment
building
that
was
there
and
I
said
well.
Gee
I
think
it's
kind
of
intruding
here.
Can't
we
buy
that.
Can
we
do
something
with
it?
You
said
just
take
it
easy.
K
We
will
one
thing
we
have
when
you
learn
in
parts.
The
one
thing
we
have
on
our
side
is
time
and
we
will
get
there.
You
know
and
I've
always
remembered
that
and
but
your
ability
to
not
only
get
these
things
done,
but
to
work
with
people
on
that
and
same
thing
with
you
know,
working
on
Surrey
downs,
Park
went
through
a
lot
with
that,
and
that
was
just
amazing.
K
K
H
H
The
city,
so
thank
you
so
much
and
really
appreciate
the
hard
work
at
the
parks
board
on
this
too
or
those
well
a
lot
of
good,
robust
discussion
and
really
appreciate
it,
because
it
sounds
like
the
process
worked
and
and
I'd
love
to
hear
that
great,
robust
discussion
at
boards
and
commissions,
as
well
as
the
Newport
Hills
community
I,
think
it
was
really
important
and
it
sounds
like
you
did.
A
lot
of
robust
outreach.
I
really
appreciate
that
as
well.
Well,
I
had
one
question
regarding
this
community
involvement.
W
W
H
W
H
W
H
Okay,
well,
I
too,
would
be
interested
in
saying
kind
of
what
our
kind
of
our
master
plan
is
for
off-leash
areas
in
this
in
the
city.
I
think
this
is
gonna,
be
the
second
one
right
next
to
a
second
park.
So
you
know,
is
there
plans?
Where
else
do
we
need
off-leash
park
areas?
Come
early
said
you
know
man's
best
friend,
then
we
are
saying
more
people
with
dogs,
so
I
think
it's
important
quality
of
life
issues
so
I
think
that
would
be
interesting.
H
A
Thanks
Glen,
if
it
was
nice
to
be
able
to
chat
a
little
bit
this
morning
in
the
mayor's
meeting,
you've
done
remarkable
work
and
left
a
great
imprint
on
the
city.
The
planning
process
used
for
this.
This
was
short
of
a
master
plan
process.
So
can
you
explain
very
quickly
a
little
bit
of
the
difference
between
those
two
and
why
this
was
used
and
where
else
we've
used
these
the.
W
Outreach
for
this
is
not
dissimilar
to
a
master
plan,
although
because
this
is
a
neighborhood
park,
I
would
say
the
best
comparison
of
this
would
be
the
bridle
trails
park
that
we
did
just
a
couple
of
years
ago.
The
corner
park,
the
corner
very
similar
in
the
process
and
the
process
of
very
similar
community
meetings.
Similar
outreach,
similar.
W
Participation
similar
process
with
the
park
board
and
the
council.
What
we
try
to
do
here
that
differs
from
like
a
large
master
plan
and
I'll
use
some
master
plan.
Comparisons
would
be
downtown,
Park,
Maiden
Bower,
they
would
be
a
master
plan.
Crossroads
Park
would
be
a
master
plan.
We
would
employ
master
plans
when
we
knit,
when
we
suspect
or
know,
for
a
fact
that
this
is
going
to
be
a
long
term
project,
multiple
phases,
multiple
budgets,
downtown
Park.
W
They'll
have
knowledge
of
what
our
vision
is
for
the
whole
site
indicate,
and
so
therefore,
that's
the
beauty
of
a
master
plan
and
a
full
environmental
review
during
the
planning
process.
In
this
case,
we'll
do
an
environmental
review
as
part
of
the
project,
a
project,
the
actual
design
and
therefore
we
want
to.
We
want
to
move
quickly
into
design,
so
we
can
actually
I'm
a
park
sooner
rather
than
later.
W
Knowing
that
we
can-
and
it's
like
I
said
one
stop,
and
let's
and
and
there
there
is
no
multiple
phases
in
multiple
budget
years
and
and
we've
found
that
to
be
successful
and
frankly,
to
do
a
full
on
master
plan
with
SEPA
is
frankly
pretty
frustrating
for
the
community
they
go.
Why
are
you
doing
this?
Why
is
it
taking
it's
already
taken
longer
than
we
thought
it
should?
W
Why
would
you
have
to
spend
another
six
to
twelve
months
going
through
a
you
know,
another
planning
level
SEPA,
so
we've
used
this
pretty
effectively
and
and
I
think
the
community
has
endorsed
moving
moving
quickly
on
this.
So
that's
debt,
so
I
would
say.
Bridle
trails
is
probably
the
the
best
example
of
the
most
more
recent
history:
okay,.
A
No
one
process
is
ever
completely
alike.
Right.
Correct,
yes,
been
through
a
number
of
these,
the
connection
by
trail
to
a
hundred
and
sixteenth
Avenue
southeast,
specifically
for
the
residents
along
there.
How
do
they
feel
about
that
and
the
need
for
it,
I
presume,
is
because
it's
a
long
way
to
go
around
to
get
it.
W
Would
be
a
long
way
to
go
around
the
school
site,
but
we've
got
approval
from
the
school
district
to
formalize
that
trail.
We
have
not
only
no
pushback
from
the
residents
along
there,
but
we
had
strong
endorsement
from
the
community
for
loop
trails
and
multiple
access
points,
and
so
there
there
was.
There
was
support
for
that.
Okay,
well,.
A
I
would
agree
with
the
the
need
to
take
a
look
for
more
dog
centric
areas
of
could
be
off,
leash
could
be
on
leash
kind
of
how
that
would
balance
out
right
now.
Part
of
the
downtown
on
leash
dog
area
or
dog
use
is
my
parking
strip
and
so
I
get
out
there
before
I
mow
so
and
I
think
that
that
is
that
it
is
something
that's
missing.
A
There's
one
thing
at
one
point:
I
really
do
want
to
make
and
I
think
you
were
really
clear
about
talking
about
having
a
general
use
area
and
an
Ola
100%
of
this
park
is
a
people
park
mm-hmm.
We
don't
build
parks
for
dogs,
because
there
are
very
few
that
are
going
to
wander
down
there
on
their
own
open
up
the
gate
go
in
chase
the
ball
around,
reopen
the
gate
and
wander
home
well,.
W
I'm,
not
a
dog
owner,
so
I'll
be
I'll,
be
the
first
to
admit,
but
one
of
the
things
I've
learned
through
this
process
and
others
is
that
this
is
as
much
a
social
area
for
humans
and
for
dog
owners
as
it
is
for
the
dogs,
dogs,
love,
it
yes,
but
so
do
the
dog
owners
right.
It's
it's
truly
a
social
place.
A
I
I
would
agree
with
you,
I
guess,
as
the
owner
of
nine
pounds
of
fury
I.
Can
it
say
that
that's
that
darn
thing
can
figure
out
how
to
open
up
gates
I
know,
and
it
can't
be
because
I
left
them
unlocked.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
work.
I
think
we
look
forward
to
seeing
this
go
forward.
I
really
look
forward
to
this
opening
in
November
and
I'd
be
happy
to
come
up
there
and
stand
way
in
the
background.
November
ish.
R
W
A
So
we're
now
going
to
recess
into
executive
session.
The
council's
added
this
executive
session
at
the
end
of
the
study
session
do
addressable.
One
matter
of
potential
litigation.
Executive
session
is
pursuant
to
our
CW
42:31
ten
sub
one
sub
I
executive
session
will
last
approximately
15
minutes,
hopefully
ten,
so
that
we
have
five
minutes
before
we
start
up
at
8
o'clock.
Thank
you.
G
A
L
A
So
we
have
a
couple
of
changes
to
make
on
the
agenda
for
tonight.
We
do
want
to
add
one
item
under
the
city
manager's
report
that
will
relate
to
item
8
G,
which
is
the
ami
contract
amendment
I'd
also
like
us
to
move
item
10a
to
the
end
of
the
meeting,
and
that
will
allow
council
member
Robertson
who
is
recused
from
that
to
be
able
to
head
home
early
or
do
whatever
else
she
happens
to
want
to
do
so.
P
A
And
seconded,
to
approve
the
amended
agenda,
all
in
favor,
say
aye
aye
any
opposed
the
motion
carries.
We
are
ready
for
communication
written
and
oral.
You
have
three
minutes
to
speak
to
the
City
Council
if
you
are
unfamiliar
with
speaking
to
the
council.
Just
come
down
to
the
front,
give
us
your
name
and
address,
but
the
green
light
comes
on
you're
on
the
timer.
The
three
minutes
we'll
continue
you'll
be
able
to
see
the
yellow
light
at
one
minute
and
when
the
red
light
comes
on,
we
ask
that
you
end
at
that
point
in
time.
A
X
24
4
760,
first
Avenue
Northeast
that'd
be
Washington.
Do
you
can
see
any
members
I
just
wanted
to
follow
up
on
our
November
4th
2d
session?
Regarding
the
comprehensive
plan
amendment
process
now,
I
saw
three
nine,
six,
four,
nine
five,
six,
four,
nine
five
doing
that
the
study
session
Council
deviated
from
the
staff
and
Planning
Commission
recommendation
and
introduced
Atlas
effective
proposal
when
talking
about
repeated
CPI
applications,
resonance
and
attorneys
representing
the
developers,
testified
during
the
Planning
Commission
public
hearing
and
all
were
in
favor
of
the
staff
recommendation,
including
the
two-year
application
limit.
X
We
believe
there's
no
basis
for
concerns
raised
during
the
City
Council
study
session.
The
current
probe
process
already
has
a
three
year
limit:
a
two-year
application
limit
as
well.
So
the
goal
of
the
process
change
is
to
close
that
loophole.
That
allows
applications
to
withdraw
their
application
before
council
vote
and
those
allow
them
to
tweak
it
and
repeat
that
application
note
that
35%
of
the
applications
in
this
CPA
were
withdrawn
by
the
applicant
before
the
decision
was
made.
Cpi
is
CPAs
are
requests
that
change
the
city.
X
X
The
upper
timer
that
you
see
on
that
on
that
piece
of
paper
shows
the
11
repeated
CPA
applications
since
2008
CPA
data
indicates
that
if
you
retroactively
li
apply
the
two-year
limitation
that
it
has
been
proposed
by
seat
by
the
council,
you
will
only
have
prevented
two
applications
in
the
last
12
years.
Therefore,
the
current
proposal
to
have
a
two-year
ban
will
only
rep
gratify
the
status
quo
and
will
not
have
a
day
any
meaningful
impact.
X
On
the
contrary,
if
you
apply
the
three-year
a
proposed
initial
proposed
application,
you
would
see
that
you
would
actually
have
the
intended
effect
and
you
would
have
prevented
five
of
the
repeated
applications.
I
hope
this
data
clarifies
that
there
is
there's
no
reason
to
be
concerned
about
a
too
restrictive
of
a
process.
If
you
apply
this
these
3-year
limitation,
so
we
respectfully
ask
you
to
reconsider
that
3-year
limitation,
as
proposed
by
the
staff
and
underlined
unanimously
recommended
by
the
Planning
Commission.
Once
again,
we
driven
by
their
vision
the
data
and
not
by
fear.
Thank
you.

Mont,
Boulevard,
southeast
Bellevue
I'm
here
just
to
express
my
opposition
to
the
park
point
Planned
Unit
development
filed
number
one,
nine
one,
two
one
one:
zero
nine
ll
I've
lived
at
our
address,
my
wife
not
dead
at
our
address
for
over
35
years
now
this
proposed
land
use.
Pud
is
going
to
be
developed
on
approximately
eight
point.
Three
acres
and
I
oppose
it
for
several
different
reasons.
Q
Q
About
it
was
in
the
early
90s,
a
company
by
the
name
of
quadrant,
tried
to
develop
the
property
director
behind
us,
which
is
directly
across
the
street
from
the
proposed
development,
and
they
ran
into
the
coal
mine.
Shafts
were
so
close
to
the
surface
of
the
so
close
to
the
surface
they
weren't
able
to
develop
on
top
of
the
coal
mine
shafts
also
ran
into
an
awful
lot
of
coal
of
stream
corridors
wetlands,
in
other
words,
and
they
tried
cluster
development.
As
this
is
this,
my
solo
homes
is
also
proposing.
Q
Finally,
after
five
years
of
trying
to
develop
this
property,
they
pulled
out
and
sold
to
Keene
County
Park
System,
which
is
now
the
King
County
original
wild
Land
Park.
Also,
you
know,
there's
an
inn
for
our
area.
There's
no
other
property
like
this
around.
It's
probably
the
last
undeveloped
piece
of
property.
It's
located
very
close
to
the
Bellevue.
Q
It's
it's.
The
coal
creek
Bellevue
parks,
which
is
which
is
going
to
be
right
behind
this
proposed
development
and
also
across
the
street,
is
the
Cougar
Mountain
wildland,
Regional
and
park,
and
so
having
they're,
proposing
35
houses
to
be
put
on
8.3
acres.
So
that's
just
really
going
to
destroy
the
whole.
You
know
the
whole
feel
of
this
area
is
being
wild
and
and
scenic,
and
also
once
the
historical
values
is
is,
is
destroyed.
Then
that
part
of
our
history
goes
away.
You.
Q
Know
it's
also.
One
of
our
great
concerns
is
the
fact
that
there's
no
water
or
sewer
down
there,
we're
all
on
septic
and
and
our
well,
which
supplies
three
houses
on
our
side
of
the
road
is
going
to
be
within
200
feet
of
this
proposed
development.
So
we're
very
concerned
once
they
start
moving
soil
around
how
it's
going
to
affect
our
well.
So
thank
you
for
listening
great.
D
Y
I'm
Dana
caddy
I
live
with
me,
Randy
the
same
seven
to
forty
two
and
I'm
opposed
for
the
same
reasons.
This
this
property
is
very
small
but
critical
for
a
while.
Y
Y
Y
Y
O
Q
J
Good
evening
Council,
my
name
is
Heidi.
Dean
I
live
at
one
one,
six,
six
one
southeast
56th
Street
in
Newport,
Hills
and
I
bet
you
thought.
I
was
gonna
talk
about
the
park,
planning
process
and
I'll
just
email
you
about
I
do
want
to
point
out,
though,
that
on
your
website
it
does
say
that
bridle
trails
went
through
a
master
planning
process
so
which
that
they
said
in
this
study
session
that
they
didn't.
What
I
did
want
to
say
was.
J
J
You
know:
I'd
been
there
for
the
first
update
this
year,
where
they,
mr.
Candido
and
mrs.
Marsh
I,
talked
about
they'd
gone
to
different.
Well,
I.
Don't
want
to
call
him
a
convention,
but
they'd
been
to
different
things
throughout
the
United
States
and
one
of
them
had
been
for
shopping,
centers
and
I.
Remember
sitting
in
the
audience
thinking
did
you
ask
about
Newport
Hills?
J
Did
you
look
to
see
if
there
was
any
anybody
there
that
could
you
know
address
Newport
Hills
that
might
be
interested
in
us
and
I
didn't
hear
anything,
but
what
I
heard
tonight
I
was
really
happy
with
I
liked
their
number
to
focus
on
explore
opportunities
to
support
small
business
and
their
number
three
support
more
robust
retail
activity
and
I,
also
like
the
council's
objectives
about
retaining
the
verse
local
business
and
supporting
the
retail
activity.
Because
and
councilmember
Robertson
made
the
point
about
what
you
know
as
we
become.
J
We
start
to
get
more
of
these
large
businesses
in
we're,
seeing
the
loss
of
small
businesses,
essential
services
and
I've
often
wondered
it's
very
exciting.
Let's
take,
for
example,
bell
red
corridor.
What's
gonna
happen
to
all
of
those
small
businesses?
Where
are
they
going
to
go?
What
are
we
going
to
do
about
that
so
I'm,
hoping
that
as
we
look
at
economic
development,
we
start
to
think
about
that.
J
But
I
was
also
really
glad
to
hear
about
the
thinking
about
diversifying
with
tech,
because
I
don't
know
how
many
of
you
know
my
household
is
run
on
tech
money,
my
husband's
a
software
engineer,
hence
my
email
name,
but
it's
really
scary.
When
that
tech
boom
busts
we've
been
through
it,
and
so
one
of
the
things
that
I
don't
see
here
in
Bellevue
is
medical
technology.
My
husband
works
for
Stryker,
which
they
do
different
pair
leaders.
J
A
You
I
believe
that
is
the
end
of
the
yeah.
That's
the
end
of
those
who
have
signed
up.
Is
there
anybody
else?
Who
wishes
to
speak
to
the
council
tonight
on
this
we
do
have
a
public
hearing
and
someone
is
signed
up
to
speak
on
that,
okay,
seeing
none
we
will
continue
on
to.
We
do
not
have
reports
of
community
councils
boards
and
commissions
report
of
the
city
manager.
We
did
add
on
the
agenda
some
information
regarding
the
ami
contract,
which
is
on
the
consent
agenda
for
tonight.
B
And
council
members,
as
you
mentioned,
we
do
have
one
item
at
a
the
managers
report
related
to
an
update
on
the
ami
contracting
process.
This
item,
as
you
mentioned,
is
HU
and
currently
on
your
consent.
Calendar
joining
us
this
evening
is
novel,
Topher,
Mohr
utilities,
department
and
joining
her
is
Brian
Bartles,
the
utilities
deputy
director
for
dye.
Just
with
that
update,
thank.
Z
You
thank
you
mister
Miyake,
good
evening,
mayor
Domenic,
council
members,
as
mr.
miacca
mentioned,
when
you
have
a
contract
amendment
on
the
consent
agenda
for
advanced
metering
infrastructure,
also
known-
as
am
I
so.
This
is
not
a
new
project.
It
was
a
partner
project
that
you
approved
in
the
2017-18
budget
and
in
December
of
2018.
Z
You
proved
a
contract
with
Itron
our
vendor
of
choice.
So
over
the
last
several
months
we
have
been
working
with
Itron
to
work
out
the
details
of
that
implementation.
In
that
process,
we've
learned
that
both
the
project
costs
and
the
project
schedule
will
need
to
be
adjusted
largely
due
to
the
expanded
scope
of
the
communications
network,
that's
needed
to
implement
ami
and
the
permit
requirements
for
installing
that
network.
Given
these
new
developments,
this
was
an
opportunity
for
staff
and
Itron
to
look
at
alternative
to
alternatives,
to
building
that
new
network.
Z
Can
you
new
communications
network,
and
so
one
of
the
technologies
we
looked
at
was
the
cellular
technology.
So
at
this
point
we
had
two
paths
in
front
of
us.
One
was
continue
with
installing
our
own
communications
network
technology
that
was
originally
anticipated
in
the
EMI
contract.
This
requires
that
city
and
Itron
to
build
and
operate
and
maintain
a
private
communication
network
across
the
city
because
of
the
topography
of
our
city.
Z
The
number
of
pole
mounted
collectors
acquired
in
order
for
the
network
to
be
effective,
would
increase
from
39
that
we
had
included
in
the
contract
to
more
than
56.
So
this
this
was
going
to
require
and
an
amendment
to
the
contract
and
would
increase
the
contract
from
twenty
point.
Two
to
twenty
one
point:
seven
now
that
does
include
half
a
million
dollars
in
contingency
which
we
really
should
have
included
in
the
contract.
Z
To
begin
with,
given
that
this
is
a
per
unit
contracts
or
any
additional
units,
any
additional
meters
added
would
increase
the
cost
of
the
contract.
So
another
option
in
front
of
us
was
to
employ
existing
cellular
communications
for
EMI.
The
use
of
cellular
technology
was
evaluated
when
we
did
the
original
business
case
analysis,
but
it
wasn't
considered
cost-effective
at
that
time.
Z
So
the
contract
with
Itron
would
need
to
be
adjusted
from
twenty
point,
two
million
to
twenty-one
point,
1
million
for
cellular
option,
and
that
also
includes
a
half
a
million
dollars
in
contingency
this.
This
is
still
about
six
hundred
thousand
less
than
option.
One
proceeding
with
the
original
plan
of
building
our
own
communications
network,
so
bottom
line.
Either
option
requires
a
contract
amendment
to
increase
the
contract
amount.
Z
Both
options
will
have
a
positive
net
present
value
and
that
was
anticipated
in
the
original
business
case
analysis,
and
it
will
be
more
cost
effective
than
continuing
with
our
current
manually
meter
reading
operations,
and
definitely
it
will
enhance
customer
functionality
and
value.
We
have
briefed
our
Environmental
Services
Commission
a
couple
of
times,
most
recently
recently
in
November
on
these
developments.
Z
So
right
now
the
contract
amendment
you
have
in
front
of
you
is
includes
option
to
you.
The
use
of
cellular
technology
like
I,
said
it's
cheaper
than
option
one
and
is
forward
compatible
technology,
and
it
does
not
require
the
city
to
build
and
maintain
net
network
devices
on
street
poles
installed
throughout
our
service
area.
With
this
in
mind,
that's
you
have
any
of
my
contract
amendment.
You
know
in
the
on
the
consent
agenda
for
tonight.
Okay,.
A
H
First
of
all,
I
think
it's
really
great
work
on
behalf
of
staff
to
to
see
this
and
being
able
to
to
shift
when
this
technology
had
advanced,
and
this
was
a
better
option
for
the
city.
Also
really
appreciate
the
great
work
that
the
Environmental
Services
Commission
did.
They
really
took
a
deep
dive,
taking
a
look
at
the
the
the
you
know,
the
the
positives
and
the
drawbacks
as
they
were
presented
and
and
Emily
took
a
deep
dive
and
really
appreciate
them
signing
off
on
this
as
well.
H
But,
as
was
just
demonstrated
for
to
us
and
and
excuse
me
and
just
said
to
us,
it
really
doesn't
make
sense.
I
mean
the
fact
that
we
no
longer
have
to
build,
operate
and
maintain
that
Network
anymore.
There
will
be
cost
savings
around
that
it's
gonna
be
less
impact
to
the
community,
no
network,
pole,
construction,
no
visual,
clutter,
no
collectors
attached
to
poles
I'm,
certainly
think
residents
will
be
appreciative
of
that,
so
no
longer
coordinating
and
having
to
install
on
PSC
poles
as
well.
H
So
and
this
cellular
technologies
are
the
next
iteration
of
the
the
Riva
technology
and
software
which
has
already
been
purchased.
So
it's
for
two
compatible
with
future
cell
iteration
generations
as
well.
So
this
is
not
something
that
we're
going
to
have
to
replace
and
then
the
anytime
soon
and
then
the
big
piece
about
the
batteries
now
having
a
20-year
that
right
and
I'm
sorry
20
year
life.
So
this
really
makes
sense
on
multiple
different
levels
and
I
really
appreciate
staff.
O
I
was
just
interested
in
making
sure
that
we
actually
highlighted
the
fact
that
we,
we
shifted
gears
and
we've
come
up
with
this
better
solution.
It
seemed
to
warrant
more
than
just
a
vote
in
the
consent,
calendar
and
so
I
appreciated
hearing
from
you,
as
well
as
councilmember
new
in-house.
Thank
you
any.
M
You
mr.
Mia
I'm
really
glad
to
hear
the
liaison
council
member
the
new
one
house.
You
know
having
to
say
that
this
is
improved,
a
better
alternative
when
I
look
at
this
I,
of
course,
not
knowing
what,
in
turn
out
of
the
technology,
I
thought
that
you
know
the
original
design
was
based
on
new
technology,
and
so
we
were
moving
forward
on
the
new
technology,
but
for
some
reason
the
Nutella
technology
is
proven
not
to
be
practical.
M
As
a
result,
we
are
moving
back
to
the
old
technology
and
because
it
was
a
practical
feasible
now
because
then
we
are
getting
more
battery
life
and
other
attributes.
At
the
same
time,
it
has
all
the
things
that
consumer
has
mentioned,
which
is
a
good
good
thing
to
do.
Also
I'm
concern
is
what
happens
in
the
new
technology.
Are
we
forgoing
some
of
the
technology
advantages
that
we
may
want
to
get
to
invention
in
the
future,
or
what
or
is
that
going
to
be,
not
even
something
that
would
be
appropriate?
M
Z
Z
It
was
a
actually
cellular
technology
has
been
in
play
for
a
while,
and
Itron
itself
has
I
think
about
300
million
connections
that
3
million
sorry
not
to
intermediate
3
million
on
cellular.
But
what
was
not
in
play
was
a
20
year
life.
Up
until
now,
it
was
a
useful
life
force
from
10
for
for
battery
life
was
about
10
years.
So
now,
what?
What
has
is
that
now
you
have
battery
life
last
life
lasting
20
years,
and
and
and
that's
what
makes
it
economic
analogous.
Z
M
A
Else.
Okay.
Thank
you
very.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
briefing
thank
you
for
bringing
this
up
council
members
on,
so
that
we
could
have
a
little
more
explanation
of
it.
We
will
know-
and
that's
that's
the
last.
We
don't
have
anything
else
under
the
report.
Okay,
we're
gonna
move
now
to
council
business
and
new
initiatives.
Both
council
member
lee
and
council
members
on
have
been
asked
to
be
recognized
for
a
maybe
less
than
two
minutes
to
talk
about
two
different
recognitions
council
member
lee.
Thank.
M
N
M
Well,
after
40
years
of
service
and
beside
being
a
first-class
weatherman,
very
professional,
he
has
been
a
tremendous
citizen
for
our
community
he's
been
involved
with
contributing
and
seeing
many
many
community
causes
charities
and
yes,
our
events
and
so
on.
So
I
think
we
just
want
to
recognize.
Oh,
is
40
years
of
service.
I
want
to
extend
our
gratitude
to
him
and
wish
him
very,
very
great
and
enjoyable
retirement,
I.
O
Wanted
to
know
that
the
sea
house
came
today,
they
were
giving
recognition
to
the
Chinese
Americans
who
served
in
World
War
two,
and
that
was
something
that
earlier
in
the
year,
councilmember
Lee
had
worked
on
getting
a
proclamation,
and
so
since
we're
here
instead
of
at
the
game,
I
thought
I
would
bring
that
up,
because
I
think
it's
important
to
acknowledge
our
veterans,
who
aren't
always
acknowledged.
That's
it
great.
A
P
A
And
seconded,
to
approve
the
consent,
calendar
all
in
favor,
say
aye
aye
any
opposed
the
consent
calendar
is
approved.
We
now
have
a
public
hearing,
and
yet
just
had
to
do
this
put
another
easement
on
the
on
the
agenda.
Just
for
me,
I
appreciate
it
and
this
one
isn't
even
in
Bellevue
it's
down
in
Medina,
I
think
I'm
doing
the
address
is
correct,
so
we
will
we'll
have
a
staff
report
on
this.
U
Tonight's
public
hearing
is
to
allow
the
public
an
opportunity
to
comment
on
this
release:
the
property
owner
of
8
for
1
in
8
4
to
6
they
own,
both
Lots.
They
are
building
a
tennis
court
on
the
lot
8
for
1/8
the
upper
lot
and
there's
a
an
existing
sewer
easement
that
goes
right
across
this
property.
Also,
it
serves
two
properties
above
this
property.
U
The
property
owner
has
installed
a
new
side
sewer
to
replace
this
one
and
has
removed
the
old
one.
A
new
private
sewer
easement
has
been
executed
and
recorded,
and
the
2
sewer
easement
shown
in
red,
which
it's
very
hard
to
see.
It's
the
one
that
goes
right
across
the
middle
of
the
properties.
Those
are
no
longer
needed.
U
P
A
Moved
and
seconded
to
open
the
public
hearing,
all
in
favor,
say
aye
aye
any
opposed
the
motion
carries
and
the
public
hearing
is
open
with
the
clerk.
Please
call
the
individual
who
has
signed
up
to
speak
and
again.
You'll
have
three
minutes
to
speak.
I
am
really
going
to
guess.
This
is
a
person
who
hasn't
been
here
before,
but
that
may
not
be
the
case
so
come
to
the
to
the
podium.
N
Ben
thorne
I'm
here
to
represent
the
Symone.
It's
not
only
about
8710
over
Lake
Drive
West
in
Medina
I'm,
the
state
manager
and
facilities
manager
for
the
Simonis
and
I
was
just
here
to
there's
another
hearing
and
see
if
there
are
any
comments,
and
so
that
I
could
explain
what
we're
doing
and
if
I
need
to
elaborate
on
the
on
the
easement.
But
it
seems
like
it's
all
all
in
order.
N
A
P
A
M
U
M
U
Difference
is
the
property
that's
being
redeveloped
work
up
there.
They,
where
the
existing
easement
is
at
that's
where
they're
putting
their
tennis
court,
and
they
can't
put
anything
on
the
surface
where
there's
an
easement,
because
you
wouldn't
be
able
to
access
the
line
and
so
they've
rerouted
it
around
the
outside
of
the
property.
U
P
U
U
G
A
P
P

A
A
A
So
we
do
appreciate
that
we
like
to
hear
that
we
are
going
to
move
item
10a
to
the
end
of
the
meeting,
which
is
the
ordinance
that
relates
to
the
South
Bellevue
segment
of
the
energized
Eastside
project,
and
then
we're
going
to
right
now
handle
the
other
ordinances
resolutions
and
motions,
and
these
are
for
the
most
part
they
are
adopting
the
budget.
What
I
would
hope
we
can
do
I
know
at
least
a
couple
of
members
want
to
speak
to
some
of
the
items.
A
B
This
is
related
to
the
2019
2020
mid
biennium
budget,
and
here
this
even
to
give
us
some
highlights
of
each
one
of
the
ordinances
is
Tony
call
our
director
of
our
finance
in
the
asset
management
department
and,
as
you
mentioned
once,
she
gives
that
overall
presentation
then
we'll
be
asking
the
council
to
take
action
on
each
one
of
the
six
ordinances
related
to
the
buying
budget.
Tony.
AA
May
our
deputy
mayor
councilmembers,
it's
a
pleasure
back
here
this
evening.
You
do
have
six
actions
before
you
in
order
to
adopt
a
mid
biennium.
The
first
three
of
the
ordinance
in
front
of
you
are
all
fee:
related
development
services,
fee
update
fare
inspection,
fee,
update
and
transportation
impact
fee
update,
Development
Services
is
before
you
with
director
Brennan
on
November
4th
chief
Hagen
and
Fire
Fire,
Marshal,
Ken
Carl
somewhere
here
on
November
12th
and
then
on
November
18th,
as
well
as
November
25th,
director
single
aqus
and
eric
miller,
we're
here
to
discuss
transportation
impact
fees.
AA
In
order
to
adopt
a
budget
you
still,
you
will
need
to
set
the
property
tax
levy
amount
for
2020,
and
so
the
next
two
actions
after
the
first
three
for
fees
are
all
in
the
property
tax
ordinance,
64
92
will
set
the
property
tax
levy
amount
for
2020,
and
it
does
include
a
1%
adjustment
that
1%
adjustment
will
cost
a
homeowner
of
a
nine
hundred.
Thirty
six
thousand
dollar
median
home,
approximately
eight
dollars
annually.
AA
The
rate
will
actually
decrease
from
92
cents
to
90
cents
in
2020.
With
that
increase,
the
resolution
9700
is
banking.
The
excess
property
tax
that's
available
at
the
county
and
then
the
final
ordinance
before
you
is
ordinance
64
93,
which
is
actually
what
we
can.
We
consider
the
umbrella
ordinance
and
it
will
appropriate
the
2019
2020
mid
biennium
by
fun.
It
also
modifies
the
2019
2005
CIP
plan
and
the
pay
plans
for
2020.
As
a
reminder,
the
mid
buy
adjustments
are
primarily
technical
in
nature.
AA
It
adjusts
personnel
costs,
corrects
errors
adapts
the
impact
from
the
state
legislature
for
new
resources
for
affordable
housing.
It
makes
a
mix
light
increases
in
police
to
personnel,
it
adjusts
for
Bellevue's
portion
of
to
personnel
for
art,
which
is
the
Coalition
for
Regional
Housing,
and
it
adds
six
personnel
to
development
services
to
address
continued
demand
for
urbanization
and
growth,
and
so
there
are
six
actions
before
you
to
in
order
to
adopt
the
mid
buy
with
that
mayor.
I'll
turn
it
back
over
to
you.
Thank.
A
You
I
know
last
week,
council
member
Lee
mentioned
that
he
might
wish
to
speak
to
the
ordinance
that
sets
the
property
tax.
That's
sixty
four.
Ninety
two
so
I
would
allow
him
to
speak
to
that.
Others
may
also
wish
to
speak
to
that
I.
Don't
know.
I
may
wish
to
speak
to
that
after
mr.
Lee
are
there?
Is
there
anyone
we
had
quite
the
robust
discussion
about
the
impact
fees.
A
Is
there
anyone
who
wants
to
do
anything
with
that
I
am
see
or
speak
to
it,
I'm,
seeing
none
any
of
the
other
ones
other
than
potentially
the
adoption
of
the
mid
by
that
people
wish
to
speak
to
or
offer
amendments
I
am
seeing
none.
So,
let's
begin,
the
first
ordinance
is
the
ordinance
regarding
development
services,
development
service
fees.
We've
had
a
number
of
briefings
on
this.
These
fees
are
being
adjusted
consistent
with
what
we
have
done
over
the
past
several
years.
So
I
would
entertain
a
motion
for
adopting
ordinance
six
four,
eight
nine
I.
A
V
A
A
Moved
and
seconded
to
approve
ordinance
649.
Oh
I
am
not
seeing
any
one
who
wishes
to
discuss
that
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye,
any
opposed,
say
no
motion
carries
on
a
unanimous
seven
to
nothing
vote
we're
at
ordinance,
six,
four,
nine
one.
This
is
one
that
approves
the
2020
transportation
impact
fee
rate
schedules
and
I
would
entertain
a
motion
to
place
that
before
us.
A
And
seconded
to
past
six,
four
nine
one
again,
no
one
seems
wishes
to
speak
specifically
to
this
ordinance.
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
opposed.
The
motion
carries
on
a
7
to
nothing
vote
we're
at
Orden
at
six.
Four
nine
to
this
ordinance
establishes
the
amount
of
property
taxes
to
be
levied
for
the
year
2020.
The
second
year
of
the
city
of
Bellevue's,
2019,
2020,
fiscal,
biennium,
I'm.
W
M
Thank
you
and
members,
as
I
have
been
speaking
against
a
property
tax
increase
without
specific
reason,
with
specific
purpose
designated
with
voter
approval,
because
I
believe
that
you
know
our
property
tax
burden
has
been
increasing,
has
been,
you
know
quite
quite
substantially,
and
we
have
actually
being
able
to
keep
up
with
our
need
for
revenue
by
having
the
property
tax
values
going
up.
So
our
percentage
property
tax
nut
tax,
the
tax
itself
to
revenue
in
January,
it's
actually
increasing
without
having
to
increase
on
the
percentage
of
the
the
tax
rate.
M
That's
one
thing
I
would
want
to
be
sure
that
we
understand
that
I
don't
want
to
get
into
the
custom
that
well
we
allow
to
increase
tax
by
1%
by
law.
As
a
result,
we
automatically
increase
it.
I
know
this
is
not
the
case
here.
We've
tried
to
justify
it
and
I
believe
the
staff
has
done
a
great
job
and
we
believe
that
taxes
too,
to
make
sure
that
we
keep
up
with
the
reserve
that
we
have
established
as
a
go
and
but
it's
sometime
in
the
future.
So
I
have
some
number
two
reasons.
M
M
Need
for
spending
the
management?
Second
I
want
to
be
sure
that
we
have
a
discussion
that
any
tax
increase
doesn't
just
automatically
get
passed,
but
we
have
a
understanding
reason
for
some.
You
know,
from
my
perspective,
have
opportunity
to
speak
on
this
subject
so
which
I've
done
that
so
I
would
continue.
My
my
while
I
say
my
not
voting
for
the
property
tax
increase
of
1%
for
the
reason
I
stayed.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
R
You
I
appreciate
my
colleague
account
separately
and
always
being
the
budget
hawk
and
looking
out,
but
in
this
case
I
have
to
respectfully
disagree.
The
city
has
been
very
responsible
about
our
budgeting
and
about
our
tax
levies.
It's
so
much
so
in
fact
that
we
have
ordinance
or
resolution
9700
were
banking
levy
capacity
of
almost
million
dollars,
that's
nine
million
dollars
that
we
could
raise
taxes
and
it
would
go
forward
every
year
every
year.
R
That's
how
often
we
have
not
raised
taxes
to
the
maximum
extent
allowed
by
law,
because
we
really
do
care
about
making
sure
that
we're
fiscally
responsible.
We
have
needs,
particularly
in
our
public
safety,
to
add
police
officers
and
to
plan
for
bringing
fire
station
ten
on
line
and
when
you
look
at
the
out-years
on
revenues
expected
to
come
in
and
expenses.
Even
if
we
don't
add
a
single
new
government
service
to
our
growing
city,
we're
gonna
the
revenues.
R
The
expenses
will
outpace
revenues
in
a
couple
of
years,
and
this
is
one
way
to
make
sure
that
we
continue
to
build
towards
that
future.
I
would
also
point
out
that
I
just
looked
up
the
Consumer
Price
Index
for
the
Seattle
area
and
over
the
last
12
months
that
went
up
2.2%.
This
is
going
up
1%,
so
it's
not
even
keeping
up
inflation
because,
unlike
other
taxes,
property
taxes
don't
go
up
by
the
way
that
the
value
of
the
property
goes
up.
R
They
are
levied
at
a
set
amount
and
that
set
amount
goes
up
1%,
even
if
property
values
go
up
10%.
So
that's
why
property
taxes
have
become
an
increasingly
small
portion
of
the
revenue
that
the
city
brings
in.
Fortunately,
we
have
all
this
economic
development,
that's
bringing
in
piano
and
sales
tax
and
other
revenue,
so
the
property
taxes
can
remain
low
and
I
would
also
point
out
that,
even
with
this
increase,
our
property
tax,
millage
rate,
which
is
the
cents
per
thousand-
is
still
going
down.
R
It's
a
reduction,
it's
just
a
little
bit
smaller
of
a
reduction
than
it
would
have
been
without
the
1%,
so
I
do
support
this.
This
was
also
part
of
our
budgetary
plan
for
last
year
and
it's
part
of
making
sure
that
our
city
remains
in
good
financial
state
in
the
years
ahead.
So
I
support
it
as
a
responsible
thing
to
do.
Thank
you.
I.
A
Too,
supported
as
a
the
responsible
thing
to
do
and
I
do
want
to
make
sure
that
people
understand
what
this
goes
for.
There's
a
gentleman
in
a
white
shirt
sitting
in
the
back.
He
is
our
fire
chief.
In
a
few
years
we
will
be
opening
a
new
fire
station
that
fire,
I,
believe
will
require,
will
require
14
new
firefighters,
so
rather
than
wait
until
we
get
to
that
which
I
think
is
22
21
or
22
somewhere
in
there
so
not
too
far
away.
A
This
increase
helps
balance
off
where
we
will
flat
line
out
through
the
area
where
we
will
not
be
putting
enough
into
our
reserve.
So
I
see
this
very
much
as
related
to
public
safety.
I
also
see
it
as
very
much
related
to
good
budgeting
and
I
do
want
to
make
sure
that
people
understand
and
most
people
never
believe
this,
the
property
tax,
the
amount
of
money
that
Bellevue
collects
from
the
property
tax
does
not
increase,
because
the
assessment
has
gone
up.
A
It's
actually
a
very
simple
formula
that
that
stays
exactly
the
same
in
terms
of
the
amount
of
revenue
that
can
be
raised.
Unless
we
do
this
one
percent,
which
is
the
maximum
that
we
can
do,
what
does
add
to
the
revenue,
is
new
construction
and
I
think
the
city
is
also
always
very
vigilant
about
looking.
So
if
that
new
construction
in
the
future
is
coming
much
faster
than
we
thought
there
may
be
able
to
be
an
adjustment
that's
made.
A
However,
our
finance
director
has
also
done
a
study
that
shows
that,
if
you're
building
a
large
building
like
a
300
thousand
square
foot
office,
building
with
you
know-
maybe
some
retail
in
it
that
yes,
indeed,
that
growth
pays
for
that
growth
during
that
construction
period
and
for
a
little
while
after
that,
but
after
that,
the
services
that
are
needed
to
serve
that
use
they
go
up
and
we
need
to
provide
more
revenue.
So,
for
those
reasons,
I
will
be
voting
in
support.
Mr.
K
Just
a
couple
points
I
grieve.
My
two
colleagues
who
just
spoke
I
think
it
is
important
to
recognize
that
this
raising
of
this
tax
this
year
was
not
automatic.
It's
we're
not
in
an
automatic
pilot
on
this.
We
consider
it
very
carefully
and
we
will
always
do
that
and
I
think
that
needs
to
be
made
clear.
K
Secondly,
it
is
a
serious
matter
that
we're
looking
forward
in
the
future
revenues
at
our
current
rate,
all
different
factors,
and
we
will
reach
a
point
not
too
far
in
the
future,
where
reserves
will
go
down
and
that
has
deck
has
all
kinds
of
problems
for
the
city
and
we
can't
wait
till
we
get
there
and
then
make
it
up.
So
the
prudent
thing
is
to
do
this
very,
very
slight
increase
will
help
help.
Keep
us
on
that
trajectory.
K
A
O
Support
it
as
well
and
as
I
look
out
there
I
see
the
other
gentlemen
in
uniform,
which
one
I
think
about
fiscal
responsibility,
I
think
about
the
police
study
and
the
fact
that
we
could
have
asked
for
a
lot
more
officers
right
now
in
our
budget.
But
we
were
only
asking
for
a
couple
as
we
kind
of
assess
the
situation,
but
as
we
assess
the
situation
and
and
look
at
an
increase
in
resources,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
actually
have
the
budget
to
do
that.
O
Because
earlier
today
we
talked
about
Environmental
Design
for
crime
prevention,
and
yet
that
is
only
one
element
actually
having
people
and
resources
in
the
community
is
important
and
I
think
it's
actually
in
all
of
our
departments,
as
we
continue
to
have
more
parks
and
more
people
here
and
light
rail
coming
and
the
fire
station
that
these
are
are.
These
are
going
to
require
resources
and
I
think
that
we
need
to
be
forward-thinking
and
so
I
very
much
support
the
the
modest
1%.
A
M
A
M
It
because
that's
set
very
well
by
Councilman
Robertson.
We
have
a
lots
of
money.
Few
million
dollars
banked
it
so
we're
in
good
shape,
financially
prudent
and
we
spend
money
when
we
need
it,
and
we
that's
why
we
have
prioritizing.
We
do
priorities
when
we
get
to
it.
We
can
let
you
say
that
we
need
to
spend
money
for
the
next,
how
many
years
and
commit
to
it,
because
we
always
raise
taxes
to
do
it.
Let's.
A
Say
my
statement
and
the
only
support
is
great.
Thank
you
very
much
for
supporting
it.
I
will
speak
to
it.
Then
there's
a
misunderstanding:
there.
The
nine
million
dollars
is
not
does
not
exist.
It
is
banked
capacity.
We
would
have
to
issue
a
greater
property
tax
increase
to
be
able
to
create
that
to
be
able
to.
M
A
M
A
I
think
the
I
don't
think
there's
any
further
discussion.
The
banked
capacity
resolution
is
before
us,
9700
all
in
favor,
say
aye
aye
any
opposed.
The
motion
carries
on
a
7
to
nothing
vote.
This
now
moves
us
to
adoption
of
the
the
ordinance
that
adopts
the
modifications
to
the
2019
2020
biennial
budget
would
normally
called
the
mid,
buy
and
also
adopts
the
adjustments
to
the
capital
investment
program.
A
R
It's
just
there
are
some
important
changes,
particularly
with
regard
to
strengthening
our
public
safety,
which
is
really,
in
my
view,
our
number
one
role
as
a
community
to
make
sure
that
the
people
who
live
work
and
recreate
in
Bellevue
are
safe
and
so
I'm
supportive
of
this
mid.
By
update
for
that,
and
many
other
reasons,
thank
you
is.
A
There
anyone
else
who
wishes
to
speak
to
this
issue,
I've
pretty
much
said,
but
I
want
to
say
for
tonight,
so
anybody
else
seeing
none.
The
motion
before
us
is
the
adoption
of
the
mid
Buy,
which
is
ordinance
60,
493,
all
in
favor,
say
aye.
Any
opposed
motion
carries
on
a
7
to
nothing
vote.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you
to
staff
for
great
work
on
this
and
very
much
very
much
appreciate
the
work
and
the
briefings
and
the
public
discussion
that
we've
all
had.
Thank
you.
A
This
will
now
take
us
to
ordinance
six
four
nine
five.
This
is
an
amendment,
the
bellevue
land
use
code,
and
this
relates
to
comprehensive
plan
amendment
process.
We
had
a
discussion
at
council
recently
about
this,
the
ordinance
that
is
before
us
I'm
I'm
just
sort
of
biding
time
here,
but
I'll
turn
it
over
to
mr.
Miyake,
as
our
staff
gets
up
here.
B
A
B
Was
asked
discussed
with
Council
on
November
4th
at
the
study
session,
where
the
Planning
Commission
provided
a
recommendation
on
this
matter?
As
you
mentioned,
there
was
extensive
conversation
at
that
meeting
and
what
is
in
front
of
you
today
is
what
was
concluded
by
the
council
and
directed
to
the
staff
to
return.
This
particular
ordinance
means
to
you
tonight,
Matt
Cummins,
our
Director
of
Community
Development,
as
well
as
Nicholas
mattes
senior
planner,
who
worked
for
Mac
all
right
here
to
provide
for
their
information
about
the
provider
proposed
ordinance
as
well.
AB
O
I
did
have
a
question,
so
I
have
to
say
that
the
this
vigil
is
a
lot
nicer,
looking
than
the
one
that
I
was
scratching
on
the
back
of
a
napkin
in
looking
at
with
the
CPA
and
and
what
happens
if
we
go
from
the
three
years
that
was
recommended
by
staff
and
the
Planning
Commission
to
the
two
years.
So
I
appreciate
the
work
that
they
did
on
this
and
I
guess.
I
am
trying
to
understand.
O
When
we
go
from
the
three
to
the
two,
it
seems
to
me
that
we're
actually
going
backwards
instead
of
trying
to
close
a
gap
with
the
with
developers
that
might
put
in
something
that
is
not
well
thought-out
or
then
they
are
pulled
at
the
last
minute
before
they're
voted
on.
So
can
you
either
validate
what's
here
or
give
some
comments.
AB
Maybe
I'll
try
to
answer
the
question
as
it
relates
to
a
comment
about
possibly
going
backwards.
So
the
starting
point
for
the
quote,
unquote
three-year
waiting
period
is
further
into
the
process
than
what
you're,
considering
this
evening
this
evening,
you're
considering
starting
a
clock
of
any
kind
on
the
date
of
application
and
so
you're
actually
creating
a
waiting
period,
whereas
none
currently
exist.
AB
So
the
issue
that
has
arisen
in
the
past
is
a
would-be
applicant
makes
an
application
and
then
waits
until
the
very
last
moment,
and
then
withdraws
sometimes
up
to
four
o'clock
in
the
afternoon
on
the
date
of
a
hearing,
and
so
it's
the
council's
evaluated
that
you've
asked
staff
and
we
took
this-
the
Planning
Commission
as
well
to
evaluate
different
alternatives
to
solve
for
that
problem.
So
it's
in
front
of
you
this
evening
is
creating
the
trigger
mechanism
on
the
date
of
application,
which
starts
the
clock
and
actually
creates
that
same
waiting
period.
Okay,.
O
T
Changing
when
the
trigger
starts,
they
did
have
that
discussion
amongst
themselves
and
they
did
specifically
talk
about
different
time
periods
and
be
potential.
Economic
impacts
might
have
land-use
impacts,
neighborhood
participation
impacts,
so
I
think
they
worked
it
over,
but
in
the
end
they
decided
to
continue
with
the
3-year
limitation
understanding
that
you'd
be
moving.
The
the
trigger
point
with
the
recommendations
is
before
tea
and.
T
A
Okay,
just
in
terms
of
being
the
liaison
to
the
Planning
Commission,
there
was
also
discussion,
I
believe
that
would
have
while
they
used
the
term
three
years
it
would
have
because
they
were
doing
doing
it
in
either
even
years
or
odd
years
would
be
the
only
time
that
there
actually
was
one
that
would
effectively
have
increased
it
to
four
years.
That's.
T
That's
correct,
Mara,
in
fact,
that
was
related
to
one.
They
had
the
original
proposals
referring
to
the
third
part
of
the
ordinance
tonight,
which
is
when
to
start
the
application
process
and
when,
when,
when
we
cut
it
off
so
that
we
can
begin
the
processing,
we
had
initially
suggested
a
biennial
cycle
that
is
every
other
year
rather
than
every
year,
and
the
mayor
quite
rightly
pointed
out.
The
unintended
consequence
of
that
associated
with
a
new
three-year
rule
would
actually
make
it
a
four-year
rule.
M
Thank
you.
I
am
going
to
support
the
staffs
recommendation
of
three
years,
because
I
think
that
you
know
we
already
move
it
back
the
day
of
you
know,
application
has
the
short
day
and
that
already
signals
to
developer
that
I
have
to
be
serious
when
they
apply
for
something
that's
just
to
test
the
air
and
if
we
kind
of
we,
we
actually
now
have
three
years.
You
know
in
a
way
that's
the
practice.
If
we
push
it
back
to
two,
it
gives
a
little
bit
of
confusing
signal.
M
You
know
say
well,
are
we
going
backwards
or
not?
Why
do
and
do
something?
And
furthermore,
I
think
the
staff
has
the
the
city
has
the
opportunity
if
some
project,
it's
really
good?
That
city
was
support
and
we
can
have
a
city
initiated
comp
plan.
We
can
do
it
in
one
year.
You
know
so
I.
Don't
think
that
is
a
really
true
hurdle
not
to
prevent
a
good
project,
see
the
spot.
Yes,
we
want
to
do
so.
M
A
R
For
us
tonight
the
changes
which
we
have
I
understand
the
Planning
Commission
made
their
recommendation,
but
it's
only
a
recommendation
and
the
council
is
the
ultimate
authority
on
what
we
do
with
our
land
use
code
as
well
as
whether
we
grant
CPAs
or
not.
So
we
had
extensive
discussion
on
November
4th
and
we
came
up
with
a
compromise
that
I
think
everyone
I
thought
the
council
was
fully
supportive
of,
but
so
is
since
we're
gonna
go
ahead
and
read
argue
this.
Let
me
go
ahead
and
go
back
to
all
the
things.
R
I
said
on
November
4th,
I
won't
say
them
all
I
promise
mayor,
but
so
one
of
the
I
do
support
the
September
15th
and
if
we
are
going
to
create
having
as
I
call
it
jeopardy
attached
upon
filing
of
the
application,
then
I
think
reducing
it
from
three
years.
Gap
to
two
years
is
fair
because,
as
it
was
before,
when
someone
filed
an
application,
they
we
have
a
lot.
We
had
very
few
be
subject
to
the
Jeopardy,
because
people
would
pull
them
right
before
the
council
meeting
hearing
on
the
threshold
review.
R
So
what
we
were
doing
is
we
were
having
a
lot
that
came
in
and
again
and
again
may
well
not
a
lot,
but
there
was
a
few
that
came
in
several
times
so
by
having
jeopardy
attached
upon
filing
and
by
making
the
filing
September
15th
instead
of
January,
I,
think
30th
or
31st.
We
are
making
sure
that
people
have
to
have
their
ducks
in
a
row
and
I
think
as
a
result
of
having
jeopardy
attached
at
filing.
R
We
will
get
more
serious,
thoughtful
applications,
but
by
having
the
extension,
then
be
three
years
when
jeopardy
attaches
upon
filing
I.
Think
that
that
is
harsh,
because,
first
of
all
it
that
change
the
change
alone
makes
it
more
thoughtful,
but
making
it
three
years,
I
think
disincentivizes
stakeholders
from
engaging
in
a
real,
productive
manner
to
make
things
better.
What
it
does
is.
It
creates
a
winner-take-all
scenario
where
people
will
just
try
to
kill
them,
kill
the
amendment
rather
than
trying
to
really
engage
with
it
thoughtfully
so
that
they
get
a
three
year
reprieve.
R
I
think
that
you
can
learn
a
lot
from
a
failed,
comprehensive
plan
amendment,
and
hopefully,
when
one
comes
back
a
couple
of
years
later,
it's
better
and
it
results
in
better
result
for
the
stakeholders,
assuming
it
is
granted
I,
also
think,
by
having
a
three
year
gap
with
jeopardy
attaching
upon
filing
you
lose
the
ability
to
take
advantage
of
opportunities.
Remember
this
gap
applies
to
properties
that
didn't
apply
for
a
CPA
that
were
scoped
in.
R
It
applies
to
properties
that
may
have
traded
and
be
subject
to
death
and
other
owners
with
different
ideas
that
might
be
better
and
more
acceptable
to
the
neighborhood
I
think
it's
a
real
problem.
If
we
create
a
jeopardy
attaching
on
September
15th,
and
then
they
can't
come
back
for
three
years,
Bellevue
is
really
great.
Our
economic
development
discussion
is
a
great
example.
R
We
are
really
great
at
building
places
that
create
quality
of
life
for
the
people
who
live
here,
and
we
are
great
at
taking
advantage
of
opportunities
that
come
our
way
to
to
do
this,
to
change
it
from
what
we
had
discussed
on
November
4th
to
have
a
three
year
gap
that
starts
at
September
15th.
Looking
seperti
immediately
I
think
goes
the
wrong
way
and
it
limits
our
ability
to
make
things
better
when
the
opportunities
come
along,
so
I
support
it
as
written.
Thank
you,
but.
A
A
A
A
A
That
you
would
that
would
be
amended
before
it's
signed
to
indicate
that
so
it
has
been
moved
and
seconded.
Is
there
further
discussion
and
I'll
begin
with
the
council
members
I'll
begin
with
the
maker
of
the
motion.
If
she
wants
to
to
go
because
she
did
not
discuss
yet
the
the
three-year
versus
two
year,
I.
P
T
T
In
the
beginning,
thank
you,
sir.
So
the
existing
three.
So
when,
when
an
application
you'll
be
familiar,
we
have
a
two-step
process.
We
have
threshold
review
and
final
review
and
the
3-year
rule
says
you
cannot
be
considered
for
three
subsequent
annual
cycles.
If
the
council's
decision
that
threshold
review
is
to
not
advance
you
in
the
final
review
or
if
you
get
the
final
review,
if
the
council
denies
the
application
that
still
it
because
the
annual
process
is
a
year
long
process,
it's
not
happening
at
a
point
in
time.
T
It's
happening
in
that
year's
annual
amendment
process,
so
the
three
year
old
applies
at
either
of
those
points,
council
action
and
then
apply
for
the
next
three
annual
cycles,
as
councilmember
Robertson
pointed
out
moving
the
moving
the
the
applications
the
middle
period
to
the
previous
year
sets
you
up.
It
still
sets
you
up
for
that
three-year
rule,
to
count
for
three
annual
cycles
that
that
improper
dinner
would
have
to
be
limited
from,
but
it
still
counts
from
the
same
overall
annual
point
in
time
that
that
doesn't
change,
because
our
process
is
a
year-long
process.
T
A
T
T
Running
right,
when
you
file
an
application
now,
the
3-year
limitation
only
comes
into
play.
If
the
council
takes
threshold
review
action
to
deny
it
or
if
the
council
takes
final
review
action
to
deny
the
the
CPA
itself
right.
This
has
that
same.
It's
intended
for
stability.
It's
intended
to
give
this
process,
which
is
a
lengthy
and
legislative
process,
to
give
it
the
ability
to
work
the
three
limitation
still
with
whatever
number
of
years.
It
puts
people
out
of
the
active
consideration
for
that
site
again
for
three
years
with
the
existing
thing.
T
It's
a
decision
that
happens
at
some
point
within
this
year-long
process
and
that's
led
to
this
rise
in
an
epidemic
of
the
withdrawals
that
we
documented
for
Commission
and
previously,
with
the
with
the
moving
the
trigger
to
the
beginning
of
the
process,
simply
alerts
people
that,
regardless
of
the
outcome
they
they
will
be
subject
to
a
three
limitation.
Okay,.
K
So
that's
that's
a
significant
change
and
it
eliminates
that
and
that's
been.
The
thing
people
have
been
complaining
about
is
having
people
continually
file
and
when
it
looks
like
it's
not
going,
the
neighborhood
has
a
project
protest
or
they
drop
it
and
then
file
again
because
they
don't
have
jeopardy
at
that
point
yeah.
It
has
to
be
a
decision
by
the
council.
That's
correct!
So
under
this
and
the
current
which
of
what
the
proposal
is
now
when
does
jeopardy
attached,
you're.
K
We
moved
it
to
two
years.
It
would
be
two
years
after
that
volley
done
that's
correct,
right
and
the
reason
I
support
the
two
years
is
separate
from
the
issue.
That's
been
addressed
here
and
I.
Don't
find
this
chart
to
really
really
helpful
the
number
actually
the
number
of
those
who
have
caused
seemingly
caused
problems
or
people.
K
K
In
a
lot
of
cases,
the
developers
then
work
with
the
neighborhood
and
or
come
up
with
a
new
proposal,
and
so
they're
only
get
a
couple
of
cases
and
one
of
them
actually
and
and
when
you
look
at
this
chart,
there's
only
a
fairly
one
year
savings
of
time
here
if
this
was
applied
under
this
chart.
So
it's
not
a
big
deal.
K
I
think
what's
important
is
that
we
are
and
I'm
not
I,
think
we're
challenging
what
I'm
challenging
is
why
the
3-year
rule
applies
anyhow
and
just
making
it
set
in
stone
and
everybody
has
that
apply.
If
they
don't,
their
proposal
doesn't
go
through
means
that
you
can't
come
back
and
approve
and
improve
on
that
proposal.
Work
on
that
and
come
back
and
within
a
shorter
time
period
and
get
something
going.
So
it
means,
if
you
don't
get
it
approved
because
of
what
you
have
at
the
time.
K
Your
proposal
then
you're
out
for
three
years:
you're
you're
done
with
that
property
essentially
and
I.
Think
that
is
I,
think
we're
missing
opportunities,
I
think
with
the
rapid
change
of
development
in
this
city,
we're
not
as
nimble
and
as
smart
as
we
could
be
on
that
I
think
we're
just
it's
an
artificial
barrier
that
I
think
is
not
necessary
to
get
good
development,
and
that's
why
I
think
the
two
year
and
having
it
start
when
they
file
here's
the
important
piece
and
that's
a
that's.
H
You
Mara
yeah
I
support
the
ordinance,
as
is
as
well.
Customer
Stokes
makes
a
good
argument
that
I
I
do
believe
that
two
years
is
fair.
It
is
already
a
deterrent
to
developers.
We
do
need
to
remain
flexible
and
I
think
this.
If
we
go
to
three
years
that
takes
it
out
of
play
and
I
do
think
the
three
years
that
you
know
can
be
pinnate
of
in
nature
and
it
really
misses
out
on.
G
I
A
A
O
I
remember
last
time
when
we
spoke,
we
also
I
think
talked
about
the
pre
application
process
and
the
ability
for
any
developers
to
sit
down
with
staff
and
potentially
work
through
and
make
sure
that
before
they
submit
that
they
actually
do
have
the
bones
of
an
application.
That
is
a
lot
more
viable
because
that
pre
application
process
gives
us
gives
that
opportunity
for
interactive
dialogue.
So
can
you
talk
about
that
because
I
we
haven't
talked
about
that
tonight.
T
With
this
with
this,
we
are
now
requiring
a
pre
development
services
application
and
to
date,
we've
received
some
positive
responses
about
that
from
people
this.
This
is
the
time
of
year.
It's
kind
of
my
taxis
and
it's
when
people
come
in
and
they
start
inquiring
about
next
year's
plan,
amendment
process
and
we're
hearing
some
in
anecdotally
and
some
good
responses
to
this
idea
that
we
will
now
have
an
official
pre
development
application
that
allows
other
departments
to
weigh
in
on
the
potential.
T
What
it
does,
then,
is
it
lets
an
applicant
think
they
get
a
written
letter
back
and
allows
them
to
take
that
information
back
and
then,
when
it's
time
to
come
for
the
conference
plan
amendment
then
it
is,
it
is
a
much
more
rigorously
stood-up
application
that
would
come
so
we're
hoping
that
that
that
doing
it
in
that
fashion
will
allow
those
applications
to
be
more
real,
to
be
more
more
focused
and
to
perhaps
have
a
better
chance
of
being
discussed
throughout
the
entire
plan.
Amendment
process
and
then.
T
O
T
Typically
see
that
as
part
of
a
robust
community
engagement
process
throughout
the
formal
process,
this
allows
us
to
get
a
heads-up
earlier
on.
We
always
encourage
owners
of
property
to
reach
out
to
their
surrounding
communities
as
part
of
their
formal
engagement
process.
This
allows
us
to
help
them
shape
that
and
have
that
conversation
occur
even
earlier
than
it
has
in
the
past,
but
we
still
we
end
up
focusing
that
in
the
formal
review
process
through
our
engagement
requirements,
so.
M
M
You
know
getting
a
lot
of
enquiries
and
actions,
and
you
have
to
respond
to
really
without
knowing
seriously
whether
they
are
real,
the
good
project
or
not
so
I
think
that,
just
as
that,
one
and
second
thing
is
the
neighbors
are
concerned
when
people
started
to
poking
around
see
we're
going
to
do
something
and
they're
not
really
serious.
So
that's
the
really
issue
that
we're
addressing
is
how
do
we
discourage
that?
So
the
whole
whole
issue
that
came
to
us
of
you
doing
this
is
to
discourage
people
from
easily
applying
it
and
I.
M
M
You
know
because
if
they
don't
have
a
real
good
proposals
are
serious.
The
concert
is
denied
anyway
right
and
you
wouldn't
recommend
denying
anyway,
and
so
it's
not
real.
So
why
waste
the
time
you
know
you
don't
need
to
waste
your
time
doing
those
things,
but
if
they
are
really
serious
is
a
good
project.
You
believe
it
is.
You
will
be
very
serious.
M
Working
with
them,
you'll
be
helping
them
to
make
a
work
and
like
the
netizen
amazon
suggested,
and
you
will
be
working
making
sure
it
gets
the
Council's
approval,
so
they
are
much
better
chance
to
get
approved
that
actually
don't
have
to
be
playing
with
the
game.
It's
another
gamesmanship.
We
want
solid,
concrete,
good
proposals
which
they
are
serious
about
and
to
be
serious.
They
have
to
be
talking
to
you.
M
You
have
to
understand
the
merit
of
the
development
and
you
work
with
them,
support
them
and
that's
how
I
think
they
have
much
much
better
chance
for
developers.
That's
naturally
the
better
way
to
go
about
you
don't
want
it.
How
bunch
of
people
just
come
in,
say:
gee
I
got
a
piece
of
tile
or
do
something.
Let's
see
what
we
can
get
come
on,
you
know
you
have
given
examples
of
that.
I
talked
to
Mac,
you
know
quite
a
bit
and
I
believe
that
they
understand
what
the
problem
is.
M
They
are
doing
this
to
correct
that
problem,
both
for
the
city
and
puts
for
the
residents,
and
this
is
a
solution
that
will
make
it
work.
So
there's
no
reason
to
play
around
with
it
as
I
mention.
If
it's
a
good
project,
if
they
are
really
serious
and
if
you
don't
make
it
for
some
reason
because
they
made
a
mistake
or
oversight,
you
know
we
can
help
them.
We
can
say
the
city
wants
this
project.
If
you
are
serious,
we'll
make
it
happen,
we'll
do
a
city
initiated
amendment
and
stop
in
one
year.
M
R
P
I
was
wondering
if
staff
could
describe
the
council
initiative
amendment
for
if
we
decided
to
just
have
a
developer
take
two
years
instead
of
the
three.
If
we
passed
the
three
year
resolution,
but
then
there
was
a
certain
situation
where
we
wanted
to
speed
it
up
for
a
developer.
Particular
reason:
can
you
talk
speak
to
that.
T
Certainly,
councils
legislative
authority
to
and
initiate
a
comp
plan
amendment
is
yours
entirely
throughout
any
course
of
review.
You
are
only
limited
by
the
need
to
make
it
part
of
the
work
program
that
you
adopt
for
final
review,
so
council
initiated
amendments
are
presumed
to
be
on
their
face.
Comp
plan,
amendment
amendable,
and
so
you
skip
the
threshold
review
and
you
go
straight
to
initiating
it
through
final
review.
I
think.
AB
I
might
add,
we
don't
imagine
a
process
for
council
and
initiated
CPAs,
so
the
council
and
typically
and
initiate
CPAs
that
are
publicly
related.
So,
for
example,
you're
going
to
have
one
to
add
transportation
projects
into
the
Comprehensive
Plan.
We
don't
imagine
a
surrogate
behind-the-scenes
process,
that's
the
right
term
to
have
CPAs
initiated.
Should
someone
have
been
denied
through
the
regular
CPA
process.
I.
Think
the
point
in
pointing
this
out
is
that
should
some
something
substantial
change
during
that
waiting
period.
AB
There
is
a
process-
it's
not
as
if
there's
no
process
to
address
some
of
the
situations,
but
we
don't
imagine
it
being
used
frequently
and
I.
Don't
think
that
was
councils
intent
in
wanting
to
set
this
up.
His
intent
was
to
be
able
to
solve
for
the
problem
of
people
withdrawing
the
night
of
public
hearings,
yeah.
P
A
R
On
the
council
initiated
the
last
time
that
was
used
for
an
individual
CPA
was
the
st.
margaret's
CPA
to
put
affordable
housing
on
their
parking
lot
and,
and
it
wasn't
a
failed
CPA.
It
was
a
CPA
where
the
church
missed
the
deadline
and
they
came
to
council
and
said
we
have
this
opportunity
to
put
st.
Andrews
Housing
Partnership
to
put
affordable
housing
transition
homeless
transition
on
our
lot.
We
think
it's
our
religious
duty
to
do
so,
and
the
council
initiated
it.
R
That
is
the
only
time
that
I
know
of
in
the
last
20
years
that
that's
been
used
for
an
individual.
It
is
never
my
knowledge
been
used
for
a
failed
CPA.
I
can't
imagine.
When
staff
can't
even
get
time
on
our
agenda.
Can
we
actually
even
imagine
that
the
council
seeing
an
opportunity
would
initiate
a
CPA
that
has
failed
I?
R
Don't
I
just
think
that
that's
pure
sophistry
to
think
that
that
is
actually
a
solution
when
there's
an
opportunity
that
comes
along
within
the
three-year
period,
so
I
don't
need
to
go
over
all
my
main
arguments
again,
but
I
will
say,
I
think
it
is
three
years
with
the
earlier
jeopardy.
Attaching
is
unfairly
punitive
and
it
would
discourage
people
from
applying
for
CPAs.
It
will
discourage
investment
and
innovation
in
Bellevue.
I
also
think
it's
potentially
inconsistent
with
the
growth
Management
Act,
which
recognizes
annual
comprehensive
plan
amendments,
so
I
plan
to
vote
against
the
amendment.
I
K
Stokes
well
like
I,
agree
again,
as
my
colleague
on
that
and
what
she
just
said,
I
think
that's
important
to
keep
in
mind.
I
do
want
to
point
out
that
there
are
only
actually
two
examples
of
developers
who
would
who
went
through
this,
and
it
was
never
fertilis.
I
mean
I
had
and
we
had
we're
talking
about
having
all
kinds
of
with
this
three
year
period
and
and
what
we're
doing
now,
having
a
lot
of
time
for
the
city
to
work
with
the
developer.
K
That's
what
we
do
I
was
there
at
the
one
that
was
one
of
the
most
contentious
ones,
that
and,
and
it
was
developed.
It
was
not
the
problem,
the
developer
and
being
serious
or
anything
else
and
I
was
there,
as
you
know
too
late
one
night
within
the
community,
and
it
was
a
vigorous
discussion
and
the
developer
had
a
plan
that
would
have
worked.
K
They
just
the
community,
didn't
like
some
people
with
me,
didn't
like
it
and
they
decided
they
didn't
want
to
take
the
risk
of
the
three
years
and
they
dropped
out
and
I
think
actually
well.
Whether
we
would
have
council
would
have
gone
forwards.
Another
question,
but
I
just
think
that
the
three
year
period,
when
you
have
is
just
punitive
and
and
it's
not
necessary
to
achieve
our
goals.
K
I
think
changing
this
to
make
the
jeopardy
at
the
time
they
file
is
the
significant
piece
and
two
years
after
that
is
fish
in
time
and
the
second
one
they're
only
two
on
here
and
the
second
one
again
I
saw
Dilla's.
We
looked
at
those
and
several
other
council
members
and
I
remember
sitting
down
thinking
hey.
This
is
really
good.
Look
what's
been
done,
but
the
community
didn't
want,
wasn't
ready
and
that's
it
wasn't,
because
developers
were
just
playing
games
or
their
fertilis
or
whatever.
K
For
what
reef,
whatever
reason,
but
it's
at
this
time-
it's
if
you
get
denied
it's
for
three
years
and
it
should
be
for
two
years,
I,
just
I,
just
think
we're
mixing
things
up.
We're
mixing
up
some
problems
that
happen
with
communications
with
the
with
neighborhoods,
and
sometimes
you
have
to
fight
through
these
things
for
a
time
and
we're
mixing
that
up
with
trying
to
have
a
system
that
actually
helps
development
go
forward
in
a
good
way
that
really
do
really
helps
with
a
neighborhood
and
I.
Think
that's
where
we're
missing
the
boat
on
this.
K
If
we
go
to
the
three
years
and
I
think
it
will
have
a
possibly
deleterious
effect
on
developers
wanting
to
go
forward,
particularly
for
medium
properties,
that
you
know
it's
iffy
and
how
they're
gonna
go
forward
on
it
and
waiting
three
years,
it's
just
not
gonna,
be
an
option.
You'll
sell
it
off.
Somebody
else
to
come
along
I
think
we're
just
playing
games
with
it.
That's
what
bothers
me
on
it.
I
think
the
two
years.
This
is
sufficient
time.
Great,
okay,.
A
A
T
They're,
the
the
the
circumstances.
There
was
a
small
cluster
of
small
properties,
one
of
which
used
to
be
a
house
right
north
of
Newport,
high
school
mm-hmm
and
dr.
Lord
was
had
there
were
some
joint
parking
agreements
and
some
different
understandings
of
who
was
doing
what
on
his
property
and
dr.
Lord's,
kept
trying
to
find
a
proposed
designation
that
he
thought
would
allow
him
to
make
the
property
more
marketable,
and
he
would
he
cycled
through
a
P
o
and
O
multifamily
designation
and
the
underlying
strength
of
the
sub
area
plan
in
that
area.
T
It's
across
the
street
from
councilman
Robertson's
reference
to
say,
market,
the
underlying
strength
of
the
sub
area
plan
and
there
to
characterize
it
withstood
the
repeated
dr.
Lord
was
withdrawing
his
applications
as
he
sought
over
a
number
of
years
to
find
the
right
match
with
what
he
believed
the
property
could
be
marketed
for.
So.
T
It
that's
correct,
it
was,
they
were
difficult,
small
sites,
it's
the
larger
factorio
area
and
it
just
didn't.
T
One
turned
out
to
be
two
brothers
who
weren't
speaking
to
each
other,
even
though
they
jointly
owned
the
property
and
you'll
see
today
that
they're,
a
project
he's
being
built,
I
believe
there's
44
multifamily
units
being
built
on
the
existing
Bell
rezoning
that
was
in
place
in
2009.
The
two
brothers
want
they
can
sought
to
come
up
with
a
density
that
was
more
aligned
with.
T
What's
in
the
middle
of
Bell
red
focused
around
the
the
high-capacity
centers
and
again,
the
strength
of
the
sub
area
plan
allowed
us
to
have
that
conversation
about
what
appropriate
edge
densities
should
occur
in
that
area.
But
at
the
end
of
the
day,
the
two
brothers,
as
I
mentioned,
weren't
speaking
to
each
other,
and
then
one
made
one
and
then
another
made
one
in
subsequent
years.
They
went
through
them
both
when
they
ended
up
with
their
lawyers
and
speaking
to
each
other.
Okay,.
A
A
project
has
gone
forward
consistent
with
develop
you
at
the
bell
red
plant
that
right
right,
okay,
so
I
kind
of
remember
that
one
is
it
back
in
my
councilman
or
deputy
mayor
Robinson
mentioned
pencils
in
our
earlier
discussion
as
an
analogy
to
on
software,
but
I
think
that
was
in
the
days
of
hearing
that
it
just
won't
pencil
out.
But
apparently
it
did
so
now.
I
am
very
familiar
with
BTC
and
very
familiar
with
Newport
Hills
and
they
are.
Is
there
another
I'm
missing?
Is
there
another
one
in
here?
T
Merit
that
that
information
that
you
have
before
there
is
information
that
the
community
has
brought
you.
What
we
identified
in
your
study
session
and
previously
with
the
Planning
Commission,
were
11
what
we
called
repeat
offenders.
We
had
11
applications
that
were
shared
by
for
property
owners,
BTC
Newport,
Hills,
a
dr.
Lord
and
then
the
the
Banner
Bank
once
and
so
that
that's
the
folks
that
that
had
done
it
more
than
once.
Okay.
A
So
this
is
all
just
kind
of
get
to
it.
I
would
prefer
the
three-year,
but
I
do
want
to
have
a
I
and
I.
Actually
I
believe
I
said
that
at
the
last
meeting,
because
I
sort
of
remember
it
being
five
two
or
four
three
and
I
will
always
say
that
I
try
to
warn
people
that,
when
council
gives
direction
to
write
in
ordinance,
it's
not
necessarily
that
we
are
agreeing
that
that's
what
we're
going
to
adopt.
I
think
that's!
That's
an
important
thing
to
mention.
A
It
is
also
in
the
city's
interest
that
Newport
Hills
redeveloped
and
we've
done
some
studies
regarding
that
as
to
much
commercial,
there
could
possibly
be
there.
So
it
is
in
the
city's
interest
that
it
that
it
redeveloped
BTC
is
slightly
different
in
there's
a
acquisition,
that's
been
happened
and
they've
come
down
and
wanted
to
do
some
different
things,
but
there's
a
concomitant
agreement
that
crosses
that
property
and
that
begins
to
be
be
the
issue.
Land
use
codes
have
intended
consequences
and
unintended
consequences.
A
One
of
the
unintended
consequences
of
how
we
do
this
has
been-
this
repeat,
repeat,
repeat:
cycle
that
has
occurred
and
I
think
it
has
been
frustrating
to
certain
neighborhoods
to
the
Planning
Commission
and
to
many
of
us,
the
outlet
of
a
council
initiated
CPA
should
really
only
be
done
when
there
is
a
good
public
good
that
is
achieved.
I
actually
do
remember
one
that
came
to
both
councilmember
Robertson
and
I
when
we
were
on
Planning
Commission
and
then
myself
when
we
were
on
the
council.
A
That
was
a
gentleman
who
said
he
needed
and
I
mentioned
it
earlier
today
there
were
three
buildings
when
I
first
ran
for
council
that
were
capped
at
the
foundation.
They'd
been
dug
in
downtown
and
they
were
capped
at
the
foundation.
This
gentleman
said
he
needed
sky
bridges
and
we
didn't
allow
sky
bridges
and
the
council
initiated
a
CPA
and
basically
said
work
to
make
this
happen.
So
I
think
that
was
one
because
there
was
a
good
common
good
to
see
that
redevelopment
start.
So
you
can
do
that
on
council
initiated
CPAs,
st.
A
Margaret
is
a
is
also
I
believe
of
another
example
that
councilmember
Robertson
use.
So
you
you
can
bypass
that
this
does
not
stop
development.
We
have
just
done
a
large,
comprehensive,
planned
change
and
land
use
code
change
for
the
downtown
we're
about
to
do
it
for
will
Burton.
We
did
it
in
the
Bell
read.
Eventually
we
will
get
a
bell.
Read,
look
back
that
will
probably
make
some.
While
eventually
you
will,
that
will
eventually
make
maybe
some
modest
change
Changez
down
there.
A
It
looks
to
me
like
a
lot
of
the
area,
is
developing
so
I
think
what
I
came
down
on
this
was
I
favored
the
three
years,
so
I
will
support
that
amendment
and
then
support
that
on
final
adoption,
I
will
have
to
say.
If
the
amendment
fails,
I
will
support
the
two-year
as
well,
but
I
think
the
three-year
is
the
right
way
to
go.
I
do
think
the
unintended
consequence
of
this
is.
You
will
see
more
people
approaching
the
council
trying
to
do.
A
Trying
to
do
Council
initiated
that's
not
necessarily
a
bad
thing,
but
I
really
think
the
council
in
going
forward,
should
really
consider
to
only
do
a
council
council
if
there
is
a
identified
public
benefit
from
it.
So
that's
where
I
will
go,
I
believe
what
we
have
before
us
is
the
amendment
I
believe
you
move
the
amendment.
So
the
amendment
is
to
change
the
ordinance
from
two
to
three
years,
we're
speaking
here
again
of
6495,
so
I'll
call
for
the
vote
on
the
amendment.
All
those
in
favor
say:
aye
aye,
all
those
opposed
no.
L
A
Three
noes
and
four
eyes:
the
amendment
passes
to
three
years.
This
now
brings
us
unless
there
is
further
discussion
on
the
ordinance
or
further
amendments.
I
am
seeing
none.
This
brings
us
to
final
adoption.
We
certainly
can
have
discussion
on
final
adoption.
If
anybody
wants
seeing
none
well,
I,
yes,
go
ahead.
Councilman.
R
Very
you
know:
I
was
supporting
this,
but
I
think
this
is
too
harsh
and
inconsistent
with
the
growth
Management,
Act
and
I
think
to
think
that
we're
ever
going
to
initiate
a
council
initiated
CPA
that
has
failed
no
matter
what
the
changes
circumstance
is.
Absolutely,
if
you
believe
in
you
know,
the
sky
is
green.
R
It's
not
going
to
happen,
and
we
and
I
think
that
out
fall
of
this,
where
we
have
people
coming
to
the
council
trying
to
get
us
to
prejudge
a
CPA
by
initiate,
because
excuse
me,
how
is
have
we
ever
denied
a
CPA
that
we
initiated?
No,
that
would
be
no
so
I'm
really
disappointed
because
I
like
a
lot
of
the
changes
here
but
I
feel
forced
to
vote
no,
because
I
think
this
is.
This
is
just
over-the-top
harsh.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
H
H
At
the
same
time,
it's
really
going
to
enforce
with
developers
they
bring
serious
applications.
So
I
really
do
feel
like
this
is
a
missed
opportunity.
I
think
this
provided
a
compromise.
A
good
balance
and
I'll
also
be
voting
no
on
this,
because
I
also
believe
that
it's
it's
it's
it's
too
harsh
and
and
what
we're
aiming
for
here,
which
is
a
worthy
goal,
I
think
we
can
accomplish
with
too
and
again
the
three-year
feels
punitive
and,
as
councilmember
Stokes
says,
I
think
I'll
have
a
deleterious
effect,
which
is
a
word
I
learned
tonight.
K
K
It
could
be
ten
years
or
whatever
it's
not
going
to
matter.
If
you
can't
come
together
with
the
community
and
and
we
can't
dictate
what
we
want
developed
on
a
property
and
I
think
we're
setting
ourselves
up
for
some
some
problems
down
the
line
and
I
suspect
this
council
will
be
revisiting
this
at
some
times
and
saying:
okay,
we
went
too
far
on
this.
We
overshot
it
because
we're
trying
to
solve
a
problem
which
we
solved
and
then
we
went
further
than
that
and
look
what
happens
sometimes,
but
I
will
vote
no
okay,.
A
V
V
A
S
S
The
appearance
of
fairness
doctor
requires
that
we
announce
the
content
of
ex
parte
communications
and
the
party's
right
to
rip
up
the
substance
at
each
hearing
where
the
action
is
taken.
So
I
am
again
announcing
the
general
content
of
the
18
emails
that
contain
potential
ex
parte
communications
that
were
previously
identified
at
the
council's
October
16
appeal
hearing
and
it's
November
14
meeting.
S
Those
emails
generally
address
the
topics
of
energy
demand
and
options
on
the
east
side
of
King
County,
and
there
are
several
emails
regarding
requests
to
meet
with
council
members
about
those
issues
as
to
any
new
ex
parte
context.
Since
the
council's
last
meeting
on
this
matter,
which
was
on
November
14
staff,
have
again
searched
the
council's
email
address
and
your
individual
council
members
city
addresses
and
did
not
disclose
any
additional
or
did
not
identify
or
find
any
additional
ex
parte
communications.
S
G
S
If
any
of
the
parties
to
the
appeal
are
here,
and
they
wish
to
rebut
the
substance
of
any
of
the
previously
disclosed
communications,
they
need
to
identify
that
now
and
seeing
no
response
to
that.
I'll
turn
to
the
substance
of
proposed
ordinance,
six,
four,
nine
four,
just
to
refresh
the
council
on
the
public's
memories.
As
to
the
procedural
history
behind
this
ordinance.
In
June
of
this
year,
the
city's
Hearing
Examiner
issued
a
decision
approving
Puget
Sound
Energy's
application
for
a
conditional
use
permit
for
the
South
Bellevue
segment
of
the
energized
Eastside
project.
S
Permit,
as
approved
by
the
Hearing
Examiner,
a
proposed
ordinance,
six,
four
nine
four,
which
is
before
you
tonight
for
final
action,
is
in
response
to
council's
direction.
If
adopted,
it
will
deny
the
appeals
of
all
the
appellant
on
the
basis
that
they
have
failed
to
meet
their
burden,
to
prove
that
the
hearing
examiner's
decision
wasn't
supported
by
material
and
stan
shil
evidence
in
the
record.
S
It
also
contains
conclusions
about
counsels,
lack
of
jurisdiction
over
several
issues
and,
finally,
the
ordinance
approves
the
GOP
application
of
PSC
for
the
south
segment
subject
to
all
of
the
numerous
conditions
that
were
imposed
by
the
Hearing
Examiner
again.
This
is
before
you
tonight
for
final
action.
One
final
reminder
before
I
conclude:
the
staff
report
is
that,
should
the
council
approve
this
ordinance
tonight
and
deny
the
appeals?
A
Thank
you
so
we
have
before
us
or
nobody
there's
not
been
moved
yet.
But
again,
this
is
an
unusual
situation
where
the
council
is
acting
essentially
as
an
appellate
court.
What
we
had
before
us
previously
I
would
say
is
akin
to
an
appellate
court,
giving
a
oral
decision
and
then
going
in
writing
the
writing.
A
A
Thank
you.
That
brings
us
to
the
conclusion
of
our
agenda
for
this
evening.
It
would
appear
that
this
evening,
those
of
you
who
are
football
fans,
we
won
an
NFL
game
and
went
into
the
lead
for
the
NFC
West
and
the
two
major
universities
in
the
state
lost
their
coaches
so
an
interesting
day
and
for
football
fans
all
right.
Is
there
any
other
business
to
come
before
the
council,
seeing
none.
