A
Welcome
to
the
Bellevue
city
council
meeting
for
December
5th
2022.
tonight
our
clerk
is
absent,
Charmaine
Arredondo,
and
so
we
have
Deputy
city
clerk,
Karen,
Roberts
working
with
us
tonight
and
last
week
we
had
excused
our
deputy
mayor
from
this
meeting,
but
he's
here
and
councilmember
Robertson
is
not
so
we
need
to
excuse
her
absence.
Is
there
a
motion
to
do
that?
I
moved
to
excuse,
councilmember,
Robertsons,.
A
Those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
aye
any
opposed
I'm
just
going
to
call
you
clerk
because
I'm
I'm
used
to
that.
So
could
you
could
you
please
call
the
roll.
D
A
A
A
F
F
Great,
so
this
poem
is
called
a
recipe
for
steaming
almost
dragon,
and
this
is
also
the
poem
that
I
have
the
opportunity
to
share
at
the
White
House
as
well.
This
past
September
and.
F
Wonderful
before
I
begin,
there
are
two
definitions
before
I
begin
reading
the
poem
first
longmen,
which
means
the
Dragon
Gate
and
then
Chinese
mythology
carps,
that
leap
over
a
waterfall
through
the
Dragon
Gate
become
dragons
and
second
Ching
Zhang
long,
which
means
steam
dragon
with
that
being
said,
a
recipe
for
steaming
almost
dragon
every
few
centuries.
When
the
carp
gathered
at
the
base
of
the
long
men
and
thunder
clouds
riled
with
Legend
and
Youth,
we
waded
into
the
Brinks
of
the
waterfall
and
waited
that
night.
F
F
F
Third
Steam
for
seven
minutes
in
death.
We
replicate
Glory
with
an
opiate
Haze
here
we
unwind
the
dreams,
tucked
in
little
carp
skulls,
the
Lacy
hemlines
of
Cascades,
the
rumble
of
cast
iron
gates,
opening
the
pale
heat
of
the
heavens
taste
flesh,
cleave
from
the
Mountainside
skin,
Sheen
and
gold,
and
bones
that
prickle
at
the
roof
of
the
sky.
Still
with
the
slight
Tang
of
thunder.
A
A
A
A
C
Excuse
me,
thank
you
mayor.
We
have
15
pre-registered
speakers
this
evening
for
oral
comms.
As
a
reminder,
oral
Communications
is
for
a
total
of
no
more
than
30
minutes.
Each
speaker
will
be
allowed
to
speak
for
three
minutes
and
only
speakers
I
know.
Only
three
speakers
are
allowed
to
speak
to
any
one
particular
side
of
a
topic.
C
A
Before
we
start
so,
if
we
have
more
than
one
three
people
speaking
to
one
topic
on
one
side
of
it,
they
will
not
be
able
to
speak
tonight.
But
if
we
have
it
sounds
like
we
have
more
than
30
minutes
worth
of
speakers
that
are
outside
of
that
rule.
So
we
have
in
our
Council
policy
that
we
can
extend
the
public
comment
to
after
the
meeting
continue
the
at
the
end
of
the
meeting
for
for
the
public
comments.
A
So
if
you
do
not
get
it,
if
you
qualify
to
speak,
but
you
don't
have
an
opportunity
to
speak
in
this
first,
three
30
minutes.
If
you'd
like
to
stay
till
the
end
of
the
meeting,
we
will
still
be
here,
we'll
still
be
interested
to
hear
what
you
have
to
say
and
also
please
submit
your
comments
by
email
as
well.
So
let's
go
ahead.
Thank
you.
H
Good
evening
mayor
Robinson,
Deputy,
Mayor,
Newman
house
and
council
members,
my
name
is
Alice
Wong
I
live
at
15017,
Southeast
44th,
Street,
Bellevue,
Washington
I'm,
a
full-time
working
mom
of
three
from
Spirit
Ridge
Newport
and
Interlake.
13
years
ago
my
husband
and
I
relocated
to
Seattle
area
and
chose
Bellevue
to
raise
our
young
family
because
of
his
good
schools,
beautiful
parks
and
demographic
diversity.
We
had
been
a
pretty
outdoorsy
family
onto
our
oldest
suffer
from
accessory
and
navicular
syndrome.
Swimming
became
the
only
sport
she
could
sustain
without
going
through
surgery.
H
Only
after
that,
we
realized
how
hard
it
was
to
support
a
child
go
through
swim,
swim
team
and
meet.
In
one
year
we
had
to
drive
her
to
five
different
venues
in
three
cities
from
Renton
to
Mercer
Island
every
week,
due
to
lack
of
facilities
in
Bellevue
tonight
as
a
first
generation.
Immigrant
parent
of
three
I
would
like
to
share
with
you
three
messages
from
many
of
my
fellow
Bellevue
families.
First
learn
to
swim.
H
Wait
lists
are
long
swim,
lessons
are
being
canceled
due
to
Staffing
shortages,
and
many
parents
give
up
or
end
up
joining
expensive
private
clubs.
In
the
last
past
year,
even
the
private
club
started
started.
Turning
down
kids
of
entry-level
swim
teams
due
to
limited
space.
It
pains
me
to
see
young
children
who
can
swim
all
four
strokes
denied
opportunities
to
join
a
swim
team
due
to
space.
What's
worse,
lots
of
families
that
I
know
cannot
afford
the
expensive
private
clubs
and
can
only
miss
out
on
aquatic
Sports.
This
brings
my
second
topic,
the
point.
H
Lastly,
but
not
least,
developing
Bellevue,
Airfield
Park
and
putting
a
new
public
Community
Aquatic
Center
at
the
park
will
not
only
benefit
the
600
Spirit
Rich
families
in
its
proximity,
but
will
also
demonstrate
how
the
combination
of
Park
elements,
Trails,
Sports,
Fields
picnic
areas,
gather
spaces
and
Aquatic
Center
can
offer
something
good
for
everyone.
Thank
you
all
for
helping
us
build
a
more
inclusive
and
welcoming
community
that
puts
everyone's
well-being
at
a
high
priority,
especially
those
who
are
physically
and
financially
challenged
like
we
were.
Thank
you.
C
I
Good
evening
mayor
Robinson,
Deputy,
Mayor
new
in
house
and
accounts
members,
my
name
is
I.
Am
the
aquatics
director
at
the
stamina
swimming
Recreation
Club
in
the
Lake
Hills
neighborhood
I
was
born
and
raised
in
Bellevue
and
grew
up
going
to
the
Samina
club
and
the
Bellevue
Aquatic
Center
during
University
I
lived
in
Vancouver
British
Columbia
and
worked
with
them
and
experienced
with
a
fully
funded
and
developed
Aquatic
Center
Program
could
provide
for
the
community
as
an
aquatic
structure.
I
I've
served
on
many
Regional
and
state
committees
such
as
the
wrpa
aquatics
Network,
the
Washington,
drowning
prevention
Network
and
the
Washington
Department
of
Health
covet
guidelines
task
force
through
these
lenses.
I
can
see
the
dire
need
for
more
aquatic
space
and
programming
in
our
community,
for
both
the
health
and
safety
of
our
residents.
I
The
Samina
club
serves
over
1750
member
families
and
provides
thousands
of
swim
lessons
per
year,
along
with
aquatic
summer
camps
and
ambassador
of
recreational
programming.
As
one
of
bellevue's
longest
running
Recreation
clubs,
we
have
served
generations
of
Bellevue
residents
and
created
a
strong
culture
of
belonging
that
is
unique
to
our
community.
Over
the
past
five
years,
we've
seen
a
dramatic
increase
in
demand
for
recreational
opportunities,
especially
in
their
aquatic
environment.
That
is
quickly
outpacing.
I
Our
ability
to
provide
them
I'll
share
the
need,
that's
immunities
for
aquatic
programming
and
facility
capacity
and
the
opportunities
for
Samia
that
will
be
created
with
a
new,
comprehensive
Bellevue
Aquatic
Center
at
Bellevue
Airfield
Park.
Our
swim
lesson
program
fills
up
almost
instantly.
We
currently
provide
about
650
children
per
month
with
swim
lessons,
but
our
wait
lists
currently
set
at
about
300
extra
students
over
the
last
five
years.
The
Strain
has
slowly
been
building
to
the
point
where
we
can
no
longer
accommodate
non-member
registrations
and
we
are
limited
to
just
our
membership.
I
This
was
only
made
worse
by
covet,
which
crippled
many
area.
Aquatic
and
Recreation
facilities.
We've
also
seen
increased
demand
from
external
organizations
such
as
USA
swimming
teams,
water,
polo
teams
and.
I
Well,
we've
been
able
to
provide
cool
access
to
Interlake,
High
School
and
local
USA.
Swimming
teams
such
as
Eastside
aquatic
swim
team
have
inquiries
for
more
Applause.
As
a
non-profit
501c7
organization,
we
are
unable
to
provide
as
a
scholarship
opportunities.
I
would
need
it
to
ensure
all
of
our
youth
have
access
to
their
comprehensive
water
safety
programming
by
creating
a
new
Aquatic
Center
at
Bellevue,
Airfield
Park.
This
will
take
the
strain
off
by
providing
Community
with
more
options
and
opportunities
to
get
in
the
water.
I
This
will
also
allow
us
to
create
more
training
opportunities
for
new
lifeguards
and
some
instructors.
As
you
may
know,
this
is
a
national
and
local
problem
where
there's
a
shortage
of
both
lifeguards
and
some
instructors.
I
I
believe
that
developing
Bellevue
Airfield
Park
and
putting
a
new
public
Community
Aquatic
Center
at
this
park
and
not
negatively,
hurt
the
Serena
swim
and
Recreation
club.
We
provide
a
different
culture
and
community
that
a
public
pool-
and
that
is
our
main
selling
point-
we've
always
competed
with
other
aquatic
centers
and
adding
another
does
not
change
this
Mr.
J
J
With
the
recent
Parks
Levy
passing
and
the
upcoming
biennium
budget,
the
city
will
continue
the
great
investments
in
ensuring
Equitable
access
to
places
to
play,
restore
and,
most
importantly,
connect
our
parks,
recreation
facilities,
community
centers,
our
most
important
Community
places.
They
are
our
social
infrastructure
and
are
essential
as
as
essential
as
the
transportation
infrastructure
being
built
across
Bellevue.
They
are
investment
in
people
as
the
wealthiest
mid-sized
City
in
the
nation
and
one
of
the
most
racially
and
linguistically
diverse
in
the
state.
We
need
more
places
that
bridge
our
diversity
and
keep
us
connected.
J
An
aquatic
center
builds
Community
while
offering
essential
life
skills.
The
exciting
opportunities
for
the
elements
being
considered
for
Bellevue
airfield's
Park
master
plan
create
a
wide
variety
of
indoor
and
outdoor
Community
spaces.
That
will
be
a
Hallmark
for
the
city
breathing
life
into
an
undeveloped
Park
that
can
be
enjoyed
by
many
more
people
across
all
ages,
abilities
and
backgrounds.
Located
in
East
Bellevue
will
give
our
most
diverse
communities
a
front
door
access
the
park.
Amenities
along
with
an
aquatic
center,
will
have
something
for
everyone.
J
As
a
roughly
50
million
dollar
fund,
private
fundraising
partner
in
realizing
the
new
Bellevue
Aquatic
Center
Splash
forward,
is
supporting
the
master
planning
process
preparing
and
preparing
our
non-profit,
as
outlined
in
the
packet
I
shared
with
you
on
Friday.
We
are
encouraging
participation
and
cultivating
engagement
within
the
neighborhoods
schools
and
organizations
such
as
the
nearby
community
pools.
J
We
have
shared
the
details
with
you
on
community
input
and
a
summary
of
our
analysis
on
Airfield
Park
site
and
how
a
new
Aquatic
Center
creates
opportunity
for
the
existing
Aquatic
Center.
We
welcome
continued
dialogue.
We
will
continue
to
create
awareness
and
participation,
and
this
is
in
addition
to
our
work,
to
develop
our
fundraising
capacity
and
Partnerships
required.
A
few
highlights.
J
We
have
been
awarded
a
fifteen
thousand
dollar
King
County
grant
our
first
to
support
our
introduction
to
Aquatics
and
water
safety
summer
camp
held
in
partnership
with
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club
of
Bellevue
Rainier
athletes
and
Samina.
This
coming
weekend,
we
registered
five
high
school
students
for
lifeguard
training
at
the
Bellevue
Aquatic
Center,
bringing
this
year's
total
to
62
students
and
our
676.
To
date,
we've
created
an
opportunity
for
students
to
become
paid
swim
instructors
and
earn
volunteer
hours
for
our
with
our
partnership.
J
With
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club
of
Bellevue
after
school
program
to
be
held
at
the
Aquatic
Center
lifeguards
and
swim
instructors
are
essential
to
operate
our
pools.
We
can
think
of
no
better
location
than
having
a
pool
in
a
park.
A
pool
in
Airfield
Park
will
make
our
communities
stronger.
I,
look
forward
to
hearing
your
input
and
questions
and
together
we
will
keep
help.
Bellevue
continue
to
be
a
city
in
a
park.
Thank
you.
L
K
K
That
said
well,
some
might
think
we've
come
a
long
way
baby,
so
to
speak,
and
we
have.
We
got
a
heck
of
a
long
way
to
go.
Yet
there
is
a
lot
to
be
done.
We
see
some
Vision
in
the
interlocal
agreement
suggesting
that
we're
headed
the
right
direction
in
our
in
our
vision,
but
we
we
need
a
whole
lot
of
implementation
yet
and
probably
a
little
more
Vision
than
what's
already
being
described.
K
I
want
to
also
share
that
people
for
climate
action
is
active
in
all
the
other
four
cities
involved
in
the
interlocal
agreement
and
actually
actually
12
more
cities
in
King
County,
many
of
which
would
like
to
get
on
board
with
that
in
our
local
agreement
and
pull
together
the
resources
to
make
these
sorts
of
things
for
our
residential
homeowners
workable,
but
one
last
qualification
before
the
thank
you.
It's
really
going
to
take
more
money
than
you've
so
graciously
allocated
in
the
current
biennium
budget
to
to
make
the
progress
that
we
we
need.
K
So
I
will
be
coming
back
and
reminding
you
of
that
as
you
go
on
into
the
next
budget
year
and
start
talking
about
that.
But
we
really
do.
Thank
you
and
the
city
staff,
city
manager,
Miyaki
and
Michael
catterman.
The
new
department
head
in
that
field
for
all
your
good
work
on
the
interlocal
agreement
and
we
look
forward
to
working
with
you
much
much
more.
Thank
you.
C
M
M
I
would
like
to
comment
briefly
on
tonight's
study
session
on
the
east
side,
climate
partnership
in
her
local
agreement,
which
includes
the
Energy
Smart
East
Side
heat
pump
program
as
a
member
for
climate
people
for
climate
action,
I
have
been
included
in
the
heat
bump
program
since
its
Inception
and
I
have
acted
as
a
citizen
ambassador
to
promote
the
program
in
my
neighborhood
in
general,
I'm,
very
impressed
with
how
well
the
program
is
run
and
with
the
quality
of
heat
pump
contractors.
The
program
has
engaged,
however,
I'm
very
concerned.
M
This
program
has
currently
structured
will
not
result
in
very
many
households,
converting
from
gas
furnaces
to
electric
heat
pumps.
The
reason
for
this
concern
is
the
lack
of
incentives
or
payback
on
such
an
expensive
conversion
for
non-low-income
residents,
while
I
strongly
applaud
the
inclusion
of
incentives
for
low-income
residents
in
the
agreement.
If
our
goal
is
to
maximize
residential
electrification,
as
called
for
in
the
ESP,
we
must
incent
many
residents
to
convert.
M
Consider
my
personal
experience.
We
received
a
quote
from
the
program
contractor
for
roughly
twenty
thousand
dollars.
This
is
a
big
investment,
unlike
the
solar
program
which
provided
state-funded
electricity
rebates
to
offset
the
initial
investment
over
time.
There
are
no
such
rebates
or
other
incentives
currently
provided
by
the
state
by
PSE
or
by
the
city
for
this
program.
As
of
now,
the
reasons
to
for
non-incented
households
to
convert
might
include
to
reduce
their
carbon
footprint
to
gain
air
conditioning
in
the
summer
or
to
replace
it
like
end-of-life
gas
furnace.
M
In
my
case,
these
incentives
are.
These
reasons.
Are,
are
good
enough
for
me
to
go
ahead
and
make
that
investment,
but
I'm
concerned
that
others
will
find
these
reasons.
Non-Compelling
the
city
estimates
heating,
our
homes
and
businesses
accounts
for
30
percent
of
our
Collective
carbon
emissions,
since
this
is
currently
our
Flagship
program
aimed
at
reducing
residential
emissions,
I
suggest
the
program
needs
to
work
at
the
state
and
Regional
levels,
as
well
as
with
PSE,
to
develop
a
significant
incentive
scheme
that
will
motivate
a
meaningful
percentage
of
East
Side
residents
to
convert.
M
M
This
should
be
in
addition
to
the
focus
on
helping
low-income
households
and
affordable
housing
developments.
That's
already
in
the
draft
I
also
request
the
council
call
for
an
investigation
on
what
can
be
done
to
develop
a
strong
incentive
program
and
to
analyze
the
conversion
rate
projections
with
or
without
incentives
prior
to
adopting
to
the
agreement.
Thank.
M

Good
evening,
I'm,
Janice,
Hein
and
I'm
from
The
Bridal,
Trails
neighborhood
here
in
miraculous,
Bellevue
and
I,
just
want
to
say,
I'm
talking
about
Christmas
changes.
Everything
and
the
birth
of
Christ
brings
hope
to
the
world
hope
we
see.
Christmas
has
changed
our
calendar
before
and
after
Christ
Christmas
has
the
most
effect
on
our
economy
shopping
kids
wanting
presents.
But
for
me
it
is
the
birth
of
Christ
and
I
want
to
read
you
the
actual
beginning.
N
2000
years
ago,
the
night
in
a
field
near
Bethlehem,
there
were
shepherds
watching
over
their
flux.
Suddenly
an
angel
of
the
Lord
appeared
to
Radiance
it's
radiant
Splinter
before
them
lighting
up
the
field
with
blazing
glory
of
God
and
the
angel
said
don't
be
afraid
for
I've
come
to
bring
good
news.
The
most
joyous
news
the
world
has
ever
heard,
for
it
is
for
everyone
everywhere.
For
today,
in
Bethlehem
a
rescuer
was
born
for
you.
He
is
the
Lord
Yahweh
Messiah.
You
will
recognize
him
by
this
miraculous
sign.
N
You
will
find
a
baby
wrapped
in
a
Manger
in
class
of
clothes.
If
strips
of
clothes
and
lying
in
a
Manger,
then
all
of
a
sudden
multitudes
of
angels
saying
glory
to
God
in
the
highest
in
the
Realms
of
Heaven,
for
there
is
peace
and
good
hope
to
all
men
and
I,
just
want
to
say
Christmas
to
me
is
the
birthday
of
Christ,
because
60
years
ago
somebody
said
to
me:
do
you
know
that
God
sent
his
son
as
a
gift?
N
Why?
Because
he
loves
you
and
you
know,
I
had
never
I
did
not
know.
There
was
a
God
and
I
didn't
I
had
never
in
18
years
been
told
anybody
loves
me
so
I
signed
up
here.
I
am
60
years
later
and
I
testified
you.
He
is
still
alive
and
I
am
a
witness
he's
alive
in
me,
Christ
in
me,
the
hope
of
Glory
and
Merry
Christmas.
All
you
have
envelopes
and
a
little
gift
because
I,
thank
you
so
much
for
being
on
the
city
council.
Thank
you
and
Merry
Christmas
to
all
of
you.
O
Let's
start
with
some
facts,
we
know
there's
a
higher
incidence
of
people
without
homes
in
Bellevue.
We
know
they're
occupying
our
parks,
I've
been
told
by
Bellevue
police
that
they
can't
ask
them
to
leave
unless
they
have
somewhere
else,
they
can
go
which
they
don't.
We
know
our
PMR
people
are
coming
to
Bellevue
because
we
have
good
Parks.
We
know
there's
lots
of
drug
activity
aligned
with
I-90
right
now,
and
we
know
that
some
of
the
mental
illness
and
drug
addiction
can
coincide
with
people
who
are
in
the
Parks.
O
I
have
a
few
incidents
to
share
Cassandra
Oliphant
in
the
early
2000s,
a
mother
of
four
pregnant
was
raped
and
murdered
just
outside
of
Bellevue
College
by
someone
who
is
mentally
ill
in
the
Parks,
and
he
was
dreaming
when
he
did
it.
I
was
on
a
run
with
my
boys.
Early
in
the
morning
saw
a
tent
in
the
woods
a
coyote
kind
of
alarmed
us,
but
really
I
should
have
been
more
concerned
about
this
person
sleeping
in
the
woods.
I
called
the
police
and
they
had
it
removed.
O
This
was
a
few
years
ago,
though,
a
neighbor
was
exposed
and
followed
by
a
man
up
in
the
trail
in
the
Airfield
Park
and
people
have
been
cutting
through
our
yards
back
up
to
the
Greenbelt
trail
and
more
recently,
somebody
rummaged
through
my
car
and
was
most
likely
doing,
Fentanyl
and
meth
exposing
my
children
to
the
yucky
drugs
I'm.
Just
here
to
say,
please
don't
add
a
secluded
Park
and
please
don't
let
them
occupy
any
of
our
parks.
O
Please
give
us
Mom's
safe
places
to
take
our
kids
on
a
run
without
worrying
about
an
occupied
tent
in
the
woods.
Please
let
a
grandmother
walk
their
dog
without
being
stalked
and
exposed
by
a
person
who
just
is
there
in
the
park
and
not
doing
so
well.
Please
help
us
to
feel
safe
in
Bellevue
our
city
within
a
park.
Let's
be
sure
our
parks
are
habitable
and
safe
for
the
citizens
of
Bellevue,
including
the
greenbelts
beyond
our
homes
and
the
trails
that
back
up
to
our
homes.
P
My
name
is
Laura
Logie
and
I
am
a
resident
of
the
neighborhood
that
directly
abuts
Airfield
Park
I
have
two
children,
ages,
7
and
11,
who
have
attended
Spirit,
Ridge
and
now
Tilikum
Middle
School
I
have
a
cat
and
I
raise
chickens
in
my
backyard
almost
every
day,
I
walk
the
trails
that
go
through
the
park
around
the
duck
ponds
and
skirts
the
green
space
that
goes
through
it
through
there
and
I
love
to
see
all
the
wild
animals
that
come
through
there
here
are
the
coyotes
at
night
in
the
summertime
and
just
experience
all
the
wild
birds
and
everything
that
goes
through
that
space.
P
It's
amazing
to
be
able
to
have
the
connection
to
Nature,
having
grown
up
in
Montana,
that's
been
a
very
integral
part
of
my
life.
My
main
concerns
with
the
proposed
development
are
mostly
with
the
proposed
picnic
area
deep
into
that
green
space
having
to
do
with
safety,
destruction
of
the
natural
canopy
and
as
well
a
certain
Wildlife
display
displacement
that
would
happen
with
development.
There.
First
of
all,
as
Lindsay
was
saying,
with
young
children
who
walked
to
school
or
to
the
bus
every
day,
I
need
to
know
that
they're
safe
on
their
Journeys.
P
P
Why
would
we
want
to
eliminate
this
wonderful
resource
for
something
that
I
don't
even
understand
why
we
would
need
it
and
finally-
and
this
one's
a
personal
reason
for
me,
and
that
is
the
wildlife
displacement
as
a
chicken
and
cat
owner
I
appreciate
that
the
wildlife
have
a
place
of
their
own?
We
already
worry
about
frequent
visitors
of
raccoons
who
have
taken
some
of
my
chickens,
but
I
also
know
that
Bobcats,
coyotes,
skunk,
possum
and
birds
of
prey
would
be
displaced
by
the
development
and
use
of
the
park,
especially
into
that
green
space.
P
Q
Good
evening,
mayor
Robinson
and
Deputy
Mayor,
I,
hope,
I
say
this
new
in-house
I'm,
a
Canadian
too
so
I
am
my
name,
is
Camellia
ensler
and
I
live
on
16660
Southeast,
26th
Place
in
Bellevue,
very
close
to
Spirit,
Ridge
and
I
am
here
to
propose
the
idea
of
a
new
bylaw
for
the
permitted
residential
construction
noise,
the
hours
that
it
is
operating
at
this
point.
Q
If
we
go
to
our
website
the
hours
that
the
construction
for
residential
area
is
permitted
at
this
point
is
Monday
through
Friday
from
7
A.M
to
8,
P.M,
Saturday
and
Sundays
from
9
00
a.m,
till
8
P.M,
there's
no
other
days
with
no
noise
permitted.
So
this
allows
over
12
hours
of
constant
drilling,
hammering
usage
of
machinery
and
other
necessary
equipment
and
no
break
on
the
weekends
which
can
cause
very
a
very
stressful
environment
for
our
residents,
who
live
close
to
the
like
right
next
to
the
construction
site.
Q
Not
only
these
hours
can
be
very
harmful
to
our
mental
health,
but
also
they
can
be
very
stressful
for
those
who
work
from
home
and
now
commercial
construction.
Noise
is
only
allowed
until
6
PM
in
our
city.
I
understand
this
limit
is
because
of
usage
of
heavy
equipment
which
may
be
used
for
commercial
constructions,
but
if
a
residential
construction
is
right
next
to
your
house,
the
extreme
loud
noises
can
be
just
as
damaging
as
heavy
machinery
by
carrying
the
same
level
of
sound.
Q
Also,
what
is
really
confusing
about
the
bylaw
that
we
have
on
our
website
is
the
the
specifics
of
what
level
of
sound
or
the
usage
of
what
type
of
Machinery
is
permitted
for
these
long
hours
in
the
residential
area.
Are
these
hours
being
permitted
for
usage
of
lawnmowers
under
weekends
or
hammering
Nails,
on
our
walls
or
or
is?
Is
it
okay
to
use
very
heavy
equipment
for
residential
constructions
and
since
Coronavirus
pandemic
started
in
2020?
Many
families
are
now
working
from
home.
Q
This
seemed
to
be
a
new
trend
for
many
companies,
as
it
creates
more
flexibility
for
their
employees
by
changing
the
current
permitted
construction
noise
hours
for
the
residential
area
from
8
AM
to
6
pm
on
weekdays
and
9
A.M
to
5
PM
on
Saturdays.
Not
only
this
bylaw
will
allow
more
peace
and
quiet
for
our
residents
during
the
week,
but
also
it
could
generate
revenue
for
the
city
of
Bellevue.
Q
A
So
how
many
more
people
do
we
have?
We
have
a
total
of
six
more.
So
this
is
a
pretty
short
meeting.
I
think
we'll
get
out
of
here
early,
so
we
can
reserve
Zoom
oral
Communications
at
the
end
of
this
meeting.
So
if
you'd
like
to
stay,
please
do,
and
if
you
choose
not
to
please
send
your
comments
into
our
email,
okay,.
A
R
Us
about
it!
Thank
you,
Mary,
council
members.
Tonight
we
do
have
a
report
from
the
Arts
commission
regarding
recommended
funding
allocations
for
the
2023
East
Side
Arts
partnership,
support,
Grant
and
projects
Grant
tonight
after
the
presentation
staff
are
seeking
Council
approve
of
the
emotion
of
the
Arts
commission's
funding
recommendations.
By
way
background,
the
city
has
offered
Community
Arts
and
culture
grants
since
the
early
2000s
as
a
way
to
ensure
residents
and
visitors
can
experience.
R
Innovative,
art
and
diverse
cultural
Traditions
joining
us
this
evening
are
Lori
Hoffman
our
arts
and
Community
manager
of
community
of
the
Community
Development
Department,
now
Maria,
who
we
chair,
Hui?
Who
is
the
chair
of
our
Arts
commission?
Sorry
about
that.
So
with
that
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
to
you,
Lori.
S
Council
members
mayor
Deputy
Mayor,
thank
you
so
much
for
having
us
tonight.
S
S
First
off
we'd
really
like
to
thank
the
council
for
the
additional
one-time
conversion
from
our
CIP
fund
into
the
general
fund
for
our
art
grants
that
money
will
be
used
very
lovingly.
We're
very
excited
about
that.
We
plan
to
use
the
the
recent
conversion
for
project
grants
in
2023.
We
will
open
that
application
up
to
501c3
organizations
providing
arts
and
culture
projects
in
Bellevue.
Any
of
those
organization
will
be
eligible
to
apply.
You
do
not
see
that
those
funds
reflected
in
tonight's
allocation
with
that
I'm
going
to
hand
it
over
to
Maria
Lau
Hui.
T
This
year's
the
Arts
commission
made
some
changes
to
the
annual
grants
and
in
March
Council
approved
the
guiding
principles
for
the
grants
you
see
on
the
slide
in
front
of
you.
These
principles
inform
the
following
changes
to
the
grant.
First,
there
are
two
new
add-on
grants:
opportunities
for
grantees
to
address
underserved
communities
and
to
activate
the
Bell
wet
Art
District
art
Partnerships
are
now
changing
to
a
two-year
funding
cycle
with
applicants
applying
every
two
years
in
South
every
year.
T
For
2023,
the
Arts
commissions
have
a
budget
of
181
thousand
dollars
to
LK.
This
budget
was
a
combination
of
General
operation
funds
and
one-time
grants
from
four
culture
and
the
National
Endowment
for
the
Arts
Arts
organization
and
artists.
Working
in
Bellevue
submitted
53
applications
totaling
over
454.
Thousands
in
funding
requests,
67
percent
increase
from
2022
request.
T
For
2023,
the
allocation
committee
and
arts
commission
have
chosen
to
fund
29
of
the
34
Eastside
Arts
partnership
support
applications
and
16
of
the
19
project
grants
the
committee
score
each
application
based
on
specific
criteria
for
each
type
of
the
Grant,
and
convey
to
discuss
the
scores
and
allocate
Awards
last
month
for
the
two
new
add-on
grants
opportunities.
The
allocations,
Committees
and
arts
commissions
have
chosen
to
fund
three
power
up
for
equal
access
grants
and
five
belowet
bonus
grants.
T
T
And
now
I'm
going
to
introduce
the
three
power
up
for
equal
asset
assets,
Grant
recipients,
which
will
receive
5
000
Grant,
five
thousand
dollar
grant
money
in
addition
to
their
Eastside
partnership
support
grants
these
power-up
grants
are
a
great
way
to
give
additional
supports
to
these
organizations.
Doing
important
works
in
the
art
and
cultural
community.
T
Is
a
non-profit
social
justice,
Arts
organization
whose
mission
is
to
inspire
social
change
through
provoking
South,
Asian,
film,
literature
and
storytelling?
His
fear
serves
close
to
10
000
audiences
per
year
through
its
South
Asian,
film
festival,
literature,
Festival,
South,
Asian,
women,
festival
and
monthly
events.
T
T
T
Music
Works
Northwest
was
also
selected
for
a
power
up
Grand
this
year.
Music
Works
is
a
non-profit
Community,
Music
School
dedicated
to
increasing
access
to
music
education
and
musical
experiences.
They
provide
individual
music
licenses
classes,
ensembles,
music
therapy
and
summer
camps
for
all
ages
and
abilities.
T
Music
work
will
use
its
power
of
Grant
to
strengthen
two
programs:
Belleville
Public
School
outreach
program
and
its
financial
aid.
At
this
assistant
program,
the
public
school
at
which
helps
students
by
giving
them
an
opportunity
to
learn
from
the
instructors
specializing
in
the
instruments
they
play
in
smaller
settings
and
financial
aid
assistance
will
help
students
who
do
not
have
the
financial
resources
to
take
regular
classes
and
lessons
the
third
organization
receiving
the
pile
up
for
equal
access.
Bonus
Grant
is
excuse
me
it's
BC
arts
and
education.
T
T
T
T
T
A
B
E
Yeah,
thank
you
very
much,
Lori
and
Maria.
This
is
this
is
a
really
exciting
time
in
our
whole
progress
in
the
last
year
and
years
before,
and
the
Arts
commission
have
to
tell
everybody
here.
It's
just
an
amazing
group.
I
really
put
this
this
program
together,
worked
with
the
community
and
they're
in
the
middle
of
we're
all
in
the
middle
of
a
great
Renaissance,
I
think
in
arts
and
culture
and
Bellevue
or
growth,
maybe
not
Renaissance.
It
hasn't
been
here
as
much
as
it
has
in
the
past.
E
I
guess:
that's
not
exactly
a
good
way
to
put
it,
but
it's
really
exciting
to
see
the
the
uplift
of
applications
and,
of
course,
what
that
means
is.
E
Our
budgeting
is
always
kind
of
behind,
based
on
what
we've
been
doing
before,
and
so
we,
the
council
and
staff,
took
a
look
at
it
and
next
year
we'll
be
doing
more
and
it's
all
it's
not
just
doing
it
for
the
whole
piece,
but
in
giving
Innovation
you
know
kind
of
helping
with
it
and
not
just
paying
for
the
whole
piece
of
course,
but
it's
it's
really
difficult
in
the
community
to
get
these
pieces
going
and
working
with
the
groups
of
their
non-profits
and
individuals
and
all-
and
it's
it's
a
kind
of
an
interesting
thing,
because
in
the
creative
economy
the
return
on
culture
and
arts
is
great
by
great
magnitude
and
money
to
the
community
overall.
E
But
it's
it's
people
who
are
struggling
still
that
help
with
that.
So
we're
trying
to
balance
that
and
bring
I
think
a
lot
different
Arts
into
the
community
and
again
the
Arts
commission
has
just
done
a
tremendous
job
and
you
know
we're
we're
working
on
this
in
a
lot
of
different
ways
and
I.
Think
again,
it's
it's
just
a
growth
in
Bellevue.
E
It
indicates
one
other
indicator
that
Bellevue
is
changing
and
growing
and-
and
we
need
to
you-
know,
work
together
on
this
and
help
again
through
the
community
and
through
the
city
working
with
people
to
put
together
new
things
and
encourage
people
and
the
more
we
do
that
the
more
we'll
have
for
people
to
go
out
and
enjoy.
So
it's
just
a
really
good
story.
E
But
again
it
goes
back
to
hard
work
by
the
community
people
who
are
doing
the
arts
and
culture
and
also
by
the
staff
and
the
staff
and
the
Arts
Commission.
We
we
have
the
job
and
the
council
to
help
to
get
the
policy
out
and
to
work
with
you
and
all,
and
you
know,
make
the
final
decisions
on
the
money
and
stuff.
E
But
overall
we
we
give
the
policy
and
guidance
but
you're
the
ones
who
really
put
it
together
and
I
have
to
say
I've
been
working
with
the
commission
for
some
time
and
I
think
we're
in
the
best
spot.
We've
been
in
a
long
time
and
thanks
to
you
too,
as
leaders
and
thanks
to
the
commission
and
to
all
the
the
Arts
artists
out
there.
So
this
is,
this
is
a
happy
one
for
us
to
vote
on.
Thank
you.
A
Great
council
member
excuse
me
Barksdale
thank.
D
D
You
know,
I
think
the
value
of
arts
and
culture
helps
people
in
our
community
and
our
diverse
Community
feel
and
see
themselves
in
their
culture
and
our
community
and
I
think
that's
impactful
and
and
plays
a
very
strong
role,
not
only
in
terms
of
continuing
to
grow
as
a
diverse
Community,
but
also
helping
to
retain
our
diverse
community
members.
So
thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
council
members
on.
U
U
Think
that
arts
and
culture
is
a
way
for
us
to
have
those
shared
lived
experiences
together,
as
well
as
learning
about
others
Expressions
through
the
Arts,
because
sometimes
it
can
be
really
tough
topics
to
talk
about,
and
so
I
would
just
say
that,
as
we
move
forward,
I'm
really
glad
that
we
are
looking
at
increasing
the
budget,
as
well
as
the
number
of
different
ways
that
that
our
community
can
express
through
the
Arts
and
I
know.
We
see
more
arts
on
our
walls
out
on
in
City,
Hall
and
I.
U
V
I
want
to
thank
the
commission
and
also
the
staff
for
working
on
behalf
of
the
council.
Yeah.
You
know
early
on.
We
have
the
Public
Communication.
You
know
we
heard
that
faith.
Hope
love.
You
know,
I
mean
that's
what
human
aspires
to
it's
a
lot
easier
to
talk
about
money
roads
to
measure.
You
know
quantities,
but
it's
very
hard
to
measure
quality.
What
you're
doing
Arts
is
quality.
It's.
How
do
you
affect
people?
V
How
do
you
change
people
right
now
we're
talking
about
how
to
bring
people
together,
I
think
we
all
see
or
have
seen
the
last
few
years
how
people
are
divided
and
people
are
struggling.
You
know,
politics
are
very
divided.
We
are
very
polarized,
you
know
we
talk
about
religions,
talk
about
everything
else,
but
art
and
culture
brings
people
together
because
we're
looking
at
the
same
thing
that
appeals
a
drive
Inspire
us,
so
you
you
know
unify
you.
You
know
Vision
that
we
aspire
to.
So
it's
very
challenging.
It's
not
easy.
V
So
how
do
we
measure
it?
How
do
we
choose
it?
How
do
we
pick
it
and
I
think
that's,
hopefully
we'll
work
on
those
things.
I
think
we
are
agreeable
so
you're,
but
I
always
also
say
that
the
devil
is
in
the
detail.
We
all
agree
on
the
vision.
It's
easy,
why
not?
We
all
want
to
talk
to
each
other.
We
all
love
the
same
things.
We
all
want
to
love
everybody,
but
how
many
people
really
love
everybody?
V
V
You
know
the
culture,
the
odds
that
people
do
enjoy
them
together,
celebrate
together,
work
together,
bring
people
together
not
to
separate
them,
I
think
that's
the
key
and
I
think
you're
making
an
effort
to
do
that.
You
know
because
you
have
the
medium
opportunity
and
we
trust
you.
We
appreciate
the
work
that
you
have
to
do
and
you
get
criticisms,
but
you
get
very
few
praise.
You
know
right,
but
the.
V
L
B
And
Lori,
thank
you
so
much
for
the
presentation
and
thank
you
to
all
the
members
of
the
Arts
commission
for
working
on
this
I'm,
very
supportive
of
what
we're
bringing
forward
here
tonight
and
and
the
allocations
and
and
and
not
that
and
obviously
what
you've
heard
tonight
is
that
we
all
care
passionately
about
the
Arts
I
hope
that's
come
through
loud
and
clear,
and
hence
why
we
made
an
adjustment
in
our
budget
to
even
allow
for
a
larger
budget
or
funding
allocation
for
for
this
year.
B
So
one
question
I
did
have
and
which
I
think
creates
a
stronger
reasoning
to
boost
budgets
in
the
future
for
the
Arts.
As
we
constantly
hear
you
know,
one
dollar
spent
in
The
Yards
usually
brings
in
four
to
five
dollars
back
into
the
back
into
the
city.
So
I'm
curious.
If
and
if
you
don't
have
it
right
now,
you
can
always
come
back
to
me
privately,
but
I'm
curious.
B
S
I
can
tell
you
a
national
average,
the
last
time
Americans
for
the
Arts
did
arts
and
economic
prosperity.
It's
a
national
study.
They
found
that
on
average,
a
audience
member,
a
participant
in
an
Arts
activity
spent
in
addition
to
the
price
of
their
ticket
and
another,
an
additional
33
dollars
in
the
community.
Now
that
survey
was
about
six
years
ago
and
it's
a
national
average
we're
currently
in
the
process
of
studying
that
number
for
now
and
for
Bellevue,
so
about
pardon
me,
October
or
November
of
this
year.
A
Yeah,
thank
you
so
much
well,
I'm
really
excited
to
experience
what
this
will
fund.
So
thank
you
for
coming
tonight.
Thank
you.
A
I
know
we're
gonna
vote,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
opposed.
Okay,
it
passes
excellent
I
know
it
didn't
it
sounded
iffy.
A
R
Yes,
that's
correct
mayor.
The
first
item
is
just
a
written
quarterly
update
on
the
city's
recent
Economic
Development
activity.
It
comes
to
you
in
your
under
City
manager's
report
in
your
package
this
evening.
If
there
are
questions,
please
feel
to
reach
out
to
the
staff
for
both
the
council
and
the
viewing
public.
The
second
item
is
a
really
good
news
item
and
that
is
the
Bellevue
Essentials.
This
study's
cities
just
completed
it's
11
week,
civics
class
has
this
is
the
10th
year
anniversary
of
it
now
we've
had
over
340
graduates.
R
Neighborhood
services
within
the
city
has
will
host
the
public
celebration
of
the
anniversary
this
Wednesday
evening
at
City,
Hall
and
I.
Just
would
like
to
welcome
Julie
ellenhorn,
our
community
relations
coordinator
and
two
graduates
this
year,
Angela
Chung
and
Abigail
Brown
to
share
the
program's
outcomes
and
Community
impact
over
the
past
10
years,
and
with
that
I'm
going
to
turn
over
to
you
to
kick
this
off
Julie.
X
There
we
go
great,
so
Bellevue
Essentials,
as
I
said,
launched
in
2013.
We
just
completed
our
10th
year
of
the
program,
and
the
program
was
designed
with
some
goals
in
mind.
We
wanted
to
expose
participants
of
the
program
to
the
daily
operations
of
city
government,
just
help
them
learn.
What
do
we
do
here
every
day
and
to
build
familiarity
with
government
process
and
decision
making
so
that
they
would
be
comfortable
interacting
with
City
staff
and
Leadership
and
being
a
part
of
what
happens
here
in
Bellevue?
X
And
lastly,
we
wanted
to
create
a
network
of
engaged,
knowledgeable
individuals
who
are
available
to
serve
the
city
and
the
broader
community
and
who
remain
active
over
time.
So
we've
looked
back
at
the
past
10
years
and
I'm
proud
to
say
that
I
think
we've
met
these
goals.
Our
demand
remains
strong
for
the
program
we
average
61
applicants
each
year
for
our
35
spaces.
X
We
have
about
40
percent
male
60
percent
female
attending
our
program
and
over
the
10
years,
an
average
of
47
percent
people
of
color,
which
reflects
our
community
demographics,
as
they
have
changed
over
the
years
and
we've
seen
a
huge
increase
from
when
we
started
10
years
ago
to
to
where
we
are.
Today.
We
also
have,
in
nearly
every
year
every
year
represented
all
16
of
our
neighborhood
areas.
Here
in
Bellevue.
X
Our
curriculum
has
evolved
over
the
10
years,
learning
things
from
how
to
handle
a
fire
host
to
witnessing
emergency
medical.
Sorry,
demonstrations
visiting
the
police
evidence
room
seeing
behind
the
scenes,
how
storm
water
and
sewers
work
touring
development
in
the
Spring
District
visiting
Parks,
Master
planning,
different
projects
in
interactive
exercises
and
exploring
the
changing
demographics
and
diversity
in
our
community.
Each
cohort
spends
10
weeks
learning
and
exploring
Bellevue
and
the
bonuses
they
develop
relationships
not
only
with
their
peers
in
the
class,
but
with
City
staff
and
City
leadership
and
with
you.
X
So
often
at
the
end
of
class,
we
ask
our
graduates
to
reflect
on
their
Bellevue
Essentials
experience
in
just
a
word
or
two.
So
I
just
want
to
give
you
a
moment
to
look
at
some
of
the
things
that
we
hear
engaging,
empowering
impactful
comprehensive
insightful,
the
list
the
list
goes
on
so
after
going
through
Bellevue
Essentials.
How
do
these
graduates
give
back
to
our
community
so
over
the
10
years,
we've.
X
It
has
a
mind
of
its
own,
it
does
it
keeps
moving
I
didn't
do
it,
so
we
won't
worry
about
it
for
now,
so
we've
had
58
as
I
said
boarding,
commission
members
they
serve
as
Leaders,
also
in
their
neighborhoods
our
graduates,
and
they
are
regularly
tapped
as
knowledgeable
resources
for
City
projects,
City
committees,
surveys
and
they
provide
Community
voice
on
issues
all
the
time.
X
Bellevue
Essentials
provides
a
pathway
for
people
to
engage
and
you'll,
see
our
graduates
everywhere,
I'm
going
to
try
to
get
back
to
that
you'll
see
our
graduates
everywhere,
slide
they're
immersed
at
the
city,
but
also
in
the
community.
We
have
graduates
who
are
volunteering
at
hopelink
in
the
Bellevue
School
District,
the
Bellevue
Art
Museum
Jubilee
reach,
Mary's,
Place,
Life
Spring,
and
many
many
more
organizations
throughout
Bellevue
making
us
a
stronger,
healthier
Community.
X
Every
year,
Bellevue
essential
staff
has
also
mentored
staff
at
many
other
cities
around
the
region
to
help
them
create
Civic
engagement
programs
and
make
for
a
stronger
region
as
well.
So
we're
gonna
now
go
to
our
graduates.
I'm
happy
to
welcome
Abigail
Brown
who's,
going
to
speak
as
a
member
of
the
class
of
2021
and
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
her
experience
and
then
Angela
Chung
from
our
class
of
2020..
Y
There
you
go.
Can
you
hear
me?
Okay?
This
is
a
really
rare
and
special
opportunity
for
me.
I
do
see
a
familiar
faces
here.
Some
I
met
from
the
class,
but
also
some
from
other
engagements
that
I've
had
recently
and
also
very
much
in
the
past.
Y
So
this
is
interesting
for
me
because
this
isn't
the
first
time
I've
spoken
before
in
the
council
when
I
was
in
high
school
I
actually
came
here
and
I
spoke
before
the
council
as
an
Engaged
citizen,
someone
who
had
grown
up
here
and
gone
to
all
the
schools-
and
it
was
a
land
use
issue
and
I
won't
get
further
into
that.
But
you
can
imagine
land
use
issues
are
a
big
thing
here
and
then,
after
that,
I
ended
up
working
for
the
mayor
in
the
city.
Y
Council
I
worked
for
the
city
for
some
time
and
then,
after
that
life
kind
of
gets
in
the
way
I
went
off
to
law.
School
I
worked
for
the
Department
of
Justice,
biotech
high
tech
I'm
in
software
now
and
now,
I'm
back
I'm
back
again
as
I
get
engaged
citizen
and
the
interesting
thing
about
that
is
I
thought
I
knew
about
the
city
and
then
someone
said
you
should
check
out
this
class
called
Bellevue,
Essentials
and
I
was
like
I
used
to
work
for
the
city
and
I
like
yeah.
Some
things
have
changed.
Y
Y
You
know
how
many
great
things
had
happened
since
the
time
I
had
actually
worked
for
the
city
and
since
I
was
in
high
school,
so
I'm
much
older,
now
and
and
getting
re-engaged
and
two
of
those
two
of
those
options.
Right
now
for
me
are
both
the
Bellevue
2044
planning,
strategy,
team
and
I'm
also
serving
as
the
chair
of
the
Bellevue
Network
on
Aging.
Y
So
my
goal
now
and
some
of
you
actually
seen
me
there-
my
goal
now
is
to
make
sure
that
every
time
we
plan
or
look
at
anything
within
the
city
of
Bellevue,
that
we
run
it
through
the
prism
of
how
it
can
impact
the
seniors
that
live
in
our
city
and
I.
Think
I
have
probably
Bellevue
Essentials
to
thank
for
a
lot
of
this,
because
it's
helped
me
become
reconnected
and
re-engaged.
You
know
across
many
different
departments
in
the
city
to
help
in
that
effort.
Y
So
also
I
have
one
more
thing
to
say:
I
didn't
have
the
experience
that
you
saw
in
the
photographs
above
I
was
in
the
first
all
virtual
class.
So
it's
a
testament
to
not
only
the
folks
who
put
it
together
because
it
was
a
very
it
was
the
covet
class,
but
I
still
felt
that
it
was
an
invaluable
experience,
still
very
engaging
still
very
helpful
and
inspiring,
even
though
it
was
all
virtual.
So
we
can
do
it
both
ways.
Z
I
I
would
like
to
I'm
Angela,
Chung
and
I'd
like
to
thank
city
council,
City
leadership
and
all
the
staff
for
supporting
Bellevue
Essentials
program
over
the
past
10
years.
I
am
a
long
time
committee
volunteer
in
Bellevue
and
Beyond
and
a
parent
of
two
children.
D
Z
Have
been
in
Bellevue
as
a
resident
in
the
somerset
area
for
about
16
years,
I'd
like
to
say,
I,
bring
a
lot
of
my
lived
experience,
Knowledge
and
Skills
as
a
community
volunteer,
but
also
as
a
business
advisor
and
attorney
to
some
of
my
volunteer
roles
and
how
I
engage
with
my
neighbors
in
Residence
and
I'd
like
to
you
know,
contribute
to
a
better
tomorrow.
I
guess
see.
This
is
the
first
time
I've
actually
spoken
to
city,
council
or,
and
in
a
group
like
this
so
and
yeah
so
I'm
a
little
bit
nervous.
Z
So
sorry
about
that,
let's
see
I'm
a
member
of
the
2020
class,
which
was
also
a
virtual
class
in
in
for
Bellevue
Essentials,
and
that
year
was
as
we
can
all
probably
agree.
It
was
a
really
interesting
year
what
the
world
similarly
went
on
pause.
We
all
in
a
way
it
was
one
of
the
best
years,
I
feel
to
have
taken
the
course.
Z
It
was
a
year
of
listening
earlier,
a
year
of
bearing
witness
to
what
seems
to
have
felt
like
a
cumulative
tragedy
of
Commons
in
some
way,
resulting
in
a
series
of
challenges
in
Health,
social,
humanitarian,
political,
economic
and
other
systems,
but
at
the
same
time
we
found
compassion.
We
witnessed
a
lot
of
just
incredible
people,
catalyzed
to
speak
up,
sometimes
for
the
first
time,
taking
action
to
engage
in
courageous
conversations
that
were
full
of
inspiration.
Z
I
was
really
impressed
with
the
city
of
Bellevue
and
I'm,
very
honored
and
privileged
to
live
in
the
city
and
I'm.
Through
the
program
you
know,
I
I
said
it
was
a
little
bit
of
a
challenging
year
for
everybody,
but
I
was
really
inspired
by
the
Mata
thought.
Staff
puts
into
the
work
here
in
in
the
city,
the
thoughtfulness,
the
the
engagement
of
the
citizens
and
actually
sitting
here
right
now
and
listening
to
all
the
people
speak,
it's
been
really
inspiring.
Z
Z
You
know
you
all
know
about
the
growth
and
the
challenges
with
Transit
and
the
diversity
of
the
greatness
of
that
and
how
we
make
that
work
and
how
we
also
maybe
give
voices
to
who's,
not
in
the
room
and
who's,
not
speaking
up
who
might
not
have
that
level
of
comfort
and
engagement,
or
maybe
cultural
norms,
to
be
able
to
do
that.
So
I
really
am
impressed
with
so
many
departments,
really
asking
what
really
valuable
questions
and
having
these
conversations,
and
so
so
yeah
I
serve
in
a
lot
of
different
capacities.
Z
I've
actually
been
on
the
in
the
did
a
little
bit.
Conciliation
and
mediation
work
with
your
conflict
resolution,
Department
thinking
a
little
bit
about
affordable
housing
and
the
equity
concerns
relating
to
that
I'm.
Under
your
police
advisory
Council
for
the
API
Community
featuring
beadon
over
the
years
prior
to
be
available,
Essentials
I
was
working
on
a
council
with
Emergency
Management.
Z
So
what
the
list
goes
on,
but
I'm
very
involved
in
neighborhood
I've
met
a
lot
of
you
in
different
capacities
by
this
person.
I've
actually
seen
you
all
together,
so
I
just
wanted
to
spend
time
to.
Thank
you
all
for
providing
a
really
wonderful
program.
The
staff
has
been
remarkable
during
the
pandemic.
They
shifted
and
they
pivoted
and
it
was.
It
was
pretty
remarkable
how
we
were
able
to
just
continue
that
commitment
to
engagement,
to
hearing
voices
to
informing
everyone,
so
that
we
could
all
do
a
little
bit
better.
So
everyone
thank
you.
Yeah.
X
Abigail
and
Angela
are
certainly
terrific
examples
of
how
our
graduates
get
involved
and
I
want.
To
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
this
Wednesday
night,
our
10th
anniversary,
our
2022
cohort
of
35,
will
graduate
in
conjunction
with
our
big

two.
S
X
Need
to
come
and
meet
and
hear
what
they
are
doing
to
make
our
city
a
better
place.
We'll
have
our
community
partner
sponsors
with
us
Wednesday
night
over
30
staff
people,
many
of
whom
teach
in
the
course
every
year
and
over
100
community
members
coming
out
to
recognize
and
celebrate
Civic
engagement
here

Bellevue.
So
I
look
forward
to
seeing
you

A

So
tonight
staff
are
seeking
Council
consideration
to
bring
this
back
at
a
future
council
meeting
and
just
with
that
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
this
over
to
Neil
King
planning,
director
and
Jennifer
Ewing
environmental
stewardship
program
manager,
both
from
the
Community
Development
Department
Emil.
AA
Thank
you
for
the
introduction
city
manager,
Miyaki
and
good
evening,
mayor
Deputy,
Mayor
and
members
of
council
staff
are
really
excited
to
bring
forward
this
interlocal
agreement
tonight,
as
we
now
enter
into
year,
three
of
implementation
of
the
environmental
stewardship
plan,
we're
always
looking
for
new
ways
to
implement
the
actions
in
the
plan
before
we
get
into
the
presentation.
I'll
just
offer
up
a
few
brief
comments.
Staff
are
always
looking
for
ways
to
increase
both
efficiency
and
effectiveness
of
our
programs,
and
this
is
a
key
way
of
doing
it.
AA
It
really
is
a
good
news
story
about
a
thoughtful
collaboration
among
East
Side
cities
that
is
going
to
have
measurable
results
as
you'll
hear
about
tonight.
So
we
do
have
a
short
presentation.
Jennifer
is
going
to
do
and
then
we
can
answer
any
questions
or
hear
feedback
from
the
council
afterwards,.
L
Great
thank
you.
Thank
you
good
evening,
mayor
Robinson,
Deputy,
Mayor,
newenhouse
and
members
of
the
council
again
excited
to
talk
to
you
this
evening
about
the
East
Side
climate
partnership,
interlocal
agreement.
We
are
looking
for
direction
to
bring
the
interlocal
agreement
back
for
approval
at
a
future
meeting.
So
to
give
you
a
bit
of
an
overview
of
the
interlocal
agreement,
the
parties
involved
are
the
cities
of
Bellevue
Kirkland,
Redmond,
Issaquah
and
Mercer
Island.
L
This
came
about
as
Emil
mentioned,
we're
wrapping
up
year,
two
of
implementation
of
our
environmental
stewardship
plan.
Around
the
same
time,
we,
the
council,
adopted
bellevue's
environmental
stewardship
plan,
Kirkland
and
Redmond
also
had
their
plans
adopted
by
their
city
councils
and
Mercer
Island
in
Issaquah
were
on
the
way
to
completing
their
plans.
L
So
we
were
kind
of
sharing
information
during
the
planning
process
us
and
when
we
all
had
our
plans
adopted
we're
really
looking
for
opportunities
to
collaborate
to
implement
our
plans,
so
this
is
kind
of
borne
out
of
that
effort
over
the
past
couple
of
years.
L
The
main
focus
of
the
collaboration
will
be
to
manage
the
Energy
Smart
East
Side
program,
which
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
the
interlocal
allows
us
to
you
know:
do
things
like
joint
procurement
and
Partnerships,
of
course,
leverage
economies
of
scale
and
our
shared
funding,
and
then
what
we're?
The
big
thing
we're
excited
about
is
looking
to
hire
a
shared,
limited
term
staff
position
to
manage
this
program,
so
pooling
funds
from
the
the
five
cities
to
hire
a
new
position.
L
The
Ila
does
include
Provisions
to
for
other
cities
to
join
in
the
future.
These
five
cities,
you
know,
have
a
history
of
working
together
on
the
east
side
and
as
part
of
the
k4c
and
kind
of
came
together,
because
you
know
part
of
the
partnership
has
really
been
sort
of
similar
priorities,
at
the
same
time,
with
similar
abilities
to
really
move
those
prior
parties
forward
in
terms
of
Staff
capacity
and
funding.
So
that's
kind
of
some
of
the
secret
to
what
has
been
making
this.
L
This
partnership
work,
but
yeah
again
we
are
open
to
other
cities
joining
in
the
future.
So,
as
I
mentioned,
the
Ila,
the
intent
of
it,
is
to
manage
the
Energy
Smart
East
Side
program.
I,
think
I
have
spoken
about
this
program
in
past
Council
updates
and
in
the
most
recent
written
update
to
council
as
part
of
the
environmental
stewardship
initiative,
quarterly
update
we're
really
excited
about
this
program.
It
is
our
signature
program
for
supporting
Energy
Efficiency
in
Residential
Properties
in
in
Bellevue
and
on
the
east
side.
L
We
are
right
now
focused
on
heat
pumps
and
heating
in
homes,
because
that
is
the
largest
energy
source,
but
we're
definitely
you
know
interested
in
expanding
the
program
over
time,
which
is
also
why
we
called
it
Energy
Smart,
East
Side.
We
definitely
don't
want
to
stop
at
heat
pumps,
but
thought
that
was
a
great
place
to
start.
When
we
started
work
on
this
program,
we
you
know
we're
using
the
funding
we
had
shortly.
Thereafter,
the
bipartisan
and
infrastructure
law
was
passed,
which
includes
a
lot
of
great
excuse
me,
not
the
bil.
L
The
inflation
reduction
Act
was
passed
this
past
summer,
which
includes
a
lot
of
great
incentives
for
people
to
install
heat
pumps
and
other
Energy
Efficiency
measures.
So
we've
been
really
evolving
the
program
pretty
rapidly
over
the
past
six
months
to
share
information
about
inflation
reduction,
Act
tax
credits
and
incentives.
Those
will
all
take
effect
next
year,
so
kind
of
getting
our
residents
ready
for
that.
L
So
the
the
federal
tax
credits
are
available
next
year
and
then
there
will
be
more
incentives
coming
through
the
inflation
reduction
act
through
a
program
the
state
will
be
setting
up
so
again,
this
space
kind
of
continues
to
be
evolving,
so
we
kind
of
anticipate
our
program
will
will
grow
and
evolve
over
time
as
some
of
these
additional
funding
sources
come
into
play,
and
then
we
also
we've
put
in
place
a
number
of
different
Partnerships
or
are
working
on
those
with
a
heat
pump.
Distributor
spark
Northwest
is
a
nonprofit
we're
working
with
on
the
program.
L
L
We
are
looking
to
work
with
hopelink,
which
is
you
know,
of
course,
one
of
our
main
Human
Services
providers.
That
also
has
an
energy
program
so
looking
to
leverage
their
expertise
and
contacts
of
residents
who've
needed
energy
assistance,
we're
looking
at
those
folks
as
some
of
the
the
people
who
could
definitely
benefit
the
most
from
this
program.
So
yeah
that's
kind
of
a
quick
overview.
L
There's
a
lot
more
details
behind
it,
but
one
of
the
other
things
the
Ila
will
help
us
do
is
really
kind
of
formalize
our
partnership
to
help
us
go
after
more
grant
funding.
We're
really
excited
about
this
WSU
Grant
and
are
already
you
know,
continuing
to
look
for
for
more
funding
opportunities
and
I.
Think
funders
always
want
to
see
Partnerships
and
collaborations
and
matches,
and
that
sort
of
thing
and-
and
so
we
bring
all
of
that
to
the
table,
which
is
great
so
just
yeah
quickly.
Some
of
the
background.
L
All
five
cities
are
part
of
the
King
County
cities,
climate
collaboration,
and
we
we
certainly
don't
want
to
this-
to
supplant
our
collaboration
in
the
k4c
or
take
the
place
of
it.
Anything
like
that,
where
all
five
you
know
active
members
in
that
group,
but
also
wanted
to
sort
of
collaborate
more
on
the
sort
of
program
level
through
the
East
Side
climate
partnership.
We
are
also
looking
at
how
we
can
you
know
share
some
of
our
lessons
learned
with
some
of
the
other
smaller
cities
in
the
k4c.
L
So
you
know
are
aware
that
you
know
some
of
our
cities
do
have
more
funding,
so
do
definitely
want
to
do
what
we
can
to
help
accelerate
climate
action
in
some
of
the
other
cities.
With
with
some
of
our
lessons
learned
and
resources
or
best
practice,
guidance,
I
should
say,
and
then
you
know,
the
idea
of
this
collaboration
really
came
from
some
of
the
other
collaborations
we
have
on
the
east
side,
such
as
with
startup
425
Innovation
triangle.
L
We
do
a
lot
of
work
with
other
East
Side
cities
on
Human,
Services
programming
and
Contracting
and
I.
Think
we've
seen
a
lot
of
great
success
in
those
different
areas,
so
we,
you
know,
really
looked
at
sort
of
how
some
of
those
Partnerships
were
organized.
Our
partnership
is
similar,
but
not
necessarily
exactly
the
same,
but
we
were
definitely
you
know
inspired
by
some
of
the
work
we've
done
there
and
we've
also
worked
in
the
past
with
the
other
East
Side
cities
on
some
different
programs,
like
the
solar
ice
campaigns.
L
So
yeah
to
to
summarize,
the
interlocal
agreement
will
really
kind
of
help
lay
the
foundation
for
the
Energy
Smart
East
Side
campaign
now,
but
for
really
future
collaboration
on
climate
action
with
the
the
five
East
Side
cities,
so
we're
asking
for
direction
from
Council
on
next
steps
with
the
interlocal
agreement.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
A
Great,
let's
start
with
emotion,.
B
U
Yeah,
thank
you
so
much
Emil
and
Jennifer
I'm
super
excited
about
this,
because
I
think
that
this
is
how
we
were
able
to
take
our
resources,
which
we
were
able
to
increase
on
the
budget
and
and
leverage
it
even
more.
So
when
you
talk
about
joint
operating
budget
Cooperative
Contracting,
what
I
hear
is
that
we
get
more
buying
power
and
potentially
we
can
do
more
with
less
over
time,
especially
as
we
get
other
cities
in
I
just
want
to
confirm
a
couple
of
things.
U
One
I
like
the
fact
that
we
can
expand
to
other
cities,
so
I
think
I
was
clear
on
I
heard
that
you
talked
about
the
right
now,
it's
the
heat
pump
program
as
a
current
focus
and
the
Energy
Smart
east
side.
When
I
read
the
Ila,
it
talks
about
the
fact
that
the
this
Ila
is
not
only
on
the
energy
side.
The
way
I
read
it
is
sustainability
and
climate
change
related
Outreach
coordination,
funding
and
resources.
Is
that
right?
U
W
L
Possible
to
cover
our
climate
and
sustainability
work.
You
know
right
now.
The
focus
is
on
the
Energy
Smart
east
side,
but
we
did
want
to
lay
the
foundation,
so
we
could
use
this
Ila
for
other.
You
know,
programs
in
the
future.
U
So
it
could
be
even
related
to
recycling
or
other
aspects
of
that
and
then
my
other
question
is
at
the
state
level.
They
do
have
the
Esco
contracts
that
helps
with
really
understanding
energy
usage.
So
do
you
see
a
program
like
this
as
one
that
also
helps
educate
the
cities,
Within
These
programs
and
existing
building
owners
about
that
potential
program
as
well?
So
if
there's
already
I
guess,
my
point
is:
if
there's
already
another
contract
that
exists,
this
Ila
could
also
educate
us
about
what
these
resources
are.
L
Yeah,
potentially
I
think
you
know
we
are
right.
Now
we
have
one
program:
that's
really
together
on
the
Energy
Smart
East
Side.
We
also
you
know.
Some
of
the
cities
have
different
budgets,
and
so
we
also
have
some
sort
of
individual
programs
where
there's
some
overlap
but
yeah.
This
could
allow
us
to
have
more
shared
contracts
and
we're
definitely
kind
of
sharing
information,
so,
for
instance,
Bellevue
started.
L
We
started
our
clean
buildings
incentive
program
first
to
support
commercial
buildings
and
complying
with
the
Washington
State
clean
buildings
act
and
also
pursuing
the
early
adopter
incentives.
Issaquah
started
up
a
similar
program
focused
on
Issaquah
Redmond
is
looking
to
start
up
a
similar
program.
So
for
some
things
we
may
move
together
for
others.
You
know
in
this
case
we
you
know
based
on
sort
of
capacity
and
resources
have
been
kind
of
learning
from
each
other,
but
a
little
bit
separate.
Okay,.
L
That
right,
yeah,
okay,
so
yeah
all
the
cities
are
on
the
same
budgeting,
they're,
biennium,
budgeting
time
frame,
so
I
think
every
all
the
other
cities
I
think
have
all
had
their
budget
adopted.
Or
it's
going
to
be.
You
know
this
week
so
yeah
pending
confirmation
of
their
budgets,
but
it
all
looks
promising.
That's.
U
Wonderful,
thank
you.
Councilmember
lee.
V
Thank
you
mad
at
me.
My
question
is
this:
is
not
too
dilute
or
replace
or
somehow
affect
our
own
ESI
program
right.
This
is
just
another
way
to
enhance
to
develop
our
environmental
stewardship
program.
By
having
this
IIA
with
other
cities,
I
mean
we
are
working
collaboratively
on
some
specific
programs.
V
Doesn't
detract
from
what
we
are
doing?
Yep?
Okay,
so
it's
any
addition.
Yes,
I
hope,
senior,
Edition,
okay,
so
from
that
perspective,
I
think
it's
a
I'm,
I'm
I
appreciate
this.
It's
good
because
we
know
that
you
know
environmental
climate
change
is
getting
to
be
real
and
real,
more
and
more
real,
and
so
it's
no
longer
just
deferred.
So
I
think
people
have
heard
people
want
to
have
more
programs,
and
so
we've
had
some
comments
today
from
the
audience.
Are
they
the
question
they
asked?
V
Are
they
relevant
to
what
we're
doing
with
Ira,
or
are
we
doing
those
things
they
are
requesting
our
own
in
our
Smart
City
programs?
Anyway?
What's
the
question?
They
say
they
want
a
heat
pump
right.
They
be
and
I
kind
of
agree
with
them
in
some
way,
because
the
heat
pump
program
is
spelled
out
in
the
ira.
With
the
other
cities,
we
will
work
with,
maybe
just
affordable
housing
just
with
a
limited
implementation.
V
What
I
think
but
the
what
I
heard
from
the
public
is.
We
really
need
to
encourage
the
overall
public
to
do
more
of
that,
because
this
makes
a
lot
bigger,
big
impact
right
to
the
community.
So
what's
the
answer,
are
we
doing
that
anyway?
Or
are
we
doing
this
and
not
doing
the
other
heat
pump
for
the
general
Community.
L
Yeah
we're
we're
doing
both,
so
we
set
up
the
program
initially
with
education
and
Outreach
for
everyone,
and
then
you
know
allocated
some
funding
to
low-income
heat
pump
installations
and
and
then
we,
you
know,
received
the
grant
pretty
soon
after
getting
the
program
started,
so
that
will
allow
so
it's
taken
a
little
while
to
get
the
grant
agreement
in
place,
but
that
will
allow
for
additional
incentives
for
more
moderate
or
average
income
household.
So
we're
looking
to
do
both
I
think.
You
know
we
want
to
support
both.
L
V
So
we're
doing
parallel
tracks,
yeah,
okay,
my
question
is:
would
one
kind
of
distracted
from
the
other
you
know
I
mean,
do
you
have
the
resources
to
say
we
can
do
both?
Well,
if
we're
doing
this?
Well,
maybe
we
can
let
the
other
slide.
What's
your
answer?
Well,.
H
L
To
yeah
have
more
capacity
to
work
on
this
because,
right
now
we
have
you
know
five
staff
people
from
the
different
cities
leading
it
all
up,
but
yeah,
no
I,
don't
I,
don't
think
one
will
necessarily
detract
from
the
other
I
think.
There's
opportunities
for
both,
hopefully
yeah.
V
Each
can
help
the
others
yeah.
Hopefully
the
IRA
we're
looking
at
can
help
the
whole
city
of
Bella
as
well
yeah.
My
second
question
is,
you
know,
I
mentioned
when
we
talk
about
Halloween
ESI
program,
I
asked
about
a
solar
panel
and
so
the
water
heating.
You
know,
that's
not
part
of
the
IRA
right.
We
don't
have.
L
V
L
V
E
It
like
I,
said
I'll
put
on
the
green,
no
I
think
this
is
very
exciting.
It's
and
it's
not
something
we're
jumping
into
a
new
we've
been
doing
things
like
Arch
and
Innovation
triangle,
k4c,
which
is
larger,
King,
County,
Housing
Authority,
you
know
King
County,
a
homeless
Authority.
E
The
all
of
these
problems
are
are
challenges
are
not
within
our
boundaries.
We
don't
have
little.
You
know
artificial
things.
That
say
we
only
have
this
in
this
city,
so
we're
working
together
and
we
found
that
collaboration
and
acting
in
Innovation
ways
and
learning
from
each
other
is
a
very
powerful
way
to
get
it
done,
because
the
problems
are
Regional
they're.
You
know
their
National
or
worldwide,
but
we're
attacking
it
from
this
area,
and
we
all
are
living
together
and
working
together
and
and
then
we
also
can
do
separate
actions.
E
We
can
do
things
that
we
do
that
are
maybe
just
Universal
to
us
and
we
have
Kirkland
is
doing
some
things
different
now
that
we're
probably
working
to
catch
up
with
and
same
thing
with
Redmond,
but
as
this
is
set
up.
Obviously,
the
city
of
Bellevue
is
a
larger
City.
More
resources,
bigger
and
all
this
and
we're
in
a
leadership
role,
which
is
really
good
and
I,
think
councilmember
release.
Questions
are
very
good
in
terms
of
how
does
this
affect
work,
we're
doing
and
I
think.
E
The
answer
is
that
one
is
we
have
oversight
and,
secondly,
that
we're
all
working
together
on
it,
and
if
we
have
something
that's
Innovative,
we
can
work
with
the
other
cities
or
if
they
come
up
with
something
we'll
learn
more
and
we
again
these
artificial
boundaries.
Don't
you
know,
keep
the
more
heat
here
and
not
over
here.
E
So
it's
it's
really
a
very
good
step,
positive
step
forward
to
actually
get
things
done,
because
we
can't
do
it
all
by
ourselves
and
it
sounds
like
you've
really
set
this
up
in
a
very
good
way
to
make
sure
that
it
works.
That's
the
biggest
problem
in
working.
You
know
with
different
groups
of
people.
Is
you
don't
have
a
structure
that
makes
it
work,
but
I
think
this
is
we've
learned
a
lot
from
the
years
of
having
things
set
up
and
not
work?
Well,
so
I'm
very
pleased
with
it.
E
I
think
it's
a
great
step
forward
and
you
will
you
know
we'll
we'll
get
reports
from
time
to
time.
We
can
get
involved
in
this
again.
I
think
it's
just
another
example
of
Bellevue
stepping
forward
and
leading
and
also
leading
in
a
very
positive
and
collaborative
and
cohesive
action.
So
thank
you
great.
A
Thank
you,
Deputy
Mayor.
Do
you
have
any
comments,
questions.
B
Thank
you
great
job,
Jennifer
and
DeMille.
Thank
you
so
much
for
bringing
this
forward
very
supportive
of
this
as
we
move
forward
and
agree
with
my
with
my
colleagues
for
all
the
same
reasons,
from
more
or
less
but
I
just
love
whenever
I
seen
a
presentation
taking
advantage
of
leveraging
economies
at
scale
is,
is
a
good
day
and
deepening
that
collaboration
with
our
with
our
our
fellow
cities
here
on
the
east
side
and
then
and
sharing
that
that
leadership.
B
Sharing
that
knowledge
as
council
member
Stokes
mentioned
and
then
preparing
us
for
for
grant
funding
in
the
in
the
future
is,
is
a
great
step
forward.
B
My
only
question
and
I,
like
the
the
focus
on
the
the
heat
pumps,
so
I'm
kind
of
wondering,
is
that
going
to
be
kind
of
the
key
metric
in
terms
of
how
we're
tracking
the
success
of
this,
how
many
heat
pumps
do
you
think
we
might
be
able
to
get
installed
and
across,
like
what
kind
of
you
know
be
a
residence,
be
it
the
non-profits
or
some
of
the
other
groups
or
or
they
they
mentioned
there.
But
what
else
is
going
into
that?
L
You
know
anticipated
Energy
savings,
greenhouse
gas
emissions
reductions
and
then
you
know
the
other
one
for
us
is
dollars
leveraged,
so
I
think
we
really
want
to
look
at.
You
know
what
are
we
using
for
City
contributions
and
what
external
funding
are
we
able
to
leverage
through
this
program?
Okay,.
B
Great
and
then
and
then
what
will
Outreach
look
like
and
will
you
come
because
I
know
we're
just
talking
about
signing
this
this
Ila
at
this
point,
but
are
you
going
to
have
a
website
other
materials
that
we
can
point
residents
in
the
community
to
if
they
have
an
interest
in
taking
advantage
of
such
a
program
or
want
to
get
involved?
Where,
where
do
we
point
them
to
yeah.
L
So
we
have
a
website,
energysmarteastside.org
we've
been
doing
webinars
and
you
know
kind
of
using
all
of
our
normal
City
channels
to
promote
those
I
think
what
we're
looking
at
doing,
really
starting
in
the
new
year
as
we
you
know,
have
the
grant
agreement
place
and
more
funding
to
work
with
is
starting
more
kind
of
targeted
Outreach
to
our
low
and
moderate
income
residents
through
you
know,
for
instance,
our
home
repair
program
through
our
partners
at
hopelink.
L
You
know
kind
of
working
through
the
appropriate
channels,
but
yeah
really
looking
to
do
more
kind
of
targeted,
Outreach
and
then
also
you
know
wanting
to
look
at
just
who
we're
engaging
with
to
making
make
sure
that
you
know
the
participants
in
the
program
really
reflect
the
demographics
of
our
city,
so
I
think
we'll
definitely
be
looking
at
at
broadening
our
Outreach
as
well
great.
Thank
you.
A
So
that
was
one
of
my
questions
was
the
Outreach
that
you
were
going
to
do
in
the
education
for
a
residents,
but
you
know
the
whole
reason
we're
doing.
This
is
we're
trying
to
meet
our
greenhouse
gas
emission
goals
of
decreasing
it
by
half
by
2050
from
what
was
the
starting
year,
2017.
2011
2011.,
okay.
So
how
are
we
going
to
measure
success?
I
was
at
a
Tech
conference
a
couple
of
weeks
ago.
I
met
somebody
who
had
a
way
of
measuring
greenhouse
gas
emissions
like
at
intersections
and
I.
Wonder.
A
L
Yeah
for
something
like
this,
it
tends
to
be.
You
know
you
can
kind
of
estimate
what
the
greenhouse
gas
emissions
reduction
would
be.
You
know
you
normally
say:
if
you
have
a
natural
gas
furnace
and
you
switch
to
an
electric
heat
pump,
you
can
estimate
what
the
greenhouse
gas
emission
savings
would
be
and
then
you
can
we'll.
Also,
you
know
when
we
get
the
data
from
PSE
on
the
total
energy
use
per
year.
A
L
A
Maybe
we
could
look
into
it,
I
don't
know
and
I
mean
the
fact
is
it's
not
just
about
energy
consumption,
it's
also
about
lifestyle
habits
and
and
how
many
people
start
walking
more
and
and
living
closer
to
where
they
work,
and
things
like
that.
So
I'd
really
like
to
see
if
it's
possible
to
get
a
little
more
accurate
measurement
of
our
city
and
the
other
cities
and
as
well.
Okay,
any
other
comments
or
questions.
A
Okay,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye,
any
opposed
great,
all
right,
we're
on
to
our
last
study
session
item
and
then,
after
that
we
will
open
it
up
further
for
public
comments.
If
there's
somebody
there
so
Mr
Miyaki.
R
Thank
you,
Mary.
Council
members.
The
next
item
is
an
update
on
the
Airfield
Master
Airfield
Park
master
plan.
Tonight's
presentation
is
informational
whereby
we
are
seeking
Council
comments
and
feedback.
Formal
council
action
direction
will
occur
later
in
the
future.
By
way
back
on,
this
particular
topic
was
last
in
front
of
you
on
October
of
2021.
At
that
time,
Council
directed
Park
staff
to
prepare
an
update
to
the
2012
belvr
Field,
Master
Plan
and
more
specifically,
seek
and
understand
Community
preferences
and
feedback
associated
with
locating
a
new
Aquatic
Center
outside
tonight.
R
Staff
will
share
some
of
that
feedback
and
Outreach
information
with
you
joining
us
to
see
evening,
for
the
presentation
is
Michael
shiyosaki,
who
is
the
director
and
Pam
Furman
planning
and
design
and
development
manager,
both
from
the
parks
and
Community
Services?
Also
I
just
wanted
to
note
it
in
the
audience
tonight
is
Dave
Hamilton
the
chair
of
the
park
board,
but
that'll
give
to
you
Michael
great.
R
G
Good
evening,
mayor,
Robinson,
Deputy,
Mayor,
new
in
house
and
members
of
the
city,
council,
Pam
and
I
are
so
happy
to
be
here
this
evening,
and
you
know
I
I
think
this
is
a
bit
of
a
mid-process
report
on
the
Master
Plan
update
process
for
Bellevue
Airfield
Park.
G
So
as
the
city
manager
just
noted
and
I,
will
there
we
go
just
say
that,
yes,
this
is
for
information,
only
we're
not
here
for
any
kind
of
decision
or
Direction
this
evening,
but
we
are
here
to
seek
your
feedback
on
the
master
plan
Alternatives
that
Pam
will
be
going
through
with
you
and
and
that
feedback
we
receive
will
go
back
into
the
overall
process
in
coming
up
with
a
preferred
master
plan
alternative,
and
we
will
be
working
with
the
park
board
to
bring
back
that
recommendation
to
you
sometime
next
winter.
G
So
with
that
I
will
just
quickly
go
through
the
agenda,
so
we'll
provide
a
bit
of
background
on
the
the
site
and
the
previous
master
plan
that
was
completed
in
2012.
talk
about.
What's
in
the
Parks
and
open
space
system
plan,
that's
relevant
to
this
master
plan
process.
G
We
will
talk
about
the
community
outreach
done
so
far
and
what
we've
heard
from
the
community
and
then
we'll
go
through
the
three
master
plan
Alternatives
and
seek
your
feedback
followed
by
next
steps.
So
with
that,
I
will
turn
it
over
to
Pam
Thurman.
AB
It's
located
a
quarter
mile
east
of
along
a
pedestrian
path,
east
of
Robinswood,
Park
and
north
of
I-90
in
the
East
Gate
area
in
20
in
2002.
Recognizing
that
Bellevue
Airfield
Park
site
may
represent
the
last
opportunity
to
acquire
a
large
undeveloped,
relatively
flat
property
in
Bellevue.
The
council
authorized
the
purchase
of
the
property
for
the
purpose
of
developing
active
Recreation.
AB
AB
AB
AB
The
parks
and
Community
Services
Board
recommended
a
preferred
master
plan.
What
you
see
before
you
and
the
name
Bellevue
Airfield
Park,
the
city
council,
concurred
and
adopted
the
master
plan
in
2012.
as
currently
adopted.
The
Bellevue
Airfield
Park
master
plan
would
provide
the
community
with
two
lighted:
Synthetic
Turf
sport
fields,
a
wooded
picnic
area,
Trail
connections,
playgrounds,
restrooms
and
parking.
AB
The
plan
also
maintains
a
healthy
Woodland
buffer
between
the
park
and
nearby
residents,
recognizing
the
predominant
use
of
the
undeveloped
site,
both
then
and
today,
as
an
off-leash
facility.
It
also
includes
the
future
expansion
of
the
off
Leaf
area
at
Robin's
wood
that
would
grow
that
1.7
Acre
Site
to
about
5.75
Acres.
AB
During
the
parks
and
open
space,
Plan
update
the
what
we
have
both
during
the
park.
Plan
update
and
our
Outreach
for
Bellevue
Airfield
Park
Master
Plan
update.
AB
We
have
consistently
received
numerous
requests
to
add
pickleball
courts
to
help
address
those
recent
requests
for
pickleball.
The
city
has
committed
to
add
pickleball
lines
to
existing
City
Tennis
Courts
when
they
are
renovated.
If
sufficient
distance
exists
between
residents
between
residents
and
I
should
say
the
sport
court,
we
can
fit
approximately
two
pickleball
courts
per
tennis
court,
and
so,
as
you
can
see
on
the
slide,
we
currently
offer
the
public
17
pickleball
courts
and
by
the
end
of
2023
we
will
be
adding
an
additional
12.
AB
AB
The
population
of
the
East
Side
communities
has
more
than
doubled.
In
the
last
50
years,
no
new
public
pools
have
been
built
within
Bellevue,
Redmond
or
Kirkland.
During
that
time
there
are
nearly
half
a
million
people
living
within
the
east
side
service
area,
and
there
is
continued
population
growth
anticipated
the
only
existing
public
Aquatic
Facility
in
Bellevue,
the
Bellevue
Aquatic
Facility,
is
over
50
years
old
and
the
Bellevue
Aquatic
Facility
has
served
bellevue's
population
of
60
000
in
1970
when
it
was
built
to
over
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand.
AB
Today
its
age
capacity
and
inability
to
provide
a
full
range
of
aquatic
programming
make
it
inadequate
to
meet
the
current
and
future
demand
of
swimming
facilities
in
Bellevue
and
the
next
slide.
If
you
would
thank
you,
recognizing
The
Aquatic
needs
in
2021,
the
council
directed
an
update
to
the
existing
Bellevue
Airfield
Park
master
plan
to
understand
Community
preferences
and
inform
impacts
associated
with
locating
an
aquatic
facility
at
Bellevue.

AB
After
our
June
project,
kickoff
meeting
with
the
parks
and
Community
Services
Board,
we
had
a
sidewalk
with
interested
Neighbors
in
June
to
listen
to
those
that
will
be
most
impacted
by
the
development
of
the
park.
Approximately
35
neighbors
attended
two
Community
meetings
followed
in
July
and
September.
AB
July
was
a
virtual
online
meeting
where
we
had
about
60
to
70,
attendees
and
September
22nd.
We
had
in-person
meeting
at
South
Bellevue
Community
Center,
where
approximately
82
community
members
joined
us.
Our
mailing
list
is
grown
to
over
2500.
Our
email
notification
of
meeting
and
website
updates
is
well
over
3
000..
We've
responded
to
over
what
500
emails
and
phone
calls
invitations
and
project
information
has
been
sent
to
a
variety
of
community
groups,
including
agencies
and
organizations
of
color,
faith-based
groups
and
family
related
agencies.
AB
Alternatives
have
evolved,
Community,
Based
input
says
this
park
should
be
inclusive,
safe,
environmentally
responsive
and
active,
and
when
asked
at
our
Master
Plan
update,
meeting
and
website
survey
which
passive
programs
were
most
desired
about,
120
people
have
responded,
thus
far
indicating
preferences
for
trails
and
picnic
areas
and
when
asked
which
active
programs
were
most
desired,
an
Aquatic
Facility
playground
and
Sport
courts
were
favored
and
the
next
is
the
activity
diagram
shared
at
the
meeting
provided
an
opportunity
to
take
a
big
picture.
Look
at
potential
site
development
alternatives.
AB
The
diagram
shows
more
natural,
passive
areas
in
dark,
green,
more
active
areas
in
light,
green
parking
in
Gray
and
potential
Aquatic
Facility
locations
in
light
blue,
responding
to
community
and
immediate
neighborhood
concerns
regarding
preservation
of
the
natural
areas,
access
and
potential
impacts
to
residential
areas
in
the
north
and
Northwest
area
of
that
of
our
site.
Further
evaluation
of
locating
active
Park
elements
in
the
Northwest
area
of
the
site
was
not
pursued
based
on
community
feedback.
Three
master
plan
Alternatives
were
developed
and
also
we'll
share
those
with
you
alternative
one
has
the
Aquatic
Center.
AB
This
is
an
approximate
size,
reasonably
scaled
to
site
in
the
southwest
corner
of
the
site.
There's
also
the
picnic
areas
in
the
Northwest
restrooms
pickleball
courts
Amphitheater.
It
retains
the
sport
field
of
the
original
master
plan.
There's
a
splash
pad
in
here
playground
and
picnic
area.
Think
I
already
said
picnic
area
didn't
I,
there's
multiple
picnic
areas.
AB
The
community
was
asked
what
most
frequently
what
they
let's
see
was
most
frequently
cited
comments
were
for
pickleball.
We
can't
hear
enough
about
pickleball
the
next
most
frequent
comment
was
absolutely
support
for
an
Aquatic
Facility,
not
as
numerous,
however,
consistent
were
comments,
citing
concerns
of
loss
of
trees,
habitat
and
open
space
and
potential
impacts
of
increased
nefarious
activities
in
that
northwest
corner,
and
in
the
beginning
of
November,
we
received
a
petition
from
20
Park
adjacent
neighbors,
requesting
that
no
development
occur
in
that
10-acre
Northwest
portion
of
the
site.
AB
Excellent
when
asked
which
alternative
for
I
should
share
I
should
share
that
when
asked
which
Pro
alternative
was
preferred,
we
came
up
with
a
three-way
tie
between
all
three,
so
I
can't
offer
much
more
specific
specificity.
But
yes,
that
word
is.
AB
And
let's
go
with
the
project
next
steps
next
slide.
A
A
Okay,
do
you
have
a
picture
of
the
three
on
one
page.
W
W
A
E
Actually,
the
mayor
and
I've
been
on
this
journey
also
since
2000
what
eight
nine
all
the
way
through-
and
it's
been
a
very,
very,
very
interesting,
there's
a
lot
of
things
in
this
that
are
consistent
all
the
way
along
a
lot
of
it
is
keeping
the
trails
keeping
the
forest
wanting
to
have
active
areas,
and
you
know
aquatic
all
these
other
centers
have
been
included
in
that.
At
that
time,
we
were
looking
for
more
baseball
other
fields,
but
again
it's.
E
It
hasn't
varied
a
whole
lot
from
that
original
thing
and
I
think
that
we
have
three
really
good
areas
here,
but
one
of
them
really
well
show
me
the
three.
The
alternate
one
is
the
one
with
the
Aquatic
Center
that
way
the
Aquatic
Center
there
and
the
third
one
doesn't
have
an
aquatic
center
correct.
So
just
at
the
beginning,
I
want
to
ask
you:
how
can
we
say
that
each
of
these
three
are
equally
liked
by
different?
E
You
know
you
have
three
different
groups
when
an
aquatic
center
is
one
of
the
top
active
things
that
people
talk
about
I
mean
it
seems
to
me
that
alternative
three
is
I,
don't
understand
why
it's
rated
equally,
with
the
other
two
just
I
mean
you
know,
I'd
like
to
know
that,
because
I
think
it
helps
I
I,
think
that's
not
what
we've
been
talking
about.
But
how
do
we
get
to
that.
G
E
Well,
that's
what
I
was
thinking
too
I
think
that
it
doesn't.
It
doesn't
really
make
sense
to
say
that
I
mean
that
that
is
doesn't
really
prove
anything,
because
you've
got
two-thirds
of
the
people
basically
saying
we
want
a
site
with
Aquatic
Center
and
then
one-third
doesn't
want
an
aquatic
center
once
another
Sports
field
and
I.
E
Think
that's
what
that's
what
I
gathered
at
the
meetings
and
I
guess:
that's
what
we've
been
talking
about
for
a
long
time
and-
and
you
know,
as
we've
said,
there
is,
there's
a
really
dire
need
for
really
first
class
great
Aquatic
Center
for
doubled
population
and
the
interest,
then
the
development
of
other
areas
in
these
other
pieces
here
and
we
can
put
pickleball
a
lot
of
other
things
in
there
and
I
think
putting
that.
E
E
But
it's
very
important
in
terms
of
the
community,
so
I
think
and
I
think
we've
done
a
really
good
job,
the
staff
and
people
putting
together
in
parsing
that
out,
so
that
we
really
do
provide
a
lot
of
what
people
like
right
now
and
we
look
at
the
number
one
thing
that
people
talk
about:
they
want
in
all
of
Bellevue
in
terms
of
recreation
and
things
in
the
Parks.
They
want
Trails.
E
Okay,
so
you
know:
Aquatic
Center
is
down
there,
there's
a
lot
of
other
things
that
are
mostly
the
passing
parts
and
we
can
accomplish
that
desire
and
do
both
of
those.
At
the
same
time,
I
mean
that's,
that's
a
pretty
rare
thing
to
be
able
to
do.
We
can
do
the
very
passive
pieces
in
a
very
good
way
and
we
can
address
the
issues
of
safety
in
this
area.
I.
E
Don't
think
that
that's
that's
something
we
can
do
and
it's
where
it
will
not
necessarily
change
a
lot
from
it
is
now
and
it's
fairly
safe
out
there
now
and
I
think
we
can
have
the
other
elements
that
we
want
to
put
in
into
this
and
offer
all
the
reasons
that
this
has
have
been
talked
about
and
and
going
to
those
meetings
and
listening
to
people
was
kind
of
interesting.
It
was
almost
like.
Hey,
you
know,
Aquatic
Center
is
really
great.
We
like
these
things.
E
What
we
really
want
to
talk
about
is
how
many
pickleball
courts
can
we
get
put
in
there
right
I
mean
reality.
Is
that
I
think
my
feeling
is
that
the
people
who
came
to
these
meetings
hey
we're
going
to
have
an
aquatic
center
here,
that's
great!
So
what
are
we
going
to
do
with
all
these
other
pieces?
They
even
talked
about.
Why
can't
you
own
this
third
one
or
alternative
too?
Why
can't
you
put
pickleball
courts
on
top
of
the
Aquatic
Center?
E
So,
for
me,
I
think
we're
after
gosh
how
many
years
we're
getting
to
a
point
of
no
return
in
a
sense
in
terms
of
R
is
Bellevue
and
and
the
area
going
to
have
a
really
first
class
Aquatic
Center,
that
a
lot
of
small
cities
out
in
the
mid
part
of
the
state
of
the
country
have
put
together
for
much
smaller
cities
and
much
more
much
less
Urban
cities
than
Bellevue,
and
we
have
an
aquatic
center.
E
Now
that
is,
is
small
out
of
date,
but
it
can
be
used
for
very
it
can
be
a
one
that
really
helps
with
this
aquatic
scent
of
the
biggest
Center,
but
have
certain
things
there.
So
we
can.
E
We
can
end
up
with
a
really
fantastic,
really
good,
very
positive
addition
to
Bellevue
and
it's
it's
this
whole
way
of
life
or
not
and
I
think
we're
at
that
point
where
we
have
an
and
I
I
personally
think
the
the
third
one
moving
it
around
down
here
is
is
good,
but
I
think
we're
we're
at
the
place.
Now
we
need
to
make
a
decision.
E
Let's
do
it
because
if
we
keep
talking
about
over
and
over
again
I,
don't
want
to
see
another
10
years
and
we
we
still
haven't
done
it
so
I
think
the
time
is
now
the
we
got.
The
the
levy
and
part
of
that
was
was
with
the
for
The
Aquatic
Center,
and
we
have
a
huge
number
of
people
supporting
it.
What
we're
also
doing
really
great
things
in
terms
of
the
other
pieces
of
this
so
I
think
it's
we're
gonna.
E
We're
really
doing
this
in
a
first
class
way
and
we
just
need
to
step
up
and
say:
let's
do
it
and
I'm
I'm
ready
to
do
that.
B
Yes,
well
very
excited,
first
of
all,
the
pickleball
courts
and
that
we're
gonna
have
12
additional
next
year,
because
I
keep
challenging
the
city
manager
and
every
time
I
challenge
him.
He
says
they're
all
booked
up,
they're.
G
B
That
I
I
agree
with
councilmer,
Stokes
I,
think
hey
just
looking
at
the
the
pure
yeah.
They
were
title
three,
but
if,
if
two,
which
both
have
the
Aquatic
Center
I,
think
we
can
reasonably
say
that
two-thirds
are
in
favor
of
having
that
Aquatic
Center
and
we've
heard
time
and
time
again
the
importance
of
an
Aquatics
facility
in
the
city
of
Bellevue.
B
So
for
me
that
is
Paramount
just
I
kind
of
lean
towards
number
one,
just
because
it's
a
little
bit
keeping
some
of
that
master
plan
in
place
having
that
one
sports
field
and
we
do
have
a
really
strong
need
for
sports
Fields
still
in
our
in
our
community,
especially
all
those
young
boys
and
girls,
watching
World
Cup
soccer
right
now
that
want
to
be
on
that
field.
B
So
you
know
I,
think
that's
still
very
important
and
and
another
need
in
our
community
as
an
active
sport.
So
so
yeah.
For
me,
alternative
one
is
clearly
the
the
the
the
best
path
forward
for
me,
my
opinion,
but
I
really
appreciate
all
the
work
that
you've
done
in
this
I,
really
appreciate
the
amount
of
community
outreach
that
you've
done.
Thank
you
for
recapping
that
in
your
presentation,
I'm
curious
what
we're
hoping
to
learn
from
that
third
meeting
coming
up.
B
B
So
we've
heard
some
some
concerns
there
and
certainly
would
like
to
hear
more
about
that
and
how
we
can
adjust
any
plans.
I
think
that's
all
very
manageable
in
terms
of
where
we
place
it.
Safety
concerns
Etc,
but
I
would
love
to
hear
thoughts
on
what
that
next
community
outreach
looks
like.
AB
Include
both
the
park
elements
and
to
the
degree
that
the
picnic
area,
for
instance,
is
developed
is
their
vehicle
access
there.
Is
it
just
trails
as
well
as
what
I
think
I
said,
the
other
sport
Fields
options
and
or
Park
elements
such
as
playgrounds,
picnic
tables,
sport
courts?
What
are
those
and
we'll
be
we'll,
be
honing,
those
down
you're?
Absolutely
right.
We
heard
two-thirds
support
for
an
Aquatic
Facility,
so
at
least
one
of
those
Alternatives
will
be
dropping
out
and
we'll
be
refining
the
master
plan.
Alternatives.
Okay,.
B
Okay,
good
and
I'd
really
just
implore
you
to
please
concerted
effort
to
reach
out
to
those
residents
closest
to
the
Airfield
Park
to
make
sure
that
their
voice
is
being
heard
here
and
their
concerns
are
being
heard,
since
they
will
be
impacted
based
on
and
hopefully
obviously
they
should
be
enjoying
this
park
as
much
as
everybody
else,
but
potentially
they
could
be
impacted
more
than
others
throughout
the
city.
So
I
really
want
to
make
sure
we
hear
their
voice
before
you
come
back
to
us
with
the
direction
you
want
to.
G
Go
in
so
yeah,
absolutely
no
I
I'd
just
like
to
add
that
you
know
I.
Think
a
part
of
this
is
about
balance.
I
think
this
is
really
a
wonderful
site
in
that
you
know.
Part
of
it
is
forested.
The
other
part
is
open.
One
is
you
know
on.
Has
a
single
family
residential
against
it?
The
other
side
has
an
office
park
it
really.
This
is
really
an
ideal
site
for
this
kind
of
development,
but
getting
back
to
the
balance
piece,
I
think
as
we
look
at
maintaining
Forest
canopy.
K
G
U
Seems
like
there's
a
pattern
here
seems
like
there's
a
pattern
here:
well
Pam
and
Michael
and
David
as
well.
I
appreciate
getting
us
to
this
point,
because
I
think
we
were
actually
I
was
on
the
parts
board,
as
we
were,
updating
that
plan
and
hearing
from
a
lot
of
people,
and
so
I
guess
I
will
just
start
with
the
it's
time
right.
We've
been
talking
about
this
for
quite
some
time.
U
It
is
time
and
then
the
second
thing
I
was
reflecting
on
is
perhaps
the
reason
it's
a
three-way
tie
is
because,
with
the
growth
that
we've
had
in
the
city,
we
need
more
of
all
of
this.
So
when
we
ask
people
what
they
want,
I
would
interpret
the
three-way
ties
saying
hey.
U
So
as
I
think
about
the
three
alternatives.
I
would
also
have
our
colleagues
consider
whether
we
take
the
third
one
off
the
table
like
council
member
Stokes
recommended,
and
then
with
that
said,
I
will
say
that,
taking
that
broader
view
than
city-wide
to
say,
where
are
those
other
places
for
active
and
passive
activities?
U
We
didn't
talk
about
it
tonight,
but
I
saw
on
their
dog
park
off
leash
dog
park,
and
certainly
when
I
was
on
the
parts
board.
It
was
talked
about
a
lot
that,
although
we
now
have
one
that
is
up
in
the
Newport
Hills
neighborhood
and
one
in
Robinswood,
it
does
not
nearly
account
for
the
needs
of
so
many
dogs
in
our
city,
so
I
guess,
I
I
would
just
say
that,
as
we
move
forward
recognizing
the
three-way
tie
and
the
importance
of
these
other
things
that
the
communities
clearly
said
they
want.
G
G
The
previous
approved
master
plan
it
it.
It
made
the
recommendation
to
add
that
leash
capacity
at
Robin's
wood,
which
is
a
quarter
mile
away
and
that's
something
we
can
certainly
plan
on
adding
into
this
master
plan
to.
U
A
Okay,
since
I
was
on
the
Parks
Board
I
was
the
chair
of
the
Parks
Board
I'm,
going
to
go
next.
I
first
want
to
thank
you
and
chair
Dave
Hamilton,
thank
you
for
being
here
tonight
and
for
all
your
leadership
on
the
Parks
Board.
That's
just
been
wonderful.
A
I
definitely
would
like
the
Aquatic
Center
options
versus
the
non,
so
I
I
say
no
to
three
I
have
a
few
comments
and
questions
one.
Is
there
any
environmentally
sustainable
way
to
heat?
That
pool
I
hope
that
we
can
look
outside
the
box,
see
what
they're
doing
in
Denmark
and
see
if
we
can
capture
any
of
their
innovative
ways
to
do
that?
A
Three,
when
when
we
were
on
the
Parks,
Board,
councilmember,
Stokes
and
I,
there
was
this
big
grassy
meadow
and
everybody
wanted
to
maintain
the
grassy
benno
and
that's
where
they
wanted
the
picnic
area.
They
didn't
want
it
in
the
forest.
They
wanted
it
in
the
pic
in
the
grassy
meadow
and
when
I
look
at
this
picture,
sure
I
always
see
are
trees.
So
have
we
kind
of
like
treat
up
the
grassy
meadow,
or
should
we
maintain
some
of
the
grass
and
put
the
picnic
tables
in
that
area?
A
I
know
that
there's
kind
of
like
a
peak
of
the
meadow
where
people
really
wanted
to
have
the
picnic
tables
so
and
I
think
it's
it's
closer
to
the
little
parking
area,
maybe
or
something.
AB
Meadow
is
currently
directly
over
the
landfill
area
and
I.
Don't
know
that
there
was
necessarily
ever
a
picnic
area
planned
on
that,
but,
as
you
can
see,
with
the
large
size
of
the
Aquatic
Facility
and
the
parking
necessary
additional
parking
necessary
to
support
Aquatics,
it
does
not
leave
much
of
a
meadow.
A
So
just
something
to
to
think
about
in
the
pool
with
the
programming
I
know
we're
not
talking
programming,
but
when
I
look
at
the
opportunity
for
a
family
to
have
one
kid
playing
soccer
and
another
one
at
the
pool,
but
one
parent
will
there
be
kind
of
daycare
programming
at
the
pool
where
you
could
drop
a
kid
off
and
know
that
they're
going
to
be
safe
and
in
some
kind
of
a
swim
camp
or
something
I
know.
When
my
kids
were
in
daycare,
they
would
go
to
the
pool.
AB
A
Care,
okay,
great
and
then
the
last
comment
is
the
amphitheater.
We
tend
to
put
that
in
places
that
are
Steep
and
we
can't
really
do
anything
else
with,
but
I
don't
ever
see
them
used.
So
maybe
we
could
put
some
picnic
tables
here.
A
A
Okay,
that's
my
feedback,
so
councilmember
Lear,
Barksdale
who's
closest
to
the
Parks
Board,
go
ahead.
D
Thank
you
and
I
do
like
alternative
one,
because
it
keeps
the
most
amenities.
The
only
thing
I
think
missing
between
the
three
a
minute.
The
three
Alternatives
in
alternative
one
is
the
basketball,
courts
and
I
was
curious
about
why
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
fit
a
basketball
court
and
and
what
I'm
thinking
about,
in
addition
to
Residents
I
mean
so
I
actually
used
to
work
at
the
in
the
Advanta
campus.
D
When
I
was
working
at
Microsoft
and
I
used
to
walk
in
this
in
this
space
and
so
I
know,
employees
will
also
use
the
space,
the
open
field,
the
Aquatic
Center,
the
trails
and
so
forth,
and
so
I
guess
I
was
just
curious.
Just
given
the
space
or
the
size
of
a
basketball
court,
why
that
was
removed,
I'll
go
through
my
comments
and
then
leave
it
to
you.
So
I
do
appreciate.
Keeping
the
forestry
as
well.
One
thing,
I
didn't
necessarily
see,
was
seating
along
the
trail.
D
I
think
that
would
be
really
nice
to
add
along
any
of
the
trail
trails
and
then
also
any
sort
of,
if
there's
any
way
to
build
in
activities
along
the
trail.
I'm
thinking
like
exercise
equipment,
different
pull-up,
chin
up
bars,
whatever
like
setups,
whatever
right
that
type
of
deal
and
then
art.
So
are
there
any
plans
to
include
or
incorporate
art
throughout
the
park
space?
Thank
you.
AB
AB
In
this
particular
one,
if
you
look
to
the
West
yep
I,
know
sorry,
yes
to
the
West
right,
underneath
the
restrooms
and
next
to
the
pickleball.
Okay.
D
AB
Be
what
would
be
a
basketball
court?
Okay
as
an
example,
but
those
are
exactly
the
types
of
Park
elements
that
we'll
be
looking
to
refine
with
the
community
work
with
the
community
to
see.
What's
there
and
you're
absolutely
right.
The
helipad
that
currently
exists
out
on
site
has
a
basketball
court,
that's
been
pushed
out
or
a
basketball
hoop,
that's
been
pushed
out.
AB
That's
still
there
and
people
will
go
out
and
and
use
that,
and
we
had
not
necessarily
gotten
to
the
level
of
art
included
along
the
trails
and
certainly
to
some
extent
that
will
involve
available
funding,
and
but
we
would
love
to
work
with
the
art
commission
and
get
Art
in
the
Park,
always
exercise
along
the
trails
that
has
come
really
back
into
popularity.
AB
V
Well,
I've
been
around
long
enough.
I
believe
I
probably
serve
on
every
one
of
the
boards
and
commissions
and
I.
Also
remember.
Perhaps
when
this
was
discussed,
you
know
10
12
years
ago,
I
was
a
deputy
mayor
and
mayor
at
the
time,
and
at
that
time
you
know
there
was
certain
criteria,
certain
thinking,
certain
culture,
certain
needs.
That
was
decided
that
this
is
a
great
great
place.
You
know,
as
you
articulated,
to
be
reserved
for
a
particular
purpose.
V
You
know
10
years
ago
things
have
changed.
Obviously
you
know
that's
why
we
as
councilmember
we
sit
on
the
council.
We
represent
the
public,
the
community
and
the
community
have
changed.
So
we
need
to
be
updating
our
thinking,
as
you
are
doing
so
I
believe
it's
done
a
great
job
and
that's
why
you
come
up
with
a
real
good
presentation.
Real
good
Community
meeting,
Outreach
I
was
at
this
September
Outreach
I
was
flawed
to
so
many
people
were
there
and
I
heard
you
know
different
opinions.
V
Obviously
you
know
Aquatic
Center,
yes
with
support
and,
surprisingly
palatable.
You
know
I'm
sure,
10
years
ago
we
nobody
probably
talked
about
Palo.
Even
though
I
knew
what
happened.
Hello
bought,
Joe
Pritchard
developed
it.
You
know
how
lieutenant
governor
and
you
know
the
congressman
to
Washington
DC,
but
today
is
different.
You
know,
and
then
they're
also
long-term
Community
folks
that
have
been
here
for
a
long
time
yeah
and
they
were
here
when
we
developed
this
Airfield
Park
and
they
have
their
own
concept
likings
preferences.
V
What
should
we
go
in
there
I
think
we
try
to
maintain
our
debt
I
think,
based
on
what
we
have
and
I
think
you
heard
it
all
really
very,
very
well
presented,
and
that
perspective
is
they
want
to
preserve.
You
know
the
trees
preserve
the
Natural
Area
passive
area.
You
know
they
also
are
concerned
because
of
the
development
in
the
city.
Development
creates
runoff
pollution
or
draining
down
right
to
our
Phantom
Lake
right.
So
the
more
development
we
have,
the
more
the
the
more
danger.
It
is
the
more
concern
we
have.
V
Okay
and
I
think
we
need
to
know
that
so
that
we
can
prepare.
We
can
mitigate
those
things
it's
important
because,
20
years
later,
we
may
find
a
YG.
What's
happened.
We
did
something
right
and
the
people
are
there
for
so
I
also
appreciate
you
giving
us
the
opportunity
to
tell
you
what
I
personally
prefer
each
of
us
so
that
we
can
vote
for
it.
You
know
I
I,
don't
believe
that
this
is
for
me.
Appropriate
I
have
my
preferences,
but
I
think
I
want
to
sort
out
what
the
community
wants.
V
As
you
presented,
The
Dilemma,
you
know
three
Alternatives
and
we're
discussing
I
appreciate
council
member
Stokes
brought
up.
You
know
just
what
what
is
it?
We
really
need
to
understand
better
and
so
I
think
that's
the
next
step.
I
like
to
do
is
present.
You
know
the
reason
why
I
think
we
all
try
to
speculate.
V
Why
do
we
have
two
Alternatives
and
how
comes
rebound
tied,
but
two
of
them
different
from
one
of
them,
so
I
think
we
need
to
explain
better
okay,
it
doesn't
mean
that
the
people
don't
like
Aquatic
Center,
no
I,
think
we
all
believe
a
college.
Center
is
a
good
thing
or
it
was
supported.
Cancer
approved
it.
Nobody
says
no,
but
it's
only
when
you
put
in
this
specific
site
when
you
have
your
conversation
with
them,
there's
something
missing.
V
Okay,
so
I
like
to
make
sure
you
know
that
we
understand
that
clearly
and-
and
we
also
address-
if
there's
any
concerning
address-
we
need
to
do
that.
So
we
would
have
a
very
clear
consensus
support
that
it
is
something
we
want
to
do
and
I
believe.
We
believe
that
I
believe
that,
but
I'm
not
going
to
guess,
that's
that's
what
the
public,
who
voted
and
left
out
quite
the
center.
You
know
understand
what
you're
talking
about
so
I
think
that
needs
to
be
clarified
but
and
I.
V
Think
if
we
do
that
they
will,
we
can
get
much
better
understanding.
It's
a
lot
easier
for
us
to
make
the
choices,
not
because
when
that
happens,
you
know,
I
will
tell
you
what
I
like
to
see
I
like
to
see.
You
know
something,
maybe
maybe
a
portrait
of
the
current
media
to
be
included
in
Hindi
or
somewhere
I'm.
Just
joking
just
him.
She.
V
But
that's
the
point
I'm
saying,
but
the
point
is
that
we
will
have
a
real
design,
real
concept
that
represent.
You
know
the
majority
of
the
rest
of
the
citizens
of
the
city
of
Bellevue
and
I.
Believe
Aquatic
Center
will
be
part
of
that.
Okay,
but
I'm
not
going
to
second
guess.
If
I
just
you
know,
you
guys
were
missing
something,
and
so
in
rough
in
preference.
If
I
look
at
all
three
I
kind
of
agree,
the
alternative
one
is
probably
the
most.
V
But
still
after
talking
to
folks
radio
understanding,
we
always
ask
for
outreach,
Outreach
and
I
believe
that
we
are
you're
doing
good
job
we're
getting
there.
Let's
close
the
gap,
making
sure
that
we
do
have
the
consensual
feedback,
and
then
we
don't
need
to
be
second
guessing.
You
know,
then
we
can
have
our
own
final
say
as
to
what
we
would
like
to
you
know
see
included
in
the
approval.
Okay,.
E
And
I
appreciate
all
the
comments
and
we
can
zero
in
on
this
I
think
we're
we're
in
a
good
spot.
I
did
I
meant
to
do
this
and
I
wanted
to
we've.
E
You
know,
we've
pointed
out
Dave
Hamilton
and
is
the
chair,
but
the
Parks
Board
as
it
as
a
whole
just
did
a
fantastic
job
on
this,
and
the
people
who
came
down
and
talked
to
us
have
been
very
good
too
so
I
think
we're
we're
ready
to
go
on
this
and
I
think
you
know
alternative
one
is
gaining
some
interest
of
meeting
kind
of
on
around
you
know,
kind
of
both
in
a
sense
both
one
and
two,
so
anyhow,
I
think
we're
in
a
great
good
place
to
go,
and,
let's
just
do
it.
A
AC
Hello,
mayor
Robinson,
Deputy,
Mayor
new
in
house
and
city
council
members,
I'm
Sally
Lawrence,
chair
of
the
steering
committee
for
safe
Coal
Creek.
Thank
you
for
listening
to
me
once
again,
and
these
are
my
fellows-
save
Coal
Creek
folks.
What
you're
seeing
here
is
a
scroll
of
our
petition.
Signers
4
900
people
since
January
2020
have
been
signing
our
online
petition
and
we
occasionally
go
to
redtown
Trailhead
and
get
paper
signatures
as
well.
So
you
can't
see
from
here.
I
will
somehow
render
something
available
to
you,
but
that's
what
4
900

looks
like.

Hearing
about
all
the
collaboration
between
the
city
of
Bellevue
and
neighboring
communities-
and
you
folks
on
city
council-
are
in
a
position
to
to
reach
out
to
our
neighboring
communities,
our
County
and
our
state,
and
maybe
that
is
the
kind
of
collaboration
and
the
kind
of
leadership
you
can
provide
to
make
sure
that
all
these
folks
who
are
not
just
from
Bellevue
but
also
from
surrounding
communities
who
value
this
property.
Maybe
you
folks
can
be
the
leaders
that
we
need
to
reach
out
to
County
and
state
government
and
bring
together
a
proposal.
AD
Good
evening,
thank
you
for
being
here
tonight.
I
was
on
the
Issaquah
city
council
for
18
years,
and
I
can
appreciate
how
meetings
can
go
I'm
a
vice
president
for
advocacy
as
a
co-ops,
Trails
club
and
before
I
mentioned
get
into
that.
But
I
want
to
thank
you
for
the
work
on
climate.
My
wife
is
chairs
the
Issaquah
chapter
of
people
from
climate
action
and
she's
been
very
impressed
with
the
cooperation
going
on
with
all
the
cities.
My
frustration
is
trying
to
get
something
out
of
the
city
of
Sammamish.
AD
If
any
of
you
can
do
anything
about
Sammamish
I
think
we
finally
got
a
city
council.
There
we
got
maybe
a
chance
with
I
was
on
the
in
1979
I
was
appointed
by
John
Spellman
County
Executive
to
the
Newcastle
Community
Plan
community
plan
included
a
number
of
great
people
from
the
the
Planning
Commission.
At
that
time.
The
city
of
Bellevue,
the
big
pitch,
was,
of
course,
some
Village
and
trying
to
have
as
much
open
space
as
possible
and
concentrating
development
in
an
area
where
Services
would
be
available
efficiently.
AD
Blakely
saw
that
there
was
the
environmental
Community
was,
was
supportive
of
that
kind
of
development,
and
instead
of
having
the
the
five-acre
states
that
Ken
bearing
was
trying
to
do
on
Issaquah
Highlands
area
of
Grand
Ridge,
we
ended
up
with
the
Issaquah
Highlands
Urban
Village,
with
80
percent
Park
and
open
space
20
development,
The
Proposal
we've
been
trying
since
forever
to
get
the
former
Swanson
property
included
within
the
park
and
we're
very
concerned
about
the
potential
development
it
it
for.
As
a
city
count.
AD
Former
city
council
person,
I
was
always
working
on
safety
issues
and
efficiency
issues
and
those
in
the
this
one
just
doesn't
make
sense.
If
you're
at
that
proposed
development,
there
is
no
site,
it
is
1850
feet
before
you
get
to
a
city.
Sidewalk
is
completely
isolated
by
if
you're
a
pedestrian
or
on
a
bike
it
you
are
locked
in
there.
It's
completely
foreign
to
what
we've
been
trying
to
do
with.
AD
Yeah
another
issue:
there
was
the
eight
it's
a
there's,
got
to
tear
up
the
road
for
1820
feet,
to
get
water
to
the
site
2480
to
get
sewer
to
the
site.
It's
just
not
an
appropriate
place
to
develop
in
that
form.
AD
C
AE
So
much
so
loving
the
amount
of
community
participation
tonight
that
was
really
great
to
see
and
I
did
want
to
say
that
I
supported
Barbara
Braun's
comments
that
she
made
in
the
earlier
oral
Communications
session.
I
I
believe
she's,
correct,
I
know
for
my
household.
The
reasons
for
changing
would
not
be
compelling,
but
really
the
reason
I
I'm
speaking
tonight
is
I,
wanted
to
publicly
thank
Julie,
ellenhorn
Mark
heilman
for
their
hard
work
on
the
Bellevue
Essentials
class
and
those
who
support
them.
AE
Carol,
Ross,
Teresa,
Cut,
Hill,
Mike,
McCormick,
huntelman,
all
of
the
staff
members
who
took
time
to
appear
and
the
council
members
and
the
Bellevue
Essentials
alumni
who
volunteered
for
those
classes
with
this
2022
class.
There
are
five
Newport
Hills
residents
who
will
be
graduating
and
I
am
among
them.
That's
the
largest
number
of
people
in
a
single
class
from
Newport
Hills,
and
this
next
year
in
2023.
AE
There
will
be
three
of
us
serving
as
officers
on
the
Newport
Hills
Community
Club
board,
and
you
know
it's
interesting
because
I
heard
Abigail
Brown's
comments
where
she
said
she
didn't
think
that
she
had
anything
to
learn
from
Bellevue
Essentials
and
honestly.
That
was
kind
of
the
same
attitude
that
I
had
for
many
years.
Given
how
many
years
I've
been
doing
this
with
neighborhood
leadership,
but
even
though
going
into
the
class
I
did
know
a
lot.
I
also
learned
some
really
cool
stuff
about
the
utilities
department.
AE
That
was
an
amazing
tour
Finance,
which
is
not
my
strong
suit,
and
you
know:
I
came
away
from
the
city
planning
exercise
with
new
ideas
and
an
appreciation
for
how
difficult
it
can
be
to
fit
all
the
pieces
together
during
planning
that
I
I
have
to
say
that
hands
down
the
best
part
of
this
experience
was
my
classmates.
AE
It's
really
helped
me
to
look
at
issues
that
I've
been
looking
at
for
years
through
the
fresh
perspectives
of
my
classmates
and
just
their
joyous
enthusiasm,
and
we
have
some
very,
very
smart
people
in
my
class
who
are
excited
to
get
involved.
So
I'm
going
to
be
encouraging
that
and
I
hope
you
will
too,
but
my
my
very
favorite
part
of
what
we
did
with
Bellevue
Essentials
was
the
very
first
thing
during
orientation.
AE
We
took
a
neighborhood
bus
tour
and
it's
my
understanding
they'd
never
done
that
before,
and
you
know
just
like
we're
all
proud
of
our
families
and
we
like
to
show
them
off
we're
also
proud
of
our
neighborhoods,
and
it
was
really
neat
to
hear
everybody
talk
about
their
neighborhoods.
When
you
know
when
you
travel,
you
can
visit
touristy
areas
of
a
city,
but
the
best
tours
always
come
from
the
locals.
AE
That's
where
you
get
to
hear
all
the
see,
all
the
great
hidden
gems
and
hear
the
stories
and
stuff
and
I
really
appreciated
that
and
I
do
feel
that
it
was
probably
the
greatest
uniting
factor
for
my
class
and
what
really
got
us
talking
to
each
other
and
getting
to
know
each
other.
So
again,
thank
you
to
everyone
involved.
That's
all.
AF
Good
evening
everybody,
my
name
is
David
Lai
and
I'm.
The
team
lead
of
a
volunteer
committee
advocating
have
more
pickleball
courts
in
Bellevue
and
we
have
started,
or
we
started
to
talk
to
the
Bellevue
parks
department
about
16
16
months
ago
and
on
behalf
of
the
pickleball
community
community
I
want
to
thank
you,
the
city
council,
the
parks
department
and
The
Advisory
Board
to
include
pickleball
courts
in
the
opens
open
space
system
plan
in
for
2022,
as
as
well
as
in
the
airport
field.
AF
AF
The
second
point
is
well
currently
there's
an
acute
shortage
of
pickleball
courts
in
Bellevue,
as
you,
some
of
you
know,
and
the
16
courts,
or
those
signs
to
be
a
lot.
But
it's
really
we're
really
trying
to
catch
up
here
and
with
the
the
the
pickleball
sport
has
a
double-digit
growth
rate.
So
in
five
years
it
will
be
doubled,
so
the
16
cards
is.
It
will
be
helpful
to
accommodate
this
growth.
AF
AF
And
you
will
you
will
you
will
bring
Bellevue
to
the
pickleball
map
now?
Can
you
imagine
having
a
pickleball
tournament
in
the
Airfield
Park
called
Bellevue
city
in
the
park
pickleball
tournament?
That's
what
I
want
to
see.
A
C
A
Okay,
so
I
have
an
announcement
to
make
here.
Officer
Jackson's
funeral
is
tomorrow,
and
it
will
be
at
the
maidenbauer
center
at
one
o'clock,
the
doors
open
at
12
o'clock,
and
there
will
be
a
procession
through
the
city
starting
at
11
15..
A
It's
going
to
begin
at
148th,
Avenue,
Southeast
and
Southeast
16th
I
think
it
might
be
at
the
fire
station
there
near
there
and
then
it
will
travel
North
turning
West
on
Northeast,
8th
Street,
then
North
on
128th
Avenue,
Northeast
West
on
Northeast,
Northeast,
12th,
Street
and
then
South
on
112th,
Avenue,
Northeast
arriving
at
the
maidenbauer
center
and
so
they're
encouraging
anybody
who
lives
or
works
on
around
the
route
to
stand
there
in
honor
of
Officer
Jackson
and
his
family
as
the
procession
goes
by
and
if
you'd
like
to
come
to
the
funeral
come
early,
so
you
can
get
a
seat.
A
I!
Think
it's
going
to
be
very!
Very
crowded
parking
is
going
to
be
tough
as
well,
but
former
council
member
Wallace
volunteered
that
people
can
park
across
the
street
East
of
maidenbauer
Center
and
in
the
Wallace
properties
there.
So
they
will
not.
They
do
not
have
to
pay
to
do
that
so
with
that
the
meeting
is
adjourned.
