Yes,
thank
you
mayor,
whereas
all
people
should
have
access
to
safe,
healthy
and
affordable
homes
within
communities
of
opportunity
and
whereas
everyone
benefits
from
affordable
housing,
including
residents,
workers,
employers
and
the
community
as
a
whole.
And
whereas
320
bellevue
school
district
students
were
identified
as
experience
in
homelessness
in
2020
and
7.
G
520
bellevue
families
are
housing,
insecure
spending,
more
than
half
their
income
on
housing
and
whereas
the
2020
point
in
time
count
found
six
thousand
two
hundred
and
twenty
eight
people
in
king
county,
including
446
on
the
east
side,
sleeping
outdoors
without
shelter
and
whereas,
even
as
the
number
of
people
experiencing
homelessness
remains
at
crisis
levels.
The
coven
19
pandemic
has
increased
the
financial
challenges
facing
moderate
and
low-income
households
and
whereas
advocates
identify,
affordable
housing
as
a
critical
component
of
making
homelessness.
G

And
whereas
nurses
are
front-line
responders
to
coven
19
patients,
providing
critical
treatment
and
care
at
the
risk
of
their
own
health
and
safety.
And
whereas,
over
the
past
year,
nurses
have
faced
limitations
on
supplies,
including
personal
protective
equipment,
and
have
played
a
major
role
in
interacting
with
the
families
of
patients.
And,
whereas
may
12th
is
the
birthday
of
florence
nightingale,
the
founder

law
enforcement
officers
serving
in
communities
across
the
united
states,
including
the
dedicated
members
of
the
bellevue
police
department
and
whereas,
since
the
first
recorded
death
in
1791,
nearly
22
000
law
enforcement
officers
in
the
united
states
have
made
the
ultimate
sacrifice
and
been
killed
in
the
line
of
duty
and
whereas
394
new
names
of
fallen
heroes
are
being
added
to
the
national

officers.
Memorial.
This
spring,
including
295
of
those

H
Now,
therefore,
I,
on
behalf
of
lynn,
robinson
mayor
of
the
city
of
bellevue
washington
and
on
behalf
of
city
council,
do
hereby
proclaim
the
week
of
may
1915
2021
as
national
police
week
in
bellevue,
and
encourage
all
residents
and
businesses
to
recognize
and
express
appreciation
for
our
law
enforcement
officers
for
their
honorable
profession
in
public
service
to
us
all,
especially
as
they
respond
to
the
current
public
health
emergency
and
strive
to
assist
everyone
in
our
diverse
communities.
While
on
the
front
lines
of
the
coveted
19
pandemic.
A
Great,
thank
you
very
much.
So
is
there
a
motion
to
approve
the
agenda.
A
B
Thank
you
mayor.
There
are
two
pre-registered
speakers
this
evening
for
oral
communications,
and
the
first
speaker
is
christopher
randles
and
mr
randalls.
Can
you
hear
me.
I
All
right
good
evening,
council
members,
private
citizen,
chris
randles
here
2501
148th,
avenue,
southeast
apartment
c5
and
that's
actually
a
new
address
for
me,
as
I
just
moved
in
with
my
non-binary
partner
after
a
year
and
a
half
together,
and
we're
really
excited
to
start
building
our
life
together
here
in
bellevue
as
a
queer
man,
I've
always
felt
welcome
to
my
six
and
a
half
years
in
this
city.
I
feel
like
this
city
and
its
leadership
consistently
stands.
I
The
lgbtq
community
and
bellevue
is
a
place
where
I'm
free
to
be
myself
and
show
love
for
my
partner
without
being
harassed
or
persecuted.
But
some
information
about
an
upcoming
event
in
bellevue
has
me
concerned
that
some
of
our
city's
law
enforcement
officers
will
choose
to
not
stand
with
our
city's
queer
community.
I
Tomorrow
evening,
the
billy,
graham
evangelistic
association,
will
be
hosting
a
law
enforcement
appreciation
dinner
in
bellevue's
downtown
intended
as
a
show
of
support
for
our
region's
officers.
However,
this
organization
and
event
is
led
by
homophobic
pastor,
franklin,
graham
to
list
just
a
few
of
his
and
his
organization's
many
sins
against
the
kirk
community
he
has
published.
I
He
has
publicly
disparaged
queer
politicians
for
their
homosexuality,
praised
putin
for
russia's
draconian
anti-gay
laws,
prohibited
gay
people
from
volunteering
for
his
non-profits
and
publicly
supported
the
harmful
practice
of
gay
conversion
therapy,
although
graham,
who
has
actively
been
involved
in
promotion
of
this
event,
has
recently
claimed
that
he
is
not
anti-gay
and
that
people
of
all
backgrounds
and
sexualities
will
be
welcomed
during
the
evening.
These
comments
ring
hollow,
given
the
plethora
and
recency
of
his
documented
disdain
for
the
queer
community
and
those
like
me.
I
Other
cities
have
rightfully
seen
through
this
facade
and
have
formally
rejected
the
organization's
invitation,
and
I
strongly
urge
you
to
do
the
same
this
evening,
although
bpd
claims
that
it
has
not
been
formally
invited,
mr
graham
has
publicly
stated
to
local
media
outlets
that
he
is
hoping
for
officers
from
smaller
jurisdictions
in
the
puget
sound
area
such
as
bellevue
to
attend.
I
am
fearful
that
some
bpd
officers
will
choose
to
attend
and
thus
support
an
organization
that
does
not
stand
with
their
lgbtq
community
does
not
stand
with
me
and
my
right
to
love
my
partner.
I
I
would
like
to
acknowledge
this
is
not
meant
as
an
example
of
canceled
culture
gone
amuck,
as
I
am
not
asking
for
this
event
to
be
cancelled.
I
want
private
citizens
to
be
able
to
exercise
their
first
amendment
rights
and
attending
just
as
those
of
us
in
the
queer
community
who
plan
to
peacefully
protest.
I
I
understand
the
irony
of
asking
council
to
announce
an
event
showing
support
for
law
enforcement
immediately
after
this
body
passed
a
resolution
declaring
this
week
national
police
week,
but
I
would
only
offer
that
it
is
possible
for
one
to
support
officers
and
their
work
in
other
ways
that
do
not
actively
turn
one's
back
on
our
city's
queer
community.
If
our
city
and
police
department
remain
silent,
while
this
event
happens
at
our
own
downtown,
we
are
giving
tacit
permission
for
mr
grahams
and
bgea's
beliefs
proliferate
in
our
community.
I
J
Great,
thank
you
so
much
so
good
evening.
Everybody,
my
name,
is
barbara
chevalier.
I
live
in
newport
hills
and
I'm
commenting
tonight
as
a
resident,
a
mother,
a
co-founder
of
300
trees
and
a
local
non-profit
dedicated
to
planting
trees,
and
my
comments
are
about
the
council
vision
and
20
21
to
2023
priorities
that
will
be
discussed
later
in
tonight's
agenda
and
first
I
want
to
say
that
both
documents
are
really
impressive.
J
J
J
But,
of
course
there
is
room
for
improvement,
and
my
biggest
point
of
critique
is
that
both
documents
could
be
stronger
and
bellevue
could
be
even
more
successful
in
the
future
if
the
vision
and
priorities
were
made
more
of
a
if
they
took
a
more
whole-of-government
approach,
particularly
to
the
issue
of
addressing
climate
change,
which,
I
would
argue
is
the
most
pressing
issue
of
our
time,
because
if
we
don't
solve
it,
we
are
all
in
a
world
of
hurt.
J
When
I'd
like
to
to
point
you,
for
example,
to
the
whole
of
government
approach
that
the
biden
administration
is
using,
it
captures
really
two
basic
truths
that
are
the
core
of
their
whole
government
plan.
One.
J
The
united
states
urgently
needs
to
embrace
greater
ambition
on
really
an
epic
scale
to
meet
the
scope
of
our
global
climate
change,
and
it
acknowledges
that
our
environment
and
our
economy
are
utterly
integrated
right,
they're,
totally
connected
to
each
other,
and
I
believe
that
the
whole
of
government
approach
is
the
right
and
indeed
patriotic,
approach
that
every
town
city
every
state
government
needs
to
embrace.
If
we're
really
going
to
meet
this.
J
J
By
that
I
mean
to
have
a
clear,
concise
vision,
statement
that
every
strategy
and
priority
tied
to
and
then
have
every
department
every
project,
every
action
taken
in
service
to
that
vision,
bellevue's
vision
for
addressing
climate
change
should
be
overarching
and
include
the
following:
broad
goals:
reducing
carbon
emissions
by
50
by
2030,
100,
clean
energy
economy
and
net
zero
emissions
no
later
than
2050,
and
really
working
to
ensure
economic
opportunities,
good
jobs
and
environmental
justice
for
all
residents.
J
B
Thank
you,
mr
valliere,
and
that
ends
the
pre-registered
list
for
oral
communications.
At
this
point,
I
would
ask
if
there
is
anyone
connected
to
this
call,
who
would
like
to
make
oral
communication
to
the
council?
If
so,
please
use
the
raise
hand
function
in
zoom
or
star
9
if
you're
connected
with
a
phone.
A
K
Sure,
mayor
steve,
are
you
on
the
line
here.
K
Okay,
could
you
respond
to
some
of
the
comments
that
we
heard
from
mr
randall's
with
respect
to
the
lgbtq2
community
and
and
the
event
tomorrow
night,
certainly.
L
Good
evening,
mayor
deputy
mayor
and
council,
I
I
listened
intently
to
mr
randall's
comments,
and
you
know
one
of
the.
I
guess
the
message
that
we
want
to
send
is
that
we
stand
united
with
our
lgbtqi
community,
as
we
always
have.
L
Our
track
record,
like
I
said,
is
very
strong,
standing
united
with
the
lgbtqi
community,
and
we
will
continue
to
do
so,
and
I
appreciate
mr
randall's
concerns
and
his
comments,
and
I
do
agree
that
there's
different
ways
to
support
law
enforcement,
as
he
pointed
out.
So
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
share
that
information.
A
Thank
you
for
that,
and
that's
a
great
entry
to
our
next
report
of
the
city
manager,
where
he
will
report
to
us
on
the
hate
house,
no
home
here
campaign.
So
mr
miyake.
K
Yes,
so
getting
married
council
members,
I
have
one
item
to
report
under
the
city
manager
report
this
evening
tonight
the
staff
will
be
presenting
an
informational
update
regarding
the
city's
hate
has
no
home
here,
campaign,
which
was
actually
launched
on
april
5th,
as
part
of
the
council's
proclamation
on
condemning
discrimination,
hate
and
violence
against
our
our
api
community.
So
joining
us
this
evening
with
the
update
is
elaine
ocasio.
Who
is
our
diversity
inclusion,
program
administrator
and
with
that
I'm
going
to
turn
over
to
lane?
Are
you
here
elaine,
I'm
looking
for
you.
M
I
am
hello
good
evening:
everybody
thanks
so
good
evening,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor
new
and
housing
council
members.
In
my
brief
time
with
you
tonight,
I
wanted
to
give
you
an
update
on
the
hate
house,
no
home
here,
initiative
that
the
city
launched
earlier
in
april.
M
This
launch,
as
city
manager,
miyaki
commented,
was
a
commitment
that
extended
from
council's
proclamation
condemning
anti-asian
hate
and
violence
and
the
promise
of
work
that
was
to
come,
and
so
hate
has
no
home
here,
has
certainly
struck
a
chord
in
our
community
and
and
in
our
region.
M
Bellevue
received
multiple
media
coverage
on
this
topic,
but,
more
importantly,
we
have
received
a
handful
of
affirmations
from
residents
staff,
the
business
community,
community
organizations
and
many
of
our
peers
and
local
government
and
who
are
also
interested
in
replicating
this
in
their
city.
M
In
fact,
this
very
same
evening,
another
city
is
presenting
a
hate,
has
no
home
here
campaign
at
their
council
meeting,
and
so
we've
received
requests
from
olympia
to
the
state
of
michigan.
Of
folks
wanting
to
be
a
part
of
the
heat
has
no
home
here
campaign
in
one
of
bellevue
school
district's,
family
connection,
centers.
I
wanted
to
share
a
story
that
a
bsc
staff
member
recounted
a
moment
of
a
mom
showing
her
child.
The
heat
has
no
home
here,
sign
and
probably
pointing
to
her
native
language.
M
So,
while
the
uptick
in
violent
and
hateful
incidences
against
the
asian
pacific
islander
community
was
what
spurred
this
initiative,
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
the
campaign
provided
a
safeguard
for
all
people
and
that
this
is
not
a
simple
anti-hate
campaign
that
is
providing
signs
of
affirmation
across
the
city.
While
that
is
certainly
important,
this
campaign
is
much
more
about
signs
and
certainly
we
hope
it
is
deeper
than
the
performative
acts
of
of
of
solidarity.
M
This
is
about
a
joint
community
response
from
across
different
industries
that
provides
diverse
tools,
as
well
as
an
array
of
opportunities
for
folks
to
get
involved.
So,
just
as
a
quick
recap
in
the
month
of
april,
some
of
the
deliverables
of
the
project,
including
some
coordination
with
the
bellevue
downtown
association
and
displaying
the
hate,
has
no
home
flags
throughout
the
downtown
corridor.
M
Additionally,
the
chamber
of
commerce
was
very
supportive
in
decal
and
sticker
distribution
for
placement
on
business
windows,
and
we
also
work
with
the
king
county
library
systems.
Neighborhood
outreach,
the
bellevue
school
district,
as
well
as
community
volunteers,
from
indivisible
eastside
in
the
distribution
of
over
1
000
yard
signs
at
the
beginning
of
may,
which
was
also
pacific,
islander,
pacific
or
heritage
month.
We
aired
the
community
and
crowdsource
video
of
students
and
residents
talking
about
the
vision
of
inclusion
and
racial
healing.
If
you
haven't
had
a
chance
to
see
that
that
is
up
on
our
website.
M
M
Additionally,
the
city
hosted
a
cultural
conversations
event
that
featured
a
panel
of
speakers
from
the
asian
community
talking
about
the
power
of
voice.
So
now
work
is
underway,
specifically
with
the
bellevue
school
district
on
developing
an
educational
component
to
hate
house
in
a
home
here.
H
A
Okay,
well,
thank
you.
That's
great,
and
I
know
the
council
stands
solidly
behind
this
campaign
and
as
do
staff
and
our
emergency
services,
so
thank
you
for
that
good
work.
Next,
we
have
some
a
council
initiative.
Mr
miyake,
would
you
like
to
introduce
this.
K
Sure,
mayor
and
council
members,
this
is
your
with
regard
to
your
your
council,
their
2021
to
23
council
vision
and
priorities,
just
by
way
of
background
in
front
of
you
this
evening
in
your
package
for
final
approvals,
the
updated
council
vision
as
developed
by
the
council
at
retreat
sessions
in
late
february
and
early
april.
In
addition,
the
council
updated
its
three-year
priorities
in
the
same
process.
A
Thank
you.
Well
I
first
I
just
want
to
thank
the
council
and
the
staff
for
all
the
hard
work
and
pulling
together
these
two
retreat
times.
It
happened.
People
had
to
take
time
off
their
regular
work
days
to
attend
these
and
staff
had
to
work
around
all
the
covered
challenges
to
to
get
a
facilitator
and
to
get
staffing
and
pull
it
all
together,
and
they
did
a
great
job.
A
I'm
really
pleased
with
the
work
councils
had
a
chance
to
look
at
this
final
version
and
to
weigh
in
we
had
two
retreats
to
work
on
this,
and
I
know
that
there
is
one
council
member
who
would
like
to
make
an
amendment
and
there
may
be
others
so
first
we're
going
to
just
do
a
motion
to
adopt,
as
is
do
we
have
a
motion.
A
Okay
and
then
I'm
going
to
open
this
up
for
discussion
is
there
I
know
council
member
lee
would
like
to
say
something.
Is
there

a
public
hearing.
Here
we
have
two
public
hearings.
Mr
miyake,
would
you
like
to
introduce
the
first
one.
K
Eight
development
agreement
to
enable
the
mixed
use
crossroads
multi-family
project
in
planning
district
e
of
this
crossroads
sub
area,
as
directed
by
council
on
april
12,
was
to
hold
this
public
hearing
to
solicit
input
on
this
finalized
development
agreement.
K
I'm
following
the
public
hearing
council's
ask
to
adopt
the
ordinance
authorizing
execution
of
the
development
agreement
to
enable
the
crossroads
multi-family
project,
which
is
a
mixed-use
multi-family
development
in
the
crossroads
sub-area
I'm
joining
you
this
evening
is
mike
brennan
on
director
of
development
services
department,
as
well
as
tristan
tannis,
the
consulting
attorney
and
mac
mcfarland
assistant
city
attorney
in
the
city
attorney's
office.
With
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
you.
O
Thank
you,
mr
miyagi,
good
evening,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor,
newman,
houston,
members
of
the
council.
As
mr
miyaki
mentioned
this,
we
have
two
development
agreements
before
the
council
this
evening
related
to
the
terrornomics
crossroads,
a
multifamily
project.
This
was
initially
introduced
to
the
council
back
in
january.
O
This
is
a
for
a
224
unit,
multi-family
project
that
is
proposed
as
part
of
the
crossroads
shopping
center
and
when
it
originally
came
to
the
council,
the
development
agreement
did
not
include
affordable
housing,
but
the
council
did
see
an
opportunity
to
expand
the
affordable
housing
in
the
city
and
ask
staff
to
go
back
and
work
with
the
developer
and
property
owner
teranomics
to
explore
opportunities
to
add
that
fact
function
within
this
project,
so
affordable
housing.
We
worked
collaboratively
with
teronomics
and
were
able
to
accomplish
that,
and
that
is
included
in
the
development
agreement.
O
I
want
to
just
extend
appreciation
to
the
team
from
terranomics
to
to
very
much
working
collaboratively
with
with
the
staff
team
to
come
up
with
a
solution
that
not
only
delivered
on
what
the
council
had
directed
in
adding
affordable
housing,
but
also
maintained
a
viable
project
that
could
proceed
forward.
O
So
the
first
public
hearing
this
evening
is
on
the
development
agreement
at
conclusion
of
the
staff
report,
and
we
will
be
asking
the
council
to
act
on
the
ordinance
that
authorizes
the
execution
of
the
development
agreement.
And
then
we
will
follow
the
second
public
hearing
related
to
inclusion
of
the
multi-family
tax
exemption
option.
So
for
the
first
public
hearing
I
will
hand
it
over
to
tris
natanus,
consulting
attorney
for
the
staff
report.
Trisna.
D
Thank
you
mike
good
evening,
mayor
deputy
mayor
council
members
and
those
attending
tonight,
and
just
to
clarify
I'll,
be
presenting
the
staff
report
for
the
public
hearing
for
the
development
agreement
and
there'll
be
a
second
public
hearing,
not
two
development
agreements,
just
two
public
hearings
so
for
staff's
presentation,
we'll
begin
by
briefly
explaining
the
crossroads.
Multifamily
project
explain
why
a
development
agreement
is
necessary
for
this
project
go
through
really
quickly.
D
The
public
benefits
that
are
being
provided,
including
the
affordable,
housing,
incent,
enhanced
public
benefit
and
then
the
public
process
that
we
followed
for
this
development
agreement.
So,
as
mike
noted
the
crossroads
multifamily
projects,
it's
a
six-story
mixed-use
building
with
224
residential
units,
14,
500
square
foot,
ground
level,
retail
and
a
parking
garage
with
253
stalls.
D
We
are
processing
an
application
for
design
review
for
this
project,
and
this
project
does
require
a
development
agreement
per
the
land
use
code
where,
because
the
project
site
is
located
in
crossroads
planning
district
e,
which,
without
a
development
agreement,
multi
family
development
would
not
be
allowed
at
this
location.
D
This
is
the
project
site
plan.
As
you
can
see,
an
open
space
is
provided
just
north
of
the
proposed
building
or
to
the
left
side,
as
shown
in
the
image
there's
a
park
interface
area
that
connects
the
project
site
with
the
with
a
park
next
door,
there's
a
mid
block,
connector
or
urban
trail
to
the
right
next
to
michael's
and
pedestrian
improvements.
D
In
addition,
consistent
with
council's
direction,
the
project
will
also
include
affordable
units
as
enhanced
public
benefit.
There
will
be
a
minimum
of
20
percent
of
all
units
at
80,
ami
or
below,
and
any
unit
that
is
300
square
feet
or
less
at
45,
ami
or
below
these
units
will
remain
affordable
for
the
maximum
duration.
That
mfda
program
is
available
to
the
project
and
in
exchange
for
providing
these
affordable
units,
the
city
will
include
the
project
site
in
the
mfde
program.
This
is
the
separate
and
second
public
hearing
tonight.
D
To
recap:
the
city
noticed
this
project.
In
january
2019
we
did
re-notice
the
application
to
include
the
development
agreement
early
this
year
on
january,
7th
council
held
the
first
study
session
on
january
25th
and
then,
as
noted
earlier
on
april,
12th
council
held
the
second
study
session
to
consider
the
updated
development
agreement
that
included
the
affordable
housing
enhanced
public
benefit.
D
A
A
Okay
city
clerk:
are
there
any
comments
from
the
public.
B
Thank
you
mayor.
There
is
one
person
signed
up
for
this
public
hearing,
but
before
we
get
to
that,
I
would
like
to
mention
that,
based
on
the
public
hearing
notice
for
tonight's
hearing,
we,
the
council
did
receive
written
comments
from
two
separate
individuals,
and
those
written
comments
are
included
in
your
desk
packet
from
tonight.
B
P
I
want
to
extend
mutual
appreciation
to
staff
for
working
with
us
and
council
to
get
to,
I
think,
a
really
creative
solution
where
we
can
provide
affordable
housing,
obtain
the
mfte
benefit
and
then
also
provide
these
other
public
benefits
for
this
project.
So
you
know
this
is
just
the
classic
infill
development
that
I
I
think
the
city
of
bellevue's
policies
are
looking
for.
P
No
more
surface
parking
lots.
Let's
do
something
a
little
bit
better
with
with
that
land,
and
we
just
thank
council
and
staff
for
working
with
us,
we'll
be
on
the
call
continually.
If
you
have
any
questions
for
us,
I
believe
chris
cole
from
teronomics
he
might
be
signed
up
for
the
next
public
hearing.
P
He
will
be
available
for
questions
as
well.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you
miss
clawson,
and
that
is
the
end
of
our
pre-registered
list.
So
at
this
point,
if
there
is
anyone
else
connected
to
this
meeting,
who
would
like
to
make
a
comment
during
this
public
hearing
on
the
development
agreement?
Please
use
the
raise
hand,
function
or
star
9.
If
you're
connected
with
a
phone
and
mayor,
I
do
not
see
any
additional
hands.
A
A
E
You
mayor,
no,
no,
I'm
very
supportive.
I
don't
have
any
questions.
I
think
that
this
development
agreement
is
great.
It
provides
a
lot
of
public
benefit
with
regard
to
the
open
space,
the
connectivity
and
the
affordable
housing,
and
I
am
very
much
in
favor
of
adopting
it.
A
Thank
you
any
other
comments
or
questions.
Okay.
I
think
this
is
a
great
way
to
start
affordable
housing
week.
So
council
members
on
did
you
want
to
say
something
or.
A
All
those
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
opposed.
Okay.
Great,
oh
did
I
did
we
have
a
motion
to
adopt.
I
think
I
did
right.
A
K
It
is
an
ordinance
designating
the
crossroads
multi-family
project
site,
which
is
a
seven
and
a
half
acre
area
and
planning
district
e
of
the
crossroads
suburb
to
be
included
as
a
residential,
targeted
area
for
eligibility
in
the
city's
multi-family
housing
property
tax
exemption
program.
So
with
that,
I'm
turning
it
over
to
mike
for
further
introduction
and
presentation-
and
I
know
he
has
some
staff
members
joining
him
as
well
mike.
O
Thank
you,
mr
miyaki,
not
much
to
add.
I
think
what
I'll
do
is:
ask
matt,
mcfarland
assistant
city
attorney,
to
walk
through
the
staff
report.
Again
we
will
be
asking
for
the
council
to
act
on
this
ordinance
authorizing
the
expansion
of
the
multi-family
tax
exemption
program
to
this
property
for
its
inclusion
in
the
development
agreement
so
matt.
If
you
want
to
proceed.
Q
Thank
you
mike.
So,
as
we
explained
at
the
last
study
session,
the
inclusion
of
the
project
site
for
the
property,
that's
subject
to
the
dea
into
the
city's
mfte
program,
is
part
of
the
development
agreement
and
the
consideration
that
the
city
is
providing
in
exchange
for
the
affordable
housing
the
council
requested.
Q
So
under
the
mft
statute,
both
our
local
statute
and
the
state
statute,
the
city
is
required
to
hold
a
public
hearing
in
order
to
include
this
project
site
in
the
city's
local
mfte
program.
So
the
action
that
we're
requesting
from
council
is
to
hold
the
public
hearing
and
then
following
the
public
hearing,
move
to
adopt
ordinance
6577,
which
would
include
the
project
site
in
the
mfte
program.
Next
slide,
please
treza.
Q
So
the
the
brief
agenda
here
is
is
another
overview
of
the
multi-family
project,
which
is
the
project
site
that
would
be
included
in
the
mfte
program.
A
brief
overview
of
the
mft
designation,
the
affordable
housing,
enhanced
public
benefits
that
council
has
requested
and
that
the
applicant
has
agreed
to
provide
and
then
a
quick
summary
of
the
public
process
that
brought
us
here
next
slide.
Q
So
you
may
recognize
this
slide
from
the
previous
public
hearing
that
this
is
a
depiction
of
the
project
and
as
city
manager
miyake
pointed
out.
This
is
the
7.5
acre
project
site
in
planning
district
d
of
the
crossroads
sub-area
that
would
be
included
in
the
mfte
program
after
council
takes
action
next
next
side.
Please.
Q
So,
under
the
city's
mft
program,
the
council
may
include
this
specific
project
site
or
any
other
properties.
The
council
deems
available
to
be
included
as
a
residential
targeted
area
in
the
mfte
program,
as
long
as
those
sites
meet
the
criteria
of
bcc
4452.030,
which
is
our
local
mfd
code
provisions,
as
I
mentioned
at
the
outset,
a
public
hearing
is
required
before
council
designates
residential
target
areas
for
the
mfte
program.
Q
I
Q
I
would
like
to
echo
miss
miss
clawson's
comments
and,
and
also
what
mike
said
at
the
beginning.
This
was
a
collaborative
process,
as
I
mentioned
at
the
last
study
session
this.
This
was
not
an
adversarial
process
at
all.
I
really
want
to
compliment
the
applicant
for
working
with
the
city,
both
both
city
staff
and
with
the
direction
the
council
provided
in
order
to
to
provide
the
affordable
units
that
that
are
going
to
be
included
consistent
with
the
da
with
this
project.
Q
Once
again,
the
the
affordability
is
for
the
maximum
amount
of
time
that
is
available
under
the
mfte
code
now
or
as
hereafter
amended
consistent
with
the
terms
of
the
da
the
council
just
approved,
and
then,
as
I
mentioned
at
the
outset
as
well,
which
I
think
council
is
well
aware
of
in
exchange
for
the
applicant,
cooperating
with
the
city
to
provide
the
affordable
units,
the
city
is
agreeing
to
include
the
project
site
in
the
mfte
program,
because
the
project
site
is
not
currently
included
in
that
program.
Q
So
this
is
the
brief
timeline
of
the
public
process.
It
was
the
study
session,
one
on
january
25th
when
council
initially
requested
the
enhanced
public
benefit
and
connection
to
the
da
that's
the
affordable
housing
and,
during
that
interim
time
period
over
a
couple
of
months.
Q
That's
when
we
negotiated
with
the
applicant
and
then
brought
it
back
to
council
with
the
proposal
that
count
that's
in
front
of
council
tonight,
both
with
the
finalized
ea
and
also
this
agreement
to
include
it
in
the
mfte
program
and
you,
council
just
had
the
statutorily
required
public
hearing
on
the
da.
Q
So
once
again,
as
as
this,
the
staff
is
requesting
the
council
hold
the
public
hearing
and,
following
the
public
hearing,
adopt
the
ordinance
that
would
include
the
project
site
in
the
mfte
program,
consistent
with
the
terms
of
the
development
agreement,
the
council
just
approved
and,
and
we
mike
and
tristan-
and
I
will
certainly
be
available
after
the
public
hearing
if
there
are
any
questions
or
concerns
from
council.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
great,
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
So
let's
go
ahead
and
move
to
open
the
public
hearing.
A
C
A
A
City
clerk:
are
there
any
comments
from
public?
Yes,.
B
Thank
you
mayor.
There
is
one
individual
signed
up
and
with
that
I
will
call
his
name,
and
it
is
chris
cole.
R
Good
evening,
mayor
deputy
mayor
members
of
the
council,
my
name
is
chris
cole
and
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
the
crossroads
shopping
center.
I
want
to
thank
you
so
much
for
approving
the
development
agreement
this
evening.
We're
so
grateful
to
you
for
being
open
to
extending
the
mfte
zone
into
our
project
site.
R
We'd
like
to
thank
mike
matt,
trison
and
sally
for
collaborating
with
us
on
the
development
agreement
and
also
the
parks
department
for
meeting
us
out
at
the
site
and
working
on
the
programming
for
the
park.
Our
team's
very
excited
about
the
extension
of
the
park
into
the
crossroads
shopping
center,
as
that's
also
part
of
the
public
benefit.
R
B
A
N
N
N
The
one
thing,
of
course,
you
know
which
I
think
some
of
us
I
mean
within
me,
raised
a
little
bit
of
the
concert-
is
the
parking
when
we
provide
so
many
multi-family
units,
many
people
living
there,
whether
you
know
the
parking
it
might
be
affected
for
the
general
public,
who
you
know,
visit
the
cosmo
more
and
the
shop
and
various
other
things,
but
I
think
the
staff
has
addressed
that
very
adequately,
and
so
I
believe
that
you
know
as
long
as
we
are
aware
and
be
able
to
manage,
you
know
the
situation
that
does
not
adversely
affect
you
know
the
you
know
the
current
situation
and
even
moving
forward.
N
A
O
A
We
are
now
on
to
our
study
session
items
and
before
we
start
with
the
first
one,
I've
been
informed
that
this
is
scott
mcdaniel's,
mcdonald's
last
meeting
with
our
city,
and
I
just
want
to
thank
him
for
his
nine
years
of
service
to
the
city,
scott.
I
think
you
started
with
city
of
bellevue
after
you
graduated
from
the
rhode
island
school
of
design,
and
before
that
you
got
a
degree
in
environmental
studies.
A
You
worked
on
some
really
important
projects
at
the
city,
including
the
eastgate
and
bactoria
development
and
our
public
arts
program,
and
I
just
you
know,
I
think,
in
your
first
eight
years
with
the
city,
we're
associate
planner
for
arts
and
urban
design,
and
I
just
think
that
having
an
artist
work
with
our
infrastructure
is
amazing,
and
somebody
of
your
skill
set
combined
has
just
been
a
gift
to
our
city.
You
are
what
makes
bellevue
a
really
remarkable
place,
so
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
your
service.
K
Sure
mayor,
you
have
two
study
session
topics
this
evening,
one
the
first
one
is
on
arts
and
the
arts
and
cultural
program
update
just
by
way
of
background.
The
arts
and
culture
program
is
a
component
of
the
cultural
and
economic
development
office,
the
administer
which
administers
multiple
programs
that
supports
bellevue's,
creative
and
diverse
community.
Tonight.
This
briefing
will
highlight
initiatives.
The
arts
and
culture
program
are
currently
working
on
plus.
K
This
is
an
informational
update
to
you.
No
formal
direction
is
being
asked
to
the
council
this
evening
and
joining
us
this
evening
is
jesse
canedo,
our
chief
economic
development
officer,
as
well
as
scott
mcdonald,
the
arts
and
community
manager
for
presentation
this
evening
and
with
that
I'll,
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
to
you.
Jesse.
S
Thank
you,
city
manager,
miyaki
good
evening,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor
newman
house
and
members
of
council.
We
are
looking
forward
to
tonight's
presentation,
even
though
it
will
be
scott's
last
presentation
with
us.
This
will
be
the
first
of
going
forward
twice
annual
updates
on
the
arts
and
culture
program
here
at
the
city,
so
tonight
we'll
be
giving
a
bit
more
of
a
comprehensive
flyover.
S
So
that
way,
the
council
gets
a
good
grounding
on
all
of
the
different
elements
within
the
arts
and
culture
program
and
then
going
forward
we'll
make
sure
that
those
presentations
are
a
bit
more
tailored
and
timely,
but
I
felt
it
was
very
important
that
we
give
a
comprehensive
flyover
next
slide.
Scott,
as
the
city
manager
mentioned,
tonight's
presentation
is
just
for
informational
reasons.
S
Only
and
no
direction
is
being
requested
tonight
it
does
come
on
the
heels
of
last
week's
east
health
presentation
which
hopefully
will
flow
very
nicely
into
the
topics
we're
talking
about
tonight.
So
with
that
scott,
over
to
you,.
T
Thank
you,
mayor
deputy
mayor
and
the
council
for
having
us
here
tonight.
As
mentioned,
my
name
is
scott
mcdonald,
and
I
am
the
arts
community
manager
for
the
city
tonight.
We
will
start
with
a
quick
program
summary,
including
our
an
overview
of
our
broader
initiatives,
we're
working
on
and
then
get
into
some
of
the
details
of
the
annual
arts
grants
program
and
the
public
art
programs
before
finishing
up
with.
What's
next
for
the
future,
the
arts
and
culture
program
has
a
large
body
of
work
that
that
we
utilize
to
serve
our
community.
T
These
are
things
like
our
annual
arts
grants,
program,
public
art
projects,
bellwether
our
contemporary
art,
festival
capacity
and
partnership,
building
work,
as
you
heard
a
little
bit
last
week
with
easthub
and
then
working
to
visibly
establish
the
bellred
arts
district.
T
T
Over
the
last
year.
The
pandemic
has
highlighted
the
ways
our
cultural
community
is
both
resilient,
but
also
areas
where
we
need
to
improve
the
pandemic
has
caused
massive
losses
in
revenue
and
employment
in
the
arts.
We've
all
heard
that
it
has
also
pulled
the
community
together,
as
they
realize
that
working
together
makes
us
stronger
we've
seen
a
lot
of.
We
have
a
lot
of
examples
of
that
that
are
happening
out
in
the
community.
T
The
social
rest
over
the
past
year
has
pushed
many
organizations
to
look
inward
and
seek
ways
where
they
can
improve
access
and
and
equity
in
their
work,
while
seeking
to
better
serve
the
underserved
communities
in
bellevue
and
across
the
east
side,
and
we
are
taking
a
similar
approach
to
our
programs
looking
for
ways
where
we
can
improve
and
applying
an
equity
lens,
in
particular
to
the
work
that
we
do.
A
good
example
of
that
is
a
review.
T
Excuse
me:
bellevue
clearly
remains
the
east
side's
destination
for
arts
and
culture.
Last
year
we
surveyed
east
side,
arts
audiences
and
found
that
82
percent
of
the
respondents
attended
arts
and
cultural
events
or
took
a
class
in
bellevue.
T
This
beats
out
this
beat
out
seattle
and
all
other
eastside
cities.
It
showed
that
the
arts
are
happening
here
and
we
still
see
that
happening,
post-pandemic
or
hopefully
post-pandemic
in
bellevue.
We
are
also
lucky
to
have
organizations
developing
and
adapting
programs
for
the
whole
community
and
adapting,
as
our
community
continues
to
change
our
blend
of
dance,
theater
and
visual
and
performing
arts
on
top
of
the
rich
culture.
T
T
This
is
a
important
part
of
our
work
and
how
are
we
supporting
this?
First,
we
make
art
more
visible.
This
could
be
through
our
public
art
projects
or
eventually
through
public
programming,
wayfinding
and
other
elements
and
as
an
example
coming
this
summer
to
build
red
or
15
utility
box
art
wraps
plus,
you
will
see
an
update
tonight
on
two
exciting
public
art
projects.
T
Second,
we
are
focusing
on
capacity
building
work
that
recognizes
that
the
arts
district
needs
community
buy-in
and
that
the
city
can't
do
this
on
its
own.
For
this
we
are
planning
to
work
to
galvanize
a
community
group
focused
on
advocating
and
establishing
the
arts
district.
We
plan
to
use
the
process
of
developing
an
arts
district
action
plan
as
a
seed
for
the
growth
of
that
group
and
third,
since
redevelopment
of
bel-red
is
happening
rapidly,
we
are
working
to
orient
development
towards
arts
and
cultural
uses.
T
A
great
example
of
this
is
an
upcoming
project
called
an
earth
market
survey
that
will
survey
the
space
and
facility
needs
of
artists
and
non-profit
arts
and
cultural
organizations
in
communities
like
everett.
This
work
led
to
the
non-profit
development
of
the
shack
arts
center,
which
includes
40
artists,
affordable
housing
units
office
and
community
spaces
artist
studios,
as
well
as
a
community
gallery
space.
T
We
see
the
work
around
development
of
affordable
space
as
a
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion
issue,
while
a
forward
affordability,
impacts,
all
parts
of
the
arts
and
cultural
community,
and
also
the
broader
community
of
bellevue
affordability,
hits
less
established
and
often
more
diverse
organizations,
especially
hard
oops.
T
As
part
of
this
work
supporting
cultural
tourism,
we
have
been
advising
visit,
bellevue
working
to
grow
awareness
of
bellwether,
administering
our
annual
grants
for
arts
and
cultural
events,
which
could
be
a
big
driver
of
this
kind
of
work
and
also
working
to
create
dynamic
public
spaces
with
our
public
art
projects.
T
Moving
into
our
specific
programs,
our
annual
grants
program
administers
roughly
45
grants
per
year
across
three
different
programs.
These
are
the
east
side,
arts,
partnership,
special
projects
and
power-up
grants.
They
specifically
support
community
access
to
arts
and
cultural
experiences
and
as
an
example
in
2020,
they
provided
over
87,
000,
free
or
reduced
tickets
to
bellevue's
community,
and
these
are
programs
like
village,
theater's,
pied,
piper
educational
program
that
takes
place
in
bobby
schools.
T
The
asian
american
performing
arts
theater's
chinese
lunar
new
year
festival
and
taspier's
south
asian
film
festival
among
many
others,
and
not
only
do
these
events
provide
access
to
the
community,
but
they
also
support
local
businesses.
T
Thinking
about
cultural
tourism,
non-local
attendees
of
arts
and
cultural
events
spent
an
average
of
forty
seven
dollars
in
addition
to
the
cost
of
their
ticket
at
local
businesses
compared
to
twenty
three
dollars
spent
by
local
attendees.
In
addition
to
the
ticket
price,
2020
was
a
hard
year
for
artists,
non-profits
and
our
local
businesses
for
sure
virtual
events,
while
they
have
driven
bigger
audiences.
T
Many
of
these
events
are
very
low
cost
and
don't
provide
a
lot
of
benefit
for
the
organizations
themselves
in
terms
of
revenue,
but
they
also
don't
provide
the
ancillary
spending
benefits
that
in
persons
do
for
our
local
businesses.
We
expect
that
to
start
to
pick
up
later
this
year
and
return
to
some
semblance
of
normal
next
year.
These
grants
many
funding
online
events
currently
are
important
bridges
for
organizations
to
stay
connected
with
our
artists
and
their
audiences
and
potentially
grow
their
reach
until
larger
in-person
events
can
take
place.
T
T
The
artworks
themselves
also
exemplify
the
community's
expression
and
celebrate
unique
qualities
of
our
city.
This
is
done
by
engaging
the
community
in
artist
selection,
facilitating
artist
meetings
directly
with
community
members
and
encouraging
artists
to
go
much
deeper
into
a
place's
story
as
they
create
their
artworks
project
wise.
The
public
art
program
takes
on
a
myriad
of
projects
with
differing
scales
and
many
different
desired
outcomes.
T
T
The
form
and
also
the
experience
of
the
artwork
are
highly
inspired
by
the
wealth
of
music
that
is
happening
in
bel-red
and
and
this
this
really
is
the
the
music
businesses,
the
the
artists
that
are
out
there
practicing
their
craft
organizations
as
well
as
all
the
people
teaching
providing
lessons
out
in
bellred.
There's
a
lot
of
music
as
a
pedestrian
approaches.
T
T
T
The
artist
is
calling
cut
and
fill
the
fabrication
and
installation
budget
for
this
contract
is
roughly
190
000
plus
sales
tax.
It's
good
to
note
for
the
council
that
this
proposal
is
considered
to
be
in
in
a
pre-conceptual
development
phase
and
the
form
could
change,
as
the
project
continues
to
develop.
T
Here
is
a
closer
view
of
the
cut
and
full
project.
Currently,
the
artist
has
the
words
cut
and
fill
imprinted
along
the
form
and
translated
into
different
languages
spoken
by
communities
that
have
left
or
been
cut
from
or
filled
into
this
part
of
bellred,
and
it's
good
to
note
that
the
work
is
as
much
about
acknowledgment
of
the
past
as
it
is
about
wanting
to
represent
the
tremendous
change
that
bell.
Rad
has
gone
through
as
part
of
the
concept
development.
S
Thank
you,
scott
members
of
council,
as
you've
heard
tonight,
there's
quite
a
bit
going
on
in
the
arts
and
culture
program
here
in
bellevue,
and
we
wanted
to
make
sure
we
talked
about
the
what
what
come?
What
comes
next,
the
road
ahead
as
we
work
on
the
arts
district,
providing
more
cultural
programming,
making
public
art
more
available,
all
of
the
pieces
that
scott
has
mentioned,
the
reasons
for
excitement
and
some
reasons
why
we'll
have
to
lean
on
our
partners
going
forward.
S
So
there
is
growing
demand
for
arts
and
culture
options
here
in
belgium
on
the
east
side.
More
broadly,
that's
that's
great.
That
means
that
our
residents
are
looking
for
arts
and
culture,
access
for
multicultural
opportunities
and
that
our
visitors
and
workers
are
also
looking
to
engage
with
the
creative
side
of
bellevue,
which
is
right
where
we
want
to
be.
S
But
as
we
look
at
the
the
next
few
years,
there
are
some
issues
that
will
be
will
be
straining
our
arts
and
culture
community,
in
particular,
inflation
risks
and
redevelopment,
as
as
places
like
belgrade
and
downtown
continue
to
be
developed,
we
are
seeing
the
loss
of
some
of
our
more
affordable
spaces
for
our
arts
and
culture
organizations
and,
as
with
all
groups
here
in
the
peterson
region,
the
increasing
cost
of
labor
and
materials
and
space
is
is
definitely
a
strain
on
some
of
our
smaller
organizations.
Budgets
next
slide
scout.
S
Thank
you
and,
as
we
see
the
as
we
look
at
the
the
demand
within
the
community
for
support
and
engagement,
we
have
seen
a
20
increase
in
applications
for
our
arts.
Our
annual
arts
grants.
Those
are
the
ones
that
the
council
approves
every
december.
That
has
come
with
an
increase
in
the
request
for
dollars.
S
As
those
applications
have
increased,
this
does
mean
the
average
award
is
is
decreasing
as
we
try
to
service
more
organizations
and
provide
support,
and,
as
scott
mentioned,
we
are
working
with
the
arts
commission
to
review
our
arts,
grant
guidelines
and
programs
to
make
sure
that
we
are
maximizing
and
providing
maximum
impact
for
the
the
public
dollars
that
are
being
invested
in
these
organizations
and
looking
for
new
opportunities
to
bring
private
partners
to
help
support
arts
and
culture
here
in
the
city
as
well.
S
Next
slide,
please,
on
the
public
art
side,
as
scott
mentioned,
we
do
have
several
fantastic
pieces
that
are
in
production,
including
the
downtown
park,
art
piece
which
will
be
installed
later
this
year.
The
as
we
mentioned
earlier.
The
cost
of
inflation
are
also
impacting
our
ability
to
deliver
public
art
on
a
regular
basis.
We
are
seeing
price
escalations
as
materials
and
labor
and
other
fabrication
costs
increase.
As
one
example
on
the
right
side
of
the
screen,
you
see
a
art
piece
called
rain
catchers,
that
is
from
the
newport
hills.
S
S
So
what
that
means
is
that
we
are
having
challenges
producing
those
neighborhood
scale,
art
pieces,
those
medium
scale,
art
pieces
because
of
they
are
labor-intensive
dollar
intensive
and
don't
and
take
much
longer
to
produce
compared
to
either
the
larger
pieces
like
the
downtown
park
and
the
bell
right
pieces
that
you've
seen
tonight,
which
have
which
are,
you
know,
have
a
more
impact
on
the
city's
creative
brand
and
the
place
making
and
also
the
other
side
of
the
house.
S
The
smaller
pieces,
the
the
pop-up
art
the
utility
box
wraps
that
scott
mentioned
will
be
deployed
in
belgrade
this
year
and
things
like
murals,
which
are
easier
to
stand
up,
there's
less
production
time.
There
are
smaller
scale
and
lower
cost
somewhere
between
thousand
dollars
and
twenty
thousand
for
you
know
the
typical
utility
boxer
mural,
depending
on
size
and
location.
S
S
So
that's
work
that
we
are
going
to
be
doing
with
a
variety
of
characters
here
in
the
community
next
slide,
and
it's
fortunate
that
east
hub
was
here
last
week
because
they
are
one
of
the
partners
that
we
are
looking
forward
to
working
with,
as
we
work
to
make
sure
that
the
city
is
investing
in
public
and
public
art
and
our
experiences
across
the
board.
So
working
with
our
external
partners
is
going
to
be
very
essential.
They
can
be
more
flexible.
S
They
have
access
to
additional
philanthropy
and
revenue
sources
and
artistry
that
we
here
at
the
city
just
cannot
access
on
a
regular
basis.
So
we
are
working
with
long
time
pillars
like
about
the
arts
museum,
the
downtown
association
which
produces
an
exciting
amount
of
cultural
programming
every
year,
although
perhaps
not
always
recognized
for
that
and
working
with
new
groups
like
east
hub
and
pace
and
our
diverse
community
organizations
like
tasper
and
tabler.
S
Those
organizations
and
many
more
will
be
critical
as
we
work
to
to
continue
to
deploying
and
making
access
to
art
easy
here
in
bellevue
and
those
groups
are
energized.
They
are
excited
for
the
current
maturation
cycle
happening
here
in
the
city
and
for
all
of
the
new,
the
new
spaces
and
places
and
people
that
are
coming
to
call
bellevue
home.
So,
on
the
staff
level,
we
are
working
to
support
capacity
building
at
all
of
those
organizations
and
working
to
help
make
sure
the
ecosystem
is
aligned
so
that
the
the
community
is.
S
T
So
to
wrap
up
we'll
go
over
what's
next,
we
will
be
bringing
both
the
130th
streetscape
artwork
and
the
121st
and
spring
boulevard
artwork
fabrication
contracts
to
council.
Later
this
year,
bellwether,
we
are
excited
to
say,
is
set
to
open
in
september
in
four
in-person
events.
Fingers
crossed
and
could
really
be
one
of
the
first
events
since
the
start
of
the
pandemic.
T
First,
larger
events
since
the
start
of
the
pandemic,
so
we
could
be
well
positioned
to
fill
quite
a
need,
that's
out
in
the
community,
and
then
we
are
also
continuing
to
work
on
our
public-private
partnerships,
as
jesse
talked
about
that's
an
area
of
huge
focus
for
the
program,
and
it
will
continue
to
be
and
then
we're
working
to
activate
the
bellred
arts
district
with
a
number
of
different
projects
only
some
of
which
you
had
heard
about
tonight.
A
Thank
you
for
that
presentation.
I
am
going
to
open
this
up
for
comments
or
questions
and
I'll
start
with
council
member
stokes.
H
Yeah,
thank
you
mayor.
It's
been
my
honor
and
privilege
to
be
liaison
to
the
arts
commission
for
some
time
and
it's
it's
great
to
actually
hear
the
progress
is
that's
taking
place
and
what
we're
we're
working
on
now.
You
know
the
bill
red
arts
district.
H
I
remember
one
of
the
first
meetings
I
went
to
was
out
at
the
in
the
new
bellevue
brewery
at
the
time
had
a
big
space
and
we
did
a
lot
of
work
and
people
came
in
and
talked
about
what
we
can
do
in
this
district
and
it's
gone
through
a
lot
of
things
since
then,
as
scott
has
mentioned,
but
in
this
area
and
other
areas,
things
are
coming
together
and
again,
it's
part
of
this,
the
really
growth
of
bellevue,
it's
expansion
in
many
areas
and
the
arts
and
culture
programs
are
increasing
and,
as
as
scott
said,
I
think
it's
kind
of
a
one
of
the
little
secrets
of
bellevue
is
that
we
actually
have
a
lot
more
going
on
here
than
people
think
and
that's
something
we're
working
on
getting
out
and
and
letting
people
know
and
the
the
issue
of
affordable
housing
for
our
art
spaces.
H
For
artists
is,
has
been
around
for
a
long
time
so
again
we're
addressing
and
that's
part
of
the
things
we're
doing
in
affordable
housing
and-
and
you
know
getting
people
in
here
and
increasing
this
and
working
on.
You
know
increasing
the
grants,
programs
and-
and
you
know
I'll
cut
it
short,
which
is
a
lot
to
say
on
this,
but
I'm
really
excited
about
what
we
have
in
front
of
us
and
I
think
we're
we're
actually
working
on
a
lot
of
things
that
have
been
around
for
some
time.
H
A
lot
of
new
things
that
are
going
on
and
we're
thinking
about.
You
know
things
for
the
future
that
we
probably
haven't.
Even
you
know,
started
working
on,
but
we
know
they're
out
there,
so
the
opportunities
and
and
the
great
things
for
bellevue
and
arts
and
the
culture
are
just,
I
think,
kind
of
unlimited.
H
I
do
want
to
say
that
I'm
really
missing
scott
leaving
scott
has
come
in
and
you
know
we've
gone
through
some
changes
in
the
staffing
there
over
the
last
several
years
and
scott
came
in
and
was
the
staff
person
and
then
became
you
know
the
one
helping
with
the
person
who
was
in
charge
and
then
he
became
that
person
and
he's
just
done
an
amazing
job
and
I've
really
been
pleased
to
see
his.
H
You
know
he
just
took
that
that
that
opportunity
and-
and
I
think,
has
really
worked
with
us
to
increase
and
working
with
jesse,
and
I
appreciate
jesse's
involvement
in
this
as
well
to
really
increase
the
arts
program
in
bellevue
and
he's
leaving
a
great
legacy
here,
and
I
I
told
him
I'd
be
glad
to
give
him
an
endorsement
anytime.
H
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
barksdale,.
G
Thank
you
mayor
first,
scott
just
want
to
say
I
think
I
remember
the
first
time
we
met
was
during
the
bellwether
event,
and
there
was
one
of
the
focus
group
conversations,
and
I
really
appreciated
that
a
bit
and
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
for
all
your
contributions
to
the
city
I
and
sort
of
carrying
over
into
the
briefing
have
a
deep
appreciation
for
the
arts,
as
I
mentioned
before,
just
in
terms
of
the
cultural
expression
and
the
sense
of
community
quick
questions
in
terms
of
outdoor
play,
kid's
quest
as
a
partner,
any
thoughts
about
how
we
could
bring
play
to
bellevue.
G
I
know
there
was
an
idea
of
having
sort
of
simon,
says
sort
of
a
public
version
of
simon
says
out
before
just
curious.
If
there
was
something
coming
up
in
the
future
in
that
sense,
and
then,
secondly,
so
as
a
liaison
to
the
special
events
committee,
we're
in
the
process
of
updating
the
special
events
code
and
the
related
manuals
and
such
is
there
anything
that
should
be
considered
there
to
help
make
it
easier,
for
you
know
allowing
festivals
and
events
and
such
too
many
questions.
Thank
you.
T
Yeah
I
can
address
the
the
first
question
and
then
maybe
ask
jesse
to
respond
to
your
second
question
for
the
first
question,
we're
always
looking
for
ways
to
play.
I
don't
know
if
you
remembered
the
weather
or
were
able
to
attend
beau
weather
last
year,
where
we
had
a
marching
band,
go
from
city
hall
over
to
myanmar
center,
and
it
was
just
really
a
fantastic
moment
to
see
people
playing
music
in
the
streets.
T
I
think
right
now
there
is
a
great
program.
That's
happening
right
now
out
in
the
streets,
it's
being
run
by
pace,
it's
great
to
see
them
get
out
out
of
the
kind
of
meta,
physical
future
planning
mode
and
actually
get
onto
the
streets,
and
they
have
a
a
busker-like
program.
That's
happening
right
now
across
bellevue
and
also
in
redmond
called
arts
without
bear
barriers.
T
For
bell
weather
this
year,
we
have
a
bunch
of
art
experiences
that
are
going
to
be
outdoors
there,
we'll
we'll
have
more
to
come
on
that
in
the
at
our
next
update,
presumably
or
or
maybe
at
that
point,
it'll
be
a
debrief
but
yeah
we're
always
looking
for
ways
to
play,
always
looking
for
ways
to
engage
the
community
directly,
absolutely
jessie.
S
Yes,
I
might
add,
in
addition
to
pace
east
hub,
the
bda
many
groups
are
looking
for
different
opportunities
to
bring
additional
experiences
to
the
community,
which
is
it's
really
an
exciting
time.
From
that
perspective,
in
terms
of
you
know
the
the
special
events
codes
and
how
to
make
that
easier,
we
are
working
with
the
park
staff.
There's
some
overlap.
I
think
just
a
quick
note
is
a
lot
of.
S
It
is
just
clarifying
from
a
user
experience
to
make
sure
people
understand
what
is
and
isn't
allowable
will
go
a
long
way,
but
we're
working
with
the
park
staff
to
to
help
make
sure.
That's
that
we're
getting
that
clear,
make
it
as
user
friendly
as
possible.
U
C
F
Yeah,
sometimes
technology
works
and
sometimes
not
so
much
so
scott.
I
too
appreciate
all
of
the
work
you
do,
because
arts
is
what
makes
a
city
you
know
pop
and
just
have
a
vibrancy.
So
I
really
appreciate
all
of
the
the
work
over
the
years,
the
artist
space
and
the
affordable
housing
for
artists.
I
know
that
we've
been
working
on
that
for
quite
some
time
and
if
there's
anything
we
can
do
to
to
speed
that
up
jesse.
I
think
that
that'll
be
a
really
important
piece
of
this.
F
I
love
the
interactive
art.
The
idea
that
art
is
play
can
we
do
more
pop-ups.
As
you
talked
about
marching
bands,
you
know
working
with
bellevue
college
or
school
district.
Other
groups
that
are
in
the
city
to
be
able
to
just
do.
You
know
pop-up
music.
F
I
know
that
we
had
the
bellevue
youth
symphony
orchestra.
They
were
playing
at
bellevue,
mechanical
garden
where
they
were
they
were
throughout
the
garden.
So
the
idea
of
could
we
do
that
at
more
parks.
So
those
are
some
things
that
I
think
would
be
really
helpful.
F
I
appreciate
the
community
engagement
because
I've
also
thought
about
the
fact
that,
while
it's
nice
to
have
maybe
some
bigger
names
artists,
it
seems
to
me
we
have
some
very
talented
young
people
in
our
community
as
well
as
ones
that
have
been
here
for
a
long
time.
So
is
there
a
way
to
even
engage
and
have
more
of
that
pop-up
art
from
from
the
people
that
live
right
here
in
our
in
our
city?
F
So
I'd
like
to
see
more
of
that
and
then
I
guess
for
me
a
little
more
understanding
of
when
we
say
bellred
art
district
activation.
What
does
that
mean?
Because
I
understand
about
bell
leather
we've
had
that
for
a
couple
years:
it's
not
as
clear
to
me
when
we
say
bell
red
art,
district
activation,
what's
being
envisioned
and
who
are
the
partners.
T
To
your
to
your
first
point
about
pop-up,
more
more
activities
like
that,
and
and
can
we
connect
the
local
community
into
that.
This
is
a
great
moment
for
me
to
promote
a
effort
we
recently
launched
called
the
east
side,
artist
roster.
T
You
need
to
be
a
resident
from
those
communities
to
be
on
it,
and
the
utility
box
wraps
out
in
bel
red
is
the
first
example
of
a
project
that
was
open
only
to
folks
that
were
on
the
east
side,
artist
roster,
and
we
want
to
develop
more
opportunities
for
that
roster,
specifically,
because
I
think
it
is
a
really
good
conduit
and
it's
also
a
good
message
to
to
tell
our
east
side
artists
that
that
they
are
important
and
that
we
want
to
see
their
art
in
our
public
places.
T
Your
the
question
about
activation,
I
think,
that's
broadly
a
a
general
term.
It
encompasses
a
lot
of
things.
It
could
be
activating
development
through
land
use
code
incentive
system,
it
could
be
actually
going
out
and
developing
public
programs
or
say
a
street
festival
or
a
music
event
out
in
bel
red.
T
So
it's
a
it's
a
a
lot
of
different
mechanisms
for
getting
there
for
establishing
the
balretta
arts
district,
but
we're
working
in
a
lot
of
different
ways,
and
I
think
that
that's
the
best
way
to
put
it.
F
T
A
Any
other
comments
or
questions,
I'm
gonna,
okay,
councilmember
lee
go
ahead.
Oh
sorry,
no!
It's
deputy
mayor
newton
house's
turn
thank.
C
You
I
thought
it
was
gonna
get
passed
over.
No
thank
you
mayor
appreciate
it
I'll
I'll
I'll
be
brief,
but
I
do
want
to
go
on
the
record
that
we
need
to
bring
back
the
marching
band.
That's
very
cool
I'd,
love
to
see
that
happen
again
or
even
make
that
an
annual
event.
So
I
know
councilman
barksdale
would
would
agree
with
that
for
sure,
but
two
quick
questions
for
you:
the
survey
that
you
mentioned
in
terms
of
bellred
and
making
that
a
regional
destination
for
the
arts
and
that
survey.
C
T
Sure
it's
also
we.
This
is
an
example
of
having
too
much
work
to
to
try
to
fit
into
one
council
presentation.
We
just
completed
a
bellred
arts
district
engagement
report
which
surveyed
over
200
businesses,
stakeholders
community
members
out
in
bel
red
to
get
their
feedback
on
the
bellred
arts
district.
T
T
The
second
thing
is
the
arts
market
survey,
which
is
a
separate
project
really
from,
although
it's
highly
tied
to
the
bellred
arts
district.
But
it's
that
initiative
will
be
a
separate
survey
that
will
a
big
part
of
the
the
scope
is
marketing
the
outreach
out
to
the
community.
So
that
would
be
another
opportunity
and,
and
the
best
way
to
stay
connected
is
to
get
onto
our
under
a
site
subscribe
and
follow
us
on
social
media,
because
that's
that's
one.
That's
one
of
the
best
ways
honestly
to
find
out
what's
happening.
T
It's
also
a
good
opportunity.
If
you're,
if
artists
or
organizations
are
looking
for
funding,
because
we
do
post
a
lot
of
funding
resources
that
come
up
in
the
region,
not
just
from
bellevue
on
that,
indeed,.
C
And
then
my
second
question
is
just
on
the
on
bellwether
there
and
you
admission
multiple
times
about
helping
it
helping
it
grow,
and
it's
so
exciting
the
fact
that
it
could
be
a
actual
in-person
event
late
later
this
year.
Can
you
just
touch
on
a
couple
of
specifics
in
terms
of
or
how
we're
helping
that
grow
this
year.
T
Yeah
two
things:
we're
we've
really
taken
two
years
of
bellwether
since
we
didn't
have
one
last
year,
but
we
were
planning
to
have
one
at
the
early
part
of
2020
and
we've
combined
it
into
the
2021.
So
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
art
in
terms
of
just
visual
art,
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
art.
We've
added
a
digital
art
gallery
for
this
year,
so
there'll
be
there's
10
artists
that
are
working
in
the
digital
medium.
T
There's
going
to
be
a
couple
artworks
that
have
a
play
component
that
will
be
responsive
to
movement
and
should
be
interesting
and
fun,
and
that
one
in
particular,
is
by
a
bellevue
artist
that
lives
downtown,
so
it'd
be
great
to
see
a
local
artist
and
then
also
growing
we're
talking
with
east
hub
about
efforts
to
create
some
kind
of
multi-day
musical
festival
as
within
the
festival
and
we're
there's
a
lot
to
figure
that
out.
T
It's
still
really
early
days
on
those
discussions,
but
the
idea
is
that
their
scope
would
include
not
only
producing
and
managing
a
mostly
east
side,
focused
musical
event,
but
also
increasing
marketing
for
the
broader
show
and
doing
some
sponsorship
development
as
well
for
bellwether,
terrific.
C
Well,
thanks
scott,
and
thanks
for
the
presentation
and
best
of
luck
to
you,
as
you
leave
the
halls
of
of
city
hall
here
for
another
opportunity
in
your
in
your
career.
But
best
of
luck
and
again,
thank
you
for
your
service
to
the
city.
Thank
you.
N
Thank
you.
Oh
no,
I'm
really
hurt.
You
know
who's
deputy
mayor's
favorite.
He
allowed
the
journalists
to
get
ahead
of
them.
Not
not
me
some
things
anyway.
Oh
thanks,
great
scott,
you
know,
art
is
really
the
soul
of
a
city.
Right
I
mean
that's
where
the
challenge
is.
Bellevue
is
so
new
and
so
multifaceted
and
we
have
lots
of
new
demographics.
N
You
know
united
states
itself.
You
know
it's
a
got
lots
of
culture
anyway.
To
begin
with,
so
it's
really
challenging
right.
We
don't
also
have
the
kind
of
history
that
some
people
have
right,
so
we're
always
trying
to
identify
what
is
the
soul
of
the
city.
So
you
are,
you
are
in
the
right
place
and-
and
you
know
so-
it's
always
the
most
challenging
thing.
You
know
when
economic
is
good.
N
You
you're,
okay,
when
when
the
economy
gets
tough,
you're
the
first
to
be
to
be
cut
right
to
be
a
victim,
so
I
I
think
you
have
done
a
great
job.
The
one
thing
that
I
really
by
listening
is
you
know
the
bellred
corridor.
It's
it's
a
plan
right.
It's
a
25-year
plan,
this
art
district.
You
know
it's
a
great
opportunity,
but
is
it
going
to
be
just
sitting
on
the
desk
gathering
dust
or
it's
going
to
actually
be
happening
and
from
what
you
just
described?
You
know
what
you
have
planned.
N
I
think
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
pay
attention.
I
hope
when
you
when
you,
even
though
you're
not
here
we
we
have
learned
that
we
got
to
have
a
plan.
We
got
an
action,
we
gotta
have
things
going
on.
It's
never
too
soon
to
start
it
right.
So
so
I
think
what
you're
doing
it's
good
you're,
introducing
identifying
the
the
amenities
and
the
things
that
attract
people,
the
people
who
live
there.
N
N
N
Send
an
email,
okay,
well,
yeah.
I
think
I
really
think
that
that's
good.
We
appreciate
that
piece.
You
know
what
we
need
is
like
the
deputy
members
that
we,
the
museum
to
bring
town
marching
down.
Para
coral,
all
the
way
into
go
internationally
into
downtown
bellevue.
That
would
be
amazing.
So
the
point,
I
think
I
really
like
what
you
mentioned.
We
have
a
lot
of
local
talents,
a
lot
of
local
people
because
of
the
people
coming
to
this
region
of
the
united
states.
N
I
mean
one
thing
I
know
for
sure
I
mean
I
go
to
lots
of
events,
the
east
india's
I
mean
they
have
so
many
groups,
so
many
rich
different
cultures,
starting
with
young
people.
They
train
them.
They
learn
they're,
proud
of
their
culture
and
they
see
this
about
it
and
they
enjoy
it.
It
carries
on
their
culture
tradition.
N
So
I
think
these
are
the
things
we
all
can
learn,
not
just
because
we
learn
the
culture
but
they're,
really
good,
honestly
and
the
cream
of
the
crop,
no
matter
what
every
year,
especially
in
arts,
they
come
to
united
states,
they
come
to
bellevue
and
when
they're
here,
unfortunately,
because
of
various
barriers,
people
don't
know
them,
they
don't
know
how
to
express
themselves.
Language
is
a
problem,
their
customers
that
problem
they
don't
know
how
to
connect
the
problem
and
people.
Look
at
them,
don't
understand
it.
Don't
pay
attention,
don't
understand
it.
N
It's
a
problem,
so
they're
really
very
much
wasted
and
we're
not
realizing
how
many,
how
much
talent
we
have
here.
So
what
you
have
to
identify
with
this
capacity
building
you
talk
about.
Really
it's
very
meaningful.
I
hope
we
don't
forget.
This
is
something
that
will
bring
the
people
together,
bring
people
from
all
different
cultures
together,
because
music
is
the
soul,
they
connect
people
they
find
out.
They
are
pretty
much
connected
the
same
okay.
N
So
I
really
think
that
jesse,
that's
something
our
style
can
be
really
mindful,
and
so
don't
let
scott
don't
let
that
plan
to
go
on
the
shelf
and
gather
dust.
Let's
keep
it
going.
Thank
you
good
work.
A
O
A
Okay,
thank
you
I'll
just
say:
I've
got
a
few
comments.
I'll
try
to
be
quick.
You
know.
I
really
appreciate
that
arts
and
culture
fall
under
our
economic
development
plan,
that's
exactly
where
it
should
be,
and
it
just
warms
my
heart
to
see
it
front
and
center
there.
I
love
the
130th
and
121st
streetscape
projects.
Those
are
amazing.
I
can't
believe
we
get
to
have
our
own,
like
chicago
bean
style
sculpture
in
the
bell
red.
A
That's
going
to
be
amazing
and
let's
see,
what's
it
going
to
say
sorry,
oh
the
utility
box
wraps
scott.
I
will
always
think
of
you
of
that.
That's
a
perfect
mirroring
of
utilities
and
art.
Those
are
great.
So
I
just
I
really
feel
like
we
need
to
do
that:
emphasis
on
a
public-private
partnership
and
get
more
funding
for
the
arts.
It's
really
bad
to
see
our
arts
grants
having
to
go
down
down
down
as
more
artists
are
available,
and
yet
we
don't
have
the
fundings
to
keep
up
with
it.
A
The
demand
and
the
desire
for
more
arts
in
our
community
so
hope
that
we
can
really
sit
down
and
think
about.
How
can
we
increase
the
amount
of
funding
for
our
arts
because
if,
if
nothing
else,
kovad
really
underscored
the
importance
of
the
arts
to
our
souls
and
keeping
us
inspired
and
connected
and
just
grounding
us
as
a
community?
So
I
I
think
it's
really
important,
as
the
city
grows,
to
emphasize
that
even
more
so
I
hope
we
do
get
to
have
a
conversation
on
the
options
for
increasing
our
funding
for
the
arts.
A
So
that
is
all
I
have
to
say,
and
I
think
council
member
robertson
is
the
only
one
who
hasn't
spoken
and
she
doesn't
need
to
speak
so
we're
good.
So
we
have
regional
issues.
We
do
not
have
a
presentation,
it's
all
in
the
packet,
but
if
you
have
any
comments
or
questions
right
now,
you
may
ask
them.
I
believe
that
joyce
is
probably
on
hand
to
answer
any
questions
or
give
you
any
information
you
might
need.
So
I'm
looking
at
everybody,
I'm
not
seeing
any
questions
or
comments.
So
that's
good.
A
That
is
the
end
of
our
meeting,
so
we
will
adjourn
and
counsel.
If
you
will
check
your
email
calendars,
we
will
see
you
later.
Okay.
Thank
you
meeting
and
journey
good
night.
