Every
day
in
2022
and
more
than
5
800
others
suffered
a
non-fatal
overdose
and
whereas
proper
disposal
of
unused
drugs
saves
lives,
unused
or
expired.
Prescription

leading
to
potential
accidental

misuse
and
overdose,
and
whereas
in
October
2022
prescription

day
removed,
22
000

Thank.
A
A
Well,
I
will
say
something
for
you,
because
I
was
part
of
a
task
force
that
really
emphasized
the
importance
of
disposing
of
medications
and
I
will
say
that
for
many
of
our
youth,
their
entry
into
this
habit
is
through
their
parents
and
mostly
their
grandparents
medicine
chests.
So
this
is
a
great
opportunity
for
people
to
go
through
the
medications
and
dispose
of
anything
they
can
so
I
I
hope
we
do
better,
even
better
this
year
than
last
year.
So
thank
you.
A
So
let's
go
ahead
and
I'll
hand
this
to
you
we'll
get
a
picture.
A
G
Day
is
an
opportunity
for
people
in
the
community
to
learn,
volunteer
and
get
engaged,
and
whereas
bellevue's
commitment
to
our
environment
continues
to
grow,
including
new
initiatives
like
keep
Bellevue
beautiful
partnering
with
our
community
to
keep
Bellevue
Litter
free
and
whereas
people
who
live
and
work
in
Bellevue
can
go
to
bellevueclimatechallenge.org,
not
not.org,
to
sign
up
and
participate
in
a
friendly
competition
to
take
steps
to
reduce
energy
use
at
home,
make
your
commute
more
green
and
sustainable
and
learn
about
other
actions
to
reduce
your
environment.
Again.
That's

G
Now,
therefore,
on
behalf
of
Lynn
Robinson,
mayor
of
the
city
of
Bellevue
Washington,
on

Thank.
A
You
councilmember
Robertson.
We
have
Jeff
Bradley
from
our

Are
you
the
natural

Do
you
have
something
you'd
like
to
say.
H
A
B
Thank
you
mayor.
There
are
actually
17
total
speakers
signed
up
for
oral
comms
this
evening,
which
does
exceed
our
maximum
total
allowance
of
30
minutes
for
oral
Communications.
In
addition,
I'd
like
to
notify
everyone
that
the
mayor
is
authorized
to
give
preference
when
we
do
have
more
than
30
minutes
worth
of
speakers
to
those
speaking
on
items
on
tonight's
agenda
or
who
have
not
spoken
to
Council
in
the
last
quarter,
there
will
be
three
speakers
allowed
to
speak
to
any
one
side
of
a
particular
topic
and
also
in
compliance
with
Washington
state
public
disclosure
laws.
B
B
This
includes
discussion
of
ballot
measures,
endorsement
of
candidates
or
political
parties
and
speaking
on
behalf
of
a
cam
campaign,
including
your
own,
any
speaker
who
begins
discussing
topics
of
this
nature
will
be
given
a
verbal
warning
and,
as
this
is
considered
as
disruption
to
the
meeting
and
may
be
asked
to
leave
and
with
that,
I
will
call
our
first
Speaker,
who
is
Jody
Albert,
so
I
believe
is
here
in
person.
Yeah.
I
And
council
members,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
for
submitting
testimony
this
evening
on
the
far
Luca
for
the
next
right
work.
Affordable,
housing
initiative
I'd
also
like
to
show
sincere
appreciation
to
both
the
council
and
staff
for
their
dedicated
effort
and
for
including
the
plush
committee
and
the
stakeholder
engagement
process
prior
to
the
study
session
this
evening.
I
So
during
the
engagement
process,
the
plush
committee
originally
suggested
an
affordable
housing
ratio
of
five
or
six
to
one
and,
in
addition
to
step
back
and
floor
plate
limit
modifications,
and
these
modifications
were
added
to
ensure
the
far
incentives
can
be
reasonably
achieved.
With
any
of
these
proposed
ratios
and
staff's
proposal.
I
Such
modifications
will
be
instrumental
in
reaching
the
incentives
that
are
being
proposed
for
this
Luca.
Otherwise,
this
minimit
will
not
create
the
intended
benefits
or
outcomes
given.
Industry
will
not
be
able
to
realistically
reach
them
due
to
hurdle's
post,
while
the
four
to
one
ratio
considered
this
evening
is
lower
than
our
original
proposal,
specifically
for
those
taller
buildings
looking
to
include
an
affordable
component.
We're
also
cognizant
that
time
is
critical
for
this
effort.
I
If
four
to
one
is
the
preferred
decision
by
the
council,
we
hope
that
this
is
implemented
swiftly
to
benefit
projects
currently
in
the
pre-development
pipeline.
However,
to
ensure
long-term
Effectiveness,
the
chambers
plush
committee
requested
an
evaluation
of
these
code
amendments
prior
to
any
discussion
of
permanent
implementation.
A
thorough
objective
analysis
would
help
to
determine
whether
the
goals
of
this
policy
are
truly
being
met.
Met
incentive-based
programs
will
be
the
key
to
the
goals
outlined
in
the
next
right
work.
I
Effort
to
calibrate
these
programs
working
hand
in
glove
with
industry,
stakeholders
will
continue
to
be
a
determining
factor
for
our
Collective
success.
We
hope
that
this
type
of
Engagement
and
stakeholder
Outreach
will
continue
both
for
this
affordable
housing
effort,
as
well
as
for
other
policy
discussions.
I
J
J
Like
to
thank
the
staff
for
their
Communications
and
briefing
in
preparing
the
policy
for
phase
one
of
the
next
right
work
represented
in
the
interim
local
control,
that's
in
front
of
you,
the
inside,
affordable
housing.
Polish
is
concerned
that
the
opportunity
to
create
affordable
housing
with
this
change
has
not
been
substantiated
and
is
less
than
what
could
be
achieved.
J
Development
financing
conditions
have
changed
drastically
from
the
time
the
next
right
work
was
conceived.
The
demand
for
new
commercial
office
space
downtown
has
cratered
and
future
for
new
office
development
looks
dim
the
intention
of
the
next
right
work
in
the
ilc
phase.
One
was
to
hurry
and
make
changes
to
downtown
zoning,
so
residential
development
would
be
more
competitive
with
office
development.
Well,
now,.
J
N
J
Is
recommending
many
changes
that
could
increase
the
capacity
for
residential
development,
some
of
which
include
increasing
the
height
25
feet,
reducing
step
backs
and
setbacks
and
increasing
the
lot
coverage
as
well
as
far
restrictions
in
return
staff
is
recommending.
20
percent
of
the
increased
capacity
is
dedicated
for
housing
permanently
affordable
to
earning
80
percent
of
area.
Meeting
income
and
below
these
affordable
units
would
count
towards
the
requirements
of
the
MF
multi-family
tax
exemption.
J
The
example
provided
by
staff,
the
affordable
housing
would
be
approximately
six
percent
of
the
new
Housing
Development
by
comparison,
the
city
of
Seattle
passed
the
mha
mandatory
housing
zoning
several
years
ago.
Seattle
requires
seven
percent
of
the
new
housing
developed
to
be
affordable
to
families,
earning
60
of
every
median
income
and
those
units
do
not
count
towards
the
requirements
of
mfte
the
east
side,
affordable
housing,
Coalition
believes
a
three
to
one
ratio
is,
is
very
achievable
and
we
were.
J
B
O
First
off
I
wanted
to
thank
the
city,
council
and
development
services
staff
for
moving
quickly
to
address
the
housing
shortage
that
we
are
facing
in
Bellevue.
We've
all
had
the
same
goal
in
mind,
which
is
how
can
we
quickly
increase
the
pipeline
of
Housing
and
more
affordable
housing
in
downtown
Bellevue?
O
O
This
plan
creates
the
opportunity
to
add
more
housing,
including
additional,
affordable
units
in
projects
such
as
ours
that
are
currently
in
planning
for
Main
Street
Place.
This
means
being
able
to
provide
an
additional
two
stories
of
housing
to
our
residential
buildings,
adjacent
to
the
Future
East
Main
Station,
creating
the
ability
to
build
a
true
Transit
oriented
housing
solution.
O
B
P
You
good
evening
my
name
is
Sonya
Forrester
and
I
represent
AGC
of
Washington,
whose
members
include
nearly
800
commercial
and
heavy
civil
contractors,
half
of
which
are
headquartered
here
in
King.
County
I
want
to
thank
you
and
your
staff
for
the
stakeholder
process
on
apprenticeship
utilization
conducted
over
the
last
month.
P
Our
members
appreciate
having
been
part
of
these
valuable
discussions.
We
appreciate
that
the
staff
memo
reflects
many
of
the
concerns
of
the
Contracting
Community
from
the
harm
the
policy
may
do
to
some
of
our
most
valuable
but
vulnerable
businesses
to
ensuring
the
project
is
appropriate
for
apprentices
before
it
goes
out
to
bid
also
tracking
impacts
of
wimby
firms
and
Workforce
diversity
are
essential
elements
of
a
thoughtful
apprenticeship
program.
P
That
said,
there
are
a
few
recommendations
which
do
not
ensure
Bellevue
remain
a
public
owner
of
choice
for
small
and
mid-sized
contractors,
many
of
which
consider
Municipal,
Public
Works,
the
bread
and
butter
of
their
business.
First,
increasing
the
threshold
from
one
to
two
million
dollars
does
not
go
far
enough
in
our
post-pandemic
economy.
A
typical
two
million
dollar
project
will
not
have
enough
labor
hours
to
make
apprenticeship
feasible.
If
the
city
does
not
adopt
a
minimum
labor
hour
threshold,
the
high
a
higher
contract
value
of
five
million
dollars
would
be
appropriate.
P
Second,
please
strongly
consider
phasing
in
the
requirements
with
the
legislature's
adoption
of
SB
1050
and
the
implementation
on
the
horizon.
We
will
all
be
bracing
for
a
severe
lack
of
apprenticeship
programs
to
send
new
workers.
Until
this
pipeline
of
state
registered
apprenticeship
programs
is
developed,
there
will
not
be
enough
apprentices
in
the
state
system
to
accommodate
15
utilization.
P
A
phase-in
will
be
responsive
to
the
needs
of
women
and
minority-owned
businesses
as
well.
Third,
while
waiting
one
year
for
any
enforcement
takes
place,
is
a
step
in
the
right
direction.
Focusing
on
debarment
tells
us.
You
are
measuring
Success
Through,
the
failure
of
your
contractors
alternately.
Those
of
you
should
mirror
the
Washington
State
Department
of
Transportation,
which
has
an
enviable
culture
of
partnership.
This
allows
them
to
meet
and
exceed
Workforce
goals
without
debarment
or
other
harsh
tactics.
P
There
is
a
very
good
chance.
The
state
legislature
will
pass
some
form
of
apprenticeship
utilization,
which
would
apply
to
the
city
of
Bellevue.
Our
final
request
is
to
defer
additional
Direction
on
the
city's
policy
so
that
we
can
move
forward
in
alignment
with
the
state
policy.
Thank
you
again
for
agreeing
to
work
through
this
complex
issue,
complex
issue
with
our
industry
and
members.
Thank
you.

Q
Q
When
you
add
in
those
who
work
in
the
city
of
Bellevue
as
those
impacted
by
participants,
the
reach
of
your

the
issues
we
Face
engage
multiple
voices
and
opinions
and
work
toward

solutions
for
the

community.
Q
We
are
excited
to
celebrate
two
Bellevue
staff
who
will
graduate
on
May
11th,
that's
Christy,
ostervine
and
Isaac
Abdi.
We
are
currently
looking
for
nominations
for
our
two-year
classes.
That
begin
in
September.
We
are
appreciative
of
the
Bellevue
staff
and
Leadership
who
have
sent
two
candidates
every
year,
and
we
look
forward
to
discussing
Who
You
may
wish
to
recommend
this
year.
N
R
Thank
you
appreciate
it
first
and
foremost
good
evening.
My
name
is
Pedro
Espinoza
I
am
a
political
liaison
for
the
Pacific
Northwest
Regional,
Council
carpenters
and
on
behalf
of
the
Carpenters
Union
I,
just
want
to
thank
mayor,
Robertson,
Bellevue
city
council
and
all
the
staff
that
were
involved
in
moving
forward
with
the
consideration
of
the
legislation
requiring
apprenticeship
utilization
on
major
city
construction
projects
in
Bellevue.
R
I
want
to
want
to
work.
We
want
to
be
able
to
work
with
Bellevue
and
its
leaders
to
get
this
done
when
this
happens,
it'll
bring
more
opportunities
for
the
Bellevue
Community
for
those
who
aren't
Familiar
of
how
apprenticeship
programs
work.
Just
briefly,
we
have
some
of
the
top-notch
apprenticeship
programs
in
the
in
the
region.
Once
a
person
is
in
an
apprenticeship
program,
they
begin
training
through
the
program
they're
working
on
a
construction
job
site,
and
this
is
what
we
talk
about
when
we
they
learn
as
they
as
they're
getting
paid.
R
So
we
like
to
say
with
the
apprenticeship
you
earn
why
you
learn,
so
it
takes
about
four
years
for
apprentices
to
become
Apprentice
journey
level,
experienced
workers
once
they
reach
the
journey
level.
By
learning
from
Experian
workers
in
in
taking
classes
and
along
the
way
they
get
regular
pay
raises
Plus
benefits,
which
is
a
huge
boost
for
their
communities
in
the
area.
R
Once
the
apprenticeship
program
is
completed,
workers
possess
a
trade
class
of
certification
that
is
recognized
internationally,
which
means
they
could
move
wherever
they
want
as
a
journey
person
with
these
high
quality
family
wage
construction,
jobs
to
build
the
economy
and
opportunity
for
a
lifetime
which
then
again
it
relates
back
to
the
communities.
R
On
personal
note,
the
reason
I
speak
so
highly
about
apprenticeship
programs
is
that
I
went
through
the
apprenticeship
program
myself
and
it
gave
me
you
know
certain
areas
and
aspects
to
learning
my
trade
Plus.
On
top
of
that,
it
opened
more
opportunities
for
myself
and
ever
since
I
took
the
apprenticeship
program.
I've,
never
looked
back
in
considering
other
different
jobs
and
I
am
proud
to
say
that
I'm,
a
union
carpenter.
R
Because
of
that,
we
want
to
thank
you
for
investing
your
dollars
into
your
own
Community
by
establishing
an
apprenticeship
utilization
program
here
in
Bellevue
and
again,
thank
you
for
the
leadership
in
making
this
happen
as
soon
as
possible.
We
look
forward
to
working
with
you
on
a
successful
program
and
we
want
to
thank
the
support
that
you
have
from
the
current
your
current
staff
and
recommending
the
program.
R
S
Hi,
mayor
and
council
members,
thank
you
for
listening
to
my
issue.
I
represent
myself
as
a
resident
at
4479
162nd
Court
Southeast,
which
is
Cougar
Mountain,
Lake
Mountain
area,
so
I
just
want
to
raise
your
awareness
to
a
house
located
at
16127
Southeast
44th
way.
It's
listed
as
a
three
bedroom.
S
There's
a
there's,
a
there's,
also
an
RV
camper,
parked
out
front
right
by

There
is
an

who
are
bothered
extremely
bothered
by
this
house
and
the
surrounding
area.
Now,
why
is
it
a
problem?
We
see
that
as
a
traffic
safety
hazard,
because
it's
actually
blocking
the

It's
a

there's
actually
a

U
Great,
so
my
name
is
Sophia
Steele
and
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
the
associated
builders
and
contractors
of
Western
Washington,
we
represent
over
350
contractors,
subcontractor
suppliers
and
Industry
professionals,
both
Union
and
non-union.
U
Many
of
our
members
work
in
King
County
done
projects
with
the
city
of
Bellevue,
and
while
we
appreciate
the
stakeholdering
process
over
the
last
few
weeks
and
the
work
from
staff
we're
here
in
opposition
to
the
proposed
apprenticeship
utilization
ordinance
since
2018,
there
has
been
a
push
for
the
construction
industry
to
engage
with
state
registered
apprenticeship
programs.
Well,
that
can
be
a
great
tool
for
Workforce
Development.
Our
state
is
not
set
up
for
a
quick
shift
for
its
Apprenticeship
Training.
U
In
fact,
Washington
state
has
some
of
the
most
rigorous
program
standards
and
one
of
the
longest
approval
processes
ABC's
first-hand
experience
within,
as
we
are
in
year,
two
of
seeking
approval
for
an
apprenticeship
program
in
one
trade.
Only
one
trade
I
should
also
mention
in
Washington,
most
state
registered
apprenticeship
programs
are
run
by
the
unions,
even
though
non-union
contractors
make
up
about
80
percent
of
our
construction
Workforce
until
Washington
has
more
State
registered
apprenticeship
programs,
an
apprenticeship
utilization
government
mandate
restricts
non-union
contractors
from
bidding
on
public
works.
U
This
restriction
creates
many
cascading
repercussions
like
more
barriers
for
women
and
minority-owned
contractors,
higher
cost
of
construction
and
smaller
bidding
pools.
We
urge
you
to
hold
off
on
this
ordinance
until
Washington
has
built
the
appropriate
training
infrastructure
to
successfully
utilize
apprentices,
both
Union
and
non-union.
Thank
you.
B
V
Your
time
begins
now.
Thank
you
good
evening.
I
am
Tiffany
Caulfield
I'm,
a
business
agent
for
the
sheet
metal
workers
of
local
66..
I
am
here
on
behalf
of
the
King
County
Building
Trades
Council
as
well.
I
want
to
thank
the
mayor
and
the
full
Council
and
the
cities
and
the
staff
evolved
for
moving
forward
with
the
consideration
of
requiring
apprenticeship
utilization
on
major
construction
projects
for
the
city
of
Bellevue.
V
I
can
personally
speak
speak
on
the
positive
benefits
of
the
apprenticeship
program
offered
with
our
Union
affiliates
I
joined
the
sheet
metal
apprenticeship
program
when
I
was
19
years
old.
The
apprenticeship
program
guide
is
a
guided
structure
that
helps
the
younger
generation
navigate
their
future
without
accumulating
all
the
debt.
For
example,
I
was
able
to
purchase
my
first
home
as
a
single
mom
at
the
age
of
30..
V
The
apprenticeship
not
only
gives
myself
and
my
children
the
income
needed
for
this,
but
also
provided
us
with
the
medical
dental
and
all
the
other
benefits
needed
that
that
are
additional
to
this
program.
I
am
a
fifth
generation
sheet
metal
worker
and
the
second
generation
sheet
metal
worker
on
my
mother's
side.
Retaining
women
in
the
trades
has
become
a
passion
of
mine.
I
am
on
the
board
for
the
women's
committee
at
my
union
and
I
am
proud
to
share
that.
We
have
started
a
mentorship
program
for
women
apprentices.
V
We
have
carefully
matched
up
volunteer
journey
level,
women
with
female
apprentices.
We
believe
this
is
a
fundamental
role
for
retaining
women
in
the
apprenticeship
and
it
is
continually
gaining
success.
Our
apprenticeship
is
a
five
year
five-year
training,
apprenticeship
and
it
is
completely
free.
I
mean
we
also
offer
additional
night
classes
for
apprentices
who
want
to
expand
their
skill
set
and
take
their
career
to
a
higher
level.
We
also
provide
first
aid
CPR
OSHA
training,
as
well
as
other
additional
safety.
Training.
V
I
strongly
support
these
apprenticeship
programs
because
they
are
continually
attending
Community
high
schools
and
trade
shows
across
the
state
for
women
and
minorities,
and
this
is
opening
the
doors
for
many
in
our
community.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
time
and
considering
establishing
apprenticeship,
apprenticeship
utilization
program
here
in
Bellevue.
Thank
you.
M
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mayor

and
City
staff
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
tonight
as
well
as
your
time
and
energy
put
forth
to
pass
the
partnership

M
The
apprenticeship
of
the
honor
Works
local
86
has
afforded
me
the
life
my
family
and
I
live
today.
I
didn't
start
out
with
the
promising
future
growing
up
apartment
to
apartment,
School,
District
to
school
district
and
once
I
graduate
high
school
I
had
no
idea
what
I
wanted
to
do.
What
I
wanted
to
be
I
didn't
I
did
not
have
an
ideal
role
model
growing
up
to
to
look
up
to
and
I
always
thought
it
was
normal
living
paycheck
to
paycheck.
M
It
wasn't
until
I
started
working
on
jobs
in
the
apprenticeship
where
it
truly
showed
that
the
apprenticeships
of
the
Building
Trades
are
here
to
make
the
marginalized
individuals
better.
The
eye
workers
and
the
Building
Trades
believe
strongly
that
job
sites
should
reflect
the
community.
To
be
honest
with
you,
it
is
difficult
to
foul
them,
while
you
wouldn't
want
to
make
sure
that
the
capital
dollars
you
invest
here,
Foster
opportunity
for
our
own
residence,
though
they're
through
our
strong
apprenticeships,
training
programs
and
Partnerships.
We
are
building
the
next
generation
of
construction
workers
from
our
local
communities.
M
Apprenticeships
create
access
to
high
wage,
no
debt
construction
careers
for
those
that
need
it
most:
black
indigenous
and
all
people
of
color,
those
from
economically
distressed
areas.
Women
and
Veterans
need
you
to
make
this
commitment
so
that
they
can
have
the
opportunity
to
achieve
economic
stability
and
vitality.
M
We
want
to
thank
you
for
investing
your
dollars
into
our
own
Community
by
establishing
an
apprenticeship
program
here
at
the
city.
We
are
supportive
of
the
current
staff
recommendation
for
the
program
and
even
though
the
state
legislator
has
passed
the
program
through
HB
1050,
we
strongly
support
Bellevue
moving
forward.
Now
again,
thank
you
for
your
leadership.
We
look
forward
to
working
with
you
on
a
successful
program,
and
that
is
all
I
have
tonight.
K
Good
evening,
mayor
Robinson
and
members
of
city
council,
my
name
is
Craig
spiesel
and
I'm
speaking
tonight
on
behalf
of
a
coalition
of
residents
regarding
the
draft
curb
management
plan.
Overall,
the
plan
does
an
excellent
job,
identifying
the
competing
demands
for
curb
usage.
Yet,
unfortunately,
some
of
the
strategies
introduced
in
the
plan
have
created
unintended
consequences
and
Equity
issues
which
we
believe
require
more
robust
and
objective
financial
and
Equity
analysis.
K
K
Equally,
as
concerning
is
portions
of
the
Bill
of
the
plan
conflicts
with
the
comprehensive
Transportation
plan,
including,
but
not
limited
to
tr
149
through
tr157
rpzs,
were
created
to
address
overflow
parking
issues.
Today
they
help
protect
the
safety
and
character
of
14
of
bellevue's,
great
neighborhoods.
By
and
large,
this
program
is
well
perceived.
K
We
are
asking
city
council
to
address
the
shortcomings
of
the
plan
by
four
key
points:
one
direct
a
plan
Department
to
update
its
guidance
principles
to
proactively
mitigate
Monitor
and
force
any
spillover
impact
onto
residential
parking
zones
at
no
cost
to
rpz
holders.
Two
expand
the
geography
of
urban
core
Park
enforcement
to
include
rpzs
in
adjacent
neighborhoods.
Seven
days
a
week,
three
increased
fines
for
RPC
violators
to
cover
the
cost
of
enforcement
and
four
fund
an
independent
financial
and
Equity
analysis
of
the
impact
of
metered
parking.
K
Thank
you
for
taking
your
time
to
listen
to
me
and
I.
Look
forward
to
working
with
council
with
the
Transportation,
Commission
and
planning
department.
I
should
note,
while
I
will
be
unable
to
attend
the
May
11th
Transportation
Commission
meeting.
On
behalf
of
the
Coalition
I
am
asking
these
comments
to
be
included
in
the
public
record
for
that
meeting.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
A
B
A
A
We'll
probably
need
to
shut
the
glass
doors,
but
not
completely
yeah.
Exactly
five
is
good.
Yes,
okay,
so
we're
on
to
report
so
Community
Council
boards
and
commissions
I'm
excited
about
this
one,
because
we're
going
to
talk
about
the
additional
funding
that
we
allocated
for
the
Arts
in
our
budget
this
year
and
so
Mr
Miyake.
Would
you
like
to
introduce
or.
T
Thank

You'll

a

of
about
how

budget.
T
Since
then,
the
arts
program
staff,
as
well
as
the
Arts
commission,
have
developed
and
implemented
an
application
and
review
process
and
have
developed
recommendations
for
these
additional
dollars,
as
well
as
other
Grant
dollars.
This
evening,
staff
are
seeking
the
council's
approval
of
the
Arts
commission
recommendations
for
the
2023
one-time

We
are
seeking
a
motion
from

W
Sorry,
we
are
looking
for
a
motion
from

the
grant
allocations
recommended
by
the
allocations
committee
and
approved
by
the
Arts
Commission,
with
that
I'll.
N

X
You
Laurie,
we
would
like
to
start
tonight
by
thank
you
thanking
Council
for
the
increased
investment
in
arts
and
culture
years
after
year.
The
Arts
commission
sees
as
an
incredible
needs
in
our
community
for
more
opportunities
to
engage
in
our
cultural
life,
ensure
artistic
Expressions.
This
one-time
conversion
of
CIP
funds
to
Arts
grants,
give
the
community
additional
resources
for
2023

provide
excellent

These
recommendations
have
been

combined
with
the
regular
2023

These
one-time

the
total
funding,
including
funding
from
external
sources,
from
Arc
grants
for
in
2023
to
281

that
in
the
next
two
slides
we'll
highlight
two
organizations
recommended
for
funding.
X
The
highest
scoring
applicants
was
Battlefield.
Youth,
Symphony,
Orchestra
ISO
will
perform
at
the
annual
4th
of
July
fireworks
celebration
in
Belfield
downtown
park.
Last
year's
concert
was
attended
by
over
50
000
people
who
were
able
to
enjoy
live
orchestra
music
for
free
bison's
4th
July
Orchestra
is
an
opportunity
over
to
the
most
advanced
students
at
no
cost.
X
X
The
additional
funding
for
this
grant
will
be
used
to
hold
the
annual
Northwest
Ukrainian
International
Festival
in
the
fall
in
Belleville.
Throughout
the
date
around
18
000
guests
will
visit
the
festival,
enjoy
music
dance,
eat,
delicious
Ukrainian,
Cuisine
and
learn
about
Ukrainian
arts
and
culture.
X
X
A
Y
Go
ahead,
you
know
I
just
wanted
to
to
say
this
is
so
exciting
that
we
were
able
to
provide
just
a
little
bit
more
budget
to
make
this
happen.
So,
although
we
weren't
able
to
fully
fund
the
281
thousand
dollars,
I
think
this
really
goes
a
long
ways
towards
creating
more
of
that
organ
culture
in
our
community
and
I.
Y
Remember
baiso
from
you
know
my
daughter's
best
friend
and
and
the
Ukrainian
Festival
is
really
meaningful,
because
we
continue
to
support
the
the
struggles
of
the
community
in
fighting
for
their
country,
and
so
I
am
glad
to
see
that
those
two
in
particular
were
lifted
up
a
little
bit
more
with
funding
and
that
we
actually
got
some
new
applications
too.
So,
thank
you
so
much
great.
A
Okay,
what's
that
councilmember
Lee.
D
This
is
a
good
program
and
the
thing
we
need
to
realize
is
just
feed
meat.
Just
small
needs
of
this
community
Community
has
grown
so
much
so
fast,
so
Multicultural
and
many
of
the
people
who
are
you
know,
need
of
showing
their
arts
and
culture
are
not
connected
to
the
city.
You
know,
because
we're
just
starting
to
learn
how
to
do
it,
and
so
it's
good
to
have
a
good
beginning.
D
So
my
thought
is
maybe
in
terms
of
just
having
big
Brands
to
Big
organizations
who
have
built
themselves
a
following,
and
maybe
we
need
to
identify
more
communities
of
different
culture,
backgrounds,
smaller
ones
and
because
they
all
need
to
have
help
to
you
know
multiply
to
grow.
So
this
is
a
great
program
and
we
need
to
do
more
and
I
think
we're
not
really
looking
that
much
money.
You
know
hundred
thousand
dollars
plus
what
you've
done
before
another
100
000.
D
D
A
Great
councilmember
Stokes.
Z
Yes,
thank
you
mayor,
as
liaison
for
the
Arts
commission.
You
know
I
appreciate
this
very
much.
I
know
how
much
the
commission
has
gone
through
and
working
on
this
and
and
really
looking
forward
to.
How
can
we
expand
the
funding,
because
the
expansion
of
the
Arts
is
is
really
tremendous
at
this
time
and
they
did
a
fantastic
job
of
working
through
this
and
really
appreciate
that,
and
it's
going
to
add
quite
a
bit
to
our
our
focus,
and
this
is
something
we
can
build
on
for
the
future.
Z
So
I
certainly
am
ready
to
vote
for
and
appreciate
what
the
the
commission
has
done
and
the
staff
are
working
together
and
looking
forward
to
it.
A
Great
I
think
that
we've
all
had
a
chance
to
express
what
the
other
ones
were
thinking,
so
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
opposed
terrific.
Thank
you
for
your
good
work.
Thank
you
appreciate
it.
Okay,
we
have
some
Council
business
to
take
care
of

for
an
excusal.
Would
you
like
to

Opposed
okay,
we
have
two
study

items:
let's
go
ahead
and
start
with
the
first
one,
we'll
take
a
break
after
the
first
one,
Mr
Miyaki.
Could
you
sure.
T
Thank
you
mayor
council
members.
The
first
study
session
topic
on
your
agenda
is
an
update
on
the
apprenticeship
utilization
requirements,
just
by
way
background
per
Council
Direction
at
the
February
27th
meeting
staff
conducted
additional
stakeholder
Outreach
to
inform
development
of
the
apprenticeship
program
elements
before
especially
before
returning
tonight.
With
a
draft
ornate.
Tonight's
staff
will
review
those
portfolio's
revisions
with
of
the
proposed
elements.
T
At
least
they
will
be
proposed
revisions
to
what
you
saw
at
the
council
meeting
on
the
27th.
So,
following
the
presentation,
we
are
seeking
council's
direction
to
prepare
an
orange
for
adoption
at
a
future
meeting
to
establish
apprenticeship
utilization
requirements
for
certain
Public
Works
projects.
So
joining
us
at
the
table
is
our
Ira
mcpano
assistant,
director
of
our
finance
and
asset
management
department,
as
well
as
Kathy
gurla,
our
City
attorney
with
that
I'm
going
to
hand
it
over
to
Yara
to
begin
presentation.
AA
Thank
you
Mr,
Miyaki
and
good
evening,
mayor
Deputy,
Mayor
and
council
members.
As
Mr
Miyaki
mentioned.
We
were
last
here
on
February
27th
to
discuss
the
draft
apprenticeship
utilization
program
and
we're
bringing
back
some
revisions
tonight
based
on
feedback
that
we
obtained
from
our
stakeholder
Community
after
you
directed
us
to
do
so.
So
we'll
walk
through
what
that
feedback
was
at
a
high
level
and
then
we'll
also
discuss
House
Bill
1050,
which
we've
heard
a
little
bit
about
already
tonight.
AA
AA
All
right,
so
our
stakeholder
Outreach
process
following
the
February
27th
meeting,
we
set
up
a
a
website
for
apprenticeship
utilization
Outreach
as
long
as
well
as
a
an
online
survey.
The
website,
the
survey
as
well
as
our
focus
group
sessions,
were
advertised
to
the
public
through
a
news
release,
as
well
as
on
social
media
and
directed
emails
to
about
60
stakeholders.
AA
We
received
robust
feedback
through
that
process.
It
was
very
valuable.
We
learned
a
lot
through
the
process
and
we're
very
appreciative
of
the
time
that
the
stakeholders
invested
to
come
and
and
talk
to
us
I
think
that
some
of
them
spent
several
hours
over
the
course
of
this
process
providing
feedback
and
we're
very
appreciative
again.
AA
All
of
the
elements
that
we
heard
there's
a
couple
of
you
know
different
positions
that
that
came
through
in
that,
and
so,
as
we
were
navigating
what
changes
we
wanted
to
recommend
to
the
program,
we're
trying
to
make
sure
that
we
were
taking
a
fair
and
balanced
approach
to
that
that
process
and
making
sure
that
we
were
well
founded
in
bringing
this
back
and
that
we
were
taking
into
consideration
what
is
likely
to
be
enacted
in
House
Bill
1050,
which
we'll
talk
through
further.
AA
So
the
first
element
of
feedback
is
on
the
contract
threshold.
This
is
the
what
sets
the
dollar
amount
at
which
a
public
works
contract
would
be
subject
to
the
apprenticeship
utilization.
The
feedback.
The
Spectrum
here
was
that
some
felt
that
one
million
was
fine.
It's
relatively
standard
across
the
the
industry,
others
sought
to
both
raise
the
contract
threshold
to
a
higher
amount.
We
got
varying
feedback
on
this
that
ranged
from
just
more
than
a
million
to
5
million,
and
then
there
was
also
a
request
to
set
a
minimum
construction
duration.
AA
So,
for
example,
if
a
project
took
fewer
than
90
construction
days
to
construct
the
the
request
was
to
exempt
those
shorter
term
programs
or
projects.
The
staff
recommendation
is
to
increase
the
threshold,
the
two
million
dollars.
This
threshold
change
is
not
only
responsive
to
the
feedback,
but
it
would
also
help
reduce
impacts
to
the
small
business
community
and
it
would
also
allow
us
to
focus
our
program
resources.
AA
So
the
impact
of
reducing
or
increasing
the
threshold
to
2
million
would,
but
it
would
reduce
the
number
of
Co
of
contracts
that
are
subject
to
the
requirement
from
around
11
per
year
to
eight
per
year,
so
that
eight
per
year
is
if
the
contract
threshold
was
increased
to
2
million
and
the
annual
spend
would
diminish
from
about
53
million
to
48
million.
So
that's
about
a
nine
percent
decrease
in
the
amount
of
expenditure
on
the
contracts
that
would
be
subject
to
the
apprenticeship
utilization
requirement.
AA
This
two
million
dollar
threshold,
where
this
is
what
we
would
propose
absent,
House
Bill
1050
moving
forward,
but
we
do
have
to
be
responsive
to
that
and
ensure
that
we
would
be
compliant
with
House
Bill
1050
as
sort
of
the
floor
of
what
we
would
have
moving
forward
in
terms
of
the
minimum
construction
duration,
we're
not
proposing,
including
that
we
think
that
between
the
increase
in
the
threshold,
as
well
as
the
other
criteria
that
we
have
for
waivers,
we
can
address
the
concerns
that
came
through
that.
AA
We
also
received
some
feedback
from
folks
who
have
lived
experience
as
apprentices
around
the
duration
of
projects
that
that
those
shorter
duration
projects
were
not
a
concerned
for
them
as
apprentices
and
that
they
actually
appreciated
some
of
the
movement
from
job
to
job
and
the
variety
that
they
got
in
their
work
through
some
of
those
those
projects.
We
also
looked
at
some
of
the
existing
apprenticeship
utilization
that
has
taken
place
on
City
contracts,
and
we
have
several
instances
where
we've
used
apprentices
for
a
shorter
duration
of
time
than
what
would
be
proposed
under
that
framework.
AA
So
phasing
that
in
over
three
years,
where
the,
for
example,
the
the
dollar
amount
for
the
contract
might
go
from
5
million
to
3
million
to
2
million
or
whatever
numbers
you
pick
and
the
apprenticeship
ratio
would
move
up
from,
say:
five
percent
ten
percent
fifteen
percent,
the
feedback
around
that
some
felt
that
it
was
not
needed
that
the
they
were
ready
to
go
with
the
program
as
proposed,
and
then
others
felt
that
that
three-year
phasing
would
be
a
good
idea.
AA
When
we
looked
at
this,
our
recommendation
would
be
to
phase
in
the
enforcement
rather
than
phasing
in
the
program
requirements.
So
this
would
give
us
an
opportunity
to
release
a
a
fully
fledged
program,
except
for
the
enforcement
component
and
really
learn
the
process
with
the
full
set
of
requirements
in
the
program
and
go
from
there
all
right.
AA
The
the
feedback
included
a
request
to
have
a
three
strike
policy.
So
three
strikes
over
two
years
with
some
of
the
specific
feedback
that
we
heard.
If
you
go
back
to
the
threshold
discussion,
add
a
two
million
dollar
threshold.
We
would
expect
to
see
about
eight
contracts
per
year
be
subject
to
the
utilization
and
because
those
contracts
are
spread
over
different
departments
and
different
construction
types
and
among
other
contract.
You
know
the
pool
of
contractors.
AA
We
don't
actually
see
a
high
level
of
repeat
contractors
who
are
contractors
who
are
getting
repeat
contracts
within
the
same
year.
Rather
we
see
where
we
do
have
repeat
contractors
what
we're
they're
they're
working
on
about
one
project
per
year
for
those
repeat
customers.
So
if
we
had
a
three
strike
policy
over
two
years,
you
could
effectively
never
enforce
that
against
most
of
our
contractors,
because
they're
simply
not
working
on
enough
projects.
AA
So
again,
our
proposal
would
be
that
you
would
enforce
on
a
two-strike
policy,
so
somebody
would
be
able
to
if
they
made
a
mistake,
the
first
time
we'd.
Let
them
know
that
they
had
failed
to
meet
the
requirement,
but
there
would
be
no
enforcement
action
and
then,
if
they
came
back
and
did
another
project
within
the
next
five
years
and
again
failed
to
meet
it,
that's
when
enforcement
would
take
place.
We
do
want
to
say
that
building
the
strong
relationships
with
our
with
our
contractors
is
very
much
a
shared
goal.
AA
We
heard
some
feedback
on
that
tonight.
We
really
do
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
a
good
job
of
providing
early
supportive
assistance
to
our
contractors
that
we
are
monitoring
over
the
course
of
a
project
if
they
are
not
achieving
the
requirements
that
are
set
forth
in
the
contract,
that
we
have
conversations
with
them,
and
we
are
very
upfront
and
open
about
what
what
steps
the
contractors
need
to
take
in
order
to
qualify
for
a
good
faith
effort.
So
that's
we.
AA
AA
We
got
a
lot
of
feedback
as
well
around
small
business
impacts.
The
feedback
that
we
received
was
that
we
should
provide
support
and
technical
assistance,
as
well
as
reporting
to
understand
the
impacts
on
small
women
and
minority-owned
businesses,
and
that
we
should
create
a
blanket
exemption
for
those
programs
for
those
entities
to
effectively
remove
them
from
the
program.
AA
Our
recommendation
is
that
we
do
provide
that
support
the
technical
assistance
and
Reporting,
including
reporting
on
women
in
moderate
women
and
minority
and
Veteran
owned
businesses
and
small
businesses.
We
also
feel
that
we're
addressing
this
through
the
increase
of
the
threshold,
but
we
don't
feel
that
we
should
be
creating
an
exemption
for
a
couple
of
reasons.
One
is
we
feel
that
we
can
achieve
the
outcome
of
both
programs.
We
can.
AA
We
have
seen
examples
of
other
jurisdictions
that
are
delivering
both
on
their
apprenticeship
utilization
programs
and
on
increasing
their
usage
of
women
and
minority
on
businesses
as
well.
Small
businesses
and
Veteran
owned
businesses.
That's
an
important
goal
for
us,
and
we
definitely
want
to
continue
that
work
as
an
agency
and
improve
our
efforts
there.
We
think
that
we
can
deliver
on
both
the
other
thing
is
we
don't
see
this
exemption
in
the
other
programs
that
have
been
implemented
across
the
state,
including
the
state's
program
which
would
apply
to
us
following
1050.
AA
So
the
components
that
we've
talked
about
previously
would
be
those
that
would
be
incorporated
in
the
ordinance
that
would
be
applied
directly
in
city
code
beyond
what
would
be
in
codes.
There
are
several
other
elements
that
we
receive
feedback
on,
that
we
would
address
through
our
administrative
policies
and
procedures.
AA
That
pre-bid
review
is
something
that
we
would
include,
as
well
as
the
clear
documentation,
the
waiver
criteria,
especially
for
good
faith
efforts,
and
this
is
where,
if
there
is
a
shortage
of
apprentices
for
a
particular
craft,
we
would
be
looking
to
identify
that
before
we
even
put
the
project
out
for
bid
and
then
if
we
did
go
out
to
bid
and
a
contractor
is
struggling
to
meet
that
requirement.
But
they
are
putting
forth
the
good
faith
efforts.
AA
AB
Considering
a
press,
ship
utilization
requirements
so
has
the
state
legislature
so
you've
you've
been
hearing
about
household
1050.
We
thought
it
might
be
important
to
explain
what
the
bill
does
where
it
stands
in
the
process
it
hasn't
been
adopted
yet
and
then
from
there
how
it
may
or
may
not
affect
any
ordinance
that
you
may
want
to
pass
before
the
bill
takes
or
not
before
it
takes
effect.
But
yes
before
it
takes
effect
in
July.
Excuse
me.
So
what
does
the
bill?
Do?
AB
The
state
apprenticeship
requirements
currently
only
apply
to
State
agencies
to
four-year
institutions
of
higher
education
into
school
districts.
So
what
this
bill
would
do
is
now
apply
apprenticeship,
utilization
requirements
to
municipalities,
including
cities,
and
it
takes
effect,
July,
1
2024..
So
as
of
July
1
of
2024
the
city,
if
a
bill
passes,
the
city
will
be
required
to
comply
with
the
state
apprenticeship
utilization
requirements
that
are
in
House
bill.
AB
1050.,
there's
currently
two
versions
of
the
bill
there,
so
it
hasn't
passed
yet
the
house
passed
a
bill
and
then
the
Senate
amended
the
house
bill.
So
we
can't
have
two
versions
of
the
bill.
So,
there's
a
concurrence
process
that
the
legislature
goes
through
to
try
to
reconcile
between
the
house
and
the
Senate,
and
the
legislature
is
in
that
process.
Right
now
they
have.
AB
AB
We
think
it's
likely
will
come
to
some
reconciliation
and
that
something
will
pass
out
and
they
have
until
siney
die
last
day
of
session
April
23rd
to
do
that,
assuming
they
pass
out
a
bill,
it
will
go
to
the
governor
and
the
governor
will
have
until
May
16
to
decide
whether
or
not
to
sign
it,
and
it's
there's
no
Intel.
That
suggests
that
the
governor
would
veto
it,
but
you
never
know
so.
AB
We
need
to
wait
until
May
16
to
know
for
sure
what
the
law
would
be
if
it
passes
out
the
main
difference
between
the
two
versions.
Is
the
threshold
amount?
The
dollar
amount
that
triggers
apprenticeship
requirements.
So
in
the
house
version
the
threshold
dollar
amount
is
a
million
dollars
so
contracts
with
an
estimated
cost
of
a
million
or
more
excuse
me
have
to
go
through.
You
know,
apprenticeship,
utilization
or
the
apprenticeship
utilization
requirements
apply
for
contracts
in
the
Senate
version.
They
have
a
phased
in
approach.
AB
It
starts
out
for
the
first
two
years
from
July
of
2024
to
26
of
2
million
and
then
for
the
next
two
years.
It
goes
down
from
26
to
28
to
a
million
and
a
half
contracts
that
have
a
cost
of
a
million
and
a
half
and
then
from
July
2028
from
thereafter.
It
applies
to
contracts
that
are
have
an
estimated
cost
of
a
million
or
or
more
so
that's
the
main
difference.
AB
The
Senate
version
also
expands
technical
assistance
and
gives
mrsc
a
role
as
well
as
labor
and
industries,
and
it
also
requires
labor
and
industries
to
study
the
outcomes
of
an
apprenticeship
program
in
terms
of
participation
by
women,
minority
and
veteran-owned
businesses.
So
the
Senate
version
has
a
study
requirement
for
l.
AB
I,
for
that,
the
assuming
a
bill
passes
A,
legislature
and
and
the
governor
staff
is
proposing
to
bring
an
ordinance
back
in
late
May,
because
again
the
governor
won't
decide
has
at
least
has
until
May
16
to
decide
so
staff
is
recommending
bringing
back
an
ordinance
in
late
may.
AB
We
think
we
can
incorporate
almost
all
of
what's
in
the
a
bill
if
looking
at
the,
how
the
current
House
and
Senate
versions,
with
the
exception
of
enforcement,
which
I'll
talk
about
in
a
minute
much
of
what
we
put
into
the
ordinance
that
you've
already
seen
actually
was
based
in
large
part
on
not
completely
but
in
large
part
on
what
was
in
state
law
already.
So
that's
good
news.
AB
The
the
threshold
amounts.
Once
we
see
what
those
are
the
dollar
amounts
we
actually
can
incorporate
those
into
an
ordinance.
So,
for
example,
if
the
house
bill
passes
and
it
and
it's
a
million,
then
we
can
pass
an
ordinance
if
the
council
chooses
to
do
so.
That
says:
it'll
be
2
million
until
July
1
2024,
and
then
it
will
drop
down
to
a
million,
so
we'll
be
consistent
with
the
state
law.
AB
Similarly,
if
the
Senate
version
passes,
we
can
come
back
with
an
ordinance
that
says
it
will
be
2
million
until
2026
and
then
it'll
go
down
to
a
million
and
a
half
and
then
in
2028
it'll
go
down
to
a
million,
so
we
can
incorporate
those
thresholds
into
an
ordinance
now
anticipatorily.
Based
on
what
passes
out
of
the
legislature,
we
may
need
to
make
some
minor
tweaks
to
the
waiver
and
exemption
language
in
substance.
AB
The
one
issue
that
is
not
the
same
is
the
enforcement
mechanism,
so,
as
as
you
recall,
and
as
as
Ira
was
talking
about
today,
what
was
in
the
ordinance
that
you
saw
was
a
debarment
process.
What
is
in
state
law
is
a
requirement
that
a
contract
include
Financial
incentives
for
contractors
who
meet
the
apprenticeship
goals
and
financial
penalties
for
contractors
who
do
not
meet
the
apprenticeship
goals.
So
that
is
a
very
different
approach
than
what
you
have
been
considering.
AB
So
what
we
would
anticipate
is,
as
I
mentioned,
labor
and
industries,
and
perhaps
also
mrsc
will
be
providing
guidance
to
to
municipalities
on
how
to
implement
this
bill,
including
the
enforcement
Provisions.
So
we
could
benefit
a
belief
from
getting
that
information
from
lni
and
mrsc,
seeing
how
what
they're
recommending
and
seeing
what
other
cities
do
and
then
coming
back
to
adjust
the
ordinance.
AB
So
if
you
pass
an
ordinance
in
in
May
of
this
year,
it
would
not
have
we're
not
proposing
that
it
include
Financial
incentives
and
penalties
rather
coming
back
after
we
have
the
benefit
of
technical
assistance,
which
would
probably
we're
not
going
to
see
till
the
end
of
this
year.
AB
Probably
November
or
December
is
the
information
that
we've
gotten
from
labor
and
industries
before
they'll
have
guidance.
So
we
would
come
back
sometime
after
that,
with
some
proposed
options
for
the
council
for
a
modified
apprenticeship
program
with
a
financial
penalties
and
incentives
in
it
I'm
going
to
turn
it
back
to
Ira.
AA
Thanks
Kathy,
so
if
the
the
state's
going
to
be
passing
this,
why
should
we
be
proceeding
at
present,
as
Kathy
mentioned,
if,
if
the
bill
is
passed,
it
wouldn't
take
effect
until
July
2024?
So,
although
delaying
action
and
waiting
for
the
house
bill
to
take
effect
is
an
option,
there
are
some
considerations
for
moving
forward
in
advance
of
that.
Bellevue
has
put
in
the
work
and
the
council
has
allocated
the
resources
to
prepare
the
program
for
the
for
implementation.
If
we
take
advantage
of
that
momentum,
we
can
implement
the
program
later
this
year.
AA
This
would
also
require
clear
communication
with
contractors,
so
they're
aware
of
what's
happening
and
why
the
enforcement
mechanism
is
likely
to
change,
but
even
if
we
don't
adopt
our
own
ordinance
now
and
the
state
and
acts
House
Bill
1050,
we
would
still
have
the
same
decision
to
make
on
penalties
and
incentives,
and
those
decisions
could
be
informed
by
the
actual
practice
of
running
the
program.
If
we
enacted
our
own.
AA
So
our
next
steps
again,
we
would
propose
returning
after
the
state
bill
is
finalized
in
late
May
with
an
ordinance.
If
that
ordinance
is
passed,
then
we
would
notify
contractors
to
let
them
know.
This
is
coming
up
during
the
summer
and
early
fall.
We
continued
work
and
build
out
our
administrative
policies,
the
the
procedures
and
the
documentation,
and
we
would
Implement
on
September
one
which
is
was
the
effective
date
of
our
proposed
ordinance.
The
wimby
program
is
a
separate
program,
but
I
wanted
to
highlight
that
because
well
separate.
AA
It
is
related
to
a
lot
of
the
topics
that
we're
talking
about
tonight
and
we'd,
be
planning
on
doing
program
Outreach
for
for
wimby
this
summer.
As
a
part
of
that
effort
with
that
I
believe
our
staff
presentation
is
complete
we'll
hand
it
over
to
you
for
any
questions.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
Genesee
did
you
have
anything
you
wanted
to
add
from
a
legislative
level.
L
I,
don't
think
I
have
anything
to
add
necessarily
but
I
wanted
to
be
available
in
case
we
had
any
questions.
I
could
help
answer.
Okay,.
A
Great.
Thank
you
so
council
members
on
what
we
start
with
you
and
we'll
move
on
up
the
dice
yeah.
Y
The
part
that
I
was
particularly
struck
by
were
some
comments
made
about
partnership,
focused
approaches
and
working
together,
because,
ultimately,
it's
going
to
take
the
the
companies,
as
well
as
the
workers
for
Success,
along
with
the
city,
so
I
I
appreciate
all
of
the
thoughtful
comments.
A
couple
of
things,
I
will
just
say,
is
I
I,
like
I'll.
Tell
you
the
things
that
I
like
and
then
some
other.
Maybe
my
comments
beyond
that.
Y
I,
like
the
fact
that
we're
talking
about
how
having
a
apprenticeship
utilization
plan
and
and
being
thoughtful
in
the
in
the
pre-construction
part
and
and
thinking
about
what
the
opportunities
might
be
to
right
size,
what
the
the
opportunities
are
and
whether
15
is
actually
achievable
or
not.
I,
like
the
early
technical
assistance
I
like
the
tracking
I,
like
the
support
during
construction.
Y
Y
That
seems
like
a
really
high
bar
to
for
our
contractors
to
be
expected
to
add
just
one
more
thing
at
bedtime
and
then
the
piece
around
compliance
I
keep
thinking
about
what
is
our
desired
outcome
and
that's
really
to
leverage
our
city
Investments
to
support
Workforce
and
apprenticeship,
and
so
to
that
end,
I
would
strongly
recommend
that
we
not
put
anything
in
related
to
enforcement.
While
we
learn
so
in
this
first
year.
This
is
an
opportunity
for
us.
We
often
do
pilots
in
the
city.
Y
So
in
a
way
this
is
similar
to
having
a
pilot
where
we
are
putting
something
out
there
and
we're
gonna
get
you
even
mentioned
at
Ira.
We
will
be
more
informed
as
we
run
our
own
program
and
I.
Think
it'll
also
give
us
an
opportunity,
as
you
said,
to
to
get
guidance
from
l.
I
mrsc
other
public
agencies
that
are
already
doing
these
apprenticeship
programs
to
really
understand
what
are
the
incentive
and
penalties
that
get
to
the
outcome.
Y
We're
trying
to
do
because
I
would
be
really
concerned
if
we're
focusing
on
compliance
first
versus
getting
the
kind
of
outcome
we're
trying
to
to
reach
in
a
partnership
with
our
contractors,
so
I
I
would
be
supportive
of
moving
forward
with
an
ordinance
but
making
sure
that
we're
not
jumping
the
gun
or
or
putting
the
poor
cart
before
the
horse
of
putting
an
enforcement
in,
especially
if
we're
not
even
gonna,
to
implement
it
until
a
year
from
now.
So
those
are
a
couple
of
of
my
thoughts.
A
A
Sorry,
thank
you,
I'm,
going
to
ask
Ira
that
you
clarify
a
little
bit
the
impact
of
the
enactment
of
the
state
law
to
the
enforcement.
So
do
do
the
state
law
have
enforcement
criteria
in
it
that
then
we
would
adopt
if
we'd
have
to
adopt
if
it
was
enacted.
So
can
you
can
you
speak
to
that?
Please,
yes,.
AA
So
as
as
contemplated
and
with
and
I
appreciate,
your
patience
and
diligence
in
working
through
this,
it's
a
whole
lot
of
fun
working
through
a
project.
That's
where
we're
working
through
our
the
the
creation
of
our
program
and
we're
trying
to
coordinate
that
with
the
state
as
well.
So
thank
you
for
the
question
so
as
contemplated,
we
would
bring
back
the
ordinance.
AA
It
would
have
the
debarment
the
two
strikes
in
five
years
enforcement
provision
in
it,
but
that
enforcement
would
not
be
slated
to
take
place
until
a
year
after
the
in
the
program
takes
effect.
So
our
program
would
take
effect
in
September
of
2023
and
then
enforcement
would
not
take
place
until
2024.,
and
then
you
overlay
the
on
the
top
of
that
house
bill
1050,
which
has
the
enforcement
that
is
through
the
financial
incentives
and
penalties,
and
that
house
bill
would
not
take
effect
until
July
2024..
AA
So
what
we're
saying
is
that
if
the
house
bill
1050,
passes
you're
correct
and
that
our
enforcement
provision
would
likely
never
be
enforced
because
before
it
got
to
its
date,
which
is
September
of
2024,
we
would
come
back
to
amend
our
ordinance
to
ensure
that
it's
compliant
with
house
bill,
1050.,
Kathy.
Anything
that
you
would
add
to
that.
No.
H
Y
Described,
which
is
if
we
are
starting
this
for
a
year
we're
going
to
learn.
Why
would
we
actually
pre-bake
in
a
two
strikes
you're
out
when
the
state
law
is
contemplating
having
both
incentives
and
penalties,
and
it
sounds
like
all
we're
doing-
is
putting
in
a
penalty
and
I'm
really
concerned
about
the
idea
that
if
there
was
a
second
strike,
you
could
fail
in
a
contract?
Y
That's
two
million
dollars
and
you're
barred
from
bidding
any
contracts,
even
fifty
thousand
dollars,
so
I
I,
don't
see
that
it
doesn't
seem
like
that
is
a
just
type
of
penalty
and
I
think
that
the
state
in
the
current
law
that
already
is
enacted
for
you,
know,
state
agencies
higher
ed
and
K-12.
They
are
not
creating
only
a
penalty
without
an
upside
and
as
I
understand
for
some
of
them
they're
they're,
using
a
a
dollar
value
of
a
penalty.
Y
E
All
right,
thank
you,
mayor
first
thank
you,
IRA
and
and
Kathy
and
Genesee,
and
the
rest
of
staff
for
bringing
this
back
and
for
the
as
soon
as
you
did,
especially
given
the
fair
and
robust
process
stakeholder
Outreach
process
that
you
had
one
of
the
things
that
I
think
is
really
interesting
about
bringing
this
forward.
E
Today,
too,
is
we're,
looking
essentially
at
affordability
overall
right
we're
looking
at
ways,
we
could
reduce
the
cost
of
living
through
affordable
housing
with
the
ioc
later,
but
this
one
looks
at
how
we
can
increase
economic
mobility
and
opportunity
through
apprenticeship.
So
just
that
wasn't
lost
on
me
and
I
appreciate
that
I
guess
I
would
say,
I
think
this
is
a
good
compromise.
E
You
know
we
talked
I
think
last
week
about
you
know
being
able
to
move
forward
with
a
good
compromise
and
just
wanted
to
call
that
out
and
saying
you
know,
I
I
think,
although
the
state
is
has
is
working
on
house
bill,
1050.
I
think
there's
an
opportunity
here
for
us
to
deliver
value
to
our
community
before
that
happens,
and
I
guess
I
would
also
say.
I
totally
agree
with
your
point
about
beginning
implementation
and
taking
the
lessons
learned
and
I
would
say.
E
Maybe
mayor
I
think
you
had
mentioned
and
waiting
to
bring
this
back
until
after
the
governor
and
X,
or
takes
action
and
I
guess
or
after
it's
enacted,
I
guess
I
would
just
say
maybe
after
that
date,
because
we
don't
know
right,
I
mean
you
said:
there's
no
intelligence
to
suggest
that
he
won't
that
the
governor
won't
sign
it,
but
I
wouldn't
want
to
gate
it
on
whether
the
governor
signs
it
or
not.
So
I
would
just
say
after
that,
whatever
that
sign
date,
the
end
date
is
so
I
think.
E
I'm
I'm
open
to
waiting,
I
guess
I
would
just
say:
if
the
governor
doesn't
sign
it,
then
we
will
still
need
to
revisit
enforcement,
so
I
would
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
would
revisit,
but
it
makes
sense
to
hold
off
on
it
just
given
that
the
state
law
would
supersede
the
decision
before
we
would
ever
do
any
enforcement
anyway.
E
A
E
D
Thank
you
mad
at
me
thanks
for
looking
at
this.
This
is
very
important.
You
know
apprenticeship,
because
we
don't
know
how
important
it
is
to
work
on
Workforce
development.
You
know
we
also
had
a
goal
of
bringing
manufacturing
jobs
back
to
United
States,
and
we
also
know
we
need
to
have
a
growing
middle
class
or
middle
class
is
not
growing.
We
got
a
whole
bunch
of
brain
people
that
are
decoding,
but
they
know
how
to
make
things
happen,
so
we're
losing
our
employment,
our
jobs
overseas.
D
So
this
is
very
important
to
the
United
States
and
to
us
to
be
competitive.
We
got
to
be
able
to
provide
those
assets
and
abilities,
so
I
think
it's
important
to
me.
I
also
agree
because
it
is
important
we're
going
to
encourage
it
and
that's
not
the
situation
now,
so
we're
going
to
do
everything
we
can
possibly
to
do
it
successfully.
So
I
agree
that
we
don't
want
to
make
it
even
before
it
starts
to
be.
D
You
know
scaring
people
that
we
provide
penalties
say
well,
if
you
don't
meet
it
you're
out
of
the
picture,
you
know
and
we
put
in
a
lot
of
Provisions.
Well,
if
you
do
this,
it
won't
work.
I
think
we
cannot
do
that.
Otherwise
people
will
apply
small,
especially
wmbes.
You
know
they
depend
on
small
contracts
and
if,
if
it's
one
strike
two
strike
or
three
strikes
out,
why?
Why
bother?
D
Why
waste
of
time,
right
and
so
I,
don't
think
the
accomplish
our
goal
or
purpose
so
I
believe
that
we
need
to
make
it
as
straightforward
as
simple
as
encouraging
as
possible,
with
incentives
with
help
that
we
can
provide
them
to
be
successful.
You
know
with
the
resources
and
I
agree
with
the
council
members
on
that.
We
need
to
make
sure
that,
regardless
of
what
the
state
does
or
anybody
does,
in
fact
you
know
we
still
need
to
do
this.
We
need
to
pay
attention.
How
do
we
encourage
especially
wmbs,
you
know?
D
That's
the
equity
you're
talking
about
that's
where
the
workforce
is
going
to
be
and
also
changing,
business
is
going
to
be,
and
so
I
feel
that
one
good
thing
is
that
you
know
Kathy
mentioned
you
mentioned
we
it's
not
causing
concrete.
Okay,
we
have
opportunity
I
you
mentioned,
but
the
question
is:
what
are
we
waiting
for
if
it's
opportunity
to
treat
I
like
that,
because
whatever
we
do,
it
has
to
be
flexible,
we
see
what
state
legisl
does
if
they
do.
D
Whatever
is
consistent
with
what
we
want
help
to
achieve
our
goal.
I
like
that
a
lot
and
because
this
also
provides
us
time
to
experiment
to
see.
While
we
have
these
Provisions
within
this
period,
when
the
state
legislature
is
completed,
are
we
moving
the
right
right
direction?
Are
we
proving
to
be
the
case?
Are
people
responding
if
people
say
no,
it's
not
good
enough.
We
don't
even
sign
up
anyway,
so
we
might
want
to
do
something
different.
D
You
know
if
the
state
programs,
let's
just
says
we,
can
help
you,
we
may
be
able
to
influence
them
with
our
example.
With
our
experience
see,
if
we
do
this,
we
can
increase,
encourage
you
and
let's
compare
with
what
the
state
legislature
is
thinking
about.
So
I
like
to
number
one
make
sure
it's
incentivized
not
penalized
in
number
two
encourage
them
instead
of
discouragement,
even
though
we
don't
do
it
now,
but
we
put
the
prospect
like
because
Amazon
said
well:
if
you
don't
meet
it,
you
might
lose
everything
that
won't
work.
D
Then
why
would
they
bother?
Nobody
wants
to
take
the
risk
right.
So
I
think
this
is
something
really
consider
and
I
like
to
raise
flexibility.
Give
us
opportunity
to
test
it
to
see
how
it
works
right.
That's
lastly,
I
hear
that
AGC,
you
know
they
have
some
disagreement
with
you
like
whether
five
million
dollars
one
million
dollars
and
they
were
concerned
a
bit
about.
D
You
know
wmb,
because
that's
important
too,
even
though
we're
addressing
it
now,
but
it's
a
program
that
we
need
to
address
yeah,
so
I
hope
it
kind
of
ties
into
it,
not
just
say.
Well,
we
don't
care
about
my.
You
know
wmb.
If
it
doesn't
fit,
it
doesn't
matter
so
I
I
would
like
to
I
know.
I
also
appreciate
your
stakeholder
you
into
into
the
60s
stakeholder.
D
That's
good
thanks
to
you,
but
it
seemed
to
be
a
difference
still
of
opinion
between
AGC
and
you,
so
I'm
no
expert
in
all
this
stuff,
and
why
there's
you
know
I
always
say
that
that
was
in
the
detail.
So
I
like
to
see
what
you
might
tell
me:
what's
the
difference,
why
is,
are
you
different
from
HGC?
D
AA
Please
yeah
sure
thank
you,
and
so
coming
back
to
some
of
the
feedback
that
we
heard
in
that
being
a
spectrum,
we
did
hear
some
feedback
from
the
AGC
and
from
some
of
the
other
contract
folks
on
the
contractor
side,
that
was
different
than
the
feedback
that
we
received
from
labor
and
others.
So
we
were
trying
to
weigh
the
the
relative
feedback
that
we
received.
We
were
also
looking
at
what
can
we
put
into
action
that
would
be
effective.
That
would
be
consistent
with
both
the
existing
state
law
and
the
state
law.
J
D
A
So
I
hear
councilmember
lee
echoing
council
members,
On's
request
to
incentivize,
but
not
penalize.
So
maybe,
as
we
comment,
we
can
reference
that
and
see
where
the
council
stands.
A
I
think
that
this
is
a
win-win
I,
think
it's
great
for
the
apprentices
that
will
benefit
from
a
program
and
more
utilization
and
I
think
it's
great
for
our
community
to
have
skilled
workers
coming
through
the
workforce
and
that
just
makes
for
a
better
construction.
So
I
really
appreciate
this
coming
before
us
and
that
we
can
implement
this.
Finally,
I
saw
that
you
know
we
have
a
women
minorities
Business
program
that
we
support
and
the
state
has
a
women
minority
veterans
program
and
I
wonder
how
that
inconsistency.
A
If
we
need,
if
we
should
add
veterans
to
our
program,
if
that
would
be
a
hard
thing
to
do,
or
if
we
at
least
we
should
add
it
to
this
program,
so
like
to
hear
your
thoughts
on
that
I
think
this
is
a
good
compromise.
We've
heard
a
lot
from
both
sides
and
the
reality
is
whatever
the
state
passes.
We're
going
to
have
to
implement.
So
you
know
whether
we
put
in
a
penalty
now
that
will
be
implemented
later,
maybe
maybe
not
I
I.
A
Don't
really
care
honestly,
because
I
think
that
whatever
whether
the
state
passes
it
or
don't
doesn't
pass
it
that
will
come
up
then
so
I
I'm
good
with
your
recommendation
personally,
but
any
any
thoughts
on
including
veterans
to
the
group
that
we
support.
AA
Yes,
I
think
largely
some
of
that's
nomenclature
and
where
we
have
some
of
our
abbreviations
for
this,
the
the
city's
existing
plan
is
the
is
actually
referred
to
as
the
PDI
or
the
procurement
diversity
inclusion
plan.
So
it's
not
exclusive
of
efforts
to
you
know,
provide
Outreach
and
support
for
veteran-owned
businesses.
AA
C
You
mayor
good
night:
you
just
want
to
Echo
the
appreciation
for
reaching
out
to
all
the
stakeholders
really
appreciate
that
and
regardless,
if
they
agreed
or
disagreed
with
some
of
your
recommendations.
Tonight,
I
know
that
that
appreciation
is
there
for
letting
them
be
heard
and
the
amount
of
time
and
effort
you
put
into
that
Outreach.
So,
thank
you
very
much.
That's
really!
C
That's
really
important,
especially
kind
of
the
the
second
time
around
I
I
won't
rehash
all
the
the
the
benefits
to
this
apprenticeship
program
and
in
favor
it
from
from
day
one
and
don't
want
us
to
lose
sight
of
the
fact
that
it
was
counselor
Barca
brought
this
forward
and
I
appreciate
his
his
leadership
on
this,
as
we
continue
to
make
our
way
down
this
path.
A
couple
couple
of
quick
questions,
some
just
for
clarification,
especially
for
those
watching
or
listening
this
evening,
the
2
million
dollar
threshold.
C
What
does
that
translate
roughly
into
if
you
can
to
the
duration
of
of
a
project
and
how
many
projects
are
at
the
2
million
level
and
and
higher?
That
was
one
of
my
questions,
a
comment
and
on
the
enforcement
piece.
C
I
agree
with
councilman
I'd
be
okay
with
just
leaving
that
out
right
now,
even
though
Ira
I
think
you
explained
that
it
really
would
never
take
effect,
because
we
would
have
to
implement
the
state's
recommendation
on
1050.
So
I
would
never
really
take
effect.
So,
but
just
in
terms
of
there's
just
something
and
having
it
in
there
about
disbarment,
which
just
doesn't
really
sit
really
well
with
me.
To
be
honest,
I
mean
we.
We
talk
about
wanting
to
be
partners,
but
yet
step
out
of
line.
C
C
But
this
whole
process
right
now
is
just
a
little
bit
tricky
and
personally
I
just
wish
this
could
have
came
to
us
after
the
16th,
because
then
we
would
have
known
if
the
the
bill
had
passed,
then
we
would
have
known
if
the
governor
signed
it
and
then
we
would
know
exactly
what
we're
dealing
here
with
and
we
could
still
Implement
our
version
of
this
earlier
and
I
know
we
still
can,
but
it
just
feels
like
we're
putting
the
cart
before
the
horse
a
little
bit
here
and
we're
all
up
here
a
little
bit
guessing
about
what
it
will
and
won't
contain.
C
You
know
so
that
would
have
been
my
my
preference
I
think
that
would
have
been
just
a
little
bit
cleaner.
I
know
we
can
work
around
it.
I
know:
we've
got
momentum,
you're,
absolutely
right!
Iron
I!
Don't
want
to
slow
down
that
moment
Phantom,
but
it's
then
again,
it's
only
next
month,
but
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
continuing
to
to
move
this
forward.
C
So,
like
I
said,
I
had
the
one
question
about
that:
20
million
as
well
as
I
just
wanted
to
raise
the
one
question
that
came
up
as
well,
for
it
was
for
one
of
the
letters
I
believe
was
from
the
Northwest
minority.
Builders
Alliance
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
this
ordinance
doesn't
in
any
way
restrict
women
and
minority
owned
contractors
from
bidding
on
city
of
Bellevue
projects.
C
I
just
want
that
that
that
reassurance,
just
because
I
just
heard
a
little
bit
of
conflicting
back
and
forth
on
that
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that's
and
I'm
sure
you've
thought
about
that
and
how
to
implement
it.
So
it
won't,
but
I
just
want
some
some
some
reinsurance
on
that.
So
I'll
leave
you
with
those
two
questions.
Thank
you.
A
C
A
AC
A
A
C
If
I
understand
yes,
I'd
be
in
favor
of
it
coming
back
regardless
of
these
signs
or
doesn't
sign,
because
we'll
have
more
information,
we'll
know
exactly
where
we
stand
at
that
point.
So
yes,
I
would
be
in
favor
of
that.
Thank
you,
yeah,
okay,.
D
AC
D
D
Yes,
that's
good,
let's
see
what
it
fits
our
requirement
if
it
fits
well.
If
they
have
the
penalty
penalty,
I'm
gonna
go
support
it,
but
if
it's
not
penalty,
if
it's
agreed
with
what
we
agreed
to
that's
what
I
go
for
so
I'm
not
going
to
just
automatically
surrender
to
the
state
legislation.
So
what
this
is
the
way
it
is
and
I
spiral
our
head
and
just
go
away.
I
hope,
Alex,
don't
go
away.
We're.
A
A
AA
It
yes,
so
thank
you
and
regarding
the
two
million
dollar
threshold,
we
would
expect
that
with
the
two
million
dollar
threshold,
eight
contracts
give
or
take
per
year-
and
this
is
based
on
an
analysis
of
the
last
five
years
in
the
contracts
that
you
know,
Public
Work
contracts
that
exceed
that
threshold.
We'd
expect
eight
per
year
in
terms
of
how
many
construction
days
I
don't
have
that
information
right,
you
know
available.
AA
There
is
very
there's
a
lot
of
variability
depending
on
the
type
of
construction
and
how
it's
bid
out.
I
I
would
expect
that
I'm
hesitant
to
even
give
a
an
estimate.
My
estimate
would
probably
be
around
100
days,
but
there
would
be
some
that
are
in
excess
of
that
and
some
that
are
below
okay
in
terms
of
the
ordinance
and
restricting
women
and
minority-owned
businesses.
AA
The
ordinance
itself
does
not
restrict
anybody,
but
it
does
place
the
requirement
to
comply,
and
so
I
think
where
some
of
the
that
question
or
thought
process
may
come
from
is
that
a
higher
percentage
of
small
businesses
have
a
tendency
to
not
be
using
apprentices
currently,
and
so
it
would
be
a
shift
in
their
business
practices
to
move
into
apprenticeship
and
that
may
present
a
a
higher
bar
for
participation
for
them
to
be
able
to
bid
on
these
projects.
If
it's
not
something
that
they're
doing
currently.
AA
So
that's
part
of
the
technical
assistance
that
we
would
be
looking
to
pulling
data
to
understand
what
those
impacts
are
and
how
that
the
apprenticeship
utilization
is
changing
shifting
if
it
does
shift
the
pool
of
contractors
and
then
looking
to
other
other
states
and
agencies,
especially
that
report
that
maybe
coming
through
if
the
Senate
version
passes,
that
would
give
a
lot
of
information
to
us
about
how
apprenticeship
programs
across
the
state
are
impacting
women
and
minority-owned
contractors.
Okay,.
C
Great,
like
the
technical
support
with
language
Services,
be
available,
then
as
well
to
be
able
to
communicate
the
technical
highlights
or
technical
aspects
of
the
program.
Yes,
I
mean
okay,
great
and
then,
if
you
could,
when
you
come
back,
if
you
could
do
just
a
little
bit
of
research
on
the
duration
based
on
past
projects
of
2
million
and
what
that
looks
like,
that
would
be
great.
Thank
you.
Z
Thank
you,
you
know,
I
think
you've
done
a
really
tremendous
job
on
this
and
there
are
on
anything.
There
are
differences
of
opinion
at
all
I
think
they're,
but
we're
to
the
heart
of
what
we
really
need
in
this
I
think
we're
pretty
much
together
on
it.
Z
I
agree
with
I
appreciate
the
mayor's
comments
about
it
and
the
way
she's
looking
at,
and
that's
and
actually
the
deputy
member
I'm
kind
of
looking
at
that.
That
way
and
I
think
on
the
issue
of
the
the
one
that
concerns
me
is
on
the
issue
of
enforcement
enforcements.
Z
Z
They
can't
just
go
off
in
some
tangent
on
something
so
they're
good
standard.
We
can
come
with
good
standards
on
it
there
it
and
it
has
responsibility
and
has
accountability
there
and
I
think
any
organization
that
is
really
wanting
to
be
in
the
front
working
on
these
things
will
agree
with
that.
They
want
to
be
seen
as
an
organization
that
is
is
responsible.
Z
If
we
had
one
year,
I
think
there'd
be
a
real
problem
and
we're
not
talking
about
just
if
they
do
one
thing
they're
out
and
we'll
make
sure
on
that,
but
I
think
that
has
a
good
piece
in
there.
It
actually
helps
the
public.
It
helps
the
the
builders
and
the
union
to
understand
that
we
all
want
to
work
together
and
we'll
work
with
them,
but
everybody-
all
of
everybody
involved,
has
to
take
some
responsibility
to
make
things
work.
So
I,
don't
I'm
not
worried
about
that.
Z
I,
don't
think
it's
going
to
be
something
that's
going
to
be
negative.
In
fact,
I
think
it
would
be
a
positive
in
terms
of
getting
people
outside
of
the
the
apprentices
and
then
unions
to
work
with
it,
with
the
understanding
that
we're
all
have
accountability,
but
we
all
have
it
in
a
very
good
Fair
way
and
I
think
that's
what
we've
done.
I
think
the
whole
program
really
set
up
in
a
very
positive
way
and
I
not
worry
about
you
know,
coming
back
and
I
think
we
have
the
time
period
in
there.
Z
It
really
helps
us
go
forward
on
this.
We
can
make
a
decision
now
and
whatever
the
legislature
does,
then
we
adjust
to
that
and
like
most
things,
we
can
I
think
it's
a
really
good
program
set
up
as
it
is
a
lot
of
work's
gone
into
it,
and
we
can.
Z
We
can,
you
know
parse
this
thing
for
a
long
time
and
not
change
a
whole
lot
and
I
think
we're
at
that
point
where
we
have
a
really
good
package,
and
we
understand
where
there's
some
of
the
things
we
want
to
be
careful
about,
and
then
we
can
move
forward
the.
So
if
one
question
ahead
is
if
the
legislature
does
something
or
doesn't
do
anything,
if
they
don't
do
anything,
then
we
can
go
forward
if
they
do
something.
AB
H
G
So
when
I
think
about
public
bidding
the
goals
and
the
public
policy
reasons
for
having
government
agencies
go
through
public
biddings
bidding
requirements
is
to
create
an
even
playing
field
and
to
make
sure
that
there's
no
back
Channel
dealing
and
to
provide
low
prices.
Fairness,
fairness
for
the
people
trying
to
bid
and
fairness
for
the
the
agency
that
is
going
to
be
paying
for
the
public
work.
G
So
when
we
look
at
the
goals
of
supporting
apprenticeship
from
you
know,
what
I
see
is
we
are
wanting
to
make
sure
that
when
we
are
doing
projects
we
that
people
are
getting
trained
so
that
we
can
have
more
family
wage
jobs
one.
G
It
helps
make
sure
that
there's
an
adequate
supply
of
people
being
trained
in
the
construction
trades,
which
I
think
is
really
important,
but
it
also
helps
create
a
way
for
people
to
better
themselves
to
make
that
American
Dream
work,
the
the
two,
the
two
apprenticeship
and
public
bidding
I
think
can
go
together
very
well
and
I.
Think
those
goals
can
be
very
complementary,
but
I
think
if
we
don't
recognize
that
adding
more
requirements
to
your
call
for
bids
and
what
contractors
have
to
comply
with
that
raises
prices.
G
So
how
do
we
balance
that
to
make
sure
that
we
still
get
good
value
in
our
projects
for
our
taxpayers?
The
way
we
do
that
is
we
create
predictability
and
consistency.
When
contractors
have
predictability
and
consistency,
they
know
what
is
expected
of
them.
They,
whether
it's
Bellevue
or
Redmond,
or
you
know,
Bonney,
Lake
or
Moses
Lake,
wherever,
if
there's
a
state
law,
they
know
what
they
have
to
comply
with.
If
all
the
different
agencies
do
different
things,
it's
hard
it's
hard
and
it
raises
prices.
G
G
G
Hopefully,
we
will
know
what
the
governor's
decision
is,
whether
to
veto
part
all
or
sign
the
bill
so
for
from
my
perspective,
I
think
that
we
should
definitely
not
have
staff
working
on
this
until
we
know
what
is
happening
with
House
Bill,
1050
and
I
also
think
that
when
we
finally
bring
the
legislation
forward
to
this
body,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
it
is
out
of
the
gate.
Consistent,
yes,
House,
Bill
1050,
if
it
passes
in
is
signed,
will
not
take
effect
until
July
1st
2024.
G
But
if
our
proposal
is
like
the
pilot
I
think
we
want
to
begin
as
I
always
say
this
begin.
As
you
want
to
go
on
right,
we
should
not
be
training
our
contractors
and
our
staff
on
a
program.
That's
going
to
change
in
a
year.
I
mean
that
is,
it
would
lead
to
more
confusion,
less
predictability,
less
consistency,
so
I
think
that,
and
it
would
also
make
our
staff
and
our
contractors
have
to
unlearn
what
you
know
they.
Z
G
They
just
get
get
learned
and
then
it
changes
so
I
would
really
like
to
avoid.
Rework
I
would
like
to
avoid
in
the
time
leading
up
to
July
1st
2024
if
it
passes
a
balkanization,
so
that
if
a
contractor
wants
to
bid
in
Redmond
or
they
want
to
build
bid
in
Bellevue,
it's
the
same
because
it's
what
the
state
law
is
going
to
be
I,
think
that
that
is
really
good.
G
Having
that
Clarity
in
the
call
for
bids
makes
it
so
that
people,
so
the
contractors
again
have
the
predictability
and
consistency,
we
will
get
better
prices,
we'll
get
better
compliance.
We
will
have
better
partnership.
G
That
said,
if
the
Senate
version
does
not
pass,
I
think
that
Bellevue
should
build
into
our
system
a
tracking
for
women
and
minority-owned
businesses
and
the
impacts
on
that
and
small
businesses
veterans
I.
Absolutely
support,
adding
veterans
to
that.
I
think
that
we
need
to
track
that
if
LMI
is
not
going
to,
because
we
need
to
know
what
is
happening.
We
want
this
to
help
lift
up
those
kind
of
businesses.
We
want
this
to
help
lift
up
workers.
G
So
that's
where
I
am
with
that.
If
the
state
law
doesn't
change,
then
I
would
say:
I
support,
tracking
I
support,
phasing
in
and
I
support
having
the
enforcement
match.
What
is
in
state
law
rather
than
the
department
I
think
Department's
simple,
but
for
all
the
reasons
that
council
members
on
stated
I
I
think
that
we
should
match
this
up
with
House
Bill
1050,
because
chances
are
if
that
bill
doesn't
pass
this
year
or
something
very
close
to
it
will
pass
next
year.
So,
let's
just
like
I
said
it
begins.
G
We
want
to
go
on.
Let's
do
it,
let's
do
it
like
the
state
is
planning
to
do
it
once
we
know
exactly
what
they're
planning
to
do
and
and
then
let
this
get
done
and
and
I
would
support
once
we
know
what
the
state's
doing
to
have
it
be
effective.
Certainly,
we
can
spend
the
first
year
making
sure
our
contractors,
our
employees,
know
how
to
implement
this,
so
that
when
state
law
passes,
we're
already
doing
that
and
it'll
be
easier
to
do.
Did
I
hit
on
everything.
A
Answer
well
I'm,
going
to
ask
staff
I'm
going
to
keep
you
on
here:
okay,
I'm,
going
to
ask
staff
to
give
us
the
pros
and
cons
of
moving
this
forward
tonight
versus
waiting.
AA
Sure
and
I
think
that
we've
we've
covered
a
fair
number
of
those
already
in
the
conversation
when
I
did
have
some
notes,
but
I,
of
course,
Drew
all
over
the
back
of
them.
So
I'll
start
with
the
cons
to
adopting
in
in
late
May.
So
we're
not
at
all
talking
about
adopting
something
prior
to
the
the
governor's
final
decision.
AA
Correct,
and
so,
while
those
those
are
out
there,
I
think
that
the
the
the
confusion
is
something
that
we
would
definitely
want
to
get
out
in
front
of.
If
we
were
to
pass
something
that
has
the
the
department
provision
in
it
and
ensure
that
we're
very
clear
in
our
Communications
to
our
contractor
community
and
then
in
terms
of
the
rework
there
would
be
some
elements
where
we
would
have
to
pull
together
the
language
and
the
what
would
take
place
in
the
event
of
Department.
AA
It
would
not
be
our
first
priority
for
what
we
would
be
working
on,
I
would
say
as
staff.
We
would
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
creating
something,
that's
consistent
with
our
with
our
ordinance
but
the
the
components.
From
my
perspective
that
are
likely
to
be
more
difficult
to
pull
together
and
put
into
our
administrative
policies,
practices
and
a
document
are
probably
more
around
the
good
faith
efforts
and
the
process
for
reviewing
and
determining
percentage
utilization
requirements
based
on
what's
what's
available
in
the
market,
as
well
as
some
of
the
other
documentation.
AA
All
the
things
that
we
would
need
to
implement,
along
with
the
state.
So
I
think
that
the
the
bulk
of
what
we
would
need
to
pull
together
is
identical,
except
for
this
enforcement
piece
and
then,
like
I,
mentioned
getting
out
in
front
of
the
the
communication
with
our
contractors
to
ensure
they're
aware
of
of
what's
going
on.
The
pros
of
adopting
now
are
really
the
the
time
to
prepare
and
learn.
AA
I,
don't
know
that
there's
there's
going
to
be
a
substitute
for
us
in
terms
of
actually
getting
our
our
hands
into
this
hands-on
experience
with
ourselves
and
our
contractors
of
going
through
the
actual
process
of
reviewing
the
the
scope
looking
at.
What's
what's
out
there,
putting
this
through
a
bid.
AA
Seeing
what
comes
through
what
our
contractors
have
to
say
about
that
over
the
course
of
the
actual
process
and
then
going
through
the
the
steps
of
monitoring
I,
see
a
whole
lot
of
upside
to
having
that
experience
prior
to
the
the
I
guess,
more
rigid
structure
that
would
be
coming
from
this
state,
where
we
wouldn't
have
an
opportunity.
If,
if
we
waited,
we
wouldn't
have
an
opportunity
to
get
that
practice
in
place
before
we
have
to
comply
with
all
the
elements
of
the
state
Bill,
including
the
compliance
we
would.
AA
The
the
other
thing
is
that
we
would
I
and
I
think
I
mentioned
this
before
we
would
have
to
sort
out
the
the
penalties
and
and
the
incentives
either
way
if
the
house
bill
passes
so
well.
That
is
a
potential
component
of
the
rework.
It
is
work
that
we
would
have
to
do
in
either
case
if
the
bill
passes.
A
Yes
and
here's,
here's
I
see
three
issues
that
we
need
to
kind
of
agree
on.
One
is
council
member
barksdale's
recommendation
of
waiting
for
the
Governor's
following
the
governor's
decision.
Number
two
is
whether
or
not
to
include
a
penalty
and
then
number
three
is
whether
to
wait
until
the
state
makes
its
decision
or
if
we
should
Implement
now,
is
somewhat
of
a
pilot
project.
So
what
I'm
going
to
do
is
I'm
going
to
let
councilmember
Robertson
finish
and
then
we'll
start
over
and
I.
A
G
Thank
you,
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
and
I
I
appreciate.
The
comments
of
I
was
not
suggesting
waiting
to
have
our
program
begin
in
2024.
What
I
was
suggesting
is
to
wait
to
see
what
passes
and
what
the
governor
will
sign
and
then
making
our
program
match
that
and
have
it
take
effect
this
year.
That
way,
we
have
the
year
of
learning,
but
it's
learning
the
program
that
we'll
be
doing
in
2024
I
was
thinking
it's
like.
AA
To
say
yeah
I
just
to
to
add
to
that
and
clarify
and
I
think
Kathy
may
have
mentioned
some
of
this.
So
correct
me.
If
I,
if
I
am
incorrect
in
this,
so
the
we,
the
the
plan
already,
would
be
that
between
the
state's
final
decision
and
bringing
back
our
ordinance,
we
would
match
up
as
many
of
the
elements
of
the
program
as
we
could
in
the
timeline
that
we
have
to
what
is
at
the
state
level.
AA
A
Okay,
so
to
clarify,
regardless
of
what
we
move
forward
tonight,
nothing
would
be
implemented
until
the
government
Governor
makes
a
decision.
At
that
point,
it
would
be
trued
up
to
that
decision
and
then
implement
it.
It's
not
like
we
would
Implement
our
own
independent
plan.
Governor
makes
a
decision,
that's
different
from
that
than
we
switch
gears
and
we
go
to
that
correct.
AC
Y
And
confusion,
the
1050
does
not
have
a
lot
of
specificity
about
what
good
faith
efforts
are
and,
and
so,
if
we
take
the
penalty,
an
enforcement
off
the
table,
when
we
Implement,
then
the
only
thing
we're
waiting
for
is
it.
Is
it
2
million
or
is
it
1
million?
There
is
the
all
of
the
other.
Y
Provisions
are
either
already
spelled
out
and
matches
aligns
with
what
we
were
already
looking
at
so
I
I
don't
see
the
rework,
only
the
changing
the
one
or
two
million,
depending
on
what
gets
passed
there,
the
other
so
I
I'm
very
glad
to
hear
it
sounds
like
we're,
hopefully
moving
forward
without
that
enforcement
piece.
So
we
can
learn
and
understand
what
the
rules
are.
The
other
one
I
was
going
to
say
on
the
tracking
is
I.
Y
Also,
don't
think
we
need
to
wait
on
that
as
well,
because
we
already
have
public
agencies
that
have
the
1050
Provisions
in
it.
So
we
should
be
able
to
get
from
l.
I
information
about
how
these
agencies
are
already
doing
and
whether
there's
impacts
to
the
women
minority
veteran-owned
firms,
as
well
as
what
they're
looking
at
what
they've?
Already
used
for
incentives
and
penalties,
so
I
would
recommend
that
it
isn't
so
much
waiting
for
the
Governor's
final
rule.
Y
It's
about
actually
doing
that
Outreach
and
and
getting
some
of
that
information
already
and-
and
lastly,
I
would
just
say
that
you
know
we
are
getting
ready,
I
believe
to
move
forward
with
accelerating
our
procurement
diversity,
inclusion
efforts.
Y
Y
E
Thank
you
mayor,
just
just
confirmed
the
three
things:
the
governor's
waiting
until
the
governor's
decision,
which
I've
raised
so
support
that
enforcement
moving
forward
without
enforcement
support
that
internet
a
little
earlier.
What
was
the
third
thing?
I'm
sorry.
L
A
G
A
E
A
E
Now
we're
down
to
two
awesome:
that's
it.
A
D
D
Okay,
I
have
my
different
opinions
on
that
I.
Don't
think
it
really
matters
that
much
I
I
number
one
I,
think
penalty.
Definitely
I
agree
with
councilman
Baza
yeah,
because
I
said
before,
regardless
what
the
state
legendary
says,
I
think
we
have
our
own
different
opinion
on
that,
so,
whether
we
Implement
our
our
resolution
now
or
not,
it
doesn't
really
matter
as
long
as
we
do
the
things
instead
of
waiting
around
I
think
we
can
proceed
with
our
own.
D
You
say
you
know
tracking
data
collection
trying
to
test
how
we're
doing
whether,
if
we
wait
for
the
legislation,
we're
not
going
to
get
any
more
information
than
we
start
doing
now,
a
few
months
will
make
a
difference.
We
may
not
get
anything
right,
I
mean
not
get
adequate
enough.
You
know
we
may
be
lucky.
We
get
lots
of
information,
but
I,
don't
I,
don't
want
to
bet
on
it.
Okay,
so
I
think
we
need
to
start.
D
We
need
to
start
working
to
get
information
like
councilmember
Robertson
mentioned
testing
it
and
whatever
we
do
and
that
to
me,
Pandit
is
out
so
I'm
gonna.
Stick
with
that.
Okay,
it
doesn't
matter
when
so
finally,
two
other
things
I
still
want
to
have
a
this
gives
me
I,
don't
know
about
the
rest
of
the
country,
members
the
opportunity
to
really
compare
with
what
AGC,
what
the
minority
building
Alliance,
what
AGC
has
to
discuss
with
you
and
they
have
different
opinion.
A
few
of
them
they
mentioned
today.
D
I
didn't
mention
that,
because
it's
going
to
be
part
of
what
I
would
be
hopefully
talking
to
you
is
they
talk
about
facing
in
pipeline?
That's
what
council
member
Robertson
mentioned
I
like
that
you
know
we
just
do
it
sooner
run
later,
we're
going
to
learn
more,
but
how
much
we
don't
know
and
then
also
they
give
example:
the
Washington
State,
Department
transportation.
Their
program
doesn't
have
penalty
period,
while
I
was
so
you
know,
so
if
they
can
do
it,
why?
Why
not
find
out
whether
that
works
or
not?
They
will
have
some
experience.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Councilmember
Lee
and
I'm
good
with
councilmember
barksdale's
revision
on
the
motion.
Following
the
governor's
decision
and
the
new
enforcement
makes
sense
we're
going
to
tune
it
up
with
the
state
regardless.
But
that
sounds
good
deputy
mayor.
Z
I'm
the
same
on
that
except
I
I,
don't
mean
to
get
into
this
penalty
as
a
a
barrier
to
anything.
I
just
think
it's
a
that
is
a
responsibility
and
something
that
actually
people
working
this
appreciate
because
we
too
many
times
we
read
stories
about
things
where
something
happened
and
the
government
gets
beat
up
because
they
didn't,
you
know,
watch
over
things
and
or
individuals
get
upset,
because
the
government
does
something
it's
just
a
human
responsibility.
It's
not
a
bad
thing.
Z
Z
But
the
reality
is
we
have
we
have
rules
and
penalties
here
about
certain
things
we
can
do
or
not
do
and
I
just
think
it's
it's
it's
not
the
big
issue
on
this
and
I
would
be
surprised
if
actually
people
wanting
to
get
involved
in
this
would
be
opposed
to
this,
because
I
think
everybody
knows
that
if
you
have
some
guidelines
that
are
understanding
that
you
get
better
work
done
and
not
get
bogged
down
in
in
mistakes
and
and
things
where
people
go
off
track,
but
I'm
fine,
with
going
for
this,
like
this,
we'll
we'll
address
those
issues
later
and
I.
Z
Think
overall,
it's
a
great
program
and
I
think
we
can
make
it
work
and
hopefully,
whether
we
go
with
the
state
or
not
so
I
think
we're
in
good
shape
so
I'm.
Fine.
Thank.
G
You
councilmember
Robertson
yeah
I'm
good
with
that
the
the
no
penalties
the
first
year
was
what
was
proposed
before
and
all
I'm
suggesting
is
that
we
don't
have
confusing
language
in
the
ordinance
if
the
state
law
passes,
I
do
support
having
penalties
and
incentives.
Eventually,
you
know
consistent
with
state
law,
but
I
just
didn't
want
to
adopt
something
that
said,
we're
going
to
do
debarment
when
we're
not
when
we
wouldn't
enforce
it
the
first
year
and
if
the
state
law
has
passed
by
the
time.
G
A
So
I'm
looking
for
a
motion
that
will
direct
the
staff
to
prepare
the
ordinance
without
penalty
in
the
first
year
and
that
will
take
final
action.
They'll
bring
it
back
for
final
action
following
the
governor's
decision.
E
G
Yes,
you
may
so
is
it
implied
in
the
motion
that
if
HB
1050
passes
that
the
ordinance
that
comes
back
will
be
consistent
there
with,
because
that
wasn't
stated
in
the
motion.
I
just
wanted
to
understand
with.
AB
It
understood
that
the
guidance
so
once
the
the
governor
either
vetoes
or
signs,
then
we'll
know
what
the
law
is
and
what
I
think
we
were
hearing
is
you'd
like
us
to
incorporate
into
what
comes
back
to
you,
the
end
of
May,
the
provisions
of
the
state
law,
but
no
enforcement
provision
either
department
or
penalty
this
there
just
won't
be
any
in
there
for
now
and
then,
of
course,
we'll
have
to
come
back
with
a
recommended
amend
Amendment
to
the
ordinance
later.

A
T
You,
council
members,
this
last
item
on
your
study
session
agenda
this
evening
is
for
Council
consideration
of
an
interim
official
control
which
is
intended
to
increase
the
production
of
both
residential
and
affordable
housing
units
in
the
downtown
area.
The
interim
official
control
proposes
temporary
regulations
in
the
downtown
to
encourage
residential
development
by
increasing
the
residential
floor
area
ratio
and
providing
development
flexibility
in
exchange
for
affordable
housing.
T
We
have
staff
here
this
evening
to
go
through
this
interofficial
control
and
answer
questions
on
the
part
of
council.
We
have
joining
us
tonight,
Liz
stead
our
co-interim
director,
as
well
as
for
her
right,
Nick,
Whipple
code
policy
planning
manager
and
to
his
right
Matthew,
Menard
code
and
policy
senior
planner
they're,
all
from
the
development
services
department,
I'm
going
to
hand
this
over
to
you
Liz
to
kick
off
the
presentation.
AD
Thank
you,
city
manager,
good
evening,
mayor,
Robinson,
Deputy,
Mayor
new
in
house.
We're
excited
to
be
here
again
for
another
installment
in
next
right
work.
So
thank
you
for
having
us
tonight.
We
are
going
to
be
talking
a
little
bit
as
city
manager
mentioned
about
a
potential.
Far
increase
for
residential
in
the
downtown
I
do
want
to
go
to
the
next
slide,
which
is
our
direction
for
Council
consideration
and
just
let
you
know
that
we
did
have
a
little
bit
of
a
change
from
what
was
in
your
packet.
AD
We
had
originally
thought
that
we
would
go
ahead
and
ask
you
for
direction
and
to
pass
an
ordinance
prior
to
actually
having
the
public
hearing,
but
we
did
some
looking
into
it
and
found
that
we
could
have
a
public
hearing
prior
to
the
ordinance,
and
we
hoped
the
council
would
prefer
to
have
that
opportunity
to
hear
from
the
public.
So
we
did
go
ahead
and
make
that
change.
AD
AD
To
have
a
public
hearing
right,
ideally,
we
would
have
direction
to
schedule
the
public
hearing
and
take
final
action.
We
could
do
both
of
those
in
the
same
evening.
Okay,
if
Council
chose
okay,
the
agenda
this
evening,
we're
going
to
go
through
the
context
and
background
the
policy
objectives
and
approach.
We
will
also
talk
about
what
are
those
components
of
this
phase,
one
ioc
and
then
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
staff
recommendations
and
input
and
timeline.
We'll
also
be
spending
some
time
throughout.
AD
All
of
this
talking
about
what
some
of
our
stakeholders
have
talked
to
us
about
in
the
just
countless
hours
of
Outreach
that
both
Nick
and
Matthew
have
taken
on
and
have
been
done
very
successfully,
as
you
can
tell,
we've
heard
a
lot
from
different
stakeholders.
So
that's
been
great
to
inform
this
I'll
go
ahead
and
pass
this
over
to
Nick
right
now
to
continue
the
presentation.
AE
Great
thank
you
Liz
and
good
evening,
mayor
Robinson
Deputy
Mayor
noon
house,
a
member
of
the
members
of
the
council.
So
we
wanted
to
first
start
with
a
little
bit
of
context
around
some
of
the
current
housing
topics
that
are
being
discussed
through
the
various
planning
efforts
that
the
city
is
undertaking
through
the
comprehensive
plan
periodic
update.
There's
the
Wilburton
planning
area
effort,
the
Bell
red
look
forward,
the
implementation
of
the
affordable
housing
strategy.
All
these
planning
efforts
are
are
looking
at
addressing
various
aspects
on
the
housing
Spectrum.
AE
So
the
next
right
work
is
what
this
project
is
kind
of
nested
under
the
next
right.
Work
is
intended
to
supplement
the
affordable
housing
strategy
and
some
of
the
ongoing
housing
work
that
we
just
talked
about
back
in
July
of
2022.
AE
Then
in
January
you
also
selected
two
additional
actions
to
initiate
one
around
middle
housing
and
then
the
other
one
related
to
to
a
permit.
Streamlining
excuse
me.
AE
So
I
wanted
to
talk
about
the
policy
objectives
of
the
next
right:
work:
action
to
increase
residential
floor
area
ratio,
so
the
topic
for
tonight.
So
with
this
action,
we
are
hoping
to
encourage
residential
development
while
also
increasing,
affordable
housing
production
and
allow
for
some
application,
ready
residential
projects
downtown
to
move
forward
so
to
meet
those
policy
objectives.
We're
going
to
talk
about
three
different
tools
that
we're,
including
as
part
of
this
interim
official
control,
that
will
get
us
to
those
objectives.
So
with
the
the
tool.
AE
AE
So
this
is
a
really
a
good
chance
for
us
to
test
far
changes
in
the
downtown
and
the
incentive
for
affordable
housing
and
see
how
that
performs
again.
The
ioc
is
also
giving
us
that
opportunity
to
be
responsive
to
current
market
conditions
as
we're
seeing
some
office
projects
that
might
be
looking
to
switch
to
residential,
given
that
market
condition
change.
AE
It's
also
anticipated
that
the
interim
official
control
will
remain
effective
for
six
months
and
following
the
expiration
of
the
ioc,
any
affected
regulations
in
the
downtown
code
would
again
control.
So
we
would
revert
back
to
what
we
have
under
the
current
code
unless
Council
chooses
in
six
months
to
hold
a
public
hearing
and
extend
it
for
an
additional
six
months.
AE
The
ioc
is
not
intended
to
be
permanent
development
regulations
or
to
adversely
affect
the
city
council's
ability
to
adopt
something
different
as
part
of
phase
two
with
the
permanent
code.
So
then,
with
phase
two
that
will
really
focus
on
our
permanent
land
use
code
Amendment.
This
will
be
in
all
of
our
mixed
use.
AE
So
this
timeline
kind
of
pulls
the
two
phases
together
in
relation
to
the
comp
plan:
periodic
update
one
of
the
so
with
the
phase
one.
That's
one
of
our
quicker
items
that
we
can
move
forward.
Council
initiated
this
back
in
December,
we
have
been
working
with
our
stakeholders
having
various
stakeholder
meetings
in
January,
February
and
March,
to
bring
you
back
a
draft
interim
official
control.
That's
really
responsive
to
the
input
that
we
receive
through
our
Outreach
process.
AE
Since
you
set
us
in
motion
back
in
December
and
as
Liz
mentioned,
we'll
be
looking
for
some
input
on
this
interim
official
control
and
asking
that
you
direct
us
to
schedule
the
public
hearing,
at
which
point
you
may
take
final
action
and
with
phase
two
that
will
focus
on
that
broader
mixed-use
areas
throughout
the
city,
and
we
are
going
to
be
really
beginning
that
phase
in
Earnest
after
the
the
planned
final
Eis
is
released
for
the
periodic
update,
which
is
sometime
in
that
August
time
frame.
F
Nick
so,
as
Nick
mentioned,
I'll
jump
in
with
the
details
of
phase
one
and
we'll
also
talk
a
little
bit
about
our
current
programs,
downtown
relation
to
Far
So,
as
has
been
mentioned,
the
geographic
scope
of
phase
one
is
intern.
Official
control
is
just
downtown
and
it
does
not
extend
beyond
the
downtown
land
use
districts.
F
The
intent
of
this
is
to
quickly
respond
to
some
application,
ready
projects
trying
to
really
capitalize
on
some
of
the
changes
in
the
market
to
get
some
more
residential
product
downtown.
We're
also
going
to
use
this
ioc
to
test
far
our
far
increases
and
make
sure,
as
we
move
into
phase
two,
that
we
have
data
to
back
up
any
changes
we
are
making
with
phase
two
that
are
going
to
be
those
permanent
changes.
F
The
objectives
of
this
again
are
to
encourage
residential
development
downtown.
As
we
encourage
residential
development,
we
want
to
make
sure
we
are
getting
some
affordable
housing
production
out
of
that
increase
in
residential
development
and
allowing
those
projects
that
our
application
ready
to
move
forward.
F
All
Sites
will
have
a
base
far
that'll
be
dependent
on
what
land
use
District
they're
in,
but
they
will
be
able
to
use
that
base
far
by
right.
On
top
of
that,
there's
a
maximum
far
to
reach
your
maximum
far
you'll
have
to
participate
in
our
amenity
incentive
program
in
downtown.
That's
really
geared
towards
open
space
and
streetscape
amenities,
so
there's
no
affordable
housing
amenity
incentive
with
that.
What
we
will
be
focusing
on
with
this
ioc
is
the
affordable
housing
exemption.
F
One
again
is
allowing
that
higher
far,
we
are
proposing
upping
the
far
exemption
from
one
far
to
50
percent
of
the
base,
far
in
any
District
that
would
range
from
1.35
far
to
4.5,
far
in
our
highest,
far
District.
Crucially,
we
are
also
recommending
that
the
ratio
be
updated
to
for
every
one
square.
Foot
of
affordable
housing
you'd
be
allowed
four
square
feet
of
market
rate
housing.
You
have
heard
from
our
stakeholders
tonight
some
differences
on
that
request.
F
Basically,
the
higher
the
ratio,
the
greater
the
market
incentive,
is
going
to
be
to
build
residential
and
but
the
higher
the
ratio,
also
the
lower
amount
of
affordable
units
you'll
get
out
of
that
increase
in
residential.
So
what
we're
looking
to
do
here
is
find
that
balance
to
make
sure
that
we
are
both
incentivizing
residential,
as
our
current
program
has
not
been
utilized
significantly.
We've
heard,
through
our
input
process
that
it's
not
quite
lucrative
enough
for
developers
to
want
to
take
advantage
of
that.
F
F
With
that
we
are
proposing
a
25
foot,
hike
increase
in
the
perimeter,
a
15-foot
step,
back
reduction
and
continuing
our
existing
five
percent
lock
coverage.
We're
also
proposing
a
downtown
wide
requirement
that
you
are
no
longer
have
to
provide
parking
for
affordable
housing
units.
This
does
not
preclude
developers
from
from
providing
parking
for
those
units.
It
just
does
not
require
parking
for
those
units
and
the
final
tool
is
allowing
flexibility
in
the
perimeter
overlay
on
how
you
utilize
far
within
a
single
site.
F
We've
had
a
few
projects
which
cross
the
boundaries
between
perimeter,
overlay
and
outside
of
perimeter
overlay.
They
have
not
been
able
to
utilize
their
far
in
the
perimeter
overlay
because
of
our
form
restrictions
so
proposing
to
allow
them
to
move
that
unutilized
far
outside
of
the
perimeter.
Overlay.
I
will
note
that
this
does
not
allow
them
to
move
far
around
downtown.
This
is
not
an
far
transfer
program.
It
must
be
within
a
single
site.
F
We,
as
mentioned
we've,
done
significant
Outreach.
With
this.
Our
first
step
was
to
look
at
the
East
main
economic
analysis
as
a
baseline
for
proposing
ratios
and
the
far
exemption.
We
did
bring
that
to
our
internal
consultant
to
check
our
numbers.
With
that
analysis,
we
brought
it
to
our
affordable
housing
team.
Now
we
ran
the
flexibility
by
our
internal
Urban,
Design,
subject
matter
experts,
and
then
we
did
bring
the
final
recommendations
to
some
stakeholder
groups,
specifically
in
the
development
and
affordable
housing
field
and
some
of
our
downtown
stakeholder
groups.
F
So
we
had
several
briefings
with
Eastside,
affordable
housing,
Coalition
with
East
Side
housing
Roundtable
with
plush,
with
niop
and
with
the
Bellevue
Downtown
Association.
After
we
held
those
meetings
with
them,
we
did
solicit
direct
input
from
them
and
gave
them
the
details
of
our
recommendation
for
this
ioc
and
you've
heard
the
reaction
to
that
to
request
this
evening,
and
we've
also
summarized
for
you
here
in
this
table,
so
we
did
receive
two
sets
of
inputs
specific
to
the
ratio.
F
The
Eastside,
affordable
housing
Coalition
as
you've
heard,
has
requested
a
ratio
of
three
to
one
plus
requested
five
to
one
or
six
to
one
and
again,
staff
is
recommending
four
to
one
so
at
that
three
to
one
ratio
that
would
be
25
percent
of
that
exempt
floor
area
would
be
required
to
be
affordable
housing
at
the
six
to
one
ratio.
14
percent
of
that
exempt
area
would
be
required
to
be
affordable,
housing
and
staff
is
proposing
that
twenty
percent
of
that
affordable
housing
be
or
that
exempt
area
of
the
affordable
housing.
F
Within
this
table
we
provided
an
example
site
for
downtown
that
would
include
527
units,
and
it
shows
you
the
differences
between
how
many
units
would
be
provided
by
each
of
those
scenarios
that
have
been
recommended
again.
We
do
think
the
four
to
one
ratio
provides
enough
of
an
incentive
to
increase
uptake
of
this
program,
while
also
providing
a
4
housing.
A
And
then
go
down
this
way,
I
want
to
thank
you
for
all
the
public
Outreach
that
you
did
really
appreciate
that
that
helps
us
with
all
the
feedback
that
we
get
and
I
do
think
that
our
best
affordable
housing
work
that
we've
done
has
been
a
compromise
with
the
developers
and
the
affordable
housing
experts.
So
I
appreciate
your
recommendation.
It
seems
like
a
good
compromise.
I
have
some
questions
and
then
I
have
a
request.
A
So
you
know
I
I
met
with
you
multiple
times,
I
read
this
multiple
times
and
then
all
of
a
sudden
I
had
a
question
as
to
which
perimeter
overlay
this
would
affect.
Is
it
all
the
perimeter
overlays.
A
So
the
old
Bellevue
would
be
all
the
perimeter
overlays.
Okay,
all
right,
so
my
request
might
be
a
little
different.
So
my
questions
are
I'd
like
to
know
how
this
far
with
the
affordable
housing
is
going
to
layer
with
an
mft
I'd,
also
like
to
understand.
If
we
can
do
parking
requirements
similar
to
the
mfte,
where
we
create
parking,
but
we
allow
the
tenant
to
if
they're
in
an
affordable
unit
and
they
want
to
have
parking,
they
can
purchase
it
at
a
reduced
price
like
we
do
with
the
mft.
AE
So
we'll
start
with
the
first
question
about
how
the
this
incentive-
that's
provided
as
part
of
the
interim
official
control,
interacts
with
the
the
city's
mfte
program.
So
in
order
for
you
to
be
able
to
unlock
the
the
flexibility
that's
afforded
to
the
perimeter
overlay
and
to
unlock
the
the
parking,
no
parking
requirement
and
the
flexibility
on
how
you
move
far
around
the
site
or
actually
I'm,
sorry
we'll
put
two
tool
three
aside
for
now.
AE
So
with
tool
two,
and
with
the
ratio
and
the
far
increase,
you
must
provide
affordable
housing
that
is
permanently
affordable.
For
you
to
be
able
to
take
advantage
of
this
interim
official
control,
we
do
allow
for
the
mfte
program
to
be
layered
with
this
bonus
program
or
exempt
exemption
program.
But
the
expectation
is
that
those
units
are
then
set
at
a
deeper
affordability.
So
the
code
requires
those
to
be
set
at
65
Ami,
rather
than
the
80
Ami.
AE
That
would
be
expected
if
you
were
to
just
take
the
land
use
code
incentive
and
then
with
the
question
regarding
the
parking
requirements
and
mft.
So
that
is
a
that
is
a
challenging
requirement
to
include
as
part
of
the
land
use
code
amendments
since
the
land
use
code.
Amendment
would
really
set
what
the
parking
requirements
are
for
a
building
and
how
the
parking
is
doled
out
amongst
the
units
and
how
it
is
operated
is
more
of
a
private
contract
where,
with
the
mfte
program,
we
have
some
control
with
that.
AE
When
you
are
just
having
a
project,
that's
taking
advantage
of
the
land
use
code,
Far
exemption.
We
have
fewer
tools
that
we
can
use
to
really
administer
such
a
requirement.
So
there
are,
there
are
challenges
if
we
were
to
head
down
that
path
and
I
think
it
would
actually
be
very,
very
difficult
from
a
staff
standpoint
to
be
able
to
implement
such
a
program
with
just
the
land
use
code
exemption.
AD
Neck
I
might
add
just
one
other
item
as
well,
because
this
ioc
only
applies
to
downtown.
We
are
thinking
about
a
section
of
the
city
that
really
is
essentially
one
big
Tod,
so
the
idea
of
decreasing
parking
has
been
something
that
has
been
supported
through
a
lot
of
the
other
efforts
that
we've
been
looking
at
for
those
areas
that
are
close
to
close
to
transport.
AD
Now,
when
we
get
to
phase
two,
we
will
be
looking
at
other
areas
that
are
still
close
to
Transit,
but
are
not
quite
as
Transit
rich
as
downtown,
and
there
could
be
something
there,
but
as
Nick
mentioned,
that
would
be
very
challenging
for
us
to
administer
and,
in
addition,
I
think
in
the
downtown
we
do
already
through
the
downtown
lovability.
There
were
policy
choices
made
to
require
zero
parking.
You
know
in
our
most
dense
areas,
I
think
that's
the
direction
we've
built
that
Council
has
been
heading
in
in
many
circumstances,
and.
A
This
is
all
the
light
rail
walk
shed.
It
is
all
these
perimeters,
okay,
so
I
I
think
about
all
the
thought
that
we
put
into
the
step
backs,
and
we
were
very
concerned
about
section
A1,
the
perimeter
overlay
A1,
because
it's
directly
across
the
street
from
a
single-family
neighborhood
and
there
really
isn't
a
buffer
between
the
the
homes
and
across
the
street.
A
There's
no
Park
between
them
and
I
would
like
to
consider
omitting
A1
from
the
step
back
and
also
B1,
not
no
just
old,
old
Bellevue
B1,
because
to
me
it's
about
The
Pedestrian
experience
down
there.
That
is
such
a
pedestrian
heavy
area
and
I.
I
would
just
like
to
consider
that
maybe
ask
the
community
to
weigh
in
on
that
in
the
old
Bellevue
District
along
Main
Street.
C
Thank
you
mayor,
so,
first
of
all,
great
presentation
and
I
also
appreciate
all
the
Outreach
you've
done
prior
to
coming
before
us
this
evening
and
I've
heard
from
many
in
the
development
Community
about
how
they've
been
working
closely
with
staff
on
the
proposal,
and
they
can
promote
that.
You
know
both
market
rate
and
affordable
housing
units
in
downtown
Bellevue
and
really
appreciate
the
the
phased
approach.
I
think
that
makes
a
lot
of
sense.
C
So
I
appreciate
that
as
well
and
also
just
given
where
we
are
as
a
city
and
as
an
economy
right
now,
given
the
current
state
of
the
market,
it's
particularly
a
critical
time
to
offer
incentives
like
this
I
believe
as
developers
are
making
critical
decisions
about
their
project.
Is
it
viable?
C
Can
they
make
it
happen,
and
we
certainly
want
them
to
make
it
happen
in
the
city,
Bellevue,
so
I
think
the
opportunity
to
include
additional
housing
and
residential
projects
will
make
those
projects
I,
think
more
clear,
I
think
they'll
make
them
more
viable
and
if
they're
currently
planned
office
projects
and
they're
looking
for
alternative
paths,
this
plan
may
allow
them
to
Pivot
to
to
a
residential
development.
At
least
that
would
be
our
our
hope
that
they
could
so
I'm
all
for
moving
this
forward.
C
I
don't
want
to
see
any
delays
to
this.
However,
I
do
have
some
some
questions
that
especially
would
like
to
see
address,
as
this
comes
back.
I
believe
you'll
probably
hear
some
of
this
during
the
the
public
hearing
as
well,
but
my
oh
I
really
do
like
the
mayor's
suggestion.
I
I
know
it's
complicated,
but
I
do
like
that
parking
mfte
for
phase
two
or
outside
of
downtown
Bellevue
I
think
there's
some
some
Merit
to
that.
So
I
would
like
to
get
some
more
information
on
that.
C
But
my
biggest
question
is
just
how
and
I
know
you're
going
to
do
an
economic
development
or
economic
analysis.
Us
after
the
six-month
period,
but
how
are
what
are
the
success
metrics
that
were
that
we're
going
to
look
at
here
with
this
project,
because
it's
not
quite
clear
to
me
what
that
will
be
I
mean
certainly
you've
laid
out
the
objectives
which
which
which
are
good
in
terms
of
encouraging
the
residential
development
and
increasing,
affordable
housing
production.
C
But
I'd
really
like
to
see
some
numbers
associated
with
that
I
mean
if
we
just
get.
You
know
one
residential
development.
Is
that
considered
a
success
then
and
and
the
four
to
one
ratio
make
makes
sense,
I
I,
don't
know,
and
and
also
on
the
on
the
application
ready
projects
to
move
forward.
Each
of
these
objectives.
I
just
love
to
see
some
some
numbers
around
them
a
little,
and
you
might
provide
that
as
when
you,
when
you
come
back
to
us
and
I
hope,
you
hope
you
will.
C
But
I
would
just
like
to
just
look
a
little
bit
more
insight,
and
maybe
you
can
provide
that
now.
Just
in
terms
of
what
you
will
consider
a
success
here
and
then
I
would
also
dislike
a
little
bit
more
insight
on
how
you
landed.
C
Obviously,
threading
the
need
a
little
bit
here
in
terms
of
what
the
chamber
and
what
the
Eastside,
affordable
housing,
Consortium
they're
they're
their
input
and
others.
Of
course,
I
totally
understand
that,
but
we'd
love
to
know
why
you
think
that
four
to
one
is
is
is
is,
is,
is
the
right?
Is
the
Right
Mix
and
again
how
we're
going
to
track
those
those
metrics
to
to
ensure
that
it
is
the
the
right
mixes?
I
would
hate
for
us,
and
you
probably
know
where
I'm
going
with
this.
K
C
We
did
eventually,
but
not
so
I,
think
the
closer
we
can
get
to
that
and
I
think
that's
part
of
why
we're
doing
this
test.
Obviously
the
the
the
better
off
we
are,
but
again
I'm
happy
to
move
this
forward
tonight.
We'll
really
look
forward
to
getting
the
results
just
like
to
learn
a
little
bit
more
about
how
you're
going
to
measure
the
the
the
results,
as
well
as
again,
a
little
more
insight
into
the
proposed
ioc.
Thank
you.
AD
AD
They
say
you
know
what
we're
going
to
add
this
extra
1.0,
far
on
and
or
whatever
they
choose,
and
we're
going
to
have
this
affordable
housing.
We'll
know
we
hit
them.
But
having
said
that,
it
is
a
test
case,
you
know
it's
the
trial
balloon
we're
we're
sending
out
to
see
how
this
goes.
We
did
spend
some
time
getting
to
the
number
one
to
four,
though
it
was
not
just
a
number
that
we
picked
out
of
the
air
and
it
was
not.
AD
It
was
actually
our
proposal
prior
to
hearing
from
the
housing
Consortium
or
the
plush,
so
we
had
already
landed
on
the
one
to
four
and
we
had
landed
on
that
really
deliberately
based
on
the
East
main
economic
analysis,
which
was
our
most
recent
analysis,
economic
analysis
in
the
downtown
area
and
in
addition,
we
had
also
worked
with
our
internal
stakeholders,
some
of
our
affordable
housing
people
here
who
do
a
lot
of
work
with
the
development
community,
and
we
also
worked
with
skipstone
Consulting,
who
had
helped
us
out
on
some
of
the
other.
AD
Next
right,
work
and
kind
of
did
a
truth
check
there
and
AP
heard
from
skipstone
is
also
very
involved
in
development,
community
and
so
over.
You
know,
as
we
kind
of
massage,
that
we
got
to
about
4.1
421,
and
then
we
ended
up.
You
know
kind
of
somewhat
miraculously
just
being
right
in
the
middle
of
where
the
other
two
sides
came
to,
but
Matthew
do
you
have
any
or
Nick
do
you
have
any
adds
to
that.
F
I,
don't
think
I
have
any
particular
ads.
I
think
that's
an
accurate
description.
I
don't
want
to
make
it
sound.
Like
you
know,
before
to
one
was
a
foregone
conclusion.
You
know
we
brought
that
to
these
groups
so
that
you
set
a
housing.
Roundtable
the
affordable
housing,
Coalition,
flush,
further
input
and,
as
Liz
mentioned,
they
sort
of
fell
on
both
sides.
So
we
do
think
that
we've
we've
shot
the
middle
and
and
found
that
right
balance
between
affordable
housing
and
encouraging
residential
development.
AD
And
we'll
be
happy
to
continue
to
think
about
how
we
can
measure
the
effectiven
of
the
effectiveness
of
this
because
I
agree,
I,
think
that's
extremely
important
to
kind
of
know
did
we
did
we
get
there,
and
part
of
that
will
be
some
of
the
truth
telling
through
the
future
financial
analysis.
That
will
be
economic
analysis
that
we'll
be
doing
as
well.
Z
Yeah
I
think
this
is
a
very
exciting
approach
on
this
I'm
glad
to
see
us
be
more
flexible
and
hopefully
not
taking
decades.
You
know
work
through
this.
We
had
a
good
conversation
and
really
appreciated
the
talking
about
this.
Z
You
know
last
week
and
we've
all
had
a
chance
to
go
back
and
forth
with
it,
which
really
helps
when
we
get
to
these
meetings
to
have
some
of
the
background,
like
I
agree
with
the
comments
have
been
made
on
this
so
far,
I
I'm,
looking
at
how
much
flexibility
and
how
much
forward
thinking
we're
doing
in
a
sense
on
this,
and
and
as
the
mayor
mentioned,
you
know,
there's
some
pieces
in
there
that
don't
necessarily
just
fit
on
the
map
here
in
terms
of
flexibility
and
one
of
the
things
I'm
interested
in
is
how
East,
Maine
and
and
the
Main
Street
and
going
into
Bellevue
and
then
some
of
the
areas
around
there
how
how
flexible
we
are
going
to
be
on
that,
and
even
the
changes
going
into
back
from
an
old
Bellevue
area
by
maidenbar.
Z
So
there's
just
a
lot
of
changes
already
going
on
in
that
whole
area,
and
it's
not
anything,
we've
driven,
necessarily
and
I
think
we
have
a
a
lot
of
seems
to
be
a
lot
of
incentive
by
people
to
move
in
that
area
and
that
whole
downtown
area,
which
is
part
of
that.
So
we're
we're
doing
something
different.
Z
We
haven't
faced
before
in
a
sense
from
particularly
from
this
area,
so
I
think
when
you
and
the
the
step
backs
that
you
put
on
here
things
to
look
at
the
you
know
taking
this
flexibility
approach
have
a
better
far
and
flexibility
on
that.
All
of
these
things
are
going
to
I.
Think
result
in
us
moving
on
this
much
more
quicker
than
we
normally
do
and
also
I
should
be
something
that
gains
us
a
lot
more
livability
in
that
area,
and
you
know
frankly,
when
you
go
down
there.
Z
If
you
were
here
five
years
ago,
you'd
go
down
there,
it's
a
totally
different
place
from
now.
So
it's
already
it's
an
area.
That's
by
itself
is
really
developing
in
a
very,
very
strong
way.
So
again,
I
think
that's
one
of
the
things
we're
looking
at,
and
my
sense
is
that
you're
taking
that
into
account
on
how
to
increase
that
in
these
whole
areas
along
there-
and
you
know
they're
things
like
you
know
what
to
do
with
Main
Street
and
how
do
you
so
it's
it's
exciting
to
see
we're
actually
tackling
that
area.
Z
That
is
growing
very
fast
and,
of
course,
when
light
rail
finally
gets
here,
that's
going
to
have
a
big
impact
on
it
as
well.
I
mean
it
is.
It
is
a
more
vibrant
area
than
it's
ever
been
and
I
think
this
is
It's,
really
smart
of
us
to
get
on
that
and
not
just
let
it
go
and
work
in
this.
Z
So
I'm
very
pleased
with
where
it's
going,
I
think
there's
things
to
look
at
we're
not
sure
we're
taking
a
gamble
of
certain
extent
on
things
and
who
would
have
known
what
you
know
what
was
going
to
change
things
four
years
ago,
but
I
do
like
the
fact
that
you're
looking
at
this
in
a
with
an
increased
pace
and
really
looking
to
flexibility
and
how
we
can
get
going
on
it
and
the
conversation
I
think
is,
has
been
very
positive.
Z
So
I'm
I'm,
very
you,
know,
bullish
on
this
and
I
think
having
the
clocking.
The
public
is
going
to
be
very
helpful
and
then
we'll
have
time
to
really
go
over
these
things.
But
when
it
comes
down
to
it,
we
need
to
work
in
a
program
and
put
it
in
place
and
I
think
we're
again
developing
ways
to
move
things
quicker
than
we
used
to.
And
it's
going
to
take
all
of
us.
G
First
I
want
to
say
I
support.
The
ioc
I
had
a
question
about
timing,
because
originally-
and
typically
when
we
do
interim
official
controls,
we
pass
it.
Then
we
hold
the
public
hearing
after
and
I
know
that
the
especially
folks
who
are
ready
to
pull
permits
are
very
eager
to
get
going
and
we
have
the
June
30th
deadline
and
we
adopted
that
changing
code
to
allow
people
to
invest
by
June,
30th
and
I'm
a
little
bit
worried
that
the
timing
on
that
and
the
timing
on
this.
G
If
we
delay
delay,
delay
it'll
close
that
window.
So
it
would
be
nice
if
we
allowed
did
this
in
time
to
allow
people
to
vest
by
June
30th
or
if
we
don't,
whether
we
would
allow
people
to
amend
their
applications
to
take
advantage
of
this
if
they
are
trying
to
invest
by
June
30th.
So
that's
saying
you
kind
of
have
a
vague
date
in
here
on
when
the
public
hearing
is
going
to
be
it's
just.
It
looks
like
it
might
not
be
until
mid
to
late
May.
What
is
the
actual
date?
AE
G
AE
We
could
we
could
look
at
how
we
might
be
able
to
work
with
Charmaine,
maybe
and
see
how
we
might
be
able
to
move
this.
AE
Do
have
Provisions,
where
a
lot
of
the
applications
that
want
to
take
advantage
are
really
interested
in
submitting
their
adrs,
and
that
would
vest
them
and
I
think
some
of
these
projects
are
even
giving
up
on
the
chance
of
investing
to
the
building
code,
at
least
some
of
the
ones
that
we've
been
talking
to,
but
some
of
those
that
are
even
closer
along
this
would
probably
help
them
to
get
this
enacted
even
sooner.
G
Because
we
could
pass
it,
I
mean
the
ordinance
is
in
the
packet.
We
could
pass
it
tonight
and
hold
the
hearing
it
yeah
but
anyway.
So
let
me
just
say:
I'd
like
us
to
move
with
all
due
haste
on
getting
this
in
front
of
council
for
passage,
assuming
that
my
colleagues
agree
that
the
ioc
is
good
enough
as
it
is
now
currently
drafted,
and
then
we
hold
the
public
hearing
or
we
hold
the
public
hearing
sooner
and
take
action.
Okay,
that's
the
comment
on
the
timing.
G
Secondly,
on
the
substance
of
of
it
on
the
401,
it's
interesting
I
I'm
I'm,
absolutely
willing
to
move
it
forward
with
that.
I
think
it's
interesting
that
some
of
the
what
I
think
it
was
HTC
wanted
one
to
three
one
to
two
point:
five
is
what
we
currently
have
and
no
one's
using
it.
G
So
one
two
one
to
three
ratios
seems
like
it's
not
enough
of
a
lift
to
incentivize,
because
the
higher
the
ratio
is
four
to
one
five
and
one
six
to
one
the
higher
the
utilization
will
be
and
the
more
we
need
housing
units
and
we
need
affordable
housing
units.
Both
are
true,
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
do
get
more
housing
units
and
more
affordable
housing
units,
because
100
percent
of
zero
is
still
zero.
G
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
get
the
units
we
get
the
affordable
housing
units,
even
if
it's
less
than
we
might
get
at
a
lower
ratio
and
as
I,
think
how
pharah
said
he
talked
about
how
a
lot
of
development
while
office
has
got
some
serious
headwinds
in
new
production.
G
Housing
still
has
headwinds,
with
the
increased
interest
rates
and
higher
carrying
costs
with
the
increased
costs
of
development
and
when
the
new
building
code
takes
effect
that
will
drive
up
development
costs
even
more
incentivizing
to
get
what
we
want
is
really
important,
so
I
I
definitely
would
like
us,
assuming
the
council
passes
this
to
track
the
impacts
to
make
sure
that
when
we
move
towards
permanent
regulations
that
the
ratio
is
correct,
I'm
really
pleased
that
the
economic
analysis
will
be
scoped
to
not
only
look
at
phase
two,
but
we'll
also
be
looking
at
how
this
actually
worked
and
whether
it's
effective,
a
footnote,
I
guess
next
Point,
which
I
am
only
making
because
of
the
comments
the
mayor
was
making
about
parking.
G
I
pulled
up
the
mfte
code,
wcd
code
452097
on
parking,
because
mfte
could
be
layered
with
the
incentive
system.
Here,
the
to
the
extent
it
is
layered.
The
parking
requirements
that
are
within
the
mfte
code
would
apply
correct,
correct,
okay,
I
think
that
was
the
question
you
were
asking
you
didn't
get
the
answer.
You
didn't
get
that
exact
answer.
So
I
looked
it
up
for
you,
so
that's
yeah!
G
I
think
that's
correct,
so,
even
if
there's
no
parking
required
if
they
are
using
mft,
the
parking
requirement
in
there
which
allows
a
lower
cost
to
purchase
parking
would
apply
now.
My
final
point
on
phase
two
I
definitely
would
like
to
look
up
the
floor
plate
issue.
I
would
like
to
look
at
the
ratios
to
make
sure
they
are
right
and
as
well
as
making
sure
that
we're
scoping
the
locations
correctly
I'm
a
little
nervous
about
the
Lakemont
Village
shopping
center
and
the
Newport
Hills
shopping
center
being
scoped
in
I.
G
Don't
know
that
those
really
are
those
aren't
the
places
where
we're
wanting
to
have
a
lot
of
density.
So
I
would
like
to
look
at
that.
I
also
would
like
to
make
sure
that
we
are
continuing
to
work
with
I
guess
BDA
is
putting
together
a
committee.
We
got
a
comment
on
email
about
that.
The
plush
committee
is
going
to
stay
very
involved
in
the
east
side.
G
Affordable
housing,
Consortium
is
going
to
stay
very
involved,
so
definitely
want
to
work
with
them
about
on
phase
two
to
make
sure
that
that
is
scoped
correctly
and
right-sized,
based
on
the
economic
analysis.
So
those
are
my
comments.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
council
members
on.
Y
Next
right,
work
and
I
agree
with
my
colleagues
that
we
want
to
move
with
urgency.
I
mean
if
there
was
a
way
to
even
get
something
moving
now
instead
of
waiting.
But
if
the
next
best
thing
is
to
schedule
the
public
Hearing
in
action
as
quickly
as
possible
in
early
May,
then
I'm
good
with
that.
You
know
to
me:
markets
do
have
cycles
and
right
now,
I
think
they're.
The
winds
are
such
that
we
can
create
the
right
incentive
so
that
the
residential
is
more
competitive
and
potentially
can
be
built.
Y
So
I
really
support
that
I
want
to
make
sure,
because
we
also
got
a
message
from
I
think
the
affordable
housing
Consortium
about
whether
phase
one
is
going
to
set
the
foundation
for
phase
two.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
clear
that,
in
this
is
an
interim
control,
because
we
see
downtown
as
an
opportunity
to
get
some
vesting
with
these
incentives
potentially
to
get
some.
AC
Y
Guess,
projects
that
are
our
application
ready
potentially
to
move
on
this,
but
it
is
not
setting
the
foundation
for
exactly
what
we're
going
to
do
in
phase
two.
It
is
one
of
the
areas
we're
going
to
do
some
testing
and
study,
but
is
not
necessarily
an
indication
of
what
phase
two
is
like,
because
we're
going
to
be
doing
the
economic
analysis
and
really
understanding
and-
and
we
also
have
a
much
broader
scope
with
other
parts
of
the
city
as
well
in
these
mixed-use
neighborhoods.
Y
So
I
see
you
nodding,
but
I
just
want
on
the
record
to
make
sure
we
really
lift
up
the
fact
that
that
is
indeed
what
we're
doing
and
and
then
on.
The
four
to
one
I
mean
I.
What
I
see
is
that
through
multiple
ways,
you're
you're
kind
of
honing
in
on
four
to
one
as
that
vetting
and
test
case,
so
I'm
good
with
that
it
seems
like
it
brackets,
maybe
some
of
the
different
perspectives
and
and
creates
a
compromise.
And
then
this
is
a
test
to
see
if
it
works.
Y
I'm
thankful
that
I'm
hearing
the
stacking
with
the
mfte
I
did
have
a
question
on
the
perimeter
overlay.
So
just
for
those
that
don't
you
know,
keep
all
this
stuff
in
our
heads
when
we
say
25
foot
additional
on
top
of
what
height.
So
what
what
height
are
we
talking
about
in
those
perimeter
overlay
areas.
F
Y
Y
Okay,
and
so
when
we
go
to
phase
two
and
we
are
in
those
mixed
use,
districts
be
really
important
to
have
that
community
outreach
and
really
understand.
You
know
what
what
are
the
interest
overall
and
what
we're
trying
to
do,
because
those
are
there's
a
lot
of
Orange
areas
within
that
map
for
phase
two,
so
I
guess
I
didn't
really
have
any
questions
so
much
as
the
to
the
degree
we
can
move
with
more
urgency.
I
think
that
this
is
an
opportunity
to
take
advantage
of
more
residential
and
also
affordable
housing.
So
thank
you.
AE
Council
member
is
on
too,
if,
if
I
may,
I
can
state
it
into
the
record
that
this
ioc
is
intended
to
be
temporary.
So
it
would
be
effective
for
six
months
at
which
point
Council
would
have
a
decision.
Whether
you
would
like
to
extend
the
ioc
after
holding
another
public
hearing,
and
this
is
in
no
way
intended
to
be
permanent
regulations
or
adversely
impacting
the
council's
decision
to
enact
different
regulations
as
part
of
phase
two.
Okay.
Y
AE
The
second,
so
we
would
be
beginning
phase
two
really
in
Earnest
after
the
final
Eis
is
released,
and
if
the
timing
for
this,
if
Council
would
like
to
take
this
up
as
a
renewal
of
the
ioc,
while
we're
continuing
work
on
phase
two,
that's
an
option
that
would
be
available
as
well.
Okay,.
Y
Well,
it
seems
like
if
we
have
that
option,
it
would
give
us
the
most
options
available
to
us,
because
we
we
don't
have
any
guarantees
about
how
quickly
development
may
be
willing
to
take
advantage
of
these
incentives
that
are
in
front
of
us
right.
We
do
have
higher
interest
rates
and
lots
of
things
going
on
in
our
uncertain
Marketplace.
So,
okay,
thank.
A
You,
council,
member
brecksdale,.
E
All
right,
thank
you.
Mayor
first
I
also
just
want
to
build
on
to
the
I,
really
like
this
ISE
approach
as
an
agile
way
to
get
things
moving
and
get
some
early
feedback,
and
it
sounds
like
there's
a
there's
already
going
to
be
additional
Outreach
going
into
phase
two
okay,
which
is
awesome
and
then,
when
the
changes
from
phase
two
take
effect,
are
those
essentially
changes
to
the
downtown
amenity
incentive
program.
So
this
would
all
integrate
into
the
the
amenities
incentive
program
and
then
on
the
success.
AE
Certainly,
we
can
look
at
that
and
just
to
clarify
too,
with
the
point
you
had
made
about
phase
two
potentially
looking
at
the
incentive
program
that
we
have
in
downtown
and
perhaps
including
affordable
housing
is
one
of
those
amenity
options.
That's
provided
for
downtown.
AE
We
will
be
looking
at,
of
course,
our
existing
programs
in
ways
that
we
get
affordable
housing
throughout
the
city,
but
we'll
also
also
be
looking
at
different
affordability
tools,
so
it
might
be
something
that's
slightly
different
in
the
downtown
and
in
Wilburton
Bel
Red,
all
those
other
areas,
so
we
wouldn't
be
limiting
ourselves
necessarily
to
the
structure
we
have
in
place
today.
A
D
I,
like
this
approach,
you
know
you
know
that
affordable
housing,
it's
a,
is
an
important
issue
for
the
city.
So
you
know
this
is
something
that
we
can
do
without
delay.
You
know
I
think
the
whole
are
full
of
housing
program
should
continue,
but
this
is
an
opportunity
that
we
need
to
get
that
signal
to
the
developers
in
an
area
where,
if
something
can
happen
now
you
mentioned
there's
a
reason
for
it.
D
You
know
there's
interest
people
waiting
looking
so
rather
than
waiting
for
the
whole,
you
know
again
affordable
housing
program
to
being
full
whatever
Bloom
and
as
we
know
also,
you
know,
progress
comes
incrementally,
and
so
so
I
I
like
this
approach.
So
quite
so,
what
she's
done
so
far,
you
know
have
touched
I.
Think
the
Outreach
you
have
done
touch
the
right
people.
You
talk
to
the
hospital
of
housing,
folks,
the
developers,
PDA
and
so
on,
but
you
are
still
looking
at
some
perimeter.
D
You
know
like
the
mayor
mentioned
and
how
it
made,
because
you're
going
to
increase
the
Heights
and
so
on
and
are
full
of
housing.
It's
another.
You
know
program,
that's
going
to
be
impacting
folks
and
so
I.
D
When
you
briefed
me
earlier,
I
mentioned
I
asked
you
know
whether
you
have
included
the
community
individual
residence
business,
small
businesses,
businesses
in
general
and
also
president
associations,
and
you
know
to
make
sure
that
they
they
know
what's
going
on,
make
sure
they
confirm
with
them,
with
the
city's
Vision,
with
our
vision
to
make
sure
that
the
impact
is
understood.
D
I
think
that's
important,
so
I
appreciate
this
you're
moving
forward,
not
stopping
anything
you're,
giving
a
signal
to
the
developers,
whoever
can
produce
additional
housing
stock,
but
at
the
same
time
I
believe
that
people
who
were
supported
either
now
in
the
future
throughout
the
city
need
especially
in
the
affected
area.
Right
now,
we're
gonna
we're
gonna
test
them.
D
D
So
I
like
to
put
you
support
it
and
it's
part
of
our
Swedish
goal,
and
but
I
just
want
to
be
sure
that
you
do
to
you
know
the
Outreach
without
being
surprised
when
you
go
to
phase
two.
Thank
you.
A
AE
So
mayor
Robinson,
so
if,
if
the
council
were
to
choose
to
exclude
A1
from
being
able
to
seek
a
step
back
reduction
through
this
ioc,
that
would
be
limited
to
that
kind
of
L-shaped
hatching
in
the
upper
left
corner
of
the
map.
So
that's
the
one
of
the
only
areas
in
downtown,
as
you
mentioned
mayor
that
doesn't
have
a
buffer
before
those
single-family
neighborhoods,
the
downtown
code
does
have.
Private
development
requires
is
required
to
put
in
a
20-foot
landscape
buffer
before
or
adjacent
to
the
street.
AE
AE
So
we
could
look
at
excluding
downtown
old
Bellevue
as
well.
I
do
want
to
also
mention
that
the
step
backs
that
are
required
in
Old,
Bellevue
and
that
are
required
anywhere
in
the
perimeter.
Overlays
can
already
be
reduced
and
there
are
certain
criteria
that
developers
have
to
meet
in
order
to
get
that
step
back
reduction
so
by
taking
an
action
to
exclude
those
properties
from
taking
advantage
of
this
exception,
that's
only
removing
one
kind
of
exception
from
their
list
of
options,
so
they
can
still
kind
of
seek
that
relief
through
other
avenues.
AE
It
would
just
you're
not
providing
an
option
when
they
provide
affordable
housing.
A
AE
AD
That
is,
that
is
true
across
the
city
mayor.
There's
the
ability
to
remove,
reduce
or
eliminate
the
step
backs
through
the
departure
process,
and
that
was
put
into
the
code
during
the
downtown
livability,
because.
AD
A
But
when
you
say
the
with
other
departures
like
give
me
example.
AD
So
the
departure
process
allows
the
director,
with
certain
information,
to
let
an
applicant
not
meet
the
code
as
it's
written
if
it's
still
creating
a
good
result.
Essentially,
so
one
of
the
things
that
you
can
look
at
is
do
the
buildings
next
to
you
have
a
step
back
and
if
they
have
a
reduced
step
back
or
no
step
back.
That
is
one
of
the
ways
that
you
could
prove
to
the
city
staff
that,
in
fact
you
your
building
should
not
be
required
to
provide
the
full
step
back.
AD
I
think
we
called
that
the
string
test
in
those
downtown
livability
conversations-
the
other
way
is,
if
you
can
note
that
you're
really
not
making
impact
any
of
the
adjacent
buildings
to
you
on
a
lot
of
the
streets
that
are
really
quite
wide.
It's
pretty
easy
to
provide
that
that
acknowledgment
that
you're
really
not
impacting
it
as
much
on
the
more
narrow
streets.
It's
harder
to
do
that,
yeah.
A
Well,
I
guess:
I'd,
like
more
information
on
the
impact
of
the
step,
back
reduction
on
the
old
Bellevue
in
the
old
Bellevue
neighborhood
I've
already
thought
about
it
across
the
street
from
viewcrest
and
I,
just
I'm
fine
with
it
everywhere
else.
It's
just
I
do
think
that's
going
to
have
a
it
could
be
a
negative
impact
for
The
Pedestrian
experience
and
for
the
single
family
home
owners
across
the
street
from
A1.
AD
A
Z
Know
yeah
I
I
agree
on
that.
I
think
that
I
would
like
to
not
make
a
decision
on
whether
we
use
the
step
backs
or
not
until
we
really
work
with
the
neighborhood
and
I
think
there
is
a
there's
a
lot
going
on
down
there
and
I
know
that
a
number
of
the
people
have
been
there.
A
long
time
are
really
looking
at
changes
and
how
they
can
and
that
whole
area
could
be
a
completely
different
area
than
it
is
right
now
in
a
sense,
in
a
better
way.
Z
So
I
agree
with
the
mayor
that
we
should
look
at
that
and
not
be
just
absolute
we're
going
to
take
away
these
things
but
and
I.
Don't
think
that's
what
you're
you're
saying
but
I
do
think.
That's
something
we
need
to
look
at
I'd
like
to
actually
I'm
glad
we're
going
to
engage
the
community
in
this
part
of
the
community
on
Old.
Z
Bellevue
is
ready
to
be
to
talk
about
how
this
can
be,
what
what's
old,
Bellevue
going
to
be
in
the
future
and
how's
it
going
to
be
a
better
old
Bellevue
in
a
sense,
and
so
we
have
a
lot
of
up.
This
is
getting
some
really
good
opportunities
on
that
I
appreciate
that
a
lot
and
I
mean
I
I
anyhow,
that's
all
I
want
to
just
make.
Z
Is
that
I
understand
looking
at
this,
and-
and
it
is
a
question
of
the
trade-offs
that
have
a
building
pushed
over
and
not
much
of
a
sidewalk
and
having
a
sidewalk,
particularly
in
that
area,
because
the
walkability
is
a
very
important
piece.
So
that's
that's
a
real
an
issue.
I
think
we
need
to
work
on
a
lot.
D
I
I
think
that,
should
we
look
at
all
all
not
just
the
old
main,
because
it
affect
other
people's
positive
readers
as
well.
The
main
thing
is
I
think
we
need
to
have
community
feedback.
You
know
we
need
to
talk
to
people
who
live
even
not
just
maybe
in
it,
but
you
know
just
outside
of
it
what
the
reaction,
what
the
response
may
be.
Maybe
they
were
supported.
That's
fine!
That
would
tell
us
what
area
it
should
be.
AD
Councilmember
Lee
and
others
will
certainly
try
to
reach
out
to
some
community
members,
but
I
do
also
hear
an
interest
in
moving
this
forward
as
quickly
as
possible.
So
I
I
do
want
to
temper
some
of
those
expectations
in
knowing
that
really
I.
Think
I
have
heard
that
desire
to
move
it
forward
quickly,
but
we
could
certainly
come
back.
You
know
within
as
soon
as
Charming
can
get
us
on
the
schedule,
but
we
could
come
back
with
some
alternatives
to
remove
the
district,
A1
and
also
Main
Street
from
the
step.
A
Back
I
think
that's
what
the
public
hearing
will
be
for
so
I
think
I'm
hearing
that
we're
all
eager
to
move
this
forward,
have
a
public
hearing,
get
some
input
and
then
it's
nice
to
have
that
option
to
opt
out
in
those
areas.
If
that's
what
we
decide
to
do
after
that,
so
let's
go
ahead
and
make
a
motion.
Oh
councilmember
Robertson
go
ahead.
G
So
yeah
I
think
that
I
think
we
can
balance
those
two
questions
of
haste
and
this
alternative
that
some
of
my
colleagues
are
interested
in
by
having
the
ioc
is
drafted,
be
the
public
hearing
drop,
but
maybe
staff
can
work
up
some
Amendment
language
to
modify
the
perimeter
district
and
have
that
for
the
council
at
the
night
of
the
public
hearing
I
personally
am
concerned
about
we're
doing
this,
ioc
to
hasten
and
incentivize
housing
production
and
I'm
a
little
bit
worried
about
clawing
some
of
the
incentives
out
without
a
lot
of
thought
and
Outreach.
G
So
it
would
be
great
if
we
have
time
for
for
staff
to
reach
out
to
the
people
who
own
property
and
or
let
the
people
who
live
adjacent
to
those
areas
that
are
being
discussed
for
exclusion
so
that
they
can
weigh
in
at
the
public
hearing.
I
think
that
would
be
very
helpful.
But
that
would
be
my
recommendation.
Thanks.
