A
B
Yes,
thank
you.
There
are
15
speaker
speakers
signed
up
this
evening
and
before
I
start
calling
names.
I
will
remind
folks
that
oral
Communications
pursuant
to
council
rules
is
for
a
period
not
to
exceed
30
minutes.
Each
speaker
will
be
allowed
three
minutes
and
only
three
speakers
will
be
allowed
to
speak
to
a
particular
topic
or
one
side
of
a
particular
topic.
Excuse
me
also,
in
addition,
in
compliance
with
Washington
state
public
disclosure
laws
regarding
the
use
of
public
facilities
during
elections,
no
election
related
topics
may
be
discussed
during
oral
Communications.
B
This
includes
discussion
of
ballot
measures,
endorsement
of
candidates
or
political
parties,
and
speaking
on
behalf
of
a
campaign,
including
your
own,
any
speaker
begins
discussing
topics
of
this
nature.
May
forfeit
their
time
during
oral
Communications
and
with
that
I'll
call
our
first
Speaker,
who
is
kosha
upadie
who's
joining
us
here
in
person.
A
G
I
have
loved
Math
and
Science
from
a
young
age,
but
whenever
I
went
to
stem
competitions,
I
rarely
saw
girls
when
I
asked
many
of
my
female
friends
whether
they
wanted
to
come
to
a
competition
with
me.
They
said
that
they
feared
getting
judged
or
valued
less.
Looking
back,
it's
so
disappointing
that
girls
as
young
as
eight
years
old
are
not
confident
in
their
academic
capabilities.
G
So
this
made
me
wonder
how
I
can
create
diversity
and
inclusion
in
stem
for
the
underrepresented
and
the
underserved
Buzz
bull
was
designed
after
extensive
research
on
the
best
learning
approaches.
Buzzbowl
is
a
game-based
learning
approach
like
Jeopardy.
It
is
a
buzzer-based
game,
but
rather
than
having
categories
like
history
or
Rick
and
Morty,
it
has
categories
like
math
physics,
biology,
chemistry
and
Earth
science.
G
G
We
give
level
appropriate
study
material
three
months
before
the
game,
to
ensure
that
they
have
plenty
of
time
to
prepare
and
test
their
knowledge.
We
also
give
several
Awards,
especially
to
beginners,
so
that
they're,
even
more
motivated
to
keep
self-studying
and
learning
possible,
also
produces
a
self-serving
stem
Enthusiast
and
builds
builds
a
diverse
and
stronger
stem
Community.
With
this
initiative,
I
have
been
able
to
raise
female
participants
from
15
to
35
percent.
G
Boswell
participation
has
also
growed
from
30
to
200.
Over
the
last
five
years,
we
have
initiated
over
1
800
middle
schoolers
from
60
schools
and
have
raised
for
eighteen
thousand
dollars
to
fund
the
needs
of
after-school
stem
clubs
and
activities
in
the
Bellevue
School
District
I'm,
very
thankful
to
Amir
Robinson
for
inviting
me
here
and
offering
kind
support
to
my
initiative
by
being
the
guest
honor
of
Buzz
bull.
This
past
month,
I
highly
recommend
promoting
a
game-based
learning
for
stem
through
all
schools,
as
it
can
have
a
major
positive
impact
on
all
our
students.
G
If
tests
in
the
classroom
become
buzzer-based,
I
bet,
everyone
will
be
able
to
fall
in
love
with
the
subject.
Without
the
pressure
to
succeed,
we
will
produce
so
many
talented
stem
graduates
and
create
a
diverse
and
inclusive
educational
system
through
the
help
of
America
that
will
maintain
its
role
in
the
world.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
time
and
allowing
me
to
speak
about
a
cause.
That's
close
to
my
heart.
B
H
Good
evening,
mayor
Robinson,
Deputy,
Mayor
new
in
house
and
council
members,
as
mentioned,
my
name
is
Jody
Alberts
and
I'm,
testifying
on
behalf
of
the
Bellevue
Chamber
and
the
diverse
membership
that
we
represent
this
evening.
I'm
delivering
comments
in
response
to
the
apprenticeship
utilization
proposal
included
in
today's
materials.
H
Apprenticeship
programs
can
be
incredibly
useful
tools
if
thoughtfully,
designed
and
implemented
by
increasing
the
number
of
trained
individuals
in
our
Workforce,
while
I'm
sure
staff
have
worked
tirelessly
in
composing
this
policy
and
certainly
have
the
best
intentions.
Such
programs
must
take
into
account
the
wide
range
of
individuals
that
this
could
ultimately
ultimately
affect
both
positively
and
negatively.
For
example,
The
Proposal
included
for
this
evening
does
not
appear
to
take
into
account
the
Rippling
effect
that
would
occur
if
this
were
rolled
out
without
the
gradual
phasing
end
of
such
a
program.
H
It
also
does
not
include
an
exemption
for
businesses
that
have
struggled
greatly
in
recent
years,
including
small
businesses
and
those
owned
by
minorities
and
women.
In
fact,
this
could
take
business
away
from
such
individuals
directing
business
toward
companies
that
are
immediately
equipped
to
meet
the
outline
requirements.
H
This
is
just
one
of
the
recommendations
that
highlight
the
importance
of
a
robust
stakeholder
process
us,
especially
within
government
policy
making
and
implementation
understanding
how
such
matters
will
affect
industries
as
a
whole
is
critical
to
elevate
good
policy
to
exceptional
policy,
improving,
not
one
group
of
people,
but
an
industry
at
large
I
urge
you
to
direct
staff
to
revisit
the
stakeholder
process
prior
to
any
affirmative
decisions
regarding
this
policy.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
time.
I
I
I
J
Good
evening
my
name
is
Craig
speasel
I'm
speaking
tonight
regarding
House
Bill
1110,
which
is
increase
in
middle
housing
in
areas
traditionally
dedicated
to
single-family
housing.
This
bill
has
evolved
significantly
over
the
past
week,
helping
our
state
address
middle
housing
needs
while
minimizing
the
impact
to
our
neighborhoods.
Some
of
these
changes
are
helping
to
address
concerns
that
have
impacted
the
environment,
parking
infrastructure
capacity
and
development
costs.
Yet
the
bill
is
still
problematic,
with
several
major
deficiencies.
J
I'm
here
tonight,
to
ask
Council
to
direct
staff
to
engage
our
state
legislature,
legislators
to
address
the
fall
number
one
provide
cities
one
year
to
develop
comp
plans.
The
bill,
as
stated
only
a
place,
applies
to
comp
plans
completed
as
of
January
1st
of
this
year.
It
does
not
appreciate
the
local
Planet
efforts
or
the
unique
needs
of
cities
and
the
ability
for
a
city
to
meet
and
exceed
the
goals
of
the
bill
at
possibly
a
lower
cost.
I.
J
Believe
cities
must
provide
one
year
complete
the
comp
plans,
which
are
substantially
similar
to
the
requirements
of
this
bill
number
two
to
achieve
the
goals.
I
believe
the
bill
must
override
pre-existing
declarations
and
Covenants.
This
is
really
important
for
the
social,
economic
and
economic
Justice
perspectives.
The
bill
must
underride
under
override
these
conditions,
provide
an
exception,
but
unfairly
shift
density
and
infrastructure
burden
to
a
adjacent,
neighborhoods
and
less
affluent
neighborhoods.
If
not
addressed.
J
The
bill
would
also
likely
spur
other
neighborhoods
to
draft
similar
ccrs
prior
to
the
effective
date
negating
the
Bill's
goals
and
increasing
the
impact
of
the
bill
on
less
prosperous
communities.
Neighborhoods
Community
Parks
number
three,
the
undefined
term,
was
introduced
in
the
subject
Bill
last
Thursday.
It
is
suggested
that
this
be
stricken
from
the
bill
in
in
its
entirety,
partially
because
it
varies.
The
definition
varies
from
City
to
city
across
the
state
and
it
may
have
an
adverse
impact
on
cities
who
want
to
create,
improve
or
expand
Parks.
J
Do
the
risk
of
triggering
the
conditions
of
this
bill?
Prevention
of
short-term
rentals
and
I've
discussed
this
issue
before
we
need
to
make
sure
that
these
unit
housing
stocks
are
not
converted
to
airbnbs
and
the
last
Point.
That's
very
important
is
to
address
the
foreign
investment
risk
of
unoccupied
housing.
We've
seen
the
risk
before
of
foreign
investors,
purchasing
housing,
driving
the
prices
up
and
leaving
them
unoccupied.
J
So,
in
summary,
I
would
like
to
thank
the
mayor,
Deputy
Mayor,
Genesee
Atkins,
as
well
as
our
state
representatives,
Wallen
and
Slater,
for
their
support
in
community
engagement,
I,
believe
working
together.
We
can
improve
this
bill
to
meet
the
goals
of
middle
and
affordable
housing
opportunities,
while
also
protecting
our
neighborhoods
and
environments
for
future
generations
and,
last
but
not
least,
I
want
to
encourage
residents
to
contact
their
state
reps
directly
to
reinforce
these
issues.
Thank
you
very
much.
K
A
D
A
D
D
A
D
A
K
Are
we
ready?
Yes,
thank
you.
Agc
of
Washington
represents
over
650
members,
half
of
which
are
headquartered
right
here
in
King
County.
Together
we
are
inclusive
of
the
state's
largest
Public
Works
contractors,
small
contractors
seeking
to
increase
their
capacity
and
to
date
we
have
one
of
the
largest
memberships
of
women
and
minority
owned
contractors
of
any
trade
Association
in
Washington
for
a
year
and
in
good
faith.
Agc
has
followed
the
development
of
apprenticeship
utilization
policy
in
the
city
of
Bellevue.
K
Workforce
Development
is
agc's
number
one
priority
and
without
a
doubt
we
are
the
constituency
with
the
most
to
gain
from
attracting
entertaining
more
people
to
work
in
construction.
Over
the
last
12
months,
we
have
asked
have
a
seat
at
the
table
to
collaboratively
develop
a
policy
that
is
effective
for
community
members.
It
is
being
established
to
help
a
policy,
that's
the
right
fit
for
Bellevue,
a
policy
that
does
not
discriminate
against
any
group
or
type
of
business
and,
lastly,
a
good
apprenticeship
policy
that
considers
the
current
state
of
our
Workforce.
K
So
Bellevue
does
not
experience
an
outsized
financial
burden
from
unknowingly,
creating
a
policy
that
is
unfair
to
employers
of
all
sizes,
after
12
months
of
appeals
to
be
involved
in
a
stakeholder
process.
Unfortunately,
we
are
still
no
closer
to
being
able
to
share
our
unique
Solutions
and
do
not
feel
like
true
Partners
in
the
effort.
The
Proposal
being
introduced
by
staff
tonight
shares
some
elements
with
an
apprenticeship
Bill
introduced
in
Olympia
this
year.
Similarly,
there
was
no
stakeholder
process
for
the
Olympia
bill.
K
It
ended
up
unable
to
move
forward
because
of
these
types
of
controversial
elements
and
is
considered
dead.
The
good
news
is
it's
not
too
late.
There
is
an
opportunity
to
begin
a
stakeholder
process
that
can
truly
truly
benefit
apprenticeship
policy
benefit
the
city
of
Bellevue
and
benefit
our
future
Workforce,
one
that
takes
all
interests
into
account
and
will
ensure
a
reasonable
and
responsible
outcome.
We
ask
Council
and
sure
tonight's
meeting
is
the
beginning
of
this
important
dialogue
with
the
entire
Community
AGC
of
Washington
is
very
much
looking
forward
to
participating
and
to
working
with
you.
B
L
But
agency
leaders
and
government
officials
are
reacting
to
a
less
than
ideal
situation
with
nimbleness
and
creativity
to
still
be
able
to
deliver
Light
Rail
services
to
our
Eastside
communities
as
soon
as
possible,
and
our
city
residents
definitely
are
absolutely
excited
for
flight
rails
arrival.
We've
been
conducting
Outreach
at
Bellevue,
Transit
Center
and
the
Overlake
neighborhood
with
move
Redmond,
and
the
opening
of
an
Eastside
starter
lab
would
absolutely
make
a
difference
in
the
lives
of
workers,
students
and
everyday
families
looking
to
get
around
our
region.
L
Family,
a
staff
have
alluded
to
in
tonight's
meeting
materials,
making
sure
that
members
of
our
community
have
easy
access
to
Transit
will
be
crucial
in
ensuring
the
Network's
overall
utility.
The
East
link
connections
project
represents
a
comprehensive
and
effective
restructuring
of
the
eastside's
bus
Network.
To
achieve
this
goal,
and
we
again
appreciate
mayor
Robinson's
and
the
city's
support
of
The
Proposal
Beyond,
this
work
undertaken
by
Regional
agencies,
there
is
additional
work
that
the
city
can
do
to
ensure
the
system
will
work
well
for
everyone.
L
Our
organization
encourages
the
city
to
continue
to
build
out
its
network
of
protected
bicycle
infrastructure
beyond
the
station's
immediate
walk
sheds,
as
these
Investments
could
provide
helpful
connections
into
parts
of
east
and
south
Bellevue.
That
are
currently
disconnected
from
Light
Rail
stations.
Additionally,
Transit
works
best
when
there's
plenty
of
people
around
to
use
it,
and
it's
well
known
that
Bellevue
currently
lacks
sufficient
housing
Supply
to
meet
demand.
L
We
applaud
the
work
the
city's
been
doing
around
increasing
housing
capacity
near
station
areas,
and
we
thank
council
members
for
saying
in
a
recent
housing
discussion
that
the
state
should
support
policies
that
greatly
improve
density
around
frequent
Transit
areas.
Our
organization
would
therefore
urge
the
city's
formal
support
of
Senate
Bill
5466,
which
will
provide
Bellevue
with
substantial
housing
capacity
in
the
areas
that
are
best
served
by
existing
and
soon-to-come
Mobility
resources.
L
This
will
help
ensure
that
as
many
people
as
possible
are
able
to
benefit
from
the
proactive
Transportation
decisions
that
this
body
and
others
around
our
region
have
made
again
just
closing
out
want
to
thank
council
members
for
their
time
and
again
give
the
hearty
welcome
to
director
Tim.
Thank
you
very
much.
M
Thank
you,
I'm
Betsy,
Hummer,
14541,
Southeast,
26th
Street,
it's
nice
to
be
here
and
I'm,
really
looking
forward
to
the
presentation
from
the
Chiefs
on
the
CCAP
program
and
the
fire
cares
program.
I
supported
the
police
budget
way
back
in
September
and
I
am
so
glad
to
see
that
it
passed
that
the
positions
are
being
filled
and
that
our
community
can
feel
safe.
M
A
couple
years
ago,
I
actually
witnessed
fire
cares
in
action
up
at
Fred
Meyer
prior
to
that
I
had
no
idea
that
they
existed
and
over
the
last
couple
years,
I've
witnessed
them
with
their
knowledge,
their
compassion,
their
professionalism,
their
assistance,
their
care
for
the
homeless,
Among
Us
and
over
the
last
couple
years
too,
at
various
Fire
Department
events,
I've
met
them
and
talked
with
them
and
understand
what
a
great
resource
we
have
I've
talked
extensively
with
the
program,
server
supervisor
and
staff
during
the
budget
deliberations.
M
M
It
is
Data
driven
with
continuous
feedback
loop
between
the
community
and
service
providers,
with
extensive
Community
engagement
and
Outreach
for
feedback
regarding
the
ccat
effectiveness
to
ensure
a
safe
and
Equitable
environment
for
all
community
members,
Just
Want
to
Thank
You
Council
for
supporting
the
police
budget
in
full
and
supporting
the
public
safety
of
the
people
of
Bellevue.
Thank
you.
N
Thank
you:
hey
I'm
grateful
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
this
evening
and
thanks
to
all
of
you
for
your
service
to
your
citizens,
my
name
is
Paul
winterstein
I'm
with
the
Issaquah
Alps
Trails
club
and
we're
the
community
organization.
That's
supporting
the
save
Coal
Creek
initiative,
there's
a
lot
about
the
parkpoint
Pud
that
we
believe
is
not
in
compliance
with
your
comprehensive
plan.
But
that's
not
what
I'm
here
to
talk
about
tonight.
The
hearing
examiner
we'll
hear
about
that
on
Thursday
I'm.
N
Also
a
former
council
member
in
Issaquah
I
serve
two
terms
and
back
in
2018
we
went
through
a
public
land
acquisition.
It
was
known
as
the
bergsma
property,
and
there
are
many
elements
of
that
situation
that
are
very
similar
to
the
Isola
property
in
the
parkpoint
Pud.
It
was
private
land
that
was
going
through
the
permitting
process.
N
It
was
also
adjacent
to
City
Parkland
and
to
County
Park
land
very
similar,
but
until
I
went
through
the
entire
kind
of
purchase
process,
I
really
didn't
know
what
to
expect
or
how
it
might
unfold
and
I
thought
my
story
might
be
enlightening
for,
for
all
of
you.
First
of
all,
the
community
was
speaking
looking
very
loud.
I
knew
that
there
was
something
that
they
wanted.
N
So
at
one
time
you
know
we
had
an
executive
session
and
at
that
time
the
council
then
directed
staff
to
to
actually
look
into
this,
and
at
that
time
we
made
no
commitments.
We
made
no
commitments
at
all
and
frankly,
I
felt
like
a
long
shot
to
me.
You
know:
I
respected
the
property
owners
rights
and
we
needed
the
housing
as
well.
Plus
it
was
really
expensive.
N
So,
looking
back
you
know,
the
right
thing
happened
at
that
moment.
The
mayor
we
have
a
strong
mayor.
There,
different
government
form
appointed
a
staff
person
to
look
into
this,
so
I
knew
that
we
had
a
point
person
that
was
going
to
be
looking
through
all
the
options
and
was
going
to
be
running
this
program.
That
was
very
important
to
me.
They
real
quickly
got
the
trust
for
public
land
TPL
involved
and
that
turned
out
to
be
very
key,
because
that's
an
organization
that
would
negotiate
with
a
potential
seller.
N
They
also
could
provide
a
bridge
loan.
So
if
we
put
some
money
up
front
and
where
it's
going
to
come,
some
more
come
later
that
they
could
that
loan
would
help
us
get
to
that
point
so
also,
at
the
same
time,
staff
was
investigating
many
other
potential
funding
sources,
both
from
the
state
and
the
county.
It
was
really
clear,
too.
If
those
sources
would
actually
come
in.
This
is
something
that
I
thought
you
know.
N
Maybe
it
actually
could
happen
now
at
crunch
time,
when
it
came
in
front
of
me,
the
ask
was
to
put
11
million
dollars
of
our
funds
into
a
purchase
of
some
property
and
through
staff.
We
knew
that
potentially
another
8
million
would
be
coming
back
to
us
from
State
and
County
and
other
sources
now.
I
had
really
good
reason
to
believe
that
we
could
get
that
additional
eight
million
dollars
and
in
the
end
we
did-
and
so
you
know
that
was
we
actually
a
little
bit
more
than
that.
N
So
the
key
in
helping
me
through
this
was
the
clear
and
plentiful
voices
of
our
citizens.
I
knew
they
had
our
back.
They
had
my
back
and
and
also
another
key
thing.
Is
we
had
a
staff
person
who
was
running
point
on
this?
So
now
we
have
a
beautiful
Park
and
I'm
really
proud
to
have
been
part
of
that
and
I
think.
Should
this
I
sold
a
property
ever
become
part
of
your
Park
system,
I
think
you'll
be
proud
of
that
accomplishment
as
well.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
O
Good
evening,
mayor
Robinson,
other
council
members,
Deputy
Mayor
new
in
house
and
city
manager,
Brad
good,
to
see
you
all
I'm
here
tonight,
just
to
deliver
a
positive
message
from
the
leadership
group
and
our
people
for
climate
action
Bellevue.
The
gene
today
February
27th,
is
a
milestone
date
for
Bellevue.
It
marks
the
closing
date
for
applications
for
five
new
sustainability
sustainability
staff
positions
in
the
city.
Once
these
positions
are
filled,
there
will
be
a
total
of
seven
City
staff.
O
Members
focused
on
sustainability
work,
which
includes
the
work
of
cutting
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
people
for
climate
action,
Bellevue
members
and
no
doubt
others-
are
excited
to
see
this
Staffing
increase,
we're
grateful
to
you,
the
council
and
city
manager
for
authorizing
the
budget
funds
that
made
this
possible.
Thank
you
very
much.
O
A
City
clerk
I
see
that
we
are
running
out
of
time
on
our
public
comment
and
I
know
that
we
have
some
people
who
have
showed
up
late.
So
I
wonder
if
we
can,
after
this
speaker,
ask
Council
to
suspend
the
rules
to
allow
two
more
people
to
speak
to
the
apprenticeship
program
and
the
maximum
of
three
of
just
the
agenda
items.
A
You
certainly
can
do
that.
Okay,
Can
there
I
have
a
motion.
L
P
Thank
you
so
mayor
Robinson,
Deputy
noon,
House
Council,
Members
staff.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
address
the
council
and
support
of
the
save
Coal
Creek
initiative
I'm
here,
because
I
believe
that
you
have
an
opportunity
to
make
a
real
difference
now
and
for
years
to
come.
But
that,
as
they
say,
time
is
of
the
essence.
P
I'm
a
34-year
resident
of
Bellevue
moving
here
with
a
young
family
and
drawn
in
part
by
the
ready
access
to
Natural
spaces.
So
the
city
in
a
park
concept
concrete
flows
through
our
Newport
Shores
neighborhood
and
in
the
past
we
saw
firsthand
the
negative
impacts
of
Upstream
development.
But
more
recently,
we've
actually
seen
the
benefit
of
investments
in
stream,
enhancement
projects,
the
I-405
access
and
sediment
Pond
replacement
of
bridges
over
the
Coal
Creek
in
our
neighborhood,
improving
flows
and
the
establishment
of
riparian
borders.
P
Acquisition
of
the
Zola
property
further
supports
significant
Investments,
already
made
to
improve
the
stream
I've
been
involved
with
numerous
salmon
recovery
activities
over
the
years
I'm.
Currently,
a
member
of
trout,
unlimited
trout
and
limit
is
the
largest
cold
water
conservation
group
in
the
country.
The
State
admission
is
to
protect,
reconnect,
restore
and
sustain
quality,
cold
water,
Fisheries
The
Three
Rivers
trout
in
limited
chapters,
headquartered
here
in
Bellevue
and
has
over
1500
members,
and
it
strongly
supports
the
acquisition
of
this
critical
piece
of
the
Coal
Creek
Watershed.
P
My
efforts
are
ongoing
between
State,
local
and
private
citizens,
in
collaboration
with
Issaquah
Hatchery
to
promote
salmon
recovery.
The
DFW
fish
and
red
counts
in
recent
years
identified.
Increased
number
of
salmon
in
the
streams
and
the
increased
number
of
River
Riders,
Eagles
and
Osprey
that
we
see
during
Salmon
Run
periods
is
not
a
coincidence.
P
Trot
unlimited
believes
a
complete
environmental
impact
statement
is
needed
and
the
the
Isola
permit
should
be
denied,
based
on
the
environmental
cause
that
it
would
harm
that
it
would
cause
increased
runoff
from
impermeable
surfaces,
siltation
of
the
creek
possibility
for
sewage
contamination
and,
basically
in
a
net
environmental
loss.
P
Contrary
to
legislation
promoting
really
looking
for
a
net
environmental
gain,
a
better
use
for
the
Isola
property
would
be
to
purchase
this
land
as
a
vital
Watershed
link
and
Wildlife
Corridor,
in
keeping
with
bellevue's
stated
Vision
in
the
comprehensive
plan
for
Parks
because
of
the
upcoming
public
hearing
on
this
there's
the
prospect
of
losing
this
opportunity.
If
the
hearing
examiner
decides
in
favor
of
the
developer,
the
city
would
need
to
work
quickly
with
King
County
to
put
together
a
funding
package
or
the
opportunity
May
well
be
lost.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
time.
Q
Q
I
was
on
the
brink
of
losing
my
apartment
before
I
graduated,
the
a
new
pre-apprenticeship
program
and
became
an
apprentice
laborer
through
working
on
Public
Works
projects
requiring
apprenticeships
I
was
able
to
learn
and
become
a
skilled.
Laborer
I
have
had
the
opportunity
to
be
promoted
and
become
a
four
woman.
Q
Q
I
now
have
the
opportunity
to
teach
my
children
that,
if
you
decide
college
is
not
the
path
for
you.
There
is
another
path
you
can
take.
That
does
not
require
working
two
jobs,
it's
a
skilled
trade
and
a
career
with
great
benefits
and
endless
opportunities
because
of
apprenticeship
utilization.
This
is
more
possible.
Q
A
Thank
you
for
your
testimony,
so
we
that's
three
for
out
of
three
for
the
apprenticeship
program.
R
Hello
good
evening,
mayor
Robinson
and
Bellevue
city
council
members,
thanks
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
you
about
the
save
Coal
Creek
initiative,
my
name
is
Lynn
Cameron
and
I've
lived
in
Bellevue
for
over
40
years,
and
the
thing
I
love
most
about
living
here
is
all
the
city's
parks
and
trails
I
use
them
on
a
daily
basis.
So
thank
you
all
for
that.
I
remember
the
first
time,
I
hiked
in
the
Coal
Creek
Natural
Area
I
felt,
like
I,
had
been
transported
deep
into
a
pristine
Forest.
The
Sun
was
shining
through
the
Treetops.
R
The
birds
were
singing,
the
the
stream
was
trickling
by
the
trail.
It
was
really
amazing
and,
as
I
emerged
out
on
the
red,
Town
trailhead
much
to
my
surprise,
the
trailheads
for
Cougar
Mountain
were
right
across
the
street
and
I
thought
wow.
This
is
the
epicenter
of
Nirvana
for
any
Avid
hiker
in
Bellevue.
R
So,
let's
fast
forward
for
10
years
and
imagine
walking
these
seam
trails
and
having
that
Nirvana
destroyed
by
a
huge
Housing,
Development
butted
up
against
the
trail
and
over
those
10
years,
the
construction,
traffic,
the
destruction
of
land
and
trees
and
the
noise.
All
these
things
alleviating
any
sense
of
joy
in
the
hiking
experience.
R
B
B
I
understood
your
motion
to
be
for
the
apprenticeship
item.
Only
no
okay
I'll
continue
with
the
list.
Then
the
next
speaker
would
be
Catherine
McCarter.
S
Good
evening,
thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak
this
evening
appreciate
your
time.
I
was
hoping.
I
would
be
the
last
one
on
this
topic
to
speak,
but
here
I
am
so.
What
we
have
to
bring
to
you
this
evening
is
perhaps
not
as
momentous
as
some
other
topics
that
have
been
discussed,
but
it
is
something
that
is
really
affecting
our
community
of
Robinswood
and
that
is
difficulties
ongoing
with
the
Robinswood
dog
park.
S
These
difficulties
started
at
least
four
years
ago
in
the
Newport
Hills
dog
park,
and
then,
when
that
was
closed,
kind
of
shifted
up
to
the
Robinson
dog
park,
which
is
a
smaller
property.
So
what
we
have
now
is
an
increase
of
of
numbers
in
the
park.
S
There's
an
individual,
a
young
able-bodied
man
who
has
set
up
camp
basically
in
the
park,
typically
seven
days
a
week
from
noon
till
it
gets
dark
five
six
o'clock,
you
know,
as
it
gets
darker
later
he's
there
at
the
table,
the
one
and
only
table
in
the
park
and
if
he
gets
irritated
with
someone
for
whatever
reason
or
someone's
dog
or
whatever,
he
will
go
on
verbal
tirades
accosting.
The
people
in
the
park-
it's
gotten
so
bad-
that
many
individuals,
many
individuals
have
chosen
not
to
come
to
the
park
anymore.
S
It
isn't
an
option
to
not
come
unless
he's
not
there
because
he's
always
there.
We
have
tried
to
work
with
this
individual.
We
have
tried
to
work
with
the
Bellevue
Police
Department.
We've
tried
to
work
with
the
parks
department
to
try
to
mitigate
this
situation
and
basically
just
be
able
to
go
and
enjoy
this,
isn't
it.
This
is
an
important
part
of
the
community
being
able
to
go
and
enjoy
this
time
with
their
dog.
S
S
It
has
recently
come
to
a
head
due
to
events
that
don't
have
anything
to
do
with
the
park.
They
do
have
something
to
do
with
me
for
reasons
I
won't
go
into
tonight.
I've
got
to
hurry,
but
he
has
renewed
his
enmity
towards
me,
including
spreading
lies
and
slander.
All
through
the
park
to
anybody
he
can
who
will
listen
and
attacking
any
known
individual
that
with
known
Association
to
myself,
so
the
other
two
speakers
can
kind
of
give
you
a
little
more
of
an
insight
into
how
that's
affecting
them.
S
U
Thank
you
good
evening.
My
name
is
Justin.
Hanlon
I've
lived
here
in
Bellevue
for
the
last
25
years.
The
this
is
where
I
moved
to.
This
is
my
last
station
when
I
was
in
the
Coast,
Guard
and
retired,
from
the
Coast
Guard,
and
just
like
previous
speaker,
I'm
here,
to
be
asked
that
something
to
be
done.
Concerning
this
homeless
individual,
he
spends
the
majority
of
the
day,
seven
days
a
week
at
the
robin
ones
off
leash
dog
park.
U
U
Just
here
to
let
my
dog
be
at
the
park,
he
called
the
police
on
me,
police
came
talked
to
him,
told
him
that
the
told
both
of
us
nobody
broke
any
laws
left
the
moment
they
walked
out
the
gate
he
started
in
on
me
again.
I
walked
over
to
him
and
said:
look
man
I,
don't
want
any
problems
with
you
knock
it
off.
Just
let
it
go
es
on
me.
I
have
an
SEI
SCSI
clearance
through
my
job.
I
cannot
be
talking
to
the
police.
I
could
put
that
clearance
in
Jeopardy,
so
I.
U
U
Basically
he
is,
you
know
the
he's
ruling
that
dog
park
with
an
iron
fist
he's
using
the
Bellevue
Police
Department
as
a
private
security
Force.
At
this
point
and
when
I
address
it
with
a
police
officer,
why
can't
something
be
done?
Isn't
calling
the
police
for
frivolous
reasons,
a
crime
they
told
me
they
suggested
I.
Take
it
up
conflict
resolution
from
mediation,
I
work
full
time.
I
don't
have
the
time
to
do
this
and
I
really
don't
have
a
desire
to
do
it.
U
It's
not
really
fair,
because
now
I
have
to
go
to
other
cities.
Mercer
Island,
some
matters
Plateau
to
use
their
dog
parks.
I
live
five
minutes
from
Robinswood
my
property
taxes;
pay
for
that
Park
I'm.
Just
asking
the
city,
council
and
police
begin
enforcing
Municipal
cold;
the
municipal,
sorry,
municipal
code,
3.43,
320
expulsion
from
a
city
park
on
this
individual.
That's
all
I
have
thank
you.
V
Oh
good
evening,
Bellevue
city
council
members
I'm
here
to
speak
on
the
same
issue.
I've
been
going
to
this
dog
park
for
man
since
she
was
like
one
years
old.
We
would
walk
over
from
the
daycare
and
get
to
play
with
the
dogs
before
we
even
had
a
dog
and
she's
grown
up
on
the
playground
she's
played
in
the
soccer
fields
like
this
is
our
go-to
park
and
it's
the
only
dog
park
we
have
and
I've
had
similar
issues
with
this
person
that
has
been
testified
about
here.
V
I'm
public
comment
and
I
have
been
verbally,
harassed
and
I've
been
called
a
fat
bee.
I've
been
called
the
c
word
and
just
for
simple
things.
V
Like
your
dog's
pooping
like
a
friendly
hay,
your
dog's
pooping,
you
didn't
see
it,
which
is
such
a
normal
thing
that
you
hear
in
the
dog
park
and
it's
just
gotten
to
the
point
where
I
walk
in
and
I'm
being
verbally,
harassed,
I'm
being
yelled
at
and
being
cussed
at
and
I'm,
just
walking
in
and
I'm
being
targeted
because,
like
I'm
friendly
with
other
people
that
this
person
doesn't
like-
and
it's
gotten
to
the
point
where
my
daughter
has
broken
down
in
tears,
because
she's
felt
intimidated
in
the
park,
and
this
is
a
place
that
she
goes
and
she
plays
with
the
dogs
and
she
loves
them.
V
She
wants
to
pet
them
and
it's
a
really
hostile
environment,
and
this
is
a
place
where
I'm
I'm,
a
dog,
walker
and
I
have
dogs
that
won't
poop
on
a
leash,
and
so
the
safest
option
is
to
go
to
the
park
and
let
them
do
their
business
and
I.
Come
in
I
come
out
and
I'm
I'm
being
filmed
I've
seen
this
person
hide
behind
trees,
trees.
Filming
me,
he
calls
the
cops
on
me.
I'm
trying
to
get
me
kicked
out
and
I
just
want
peace
to
be
restored
in
this
park.
A
B
A
W
Well,
thank
you
mayor,
thank
you,
Deputy
Mayor
and
the
rest
of
the
council.
My
name
is
Billy
heatherington,
a
proud
member
of
Labor's
local
242.
I
want
to
speak
tonight
in
support
of
the
apprenticeship
utilization.
W
That's
on
the
docket
there
I
want
to
thank
each
of
you
for
all
the
work
that
you've
done
around
this
Workforce
Development
Tool
for
the
city's
future
infrastructure
work
as
I
was
kind
of
going
through
some
history
a
little
bit
and
taking
some
notes
from
Monty
Anderson
and
others
that
have
been
speaking
with
Council
here
and
others
in
Bellevue.
W
It
seems
like
this
conversation's
kind
of
gone
back
over
four
years
ago
and
I
know
that
the
first
time
it
appeared
on
the
docket
was
last
February,
but
we
all
know
it
takes
a
little
while
and
conversations
need
to
be
had
before
it
even
comes
to
a
council
for
the
first
time.
So
this
has
been
on
the
agenda.
This
will
be
the
third
time
now
and
I
talked
about
at
Council
Retreat.
W
So
it's
something
that's
been
very
well
talked
about
throughout
City
City
Hall
here
and
myself
and
Building
Trades
have
gone
out
into
the
community.
Talked
to
the
Bellevue
Chamber
met
with
leadership
at
Bellevue
College
community-based
organizations
like
Eastside
Pathways
and
Bellevue
School
District,
to
name
a
few
that
we've
been
out
in
the
community
and
talking
with
one
of
my
big
passions
is
apprenticeship.
When
I
came
out
of
the
field
about
six.
W
Seven
years
ago,
I
became
a
coordinator
for
Labor's
local
242
and
working
with
people
like
my
sister
Andrea
ornelius
over
there
and
learning
how
these
opportunities
just
change
people's
lives
right,
and
so
you
know,
242
in
the
Building
Trades
are
in
this
100
percent
in
this
community
right,
we've
done
a
ton
of
work.
I've
mentioned
before
to
this
Council
that
Interlake
High
School
now
has
a
construction
state
registered
construction.
Pre-Apprenticeship
program
I've
worked
really
hand
in
hand
with
on
their
CTE
education
board.
W
Over
there,
Advisory
Board
got
funding
for
that
school
to
new
they're,
going
to
be
building
a
1500
square
foot,
an
outdoor,
enclosed
kind
of
a
semi-enclosed,
semi-not
enclosed
building
to
where
the
students
can
do
larger
projects
over
there,
so
I
mean
we're
taking
this
on
100.
It's
not
just
you
know,
want
to
get.
It's
I
try
to
look
at
it
like
a
pipeline
right.
W
The
Bellevue
schools
are
in
the
pipeline,
Bellevue
cities
in
the
pipeline,
the
counties
in
the
pipeline
The,
Building,
Trades
everybody's
in
the
pipeline,
and
so
I'd
really
urge
you
to
move
this
forward
as
soon
as
possible.
So
we
can
see
these
opportunities
for
students
of
Bellevue
for
just
people
in
the
community.
So
thank
you.
B
X
I
have
to
adjust
this
microphone
a
little
bit
and
I
apologize.
My
voice
is
gone
good
evening
and
thank
you,
Council
city
council,
for
allowing
me
the
opportunity
to
speak
in
support
of
the
ordinance
for
the
apprenticeship
utilization.
My
name
is
Mariana
Talbot
I
am
the
pre-apprenticeship
Outreach
and
retention
coordinator
for
the
Northwest
Carpenters
Institute
I've
been
with
the
organization
for
12
years,
an
active
member
of
Local
196,
which
is
a
pile
drivers
and
divers
so
single-handedly
I
work
quite
actively
with
our
high
schools,
I
work
with
our
pre-apprenticeship
programs
and
other
labor
trades.
X
We
were
one
of
the
very
first
crafts
to
work
with
Interlake
High
School
help
them
to
bring
curriculum
into
their
their
construction
program,
as
well
as
help
them
to
become
state
recognized.
I
have
been
able
to
work
with
Seattle
Public,
Schools
Highline,
School
District,
as
well
as
federally
public
schools
and
helping
them
to
come
up
with
language
very
similar
to
what
we're
talking
about
today.
X
Sorry,
the
Sound
Transit
projects,
the
work
within
the
city
of
Seattle,
King,
County
and
they're,
able,
because
of
the
same
type
of
language,
where
there's
apprenticeship
utilization
requirements,
we're
able
to
place
them
onto
a
job.
We're
able
to
see
them
come
into
the
apprenticeship
program
and
to
see
them
Journey
out
where
they'll
be
making
well
over
60
an
hour
plus
full
benefits.
X
They're
learning
a
skilled
trade
along
their
apprenticeship
time
that
they
can
take
virtually
anywhere
again
they're,
building
their
their
local
communities.
They're.
Also
helping
because
of
this
language.
Helping
to
bring
Revenue
into
the
community
by
having
them,
you
know,
build
their
high
schools,
build
their
middle
schools,
build
maybe
their
corner
stores
or
small
businesses.
So
it's
also
helping
the
the
local
small
businesses
and
their
local
community
as
well
right.
It's
bringing
that
that
Revenue
into
into
their
Community,
so
I'm,
really
hoping
that
the
city
council
does.
X
You
know,
support
the
ordinance
of
of
the
apprenticeship
utilization
language,
because
I
can
tell
you
firsthand
I've
seen
it
be
very
successful.
I've
seen
people
come
in
with
little
to
nothing
and
be
able
to
have
these,
you
know
buy
their
first
house
by
the
time
you
know
if
they're
they're,
20
25
years
old,
you
don't
be
able
to
to
survive.
So
that's
all
I
have
I'm
trying
not
to
get
hung
up
with
that
that
time
or
like
yeah
I
tell.
L
A
D
As
he
Kyle
my
best
friend
them
a
Nazi
fascist,
my
name
Alex
Zimmerman
two
months
ago,
I
go
to
Bell,
Seattle
school
board
meeting
and
after
five
seconds.
What
does
I
speak?
Three
top
manager
come
and
pick
up
me
out
after
this.
They
give
a
trespass
for
six
months
from
all
territories
spoke
with
you
about
this
before
this
is
not
about
my
trespass.
It's
about
fascism,
Bellevue
school.
For
my
understanding,
absolutely
indented
culture,
Nazi
concentration
camp.
You
know
talking
about
killed
children
from
from
six
to
ten.
D
D
Five
seconds,
I
speak
in
the
take
me
out.
What
is
wrong
you
can
do
in
for
five
seconds.
First
time
in
my
life,
what
is
I
speak
to
board
meeting?
Is
this
board
meeting
very
unique?
Is
a
five
woman?
Five
women
are
sex
apart,
a
saxophone
who's,
his
five
human
birth?
No
man
there's
no
more
men
in
Belle
of
you
I'm
confused
about
this
too.
So
what's
happened,
for
example,
when
this
will
be
five
men.
You
know
one
woman.
His
noise
will
be
probably
to
the
Moon,
but
we
are
sepsis.
D
So
it's
exactly
what
is
I
want.
You
and
I
asked
you
before
and
I
will
ask
you
in
every
meeting
I
demand
investigation.
We
don't
have
human
right
commission
like
Seattle,
however
San
Francisco,
we
have
community.
No,
no.
What
is
mean
human
Community
I
spoke
with
them
as
a
guy.
You
posted
investigations,
nothing
happened,
I
make
two
complaints
to
school
board.
Discriminatory,
say
not
answer,
say
no
care.
D
You
understand
what
this
means.
So
what
is
we
have
right
now
in
their
own
town,
Bellevue
teacher
could
teach
18
000
children
acting
like
a
Nazi
like
a
gestapa
like
a
freaking
idiot.
You
need
something
doing
it
about
this
in
humor
responsible
for
everything.
What
has
happened
in
Bellevue?
It's
under
your
jurisdiction,
I
demand
investigation,
I
have
simple
question:
how
is
this
possible?
What
is
this
teacher
will
be
teach
us
children
when
they
don't
give
instructions
speak
more
than
for
five
seconds
and
I
told
you
before
and
I
will
talk
you
again.
A
Okay,
so
we
have
in
our
packet
a
report
from
the
city
manager.
Mr
Miyake
did
you
want
to
speak
to
it
at
all,
just.
T
Want
to
mention
it
is
a
written
report.
It
is
the
fourth
quarter,
Economic
Development
report.
It
is
there's
no
presentation
plan
tonight,
but
please
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
Michael
cotterman
as
well
as
Jesse
Canaveral,
both
Mark
Community
Development
Department.
If
you
have
questions.
A
Thank
you,
I
did
read
it
very
interesting
and
I
did
send
in
the
comments,
so
I
welcome
everybody
to
do
that
as
well.
Next
is
a
very
important
part
of
business.
If
I
haven't
skipped
anything
somebody's
going
to
miss
a
meeting,
I
threatened
to
miss
a
meeting
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
and
I
didn't,
but
this
is
for
Real,
so
could
I.
Please
have
an
excused
absence.
Certainly
mayor.
E
Y
A
Those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
opposed
okay.
So
we
have
four
study
session
items,
but
just
three
that
we're
going
to
have
presented
tonight
and
I
think
we'll
just
go
ahead
and
start
with
the
first
one
and
then
we'll
take
a
break
after
that.
Maybe
if
we
need
one
but
we're
very
honored
to
have
Julie
Tim
from
Sound
Transit
here,
CEO
Sound,
Transit
and
Mr
Miyaki
I'll,
let
you
introduce
this.
T
Thank
you
mayor,
we're
very
pleased
to
have
sound
transit's
new
chief
executive
officer
join
us
here
this
evening,
Julie
Tim,
as
many
of
you
know,
Miss
Tim
took
her
post
in
September
and
she
spends
spending
quite
a
bit
of
time
on
the
east
side
as
well
as
Bellevue.
Tonight.
We
expect
to
hear
a
little
bit
about
Eastlink,
as
well
as
the
East
link
starter
line,
which
are
great
of
interest
to
the
city
of
Bellevue
and
some
other
issues.
T
Z
Thank
you,
city
manager,
Miyake
and
good
evening,
mayor
deputy
mayor
council
members.
It's
my
pleasure
to
help
introduce
Sound,
Transit,
CEO
Julie
Tim
to
you.
It
has
been
only
boy
five
months,
I
think
since
CEO
Tim
took
the
helm
at
Sound,
Transit
and
she's
been
fast
at
work
before
she
was
here
in
the
Puget
Sound.
She
was
in
Virginia
in
Tennessee,
with
leadership
posts
at
other
Transit
agencies.
She
brings
a
wealth
of
experience
in
title
VI
in
Innovations
and
fair
policy
and
in
ridership
growth.
Z
So
we're
really
excited
to
have
her
here
in
the
Puget
Sound
to
help
us
Embrace
and
take
on
a
lot
of
challenges.
We
have
and,
as
you
know,
she's
already
hit
the
ground
running
and
has
spent
a
lot
of
time
on
the
east
side.
You've
already
met
her
at
some
community
events
before
tonight
and
I
know.
She
is
really
excited
to
begin
this
beautiful
relationship
with
us.
Our
staffs,
are
already
working
more
and
more
closely
together,
which
we're
very
excited
about
and
I
know.
Z
AA
A
AA
First
thing
you
should
probably
know
about
me
is
that
I
don't
do
well
following
rules.
I
wasn't
supposed
to
touch
the
mic
and
clearly
I
already
broke
that
rule
I
moved
it
and
then
read
this.
Thank
you
so
much
for
inviting
me
here
today.
I
really
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
address
you
about
what's
going
on
with
Sound
Transit,
especially
as
we
are
looking
to
move
forward
to
starting
operations
in
Bellevue
and
not
too
distant
future.
My
first
experience
with
Bellevue
was
honestly
before
I
started.
Working
at
Sound
Transit,
my
son
was
in
town.
AA
AA
So
we
took
the
the
550
bus
across
the
I-90
to
get
out
here,
and
it
was
a
great
experience
and,
as
we
were
driving
out,
we
looked
over
and
saw
all
the
traffic
going
back
to
Seattle
stopped
on
I-90
turns
out.
That
was
the
same
weekend
that
they
closed,
I-90
I
have
learned
since
then
to
follow.
Twitter
use
Twitter,
follow
the
social
media
and
to
be
aware
of
what's
going
on
with
the
mobility
system,
but
we
had
a
great
visit
to
Bellevue.
There
was
my
son's
first
visit.
My
first
visit.
AA
AA
I
did
attend
the
Bellevue
Downtown
Association
dinner,
just
across
the
street
I
guess
two
weeks
ago,
time
flies
and
the
keynote
speaker
I
was
watching
that
very
intently,
because
the
idea
about
doing
hyper
local
place
making
is
something
that
I
think
aligns
very
well
with
what
sound
transit
needs
to
lean
into
in
the
future,
and
it
is
probably
representative
of
a
lot
of
the
Partnerships
we're
also
looking
at
with
Tod
investment
in
this
region,
but
also
some
of
the
the
the
the
plaza
activation
the
station
activation
that
we
need
to
do
across
our
entire
system
and
I
did
talk
with
with
my
team
here
as
we
walked
out
and
said.
AA
You're
now,
charged
with
finding
ways
to
do
hyper.
Local
activation
of
our
stations
and
Bellevue
is
one
of
those
places.
I'd
love
to
see
us
start
that
activation
before
we
can
do
that.
We
need
the
starter
line,
so
the
starter
line
is
many
of
the
things
I'm
going
to
talk
about
today.
I
believe
you
are
probably
more
familiar
with
more
intimately
familiar
with
than
I
am
having
been
here
for
five
months.
You
have
been
living
and
breathing
these
decisions
for
years
and
living
these.
The
construction
so
I
understand
how
disappointed
it
would.
AA
It
was
when
we
recently
announced
that
we
would
have
to
delay
the
opening
of
the
East
link
because
of
our
construction
issues,
which
are
numerous
some
inside
our
control
and
some
outside,
but
regardless
it
has
an
impact
on
how
we're
connecting
across
the
region,
especially
here
so
when
Claudia
Balducci
and
with
others
made
comments
and
suggestions
about
how
to
look
at
opening
an
East
link,
starter
line
that
was
I.
Think
just
before
I
got
here
and
when
I
first
got
here,
I
said
they
said.
Can
we
do
this?
I
said?
Why
not
sure?
AA
Let's,
let's
start
with
yes
and
then
work
from
there
and
the
project
team
has
been
very
actively
working
to
understand.
What
are
the
risk
factors
that
would
prevent
us
from
opening
an
Eastlink
starter,
which
would
be
approximately
and
I
have
the
notes
here
if
you
hadn't
noticed,
I
also
hate
to
speak
from
my
notes.
AA
AA
So
that's
seven
miles
is
not
connected
to
the
rest
of
the
system,
as
you
know,
but
it
has
the
benefit
of
the
omf
East
operations.
Maintenance
facility
East,
with
all
the
development
around
all
the
stations
having
that
station
here
is
the
critical
factor
that
is
going
to
allow
us
to
even
consider
this
possibility.
Having
that
foresight
of
putting
it
on
this
side
of
the
water
rather
than
the
other,
is
the
reason
why
we
can
actually
investigate
having
an
a
starter
line,
but
the
risks
that
between
now
and
there
are
still
very
real.
AA
We
have
to
make
sure
that
we
can
hire
the
staff
necessary
to
operate
the
system.
We
have
to
make
sure
we
can
hire
the
staff
necessary
to
maintain
the
system.
King
County
Metro
is
a
key
partner
with
us
in
making
sure
that
we
meet
the
meet
the
benchmarks
necessary
so
that
we
can
possibly
meet
that
that
opening
Target
of
spring
2024.
We
also
have
What's
called
pims
the
passenger
information
management
system.
AA
It's
an
item
that
we've
been
working
on
for
several
years
that
will
launch
across
the
system,
but
it
is
critical
for
us
to
be
able
to
open
a
starter
line
here
on
the
east
side.
It
is
critical
path,
it
is
moving
forward,
but
is,
when
those
risk
items
we're
watching
closely
we're
also
looking
at
some
risk
factors
with
what's
called
scada,
and
if
you're
going
to
ask
me
what
that
means.
AA
I
can't
tell
you
it's
the
way
we
talk
to
our
trains
from
the
dispatch
to
the
trains
and
that's
an
item
that
we
are
looking
at
is
critical
path.
We
are
progressing
we're
managing
it,
but
we
have
to
make
sure
we
hit
all
of
our
Milestones
so
that
our
Operation
Center
can
talk
to
the
trains
critically
important.
We
also
have
an
issue
where
we're
trying
to
manage
the
the
vehicles.
AA
We
have
vehicle
testing,
that's
happening
since
we
can't
get
across
the
water
with
the
vehicles
we
have
to
test
them
on
the
west
side
being
from
the
east
coast,
and
the
the
water
on
the
east
coast
is
to
the
east,
so
I
I
kind
of
script
with
the
water
here
so
I'm
constantly
having
to
reframe
okay.
So
we
go
over
to
the
west
side,
which
is
close
to
the
ocean,
which
is
where
our
omf
Central
is,
and
that's
where
we
have
to
test
a
lot
of
the
vehicles.
AA
We
have
to
be
able
to
transfer
upward
them
back
and
forth.
So
we
had
the
vehicles
here
and
we
have
some
of
our
first
generation
vehicles
that
are
here
and
ready
to
use
you've
seen
some
of
the
testing
on
it,
but
still
make
sure
we
have
enough
Vehicles
getting
them
across
the
water
when
the
the
bridge
structure
isn't
ready,
is
one
of
those
risk
factors
we're
managing
another.
AA
One
of
the
risk
factors
we're
managing
is,
what's
called
our
link
control
center,
that
we
have
to
have
a
Consolidated
control
center
with
in
the
omf
central
that
is
able
to
operate,
and
that
has
some
needs
for
some
high
vac
units.
Again
that's
critical
path,
I
believe
we
had
the
contract
in
order
to
do
that.
The
reason
I
bring
all
these
up
is
to
say
that
it's
not
a
done
deal.
AA
It
is
not
a
foregone
conclusion
that
we
will
have
an
Eastlink
starter,
but
we've
identified
the
risks
and
we
are
managing
to
them
and
so
far
we're
managing
successfully
and
I
remain
optimistic
that
we
will
remain
on
target
for
the
board
to
make
a
final
decision
and
the
fall
time
frame
to
move
forward
where
the
East
links
doctors.
So
I
don't
want
to
give
you
a
all
Rosy
picture,
but
I
will
tell
you.
AA
It
is
still
looking
positive
and
optimistic
and
I'm
pretty
excited
for
it,
because
it
means
a
hard
pivot
from
what
we
were
originally
looking
at
and
when
I
look
at
all
of
the
Tod
Luke
Mr
Lemon
did
I
say
your
last
name
right,
I,
don't
think
I've
ever
said.
Luke's
last
name
gave
me
my
I
think
my
third
or
fourth
tour
of
the
system
before
this
and
looking
at
all
the
Tod
development,
the
Overlake
overpass,
the
pedestrian
bridge,
the
connectivity
to
Redmond,
where
we're
going
with
the
the
station
development,
the
Tod
development.
AA
Again,
it's
an
incredibly
exciting
opportunity
to
lean
into
the
Partnerships
that
have
really
taken
hold,
are
in
Bellevue
around
our
East
link,
not
just
the
starter
line,
but
also
around
the
different
stations
where
we're
seeing
development
not
grow,
not
only
grow.
Now
not
only
what
is
Bank
growing
but
see
the
opportunities
for
growth
in
affordable
housing
and
Tut
around
all
of
those
stations
is
truly
inspiring
and
should
be
an
example
of
where
we
can
go
when
we
have
the
vision-
and
we
all
come
together
around
that
Vision.
AA
So
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
that.
Partnership.
I
know
that
it
hasn't
always
been
easy
to
get
here,
but
we
are
getting
close
to
that
finish.
Line
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
that.
So
I
have
a
lot
more.
That
I
can
talk
about
with
a
starter
line
and
about
the
East
link,
but,
as
just
talked
specifically
about
some
of
the
challenges
we
do
have
right
now
with
EastLink.
AA
Those
are
the
items
over
I-90
I
believe
that
you
may
have
heard
about
many
of
the
issues
we're
having
specifically
with
what
are
called
plinths.
Those
are
long,
concrete
blocks
that
have
rebar
in
them
that
the
the
rail
sits
on
top
of
and
those
are
in,
the
process
of
being
reconstructed.
They
had
to
be
demolished
and
reconstructed
and
we
have
approximately
75
percent
of
them
have
been
demolished
and
we
have
a
new
section
where
we
looked
at
the
new
design
and
the
John
is
here
that
can
talk
about
in
more
detail.
AA
If
you
want
some
technical
information,
but
the
non-technical
is
that
we
have
an
area
where
they
put
in
some
test
area
test
splints.
They
are
past
our
our
first
inspection
and
we're
looking
now
to
ramp
up
the
actual
implementation
reconstruction
of
those
across
the
entire
system.
Once
we
see
how
quickly
those
are
constructed,
we'll
understand
what
our
opening
date
will
likely
be
for
the
full
East
link
to
connect
the
system
across
Lake
Washington,
so
we're
still
managing
that
risk.
But
it
is
looking
positive
that
we
do
have
a
solution.
AA
That
solution
is
and
the
acceptance
phase,
and
that
means
that
we
can
launch
a
larger
scale,
faster
construction,
they're,
working
close
to
24,
7
I,
don't
know
if
you've
gone
across
the
water
across
I-90
and
watched,
but
there's
different
phases
where
you'll
see
lights
and
workers
nearly
every
day
of
the
week,
all
hours
stride
brt.
Now
you
were
promised
a
little
bit
of
update
about
that,
and
we
have
the
team
here
as
well
to
talk
about
that.
Bernard
is
a
been
leading.
AA
AA
However,
it
is
moving
forward
in
three
different
phases.
We
have
contracts
underway
with
washdot.
We
have
designs
progressing,
we
have
final
property
Acquisitions
underway
and
that
proper
those
projects
are
progressing
quite
well,
considering
that
nothing
is
easy
when
you
go
through
built
environments
and
have
to
disrupt
the
way
people
live
and
how
they
live
to
create
our
future.
These
are
General
generational,
Investments
brt
is
one
of
those
light
rails
another,
and
so
we
know
that
they
don't
come
without
disruption
and
pain,
but
for
the
long
term,
next
50
to
100
years.
AA
These
are
investments
that
will
connect
our
communities
and
connect
our
people's
very
equitably
with
service
to
all
the
resources
that
many
of
us
get
to
enjoy
without
the
use
of
Transit
again
I
have
lots
of
information
in
the
notes
and
lots
of
details.
I
can
go
into,
but
I
think.
The
last
thing
I'd
like
to
just
lean
into
is
the
the
Tod
around
omf
South.
AA
The
Spring
District
I
got
to
see
that
several
months
ago,
when
I
first
got
here
and
the
collaboration
that
went
into
making
that
happen
next
to
our
omf
facility
and
the
growth
I
I
was
impressed
when
I
saw
it
before.
But
today,
when
I
walked
through
and
saw
people
walking
their
dogs,
the
the
complete
streets
environment,
the
large
sidewalks,
the
the
way
you
have
to
actually
go
over
more
of
a
speed
hump
for
The
Pedestrian
Crossings.
AA
I
just
was
so
impressed
when
I
saw
it
the
first
time
and
continue
to
be
more
impressed.
Every
time
I
see
it
and
see
the
other
news
coming
to
Bellevue.
There's
a
lot
more.
That
I
could
talk
about.
I've
been
talking
non-stop
I
need
to
take
a
quick
breath
if
I
can
and
if
there
are
any
specific
questions
on
anything
that
I've
talked
about
any
more
detail.
You'd
like
or
topic
I
haven't
addressed.
I
would
be
more
than
happy
to
take
your
questions
at
this
time
and
thank
you
again
for.
I
AA
Opportunity
to
talk
to
you
about
these
very
these
generational
projects
that
I
I
couldn't
be
more
thrilled
to
see
come
to
this
region
and
my
optimism
for
the
East
link,
starter.
A
AB
Yeah
I
was
just
thinking
about
this
councilmember
Jennifer,
Robertson
and
I,
and
former
council
member
Kevin
Wallace
we're
on
the
the
team
working
with
from
Bellevue
working
with
Sound,
Transit
and
I
see
several
of
those
people
here,
and
it's
just
amazing
that
we're
at
this
point.
Of
course,
we're
expecting
this
year
to
be
the
one
where
we
at
our
dances
and
everything.
But
things
happen,
and
actually
we
probably
are
going
to
have
a
better
system
when
you
go
through
going
through
a
lot
of
this.
AB
It's
always
having
his
time
to
you
know,
do
things
a
little
different
and
everything,
but
just
want
to
appreciate
and
I.
Don't
it's
something
that
happened.
That
really
wasn't
happening
in
a
lot
of
places
was
that,
from
the
very
beginning,
the
staff
and
all
the
sound
Trends
and
Leadership
and
staff
and
leadership
in
Bellevue,
work
together
and
I
think
that's
a
big
part
of
it
and
anytime
we
had
problems,
we
could
go
talk
talk
about
them,
but
most
of
the
time,
we're
figuring
out
how
to
get
things
done
and
I
think
that's.
AB
That's
really
great
and
I'm
really
appreciate
your
leadership.
What
I've
I've
heard
and
I
enjoyed
meeting
you
at
the
BDA
event,
but
I
think
you're
you're
the
person
we
need
now
to
move
us
forward
and
you
bring
a
different
perspective.
That's
that's
really
good
and
you
have
a
great
team.
So
we're
going
to
do
this
thing
and
I'm
keeping
my
fingers
crossed
that
we're
going
to
get
the
the
Bellevue
line
going
quicker
as
you're
talking
about
this,
but
I
don't
have
any
questions
to
ask
I.
AB
Think
I'm
just
really
excited
that
what
you're
doing
and
how
you've
come
into
this,
and
sometimes
people
come
in
on
these
things
and
okay
I'm
going
to
set
this
thing
right
and
everything
else
you've
come
in
and
really
get
vibes
from
you
in
terms
of
all
the
stuff
that's
going
on.
So
we
appreciate
that
we're
going
to
work
real
hard
with
you
and
we'll
get
this
done
and
looking
forward
to
writing
that
first
train.
AA
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
I
think
it's
it's.
If
I
might
respond,
it's
very
easy
to
come
in
and
see
the
things
that
are
challenges
where
we've
we've
had
where
we've
stumbled
and
when
we
see
those
things.
Those
are
things
that
we
need
to
recognize
we
need
to
solve,
but
when
we
focus
on
that,
we
forget
the
literally
billions
of
dollars
and
miles
and
miles
worth
of
6
a
successful
infrastructure
that
is
in
place
today
because
of
the
Partnerships
we
have
with
our
cities
and
our
counties
and
the
work
that
this
death
has
done.
C
Thank
you
all
time
flies
when
you're
having
fun
welcome,
welcome
to
the
Mississippi
Northwest
and
to
San
Transit
project.
It's
when
I
was
the
mayor.
I
had
the
team
of
Jennifer
Robertson,
Kevin,
Wallace
and
John
Stokes
working
with
sun
Transit,
and
that's
when
the
partnership
was
built
with
sun
transit
in
Bellevue.
We
went
through
a
very
tough
process.
It's
not
easy,
but
that's
the
Bellevue
Way.
We
make
very
deliberate
decisions
and
we
have
the
best
results
and
I'm
very
happy
to
see
that
all
the
transit
Light
Rail
that's
in
place
the
East
Side
segment.
C
It's
turned
into
to
be
the
best.
I
must
say
that
even
for
the
outsider
so
anyway
and
I
agree
with
the
councilmember
Stokes
that
your
I
to
me
I
feel
the
vibe
that
you
are
a
fresh
breath
of
fresh
air,
your
attitude
of
do
it.
You
know
why
not
and
try
to
make
it
work.
So
thank
you
and
I
think
we're
going
to
look
forward
to
in
some
real
good
progress
in
the
future.
I
have
two
questions
for
you:
one
is
from
the
staff
and
which
is
the
easy
one
and
there's
a
hard
one.
AA
C
You
can
work
it
out,
make
it
happen
in
in
the
due
time,
but
I
would
like
to
know
a
little
bit
more
about
it
if
your
staff
can
share
with
me
separately,
not
now
another
time,
because
that
is
very
obviously
critical
piece
you
know
of
connecting
the
easy
one
is
what
Islam
told
me
to
ask
you
is,
as
we
know,
Amazon
recently
has
announced
the
three-day
return
to
office.
C
You
know,
so
we
don't
know
the
pattern
of
the
different
workers
and
now
and
we
will
be
in
the
future
in
business
because
the
pandemic,
you
know
changes
have-
has
taken
place.
So
how
does
Sanchez
help
to
create
a
lifelong
Transit
experience
despite
a
lot
of
unknowns?
So
how
do
you
do
your
planning
so
that
we
going
to
have
the
right
you
know
fit
for
the
right
needs.
AA
Of
course-
and
that's
that
is
actually
I-
think
the
first
question
was
easier.
AA
Yeah,
no
I
I
think
that
the
the
team
that
we
have
working
on
the
issues
over
I-90
the
engineering
that
went
into
it
the
planning
while
there
were
certainly
challenges
they
are
really
leading
into
identifying
all
the
critical
path
risks
looking
at
a
comprehensive
cross-departmental
function
about
how
to
Daylight
those
issues
earlier,
so
that
we
can
remain
on
target
look
at
where
we
have
floating
the
schedule
and
keep
things
on
target.
AA
So
in
a
lot
of
ways,
that's
pretty
easy
to
manage,
because
we
can
look
at
these
the
schedule
of
what
we
know
and
really
manage
to
it,
the
future
of
Light
Rail.
And
how
can
we
make
sure
that
it
remains
vibrant
and
functional
when
we
are
coming
out
of
covid?
It's
one
of
those
things
I.
Think
it's
more
of
an
one
of
those
existential
questions
that
Transit
agencies
across
the
country
are
asking
and
when
I
look
at
it,
I
think
it
really.
AA
It
really
does
a
disservice
to
ourselves
as
Transit
professionals
when
we
love
all
transit
in
the
same
bucket.
The
return
of
Transit
and
the
functionality
of
Transit
really
is
dependent
upon
the
mode
we're
talking
about
whether
it's
light
rail
or
it's
Sounder,
or
it's
St,
Express
or
the
local
buses,
and
how
those
return
to
service.
But
it
also
depends
on
the
market
that
we're
serving
the
community
we're
serving
now
sound,
transit's
Mission
I
think
is
very,
is
one
of
the
reasons
why
I
applied
for
the
job
is
connecting
more
people
to
more
places.
AA
Our
ridership
did
suffer
when
covet
hit,
but
we
also
undercovered
extended
Northgate,
and
when
we
extended
to
Northgate
with
a
ridership.
Now
we
are
back
to
pre-pandemic
levels
and
now
I
get
it
we.
We
should
have
higher
ridership
when
you
expand
to
a
larger
area,
and
so
we're
still
below
where
we
should
be.
But
knowing
that
there
is
still
a
very
heavy
interest
in
people
using
light
rail,
it
still
has
sometimes
standing
room
only.
It
still
has
a
lot
of
ridership
on
it.
AA
It
gives
me
incredible
confidence
that,
as
we
start
opening
up
to
more
areas
and
more
urbanized
regions
and
the
high
connectivity
we
have
with
Sounder
with
Amtrak,
with
Paratransit,
with
Metro,
with
streetcar,
with
ferry
that
robust
Network
now
also
with
your
complete
Street
zoning
to
help
pedestrians
and
bicycles
and
e-bikes
access.
It
tells
me
that
we
will
continue
to
have
a
very
high
ridership
recovery
over
the
next
several
years,
so
I'm
very
confident
about
that.
AA
Now
how
we
can
lean
into
that
to
kind
of
help
people
come
back
means
that
we
have
to
be
very
intentional
about
how
we're
operating.
We
have
to
increase
our
security
presence,
whether
it's
a
reality
or
a
perception
of
safety.
We
have
to
have
better
safety
on
our
service,
so
we
are
having
four
new
Security
Contracts
to
really
lean
into
that
presence
and
how
we're
managing
Safety
and
Security
on
the
system
we're
also
looking
at
cleanliness.
How
do
we
make
sure
that,
as
we
are
maintaining
the
system
that
it
feels
and
is
clean?
AA
That's
been
a
very
big
challenge
for
us
over
covid,
with
the
Staffing
Resources
being
in
short
supply,
not
having
enough
people
to
do.
The
cleaning
has
really
made
we've
suffered
under
that
and
bringing
that
back
is
going
to
be
pretty
it's
going
to
be
critically
important.
Also,
as
people
are
returning
to
work
using
Transit
not
just
to
get
to
work,
it's
going
to
be
very
important.
AA
People
are
using
non-traditional
methods
of
of
mobility
and
just
to
make
sure
that,
as
we
expand
Transit
that
it
continues
to
be
a
a
really
viable,
Clean,
safe,
affordable,
convenient
frequent
way
of
using
Transit
I
believe
that
we'll
see
will
continue
to
lead
the
way
in
recovery
from
compared
to
other
agencies.
I
worked
at
or
seen
across
the
country.
AA
C
C
T
AC
You
also
coming
from
the
East
Coast
I
can
appreciate
the
role
that
Transit
plays
used
to
live
in
DC,
where
it
was
more.
You
know
pretty
ubiquitous,
so
I
look
forward
to
it
continuing
to
build
out
and
becoming
more
ubiquitous
and
helping
to
connect
people
to
more
places.
As
you
mentioned,
I
had
a
question:
I
support
the
East
link,
starter
line
and
I
think
that
would
be
really
amazing
to
have
I
guess.
AC
My
question
I
think
I
read
in
the
report
about
there
being
a
six-month
delay
and
how
that
relates
to
Linwood
and
so
forth,
and
so
I
guess
curious
about
where
that
motivation
for
the
six-month
delay
just
requirement
just
given
that
we're
two
different
we're
separate,
especially
as
we
talk
about
the
starting
line
and
then
how
that
might
play
out,
especially
given
I
guess
that
Eastlink
was
already
sort
of
prioritized
through
st3
and
sort
of.
How
is
that
a
challenge
yeah
so.
AA
If
I
understand
we,
when
we
about
our
qualitative
risk
assessment
and
their
programmatic
review,
of
how
different
lines
were
being
delayed
by
all
the
different
impacts,
whether
it
was
covet
or
construction
or
some
of
the
other
liquefaction
of
soils,
I
never
knew
the
word
liquefaction
before
it's
new
to
my
vocabulary,
but
that
is
a
real
thing
and
the
plants
issue
looking
at
how
we
can
open
these
up
originally
under
st3.
My
understanding
is
that
many
of
these
were
planned
to
overlap
in
their
opening.
AA
So
that's
the
six
months,
it's
really
kind
of
like
a
four
months
after
two
months
and
then
a
four
months
and
a
two
months
and
keeping
that
separation,
so
that
we
don't
over
tax
our
resources
as
we're
opening
up
each
extension.
That's
the
philosophy
behind
it!
Now,
whether
or
not
that
actually
causes
a
delay.
It's
a
different
Factor
I
think
there
there's
a
discussion
about
Linwood
being
delayed
as
we
do.
AA
That
was
that
was
my
my
commitment
to
the
region,
as
well
as
the
board
early
conversation.
Even
when
we
don't
have
perfect
accurate
information,
so
Linwood
as
it's
falling
out,
looks
like
it
will
likely
be
completed
with
construction
and
pre-revenue
testing
somewhere
between
a
june-ish
2024
and
a
december-ish
2024
time
frame.
There
are
still
risks
associated
with
that
as
well.
I
think
it's
probably
likely
somewhere
in
the
middle
of
that,
but
we
are
still
managing
it,
as
the
starter
line
is
projected
to
start
somewhere
in
early
of
2024.
AA
If
we
want
to
hold
that
six
month,
that's
where
we
were
early
signaling,
there
might
be
push
to
Linwood
I'm,
still,
not
convinced
that
push
will
happen.
I
think
that
we're
as
we're
managing
risks
as
we're
managing
resources.
We
can
find
a
way
to
overcome
that,
so
that
one
is
not
impacting
the
other,
but
that's
the
background
to
that
and
it
was
complex
to
try
and
give
that
to
sound
bites
in
boardrooms
and
the
Press.
But
it's
a
it's
a
big
nuanced
kind
of
maze
to
navigate,
and
that's
where
that
came
from.
AA
AD
Resign
really
appreciate
you
coming
tonight
and
look
forward.
We've
worked
really
hard
as
two
agencies
to
have
a
really
good
collaborative
relationship
and
I
look
forward
to
continuing
that
with
you
at
the
helm.
I
just
want
to
have
a
couple
of
comments
and
then
I
have
three
three
questions
which
will
hopefully
be
quick.
My
my
comment
I
wanted
to
reflect
on
what
you
said
about
building
of
the
infrastructure.
AD
You
know
we
worked
really
hard
together
as
partners
to
come
up
with
a
really
good
alignment,
and
although
it's
not
open
yet
when
it
is
open,
there
will
be
no
at
grade
Crossings
completely
dedicated
right-of-way.
For
this
light
rail
train
from
Rainier
station
to
Bel,
Red
and
I
think
that
that's
really
remarkable
and
just
wanted
to
highlight
that,
because
that's
been
something,
that's
been
really
important
to
me
to
make
this
a
ride.
That's
fast
and
safe
and
reliable.
So
I
I
really
appreciated
your
comments
on
having
a
vibrant
and
functional
system.
AD
One
thing
you
didn't
mention
and
I
just
wanted
to
mention:
I
hope
that
that
also
includes
fully
operational
because
a
lot
of
the
systems-
and
maybe
the
Press-
isn't
fair,
but
I've,
seen
a
lot
of
press
about
accessibility
issues
where
people
who
are
in
a
wheelchair
can't
actually
get
on
the
system,
because
the
the
s
elevators
are
not
working.
The
escalators
are
not
working
and
so
I
hope
that
that
is
also.
AD
This
is
just
a
comment
you
don't
need
to
respond,
but
I
hope,
you're,
also
keeping
your
eye
on
that
with
regard
to
the
Eastlake
starter
line
also
join
my
colleagues
in
supporting
that,
if
it
is
approved,
would
the
bus
service
change,
for
example,
how
would
Riders
get
from
South
Bellevue
station
to
stations
in
Seattle
and
what
can
be
done
now
to
prepare
riders
for
more
frequent
service
using
light
rail
I'm
just
going
to
get
my
questions
out
and
then
you
can
answer
them
because
I
want
to
just
be
efficient.
AD
So
that's
the
first
question
if,
if
the
starter
line,
what
happens
with
bus
service?
Second,
with
regard
to
stride,
brt,
which
we're
very
excited
about
and
hope
that
can
be
finished
a
little
sooner
than
you
just
said,
really
grateful
that
you're
looking
at
battery
operated
buses
for
the
stride
and
I'm
wondering
if
that
will
change
the
design
or
operations
of
brt
service
in
Bellevue,
and
then
I
understand
that
it
has
achieved
the
60
design.
Milestone.
X
AD
AA
So
I'm
going
to
start
with
the
the
question
that
you
asked
but
didn't
ask
about
vertical
conveyances.
That's
our
elevators
and
escalators
and
I
will
tell
you
that
it
is
one
of
those
issues
that
I
talked
to
my
team
about
literally
every
day,
I
get
a
daily
report
on
what
vertical
conveyances
are
out.
What
are
are
how
long
they've
been
out?
Why
they're
out,
when
we
project
that
for
them
to
come
back
in
the
reality
for
most
of
our
Riders
as
they
go
through
the
system?
AA
The
the
part
of
our
challenge
is
that
some
of
the
assets
that
the
worst
functioning
unfortunately
are
the
oldest.
They
are
past
their
useful
life,
and
so
therefore
they
go
out
of
repair
very
frequently.
Sometimes
I
would
say
that
there
are
some
that
go
out
of
service
almost
every
other
day
from
someone
jumping
on
them.
We
have
children
that
jump
on
them,
sometimes
the
circuit
that
goes
out
sometimes
to
power
surge.
So
we
have,
we
do
have
a
plan
over
the
next
five
to
seven
years
to
replace
those
assets.
AA
It's
part
of
our
long-term
budget
long
run
range
financial
plan.
To
do
that,
we
also
have
some
other
methods
we're
looking
at
to
make
sure
we
have
enough
staff
to
go
out
there.
Our
contractors
are
in
short
supply.
This
is
one
of
those
labor
very
specialized
labor
fields
that
we're
looking
to
increase
the
training
and
apprenticeship
to
get
more
people
into
it,
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
when
something
does
go
down
that
we
can
be
there
very
very
quickly
and
get
it
fixed.
AA
AA
We
have
to
get
on
top
of
this,
and
that
is
my
one
of
my
major
goals
this
year.
So
I,
thank
you
for
for
asking
about
that.
It
is
not
something
that
that
goes
unnoticed
and
our
team
is
working
very
hard
to
address
it
and
to
get
on
ahead
of
these
issues
that
we've
inherited
regarding
the
Sound
Transit
Express
frequencies.
AA
There
were
some
very
specific
plans
about
what
is
supposed
to
happen
to
St
Express
as
a
light
rail
line
to
come
online,
and
so
there's
questions
about
what
flexibility
we
have
as
an
agency
to
be
able
to
maintain
or
shift
what
those
plans
are,
and
so
with
that
Spirit
of
starting
with
yes,
I'm
still
asking
the
team
to
look
at.
Where
do
we
really
need
to
shift
or
not
part
of
the
conversation
we
had
before
about
returning
ridership
and
about
that
comprehensive
mode?
AA
What
we're
seeing
especially
down
in
the
Federal
Way
area
is
that
sound
Sounder
and
Link
and
Sound
Transit
Express
St
Express.
They
serve
different
markets,
different
modes
and
different
needs.
So,
while
we're
supposed
to
take
that
service
away
when
link
starts
up,
I
really
would
like
us
to
explore
whether
or
not
we
have
to
or
whether
we
can
keep
part
of
it,
whether
we
can
afford
to
keep
part
of
it.
What
that
looks
like
so
I
do
not
have
a
specific
answer
for
you
now
about
what
we
will
be
doing.
AA
I
know
the
plan
is
to
stop
those
Services
when
link
comes
online,
but
I'd
really
like
to
to
take
some
time
and
explore.
If
that's
the
right
decision
for
us,
whether
we're
required
to
do
it
by
law
or
by
policy
and
whether
or
not
we
should
address
those
so
I,
don't
have
a
specific
answer
for
you
now,
because
I
want
to
explore
it
more
I.
Do
think
that
there's
complementary
service
that
we
should
look
at
before
we
just
decide
the
next
one.
AA
You
asked
about
the
stride
battery
brt
I'm,
going
to
ask
Bernard
to
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
as
far
as
I'm
aware
the
plan
for
the
all-electric
brt,
the
articulated
buses,
as
well
as
the
double
deckers,
will
not
change
operations
that
the
what
it
would
do
is.
It
will
require
some
infrastructure
upgrades
at
some
of
our
stations
to
allow
for
charging
rapid
charging
when
we
get
to
stations
so
that
we
can
maintain
those
vehicles
in
service
for
the
length
that
they
have
to
go.
AA
But
besides
that
it
should
not
change
our
actual
operation
plan
or
model
or
service
did
I.
Get
that
right.
Awesome.
The
last
one
was
on
the
60
design.
Milestone.
There
are
some
parts
of
the
brt
service
that
are
under
construction.
The
60
percent
I
believe
is
specifically
associated
with
the
part
that's
going
on
522
sr522
and
that
we
have
ongoing
public
meetings
to
address
some
of
the
concerns
from
the
community
about
those
60
designs.
I
believe
there's
a
public
meeting
this
week
or
is
it
next
week.
AE
AA
AD
AA
C
AF
Members
on
yeah
I'm
excited
as
a
regular
560
writer
to
the
airport,
actually
having
brt
I'm
excited
about
what
you
said
about
hyper
local
place
making,
because
you
know
in
Bel
Red
we
have
several
stations,
that's
also
our
art
district
and
so
I'm.
Imagining
when
we
talk
about
activating
the
station,
what
it
might
look
like
related
to
you
know,
Arts
and
programming
and
activities
so
I'm
excited
about
that.
AF
I
echo
my
colleague
about
the
escalators
and
elevators
so
I
know
you
talked
about
some
of
the
older
ones
past
their
useful
life,
but
certainly
the
ones
in
the
starter
line
are
are
new.
So
hopefully
we
were
able
to
adjust
the
dial
on
the
those
systems
of
vertical
conveyance
so
that
we
hopefully
have
ones
that
are
longer
duration
and
less
maintenance.
AF
For
that,
the
couple
of
questions
that
I
have
I'm
gonna
intersperson
here
so
I
appreciate
my
colleague
talking
about
the
vertical
conveyance
I
thought
earlier.
There
was
some
discussion
about
FTA
approval
and
timing.
So
I
wasn't
sure
about
that
and
then
related
to
the
the
brt.
AF
So
I
did
want
to
understand
a
bit
more
about
that
and
and
then
you
talked
about
the
final
decision
in
the
fall
for
the
starter
line.
So
does
that
mean
that
we
won't
actually
know
whether
it's
a
it's
a
green
light
or
not
until
sometime
in
the
fall
and
when
I
think
about
fall
that
potentially
is
November
or
October
November
December
for
a
spring
opening?
Is
that
right?
Because
it
seems
like
there's
not
a
lot
of
time
from
the
time
we
we
say
it's
a
go
for
all
these
pieces
to
work
so
I.
AA
Sure
so
I
wrote
them
down
as
I
went
through.
So
the
first
one
was
about
the
the
comments
before
we
had
comments
about
FTA
approval
of
the
starter
line,
and
we
have
been.
We
have
we're
fully
engaged
with
the
build
America
Bureau
because
they
provide
the
Tiffany
loans
as
well
as
FDA,
because
they
have
certain
safety
security
oversight
approvals
just
in
general
and
at
the
further
along
we
go
in
the
conversation
I've
had
with
them.
Personally
is
that,
yes,
we
have
to
make
sure
that
construction
is
complete.
AA
AA
However,
at
this
point
other
than
some
of
the
technicalities,
such
as
a
title
VI
analysis,
because
this
service
plan
is
different
from
what
we
projected
in
our
record
of
decision
I.
Don't
we
don't
necessarily
foresee
at
this
point
that
there
is
going
to
be
any
major
FTA
objections
so
long
as
we
follow
our
recovery
plans,
do
the
title
VI
analysis
and
continue
with
all
those
safety
oversight
and
security
compliance
boxes?
AA
That
I
believe
that
they
are
right
now
in
line
with
us,
so
they're
they're,
watching
our
risk
assessments
and
our
our
risk
management
as
well,
and
that's
what
they're
going
to
be
basically
saying
if
we
don't
meet
our
safety
approvals,
our
safety
oversight?
If
we
don't
do
our
title,
6
analysis,
that's
when
we're
going
to
get
the
you're
not
ready
going
back
to
kind
of
that
kind
of
falls
back
to
the
last
question,
which
is
about
the
green
light
in
the
fall
time
frame.
AA
John
is
behind
me
and
so
he's
going
to
probably
cringe
when
I
say
this,
but
I
have
put
considerable
pressure
on
the
team
to
look
at
that
integrated,
comprehensive,
critical
past
schedule,
with
all
the
different
risk
factors
and
to
keep
me
updated
on
float
in
the
schedule
and
how
they're
progressing
and
it
looks
like
we're
still
on
track
to
kind
of
meet
an
early
fall.
I
don't
want
to
over
promise.
But
we
are
not
looking
at
November
December.
AA
AF
I,
don't
want
to
over
promise,
so
John
and
I
actually
have
worked
together
in
the
past,
so
I
have
every
confidence
that
with
him
at
the
helm
and
really
looking
at
that
critical
path,
I
just
wanted
to
get
a
better
understanding,
because
a
fall
can
be
many
months.
So
getting
a
better
understanding
of
that
timing.
So.
AA
AA
The
other
item
that
you
asked
about
I
have
less
information
on
than
everything
else,
and
that's
about
the
the
starter
phasing
for
the
the
first
part
of
the
XT
ride,
as
it
comes
in
making
sure
that
it's
integrated
with
the
other
openings
with
King
County
Metro
Bernard
can
certainly
speak
to
that.
AE
AA
AA
AA
E
Julia's
first
time,
where
formerly
means
I
just
want
to
say,
welcome
to
the
community,
I'm
sure
you've
heard
that
many
times
I'm
sure
the
whole
region
has
been
hopefully
very
welcoming
and
Open
Arms
and
I
love
your
attitude,
but
I
know
my
colleagues
have
said
it,
but
I
just
love
your
yes.
First,
it's
just
very
refreshing,
and
we
certainly
appreciate
that,
and
you
know
you
and
your
son
are
welcome
to
shop
in
Bellevue
anytime,
at
all.
E
Our
economic
development
team
will
give
you
a
list
of
shops
if,
if
needed,
but
all
in
favor
and
I,
really
appreciate
the
comments
and
questions
by
my
colleagues,
a
great
discussion,
obviously
I
too
very
much
in
favor
of
the
Eastlink
starter
line.
I
think
that's
very
important
as
part
of
that
I
was
curious.
E
If
there's
going
to
be
because
of
that
board
approval
to
continue
to
evaluate
that
East
link
storyline,
will
there
be
any
public
engagement
on
this
at
all
and
then
just
how
should
the
city
continue
to
be
involved?
E
E
But
that's
the
perfect
segue
into
my
question,
so
you
know
I've
read
that
and
I'm
asking
councilman
release
question
about
about.
You
know
Public
Safety,
but
you
know,
and
I've
also
recently
read
soundtrack's
increasing
safety.
I
know
that's
a
priority
for
you
on
your
existing
transit
system,
both
for
Riders
and
The
Operators.
Clearly
just
as
important
and
as
we
prepare
for
this
Ace
link
operation,
the
city
recognizes
that
safety
is
not
just
a
sound
transit.
It's
a
it's
a
us
thing.
E
It's
a
so
there's
a
shared
responsibility
there
and
certainly
there's
been
numerous
reports
from
coming
from
New
York
and
Chicago
and
I
think
in
the
times
Wall
Street
Journal,
showing
that
ridership
has
not
gone
back
from
those
pre-pandemic
levels
and
the
number
one
issue
is
safety.
So
I'd
like
to
know
what
else
can
we
do
as
a
city
to
partner
with
you
to
ensure
that
we
do
everything
that
we
can
possibly
do
to
make
Riders
feel
comfortable
and
don't
make
that
an
excuse
for
not
wanting
to
jump
on
light
rail
yeah.
AA
So
you're
absolutely
right
that
some
of
the
issues
that
are
facing
the
the
transit
across
the
country
are
are
similar,
how
people
feel
about
the
cleanliness
of
the
system,
how
they
feel
about
the
safety
of
the
system,
and
some
of
those
are
real
and
some
are
perceived.
It
doesn't
matter.
We
have
to
address
them
equally,
either
way.
AA
So
we
are
increasing
our
security
presence.
We're
also
looking
at
some
other
ways
to
increase
the
Safety
and
Security
of
the
feel.
Sometimes
just
a
clean
environment
can
feel
safer,
putting
trash
cans
in
our
tunnels.
That's
a
priority.
We'll
have
those
very
very
soon
we
already
put
them
on
the
mezzanines
in
the
downtown
tunnel,
but
there's
going
to
be
some
more
and
the
rest
of
them.
Those
are
coming.
AA
Procurement
is,
as
with
many
things,
delaying
us
because
the
supply
chain
issues,
but
they
should
be
here
any
day
that
will
help
having
our
partners
with
King
County
Metro,
who
are
under
our
intercooper
mental
agreement
to
help
keep
the
stations
clean,
they're,
having
staffing
issues
as
well,
so
helping
to
support
them
and
how
they're
hiring
to
increase
the
cleaning.
That's
really
a
feeling
of
safety
when
you're
in
an
environment
that
smells
bad,
it
doesn't
feel
as
safe.
The
extra
security
presence
that
we
have
on
board.
AA
You'll
start
our
writers
will
start
seeing
and
our
our
operators
will
start
seeing
a
higher
precedence
of
security
on
the
trains
to
remove
people.
But
your
question
was
more
about
what
can
our
partners
do
to
support
us
in
the
effort,
and
part
of
that
is
helping
us
to
develop
relationships?
We
have
one
with
King
County,
but
with
all
of
our
cities
and
counties.
When
someone
is
removed
from
the
train,
where
do
they
go
when
someone's
having
a
crisis
on
the
train?
How
do
we
get
them?
AA
The
proper
support,
so
we're
not
just
transfer
them
out
of
our
system
onto
the
streets,
but
helping
moving
them
off
of
a
train
into
some
place
that
can
support
them
and
that
that
goes
a
little
bit
beyond
what
we
normally
do.
We
have
a
partnership
where
we'll
have
resources
available
for
security
to
be
able
to
call
Crisis,
Intervention
or
social
services
to
help
people
get
housed
or
get
the
support
they
need
when
they
leave
that's.
AA
The
kind
of
support
we
need
is
to
make
sure
that
we're
just
not
moving
the
the
issue
or
the
concern
of
people
who
are
in
crisis
from
one
place
to
another,
but
there
were
we're
moving
them
in
a
chain
of
help,
and
so
my
job
will
be
to
help
get
them
off
of
the
trains
and
off
of
our
stations
to
a
place
where
they
can
get
help
and
then
I'm
asking
for
our
partners
to
help
them
get
the
help.
When
they're
there.
AA
AA
AA
A
AA
Thank
you,
I
appreciate
the
time
and
also
the
grace
for
my
very
long
answers.
Thank
you.
It
was
wonderful.
A
T
So
our
next
study
session
this
evening
is
an
informational
update
on
implementation
of
the
community
crisis
assistant
team.
You
know
also
known
as
ccat
as
part
of
the
2324
budget.
Council
authorized
full
funding
for
the
CCAP
program
and
since
January
staff
has
been
taking
steps
towards
implementation
tonight's
study
session,
you
will
hear
a
status
update
on
the
implementation
of
the
CCAP
program.
Again
this.
This
is
an
informational
update
for
the
council.
T
No
direction
is
being
sought
at
this
time
by
the
council,
so
joining
us
at
the
table
from
a
left
to
right
at
Chief,
Hagen,
head
of
the
fire
department,
Chief
Wendell,
Shirley,
head
to
the
police
department
and
to
his
right
is,
is
a
assistant
chief,
Andrew
popchock,
but
then
I'm
going
to
turn
over
to
you,
Chief
Hagen.
AG
We
are
pleased
to
be
here
this
evening
with
an
informational
briefing
and
update
on
the
progress
of
the
ccat
program
and
continued
Community
engagement.
Since
we
were
last
with
you
on
November
14th
receiving
guidance
on
this
new
program,
I'm
going
to
immediately
move
to
Chief
Shirley.
Who
is
going
to
talk
to
us
about
the
ongoing
engagement
efforts,
Chief
good.
Y
We
immediately
reached
out
to
them,
sat
down
with
them
to
listen,
to
learn
and
see
where
we
could
incorporate
shared
ideas
to
really
make
this
program.
The
best
for
this
community
and
I
think
we
started
that
process
with
a
number
of
different
organizations
and
and
will
continue
to
do
so.
As
you
can
see,
we
have
ongoing
plan
meetings
scheduled
for
the
future,
with
a
number
of
different
organizations
again
to
really
talk
to
them,
about
what
ccat
is
figure
out,
some
of
their
thoughts
and
ideas
and
how
we
can
incorporate
them
into
the
ccat
program.
Y
One
that
I
would
like
to
highlight
is
March
14th.
We
have
a
pretty
much
kind
of
like
a
town
hall
community
meeting
where
we
will
inform
and
we
will
obviously
ask
people
for
feedback
and
information,
so
this
will
be
ongoing,
but
we
made
that
promise
to
you
that
we
would
start
out
that
way
and-
and
we
have
did
exactly
that
in
terms
of
implementation-
updates-
I'll
turn
it
over
the
fire
chief
and
he
can
start
with
the
fire
department.
AG
Thanks
chief,
we
hosted
a
job
fair
here
in
this
building
on
January
31st
for
mhps,
and
we
had
five
hiring
agencies
join
us
in
that
job.
Fair.
The
turnout
for
prospective
employees
was
not
amazing,
but
it
was
encouraging.
AG
AG
We're
really
excited
about
moving
this
program
forward
and
getting
a
supervisor
into
the
into
our
department
so
that
we
can
begin
hiring
the
rest
of
the
staff
and
our
MHP
positions,
and
there
are
five
of
those
are
currently
open
and
we're
conducting
rolling
interviews
again
with
some
measure
of
promise
for
getting
those
folks
actually
on
staff
and
the
training
regimen
that
the
new
employees
will
undergo
is
in
development
right
now,
Chief.
Y
Same
for
the
police
department,
the
the
sergeant
and
the
five
officers
that
will
be
hiring
for
seek
at
will
be
internal
hires,
so
we've
already
posted
the
jobs
and
have
received
interest
from
a
sergeant
and
officer.
So
shortly
soon.
Thereafter,
we'll
be
doing
internal
interviews
and,
and
one
of
the
suggestions
we
took
from
one
of
the
groups
we
met
with,
was
to
put
a
person
with
lived
experience
on
the
interview
panel,
which
we
are
planning
to
do.
Y
So
that's
just
a
small
way
of
us
incorporating
some
thoughts
on
ideas
as
we
move
along
the
way,
as
it
relates
to
data
collection,
I'm,
going
to
turn
it
over
to
assistant
chief
Papa,
shot.
AH
AH
That's
compared
to
Denver
star,
that's
out
of
Colorado,
so
what
we've
started
doing
is
looking
at
other
programs
and
what
all
those
other
programs,
what
data
they're
collecting
and
then
our
goal
is
to
make
sure
that
the
data
that
we
are
collecting
is
comparable
to
the
data
that
they
have
so
that
we
can
compare
ourselves
so
that
we
can
compare
contrast,
identify
and
look
at
improvements
within
our
program,
because
the
peps
for
success
is.
Are
we
actually
seeing
comparable
rates
to
other
programs
that
are
doing
this
work
or
are
we
seeing
better
rates?
AH
AH
AG
AC
For
the
data
and
I
really
appreciate
that
you're
looking
to
make
it
comparable
with
other
programs
and
with
King
County
I
mean
it
really
sets
us
up
to
take
that
leader
that
Regional
approach
Beyond
just
the
programs
that
are
in
our
like
on
the
east
side,
for
example
as
well
so
I,
think
that
will
be
all
good
in
terms
of
helping
us
understand
where
there's
opportunity
and
I
guess.
AC
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Deputy
Demir,.
A
E
You
so
much
for
the
update,
really
appreciate
it.
I
just
had
a
couple
of
quick
questions
regarding
the
the
data
first
I
love,
the
idea
of
syncing
up
with
King
County
I.
Think
that's
really
great.
To
do
and
I
think
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
benefits
to
that
both
immediately
but
for
the
whole
region
as
well,
but
on
the
and
if
we
can
go
back
to
the
data
slide
or
every
the
data
collection
slide,
because
that
might
be
in
here
somewhere.
E
But
are
we
able
to
track
I
know
you're,
never
tracking
the
number
of
calls
and
how
many
client
referrals
Etc,
but
are
we
also
able
to
track?
You
know
for
lack
of
a
better
term?
I
guess
the
frequent
flyer
set
you
continually
have
contact
with
I.
Don't
want
that
or
I
guess
it'd
be
really
important
to
know.
You
know
if
you
if
it
shows
up
as
14
content,
is
that
14
individuals
or
is
it
seven
times
with
one
individual
and
then
seven
other
separate
individuals?
So
you
want
to
speak
to
that
cheers
in.
Y
Y
How
many
times
have
we
been
there
a
little
threat
assessment,
and
we
also
will
be
training
up
our
mental
health
workers
in
the
offices
to
really
add
in
some
detail
in
into
their
call
for
service
right,
so
that
we
can
everyone
can
have
a
better
understanding
of.
Did
the
person
respond
better
to
the
officer
or
the
mental
health
worker?
What
were
some
of
the
Dynamics
that
that
you
guys
experienced
there,
the
the
more
the
better
they
capture
that
information?
Y
AH
A
Members
on
yeah.
AF
Thank
you,
I
I
appreciate
getting
an
update
as
well
and
and
the
data
part
I
was
curious
about
a
couple
things
and
maybe
I
missed
the
launch
date
of
when
we're
anticipating
getting
this
fully
launched.
AF
AF
Would
that
be
kind
of
shared
training
so
that
we,
and
which
leads
me
to
because
we
have
the
same
9-1-1
dispatch
so
how
they
are
listening
for
the
cues
to
be
able
to
give
you
better
information
for
the
ccat
team
and
and
then
lastly,
how
the
988,
which
is
not
quite
the
same
as
9-1-1,
how
it
kind
of
fits
together
so
I
think
it's.
This
is
kind
of
the
as
you
roll
out
the
whole
system,
I
appreciate
all
of
the
Outreach
you're
going
to
do
so.
AH
So,
specifically,
the
training,
it's
both
internal
and
external
training.
We
both
have
to
do
training
between
the
officer
and
the
MHP
working
together,
because
there's
some
of
that
needed
training
for
them
to
do
that.
We've
also
pre-identified
a
list
of
trainings
that
we
think
will
be
beneficial
at
this
time,
but
that's
something
that
we're
always
as
we
have
these
conversations
with
the
community
is
something
we
go
back
and
go
hey.
AH
We
even
looked
at
that
or
the
things
we
haven't
looked
at
because,
again,
our
perspective
is
from
the
fire
department,
the
Police
Department
of
Mental
Health,
there's
community
members
that
can
give
us
input
about.
Have
you
considered
that
and
that's
part
of
that
adaptation
and
growth
of
the
program?
Is
that
we're
in
progress
with
what
things
we
want
to
pull
together
to
ensure
that
they
are
trained
upon,
but
I'm
sure
that
list
will
change
as
we
have
these
further
conversations.
AF
AG
You
council,
members
on
I
was
okay
with
just
skipping
past
that
but
I'm
happy
to
go
back
and
address
it.
We're
shooting
for
we're
shooting
for
this
summer
we're
finding
that
the
that
the
hiring
Market
is
a
little
tighter
than
we
hope
it
would
be.
AG
AG
As
far
as
the
training
I
would
just
add
that
it's
it's
a
matter
of
weeks,
not
hours
or
days,
and
it
is
in
partnership
with
police
and
it's
making
sure
that
we
give
these
new
employees
the
real
world
experiences
to
be
successful
in
these
encounters
and
while
I
have
the
mic.
I'll
just
jump
back
to
the
deputy
mayor's
question,
real,
quick
with
a
reminder
that
there's
the
responder
half
where
we
encounter
people
in
crisis
in
the
community
and
we
roll
those
people
into
our
casework
program
and
the
average
amount
of
time
we
have.
AG
AG
AH
AF
C
You
I'm
looking
at
a
data
collection,
so
you
are
comparing
of
cat
poker.
C-Cat
was
radar
and
star.
There
are
two
other
programs
right
and
how
many
cities
are
represented
in
those
three
programs
is
always
the
only
city,
that's
a
ccat,
or
are
we
doing
with
other
folks
together?
In
the
same,
if
project
yeah.
Y
But,
and
in
terms
of
a
c-cap
the
model,
the
core
response
model
with
law
enforcement
and
mental
health
workers,
that's
being
duplicated
across
the
country,
okay,
yeah
many
cities
are
doing
that
and
or
a
community
only.
C
Response
without
law
enforcement,
okay,
so
Mike
following
up
question,
that's
similar
to
the
reason
I'm
asking
is
I
assume
radar
has
has
other
cities
and
other
benefits
or
reason
why
they
do
this,
but
the
thing
they
track
now
right
the
thing
we
we
talk.
We
we
think
that
those
items
on
the
left
side
are
important
things.
We
need
to
know
right
so
that
we
can
be
a
better
Police
Department.
So
why
are
the
others
have
things
that
they
don't
check?
They
don't
do.
Is
there
any
reasons?
Are
we
looking
into
them?
C
Are
they
because
of
comparable
cities
or
not
incomparable
or
are
they
you
know?
Is
there
things
that
we
can
learn
that
we
actually
or
why
do
we
pick
those
that
other
programs
don't
look
into?
That's
all
reason:
how
is
it
not
just
because
we
want
to
do
them
all,
but
you
know
what
is
relevant
to
what
we
are
yeah.
AH
So
radar
actually
includes
Bothell,
Kenmore,
Kirkland,
Lake,
Forest,
Park
and
Shoreline.
So
it's
a
local
comparable
to
doing
this
like
work.
It
is
not
exactly
the
same.
The
what
ccat
is,
but
again
it's
one
of
those
programs.
That's
local
that
we
can
compare
ourselves
to
that
also
receives
funding
from
from
mid
Denver.
Star
is
a
a
is
a
program.
That's
come
multiple
times
in
research
as
well
as
conversations
with
the
community.
AH
We
are
going
to
be
comparing
ourselves
to
different
other
many
other
programs,
as
many
we
can
can
compare
ourselves
to
to
see
if
they're
doing
things
that
we
aren't
I
don't
have
an
answer
for
why
different
programs
collect
different
data
when
we
entered
it,
though,
we
had
specific
reasons
why
we
believe
this
community
would
want
to
see.
Reduced
use
of
force
would
want
to
see
reduce
arrest
because
that's
something
we
would
like
to
see.
AH
We
don't
want
to
have
to
use
force
on
any
Resident
when
it
doesn't
is
not
necessary,
and
even
if
it
is
necessary,
if
there's
a
way
to
avoid
it
to
de-escalate
the
situation
before
we
get
to
using
Force.
So
a
key
piece
of
why
we
would
want
that
data
in
ours
is
that
we
have
personal
interests
to
make
sure
that
it
happens
for
our
community.
I
can't
say
that
for
the
other
communities,
because
they
have
different
things
where
they
enter
it,
so
I
don't
know
what
their
reasons
or
justifications
for
collecting
that
data.
AH
But
I
know
that
is
something
important
for
the
city
of
Bellevue
and
it's
something
that,
as
we
go
to
the
other
programs,
I'm
sure
there's
data
they're
collecting
that
we
haven't
thought
of.
So
again.
It's
that
commitment
for
were
working
together
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
best
program
out
there.
That's
collecting
the
data.
C
Okay,
thank
you
last
question:
getting
data
is
important,
but
also
in
use.
Use
of
the
data
is
also
important
right,
so
I
assume
that
we
we
look
into
it.
We
compare
with
other
cities
when
you
have,
for
example,
reduction
in
rest.
Theoretically,
that's
good,
because
we
don't
need
to
arrest
everybody,
but
at
the
same
time
you
could
be
the
opposite.
We're
not
arresting.
Anybody
is
running
around
rampant,
that's
not
good
either.
So
we
need
to
know
right,
I
mean,
depending
on
what
we
need
to
understand
right.
T
C
Situation
when
you
have
reduction
in
your
wrist,
so
I
assume.
That's
you
compare
with
other
cities.
Why
don't
they
use
this
because
it's
a
reason
or
another
reason
so
I
think
it's
a
process
of
learning
more
about
the
knowledge.
How
do
we
apply
the
data?
What
do
we
use
it?
How
do
you
use
it?
Not
just
look
at
the
data
itself
right.
AH
And
the
data
does
not
exist
in
a
vacuum
either,
so
this
would
have
to
be
compared
to
other
race
arrest
data
and
as
well
as
city-wide
crime
data,
because,
like
you
pointed
out,
if
we're
seeing
a
reduction
in
rest,
what
we're
seeing
skyrocketing
crime
there
may
be
a
concern
right.
So
it's
something
that
we
would
never
look
at
in
a
vacuum.
It
would
be
part
of
a
a
holistic
city-wide
approach
to
this.
Thank
you.
AG
AG
They
began
as
a
co-responder
program,
exactly
as
we
are
doing
now
with
a
stated
goal
of
moving
towards
a
community
response
model,
so
we've
invested
in
partnership
with
them,
we're
taking
notes
from
them,
and
we
would
hope
that
we
can
continue
that
partnership
as
part
of
our
commitment
that
we
heard
from
you
to
try
to
be
a
regional
leader
in
this
learn
from
our
neighbors
have
metrics
that
are
aligned
to
the
degree
possible
and
take
best
practices
from
other
parts
of
the
country
and
bring
them
back
to
Bellevue.
A
I
was
going
to
ask
you
a
question,
so
I
know
that
I'm
trying
to
think
of
What's
called
the
county
they're
talking
about
crisis
treatment,
centers
or
Crisis
Care
Centers
I
can't
remember
that
I
know
they're
going
to
put
four
out
there
with
another
one
for
Youth
and
I
know
that
we're
not
going
to
have
one
located
in
Bellevue,
specifically
but
one
on
the
east
side,
and
it
seems
like
that's
part
of
the
puzzle,
of
trying
to
manage
the
challenges
that
people
are
experiencing.
A
Certain
individuals
and
I
just
hope
that
we
are
measuring
somehow
the
trajectory
of
the
people
that
we
encounter
so
that
if
there
is
a
hole
in
the
system,
let's
say
there's
somebody
who
really
needs
extra
services
and
they're
not
getting
them
that
we
identify
that
and
that
we
come
back
to
us.
The
council
and
say:
hey
we're
missing
this
piece
of
the
puzzle
so
that
we
can
try
to
create
the
full
spectrum
of
services
right
here
on
the
east
side,
for
people
and
and
maybe
we
won't
have
a
hole,
and
that
would
be
awesome.
Y
A
Y
A
AG
Mayor
I
think
you're,
referring
to
a
CSC
crisis,
stabilization
centers,
and
that
is
a
regional
footprint.
We
will
have
access
to
those,
and
this
is
based
on
the
theory
of
no
no
wrong
door
and
sort
of
24
hours,
with
not
a
lot
of
questions
being
asked
and
that
time
allows
for
things
to
sort
out
and
perhaps
some
help
to
be
applied
so
we're.
Although
you're
right,
we
don't.
There
is
not
one
scheduled
to
be
located
in
the
city
of
Bellevue.
There
will
be
within
a
reasonable
Drive.
Yes,.
A
AB
Okay,
yeah
I
think
this
is
really
good
and
I
on
the.
What
we
were
just
talking
about
that's
to
try
to
deal
with
could
I
have
that
back
on.
Please,
oh.
D
AB
I,
don't
go
back
to
it
because
we
don't
have
resources
and
the
places
to
go
so
that
ties
into
this-
it's
not
specifically
for
this,
but
it's
it's
going
to
be
a
great
asset
from
that.
So
it's
good
yeah
I
wanted
one
to
comment
on.
This
is
I
really
like
having
all
these
things
lined
out
here
and
what
I
find
interesting
is
the
things
we're
looking
at.
Is
you
have
five
reduction
pieces
there,
which
is
interesting
because
we
never
talked
about
this,
at
least
at
this
level,
about
exactly
what
we're?
AB
You've
worked
on
so
it's
kind
of
new
to
a
certain
extent,
but
what's
going
to
be
interesting
to
see
and
I
like
the
goals
in
terms
of
reducing
use
of
force,
reducing
arrest,
reducing
jail
bookings,
the
other
question
is:
maybe
we
might
have
more
hospital
visits,
because
these
people
who
are
in
these
these
situations
may
need
to
go
somewhere,
but
those
that
is
really
good,
I
think
that's
going
to
really
help
us
get
a
handle
of
this
and
see
where
we
need
to
go
in
the
future,
and
you
know
keeping
up
and
learning
about
the
services
and
resources
that
provided
to
clients.
AB
I
think
is
going
to
be
very
important
too,
but
so
I
I
really
like
that
focus
on
on
these
pieces
and
have
it
lined
out
like
this?
What
I
think
will
be
helpful
because
a
lot
of
times
when
we
have
these
programs
not
just
a
lot
of
different
things,
you
know
we
go,
and
we
do
these
things.
Then,
maybe
a
year
before
we
come
back
to
counseling
and
we'd
like
to
I
would
like
to
have
keep
up.
AB
You
know
a
more
frequent
basis
in
terms
of
what
we're
doing,
because
I
think
we're
going
to
show
really
great.
You
know
results
on
this,
but
I
really
like
the
having
these
reduction
in
these
factors,
an
important
piece
that
we're
looking
at
and
we're
holding
ourselves
accountable
for
in
a
sense
of
and
and
actually
it's
because
that's
a
goal,
the
more
people
we
can
can
reduce
these
things
and
and
not
have
to
arrest
people
or
get
them
soon
to
Jail
the
better
off.
We
are
all
over.
AB
So
I
I'm
excited
about
this
I'm.
Looking
forward
to
this
going
forward
and,
as
the
chief
said,
police
chief,
we're
we're
looking
to
go
forward
and
we're
looking
to
learn
and
we're.
Looking
to
you
know
we're
flexible
in
terms
of
what
can
we
do
better
and
we'd
be
looking
at
that
so
appreciate
very
much
and
it's
exciting
to
have
this
come
back
so
quickly.
So
thank
you.
A
AC
I
wasn't
prepared
for
that,
but,
thank
you
surprised,
surprise
all
right.
So
this
is
the
proposal
for
the
apprenticeship
utilization.
So
I
introduced
this
about
a
year.
It's
a
year
and
a
half
ago,
I
guess
to
council
and
then
up
to
this
point,
we've
I
guess
in
the
budget
funded
a
full-time
position
for
managing
this
program.
The
intent
is
to
provide
opportunities
for
community
members
to
have
access
to
jobs.
AC
You
know
that
maybe
they
may
choose
an
alternate
path:
everybody
doesn't
want
to
go
to
college,
doesn't
have
the
ability,
and
so
this
provides
an
benefit
to
our
community,
to
provide
access
to
jobs
and
also
for
contractors
provides
an
opportunity
to
for
more
labor
in
the
market.
That
is
currently
pretty
experience
and
challenges
like
much
of
the
other
companies,
so
I
think
there's
a
win-win
here,
and
so
that
I'll
hand
it
over
I
guess
great.
T
Okay,
thank
you,
councilman
Barksdale.
Just
by
way
background
for
this,
you
know
creating
this
apprenticeship
was
one
of
the
council's
priorities
as
well.
I
wanted
to
mention
that
and
for
I
wanted
to
let
the
council
audience
and
the
viewing
public
know
that
tonight
we
had
intended
to
see
Council
direction
to
bring
back
the
draft
apprenticeship
program
which
was
included
in
your
packet
this
evening
for
adoption
at
a
future
council
meeting.
T
But
you
know,
given
the
extensive
amount
of
feedback
that
we
received
over
the
weekend
in
this
today,
we've
received,
we
decided
to
take
a
pause
and
conduct
more
public
Outreach
before
we
bring
this
back
to
council
for
actual
Direction.
So
for
tonight,
staff
will
provide
counsel
with
background
information
on
the
draft
apprenticeship
program
model
that
we
are
planning
to
present
to
and
seek
feedback
from
the
various
Community
stakeholders.
T
Once
the
stakeholder
feedback
is
collected,
staff
will
return
to
council
at
a
future
meeting
with
the
policy
issues
and
options
to
consider
in
creating
the
City
Public
Works
apprenticeship
program.
So
with
that
on
joining
us
at
the
table,
this
evening
is
Eric.
Mcdaniel
assistant
director
in
the
finance
and
asset
management
department
to
his
right
is
Karen
Foo
assistant,
City
attorney.
Now
that
I'm
just
going
to
turn
over
to
you.
AI
I
shared
this
slide
a
couple
of
weeks
ago.
This
is
to
just
show
that
we
have
four
different
code
amendments
related
to
procurement
that
we're
looking
to
bring
over
the
first
half
of
the
year.
Two
weeks
ago
on
the
13th,
we
brought
the
thresholds
discussion.
That
ordinance
was
on
your
consent
calendar
tonight.
Thank
you
for
approving
that
tonight.
AI
We're
going
to
start
off
by
talking
a
little
bit
about
the
primary
components
of
what
would
need
to
be
included
in
city
code
to
implement
the
program.
There
are
three
primary
pieces.
The
first
is
the
dollar
value
of
the
contracts
to
which
the
program
would
apply.
The
second
is
the
apprenticeship
utilization
ratio,
which
is
the
amount
of
hours
that
relative
to
the
total
labor
hours.
That
would
need
to
be
satisfied
by
apprentices
and
also
what
waiver
and
reduction
criteria
would
apply
to
that,
and
then
the
third
is
enforcement
to
ensure
compliance
with
the
program.
AI
We'll
discuss
each
of
these
components
as
we
go
through
the
presentation,
I'm
touching
on
some
of
council
member
bark
sales
points.
Creation
of
an
apprenticeship
program
is
intended
to
incentivize
the
creation
of
a
strong
Workforce
of
skilled
trades
people
that
will
benefit
not
only
the
city
of
Bellevue,
but
our
local
and
Regional
economy
well
into
the
future.
For
those
who
join
the
workforce
as
an
apprentice,
it
would
mean
that
they
could
gain
valuable
education
and
experience
in
their
trade
while
earning
wages
that
will
allow
them
to
support
their
family.
AI
As
such,
it's
important
that
we
base
our
program
on
best
practices
informed
by
the
work
of
other
agencies
that
have
created
similar
programs,
while
also
being
Nimble
and
learning
as
we
go,
and
we're
looking
forward
to
learning
more
through
our
state
culture
engagement
to
help
build
a
fair
and
balanced
program,
providing
a
little
bit
of
context
on
February
14th
of
last
year.
We
Council
discussed
this
part
of
that
discussion
was
a
request
for
some
research
by
staff
we've.
AI
So
we
reviewed
the
these
the
policies
that
have
been
implemented
by
other
agencies
across
the
state.
These
agencies
included
the
state
itself,
King
and
Snohomish
Counties
the
ports
of
Seattle
and
Everett
Sound
Transit
Seattle,
Tacoma,
Everett,
Vancouver,
Spokane,
Kent,
Burien,
Shoreline
and
several
other
cities,
while
the
high-level
policies
that
these
agencies
do
have
some
variation,
there
are
there.
They
have
very
broad
agreement
in
terms
of
where
they
set
the
contract
price
threshold,
which
is
at
1
million
the
apprenticeship
utilization
ratio
at
15
and
in
creating
a
framework
for
waivers
and
reductions
of
the
utilization
rate.
AI
There
is
more
variation
across
these
programs
when
you
start
looking
at
enforcement
and
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
in
a
moment.
One
other
item
that
I
wanted
to
address
on
this
slide
is
we're.
Looking
at
the
other
agencies
is
that
each
of
these
agencies
defined
an
apprentice
as
an
apprentice
that
is
enrolled
in
a
state,
approved
and
recognized
apprenticeship
program.
AI
The
state
approved
apprenticeship
programs
include
both
Union
and
non-union
or
open
shop.
Apprenticeship,
programs
and
non-union
employers
can
also
utilize
a
union
apprenticeship
programs
to
train
their
employees.
They
are
not
required
to
sign
a
union
agreement
to
do
so.
So,
as
a
result,
open
shop
contractors
would
remain
eligible
to
bid
on
projects
with
apprenticeship
utilization
requirements
and
they
would
have
Avenues
to
satisfy
those
requirements
and
now
to
provide
additional
information
on
the
program.
Elements
I'll
hand
things
over
to
Karen.
AJ
I'll
provide
excuse
me
I'll,
provide
you
with
an
overview
of
key
elements
of
the
draft
apprenticeship
model,
as
set
out
in
the
proposed
ordinance
for
some
background.
The
proposed
ordinance
would
amend
the
city
code
at
chapter
4.28,
the
procurement
section
and
a
new
section
would
be
added
to
setting
out
the
apprenticeship
utilization
requirements
for
certain
city
of
Bellevue
Public
Works
contracts.
This
code
Amendment
would
give
policy
Direction
on
the
key
elements
of
the
program
to
be
implemented
and
cam.
AJ
Elements
of
the
proposed
ordinance
include
that
the
requirements
would
apply
to
City
of
Bellevue
Public
Works
contracts,
with
an
estimated
cost
of
1
million
dollars
or
more
in
the
proposed
ordinance.
Public
Works
is
defined
based
upon
the
definition
provided
in
state
law,
which
means
all
works,
construction,
alteration,
repair
or
Improvement
other
than
ordinary
maintenance
that
is
executed
at
the
cost
to
the
city
and
Public
Works
projects,
typically
utilize
skilled
trades
and
can
facilitate
apprenticeship
opportunities.
AJ
The
proposed
ordinance
would
require
that
on
those
city
of
Bellevue
Public
Work
projects
of
a
million
dollars
or
more
at
least
15
percent
of
the
labor
hours
worked
on
those
projects
be
performed
by
apprentices
approved
through
the
training
Council.
As
previously
discussed,
our
research
indicated
that
this
threshold
was
the
most
common
threshold
utilized
in
our
region
and
utilizing
a
similar
threshold
will
provide
some
Regional
consistency.
AJ
Under
the
draft
model,
the
fam
director
would
have
the
authority
to
waive
or
reduce
the
apprenticeship
utilization
requirements
based
upon
one
of
seven
enumerated
reasons:
first,
if
the
requirement
conflicts
with
state
or
federal
funding
conditions
or
the
conditions
of
any
other
Grant
or
funding
program,
a
second,
if
there's
an
insufficient
number
of
apprentices
that
are
available
to
meet
the
requirement.
Third,
if
the
project
has
a
disproportionately
high
ratio
of
equipment
and
material
cost
relative
to
the
anticipated
labor
hours,
which
does
not
make
it
feasible
to
meet
the
required
level
of
apprenticeship
utilization.
AJ
Six,
if
there
is
an
emergency
or
threatened
emergency,
such
as
a
threat
to
Public,
Health
welfare
safety
and
finally,
for
other
reasons
deemed
appropriate
by
the
fam
director
that
are
consistent
with
the
purpose
and
goals
of
this
section.
These
waiver
and
reduction
criteria
were
drawn
from
similar
criteria
provided
in
the
state
and
other
Municipal
apprenticeship
programs.
AJ
If
a
contractor
meets
at
least
one
of
these
criteria,
they
may
be
qualified
for
a
waiver
of
production
reduction
in
their
requirements,
which
may
prevent
them
from
facing
enforcement
consequences.
This
is
a
way
to
try
to
find
some
balance
between
flexibility
for
contractors,
while
still
being
able
to
enforce
the
requirements
of
the
program
to
achieve
those
goals
and
I'll
discuss
enforcement
with
the
next
slide
to
enforce
the
requirements
of
this
program.
AJ
The
draft
model
proposes
that
contractors
that
fail
to
comply
with
The
Apprentice
utilization
requirements
after
any
waivers
or
reductions,
they
will
not
be
considered
a
responsible
bidder
for
two
years.
This
means
that
those
contractors
would
not
be
eligible
to
be
awarded
any
Public
Works
contracts
from
the
city
of
Bellevue
for
a
two-year
period
after
non-compliance.
AJ
This
enforcement
method,
which
is
also
commonly
referred
to
as
debarment,
was
one
of
several
enforcement
mechanisms
that
we
observed
in
our
regional
research.
Ultimately,
we
selected
this
two-year
Department
method
in
the
proposed
ordinance
because
it
provides
a
strong
financial
incentive
for
contractors
to
comply,
so
they
don't
lose
the
opportunity
to
do
business
with
the
city
of
Bellevue
for
a
consequential
period
of
time.
AJ
It
also
eliminates
the
possibility
of
potentially
buying
out
apprenticeship
requirements
by
choosing
to
pay
a
finer
penalty
instead
of
coming
to
compliance
and
it's
a
simpler
means
to
enforce
these
requirements
than
breach
of
contract
type
remedies
which
may
require
litigation
and
resources
to
ensure
compliance
and
again
these
enforcement
options.
This
this
enforcement
consequence
would
only
apply
to
contractors
that
don't
meet
the
requirements
or
are
unable
to
qualify
for
a
waiver
or
a
sufficient
reduction
of
their
requirements
based
upon
one
of
the
seven
possible
criterias.
AJ
The
administration
of
this
program
would
fall
upon
the
director
of
fam
and
those
responsibilities
would
include
developing
procedures
to
implement
and
enforce
the
requirements,
establishing
contract,
specifications,
implementation
of
system
of
monitoring
and
other
responsibilities.
That
Ira
will
speak
to
further
in
just
a
moment,
and
the
effective
date
of
this
proposed
ordinance
would
be
September
1st
2023.
So
it
would
apply
to
Public
Works
contracts
awarded
by
the
city
of
Bellevue
after
that
date
that
are
estimated
to
cost
a
million
dollars
or
more
with
that
alternate
over
back
to
Ira.
AI
Thank
you,
so
I
thought
it'd
be
useful
to
provide
a
little
bit
more
of
the
detail
around
how
we're
thinking
about
implementing
the
administration
of
the
program.
So
we've
been
speaking
about
the
high-level
policy
elements
that
would
go
into
code,
but
then
there
would
be
companion,
administrative
policy
that
would
implement
this,
and
this
is
still
very
much
a
work
in
progress
as
we're
gaining
understanding.
But
I
wanted
to
talk
through
this
because
I
think
it
gives
important
context.
AI
That
information
would
then
feed
into
the
bid
advertisement,
so
it
would
be
included
there
when
a
contractor
submits
a
bid
for
that
they
would
be
required
to
include
a
form
acknowledging
that
their
awareness
of
these
requirements,
so
this
is
something
that
they
would
go
in
eyes
wide
open
to
in
that
process.
After
the
contract
is
awarded
and
the
the
project
moves
into
construction,
we
would
monitor
the
the
contract.
AI
We
would
look
at
their
their
payroll
certifications
and
we
would
have
an
ongoing
conversation
with
them
about
how
things
are
going,
whether
or
not
they're
hitting
their
targets,
if
they're
not
hitting
their
targets.
Understanding.
Why
detailing
for
them?
What
the
best
efforts
would
look
like
for
them
to
come
back
into
compliance,
so
that
if
they
are
working
to
find
apprentices
and
they're
not
able
to
do
the
circumstances
outside
of
their
control,
then
they
would
qualify
for
for
a
waiver.
AI
AI
All
right,
so
next
steps
we
would
engage
in
stakeholder
Outreach
to
vet
the
elements
in
the
draft
program
we're
building
out
a
list
of
those
stakeholders,
and
we
want
to
ensure
that
we're
providing
a
fair
opportunity
for
those
who
want
to
be
heard
we'd
be
happy
to
receive
your
suggestions
for
who
should
be
included
in
that.
AI
As
we've
worked
to
stand
up
the
program,
we
then
return
to
Future
council
meeting
or
meetings,
as
the
case
may
be,
to
discuss
our
findings
and
ensure
councils
on
board
with
any
revisions
before
bringing
back
an
ordinance
for
adoption
related
to
the
administrative
procedures.
If
the
program
is
adopted,
we
would
provide
communication
and
Outreach
to
the
contractor
Community
to
for
the
inform
them
of
the
coming
change.
AI
We'd
continue
to
coordinate
across
the
internal
departments
that
perform
Public
Works
projects
to
ensure
we
have
a
clear
understanding
of
roles
and
responsibilities,
as
the
program
may
have
impacts
on
staff
in
those
departments,
we
would
also
further
develop
our
administrative
policies
and
procedures.
The
bid,
specifications
documents,
the
contract
language
and
our
document
templates
and
once
complete,
those
projects
would
need
to
be
provided
to
washout
for
their
review
and
approval.
This
is
a
big
part
of
why
we
would
want
several
months
after
adoption
to
be
able
to
get
ready
for
the
start
of
the
program.
AI
We'd
also
be
working
on
developing
our
reporting
standards
to
make
sure
that
we're
providing
information
to
council
about
how
the
program
is
performing
and
whether
or
not
we're
achieving
the
goals
of
the
program
and
where
we
may
need
to
take
actions
to
adjust,
and
in
that
vein,
we're
we're
committed
to
learning
and
adapting
as
we
go.
We
want
to
ensure
that
the
program
that
we
Implement
is
flexible,
fair
and
balanced.
AI
I
mentioned
earlier
that
we're
going
to
be
bringing
you
our
work
on
a
procurement,
diversity
and
inclusion
plan,
and
we
really
want
to
make
sure
that
these
programs
work
well
together
and
support
each
other
to
achieve
council's
objectives.
There
are
examples
of
other
entities
out
there
where
that's
happening
both
you
know
they
have
an
apprenticeship
program
and
a
wimby
program
that
are
both
being
successful
and
we're
committed
to
achieving
similar
outcomes
for
Bellevue
and
our
constituents.
A
Great,
thank
you
both,
you
know,
I'm
just
going
to
comment
first
and
tell
you
how
supportive
I
am
of
this
the
whole.
The
ultimate
goal
is
high
quality
work
and
the
best
way
to
get
high
quality
work
is
to
have
a
highly
skilled
Workforce,
and
this
does
a
lot
to
guarantee
that
we
are
replenishing
our
Workforce,
which
is
really
depleted
right
now
with
highly
skilled
workers,
so
Deputy
Mayor
I'm,
going
to
let
you,
oh.
Let
me
finish.
Sorry
a
little
more
I've
submitted
comments
to
you
both
over
the
weekend
on
information.
A
I
wanted
to
consider
that
had
to
do
with
enforcements
and
also
with
what
projects
this
applies
to,
and
so,
when
you
bring
it
back
to
us,
I'd
appreciate
getting
information
on
the
questions.
I
asked
and
I
think
it'll
be
great
to
do
a
little
more
public
Outreach
so
that
we
can
answer
everybody's
questions.
We've
heard
a
lot
from
some
people,
but
we've
heard
a
lot
of
support
as
well:
okay,
Deputy
Mayor.
Thank
you
mayor.
E
Ira
and
Karen.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
great
presentation
and
the
update
this
evening.
I
also
really
want
to
thank
staff.
Brad
you
and
I
mean
to
to
me.
E
Perhaps
it
isn't
such
a
policy
per
se,
it's
that
we
haven't
communicated,
or
they
haven't
understood
that
we're
on
the
same
page
and
that
some
of
these
things
are
in
there
so
to
sit
back,
and
you
know
for
for
a
couple
of
weeks
or
three
weeks
as
much
as
I
know
that
my
colleague
councilman
wants
to
get
this
over
the
finish
line
and
I
totally
understand
that.
But
I
really
think.
As
the
mayor
said,
this
will
really
really
prove
beneficial
for
the
entire
city
that
we
take.
E
A
slight
pause
here,
you
know,
as
we've
heard,
from
the
Northwest
minority
Builders
Alliance,
the
Associated
Builders
of
contractors,
ages,
AGC,
Etc,
there's
still
some
confusion
and
I
think
it
is
more
confusion
than
anything
else.
Yes,
there
might
be
a
few
policy
items
on
there,
but
again
Brad
I
just
want
to
thank
you
and
your
staff
for
for
doing
that,
and,
of
course,
Nathan.
Thank
you
so
much
for
all
the
work
you've
done
on
this
to
date.
E
Now,
having
said
that,
I
just
wanted
to
bring
up
a
few
items
just
so
you
understand
and
I'm
sure
you're
familiar
with
this.
But
what
we're
hearing
timing,
or
at
least
what
I'm
hearing
time
and
time
again
seem
to
be
some
of
the
same
issues.
So
one
do
we
delay
this
the
full
implementation
due
to
covid
and
do
due
to
some
of
the
ramifications
of
that
or
allow
the
industry
to
catch
up
a
little
bit
again,
I'm
not
advocating
for
that.
E
Don't
know
I've
heard
anywhere
from
60
to
80
days
and
I'm,
not
the
expert
in
terms
of
how
long
the
project
should
should
run
for,
but
it
seems
and
I
don't
know
if
that
if
the
days
is
a
substitution
for
the
minimal
project
amount,
I
think
it
is,
but
I
would
really
like
to
know
from
staff's
perspective,
which
is
the
better
way
to
calculate
that
by
a
dollar
amount
or
by
the
number
of
days,
because
I
certainly
understand
that
they
went
through
The
Apprentice
program
and
it's
a
very
short
program.
E
E
I
I
think
you
know
there
would
be
some
Grace
there,
I'm
sure
and
I'd
love
to
see
some
type
of,
and
you
mentioned
I
believe
iron.
Some
of
your
comments
there
that
if
they
were
falling
behind
or
not
living
up
to
the
intent
of
this,
that
we
could
have
some
training
or
some
orientation
or
helping
them
get
back
up
to
see
where
they
need
to
be,
but
one
strike
does
feel
a
bit
a
bit
harsh
or
a
bit
punitive.
E
As
long
as
that,
good
intent
is
there,
you
know
and
again
I
think
you
know
we
look
to
the
discretion
of
staff
to
to
see
that,
but
it
does.
It
does
seem
a
bit
a
bit
harsh.
So
that's
what
I'm
hearing
but
I'm
so
glad
I've
been
in
favor
of
this
from
day.
E
AF
You
you
know
I
think
we
all
want
the
same
thing,
which
is
a
apprenticeship
programs.
I
mean
they
are
just,
as
one
of
the
speakers
said,
right
opportunities
changes,
people's
lives,
so
I
appreciate
hearing
from
Andrea,
Mariana
and
Billy.
You
know
we
have
great
pre-apprenticeship
programs
like
a
new
and
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
as
part
of
the
next
steps
we're
going
to
hopefully
move
rapidly
to
have
the
the
engagement
with
the
stakeholders.
So
we
can
work
through
any
stickiness
in
here.
AF
I
do
have
a
couple
of
thoughts
about,
and-
and
maybe
these
are
questions
that
you
can-
you
can
answer
when
you
come
back.
I
agree
with
wanting
to
understand
what
the
data
looks
like
in
the
last.
You
know
three
to
five
years,
how
many
contracts
over
a
million
dollars
the
one
around
submitting
documents
and
reports
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that,
since
the
re,
the
documentation
is
required
with
L
and
I
already
that
we're
not
duplicating
efforts,
because
I
just
assume
we'd
be
as
as
efficient
and
lean
as
possible
around
around
data.
AF
If
it's
already,
there
I
think
you
had
a
typo
that
you're
actually
trying
to
get
approval,
not
from
washdot
but
from
the
Washington
State
apprenticeship
and
training
Council,
because
I
don't
think
what
we're
doing
is
a
washed
out
approval
piece.
So
maybe,
if
you
could
just
check
on
that,
I
guess
the
other
part.
AF
It's
not
as
clear
to
me
when
you
were
talking
about
the
contract
process
is,
are
there
times
where
we
would
actually
reduce
the
requirement
before
we
bid,
so
that
everyone's
bidding
the
same
thing
or
is
the
reduction
in
the
waiver
during
the
life
of
the
contract,
where
we
see
that
the
contractors
having
some
hiccups
and
then
I
I
would
say
that.
Lastly,
for
me,
I
appreciate
having
the
list
of
factors.
AF
I
would
strongly
encourage
us
not
to
go
right
to
that
enforcement
of
the
one
strike
and
you're
debarred
for
two
years,
because
what
I'm,
here?
What
that
might
mean?
Is
you
have
a
one
million
dollar
contract
that
you
didn't
meet
these
factors
and
then
for
two
years
you
can't
even
bid
on
a
hundred
thousand
dollar
contract
with
the
city.
So
I
don't
think
that
makes
sense.
AF
But
what
I
could
see
is
where,
as
part
of
a
condition
of
their
bid,
that
they
need
to
submit
a
apprenticeship
utilization
plan
that
we
can
validate,
that
they
actually
do
have
a
plan
for
how
they're
going
to
ensure
that
they're
bringing
apprentices
to
the
job.
So
you
know,
perhaps
part
of
the
best
practice-
is
actually
getting
that
plan
from
them
as
part
of
pre-con.
Just
so,
we
know
what
they're
doing,
but
super
excited
about.
It.
AF
I
think
these
are
nuances
that
we
can
work
through
and
make
sure
that
we're
working
with
these
other
agencies,
as
you
said,
so
that
we're
adopting
best
practices
as
much
as
possible.
I
think
enforcement
should
be
about
how
we
get
people
to
do
what
we
need
to
do
with
bringing
apprentices
and
not
debarring,
because
sometimes
we
already
have
troubles
getting
contractors
to
bid
our
work.
So
I
would
be
concerned
about
precluding
people
from
bidding
thanks.
AD
I
really
agree
with
a
lot
of
what
has
been
said
by
Deputy
Mayor
new
in
house
and
council
members
on
I'm
really
excited
about
the
idea
of
having
an
apprenticeship
program.
I
think
this
is
a
really
good
way
to
build
the
trades.
We
don't
have
enough
people
going
into
them.
We
also
have
lower,
particularly
among
men,
participation
in
college
education.
AD
Having
trades
is
a
really
good
way
to
create
and
grow
family
wage
jobs
in
Bellevue
and
the
whole
area,
so
I'm,
very
supportive
of
the
concept
and
I'm
very
supportive
of
most
of
the
details.
But
let
me
give
you
some
feedback
and
then
I
have
a
couple
of
questions
which,
hopefully
should
be
pretty
easy.
First
I
think
that
we
should
consider
a
phased
in
approach,
whether
it's
be
the
participation
rate
of
15,
starting
at
a
lower
rate
or
whether
it's
starting
at
a
higher
contract
value.
AD
I
think
that
those
are
a
couple
things
we
should
consider,
and
we
should
specifically
seek
stakeholder
feedback
on
that.
Additionally,
I
think
that
we
should
consider
more
than
just
the
one
million
dollar
contract
value.
I
know
you
have
a
waiver
for
labor
value.
For
example,
if
we
have
a
million
dollar
contract
that
is
850
000
of
materials,
it
probably
doesn't
make
a
whole
lot
of
sense
to
put
that
one
into
an
apprenticeship
utilization
program.
AD
So
I
would
be
supportive
of
having
a
labor
value
screening
as
well.
Added
to
that.
You
know
over
a
million
dollars
in
labor
of
five
hundred
thousand
three
hundred
thousand
whatever
the
right
number
is
what
or
maybe
it's
working
days,
I
think
that
an
additional
screen
would
be
helpful
because
the
chances
are
that
adding
this
additional
requirement
in
the
bid
package
and
as
an
additional
administrative
and
oversight
and
labor
component
of
the
contract.
AD
Our
contracts
are
going
to
be
a
little
bit
higher
and
if
we
can
still
keep
them
as
low
as
possible
when
the
that
bang
for
the
buck
for
getting
partnership
utilization,
isn't
that
big
I
think
we
should
do
it
because
I
support
having
it
cost
a
little
more
to
help
apprentices
get
trained.
But
if
it's
not
actually
achieving
that
outcome.
So
that's
why
I
think
another
level
of
screening
I
also
support
looking
at
exemptions
in
the
Dei
lens,
whether
it's
small
or
minority,
and
women
on
businesses.
AD
I
think
that
we
don't
want
to
preclude
those
smaller
contractors
who
might
do
a
great
job
from
bidding,
because
they
don't
have
the
extra
administrative
person
to
run
a
program
internally
for
them.
The
waiver
I
really
support
a
lot
of
those
waivers.
I
think
we
need
we
might
want
to
bake
some
of
that
into
the
like
I
said
to
the
phasing
labor
value,
screening
exemptions
as
well.
The
stakeholder
process,
I
absolutely
support
us
going
out
again
definitely
Council.
AD
The
Council
Office
should
give
you
the
emails
of
everyone
that
wrote
to
us
on
this,
as
well
as
everyone
that
has
commented
to
staff
to
the
coming
down
to
the
council,
whether
remotely
or
in
person
Etc
and
reach
out
to
those,
because
we've
had
a
lot
of
input
on
this
now
hope.
Oh
and
then
I
will
join
my
voice
about
the
penalty.
I
think
we
should
look
at
a
good
faith.
Standard
debarment's
easy
as
far
as
to
administer
I
totally
get
it,
and
it's
appealing
from
that
perspective.
AD
But
maybe
we
need
to
have
something
a
little
bit
more
nuanced
than
you
make
a
mistake
and
you're
out
for
two
years
on
all
contracts.
I
agree
with
council
members
on
on
that,
so
maybe
having
a
good
faith
standard
and
maybe
a
not
a
first
strike
and
you're
out
kind
of
one
where,
if
they
make
mistakes
repeatedly,
then
we
could
we
should
debar
them
or
not.
Let
them
bid
on
the
larger
contracts.
AD
Questions
on
the
effective
date.
You
had
a
proposal
of
September
1st
and
you
said
it
would
apply
to
contracts
awarded
after
that
date,
but
I
assume,
because
we
need
to
create
all
the
materials
for
the
invitation
to
bid
and
the
bid
package.
It
would
be
contracts
that
are
put
out
on
the
market
after
that
date
am
I
right.
AD
Okay,
because
that
makes
a
lot
of
sense
and
I
think
that,
having
a
form
for
them
to
fill
out
that
way,
they
they
know
what
they
have
to
do,
they
can
build
it
into
their
bid
and
including
that
form
and
the
details
will
is,
will
be
required
for
them
to
both
be
responsive
and
responsible
and
and
if
we're
on
the
fence,
we
don't
want
to
say
we
know
this
contract
is
going
to
be
over
the
million
dollars.
If
we
think
it's
close,
we
don't
know
what
the
engineer's
estimate
we
might
say.
AD
If
your
bid
will
be
over.
You
know,
whatever
the
screening
mechanism
is,
then
you
will
need
to
include
this
form,
although
I'm
not
telling
you
how
to
do
your
job,
but
the
question
was
about
whether
they
had
to
do
it
every
time
or
not,
and
we
might
have
some
that
are
close
and
then
on.
The
the
other
question
I
have
is
on
the
state,
approved
and
recognized
apprenticeship
program.
AD
I
appreciated
the
presentation
on
that
that
there's
lots
of
different
programs.
How
many
because
I
heard
early
on
in
this
process
that
it
would
be
just
a
pipeline
for
one
or
two
apprenticeship
programs,
and
that's
the
only
way
to
train
people
you?
You
said
that
there
are
some
that
are
union
shops,
some
that
are
non-union.
If
they're
a
union
training
program,
the
non-union
shops
can
use
them.
AD
How
what's
just
I'm,
not
asking
for
an
exact
number
but
order
of
magnitude
how
many
different
types
of
state
approved
and
recognized
apprenticeship
programs?
Are
there.
AI
AI
Would
be
I
think
both
training
programs
and
registered
training
agents?
There
are
two
Pathways
okay.
AD
A
AD
L
C
You
great
program,
I
think
we
all
can
agree
that
you
know
apprentice
and
the
worker.
You
know
the
people
look
with
the
hens,
this
country,
our
economy,
is
built
on
people
who
make
things
happen,
not
just
software
Engineers
talking.
It
doesn't
make
anything
so
yeah.
Ultimately,
it's
got
to
be
done
by
individuals.
You
know
people
may
not
just
want
to
go
to
college.
You
know
learn
about
physics,
so
whatever
quantum
mechanics
so
I
really
support
this
program.
It's
wonderful
one
thing
I
make
a
short,
is
I
will
release
supporters.
C
We
need
to
get
the
feedback
talk
to
stakeholders
because
I
always
said
that
davo
is
in
detail
and
we've
seen
a
lot
of
questions
being
asked.
You
know
what
about
this.
What
about
that?
How
do
they
do
it?
How
the
affect
them
and
if
they
don't
support
it,
if
they
don't
know
about
it,
if
we
don't
know
that
they
are
interested,
they
are
concerned
and
we
can
build
to
a
solicit.
The
support
this
program
is
going
to
be.
You
know
we
wish
it
was
going
to
work
right,
iffy,
so
I
think
we
need
to.
C
We
need
to
especially
people.
We
see,
we
think
that
really
can
participate,
can
benefit
us
and
benefit
themselves.
I
think
it
could
be
self-evident
if
we
designed
a
program
that
fits
you
know
what
they
are
looking
for.
You
know
they
will
come
to
us
so
I.
We
support
that.
So
that's
all
I
can
say
good
luck
to
you
and
talk
to
lots
of
folks
get
the
support.
Get
behind
us
you'll
be
a
great
program.
Thank
you.
AB
Yeah,
thank
you.
It's
a
good
presentation.
You
know
I'm
glad
we're
stepping
back
on
this
I
do
think
that
it's
one
of
those
things
when
you
get
anything
like
this.
AB
It
always
takes
a
lot
of
talking
back
and
forth,
and
we
don't
know
this
you're
not
doing
this
or
what
about
doing
this,
and
you
find
out
that
everybody
actually
knows
all
that
stuff
to
a
certain
extent,
but
they
want
to
get
it
out
and
and
and
it's
good
because
it
could
be
improved,
I
think
what
we're
going
to
find
out
that
it
is
actually
the
way
it's
set
out
is
very,
very
good,
and
if
we
start
tinkering
around
and
moving
little
inch
here
and
much
to
there,
we
don't
want
to
end
up
with
a
too
much
compromised
program
which
can
happen
and
I
think
there's
some
good
things
to
look
at
on
this
a
little
concerned
about
being
too
how
you
hit
that
soft
spot.
AB
You
know,
or
the
best
spot
in
how
to
how
do
you
make
make
a
decision
that
somebody
is
is
not
meeting
the
contract
and
I've
done
work
it's
been
eons
ago,
but
with
a
big
Law
Firm
was
in
DC,
and
we
did
stuff
kind
of
like
this
in
terms
of
this
and
even
with
other
kinds
of
of
contracts
and
things
you're
always
going
to
have
a
certain
number
of
people
or
certain
groups
who
kind
of
don't
quite
come
up
to
spot
to
par,
and
they
want
to
have
an
excuse
on
it
and
again
it's
looking
at
what
is
the
good
sweet
spot
in
terms
of
you
know
a
penalty,
so
to
speak,
for
not
living
up
to
the
contract.
AB
I
mean
somebody
doesn't
live
up
to
the
contract
and
it's
pretty
egregious
then
just
saying.
Well,
you
know,
try
harder!
It's
not
going
to
help.
The
question
is,
is
you
know
a
two-year
a
year
off?
Is
that
maybe
it
needs
to
be
more
graded
in
a
sense,
but
again
we
we
could
overload
this
thing
with
something
that
too
many.
AB
Well,
if
you
don't
do
this,
you
can
do
this
and
then
it
becomes
very
difficult
and
people
may
not
even
want
to
do
it
if
it's
so
difficult,
so
I
think
it's
I
think
you've
got
a
really
good
program.
It's
a
matter
of
listening
and
then
coming
back,
and
we
probably
have
some
more
comments
on
some
good
comments
been
made
here,
but
I
just
I'm
just
concerned
that
we
don't
get
a
little
bit
like.
AB
Oh
we've
got
to
do
something
better
and
change
this
around,
because
I
think
it's
it's
a
good
program
and
it's
nothing's
ever
perfect
and
we
can
learn
as
we
go.
We
can
always
modify
things
if
it
comes
up
and
if
people
you
know
so
don't
get
all
I'm
saying
is
don't
get
too
down
the
line
of
well.
We
got
to
revise
this
whole
thing
and
change
it
up.
I
think
it's
a
great
program.
We
can
make
it
work,
and
so
thanks
for
for
the
work
you've
done
so
far.
Thank.
AC
I'll
keep
it
brief.
I
appreciate
all
the
work
staff
that
you've
put
into
fleshing
out
more
of
the
details
and
bringing
this
back
and
I
think
the
additional
process
makes
sense.
I
would
just
ask
if
we
could,
as
I
think
council
members
I
mentioned
expeditiously
so
especially
so
that
you
know
there's
a
there's,
an
opportunity
here
for
our
community
to
benefit.
AC
You
know
from
upcoming
bid
cycles
and
that
would
be
I
think
very
impactful
for
the
community
I,
as
I
mentioned
when
I
started,
the
introduction
I
think
this
is
a
win-win
opportunity
and
I'm
always
inspired
by
the
stories
of
how
providing
an
alternative.
You
know
approach
to
earning
you
know
and
and
gaining
a
skill
and
being
able
to
support
your
family
and
not
having
to
work
several
jobs,
I'm
always
inspired
by
those
stories
because
cost
of
living
is
going
up,
and
you
know
we.
AC
We
talk
about
a
lot
about
affordable
housing
and
I,
a
huge
support
of
making
sure
that
housing
is
Affordable
and
the
other
way
that
we
can
help.
People
is
to
help
them
earn
more
and
when
we
decrease
cost
of
living
and
help
them
earn
more.
We're
I
think
we're
making
a
really
big
impact,
so
I
guess
my
question
would
be:
when
do
you
anticipate
that
this
might
come
back
to
us
and
would
it
be
possible
maybe
to
have
a
draft
ordinance
come
back
with
your
recommendation
at
that
time?.
AI
Yeah
I
think
we
will
have
to
pull
together
the
the
list,
which
is
getting
lengthy
and
start
making
calls
and
and
get
through
that
I
could
see
that
getting
through
that
process
within
a
few
weeks
to
a
month
as
council
member
is
on
pointed
to
and
then
getting
back
on
the
calendar.
So
I
will
work
with
Charmaine
on
on
scheduling
and
trying
to
understand
the
the
best
way
to
move
this
forward
and
get
it
back
expeditiously.
I.
A
A
A
E
Thank
you
for
the
excellent
written
document
by
the
way,
just
I
just
wanted
to
ask
a
question
regarding
House
Bill
1110,
just
because
we
took
the
unusual
step
of
voting
other
on
that
and
I
know
that
you,
along
with
our
lobbyists,
are
working
hard
on
this
bill.
E
So
I
was
wondering
if
it
had
a
little
more
color
to
your
update
in
your
written
update,
just
in
terms
of
which
amendments
have
we
made
progress
on
which
are
we
still
interested
in
trying
to
you
know
either
change
or
have
removed
or
I
just
wonder
if
you
can
go
just
a
little
bit
more
in
depth
in
terms
of
how
our
progress
is
coming
along
with
that,
even
though
I
know
this
is
still
very
fluid
still
and
and
there's
a
lot
of
moving
parts
to
it,
but
just
love
it
if
you
could
add
a
little
more
color,
absolutely.
Z
Deputy
Mayor
happy
today,
so
House
Bill
1110
by
representative
Jessica
Bateman,
is
continuing
to
move
through
the
process.
It
was
most
recently
amended
on
Friday
in-house
Appropriations.
So
now
it
sits
in
the
house
rules
committee
awaiting
floor
action
on
the
floor
of
the
Full
House.
We
understand
as
of
this
morning
or
earlier
today
that
the
house
leadership
is
having
a
conversation
to
say.
Z
Okay,
there
are-
and
some
of
you
have
noticed
through
some
of
our
updates
here
there
are
a
number
of
different
bills
that
are
moving
forward
on
the
same
topics:
land
use,
zoning
adus,
Tod
parking
and
there
are
multiple
all
amending
the
same
rcw's
in
different
directions,
and
so
I
think
leadership
is
talking
amongst
each
other,
right
now
to
say
hey
which
of
the
vehicles,
because
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
improving
and
investing
in
working
the
vehicles
that
will
be
the
ones
to
move
forward.
So
I,
don't
think
we'll
see.
Z
House,
Bill,
1110
move
in
day
or
two,
the
next
cutoff
period
for
House
of
origin,
for
both
the
house
and
the
Senate
is
next
Wednesday,
the
8th
at
five
o'clock.
So
all
the
bills
that
got
out
of
committees
and
that's
a
lot
of
bills-
they
are
all
in
competition
right
now
to
both
move
out
of
rules
to
the
floor
and
then
receive
consideration
on
the
floor,
and
so
we
will
have
a
lot
fewer
bills.
Z
We
think
1110
will
get
considered
on
the
house
floor
and
right
now,
we're
working
with
our
delegation
members
and
the
proponents
on
our
outstanding
concerns.
A
number
of
the
things
that
the
council
gave
his
direction
to
weigh
in
on
to
try
to
seek
Improvement
in
the
bill
have
been
improved
and
let
me
I've
got
our
letter
in
front
of
here.
There
was
an
amendment
I
know
made
in
House
Appropriations
that
gave
us
the
flexibility
as
local
governments
to
choose
to
permit
six
of
eight
different
missing
middle
middle
housing
types.
Z
Z
Okay
in
a
single
family
neighborhood
that
is
not
near
those
types
of
services
in
transit,
then
maybe
it
is
really
up
to
four-
is
what
we
want
to
do,
and
maybe
it
you
know,
looks
like
this,
because
every
lot
is
different,
but
in
lots
that
are
really
Transit
adjacent.
It
gives
us
some
flexibility,
so
that
was
an
improvement
that
was
made
in
house
preparations,
I
Believe
by
representative
sen
of
our
41st
District
delegation,
and
we
really
appreciate
that
they've
much
hemmed
in
and
made
more
Focus
the
transit
definition
and
its
original
form.
Z
It
included
all
fixed
route.
Bus
transit
that
came
I
think
as
often
as
every
20
minutes
or
so
might
have
been.
15
I
can't
remember
well,
I
think
the
original
might
have
been
a
half
an
hour.
It
was
not
that
frequent
now
it
does
not
include
regular,
fixed
route
bus.
Now
it
includes
bus,
Rapid,
Transit
and
fixed
rail,
fixed
guideway
rail.
Z
That
again
was
an
improvement,
because
otherwise
the
map
that
would
go
up
to
six
per
lot
was
looking
like
a
lot
of
the
entire
geography
fee
of
Bellevue,
and
so
this
makes
it
more
focused
in
so
that
was
another
Improvement
that
was
made
that
aligns
with
our
one
of
our
other
top
concerns.
We
improved
the
parking
requirements
again
in
alignment
with
our
letter.
The
original
version
had
said:
I
want
to
say
there.
It
gets
into
quite
a
lot
of
detail,
but
it
was
One
requirement.
Z
You
know,
within
the
walk
shed
of
high
capacity
Transit
and
one
further
away,
those
were
originally
per
lot.
We
got
those
changed
to
be
per
unit,
so
that
really
changes
the
amount
of
flexibility
again
that
we
have
at
the
local
level
for
TR
for
parking
permanent
once
and
we
haven't
done
kind
of
a
GIS
layer
of
it
yet.
Z
It
was
kind
of
a
weird
kind
of
Frankenstein
way
that
it
got
into
this
version
of
the
bill,
so
we're
hoping
to
get
that
pulled
out
in
the
second
one
is
around
the
substantially
similar
area
of
the
bill.
I
think
that
was
in
section
10.
It
allows
Commerce
to
allow
cities
that
have
taken
substantially
similar
regulatory
action
by
the
effective
date
of
the
bill
to
not
have
to
follow
the
kind
of
let
the
details
of
House
Bill
1110,
but
to
have
substantially
complied
with
or
be
equivalent
to
the
outcomes.
Z
Z
We're
we're
not
getting
the
amount
of
traction
we
would
like,
because
it
wasn't
designed
for
us,
but
we
would
really
like
to
have
that
opportunity
to
use
that
pathway,
so
we're
pressing
we're
working
very,
very
diligently,
I'd,
say
on
a
daily
basis
with
our
delegation
and
the
proponents
to
try
to
get
traction
on
those
two
outstanding
areas
that
are
very
concerning,
but
the
bill
on
balance
is
getting
better
and
the
proponents
have
been
very
helpful
in
letting
having
a
very
open
door
with
us
to
continue
to
work
all
the
way
through,
and
our
members
of
the
41st
and
48th
who
are
on
Appropriations
have
been
really
helpful,
trying
to
get
our
feedback
because
they
they
know
the
bill,
has
continued
momentum
forward
and
want
it
to
be
as
good
as
it
can
be
before
it
passes.
Z
E
Was
a
lot
it
was
informative
as
well
and,
as
you
know,
we're
getting
a
lot
of
emails
and
calls
from
from
residents
and
I'm
trying
to
understand
the
impact
of
their
neighborhoods
and
their
communities.
So
appreciate
that.
Thank
you.
Absolutely.
Okay,.
C
I
have
just
one
question:
I'm
glad
I'm
happy
to
see
that
we're
making
progress
moving
forward.
I
kind
of
you
described
the
process
for
the
legislature.
You
know
they're
gonna
go
to
the
rules
and
how
and
the
floor,
and
then
they
approve
and
they're
going
to
wait
for
the
Senate
bill
and
send
the
bill
come
out
and
they
will
agree
on
whatever.
C
So
we
really
don't
know
what
they're
agreeing
to
that's,
what
makes
me
very
uncomfortable
this
one,
you
know
after
looking
at
all
planning,
so
many
builds
that
I
talk
about
the
same
thing.
You
know:
what's
the
end
result
coming
out,
we
don't
know
you
know
it's
like
people
say
about
politicians.
When
we
talk
things,
we
are
making
sausage
I,
don't
know
what
the
soy
should.
Look
like
the
question
now
is
my
question
is:
what
do
we
do
as
a
console?
What's
all
process,
we
had
voted
on.
C
You
know
a
couple
weeks
ago
and
is
that
the
end
of
it
just
whatever
come
out?
That's
going
to
be
it
or
do
we
have
a
opportunity
to
review
at
each
step
of
the
way
and
ultimately
the
most
important
is
the
final
you
know.
Do
we
have
a
say,
that's
the
question
you
know:
if
we
don't,
then
I
think
we
don't
know
what
progress
is
going
to
make
depending
on.
What's
going
to
happen,
you
know
what
sausage
is
going
to
come
up,
and
so
that's
my
ultimate
question
I
would
I
would
like
ultimately
I
appreciate.
C
I,
welcome
the
state
legislature.
Legislators,
our
Representatives
help
us
they
would
like
to
the
money
like
the
suggestions,
many
things
we
don't
know
think
about.
We
like
to
hear
that,
especially
without
it
isn't
jurisdictions,
and
it
needs
that
in
common
also,
you
know
there
are
things
that
we
need
to
help
to
help
help
us
to
get
done.
So
it's
all
good,
but
ultimately,
I
think
we
should
have
this
final
say
you
know,
do
we
agree
or
not
agree
and
what
don't
we
agree?
C
Z
C
C
C
Z
No,
yes,
absolutely.
We
will
really
have
a
a
significant
Milestone
when
we
get
to
next
Wednesday,
when
we
expect
all
the
legislation,
including
1110,
to
have
made
it
off
of
the
house
floor
or
not.
So
we
will
have
a
really
significant
sense
of
the
playing
field
and
what
is
left
and
what
shape
it's
in
once
we
get
to
that
date
and
so
you've
been
receiving
from
us
weekly
written
Updates.
Z
This
one
is
more
comprehensive
because
it
really
covers
the
the
full
landscape
instead
of
just
our
kind
of
top
priority
issues,
and
so
we
can.
You
know,
make
sure
that
we
give
you
a
really
robust
update
once
we
get
to
the
house
of
origin
cut
off.
It
really
is,
as
you
and
I
discussed
earlier,
it's
really
when
we
turn
that
corner
and
we
do
actually
get
to
the
halfway
point
in
terms
of
number
of
days
this
week.
Z
So
it's
kind
of
like
as
the
days
the
daylight
is
getting
longer
we're
also
getting
closer
to
the
end
of
sessions
where
we
know
what
we're
going
to
get,
which
is
what
you're
asking
that's
where
we
would
like
to
have
the
ability
to
engage
you
as
elected
officials
more
when
it
makes
sense
and
is
helpful
leverage
for
us
to
pick
up
the
phone
and
say
Hey.
You
know
this
bill
is
we
know
it's
a
work
in
progress.
It
would
be
really
meaningful
if
you
could
consider
making
this
change
to
make
this
bill
better.
Z
We
had
that
conversation
with
our
contract
lobbyists
this
morning
said:
hey,
look,
you
know,
we,
we
think
we've
got
on
this
bill.
Two
real
key
issues
left
boy,
we're
having
a
hard
time
getting
a
toll
hold
on
the
one,
please
think
really
hard
about
how
we
can
enlist
our
elected
officials
where
that
makes
sense,
so
we
will
be
working
with
you
to
really
engage
you
a
little
bit
more
directly
when
and
how
that
makes
more
sense.
Z
We
try
to
use
different
tactics
for
different
bills
at
different
stages
in
the
process,
but
ultimately
to
to
our
Chagrin
on
each
one
of
these
bills.
While
we
weigh
in
and
represent
bellevue's
interests
and
bellevue's
Community
impacts,
it
will
be
the
legislators,
of
course,
who
ultimately
decide
kind
of
what
direction
to
take
each
of
these
bills,
and
we
just
stay
on
top
of
them
every
little
step
of
the
way,
and
so
we've
taken
your
agenda.
Z
AB
Couple
of
things,
one
I
think
that
what
we're
talking
about
now
shows
the
the
wisdom
of
the
advice
and
what
we
took
a
vote
you
know
on
is
to
not
say
we
don't
like
this
or
we
like
the
bill,
but
we
want
to
be
in.
We
want
to
work
on
this
and
I
think
this
is
the
absolutely
the
best
way
to
go
on
this.
AB
Otherwise
we'd
just
be
sitting
here,
and
everybody
else
will
be
telling
us
what
what's
going
to
happen
so
we're
in
a
good
spot
on
that
and
you're
doing
a
great
job
and
and
we
we
voted
to
go
in
this
direction.
It
is
I.
Think
change
is
happening,
change
happens.
This
is
not
the
same
city,
it
was
you
know
10
years
ago,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
people
who
like
to
keep
their
bubble
and
be
back
then,
but
I
think
we're
making
changes
and
a
lot
of
it.
AB
We
keep
focusing
on
what
we
think
is
a
problem
at
this
level.
It's
a
local
level,
but
the
problem
with
the
local
level
is
more
and
more
people
are
moving
to
Bellevue.
They
want
to
live
in
Bellevue,
we're
attracting
we
like
that
and
they
have
to
have
a
place
to
live
and
people
who
can't
afford
the
housing
need
to
have
a
place
to
go.
AB
So
this
is
this
is
change
and
people
don't
like
change
and
they're
happy
when
they
have
a
little
space,
but
I
think
what
we're
doing
is
really
working
through
that
and
taking
those
different
interests
together
and
coming
up
and
trying
to
make
this
bill
the
best
they
can
be
because
I
think
the
sentiment
generally
in
the
public
is.
We
need
to
make
change
and
it's
going
to
happen
and
if
we
just
set
back
the
bill
would
go
through
and
we'd
have
to
do
whatever
they
said.
We
wouldn't
have
had
any
input
to
it.
AB
AB
When
you
come
back
to
the
end,
have
the
conversations
and-
and
you
know
make
a
decision-
are
we
going
to
stick
with
what
we
did
originally
or
we're
going
to
make
some
changes,
but
I
think
what
we
hope
we're
looking
at
is
not
just
in
a
in
a
focused
piece,
but
looking
at
the
bigger
pieces,
what
is
really
best
for
people
in
Bellevue
the
whole
Community,
not
just
certain
areas
in
certain
places
and
what
is
best
for
us
going
forward.
How
are
we
going
to?
AB
AF
So
we
can
shape
the
the
bill
to
remove
and
minimize
the
impacts
that
you
know
we
identified
in
the
letter
and
then
I
I
would
say
the
second
one
is,
you
know,
they're
going
to
be
pivoting
to
the
both
the
operating
and
the
capital
budget,
and
so
it'll
be
really
important
to
make
sure
that
we
are
advocating
for
the
budget
dollars
in
our
ass
and
make
sure
that
we
can.
We
can
be
represented
in
that
budget.
