A
Jesus
you
so
this
month
is
national
human
trafficking
prevention
month
and
our
police
have
done
a
long
time
very
good
job
in
the
fight
against
human
trafficking,
and
tonight,
we'll
like
to
have
deputy
mayor
read
the
proclamation.
G
Thank
you
mayor.
Just.
Let
me
pull
that
up
correctly,
whereas
human
trafficking
is
a
modern
day
form
of
slavery
and
found
in
the
united
states,
most
often
in
the
form
of
sexual
exploitation,
forced
labor,
involuntary
servitude
and
debt
bondage,
and
whereas
this
terrible
crime
which
denies
human
dignity
and
freedom
and
fuels
organized
crime
exists
in
our
nation
and
in
our
own
community.
H
G
A
Thank
you,
deputy
mayor,
so
council
members
on
made
me
aware
of
a
campaign
called
the.
You
are
not
alone
campaign,
which
I
know
our
city
manager
is
going
to
be
bringing
back
to
us
soon,
but
I
was
wondering
council
members
on
if
you
could
give
us
a
quick
synopsis
of
this
campaign.
A
I
Thank
you
mayor.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
bring
this
up.
So
there
is
a
national
initiative
created
by
the
business
ending
slavery
and
trafficking
called
the
not
alone
anti-human
trafficking
campaign,
and
the
goal
is
to
provide
victims
and
survivors
of
human
trafficking
ways
to
get
help
and
services.
I
So,
as
the
mayor
said,
I've
been
speaking
with
the
city
manager
about
ways
that
we
can
look
into
this
effort
because
it
isn't
just
the
month
of
january
that
we
need
to
be
vigilant
about
human
trafficking.
It's
a
year-round
endeavor
to
help
the
survivors
and
the
victims.
So
thank
you
very
much
and
I
look
forward
to
more
work
in
in
bellevue
related
to
this
topic.
Thank
you
great.
A
A
B
And
thank
you
mayor.
There
are
five
pre-registered
speakers
this
evening
for
oral
communications
and
with
that
I'll
call
the
first
speaker
which
is
leslie
geller.
Mr
geller,
can
you
hear
me
I
can
perfect.
Your
time
begins
now.
J
Good
evening,
mayor
deputy
mayor
and
council
members,
my
name
is
leslie
geller.
My
address
is
15102
southeast
43rd
street
in
eastgate.
As
you
can
probably
hear,
I
have
a
sore
throat
due
to
a
covenant
infection.
So
my
speaking
time
tonight
is
really
brief.
I
submitted
my
official
comments
in
an
email
to
the
council
this
afternoon.
K
K
K
bellevue
residents
continue
to
call
for
an
immediate
increase
in
funding
for
the
esp
starting
now
in
2022,
to
begin
to
build
the
necessary
city
staff
and
capacity
required
to
create
the
programs
needed
to
implement
the
plan.
We
request
the
city
immediately
fund
and
fill
three
additional
permanent
esp
staff
positions,
as
suggested
by
people
for
climate
action.
K
It
will
take
years
to
implement
carbon
reduction
actions.
The
entire
world
agrees.
We
must
invest
now.
Every
locality
and
jurisdiction
must
participate,
and
this
is
exactly
in
line
with
the
city's
stated
priorities
and
plans.
Meeting
our
2030
esp
goals
is
not
optional,
but
rather
a
moral
imperative.
L
L
Over
that
time,
I
have
watched
education
systems
work
to
become
more
relevant
to
kids,
lives,
designing
curriculum
and
coursework
to
help
students
understand
the
larger
world
and
encourage
them
to
develop
knowledge
and
skills
to
be
problem.
Solvers,
the
world
is
not
a
mystery
for
students
today.
They
know
about
issues
like
homelessness
and
globalization
and
migration,
and
they
know
about
climate
change.
L
They
are
really
well
informed
and
the
more
knowledgeable
youth
become
the
more
they
understand
the
details
of
how
we
got
here
once
they
seize
the
size
of
the
problem
and
the
heavy
lift
of
the
solutions.
They
understand
that
they're
looking
squarely
at
government
to
play
the
critical
role.
Another
topic,
they're,
actually
pretty
well
versed
in
inside
and
outside
the
classroom.
Kids
today
are
absorbing
climate
change,
understanding
the
warmth
of
oceans,
the
permanent
plastic
waste.
The
species
die
off
the
meaning
of
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
L
When
they
look
for
answers,
they
learn
that
bellevue,
as
a
member
of
k4c,
has
a
set
of
goals
to
cut
those
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
50
percent
by
2030.,
the
environmental
stewardship
initiative,
has
created
the
beginnings
of
a
plan
and
the
current
staff
has
done
remarkable
work
and
the
results
are
on
a
clear
data
dashboard.
L
But
the
goal
of
reducing
greenhouse
gas
emissions
50
by
2030
cannot
be
met
without
departmental
increases.
That
will
bring
our
staffing
capacity
in
line
with
comparable
cities
that
are
attempting
these
same
goals.
Anyone
paying
attention
can
see
that
the
stated
commendable
goal
is
not
achievable
without
more
staff.
L
B
M
M
M
M
M
B
B
A
Sorry
about
that,
okay,
is
there
a
motion
to
approve
the
consent
calendar?
I
move.
A
N
Thank
you
mayor
and
council
members.
The
public
hearing
scheduled
for
this
evening
is
related
to
releasing
public
utility
easements
located
at
10
300
northeast
8th
street,
which
has
been
declared
surplus
joining
us
this
evening,
is
eric
mcdaniel
assistant
director
in
the
finance
and
asset
management
management
department,
to
provide
a
brief
staffing
report.
Before
opening
up
the
public
hearing
following
the
public
hearing,
council
will
be
asked
to
take
up
consideration
of
the
proposed
ordinance
that
is
included
in
your
agenda
packet
this
evening.
With
that,
I'm
going
to
turn
over
to
ira
ira.
O
Thank
you,
mr
miyaki,
and
good
evening,
mayor
and
council
members.
Tonight's
staff
report
is
regarding
a
request
to
release
a
public
utility
easement
and
a
portion
of
a
second
public
utility
easement
that
are
both
located
at
1010300.
Northeast
8th
street
tonight's
public
hearing
is
to
allow
the
public
an
opportunity
to
to
comment
on
the
proposed
releases.
O
The
city
reserves
these
two
public
utility
easements
in
street
vacation
ordinances
that
were
passed
in
1958
the
areas
the
areas
are
shown
in
light
blue
for
the
full
release
and
that's
for
ordinance,
number
270
and
then
there's
the
darker
blue
area,
which
is
where
the
partial
release
for
these
listed
under
ordinance
number
277
is
located.
O
O
O
Their
third
point
was
related
to
a
pse
vault,
which
was
relocated
from
the
avenue
bellevue
property
onto
their
property,
which
lies
immediately
to
the
north
of
the
development.
Their
objection
states
that
the
vault's
location
impacts
their
future
development
plans,
and
I
believe
that
representatives
for
both
properties
are
signed
up
to
speak
during
the
hearing
tonight,
to
provide
additional
information.
O
So
with
that
I'll
turn.
It
back
to
council
to
hold
the
public
hearing
and
following
the
public
hearing,
staff
will
request
council
action
on
the
proposed
ordinance
authorizing
the
amendment
of
ordinances,
270
and
277
to
release
the
public
utility
easements
from
the
subject
property.
This
ends
our
staff
report
and
will
be
available
for
any
questions
you
may
have
following
the
public
hearing.
A
All
those
in
favor
say
I
I
any
opposed.
Okay
is
there,
anybody
signed
up
city
clerk.
B
Yes,
thank
you.
There
are
two
speakers
signed
up
this
evening
for
this
public
evening,
but
before
I
call
their
names,
I
want
to
indicate
to
everyone
that
there
were
two
written
comments
received
based
on
the
public
notice,
provided
those
written
comments
are
in
your
desk
packet
for
the
public
hearing
this
evening,
and
with
that
I
will
call
the
first
speaker,
which
is
victor
sung
and
mr
sung.
Can
you
hear
me.
I
P
P
The
previous,
I
guess,
slides
for
showing
the
easement
to
be
vacated
in
question
specifically
277
is
of
concern
to
the
property
owners
and
the
main
reason
being.
We
are
still
in
a
legal
dispute
with
the
property
neighbor,
who
is
fortress,
that
is
building
the
avenue
bellevue
buildings,
the
towers.
P
The
dispute
is
over
a
pse
vault
that
was
relocated
to
our
property,
potentially
affecting
our
future
development
for
that
lot,
and
we
are
currently
finding
solutions
to
resolve
this
by
relocating
the
vault,
but
by
vacating
the
easement,
the
utility
easement
that
prevents
us
from
doing
so.
So
we
would
like
to
object
to
this
vacating
the
easement
for
this
utility,
if
possible,.
B
B
Q
Thank
you
and
thank
you
for
spending
the
time
council
and
hearing
our
response.
That'll
be
very
brief.
Q
I've
not
heard
anything
from
the
owners
of
the
property
that
mr
sung
has
represented
since
february
of
2021,
and
there
is
no
current
and
has
not
been
a
legal
matter
between
the
two
parties
regarding
this
easement
in
that
entire
period
of
time.
Having
said
that,
this
is
an
issue
between
pse
and
the
property
owner.
There
are
many
locations
around
that
property,
including
to
the
north,
along
10th,
northeast
tents,
where
a
vault
could
be
relocated.
Q
We
attempted
to
work
with
mr
sung's
property
owner
in
relocation
of
the
vault,
but
it
is
a
matter
that
psc
needs
to
do.
I
want
to
correct
one
statement
that
was
a
made
letter
by
mr
tomlinson,
paragraph
3,
where
he
indicates
that
the
approvals
for
the
fortress
project
included
the
vault
located
in
a
garage
on
that
project.
That
is
simply
not
true.
Q
No
approval
had
the
fault
being
located
within
the
garage
facility,
and
indeed
there
was
a
discussion
at
one
point
in
time
in
late
2020,
where
a
fortress
had
a
discussion
with
pse
about
that
possibility
and
pse
indicated
that
it
would
not
consider
locating
the
vault
on
the
fortress
garage
because
of
access
and
public
safety
issues.
So
that
is
not
a
possibility.
Q
It
is
not
an
issue
that
really
should
impact
fortress
or
that
property
owner
and
as
a
practical
matter,
if
you're
aware,
the
fortress
project
is
now
several
stories
in
the
air
and
the
book
cannot
be
located
on
that
property
for
all
practical
purposes.
So
again,
this
is
an
issue
between
pse
property
owner.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
mr
brain,
and
this
reaches
the
end
of
our
pre-registered
list
for
the
public
hearing.
I
would
ask
at
this
time,
if
there
is
anyone
else
connected
to
this
meeting,
who
would
like
to
make
a
comment
during
this
public
hearing?
Please
use
the
raise
hand,
function
or
star
knight
if
you're
connected
with
a
phone.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
So
we
can
take
questions
and
comments
from
the
council.
Oh,
is
there
a
motion
to
close
the
public
hearing.
F
Thanks,
I
agree
with
your
proposal
mayor.
I
just
wanted
to
put
a
couple
questions
to
the
staff
that
they
can
bring
back
at
that
time.
So
I'd
like
to
know
more
information
about
the
vault
which
property
it
serves
if
one
two,
both
more
than
that,
whether
it
could
be
located
on
the
property
line
itself
if
it
serves
both
both
properties-
and
I
think
that's
probably
it
those
two
questions.
I
think
more
information
about-
that's
really
important.
So
thanks.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
not
seeing
any.
I
suggest
that
we
delay
this
until
we
get
more
information,
as
I
propose.
Can
I
get
a
head
nod
that
that's
okay
with
you
all
and
we'll
take
make
a
decision,
then
all
right.
Thank
you.
So
we'll
move
on
to
our
study
session
items,
mr
miyake,
would
you
like
to
introduce
those.
N
N
By
way
of
background,
the
city's
human
services
staff
publishes
the
human
services
needs
update
every
two
years.
This
particular
document
represents
an
extensive
data
gathering
process,
including
phone
and
online
surveys,
focus
groups
and
interviews
to
dine
to
identify
the
key
human
service
needs
of
the
bellevue
residents.
N
R
Thank
you,
city
manager,
miyake
good
evening,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor
noon,
house
and
members
of
the
city
council.
I'm
michael
shiasaki,
and
our
purpose
tonight
is
to
provide
the
council
with
an
overview
of
the
findings
in
the
2021-22
human
services
needs
update.
Tonight,
I'm
joined
by
tony
esparza,
one
of
our
assistant
directors,
christie,
stangland,
our
human
services
planner
and
ben
piper.
R
The
chair
of
the
human
services
commission
in
tonight's
report,
you'll
hear
detail
about
the
extensive
quantitative
and
qualitative
data
gathering
and
analysis
efforts
that
contribute
to
this
report,
including
surveys
in
various
forms,
community
conversations
and
interviews
with
providers
and
clients
cumulative
this
data
provides
us
with
an
updated
understanding
of
the
human
services
needs
that
exist
in
our
community.
R
S
The
human
services
commission
oversaw
the
planning
and
development
of
the
needs
update,
as
they
typically
do
every
two
years
with
our
upcoming
funding
cycle
beginning
in
about
two
months,
the
commission
will
use
the
information
from
the
needs
update
to
help
us
as
we
review
requests
for
funding.
Excuse
me
last
application
process.
We
received
over
seven
million
dollars
in
request
for
the
4.59
million
in
funds
we
had
to
allocate.
S
S
We
need
to
continue
to
reach
out
and
cultivate
these
voices
so
that
they
can
educate
us
about
the
needs
they
are
experiencing.
Excuse
me
and
share
what
they
can
contribute
to
the
community
as
part
of
the
city's
ongoing
efforts
to
continue
growing
as
a
culturally
competent
and
racially
equitable
organization
and
city.
We
have,
when
possible,
highlighted
racial
disparities
throughout
this
report.
S
We
appreciate
the
time
and
effort
the
human
services
team
put
into
this
report
and
the
foundation
that
it
provides
for
our
work
on
the
commission,
especially
but
not
limited
to
funding
decisions
on
behalf
of
the
entire
human
services
commission.
I
want
to
thank
the
council
for
your
ongoing
commitment
to
human
services
funding
and
continued
strong
support
for
human
services
in
bellevue.
S
During
the
pandemic,
the
council
has
provided
over
11
million
dollars
in
extra
human
services
funding.
This
additional
funding
has
allowed
many
bellevue
residents
to
retain
some
stability
during
this
very
uncertain
time.
Christy
stangland
will
now
provide
you
with
a
brief
history
of
human
services
by
sharing
the
key
findings
from
the
needs
update
christy
over
to
you.
T
T
In
1986,
the
bellevue
city
council
adopted
human
services
policies
and
guidelines.
Resolution
number
4815
established
the
city's
role
in
human
services
as
a
planner,
facilitator
and
funder
per
this
resolution
in
instances
where
the
city
desires
to
direct
cause,
a
human
service
to
be
provided.
The
city
is
to
do
so
through
the
provisions
of
funding
to
an
to
an
existing
qualified
and
quality
service
provider
in
the
community.
T
As
a
first
response,
the
role
of
the
human
services
commission,
based
on
the
city
code
3.61,
is
to
advise
the
city
council
on
all
manners
that
are
all
matters
that
concern
human
services
planning
and
funding.
Some
of
the
commission's
specific
duties
include
reviewing
all
requests
for
funding
of
human
services.
T
The
human
services
staff
in
east
king
county,
suburban
cities,
collaborate
to
identify
and
address
the
changing
needs
in
our
community,
as
well
as
prioritize
funding
services
across
regional
boundaries
to
maximize
resources
and
services
to
ensure
collaboration
across
east
king
county
human
services
commissions.
We
host
joint
commission
meetings.
This
includes
trainings
and
shared
learnings
to
align
whenever
possible.
T
Bellevue
has
been
a
leader
in
developing
the
human
services,
needs
assessment
and
has
maintained
a
biennial
report
since
1989..
The
reason
for
this
is
simple:
in
order
to
represent
the
human
services
needs
for
all
our
residents
to
those
making
decisions
both
at
the
city
and
the
county
level.
We
have
found
that
it
is
critical
to
have
accurate
and
comprehensive
data
that
includes
the
community
voice
from
from
throughout
the
city.
T
In
addition
to
guiding
funding
the
needs,
update,
helps
the
staff
and
other
groups
to
make
decisions
to
ensure
that
bellevue's
residents
have
the
help
they
need
to
enjoy
a
high
quality
of
life
bill
bellevue's
human
services
needs
assessment
is
also
used
by
the
entire
community.
It
is
used
by
human
services
providers,
community
groups
and
those
involved
in
regional
planning.
T
For
this
report
we
gather
both
qualitative
and
quantitative
data
in
a
variety
of
ways.
A
statistically
valid
phone
and
online
survey
was
conducted
by
come,
engage
us
nearly
400.
Bellevue
residents
participated
in
the
community
survey
in
this
survey.
Questions
were
added
around
if
there
was
a
change
in
the
household's
income.
If
so
was
a
result
of
the
pandemic,
if
the
household
is
currently
behind
on
rent
and
if
so,
how
many
months
and
if
the
household
reported
discrimination,
they
were
asked.
T
What
type
or
types
of
discrimination
the
household
experienced
the
data
was
analyzed
by
come,
engage
us
and
they
provide
us
with
a
comprehensive
report
of
the
data.
We
also
held
nearly
30
community
conversations
and
key
informant
interviews
as
well
as
conducted
a
survey
with
both
our
providers
and
consumers
of
human
services.
We
prioritized
inclusion
of
the
marginalized
voice
throughout
the
report.
T
Although
we
saw
an
increase
in
the
majority
of
the
areas
noted
in
the
full
report,
I
will
be
discussing
the
areas
that
significantly
increased
or
shifted
need
during
this
presentation
tonight
we
noted
that
predominant
needs
in
the
2020
human
services
needs
update.
These
areas
of
needs
remain,
as
community
priorities
were
also
supported.
With
data
in
this
report.
During
the
presentation,
I
will
be
providing
some
key
data
points
to
demonstrate
the
significant
increases
or
shift
in
the
needs
in
these
areas.
T
Covid19
has
disproportionately
impacted
communities
of
color,
putting
them
more
at
risk
of
getting
sick
and
dying
from
covenanting
safety
nets
were
eliminated,
which
means
post-pandemic
there
that
the
slightest
unexpected
expense
could
plunge
a
household
into
homelessness,
meaning
vulnerable
households
will
be
living
in
an
unstable
situation
for
quite
some
time.
Coven
19
guidelines
led
to
social
isolation
for
many
individuals
in
our
community,
especially
older
adults,
and
people
with
disability.
T
Human
services
providers
face
capacity
challenge
even
without
a
global
pandemic.
However,
covid18
has
caused
not
only
a
tremendous
increase
in
the
service
need,
but
has
also
required
a
significant
adjustment
to
how
services
are
delivered.
Both
of
these
have
stretched
organizations
already
limited
resources.
In
addition,
agencies
are
reporting
an
increase
in
cost
and
a
decrease
in
revenue.
T
T
As
the
city
invests
in
its
affordable
action
plan,
human
services
funding
amplifies
these
investments
by
providing
services
that
both
prevent
people
from
entering
homelessness
and
also
provide
services
that
help
individuals
maintain
their
housing.
Stability
such
as
rent
assistance,
behavioral
health
case
management
and
basic
needs.
T
T
Many
of
four
or
many
providers
stated
that
they're
experiencing
staffing
shortage
due
to
their
inability
to
pay
a
competitive
wage.
They
reported
that,
with
the
cost
of
living
so
high
in
east
king
county,
it
has
added
an
extra
challenge
to
maintaining
staff,
since
many
can't
afford
to
live
within
a
reasonable
distance
of
their
work.
T
T
The
need
for
low
barrier
emergency
shelter
for
all
populations
continues
to
grow
in
east
king
county,
as
you
can
see
from
the
data
on
this
slide.
East
king
county
has
low
barrier
shelters
that
provide
services
for
each
of
the
populations,
single
men,
single
women,
families
with
children
and
youth
and
young
adults.
T
The
shelters
are
often
either
close
to
capacity
or
overcapacity
when
a
shelter
is
over
capacity,
they
provide
local
resources,
as
well
as
refer
individuals
to
shelters
in
either
seattle
or
south
king
county.
Forcing
bellevue
residents
to
leave
their
city
of
residence
in
order
to
access
resources,
preventing
homeless
or
preventing
households
from
losing
their
housing
is
an
important
strategy
for
ending
homelessness.
T
Due
to
the
covid19
pandemic,
washington
state
enabled
an
eviction
moratorium
that
ended
in
october
31st
to
2021
several
housing
stability
programs
are
operating,
including
funding
offered
by
city
of
bellevue,
such
as
the
cdbg
cv
funding
and
the
arpa
funding.
However,
most
experts
still
predict
a
tsunami
of
evictions.
T
Behavioral
health
needs
in
our
community
outweigh
the
capacity
of
our
providers,
and
providers
are
reporting
waiting
lists
for
services
ranging
from
three
to
six
months.
There
is
also
a
significant
increase
in
the
need
for
behavioral
health
services
for
children
and
youth,
including
higher
rates
of
youth,
suicidal
ideation,
and
attempts
the
pandemic
further
intensified.
The
strain
on
young
people's
mental
health
and
well-being,
as
well
as
the
youth
mental
health
system.
T
T
Bellevue
has
the
lowest
rate
of
drug
and
alcohol
related
deaths,
a
lower
rate
of
drug
and
alcohol
related
deaths
than
the
state
as
a
whole.
In
east
king
county
there
were
60
confirmed
drug
and
alcohol-related
deaths
in
2020.
and
in
january
2021
through
october
2021,
there
were
45
confirmed
drug
and
alcohol
deaths
in
east
king
county.
T
T
The
rise
in
domestic
violence
was
reported
by
several
providers,
stating
that
people
have
been
isolated
due
to
covenanting,
which
has
led
to
increased
stress
for
many
households.
This
stress
has
resulted
in
more
clients
reporting
domestic
violence
to
providers.
However,
domestic
violence
incidents
often
go
underreported
to
police.
The
number
reported
to
the
bellevue
police
department
remains
similar
to
2020
and
previous
years,
despite
the
individual
and
collective
effort
of
our
region,
our
region's
human
services
providers.
T
T
In
addition
to
providing
translated
information,
there
is
a
need
for
more
diverse
staff,
who
are
not
only
bilingual
but
also
culturally
competent.
Many
providers
discuss
the
need
for
behavioral
health
services
to
be
offered
an
individual's
primary
language
and
by
somebody
that
understands
the
culture,
since
this
is
often
a
stigma
in
accessing
services.
T
It
was
also
brought
up
by
several
providers
in
our
provider
survey
a
num,
the
number
of
hate
and
bias
incidents
which
include
but
are
not
limited
to
race
and
ethnic
hate
and
hate
crimes
and
bias.
Incidents
have
also
increased
both
in
the
reports
gathered
by
the
bellevue
police
department
and
through
reports
gathered
by
king
county
coalition
against
hate
and
bias,
which
is
a
community-led
initiative
to
address
hate
and
bias
incidents
by
strengthening
and
networking
communities
who
experience
racist
and
vacated
treatment
and
all
forms
of
oppression.
T
Prior
to
the
upcoming
grant
review
process,
the
human
services
commission
will
participate
in
a
training
to
further
develop
their
equity
analysis
skills
and
to
aid
them
in
applying
that
analysis
to
their
fundings
processes,
decisions
and
relationships
with
human
service
organizations.
This
is
the
third
funding
cycle
that
the
commission
will
participate
in
this
type
of
training.
T
Although
transportation
is
not
defined
or
is
not,
by
definition,
a
human
service
is
showing
up
consistently
as
a
as
the
biggest
barrier
to
accessing
human
services,
maintaining
employment
and
allowing
people
to
remain
involved
in
the
community,
avoiding
isolation.
The
population
most
significantly
affected
are
older
adults
who
can
no
longer
drive
low
income.
People
who
work
odd
shifts
or
can't
afford
public
transportation,
people
with
disabilities
that
don't
qualify
for
access
ban,
but
do
have
trouble
taking
the
bus
and
youth
who
need
to
get
to
jobs
or
services.
T
T
In
closing,
I
want
to
thank
the
bellevue
city
council
for
the
ongoing
commitment
to
human
services
funding
over
the
years
and
through
the
pandemic,
as
needs
as
needs
are
identified
in
this
report.
The
funding
allocations
by
the
by
the
council
ensure
that
services
are
available
in
the
community
that
sustain
the
human
services
safe
safety
net
and
allow
every
resident
to
meet
their
full
potential.
A
Thank
you
for
that
great
presentation
and
chair
piper.
Thank
you
for
being
here
with
us
tonight.
You
said
that
we,
the
city,
allocated
more
than
11
million
additional
human
service
funds
during
the
pandemic,
and
I
want
everybody
to
realize
that
the
when
everybody
was
in
lockdown,
our
human
services
commission
got
together
and
started
holding
meetings
and
did
an
extra
funding
cycle
just
to
make
sure
we
could
get
those
dollars
out
the
door.
So
I'm
so
proud
of
the
work
that
you
did.
We
all
are.
A
Thank
you
very
much
so
deputy
mayor,
as
liaison
to
the
human
services
commission
I'll.
Let
you
start
first,
then
we'll
do
councilwoman
barksdale
robertson's
on
lee
stokes
and
then
myself
go
ahead.
G
Thank
you,
mayor,
yeah,
great
presentation.
Thank
you,
michael
tony
christie
and
chair
piper
for
being
here
this
evening,
important
work
and
great
presentation,
great
in
terms
of
it
being
very
data-driven,
but
certainly
as
much
work
and
great
work
that
we
did
and
continue
to
do
as
a
commission.
There's
still
lots
of
work
to
be
done.
Obviously,
so
a
couple
of
of
comments,
a
couple
of
questions,
but
again
just
really
want
to
emphasize
the
great
work
and
then
also
you
know.
G
I
want
to
thank
my
colleagues
now
as
well,
because
your
comments
today
will
help
form
some
decisions
later
as
well
in
terms
of
funding
so
really
appreciate.
Taking
the
time
to
you
know,
read
the
pack
and
become
aware
of
a
lot
of
these
issues
that
you
know
some.
You
know
homelessness
issues
you
expect
to
be
there.
We
have
more
of
these
emerging
trends
as
well.
G
That
will
continue
and
and
perhaps
get
worse,
depending
upon
how
covet
19
continues
to
to
impact
our
community
and
certainly
impact
in
an
equitable
way.
So
lots
of
challenges
ahead
for
for
sure,
but
incredible
team
that
we
have
on
on
the
commission.
So
a
couple
of
I
think
christie,
the
question
would
go
to
you
on
on
the
domestic
violence
front,
it's
been
well
documented.
The
the
rates
have
increased
during
during
covid.
G
I
was
wondering
if
we
can
make
the
same
connection
to
behavioral
health,
as
it
didn't
really
make
a
comparison
to
the
prior
study
that
we
did
it
just
kind
of
gave
the
rate
of
24
percent
of
respondents
saying
that
they
have
experienced
anxiety,
stress,
depression,
perhaps
suicidal
thoughts,
etc.
How
does
that?
How
does
that
relate
to
the
prior
needs
assessment
that
that
we
did?
Is
that
a
significant
increase,
or
is
that
about
the
same.
T
G
G
It's
also
interesting
to
me
and
I
think
to
my
colleagues
as
well
how
so
many
of
these
things
are
interconnected
right
I
mean
if
one
cannot
afford
child
care,
they
may
not
be
able
to
go
to
their
job
or
find
a
job.
They
can't
go
to
their
job.
G
G
I
pre.
I
appreciate
the
breakdown,
but
certainly
I
think
we
all
need
to
think
about
how
all
of
these
are
so
connected,
so
so
tightly
knit
and
how
we
need
to
address
all
of
them
holistically,
which
I
I
think
is
a
commission.
We
try
and
do
all
the
time
and
christy
do
you
have
that
number
it
looks
like
you
might
yeah.
I
do.
T
So
it
was
a
four
percent
increase
and
since
the
2019,
which
was
not
a
significantly
significant
increase,
however,
looking
back
at
the
data,
so
in
2017
only
16
of
people
identified
this,
so
it
was
8
increase
since
2017.
gotcha.
G
And
then,
as
it
relates
to
covet
19
as
well,
we're
talking
about
the
inequities
of
buyback
communities,
for
example,
being
more
affected
by
cobit
19..
How
are
we,
how
are
we
tracking
that
so
that
we
are
able
to
make
adjustments
there
and
hopefully
have
a
different
approach
when
it
comes
to
health
care
and
reaching
out
to
communities
of
color?
How?
How
are
we
learning
during
this
process
and
making
sure
that
we're
documenting
things
so
that
you
know
heaven
forbid,
we
ever
have
another?
G
T
I
was
gonna
pass
it
on
to
tony,
but
I
can.
I
could
take
a
first
shot
at
it.
It's
a
lot
easier
when
you're
in
person
to
kind
of
do
the
keys
versus
virtually
so
the
with
the
coveted
information
we
you
know.
A
lot
of
the
information
is
coming
through
public
health
and
different
king
county
resources.
So
it's
not
something
we're
necessarily
tracking.
However,
we
are
tracking
of
working
with
our
providers
to
make
to
determine
the
best
way
for
resources
to
be
shared.
T
U
Yes,
thank
you,
deputy
mayor
for
that
great
question.
One
thing
I
would
note
is
at
the
end
of
the
covet
19
chapter:
it
talks
about
the
city's
human
services
response
and
you'll,
see
evidence.
That's
pervasive
throughout
our
departments
that
so
many
different
departments
in
the
city
found
ways
to
adapt
and
ensure
that
human
services
were
able
to
reach
our
community.
U
C
All
right,
thank
you.
Thanks
for
the
awesome
report
and
to
the
commission
and
to
staff,
I
really
appreciate
the
transparency
around
the
methodology
controlling
for
race
and
ethnicity
in
the
data
collection,
and
also
just
taking
the
mixed
methods
approach
of
the
quantum
qual
together
to
help
get
a
fuller
picture
of
what's
happening
in
our
community.
C
C
I'd
be
interested
also
in
a
prioritized
list
of
knees,
and
I
know
that
it's
not
it's
it's
hard
to
prioritize
what's
most
and
what's
leads
to
what's
least
important,
but
just
trying
to
get
a
sense
of
what
how
we
can
consume
this
in
the
retreat
as
a
way
to
start
the
conversation
about
you
know
funding,
because
I
imagine
for
the
human
services
commission,
the
money
that
is
allocated
to
the
agencies
depending
on
what
money
is
available,
and
I
think
us
having
that
conversation
can
help,
maybe
promote
some
additional
funding.
C
If
you
will
given
the
need,
quick
question
on
the
burden
to
agencies
and
in
terms
of
reporting
and
such
is,
there
is
there
any
discussion
happening
right
now
around
coordinating
with
in
partnership
with
other
east
side
cities
coordinating
with
arch
on
data
reporting
requirements.
Just
so
that
you
know
we
come
up
with
a
shared
set
of
reporting
requirements
and
then
they
can
submit
to
arch
and
we
all
get
what
we
need
versus
having
to
report
to
each
city,
and
maybe
that's
already
in
place,
and
I'm
just
not
aware,
but
just
a
question.
There.
U
Yeah,
thank
you.
Councilmember
barksdale,
we
don't
coordinate
with
arch,
but
the
cities
do
coordinate
together,
and
so
when
agencies
are
funded,
they
do
not
have
to
individually
send
a
report
to
each
city.
They
we
work
together
on
one
application
that
we
use.
That's
both
for
the
application
process
and
for
reporting
to
try
to
cut
down
on
that
administrative
work
for
agencies.
C
R
Yes,
I
believe
that
that
information
will
be
available
on
the
portal.
Okay,
thank.
C
A
Yeah,
thank
you.
Councilmember
barksdale.
I
like
the
idea
of
talking
about
the
priority
the
human
service
needs
and
the
funding
priorities
at
the
retreat.
So
that
would
be
interesting
to
get
information
for
that
discussion.
Councilmember
robertson,
thank.
F
You
very
interesting
presentation.
It's
always
very.
I
love
to
see
all
the
data
I
hate
to
see
so
many
people
struggling.
So
I'm
going
to
focus
on
one
specific
area
and
that's
behavioral
health.
F
I
am
very
very
concerned
about
what
is
happening,
particularly
with
behavioral
health
for
all
people,
but
particularly
with
our
youth
with
the
shutdowns
and
the
kids
being
out
of
school
out
of
sports
dis
affected
from
their
friends.
They
can't
even
sit
and
talk
at
lunch
because
they
still
have
to
be
masked
or
far
apart
from
each
other.
We
have
a
absolute
crisis
on
our
hands
with
our
youth,
51
percent
increase
in
girl
suicides
ages,
12
to
17
during
the
pandemic.
Under
the
cdc,
that's
suicide
attempts.
F
I
think
I've
seen
numbers
where
it's
over
100
increase
in
suicide
ideation
among
teen
girls.
We
have
a
major
problem
and
I
think
that
we
need
to
really
focus
on
this,
and
I
would
like
to
see
more
funding
going
towards
behavioral
health
for
youth.
F
We
need
to
partner
with
the
school
district
and
with
our
other
human
services
agencies.
The
school
district
is
realizing
the
problem
they
have
on
their
hands.
They
are
doing
a
universal
screening
for
mental
health
in
the
high
schools.
In
just
a
couple
of
weeks,
I
got
a
notice
as
a
parent
today
that
newport
high
school
is
doing
it
the
first
week
of
february,
and
it's
an
opt
out.
So
every
kid
unless
they're
opt
out
will
be
screened.
F
That
data
would
be
incredibly
helpful
for
the
city
to
have
so
we
can
figure
out
where
to
use
our
money.
I
would
also
like
to
see
some-
and
maybe
this
is
a
retreat
topic,
but
we
have
1590
money,
which
is
separate
from
a
lot
of
the
human
services
funding
that
we
do
the
1590
monies
mainly
used
for
capital
or
for
funding
operations
at
capital
facilities.
F
It
to
that
extent
that
we
can
then
pull
some
put
more
funding
towards
those
needs
from
the
1590
money.
I
would
like
to
make
sure
that
we
then
shift
some
of
the
general
human
services
funding
to
other
needs
that
can't
be
funded
by
1590
like
mental
health,
for
our
youth.
I
just
think
it's
it's
really
important,
so
I'm
not
going
to
talk
about
everything
I
think
it
was
great
and
deputy
mayor
noonhouse
is
absolutely
right.
F
So
many
of
these
things
are
together
like
the
teenage
girls,
their
families
are,
you
know,
struggling
economically,
they
you
know
are
disaffected
from
their
friends.
They've
been
out
of
school.
They
I
mean,
there's
it's
a
whole
cascade
of
effects.
Maybe
they're,
there's
they're
starting
to
use
drugs
and
alcohol
to
suit
to
self-medicate.
F
So
it's
very
interrelated,
but
we
just
have.
We
just
cannot
let
the
youth
of
bellevue
spiral
and
with
the
trying
to
get
a
therapist
for
these
kids
or
and
for
adults
there's
months.
If
you
can
even
find
one,
you
have
to
get
on
a
wait
list.
It's
months
long
period,
the
inpatient
beds
are
full.
The
I
mean
it's,
it's
really
hard.
There's
so
much
need
right.
Now
I
see
people
looking
for
therapists.
They
can't
find
them.
F
V
F
R
Great
thank
you,
councilman
robertson.
We
will
make
sure
that
your
comments
are
included
as
these
recommendations
move
forward.
This
fall.
So
thank
you.
I
Councilmember
zan.
Yes,
thank
you,
michael
christie,
tony
and
ben.
You
know.
I
really
appreciate
this
tough,
this
really
thorough
work
of
doing
the
outreach
and
and
centered
on
data.
I
think
that's
super
important.
You
know
what
I
saw
in
here
was
a
lot
of
information
around
how
we
work
on
prevention
of
homelessness.
I
You
know,
I
think,
that
the
health
disparity
and
the
likelihood
of
eviction
the
fact
that
certain
populations
in
our
bipoc
community
two
to
three
times
higher
of
potential
for
eviction
and
health
disparities
related
to
cobit.
Those
are
serious
things
that
the
data
is
telling
us
about
the
needs
in
our
community
and
where
we
need
to
have
more
focus.
I
I
think
the
other
one
related
to
wrap
around
services
and
the
coordinated
transportation.
I
don't
think
we
talk
about
that
enough
that
that,
just
because
their
services,
if
we
can't
get
people
to
the
services
that
can
be
the
biggest
barrier,
so
I
was
thinking
about
the
fact
that,
as
we
look
at
funding,
the
fact
that
it
isn't
one
size
fits
all
and
that
that
the
needs
are
different
and
we
need
to
be
able
to
spend
that
time.
I
I
will
say
that
I
I
heard
a
lot
of
accolades
related
to
the
arpa
money.
I
So
specifically,
I
heard
from
central
cultural
mexicano
that
the
way
that
our
arpa
funds
were
set
up
was
really
extremely
helpful
in
meeting
people
who
were
facing
eviction
where
they
are
so,
as
I
think
about
moving
forward,
how
we
really
look
at
the
funding
in
a
way
that
is,
gives
some
latitude
for
the
organizations
to
be
able
to
meet
the
needs
of
the
community
where
they
are.
Instead
of
saying
we
only
pay
for
this.
We
don't
pay
for
that.
I
So
I
would
encourage
that
continual
broadening
and
flexibility
of
thinking,
because
I
think
we
don't
even
know
what
we
don't
know
in
terms
of
the
safety
nets
that
are
that
have
been
completely
disrupted
by
cobid.
I
guess
related
to
that.
I
would
like
both
of
you
to
think
about
for
the
service
providers
right,
how
we
really
make
sure
that
they're
putting
their
oxygen
mask
on
in
order
to
help
others,
so
the
the
data
in
there
that
talks
about
how
we
retain
hire
and
for
the
people
working
for
those
non-profits
that
are
supporting
those
services.
I
I
Can
we
do
even
more
matchmaking
of
those
businesses
that
have
certain
areas
of
interest
and
where
our
our
needs
are
and
then
looking
at
a
sustainable
source
of
funding,
so
that
I
know
that
our
11
million
was
a
was
a
one-time
infusion
of
funds.
I
But
how
do
we
look
at
it
more
broadly,
so
that
there
is
even
more
sources
of
funding
the
fact
that
what
was
it
almost
25
of
of
the
people
that
live
in
mill
bellevue
make
less
than
50
000
a
year,
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
how
you'd
even
be
able
to
rent
anything
for
that
amount
of
income.
So
I
do
think
that
this
is
an
amazing
document
with
over
200
pages
of
information.
I
That
really
is
foundational
so
that
we
can
focus
on
the
right
areas.
I
guess
my
plea
would
be,
let's
all,
let's
really
center,
on
the
very
people
that
are
providing
the
services,
because
if,
if
they
don't
survive,
then
the
very
people
we're
trying
to
serve
are
not
getting
served
adequately.
So
thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
lee.
W
Thank
you
welcome
here.
I
always
have
the
greatest
admiration
for
our
human
services,
commission
and
our
commission
members,
and
thank
you
chairman
piper.
You
know
this
is
something
that
it's
a
it's
a
thankless
job.
You
never
meet
all
the
needs.
W
We
know
the
needs
is
out
there
and
we
can
only
take
care
of
a
small
portion
of
it
and
people
who
apply
for
it
know
that
you
know,
and
so
it's
only
the
most
desperate
or
what
the
most
somehow
we
are
aware
of.
You
know
and
most
of
the
time
we're
only
aware
of
a
little
bit
of
it,
and
we
are,
we
don't
know
what
we
don't
know.
W
So
you
know
we
need
needing
services
yeah
we're
not
that's
why
we
have
non-profits
private
sectors
and
we
all
work
together
so
hard
on
and
human
service
commission.
You
guys
work
you
duck
through
everything
and
you
spend
the
time
you
make
comparisons
and
you
look
at
the
needs
and
you
get
the
staff
information
staff
does
all
our
great
work
because
they
have
to
do
all
details.
They
gotta
get
information
in
a
way
that
you
can
understand
that
we
all
can.
W
So
it's
just
a
continuing
the
most
admirable
challenging
commission
and
community
work
in
the
city.
So
thank
you
and
that's
just
endless.
The
challenge
is,
you
know
which
is
well.
What
I'm
talking
about
is
it's
been
magnified
the
last
few
years
with
the
covert
19
pandemic,
because
the
impact
you
know
has
been
in
way
mitigated
the
economy
is
pretty
decent
and
we
somehow
manage.
W
You
know
this
and
that
and
there's
not
a
widespread
hit
that
we
are
all
aware
of
and
also
communication
technology,
social
network
network,
it's
so
so
dominant
now
we
know
immediately.
Three
wow
people
are
really
getting
hit,
but
the
fact
is
all
the
elements
that
puts
us
into
those
positions.
One
have
always
been
there
and-
and
it
may
sometimes
get
better,
sometimes
get
worse.
Then
we
go
through
it
all
and
we
are
just
trying
to
see
how
we
can
fix
it.
W
Oftentimes
well,
we're
putting
on
band-aid,
hey,
hey
bending
is
better
than
nothing
we
have
to,
and
in
some
cases
we
do
better
than
that.
We
actually
make
a
difference.
We
actually
do,
and
I
think
that's
our
hope
and
that's
our
challenge
and
that's
our
continuing
diligence
and
our
hope
and
aspiration
to
help
people
who
need
help.
So
I
you
know,
but
I
I
well
again.
So
all
these
conversation
is
very
good
because
they
give
give
us
the
support,
aspiration,
inspiration
and
all
the
data
or
the
work
that
staff
is
doing.
W
It's
it's
very
good
because
we
need
to
know
them
and
that
give
us
better
information,
make
us
smarter
and
whatever
we
can
do.
We
talk
to
people
we
hear
from
the
non-profits
and
we
all
have
different
ideas.
You
know
everybody,
everyone
needs
help.
I
mean
we
should
not
be
saying
well,
we
need
to
put
more
money
on
this
and
that
we
need
to
help
this
better
than
that
one.
No
everybody
who's
affected
needs
help.
S
W
One
person
starving
versus
another
person
stopping
despite
of
what
they
are,
who
they
are.
It's
the
same,
starting
when
somebody
is
going
to
die
it's
going
to
die,
but
we
cannot
say
well.
You
can
afford
to
die
better.
If
you
starve
it's
okay,
no,
it
isn't,
but
so
it's
so
it's
a
challenge.
Just
it's
a
challenge.
So
again
we
have
to
work
within
all
this
challenge.
So
my
my
what
I
would
want
to
do
is
we
have
to
figure
out
with
the
data
with
the
information.
W
What
is
the
most
effective?
What's
the
most
beneficial,
what
we
can
do
that
makes
the
most
difference
and
that
that
varies.
You
know
today,
senior
citizen.
We
are
the
most
important
we're
having
19
of
the
seniors
16.
We
need
help
young
people
we
need
help.
Well,
let's
be
realistic
that
we
are
democrat
credit
country.
We
are
smart.
W
We
have
information,
we
talk
about
those
things,
so
I
think
the
retreat
will
be
very
good
place
and
then
we
can
at
least
have
some
intelligent
discussion
expressing
our
opinion-
and
I
heard
many
things
talked
about-
and
I
agree
you
know
it's
again-
personal
personal
agreement.
Theoretically,
I'm
old,
I
say,
senior
citizens
should
be
the
first
to
get
taken
care
of
every
one
of
us
should
have
the
benefit,
but
no,
I
heard,
and
we
most
of
us
agree:
young
people
are
the
most
important,
the
most
needed
because
they
are
the
future
and
the
most
vulnerable.
W
W
So
two
things
I
don't
want
to
pit
one
people
in
need
against
another
people.
We
need
to
look
at
it
holistically
reasonably
and
with
good
information,
what's
relevant,
that
we
can
do.
One
two
which
is
important,
is
I
I
heard
in
the
staff
report,
the
staff
actually
recognized
that
you
know
we.
We
we
have
to
have
people
who
are
helping
the
the
with
the
helping
for
the
staff.
People
have
to
have
the
culture
to
understand
and
to
be
the
trusted
messengers,
and
I
think
that's
one
area
I've
always
been
advocating.
W
A
I'm
not
seeing
or
hearing
council
members
stokes.
So
if
that
puts
me,
let
me.
E
Hold
on
a
second,
I
checked
it,
but
it
it
it's
it's
a
gremlin
in
there.
I
do
want
to
you,
know
back
to
the
human
services
commission
and
express
my
appreciation
for
the
work
you
do,
and
it
is
amazing,
given
all
the
challenges
and
and
both
in
resources
and
other
things.
What
I'd
like
just
leave
a
question
with
you
to
think
about,
is
and
and
being
here
enough
times
to
see
over
and
over
and
over
again
how
it
goes
it
it's.
E
It's
always
seems
to
me
that
we
have
built
in
kind
of
boundaries
around
our
commissions
and
things
sometimes,
and
it's
and
it's
great
to
have
the
human
services.
This
report
is
always
amazing
and
you
have
probably
you
know
like
250
things
on
there
and
we
maybe
focus
on
50
of
them
on
the
rest
goes
by.
So
I
would
like
you
to
think
about
and
have
this
conversation
from
your
perspective,
not
from
staff
perspective
or
from
council
members
perspective
you
as
citizens,
you
are
people
you
know
were
working
on
this.
E
E
It's
been
an
interesting
conversation
again,
it's
conversations
we
have
every
year
and
we
say
about
the
same.
Everything
is
really
good,
everybody's
doing
great
work,
it's
not
enough
and
it's
all
kind
of
we
know
back
and
forth
and-
and
I
think
it's
it's
because
we
know
there
is
a
tremendous
need
and
and
it's
a
human
need,
it's
what
we're
supposed
to
be
working
on,
and
yet
we
do
great
work.
E
E
I
I
and-
and
I
know
the
covets
made
a
lot
of
difference,
but
it
really
is
the
same.
When
you
go
back,
we
it's
nothing,
really
increased.
I
mean
increases
in
all
because
of
a
lot
of
things,
but
again
we
know
the
problems,
we
know
the
reasons
for
the
problems
and
the
issues
that
create
them
over
time.
I
love
data.
It's
great.
We
collect
all
this.
E
E
E
Basically,
I
mean
I've
never
heard
a
a
kind
of
you
know.
You
know
the
last
part
a
kind
of
a
cry
for
universal
health
care
for
universal
work.
Everybody's
nobody's,
you
know
better
than
the
others,
and
we
can't
point
fingers
at
the
cdc
for
this
or
that
and
get
into
the
all
that
thing
we
have
a
great
responsibility
and
the
question
we
need
to
go
forward
on
is:
how
do
we
really
make
a
lot
of
different
real
difference
down
the
line?
E
What
do
we
need,
and
it's
not
all
money?
It's
refocusing
and
I
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
relationship
between
the
human
services,
commission
and
the
parks,
the
parks
and
community
services
board,
and
that's
another
question
about
how
do
we?
How
can
we
make
the
organization
kind
of
overlapping?
E
E
These
are
regional
problems,
not
just
it's
not
just
belgium,
so
I
think
we
have
a
great
opportunity
ahead
of
us
to,
with
with
all
resources,
we're
getting
with
some
different
attitudes
and
better
approaches
from
the
business
community
and
other
communities
a
more
sense
of
we're
all
working
together,
and
we
did
a
great
job
this
year.
E
But
let's,
let's
work
I'd
like
to
see
us
really
work
together
and
do
even
more
and
come
back
next
year
and
say:
wow,
we've
made
not
just
a
10
difference,
but
we've
made
a
50
difference
or
something
so.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
work.
That's
been
done.
It's
just
just
amazing.
Thank
you.
Let's
do
more.
A
Thank
you.
So
I
think
you
know
what
I'm
hearing
from
the
council
christie.
Is
that
a
lot
of
appreciation,
of
course,
but
also
it's
really
hard
to
tell
if
what
we're
spending
on
is
making
a
difference
in
the
people's
lives
who
live
here,
and
I
think
we
all
kind
of
want
to
know
if
we're
making
that
den
or
perhaps
we're
missing
the
mark
in
any
way.
And
what
can
we
do
to
be
more
impactful
if
we're
not
being
impactful
enough?
A
Commission
that
I'm
on,
we
talk
a
lot
about
the
cost
of
behavioral
health
and
how
many
providers
have
stopped
working
in
this
field,
because
it's
such
a
low
pay
for
such
a
demanding
job
and
so
there's
a
big
push
to
pay
people
more,
and
I
know
that
the
county
will
be
raising
people
salaries
who
are
in
that
field.
I
wonder
how
the
city
of
bellevue
is
responding
to
that
challenge.
U
U
I
would
suggest
it
might
be
a
bit
of
a
difficult
time
to
do
that
right
now,
simply
because
of
the
impact
of
the
pandemic
that
I
do
not
know
if
you
would
be
able
to
objectively
measure
the
impact
of
the
investments
apart
from
the
deepening
needs
created
by
the
pandemic,
it
could
skew
the
results
to
try
to
assess
that
at
this
time,
when
the
impact
of
the
pandemic
has
been,
that
needs
have
arisen
across
the
entire
human
services
continuum,
and
so
we
may
not
really
at
this
moment,
be
best
suited
to
be
able
to
see
what
has
the
long-term
impact
of
city
investment
of
human
services
dollars
been.
U
It's
definitely
a
question.
We
will
leave
and
contemplate.
I
would
just
raise
that
as
an
item
that
comes
to
mind
when
I,
when
I
think
about
that
a
bit,
we
do
have
a
upcoming
conversation
planned
with
the
commission
around
what
principles
they
will
be
considering
as
they
consider
applications,
and
so
that
is
actually
scheduled
for
our
next
commission
meeting,
and
so
we
had
already
been
generating
a
list
for
consideration
by
the
commission
based
on
the
data
that
came
out
of
the
needs.
U
Update
and
I've
also
been
noting
specific
items
that
council
members
have
raised
here
this
evening,
specifically
for
you
mayor,
noting
the
impact
and
need
for
equitable
pay
for
our
providers.
And
so
we
will
add
that
to
the
list
for
consideration
by
the
commission
as
they
develop
guiding
principles
for
reviewing
applications.
A
A
So
I
know
that
it's
really
hard
to
report
the
on
the
impact
of
those
dollars,
but
I
think
it's
safe
to
say
that
we,
our
city,
helped
thousands
of
families
stay
in
their
homes
during
the
pandemic,
and
we
continue
to
do
that
and
that's
that's
what
we
don't
get
to
hear
that's
what's
kind
of
hard,
but
anyway
we
really
appreciate
the
emphasis
on
the
needs
getting
an
update
on
that
a
great,
very
good
presentation
tonight.
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
would
you
like
to
introduce
the
next
study
session?
Please.
A
N
N
H
Thank
you,
city
manager,
miyaki
and
mayor
and
council.
It's
good
to
be
back
here
with
you
this
evening,
talking
about
house,
bill
1590
and
some
of
the
expenditures
that
we're
bringing
back
to
you
tonight
to
consider.
H
You
all
may
recall
that
when
we
first
set
about
house
bill
1590
and
thinking
about
the
process
to
look
at
how
we
might
spend
that
one
tenth
of
one
cent
sales
tax,
the
council
talked
very
deliberately
about
wanting
some
quick
wins
and
some
some
thoughts
around
what
we
might
be
able
to
do.
As
we
were
collecting
the
first
year.
H
Sales
tax
we've
done
that
in
two
ways:
one
we
issued
an
rfp
for
human
services
for
a
little
over
1.6
million
dollars,
and
you
may
recall
you
awarded
those
monies
a
few
months
ago
and
this
tonight
is
part
two
of
that
quick
win
strategy
to
award
some
capital
money
and
we
put
out
the
rfp
in
the
fall.
And
so
what
we're
going
to
do
this
evening
is
walk
through
the
process
for
that
rfp,
our
recommendations
on
the
funding
allocations
and
then
we're
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
where
we
go
from
here.
H
So
I
know
a
number
of
members
of
council
and
some
folks
in
the
community
going
to
want
to
talk
about
the
2022
funding
cycle.
We're
going
to
be
back
to
talk
to
you
all
about
that
roughly
the
end
of
the
first
quarter.
But
what
we
are
going
to
do
is
talk
a
little
bit
tonight
about
some
lessons
learned
as
we
did
the
capital
funding
round
and
the
human
services
funding
round
and
how
those
two
things
really
do
need
to
work
together.
H
I
mean
that'll
be
a
little
bit
of
a
preview
for
what
you're
likely
to
see
here
towards
the
end
of
the
first
quarter.
So
if
we
could
flip
up
the
recommendation
slide,
our
recommendation
this
evening
is
for
you
to
direct
us
to
bring
back
an
ordinance
which
would
approve
funding
for
the
fall,
21,
affordable
and
supportive
housing
capital
funding.
H
That's
based
on
the
criteria
that
the
council
set
out
and
that
we
put
into
the
rfp
and
then
took
in
the
submittals
in
the
fall
go
to
the
next
slide
tonight.
What
we're
going
to
do
is
walk
through
a
little
bit
of
the
1590
background.
It's
also
important
to
look
back
and
note
which
color
of
money
or
requirements
relate
to
1590.
H
It's
a
fairly
targeted
set
of
populations
are
allowed
to
be
served
and
there's
some
requirements:
zero
to
sixty
percent
ami,
particularly
we'll
talk
about
the
rfp
process
and
the
specific
priorities
that
council
put
in
place
and
then
we'll
talk
about
the
the
projects
that
came
in
and
what
our
recommendations
are
and
then
we'll
finish
up.
As
I
mentioned,
with
looking
forward
to
our
next
study
session
on
the
overall
process
and
talking
about
debt
issuance
potentially
and
how
the
council
may
want
to
look
at
spending
the
money
money
going
forward.
H
So
with
that,
I'm
going
to
hand
it
off
to
elizabeth
direct
on
our
staff
to
walk
through
the
funding
recommendations
for
tonight.
V
V
So
here's
a
timeline
in
front
of
you
all
that
goes
through
all
the
different
bits
and
pieces
that
matt
just
mentioned
so
back
in
fall
of
2020
council
approved
collecting
the
hb
1590
funds
and
that
started
up
for
collection
of
funds
in
2021,
so
that
in
spring
of
2021
that
human
services
rfp
that
mac
mentioned,
was
released.
V
And
then
you
all
approved
the
distribution
of
those
funds
in
early
august
last
year,
pretty
immediately
following
that,
we
actually
released
the
rfp
for
the
funds
that
we're
discussing
tonight.
So
that
came
about
later
that
month,
and
we
once
once
that
rfp
was
released.
V
So
here
we
are
with
the
the
yellow
dot
in
january
of
2022,
for
the
the
recommendation
of
those
capital
funds
and
following
direction
today,
staff
can
bring
back
legislation
to
distribute
those
funds,
as
mack
mentioned.
There
are
a
few
other
efforts
that
align
with
what
we're
discussing
tonight.
So
we
do
want
to
highlight
that
there
will
also
be
an
arts
trust
fund
recommendation
that
will
likely
come
back
around
february
and
then
late
in
q1.
V
There
will
be
an
additional
study
session
to
continue
the
previous
discussions
that
the
council
has
had
on
the
future
of
hb
1590
funds.
So
when
mack
wraps
us
up
today,
he'll
go
through
some
of
the
lessons
learned
from
this
process,
which
will
feed
into
that
discussion.
That'll
take
place
in
late
q1.
V
So,
just
a
little
bit
of
a
reminder
of
the
funds
themselves
as
they
were
approved,
as
you
might
imagine,
based
on
on
the
name,
they
were
based
on
a
legislation
called
hb
1590
and
that
legislation
did
allow
us
to
collect
a
0.1
percent
sales
and
use
tax.
V
V
So
the
the
legislation
that
allowed
us
to
set
this
up
has
pretty
strict
requirements
for
how
the
funds
can
be
used,
and
so
it
sets
up
two
buckets.
As
mac
mentioned.
One
of
the
buckets
cannot
be
more
than
40
of
the
money
and
you'll
see
that
on
the
on
the
bottom
of
this
slide
and
that's
what
the
human
services
are
earlier
on
this
year,
really
targeted,
and
so
that
can
be
used
for
for
separate
standalone
services
of
a
variety
of
types.
V
As
mentioned
on
the
slide
here,
the
rest
of
the
funding
has
to
be
at
least
60
percent
of
the
the
money
that
is
collected
and
that's
what
applies
to
the
rfp
that
we
are
discussing
tonight
and
that
does
have
very
specific
requirements.
Around
populations
will
go
on
over
on
the
next
slide
and
it
can
be
used
for
the
construction
or
acquisition
of
projects
of
capital
projects
and
for
the
operation
and
maintenance
of
those
projects,
and
so
the
those
projects
can
be
affordable
housing.
V
So,
on
this
next
slide,
we
wanted
to
highlight
the
specific
populations
that
are
eligible
for
this
funding
in
that
60
or
greater
bucket.
This
is
based
on
state
legislation,
and
so
it
really
has
to
be
very
specifically
for
these
populations.
It
can
be
people
with
behavioral
health,
disabilities,
veterans,
senior
citizens,
persons
who
are
homeless
or
at
risk
of
being
homeless
and
specifically
including
families
with
children.
V
In
addition,
all
of
any
of
these
populations
that
are
served
by
these
funds
must
be
for
households
that
are
earning
at
or
below
60
of
the
average
median
income
of
the
annual
median
income
area
american
median
income.
Thank
you,
mayor,
struggling
with
that
one
today,
the
area
median
income
so
based
on
that
we
can
go
through
a
little
bit
of
the
rfp
process
and
priorities
that
we
that
we
went
through
in
order
to
highlight
what
the
recommendation
itself
is.
V
V
The
arts
trust
fund
recommendations
will
also
go
before
council
later
this
quarter,
and
there
is
definitely
some
some
kind
of
alliance
between
that
that
process
and
this
process,
and
so
you'll
hear
a
little
bit
about
that
as
well
as
we
describe
the
projects
themselves
and
then,
as
mack
mentioned,
there
is
a
parallel
effort
going
on
throughout
this
year
to
determine
what
future
years
will
look
like
and
and
how
the
future
1590
funds
will
be
utilized,
and
so
that
will
be
back
before
you
all
later.
This
quarter.
V
So
we
wanted
to
kind
of
remind
the
the
council
and
anyone
listening
in
of
some
of
the
important
criteria
and
priorities
that
were
announced
for
the
for
this
particular
rfp.
When
staff
was
before
council
back
in
july
of
last
year,
there
was
an
extensive
criteria
list
that
was
discussed
and
that
was
attached
to
the
packet
tonight.
There
were
also
three
really
high
priority
areas
where
we
we
were
really
instructed
to
highlight
and
really
encourage
in
the
rfp
itself.
V
X
Take
it
away,
thank
you,
elizabeth
and
good
evening
yeah
as
elizabeth
highlighted
earlier
bellevue
and
our
staff
worked
closely
to
evaluate
each
proposal
against
council's
previously
discussed
priorities
during
the
evaluation
process.
Three
main
priorities
were
emphasized:
those
who
are
addressing
and
preventing
homelessness,
focusing
on
households
at
or
below
30
of
area,
median
income
and
residents
who
are
vulnerable
and
underserved.
X
X
This
analysis
and
the
findings
were
then
presented
for
discussion
for
further
analysis
to
a
review
panel
composed
of
staff
from
several
city
departments.
These
departments
included
the
city,
manager's
office,
community
development,
human
services
and
development
services.
We
went
through
a
matrix
in
which
we
evaluated
the
process
and
staff
was
encouraged
to
discuss
the
projects
and
provide
feedback.
X
X
Based
on
our
review
and
analysis,
staff
is
recommending
the
lifewire
project
for
funding.
At
this
time,
we
are
recommending
funding
the
project
in
the
amount
for
up
to
1.6
million
dollars.
Staff
believes
that
the
project
meets
all
of
the
previously
mentioned
5090
priorities.
X
X
A
little
bit
about
the
lifewire
project
so,
as
previously
mentioned
they,
we
likewire
initially
asked
for
requested
two
million
dollars
for
a
funding,
but
upon
review
and
as
we
went
through
the
process,
they
were
actually
able
to
obtain
additional
funding
from
king
county,
which
required
them
not
to
need
the
two
million
dollars
and
that's
the
reason
why
we
are
only
requesting
1.6
million
to
be
approved
for
funding.
The
project
itself
is
very
exciting.
It
is
the
rehabilitation
of
a
property
in
the
east
side
of
bellevue
for
victims
of
domestic
violence.
X
It
will
create
25,
affordable
units.
Most
of
the
units
will
be
at
30
ami,
which
one
it
was
one
of
our
priorities
and
in
addition,
the
project
will
have
will
create
a
brand
new
services
building
in
which
the
i4
will
provide
extensive
services
to
the
residents
of
this
project.
X
X
X
X
X
They
will
provide
much
needed,
affordable
housing,
but
they
do
have
some
we're
going
to
continue
to
work
with
them
to
establish
some
some
additional
clarification,
as
mentioned
these
projects
that
earned
the
early
feasibility
stages
and
the
project's
commitment
to
the
priority
populations
and
the
priorities
were
not
clearly
defined,
although
both
projects
identified
a
willingness
to
serve
residents
at
30
ami,
the
amount
of
the
commitment
wasn't
unclear
at
this
time
due
to
the
stage
that
the
projects
are
in
and
it
is
unclear
they
were
also
unclear
as
to
the
services
that
would
be
provided
and
how
those
services
would
be
funded.
X
In
addition,
one
of
the
differences
that
I
would
like
to
point
out
between
these
projects
and
the
life
of
our
projects
is
the
timing
of
these
projects.
These
projects
that
we
are
not
currently
recommending
were
are
projects
that
are
long-term
projects
that
are
not
scheduled
to
begin
construction
for
at
least
five
to
nine
years
respectively,
as
opposed
to
the
live
project,
will
be
under
construction
in
the
next
few
months.
X
With
that,
I
will
go
ahead
and
hand
it
over
to
mac
to
to
continue
the
presentation.
Thank
you.
H
Thanks
elsa
so
to
sort
of
wrap
this
up
here
this
evening
we
learned
quite
a
bit
going
through
this
process
and
you
may
recall
the
last
time
we
talked
to
council
about
the
overall
1590
program,
there's
a
number
of
different
variables
to
being
successful
in
the
providers
and
the
developers
being
able
to
access
these
funds
and
then
build
and
and
develop
very
successful
projects.
H
So
in
thinking
about
our
continuum
of
care
model
and
thinking
about
the
most
vulnerable
populations
in
the
city,
we've
learned
quite
a
bit
from
our
partners,
both
in
the
human
services
arena
and
in
the
very
low
income
housing
arena
around
the
need
for
a
very
close
relationship
between
those
two
sets
of
services,
so
creating
the
housing
and
having
it
be
stable
by
having
access
to
the
types
of
services
that
help
people
stay
in
stable
housing,
and
you
heard
quite
a
bit
during
your
human
services
presentation
earlier
about
transportation
and
the
lack
of
transportation
that
can
then
cause
issues.
H
So
thinking
about
having
on-site
services
that
are
necessary
becomes
a
really
really
important
concept.
So
what
we're
working
on
now
is
how
can
we
bring
this
back
to
council
at
the
end
of
the
first
quarter
and
have
that
conversation
so
that
we
can
set
up
the
2022
funding
round?
There
are
a
number
of
developers
and
or
service
providers
that
are
now
very
aware
of
the
program
that
we
have
here
in
bellevue
and
they
were
not
last
summer
it
was
really
in
its
infancy.
H
So,
as
we
have
been
reaching
out
to
all
of
those
people,
they
are
very
much
waiting
for
us
to
be
able
to
tell
them
how
they
can
apply
for
this
funding.
You
know
going
forward
into
the
new
year,
so
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
stop
there.
Our
recommendation
for
this
evening
is
to
award
the
lifewire
project.
That's
really
the
the
one
thing
we're
asking
for
you
to
do
here
this
evening.
H
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
I'm
gonna
start
us
off
and
just
say
you
know
these
two
presentations
are,
it's
so
hard
to
see
all
the
need
and
to
see
this
funding
available
and
to
you
know,
be
anxiously
wanting
to
provide
funding
for
these
projects,
but
we're
just
beginning
it's
a
process,
and
I
really
appreciate
the
work
we're
doing.
A
I
think
we
really
have
to
be
out
in
the
community
listening
to
what's
out
there
what's
being
contemplated,
what
the
needs
are,
what
the
solutions
are
and
trying
to
figure
out
how
we
can
plug
in
and
help
make
this
happen.
So
I
appreciate
that
proactive
support,
you're
exactly
right
about
the
value
of
on-site
same-day
services.
A
That
is
the
key
to
helping
some
of
the
people
who
are
most
difficult
to
help.
So
I
appreciate
the
emphasis
on
that
as
well,
so
I
will
be
supporting
this
tonight.
Who
else
has
questions
or
comments
council
members
on
followed
by
councilmember,
stokes
and
then
deputy
mayor.
I
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
too
support
this
project.
I
think
it's
we
need
to
move
forward
as
quickly
as
we
can.
I
appreciate
hearing
about
the
fact
that
builders
and
developers
are
now
aware
of
this
program,
so
we
can
hopefully
get
more
proposals
in
you
know.
I've
had
a
belief
since
we
voted
on
the
1590
that
if
they
build
it,
we
want
to
support
it
even
looking
at
bonding
against
the
future
revenues
to
be
able
to
have
the
funding
available.
I
I
So,
since
we've
already
granted
the
1.66
million,
how
much
more
money
can
we
actually
spend
on
housing,
services
and
behavioral
health,
and
would
my
colleagues
be
interested
in
taking
the
money
that
is
available
within
the
40
percent
allowed
and
actually
providing
the
behavioral
health
services
that
we've
just
been
talking
about
in
the
previous
presentation?
So
that's
what
I'd
like
to
understand
and
what
my?
What
is
that
bucket
of
money
and
then
whether
my
colleagues
would
have
an
interest
in
looking
at
that?.
H
I
can
certainly
answer
the
first
question
you
have
taken
in
about
six
million
dollars,
thus
far.
Remember
that
this
tax
is
collected
in
the
rears,
so
we're
not
done
yet
collecting
2021
tax.
You
will,
assuming
you
authorize
the
lifewire
project
this
evening,
you'll
have
3.3
million
or
so
that
you
have
allocated.
H
H
A
Mac,
I
think
also
sorry,
council
members.
I
just
wanted
to
say
I
think,
when
we
first
discussed
the
1590
money,
we
also
considered
giving
anything
we
didn't
spend
in
the
year
over
to
arch.
So
that's
another
consideration,
but
you
can
go
ahead
with
council
members
on
questions.
H
I
And
and
when
would
that
next
study
session
be,
and
the
reason
I'm
asking
is
because
we
know
that
we
have
that
need
today
on
the
services
side,
and
so,
if
there's
a
way
to
bring
that
back
sooner
rather
than
later,
so
we
understand
how
much
money
we're
talking
about
and
what
we
might
want
to
do.
And
certainly
this
is
a
a
short-term
view.
Knowing
that
we're
going
to
have
that
longer-term
discussion
about
how
broadly
the
1590
money
would
be
spent.
H
So
we're
targeting
the
end
of
the
first
quarter,
which
would
be
sometime
in
the
next
45
to
60
days.
There
are
some
some
fairly
large
questions.
We
want
to
make
sure
we
can
answer
for
you,
especially
if
you
want
to
look
at
debt
issuance
on
the
capital
side,
which
many
entities
that
are
have
exercised
their
rights
under
1590.
The
idea
is
to
create
a
pot
of
money
to
spend
against
for
the
capital,
because
that's
such
a
large
expenditure,
but
we're
still
evaluating
all
that
to
bring
it
all
back
to
you.
E
Yeah,
I
appreciate
it
very
much.
I
think
this
is
really
really
good
progress
and
you
know
we.
We
never
know
when
going
forward
what
the
other
you
know
what's
going
to
be
out
there
and
it
takes
some
time
and-
and
I
think
you've
handled
it
well
in
approaching
that-
and
I
support
this-
you
know
the
plans.
I
think
it's
great.
E
I
just
want
to
have
a
question
that
for
people
who
might
not
quite
understand
this-
and
I
was
listening
to
it
because
we've
we've
gone
over
this
before,
but
when
we
were
talking
about
some
money
left
over
and
going
to
art,
one
just
refresh
us
on
what
that
really
means.
E
H
Council
er
stokes.
I
I
think
when
the
mayor
was
referencing
those
comments
you
you
all
may
recall
that
when
the
conversation
first
came
up,
there
were
some
questions
around.
If
there's
any
leftover
monies,
would
the
city
be
in
a
position
to
give
them
to
king
county,
for
example,
and
arch
came
up,
for
example,
and
yeah?
What
staff
commented
on
the
time
was:
yes,
that'll,
be
a
monetary
decision
that
you
can
make.
H
You
know
any
year
to
year
with
unencumbered
funds,
but
you've
not
given
any
direction
for
any
one
particular
entity
or
even
to
potentially
give
it
to
another
entity.
E
But
this
is
this:
is
each
year
or
I
mean
I've
had
some
questions
when
somebody
asked
me
about
this,
they
weren't
quite
understanding
last
time
and
I
so
we
will
have
more
than
1.6
million
going
forward
or
2
million
or
whatever.
H
Absolutely
yeah:
we
estimate
that
it
will
be
somewhere
between
8
and
9
million
dollars
a
year
as
an
ongoing
revenue
stream.
The
state
law
allows,
in
this
case
the
city
to
issue
debt
against
fifty
percent
of
that
revenue
stream.
H
H
So
we
are
working
on
all
those
scenarios
to
bring
back
to
you
for
discussion
so
that
you
can
make
those
sorts
of
decisions,
and
then
hopefully
we
can
have
a
a
very
standard
process
that
everybody
knows
how
to
access,
because
that's
one
of
the
most
important
things
for
the
providers.
E
G
Thank
you
mayor,
and
you
know
thank
you
for
the
whole
team
staff
presentation
tonight
and
thank
you
for
maintaining
your
urgency
around
this.
I
think
you
heard
us
loud
and
clear
that
we
wanted
to
move
quickly
with
this
1590
money
and
I
feel
like
you've
delivered
this.
This
is
this
a
great
project,
as
you
highlight
it's
a
priority
for
the
state,
the
county,
the
city,
it's
people
who
much
are
on
the
margins.
G
G
We
are,
you
know,
literally
preventing
them
becoming
homeless
in
our
city,
and
certainly
we
don't
don't
want
that,
and
so
I
I'm
fully
in
support
of
this.
It
meets
all
the
requirements,
a
couple
of
questions
for
probably
for
you
mac,
you
know
you're
talking
about
the
kind
of
the
communication,
just
kind
of
getting
the
word
out
about
59
and
money
who's
eligible
et
cetera.
It
sounds
like
you
know
at
this
point.
G
You
know
some
developers,
maybe
provider
are,
you
know,
are
aware
of
1590
money
now,
but
are
they
clear
do
we
my
question?
Do
we
need
to
know
more
outreach
to
make
sure
that
we
have
more
robust
folks
coming
forward
with
the
rfp
process
going
forward
in
the
future,
or
do
you
feel
at
this
point
that
those
that
are
either
eligible
or
have
projects
in
mind
are
going
to
be
ready?
This
time
around?
I
know
with
with
lifewire
it
was
kind
of
a
timing
issue.
G
It
was
new
and
they
just
happened
to
be
the
right.
Maybe
you
know
the
right
project
at
the
right
time,
so
that's
great,
but
don't
want
to
miss
any
opportunities
in
the
future
either
for
other
important
projects.
So
I'm
just
curious
that
more
outreach
needs
to
be
done
there
through
the
providers
through
the
developers
at
this
point
now
to
make
sure
we
don't
miss
any
other
opportunities
when
we
get
that
more
money
in
I'll.
Let
you
respond.
H
Yeah,
thank
you
for
that
question.
Deputy
mayor
yeah.
I
absolutely
believe
with
another
year
under
our
belt
of
getting
out
and
talking
to
those
people
that
there's
much
more
awareness
of
the
program
by
last
summer.
The
program
had
only
been
in
around
for
four
or
five
months
total
and
we
were
just
putting
an
rfp
on
the
street
for
the
first
time,
so
I
might
turn
it
over
to
elizabeth
or
elsa
to
speak
to
the
different
types
of
providers
and
developers
we
talked
to
and
what
they
said.
You
know
about
wanting
to
participate
going
forward.
X
Thank
you
mac.
I
can
add
something.
If
I
may,
I
think
when,
as
matt
mentioned,
this
is
this
program
is
in
its
infancy
and
with
other
programs
that
we
see
throughout
the
area,
the
region.
X
It
does
take
a
few
years
for
developers
to
understand
that
the
program
is
available
and
it
will
be
available
consistently
and
so
developers
plan
their
pipeline
around
that
some
of
the
developers
that
we
saw
this
time
around
that
did
not
apply,
but
we
showed
interest
for
some
developers
that
were
maybe
doing
larger
developments
that,
for
one
reason
or
another,
were
not
able
to
obtain
site
control
at
the
time,
and
so
those
are
developers
that
I
think
we'll
see
come
back
around
or
those
type
of
developers.
X
I
think
we'll
see
we
can
see
come
back
around
and
as
the
program
continues
and
moves
forward,
I
really
do
believe
developers
will
build
a
pipeline
around
around
the
program.
G
Great
well
thanks,
elsa,
thanks
back
on
that,
so
yeah
again,
very
supportive.
The
the
fact
that
we're
going
to
have
these
25
units
up
and
running
by
the
end
of
the
year.
Again,
that's
a
quick,
that's
a
quick
win,
and
that
is
fantastic
and
look
forward
to
more.
Hopefully,
quick,
wins.
We
have
that
discussion,
what
45
50
days
matt
when
he
come
back
before
us
here
before
the
end
of
q1,
so
appreciate
that
work
going
forward
and
yeah
great
great
presentation.
Thank
you.
F
Mayor,
I
I
didn't
raise
my
hand
at
first,
because
I
just
wanted
to
say
what
she
said
after
you
spoke.
I
couldn't
agree
more.
I'm
really
excited
about
this
project,
glad
to
see
it
moving
forward
and
funding
it
glad
that
they
have
more
partners
on
board.
So
definitely
the
question
on
the
table
is:
should
they
bring
back
an
ordinance?
Yes,
you
should,
and
then
I
just
listening
to
my
colleagues
talk.
I
want
to
just
to
weigh
in
a
little
bit.
F
I
agree
that
the
setting
up
the
infrastructure,
the
internal
infrastructure,
to
start
these
programs
going
takes
some
time.
I
know
that
we're
going
to
be
moving
faster
in
the
future,
I'm
wondering
if
we
as
part
of
the
discussion
of
when
in
50
days,
time
or
whatever,
when
this
comes
back.
F
If
we
can
talk
about
maybe
having
some
ongoing
open
rather
than
doing
rfps
every
time
and
having
it
be
one
round,
if
we
have,
if
we
have
continuous
opening
for
applications,
especially
for
smaller
amounts,
you
know
we
are
it's
common
and
much
more
of
the
norm,
particularly
with
arch,
and
what
we've
seen
before
for
us
to
be
funding
nonprofits.
F
For
this
kind
of
housing,
but
we
have
an
awful
lot
of
fee
developers
and
profit
housing
being
developed
in
bellevue,
and
we
have
put
things
in
place
in
our
land
use
code
in
terms
of
incentives
and
in
our
other
in
the
city
code.
In
terms
of
the
multi-family
tax
exemption
to
try
to
get
those
private
developers
to
build
more
affordable
housing.
F
So
it's
much
more
successful
to
have
a
development
say
it's
250
units,
so
you
have
30
of
30
of
the
60
ami
50
of
the
80.
You
know
another
50
of
the
120
and
the
rest
market
rate.
That
is
going
to
be
a
much
more
successful
way
to
support
the
folks
who
need
affordable
housing
than
to
have
just
a
single
block
with
50
units
of
all
30,
mi,
60,
ami,
whatever
disperse,
and
that
those
are
good
too,
particularly
for
the
very
very
low
income,
but
for
the
60
ami.
F
If
we
could
weave
those
into
every
apartment
development,
that's
going
on
right
now
by
you
know,
buying
down
the
affordability
with
some
of
this
money,
we
could
bring
these
units
on
board
even
faster.
So
I
think
that
that's
something
that
we
should
you've
heard
me
say
this
before
I'm
going
to
say
it
again,
I
think
that's
something
we
should
definitely
consider
as
one
of
the
many
different
ways
to
use
these
funds.
It
will
allow
us
to
distribute
the
money
faster.
It
will
allow
us
to
bring
units
on
board.
F
You
know
at
a
quicker
pace
and
it
will
also
reach
the
goal
which
our
affordable
housing,
the
tag,
technical
advisory
committee
recommended,
which
is
dispersion,
dispersion
dispersion.
F
So
that's
that's
what
I'd
like
to
see
there
with
regard
to
bonding?
I
I
wouldn't
support
just
floating
bonds
without
a
project
in
mind.
I
think
if
we
have
some
big
projects,
we
want
to
do
that
bonding
would
benefit
from
absolutely.
F
But
why
pay
interest
on
the
money
when,
if
we're
not
ready
to
ready
to
use
it,
if
we
don't
need
the
bonded
funds
yet,
so
I
think
that
we
definitely
should
keep
that
option
and
that
tool
on
the
table.
But
why
pull
you
know
if
you're
with
your
house,
why
pull
your
heloc
if
you're,
not
ready
to
you,
know,
build
your
edition
so
same
kind
of
thing
so
because
you're
just
paying
interest
for
nothing
so
on
the
behavioral
health?
F
Just
looking
at
my
notes
on
the
behavioral
health,
I
joined
council
members
on
with
wanting
to
make
sure
that
we
do
more
of
that.
There's
funds
available
and-
and
maybe
it's
not
ripe
yet,
but,
for
example,
the
plymouth
housing
permanent
supportive
housing
if
they
need
funding
to
make
sure
that
they
have
services
on
site.
F
That's
something
I
want
to
do
I
mean
so
there's
a
if
we
can
fund
some
of
these
counseling
services,
particularly
youth
counseling
services,
that
are
non-profits,
so
they
can
add
more
therapists
and
or
provide
more
beds,
or
you
know
to
help
the
youth.
Let's
do
that.
I,
whether
it
comes
from
1590
money
from
the
general
human
services
from
community
development
block
grants,
we
need,
we
need
more,
and
so
I
don't
you
know,
let's
use
the
tools
we
have
to
fund
more,
because
behavioral
health
is
critical.
F
So
I'll
just
stop
there
I'm
looking
forward.
I
really
appreciate
the
work
that
staff
has
done
on
this.
You
it
it's
it
and
you
have
a
council
going
hurry
up
hurry
up
hurry
up,
you
guys
are
doing
amazing
work
and,
and
it's
getting
we're
gonna
get
faster
at
this
and
we're
distributing
the
money.
F
I
love
it
we're
ready
to
cut
another
check
for
another
important
project,
and
I
I
love
what
alyssa
said
about
or
elsa
said
about
the
pipeline,
that
people
will
know
it's
there
and
we'll
we'll
get
more
streamlined.
I
love
it.
So
thanks.
A
W
Okay
thanks:
yes,
I
support
the
recommendation.
The
status
is
making
limewire
that's
a
great
project
and
I
can't
imagine
the
staff
doing
it
very
expeditiously.
W
This
is
a
great
great
thing
to
do.
We
just
discussed
the
human
services.
You
know
report
before
this
and
we
talk
about.
You
know
the
needs
out
there.
That's
so
horrendous
and
we're
only
meeting
some
of
it
and
to
me.
W
I
think
this
hp
1590
is
a
source
of
funding
for
us
to
use
to
take
care
of
all
the
human
service
needs
which
include
housing,
which
include
the
wraparound
services,
which
include
you
know
the
the
the
mental
health
and
all
that
aspect
of
it,
and
so
I
don't
know
whether
we
have
talked
about
clearly
our
mind.
I
think
you
have
given
us
what
the
constraints
are
requirements
are,
but
I'm
not
sure
if
we
discuss
it
in
the
framework
of
what
specifically,
we
should
be
funding.
W
You
know
on
with
this
money,
so
I
believe
that
we
should
should
do
that,
because
some
of
the
questions
are
raised
now
I
have
that
myself,
we,
you
know,
I
think
the
director
mentioned
mac.
We
need
to
work
with
partners
making
sure
it's
efficient
or
what
needs
are
there?
We
can
deliver
them
and
we
we
have
some
questions
we
asked
about.
I'm
glad
art
is
involved
and
archie
is
doing
a
lot
of
the
stuff
they
already
have
the
pipeline.
W
W
W
You
know
if
we
can
use
the
money
and
I
think
we
can
for
the
the
mental
health
our
reference
services,
as
councilman
robertson
mentioned.
Let's
do
it,
we
don't
need
to
wait.
We
don't
need
to
get
ifp,
we
don't
need
to
figure
out
and
have
the
city
do
all
that
stuff
and
the
that's.
The
reason
I
think
the
city
of
belgium
is
working
so
wonderfully
is
because
the
city
doesn't
have
to
do
all
that
we
have
partners
already
established.
W
We
have
non-profits,
we
have
arts,
that's
working
on
the
regional
basis
representing
the
city,
but
not
directly
the
city,
and
we
got
things
already
know
what
needs
to
be
done.
What's
on
the
pipeline,
who
we
can
work
with,
and
so
I
I
really
think
that
if,
unless
we
have
constraints,
we
cannot
do
that.
W
I
don't
think
that
we
need
to
make
it
more
difficult,
more
complicated,
more
directoratic
and
more
red
with
more
red
tapes,
and
we
need
to
utilize
what
we
got
and
then
take
advantage
of
them
and
within
the
the
parameters-
and
you
know
I-
I
really
feel
that's
very
important,
even
that
I
know
we
only
cover
a
small
portion
of
human
service
needs.
We
still
have
to
look
for
other
sources.
You
know,
I
think,
when
we
talk
about
this,
we're
continuing
to
do
so.
W
Following
the
human
service
discussion,
we
will
have
to
figure
out
what
other
sources
of
money
we
can
get,
and
this
is
a
godsend,
hp,
1590.
It
was
given
to
us
nine
million
dollars
and
continue
to
come,
and
so
why
don't
we
use
it
to
meet
our
needs
that
we
already
have
so
maybe
mark
can
give
us
a
summary
later
and
whether
the
city
council
need
to
talk
about
these
things
a
little
bit
more
clear.
W
You
know
more
clearly
and
a
little
more
specifically
so
that
we
know
what
is
the
best
way
to
administer
this
money
to
meet
the
needs
of
the
city.
Thank
you.
H
W
C
All
right,
thank
you,
so
I
support
staff's
recommendation
to
fund
lifewire
starts
here
program
and
also
glad
to
see
that
this
is
going
to
go
toward
housing,
that's
at
30
or
lower
ami.
When
we
first
took
the
funds,
I
was
really
interested
in
making
sure
that
we
continue
to
fund
zero
to
30
percent
housing,
so
look
forward
to
that
in
the
future
as
well.
C
I
also
look
forward
to
staff
returning
with
the
guidelines
and
or
policy
options
around
balancing
units
and
services,
because
I
do
think
we
need
to
max
point.
We
do
need
a
lot
of
units
as
well,
but
maybe
in
terms
of
unused
funds.
C
Some
of
that
can
go
to
behavioral
services,
because
I
understand
there's
the
need
there.
I
was
just
going
to
mention
in
terms
of
outreach.
As
you
may
know,
amazon
has
the
21
million
dollar
grant
for
real
estate
developers
of
color
who
are
building
affordable
housing,
so
just
as
another
endpoint
in
terms
of
outreach,
especially
for
developers
of
color.
I'm
curious,
if
maybe
that's
some
avenue,
for
identifying
additional
developers
who
may
may
be
developing
they'll
use
these
funds
and
then
last
question
have
we
received
the
housing
needs
assessment?
C
H
I
think
to
answer
your
question
directly:
we
are
building
some
of
our
housing
needs
assessments
into
some
of
the
other
strategic
initiatives
like
the
major
comprehensive
plan,
update
process
and
that's
largely
driven
by
the
county-wide
policies
and
our
decision
to
grow
just
in
a
particular
way
holistically
and
globally.
H
C
And
that
in
the
next,
when
that
comes
it'll
be
it'll
include,
affordable
house
specifically.
H
Yeah,
absolutely
so
we're
as
part
of
a
totally
separate
work
effort,
we're
looking
at
jobs,
housing
imbalance
and
what
that
means
for
the
city
overall
and
and
largely
too,
on
the
missing
middle,
which
is
another
big
segment
of
housing
that
we're
missing.
A
Okay,
so
is
there
a
motion
deputy
mayor
there.
E
A
Good,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
and
the
opposed
terrific.
We
have
one
more
item
here,
we're
gonna
it's
a
regional
issues
and
lacy's
jane,
I
believe,
is
going
to
provide
a
quick
overview
for
us.
Are
you
ready,
lacey
chain.
Y
I
am
mayor
good
evening
today.
I
believe
we
are
about
one
quarter
of
the
way
through
the
60-day
short
legislative
session
and
lots
of
interesting
bills
are
coming
through
tonight.
I'd
love
to
take
the
opportunity
to
highlight
a
few
for
you.
Of
course,
a
more
extensive
report
is
included
for
you
in
your
council
meeting
packet
before
I
get
into
those
bills
to
highlight.
Y
So
one
of
the
city's
top
legislative
priorities,
as
you
know,
is
to
secure
funding
to
complete
improvements
along
I-405
and
to
support
the
deployment
of
bus
rapid
transit.
As
I
mentioned
to
you
all
last
week,
when
we
had
washington
state
department
of
transportation
come
give
an
update.
Governor
jay
inslee's
proposed
supplemental
transportation
budget
included
full
funding
for
the
450
million
dollar
revenue
gap
on
the
I-405
sr
167
corridor,
and
that
is
great
news
and
a
great
way
to
start
off
the
legislative
session.
Y
With
that
recommendation,
good
news
for
bellevue
and
many
of
the
stakeholders
along
the
corridor.
As
you
know,
though,
that's
just
a
starting
point
for
discussion
and
it's
up
to
legislators
to
take
action
so
to
support
them
in
that
work.
Mayor,
robinson
and
council
member
robertson
testified
to
the
house
and
senate
transportation
committees
urging
legislators
to
identify
a
funding
solution,
this
legislative
session
so
more
to
come
on
that.
Y
As
you
know,
affordable
housing
is
a
priority
for
the
city
of
bellevue,
and
this
has
been
a
hot
topic
in
the
2022
legislative
session,
including
increasing
density
to
support,
affordable
housing.
Unfortunately,
several
proposals
have
begun
to
come
forward
that
would
preempt
local
control
and
land
use
authority.
So
I
want
to
flag
a
few
of
those
for
you
house.
Bill
1782
intends
to
increase
the
availability
of
land
for
missing
middle
housing
within
city
limits
and
that
missing
middle
housing
includes
duplexes
through
six
plexes,
stacked,
flats,
townhouses
and
courtyard
apartments.
Y
The
association
of
washington
cities
submitted
a
letter
to
the
legislature
and
testified
in
opposition
of
this
bill,
pointing
out
that,
while
many
cities
share
the
legislative
goal
of
increasing
affordable
housing
that
this
might
not
be
the
most
effective
approach
to
take
and
might
not
honor
the
extensive
public
input
processes
that
many
cities
have
gone
about
to
figure
out
their
individual
approaches
to
affordable
housing.
Y
Again,
local
governments
pushed
back
somewhat
highlighting
the
need
for
these
decisions
to
be
made
locally
and
noting
that
many
jurisdictions
have
removed
local
adu
regulations,
but
have
not
seen
an
increase
in
the
number
of
adus
constructed
so
more
to
come
on
these
bills.
Y
One
last
area
where
I'd
like
to
update
you
all
it
has
to
do
with
social
and
criminal
justice
reform.
As
you
know,
bellevue
supports
efforts
to
clarify
the
many
reforms
enacted
in
2021
to
provide
greater
implementation
direction
due
to
the
complexities
and
nuances
of
police
practices
and
to
provide
for
consistent
implementation
across
the
state.
Y
Y
A
Thank
you,
lacey
jane
any
comments
or
questions,
I'm
not
seeing
anything.
So
I
think
you
answered
every
question
we
had,
and
that
brings
us
to
the
end
of
our
meeting.
So
we
will
adjourn
and
I'll
see
everybody
not
next
week,
because
next
week
is
a
fifth
monday
that
we're
not
having
a
meeting
next
week
but
the
following
monday,
all
right.
Thank
you
good
night.
