By
way
background,
this
topic
was
last
discussed
in

June
15
study
session
and
at
that
meeting,
council
directed
staff

on
this
matter
at
the
July
15

of
questions
were
also

this
land
use
code,
amendment
on
the
recommended
components,
a
bit

ordinance.
A
next
slide,
please
so
for
additional
information
regarding
the
regulatory
framework.
I
will
hand
it
to
Trishna.
F
G
You
Mike
good
evening,
mayor
Robinson,
deputy
mayor
new
house
and
council
members
as
mr.
McKeon
mr.
Brennan
notes,
dis
Luca
is
a
conformance
update.
The
city's
frequently
flooded
areas,
regulations
as
a
refresher
I
want
to
start
by
kind
of
providing
some
basic
information
and
the
city's
regulations
into
land
use
code
under
domain
use
code.
G
Next
slide,
please,
you
may
recall
seeing
this
map
in
the
study
session
that
we
had
was
he
on
June
15.
This
is
a
map
of
the
city
with
the
frequently
flooded
areas
eliminated.
So,
as
you
can
see,
Lake
dalvio,
Larsen,
Lake,
phantom
Lake,
Lake
Sammamish
and
most
streams
in
the
city
are
included,
so
we
also
wanted
to
provide
kind
of
some
information
that
was
asked
at
the
study
session.
So
in
the
city
there
are
980
properties
that
intersect
the
floodplains
along
streams
and
lakes
in
the
city.
G
The
city
owns
98
of
these
properties
and
the
extent
of
floodplain
on
a
property
varies
from
a
small
section
to
most
of
the
parcel
being
encumbered
by
a
floodplain.
Most
of
these
properties
are
either
vacant
or
have
existing
structures
located
outside
of
the
floodplain
and
because
of
this
durable
may,
approximately
135
structures
in
floodplains
next
slide.
Please
I'm
going
to
turn
next
to
provides
us
a
brief
explanation.
G
Under
federal
Flood,
Insurance,
Program
NFIP,
the
city
has
participated
in
the
NFIP
since
December
1st
1978
participation
means
that
Bellevue
residents
and
businesses
can
obtain
and
if
I
pee
back
flood
insurance.
It
also
means
that
Bellevue
is
eligible
for
federal
flood
disaster
relief.
There
are
essentially
two
parts
of
the
dis
participation
in
NFIP.
First,
in
order
to
participate
in
the
program,
the
city's
regulations
have
to
conform
with
federal
and
state
standards,
and
that's
what
we're
doing
with
this
luca
ii.
G
The
city
also
has
a
class
5
rating
in
FEMA's
community
rating
system
or
CRS
out
of
a
nine
to
one
system,
nine
being
the
lowest
rating,
which
what
is
what
community
a
community
would
typically
start
at,
and
this
would
allow
a
5%
discount
on
flood
insurance.
Each
rating
number
is
an
increment,
a
five
percent
additional
discount
so
to
rise
in
the
ratings.
The
community
must
engage
in
flood
mitigation
activities
such
as
doing
outreach
providing
flood
related
information,
maintaining
flood
maps
and
having
corresponding
and
conforming
regulations.
Again.
G
G
So
a
hundred
and
thirteen
116
properties
inside
and
113
properties
outside
of
the
floodplain
in
Bellevue,
as
of
April
17th
and
the
NFIP,
has
paid
out
65
flood
claims
stolen
over
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars,
and
we
do
want
to
point
out
that,
because
Galia
has
had
an
effective
floodplain
management
and
regulations,
there
have
only
been
five
claims
that
are
for
a
substantial
amount,
since
1978
substantial
claims
means
more
than
50
percent
of
the
structures
value
next
slide.
Please
so
FEMA
is
the
agency
responsible
for
updates
to
the
countywide
flood
insurance,
Maps
and
flood
insurance
study.
G
These
maps
were
released
in
2017
FEMA,
had
held
open
houses
to
provide
information
about
the
preliminary
maps
and
for
property
owners
to
comment
on
these
maps.
The
maps
became
final
in
July
2018,
and
this
past
February
FEMA
transmitted
to
the
city,
a
new
flood
insurance,
Maps
and
flood
insurance
study.
In
addition
to
adopting
the
Maps
study,
FEMA
also
requires
that
participating
communities
such
as
Valeo
adopt
conforming
amendments
to
its
code.
Fema
has
set
a
deadline
of
when
communities
have
to
adopt
his
new
maps
and
study
and
conform
to
regulations,
and
this
deadline
is
August.
G
19Th
this,
the
conforming
regulations
is
not
to
make
any
changes
to
the
new
maps
or
study
or
any
components
of
the
maps
and,
as
next
will
go
through.
We
are
making
sure
that
the
amendments
are
only
to
conform.
The
land
use
code
to
federal
and
state
standards,
and
nothing
more
than
that,
meaning
that
we're
not
having
we're
not
asking
for
additional
requirements
that
other
than
those
absolutely
necessary.
H
So
as
a
reminder,
the
draft
amendments
to
the
floodplain
management
regulations
can
be
found
in
attachment
B
and
the
attachment
B
includes
the
current
regulations
with
new
tech
shown
and
underlined,
and
then
the
removed
text
shown
with
the
strikethrough.
As
for
the
amendments,
they
do
occur
within
four
topic
areas,
so
I'll
run
through
those
just
quickly
as
a
reminder
from
our
June
15
study
session.
So
the
first
areas
are
changes
to
the
definition
section.
H
This
was
revised
to
match
terms
that
are
used
in
the
frequently
flooded
areas
section
of
the
code
and
altogether
there's
12
new
definitions
and
six
existing
definitions
that
will
be
amended
for
clarity
and
consistency
with
FEMA
requirements.
The
next
topic
area
is
in
the
floodplain
building
performance
standards,
which
include
dry
flood.
Poop.
Excuse
me
dry
flood
proofing,
standards
for
all
structures
in
a
floodplain,
as
well
as
removal
of
the
legal
non-conforming
provision
within
the
land
use
code
or
within
the
frequently
flooded
area
section.
Rather,
all
changes
were
directed
by
FEMA.
H
The
legal
non-conforming
provision
is
removed
at
FEMA's
request
in
order
to
comply
with
FEMA's
requirements.
It's
important
to
note
that
non-conforming
structures
or
uses
are
not
impacted
by
the
removal
of
this
code.
Provision
and
those
uses
and
structures
may
continue
to
exist
and
be
maintained
in
a
manner
consistent
with
today's
requirements.
Next
slide,
please,
the
next
area
is
with
our
variance
process,
so
the
amendments
include
a
variance
application
requirement
to
modify
building
standards
which
require
drug
dry
flood
proofing
of
structures.
H
This
amendment
also
includes
additional
criteria
that
the
director
must
consider
when
deciding
whether
to
grant
a
variance
to
the
floodplain
regulations,
and
then
the
final
topic
area
relates
to
city
procedures.
So
the
proposed
amendment
includes
a
new
subsection
for
submitter
requirements,
consistent
with
FEMA
requirements
and
a
new
section
to
clarify
the
role
of
the
director
of
development
services
as
being
responsible
for
administering
and
enforcing
the
floodplain
management
regulations.
The
changes
in
the
amendment
are
current
with
City
practice,
but
they
were
added
to
to
the
code
to
meet
FEMA's
requirements
in
the
strike
draft
you'll
notice.
H
There
are
highlighted
portions,
which
show
changes
to
the
strike
draft.
Since
the
last
time
we
met
on
June
15th.
One
of
the
changes
includes
a
new
subsection
related
to
information
obtained
and
maintained
by
the
city.
This
was
added
at
the
request
of
FEMA
and
they
have
reviewed
the
language
and
indicated
that
it
meets
their
requirements
next
slide.
Please.
H
So
here
is
a
list
of
outcomes
which
will
result
from
the
adoption
of
this
land
use
code
amendment,
so
the
city
will
continue
to
be
eligible
for
federal
flood
disaster
aid.
This
is
typically
federal
assistance
to
repair
public
infrastructure,
that's
damaged
by
floods,
Bellevue
residents
and
businesses
will
retain
their
NFIP,
backed
flood
insurance
and,
as
noted
before,
there
are
229
policies
in
the
city,
and
this
would
allow
for
those
properties
to
receive
assistance
in
the
event
of
a
flood.
H
This
Luka
has
no
effect
on
the
already
final
FEMA
firms
and
FIS
FEMA
did
begin
their
scoping
process
of
updating
these
Maps
back
in
2005.
They
had
held
open
houses
to
provide
information
about
those
preliminary
maps
and
for
property
owners
to
provide
comments
on
those
Maps.
The
appeal
period,
as
mentioned
earlier,
did
end
on
July
15
2018.
So
after
almost
15
years,
FEMA
issued
their
letter
of
final
determination
for
the
updated
firms
and
FIS
and
established
an
effective
date
of
August
19
2020.
H
So
the
FEMA
maps
are
final,
and
this
Luca
cannot
change
the
information
on
the
flood
insurance
rate
maps.
As
for
outcomes
for
existing
structures,
no
change,
there
are
no
changes
to
the
use
of
existing
structures.
There
is
also
no
changes
to
the
procedures
to
review
any
modification
or
alteration
to
an
existing
structure,
so
the
city
has
provisions
in
place
for
substantial
improvements.
So,
at
the
point
that
improvements
exceed
50
percent
of
the
current
structure
value,
then
the
the
the
building
would
have
to
excuse
me.
H
The
building
would
have
to
be
brought
into
compliance
with
the
use
code
requirements,
so
that
does
not
change
with
this
land
use
code.
Amendment
that
requirement
is
still
in
place.
There's
also
no
change
the
requirements
for
structures
such
as
docks,
bulkheads,
boat
houses
or
garden
sheds
when
along
Lake,
Sammamish
or
other
water
bodies
that
are
regulated
by
the
city
shoreline
master
program.
There
are
standards
that
apply
to
those
types
of
structures
and
the
floodplain
regulations
do
not
change
those
standards
for
new
structures.
H
No
change
to
the
current
restriction
to
construct
structures
within
a
floodplain
unless
there
is
no
feasible
alternative,
so
the
city
does
have
very
tight
development
regulations
for
new
residential
development
in
floodplains,
which
require
dry
flood
proofing
of
structures,
and
this
is
still
the
case
if
the
proposed
Luca
were
adopted.
The
requirements
to
rebuild
or
replace
these
structures
will
remain
the
same
under
the
proposed
land
use
code
amendment
and
next
slide.
H
So
it
was
the
direct
mailing
notice
that
was
provided.
Staff
has
also
had
dialogue
with
stakeholders,
so
in
particular,
there
has
been
some
back-and-forth
communication
with
the
phantom
lake
homeowners
association,
as
well
as
a
meeting
with
whistle,
which
is
a
group
on
Lake
Sammamish,
the
Washington,
sensible,
shorelines
Association
to
discuss
the
code
and
the
scope
of
this
effort.
That
is
being
that
is
before
you
for
consideration
this
evening.
H
We've
also
had
contact
with
various
parties
that
have
reached
out
for
information
about
the
land
use
code
amendment
and
what
the
effect
is
on
their
properties,
and
those
comments
have
been
addressed
with
that
prior
slide.
And
lastly,
before
the
meeting
on
June
15th
staff
launched
a
website
to
provide
information
related
to
this
land
use
code.
Amendment
including
frequently
asked
questions
status
updates
on
the
Luca
progress.
The
strike
draft
amendment
was
made
available
as
well
and
the
pending
firms
and
FIS,
as
well
as
contact
information
for
public
comment.
H
H
Staff,
will
then
bring
the
Luca
the
Landy's
code,
amendment
to
the
EBC
C
on
August
4th
for
the
public
hearing
to
approve
or
disapprove
the
ordinance
and
failing
to
adopt.
The
amendments
by
the
August
19th
required
effective
date
would
jeopardize
the
city's
enrollment
status
in
the
National
Flood
Insurance
Program,
which
would
jeopardize
the
229
flood
insurance
policies
within
the
city
next
slide.
Please
and
now
I'll
turn
it
back
to
Mike.
So.
A
Okay,
I
think
we'll
go
ahead
and
move
to
the
public
hearing
and
hear
from
the
the
residents
and
then
we'll
have
a
discussion
after
that.
So
we're
gonna
have
a
motion
to
open
the
public
hearing
and
then
I'll
have
Charmaine
give
the
instructions
for
public
comment
public
testimony,
and
so
is
there
a
motion
to
open
the
public
hearing.
I
move.
I
B
B
B
J
Evening,
mayor
and
council
I'm
Marti
nicely
on
the
Bellevue
residents.
I
am
speaking
on
behalf
of
Washington,
sensible,
shorelines
Association.
Thank
you
for
holding
a
hearing
on
this
topic
tonight.
Last
week
we
were
able
to
provide
you
background
information
on
the
history
and
conditions
on
and
in
Lake
Sammamish
tonight,
I'd
like
to
address
our
concerns
on
the
code
changes
and
how
they
could
possibly
in
negatively
impact
Bellevue
resident
you've
been
asked
to
adopt
code
changes
and
with
them
new
flood
insurance
maps.
J
If,
in
several
years,
FEMA
were
to
update
their
flood
maps,
many
more
parcels
could
be
declared
flood
prone
on
the
surface.
You
might
assume
the
stipulations
in
the
code
would
benefit
residents
by
allowing
them
to
discount
a
discount
on
required.
Flood
insurance,
but
being
declared
flood
prone
will
affect
what
they
can
do
on
their
property
and
certainly
would
lead
to
reduced
property
values.
We
urge
the
council
to
assure
it
has
answers
to
key
questions.
Here
are
a
couple.
How
many
properties
would
be
impacted
if
the
flood
maps
were
based
on
today's
conditions?
J
How
many
properties
could
be
protected
by
better
management
of
the
Sammamish
River
flood
control
system
and
do
any
of
the
code
changes
go
beyond
FEMA's
minimum
requirements
and,
if
so,
why?
While
approving
the
code,
changes
might
appear
to
be
a
beneficial
measure,
the
downstream
implications
could
have
significant
detrimental
effects
on
many
bellevue
residents.
Bellevue
residents
are
assessed
more
than
six
million
dollars
per
year
for
County
flood
protection
constraints
to
Lake
outflow
have
artificially
raised
lake
levels.
J
B
Do
not
have
the
email
ready
to
read
it
in
the
desc
packet
and
is
available
in
the
council
at
box.
What
I
would
like
to
do
is
ask
if
there
are
any
other
members
of
the
public
connected
to
this
meeting.
That
would
like
to
speak,
who
did
not
have
an
opportunity
to
sign
up
and
if
you
could
use
the
raise
hand
function
if
you're,
connecting
via
a
computer
or
use
star
nine.
If
you
are
connected
with
a
telephone
and
thank
you,
I
see
one
additional
speaker,
Brian
Parkes.
Can
you
hear
me?
K
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
the
phantom
Lake
homeowners
association,
one
of
our
concerns
is
that
this
designates
as
frequently
flooded
areas
property.
That's
never
before
historically
flooded
on
phantom
Lakes.
The
floodplain
is
above
where
it's
ever
flooded.
In
the
past,
we've
complained
for
34
years.
That's
what
plane
designations
been
to
high
and
although
it
looks
like
it's
been
lowered,
or
at
least
pending
being
lowered,
point
8
feet.
We
feel
like
that.
It's
not
enough
to
actually
reflect
what
is
the
real
situation
here.
K
We've
been
artificially
elevated
with
our
lake
levels
by
a
weir
and
a
berm
put
in
by
the
city
since
1990,
and
that
was
only
recently
that
the
weir
boards
were
no
longer
put
in
the
past
four
years.
But
even
now
there
is
a
weird
structure
in
the
outlet
channel
to
the
east,
which
impedes
flow,
and
there
was
also
a
berman
place
that
was
18
inches
high.
K
B
C
A
Okay,
so
we'll
go
on
to
discussion
and
questions
I'm
going
to
call
on
people
in
this
order.
Councilmember
Barksdale
as
our
representative
on
the
King
County
Flood
Control,
District,
Advisory,
Committee,
councilmember,
Stokes,
councilmember,
Robertson,
council
member
lee
council
members
on
deputy
mayor,
a
new
house
and
then
me
so
we'll
start
with
councilmember
Barksdale
Thank
You
mayor.
L
So
just
a
couple
questions
for
a
staff:
it
sounds
like
the
concerns
around
property
value
or
it
sounds
like
those
issues
are
related
to
the
maps.
Can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
how
this
man
you
Scott
amendment
is
related
at
all
to
the
match
in
terms
of
are
we
making
any
changes
to
the
match?
Does
that
in
our
scope?
Anything
like
that.
F
H
So
the
as
mentioned
the
FEMA
firm
updates
they've,
it's
been
a
process,
that's
taken
some
time,
FEMA
and
and
as
far
as
that,
that
process
is
concerned
it
did
and
in
2018,
when
the
final
appeal
period
had
lapsed
and
once
the
final
maps
were
transmitted
to
the
city,
we're
now
with
the
action
of
having
to
adopt
those
final
maps.
So
there
this
land
use
code.
Amendment
does
not
change
those
maps
in
it
and
it
cannot
change
those
maps.
They
are
countywide
firms
that
are
considered
final.
L
Thanks
and
so
I
guess
just
a
few
comments
for
me,
given
that
the
purpose
of
the
the
flood
insurance
and
then
just
the
firm,
the
maps
and
so
forth,
are
to
minimize
risk
to
property
and
that
the
changes
to
the
maps
are
the
responsibility
of
FEMA.
It
sounds
like,
and
I
had,
given
the
risk
to
other
property
owners.
H
Fema
would
be
the
agency
as
you're,
noting
that
would
consider
any
changes
to
the
maps
and
so
community
members
individuals
can
can
petition
and
FEMA
through
their
own
process
to
to
amend
those
maps
and
and
adopting
these
maps.
As
adopting
these
final
Maps
does
not
change
that
outcome,
it
would
not
harm
any
future
application
to
change
the
the
firm
data
if
it
were
supported
properly
and
met
FEMA's
requirements.
H
M
Like
to
support
this
amendment
and
I
think
well,
we
don't
really.
The
part
of
the
fact
is.
We
don't
have
a
choice,
because
this
is
a
very
valuable
program.
We're
only
talking
about
a
couple
of
properties
that
have
questions
and
the
questions
really
or
not
that
germane
to
this
particular
decision
and
to
this
and
but
I
think
those
some
questions
have
been
raised.
That
I
hope
that
we
address
I've
been
working
with
both
of
these.
M
Both
these
individuals
in
the
groups
or
ever
since
I
came
on
council
and
even
back
with
the
parks
board,
and
you
know
that's
something.
We
can
certainly
focus
on
and
I
appreciate
their
raising
these
questions,
but
in
terms
of
making
the
decision
of
what
we're
doing
here,
I'm
in
favor
of
dumping,
liquor
process,
Thank.
D
Thanks
for
the
presentation
and
I
also
wanted
to
give
staff
a
big
shout
out,
because
I
asked
for
I
knew
that
there
would
be
people
concerned
about
this
process,
and
so
I
asked
them
to
do
a
lot
of
outreach.
I
asked
them
to
do
a
website
to
meet
with
groups
and
also
to
meet
with
council
members.
If
we
wanted
and
to
answer
a
lot
of
questions
that
I
put
on
the
record,
and
they
did
that
they
did
all
of
that
and
I
know
that
that
was
a
lot
of
work.
H
And-
and
you
are
correct-
we
did
respond
to
that
in
the
outcome
section.
So
the
requirements
to
rebuild
or
replace
structures
that
are
in
a
floodplain
will
remain
under
the
the
proposal
and
use
code
amendment.
So
it
is
still
possible
to
do
that
so
that
that
that
is
not
unavailable
to
our
residents
right.
D
So
they
can
still
replace
and
repair
and
expand
yes
structures.
So
if
the
flood
plain
Maps,
which
of
course
Bellevue
didn't
create,
result
in
a
property
being
added
to
the
floodplain,
are
they
they're
still
able
to
do
things
with
there?
And
we
didn't
find
that
to
be
the
case?
Didn't
we,
we
didn't
find
any
new
properties
or
new
structures
to
be
in
the
floodplain
from
the
prior
to
the
new
right.
That.
D
So
those
are
the
questions.
I
really
have
I
didn't
want
to
make
sure
that
we
were
inadvertently
stopping
someone
from
being
able
to
house
to
expand
their
house
to
use
their
property
as
they
could
before
these
new
regulations
and
everything
I've
learned
about
them,
is
that
it
does
not
impact
people's
ability
to
use
their
property
if
they
could
do
it
before
these
regulations
were
in
place.
Even
if
a
floodplain
changed,
they
could
still
do
it
after
these
regulations
are
in
place,
and
so
that
gives
me
a
lot
of
comfort
and
I
really
appreciate.
D
N
You,
madam
mayor
I,
do
understand
and
sympathize
with
the
property
owners
of
their
concern
of
the
value
of
property
value
if
it's
included
in
the
floodplain
in
the
Mac
I
think
the
question
the
concern
is
with
map
and
I
appreciate
the
council
member
boxty,
who
asked
that
question,
and
so
the
answer
was,
you
know
what
we
had
we're
doing
today.
Well,
as
to
do
council
really
doesn't
affect
the
map
itself,
so
it's
a
separate
action,
so
I
guess
the
way
I.
N
Would
you
know
because
of
the
benefit
of
insurance
and
obviously
it's
part
of
the
process?
It's
a
good
plan.
It's
prove
it.
However.
I
would
ask
the
staff
two
questions.
One
is
since
we
are
given
the
opportunity
to
do
this,
so
there
seems
to
be
an
opportunity,
even
though
the
map
is
made
by
FEMA.
Can
we
do
we
have
the
opportunity?
Can
we
do
on
behalf
of
our
residents
because
they
are
affected?
The
property
value
may
be
affected
to
raise
this
as
a
question.
Okay,
because
we
should
should
work
on
behalf
of
our
residents.
N
That's
one
question.
Second,
if
we
cannot,
the
question,
then,
is:
what
can
the
residents
do?
Maybe
there's
some
help.
We
can
give
them
what
they
can
address.
The
question
with
FEMA
directly
and
I
think
that's.
These
are
the
two
things.
Okay,
so
I
want
to
know
what
what
does
the
staff
feel
think
number
ones
do
we
have
opportunity
because
we'll
work
on
this,
you
know
without
delaying
this
process.
Obviously
we
have
to
meet
the
deadline.
N
F
Thank
you
for
your
questions,
counselor
really
and
recognizing.
We
do
have
a
timeline
that
we're
on.
As
far
as
the
residents
are
concerned,
we
have,
as
mr.
Wickham
noted
already
I've,
been
in
contact
with
several
of
the
residents
and
organizations
that
have
been
that
have
expressed
an
interest
and
have
really
appreciated
the
conversations
we
are
always
there
to
help
them
with
answering
questions,
provide
some
guidance,
contact,
information
for
FEMA,
etc,
so
that
that
is
certainly
always
available
to
residents
of
the
city.
Should
the
council
want
to
take
a
more
active
role.
F
Here
is
a
bigger
question
that
would
require
the
council
to
provide
direction,
to
staff,
to
really
initiate
studies
and
engage
with
FEMA
and
residents,
which
is
a
more
significant
undertaking.
So
it
would
require
quite
a
bit
of
time
and
probably
some
money
to
engage
in
work
to
enhance
the
data
or
the
information
that
female
use.
It
might
result
in
a
change
in
the
maps
for
modification
to
the
maps,
but
that
process
certainly
is
available
for
the
residents
as
well.
So
we
would
need
council
direction
on
that
on
that.
F
N
You
Miss
Brennan
for
asking
that
for
answering
that
appreciate
it
and
I
think
that
would
to
me
seem
to
be
maybe
a
separate
issue.
We
can
talk
to
the
residents
if
they
serve
peas,
daya
so
I
will
not.
You
know,
so
just
leave
it
that
way.
We
don't
have
time
to
address
at
this
moment.
Finally,
because
what
she
was
just
raised
since
the
map
has
been
changed,
you
know
it's
it's
a
supposed
to
be
existing
map,
but
it
was
changed
some
time
back
when
FEMA
made
that
change.
What
was
the
process
they
use?
N
They
did
not
have
to
talk
to
the
residents
and
whether
the
I'll
bring
it
up,
because
the
residents
may
want
to
and
themselves
to
look
into
the
process
that
made
that
change
and
and
see
what
impact
it
has
made
to
the
residents.
You
know
whether,
in
fact
their
fear
has
been
realized
because
the
property
value
has
been
affected,
I
don't
know,
but
it's
a
separate
issue,
that's
an
issue
that
might
mention.
Maybe
you
know
if
we
concert
decide
so
worthwhile.
N
O
Thank
you.
I
want
to
thank
staff
for
doing
the
extra
research
and
outreach
I
appreciated
reading
about
the
the
brief
that
answered
the
questions
that
we
had,
because
the
previous
briefing
we
launched
four
at
that
time,
just
how
many
Bellevue
party
owners
actually
had
this
flood
insurance
to
make
sure
that
what
we
were
doing
in
terms
of
aligning
our
land-use
code
with
the
latest
FEMA
requirements
actually
were
supporting
Bellevue
residents
and
their
properties
for
for
this
flood
insurance.
O
So
it
looks
like
we
do
have
what
appears
to
be
229
policies
in
in
Bellevue
for
flood
insurance,
so
I
appreciate
this
work.
It
can
be
challenging
to
make
sure
that
all
of
the
minimum
requirements
are
being
met.
I
do
want
to
ask
or
confirm
that,
in
light
of
the
comments
that
we've
received
about
making
sure
that
we
are
only
modifying
the
land
use
code
for
the
minimum
requirements
to
still
satisfy
FEMA,
that
that
is
all
that's
in
our
recommended
code
revisions.
H
O
Thank
you
for
that,
and
then
the
other
one
is
the
conversation
earlier
about
advocacy
with
FEMA.
So
it
looks
like
both
speakers.
One
spoke
about
Lake
Sammamish
and
one
phantom
Lake
had
some
concerns
about
the
way
that
FEMA
might
be
looking
at
calculation
of
flooding
and
events,
as
well
as
the
base
flood
elevation.
So
those
are
things
we
can
monitor,
because
I
understand
that
staff
has
provided
some
contacts
for
FEMA
for
the
neighborhood
homeowner
association
to
reach.
Is
that
correct?
So
we
are
providing
some
support
already?
Yes,.
F
Yes,
that's
yes,
we
have,
and
again
we've
been
in
touch
with
FEMA,
as
we've
gone
through
the
development
of
the
land
use
code
amendment
to
ensure
that
we
had
not
going
beyond
the
minimum
that
was
necessary,
but
achieved
what
was
needed
to
maintain
our
classification
and
ability
to
maintain
our
participation
in
the
National
Flood
Insurance
Program.
So
certainly
like
I
mentioned
in
my
previous
response
to
councilman
reliefs
question
we're
there
to
help
people
help
guide
people
to
the
right
people
and
to
the
right
process
to
make
the
changes
that
they
are
advocating
for.
Okay,.
O
Well,
I
appreciate
that,
because
I
think
it
is
challenging
to
look
at
a
map
and
codes
that
may
create
more
challenges,
although
I
will
say
that
I
think
we've
all
seen
that
our
weather
patterns
and
our
extreme
flood
events
seem
to
be
becoming
a
lot
more
frequent
than
then
in
past
years.
So
it's
a
concern.
Thank
you
for
doing
that
work
with
getting
the
luca
updated.
Thank
you
thank.
C
You
mayor
first
Mike
Trishna
Nick.
Thank
you
for
the
great
work
really
appreciate
all
the
work
you
did,
especially
in
response
to
our
comments
and
questions
by
my
colleagues
so
also
appreciate
the
extensive
outreach
that
that
happened
here
really
appreciate
that
as
well
and
happy
to
move
this
forward
as
a
city
continues
to
be
eligible
for
the
federal
flood
disaster
aid.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
N
Yes,
I
would
want
to
do
that.
Of
course
we
need
to
do
it
responsibility.
That
means.
Maybe
the
staffing
give
us
a
you
know,
quick,
quick
feedback.
We
based
on
what
they
heard
from
us,
and
then
we
can
make
what,
with
with
information,
okay,
whatever
information
the
staff
might
provide
us,
we
can
make
a
definitive
recommendation
what
to
do,
but
I
would
suggest
that's.
Looking
to
that,
you
see
what
we
can
do.
Thank
you.
Mike.
F
We
we
can
certainly
bring
some
additional
information
back
to
the
council,
because
advocating
can
have
a
wide
range
of
meaning
here.
If
you
want
us
to
actually
work
to
pull
together
technical
information
and
then
you
know,
work
with
FEMA
to
try
and
advance
changes
to
the
flood
maps,
that's
a
fairly
significant
undertaking
that
would
require
dollars
for
studies,
etc.
F
We
can
certainly
connect
with
FEMA
and
and
kind
of
support
the
neighborhood
groups
that
are
in
the
neighbors
of
property
owners
that
are
pushing
for
change,
because
obviously
they
have
a
lot
of
information
that
they
can
bring
as
well.
To
that
conversation,
it
really
depends
on
how
in
front
you
would
like
us
to
be
and
how
much
information
you
want
us
to
prepare
to
try
to
advocate
for
a
change
again.
Fema
is
the
technical
expertise
in
establishing
those
floodplain
elevations.
F
A
I
guess
my
my
only
question
and
I
know
you
kind
of
answered
this,
but
I
wasn't
entirely
clear.
You're
talking
about
these
maps,
laughs
done
and
updated
in
2018,
but
are
what
are?
These
is
the
data?
Is
it
based
on
1995
data,
or
is
they
actually
2018
data,
or
even
more
current,
that
they're
using
to
make
these
decisions
yeah.
H
A
Just
want
to
I
just
be
curious
as
to
know
what
data
they're,
using,
if
they're,
using
more
recent
data
or,
if
they're,
using
data
from
further
back
because
it
does
seem
like
the
environment-
has
changed
significantly
since
1995
I.
Don't
want
to
slow
this
process
down,
though
so
I
would
like
to
move
forward
with
this,
but
I
would
also
like
to
kind
of
help.
The
community
get
the
correct
data
to
FEMA
so
that
they
have
the
most
current
data
to
work
with
at
least
at
least
2018
data.
A
If
that's
possible,
so
you're
saying
that
you
could
come
back
with
that
I,
don't
it's
not
going
to
be
a
deal
breaker
for
me.
That's
like
an
additional
thing,
so
I
I'm
ready
to
vote
for
this.
But
maybe
you
could
come
back
to
us
next
week
and
tell
us
what
we
can
do
to
support
the
the
accurate
data
so.
F
What
I
might
suggest,
then,
is
we
it'll,
probably
take
us
a
little
bit
more
than
a
week,
but
we
can
reach
out
to
FEMA
and
bring
our
other
experts
on
staff
that
are
a
little
more
familiar
with
the
flood
management
things,
because
obviously
the
city,
as
was
noted
in
owns
a
number
of
these
properties
too.
So
we
do
pay
attention
to
this
as
well
to
understand
exactly
what
information
FEMA
used
and
then
also
what
information
FEMA
would
need
if
they
were
to
consider
amending
the
maps
from
their
most
recently
updated
form.
F
A
M
The
two
things
are
separate
I
and
delaying.
We
can't
delay
this,
so
we've
got
to
take
action
next
week.
We
could
take
action
tonight
because
the
flood
plain
Maps
are
not
significant
change
this
and
we
don't
approve
this
FEMA's
not
going
to
be
talking
to
this
anyhow.
So
I
think
it's
a
good
idea
to
work
with
them
and
see
what
can
be
done
with
the
maps
and
while
they
affect
things,
but
that's
a
separate
issue
from
whether
we
adopt
DeLuca
now
and
meet
the
deadline.
So
I
read.
M
Vote
for
that
and
I
also
support
the
effort,
which
will
take
some
time
to
look
at
the
map
and
see
if
it's
just
cosmetic
changes
or
if
there
any
significant
changes
that
need
to
be
made,
and
that
probably
is
going
to
be
not
a
few
weeks
process
but
I
months
or
years
process
when
it
comes
down
to
it.
So
I
think
we
just
have
to
keep
those
two
things
separate
and
let's
focus
on
the
business
now
and
pass
through
Luka
and
then
really
press
on
this
other.
A
D
D
So
if
staff
can
get
information
on
the
27th
and
present
it
when
this
is
on
our
agenda,
that'd
be
great,
but
if,
if
the
advocacy
with
FEMA
can't
happen
before
we
consider
that
it
should
still
happen
so
I'm
supportive
of
of
doing
both
if
they
can
time
up
together
great.
If
not,
then
we
still
should
do
both,
but
we
need
to
pass
this
by
the
end
of
July
yeah.
O
O
We
need
to
do
the
advocacy,
but
to
think
that
we're
going
to
get
something
with
two
within
two
weeks,
I
think
is
unrealistic
and
I
might
recommend
to
staff
that
might
reach
out
to
some
other
cities,
because
there
may
be
others
that
are
going
through
the
same
thing
and
if
any
of
them
have
had
success
with
advocating
with
FEMA
to
modify
or
update
their
Maps.
This
may
be
an
effort
that
we
could
do
together
so
that
more
of
us
are
holding
the
carrying
the
water
instead
of
us
doing
all
the
work.
So
that
would
be.
C
I'm
still
in
favor
of
moving
this
for
tonight,
I
agree
with
council
members
on
FEMA
doesn't
work
like
that
or
doesn't
work
that
quickly
and
certainly
I
think
we
it's
important
to
continue
that
advocacy
and
continue
to
work
with
with
FEMA,
but
I
think
we
need
to
continue
to
to
move
forward
if
we're
still
able
to
get
an
update
by
staff
and
a
couple
of
weeks
great,
but
certainly
don't
want
to
miss
this
deadline.
So
that's
where
I
stand
so.
A
C
A
A
N
C
E
Sure
Thank
You,
mayor
and
council
members,
the
first
item
in
front
of
you
this
evening,
is
a
link
East
Link,
light
rail
construction
update
and
just
by
way
of
background
construction
on
the
link
has
been
underway
for
a
number
of
years
and
council
recent
has
received
a
number
of
updates.
Since
then.
This
is
a
more
recent
one
for
you
I'm
happy
to
report
that
we
are
nearing
75%
completion
of
the
East
Link
instruction.
E
Complaints
have
really
been
at
a
minimum,
at
least
based
on
my
experience
and
what
I've
been
seeing
through
the
email
in
part
due
to
just
the
great
work
of
the
staff
on
collaboration
between
the
city
of
Albion,
Sound
Transit
tonight's
session
is
informational
and
no
Direction
is
being
requested
by
the
council.
Joining
us
this
evening
are
is.
H
E
P
You
for
that
good
evening,
mayor
Robinson's
and
that'll
be
mayor,
new
and
House
Council
members.
First,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
present
to
you
both
the
status
update
on
the
East
Link
projects
and
the
maintenance
facilities.
As
Brad
mentioned,
it's
been
great
progress
since
last
updated
the
council,
which
was
on
February
2019
before
we
start
I,
want
to
thank
Sound,
Transit
leadership
and
staff
for
taking
the
time
from
their
very
busy
schedule
and
putting
together
this
presentation
for
you
with
that
I'm
going
to
introduce
Sound
Transit
staff.
P
We
have
couple
members
here:
you
can
move
to
next
slide,
please
John
Michaels.
He
is
the
deputy
executive
project
director
on
the
operation
and
maintenance
facilities
ease
and
also
we
have.
We
were
supposed
to
have
Mike
Bell,
who
was
the
executive
project
director
on
a
link
project.
Unfortunately,
he
is
not
feeling
well,
but
I
believe
he's
watching
us
and
he's
watching
the
presentation,
but,
along
with
that,
we
have
John
Lebow,
who
was
the
deputy
executive
project
director
from
Sound
Transit
here
to
give
us
an
update
on
the
East
Link
project.
P
Q
Well,
thank
you
maater
good
evening,
mayor
Robinson
members
of
council.
My
name
is
John
Michaels,
a
project
director
with
Sound
Transit
for
the
office
of
the
main
facilities
next
slide.
Please
thank
you.
I
want
to
thank
you
this
evening
for
allowing
us
a
time
to
provide
you
an
update
on
our
progress.
Sound
Transit
and
our
design-builder
Hensel
Phelps
have
made
on
the
Opera
and
a
facility
East.
This
is
an
essential
regional
facility
supporting
the
delivery
of
the
sound
transit
to
expansion
of
light
rail
throughout
the
region.
Q
Q
Q
The
operations
of
main
facility
East
will
store,
maintained
and
deploy
up
to
96
light
rail
vehicles
supporting
the
hundred
and
fifty
two
additional
vehicles
that
are
currently
being
delivered
to
expand
our
fleet
to
serve
the
East
link
ribbon
link
as
and
all
that
released,
Sound
Transit,
St
expansion
projects,
the
OMF
East
is
a
three
hundred
and
seventy
nine
point.
Two
million
dollar
total
project
budget,
of
which
220
million
dollar
design-build
contract,
was
awarded
to
Hensel
Phelps
back
in
2017.
Q
So
we
do
have
management
staff
and
the
driver
report
functions
and
these
types
of
things
and
then
on
the
right-hand
side
of
that
is
a
drive-through
wash
Bay.
The
vehicles
get
washed
daily
and
inspected
periodically
and
then
the
trackway.
To
the
left
hand,
side
is
the
storage
yard,
where
we
can
store
up
to
96
vehicles
in
for
car
consus.
The
primary
employee
parking
is
and
main
entrances
to
the
north
of
the
site,
away
from
the
southern
end
of
the
site.
Q
Son
are
under
the
site,
which
has
just
kept
it
here
with
some
of
those
storage
boxes
has
been
used
for
lay
down
during
the
course
of
construction,
and
that's
where
all
the
jobsite
trailers
are,
but
we're
actually
preparing
to
vacate
that
site
and
move
into
the
existing
facility
under
a
TCO
and
that
will
free
up
the
extra
land
for
potential
surplus,
a
which
is
a
key
element
in
delivering
the
OMF
in
our
partnership
with
bellevue,
was
facilitating
a
transitorium
development
opportunity
with
the
surplus
property
next
slide.
Please.
Q
Q
The
first
light
rail
vehicle
should
be
transported
by
truck
because,
again,
we're
not
connected
with
an
operating
rail
line
yet
to
our
operating
base
in
Seattle,
we'll
be
transported
by
truck
from
downtown
Seattle
to
the
light
rail
facility
to
support
testing
and
commissioning
of
the
yard.
We
expect
substantial
completion
in
September
of
this
year
and
that
will
make
the
facility
available,
of
course,
to
support
East.
Think
testing
is
startup,
which
Jon
will
speak
to
later,
but
also
the
ongoing
large
contract.
We
have
for
the
elite
expansion,
the
152
vehicles.
Q
Please
a
bit
of
a
schedule,
of
course,
going
back
to
2016
really
with
the
implementation
agreement.
This
was
an
agreement
with
the
city,
as
once
we
decided
on
a
design-build
delivery
method
about
how
we
could
move
forward
both
the
Tod
ambition
with
the
city,
as
well
as
our
design-build
delivery
method
for
the
OMF,
which
was
necessitated
by
the
by
the
timing
of
the
need
for
this
facility
by
the
LRV
deliveries.
Q
Now
this
built
on
our
amended
and
restated
MoU
from
2015,
but
the
implementation
agreement
initiated
the
procurement
which
the
city
did
participate
in
and
selecting
the
highest
qualified,
not
lowest
price
but
highest
qualified
design-build
team
and
that
collaboration
which
I
do
want
to
take
them.
Take
a
moment
to
say
we
couldn't
have
done
this
without
the
the
close
collaboration
with
city
staff.
Q
They
someone
may
have
passed
since
then,
but
we've
continued
to
have
a
great
working
relationship
with
the
building
department
throughout
the
process
and
look
forward
to
concluding
that
this
fall
as
we
become
a
neighbor
and
that's
highlighted
by
the
the
red
star
occupancy
they're
using
I
can
see
at
the
end
of
this
year,
then
there's
a
period
of
startup
and
that
that
is
the
transition
period.
If
you
will,
as
East
Link,
is
coming
online
and
approaching
their
final
commissioning.
Q
This
facility
will
support
those
activities
but
will
also
start
ramping
up
the
training
of
new
staff
that
would
be
hired
and
it
will
support
the
fleet
build
up,
and
so
over
that
whole
period,
more
LR
B's
will
be
delivered
to
this
facility,
as
our
yard
in
Seattle
reaches
its
capacity
with
the
opening
of
north
gate
link,
which
is
about
104
vehicles
in
downtown
Seattle.
Next
slide,
please
just
to
walk
you
through
some
more
interesting
images,
I
guess
of
a
construction
underway.
Q
We
have
rail
welding
on
the
left-hand
side
and
then
the
completed
rail
yard
on
the
right-hand
side.
This
is
a
view
looking
south
along
the
east
side,
rail
corridor,
which
would
be
over
by
the
tree
area.
You
see
the
AutoNation
new
garage
facility
constructed
there,
but
this
would
be
the
direction
of
deployment
every
morning
as
the
vehicle
fleet
heads
out
into
the
system
along
East
link.
All
the
way
up
to
languidly
I
did
put
this
fact
up
here.
Q
Yard
has
over
five
miles
of
track
that
doesn't
sound
like
a
lot,
but
I
did
want
to
point
out
that
East
Link
is
in
total
14
miles
of
track.
The
only
difference
being
that
we
laid
our
five
miles
of
track
on
23
acres
up
once
on
one
site,
making
it
a
fair
bit
easier
to
to
install
next
like
please
now
some
views
of
the
OMF
building
itself,
on
the
left
hand,
side
the
large
bay
doors
by
folding
doors
that
allow
the
hotel
rvs
to
enter
the
facility
for
maintenance.
Q
The
center
view
is
a
service
service
mezzanine.
So
we
have
access
within
the
facility
to
below
the
vehicle
along
the
vehicle
of
the
vehicle.
May
the
abilities
to
lift
the
vehicles
take
them
apart
and
in
on
the
right
hand,
side
in-ground,
turntables,
that
once
we
lift
vehicle,
we
can
move
the
wheels
and
do
all
sorts
of
maintenance
like
that
that
allow
for
vibration,
free
or
vibration,
control,
noise
control
make
sure
everything
is
all
chewed
up,
but
it's
everything
short
of
painting
can
be
done
on
the
east
side.
Q
Q
The
project
did
include
one
percent
for
art
component.
This
was
realized
and
actually
installed
in
2019,
and
that
was
necessitated
by
the.
It
was
much
easier
before
we
constructed
the
rail
yard
to
locate
the
nails.
This
this
freestanding,
sculpture
is
aligned
for
about
478
feet
along
the
east
trail
east
rail
corridor
east
trail
and
has
been
really
enjoyed
by
folks
using
our
interim
trail
during
construction
since
about
spring
of
last
year,
or
so
these
range
in
height,
I
believe
up
to
as
high
as
I
think
35
feet.
Q
M
Q
Q
Q
Light
rail
vehicles,
of
course
you
know
this,
as
I
mentioned
before-
was
a
bit
of
a
race
between
the
two
contracts,
the
image
to
the
right-hand
side,
and
these
come
wrapped.
So
this
is
the
new
LRV
first
LRV
over
150
to
car
order
arriving
last
fall
to
our
facility
in
seattle
as
it's.
Currently,
we
have
about
20
new
vehicles
in
some
form
of
commissioning
at
the
kissing
yard
and
we'll
be
receiving
building
the
fleet
to
214
from
our
current
68
over
the
next
three
years.
Q
Q
Q
Of
course,
as
we
navigated
the
governor's
orders
and
an
unfortunate
milestone
just
today,
I
understand
we
had
our
first
job
site
diagnosis
of
a
kovat
employee,
but
we
are
taking
all
the
we
have
plans
in
place,
good
worker
safety
and
monitoring
across
all
trades
and
everyone
who
shows
up
on
site.
We
have
approximately
215
trades
people
on
any
given
day
working
at
their
own
that
East
site,
as
we
of
course
bring
the
facility
into
operations.
Q
We
are,
there
may
be
unforeseen
issues
or
needs
that
arise
so
we'll
try
to
address
those
during
commissioning
and
then
training
and
training
of
staff.
Hiring
a
staff,
particularly
in
a
COBIT
environment,
will
be
probably
our
next
challenge.
Over
the
coming
months
or
years,
I
should
say:
I.
Think
I
spoke
to
the
next
step,
temporary
certificate
of
occupancy.
Again,
that's
necessitated
by
trying
to
vacate
the
Tod
property
and
move
the
current
construction
staff
into
the
into
the
buildings,
so
we
can
tidy
up
that
for
the
for
the
Tod
procuring.
Q
We
have
some
actions
coming
before
Council.
This
fall
I
believe
in
September,
and
these
would
be
things
such
as
establishing
or
extinguishing
utility
easements
of
city-owned
utilities
that
supports
a
facility
we're
working
on
those
at
the
moment,
and
then
we
expect
substantial
completion
and
the
certificate
of
occupancy
and
September
October
of
this
year
and
then,
of
course,
as
I
said,
Sound
Transit
staff
in
King
County,
our
contractor
will
take
over
operations
of
the
facility
in
the
fourth
quarter
of
this
year.
Next.
E
Q
R
Thank
you
John.
This
is
Charlie
Boehm,
the
deputy
project
director
for
these
link
extension
projects
good
evening,
Mary,
Robinson
and
councilmembers
same
thing:
I
want
to
cover
the
East
link
extension
project.
As
you
know,
it
connects
in
the
downtown
at
the
International
District
station.
You
may
recall
the
2020
connector
2020
project,
where
we
actually
constructed
the
new
switches
that
would
move
the
trains
from
the
central
extension
to
the
Eastlake
extension
project.
B-Sleek
extension
project
covers
about
14,
minute
miles
and
10
stations.
This
evening's
presentation
will
focus
mostly
on
the
Bellevue
downtown
segment.
Next
slide.
R
R
It
has
some
work
now,
but
most
of
its
work
will
progress
in
2021
and
then
in
2022
is
when
the
revenue
service
starts
and
that
during
that
time
is
the
testing
of
this
system.
We
hope
that
goes
well.
As
John
mentioned,
our
revenue
service
date
planned
is
September
of
2023,
but,
as
you'll
see,
there's
a
significant
amount
of
float
that
we've
built
into
the
schedule.
We
have
about
12
months
of
the
float
in
the
schedule.
From
our
experience,
we
know
that
we
need
to
set
aside
float
to
handle
issues
or
delays
that
may
occur.
R
You
do
anticipate
that
some
of
the
float
will
be
used
this
time.
We
just
don't
know
how
much
as
John
mentioned,
covered
19
as
an
example
of
a
risk
that
may
occur
to
our
schedule
and
our
projects.
We
have
noticed
that,
with
code
19,
we
have
a
slower
construction
that
has
had
some
impact
on.
The
schedule
is
trying
to
mention.
R
We
are
working
closely
with
our
contractors
to
maintain
a
safe
work
environment
as
part
of
that
effort,
the
contractors
and
workers
when
they
write
on-site,
need
to
get
their
temperature
taken,
and
then
we
get
recorded
so
that
we
can
do
contact
tracing
if
needed
that
somebody
gets
sick.
Unfortunately,
we
have
had
on
several
workers,
get
stick
from
Cova
19,
but
all
have
recovered
or
are
in
the
recovery
stage.
That's
why.
R
This
is
the
first
station.
If
you
go
east
on
Judkins
park
station,
it
is
probably
our
longest
station.
It
struggles
ringing
their
Avenue
south
from
the
west
side
to
jet
convert
on
the
wet
East
Side
at
both
locations.
You
can
see
that
we
have
elevators
to
access
the
platform
levels
from
the
street
level
next
slide.
R
Here
you
can
see
the
Mercer
Island
station.
It
is
quite
visible
from
seventy
seventh
Avenue
South
East
in
the
80th
Avenue
South
East,
where
you
can
enter
the
station
from
either
the
west
or
the
East
End's.
Well,
it's
quite
visible
above
down
below.
It
is
very
peaceful
and
quiet
because
we
have
constructed
significant
amount
of
sound
barrier
walls
on
both
sides
of
the
track
to
separate
it
from
the
freeway
traffic
noise.
R
B
R
We
think
that
the
systems
work
might
be
able
to
be
completed
in
the
first
or
second
quarter
of
next
year
and
so
we're
evaluating
if
we
can
open
the
garage
at
that
time.
Some
of
the
considerations
is
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
secure
and
safe
pass
halfway
from
the
garage
to
the
transit
loop,
so
we'll
be
looking
about
how
we
can
do
that
safely.
R
Next
slide,
please
here
you
can
see
some
of
the
trench
work.
That's
going
along
southeast
buggy
way.
This
is
it
the
winners
house
where
we
have
the
fuzz
that
crossing
the
track
on
the
left.
You
can
see
the
direct
fixated
track
and
then
on
the
right.
You
can
see
the
ballast
track.
That's
proceeding
north
towards
downtown
Bellevue
along
northeast
212
next
line.
R
So
as
your
coach
downtown
Bellevue
along
northeast
112,
you
can
see
some
of
the
ongoing
work
there
with
the
landscape
work.
That's
going
on
behind
the
track,
as
you
may
have
seen,
we
are
nearly
complete
with
the
road
/
rail,
overpass
and
part
of
the
restoration
work.
That's
going
on
southeast
Bellevue
this
summer.
One
of
the
questions
we
thought
was:
when
are
we
going
to
finish
with
the
sort
of
traffic
impacts
that
are
occurring
here
on
top
W
and
other
places?
Most
of
our
traffic
impact
work
will
be
done
this
summer.
R
The
East
Main
station
is
in
an
A
grade
station,
so
you
can
see
the
skeleton
of
the
structure
for
the
class
canopies
that
protect
the
passengers
at
the
station.
You
can
see
the
landscape
work,
that's
going
on
and
the
sand
walls
that
separate
the
Sun
transit
station
tracks
from
the
nearby
residence.
That's
nice.
R
So
here
is
your
approach
downtown.
You
can
see
the
South
portal
on
the
Left.
One
of
the
interesting
things
is
the
amount
of
interest
structure
that
goes
in
to
support
these
rails.
So
all
of
these
conduits
are
electrical
systems
to
support
the
transit
system.
As
it
goes
to
the
tone,
the
tunnel
itself
is
substantially
complete
and
on
the
right
you
can
see
an
earlier
picture
showing
the
construction
of
the
interior
demising
wall
that
separates
the
east
and
westbound
tracks.
R
The
work
is
going
on
now
as
the
installation
of
the
direct
fixated
track,
as
well
as
the
electrical
and
fire
sprinkler
systems.
The
ventilation
systems
for
the
tunnel
will
follow
this,
follow
with
installation
of
10
large
exhaust
fans
that
are
designed
to
blow
in
an
emergency
air
in
either
direction
and
separately
for
each
tunnel.
So
it's
a
one
of
the
most
important
fire
features
of
this
tunnel
as
well
as
the
core
system
that's
installed
in
the
tunnel.
Next,
my
taste,
here's
the
downtown
Bellevue
station
on
the
left.
R
You
can
see
the
North
portal,
and
this
is
the
end
of
the
tunnel
as
it's
gone
through
downtown
above
it
will
be
constructing
a
large
glass
canopy
that
extends
out
to
the
Bellevue
Plaza
that
projects
the
passengers
as
they
arrived
at
the
ticket.
Vending
machines
and
then
on
the
right.
You
can
see
the
stairs
cascading
down.
We
have
stairs
escalators
and
elevators
on
each
side
of
the
tracks,
so
this
location,
you're,
standing
between
the
east
and
westbound
tracks
facing
the
North
Portal
2
to
the
west.
R
This
is
probably
our
most
complicated
station
and
it's
complicated
by
all
of
the
mechanical
electrical
exhaust
systems
that
are
needed
to
provide
the
fire
life
safety
systems
for
the
tunnel
itself.
Next
slide,
please
it's
light
on
the
left.
You
can
see
the
remainder
of
the
platform
as
it
goes
to
the
east.
You
into
see
some
of
the
structural
systems
that
are
going
up
to
provide
the
canopies.
R
It's
glass
tops
to
productive
commuters
as
they're
waiting
for
the
trains
to
arrive
in
a
distance
is
the
405
over
crossing
and
on
the
right
side
you
can
begin
to
sink
part
of
the
405
over
cross
as
it
goes
across
high
405
and
then
in
the
far
distance
is
the
will
Burton
station
right
next
to
both
foods.
The
construction
of
the
overpass
across
I
for
a
five
took
a
lot
of
integration.
R
Coordination
with
washed-out
and
their
staff
and
I
really
want
to
highlight
the
efforts
that
the
Bellevue,
Transportation
and
building
department
have
done
to
facilitate
our
construction
booths
at
our
stations
and
at
the
area
work
that
we
did
across
405
Bellevue
of
Transportation
didn't
absolutely
fabulous
and
in
helping
us
actually
close,
four
or
five
on
two
different
weekends
to
allow
us
to
remove
the
false
worth
that
was
used
to
support
the
concrete
structure
as
it
crossed
over
by
four
or
five.
That's
fine,
please!
R
Here
it
will
return
station.
It's
an
aerial
station
adjacent
to
Northeast,
8th
Street
and
then
on
to
the
left
is
Whole
Foods
the
left
line.
You
can
see
the
new
Sturdevant
Creek
that
connects
like
Bellevue
to
the
remainder
of
the
infrastructure,
but
then
flows
out
happy
to
say
that
we
made
the
connection
to
Lake
Bovie
last
week
and
the
water
is
flowing
in
the
right
direction.
R
The
sides
will
be
landscaped
and
then
on
the
left
side,
which
looks
mostly
like
dirt
right
now,
will
be
the
beginnings
of
the
new
ramp
that
forms
the
overpass
as
part
of
King
County's
construction
of
the
overpass
on
Northeast,
8th
Street.
As
part
of
the
east,
rail
I
want
to
say,
it's
been
a
really
terrific
coordination
collaboration
with
King
County
and
assistance
from
Bellevue
as
part
of
that
design
and
construction.
R
So,
as
part
of
this
work,
we
actually
reinforce
the
soils
on
the
embankments
on
the
west
side
to
help
support
the
new
overpass
that
King
County
is
constructing
on
the
right.
You
can
see
the
East
trail
as
it
goes
north
towards
the
Gotham
East
and,
as
John
mentioned
as
you
look
north,
this
is
where
the
trains
arrive
each
night
to
go
into
OFM
East.
R
The
right
side
is
the
automation
parking
garage.
So
you
can
get
a
sense
of
reference
about
how
this
connects
with
the
ofme
project.
That's
like
this
here
we're
at
North,
East
hundred
twelve
station
I'm.
Sorry
northeast
120th
station.
It's
an
all
below
grade
station,
so
you
can
see
here
that
these
bound
tracks
on
the
right
and
the
westbound
tracks
on
the
left.
So
the
passenger
platforms
run
on
both
sides
with
some
covered
area,
with
the
plaza
on
top
of
the
plaza.
The
access
to
the
station
are
through
these
two
head
houses.
R
Next,
one
I
want
to
talk
a
little
about
the
opportunities
that
are
afforded
as
a
result
of
transit-oriented
developments,
so
the
construction
here
of
the
hundred
and
twentieth
station,
which
is
an
earlier
photograph
where
you
can
begin
to
see
some
of
the
excavation
that's
going
on
there.
In
addition
to
all
of
the
development
that's
going
on
re
eyes,
headquarters
are
nearly
complete.
Facebook's
building
is
entering
its
final
stages.
This
was
really
a
collaboration
of
a
lot
of
different
organization
entities,
municipalities
and
contractors
to
make
this
a
successful
project.
R
R
This
really
represented
a
great
collaboration
amongst
all
the
various
contractors,
but
the
completion
of
the
northeast
124th
overpass.
We
are
now
able
to
walk
from
the
International
District
station
to
the
Redmond
Technology
station,
which
is
about
40
minute
miles.
Very
long
walk
next
slide,
please
so
Sound
Transit
is
not
for
a
lot
of
its
aerial
work
at
the
Northeast
hundred
thirtieth
station.
This.
It
also
isn't
that
great
station,
well,
the
a
great
stations
have
less
complexity,
doesn't
mean
that
they
themselves
are
less
complex
in
order
to
construct.
R
So
many
of
the
challenges
that
we
had
and
you
can
see
on
the
right
here-
this
is
36th
Avenue
Northeast.
It
was
a
very
complex
construction,
as
these
kinds
of
projects
require
a
lot
of
better
structure
in
the
ground
and
the
course
of
doing
this
work.
There
was
a
lot
of
unknown
infrastructure
that
had
to
be
redesigned
and
relocated.
So
this
turned
out
to
be
a
very
complex
project.
R
We
think
of
these
as
light
rail
projects,
but
in
many
ways
when
you're
at
grade,
they
really
are
a
below
grade
infrastructure
project
with
the
new
sidewalks
and
landscaping.
This
is
good
to
be
a
real,
real,
true
asset
for
the
Bellevue
Redmen
area.
Next
life
is
here
we're
at
the
over
lake
village
station
and
you
can
see
in
the
new
pedestrian
bridge
that
is
crossing
SR
520
towards
the
Microsoft
campus
on
the
north
side.
R
R
So
this
is
the
final
station
for
the
East
link
extension
project.
This
is
the
Redmond
Technology
station
and
you
can
see
some
of
the
installation
of
the
artwork
for
the
parking
garage
and
then
the
middle.
You
can
see
some
of
the
and
to
the
right.
You
can
see
the
at
grade
station
or
the
Redmond
Technology
station
and
with
the
garage
behind
it
just
want
to
know
that
some
of
you
may
have
read
about
some
of
the
correct,
concrete
beams
at
the
roadman
technology
station
parking
garage.
R
We
are
working
with
a
consulting
engineer,
and
so
is
the
contractor
to
develop
some
repairs
to
correct
those
cracked
means
we
hope
to
make
those
designs
and
repairs.
In
the
next
few
months,
like
the
South
Bellevue
parking
garage,
we
will
also
be
looking
at
the
opportunities
once
we've
completed
those
repairs
to
open
the
garage
to
commuters
before
we
have
revenue
service
for
the
East
link
extension
project.
R
T
John,
so
this
is
the
voice
of
Murray
Jetson
I'm,
the
public
involvement
manager
for
the
transportation
department
I
serve
as
communications
and
outreach
support
to
light
rail
construction,
as
well
as
city
manage
transportation
projects.
Next
slide,
I
just
want
to
talk
about
the
structure
of
outreach
staff
with
Sound
Transit
and
the
City
of
Bellevue,
because
it's
a
really
nice
coordinated
effort.
T
Outreach
and
communications
like
I,
said
as
a
shared
responsibility
with
Sound
Transit
as
the
obvious
lead
for
the
past
four
and
a
half
years,
I've
served
in
a
supporting
role,
outreach
staff
first
Sound
Transit
worked
really
closely
with
directly
impacted
properties,
they
maintained
contact,
lists
and
emails
and
go
door
knock
when
they
need
to
to
regularly
update
impacted
property
owners
and
businesses
about
key
information.
The
primary
on
a
broader
scale
of
communication
is
the
primary
primary
communications
tool
that
Sound
Transit
uses
is
its
construction
alerts
and
they're
sent
to
subscribers.
T
One
piece
of
information
about
a
major
construction
Alert
can
reach
and
I'm
not
kidding,
because
I
did
the
math
today
over
a
hundred
thousand
subscribers
and
followers
from
Sound
Transit
social
media
sites
and
almost
another
hundred
thousand
for
the
city
sites.
So
it's
a
it
is
a
decent
reach
for
construction
information.
Next
slide,
as
I've
reported
to
the
council
and
past
updates.
We
still
continue
to
receive
complaints
in
three
common
areas.
One
is
construction.
Noise,
two
is
traffic
impacts
and
three
is
an
environmental
impacts
for
construction
noise.
T
T
Currently,
there
are
full
and
partial
weekend
closures
planned
for
Bellevue
way
between
112
and
I
90.
This
summer
residents
in
downtown
and
neighborhood
south
of
Main
Street
received
a
mailer
from
the
city,
explaining
that
this
past
weekend
was
the
first
of
what
will
likely
be
six
full
weekend.
Closures
of
Bellevue,
Way
and
I'm
pleased
to
report
that
I
did
not
receive.
Nor
did
my
counterpart
at
Sound
Transit
receive
any
complaints
about
the
closure
that
started
early
Saturday
morning
and
went
through
late
Sunday
evening.
T
I
want
to
spend
just
a
few
extra
minutes
on
the
pilot
turn
restrictions
that
were
implemented
in
2017
that
are
currently
located
at
108
and
southeast
16th
Street,
as
well
as
at
southeast
16th,
Street
and
Bellevue
Way.
The
intent
of
these
turn
restrictions
was
to
discourage
traffic
from
diverting
into
the
various
neighborhoods
down
there.
As
a
result
of
light
rail
construction
on
Bellevue
way
and
112,
the
restrictions
came
out
of
a
neighborhood
committee
engagement
process
that
was
called
for
in
the
East
link
Memorandum
of
Understanding
between
our
two
agencies
based
on
community
feedback.
T
We
made
modifications
in
early
2018
to
improve
compliance.
The
restrictions
have
been
extremely
effective
in
curbing
evening
cut-through
traffic,
where
the
restrictions
are
currently
located
and
we
have
not
been
seeing
an
increase
in
cut-through
traffic
and
other
neighborhoods.
So
we
feel
that
the
pilot
turn
restriction
has
achieved
its
intended
purpose
right
now.
Staff
are
working
on
determining
the
future
of
those
turn
restrictions,
as
I
said,
as
they
were
intended
to
be
in
place
during
construction
along
Bellevue
way
in
112
and
as
those
roadways
get
restored.
T
100Th
Avenue
southeast
is
a
priority
bike,
a
corridor
connecting
to
downtown
and
the
I-90
trail,
and
this
week
construction
has
started
on
108th
Avenue,
complete
street
project.
Right
now
we
are
working
on
a
community
outreach
to
make
sure
that
we
properly
inform
the
community
once
a
determination
is
made
about
the
status
of
the
turn.
Restrictions
and
the
council
will
certainly
receive
an
update
on
that.
T
The
third
area
of
common
concerns
is
environmental,
and
that
has
the
experience
with
that
is
that
complaints
have
been
and
related
to
tree
and
landscape
like
preservation,
animal
habitat
and
water
quality.
Sound
transit
in
the
city
have
worked
very
closely
with
Lake
Bellevue
village.
Regarding
Lake
Bellevue
over
the
past
few
years
and
more
recently
with
the
bill
filled
residential
park
were
regarding
water
quality
issues.
I
just
want
to
make
one
last
note
that
there
have
been
no
complaints
reported
associated
with
the
construction
at
the
oMFG
facility.
T
Next
slide,
just
a
quick
note
on
the
city's
access
bellevue
initiative.
This
too
is
an
MoU
commitment
back
in
late
May,
businesses
and
homes
received
the
third
edition
of
the
citywide
mailer
the
access
bellevue
mailer,
which
details
the
status
of
eastling
construction,
as
well
as
the
city's
transportation
projects
associated
with
the
bell
red
transformation
in
May.
T
The
city
commissioned
a
licensed
unmanned
aerial
system,
UAS
operator,
who
captured
video
from
about
200
feet
above
the
entire
East
link
alignment,
as
well
as
the
bell
red
corridors
of
Spring,
Boulevard,
124,
130th
and
120th,
and
links
to
those
drone
footage.
Videos
are
posted
to
the
city's
website.
T
P
P
A
O
I
really
appreciate
the
presentation
from
Sound,
Transit
and
Murray
on
this
project.
It's
it's
an
amazing
project
and
in
2023
we
are
going
to
have
light
rail
to
the
East,
Side
and
I,
especially
appreciated
hearing
from
John
libo.
He
and
I
actually
served
on
a
number
of
committees
together
to
advance
public
contracting
in
Washington
State.
O
So
John,
it's
good
to
hear
from
you
giving
the
presentation
I
also
wanted
to
make
sure
that
I
express
my
appreciation
for
looking
at
opening
the
tuba
Raja's
as
early
as
possible,
because
I
do
think
that,
to
the
degree
that
we
can
open
it,
Ren
is
ready.
It
will
be
helpful
for
our
community.
A
couple
of
questions
that
I
have
one
is
that
I
know
that
there
has
been
some
concerns
with
elevator
escalators
and
the
their
service
life
and
service
record.
R
The
elevators
are
designed
to
be
heavy-duty
to
take
the
level
of
traffic
that
we
anticipate
for
the
transit
system,
the
escalators
themselves,
given
the
challenges
that
we
had
on
some
of
the
central
link
escalators,
the
escalators
that
are
provided
for
the
East
link
extension
project
all
meet
the
high
level
of
standards
expected
for
transit
systems,
so
these
are
upgraded
escalators
that
than
the
ones
that
were
installed
as
part
of,
for
example,
the
university
to
University
of
Washington
station.
So
these
do
represent
the
highest
standard
for
durability.
With
regard
to
escalators,
well,.
O
Q
John
Michaels
here
know
it.
We
we
always
like
to
understand
how
far
it
would
take
or
how
much
it
would
take
to
go
energy
neutral
on
our
projects.
We
do
try
to
predict
energy
usage
to
water
usage
and
all
that
to
go
forward,
but
I
believe
at
a
hundred,
kW
I.
Believe
that's
only
going
to
cover,
if
I
understand
correctly
about
five
to
seven
percent.
Seven
percent.
G
Q
O
Q
That
that
is
still
an
act
of
procurement
at
the
moment
and
I
believe
we're
evaluating
submittals
at
the
moment.
So
some
point
in
the
near
future
I
would
imagine
either
a
Bellevue
staff
or
some
transit
staff
could
provide
a
briefing
update
of
the
results
of
that
procurement.
But
that
too
was
slightly
delayed
I
believe
because
of
the
COBIT
as
well
extended
a
month
if
I
remember
correctly,
so
we
can't
speak
to
the
details
of
it
yet,
but
we
are
in
the
forthcoming.
U
O
D
I
know
that
the
schedule
has
changed
over
time
originally
way
back
when
it
was
supposed
to
be
in
operation
in
2020,
and
then
that
pushed
to
and
then
slid
again
to
2023
last
I
had
heard
we
were
actually
ahead
of
schedule
and
it
sounds
like
we
are
with
the
OMF
ii
opening
and
testing
the
beginning
this
year.
So
I
understand
there's
a
float
and
I'm
not
asking
for
promises,
but
it
seems
to
me
that
if
things
go
well,
we
could
potentially
open
for
fair
service
even
a
year
earlier.
Maybe
more!
Is
that
a
possibility?
R
Thank
you,
the
question
councilman
Robertson.
We
have
planned
for
somewhere
between
June
and
September,
for
the
opening,
and
as
I'd
mentioned,
there
is
a
fair
amount
of
float
within
the
schedule
itself.
We
there's
nearly
twelve
months
of
float
in
there.
The
actual
construction
is
a
little
behind
schedule.
We
don't
see
it
being
significant.
The
reason
we're
not
yet
ready
to
say
when
we're
going
to
open,
we
will
know
probably
the
beginning
of
next
year
for
sure
when
we're
going
to
open
just
because
of
the
time
it's
needed
to
plan
everything
for
the
opening.
R
It's
really
going
to
depend
upon
the
completion
of
the
systems
work
that
occurs
next
year,
as
well
as
the
testing
that
goes
with
L
RVs
that
will
be
in
2022.
So,
as
I
mentioned,
it
is
very
possible
that
we
will
open
earlier.
We
could
open
significantly
earlier,
but
it
really
depends
upon
each
of
the
contracts
going
as
planned.
D
Great
that's
helpful,
so
it
would
be
great
if
Sound
Transit,
when
you
know
in
early
the
first
quarter
of
next
year,
if
we
could
have
that
information
shared
with
the
City
Council,
because
so
many
people
are
so
excited
about
this
project
opening
and
the
sooner
it's
open
the
sooner
the
people
can
begin
writing
it.
So
we
can
get
the
benefits
of
all
this
work
and
investments
Thanks.
So
you're.
L
You
you
can
count
me
among
those
who
are
excited
to
see
the
progress
of
Sound
Transit
coming
to
the
east
side
and
coming
to
Bellevue.
I
was
curious
if
giving
you
a
proximity,
if
this
is
for
oMFG,
giving
you
a
proximity
to
gix,
if,
if
you
see
this
sort
of
being,
maybe
an
innovation
hub
for
transit
as
well
in
the
future
and
then
kind
of
related
to
that,
do
you
see
this
being
a
facility
for
say,
apprenticeships.
Q
Hi
John
Michaels
here
certainly
I'm
using
many
transit
agencies
actually
are
facing
challenges,
I
think
finding
qualified
staff
and
training
staff
and
I
think
everybody
is
open
to
innovative
approaches
to
developing
a
workforce.
So
I,
don't
believe
anything
has
been
said,
but
I
would
imagine
that
we're
open
to
anything
that
could
could
benefit
from
those
kind
of
partnerships
for
sure.
Q
L
And
then
one
final
question
in
terms
of
just
thinking
about
so
people
who
may
be
taking
bikes
a
bike,
so
I
mean
I'm
curious.
Is
there
gonna
be
bike
storage
at
some
of
these
stations,
where
there's
I'm
thinking
specifically
of
locations
like
he's
main
and
places?
Is
that
within
Sound
Transit's
scope,
or
is
that
separate.
R
C
Yes,
again
great
presentation
very
exciting
to
see
the
development
as
we
move
along
here
to
making
a
light
rail
reality
in
Bellevue,
so
very,
very
exciting.
Indeed,
sorry
to
hear
that
it
sounds
like
a
few
employees
were
hit
with
Kobe
19.
It
just
got
me
thinking.
If
is
there
any
potential,
or
have
there
been
any
delays
to
any
equipment
or
supplies,
as
it
relates
to
kovat
19
that
could
shift
the
the
schedule
or
the
or
the
or
the
opening
again
I'm,
just
kind
of
curious
if
there's
been
any
other
impacts
due
to
the
pandemic,.
Q
It's
not
John
Michael's
here
I
can
speak
to
a
few
impacts
because,
of
course,
I
think
everything
has
been
impacted,
yeah
in
one
form
or
another.
Exactly
some.
Some
elements
of
the
L
RVs
are
specialized
elements
delivered
through
Siemens
out
of
Germany
and,
of
course,
the
way
they
approach
the
pandemic.
I
think
it
impacts
some
supply
sub
supplier
lines
of
that
has
not
delayed
or
impacted
by
the
opening
of
North
Gate
link,
which
is
the
primary
schedule
on
the
LRV
delivery
side,
guarding
the
OMF
itself
for
the
equipment
they're
in.
R
R
C
You
and
I
really
appreciate
a
lot
of
the
the
outreach.
I
really
hope
that
we
can
continue
to
maintain
that
and
we
can
bring
back
that
coffee
and
combo
event,
even
though
it's
postponed
for
right
now
and
then
Marie.
Just
a
quick
question
for
you.
Regarding
you
know,
I
know
some
of
the
car
dealerships
especially
are
along
northeast
20th,
had
had
some
difficult
or
frustrating
times
during
certain
part
of
the
of
the
project
here
over
the
last
six
months.
Has
that
dissipated
from
from
your
perspective
or
any
other
business
around
that
area?
T
So
Park
Place
Motors,
hasn't
reached
out
in
I'd,
say
recent
weeks.
There's
no
doubt
that
there's
been
a
lot
of
significant,
not
only
construction
but
traffic.
You
know
revisions
and
intersection
closures
and
roadway
closures
heard
from
Northwest
Ballet
and
the
outreach
representatives
she
she
is
out
there
a
lot
so
I
know
that
she
keeps
in
good
contact
with
all
of
them.
Great.
M
There
we
go
now.
This
is
just
amazing
councillor,
Robertson
I
was
just
thinking
about
us.
Eight
years
ago,
2012
the
leadership
team
with
Kevin
and
Sound
Transit
staff
was
the
first
time
we've
ever
done.
This
on
transit
ever
done
a
collaborative
design,
collaborative
leadership
process,
and
we,
you
know
all
the
time
put
in
it's
just
fantastic
to
see
these
things
come.
You
know,
come
to
life
and
it's
been
such
an
exciting,
exciting
thing
to
see
this
and
see
had
done
in
such
a
positive
manner.
M
M
So
congratulations
and
really
great
to
have
the
presentation
so
many
aspects
to
it
and
I
think
one
of
the
exciting
things
is
and,
as
the
deputy
mayor
mentioned,
the
art
work
and
things
like
the
present.
The
collaboration
on
stations
like
the
not
Warburton,
but
the
Isla
I
mean
Midlake
station
others.
M
Things
I
think
it's
it's
come
out
to
be
what
we
really
hope
and
work
for
and
push
for
a
project
that
is,
there's
really
made
bail,
be
even
more
vital
and
the
communities
and
neighborhoods
and
communities
around
it
more.
So
so
congratulations
and
it
couldn't
happen
without
the
contractors.
Norfolk
really
couldn't
happen
with
the
people
we're
talking
with
today
and
their
predecessors
so
and
I'm
re
we've.
M
We
worked
through
this
for
a
long
time
and
it's
been
a
fantastic
approach
and
looking
forward
to
that
ride
and
2023
is
not
that
far
away
and
I
think
you've
answered
a
lot
of
questions
and
there's
so
much
going
on
about
it.
We
could
spend
a
lot
of
time,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
celebrate
the
fact
that
this
has
been
a
just
a
transformational
effort
in
for
the
east
side
and
this
and
our
city
and
we
and
all
those
long
hours
of
back-and-forth
and
meetings
and
I'm
just
guess.
M
We
had
20
meetings
of
or
more
on
this
at
the
beginning,
and
then
we
had
all
the
council
meetings
all
over
the
years,
all
the
decisions
made
and
having
the
the
maintenance
facility
and
having
the
opportunity
for
the
you
know:
development
Tod
in
that
area
and
the
trail
and
connecting
with
east
rail.
All
of
those
pieces
happen
because
we
work
together
and
believed
in
this
and
make
it
happen.
And
so
thank
you
very
much.
It's
just
very
exciting.
You
can
tell
them
that
I'm
really
really
excited
about
it.
So
thank.
A
M
N
Thanks
well,
thanks
for
the
update
of
the
project,
good
job
and
I
appreciate
you
mentioned
a
number
of
times
the
good
working
relationship
you
have
with
City
of
Bellevue
staff.
How
well
you
work
with
them
and
so
on,
and
this
is
something
that
I
just
want
to
point
out
that
working
with
Bobby
stab
it's
a
wonderful
thing.
They
voice
demonstrate
that
you
know
the
quality
they
were
collaboration
and
how
they
get
things
done.
N
So
I
want
to
give
a
big
compliment
to
them,
and
one
thing
that
I
want
to
ask,
in
addition,
is
that
schedule:
I
know
that
we
can't,
you
know,
come
up
with
fixed
schedule
for
sure,
especially
with
over
19
many
ends.
Unforeseen
and
one
thing
I
think
the
Sun
tries
to
staff
has
mentioned.
Is
the
ELA
beast
right?
You
know
whether
we're
gonna
meet
the
schedule
or
whatever
happens
the
effect.
There
would
be
the
readiness
you
know
of
the
armies.
N
So,
however,
I
would
like
to
know
what
other
elements,
what
other
factors
are
the
projects
that
might
be
causing
any
impact
to
the
schedule
so
that
we
can
kind
of
follow
up
when
people
ask?
Why
is
it
on
schedule
or
not
on
schedule
ahead
of
schedule?
We
kind
of
can
see
can
predict,
can
have
some
sense
and
we
know
that
you
guys
will
be
working
toward.
N
You
are
getting
more
and
more
you're
anxious
and
when
so
on
that
note
one
of
the
thing
I
kind
of
Miss,
that
you
know
you
talk
about
coming
from
seed,
all
the
way
to
ramen
I
did
not
hear
you
talk
about
the
I-90
folding
bridge
piece
is
any
information
that
you
may
have
you
can
share
with
us
and
what
yeah
that?
That
would
be
something.
Maybe
maybe
you
want
to
do
it
separately
or
you
have
a
few
words
about
it.
R
Thank
you
for
the
comments
and
the
questions
is
John
Lee
bone
I'll
just
perhaps
go
backwards.
The
I-90
section
of
the
project
is
proceeding
well,
the
installation
of
the
track
work
on
the
floating
bridge
has
gone
well.
They've
just
completed
two
installations
of
these
very
complex
pieces
of
engineering
that
takes
into
account
the
transition
from
the
fixed
portions
of
the
entry
approach
to
the
floating
bridge.
To
basically
what
is
it
a
boat,
so
these
very
complex
track
engineering
takes
into
account
the
the
pitch.
R
They
are
on
the
roll
that
you
get
on
the
floating
bridge
as
it
responds
to
the
different
heights
of
the
water
and
the
winds,
but
there's
a
show
on
this
event
day,
impossible
engineering
that
will
highlight
the
construction
work,
that's
ongoing
to
facilitate
the
trains
across
the
floating
bridge.
Unfortunately,
I
don't
have
the
time,
but
it
is
on
the
Science
Channel
it's
on
this
Wednesday
and
it
will
talk
extensively
about
the
engineering.
That's
gone
in
to
the
design
of
the
transit
system
across
the
floating
bridge.
R
You
had
also
asked
about
schedule,
and
I
had
mentioned
that
for
an
early
opening
of
the
system
we
might
know
in
the
first
quarter
of
next
year
that
would
be
for
the
early
opening.
As
the
construction
installation
goes
along,
we
will
get
a
better
sense
of
whether
or
not
we're
going
to
have
any
construction
delays,
whether
it's
on
the
system
side.
There
are
a
lot
of
other
systems
that
need
to
be
put
in
place
and
scheduled,
such
as
the
communication
and
information
systems
that
go
into
the
stations,
as
well
as
the
fare
card
machines.
R
The
other
is
that
we
have
this
dance
that
needs
to
occur
with
King
County
Metro,
for
the
restructuring
of
the
transit
system
to
accommodate
the
new
opening
of
the
stations,
and
so,
if
you
think
about
it,
you
need
to
plan
well
in
advance
of
when
we
think
we're
going
to
have
that
opening
date
to
make
sure
that
we
have
crews
hired
and
trained
to
run
the
L
RVs.
So
it's
this
sort
of
dance
that
goes
along
and
it
really
depends
upon
how
well
the
construction
is
progressing
at
the
moment.
It's
progressing
very
well.
N
Very
good
thinking
appreciate
that
I
think
that's
what's
that
and
as
an
engineer
myself,
you
know
I'd
be
very
interested
to
watch
that
I
94
in
bridge
progress
and
finally,
I
want
to
thank
Mary,
Marie
Jensen
for
her
work.
How
reach
I
think
that's
when
the
reasons
we
haven't
heard
much
from
the
public
regarding
the
project
and
and
also
she
mention
about
the
work.
That's
done
above
your
way
and
112
and
you
know,
there's
a
great
great
work
there
and
we
can
learn
from
that
and
we
can
learn
when
we
put
it
back
in
place.
N
A
You
much
okay,
thank
you
trying
to
be
quick
here.
I,
just
I
think
there's
three
things
that
the
community
is
really
interested
in
right
now.
First
of
all,
are
we
ahead
of
schedule?
Are
we
under
budget
and
what
will
the
next
two
and
a
half
years
look
like
and
I
think
I
could
kind
of
answer,
and
you
can
affirm
the
the
last
one
I
think
that
all
the
impacts
we've
seen
in
traffic
over
the
last
number
of
years.
However
long
it's
been,
those
are
pretty
much
going
to
be
gone
at
the
end
of
this
year.
R
Yeah,
so,
basically,
by
the
end
of
this
year,
we
will
have
finished
the
work
in
Southeast
Bellevue
away
and
most
of
the
other
work
around
the
stations
will
have
been
completed
as
well
out
in
the
Bello
red
district.
We
will
have
some
minor
work
around
the
Bellevue
downtown
station,
as
we
finish
that
up
next
first
quarter
of
next
year,
first
or
beginning
in
second
quarter
next
year.
Well,
that's
around
the
other
stations.
A
R
Currently,
we
are
projecting
to
be
under
budget.
It
really
is
going
to
depend
upon
a
number
of
things
as
we
move
forward.
One
of
the
biggest
risk
factors
that
we
have
is
Kovan
19
it
is,
it
is
slowing
construction.
It
does
cause
additional
work
for
the
contractors.
Each
of
our
contractors
has
told
us
that
they
are
suffering
impacts
associated
with
koban
19
and
they
are
looking
to
Sound
Transit
to
help
mitigate
some
of
those
costs
and
that's
something
that
we
will
be
working
through
and
for
quite
a
long
time.
Overall,
the
project
is
under
budget.
R
A
A
We
have
another
study
session
item
here
and
I
know.
This
is
one
of
our
favorites
I'm,
going
to
ask
counsel
to
try
to
keep
our
met
our
comments
down
to
three
minutes.
If
we
could
so
we
can
get
it
get
out
on
time
tonight,
because
we
still
have
an
ordinance
after
this.
Mr.
Miyagi,
would
you
like
to
introduce
this
one.
E
The
next
topic
is
the
enabling
hansman
program
update
and
just
by
way
of
background.
All
of
you
are
aware
this
popular
program,
and
it
is
one
of
the
city's
oldest
and
most
successful
neighborhood
programs.
It
was
initiated
in
1988,
which
means
it.
It's
been
in
existence
for
32
years
now.
I
have
to
say
that
it
has
stood
the
test
of
time,
and
tonight
we
like
to
provide
the
council
with
an
informational
update
on
this
very
popular
program.
E
No
council
direction
has
been
requested
this
evening,
but
I'd
love
to
hear
your
feedback
and
joining
us
this
evening
is
Mark
Hyman
our
neighborhood
outreach
manager,
as
well
as
Theresa,
cut
hill
or
NEP
coordinator,
both
with
the
Community
Development
Department.
Then
I'll
go
ahead
and
turn
on
cue
mark.
I
Great,
thank
you
so
much.
Mr.
Miyake,
Teresa
and
I
are
very
pleased
to
be
with
you
this
evening
and
so
good
evening,
mayor
Robinson
and
deputy
mayor
new
in
house
and
council
members.
We
are
just
very
proud
of
this
program
and
enjoy
getting
to
spend
time
with
our
residents
and
also
with
other
partners
within
the
city.
I
It's
one
of
the
creative
engagement
opportunities
that
we
have,
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
get
to
share
with
you
this
evening
is
a
video
that
we
did
back
in
January
that
we're
very
grateful
to
have
now
that
we're
in
a
remote
environment,
all
of
our
documents
and
boards
and
supporting
materials
are
online.
But
this
video
provides
both
opportunity
for
Teresa
to
share
what
the
program
is,
but
most
importantly
for
us
to
hear
from
residents
and
how
they've
received
the
program
have
interacted
with
it
and
how
they
enjoy
it.
So
Charmaine.
W
I,
don't
think
there's
any
other
program
like
this
in
the
country
where
the
city
says
here,
here's
a
pool
of
money,
you
tell
us
how
you'd
like
to
have
it
spent
the
City
of
Bellevue
is
neighborhood
enhancement.
Program
is
a
program
that
allows
residents
in
Bellevue's,
14
neighborhood
areas
to
propose
and
select
small
capital
improvement
projects
in
their
neighborhoods.
The
city
has
set
aside
a
budget
of
five
million
dollars
that
is
distributed
amongst
those
14
neighborhood
areas
determined
by
the
household
count
in
each
of
those
areas.
W
The
neighbor
advancement
program
is
structured
so
that
two
neighborhood
areas
each
year
are
given
the
opportunity
to
propose
and
select
projects
in
their
neighborhood
areas.
The
sequence
of
the
NEP
program
starts
with
an
kickoff
meeting.
Where
residents
learn
about
the
program,
then
they
have
a
couple
of
months
to
submit
project
ideas
of
how
they
like
to
see
their
funding
in
their
neighborhood
area
spent.
The
city
then
vets,
those
programs
out.
We
come
back
to
the
residents
who
then
vote
on
those
projects
that
are
on
the
ballot.
W
The
total
timeframe,
for
that
is
about
a
nine-month
timeframe
for
that
sequence,
and
then
it
is
three
to
five
years
for
implementation
of
the
projects
that
are
selected.
Examples
of
projects
that
have
been
funded
through
the
neighborhood.
An
sment
program
include
a
trail
improvement
and
a
new
trail
through
the
Ardmore
Park
crosswalk
enhancements
in
the
bridle
trails
area
right
in
front
of
Cherry
Crest
elementary
school
residents
in
the
Lakeman
area
can
now
safely
walk
from
their
neighborhood
on
a
new
sidewalk
into
Lewis.
W
U
V
So
I
proposed
improvements
on
that
bridge
so
that
it's
more
walkable
being
involved
in
the
process
was
very
exciting
to
me,
because
I
felt
like
as
a
young
person,
I
can't
afford
property
in
downtown
Bellevue,
so
I
rent
like
a
lot
of
the
other
people
who
live
near
me.
So
having
the
city
reach
out
and
say,
hey,
we
want
to
hear
your
ideas.
How
can
you
improve
the
community?
That
was
super
great
for
me
as
a
renter
to
be
able
to
participate
and
have
my
voice
heard
I.
S
Think
this
is
the
very
best
of
City
government.
They
I
was
really
shocked
when
I
got
this
postcard
and
said
we're
considering
infrastructure
projects
in
your
neighborhood
to
improve
the
quality
of
life
and
safety.
We
we
want
you
to
tell
us
what
those
things
would
be.
The
city
gave
us
a
blank
canvas
tell
us
what
you
want
unconstrained,
with
the
exception
of
it,
has
to
fit
into
the
money
that
we've
budgeted
for
this.
I
Mean
if
we
could
go
to
slide
number
two
this
evening,
we
are
not
asking
for
in
for
no
action,
but
just
information
for
Council
this
evening.
So
we're
glad
to
share
this
program
with
you
and
to
provide
you
an
update
next
slide.
So
we've
shared
with
you.
What
is
the
NEP?
What
is
NEP
video
and
then
a
couple
of
things
we
want
to
share
with
you
this
evening
is
some
of
our
unique
neighborhoods
that
have
come
up
with
great
ideas
and
then
enhanced
outreach
efforts
and
then,
finally,
our
current
upcoming
areas
next
slide.
I
This
genuinely
is
a
one
city.
Effort
between
the
Community,
Development,
Department
transportation
and
utilities
and
parks
really
allows
this
opportunity
to
work
together
on
scoping
of
projects,
but
then
also,
as
there
are
projects
that
don't
fit
the
scope
of
NEP.
There
have
been
a
number
of
opportunities
where
other
departments
have
been
able
to
pick
up
those
ideas
and
actually
bring
them
about,
even
if
they
don't
fit.
What
NEP
does
next
slide?
10
Theresa
thanks.
W
Mark
good
evening,
mayor
Robinson,
deputy
mayor,
Newhouse
and
council
members
to
begin
here's,
a
few
numbers
we
wanted
to
share
with
you
since
NEP
was
relaunched
in
2015.
These
numbers
are
representative
through
2019
for
those
areas
that
it's
NEP
has
been
offered
in.
Bellevue
residents
have
provided
over
1100
submissions
for
project
ideas
in
their
neighborhood
areas
and
close
to
4,000.
Ballots
have
been
received
for
24
small
to
moderate
capital
projects
that
were
selected
and
are
now
being
implemented
in
the
meeting
packet.
W
You
received
a
complete
list
of
the
selected
projects
through
through
last
year,
we'll
be
adding
more
once
we
get
through
the
remaining
neighborhood
areas
that
are
still
scheduled
to
participate
in
any
P
in
the
next
two
years.
From
the
video
you
learned
about
some
recent
NEP
projects,
but
I'm
also
going
to
give
you
a
quick
look
at
a
few
more
examples
of
the
types
of
projects
Bellevue
residents
have
suggested
and
selected
next
slide.
W
Please,
over
the
next
few
months,
a
lighting
project
will
be
completed
in
Latta
wood
park
located
in
the
East
Gate
factorio
neighborhood
area.
This
project
will
include
new
pathway
lighting
that
will
be
integrated
into
artwork.
Residents
in
this
area
requested
the
lighting
project
to
help
beautify
the
area
and
to
improve
safety,
especially
during
dark
afternoons
when
their
children
walk
through
the
park
to
get
to
and
from
school
next
slide.
Please
in
the
Northeast
Bellevue
neighborhood
area
residents
love
their
parks
and
requested
upgrades
to
the
children's
play
area
at
Ardmore
Park.
W
This
project
was
completed
in
2019.
Additionally,
they
suggested
the
new
Trail
and
footbridge
at
the
park
that
was
also
shown
in
the
video.
This
project
was
also
completed
last
year.
Next
slide,
please
an
example
of
the
variety
of
requests
they're
submitted
and
how
even
an
inexpensive
project
can
make
a
big
difference
in
the
Lake
Hills
neighborhood
area.
The
project
that
received
the
highest
number
of
points
in
voting
last
year
was
the
installation
of
bat
houses
along
the
lake
hills
green
bill
at
a
project
cost
of
only
ten
thousand
dollars.
W
Outdoor
space
is
key
to
the
lake
hills
residents
and
through
their
suggestions
and
votes.
This
was
one
of
six
projects.
Lake
Hills
residents
chose
to
fund
from
their
area's
allotted
NEP
budget.
Others
included
improvement
to
wetland
areas
and
adult
exercise,
equipment
at
Robins
wood
park
and
next
slide.
Please
so.
I
Here
we
have
an
opportunity
to
see
a
before
slide
before
picture,
just
a
great
project
that
happened
down
in
East
Gate
back
Torreya
area.
This
was
a
project
submitted
by
and
voted
on
by,
the
residents
there
close
by
and
really
was
supported
by
the
brand-new
East
Gate
Community
Association.
So
you
can
see
that
this
was
an
area
that
was
really
overrun
with
landscaping,
trees
and
then
briars
and
even
some
tires
and
start
to
see
some
of
the
infrastructure
that
went
in
in
the
next
slide.
I
You
can
see
the
completed
project,
and
last
year
we
actually
got
to
walk
to
during
a
neighborhood
walk
last
summer
and
have
residents
talk
about
this
project
a
little
bit,
and
actually
these
plantings
have
grown
quite
a
bit
since
that
time.
So
it's
been
great
to
have
the
integration
of
individual
residents,
but
also
neighborhood
associations
that
have
taken
part
in
projects
that
are
really
important
to
them.
That
have
made
a
major
impact
next
slide.
I
Another
portion
of
enhanced
outreach
efforts,
as
the
City
of
Bellevue
has
moved
into
now.
Having
51
percent
of
living
units
are
in
multifamily
communities.
Teresa
has
done
significant
outreach
to
some
of
our
downtown
areas.
I
believe
Washington.
Square
is
the
one
that
we
see
here
on
the
Left,
where
downtown
and
Bel
red
is
100%,
folks
that
live
in
multifamily
communities
and
then
on
the
right,
our
community,
that
she's
in
now
crossroads
and
Highland
Village
crossroads
being
82%
multifamily
and
Theresa
I'll.
Let
you
take
it
from
there
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
multifamily
thanks.
W
Mark
as
Mark
said,
neighborhood
outreach
recognizes
that
Bellevue
is
much
more
than
the
single.
You
know:
suburban
single-family,
neighborhoods
of
the
past
multifamily
housing
now
makes
up
51
percent
of
the
city's
households
with
various
levels
through
the
different
neighborhood
areas.
Given
this
information,
it
is
important
to
find
additional
ways
to
reach
these.
These
residents
NEP
has
expanded
its
outreach
beyond
the
five
direct
mail
pieces
that
each
household
receives
as
part
of
the
program's
marketing
process.
Again,
recognizing
that
multifamily
units
are
communities
in
themselves.
W
Establishing
relationships
with
property
managers
or
community
managers
can
provide
for
enhanced
promotion
of
the
program
much
like
working
with
established,
Neighborhood
Association
leaders.
In
the
past
two
years,
NEP
staff
has
done
good
old-fashioned
feet
on
the
ground,
marketing,
with
in-person
visits
to
property
managers
at
condominium
apartment
and
affordable
housing
complexes
to
introduce
NEP
each
of
these
properties.
Many
of
them
vertical
communities
now
have
newsletters,
eblasts
or
committee.
Information
boards
for
property
manager
can
help
spread.
The
word
about
the
NEP
program
to
their
residents
again.
W
Mark
said,
as
he
said,
on
the
left
side
of
your
slide.
Here
is
Washington
Square
condominiums
in
downtown
Bellevue,
where
there
is
100%
multi-family
housing
in
that
neighborhood
area
on
the
right
is
hidden
hidden
village,
Highland,
Village
Apartments
and
in
the
Crossroads
area,
82%
of
total
households
are
in
multi-family
housing.
Next
slide.
W
Along
with
multi-family
housing
outreach,
we
have
a
goal
to
broaden
participation
from
traditionally
underrepresented
communities.
So
the
key
the
neighbor
announcement
program
this
year
has
launched
a
pilot,
spanish-language
translation
program
in
the
Crossroads
neighborhood
area.
Nep
mailing
materials
have
and
will
be
translated
throughout
the
process,
as
well
as
spanish-language,
specific
webpages
and
program
related
online
submission
forms
have
been
created.
Spanish
was
chosen
for
this
pilot
as
it
is
the
most
spoken
non
English
language
in
the
Crossroads
area.
The
next
few
slides
are
going
to
show
you
examples
of
some
of
these
outreach
efforts.
W
This
slide
shows
a
screenshot
of
the
Spanish
language,
specific
NEP
web
page
that
can
be
found
on
the
city's
website.
Next
slide,
please.
This
is
a
copy
of
an
actual
printed
project
idea
card
that
was
submitted
in
Spanish.
An
online
submission
form
is
also
available
for
residents
to
use
next
slide.
Please-
and
this
is
a
copy
of
the
Spanish
translated
side
of
the
NEP
ballot
that
all
households
in
the
Crossroads
area
received
in
June
ballots,
are
limited
to
one
per
household
address
and
must
be
returned
by
mail.
W
This
effort
is
a
part
of
an
ongoing
commitment
to
improve
accessibility
for
Bellevue
residents
to
participate
in
the
democratic
process
of
the
neighborhood
enhancement
program
and
will
be
evaluated
to
inform
future
practice.
We
are
learning
from
our
efforts
in
both
multifamily
outreach
and
language
translation
that
we
hope
will
translate
to
even
more
interest
from
our
community
to
participate
in
this
resident
driven
program.
Marc
will
now
update
you
on
what's
currently
happening
in
NEP
neighborhood
areas
and,
what's
still
to
come
in
the
next
two
years
of
the
CIP
process.
Next.
I
Slide
so
currently,
Teresa
is
working
in
the
Crossroads
area
and
that
area
now
is
voting
on
their
different
projects
and
have
until
July
24th
to
mail
in
their
ballots.
Will
Burton
is
in
the
scoping
phase
and
their
ballots
for
their
different
projects
will
be
mailed
in
the
month
of
September
and
then
scheduled
now
for
2021
is
west
Bellevue
and
Wood
Ridge
and
then
2022
is
scheduled
for
Newport
and
Somerset
next
slide,
just
reminding
again
that
this
is
for
information.
I
A
N
Take
much
time
you
have
made
a
very
good
description
of
what
a
new
program
you've
been
working
on.
That's
that's
good,
I'm
glad
to
see
especially
the
new
program,
any
mention
about
the
multifamily
connection,
because
W
City
has
always
been
born
into
our
reach
and
as
being
a
very
tough
segmented,
community,
renters
and
multifamily
to
reach
out.
So
I
would
really
like
to
see
how
you're
working
on
that
I
look
to
get
more
information
to
see.
N
Is
you
know
what
kind
of
a
results
were
getting
the
other
one
that
you
didn't
mention
which
I'm
interested
was
reading
your
authorities,
the
info
info
video
program?
Your
talk,
you
mentioned
on
your
record,
so
maybe
you
can
say
a
couple
words
about
that
info
video,
and
what
are
we
learning
from
that?
What
are
we
doing
with
that?
And
if
you
don't
have
all
the
time
you
want
to
describe,
we
don't
have
it
I
will
be
happy.
I
would
like
to
follow
up
with
you
on
that
particular
arrest.
I
O
Yes,
thank
you.
So
this
is
one
of
my
favorite
programs.
I.
Think
that
to
me
right,
the
ability
to
reach
into
each
of
the
communities
that
are
quite
unique
in
and
of
itself
and
have
the
community
voice
decide
on
what
kind
of
projects
they
want
to
do.
So.
Thank
you
so
much
mark
and
Teresa,
and
the
staff
for
this
program
I'm
always
excited
when
I
go
out
and
listen
to
ideas
in
the
neighborhoods
and
just
such
creative
ideas,
and
one
thing
I
want
to
really
highlight
is
when
you
talk
about
the
one
city
effort.
O
O
The
fact
that
we're
out
reaching
two
multifamily
I
think
is
is
very,
very
important
because
they
are
hard
to
reach
I
appreciate
that
we're
translating
into
Spanish
and
potentially
other
languages
as
well
to
broaden
the
outreach
who
are
harder
to
reach
communities.
A
couple
questions
one
is
as
part
of
kovat
have
we
had
to
change
what
our
outreach
looks
like
to
reach
the
community
and
then
to
when
I
think
about
the
percentage
of
participation?
What
percent
of
the
ballots
come
back
to
the
city.
W
Say
in
terms
of
ovid,
this
is
a
pretty
self-sustaining
program,
with
engagement
by
mail
and
online.
So,
although
we've
had
to
cancel
a
couple
of
public
meetings
associated
with
the
program,
we've
still
been
able
to
continue
through
this
kovat
environment
because
of
the
online
opportunity
and
the
mail
opportunity
in
terms
of
the
return
on
ballots.
It
vary
by
neighborhood
area
and
that's
something
I
can
get
back
to
you
on,
but
it
does
vary.
The
percentage
that
comes
back
in
each
neighborhood
area
has
buried.
Okay,.
O
D
Really
pleased
to
see
the
language
foreign
language
outreach,
that
is
something
that
I've
been
pushing
for
16
no
17
years,
I'm
in
this
city,
and
it
is
so
wonderful
to
see
it
coming
to
NEP,
because
the
more
people
that
get
to
this
is
the
people's
capital
project
list
and
the
more
people
that
are
heard
from
the
more
it
makes
these
projects
really
the
projects
the
community
wants.
So
as
well
as
the
outreach
to
multifamily
I'm,
really
pleased.
We
just
have
a
terrific
team
on
this
I.
D
Don't
really
have
any
questions
just
want
to
continue
to
voice
my
support
for
the
project
and
what
we're
doing
to
do.
The
outreach
I
hope
that
when
covin
is
a
in
our
rearview
mirror
and
we're
able
to
meet
with
people
in
the
future
again,
we
continue
to
go
the
extra
mile
to
get
input
from
people
that
live
in
the
sectors
where
the
project
is
happening
and
I
also
wanted
to
mention
that
during
the
last
budget
crisis
back
in
about
2010
2011,
there
was
a
request
to
get
rid
of
the
NEP
project
program
and
the
council.
E
D
D
D
I
M
You
know
just
putting
stickers
up
and
everything
and
and
talking
to
people
about
a
project
and
seeing
that
enthusiasm
and
I
was
at
the
the
one
with
lake
hills,
and
it
was
fascinating
with
the
people
who
were
all
round
about
the
bats
and
and
and
people
thought
well.
That
is
really
different.
They
have
a
lot
of
other
things
too,
and
one
of
the
things
you
got
from
it
is:
we
have
15
projects,
we
can
only
get
five
on
the
list
and
these
others
are
good.
M
So
I
think
we
talked
about
this
before
sometime
in
the
future.
When
we're
in
better
budget
situation,
everything
I
hope
we
look
at
these
projects
that
are
proposed
and
sometimes
finding
ways
to
to
get
something
done,
in
addition
to
something
that's
already
kind
of
in
the
pipeline
and
look
at
the
expansion
of
the
program.
Now
it
should
work,
but
it's
something
that
the
community
really
really
enjoys
and
appreciates,
and
I've
heard
also
in
talking
some
other
cities
who
have
asked
me
about
when
they
hear
about
this.
The
project
is
so.
M
How
do
you
do
this,
and
how
do
you
make
it
work
at
all
and
I
think
it's
just
something
a
Bellevue
has
done
for
a
long
time.
That
is
again.
This
is
what
makes
Bellevue
great
and
reaching
out
to
communities.
This
way
is,
is
one
way
the
city
and
the
staff
and
the
council
really
keeps
connecting
with
the
people
in
terms
of
what
they
want
to
do
in
their
community.
M
So
thanks
to
the
staff,
it's
just
a
fantastic
program:
you've
really
up
the
game
on
it,
and
obviously
the
more
communications
we
can
have
with
people
in
their
language
and
neighborhoods
and
where
they
live,
is
great
but
again
staff.
You
just
done
a
great
job
on
this
and
looking
forward
to
the
results.
Thank
you.
Thank.
C
You,
mayor
being
a
proud
resident
of
Lake,
Hills
I'm,
not
quite
sure
what
the
bat
houses
say
about
our
neighborhood,
but
I'm
glad
that
you
highlighted
it
here
in
this.
In
this
presentation,
mark
and
Teresa.
You
know
it
still
surprises
me.
Maybe
that's
the
number
one
vote.
Getter
was
the
bat
houses,
but
certainly
that
did
resonate
with
a
number
of
my
neighborhoods,
our
neighbors
and
in
lake
hills.
C
So
great
presentation,
thank
you
so
much,
and
just
this
can't
help
but
smile
looking
at
the
great
engagement,
the
great
outreach
you
know
and
and
then
these
great
creative
solution
enhancements
to
our
city
I.
You
know
I
echo,
councilmember,
Stokes
and
looking
when
the
time
is
right
when
we
had
the
budget
to
take
a
hard
look
at
further
enhancing
this
this
program,
giving
it
more
budget
and
what
also
struck
me
is
that
the
intersection
all
the
things
that
you
know
that
that
we
work
with
her
that
Teresa
and
Mark.
You
know
the
neighborhood
walks.
C
I
mean
you,
you
would
mention
that
and
having
conversations
about
projects
and
those
projects
can
lead
to
possible
projects
another
na
PFLAG.
So
it's
it's
it's
just
great,
and
what's
it's
something
that
just
makes
Bellevue
special
and
something
that
makes
Bellevue
stand
out
and
and
other
cities
take
notice
and
and
look
to
replicate.
C
So
it's
just
wonderful
and
and
I'm
so
glad
that
Lola
LeBlanc
completed
into
the
video
as
well,
because
I
actually
did
walk
with
her
and
her
kids
and
a
couple
other
families
up
to
Cherry
Crest
Elementary
and
saw
the
that
intersection
which,
which
truly
was
at
at
times
a
dangerous
place
for
kids.
That
did
not
feel
safe,
walking
and
and
around
that
neighborhood.
So
it
was
great.
They
come
up
with
a
solution
that
probably
also
relieves
some
some
pressure
from
police
officers
needing
to
be
there
to
do
some
traffic
management.
C
I'm,
not
sure
if
you
have
any
data
on
that,
you
could
share
with
us
tonight.
But
you
know:
I
know
that
a
lot
of
residents
were
very
concerned
about
about
that
intersection.
So
I'd
like
to
know
a
little
bit
about
that,
and
also
just
I,
want
to
thank
councilman
Robertson
for
continuing
to
push
about
the
the
different
languages
for
this
program
as
well
and
I
hope
that
we
can
get
beyond
just
Spanish
and
look
to
Chinese,
Russian,
etc
to
further
engaged
with
potentially
underserved
communities
to
make
sure
they're
part
of
this
program
as
well.
C
W
W
C
W
I
was
gonna,
say,
I've,
actually
I'm,
working
closely
with
the
great
neighborhoods
team
right
now
and
I've
shared
NEP
project
ideas
that
have
come
in
to
kind
of
help
them
understand
what
residents
in
those
areas
may
be
looking
for
as
well.
So
we're
working
very
closely
together
because
northeast
and
northwest
Bellevue
are
both
areas
that
NEP
has
already
gone
into
and
that
great
neighborhoods
will
be
in
currently
so
we're
working
very
closely.
W
I
L
I
think
it
would
be
also
cool
to
take
a
look
at
the
annual
performance
survey,
because
I
think
there's
some
results,
they're
broken
out
by
neighborhood
and
then
just
seeing
how
that
also
meshes
with
some
of
the
ideas
that
come
in
there's
there's
a
do.
We
have
an
idea
of
to
what
extent
youth
are
involved
in
this
process.
I
mean
I.
L
Think
like
say
you
know,
whatever
age
I
mean
they're
going
to
be
here
and
then
that
window
of
time
that
it
takes
for
these
projects
to
happen
right
over
that
time
line
and
I
think
it
would
be
pretty
exciting
to
be
able
to
say,
hey
tributed
to
that.
Do
we
know
the
extent
to
which
we're
engaging
youth
well.
W
I
know
just
at
a
minimum,
especially
using
the
Cherry
Crest
intersection.
As
an
example,
we
had
a
very
engaged
resident
who
included
kids
at
the
school
to
kind
of
help,
promote
interest
in
that
event
or
that
project
and
kind
of
used
it
as
a
learning
lesson
for
for
engagement
with
the
city,
but
in
terms
of
other
age
groups,
no,
not
as
I'm,
not
as
sure
as
what
kind
of
involvement
we
get
other
than
the
young.
I
L
I
was
just
gonna,
say,
I
think
it'd
be
great.
If
we
could,
you
know
continue
to
think
about
how
we
can
get
the
youth
involved
across
all
ages.
That
makes
sense,
and
then
the
last
comment
I
had
those
in
addition
to
sort
of
the
physical
infrastructure,
ideas
would
be
great
to
also
maybe
get
some
ideas,
if
we're
not
already
on
programming,
as
well
as
any
sort
of
a
social
or
tactical
urbanism
ideas
that
allow
the
community
to
sort
of
run
with
an
idea
as
well.
In
addition
to
the
work
that
the
city
does
officially.
A
All
right,
thank
you.
So
much
wonderful
presentation,
that's
just
a
great
project!
We've
I
tell
you
is
our
favorite
thing.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
all
the
great
work
that
you
do.
We
are
going
to
move
on
to
ordinances
and
we
have
an
ordinance
to
pass
tonight
or
to
consider
passing
mr.
miacca.
Would
you
like
to
introduce
that.
E
Thank
You
mayor
robinson,
ordinance,

5,
9,
Oh
mince
the
bell
v
city
code.
This
ordinance
changes
the
definition
vest
mystic
partner.
This
amendment
will
provide
needed
authorization
to
update
the
human
resource
policies
and
procedures
us
to
establish
efficiencies
and
consistency
between
the
state
law
and
city
requirements.
Joining
us
this

J
X
Evening,
mayor
Robinson,
deputy
mayor
new
in
house
and
City
Council
members
next
slide,
please
our
staff
recommendations
for
your
consideration
and
action.
This
evening
is
to
amend
chapter
3.79
of
the
Bellevue
city
code
to
align
the
definition
of
domestic
partner
with
state
law
and
establish
you
know,
uniform
requirements
for
declarations
of
marriage
and
domestic
partnerships
next
slide,
please
at
the
agenda,
I'll
provide
a
brief
history
and
then
information
about
how
other
jurisdictions
have
addressed
domestic
partnerships
and
share
the
proposed
implementation
plan
of
the
new
definition
next
slide.
Please.
X
The
bellevue
city
code
changes
are
being
brought
to
you
at
this
time,
so
that
city
staff
can
plan
for
the
health
benefits
open
enrollment
in
the
fall
and
also
to
provide
time
for
staff
to
notify
and
negotiate
with
union
partners
before
the
health
benefits
open.
Enrollment
next
slide,
Keith
I
like
to
provide
a
brief
history
of
state
and
city
laws
regarding
domestic
partners.
X
Excuse
me
in
2007,
the
state
of
Washington
created
a
domestic
partnership
registry
registering,
as
domestic
partners
is
a
way
for
couples
to
get
all
of
the
legal
rights
and
responsibilities
that
married
couples
get
under
state
law.
State
registered
domestic
partners
receive
the
same
benefits
and
protections
as
married
couples
do
under
Washington
state
law.
There
are
many
different
kinds
of
Washington
laws
that
provide
rights
or
responsibilities
to
married
couples
and
registered
domestic
partners.
X
As
you
can
see,
share
a
common
residence
both
be
at
least
18
years
of
age,
neither
partner
being
married
or
in
an
existing
state,
registered
domestic
partnership,
both
capable
of
consenting
to
them
domestic
partnership,
not
in
relation
to
each
other,
neither
partner
being
a
sibling
child
grandchild,
aunt,
uncle
niece
or
nephew
to
the
other
and
be
members
of
the
same
sex
or
one
person
at
least
62
years
of
age.
Next
slide,
please.
X
In
2007,
the
definition
of
domestic
partnership
was
created
in
the
bellevue
city
code,
after
the
state
law
was
enacted
and
also
following
a
lawsuit
that
was
filed
on
behalf
of
employees,
seeking
domestic
partner
benefits
for
their
same-sex
partners
and
children.
Bellevue's
eligibility
requirements
were
that
a
person
was
not
in
a
marriage
legally
recognized
by
the
state
of
Washington
at
least
18
years
old,
not
related
by
blood,
to
a
degree
of
closeness
that
would
prohibit
legal
marriage
in
Washington
State
and
that
they
were
jointly
responsible
for
each
other's
common
welfare
and
shared
financial
obligations.
X
Next
slide,
please
in
2007,
in
order
for
domestic
partners
to
be
eligible
for
medical,
dental
vision,
life
and
accident
coverage,
the
Employee
Assistance
Program,
and
for
an
employee
to
have
access
to
leave
benefits
and
continuation
of
benefit
rights
upon
termination
from
employment.
The
city
established
a
process
that
included
signing
a
declaration
of
domestic
partnership
and
providing
supporting
documentation
next
slide.
Please
there
are
nine
supporting
documents,
three
of
which
needed
to
be
provided
to
demonstrate
eligibility
for
health
care
coverage
for
their
domestic
partner.
X
One
of
these
supporting
documents
is
the
Washington
State
registration
of
domestic
partnership,
and
these
are
the
supporting
documents,
as
you
can
see
needing
to
provide
three
of
them.
A
joint
mortgage
or
lease
domestic
partner
as
a
beneficiary
for
life,
insurance
being
a
beneficiary
for
retirement,
a
primary
beneficiary
and
an
employee's
will
or
of
the
employee
in
the
domestic
partners.
Will
there
are
a
durable
power
and
health
care
powers
of
attorney
joint
ownership
of
motor
vehicle,
a
joint
checking
account
a
joint
credit
account
or
the
Washington
State
registration
of
domestic
partnership.
X
These
documents
can
change
over
time
and
if
the
employee
does
not
notify
the
city
of
a
change
in
eligibility,
the
benefits
would
inappropriately
continue.
So
that
is
one
of
the
the
issues
that
this
proposed
change
would
address
as
well.
Next
slide,
please
in
2012
the
state,
legalized,
same-sex
marriage,
all
state-registered
domestic
partner
partnerships
were
where
either
party,
or
neither
party
excuse
me,
who
are
where
neither
party
was
at
least
62
years
of
age,
were
converted
to
marriage.

Next
slide,
please,
the
change
to
the
city
code
would
be
that
the
bellevue
code,
definition
of
domestic
partner
would
refer
to
the
state
law.
This
would
simplify
and
they
consistent
the
administrative
processes
to
apply
for
domestic
partnership,
which
the
city
needs
to
determine
eligibility
for
city
health
care
and
related
leave
benefits
next
slide.
Please
many
jurisdictions
have
applied
their
city
code,
definitions
of
domestic
partner
with
state
law,
and
that
includes
redmond,
Bothell,
Issaquah,
Renton,
Kent,
Auburn
and
Tacoma
next
slide.
Please
should
should
this
change
be
adopted.

The
human
resource
staff
has
a
phased
implementation
plan
in
mind
for
current
domestic
partners
that
provides
three
years
to
maintain
their
domestic
partner
status.
So
on
January,
1st
2021,
all
new
domestic
partnerships
must
be
registered
in
the
state
of
Washington.
Any
domestic
partnerships
that
existed
as
of
December
31st
2020
would
be
grandfathered
for
purposes
of
benefits,
eligibility
for
three
years
through
2021
through
2023
and
then
effective
January,
1st
2024
only
state
registered
domestic
partners
and
their
dependents
of
employees
will
be
eligible
for
the
provided
benefits
next
slide.
X
Please,
there
are
34
employees
currently
that
have
domestic
partnerships
and
thus
phased
in
implementation
plan
for
current
domestic
partners
will
allow
sufficient
time
for
employees
to
plan
for
the
future
to
either
get
married
to
get
health
care
coverage
elsewhere,
such
as
with
the
state
exchange
or
their
partner's
employer,
or
to
register
as
domestic
partners
with
the
state
which
is
done
through
the
Secretary
of
State's
office.
Next

please.

Okay,
I,
don't
have
any
questions,
I
think
you
laid
it
out
very
well,
it
seems
pretty
straightforward
and
I,
don't
see
any
reason
not
to
be
income.
You
know
in
converting
with
state
law
and
established
the
uniform
requirements
and
give
a
reasonable
time
period
for
people
to.
As
you
said,
you
don't
get
their
situation
in
order.
I
think
it's
one
of
these
things
that
we
need
to
do
from
time
to
time.
M
You
look
at
and
update
things,
and
this
is
a
very
positive
step
that
I
think
will
be
a
benefit
to
our
employees
and
make
it
a
lot
simpler,
all
the
way
around
and
probably
have
better
record-keeping
or
better.
You
know,
assessment
off
or
just
for
the
process
for
people
so
I'm
very
much
in
favor
for
it
and
would
support
it.
Thank.
C
I'm,
first
of
all,
joy,
thank
you
so
much
for
the
presentation
and
for
walking
us
through
that
that
history
absolutely
for
it
might
be
the
easiest
thing
we
do
this
year
in
terms
of
getting
us
aligned
here,
the
definition
of
domestic
partner
with
state
law,
but
also
establishing
that
uniform
requirement
for
declarations
of
marriage
and
domestic
partnerships,
though
absolutely
in
favor
of
it.
Thank
you.
Thank.
