There
are
six
pre-registered
speakers

a
combined
presentation
powerpoint,
which
I
will

able
to
share
the
regular
timer,
but
I
will
be
tracking
their
time
speakers.
I

H
Hello,
my
name
is
kirsty
english
and
I'm
the
mother
of
three
children
in
the
bellevue
public
schools,
I'm
also
a
small
business
owner
in
the
city
of
bellevue.
In
december,
I
started
trees
for
livability
in
order
to
address
a
growing
concern
over
the
number
of
large
trees
coming
down
in
bellevue
last
week,
trees
for
livability
introduced
our
tree
code
study
with
findings
and
recommendations
to
the
city
council.
I'm
going
to
review
some
key
information
from
last
week
for
those
who
did
not
attend
the
meeting
next
slide.
Please.
H
Our
tree
code
study
was
created
with
the
help
of
a
volunteer
working
group
of
concerned
citizens.
Over
a
number
of
weeks.
We
researched
the
tree
codes
in
nearby
cities
and
compared
them
to
the
codes
here
in
bellevue.
This
slide
shows
a
few
of
the
many
cities
we
looked
at
next
slide.
Please,
the
results
of
our
research
are
clear.
Bellevue's
tree
codes
are
the
weakest
in
the
region.
Our
tree
code
study
compares
tree
codes
on
many
dimensions
and
includes
recommendations
for
improvements
to
bellevue
street
codes.
H
You
can
find
a
copy
of
our
report
at
treesforlivability.org
next
slide.
Please
bellevue
is
growing,
old
homes
are
being
torn
down
and
new
homes
are
being
built
in
their
place,
as
residents
we'd
love
to
see
new
housing
stock
coming
in.
That
is
modern
and
up
to
date.
However,
we
do
not
like
to
see
this
happening
at
the
expense
of
our
landmark
or
significant
trees.
H
H
Last
week
we
talked
about
home
demolition
permits
being
up
300
from
2011
to
2021,
which
often
translates
to
lots
being
cleared
of
all
trees.
This
rate
is
likely
to
continue
and
pick
up
pace.
In
fact,
king
county
puts
out
housing
targets
for
municipalities
to
have
enough
housing
to
meet
demand.
Bellevue
is
on
pace
to
miss
its
housing
targets
for
2035
by
21
having
only
produced
6591
net
new
housing
units
between
between
2006
and
2018.
H
building
will
need
to
pick
up
pace
to
meet
this
demand.
This
is
why
we
need
to
update
tree
codes
in
2022
to
protect
our
tree
canopy
in
the
face
of
growing
development
needs.
Trees
for
livability
has
a
public-facing
petition,
urging
the
city
council
to
take
action
on
improving
tree
codes.
In
three
weeks,
we've
gathered
over
300
signatures.
H
I
Thank
you
good
evening.
My
name
is
rick
chesmault
lake
hills
resident
of
the
past
31
years,
and
I'm
here
tonight
representing
the
treats
for
livability
group,
I'm
also
an
architect
and
my
bellevue
design
studio
is
located
next
to
the
beautiful
downtown
park
and
we
have
designed
many
commercial
and
residential
projects
in
the
bellevue
area
since
1987
nearly
nearly
35
years
as
a
longtime,
delby
homeowner
and
as
an
architect.
I
I
There
is
nothing
like
the
feeling
of
walking
under
a
calm,
quiet
grouping
of
trees,
to
reduce
stress
and
anxiety
and
allow
one
to
reconnect
with
nature
as
architects.
We
consider
the
landscape,
including
trees,
to
be
vital
to
the
design.
Architects
believe
we
should
be
able
to
develop
and
preserve.
At
the
same
time,
next
slide,
please.
I
I
would
like
to
describe
an
architect's
early
stage
of
design.
Now
trees
play
a
big
part.
We
ask
our
clients
to
provide
two
things
before
designing
the
required
needs
for
the
building
and
a
detailed
site
survey,
including
the
locations
of
existing
site
features
like
footprints
of
existing
structures,
rock
outcropping
site,
contours,
steep
slopes,
utility
lines
and
perhaps,
most
importantly,
the
location,
species
and
size
of
all
trees
greater
than
a
three
inch
diameter.
Next
slide.
Please,
during
the
conceptual
design
phase,
we
first
analyzed
the
site
to
help
inform
the
location
of
the
structure.
I
Next
slide,
please,
as
a
bellevue
resident,
I
frequently
walk
in
my
my
lake
hills,
neighborhood
and
I've
seen
properties
completely
clear
of
every
tree.
Every
bush,
every
blade
of
grass
and
sealed
fences,
are
installed
surrounding
the
barren
site
on
all
sides.
The
before
and
after
photo
of
this
site
is
only
two
blocks
from
my
house.
I
I
I'm
here
tonight
as
a
member
of
the
trees
for
livability
group
and
as
an
architect
to
ask
you
for
more
restrictive
treatment,
so
we
can
put
a
stop
to
the
depletion
of
our
important
tree
canopy
next
slide.
Please
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
you
tonight
and
we'll
pass
on
the
next
speaker.

J
J
Hello,
my
name
is
laith
english,
I'm
a
seventh
grader
at
little
middle
school,
and
I
am
here
to
talk
with
you
about
our
future.
I
was
drawn
to
trees
for
livability
because
I
enjoyed
living
around
trees.
I
moved
here
from
seattle
in
2018
and
when
we
first
arrived,
I
was
amazed
at
how,
in
every
direction
you
looked,
there
were
trees
of
all
kinds
to
be
seen
as
trees
are
being
removed
in
bellevue
as
trees
are
being
removed.
Bellevue
is
looking
more
and
more
like
seattle.
Next
slide.
Please.
J
I
live
across
the
street
from
a
cedar
tree
that
is
36
inches
in
diameter.
It
is
the
last
tree
on
that
lot.
On
mlk
weekend,
the
developer
attempted
to
illegally
remove
the
tree
with
an
unsafe
unlicensed
crew.
My
family
and
several
of
my
neighbors
worked
to
stop
the
removal.
Currently,
the
tree
is
still
standing.
Redmond
has
a
policy
where
removing
a
landmark
tree
requires
you
to
plant
and
maintain
a
certain
number
of
replacement
trees
on
your
lot.
A
tree
of
this
size
would
require
12
replacement
trees
to
be
maintained
after
the
tree
is
removed.
J
J
If
this
tree
is
removed
and
we've
replanted
tomorrow,
it
will
take
more
than
10
of
my
lifetimes
to
regrow
its
estimated
age
is
134
years
next
slide.
Please
bellevue's
growth
does
not
need
to
come
at
the
cost
of
our
tree
canopy.
Our
tree
code
study
recommends
measures.
Other
cities
have
taken
to
improve
regulations
during
the
building
process.
Three
canopies
should
be
considered
in
the
site
plan
with
minimum
tree
density
targets.
J
Similarly
belt
builders
breaking
the
rules
should
have
delayed
permits
as
well
as
fines.
We
believe
the
city
and
builders
should
work
together
to
come
up
with
plans
that
will
allow
for
retention
of
our
tree
canopy,
while
still
supporting
the
much
needed
housing
redevelopment
in
bellevue.
This
is
in
line
with
the
city's
comprehensive
plan.
The
plan,
which
defines
the
future
for
bellevue
in
2044,
indicates
that
bellevue
wants
to
ensure
that
people
can
find
a
variety
of
housing
options
and
enjoy
parks
and
green
space
in
2044.
When
I'm
an
adult,
I
hope
bellevue
will
have
beautiful
trees.
J
When
you
make
planning
decisions
for
bellevue,
please
keep
my
generation
in
mind.
We
will
be
the
ones
around
to
feel
the
effects
of
the
actions
you
take
now
next
slide.
Please
please
visit
the
website
treesforlivability.org
and
get
involved.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
we
appreciate
your
service
to
our
community.
That
is
all.
B
B
K
Is
jennifer
keller
and
I
live
at
115,
146th
avenue,
southeast
bellevue
9807
good
evening,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor
newinghouse
and
council
members.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
I'm
here
today,
because
I
love
the
beauty
of
the
northwest
and
because
I'm
concerned
about
our
young
people
and
their
future
in
a
time
of
climate
change.
I
feel
very
concerned
over
the
latest
ipcc
report,
which
really
brought
forth
the
urgency
of
this
moment.
We
must
move
as
quickly
as
we
can
toward
the
transition
to
efficiency
and
clean
energy.
K
Thank
you
for
your
past
work
on
the
environmental
stewardship
plan
for
the
february
7th
discussion
of
the
plan.
I
really
appreciated
that
during
that
discussion,
something
that
came
up
multiple
times
is
the
importance
of
keeping
the
plan
implementation
moving
forward
as
quickly
as
possible.
This
is
necessary
for
us
to
meet
our
crucial
goal
of
50
reduction
in
greenhouse
gas
emissions
by
2030..
K
As
you
know,
from
testimony
at
past
council
meetings,
bellevue's
staff
for
addressing
sustainability
is
proportionately
much
smaller
than
a
number
of
comparable
cities
in
the
u.s
cities
who
are
making
significant
progress
on
reducing
their
emissions
in
november.
As
I
listened
to
budget
discussions,
I
came
away
with
the
understanding
that
the
city
would
give
a
close
look
at
this,
and
I
appreciate
the
ongoing
ways
we've
been
incorporating
sustainability
into
what
we
do,
understanding
that
it
isn't
something
we
do
over
on.
The
side
needs
to
be
something
in
the
middle
of
what
we
do.
K
So
I
was
very
surprised
to
see
in
items
10a
and
10b
in
tonight's
agenda
that
we're
proposing
to
postpone
the
environmental
stewardship
plan,
green
building,
update
and
the
living
building
pilot
program,
and
then,
at
the
same
time,
I
see
in
10b
that
we're
proposing
proposing
to
bring
on
staff
to
keep
pace
with
development
activity
building
permits
this
may
be
needed.
But
what
it
says
to
me
is
that
we
are
looking
at
these
things
in
silos.
This
is
a
time
when
bringing
on
staff
to
respond
to
development
activity
should
incorporate
sustainability
awareness.
K
We
should
make
sure
that
summer,
all
of
the
new
staff
has
the
background
to
look
at
okay.
How
do
we
promote
green
building
in
bellevue?
Let's
not
postpone
looking
for
ways
to
remove
barriers
and
provide
support
for
green
building
projects.
Let's
incorporate
that
into
the
city's
process
as
quickly
as
we
can.
If
we
hire
staff,
we
should
make
sure
they
bring
green
building
and
sustainability
awareness
to
what
they
do.
I
also
wanted
to
mention
that
item
10a
proposes
postponing
the
esp
air
quality
work.
K
Let
me
say
that
I'm
very
concerned
about
that
from
an
admissions
perspective,
but
also
specifically
from
a
climate
justice
perspective.
There
are
other
extremely
important
elements
in
the
environmental
stewardship
plan
like
transportation
and
building
retrofits,
but
in
any
case,
this
is
not
the
time
to
go
slow
on
moving
toward
green
building
efforts.
This
is
the
perfect
time
to
move
forward
more
quickly
on
these
efforts.
Thank
you.
B
L
Thank
you
very
much
good
evening,
mayor
robinson
and
council
members.
It's
great
to
see
you
again
and
I
look
forward
to
the
day
when
we
can
be
doing
this
in
person
again,
I'm
here
to
make
a
few
comments
on
10a
the
planning
work
plan,
and
I'm
not
here
on
any
on
behalf
of
any
particular
party,
but
on
behalf
of
dozens
of
owners
developers,
users,
investors
who
are
looking
forward
to
creating
more
jobs
and
housing
in
the
city.
L
We've
worked
on
four
major
sub-area
plans
in
the
last
15
years,
the
bellred
east
gate
downtown
and
east
maine,
and
if
you
look
at
eastgate
downtown
and
east
maine,
they
all
required
six
to
eight
years
to
complete,
which
is
just
too
long
by
the
time
you
get
to
the
end
of
the
process.
The
work
you
started
with
is
already
stale.
I
mean
look
at
wilberton
now
we
completed
a
draft
environmental
impact
statement
four
years
ago
and
it's
too
old
we're
having
to
do
it
over
we're
trapped
in
this
cycle
of
taking
too
long
to
plan.
L
It
makes
me
think
of
an
earlier
day
in
bellevue
in
2005.
Overlake
hospital
was
looking
at
their
new
master
plan
for
their
campus
and
we
did
an
eis.
We
did
all
the
northeast
10th
overpass
planning.
We
did
conference
of
plan
amendments,
we
did
a
new
zoning
district
and
we
created
the
master
development
process
plan
process
and
we
did
that
in
two
years
the
past
tells
us
we
have
the
ability
to
do
this.
L
This
bellevue
is
a
great
city
and
I
think
we
can
do
better
than
what
we've
done
in
the
last
several
years
and
think
of
the
public
benefits
at
stake.
For
example,
in
wilberton
the
grand
connection,
the
completion
of
east
trail,
the
path
breaking
king
county
metro,
waste
heat
recovery
plan
a
once
in
a
lifetime
opportunity
for
district
energy,
affordable
housing,
all
sitting
on
the
sidelines,
waiting
for
completion
of
the
planning
effort.
Many
of
you
will
recall
a
few
years
ago.
We
had
one
word
we
talked
about,
and
that
was
nimble.
L
How
can
we
be
more
nimble
and
we
haven't
figured
out
how
to
do
that?
The
world
is
changing
faster
and
our
planning
efforts
seem
to
be
falling
further
behind.
So
my
suggestion
is:
don't
endorse
the
plan
in
front
of
you?
It's
a
list.
It's
a
great
list,
discuss
it
at
your
retreat.
We
need
more
resources,
as
in
10b,
we
need
to
streamline
process
and
we
need
to
recapture
the
spirit
of
innovation
that
was
the
hallmark
of
bellevue
for
many
years.
L
We
need
to
be
on
the
cutting
edge,
trying
new
ideas,
rewarding
creativity,
not
being
afraid
of
risk.
For
example,
there's
no
legal
reason
to
hold
up
the
wilberton
plan
to
wait
for
the
major
comp
plan
update,
so
I'd
suggest.
The
question
for
the
council
is
not
do
we
implement
this
schedule,
but
how
can
we
beat
this
schedule?
L
B
Thank
you,
mr
mccollum,
the
that
is
the
end
of
our
pre-registered
speaker
list.
If
you,
if
there's
anyone
else
connected
to
this,
call
that
would
like
to
make
communication
to
the
council,
please
use
the
raise
hand,
function
or
star
9
if
you're
connected
with
a
phone,
I
will
remind
folks
that
we
have
reached
a
maximum
number
of
people
in
support
of
the
tree
code
study.
So
we
can
take
no
more
comment
on
that
item.
A
M
Have
one
item
to
highlight
this
evening
under
the
city
manager's
report,
and
that
is
a
report
which
is
included
in
your
packet
of
an
emergency
procurement
which
was
made
in
response
to
the
january
17th
landslide
in
the
somerset
neighborhood.
This
report
is
being
provided
to
council
in
order
to
comply
with
the
bellevue
city
code.
That
requires
this
notification,
and
a
copy
of
the
contract
is
actually
available
in
the
council
document
library.
If
there's
interest
in
taking
a
look
at
it
and
that's
my
report
for
this
evening,
there.
A
A
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
and
the
opposed.
Thank
you.
So
next
up
we
have
three
study
session
items
tonight,
I'll.
Let
mr
miyake
introduce
the
first
one.
M
Thank
you,
mary
robinson
council
members.
The
first
topic
is
an
informational
overview
of
the
city's
2022-23
land
use,
planning,
work
plan
and
just
by
way
of
background,
the
purpose
of
this
work
plan
in
part
is
to
provide
both
the
council
and
public,
with
predictability
of
when
certain
planning
initiatives
will
be
initiated
and
completed
and
sets
expectations
on
how
this
work
will
get
done.
Joining
us
this
evening
is
liz
dad.
The
interim
co-director
and
tris
natanas
consulting
attorney
both
from
the
development
services
department
and
joining
them,
is
emile.
N
O
Thanks
liz
and
thanks
mr
miyaki
mia
robinson,
deputy
mayor
newton
house
and
city
council
members
good
evening,
this
is,
as
mr
miyaki
mentioned,
a
presentation
of
the
joint
land
use
planning
initiatives,
the
work
plan,
that
is,
a
combination
of
the
work
that
the
development
services
department
and
the
community
development
department
work
on
on
a
continuous
basis.
O
This
is
a
an
effort
to
really
show
the
council
and
the
community
the
entirety
of
the
work
that
is
planned
for
2022
and
into
2023
to
give
you,
as
mr
miyaki
mentioned,
in
the
opening
comments,
more
clarity
and
predictability
on
the
work,
what
it
is
and
when
it
will
happen
and
what
the
deliverables
are.
As
that
work
proceeds
as
council
knows,
this
is
complicated
work
that
takes
not
only
the
two
departments
mentioned
here,
but
also
many
of
the
other
departments
in
the
city,
including
transportation
utilities,
department,
city,
attorney's,
office,
finance
and
on
and
on.
O
This
is
some
of
the
most
complex
work
that
the
city
does
undertake
and
the
most
complex
community
engagement
at
some
level.
That
happens
as
we
proceed
as
there
are
a
number
of
stakeholders
who
have
an
interest,
some
of
them
who
you've
heard
from
today
and
this
evening
next
slide.
Please
we
do.
I
do
want
to
hand
it
to
to
to
trysna
and
emile
king
and
liz
stead
to
really
walk
through
the
details.
Here
we
are
providing
this
for
the
council's
information.
O
Some
of
this
work
is
underway,
and
some
of
it
is
ready
to
proceed
here
quickly.
So
with
that,
I
will
turn
it
over
to,
I
believe
trisna,
who
will
walk,
begin
walking,
counsel
through
through
the
work
plan
and
the
process
improvement
efforts
that
have
been
undertaken
over
the
last
18
or
so
months
again
focused
on
trying
to
create
additional
predictability
and
clarity
about
this
work,
as
it
proceeds
forward.
Trisna.
E
Thank
you
mike
good
evening,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor
moon
house,
council
members
tonight.
As
mike
noted,
we
are
bringing
forward
a
joint
community
development
and
development
services.
Department's
land
use
planning
initiatives.
We've
been
using
the
action
of
loopy
work
plan
for
2022
2023
for
council's
information
for
the
presentation
tonight.
We
will
give
an
overview
of
the
planning
process,
including
some
foundational
information
and
the
process
improvements
that
we've
been
using
for
menus
planning
initiatives.
E
E
Changes
to
comprehensive
plan,
as
you
all
know,
are
called
comprehensive
plan
amendments
or
cpas
and
council
sees
and
consider
cpas
on
an
annual
basis
to
work
to
manage.
Our
confidence
plan
rests
with
community
development
and
correspondingly
community
development
staff
leads
the
processing
of
cpas.
E
These
policies
are
implemented
into
code,
primarily
the
land
use
code
through
code
amendments.
The
code
is
the
second
bucket
and
it's
that's
what
may
be
built
and
the
extent
and
design
of
that
development
that
would
be
that
could
be
built.
Development
services
department
is
responsible
for
administering
them
and
development
regulations,
so
in
turn,
development
services
staff
leads
the
processing
of
amendments
to
the
land
use
code
and
other
development
regulations.
E
The
last
bucket
is
the
implementation
of
the
comprehensive
plan
and
development
regulations
through
permitting
and
development
entitlement
development
services,
as
a
line
of
business,
includes
land
use,
building
transportation
utilities
and
fire
is
responsible
for
processing,
permit
application
and
granting
development
permits
and
approvals
for
the
city.
Perhaps
the
most
important
piece
of
information
on
this
slide.
E
That's
relevant
to
our
discussion
tonight
on
the
war
plan
is
the
fact
that
land
use
planning
from
policies
to
code
to
permitting
crosses
both
community
development
and
development
services
departments,
as
well
as
relying
on
other
city
departments
such
as
transportation
parks,
utilities
and
others
because
of
the
cost,
departmental
work
and
implications
and
impacts.
There's
always
been
a
need
for
close
coordination
between
the
various
departments
in
the
city
and
bellevue
has
been
experiencing
an
unprecedented
rapid
rate
of
growth
and
development,
which
has
put
greater
pressure
on
this
need
for
cross-departmental
coordination
and
collaboration.
E
A
couple
of
years
ago,
community
development
and
development
services
department
started
to
work
on
improving
our
process,
which
we
called
land
use,
planning
initiatives
or
loopy
in
response
to
the
complex
and
challenging
environment.
So
we
can
really
optimize
the
work
that
we
do.
The
graphic
on
the
left
in
the
slide
shows
the
progression
of
a
loopy
project,
as
well
as
our
recognition
that
chronologically,
even
though
there
may
be
a
sliding
scale
of
effort
from
each
department.
E
Both
community
development
and
development
services
are
involved
throughout
the
process,
from
policy
development
to
code
development,
to
implementation
of
those
policies
and
code
and
the
land
use
planning
initiative
process.
Improvement
has
now
put
in
place
an
updated
standardized,
predictable
process
where
we
have
defined
rules
and
responsibilities
clearly
as
to
work
planning
and
communication,
as
well
as
how
we
evaluate
the
outcomes
of
our
planning
work.
E
P
P
What
happens
when
we're
actually
doing
it
and
after
the
council
adopts
it?
What
we
consider
that
phase
of
the
project
as
well,
so
these
color
codings
are
going
to
be
pertinent
when
we
get
to
the
overall
work
plan
in
a
few
slides,
so
I'm
going
to
walk
through
these
through
phases.
Very
briefly,
what
we
call
the
pre-launch
phase
under
the
loopy
process
is
what
staff
does
prior
to
actually
coming
to
council
to
launch
an
initiative.
P
So
this
looks
at
the
scope
of
an
effort
making
sure
we
have
the
right
internal
resources
all
queued
up
to
work
on
a
initiative
making
sure
we
have
the
consultants
lined
up.
So
it's
the
readiness
work
that
happens
and
is
pretty
critical
to
the
kirby
before
we
actually
launch
something
with
council
and
that's
indicated
with
the
yellow.
P
P
This
includes
the
environmental
review,
a
lot
of
stakeholder
and
community
engagement,
as
well
as
a
whole
host
of
technical
analysis.
That
might
happen
during
a
project
and
then,
lastly,
the
blue
phase
or
the
implementation
phase,
is
pretty
critical
to
get
right
as
well.
So
this
is
what
happens
after
council
actually
adopts
something,
and
it's
getting
the
staff
ready.
P
P
Many
of
these
involved
planning
commission
work,
and
these
were
all
ultimately
adopted
by
the
city
council.
So
this
this
review
is
a
significant
body
of
work
and
really
shows
how
the
loopy
process
improvement
has
really
speeded
up
both
the
pace
that
we
can
do
things
and
the
list
of
ideas
that
we
can
get
implemented
implemented
in
a
given
year.
P
P
So,
as
we
go
through
the
list,
you'll
see
that's
very
evident.
The
work
plan
also
furthers
the
city's
equity
inclusion
goals.
It
does
so
both
with
the
project
outcomes,
as
well
as
the
inclusive
and
equitable
processes
used
during
the
planning
efforts.
So
how
we
do
things
the
work
plan
is
going
to
continue
to
ensure
bellevue
maintains
its
economic
innovation,
including
large
employers,
who
view
bellevue
as
a
great
place
to
locate,
as
well
as
the
many
many
small
businesses
and
their
needs
that
they
have.
P
P
I
want
to
also
just
briefly
note.
The
planning
framework
that
bellevue
functions
under
bellevue
is
part
of
both
state,
regional
and
county
planning
frameworks,
the
state
growth
management
act
or
gma.
If
it's
commonly
referred
to,
provides
that
overarching
guidance
for
planning
and
really
why
we're
doing
our
periodic
plan
update
right
now.
E
Thanks
emil,
so
another
piece
that
came
out
of
the
process
improvement
framework
is
that
we've
committed
to
quarterly
meetings
with
key
planning
staff
to
work
on
this
to
work
on
the
work
plan
itself.
So
we
would
talk
about
the
status
of
projects,
any
new
projects
that
we're
contemplating
as
well
as
make
progress
and
that
we
usually
work
when,
as
you
heard
from
emil,
we
have
a
number
of
key
considerations
that
inform
the
list
of
projects
that
are
in
our
document.
E
E
We
look
to
ensure
that
we
take
advantage
of
synergies
with
other
city
planning
projects
so
that
we
can
really
maximize
the
outcomes,
especially
in
comparison
with
the
level
of
investment
that
we
would
be
making
for
that
project
and
related
to
that.
We
want
to
avoid
significant
opportunity
costs
for
actually
not
doing
the
project.
E
The
project
also
would
have
to
align
with
enterprise
priorities
and
resourcing,
as
I
mentioned
earlier
from
other
various
different
staff
and
colleagues
from
other
city
departments.
We
also
look
to
complete
ongoing
initiative
than
to
allocate
available
resources
to
new
projects
and
then,
lastly,
the
workload
does
recognize
that
there
are
trade-offs.
So
if
there
is
a
scope,
adjustment
or
project
delay
that
has
not
been
anticipated
or
potentially
additional
project
asks,
we
could
make
tradeoffs
from
that
list
of
projects
that
are
in
the
work
plan.
E
So
an
example
of
one
of
the
criteria
in
that
prioritization
exercise
that
we
go
through
is
project
synergy.
Some
examples
here
is
that
we
are
undertaking
several
planning
initiatives
and
progressing
on
council
priorities,
so
we're
working
on
the
comprehensive
plan
periodic
update,
which
goes
well
with
the
wilburton
cpa
and
luca
and
I-45
grant
connection
crossing
and
then
lastly,
there's
a
synergy
with
the
bell
red.
Look
back.
Look
forward.
Excuse
me,
cpa
and
code
amendments.
E
Similarly,
we
also
see
synergies
with
the
affordable
housing
work
that
we
have
so
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
this,
but
affordable
housing.
We're
looking
at
the
next
right
work.
We
are
also
intending
to
go
to
council
in
the
next
month
or
so
for
phase
two
of
action,
c1
of
the
affordable
housing
strategy
and
then
we're
currently
in
the
middle
of
processing,
supportive
housing
and
emergency
housing
in
lucca.
E
So
this
slide
is
the
2022-2023
cd
dsp
joint
work
plan.
I
want
to
start
with
a
little
bit
of
some
orientation
here,
as
emil
had
explained
earlier.
It
is
color
coded
and
each
project
that
is
on
this
list
has
the
the
pre-launch
space,
the
in
yellow
the
execution
phase
in
green
and
an
implementation
phase
in
blue.
E
So
the
list
of
projects
is,
on
the
left,
hand,
column
and
we
are
arraying
the
project
and
looking
at
two
and
a
half
years
so
the
beginning
of
this
year,
2022
through
the
middle
of
2024.
E
E
Next
to
that,
405
grant
connection,
as
well
as
the
bellerin
look
forward,
and
then
we
go
through
the
affordable
housing
projects
right
after
that,
as
well
as
some
state
legislation,
we
are
putting
some
resources
in
there
and
then
some
miscellaneous
kind
of
down
at
the
bottom.
We're
going
to
spend
just
a
few
minutes
here
to
go
through
and
give
a
short
description
of
each
of
these
projects
and
I'll
turn
it
over
back
to
emil
to
to
start
us
off
emil.
P
Thanks
trisna,
these
projects
are
described
in
your
council
packet,
but
we
would
like
to
spend
a
little
bit
of
time,
walking,
council
and
the
viewing
public
through
these
initiatives,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
start
at
the
top
and
we'll
work
our
way
down.
So
the
first
initiative
here
is
the
2022
annual
comprehensive
plan
amendments.
This
is
a
process
that
council
has
been
through
a
number
of
times.
It
extends,
as
it
says,
through
each
year.
P
That
initiative
also
did
include
the
115-100
comprehensive
plan,
amendment
commonly
known
as
the
chimney
condos,
but
they
had
recently
withdrawn.
So
that
is
no
longer
part
of
the
annual
cpa
process.
You'll
also
note:
in
2023
and
2024,
we
will
be
directing
privately
initiated
ideas
for
map
amendments
to
the
periodic
plan
update.
So
we
do
have
a
game
plan
to
be
more
efficient
with
those
processes
in
the
future
years.
P
The
next
line
item
is
the
comprehensive
plan.
Periodic
update
council
is
very
familiar
with
this
one,
as
we
just
launched
it
on
february
28th
of
this
year,
and
it's
a
multi-year
effort.
It
is
touching
many
of
the
the
general
elements
of
the
comprehensive
plan,
as
well
as
thoughtful
amendments
to
the
the
submarine
of
plans.
P
We
are
going
to
be
doing
an
environmental
impact
statement
for
the
periodic
plan
update.
We
feel
this
is
a
a
good
tool
to
help
assess
different
growth
options,
review
some
of
the
benefits,
as
well
as
impact
of
those
options
and
have
a
sound
environmental
record
for
our
planning
work.
P
P
So
we'd
be
starting
with
the
policy
work
we
are
proposing
that
we
seek
some
efficiencies
in
doing
the
wolverton
additional
environmental
review,
along
with
the
comprehensive,
planned
periodic
update
environmental
review.
So
we
that
is
something
that
was
noted
during
public
comment
as
well
as
in
our
council
packet.
P
You
will
see
that
the
target
for
the
policy
adoption
for
wilberton
is
well
in
advance
of
the
periodic
plan
update
and
we
would
be
able
to
begin
working
on
the
luca
as
we
started
to
get
some
sound
policy
direction
for
the
wilderton
effort.
P
This
effort
refers
to
work
to
look
at
a
potential
bridge
across
I-405.
That
might
be
a
first
step
for
the
ultimate
grand
connection.
There's
been
some
private
sector
interest
in
looking
for
a
more
near-term
connection
from
the
wilberton
neighborhood
in
east
rail
over
to
downtown
bellevue
and
our
office
corps
and
transit
center.
So
this
would
based
on
council
direction,
would
have
staff
working
on
looking
at
that
concept
and
seeing
how
it
might
relate
to
the
longer
term
vision
that
the
council
has
for
a
lid
park
connecting
wolverton
to
the
downtown
area.
P
One
nuance
of
this
is
that
the
bell
red
interest
in
policy
or
map
amendments
we
would
be
able
to
fold
in
to
the
comprehensive
plan
periodic
update.
So
again
for
this
one.
We
were
looking
for
some
efficiencies
in
how
we
would
be
doing
our
work
for
bell
red,
so
the
map
and
policy
amendments
we
could
actually
be
talking
about
in
2022,
with
the
luca
work
happening
in
2023
and
2024.
P
So
this
is
the
effort
that
builds
upon
the
50
density,
bonus
that
council
adopted
last
year,
and
this
would
go
look
at
faith-based
properties
and
those
that
might
benefit
from
having
additional
density
towards
affordable
housing.
So
we
would
be
coming
back
to
council
with
the
nuances
of
what
that
scope
actually
entailed
before
we
got
into
the
public
engagement
and
worked
with
the
city's
planning
commission.
N
N
N
Following
that
we
have
state
legislation
line
item.
This
is
somewhat
a
placeholder
and
we
keep
that
there
so
that
we
have
some
space
available
in
our
schedule
to
respond
to
those
mandates
and
conformance
amendments
that
come
out
of
the
state
legislature
in
their
annual
process.
So
you
can
see
that
that's
an
annual
item
on
our
work
plan
that
we
can
that
we
leave
there.
The
next
one
is
tree,
canopy
preservation.
I
know
that
you've
heard
quite
a
bit
about
that
in
the
time,
including
in
public
comment
this
evening.
N
So
the
tree
canopy
preservation-
we
do
have
a
good
record
in
the
comprehension
already
to
support
land
use
code
amendments.
So
we
thought
it
would
be
good
to
slot
this
in
and
start
moving
forward
on
land
use
code
amendments
for
that
with
start
planning
to
try
and
launch
that
in
the
third
quarter
of
2022.,
the
noise
control
for
amplified
sound
phase.
One
council
has
already
seen
that
and
initiated
that
in
this
first
quarter
2022.
So
we
will
be
coming
back
to
council
shortly
with
more
information
on
that.
N
The
second
noise
control
item
that
you
see,
phase
two
is
really
for
our
construction
noise
code
and
working
on
that
to
make
some
alignment
between
the
the
applicants
that
need
some
assistance
and
then
also
our
residents
and
trying
to
make
some
alignment
there.
The
last
item
that
you
see
is
the
wireless
small
siluca.
N
This
look
at
is
to
establish
regulations
for
small
cell
wireless
facilities
on
private
property,
and
it
is
a
companion
piece
to
adopted
regulations
that
for
the
right
of
way
that
already
exists.
It
also
will
conform.
The
land
use
code
to
federal
regulations
and
fcc
rules
that
have
recently
come
about.
N
N
So
this
is
our
proposed
2022
2023
loopy
work
plan.
Next
slide
I
mean
so
we
are
here
for
information
and
we
wanted
to
go
ahead
and
get
your
feedback.
So
mayor
robinson
I'll
serve
this
back
to
you
and
we
could
we'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
and
hear
your
feedback
on
this
proposal.
A
Q
Q
I
really
am
so
happy
to
see
this
work
plan
come
forward
and
I
hope
that
we
make
this
an
annual,
or
at
least
a
bi-annual
annual
will
be
better
annual
scheduled
event,
because
I
think
that
I
will
give
the
public
and
the
council
the
chance
to
see
what's
coming,
make
sure
that
we
prioritize
things
appropriately
and
set
the
priorities
if
we
need
to
add
additional
work
or
move
some
things
around.
So
that
said,
I
have
a
couple
of
comments.
Q
One
is
the
wilberton,
the
we
have
the
wilberton
update,
the
bell
red
update
and
the
major
comp
plan.
Amendment
update
and
I
understand
those
are
going
to
be
moving
on
parallel
tracks.
I
mean
we
started
wilberton
in
january
of
2017.
I
think,
and
that
report
was
delivered
in
2018,
so
I
I
know
that
myself
and
the
council
are
very
eager
to
see
that
come
forward
as
well
as
the
bell
ring
plan.
Q
The
the
thing
I
want
to
make
sure-
and
this
maybe
that
you
could
speak
to
this-
this
question
is
the
thing
I
need
to
make
I
want
to
make
sure
of
is
that
we
time
this
out
correctly,
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
we
can
meet
our
growth
targets
and
what
I
mean
by
that
is
bell.
Red
and
wilberton
are
two
parts
of
our
major
growth
corridor,
a
vision
that
the
council
has
set
many
years
ago
and
that's
where
most
of
our
growth
is
going
to
occur.
Q
As
we
know,
this
city
has
accepted
and
actually
advocated
for
higher
and
more
aggressive
growth
targets,
we're
supposed
to
plan
for
the
development
of
35
000,
new
housing
units
and
70
000
new
jobs
by
2044..
Q
My
understanding
is
that,
as
the
zoning
sits
today,
including
our
projections
for
bellred
and
wilberton,
the
capacity
is
about
27
000,
which
leaves
us
about
8
000
short
of
our
goal.
So
if
we
don't
do
wilberton
and
bell
red
and
get
that
work
completed
before
the
major
comp
plan
update,
we
won't
know
where
the
math
is
going.
Q
What
I
mean
by
that
is,
if
wilberton
for
example
and
bellrutter
are
going
to
create
32
000
housing
units,
then
we
will
know
that
the
major
comp
plan
update
has
to
create
an
additional
3000
in
other
parts
of
the
city.
If
they
create
27
000,
we
know
it's
8
000.
I
mean
so.
We
have
to
make
sure
that
we
come
to
conclusion
on
wilberton
and
belred
prior
to
finalizing
the
major
comp
plan
update,
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
the
math
works
for
these
growth
targets.
Q
So
do
you
want
me
to
pause
there
and
ask
for
staff
or
join
me
just
to
plow
through
I've
got
two
more
subjects
I
wanted
to
raise.
Q
Okay,
so
the
on
the
oh,
you
go
ahead
and
pause.
You
said
mayor
no,
no.
Q
Oh
go
ahead
and
popular
okay,
so
the
other
thing
is.
I
think
that
we
should
move
the
quasi-judicial
appeal
removal
to
this
year
and
the
reason
for
that
it's
scheduled
for
after
2023,
so
2024
or
later.
The
reason
for
that
is
that
the
question
judicial
appeal
process
is
changing
automatically
in
bellevue,
with
the
evcc
being
sunsetted,
and
so
I'd
like
to
do
all
those
changes
all
at
once.
Q
We
can
and-
and
I
know
that
it's
already
been
drafted-
it
might
need
some
slight
updating
because
of
the
ebcc
sun
setting,
but
that's
one
where,
if
council
kept
it
and
held
the
public
hearing,
we
could
get
that
done.
Second
or
third
quarter
of
this
year,
no
problem,
and
I
think
it
would
be
a
good
time
to
do
it
like
I
said,
because
that
way
we
have
all
the
changes
all
happening
this
year
with
the
ebcc.
Q
So
that's
something
I'd
like
to
hear
my
colleagues
wayne
I
either
tonight
or
at
the
retreat
and
then
on
the
tree
code.
I'm
glad
that
that's
coming
forward.
I
think
that's
really
important.
I
thought
that
we
had
increased
our
tree,
canopy
from
like
34
to
37.
Q
Without
any
tree
codes,
except
in
bridal
trails,
so
I
mean
that
shows
that
we're
actually
making
really
good
progress
even
without
the
tree
code.
If
we're
going
to
move
forward
with
the
tree
code,
I'd
like
the
council
to
have
an
opportunity
to
frame
that
work.
For
example,
personally,
I'd
like
to
see
a
balance
between
building
housing
and
trees,
I
think
that
we
can
do
both,
but
we
can't
not
allow
the
housing
to
be
built
to
save
to
save
trees.
We
can
maybe
allow
some
off-site
mitigation
like
we
do
with
wetlands.
Q
We
could
maybe
do
some
replanting
because
we
have
to
meet
those
housing
targets,
not
saying
we
don't
want
to
value
the
trees
and
protect
them,
but
there
has
to
be
a
balance.
There
also
needs
to
be
a
balance
for
view
communities.
We
have
many
neighborhoods
in
bellevue
that
are
view
communities
and
many
have
covenants.
Q
If
we
don't
allow
trees
to
be
limbed
up,
topped
removed
and
replaced
with
dwarf
trees,
then
we're
we're
violating
we're
basically
mandating
people
are
violating
their
covenants,
and
so
that
needs
to
be
something
that
we
take
into
account
as
we
do
the
tree
code.
Q
So
I
would
just
like
to
have
a
chance
when
that
comes
up
and
kicks
off
to
the
planning
commission
for
the
council
to
be
able
to
frame
that
work
and
give
input
like
I
said,
particularly
allowing
people
to
do
some
off-site
mitigation
or
replanting
if
needed,
to
meet
the
housing
goals
of
the
city.
So
really
also
really
pleased
to
see
that
we
are
moving
so
many
things
forward,
and
I
guess
that's
about
all
so
I'd
like
to
have
input
back
from
staff
on
the
two
two
of
things
I've
mentioned.
Q
One
is
how
that
planning
work
plan.
Are
we
going
to
be
able
to
make
sure
the
math
works,
where
we
finish
bell
red
and
wilberton
ahead
of
the
major
comp
plan
update,
so
we
meet
our
growth
targets
and
two
when
the
tree
canopy
code
comes
back
before
it
gets
kicked
off,
will
it
come
back
to
council
for
framing
and
setting
those
guiding
principles
like
we
often
do
with
other
initiatives
thanks.
N
Thank
you,
councilman
robertson.
I
will
go
ahead
and
take
the
tree
canopy
question,
and
then
I
will
ask
emil
king
to
respond
regarding
how
we
are
lining
up
the
different
planning
initiatives
and
how
they
work
together
to
inform
each
other.
It
is
a
complicated
dance
as
you're
noting
regarding
the
tree.
Canopy
council
will,
of
course
have
an
opportunity
to
weigh
in.
We
have
not
initiated
anything
at
this
point
so
prior
to
actually
initiating
it.
We
would
come
to
council
and
ask
for
that
input.
So
there
will
be
a
time
to
do
that.
P
P
The
116th
corridor
as
an
example,
as
well
as
some
of
the
areas
around
the
light
rail
stations
for
additional
housing
development.
So
I
believe
the
way
we
have
it
sequenced
is
is
correct
in
being
able
to
at
least
talk
about
those
map,
amendments
and
additional
housing
capacity,
and
have
that
feed
into
the
periodic
plan
update,
so
that
we
can
see
how
much
growth
is
happening
in
the
growth
corridor
and
thus
areas
outside
the
growth
corridor
that
we
might
want
to
examine
for
additional
capacity
as
well.
Q
Great,
that's
very
helpful
on
the
caution,
judicial
modification.
That
work
is
mostly
done.
Isn't
it
because
we
considered
that
a
few
years
back?
Is
that
something
that
staff
would
have
if
council
desires
and
obviously
not
it's
more
than
me
to
do
that
work
would.
Is
that
something
that
staff
could
squeeze
in
this
year?
Q
N
The
council
does
create,
does
have
an
interest
in
moving
that
forward.
We
could
certainly
come
back
to
you
with
how
we
could,
where
it
would
fit
into
the
schedule,
so
we'd
be
happy
to
look
at
that.
Thank
you.
C
Yeah,
this
is
something
I've
been
looking
for
for
a
long
time.
I
didn't
want
to
start
out
and
say
I
haven't
talked
to
jack
mccullough
in
a
long
time,
but
I
I
want
to
say
that
the
the
outlook
he's
talking
about
is
basically,
I
hear
a
lot
of
things.
I've
been
saying
and
I
think
it
is,
and
you
can
look
at
it
a
lot
of
different
ways.
But
to
me
the
the
biggest
issues
we
have
is
this:
is
things
have
changed
so
much?
C
We
have
so
much
growth
and
things
going
at
different
times
and
the
need
the
numbers
are
astounding,
and
what
is
at
stake
is
where
the
bellevue
continues
to
be
the
place
people
want
to
come
to
and
we
have
the
opportunity
to
make
it
better
or
we
have
opportunity
to
drag
our
feet.
Take
six
seven
eight
years
to
do
something
and
do
it
halfway
and
then
come
back
again
on
it.
So
I
think
we're
and
I'm
very
heartened
by
the
conversation
from
staff
and
then
the
conversation
and
response
to
councilman
robertson's
questions
on
this.
C
So
if,
in
fact,
we
are
and
I'd
like
to
talk
about
this,
I
hope
that
more
length
at
the
retreat,
but
if
we
are
in
fact
really
putting
all
efforts
into
this
this
comprehensive
plan
and
looking
at
this
and
saying
we
don't
want
something
to
take
forever,
because
you
always
we're
playing
catch
up
and
re
redoing
stuff,
we've
done
four
or
five
times.
C
So
I'm
very
heartened
with
the
the
approach
on
this.
You
know
at
the
start
of
this
and
talking
about
it
seemed
like
this
was
another
seven
eight
year
project,
but
if
we,
if
we
can
in
two
three
years,
really
put
this
thing
together
and
move
it
forward,
then
we're
gonna
be
where
we
need
to
be
all
these.
C
Things
are
easy
to
talk
about,
and
I'm
glad
that
the
staff
is
really
laying
this
out
as
this
is
and
that
we're
it's
up
to
the
council
now,
I
think,
to
help
get
the
resources
to
focus
it
and
move
quickly
and
part
of
the
reasons
we
have
taken
so
long
with
things,
because
council
has
taken
so
long
on
things.
C
So
I'm
hoping
that-
and
you
know
I
could
sit
here
and
ask
a
lot
of
questions
back
and
forth.
I
think
we'll
get
those
answered,
but
I
think
the
important
thing
is
that
we
have
the
the
a
very
positive.
Let's
do
this.
We
can
do
it
approach
on
this
and
plus
being
able
to
have
continue
to
have
really
good
conversations
about
this
back
and
forth,
because
it's
going
to
take
all
our
efforts,
but
if
we
can
commit
to
this
and
commit
to
this
plan,
have
more
certainty
in
it.
C
Look
more
at
the
timing
of
this
thing
and
actually
have
going
forward
conversations
among
the
council
where
we
go
back
and
forth
and
really
work
on
this
and
come
up
with
a
good
solutions,
and
I
I
think
we
can
do
this.
Otherwise,
we've
got
a
big
kind
of
a
situation
we
could
step
into
and
really
not
not
do
too
well.
So
I'm
excited
about
this.
C
I
think
it's
good
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
again
having
some
real
hard
discussions
on
this
and
when
it
comes
down
to
it
when
time
to
make
decisions
comes
up,
the
council
has
got
to
take
its
responsibilities
and
make
the
decisions
and
work
on
those.
So.
D
Yes,
you
know,
I
really
appreciate
all
of
the
the
work
that
you
put
in
to
try
to
thread
a
needle
through
the
the
resources
we
have
available
and
trying
to
to
wrangle
all
of
the
priorities
into
this
work
plan.
I
think
it
is
somewhat
stuffing
five
pounds
inch
or
10
pounds
into
a
five
pound
bag
at
times,
and
so
I
understand
the
challenge.
D
I
agree
that
we
need
to
move
with
with
urgency
so
that
we
understand
how
we're
going
to
meet
our
growth
targets,
and
I
appreciate
moving
the
tree
canopy
up
so
that
the
pre-designed
work
is
starting
next
quarter
instead
of
waiting
until
the
summer.
So
I
appreciate
that
I
really
appreciate
the
comments
that
have
been
made
so
far
about
leveraging
synergy
and
timing
and
opportunity
of
looking
at
these
pieces
that
are
should
be
looked
at
together.
So
I
appreciate
that
effort.
D
I
would
say
that
to
that
end,
when
I
read
the
memo
in
bullet
number
two,
where
we
talk
about
priorities
that
also
include
protecting
the
environment,
you
know
to
me,
then
I
want
to
understand
how
postponing
the
environmental
stewardship
efforts
until
beyond
2030
2023
will
actually
get
us
to
the
50
greenhouse
gas
emissions
by
2030..
So
it's
I,
I
don't
see
a
pathway
forward.
Perhaps
I'm
missing
something
from
a
staff
standpoint:
how
waiting
until
2024
is
going
to
give
us
any
prayer
of
getting
to
that
50
greenhouse
gas
emissions
by
2030.?
D
So
I
spent
last
week
in
washington
dc
at
the
national
league
of
cities,
and
what
I
clearly
heard
is
that
from
the
bipartisan
infrastructure
bill,
there
is
a
lot
of
grant
funding
available
and
some
of
those
funds
will
be
available
for
things
like
greening
our
fleet,
and
so
how
do
we
make
sure
that
I
see
that
on
the
electrification?
D
That's
in
the
beyond
2023
the
other
pieces
of
the
esp
is
is
also
in
the
beyond
2023,
and,
it
sure
seems
to
me
there's
an
opportunity
if
we
look
at
how
we
move
some
of
those
how
we
actually
have
resources
to
work
on
those.
It
is
also
synergy
that
I
think
is
very
important
for
us
beyond.
2023
also
has
living
building
green
building
update
and
especially
if
we
are
going
to
be
updating
our
working
on
wilberton
and
bell
ridden
look
back.
D
It
seems
to
me
that
we
need
to
be
looking
at
these
sustainability
and
green
elements
so
that
we
can
incentivize
developers
to
build
more
green,
because
anything
we
build
in
the
next
now
is
going
to
last
well
over
50
years,
and
so
when
we
look
at
our
greenhouse
gas
emissions
targets,
anything
that
we're
building
now
will
be
part
of
that
usage
of
greenhouse
gas
and
energy.
So
those
are
some
things
that
I've
been
thinking
about.
D
I
do
like
moving
forward
with
the
grand
connection,
because
what
I
also
heard
when
I
was
in
dc
is
that
there
are
going
to
be
grants
related
to
connecting
reconnecting
communities,
so
that
would
be
putting
lids
over
freeways,
which
is
certainly
what
our
grand
connection
phase
two
includes.
So
I
think
there's
some
synergy
of
getting
our
planning
work
underway
so
that
we
can
hopefully
be
shovel
ready
to
be
more
eligible
for
a
lot
of
this
grant.
Funding.
D
That's
going
to
be
coming
down
from
the
the
federal
government,
in
fact
they're
going
from
four
programs
to
23
programs
in
the
next
five
years
with
that
infrastructure
bill.
So
anyway,
I
think
that
when
we
move
into
the
retreat,
that
would
certainly
be
an
op
the
opportunity
for
us
to
talk
about
all
the
priorities
each
of
us
have
and-
and
it's
almost
like
a
a
puzzle
where
we
have
to
figure
out
how
all
the
pieces
need
to
fit
together.
So
I
look
forward
to
the
conversation.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
R
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
First
of
all,
I
like
the
plan
presented.
I
think
that
we
talk
about
so
many
moving
pieces.
So
many
departments-
interdepartmental
effort-
that's
all
going
on
here.
You
know
that's
what
the
city,
development
and
planning
is
about.
So
I
think
this
is
commendable.
There's
a
a
guidebook
or
guide
map.
I
call
this.
R
It's
a
good
guide
map.
However,
you
know
it
gives
us
some
idea
of
how
pieces
are
fitting
and
how
common
denominator
that
we
share
what
our
common
goal
that
we
all
look
forward
to.
However,
you
know,
we
also
recognize
modification
updates
happen,
so
we
need
to
be
nimble
in
that
sense,
you
know,
like
we
talk
about
opportunity
happen.
Infrastructure
money
is
available.
R
Where
do
we?
How
can
we
get
some?
You
know
additional
financial
support
and
we
talk
about
where
it's
available.
We
talk
about
infrastructure,
we
talk
about
technology,
we
talk
about
transportation,
you
know
5g
ai,
we
city
as
smart
city
initiative.
You
know
which
affect
environmental
stewardship
affect
economic
development.
R
So
you
know
this
vision.
Zero
is
another
one.
So
there's
a
lot
of
things.
I
think
we
can
emphasize,
depending
on
the
opportunity
and
timing,
so
I
think
that
the
idea
of
nimbleness
is
important,
very
important,
otherwise
we'll
miss
the
opportunity.
R
R
The
more
importantly
which
I
think
has
been
sort
of
emphasizes
this.
The
city
council
needs
to
be
put
on
the
same
page,
because
we
need
to
have
community
input,
community
engagement
and
we
represent
the
community,
we're
elected
to
present
them.
So
I
think
this
is
where
we
come
in,
and
we
know
generally
speaking,
what's
the
guy
map
look
like,
but
we
need
to
communicate
with
the
public
so
that
we
can
share
and
update
and
be
relevant.
R
Another
thing
is
that
you
know
this
provides
some
predictability,
because
we
have
a
road
map
which
is
good
and
again
requires
vision,
vision
of
whom
of
the
community
right.
He
loves.
The
public
involves
the
engagement
of
public.
Again,
I
think
the
city
council
is
a
big
piece
of
it,
and
so
I
believe
some
of
this
need
to
be
looked
at.
You
know
at
the
concert
retreat
and
the
various
other
means
that
we
can
establish
that
credibility
and
the
other.
Another
thing
is
suppose
I
always
say
double
is
in
the
detail.
R
You
know
we
have
a
guide
map,
that's
and
that's
the
challenges,
and
I
think
I
appreciate
the
staff.
You
know
you
have
to
work
on
that
and
to
work
on
the
details.
You
know,
if
you
don't
have
a
road
map
guide
might
be
all
over
the
place
and
that's
very
difficult.
That's
why
we're
so
time
consuming
when
we
develop
something
you
know
we
go
through
five
times,
because
we
don't
know
where
we
start
and
where
we
react,
but
with
the
guide
map
we
at
least
have
some
as
it's
all.
You
know.
R
I
think
that's
good
some
starting
point,
so
I
believe
that
I
mentioned
about
transmission
technology
economic
development.
I
think
we
need
to
put
some
more
emphasis
on
the
list
that
we're
doing.
I
don't
think
I
think
we're
very
light
on
that.
I
really
believe
that
we
need
to
put
more
concrete
project
that
we
need
to
address,
so
I
I
like
that.
You
know
councilmember
robertson
mentioned
about
belarus
horrible.
What
we
want
and
the
question
is
you
know
what
can
we
do?
R
I
think
what
we
can
do
is,
for
example,
like
bellred
colorado.
You
talk
about
bellred,
look
back.
I
think
it's
great,
that
you
change
it
to
beauret
look
forward.
I
think
that's
important,
because
that's
what
going
to
help
us
to
meet
the
2050
projection
of
jobs
and
housing,
and
I
think
we
do
a
great
job
with
housing-
we're
doing
very
well
very
good,
very
well,
but
I
think
we
need
to
apply
similar
kind
of
opportunity
and
yeah
so
that
we
can
predict
so
we
can
start
working
on
hiring
people
building
resources.
R
Looking
at
other
resources,
including
financial
resources,
we
have
great
corporate
citizens
now
in
our
city
that
are
willing
to
help
and
chip
in,
and
I
think
that's
what
we
need
to
take
advantage
of.
So
I
like
that
a
lot.
This
is
a
good
thing.
Predictability
for
my
vision
at
all
get
us
all
on
the
same
page,
but,
more
importantly,
we
need
to
be
nimble
to
make
changes
to
be
relevant
and
update.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
councilmember
lee
deputy
mayor,
followed
by
councilmember
barksdale.
G
Thank
you
mayor
and
thank
you
mike
and
emil,
and
liz
and
trisna
for
putting
out
a
lot
of
effort
and
thought
into
this
presentation
tonight,
and
you
know,
there's
been
a
lot
of
good
comments
by
my
colleagues
as
well
and
I'll
add
on
to
that
that
this
is
as
councilmember
lee
just
mentioned.
G
You
know
great
a
great
road
map
as
as
we
go
forward,
and
I
particularly
like
the
thoughtful
approach
on
slide
nine
in
terms
of
the
work
plan
prioritization,
but
that
really
helps
you
know,
move
this
forward
and
an
understanding
for
the
council,
as
well
as
the
the
public
in
terms
of
where
these
projects
fall
and
why
the
order
that
they
they're
in
currently
that's
not
to
say.
G
I
I
think
that
there
should
be
some
greater
conversation
about
this,
as,
as
the
council
member
robertson
brought
up
earlier,
as
as
the
council,
I
really
think
we
need
to
frame
and
have
a
bit
of
a
longer
discussion
about
this.
Obviously,
the
two
of
the
more
pressing
issues
in
terms
of
we
need
to
create
a
more
affordable
housing
at
the
same
time
we're
trying
to
balance
that
with
a
tree
core
tr
a
tree
code
ordinance.
So
you
know
it's
always
balanced.
G
We
always
have
to
consider
these
things
together,
but
I
think
that
we
need
to
have
that
conversation
a
little
bit
more
about
that.
How
that
fits
in,
because
certainly
that
is
both
of
these
things-
are
our
top
priorities
for
the
for
the
council,
but
and
that's
what
they
say.
They
can't
go
together
in
some
ways
they
can,
but
maybe
in
some
ways
they
can.
G
So
I
think
that'd
be
really
good
for
conversation
at
the
retreat,
and
you
know
I
think
councilmember
stokes
made
a
good
point
as
well
in
terms
of
just
the
the
the
the
timing
of
this
and
the
aggressiveness
of
this.
G
Personally,
I
feel
like
we
could
be
a
little
bit
more
aggressive
when
I,
when
I
start
to
think
about
you
know,
east
maine
took
us
what
seven
years
and
right
now,
unfortunately,
it
looks
like
world
boutin
is
kind
of
on
that
same
track
and
there's
an
opportunity
cost
to
that.
The
longer
we
wait
the
longer
we're
unable
to
provide
further
or
allow
development
to
provide
affordable
housing
and
housing
options
in
our
city.
So
to
me,
that's
an
opportunity
cost,
as
well
as
as
a
mail.
G
G
As
we
know
that
is
you
know
a
core
piece
of
the
of
the
grand
connection
and
the
most
expensive
piece.
I
would
hate
to
lose
out
on
that
opportunity
that
could
help
us
create
something
incredible
and
much
needed
in
our
in
our
city.
So
those
are
just
some
of
my
initial
thoughts
on
this
and
I
look
forward
to
more
conversations
at
the
retreat.
But
again,
I
think
staff's
done
a
tremendous
tremendous
job
on
this
to
date
and
look
forward
to
more
conversation
on
it.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
deputy
mayor,
councilmember,
barksdale,.
S
Thank
you
mayor
thanks
to
staff
for
putting
this
together.
I
think
I
appreciate
all
the
comments
that
have
been
made.
I
guess
I
would
just
also
add
to
those
when
we
think
about
sort
of
the
opportunity
cause
you
know
kind
of.
S
I
don't
know
what
deputy
mayor
said
not
just
in
terms
of
affordable
housing,
but
also
when
we
think
about
affordable
commercial
spaces,
which
I've
brought
up
in
the
past
to
make
sure
that
bottom
that
it
allows
for
mom
and
pop
shops
to
build
or
to
enter
into
the
space.
Especially
when
we
talk
about
equity
and
talk
about,
you
know
tourism
and
attraction.
That's
what's
going
to
draw
people
here,
not
only
against
chain
businesses,
but
they
can
get
that
anywhere.
I
think
we
really
need
to
increase
the
number
of
monocot
shots.
S
It
adds
culture.
It
allows
people
to
also
have
spaces
that
where
they
feel
that
sense
belonging.
So
I
would
love
to
see
that,
as
part
of
the
work
plan,
I'd
love
to
know
where
that
might
fit
in
and
then
the
second
one
we
had
talked
about
the
adus
in
the
past
and
how
it
would
come
back
as
part
of
a
discussion
around
exploring
the
city
like
yba
new
policy
as
part
of
the
affordable
housing
strategy.
S
So
I
would
like
to
see
that
I
I
assume
it
would
fit
into
the
affordable
housing
work
plan.
Next
right
work
just
like
to
get
confirmation
on
that
and
then
the
responsive.
He
had
a
slide
that
had
responsive
to
city
needs
that
had
a
few
points,
such
as
equity
sustainability,
economic
development,
so
forth.
S
J
N
Thank
you,
councilmember.
I
did
want
to
address
a
couple
of
them
and
I'll
ask
also
ask
amelia
our
tristan
to
join
in
as
well
regarding
the
mom
and
pop.
We
have
opportunities
for
that
through
all
of
these
planning
initiatives
and
the
comp
plan
periodic
upgrade,
I
think,
weaving
that
into
the
wilberton
workbook
moving
forward
with
and
the
bellred
work,
there's
a
lot
of
opportunities
to
look
at
how
we
can
most
successfully
promote
some
of
those
businesses.
N
The
gadu
is
a
potential
item
and
the
affordable
housing
for
the
next
right
work.
So
that
is
something
that
is
in
that
possible
realm
of
work
within
the
plan
and
I'm
going
to
ask
emil
or
trisna
to
speak
a
little
bit
more
about
how
we're
going
to
that
next
stage
of
prioritizing
what
is
actually
worked
on,
and
I
think
you
also
talked
about
how
is
sustainability
and
equity?
How
did
those
come
in?
We
are
looking
at
that
in
all
of
our
decisions
when
we
start
to
go
through
this
planning
process.
N
Trista
mentioned
the
quarterly
meetings
that
we
hold,
where
we
have
a
moment
where
the
assistant,
directors
and
directors
get
together,
and
we
kind
of
look
at
what
are
all
these
good
ideas
that
are
bubbling
up
and
which
ones
do
we
work
on?
That's
certainly
a
lens
that
we
try
and
keep
with
all
of
these
and
then
also
rolling
through
in
the
projects.
So
when
we're
in
the
middle
of
wilberton
or
in
the
middle
of
bellred,
how
are
we
keeping
that
lens
active
and
you
know
open
and
viable?
N
So
I
think
that
is
something
that's
on
some
level
trying
as
we
as
we
grow
in
our
understanding,
I
think
we're
making
that
a
basic
tenet
of
the
work
that
we
do.
It's
certainly
there's
more
work
to
be
done.
I
know
that
so
we
kind
of
keep
working
on
that
emil.
Trisna
do
either
of
you
have
any
further
comments
on
the
data
to
you
or
the
equity
issue.
P
I
can
go
in
a
little
bit
on
some
details
on
that.
The
the
dadu
accounts
member
barclay
will
be
part
of
the
next
stripe
work
discussion,
so
that
is
teed
up
to
be
discussed
in
that,
and
then
council
would
be
be
the
ultimate
determiner
of
of
how
to
approach
that
in
the
future.
P
Regarding
the
question
about
the
sustainability,
economic
innovation,
affordable
housing
and
equity
and
inclusion
how
those
were
kind
of
looked
at,
as
trista
mentioned,
we
do
meet
quarterly
with
the
leadership
team,
basically,
department,
heads
and
the
assistant
directors
looking
at
how
to
form
the
work
plan,
so
it
fell
probably
most
closely
to
furthering
or
developing
key
policy
directions.
P
So
as
we
sat
down
and
look
at
all
the
items
on
the
list
that
you
see
in
front
of
you
as
well
as
the
docket,
we
were
trying
to
you
know
kind
of
step
back
and
look
at
the
key
things
that
we
wanted.
This
work
plan
to
really
further
and
and
when
it
came
down
to
it,
it
did
feel
like
it
further
those
four
key
things,
but
we
did
have
a
a
dedicated
discussion
about
you
know.
What's
the
policy
direction,
we
want
to
make
a
big
stride
on
over
this
two-year
period.
A
A
For
prioritization,
I
don't,
I
don't
see
the
sustainability
and
the
equity
being
any
kind
of
a
criteria
for
prioritization
of
projects
as
much
as
I
see
as
a
value
statement
for
what
has
to
be
included
in
every
single
project.
That
comes
out
from
here
on
out
and
that's
how
I
view
it
and
I
will
be
pushing
for
that.
I
think
I
appreciate
the
tree
codes
advancing
that
on
the
calendar.
A
I
think
you
know
beyond
the
environmental
impacts,
it's
it's
a
character
issue
for
our
neighborhoods,
and
I
think
that
you
know
I
don't
know
really
what
the
majority
of
neighborhoods
want
out
of
tree
codes.
But
I
know
a
lot
of
people
have
some
strong
feelings
about
it
and
I'm
anxious
to
have
the
public
process
and
hear
from
the
community
really
what
what
is
going
on
here
with
our
neighborhoods.
And
what
do
you
want
to
have
going
on
with
our
neighborhoods?
So
I'm
anxious
to
address
that
the
quasi-judicial
issue
that
council
member
robertson
brought
up.
A
I
am
very
interested
in
addressing
that
as
a
council
to
see
where
we
want
to
go
with
that.
So
I
think
the
retreat
might
be
a
good
place
to
do
that
back
to
the
tree
codes.
I
think
if
we
can
look
to
another
city
as
a
good
example
of
what
we
might
adopt,
that
would
speed
it
up
for
us
a
little
bit
and
there's
lots
of
good
examples
out
there.
A
I
had
two
questions
one:
where
are
we
with
eastgate
when
we
talked
about
growth
areas,
east
states,
another
growth
area,
so
I'd
be
curious.
You
know
where
you
guesstimate
on
this
timeline.
Eastgate's
going
to
be,
and
my
other
question
is:
what
would
it
take
to
advance
our
environmental
goals?
Would
it
take
hiring
more
staff?
Do
we
have
the
capacity
as
a
city
to
create
more
programs
or
whatever
it
takes
to
implement
these
goals
and
and
carry
them
out,
or
do
we
need
more
code
writers
to
actually
make
the
codes?
A
I
know
it's
one
thing
to
come
up
with
the
idea:
it's
another
one
to
make
it
a
code
and
it's
another
thing
to
implement
it.
So
I'm
wondering
what
did
what
would
it
take
to
advance
our
environmental
goals
that
we
have
put
off
for
a
couple
of
years?
But
I
also
understand
that
a
lot
of
the
work
we're
doing
with
the
comp
plan
and
including
environmental
standards,
and
that
is
going
to
advance
our
environmental
goals
pretty
quickly.
So
those
were
my
two
questions.
N
Thank
you
mayor.
I
think
it's
a
challenging
question
of
what
will
be
able
to
you
know,
make
the
environmental
goals
advance
more
quickly.
Certainly
there
are
some
questions
around
capacity
of
not
just
staff,
but
also
of
the
planning
commission
and
council
in
the
community
to
engage
in
these
really
important
conversations
and
to
do
them.
So
there
is
some
of
that.
N
We
have
looked
at
trying
to
extend
some
of
our
capacity
by
taking
on
and
using
some
consultants,
so
we're
looking
at
that
for
the
trico
to
try
and
you
know
kind
of
leverage
our
power
to
do
that.
So
I
think
there
are
you
know
some
ways
we
can
do
that.
We
also
can
really
work
at
how
we
advance
these
initiatives
through
the
other
planning
efforts
as
well.
I
think
council
members
on
was
mentioning
you
know:
incentives
for
green
building
things
like
that.
N
We
have
great
opportunities
with
both
bellred
and
wilberton
to
actually
up
the
bar
on
that.
If
that's
a
council
priority
that
we
want
to
move
forward,
I
think
we
have
some
opportunities
today
in
front
of
us
of
things
that
we
can
do,
and
we
will
continue
to
work
with
jennifer
ewing
and
the
environmental
stewardship
group
to
look
for
other
ways
that
we
can
build
into
our
current
work
plan
as
well.
N
I
also
just
want
to
kind
of
provide
some
thoughts
that
I
guess
the
land
use
code
and
long-range
planning
are
not
the
only
areas
where
we
are
looking
at
different
ways
to
promote
the
goals
of
the
environmental
stewardship
initiative.
So
we
have
projects
in
transportation,
we
have
projects
and
utilities
and
all
over
and
it
might
be.
N
I
think
we
can
kind
of
look
at
some
of
that
as
well,
when
we
think
about
how
we
can
incorporate
this
work
into
the
city
as
a
whole,
so
we
we
will
certainly
look
at
what
are
there
any
ways
we
can
move
things
up?
You
know,
as
we
discussed
earlier.
If
we
have
counsel,
if
there
are
specific
things,
we
can
certainly
look
at
that
and
see
you
know.
Is
there
something
we
can
do
to
move
them
up?
N
So
understand
a
lot
of
urgency
that
I
hear
from
the
council
and
and
respect
that
very
much
obviously
eastgate.
We
did
have
a
series
of
code
amendments.
I
think,
what
about
four
years
ago,
three
four
years
ago
now
and
we
have
not
seen
a
lot
of
development
get
out
there.
We
do
have
one
major
project
that
has
come
in
that
we're
kind
of
looking
at.
N
We
have
also
had
some
rezones,
which
signals
that
there
will
be
more
development,
so
I
think,
within
the
next
few
years,
we'll
really
start
to
see
some
things
popping,
which
is
similar
to
bell
rapper.
It
took
a
little
bit
of
time
for
people
to
kind
of
get
started,
but
now
we've
seen
a
lot
of
development
in
bellred,
so
certainly
I'd
be
happy
to
look
into
that
a
little
bit
more
and
give
you
a
more
comprehensive
look
in
the
future.
If
we
could
schedule
that.
A
Okay,
yeah,
I
can,
I
can
meet
up
with
you
also
I'm
I'm
curious.
If
we've
even
implemented,
you
know
the
the
affordable
housing
criteria
that
we've
put
in
to
other
areas,
because
maybe
we
weren't
thinking
that
way
when
we
did
eastgate
so
I'd
be
curious
to
know
that
okay.
Well,
thank
you.
That's
a
great
conversation
if
you
feel
like
you've
gotten
the
input
staff
that
you
need
to
move
forward.
N
A
Great,
thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you.
Okay,
it
is
7
30
just
about.
Let's
take
a
10
minute
break.
It's
we'll
re
group
at
7,
35.
M
Yes,
robinson
accounts
members.
The
next
topic
on
your
study
session
agenda
is
both
an
informational
update
on
development
activity
throughout
the
city
and
a
request
for
additional
staffing.
Tonight's
presentation
included
an
overview
of
major
projects,
performance
data
and
customer
feedback
following
discussion,
staff
will
request
that
council
authorize,
adding
12,
full-time
employee
positions
and
direct
staff
to
bring
back
appropriate
legislation
on
a
future
consent.
M
Council
calendar
joining
us
this
evening
are
great
schrader,
interim
co-director
and
liz
stead,
the
other
interim
co-director,
as
well
as
jake
hesselgrasser
from
the
business
and
services,
who
is
the
business
services
director
all
three
from
the
development
services
department.
With
that,
I'm
just
going
to
go
ahead
and
hand
it
off
to
the
team.
T
Thank
you,
mr
miake
good
evening,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor
council
members
this
evening
will
provide
an
update
on
major
projects
and
overall
development
activity,
and
we
are
seeking
council
direction,
as
mr
miyake
said,
on
a
request
for
12
full-time
employee
positions
to
keep
up
with
the
record-setting
level
of
development.
That's
continued
for
over
eight
years
now
the
requested
positions
are
all
fee
supported
and
are
needed
to
maintain
service
levels.
Next
slide.
Please.
T
N
Thank
you
greg
good
evening
again.
Everyone
I'm
here
this
evening,
I'm
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
some
of
the
exciting
development
activity
we've
been
seeing
in
the
city
and
I'm
going
to
start
out
with
a
major
project
snapshot.
This
is
a
document
that
we
update
quarterly,
and
you
can
see
that
this
is
our
most
recent
one.
On
the
left
hand
side
you
can
see
that
the
downtown
manager
projects
we
have
just
a
lot
every
one
of
these
circles
and
squares
and
triangles
reflect
some
level
of
development.
N
So
we
have
15
projects
in
design
review.
We
have
five
large
projects
under
building
permit
review
and
we
have
14
right
now
under
construction.
We
also
have
a
lot
more
in
the
pipeline
that
are
still
coming
at
us.
Then
bellred.
We
also
have
a
lot
of
development
growth.
We
are
certainly
seeing
so
much
development
out
there.
We
have
eight
design
review
projects
two
in
the
building
permit.
Nine
of
them
are
under
construction.
N
We
still
have
more
coming
in
the
door
every
day,
just
some
kind
of
representative
examples
of
some
of
the
work
we're
seeing
in
bellred.
We
are
seeing
some
cranes,
which
is
always
fun
to
see.
We
always
try
and
count
the
cranes
both
in
bell
red
and
downtown,
but
you
can
see
we
have
a
a
real
range
of
development
that
we're
seeing.
We
have
mixed-use
projects,
both
northup
and
big.
N
One
are
both
multi-family
mixed-use
projects,
and
then
we
also
have
commercial
project
block
six
of
the
spring
district
and,
lastly,
we're
seeing
the
east
link
130th
station
completing
along
with
the
spring
district
station
and
those
are
really
galvanizing
development.
We're
seeing
a
lot
of
mixed-use
multi-family
projects
bring
up
around
the
stations.
N
One
of
the
nice
things
about
bellredde
is:
we
actually
have
a
lot
of
different
types
of
housing
coming
in
there.
This
is
the
part
of
town
where
you'll
see
town
homes
and
you'll
also
see
the
multi-family
projects
such
as
the
bellevue
station
summer
hill
highland
park,
and
then
we're
still
seeing
again,
these
great
great
commercial
projects
in
the
spring
district,
so
block
13
and
block
block
15,
and
I
don't
know
if
you've
had
a
chance
to
be
out
there
lately,
but
the
spring
district
is
just
almost
fully
built
out.
N
We
have
found
that
you
know
having
all
sorts
of
different
living
types
for
people
at
different
stages
in
their
life
is
really
important.
So
it's
been
good
to
see
this
coming
on
board
also
in
downtown.
As
you
all
know,
we
have
a
lot
of
office
moving
along,
so
the
1001
office
towers
are
two
of
the
major
projects,
but
we
also
have
the
new
eastlake
downtown
station
and
if
you
have
a
chance
to
come
out
and
look
at
that,
it's
really
coming
along
nicely.
N
N
Here's
where
we
get
to
the
really
big
projects.
So
these
are
the
600
foot
tall
towers
that
we
probably
never
thought
we
would
see
before,
but
with
downtown
livability
and
the
work
that
council
did
to
create
this
opportunity.
We
are
seeing
people
take
advantage
of
it.
So
these
are
three
three
of
the
projects
that
are
under
construction.
N
The
project
on
the
right,
bellevue
plaza,
is
going
to
have
three
separate
towers
within
that
one
project
area:
the
600
bellevue
phase,
one
is
actually
under
construction
today,
just
kitty
corner
to
the
city
hall
and
555
108th
avenue
northeast
right
by
the
headquarter
is
really
a
great
project.
It's
not
only
a
fantastic
tall
building,
but
it
also
is
going
to
reflect
the
design
guidelines
that
council
worked
on
for
the
brand
connection.
So
that's
kind
of
exciting,
as
that
comes
to
fruition.
N
Some
of
the
other
major
projects
that
are
still
in
review.
You
can
see
in
the
right
hand,
side
it's
600,
bellevue
phase
two,
so
we've
got
phase
one
under
construction
phase,
two
we're
reviewing
and
those
projects
will
be
taken
by
amazon
will
be
used
working
in
those
the
projects
at
the
top
pinnacle
north
and
pinnacle
south
are
in
the
northwest
part
of
downtown,
and
those
ones
are
interesting
because
they're,
mainly
residential
with
some
retail,
so
those
are
the
ones
that
will
have
the
existing
qfc.
N
N
N
With
that,
I'm
going
to
turn
this
over
to.
I
will
go
through
this
development
activity
webpage
quickly.
First
sorry,
I
know
that
you've
all
probably
seen
this
previously,
but
these
are
ways
that
you
can
keep
your
finger
on
the
pulse
of
what's
happening.
We
have
the
building
bell
view
map
the
major
projects
list,
the
permit
timelines,
open
data
portal
and
weekly
permit
bulletin.
All
of
those
are
available
on
the
internet
site
at
the
bellevuewa.gov
development
activity.
F
Thank
you
liz
good
evening,
mayor
deputy
mayor
and
council
members.
It's
great
to
be
with
you
this
evening,
as
miss
stead
highlighted.
This
has
continued
to
really
be
a
remarkable
development
cycle
with
many
projects
moving
through
the
pipeline
and
to
provide
some
additional
context
and
the
magnitude
of
what
we're
seeing
I'd
like
to
walk
us
through
some
of
the
key
performance
indicators
related
to
permit
volumes
and
the
forecast
and
then
talk
a
little
bit
about
continuous
improvement
and
customer
feedback.
F
F
F
The
lower
line
here
represents
the
single-family
reinvestment
applications,
which
are
those
remodels
and
additions
to
existing
homes,
while
the
upper
line
represents
the
total
family
permit
applications
which
includes
both
new
build
or
new
construction,
single
family
and
those
residential
remodels
that
are
shown
in
the
lower
line
and,
as
you
can
see,
we
hit
an
all-time
record
high
again
with
over
1100
single-family
applications
received
in
total
next
slide.
Please.
F
This
next
slide
is
where
we
really
start
to
see
the
magnitude
of
the
level
of
investment
being
made
across
the
city.
This
slide
shows
the
total
construction
value
associated
with
issued
building
permits
broken
down
by
years.
We
move
left
to
right
on
the
chart.
The
different
patterns
in
each
bar
include
new
single
family
residential
projects.
F
Next
slide,
please.
This
next
slide
shows
another
metric
we
watch
fairly
closely,
which
is
the
total
square
footage
of
major
projects
under
construction
throughout
the
city.
The
bar,
on
the
right
hand,
side
shows
the
total
square
footage
under
construction
at
the
end
of
2021,
with
the
other
bars
representing
the
year-end
totals
for
the
previous
years.
F
The
projects
included
in
this
metric
are
all
at
various
stages
of
construction
from
those
that
may
just
be
breaking
ground
to
those
that
are
nearing
certificate
of
occupancy
phase.
What
we
see
here
is
a
significant
increase
in
that
square
footage
under
construction,
which
is
signaling
demands
for
inspection
services
further
into
2022
and
beyond,
as
many
of
these
projects
are
now
underway,
with
several
more
moving
towards
the
construction
phase
in
the
near
future.
F
F
As
we've
reported
to
council
in
the
past
development
services
maintains
a
real-time
customer
survey.
That's
sent
out
at
various
stages
of
the
permitting
and
inspection
process.
What
we
hear
from
our
customers
and
customers
on
a
fairly
regular
basis
is
high
satisfaction
when
our
services
are
predictable
and
understandable.
F
We
also
hear
about
opportunities
where
we
might
improve
services
and
we
use
that
feedback
to
plan
continuous
improvement
efforts.
One
example
that
we've
identified
through
customer
feedback
is
to
further
simplify
the
application
process
by
improving
our
public-facing
information
on
the
city
website
and
streamlining
the
submittal
process
through
mybuildingpermit.com.
F
While
many
customer
customers
report
high
satisfaction
with
the
application
process,
the
feedback
really
has
revealed
some
targeted
areas
where
we
can
improve
that
customer
experience
by
focusing
some
attention
in
that
area.
Another
way
we
look
to
make
continuous
improvements
is
the
way
we
leverage
technology.
F
F
And
then,
finally,
on
the
continuous
improvement
front,
I
would
just
like
to
share
an
example
of
how
customer
feedback
has
helped
us
leverage
existing
technology
to
improve
customer
service.
During
the
pandemic,
we
heard
from
a
number
of
our
customers
that
they
preferred
to
have
an
option
where
they
could
access
city
staff
for
general,
permitting
questions
in
a
more
convenient
manner.
F
In
response
to
that
feedback,
we
worked
with
our
information
technology
department
to
launch
a
virtual
permit
center,
where
customers
are
able
to
schedule
an
online
appointment
with
staff
to
get
their
general
questions
answered
very
similar
to
the
walk-in
services
at
city
hall.
The
feedback
we've
heard
from
customers
using
this
service
has
been
positive,
with
high
satisfaction
rates
and
customers
citing
convenient
access
to
services.
F
This
has
really
been
an
exciting
phase
in
the
other
evolution
of
our
service
delivery
model
and,
as
I
like
to
think
of
it,
it's
it's
really
about
a
shift
where
we're
bringing
our
services
to
a
place,
that's
convenient
for
our
customers
and
that
place
may
be
at
city
hall.
It
may
be
out
on
a
job
site
in
the
field,
or
it
may
be
a
customer
taking
a
short
break
during
their
busy
day
to
connect
with
a
staff
member
over
a
virtual
meeting.
F
This
really
highlights
a
good
news
story
where
we've
been
identifying
and
implementing
technology
to
improve
customer
service,
which
is
a
council
priority,
a
huge
thanks
to
our
it
department
for
supporting
us
in
this.
This
effort
next
slide.
Please,
and
with
that
I'll
turn
it
back
to
mr
schrader
to
conclude
the
presentation.
T
Thanks
jake,
so,
as
we
noted
at
the
beginning,
we
are
seeking
direction
on
a
request
for
positions
which
we
believe
are
essential
to
maintaining
the
service
levels.
Our
customers
need
next
slide.
Please
there
are
some
notable
challenges
we've
faced
recently,
one
is
the
increase
in
complexity
of
the
projects
with
taller
buildings
in
the
downtown
core.
Another
has
been
the
challenge
to
maintain
predictable
service.
During
this
extensive
and
intensive
development
cycle,
coupled
with
difficulty
in
hiring
new
staff.
T
T
I
want
to
speak
for
a
moment
about
return
on
investment.
When
council
considers
additional
development
services
positions,
the
requested
positions
are
fee
supported,
which
means
that
we
recover
the
cost
for
the
city
to
provide
the
service,
but
the
implication
to
our
customers
of
not
adding
the
capacity
is
considerable.
T
A
A
So
we're
discussing
the
proposal
to
add
12
full-time
employees
for
development
services,
so
I
see
deputy
mayor
has
his
hand
up
first.
If
anybody
has
comments
or
questions,
please
put
your
hand
up
so
deputy
mayor,
followed
by
council
members
on
go
ahead.
G
Thank
you
mayor
and
first
thanks
for
the
great
update,
my
goodness,
there's
a
lot
going
on
in
bellevue,
just
fantastic
and
kudos
to
the
entire
department
for
being
able
to
keep
pace
more
or
less
with
this
tremendous
growth
and
and
strain
on
the
department
in
order
to
keep
up
with
all
with
all
the
permits.
It's
it's
it's
it's
quite
something,
especially
when
you
consider
that
when
we
see
the
the
graph
chart
start
to
go
up
that
was
during
the
pandemic.
G
When
we
had
to
shift
to
a
slightly
different
model,
there
was
more
strain
put
on
our
online
permitting
process,
but
by
all
indications
it
certainly
seems
as
if
you
know
that
was
that
was
able
to
do
well
and
help
keep
projects
on
time.
So
my
real
question
here
is
so
about
about
the
12
folks,
so
maybe
gray,
this
might
be
more
directed
towards
you,
but
the
number
of
12
and
you
laid
out
the
the
the
12
different
positions,
which
is
great,
and
I
really
appreciate
the
roi
on
this
as
well.
G
I
made
it
very
clear
that
you
know
these.
These
positions
will
be
funded
by
the
fees
that
we
get
as
a
city
from
these
projects,
but
why
those
positions-
and
then
second
of
all,
is
12
enough.
G
I
would
hate
to
see
a
year
from
now,
two
years
from
now
we're
still
not
being
able
to
keep
up
with
the
demand
and,
as
you
said
so
rightly
multiple
times,
it's
it's
about
predictability
and
understandable.
So
hopefully
they
have
that.
You
know
the
understanding
is
there,
but
we
really
need
to
keep
up
with
that
predictability,
and
if
we're
not
able
to
do
that,
I
think
that's
really.
When
we
start
to
let
lag
behind
on
a
lot
of
these
projects.
G
T
Thank
you,
deputy
mayor.
Well,
each
quarter
we
update
the
workload
forecast
for
each
team
on
in
the
entire
review
and
inspection
process
and,
as
those
quarterly
updates
are,
are
created.
There's
a
meeting
and
a
conference
with
members
of
that
team
to
ensure
that
the
they
have
appropriate
resource
to
handle
the
upcoming
anticipated
workload.
Now
it's
not
an
exact
science
to
trying
to
predict
the
workload,
but
I
think
it's
been
fairly
reliable
over
the
years.
T
We
are
also
in
close
contact
with
developers
to
understand
their
schedules
for
application
and
construction
of
projects,
so
the
positions
that
we've
identified
are
targeted
where
we
see
the
metrics
indicating
that
the
resource
is
needed.
Now
we
also
have
the
two-year
budget
process
for
23-24
starting
and
we're
evaluating
potential
needs
for
positions
as
part
of
that
process.
These
that
ask
this
evening
is
really
targeted
at
positions
that
we
believe
we
need
before
the
end
of
this
year
and
against
the
off
cycle
request.
G
F
Certainly,
thank
you
for
the
question
deputy
mayor.
I
think
what
we
hear
from
our
customers
about
the
regional
portal
is
that
they
like
it.
It's
easy
to
use
it's
intuitive.
F
We
do
have
some
areas
where
we,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
where
we
have
some
marked
targeted
kind
of
process
improvement
where
we
can
simplify
things
in
the
future
here
in
the
next
budget
cycle,
we'll
also
be
looking
at
how
we
can
include
front-end
intake
automation,
solution
solutions
with
our
permit
tracking
system,
as
we
complete
that
upgrade,
which
will
further
lead
to
efficiencies
in
the
process,
so
forward,
thinking
and
looking
at
what
we
can
do
in
the
future.
To
improve
and
streamline
that
process
is
certainly
something
that
we're
focused
on.
Okay.
Thank
you.
D
Yes,
I
too
want
to
thank
greg,
liz
and
jake.
You
know
that
amount
of
volume
is
is
just
phenomenal
and
you've
been
pretty
much
doing
that
quietly
with
all
of
the
permits.
I
can't
imagine
16
000,
building
permits
and
85
000
inspections
in
a
year
just
how
busy
all
of
the
staff
is,
and
so
I
fully
support
the
new
fte
request
and
especially
since
there's
full
cost
recovery,
so
we're
not
actually
talking
about
additional
funds
from
our
budget.
D
One
of
the
questions
I
I
have
is,
and
I
think
you
talked
about
it-
a
little
bit
right
being
able
to
forecast.
So
as
we
look
at
our
graphs
of
what
we're
actually
seeing
in
terms
of
permits,
if
we
were
to
try
to
project
out,
you
know
the
additional
70
000
jobs
and
35
000
more
housing.
D
D
D
It
was
almost
like
the
virtual
advising
almost
like
the
edoc
being
able
to
help
people,
so
I
think
that's
really
helpful
and
I
just
want
to
confirm,
because
on
our
consent
agenda
there
was
one
about
golder,
providing
consultant
support
for
geotech
and
structural
support,
so
the
the
12
we're
asking
for
that's
in
addition
to
the
augmentation
of
services
from
consultants
that
might
be
doing
some
additional
specialty
items
like
peer
structural
review,
geotech
and
those
types
of
things
correct.
D
T
D
I
do
think
about
the
the
sustainability
component,
so
I
see
that
in
this
ask,
we've
got
six
more
building
inspectors
right
away
inspector.
You
know
transportation,
engineers,
fire
protection
officer.
D
It
seems
to
me
that,
as
we
continue
to
see
this
level
of
permits,
it
would
be
really
helpful
to
have
a
sustainability
person
within
the
department
to
be
able
to
ask
the
kind
of
questions
about
what
are
the.
What
about
sustainability
elements
that
you
could
consider
and
how
do
we
help
the
the
the
builders,
whether
it's
developers
or
homeowners,
with
really
understanding
some
of
the
options
similar
to
for
what
we
do
for
our
production
and
and
looking
at
transportation
and
flow?
D
So
I
I
understand
that
this
is
part
of
the
cost
recovery
and
if
we
were
to
add
sustainability,
it
would
be
an
additional
ask.
I
would
just
say
that
to
the
degrees
city,
manager
and
mayor,
we
can
look
at
incorporating
a
sustainability
staffer
in
addition
to
what
we
already
have
here.
I
think
it's
an
important
piece
as
we
look
at
just
the
volume
of
construction
that
we're
seeing
and
making
sure
that
we
have
resources
to
help
move
people
in
that
direction
as
much
as
we
can.
So.
P
T
The
current
12
positions
are
not
specifically
for
that
purpose.
We
do
look
for
staff
who
can
bring
that
those
sort
of
skills,
along
with
other
expertise,
I
think
a
separate
targeted
program
to
evaluate
code
amendments
and
promote
sustainable
development
would
need
to
be
considered
as
part
of
the
budget
process,
because
it
would
likely
require
general
fund
support,
but
liz.
If
you
would
like
to
add
to
that.
N
N
I
do
believe
you
will
see
that
in
this
upcoming
budget,
through
the
environmental
stewardship
initiative,
we
have
discussed
some
things,
but
at
this
point
it's
not
currently
funded
in
a
fee
recovery
manner
such
as
these
other
positions.
So
that
is
something
that
could
potentially
come
forward
in
the
next
year's
budget.
A
I'm
gonna
ask
you
a
question
that
goes
with
councilmember
zong's
question,
which
is
you
know.
We
haven't
even
made
this
a
requirement
for
permits
that
there
being
a
sustainability
aspect
to
the
development,
but
if
we
were
to
do
that
in
in
the
comp
plan
and
in
our
look
ahead
with
bell
red
and
wilberton,
if
there
was
a
required
sustainability
component
to
development,
then
that
would
certainly
warrant
having
somebody
who
could
assess
those
applications.
N
Right,
yes,
mayor,
I
think
if
that
was
a
required
part
of
the
permit
process,
we
would
need
some
technical
assistance
to.
You
know
move
forward
with
that.
So
that
could
be
something
that
we
think
about
in
the
comp
plan
update
as
we're
looking
at
what
are
those
requirements
for
development
yeah?
I
think.
D
Oh,
I
appreciate
it
mayor
because
this
is
exactly
what
I'm
trying
to
understand,
because
I
do
believe
it's
an
important
element
and
it's
the
chicken
and
the
egg
right
do
we
have
to
have
it
in
policy
first,
or
can
we
start
having
some
staff
that
can
understand
what
are
the
environment,
sustainability
elements
that
developers
might
be
doing
today
that
we
could
see
as
potential
best
practices
that
we
would
want
to
incorporate
and
encourage?
So
I
think
it's
a
it's
a
bit
of
a
chicken
in
the
egg.
Thank
you.
A
Yeah,
I
think
it
needs
to
be
a
value
before
we
start
encouraging
it,
but
I'm
with
you,
okay,
council
member
lee,
followed
by
councilmember,
stokes
and
then
robertson.
R
Thanks
to
interim
co-director,
greg
schrader
endless
dad
for
your
presentation
and
what
a
you
know
exciting
time
and
all
the
wonderful
development
that
really
is
making
bellevue
such
a
great
place.
You
know
to
look
forward
to
in
the
future
and
also,
of
course,
a
lot
of
challenges.
R
So,
thanks
to
you
guys-
and
obviously
I
noticed
that
director
mike
brennan-
is
with
us
and
he's
the
guy
to
either
to
thank
to
for
or
to
blame,
creating
all
these
developments
and
all
these
challenges.
R
But
this
is
a
good
good
problem,
good
thing
to
have,
so
I
fully
support
you
know
having
adequate
resources
to
to
do
this
to
do
this
well,
but
I
do
have
a
couple
of
questions.
One
is
it's
mentioned
about
technology.
You
know
which
is
element.
I
think
by
this,
that
what
we
can
do
it's
important
piece
of
it.
So
I
don't
know
whether
we've
considered
having
more
investment
more
money,
we're
asking
for
12
fte
how
about
technology
in
investment
you
know,
have
you
anticipated?
R
The
question
is
it's
not
just
for
now,
but
even
for
the
future.
That's
also.
The
second
question
is,
I
think,
deputy
mayor
was
asking:
what
are
we
anticipating
the
future?
What
can
we
predict,
and
if
this
continues,
we
perhaps
need
more
than
12
people
and,
of
course
we
also
can
help
by
having
technology
investment
right.
So
what
are
we
looking
at
that
and
it's
important
to
look
a
little
further
ahead,
because
it
takes
time
to
train
and
get
the
new
hire
to
get
up
to
speed.
R
So
I
think
it
would
not
be
a
bad
thing
to
have
some
anticipation.
Maybe
you
can
come
back
to
us
a
little
bit
in
the
future,
so
we
may
need
you
know
another,
how
many
people,
anticipating
the
additional
growth
and
additional
development.
So
those
are
two
questions,
but
it's
similar
one
is
money,
investment
in
technology.
Two
is
you
know
what
is
the
anticipated
need
in
the
future?
Now?
What
are
we
doing
to
invest
in
those
while
getting
prepared
to
ask
for
those
money
to
do
the
work
that
we
need
to.
T
The
12
positions
we're
asking
for
at
this
time
were
really
positions
that
we
did
not
anticipate
because
of
the
additional
surge
of
development
that
that
we
saw,
and
we
believe
that
we
need
to
deploy
these
positions
before
the
end
of
this
year
and
then,
as
I
indicated,
evaluate
what
we
will
need
over
the
next
two
years
beyond
2021.
F
Sure,
thank
you
councilmember
lee
for
that
question
again,
similar
to
what
greg
said
there
on
the
position
side
of
things.
We
will
be
looking
as
part
of
the
next
budget
process
for
additional
technology
investment.
F
As
I
mentioned,
we
are
we're
underway
with
a
major
permit
tracking
system
upgrade
right
now
that
is
going
to
lay
the
foundation
for
more
contemporary
tools
and
as
part
of
that,
we
will
be
coming
back
seeking
council
support
in
the
future
for
additional
outside
consulting
services,
which
we
also
use
on
the
technology
side
of
things
to
supplement
in-house
resources.
So
that
will
be
one
thing
that
we'll
bring
back
and
then,
as
part
of
the
you
know,
23
24
budget
we'll
be
looking
at.
F
What
do
we
need
to
do
over
the
next
two
year
budget
cycle
to
continue
that
investment?
It's
become
a
huge
part
of
the
business
that
we
that
we
run
here
in
development
services
in
the
line
of
business
and
something
that
our
customers
expect,
which
is
timely,
predictable
service
and
easy
access
to
the
information
that
they
need
so
providing
that
to
them
in
an
easy,
understandable
format
and
meeting
them
where
they
are
is
really.
What
we're
focused
on
over
the
future
and
technology
can
serve
a
purpose
in
helping
us.
Do
that.
R
Yeah,
that's
something
I
am
very
interested
in,
because
when
we
use
technology
we
may
not
need
as
many
people
right
and
it's
a
lot
easier
to
get
technology
than
human
beings.
You
know
when
you
don't
have
people,
you
have
problems,
but
technology.
I
hope
you
can
always
have
accessibility
and
better.
So
thank
you
for
working
it
together.
C
Yeah,
it's
a
very
good
conversation.
I
and
I
think
in
listening
to
it
all.
It
was
very
helpful
to
counsel
to
have
come
back
and
have
this
discussion.
I
can't
re
recall
one
kind
at
this
level
in
terms
of
staffing
needs
or
our
resources,
and
so
it's
really
great
to
have
this
the
presentation
and
everything's
right
online,
and
I-
and
I
think
it's
also
important
for
the
public
listening
this
to
know
a
little
bit
more
on
how
we
go
about
this.
C
I
think
it
gives
people
a
sense
that
we're
we're
on
top
of
it,
which
I
think
you
are,
and
in
fact
I
mean
we
can,
I
think,
we're
giving
some
good
suggestions
like
about.
Do
you
need
more?
Can
you
do
more?
How
do
you
approach
this
all
of
these
pieces,
and
I
think
you
know
it
shows
great
interest
in
this,
but
I
I
kind
of
feel
you're
kind
of
ahead
of
the
of
the
curve
on
this,
which
is
good
to
have
these
conversations.
C
This
way
the
I
would
like
to
have
the
sustainability
is
something
I've
been
thinking
about,
since
I
was
since
the
mayor
made
a
comment
right
at
the
end
of
last
council
meeting
and
a
couple
of
people
have
used
that
to
say
to
in
some
letters
to
us
to
talk
about
yeah,
let's
work
on
sustainability
and
when
you
read
it
they're
talking
about
two
different
things.
C
I
would
like
to
have
that
I
kind
of
talk
about
the
sustainability
component,
what
it
really
means,
because
I
think
we're
talking
about
two
or
three
things
at
the
same
time
on
this,
but
it
is,
it
is
a
I'm
glad
the
issue
or
the
question
has
been
brought
forward.
It's
it's
kind
of,
like
the
whole,
the
the
question
on
equity.
These
are
things
that
people
talk
about,
what
does
it
really
mean
and
how
can
we
and
they're
different
aspects
to
it?
And
so,
if
it's
to
me
it's
intriguing.
C
C
This
is
really
good
and
I
I
trust
that
you've
come
through
this
and
and
really
looked
at
it
in
12's
enough
and
as
as
was
said,
if
you
need
more
than
other
budget
cycles
which,
where
I
think
what
we're
telling
you
is
we're
really
supportive
of
this,
and
that
when
you
need
more
resources,
you
know
we're
we're
ready
to
talk
with
you
about
it,
because
it
seems
like
it's
really
going
to
improve
our
the
work
that
we're
able
to
accomplish
much
better
service
to
the
public
and
to
the
developers
who
need
and-
and
you
know,
people
doing
this
work.
C
So
it's
a
it's
a
good
good
news
story
and
I'm
you
know
ready
to
support
this
and
appreciate
very
much
the
work
you've
done
and
bringing
it
forward.
So
thank
you.
Councilmember.
Q
All
right,
thank
you,
so
I'm
supportive
of
the
action.
I
just
have
a
couple
of
very
little
questions.
One
is
when
we,
because
the
needs
for
these
kind
of
positions
is
very
cyclical
with
the
boom
and
the
bust
and
the
growth
and
the
slowdown
which
we
haven't
seen
a
slowdown
in
a
while.
But
we
know
that
eventually
one
will
come
around
traditionally,
if
I
recall
done
these
positions
as
ltes
rather
than
ftes,
but
this
is
being
presented
as
ftes
rather
than
ltes,
and
I
had
a
question
why
that
was.
T
I
can
answer
that
councilmember
robertson.
Thank
you
for
the
question
I
mentioned
earlier
that
we
have
had
some
recruiting
challenges.
Over
the
years.
We've
found
that
recruiting
for
lte
positions
can
be
more
challenging,
especially
in
a
demanding
job
market,
and
so
our
strategy
has
been
to
focus
more
on
fte
positions,
but
I
think
we
also
have
a
record
of
controlling
costs
as
we
go
through
the
development
cycle.
So
when
development
activity
drops,
obviously
we
need
to
reduce
costs
and
we've
done
that
a
number
of
times
in
other
development
cycles.
Q
Well,
that
makes
a
lot
of
sense,
because
I
mean
I
know
that
lots
of
cities
are
looking
for
people
in
the
building
and
planning
departments
and
it's
very
hard
to
find
good
people.
So
that
makes
sense
to
me.
I
understand
that
so
one
of
the
things
that
we
seemed
like
we
could
use
another
of
is
a
code
drafter,
because
we
have
so
many
initiatives
on
updating
the
comp
plan
and
updating
the
land
use
code.
Q
Have
we
considered
adding
someone
who
drafts
the
an
extra
code
drafter
to
the
employee
pool
and
if
not,
why
not?
And
is
that
something
we'll
consider
in
the
future?
We
have
all
these
planning
initiatives,
as
the
last
agenda
item
just
showed,
and
we
need
to
have
people
on
staff
who
can
do
the
work
or
do
we
plan
to
do
that
with
consultants?
I
guess
is
the
the
alternate
question.
N
Yes,
I'd
be
happy
to
thank
you.
The
code
drafter
is
funded
from
the
general
fund,
so
it
is
a
little
bit
different
funding
mechanism,
whereas
the
positions
that
we're
asking
for
today
are
funded
through
development
fees.
So
there
is
potential
that
we
could
ask
for
a
co-drafter
in
the
next
budget
cycle.
We
are
coming
up
on
the
23-24
and
evaluate
how
we
could
do
that.
N
We
are
also
looking
at
using
some
consultants
for
different
work,
certainly
for
the
tree
code
that
we
discussed,
and
there
is
some
other
work
that
we
may
be
able
to
use
some
consultants
to
further
further
our
reach
as
it
were.
But
I
do
think
that
councils
desire
for
code
amendments
is
absolutely
there
and
we
have
a.
We
have
a
heavy
workload
in
front
of
us,
so
we
can
certainly
consider
that
as
a
potential
to
the
budget
coming
up
in
23-24.
Q
Okay,
thank
you
for
administrations
purposes.
I
would
like
to
make
the
ask
that
we
consider
what
our
planning
needs
will
be
in
as
part
of
the
budget
update
this
year
to
make
sure
that
we,
because
we
just
talked
about
all
these
bold
things
that
we
want
to
do.
We
need
to
make
sure
we
have
the
staff
to
help
us
move
that
forward
and
do
it.
So
thank
you
and
I'm
right,
I'm
happy
to
support
this
motion.
Great
thank.
A
You
so
I
I
just
think
it's
great
that
this
is
fee
supported,
and
I
want
to
underscore
that
that
the
development
has
generated
the
fees
to
pay
for
this,
the
staff
that
we're
going
to
hopefully
hire
here.
So
that's
great-
and
I
just
I
want
to
I
say
this
so
many
times
but
again
commend
you
all
for
this
virtual
permit
center
that
you
created
right
before
everything
went
remote.
A
I
cannot
believe
how
fortunate
we
were
as
a
city
that
we
had
a
staff
that
figured
that
out
and
put
it
together
in
time
to
accommodate
the
most
remarkable
two
years
of
development.
Our
city
has
ever
seen
so
we
couldn't
have
had
that.
Had
you
not
put
that
permit
program
together.
So
thank
you
very
much.
So
I
don't
have
any
more
comments
or
questions,
and
I
don't
think
councilmember
barksdale
has
does
not
you
don't
have
your
hand
up.
So
I
think
we're
ready
for
the
vote.
We
have
the
motion
in
a
second.
A
M
Sure
the
last
topic
on
your
study
session
agenda
is
a
presentation
and
discussion
regarding
rules
related
to
council
meetings,
as
well
as
boards
and
commission
meetings
and
live
the
cities
returning
to
in-person
meetings.
M
By
way
background,
the
council
temporarily
suspended
portions
of
its
rules
in
order
to
allow
for
remote
meetings
during
coven
and
to
facilitate
the
most
efficient
delivery
of
a
genome
state
council.
Tonight
staff
is
going
to
present
options
to
council
for
potential
rural
changes
to
take
into
effect
when
council
returns
in
person
and
potential
bail
city
code
amendments
regarding
remote
participation
of
the
council
appointed
boards
and
commissions.
M
At
the
end
of
the
presentation
and
q,
a
staff
we'll
see
council
direction
on
changes
to
the
council
rules
to
bring
back
for
future
action.
Additionally,
staff
will
seek
direction
on
potential
bellevue
code
amendments
related
to
again
remote
participation
of
boards
and
commission
managers.
Members
so
joining
us
this
evening
are
our
shame:
charmaine
arredondo,
our
city
clerk,
as
well
as
kathy
garland,
our
city
attorney
with
that
I'll
go
ahead
and
turn
over
to
the
team.
Thank.
B
You
city
manager,
miyaki,
and
thank
you
mayor
and
council
members
for
having
us
here
this
evening.
So
given
the
hour,
I
will
get
right
to
it.
So,
as
city
manager
miyaki
stated
tonight,
we,
the
city
attorney
and
I
are
before
you
seeking
direction
on
an
update
to
the
council
rules
regarding
meeting
format,
order
of
business
and
then
also
what
direction,
if
any,
on
code
amendments
necessary
to
bring
back
related
to
board
and
commission
remote
participation.
B
So
during
tonight's
meeting
I
will
provide
a
council
with
a
quick
overview
to
set
some
context,
we'll
discuss
where
the
council
was
with
regard
to
meeting
format
and
order
of
business
pre-coded
and
then,
where
we
are
today
and
then
finally
turn
it
over
to
kathy
to
talk
about
the
remote
participation
of
boards
and
commission
members.
B
So
to
begin
with
a
quick
overview
of
impacts
that
kobit
19
had
on
our
public
meetings
and
actions
that
we
took
in
response.
B
B
So
in
order
to
facilitate
council
meetings
in
compliance
with
the
governor's
order,
staff
took
several
actions.
Staff
instituted
zoom
as
the
platform
for
all
public
meetings
subject
to
the
opma
and
the
functionality
of
zoom
exceeded
the
technology.
We
had
in
place
at
the
time
and
allowed
us
to
put
the
necessary
controls
in
place
to
assure
adherence
to
the
law
as
well
as
city
policy.
B
B
So
to
begin
with,
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
where
we
were
prior
to
april,
2020
so
prior
to
cover
19.
The
council
conducted
meetings
on
the
first
four
mondays
of
each
month,
with
the
exception
of
the
august
and
december
recess
periods.
Those
meetings
essentially
were
conducted
in
three
different
formats.
B
On
the
first
and
third
mondays
of
the
months,
the
council
would
conduct
two
separate
sessions,
one
being
a
study
session
from
six
to
eight
pm
in
room
1113
and
then
a
regular
session
in
council
chambers
from
8
to
10
p.m,
and
then,
on
the
second
and
fourth
mondays
of
the
month.
The
council
would
conduct
an
extended
study
session
from
6
to
10
p.m,
in
18113,
so
essentially
three
different
formats
to
the
agenda
prior
to
april
2020..
B
So,
since
april
of
2020,
the
council
has
been
conducting
virtual
meetings
via
the
zoom
platform
and
all
council
members
have
been
participating
remotely
and
the
public
has
also
had
the
opportunity
to
participate
remotely
as
well.
So
these
regular
meetings
during
this
time
have
been
a
combination
of
all
items
of
business
into
what
we
are
terming:
a
one
agenda
format,
and
essentially
this
is
one
agenda,
in
contrast
to
splitting
the
agendas
in
the
three
different
sessions
that
we
just
spoke
about,
study
sessions,
regular
sessions
and
extended
study
sessions.
B
So,
as
the
numbers
of
infections
and
hospitalizations
have
lowered
significantly
and
indoor
masking
requirements
have
been
removed.
The
council
is
now
planning
I'm
pleased
to
announce
to
return
to
in-person
meetings
beginning
on
april
18th.
B
So,
given
that
the
return
to
in-person
council
meetings
is
coming
up
soon
on
the
horizon,
staff
are
here
tonight
proposing
to
maintain
the
one
agenda
format
and
we
are
terming
at
a
regular
meeting
and
again.
This
is
a
meeting
that
would
be
conducted
on
the
first
four
meetings
or
first,
four
mondays
of
each
month
with
again
the
exception
of
the
august
and
december
recess
periods,
and
those
meetings
would
be
conducted
in
one
room
and
that
would
be
council
chambers.
B
B
Historically,
the
public
has
had
questions
about
what
time
and
in
which
room
to
comment
to
the
council,
and
the
answer
would
always
depend
and
vary
depending
on
which,
day
of
the
month,
it
was
which
monday
of
the
month,
it
was
so
moving
to
the
one
agenda
format
alleviates
any
concern
around
when
or
where
the
public
comment
is
received,
as
the
time
and
place
would
be
consistent
from
week
to
week.
B
One
additional
item
to
note
at
this
point
is
that
in
the
last
legislative
session
in
gross
substitute
house
bill,
1329
passed
both
the
house
and
the
senate
and
has
been
delivered
to
the
governor.
B
B
The
resolution
8928
lays
out
the
order
of
business
for
each
type
of
agenda
currently
and
if
the
council
so
chooses
to
amend
its
rules
and
move
forward
with
the
one
agenda
format,
the
council
will
need
to
also
amend
its
rules
regarding
order
of
business
steph
proposed
following
the
current
order
of
business
that
we've
been
utilizing
during
the
virtual
meetings
over
these
past
two
years
and
as
a
reminder,
there
is
a
provision
that
the
city
clerk
has
the
authority
to
amend
the
agenda
on
a
temporary
basis
to
address
things
like
unusual
meeting
circumstances
or
to
ensure
an
efficient
and
orderly
meeting,
not
proposing
any
changes
or
any
amendment
to
that
provision,
and
in
addition,
as
you're
aware,
the
council
also
has
the
authority
to
amend
the
agenda
on
the
day
of
the
meeting
and
reorder
agenda
items
if
desired.
B
A
Q
Thank
you
mayor.
Thank
you.
Charmaine
yeah,
I'm
very
supportive
of
moving
to
the
one
agenda
format
and
order.
I
think
it's
been
much
more
efficient.
Having
regular
meetings
every
week
allows
ordinances
to
get
passed
every
week
they
allow
bills
to
get
paid
every
week.
It
just
allows
a
lot
more
flexibility
and
gives
more
latitude
to
staff
to
not
be
stuck
with
only
two
half
meetings
a
month
in
which
to
do
the
business
that
happens
at
a
regular
council
meeting.
So
I
think
it's
been
really
efficient
during
kobit,
and
I
support
that.
Q
I
had
one
question
I
and
maybe
maybe
two
questions
but
one
question
in
a
comment.
The
proclamation
2028,
which
is
on
version
15,
is
the
active
version
of
the
governor's
proclamation
which
was
passed
in
january
of
2021
on
the
open
public
meetings
act
issues,
I'm
wondering
if
we
are
working
reaching
out
to
the
governor's
office
to
find
out
when
he
plans
to
lift
that
it.
It
seems
like
if
you're
going
to
people
could
certainly
if
it's
lifted
people
could
certainly
continue
to
do
hybrid
meetings.
Q
They
could
certainly
continue
to
do
virtual
meetings
because
I
think
state
law
has
been
changed
since
then
to
allow
the
virtual
meetings,
but
it
doesn't
allow
people
to
have
fully
in-person
meetings
without
having
the
hybrid
component
and,
as
we've
seen
or
I've
seen
in
other
cities
having
a
hybrid
component
when
most
of
the
staff
and
public
officials
are
in
person
is
really
really
hard,
and
even
though
even
cities
that
have
the
equipment
to
broadcast
their
meetings
they're
having
a
hard
time,
a
lot
of
them
are
having
to
buy
new
equipment
to
have
the
in
person
with
the
virtual
component.
Q
So
I'm
wondering
so.
The
question
is:
what
do
we
know
about
when
that
when
proclamation,
2028,
sub,
50
or
version
15
is
going
to
be
lifted,
and
are
we
advocating
for
that?
And
then
my
next
question
slash
comment?
Is
I
I
really
think
we
should
go
back
to
our
prior
code,
which
had
the
limitation
on
the
in
person.
I
think
it's
going
to
be
very
disruptive
if
we
are
all
back
in
person
and
we
have
multiple
members,
whether
the
council
or
the
board
and
commission
is
trying
to
come
in
virtually.
Q
I
think
it's
very
disruptive,
it's
not
good
for
decision
making
it's
very
difficult.
So
I'd
like
to
go
back
to
the
prior
code,
but-
and
I
know
that
there's
already
an
exception
for
medical
issues-
if
someone,
for
example,
breaks
their
back
and
they
need
to
be
virtual
for
a
extended
period
of
time.
That
can
happen.
I'd
like
to
add
another
exception
to
that
code.
Q
That
specifically
says
that
the
council
can
suspend
this
requirement
and
allow
virtual
expanded
virtual
meetings
or
virtual
attendance
by
passage
of
council
resolution,
and
if
we
add
that
section
or
that
additional
exception
to
the
code,
we
can,
if
there's
another
emergency,
where
we
need
to
suspend
altogether.
We
can
do
that
by
resolution
or
if
we
have,
for
example,
a
commissioner
who
say
we
have
someone
that
is
in
the
military
and
they
get
deployed,
but
they're
able
to
to
come
in
virtually.
We
could
pass
a
resolution
allowing
that
specific
exception.
Q
So
that's
what
I
would
like
to
do
with
that.
So
I
guess
the
question
for
the
staff
as
well
as
for
my
colleagues
as
one
first
question
for
staff
is
what's
happening
with
proclamation
2028.
Q
My
question
for
the
staff-
and
my
colleagues
is,
you
know:
can
we
go
back
to
the
prior
code
with
adding
this
extra
exception?
Is
the
council
willing
to
do
that
and
does
staff
think
that
that
is
workable
thanks.
B
Thank
you,
councilmember
robertson,
I'm
happy
to
address
in
part
and
then
turn
it
over
to
the
city
attorney
to
discuss
more
about
the
remote
participation
which
is
actually
going
to
happen.
Hopefully,
after
we
receive
some
direction
on
the
meeting
format
and
order
of
business,
but
with
regard
to
proclamation,
2028,
charlemagne.
A
Q
B
No
worries
so
with
regard
to
the
proclamation
on
a
hybrid,
the
requirement
for
hybrid
meetings,
so
currently,
as
it
sits,
that
proclamation
exists
until
the
state
of
emergency
no
longer
exists,
and
so
we
do
have
to
provide
that
hybrid
option.
At
this
point.
B
U
No,
I
think
that
you've
answered
that
that
I'm
not
I'm
not
aware
of
when
the
governor's
going
to
lift
the
emergency
declaration
and
I'm
not
aware
that
we're
lobbying,
but
perhaps
our
intergovernmental
affairs
staff
might
have
additional
information.
We
can
certainly
bring
back.
I
would
also
just
mention
one
other
thing,
and
maybe
maybe
I'll
leave
this
until
we
talk
about
remote
participation.
U
So
let
me
just
stop
there
and
because
I'm
going
to
step
in
here
after
you
guys
talk
about
the
order
and
the
one
meeting
versus
two
and
I'll
talk
about
remote
participation,
so
I'll
I'll
address
councilmember
robertson.
Some
of
your
other
questions
then.
A
Good
okay,
thank
you.
Councilmember
stokes,.
C
C
We
need
to
deal
with
those
and
I'm,
I
think
you
know
in
reflection,
it'll
engage
it
will
allow
us
to
have
more
engagement
than
we
have
have
had
on
a
better
basis,
and
it
makes
more
sense
to
do
this
and
I
think,
from
the
public
standpoint,
it'll
have
a
lot
of
good
benefits,
so
I'm
I'm
ready
to
go
forward
with
it.
I'm
very
interested
to
see
what
these
other
nuances
are,
which
we
probably
should
have
talked
about
before.
C
We
actually
started
talking
about
taking
action,
but
anyhow,
I
I'm
I'm
much
in
favor
of
moving
this
forward.
D
Yes,
I
agree
with
the
format
and-
and
I
guess
my
question
I'll-
have
to
figure
out
whether
this
is
it's
for
this
section
or
the
subsequent
one
on
the
oral
communication.
The
way
it's
worded.
Does
that
mean
that
we're
going
back
to
only
in
person
as
well
or
will
the
public
be
able
to
also
join
remotely,
whether
it's
video
or
phone,
or
is
that
in
the
second
section.
B
No
thank
you,
council
members
on,
so
that
is
with
regard
to
meeting
format,
so
we
are
planning
on
producing
a
hybrid
meeting
and
it
currently
is
a
requirement
to
produce
that
hybrid
for
the
public
to
be
able
to
participate
remotely
participate.
The
definition
of
participation
is
simply
listening,
but
we
are
taking
it
a
step
further
and
allowing
the
public
to
comment
via
oral
communications
or
on
a
public
hearing
night
to
communicate
to
the
council
via
a
remote
option.
D
Okay,
I'm
glad
for
that,
and
then
my
my
second
one,
I
believe,
also
goes
to
this
particular
item,
and
that
is
that
you
know
the
way
it's
worded.
We
meet
for
the
four
mondays
of
the
month
and
I'm
just
wondering
we've
been
talking
about
how
much
work
we
have
in
front
of
us
whether
we
would
consider
that
it's
all
the
mondays
of
the
month
and
that
even
the
fifth
monday
would
be
a
meeting
monday,
instead
of
specifically
dropping
that
off
from
the
very
beginning.
D
S
R
Thank
you,
madam
here
yeah
my
hand
has
been
raised
for
a
while.
I
was
wondering
if
you're
gonna
call
me
anyway.
Thank
you
yeah,
as
it
turned
out,
I'm
the
probably
last
one
to
speak,
I'm
a
little
bit
concerned
about
changing
something
that
we've
been
doing
for
almost
forever.
R
As
far
as
as
long
as
I've
been
on
the
console
and
the
specific
thing
is,
regarding
the
you
know,
the
extended
in
a
study
session
and
study
session
in
general,
but
particularly
the
extended
ones
I
think
is
provided
for
a
particular
reason
is
for
the
council
members
that
have
time
to
really
have
a
real
good
conversation,
discussion
and
dialogue
and
because
it
reflects
the
public's
conversation
and
dialogue
and
we
bring
the
public
perspective
to
the
table,
and
we
we
know
that
people
have
said.
R
Good
policies
are
a
result
of
dialogue,
communication
and
the
conversation
and
the
conversation
we
do
dialogue
we
have
is
between
ourselves.
You
know,
council
members
and
the
public
which
we
represent
and
oftentimes.
When
we
have
a
issue
printer
table
agenda,
you
know
we
it
deserves
deserves
conversation,
it's
something
that
we
haven't
already
made
up
our
mind.
We've
already
did
and
that's
different
right,
but
even
then
we
still
have
opportunity
to
dialogue
to
talk
about.
We
may
miss
something
we
may
gain
something
we
may
learn
something.
R
So
I
think
it's
important
that
we
provide
that,
and
I
think
the
reason
why
we
have
said
that
as
a
way
of
doing
business
has
its
basis
to
to
do
that.
So
you
know
when
we
changed
our
format
to
the
one
we
have
now
because
of
the
cover
19.
We
we're
responding
to
an
emergency
which
we
have
to
so
I
think
we
have
to
make
it
work.
You
know
for
better
or
for
worse,
but
it
worked
well,
fine,
we're
good.
I'm
very,
very.
R
I
want
to
commend
the
mayor
having
make
it
work
very
well
for
us,
and
so
I
want
to
make
that
point.
However,
you
know
when
we
go
back
to
a
permanent
way
of
doing
business
for
the
next
20
years
or
more.
R
I
want
to
be
sure
that
we
look
at
all
the
alternatives
and
options
and
reasons
why
we
we
do
this,
because
I
do
not
want
to
make
to
lose
the
ability
to
have
an
engagement,
dialogue
and
conversation,
and
you
know
which
reflect
the
public's
opinion
and
then
the
opportunity
for
us
to
learn
about.
You
know
the
pros
and
cons
you
know
and
it
because
I
believe
this
is
important.
R
That's
the
basis
of
our
of
of
public
policy
making,
and
so,
as
we
know,
you
know,
when
we
talk
together,
we
like
learn
something
and
we
look.
One
thing
leads
to
another
and
give
us
a
much
more
enlightened
and
better
understanding
of
what
the
situations
are
and
then
we
can
make
the
decisions.
So
I
think
it
needs
to
have
the
time
the
opportunity
to
make
that
happen.
R
So
I
would
like
to
ask
you
know
whether
the
staff
can
maybe
look
into
some
historical
perspective
or
opportunities
where
we
can
still
maintain
the
ability
to
make
good
policies
from
what
I
just
said
and
then
maybe
come
up
with
some
options.
Maybe
now
we
have
one
extended
study
session
and
two,
you
know
abbreviated
together
with
regular.
You
know
possession,
so
maybe
we
can
still
maintain
our
ability
to
talk
on
very
important
subjects
and
with
this
thorough
ability
to
make
good
policies.
R
A
Thank
you.
So
we've
heard
council
member
lee's
opinion
and
we
everybody
has
a
their
own,
unique
opinion
here
tonight,
we'll
be
taking
a
vote
on
this
before
we
move
on
to
that
section.
Just
for
clarity,
but
I
see
deputy
mayor
has
his
hand
up
I'm
going
to
speak.
A
Council,
member
lee
so
deputy
mayor
I'll,
let
you
speak
and
then
I
will
go
again.
I
mean
I
will
go
okay.
G
Hey
thank
you
mayor.
Actually,
charming
can
you
address
conrad
sorry,
councilmember
lee's
concern,
sir.
My
understanding
is
that
with
the
one
agenda
and
there's
a
lot
of
one,
the
one
agenda,
four
matters.
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
advantageous
aspects
to
it
that
really
it's
the
same
work
for
the
most
part,
except
it's
we're
doing
it
in
the
chambers
and
it
provides
more
flexibility
because
we
can
add
additional
items,
consent
calendar
et
cetera,
et
cetera.
G
I
love
the
fact
that,
for
for
the
community
and
for
the
public,
it's
consistent
in
terms
of
our
our
our
protocols
and
and
when
we're
doing
oral
communications
etc.
So,
hopefully
I
would.
I
would
hope
that
there'd
be
even
more
feedback
and
and
more
residents
participating
in
oral
communications,
but
other
than
that.
The
shifting
of
the
actual
room
from
what
ie
113
to
to
chambers
we're
still
conducting
study
sessions
and
extended
study
sessions,
correct.
B
Yes
correct:
would
you
like
me
to
to
expand
on
that,
or
did
you
have
another
question
you
want
well.
G
Sure
I
mean,
I
think,
constantly
really
brings
up
a
good
point.
I
don't
want
to
see
any
degradation
in
terms
of
of
engagement,
robust
conversation,
etc.
That
and-
and
I
don't
necessarily
see
that,
but
I
think
it
deserves
a
you
know,
an
answer
for
sure.
B
Absolutely
thank
you
for
asking
and
council
member
lee.
I
certainly
want
to
address
that,
but
so
I
would
say
that
the
extended
study
sessions-
those
are
those
were
previously
specifically
for
study
session
items
and
they
didn't
contain
any
of
the
regular
session
items
of
business.
We
would
not
add
those
to
extended
studies.
So
what
we're
proposing
in
this
one
meeting
format,
one
agenda
format
is
all
items
of
business.
Like
you
said,
study
sessions
are
still
a
very
large
component
of
the
one
agenda
format.
B
For
instance,
just
recently
we
conducted
a
one
study
session
meeting
in
the
regular
meeting
format,
and
that
was
the
budget
workshop.
So
we
spent
the
entire
meeting.
In
fact,
no
consent
calendar
and
no
other
items
of
business
focused
on
one
individual
topic,
and
so
that
is
always
still
a
possibility
in
how
we
present
items
to
the
council.
B
So
it's
just
allowing
us
more
flexibility
to
do
that
on
any
monday,
rather
than
just
having
extended
studies
where
we
can't
really
add
items
of
final
action
on
an
extended
study
night.
But
in
one
agenda
format
we
can
certainly
add
a
one
topic
study
session
that
takes
the
entire
four
hours
or,
however
long
that
study
session
takes.
So
that
is
that's
truly
just
how
we
present
that
agenda
on
any
given
monday.
So
we
could.
We
could
certainly
adjust
along
the
way
if
there
are
large
topics
that
require
more
time.
G
Yeah-
and
I
think
it
might
not
be
a
bad
idea
if
we
look
back
a
year
from
now,
if
we
move
forward
with
this,
if
this
new
format
is
working
for
us,
I
I
personally,
I
think
it
will
based
on
your
answer
there
charmaine,
but
maybe
a
quick
check
in
with
the
council
a
year
from
now
or
are
at
our
retreat
a
year
from
now
to
make
sure
that
it
is
working
for
us,
but
I'm
in
favor,
of
moving
this
forward.
So
thank
you.
A
I
am
very
much
informed
in
favor
of
the
one
agenda
format.
I
think
it's
very
clear
to
the
public
what
to
expect
when
they
can
expect
to
weigh
in
on
their
comments
and
in
turn,
in
with
regard
to
the
fifth
monday,
we
always
have
the
option
of
doing
it
fifth
monday,
so
I
don't
mind
not
making
it
that
we
always
will
do
it.
It
seems
like
it's
easier
to
add
a
fifth
monday
than
it
is
to
take
one
off
if
we
don't
need
it.
A
So
I'm
I'm
in
support
of
adopting
the
one
agenda
format
I
see
councilmember
stokes.
Do
you
have
your
hand
up
to
speak
again.
A
Q
C
Yeah,
I
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
you
know
we
discussed
this
and
I
I
appreciate
councilmember
lee's
raising
the
question,
because
it
is
very
important
to
keep
that
in
mind
in
terms
of
the
concept
of
having
these
discussions
and
you
made
it
clear
and
charming
too
that
that
will
not
be
lost,
and
so
I
think
it
was
a
good
discussion,
a
good
add-on
to
it,
and
that's
all
I
wanted
to
to
say
thank
you.
D
I'm
okay
with
adding
a
fifth
monday
if
needed.
I
just
thought
it
was
something
to
bring
up
things.
A
Okay,
councilmember
burksdale
anything
more,
no
counselor
relief.
R
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
appreciate
what
council
member
stokes
and
particularly
wwe,
you
know,
being
sympathetic
and
understand.
You
know
my
position
and
thanks.
R
I
appreciate
the
I
I
feel
you
know
what
I
express
the
concern
is
a
concern
and
I
appreciate
what
david
mayer
suggested
and
I
think
something
is
up
to
us
that,
a
year
from
now
or
whenever
and
if
this
situation
rises,
I
hope
that
we
will
pay
attention
to
see
what
we
can
do
to
you
know
rectify
if,
if
it
does
warranted
this
situation,
so
I
will
support
the
motion
at
this
time
and
thank
you
every
day,
mayor.
A
So
maybe
with
the
motion
that
we
put
in
a
one-year
look
back
okay,
do
you
want
to
make
a
motion
on
just
this
part
of
it.
G
L
U
Thank
you
charmaine
good
evening
council,
so
I
am
going
to
talk
about
remote
participation,
just
to
be
clear,
because
we've
been
talking
about
participation
by
the
public
and
others.
What
I'm
talking
about
tonight
is
not
participation
by
the
public.
It
is
participation
by
the
board
and
commission
members
of
the
advisory
boards
that
have
been
established
by
the
council,
specifically
environmental
services,
human
services,
transportation,
arts
and
planning
commissions,
as
well
as
the
parks
and
community
services
board,
so
just
to
provide
the
context
here
in
the
council's
own
resolution.
Your
own
rules
that
govern
yourselves.
U
So
those
provisions,
as
charmaine
mentioned
you
temporarily,
suspended
during
coven,
so
that
you
could
continue
to
do
the
city's
business
and
all
of
you
participate
remotely
when
you
go
back
to
participating
in
person
anticipated
in
april.
Those
restrictions
will
just
revive
themselves
and
there
is
no
more
action
that
you
need
to
take.
So
we
staff
has
not
made
a
recommendation
for
you
to
do
anything
different
with
your
own
resolution.
We're
assuming
you
want
those
same
restrictions
to
apply
again
once
you
start
meeting
in
person.
U
These
same
restrictions
that
are
in
your
resolution
were
also
in
the
code
and
apply
to
all
of
those
boards
and
commissions
that
I
just
mentioned,
and
then
during
covid
the
council
actually
adopted
an
amendment
to
the
code
to
get
rid
of
those
restrictions
so
that
the
boards
and
commissions
could
also
be
meeting
fully
remotely
during
covid.
Unlike
your
resolution,
however,
in
order
to
you
have
to
amend
a
code
with
another
code
so
to
to
put
those
back
in.
U
If
you
want
those
restrictions
back
in
again,
the
council
will
need
to
adopt
another
code
change.
So
that's
what
we're
seeking
direction
on
tonight
and
chairman.
If
you
want
to
go
to
the
next
slide,
there
are
several
options.
One
is
to
simply
reinstate
the
previous
code
language
that
we'll
put
in
place
for
the
boards
and
commissions
the
exact
same
restrictions
that
are
in
place
for
the
council.
You
could
choose
to
do
something
different
if
you
wanted
to
you
could
make
it
you've
heard
council
member
robertson
already
propose.
U
A
So
I'm
curiou
the
two
things
that
I
have
heard
that
really
limits
people's
ability
to
participate
on
boards
and
commissions
is
one
physical
ability.
Some
people
really
have
trouble,
walking
all
the
way
from
the
car
to
the
to
the
to
the
meeting
room,
and
I
know
some
people
have
had
to
quit
as
their
abilities
have
deteriorated,
their
physical
abilities
so
and
then
child
care,
having
you
know
not
being
able
to
leave
your
children.
A
So
if
we
adopted
three,
would
that
give
a
board
commission
the
opportunity
to
allow
a
hybrid
participation
so,
like
some
members
could
be
in
person,
and
somebody
else
could
be
remote
like
more
than
just
two
times
a
year
kind
of
thing.
U
So
you
you
could
choose.
Let
me
back
up.
There
is
a
bill
as
as
charmaine
mentioned
in
gross
substitute
house
bill,
1329
that
the
governor
has
until
april
2nd,
if
I
did
the
math
correctly,
to
decide
to
either
approve
it
or
to
potentially
veto
it
and
hold
her
in
part,
and
if
the
governor
does
nothing
by
by
april,
2nd
it
moves
forward.
U
There's
some
appears
to
be
some
limitations
in
there
for
the
first
time
on
on
council
and
boarding
commissions
being
able
to
meet
completely
remotely
so
we're
still
evaluating,
but
it
appears
that
the
count
that
the
legislature
intended,
you
cannot
do
what
you
could
do
before
covid,
which
was
all
of
you,
could
meet
completely
remotely
even
before
covet.
U
I
think
that
you
can
have
up
to
not
a
quorum
meet
remotely,
so
up
to
three
could
mean
remotely
if
you
chose
to
do
that
rather
than
just
two
which
is
what's
in
there.
What
was
in
there
before
and
in
terms
of
you
know
whether
it
could
rotate
or
be
the
you
know
the
same
people.
I
don't
know
that
there's
any
legal
limitations
on
that.
So
that
is
something
if
you
wanted
to
have
it
be.
If
you
wanted
to
say
something
specific
about
that,
you
could
do
that
in
the
code.
U
A
U
A
G
Thank
you,
mayor
yeah.
I
I
like
the
idea
of
providing
some
more
flexibilities
to
the
commissions
and
boards.
As
the
mayor
mentioned,
you
know
there
are
some
restrictions
to
participation,
that
time,
be
it
child
care
or
or
or
work
or
or
what
have
you
so
I
do
like
providing
a
little
bit
more
flexibility
there.
I
think,
from
a
council
perspective,
I
would
be
fine
with
just
reinstituting
the
remote
participation
rules
we
had
previously.
G
R
R
So,
even
though
you
know
I
I
think
it
applies
to
the
board
and
commission
as
well.
There
are
many
things
that
you
make
it
difficult
for
them,
but
you
know,
I
think
we
counsel
members
we
commit
ourselves,
we
dedicate
ourselves.
I
don't
know
to
what
extent
we
can
expect
the
voting
commission.
It
may
be
unfair,
you
know,
but
in
terms
of
my
expectations
they
if
they
know
what
the
requirement,
what
expectation
is
up
front,
I
think
that
will
not
be
constituted.
R
R
So
there
need
to
be
maybe
some
some
give
and
take
somewhere.
I
don't
know
how
that
can
happen.
It's
up
to
the
to
the
board
and
commission
itself.
Maybe
the
members
there
or
maybe
maybe
it's
too
much
to
ask
them.
You
know
so
so
I'm
a
kind
of
mix.
I
really
don't
you
know
I.
I
know
what
my
feeling
is,
but
how
would
it
work
for
the
individual
or
commission?
R
I
think
we
need
to
encourage
them,
but
at
the
same
time
we
need
to
have
expectations
and
I
hope
that
they
will
meet
our
expectations
if
they
so
choose.
So
I'm
gonna
stay
neutral
for
for
the
time
being
and
see
see
what
other
people
feel
about
it.
S
You
mayor
so
so,
I
think
keeping
the
option
open
to
hybrid.
You
know,
I
guess
I'm
also
curious
from
staff
how
we
got
to
the
rules
that
we
had
before
my
my
issue
with
the
rules
is
that
you
know
we're
all
adults
on
on
the
council
on
boards
and
commissions.
S
I
think
we
can
regulate
advantage
on
all
time
and
commitments
and
I
think
if
we
leave
that
flexibility,
what
matters
more,
I
think,
is
that
that
people
are
participating
and
instead
of
stipulating
how
they
should
participate
or
where
they
should,
where
they
are
when
they
participate.
I
think
what
we
care
most
about
is
that
they're,
that
they're
present
and
that
they
are
contributing
their
ideas
to
the
conversation,
and
I
think
that
we've
seen
throughout
the
pandemic
that
that's
possible
in
a
remote
setting
from
a
hybrid
setting.
If
it's
about
technology
limitations,
those
can
be
mitigated.
S
So
I
I
don't
think,
there's
a
need
to
go
beyond
hybrid
and
I
think
it
provides
a
more
equitable
outcome
so
that,
if
someone
can't
make
it
for
the
reason
that
you
mentioned
mayor
or
because
of
work,
we
do
have
full-time
jobs.
I
do
think
it
makes
it
more
equitable,
not
just
for
people
that
are
currently
on
boards
and
commissions
and
council,
but
also
people
who
maybe
aren't
even
applying,
whose
voices
we're
not
hearing,
because
they
aren't
able
to
show
up
in
person.
A
So
can
I
clarify:
are
you
suggesting
that
you
would
go
with
option
two,
which
would
you
would
you
would
call
it
a
hybrid
or
does
option
three
provide
up
opportunity
for
a
hybrid?
I.
S
Think
I
think,
option
three:
if
it's
as
flexible
or
more
than
what
council
is
doing
and
for
council,
I
would
say
I
would.
A
Like
that,
okay,
so
I'll
tell
you
at
the
end
of
this,
we'll
ask
staff
to
tell
us
how
we
get
to
what
you're,
describing,
if
that's
the
consensus.
Okay,
council
members
on
followed
by
council
member
stokes.
D
Yeah,
so
I
I
appreciate
this
discussion
because
I
think
this
is
the
opportunity,
as
we
come
out
of
cobit
back
in
person,
to
make
sure
that
we're
as
clear
as
possible
about
our
values
so
from
the
standpoint
of
creating
a
space
for
inclusion,
so
that
many
people
who
may
not
currently
be
applying
for
boards
and
commissions
because
of
having
to
go
through
rush
hour
traffic
or
deal
with
daycare
just
to
get
there
at
a
certain
time
or
whether
it's
mobility
challenges.
D
So
I'm
I
also
support
as
much
flexibility
as
possible,
while
still
be
able
to
conduct
business
of
the
boarding
commissions.
So
I
do
think
it's
it's,
maybe
a
hybrid
of
the
of
the
two
and
three.
So
if
it's
three
I
would
say
we
would
want
to
establish
some
type
of
of
a
culture
or
expectation
that
we
are
driving
for
flexibility
and
inclusion
versus
just
a
leave
it
to
every
border
commission
to
decide
limits
without
establishing
what
are
the
values
we
want
them
to
have
as
they
think
about
what
are
the
right
limits.
C
Oh,
if
I'm
reading
this
correctly,
it's
it's
talking
about
council
options
for
boards
commissions,
so
I
don't
like.
Is
this
correct,
we're
not
talking
about
any
changes
to
the
council
at
this
point,
we're
just
trying
to
awards
and
commissions
right.
C
Yeah,
okay,
just
want
to
make
clear
on
that
the,
and
I
think
that
it
is
different
I
would
actually
too
is-
is,
I
think,
important.
I
would
like
to
have
discussion
and
and
have
the
boards
and
commissions
to
take
a
look
at
this
and
let's
talk
about
having
some
limits
and
things,
and
it
should
be
consistent.
C
I
think,
from
boards
to
all
the
boards
and
commissions
and
and
equity
equitable
peace
is
the
the
heart
of
it,
and
I
think
that
I
agree
that
my
fellow
council
members
comments
on
this,
that
this
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
talk
to
the
boards
and
commissions
and
have
them
participate
in
this
and
come
up
with
something
that
does
encourage
more
people
and
gives
more
people
the
opportunity
to
have
meetings
and
also
it
would
help.
C
I
know
a
couple
of
times
on
commissions
or
boards
that
I've
been
liaison
to.
We
have
troubles
getting
a
a
you
know
a
quorum,
and
it's
because
somebody
had
somebody
was
sick,
or
I
mean
one
of
their.
You
know
different
things
for
it,
so
this
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
open
things
up
a
little
bit
and
be
a
little
more
rational
in
terms
of
and
hopefully
get
more
people
to
participate.
So
that's
that's
what
I
would
like
to
see.
We
don't
need
to
make
the
decision
right
now.
Q
Thank
you.
So
if
we're
going
back
in
person,
we're
going
back
in
person
and
if
you
it's
been
a
while
since
we've
had
in-person
meetings,
excuse
me
with
someone
remotely
on
the
phone,
but
when
you
have
one
person
on
the
phone,
let
alone
two
or
three
or
four,
it
is
really
difficult
to
manage.
The
meeting
now
imagine
that
the
chair
is
on
the
phone.
I
mean
a
hybrid
meeting.
We
don't
remember
what
it's
like,
because
we
have
the
zoom
where
we're
all
on
zoom
and
it's
really
easy,
but
a
hybrid
meeting.
Q
When
you
have
two
or
you
know
even
one
person
on
the
phone,
they
don't
know
when
to
talk.
They
don't
know
when
to
be
called
on.
They
interrupt.
They
may
not
get
called
on.
It
is
really
confusing
and
if
we're
having
public
officials,
whether
they
be
appointed
or
elected,
meeting,
meeting
together,
makes
each
official
accountable
to
their
colleagues
and
makes
them
more
accountable
to
the
public.
Q
If
we,
I
can
imagine
a
situation
where
we
have
someone
who's
on
the
phone
monthly,
because
they're
busy
doing
whatever
they're
doing,
and
that
is
not
as
effective
of
a
meeting
as
when
you're
all
sitting
down
together
working
out
a
solution.
Remember
the
boards
and
commissions
have
a
lot
more.
They
get
into
the
deep
dives
and
greater
details
of
these
policy
recommendations
that
they
make
to
us.
I
really
don't
think
that
allowing
an
open-ended
they
get
to
pick
and
decide
what
to
do,
including
having
you
know,
three
members
on
the
phone.
Q
Every
meeting
is
really
going
to
be
that
effective
as
we've
talked
about.
We
need
our
boards
and
commissions
to
deliver
for
us,
because
we
have
more
and
more
work
to
do
and
I
think
allowing
you
know.
Whatever
comes,
what
will
approach
is
not
necessarily
going
to
allow
them
to
work
collectively,
be
accountable,
be
accountable
to
staff,
see
everything
you
know
in
person
because
remember
our
boards
and
commission
meetings
are
not
broadcast.
Q
So,
if
someone's
on
the
phone,
they
are
not
looking
at
their
colleagues,
they
are
only
hearing
them
they're,
not
looking
at
the
powerpoint,
and
so
it's
not
as
effective.
I
really
do
think
that
we
need
to
go
back
to
the
previous
code
language,
but
with
the
change
that
for
inclusionary
purposes.
If
someone
has
a
medical
issue,
they
can
be
allowed
to
participate
remotely
on
a
permanent
or
specific
duration
basis,
and
putting
a
provision
in
that
council
can
waive
the
the
policy
either
for
individuals
or
for
boards
and
commissions
as
a
whole.
Q
You
know
when
there's
an
emergency
or
for
good
or
for
otherwise
good
cause
shown.
I
think
if
we
do
that,
we
give
the
flexibility
to
the
council
to
make
sure
we're
inclusive,
but
we
have
standards
where
we're
going
to
be
able
to
make
sure
that
the
people's
business
gets
done
and
everyone's
accountable
to
each
other
and
to
the
public.
I
I
really
strongly
support
number
kind
of
merging
one
and
two
putting
the
same
restrictions,
but
with
those
additional
exceptions
for
inclusivity
for
people
that
might
have
physical
issues.
Q
We've
done
that
for
council
members
in
the
past.
Given
long
excuse
allowed
them
to
participate
via
phone
when
they
had
a
medical
problem,
it
can
certainly
be
done
for
the
boards
and
commissions,
but
we
need
to
have
some
floor
of
standards
because
otherwise
we
may
not
be
able
to
get
the
people's
business
done
in
a
way.
That's
really
effective
and
accountable.
Q
A
You
thank
you,
so
I'll
go
back
around
so
you
know
I
think
technology
has
improved
such
that
it
won't
be
like
the
phoning
meetings
that
we've
had.
I
hope
that's
the
case,
because
those
you're
right
are
really
hard
to
manage,
but
I
do
want
to
make
it
very
easy
for
somebody
who
has
a
physical
limitation
or
who
has
a
child
care
issue
to
continue
or
to
even
apply
and
be
a
part
of
a
board
or
commission.
A
That
would
allow
a
border
commission
to
allow
certain
people
the
opportunity
to
participate
remotely
as
long
as
it
stays
within
the
bounds
of
opma
and
other
laws,
and
it's
not
more
than
three
individuals
I
am
for
so
I
don't
know
if
that's
a
hybrid
of
one,
two
and
three
or
or
what
how
you
would
write
that.
But
that's
what
I
would
be
supportive
of
deputy
mayor.
G
Yeah-
and
I
really
appreciate
councilman
robertson's
comments
there,
I
I
I
agree
that
optimally.
Everyone
would
be
in
the
same
room,
but
I
think
zoom
has
worked
quite
well.
Virtuals
work
quite
well,
and
I
and
like
you,
may
I
hate
to
lose
out
on
any
great
commissioners
or
board
members
because
of
either
a
mobility
issue,
a
daycare
issue
or
whatever
the
issue
might
be
so
so
yeah.
I
guess
I'm
kind
of
being
between
one
and
two
as
well.
G
You
know,
I
think
it
needs
to
be
somewhat
consistent,
not
somewhere.
It
needs
to
be
consistent
across
all
commissions
across
all
boards.
G
I
think
that's
very
important,
but
I'd
like
to
see
just
a
little
bit
of
flexibility,
I'm
not
exactly
sure
or
additional
flexibility,
I'm
not
exactly
sure
what
that
looks
like,
but
and
that's
not
great
direction
back
to
staff,
but
you
know
a
little
bit
of
more
flexibility
for
those
folks
that
have
a
difficult
time
getting
down
to
city
hall
twice
a
month
or
three
time,
whatever
whatever
it
might
be,
depending
on
the
commission
or
board
they're
on,
but
as
but
as
well
as
not
just
a
free-for-all.
G
I
I
think
you
know
to
just
go
silent
and
not
to
amend
the
city
code.
I
think,
would
be
the
the
wrong
approach
again.
For
that
consistency,
I
think
it's
real,
that's
really
important
and
it's
the
same
across
all
the
different
commissions
and
boards.
So,
however,
we
can
have
just
a
little
bit
of
that
flexibility,
but
at
the
same
time
not
letting
people
abuse
it
and
still
have
effective
meetings
to
do
the
people's
business.
I
think
that
would
be
where
I,
where
I
would
land.
Thank
you.
I.
A
Asked
a
clarifying
question:
if
we
allowed
it
and
let
a
board
and
commission
vote
on
whether
or
not
you
know
the
request
was
met,
does
that
make
any
sense
or
or
is
that
too
judgmental
allowing
a
boarding
commission
to
make
that
judgment.
A
U
U
So
the
way
it's
structured
now,
if
it
was
no
more
than
now
it's
no
more
than
two,
but
you
could
add
no
more
than
three.
They
still
have
to
seek
approval
before
the
meeting,
which
is
probably
still
going
to
be
necessary
in
some
manner,
because
otherwise
you
may
end
up
with
a
quorum
that
all
at
the
same
time
decide
they're
going
to
participate
remotely,
and
you
didn't
know
it,
and
now
you
have
a
remote
meeting.
So
there'll
still
need
to
be
some
and
there's
some
concepts
here
we
can.
U
A
With
the
deputy
mayor,
if
I
may
even
tell
me
if
I'm
wrong,
I
think
what
you're
saying
is
you
don't
want
to
make
it
the
standard
that
people
can
just
opt
to
be
remote
all
the
time
right,
okay,
councilmember
lee,
oh,
go
ahead,
deputy
mayor
no.
G
No,
I
was
just
gonna
further
clarify
on
that
point.
If
someone
is
recently
appointed
to
to
commission
and
he
or
she
knows
that
they
have
a
daycare
issue
during
a
second
meeting
each
each
month,
then
we
make
that
allowance
for
it
and
that
we
make
for
the
allowance
for
it
up
front
and
then
everybody's
aware.
On
that
day,
they
would
be
participating
remotely
right.
A
scenario
like
that.
Thank
you.
R
R
I
think
you
know,
and
also
I
understand
what
the
mayor
said-
that
we
need
to
have
good
representation.
We
don't
want
to
discourage
people,
but
we
have
to
work
with
realities.
Reality
is
when
we
have
seven
persons
to
choose
from
and
we
have
made
policy
decisions,
no
different
than
anything
else.
That's
our
value.
We
wanted
to
be
representative,
we
want
to
be
diverse,
but
we
do
you
know.
I
mean
we
watch
our
traffic,
demographics
and
all
that
stuff,
and
but
we
cannot
include
everybody
okay,
so
it
is
our
desire.
R
When
we
choose
select
individuals,
they
need
to
represent
as
much
as
they
can
okay
and
we're
working
toward
that.
It's
I
don't
know
when
we
get
there,
but
it's
never
perfect,
but
in
the
meantime
we
have
to
have
those
accountability,
people
who
are
dedicated
where
who
can
represent
all
those.
You
know
things
that
we
want
to
the
quality.
We
expect
the
value,
we
want,
what
you
keep,
but
we
need
to
make
sure
that
they
can
participate
and
have
the
accountability.
Have
the
consistency
do
not
you
know
even
even
the
virtual?
R
It's
not
quite
the
perfect.
You
know
we
make
it
work.
You
know
because,
as
you
know,
when
people
pay
attention
we're
not
paying
attention,
we
don't
know
that
and
it
makes
it
challenging
for
the
members
themselves
it's
being
articulated,
but
I
agree
wholeheartedly
and
if
somebody
who's
not
doing
something
it,
whether
it
is
in
fact
the
case
or
not,
it
affects
all
the
rest
of
the
the
members
and
that
becomes
a
very
challenging
situation
that
causes
you
know
the
staff
and
individual
members,
and
you
know
it's
challenging.
How
do
you
manage
that?
R
I
think
that
may
have
the
experience
you
probably
do
you
know
how
do
you
control
a
bunch
of
you
know
loose
cats,
so
you
need
to
have
those
standards.
You
need
to
have
expectations.
That's
what
I
said
first,
you
know
you
need
to
have
expectations
so
that
people
can
work
together,
orderly.
R
You
know
efficiently
and
we
do
the
business
of
the
public.
That's
number
one
for
most,
you
know
and
the
others
have
to
be
included.
So
I
I
agree
with
rob
customer
robertson,
I'm
not
sure
how
that
can
be
included,
maybe
one
and
two
combined
or
something
that
in
fact-
and
I
think
because
remember
stokes
makes
sense.
Let's
get
the
ball
and
the
boat
here.
People
have
experience
with
the
ball.
You
know
us
the
liaisons
who
have
experienced
it.
We
can
talk
more
about
this
and
how
we
can
come
up
with
the
best
possible.
A
R
S
Thank
you
man,
so
I
I
still
think
we're
quite
accountable
to
the
community.
I
mean
they.
The
community
can
listen
and
we're
accountable.
In
that
sense
they
can
they
can,
even
if
they
can't
see
us
they
can
follow
what
we're
talking
about.
I
think
we're
completing
two
things:
we're
completing
remote
participation
and
attendance,
and
I
think
if
the
standard
that
we
want
to
set
is
at
a
certain
number
of
meetings-
or
you
know
you
have
to
make
a
certain
percentage-
a
number
of
the
meetings.
S
I
think
that's
one
thing-
I
still
agree
with
that,
but
I
think
we
could
be
flexible
in
terms
of
how
people
participate.
We
don't
know
what
people
are
going
through
in
their
lives
and,
yes,
there's
a
commitment
that
each
of
us
can
board.
Commissioners
have
made,
or
members
and
commissioners
are
made-
and
I
think
that's
reflected
in
attendance
as
long
as
they're
there
sharing
their
opinions.
S
Sharing
that
perspective,
contributing
to
the
discussion,
I
think
that's
more
important
than
whether
they're
physically
there
and
I
think
as
an
example
of
where
we
can
look
if
we're
not
making
the
decision
tonight.
There
are
some
cities
right
now
that
are
meeting
heidricks.
I
think
we
can
learn
from
them,
such
as
redmond.
D
Yes,
thank
you.
I
I
really
appreciate
all
the
conversation
we're
having
you
know
for
me,
as
I
listen,
I
think,
about
focusing
on
outcomes
and
not
necessarily
butts
in
seats,
and
so
how
do
we?
What
are
the
values
that
we're
looking
for
effective
meetings,
having
clear
expectations
for
what
the
what
level
of
participation
we're
expecting
from
our
boards
and
commissions
and
then
establishing
meeting
protocols
so
that
there's
notification
and
information?
D
D
We
had
several
people
in
a
room
and
there
were
several
large
tv
screens
where
it
was
a
very,
very
effective
meeting
where
people
that
were
on
the
screens
were
engaging
just
as
much
as
the
people
in
the
room
and,
if
part
of
that
is
providing
the
meeting
protocol,
support
and
training
for
those
that
are
the
chairs
to
be
able
to
facilitate
well
for
the
boards
and
commissions.
For
how
we
make
sure
that
we
have
that
participation.
D
I
have.
I
have
absolute
belief
that
we
can
figure
this
out
and
create
the
space
to
have
the
kind
of
inclusion
that
a
hybrid
allows
with
some
restrictions.
So
if
we
want
to
set
up
the
that
there's
some
maximum
number
of
of
hybrids
that
people
want
to
participate
in.
But
I
would
just
end
with
this-
I
think
the
other
part
of
it
is
that
sometimes
we
show
up
at
meetings,
because
you
know
there's
only
so
many
we're
allowed
to
miss.
D
A
Okay,
thank
you.
We
have
councilmember
stokes
and
then
councilman
robertson,
so.
D
B
Sure,
thanks
council
members
on
for
asking
that
question
be
remiss
if
I
did
not
say
for
months.
Staff
have
been
working
tirelessly
on
the
technology
implementation
to
provide
hybrid
meetings.
So
we
are
in
a
position
to
provide
hybrid
meetings
for
council
meetings
and
for
boards
and
commission
meetings.
C
This
is
the
values
question
here
and
I'm
I'm
just
just
in
the
last
minute
or
two
I
was
almost
kind
of
I
wasn't
laughing,
but
I
was
thinking
we're
all
sitting
here
and
we've
been
doing
it
for
two
years,
we're
all
remote,
we're
all
and
and
we're
having
conversations
and
we're
having
we're
making
decisions,
and
even
one
of
us
is
not
visible
and
yet
is
making
is
participating
and
we're
saying
well,
we
can't,
but
these
other
people
can't
do
this
and
that
just
doesn't
make
a
whole
lot
of
sense.
C
We're
saying:
well,
we
can't
do
it
well,
we're
doing
it,
and
I
think
this
is
going
to
happen
a
lot
and
frankly,
meetings
with
staff
have
been
really
good
and
you
don't
have
to
go
to.
You
know,
go
down
there
or
something,
but
the
other
factor
is
there
are
some
people
out
there
who
are
amazing
people
in
certain
areas
and
they
may
have
a
disability
or
they
may
need
to
be
at
home
for
some
reason
and
they
can
participate
in
all
and
we're
we're
shutting
them
out.
C
I'm
not
sure
it's
even,
I
think
it
touches
on,
I
I
wouldn't
say
illegal,
but
it's
a
little
bit
where
we're
not
walking
the
talk.
We
want
inclusion,
we
want
equity
and
we
want
people
who
are
disabled
or
who
have
other
factors
to
be
able
to
participate
and
we're
saying
no,
you
can't
do
it
and
I
have
a
there's,
a
friend
of
mine,
of
other
people,
who
was
on
the
with
a
certain
commission
and
the
very
confident
person,
but
he
missed
a
lot
of
meetings
because
of
things
that
could
have
been
controlled.
C
He
could
have
been
having
doing
it
remotely
and
we
hadn't
had
to
cancel
meetings
because
we
didn't
have
a
quarrel,
so
I
think
we're
missing
an
opportunity
here
to
do
something
really
good
and
really
to
address
our
values
that
we
say
we
believe
in
and
at
least
let's
look
at
this
and
see
if
we
can
come
up
with.
I
bet
you
there
are
people
doing
this
in
a
lot
of
places
and
with
different
organizations.
The
world
has
changed
from
two
years
ago
and
we're
we're
living
it
right
now.
So
why
can't?
C
We
continue
doing
that
in
in
really
good
circumstances.
We're
not
talking
about
the
council,
although
we
let
people
you
know,
go
for
a
long
time
and
not
showing
up
but
participating
by
phone.
So
that's
that's
the
way.
I
look
at
we're
missing.
We
have
an
opportunity
here
to
do
something
really
neat,
and
that
is
a
compel
that
really
addresses
our
what
we
say.
We
believe
in
and
it's
time
to
walk
the
talk.
Q
Q
Now
what
I
laid
out
about
reinstating
the
previous
code
language,
but
allowing
medical
reasons,
people
to
have
remote
participation
for
longer
term
and
allowing
council
to
suspend
that
for,
for
various
reasons
like
someone
needs
a
break
and
wants
to
participate
remotely.
I
think
that
that
is
strikes
the
right
balance
between
making
sure
people
can
participate
and
get
and
getting
the
people's
business
done
in
an
accountable
manner.
Q
The
you
know
many
of
us
served
on
boards
and
commissions.
I
had
a
baby
when
I
was
on
the
planning
commission
and
I
brought
her
to
meetings
well,
you
know
before
she
was
eating
solid
foods.
Otherwise
I
couldn't
have
come.
I
occasionally
brought
my
young
children
to
count
to
commission
meetings
and
put
them
in
the
audience.
Q
I
think
we
need
and
and
not
every
commissioner,
not
every
council
member
makes
it
to
every
meeting.
I
almost
never
appear
remotely
when
I'm
out
of
town,
because
I
know
it's
disruptive
to
my
colleagues
unless
there's
something
really
a
burning
issue
for
me
to
call
in
because
I
trust
you
all-
and
I
don't
you
know-
I've
historically
not
missed
that
many
meetings.
But
when
I
do,
I
do
boards
and
commissions
are
the
same
way.
Q
So
you
know
allowing
them
to
have
the
same
flexibility
and
mind
you
the
four
times
a
year,
it's
more
like
eight
times
a
year
for
us,
because
a
lot
of
the
boards
and
commissions
only
meet
once
a
month
or
twice
a
month
versus
we
meet
four
times
a
month.
So
that's
you
know
what
one
one
tenth
or
one
less
than
one
tenth
of
the
meetings
were
allowed
to
appear
remotely.
Q
If
it's
a
commission
that
meets
once
a
month
and
they
don't
meet
in
august
and
they
don't
meet
in
december-
that's
almost
half
of
the
meetings
where
they
could
be
remote,
so
I
don't
think
having
it
be
back
to
the
prior
code,
language,
with
the
additional
exceptions
for
people
that
have
a
medical
situation,
people
that
have
an
ongoing
problem
and
to
create
that
diversity
would
be
a
problem.
Q
I
think
that
you
know
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
folks
who
are
on
our
boards
and
commissions
are
there
doing
the
people's
work,
that
they
have
a
remote
option,
occasionally
as
needed
or
more
if
they
have
a
situation
and
and
move
on
with
it.
So
I
and
I'm
very
much
opposed
to
number
three
allowing
you
know
the
boards
and
commissions
they
could
all
end
up
with
different
different
standards.
That
needs
to
be
something
that
council
sets.
Thank
you,
okay,.
A
Thank
you.
So
I'm
sensing
you
know
opposing
views
here,
yes
for
flexibility,
but
how
do
you
get
to
get
to
that
flexibility,
and
so
I
I
have
kind
of
a
idea
of
what
I'd
like
to
see
and
I
think
councilmember
robertson
has
an
idea
what
she'd
like
to
see
charmaine.
Do
you
have
any
suggested
motion
that
encapsulates.
A
U
So
maybe
it
would
be
helpful
if
I
could
try
to
summarize
what
I
at
least
would
I?
What
I
think
I
I've
heard
is
that
there's
potentially
an
option
to
instead
of
no
more
than
two
members,
no
more
than
three
members.
That's
a
limit
that
I
believe
is
now
in
the
opma
anyway.
So
that's
that's
pretty
much
said
so
so,
no
more
than
three
members
at
any
one
meeting,
potentially
no
limit
on
how
often
so
get
rid
of
the
four
times
a
year.
U
I
think
councilmember
robertson's
got
a
slight
variation
on
that
and
then
you
know
it.
It
has
to
be
approved
in
advance
by
the
board,
because
otherwise
you
can't
guarantee
you're
only
going
to
have
three
and
it
has
to
be
so
that's
the
same
and
then
leaving
it
up
to
the
board
to
decide
how
they
are
going
to
do
that,
whether
they
have
in
advance,
as
as
the
deputy
mayor
said,
someone
they
know
has
a
consistent.
U
You
know
need
to
be
one
of
the
three
at
every
meeting
and
they
just
approve
it
for
that
term
or
whether
they
do
it
on
a
meeting
by
meeting
basis.
That's
one
option
is
no
more
than
three.
You
can
no
limit
on
how
often
and
you
can
has
to
be
approved
in
advance
by
the
board,
and
you
leave
it
up
to
the
boards
to
decide
how
they,
how
they
do
that.
U
That's
one
thing
I
heard
I
also
heard
potentially
a
desire
to
go,
get
some
feedback
from
the
boards
and
commissions
and
then
the
third
thing
I
I
is
what
I
heard
is
what
council
member
robertson
was
discussing,
which
is
to
leave
it
the
way
it
is
with
some
added
exceptions,
for
emergencies
or
for
people
who
have
some
sort
of
a
disability.
U
Is
it
I
it's
so
that?
Let
me
ask
you
if,
if
I
got
that
right,
that's
what
I
thought
I
heard
as
a
potential.
S
I
was
just
going
to
mention
one
other
point
in
terms
of
checking
with
other
cities
as
well
in
terms
of
retinas
doing
hybrid
meetings
right
now.
So
if
we
do
look
at
what
other,
if
there
is
an
opportunity
to
consider
what
others
are
doing,
I
think
that's
a
fun
that
we
can.
A
Do
so
charmaine,
can
you
talk
about
what
the
timeline
would
be
if
we
were,
if
you
were
to
go
and
kind
of
research,
this
a
little
more,
the
flexible
option.
B
So
again
I'll
defer
to
kathy,
but
the
return
to
in-person
meetings
is
going
to
begin
tentatively
in
mid-april,
so
this
code,
provision
for
boards
and
commissions
would
need
to
be
resolved.
Prior
to
that.
A
U
And
I'm
not
sure
we
would
have
time
for
all
the
boards
and
commissions
before
to
get
it
back
in
front
of
the
council
before
the
18th
can.
A
I
see
if
we
could
get
a
vote
on
this
idea
that
that
consistent
across
all
boards
and
commissions
provide
for
remote
flexibility
as
needed
to
a
maximum
of
three
border
commissioners
at
a
time
within
the
bounds
of
the
opma
and
other
laws,
and
that
it
be
approved
in
advance
by
the
board
or
commission.
Chair.
A
D
A
Hear
you
councilmember
stokes
your
hand
was
up
and
then
council
member
lee
mayor
thought
I
was
next.
I'm
sorry,
you
are
okay,
so.
Q
So
I
I
support
the
idea
of
what
you're
proposing.
I
think
that
that
strikes
a
really
nice
middle
ground
balance.
I
would
like
to
with
the
exception
of
someone
who
has
a
medical
or
other
issue
that
keeps
them
away,
make
it
so
that
people
don't
that
there
be
some
sort
of
cap,
whether
it's
no
more
than
a
third
of
the
meetings.
Q
No
more
than
a
half
of
the
meetings
are
remote
in
a
given
year
because
unless
they
have
an
issue,
if
they
just
don't
want
to
come
to
city
hall,
because
it's
easier
to
stay
at
home,
that's
not
necessarily
full
participation
when
everyone's
on
zoom.
It's
one
thing
when
they're,
not
it's
not!
So
if
you
would
be
amenable,
then
jared
as
the
motion
maker
would
be
amenable
to
that.
I'd
like
to
have
some
sort
of
cap
so
I'd.
Q
Because
then,
I
think
that
that
strikes
a
really
nice
balance
of
consistency
across
the
boards
and
commissions,
flexibility
for
the
people
that
need
it,
making
sure
that
we
have
a
quorum
and
that
we
don't
exceed
the
three
people
out
and
making
sure
that,
because,
if
it's
the
same
three
people
sending
in
their
note
every
single
week,
so
that
they
jump
the
queue
and
are
always
the
one
who's
out.
That's
not
fair
to
their
colleagues,
who
might
also
occasionally
need
to
be
appear
remotely.
A
Well,
I
you
know
the
warden.
Can
commission
chair
whomever,
has
an
opportunity
to
say
no
to
whomever
they
want.
We
all
have
a
person
in
mind
that
we're
envisioning
when
we're
thinking
of
this
rule.
The
person
that
I
have
in
mind
is
a
former
human
services
commissioner,
who
had
a
disability
with
their
gait,
had
a
very
painful
gait
that
was
getting
progressively
worse
and
was
using
a
walker
to
go
all
the
way
from
the
parking
lot
to
the
council
chambers
for
their
meetings
and
ended
up.
A
A
A
It's
not
always
obvious,
but
anyway,
okay,
let's
see
we
had
councilmember
stokes
and
then
councilmember
lee.
C
Well,
I
think
we're
getting
to
a
a
better
place
here
and
what
I'm
also
interested
in
is
not
just
people
who
are
already
there,
but
I
know
there
are
some
people
out
there
who
would
like
to
be
and
could
be
and
would
be
amazing
on
a
border
commission,
but
they
have
a
condition
that
would
not
allow
them
to
do
that
and
we
would
not
even
consider
them
so
we're
talking
about
people
who
are
already
there
and
if
we
can
tweak
this
in
a
way
that
would
allow
someone
who
has
like
your
the
person
you
you
mention.
C
C
So
if
we
could
do
this
so
that
people
who
could
be
could
be
considered
if
they
have
a
certain
condition
but
they're
just
amazing,
and
we
and
and
we
and
we're
meeting
our
requirements
also
for
you
know
in
a
lot
of
ways
in
terms
of
accessibility
and
all
that,
why
can't
we
do
that?
I
think
it's
it's
doable
and
I
was
never
saying
we
just
open
it
up
and
people
could
do
you
know
just
not
come
at
all.
R
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
This
is
amazing,
conversation
and
meeting
we
are
having.
I
mean,
I'm
really
touched
by
the
the
intention
and
the
the
good
will
and
the
the
the
value
that
we
are
articulating.
R
You
know
as
a
group
and
that's
a
city
if
we
can
represent
the
city,
and
I
think,
but
you
know
it's
amazing.
We
want
to
do
everything
fair
and
eco.
You
know,
I
really
respect
that
and
because,
where
I
really
be
I
mean
I
I
believe
it
obviously
and
maybe
not
obviously,
but
we
have
articulated.
I
don't
think
we
live
that
way
and
some
of
them
we
have
most
of
us
live
that.
But
you
know
there
are
many,
but
many
things
we
can
do.
R
This
is
just
not
one
thing
we're
just
talking
about
one
little
thing:
there's
a
thousand
other
things.
We
can
do
so
much
more.
That
will
make
so
much
more
importance
and
so
much
more
meaning
so
much
more
impact.
And
so
so
we
need
to
prioritize
prioritize.
We
need
to
see
where
we
attack
to
get
the
most
bank
out
of
of
of
the
of
the
buck,
and
you
know
we
spend
so
much
time
to
talk
about
commission.
R
You
know
we
need
to
look
at
the
issue.
That's
why
I
appreciate
some
of
us
are
saying
that
let's
look
at
data,
let's
look
at
analysis.
Like
fact,
where
can
we
get
the
biggest
bang
right?
That's
the
key,
and
I
I
think
that
we
we
we.
You
know
we
want
to
do
this
perfectly
but,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
the
seven
people
we
try
to
do
as
much
as
we
can.
I
think
we've
accomplished
a
lot.
The
proof
is
including
that
we
have
a
wonderful
commission
board
system.
R
R
You
know
I
would
never
had
a
chance
to
get
on
the
commission,
because,
where
I'm
coming
from
oh
what
I
look
like
who
do,
I
know
no
way
you
know,
but
because
of
times
change
and
they're,
more
enlightened
people,
they're
people
who
have
you
know,
passion
like
we
are
you
guys
talking
about
it
doing
something
about
it?
It's
changed
a
lot.
Look
at
the
city
of
bellevue
the
way
we
have
improved
and
gone,
no,
we're
far
from
perfect
we're
so
far
from
a
lot
more
to
go.
R
R
R
A
I'll
tell
you
what
I'm
going
to
ask
the
deputy
mayor
to
make
a
motion
I'd
like
you
to
add
that
we
reassess
in
a
year
just
like
on
the
other
one,
and
then
we
can
see
where
we're
at
we'll
see.
You
know
what
the
vote
is.
I
don't
know
where
this
is
going
but
deputy
mayor.
Could
you
make
a
motion?
Please
certainly.
G
Mayor,
I
move
in
order
to
accommodate
all
abilities
to
attend
and
participate
in
board
or
commission
meetings
and
to
be
consistent
across
all
boards
and
commissions
provide
an
opportunity
for
remote
flexibility
as
needed
to
a
maximum
of
three
board
or
commission
members
at
a
time,
within
the
bounds
of
opma
and
other
laws
to
be
reviewed
by
the
council.
After
one
year's
time.
A
C
Stokes,
I
just
want
to
I'm
going
forward
because
I
think
I
think
we
want
to
move
it
along
and
I
think
we're
getting
there.
But
I
think
the
language
would
include
the
ability
to
choose
a
person
to
come
on
to
a
board
or
commission
who
would
meet
the
criteria
and
that's.
A
Yeah,
because
I
I
agree
with
you,
it
shouldn't
it
should
be,
you
know
not
it.
The
ability
to
be
in
person
should
not
be
a
limiting
factor
in
your
being
chosen
for
a
board
or
commission
good
okay.
So
I
hear
what
you're
saying
no.
I
appreciate
that.
Thank
you,
so
it'll
come
anyway,
we'll
we
can
review
it
in
a
year
and
see
how
this
how
this
works.
