We
have
freedom
and
we
seek
for
justice
and
for
all
so
I'm
honored
to
read
us
the
following:
Proclamation,
whereas
about
24
million
Americans
proudly
identify
themselves
to
be
of
Asian,
South,
Asian
native
Hawaiian
and
or
other
Pacific
island
Heritage,
and
whereas
Asian
American
native
Hawaiian
and
Pacific
Islanders
form
an
American
community
of
some
25
major
ethnic
groups
who
speak
more
than
15
different
languages
and
belong

a
wide

Washington
cities
and
several
organizations,
host
festivals
and
events
in
the
city,
honoring,
the
heritage
of
these
communities
and
whereas
we
acknowledge
the
institutional
in
systematic
injustices
that
have
historically
impacted
these
communities,
making
it
more
difficult
to
be
heard
and
seen
as
well
as
the
struggle
to
remain
safe
amid
instances
of
hate
and
misinformation.
C
And
whereas
we
strive
to
raise
us
awareness
of

Concourse.
C
Now,
therefore,
I
on
behalf
of
Lynn
Robinson,
mayor
of
the
city
of
Bellevue
Washington
and
on
behalf
of
the
city
council,
to
hereby
proclaim
the
month
of
May
2023,
Asian,
American
native
Hawaiian
and
Pacific
Islander
Heritage
Month
in
Bellevue,
and
encourage
all
residents
to
celebrate
the
rich
diversity
of
this
community
to
enjoy
and
appreciate
their
many
contributions
to
our
city.
To
reflect
on
the
many
challenges
they
have
faced
through
history
and
in
current
times,
and
to
join
in
looking
forward
to
a
future
of
Hope
safety
and
optimism.
A
D
Oh,
thank
you,
mayor,
I
think
it's
so
special
to
be
able
to
celebrate
a
nhpi
month,
because
we
know
that
we
have
been
part
of
the
U.S
history
for
many
many
years
and
so
I'm
really
excited
that
we
are
making
this
Proclamation.
D
In
fact,
in
many
states,
there's
work
to
promote
a
program
called
make
us
visible,
where
we're
actually
able
to
teach
API
history
in
our
schools
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
just
talking
about
the
the
challenges
that
we've
had
as
a
and
HPI,
but
also
to
celebrate
the
contributions
as
well.
So
thank
you,
mayor
perfect.
Do.
A
F
Thank
you
mayor,
whereas
International
firefighters
day
is
observed
each
year
on
May
4th
to
honor
and
remember
past
firefighters,
who
have
lost
their
lives
while
serving
their
communities
and
to
Express
gratitude
to
those
who
have
saved
sorry
who
have
served
in
this
line
of
work
and
to
show
support
and
appreciation
for
those
who
presently
serve.
And
whereas
this
commemoration
was
born
out
of
a
tragic
loss
of
five
firefighters
on
December,
2nd
1998
in
a
wildfire
in
Victoria
Australia.
The
resulting
day
of
recognition
was
a
way
to
honor
their
lives
and
the
sacrifice.
F
Firefighters
are
willing
to
make
for
the
people
they
serve
daily
and
whereas
the
demands
of
firefighting
are
accompanied
by
both
personal
and
physical
tools
that
all
firefighters
knowingly
accept,
while
risking
their
lives
to
protect
the
lives
of
others.
And
whereas
at
a
moment's
notice.
Firefighters
are
quick
to
respond
to
uncertain
situations,
to
mitigate
danger
and
combat
the
threat
of
destructive
fire
or
medical
emergencies,
to
protect
individuals,
families
and
economic
well-being
of
our
community.
F
Since
1998
and
demonstrating
the
commitment
of
all
Bellevue
firefighters
to
operate
at
the
highest
standards,
now,
therefore
I
on
behalf
of
Lynn
Robinson,
mayor
of
the
city
of
Bellevue
Washington
and
on
behalf
of
its
city
council,
do
hereby
Proclaim
May
4th
2023
as
International
firefighters
day
and
encourage
all
residents
to
show
support
and
appreciation
to
our
city
of
Bellevue
fire
department
and
firefighters,
who
diligently
protect
lives
and
property
and
by
remembering
past
firefighters
who
dedicated
their
lives
to
preserve
our
safety,
signed.
Lynn
Robinson,
mayor
city
of
Bellevue.
Thank.
A
You
Deputy
Mayor,
and
we
have
accepting
tonight,
Battalion
102,
Chief
Luke,
steer.
We
have
from
engine
101
Lieutenant,
Steve,
cyrath,
engineer,
Nick
Young
couple
firefighter
Jessica,
slider
and
Aid
102
is
here
with
firefighter
de
Andre
Goodwin
and
Juno
Kim.
Would
you
like
to
come
up
and
accept
this?
Please
would
anybody
like
to
speak
to
it?
G
Yeah,
thank
you.
We're
humbled
to
be
here
to
represent
all
firefighters,
but
specifically
Bellevue,
firefighters
and
those
that
have
come
before
us
that
made
that
sacrifice
in
their
life.
But
we
are
very,
very
proud
to
serve
the
Bellevue
Community
and
the
surrounding
communities
and
and
humbly
accept
this
recognition.
Great.
A
A
A
H
Yes,
mayor
I
really
appreciate
being
asked
to
do
this.
I
spent
about
over
10
years
with
department
of
health,
education
and
Welfare
and
HHS
as
a
regional
attorney
for
Phi
state
region.
So
I've
been
a
public
servant
in
that
and
then
in
when
he
came
here,
I
worked
the
office
of
hearings
and
appeals
in
Seattle
for
about
the
same
over
time,
12
years
so
I
particularly
appreciate
and
understand
how
much
is
I
asked
the
public
service
and
the
servants
and
how
much
they
they
give
back.
H
Now,
therefore,
I
on
the
behalf
of
Lynn
Robinson,
mayor
of
the
city
of
Bellevue
Washington
and
on
behalf
this
is
city
council
to
hereby
proclaim
the
week
of
May
7th
through
13th
2023
as
public
service
recognition
week
in
Bellevue,
and
urge
all
citizens
to
reflect
on
the
contributions
of
public
employees
who
carried
out
and
carry
out
the
missions
of
our
various
branches
of
government.
I
Sure
I
think
it's
a
great
honor
for
anybody
that
and
and
I
speak
on
behalf
of
all
employees
that
you
know
we
are
here
to
do
a
job
in
as
public
servants
do
for
that
purpose
to
serve
the
public
and
it's
a
great
honor
that
you
know
there's
a
proclamation
speaking
to
that
this
evening.
So
thank
you
mayor.
Thank
you
all
right.
Let's
do
a
picture.
I
A
F
F
B
You
mayor
this
evening
there
are
eight
pre-registered
speakers
and
so
I
will
remind
the
public
of
the
rules
around
oral
Communications.
It
is
for
a
period
of
no
more
than
30
minutes
and
each
speaker
will
be
given
three
minutes
to
make
their
comments.
Only
three
speakers
will
be
allowed
to
speak
to
any
one
side
of
a
particular
topic
and,
in
addition,
in
compliance
with
Washington
state
public
disclosure
laws,
the
use
of
public
facilities
during
elections
that
no
election
related
topics
may
be
discussed
during
oral
Communications
or
other
public
participation
points
of
the
agenda.
B
This
includes
discussion
of
ballot
measures,
endorsement
of
candidates
or
political
parties.
In
speaking
on
behalf
of
a
campaign,
including
your
own
campaign,
any
speaker
who
begins
discussing
topics
of
this
nature
will
be
given
a
verbal
warning,
as
this
is
considered
a
disruption
to
the
meeting
and
may
be
asked
to
be
removed
from
council
chambers
and
with
that
I'll
call.
Our
first
speaker
on
the
list
who
is
Patrick,
Bannon
and
Mr
Bannon
is
here
in
person.
Thank
you.
J
Good
evening
mayor
Robinson,
Deputy
Mayor
new
in
house
council
member
city
manager,
Miyaki,
my
name
is
Patrick
Bannon
I'm,
president
and
CEO
of
the
Bellevue
Downtown
Association
I
work
across
the
street
I
love
coming
to
Council
meetings.
So
it's
easy
to
do
and
I
gave
my
wife
a
heads
up,
so
I
checked
the
boxes
tonight
and
on
this
particular
evening,
I
would
like
to
speak
in
support
and
share
my
thanks
for
the
keep
Bellevue
beautiful
program
and
the
safe
and
clean
initiative
on
tonight's
agenda.
J
I've
had
the
privilege-
and
it
really
has
been
a
privilege
of
working
in
this
community
for
over
17
years,
and
there
have
been
issues
that
have
come
and
gone.
Some
we've
agreed
to
agreed
to
and
some
you
know,
there's
debate
and
I
think
there's
one
issue
that
continues
to
bring
people
together
unite
the
community
and
that
is
a
safe
and
clean
neighborhood.
And
so
it's
not
just
a
downtown
issue.
It
really
is
a
city-wide
issue.
J
B
K
Yes,
I
can
hear
you
can
hear
me.
We
can.
Your
time
begins
now:
okay,
great
good
evening,
councilmember
Robinson
and
a
city
council
on
behalf
of
the
Bellevue
Chamber.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
opportunity
to
provide
comment
this
evening
in
support
of
the
keep
Bellevue
beautiful
program,
as
well
as
someone
who
interfaces
with
businesses
and
individuals
looking
to
make
Bellevue
their
home.
K
It's
really
a
welcoming
place
to
all
that
come
here,
and
so,
as
an
aside,
our
chamber,
CEO
Joe
Fain,
is
offering
to
use
his
Fridays
this
summer
to
pull
shopping,
cart,
cleanup
Duty.
He
may
or
may
not
be
aware
that
I'm
offering
this,
but
we'll
just
sign
him
up
and
he
won't
be
the
wiser,
but
in
all
seriousness
the
Bellevue
Chamber
really
looks
forward
to
being
a
close
partner
in
this
program
and
thanks
City
staff
and
Council
for
their
dedication
to
our
city.
Thank
you.
L
Hi
good
evening,
mayor
council
members,
you
guys
can
call
me
Joe.
We
are
the
owner
of
the
Collide
new
business
or
dance
studio.
We're
trying
to
come
like
you
know
us
that
we're
in
the
Belleville
City
in
the
Lake,
Hill
Plaza
and
then
we
are
facing
an
issue
is
like
we
are
when
we
can
like
try
to
come
like
submit
our
premade
for
our
construction
and
then
like
City,
actually
come
like
give
us
like
Transportation
impact
fee.
L
The
amount
of
like
the
transportation
impact
fee
is
kind
of
like
huge,
and
it's
like
a
huge
burden
on
on
our
work
on
like
a
business,
and
then
we
are
actually
kind
of
like
try
to
kind
of
like
negotiate
with
the
landlord
like
like
last
two
months
while
like
during
the
time,
we're
actually
paying
a
lot
extra
extra.
And
then
we
are
actually
kind
of
like
just
like
thinking
about
like.
L
If
the
city
can
change
the
system
actually
build
the
transportation
impact
fee
to
the
landlord,
because
it
seems
like
the
develop,
like
you
know,
plan
like
the
tenant
and
the
parking
ratio
at
the
beginning
and
as
a
new
tenant
like
moving
into
the
plaza.
We
are
not
aware
of
like
this
thing
like
at
the
beginning,
and
it's
actually
kind
of
like
really
hurting
our
business
at
this
point.
L
A
M
Robinson,
an
honorable
city
council
members,
I,
was
here
last
week
and
my
ask
was
that
the
ti
permit
that
I've
applied
for
got
a
traffic
impact
fee
of
124
000,
that's
attached
to
it
that
the
city
does
not
regulations
do
not
allow
do
they
don't
care
who
pays
for
it
as
long
as
that's
paid,
my
I
got
a
call
back
from
the
city
manager's
office
a
couple
hours
ago,
and
they
said
based
on
the
current
code.
M
There
is
no
way
for
differentiating
who
will
pay
for
the
fees.
My
ask
was
last
week
was,
which
was
motion
was
granted
was
that
the
landlord
tend
to
be
paid
should
pay
for
the
traffic
impact
fee
because
they
are
the
ultimate
beneficiary
of
the
renting
the
space,
and
my
ask
is
very
simple
at
this
point:
can
the
city
and
Improvement
permit
without
me
paying
that
traffic
impact
fee
and
that
we
built
to
the
landlord
the
developer
of
the
property.
A
So
we've
heard
you-
and
we
can't
have
it
back
and
forth
that
like
this,
but
if
you
would
like
to
have
I
think
you're
you've
been
in
conversation
with
our
leadership
team
over
here
and
you
can
continue
those
conversations.
But
we
have
heard
you
and
so
that's
what
public
comments
for
it's,
not
for
a
discussion.
I'm.
B
N
B
O
Great
thank
you
good
evening,
mayor
and
council
members.
Tomorrow
is
the
opening
day
for
the
Newport
Hills
Woodlawn
Park
off-leash
area,
and
while
I
was
at
the
park
last
week,
I
received
comments
from
visitors
from
Seattle,
Renton
and
Newcastle
about
how
huge
the
off-leash
area
is,
and
my
answer
was
yes.
I
know
it
was
supposed
to
be
a
neighborhood
park
and
instead
it's
become
a
regional
off-leash
dog
park.
O
The
Parks
Board
said
they
didn't
want
to
create
an
attractant,
but
I
fear.
That's
exactly
what
was
created:
a
beautiful
looking
attractant
drawing
in
dog
owners
from
many
different
cities,
yet
there's
little
room
for
Newport
Hills
residents
to
gather
for
a
neighborhood
picnic,
which
was
something
that
we
spent
years
looking
forward
to.
O
O
While
the
sign
at
Robinswood
off
leash
area
is
huge
and
posted
at
eye
level,
so
that
you
have
to
look
at
it
as
you
enter
the
off
leash
vestibule,
so
I
don't
understand
why
Robinswood
got
a
huge
sign
and
Newport
Hills
received
a
tiny
easy
to
miss
sign,
especially
given
that
we
know
there's
going
to
be
problems
with
the
awfully
choosers
at
Newport
Hills.
That's
historic!
O
I
also
witnessed
a
couple
exiting
the
loot
trail
with
their
two
bulldogs
off
leash
I'd
ask
for
signs
at
both
entrances
to
the
loop
trail
indicating
that
dogs
must
be
kept
on
leash.
Parks
did
put
a
sign
to
that
effect
on
the
bottom
of
the
post,
located
near
the
lower
trail
entrance.
But
again
it's
really
easy
to
miss,
because
the
sign
is
Tiny,
it's
low
to
the
ground
and
the
post
is
kind
of
set
off
to
the
side.
O
So
there's
no
sign
at
the
upper
trail
entrance
and
that's
where
I
saw
the
Bulldog
owners
enter
so
again,
I'd
like
to
ask
that
Parks
correct
the
signage
issue
and
do
some
emphasis
patrols,
because
I
have
a
lot
of
neighbors
who'd
like
to
enjoy
that
trail
without
encountering
off-leashed
dogs
and
then
finally,
I
just
like
to
ask
that
Parks
reach
out
to
the
group
of
dog
owners.
Who've
been
meeting
at
ring.
O
Doll,
middle
school
and
I
do
know
that
Parks
knows
how
to
reach
them
to
remind
them
of
the
park
and
off-leash
rules
area
off
leash
area
rules,
namely
that
they
remain
in
the
off-leash
area,
supervising
their
dogs
versus
sitting
up
on
the
overlooked
bench
or
the
picnic.
Shelter
and
I'd
also
ask
parks
to
remind
these
folks
that
this
is
public
park
property
and
that
they
shouldn't
leave
personal
belongings,
such
as
chairs
and
other
personal
effects
at
the
off
leash
area,
as
they
did
prior
to
park
property
development.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
Thank
you,
my
apologies.
We
do
have
two
additional
speakers
on
the
pre-registered
list
and
Joe
kunzler
is
the
next
in
line
Mr
kunzler.
Can
you
hear
me.
P
Yes,
I
can
I
can
hear
you
on
clear.
Thank
you
for
your
continued
Public
Service
I
want
to
thank
you
for
that
public
service
resolution.
Our
public
servants
do
incredible
work
from
administering
meetings
to
fighting
fires,
doing
forcing
the
law
and
I
signed
in
on
intergovernment
Affairs,
because
a
certain
resident
of
yours,
I'm
asking
for
you
to
remind
Alex
Zimmerman
that
there's
a
free
thousand
dollar
fine.
He
has
to
pay
the
public
disclosure
commission
over
the
next
month
and
I
know.
P
This
is
a
little
awkward,
but
some
of
us
are
trying
to
track
him
down
and
we
see
him
in
the
audience.
So
if
you
could
handle
that,
that
would
be
great
had
the
fine
was
issued
just
last
Thursday.
Thank
you
for
your
public
service
and
one
last
thing.
I
vehemently
object
to
the
words
and
phrases
and
racism
that
mystery
Zimmerman
used
in
addressing
you
last
week
and
I
hope
you
do
as
well.
That
was
quarterly
out
of
line.
Thank
you
for
aerobic
service.
Q
On
my
dirty
damn
Nazi
fascist
buying
data
Criminal,
a
critiana
from
Animal
Farm,
my
name
Alexander
when
I
once
speak
today
about
two
point
point
number
one
is
about
bicycle:
you
spend
a
million
and
million
dollars
for
bicycle
and
how
many
bicycle
in
Bellevue,
probably
a
couple
dozen
for
the
last
35
years,
I
see
bike
in
Seattle
building
three
times
35
years
three
times
little
bit
too
much
I
understand
why
you
spend
some
million
dollars.
That's
very
interesting
for
me.
If
you
have
like
a
30
or
40
000
people,
what
else
cannot
afford
housing?
Q
Because
right
now
statistic,
I'm
statistic:
couple
days
ago,
Seattle
can
country
in
Bellevue
number
one
in
prices
for
the
last
10
years.
We
are
here.
We
are
best
of
the
best,
it's
very
important
for
me,
so
you
spend
something
for
what
for
what
for
a
couple
dozen
bicycle
bike,
because
they
are
Lobby,
but
what
they
support
Democrat
for
many
years
and
I
speak
about
this
many
times
public.
The
number
two.
What
is
I
want
to
explain
to
you.
Q
Is
this
an
agenda
right
now,
Human
Rights,
Commission,
Human,
Service,
Commission
I
go
to
this
commission
every
month
or
twice
per
month,
something
every
time.
You
know
what
is
mean
and
people
come
and
complain
to
them
complain.
You
know
what
I
mean
last
meeting
to
help
complain.
I
complain
too.
The
most
is
discriminatory.
Complaint
I
complain
because
I
think
Bellevue
Fair
city
in
America
when
white
people
have
a
something
strange
situation,
a
holocaust
here,
that's
it
because
it's
minority
right
now
so
I
speak
too.
So
I
spoke
to
this
idiot.
Q
12
idiot
and
said:
ask
a
simple
question:
when
people
come
complain
to
you,
why
you
don't
give
answer?
Seattle
have
three
similar
committee
and
I
speak
dozen
times
in
each
committee
and
have
answers
sometimes
I
don't
have
answers,
but
official
Complaint
I
have,
and
this
not
happening
in
Bellevue
biggest
city
right
now
in
Seattle,
in
state
Washington,
for
my
understanding
in
more
intellectual
and
more
Rich.
So
this
is
very
important.
So
two
managers
are
presenting
this
meeting
human
care
commission.
So
they
told
me
go
to
director
I
go
to
director
three
weeks
or
most
months.
Q
No
answer:
I
go
to
my
manager,
no
answer
to
guys
when
you
stopping
acting
like
a
degenerate
idiot
with
Nazi,
fascist
type
of
principle.
People
may
complain
give
official
answer.
Somebody
possibly
give
answer
then
doesn't
complain
most
discriminatory,
come
to
this
meeting
and
you're
very
quiet
for
this
information.
B
R
B
R
Hello
is
this
one
on
it
is
okay.
Thank
you,
council
members
for
your
first
amendment
allowance,
I,
find
it
very
difficult,
but
I
really
appreciate
the
fact
that
you
sit
through
this
every
week
and
deal
with
it
as
best
we
can.
R
My
daughter
is
in
DC
right
now,
so
I'm
feeling
really
tied
into
that
kind
of
stuff
right
now,
I'm
going
to
see
Madison
and
Jefferson's
house
and
all
that,
but
the
thing
that
I
came
up
here
to
really
talk
about
is
I,
want
to
thank
the
mayor
for
coming
over
to
Pikes
Peak
and
checking
out
our
swivel
back
and
forth
back
S
curves
that
we
have
there.
Some
people
in
our
neighborhood
were
worried
about
the
trees
dying
off
and
causing
the
road
to
be
unstable
and
I.
N
I'm
Betsy
Hummer
I
live
right
next
to
Bellevue
College,
it's
nice
to
I
haven't
been
here
for
quite
a
while.
So
it's
nice
to
see
you
all
I
am
here
to
say
thanks
for
doing
the
keep
Bellevue
beautiful
initiative,
I
think
that's
really
wonderful.
I've
been
talking
to
a
number
of
people
about
shopping
carts
for
a
long
time.
I
followed
Mr
fantels
example
on
keep
Bellevue
green
and
clean
and
I've
been
reporting
shopping.
N
So
thanks
for
keeping
Bellevue
beautiful
I,
just
love
that
you
know,
it
also
reminds
me
of
Malcolm
gladwell's
book
way
back
when
the
Tipping
Point,
where
once
we
keep
things
clean
people
are
safe
and
we
use
our
city
the
best
we
can.
Everyone
loves
Bellevue
because
it
is
safe
and
beautiful
and
we
all
can
live
our
best
lives
here.
So
thanks
keep
Bellevue
beautiful.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Next
up,
I
think
we
have
the
consent,
calendar
I.
A
Those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
opposed.
Okay,
we
have
three
study
session
items
tonight,
Mr
Miyake.
Would
you
like
to
introduce
the
first
one?
Yes,.
I
This
is
the
first
topic
is
a
recommendation
from
our
Human
Services
Commission
for
three
million
of
the
10
million
Harper
dollars
that
were
appropriated
in
the
23-24
budget.
Just
recently,
tonight's
presentation
will
provide
the
Human
Services
Commission
recommendation
on
how
that
three
million
dollars
will
be
allocated
towards
critical
Human
Service
needs
following
the
presentation
staff
will
be
seeking
direction
to
prepare
a
resolution
for
a
future
meeting.
I
S
Hey
you're
in
councilman
having
us
this
evening
this
evening,
as
the
city
manager
mentioned
I'm
here
tonight
with
our
commission
chair,
Ted
Mansfield.
In
addition,
we
have
other
human
services
staff
and
Commissioners
in
our
remote
audience
that
have
been
a
vital
part
of
this
process.
We
are
seeking
feedback
to
prepare
resolution,
your
direction
on
approximately
three
million
dollars
based
on
the
Human
Services
commission's
recommendations
that
we
will
be
going
over
this
evening
and
again.
S
In
addition,
at
the
end
of
our
presentation,
we'll
briefly
go
over
some
information
about
an
upcoming
Human
Services
strategic
planning
process
to
provide
a
little
bit
of
background
before
we
get
started
throughout
the
pandemic.
The
council
has
shown
a
deep
commitment
to
the
community
and
responsiveness
to
the
hardship
residents
have
experienced
and
are
continuing
to
experience
from
the
pandemic.
In
total,
the
council
has
allocated
over
21
million
dollars
in
one-time
pandemic
funding.
S
This
began
right
at
the
start
of
the
pandemic,
with
Council
allocating
four
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
from
the
council
contingency
and
continued
with
allocations
of
multiple
cdbg
sources.
Multiple
cares
rounds
of
dollars
and,
most
recently,
a
total
of
17
million
dollars
in
arpa
funding
throughout
this
funding.
The
city
of
Bellevue
has
definitely
lived
into
its
values,
and
we
want
to
thank
you
for
your
tremendous
support
for
our
most
vulnerable
community
members
and,
as
you
all
know,
most
of
the
funding
sources
listed
here.
Cdbg
cares.
S
Most
recently
in
response
to
the
need,
the
city
council
allocated
10
million
dollars
of
the
second
tranche
of
arpa
funding
for
Human
Services,
2.4
million
was
allocated
immediately
for
rental,
and
mortgage
assistance
and
7.6
million
was
then
allocated
into
the
2324
budget
adoption
process.
Of
that
77.6
million.
There
were
four
different
purposes.
Just
over
1.5
million
was
added
to
funding
for
our
24
7
enhanced
shelters
to
make
sure
that
those
shelters
received
their
full.
S
Ask
from
the
city
approximately
2.7
million
was
allocated
for
again
additional
funding
for
rental
and
mortgage
assistance,
and
approximately
3
million
that
will
be
speaking
to
this
evening
was
allocated
to
address
other
critical
Human
Services
needs
in
the
community.
There
was
also
a
portion
allocated
for
Staffing,
approximately
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
and,
as
we
discussed
when
we
came
to
you
in
October
federal
dollars,
come
with
a
very
stringent
reporting
requirements
that
require
significant
staff
time
to
make
sure
that
we
Steward
the
dollars
and
support
our
agencies
effectively.
S
So
before
you
this
evening
are
eight
areas
that
were
identified
as
the
most
critical
needs
in
the
2122
Human
Services
needs
update
and
were
verified
with
additional
data
that
we
collected
throughout
last
year.
The
funding
amounts
for
each
of
the
critical
need
areas
are
based
upon
the
amount
of
the
unfunded
requests
that
we
received
in
the
23-24
Human
Services
fund
round.
S
So
you
have
prioritized
making
Human
Services
funding
available
to
a
wide
spectrum
of
agencies
in
our
community
and
to
ensure
that
our
diverse
community
members
can
access
services
from
who
they
know
to
be
trusted
Messengers
and
so
to
advance
that
goal
staff
took
a
number
of
steps.
We
first
met
with
every
agency
that
applied
for
funding
prior
to
their
application
being
submitted.
In
addition,
we
continue
to
meet
with
some
agencies
throughout
their
application
process
and
throughout
the
application
review
process.
S
This
was
especially
supportive
to
agencies
that
were
new
to
our
funding
process
that
haven't
previously
received
Government
funding
to
make
sure
they
knew
what
steps
to
take.
In
addition,
staff
streamline
to
the
application
process
to
try
to
remove
barriers,
and
we
receive
feedback
from
agencies
right
away
that
the
application
was
much
simpler
to
access.
S
Next
I'm
going
to
pass
it
over
to
chair
Mansfield
to
explain
the
vital
role
that
the
commission
plays
in
ensuring
an
equitable
funding
process
before
I.
Do
that
staff
want
to
Express
gratitude
for
the
commitment
of
the
commission
to
engaging
in
yet
another
funding
review
process.
It
required
considerable
time
from
our
commissioners
outside
of
meetings
and
inside
of
meetings.
Thank
you.
So
much.
T
Losing
my
voice
a
little
bit,
I
started
speaking
this
morning
at
6
30.
So
if
I
go
in
and
out,
that's
why
so,
prior
to
the
funding
review
process,
the
city's
diversity
Advantage
team
presented
at
the
commission
on
cultivating
a
culture
of
equity
for
the
commission's
work
by
providing
an
understanding
of
diversity,
Equity
inclusion
and
belonging
within
the
city
of
Bellevue
context.
T
This
included
an
explanation
that
centering
Dei
leads
to
exceptional
public
services
for
all
our
residents
and
creates
a
culture
where
everyone
in
the
city
of
Bellevue
can
realize
their
full
potential
staff
of
continued
discussions.
Each
meeting
with
the
commission
on
creating
a
culture
of
equity
staff
introduced
the
concepts
of
concepts
of
travel,
trauma-informed
care
and
cultural
humidity.
Humility,
trauma-informed
care
is
first
and
foremost
rooted
in
empathy
and
in
humility.
T
The
commission
was
presented
with
data
demonstrating.
There
are
disproportionate
levels
of
need
experienced
by
residents
of
certain
zip
codes
and
marginalized
identities,
including
race.
The
ZIP
code
98007,
is
both
the
most
racially
diverse,
zip
code
in
Bellevue
and
is
home
to
the
highest
percentage
of
households
receiving
basic
Services
basic
food
benefits
or
snap
data
shows
that
racism
is
part
of
the
trauma
that
people
of
color
carry
with
them
locally.
King
County
underscored
this
with
its
pronouncement
that
racism
is
a
Public
Health
crisis.
T
T
T
Behavioral
Health
Services
providers
are
offering
many
of
their
services
where
clients
are
at
a
school
or
in
a
shelter,
International
Community,
Health
Services
and
the
Bellevue
Boys
and
Girls
Club
applied
to
provide

Health
Services
embedded
in
schools,
child
care
agencies,
providing
financial
assistance
to
families
seeking
affordable
child
care
are
struggling
with
capacity
issues.
As
a
result,
only
one
application
was
received
for
child
care.
T
Boys
and
Girls
Club
of
Bellevue
is
addressing
losses
due
to
isolation
during
the
pandemic.
By
focusing
on
the
developmental
well-being
of
Children
and
Youth,
using
academic
and
social
emotional
learning
strategies,
food
insecurities
agencies
providing
food
assistance
have
been
inundated
with
requests
for
assistance
agencies.
Responding
to
this
need
are
doing
so
in
a
variety
of
ways.
The
commission
is
excited
to
recommend
funding
for
a
new
organization
eat
happy.
T
T
The
commission
recognizes
the
importance
of
meeting
residents
basic
needs
as
access
to
items
such
as
feminine
hygiene
products,
deodorant
and
laundry
detergent
relates
to
social
well-being,
feeling
confident
being
susceptible
to
being
bullied
and
being
able
to
show
up
to
work
in
appropriate
attire.
As
a
result,
the
commission's
recommendations
focus
on
applicants
that
are
Distributing
basic
need
supplies,
fostering
well-being
in
the
face
of
racial
and
ethnic
discrimination.
T
T
Supportive
Services
providers
help
families
mitigate
the
developmental
delays
related
to
the
trauma
of
experiencing
homelessness,
established
Eastside
providers
of
day
Center
and
shelter.
Services
are
seeking
to
address
large
operational
deficits.
In
addition,
current
and
new
providers
are
expanding,
hoteling
programs
to
address
the
demand
that
cannot
be
met
by
existing
shelters.
T
In
conclusion,
on
behalf
of
the
commission,
I
want
to
thank
the
city
council
for
its
ongoing
support
of
Human
Services
in
the
city
of
Bellevue.
The
covid-19
pandemic
has
continued
to
create
significant
disruptions
in
many
Bellevue
residents
lives
and
the
city's
investment
is
crucial
to
support
the
community
safety
net
and
to
provide
the
resources
necessary
for
all
of
bellevue's
residents
to
thrive
and
achieve
their
full
potential.
S
Thank
you
by
tonight's
presentation.
The
demand
for
Human
Services
remains
high
in
our
community
and,
as
we
discussed
earlier,
the
council
has
been
highly
responsive
to
the
needs
created
by
the
pandemic
by
making
significant
Investments
as
we've
come
and
presented
recommendations
to
you
throughout
the
pandemic.
The
council
has
expressed
concerns
about
addressing
these
increased
needs
when
pandemic
funding
is
spent.
S
In
response,
our
leadership
approved
the
release
of
an
RFP
for
a
consultant
to
complete
not
only
the
2324
Human
Services
needs
update,
but
also
the
city's
first
human
services
strategic
plan.
As
you
know,
the
Human
Services
needs
update,
provides
a
compilation
of
data
identifying
Human
Services
needs
and
Bellevue
in
the
region.
A
human
services
strategic
plan
will
provide
Direction
on
an
actionable
way
to
address
the
Human
Services
needs
and
gaps
in
Services
through
strategies,
goals
and
actions.
Three
areas
of
focus
I
will
highlight
this
evening.
S
First
being
the
impact
of
funding,
we've
heard
from
you
and
discussions
to
Human
Services
providers,
a
desire
to
understand
the
measurable
impact
of
the
city's
Investments,
a
human
services
strategic
plan
would
provide
a
roadmap
for
tracking
this
impact.
That
would
help
the
story.
City
tell
the
story
of
its
Investments,
while
balancing
the
capacity
and
composition
of
agencies
and
the
disadversity
of
services
that
they
provide
in
their
ability
to
track
data.
S
It
would
also
help
us
to
address
capacity.
During
each
of
the
recent
funding
processes,
we've
received
an
unprecedented
number
of
applications
for
funding
at
unprecedented
levels
of
dollars
as
well.
A
human
services
strategic
plan
would
identify
issues
that
need
to
be
considered
in
light
of
the
growing
need
in
the
community.
For
example,
a
consultant
could
help
us
consider
whether
the
city
of
Bellevue
should
consider
a
more
targeted
and
strategic
approach
for
Human
Services
Investments
to
ensure
meaningful
services
to
address
the
most
critical
need,
and
a
third
area
I'll
highlight
for
this
plan
is
equity.
S
We
have
increasingly
recognized
as
a
view
that
many
community
members
need
assistance
to
thrive
because
of
the
burdens
of
systemic
inequities
and
racism
on
their
lives
and,
in
addition,
the
fact
that
many
human
services
institutions
were
not
created
to
address
the
needs
of
all
diverse
members
of
our
communities.
A
strategic
plan
will
help
us
assess
the
effectiveness
of
the
city's
Human
Services
funding
in
furthering
equity
Outreach.
S
For
this
plan
and
for
the
needs
assessment
will
include
residents,
including
those
who
use
our
Human
Services,
also
Human
Services
providers,
the
Human
Services
Commission
and
input
from
you
as
well.
In
addition,
our
Outreach
efforts
will
be
culturally
responsive,
including
language,
translation
and
interpretation,
to
ensure
that
our
diverse
members
are
included.
We
hope
to
begin
Outreach
in
the
next
one
to
two
months,
with
anticipated
returns
to
council
for
your
vital
input
in
November
and
January
to
seek
input
on
first,
the
Human
Services
needs
update
and
subsequently
the
Strategic
plan.
S
This
plan
would
provide
a
road
map
for
Bellevue
to
increasingly
address
inequity
based
upon
best
practices
and
based
on
the
concerns
we
hear
from
the
community.
It
will
help
the
commission
focus
on
the
most
important
needs
and
meet
council's
policy
Direction,
and
with
that
we
will
conclude,
we
again
are
seeking
direction
to
prepare
a
resolution
approving
the
commission's
recommendations
for
this
approximate
three
million
dollars
of
arpa
funding
and
with
that
mayor,
I'll
turn
it
back
over
to
you
for
questions.
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you.
A
F
You
mayor
Tony
Sparta,
thank
you
for
being
here
tonight
and
thank
you,
chair,
Mansfield,
great
presentation,
really
a
lot.
A
lot
of
great
information
and
I
just
really
want
to
First.
Just
thank
the
tremendous
amount
of
work
that
the
commission
has
been
doing
for
quite
some
time
now
in
terms
of
evaluating
processing,
vital
funds
into
our
into
our
community
and
just
want
to
acknowledge
the
focus
of
the
staff
and
the
commission
to
continue
to
advance
continue
to
improve
our
Equitable
funding
practices.
Tony.
F
F
You
know
a
viable
in
order
to
receive
funds
from
from
from
the
city.
It's
really
just
creating
that
Level
Playing
Field
that
I've
not
heard
any
other
City
doing,
and
it's
it's
truly
an
equitable
practice
and
I'm
just
really
proud
of
the
the
work
that
we've
been
doing
and
and
that
we've
established
these
these
processes.
So
so
this
is
really
important.
Work
and,
and
not
only
that,
but
the
amount
of
additional
work
that
the
commission
has
I
mean.
F
Typically,
we
we
only
meet
twice
a
month,
but
we've
been
having
to
do
additional
rounds
and
additional
research
and
reading
outside
of
that
staff
has
also
kind
of
streamlined
the
process
and
some
ways
as
well
to
make
it
easier
for
Commissioners
to
evaluate
all
the
all
the
applications
that
have
come
in
as
well.
So
that's
so
that's
really
great
to
see
as
well
so
yeah,
because
I
think
we
all
recognize
additional
funds.
The
committee
also
require
additional
time
so
I
want
to
thank
all
the
Commissioners
for
all
of
their
extra
time.
F
F
You
know
they
serve
our
most
vulnerable
in
our
in
our
community
and
they
just
continue
to
get
better
and
stronger
and
more
efficient
in
the
way
that
they're
able
to
serve
serve
those
in
our
community,
and
you
know
the
city
could
not
support
our
residents
without
these
Partnerships,
so
they
are
truly
vital
and
we
treat
them
like
valued.
Partners.
F
I
also
think
that
is
critical
to
us
being
effective,
and
we
continue
to
do
that
and
I've
heard
that
from
multiple
agencies
again,
that's
something
that
they
always
feel
as
valued
as
they
do
here
at
the
city
of
Bellevue.
So
something
else
I'm
very
proud
about,
and
you
know
just
really
excited
to
see
the
additional
arpa
funding.
F
That's
going
out
in
to
the
community
to
address
these
the
these
issues-
and
you
know
these
issues-
are
always
changing
a
little
bit
and
certainly
we're
addressing
issues
that
you
know
we
weren't
addressing
prior
to
the
pandemic.
You
know,
especially
on
the
mental
health
side
with
with
youth,
especially
you
know.
These
are
areas
that
we
are
hyper
focused
on
and,
and
you
know,
we're
we're-
not
really
sure
what
what
that
means
in
the
future
either.
Will
that
continue
to
be
a
critical
need?
Will
it
eventually
get
better?
F
We
certainly
hope
so,
but
the
pandemic
certainly
has
created
new
and
additional
needs
in
our
in
our
community.
So,
but
you
know,
I'm
very
excited
about
the
the
funding
of
new
and
emergency
agencies
that
have
that
have
applied,
including
those
who
are
who
are
trusted
Messengers
in
in
our
community
trusted
Messengers
amongst
our
diverse
Community.
F
That's
also
very
critical,
as
part
of
this,
that
they're
trusted
so
proud
of
our
city
for
the
tremendous
investment
here
that
we've
made
Human
Services
throughout
the
pandemic
and
moving
forward
and
living
our
values
as
a
city
ensuring
that
we're
a
caring
and
resilient
Bellevue.
F
So
again,
just
I
probably
have
overused
the
word
proud,
but
certainly
am
in
in
this
case
and
and
being
the
liaison
to
this
to
this
commission.
So
great
work
and
I'm
in
favor
of
moving
this
resolution
forward
to
approve
the
Human
Services
commission's
recommendation
for
the
2324
arpa
critical,
Human
Services
needs,
and,
lastly,
I
really
appreciate
you
bringing
forward
the
Strategic
plan
as
well.
I
think
we're
really
asking
a
lot
of
good
questions
there.
F
You
know
in
regards
to
you
know
more
of
a
business
term,
the
ROI
of
our
of
our
investment.
Here
you
know
what
is
the
impact?
Is
it
targeted?
Is
it
strategic?
Is
it
going
to
the
to
the
to
the
right
people
at
the
right
time
with
the
right
type
of
service,
and
is
it
Equitable
so
we're
we're
asking
all
the
right
questions
so
I
appreciate
you
touching
on
that
this
evening
as
well.
Thank
you
mayor.
A
Yes,
thank
you,
as
the
former
liaison
to
the
Human
Services
Commission
I'll,
go
next.
Can't
say
enough
about
how
much
we
appreciate
what
the
Human
Service
Commission
did
during
covid
thoughtfully
get
together.
You
were
one
of
the
first
conditions
to
get
together
and
start
getting
the
dollars
out
the
door
as
soon
as
you
could,
and
it
was
very
thoughtfully
done
and
we
really
appreciate
it
and
it
was
very
effective
and
I
look
at
the
data
and
I'm
just
so
proud
of
the
city
for
the
support
that
they
gave
to
the
community.
A
But
I
do
think
it's
time
to
reassess
we're
not
going
to
have
that
same
arpa
dollars
next
time
around,
and
so
it
is
time
to
kind
of
reassess
our
values
and
how
best
we
get
money
out
the
door
and
how
do
we
get
money
in
the
door
too?
So
I'm
going
to
be
very
interested
to
see
what
they
recommend.
A
Wasn't
there
in
the
conversation,
but
I
do
have
to
ask
I
see
that
there's
one
agency
that
got
an
A
large
portion
of
the
funding
more
than
anybody
other
agency,
open
doors
for
Multicultural
families
and
I,
know
they're
located
in
Auburn
and
Redmond
and
I'm
curious
why
they
beat
out
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club
of
Bellevue
for
their
family
and
Community
Resources.
Imagine
housing
for
basic
needs
and
crisis
connections
for
their
211
services
and
it
it
feels
like
you
know.
Maybe
we
should
be
a
little
more
distributive
of
this
money.
S
Sure
I
can
share
a
little
bit
and
then
chair
Mansfield.
If
there's
anything
you
want
to
add
in
feel
free,
so
first
a
little
background
on
open
doors
for
Multicultural
families.
They
do
have
an
office
in
Redmond
at
the
together
Center,
which
is
designed
to
serve
the
entire
East
Side.
They
were
founded
by
an
individual.
S
That
themselves
has
lived
experience
as
an
immigrant
with
a
child
with
an
intellectual
disability
that
had
difficulties,
navigating
the
special
education
system
and
accessing
services
for
their
child,
and
from
that
this
agency
was
born
and
now
serves
regionally
throughout
the
region
to
meet
that
very
specific
need.
That's
an
intersection
of
two
marginalized
identities,
so
those
with
disabilities,
those
who
may
be
immigrants
those
who
may
not
speak
English
as
their
primary
language
that
can
pose
it's
already,
a
difficult
system
to
navigate
if
you're,
a
parent
of
a
child
with
a
disability
or
even
an
adult.
S
If
you
add
in
layers
of
other
barriers
that
you
may
experience,
it
is
increasingly
difficult
to
access
those
resources.
So
that's
just
a
little
bit
of
background.
This
is
the
first
time
that
they
are
expanding.
This
particular
program
onto
the
east
side
and
our
Human
Services
Commission
reviewed
applications
under
a
service
area,
and
that
is
how
they
made
their
recommendations
was
within
the
service
area.
So
I
know
you
mentioned
a
couple
of
other
really
vital
agencies.
S
They
weren't
necessarily
compared
to
the
agencies
within
fostering
well-being,
so
Child
Care
was
considered
on
its
own
basic
needs,
was
considered
on
its
own
I.
Think
the
commission
always
has
a
tremendously
difficult
job
of
figuring
out
how
to
recommend
funding
across
a
really
heavy
demand
of
agencies
and
I'm
I.
Don't
think,
there's
ever
a
right
or
a
wrong
answer.
S
Close
not
to
count
hairs,
but
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club
is
getting
250
000.
So
they
are,
they
are
actually
getting.
A
U
All
right,
thank
you.
Mayor
really
appreciate
the
equity
centered
approach
to
this
I
mean
even
as
I
was
after
I,
read
through
the
agenda
memo
and
looked
through
the
actual
funding.
The
agencies
that
it
just
really
stood
out
to
me
and
I
really
appreciate
that
that
we're
doing
this
not
only
a
word
but
indeed
I,
would
also
say
you
know
many
of
the
orgs
that
organizations
or
agencies
that
are
being
funded
here.
U
You
know
there
are
many
that
do
service
in
our
community,
but
not
all
of
them
have
large
Galas
that
raise
a
lot
of
money
to
pay
for
the
services
that
they
provide,
and
so
the
way
that
I'm
looking
at
this
is
this
is
funding
that
is
going
to
those
agencies
that
provide
culturally
responsive
services
and
typically,
don't
have
the
money
and
are
strapped
often
for
funds
in
order
to
deliver
those
services.
So
just
really
appreciate
the
focus
here
on
equity
and
I,
like
the
idea
of
the
Strategic
plan.
U
So,
looking
forward
to
that
and
I
would
say,
I
know
I've
brought
up
in
the
past
the
wanting
to
understand
the
connection
back
to
the
community
so
excited
to
see
that
and
that's
primarily
because
you
know
at
the
end
of
the
day,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
services
are
getting
delivered
back
to
the
people
who
we
come
to
understand
need
those
Services
through
the
human
needs
assessment.
So
love
it
all.
Thank
you
and
look
forward
to
supporting
the
resolution.
Thank.
C
Thank
you
for
being
on
the
Human
Service
Commission,
the
source
that
I
believe.
In
my
opinion,
the
toughest
commission
anybody
can
ask
to
serve
on
it's
always
more
demand
than
money
available,
so
you're
always
trying
to
juggle
you're,
never
satisfy
you
know.
Everybody
and
I
appreciate
the
me
asking
the
question.
You
know
it's
tough
answer
to
give,
because
you
know
you
give
money
to
somebody.
Somebody
doesn't
have
it,
so
we
are
serving
the
same
kinds.
Same
needs,
I,
hope,
I!
Think,
that's
why
the
Strategic
plan
is
important.
C
It's
important
because
we
just
went
through
a
pandemic
and
different
circumstances,
and
the
federal
government
gave
us
upper
money
and,
like
me,
say
it's
not
going
to
be
here
right,
we're
going
to
really
figure
out
how
to
do
it
right.
One
thing
that
you
know
has
been
a
good
thing
for
the
city.
For
us
with
this
pandemic
is
we're
looking
for
added
capacity,
I
voice
advocated
that
when
we're
looking
at
how
to
help
the
community,
we
don't
want
to
just
keep
the
people
who
are
you
who's
being
helped?
C
They
they
manage
better
because
they
know
how
to
access
money,
but
it's
the
people
who
never
access
the
know
how
to
access
money.
When
you
have
a
hit
like
this
I
mean
they're
desperate,
they
don't
know
where
to
go
so
I
think
it's
very
worthwhile
to
look
at
the
new
capacity
which
is
through
your
Outreach.
That's.
Why
I
appreciate
that,
because
it
goes
throughout
each.
C
That
means
you
have
to
find
different
ways
of
getting
the
right
organizations
right,
people
that
have
never
been
helped
before
I
think
we
have
a
community,
that's
very
diverse
new
immigrants,
so
you
need
to
have
trusted
Messengers.
You
know,
I,
hope
that
this
hour
goes
criteria
you're
looking
at
and
to
determine
how
to
reach
your
people
that
need
so
I
I'm
not
going
to
second
guess
or
question
you,
which
one
is
all
which
one
isn't
because
you're
the
one
that's
been
I
I
was
surprised.
You
only
meet
twice
a
month.
I!
Imagine
my
recollection.
C
Sometimes
you
meet
every
every
month,
maybe
even
more
so
because
it's
just
so
much
to
look
at
so
I
really
appreciate
what
you're
doing
I
have
a
couple
questions.
One
is
child
care,
it's
you
have
more
money
than
needed.
Only
one
applicants,
that's
kind
of
surprising,
because
the
concepts
being
always
talking
about
child
care
is
very
important.
Everything
we
talk
about.
We
need
to
provide
more
child
care,
so
maybe
you
can
say
a
couple
words
about
that.
Is
it
normal
or
is
it
just
aberration,
or
what
do
you
think.
S
T
Well,
one
of
the
things
that
we
are
seeing
more
of
is
that
yes,
Child
Care
is
an
increasing
need,
but
there
is
more
and
more
limited
capacity
in
agencies
to
provide
child
care.
T
C
S
Know
will
definitely
include
the
any
feedback
that
we
hear
on
that
council
member
Lee
and,
as
our
chair
mentioned,
that's
not
just
a
pattern
we're
seeing
with
child
care.
We
are
also
seeing
it
in
a
few
other
critical
areas.
The
deputy
mayor
mentioned
Behavioral
Health
is
a
prominent
need
and
there's
been
a
lot
of
data
come
out
in
the
community
recently
about
how
difficult
it
is
for
people
to
be
trained,
hired
and
retained
as
Behavioral
Health
Providers
as
well.
S
So
there's
a
couple
of
really
high
area
needs
within
the
human
services
system
that
they
are
finding
difficulty
hiring
and
retaining
staff
to
perform
the
critical
work
and
in
fact
we
have
slated
on
an
upcoming
panel
for
the
Human
Services
Commission,
that
very
topic
for
us
to
have
a
variety
of
agencies
come
and
present
to
the
commission
and
we'll
definitely
include
what
we
hear
in
our
strategic
planning
process.
That's.
C
Right
I've
always
been
advocated
so
strongly
that
we
need
to
be
biblical
capacity
instead
of
just
giving
money
away.
Maybe
we
should
take
some
of
the
money
to
really
build
agencies,
people
non-profits
that
can
help
to
reach
out
to
those
Services.
As
you
mentioned,
it's
going
to
keep
we're
not
meeting
them.
If
we
don't
do
anything,
it's
keep
money
to
the
non-profitors
exist,
the
same
old,
same
old
you're,
not
going
to
improve
the
situation,
so
I
think
that's
something
I
really
like
for
you
to
think
about
in
your
strategy.
C
A
A
A
Councilmemberly
council,
member
Zan.
D
Oh
thank
you,
chair
Mansfield,
and
thank
you
very
much
to
the
entire
commission
for
this
tough
work.
I
did
want
to
start
with
the
disclosure
I'm
on
the
board
of
the
Sofia
way,
so
I
think
there's
such
a
small
portion
of
this
but
I
did
want
to
make
sure
I
have
that
disclosure
provided
and
then
I
really
appreciate
you
helping
us
to
understand
the
actions
needed.
So
we
do
the
Human
Services
need
assessment,
but
now
to
have
an
actual
strategic
plan.
D
So
thankful
for
this
work
that
you
do.
You
know
when
I
was
On
The
Board
of
Health.
We
did
declare
racism
as
a
Public
Health
crisis
and
recognizing
that
all
of
the
systems
need
work.
I
want
to
thank
councilmember
Lee
for
bringing
up
the
building
the
capacity,
because,
having
served
on
Boards
of
non-profits
that
are
in
the
homelessness
and
food
insecurity,
standpoint
they're
trying
to
serve
the
community,
but
the
very
people
that
are
actually
trying
to
serve
the
community
are
themselves
also
at
risk.
D
So
how
we
actually
look
at
the
pay
that
we're
able
to
provide
to
those
agencies
that
are
providing
that
service
to
us,
I
think
is
going
to
be
really
important.
So
I
especially
want
to
lift
up,
and
thank
you
for
the
eat,
happy
where
it's
a
it's
a
win-win-win,
where
we're
able
to
Source
food
that
might
go
to
waste
and
serve
the
community
as
well
as
the
essentials.
First,
where
you
know
having
hygiene
kits
that
provide
the
dignity
for
people
to
actually
be
able
to
have
soap
and
shampoo
I
think
is,
is
really
really
important.
D
I
guess
a
couple
things
I
do
want
to
lift
up,
and
that
is
that
what
I
heard
at
the
state
level
is
that
the
we
feed
Washington
fund
is
only
funded
by
one-third.
So,
instead
of
103
million,
they
only
got
35
million
so
to
the
degree
that,
through
our
maybe
Genesis
work
along
with
the
Human
Services
Commission
and
staff,
whether
we
can
do
some
work
to
really
look
at
how
we're
going
to
fill
that
gap
of
the
food
insecurity,
whether
there's
federal
state,
local
funding
that
might
be
available.
D
Are
there
private
funders
that
we
can
tap
on
because
those
400
organizations
Statewide
a
number
of
them-
are
feeding
the
food
insecurity
for
our
community.
So
that
would
be
one
of
my
asks.
The
other
one
that
I
would
ask
too,
is
on
the
arpa
funds.
You
know
the
national
league
of
cities
we
hear
from
are
from
other
about
the
fact
that
we
need
to
tell
our
story,
because
it
was
really
hard
fought
for
us
to
get
direct
funding
to
cities
from
Congress.
D
One
of
the
things
that
we
heard
from
them
is
they
need
to
hear
our
stories
about
how
those
funds,
the
20
million
dollars,
are
making
an
impact
in
our
community,
because
that's
what
it's
going
to
take
to
potentially
have
additional
Federal
funding
dollars
that
come
to
cities
and
I
know
how
much
we
have
served
our
community
and
so
to
be
able
to
tell
our
story
is
going
to
be
even
more
important.
So
I
would
say
that
that
would
be.
A
You
for
for
giving
your
suggestions,
councilmember
Stokes
foreign.
H
Yeah,
this
is
really
I,
think
one
of
the
better
presentations
I've
seen
because
you're
you're
doing
some
new
things
and
all
I
appreciate
that
very
much
and
I
really
acknowledge
all
the
comments
that
my
colleagues
have
made
on
this,
and-
and
this
is
a
this-
is
probably
the
really
toughest
issue
we
face
in
the
city.
In
dealing
with
these
kind
of
things,
I
mean
you
know,
we
can
build
Bridges
and
we
can
do
this.
H
We
can
get
light
rail
all,
but
this
is
this
and
they
just
all
have
their
problems,
but
this
is
the
one
that's
really
hard
to
get
to
and
I
think
the
commission
and
staff
are
doing
a
great
job
in
trying
to
get
to
that.
What
concerns
me
is
looking
at
this
over
year
after
year
and
I
hope
there's
some
changes,
but
the
perennial
thing
is
that
you
know
we
can
never
get.
H
We
never
have
enough
to
meet
the
need
and
every
one
of
these
grants
is
short
of
what
people
ask
for
and
I
know
you
work
with
them
on.
Is
it?
Do
you
really
need
this
or
that?
How
many
of
this
you
need,
or
can
you
do
something
better
and
to
come
back
and
have
to
have
a
resolution
approving
another
three
million
of
funding
which,
fortunately,
we
get
from
arfa
to
fret
to
address
critical
human
needs?
Service
needs.
I.
Think
tells
us
something
about
some
systemic
things.
H
We
need
to
work
on
I,
think
you're,
starting
to
do
that
and
I
think
that
was.
It
was
a
good
line,
a
good
idea
on
that.
But
what
I'm
concerned
with
is
every
year
we
we
always
come
to
this
level
and
we
have
significant
gaps
and
we
have
to
fill
them
and
are
you.
It
sounds
like
you're
starting
to
enter
a
really
working
at
that,
and
what
can
we
do
and
what
can
you
come
back
to
the
councils
and
back
to
staff
and
say
these
are
some
changes
in
the
way
we
do
this
process?
H
This
is
maybe
a
change
in
the
in
the
role
of
the
commission,
because
the
impression
is
the
commission
has
has
a
very
strong
role,
but
there
are
so
much
else
going
on
around
it
that
affect
it,
and
it
must
be
difficult
to
keep
up
with
we're
funding
here.
But
something's
funding
over
here
outside
of
the
commission.
Commission
only
has
a
certain
block
of
things
of
Human
Service
needs
that
are
funded
come
through
it.
H
A
lot
of
funding
goes
in
other
places,
so
I'm
just
I'm,
hoping
that
and
it
sounds
like
you're
making
some
strides
and
and
being
more
more
holistic
in
it,
and
maybe
coming
back
with
a
a
proposal
for
a
different
way
for
the
Human
Services
Commission
to
function
and
and
scope
and
work
how
they
do
it.
I
think
that'd
be
very
helpful.
In
the
meantime,
we
have
to
have
to
deal
with
the
current
needs
and
I'm
hoping
that,
because
this,
this
three
million
is
not
going
to
be
there
every
year.
H
So
I
think
this
is
given
where
we
are
in
this
process
and
all
I
think
you're
just
doing
a
terrific
job
and
I
also
appreciate
the
fact
that
you
are
actually
giving
us
more
insight
and
more
things
to
look
at
and
say
we.
We
need
to
do
better
than
this,
and
we
can
because
we're
talking
about
dealing
with
people
that
you
know
really
need
the
the
help
and
it,
as
everybody
said,
the
pandemic
has
caused
things.
We're
always
changing.
H
The
demographics
have
changed
and
it's
always
complex,
but
the
Human
Services
Commission
is
the
bright
light
of
humanity
and
I'm,
just
hoping
that
we
can
start.
We
can
look
at
this
and
see
if
there
are
better
ways
and
more
a
better
way
to
focus
the
funding
instead
of
having
sometimes
going
off
in
different
directions,
and
so
but
the
need's
always
going
to
be
more
than
we
can
meet.
But
hopefully
we
can
get
a
lot
a
lot
closer
on
that.
H
So,
thank
you
very
much
and
I'm
ready
to
support
this
and
I'm
ready
to
let's
work
on
it
for
next
year.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
Robertson
thank.
V
You
mayor
one
thing
I
know
to
be
true-
is
that
the
council
has
a
lot
of
confidence
and
Trust
in
the
Human
Services
Commission,
you
guys
do
a
great
job
and
we
all
I'm.
We
all
really
appreciate
the
work
yes
I'm
in
favor
of
moving
this
forward.
I
have
a
couple
of
questions
about
that
and
then
I'd
like
to
talk
about
the
Strategic
plan.
V
The
I'm
wondering
I
know
we
talked
a
lot
about
child
care,
and
that
is
a
concern
to
me
and
I
love
the
idea
of
capacity
building
I'm
wondering
if
we
can
do
future
Outreach
to
Providers
to
try
to
I
mean
please
take
our
money,
but
we
want
the
services
for
our
people
right,
I'm
wondering
if
we
have
some
non-profits
that
would
be
willing
to
be
administers
of
a
program
where
we
could
have
public
private
Partnerships.
There's
a
lot
of
very
expensive
child
care
centers
in
Bellevue.
V
If
we
had
a
non-profit
that
could
Reserve
say
five
slots
in
each
one
and
had
funding.
For
that
I
mean
assuming
we
have
the
funding,
we
could
potentially
fund
Child
Care
closer
to
where
people
are
in
the
neighborhoods
using
some
of
those
for-profit
companies,
but
having
slots
be
for
people
in
need
where
the
non-profit
is
paying
via
Bellevue
funds
for
those
slots.
V
I
think
we
should
really
start
to
think
innovatively
about
how
we
might
facilitate
child
care,
because
Child
Care
is
one
of
the
things
that
makes
it
possible
for
families
to
work
jobs,
parents
to
work
jobs
and
and
or
go
to
school
to
better
the
economic
well-being
of
that
family.
So,
let's,
let's
really
maybe
in
the
Strategic
plan,
can
dig
into
that.
V
The
I
had
a
question
about
why
the
subcategory
of
family
homelessness
that
there
was
Zero
funding
granted
in
that
and
that's
on
the
worksheet
or
on
the
spreadsheet.
It
is
on
page
three
fat
focuses
on
families,
experience,
homelessness
or
unstably.
Housed
am
I
looking
at
the
right
one.
Well,
actually
one
of
them
kid
Vantage
was
funded,
but
the
boys
and
girls
club
was
not
an
imagined.
Housing
was
not.
S
Me
one
second
to
get
to
the
right
page.
Thank
you
for
that
great
question,
so
that
is
in
the
basic
needs
category.
Okay.
So
there
is
a
separate
category
that
was
for
homelessness.
This
was
specifically
basic
needs
that
are
things
like
what
have
been
discussed
tonight
like
toiletry
kits
feminine
hygiene
projects,
products
and
so
again,
difficult
for
the
commission
to
decide
where
to
allocate
those
dollars.
They
tried
to
allocate
them
to
places
that
reached
the
entire
community
and
that
provided
specific
items.
So
there
were
a
couple
of
great
agencies
that
applied.
V
Got
it
okay
and
then
youth
mental
help.
I
know
that
there's
lots
of
Behavioral
Health
here
I
think
that
that
is
critically
important.
We've
seen
the
needs
only
growing
for
that
I
am
wondering
because
we
can't
fill
all
the
needs
even
with
this
one-time
money.
Is
there
any
effort
when
people
come
in
with
applications
that
we
can't
necessarily
fill
to
refer
them
to
King
County,
because
King
County
collects
a
lot
of
money
out
of
Bellevue
for
Behavioral
Health,
including
best
starts
for
kids,
some
of
these
youth
programs?
I
V
S
Thank
you
and
yes,
Behavioral
Health
continues
to
be
an
increasing
need,
especially
for
the
Youth
in
our
community,
so
relative
to
your
questions
about
helping
agencies
connect
with
King
County.
This
has
been
an
area
we've
identified
in
collaboration
with
the
intergovernmental
relations
as
well
of
how
we
can
help
agencies
make
those
connections.
So
we
are
doing
a
number
of
things
towards
that
effort.
One
is
when
we
become
aware
of
a
funding
opportunity.
We
maintain
an
extensive
list
of
contacts
for
providers
on
the
east
side,
and
so
we
share
those
notifications
and
rfps
with
them.
S
Two.
We
will
be
monitoring
in
person
every
agency
that
we
contract
with
this
year,
and
so
we
always
monitor
in
two
ways:
one's
called
desk
monitoring
and
one
is
in-person
monitoring
the
pandemic
limited
us
to
desk
monitoring.
Clearly
this
year
we
are
taking
on
in-person
monitoring
for
every
single
agency
to
make
sure
we
have
eyes
on
the
ground
and
see
the
services
that
are,
students
are
providing.
We
have
added
to
our
monitoring
checklist
questions
relative
to
exactly
what
you
have
raised.
Are
you
receiving
any
King
County
funding?
V
Because
yeah
there's
a
lot
of
opportunities
to
cross-pollinate,
yes
to
help
our
residents
via
these
programs
and
and
are
we
capturing
the
behavioral
health
or
ones
that
could
be
eligible
for
1590
funding?
Are
we
capturing
those,
and
also
using
that
list
to
say,
hey,
here's
another
way
to
fund?
V
Yes,
we're
doing
that
great
okay
on
the
Strategic
plan,
I
agree
with
the
mayor
about
looking
at
funding
and
financing
on
looking
at
the
need,
looking
at
Revenue
how
we
raise
money,
how
we
can
also
the
the
whole
pot
of
funding
for
Human
Services,
there's
the
Bellevue,
but
then
we
have
our
different
silos.
We
have
our
1590
bunny
King
County
raises
tax
money
in
Bellevue
for
Human
Services,
that
maybe
we
could
do
that.
There's
there's
there's
the
different
there's
the
Community
Development
block
grants.
V
So
we
have
all
these
silos
and
I
know
that
the
money,
the
different
colors
of
money
it
has
to
be
used
consistent
with
whatever
program
it
is
I
think
it
would
be
really
useful
to
make
sure
that
strategic
plan,
it
maybe
looks
at
all
the
silos
but
looks
at
how
they
overlap
and
how
they
can
work
together.
So
that
so
that,
when
you're
reading
the
Strategic
plan,
you
understand,
where
does
the
money
come
from?
What
is
it
for
and
I
mean
it
would
be
great
if
we
could
break
down
the
silence.
V
I
know
we
can't
because
of
there's
things
like
the
auditor's
office
might
object,
but
the,
but
we
need
to
make
sure
that
people
understand
where
the
money
comes
and
then
I
the
Council,
the
not
you
know
the
Human
Services
Commission
and
the
public,
and
the
providers
understand
where
that
is.
I'd
also
like
to
see
ultimately
come
out
of
a
strategic
plan,
a
dashboard
that
we
could
monitor.
You
know
where's
the
money
going.
V
What's
it
doing
how
effective
it
is,
I
think
that
we're
already
doing
a
lot
of
that
we
really
hold
our
providers
accountable
and
I'm,
really
proud
of
the
city.
For
that
but
being
able
to
see
it
will
be
much
more
helpful
and
I
think
that
it
will
allow
long-term
a
feedback
loop.
That
then,
is
much
more
accessible
to
people,
including
the
Human
Services
Commission.
V
A
Thank
you
for
that
input.
I
will
just
say
that
you've
heard
from
multiple
council
members
about
the
importance
of
child
care.
We
hear
about
it
from
the
community
all
the
time,
and
one
thing
that
would
be
interesting
is
to
look
at
I
know.
There's
a
lot
of
interest
of
people
who
live
in
the
community
becoming
child
care
providers
and
creating
Pathways
for
them
to
get
certified.
A
S
C
Quick
note
because
I
was
yeah,
I'm
interested,
so
much
Sean
you've
been
in
capacity
like
councilmember
Janice
mentioned
some
of
the
new
organizations.
You
know,
if
you
don't
help
them.
If
they
don't
survive
because
they're
gonna
competitive,
they
may
become
the
people
we
need
in
the
future,
so
I
think
I
will
I
know
that
you've
done
quite
a
bit
getting
something
I
would
like
to
have
you
provide
us
who
are
the
new
non-profits,
the
new
capacity
you've
built
during
this
round?
A
D
I
fully
support
s,
but
I
think
I.
Think
colleagues
are
all
speaking
about
the
fact
that
there's
four
million
dollars
of
need
that
we
know
we're
not
funding.
Today
and
I
heard
several
talk
about
I,
think
mayor
as
well
as
councilmember
Robertson
talk
about
the
1590
money.
So,
instead
of
waiting
until
the
Strategic
plan
is
done,
is
there
or
can
we
bring
back
the
discussion
on
the
1590
money?
D
We're
up
to
40
percent
can
be
used
on
for
services
so
that
we
can
take
a
look
at
whether
some
of
the
unfunded
four
million
dollars,
if
you
assess
them
and
find
that
they're
all
legitimate
and
worthy
cost
that
we
can
find
a
way
to
fund
those
without
waiting
for
the
next
full
round.
So
I'd
just
like
to
better
understand,
what's
possible.
S
Sure
absolutely
I
will
provide
some
brief
comments,
but
you
do
have
a
presentation
coming
I
believe
next
week
on
1590.
That
would
help
you
kind
of
see
that
in
its
fullness,
based
on
the
recommendations
that
will
be
coming
that
evening,
one
clarification
I
would
provide
is
that
the
services
portion
of
the
funding
that
the
council
approved
the
framework
for
that
15
by
Statute
is
limited
to
a
few
types
of
services,
and
so
it's
Behavioral
Health
and
housing
related
services.
S
So
it
couldn't
necessarily
step
into
this
full
four
million
dollar
Gap,
even
if
that
is
a
direction
that
the
council
wish
to
go
and
I.
Think
much
like
all
the
other
decisions
we've
talked
about
tonight,
there's
a
lot
of
competing
needs,
and
so
you'll
hear
about
that
next
week,
when
staff
come
and
the
competing
need
of
development
of
affordable
housing,
Supportive
Housing
and
the
costs
that
come
with
that
I
know.
That
was
a
factor
when
Council
adopted
the
current
framework,
so
that
that
will
be
a
hard
question
to
answer
for
sure.
Yeah.
D
I
know
it's
not
easy,
but
thank
you
for
letting
us
know
about
the
1590
discussion.
I
think
it's
all
a
part
of
the
whole
and
as
councilmember
Robertson
talked
about
it's
all
the
different
buckets
of
money
and
all
the
rules,
but
I
think
moving
with
more
urgency
is
what
you're
hearing
from
all
of
us.
Thank.
V
Just
I
was
as
I'm
listening
to
my
colleagues.
Maybe
one
of
the
things
in
this
strategic
plan
we
should
work
on
is
trying
to
get
a
common,
app
I
just
finished
my
last
kid
getting
into
college
and
the
Common
App
is
a
joyful
thing
for
college
applicants
right.
So
if
we
could
do
something
like
that,
where
people
could
apply
once
into
several
different
programs-
and
maybe
we
could
enter
in
an
Ila
with
King
County
and
some
of
the
others
to
have
a
streamlined
app
that
would
make
it
so
much
easier.
S
A
F
A
A
We
have
an
our
second
two
out
of
three
study
session
items:
Mr
Miyaki.
Would
you
like
to
introduce
sure.
I
Thank
you
mayor.
The
next
item
is
an
informational
update
on
the
city's
keep
Bellevue
beautiful
program.
This
evening,
staff
will
share
an
update
on
the
city's
new,
keep
Bellevue
beautiful
program
that
includes
a
volunteer
program
as
well
as
other
program
elements.
Just
by
way
of
background.
The
council
approved
this
program
as
part
of
the
2324
budget
and
also
was
a
council
priority
over
identified
over
many
years.
This
is
an
informational
update,
so
we
aren't
looking
for
any
specific
direction
from
the
council.
W
Thank
you
very
much
city
manager,
Miyaki
good
evening,
mayor
Robinson,
Deputy,
Mayor,
new
in-house
council
members,
pleasure
being
with
you
tonight
and
being
able
to
talk
about
keep
Bellevue
beautiful,
as
our
city
manager
mentioned.
W
This
initiative
is
part
of
the
safe,
clean
and
vibrant
City
initiatives
that
you
Council
pass
this
last
budget
cycle
and
the
reason
we're
calling
it
keep
Bellevue
beautiful
is
because
it
really
is
about
a
partnership
model
with
our
community
focused
on
helping
to
keep
Bellevue
Litter
free,
we're
also
going
to
tackle
abandoned
shopping
carts
and
probably
depending
on
conversation
next
week.
How
we're
doing
dealing
with
graffiti
prevention
and
removal,
tonight's
informational
briefing
is
focused
really
on
the
first
two
topics
focused
on
keeping
Bellevue
Litter
free
and
the
abandoned
shopping
carts.
W
So,
as
we
mentioned
this,
the
presentation
is
for
information
only
and
we
are
going
to
provide
you
with
some
details
about
the
program,
its
elements
and
its
timeline
tonight.
But
I
wanted
to
stress
that
the
purpose
tonight
really
is
to
provide
you
with
our
roadmap
on
how
we're
going
to
join
and
really
fan
the
Flames
of
the
community
momentum
that
is
behind
helping
to
keep
Bellevue
beautiful.
W
So,
as
you
know,
from
our
annual
performance
surveys,
our
residents
agree
or
strongly
agree
that
Bellevue
has
attractive
and
well-maintained
neighborhoods.
It
always
rates
consistently
High
one
of
the
things
that
you
also
know
that
our
community
both
has
holds
us
as
a
high
value
and
will
take
action
to
maintain.
W
Another
Grassroots
effort,
as
mentioned
in
oral
Communications
tonight,
was
Bellevue,
green
and
clean,
which
is
sponsoring
local
efforts
of
the
community
on
their
own
initiative
to
go
out
there
and
pick
up
litter
across
our
community.
City-Wide
I'm
also
really
touched
by
the
comments
tonight,
both
by
the
Bellevue
Chamber,
as
well
as
our
Bellevue
Downtown
Association,
and
our
community
members,
stressing
their
support
of
this
initiative
and
I
just
wanted
to
speak
to
them
and
say
we
will
be
following
up
for
that.
Partnership
and
and
future
engagement
really
is
wonderful.
To
see.
W
E
But
even
with
these
significant
efforts
that
the
city
has
taken
through
the
years,
there
has
been
an
increase
in
requests
for
trash
removal
from
the
year
2020.
To
present,
there
have
been
about
200
requests
for
trash
removal.
Our
efforts
will
be
responsive
to
my
Bellevue
app
submissions
for
trash
removal,
and
we
do
ask
the
public
and
we
will
continue
to
publicize
this.
We
ask
the
public
to
assist
our
efforts
by
reporting
trash
removal
needs
through
the
my
Bellevue
app
as
we
track
the
resident
requests.
E
There
are
hot
spots
and
we
are
noticing
patterns
in
areas
of
highest
needs
that
we
will
prioritize
with
key
Bellevue
beautiful,
and
we
will
continue
to
continue
to
adjust
as
we
hear
from
the
public,
the
implementation,
the
implementation
of
keep
Bellevue
beautiful.
We
began
in
a
phased
approach
this
summer
and
we're
excited
to
launch
phase
one
which
will
begin
our
volunteer.
Cleanup
events.
E
The
first
event
we
have
scheduled
is
for
July
29th
with
a
Saturday
morning,
Cleanup
in
downtown.
We
have
heard
from
the
BDA
and
from
the
chamber
and
are
going
to
be
responding
to
them
and
also
neighborhood
associations
in
downtown
and
throughout
the
city.
We
will
continue
those
conversations
and
coordinating
for
the
years
to
come.
We
are
also
very
appreciative
of
large
corporations
and
very
small
businesses
that
have
reached
out
to
us,
and
we
see
just
great
opportunities
for
Partnerships
and
sponsorship.
E
E
Keep
Bellevue
beautiful
will
provide
very
practical
applications
of
what
residents
are
learning
through
green
and
clean
our
Greener
living
and
provide
opportunities
for
community
service,
and
we
plan
to
cross,
promote
education
and
events
together.
So
folks,
that
volunteer
will
also
find
out
about
ways
that
they
can
learn
and
advocate
for
prevention
of
litter
as
well.
E
Phase
two
of
Cape
Bellevue
beautiful
launch
will
be
this
fall
as
we
plan
to
expand
on
one
day
volunteer
events
to
include
several
high-need
and
highly
visible
signature
streets
throughout
the
city
and
throughout
different
neighborhoods.
These
are
streets
that
shape
resident
and
visit,
First
and
Lasting
Impressions
of
our
community.
These
thoroughfares
reflect
the
hot
spot
and
Tran
and
Transit
stop
requests
that
we
have
received
and
will
allow
residents
to
be
part
of
an
event
in
an
area
of
interest
to
them.
E
This
effort
will
also
allow
us
to
adapt
and
learn
from
our
summer
events
and
build
on
that.
We
plan
to
explore
additional
Partnerships
with
Washington
State
Department
of
Transportation
and
Sound
Transit
for
future
efforts
as
well
phase
three
and
I
do
want
to
emphasize
we're
going
to
be
learning
through
each
of
these.
This
is
a
community
and
volunteer
effort.
E
We're
going
to
be
learning
along
with
our
community,
though
we
have
done
a
lot
of
research
from
peer
communities
and
also
Regional
communities,
but
we're
going
to
adapt
this
to
what
fits
our
residents
and
their
High
interests.
But
the
third
phase
and
ongoing
will
be
an
adopt
a
steep
adopt
a
street
program
in
neighborhoods
that
will
allow
Community
organizations,
neighborhood
associations
and
businesses
to
focus
their
ongoing
volunteer
work
on
their
own
neighborhood
or
a
place
of
high
interest.
E
This
new
volunteer
effort
will
be
reliant
on
community
volunteerism
and
will
be
a
success
through
a
whole
Community
effort,
and
we
know
our
community.
We
know
how
they
will
volunteer
and
how
much
they
care
about
their
neighborhoods,
and
we
are
hearing,
as
I
said,
from
a
number
of
organizations
that
are
very
interested
in
volunteering
and
organizing
so
again,
three
phases.
Looking
at
this
summer,
all
of
these
being
volunteer
efforts
but
volunteer
recruitment,
as
we
do.
The
two
cleanup
events
in
downtown
in
Factoria,
working
on
education
and
Outreach.
E
As
we
begin
signature,
Street
efforts
and
then
working
toward
the
ongoing
opportunities
for
adopt
a
street
campaign
turn
to
Mike,
then
to
discuss
about
shopping
carts.
W
So
a
companion
piece
to
this
has
been
effort
that
really
has
sprung
out
of
the
city
manager's
office
to
launch
a
retrieval
at
removal
and
retrieval
of
abandoned
shopping
carts.
So
the
good
news,
thanks
to
their
efforts,
is
we
established
a
contract
with
a
provider
beginning
this
last
month
in
April,
which
provides
weekly
collection
of
abandoned
shopping
carts.
So
this
really
focus
on
the
abandoned
carts
that
are
found
in
public
right-of-ways,
sidewalks
roadways,
public
Trails
or
city-owned
parks
and
city-owned
property.
W
One
other
thing
to
note
is
that,
although
we've
only
provided
the
service
for
four
weeks,
we
have
already
collected
342
shopping
carts
so
and
we
next
week,
so
we
are
going
to
be
sending
out
a
letter
to
all
of
our
retail
establishments
and
informing
them
on
their
requirements
to
retrieve
their
own
shopping
carts
as
well.
So
this
contract
and
this
effort
is
supplemental
to
local
efforts
and
responsibilities
of
our
retail
providers.
So
they
have
a
responsibility
to
do
that
and
we
want
them
to
live
into
that
responsibility
as
well.
E
E
D
Yes,
thank
you,
I
I
love
this.
We
can
all
show
our
love
for
Bellevue
and
and
I
love.
The
name.
Keep
Bellevue
beautiful
and
welcome
Selena
I,
understand
you're
from
out
of
town,
so
I
hope
that
you
love
our
city
as
much
as
we
do,
and
you
know
if
I
could
do
a
happy
dance
on
the
on
the
diets.
I
would
because
this
is
something
that's
near
and
dear
to
me.
D
I
first
heard
about
it
from
Bellevue,
clean
and
green
back
before
covid
and
I
know
it's
taken
a
while
when
I
brought
it
up
to
the
retreat
in
2021
to
finally
get
this
going
in
with
the
budget
last
year,
but
I
am
just
so
delighted
that
every
one
of
us
are
all
in
to
keep
Bellevue
beautiful
and
the
the
type
of
Engagement
that
we
can
do.
Where
really
Selena
is
like
the
force
of
one.
That's
going
to
be
the
force
multiplier
right.
D
So
I
don't
know
how
many
were
able
to
take
advantage
of
the
byoc
where
there
are
a
number
of
coffee
shops
that
if
you
bring
your
own
cup,
they
were
doing
like
you
get
a
free
cup
of
coffee,
so
we're
trying
to
reduce
the
amount
of
waste
that
goes
in
so
I
just
love
all
the
things
that
this
is
about,
which
is
how
do
we
show
the
pride
in
our
city
by
bringing
the
community
together
and
working
together?
So
I
I?
D
Guess
a
couple
of
things
I
was
going
to
mention,
and
that
is
that
when
we
think
about
the
partnership,
I
know
when
I
was
going
out
with
the
clean
and
green
picking
up
litter
that
the
trash
receptacles,
the
King
County
Metro,
puts
out
there.
They
put
the
strap
in
there
so
that
you
can't
put
big
trash
in,
but
it
keeps
actually
even
small
trash
from
actually
getting
in
the
garbage.
D
Can
so
I
think
there's
a
number
of
those
efforts
that
we
might
need
to
think
about
as
well
as
I
know
that
when
they
do
pick
up
trash,
they
don't
know
where
the
bags
go.
So
the
ability
to
really
actually
pick
up
the
trash
afterwards
I
love
the
calendar
I
wonder
if
we
could
do
that
as
a
dashboard.
An
active
calendar,
helping
Bellevue
cleaning
green
overdue
comes
I,
believe
every
other
Saturday
to
pick
up
litter
so
being
able
to
promote
those
programs
working
with
the
high
schools.
I
think
those
are
all
great
things.
D
Pop-Ups
so
and
I
see
Brad
here
from
visit,
Bellevue
I.
Think.
Actually
you
know.
This
is
one
of
those
where
visitors
coming
into
the
city.
They
can
see
the
kind
of
things
that
we're
doing
to
make
sure
that
Bellevue
continues
to
to
be
beautiful,
not
just
for
our
community
but
for
our
visitors
as
well.
D
And
lastly,
I
would
just
say
that
as
I
think
about
this
work,
maybe
just
like
we
have
a
transportation
B,
we
could
have
a
mascot
for
the
beautiful
Bellevue
Litter
free,
so
I
don't
know
if
we
have
one
of
those,
but
if
we
don't,
maybe
that
would
be
part
of
our
kind
of
logo,
for
the
keep
Bellevue
beautiful
is
that
we
have
a
mascot
just
like
for
our
transportation
department
and
I.
V
Yeah,
this
is
all
good
things.
A
couple
of
comments:
I
the
getting
to
the
phase
where
we
start
getting
people
to
adopt
streets
once
we're
in
that
phase.
I
think
it
would
be
really
nice
to
I
assume
that
we
have
some
sort
of
material
in
our
Economic
Development
Department
that
we
give
to
new
businesses
to
include
something
like
that
in
the
welcome
to
Bellevue
for
our
businesses,
we
also
should
be
pushing
it
out
to
our
nonprofits
Community,
Association,
schools
and
I
know,
for
example,
I've
got
a
high
school
senior.
V
There
are
kids,
luckily
not
my
daughter,
who
are
scrambling
right
now
for
their
community
service
hours.
If
we
can
give
community
service
hours
to
high
school
students
as
part
of
this
to
clean
it
up,
it
can
be
just
an
ongoing
thing.
You
know
you
pick
up
pick
up
litter
log.
Your
time
submit
it.
You
know,
show
us
the
proof
and
we'll
give
you
your
hours.
V
It
might
be
a
way
to
get
people
who
just
need
something
to
do
to
get
those
40
hours
that
they
required
to
graduate
to
really
make
their
neighborhood
more
beautiful,
I.
Really
like
I,
like
the
idea
of
a
mascot
but
I
really
like
I,
also
really
like
the
idea
of
signage
I,
think
that
this
is
worthy
of
having
some
signs
made,
especially
in
the
high
litter
corridors
that
are
keep
Bellevue
beautiful.
Do
not
litter
yeah
I.
Remember
when
I
was
a
kid.
V
There
was
lots
of
littering
going
on
and
we
there
was
a
big
National
push
with
television
AdSense
Etc
to
get
people
to
stop
littering
and
people
stop
littering
and
for
some
reason
in
the
last
decade
or
so
I
think
people
have
forgotten
and
people
have
started
littering
again.
So
you
know
some
sort
of
way
to
push
the
message
out
there,
including
signage
I,
think,
would
be
really
helpful.
V
Working
with
washdot
on
cleaning
up
the
freeway
on
and
off
ramps.
I
know
those
aren't
our
jurisdiction,
but
you
talked
about
making
sure
that
the
corridors
that
are
the
front
doors
or
the
representation
of
Bellevue
a
freeway
off
ramp
into
Bellevue
is
a
rubber.
You
know
is
one
of
those
entrances
into
Bellevue
and
that's
our
front
door
and
when
they're
filled
with
garbage
as
a
lot
of
them
are
it
really
leaves
a
very
poor
impression.
V
I'm
super
excited
about
the
shopping,
cart,
I.
Remember
when
the
council
passed
that
code,
which
calls
them
nuisances.
My
I
have
a
question
and
a
comment
about
the
shopping
carts.
My
question
is:
when
we're
letting
these
retailers
know
that
we
have
their
shopping
carts,
are
we
making
them
do
anything
to
get
them
back
because
it
is
a
nuisance
we
could
find
them
for
allowing
their
shopping
carts
to
go
all
over
and
be
off
their
property,
and
you
know
in
in
wetlands
and
on
sides
of
Roads
Etc.
V
So
that's
a
question
and
my
comment
is:
if,
for
anyone,
that's
ever
grocery
shopped
in
British
Columbia,
a
lot
of
the
retailers
have
their
shopping
carts
in
a
type
of
Corral
kind
of
like
the
smart
cart
and
you
have
to
put
a
I
think
a
looney
which
is
a
dollar
coin
in
to
release
it
and
the
Looney
stays
in
the
shopping
cart,
which
gives
people
a
big
incentive
to
return
their
cart
because
they
need
to
return
their
cart
to
get
that
money
back.
V
If,
if
some
of
the
retailers
here
found
it
more
cost
effective
to
and
to
create
that
sort
of
system,
we
would
probably
not
only
have
fewer
carts
go
missing,
but
you
might
have
some
good
citizens
who
want
to
get
the
money
out
of
the
cart,
retrieving
them
and
putting
them
back
for
us
so
and
I
know
they
have
a
system
where,
if
you're
a
regular
Shopper
there
they'd
give
you
a
basically
a
slug.
That's
attached
to
your
keys
that
you
can
use
for
that.
V
But
it
really
helps
reduce
a
lot
of
the
shopping
carts
going
going
crazy
up
in
the
Vancouver
Washington,
a
Vancouver,
British,
Columbia
area.
So
what
are
we
doing?
Are
we?
Are
we
getting
them
to
buy
in
or
pay
us
or
agree
to
something
under
the
chapter?
910
Bellevue
city
code
shopping,
cart,
nuisance
to
get
their
cards
back
and
two
are
we
educating
the
retailers
to
help
them
help
us
help
them
keep
them
from
going
straight.
W
Thank
you.
Those
are
great
suggestions
and
great
comments
in
answer
to
your
question
on
the
shopping
carts.
At
this
point,
are
we
doing
Outreach
and
education
to
the
retailers
about
what
their
responsibilities
is
and
informing
them
of
our
code?
Absolutely
and
that's
part
of
the
Outreach
average
that
even
next
week,
we'll
we'll
roll
out
to
the
retailers
in
terms
of
whether
or
not
they're,
currently
paying
fines
on
what
we're
returning
the
answer
to
that
is
no
right.
W
Now
we
are
just
returning
the
carts
as
a
courtesy
to
them,
but
we
are
tracking
who
we're
returning
them
to
and
how
many,
and
that
will
inform
future
decisions,
as
this
program
rolls
forward
for
sure.
Well,.
V
If
we
want
them
to
take
some
responsibility,
I
know
the
cards
are
expensive,
so
they
don't
want
them
to
go
astray.
But
if
we
want
them
to
take
some
responsibility
for
solving
the
problem,
we
need
to
give
them
some
incentive
and
if
we
just
return
them
at
taxpayer,
cost
with
no
requirement
for
them
to
step
up
and
do
better
I.
Don't
think
that
that's
going
to
give
them
much
incentive
to
step
up
in
Dove
ever
so.
A
V
U
I
appreciate
the
the
briefing
I
volunteered
years
ago
with
adopted
Street
work,
and
one
of
the
things
I
remember
is
not
in
addition
to
picking
up
trash
was
just
the
experience
of
doing
that
with
people
as
a
community
effort.
So.
M
U
About
that
program
you
know
I
guess
I
would
say:
I
was
for
the
past
couple
years,
been
bringing
up
snow
removal
on
sidewalks
and
I'm
curious
if,
as
this
expands
over
time,
if
we
could
include
because
I
I
think
this
covers
summer
spring
fall
and
winter
when
it's
not
snowing
and
there
could
still
be
volunteer
efforts
to
help
with
clearing
sidewalks
at
Key
bus
stations
or
like
Rail
stations,
or
what
have
you
where
some
many
of
our
essential
workers
will
need
to
take
public
transit
to
get
to
work,
including
our
retail
workers
right
and
so
I
was
curious.
U
There's
all
the
talk
about
AI
and
machine
learning
and
I.
You
know
I
think
at
some
point
we're
going
to
get
to
self-returning
carts,
but
in
the
meantime,
but
in
the
meantime
you
know
I
wonder
if
so
there
are
some
anti-theft
parts
today
that
Outlet
retail
outlets
or
what
have
you
could
use
and
I'm
curious.
If
that's
something
we
could
promote.
U
E
How
about
if
I
do
snow
and
you
do
AI?
Okay
as
far
as
snow
removal,
will
continue
to
encourage
folks
to
volunteer
and
help
their
neighbors
and
we'll
look
into
that
as
a
possibility
with
this
program
as
well,
we
do
have
a
number
of
seniors,
particularly
that's
a
and
and
folks
that
use
wheelchairs,
that's
a
very
significant
portion
of
their
life.
So,
however,
that
gets
solved.
We
will
continue
to
push
that
forward
as
a
lived
experience
for
folks.
Thank
you.
W
One
of
the
things
I
I
took
down
your
comment
in
terms
of
educational
materials
to
provide
to
retailers
in
terms
of
the
anti-theft
carts
that
are
available,
and
we
can
work
that
to
include
that
into
our
materials
in
terms
of
the
AI
features
of
the
carts.
I.
Think
we'll
wait
and
see.
I
assume
they'll
be
telling
us
all
what
to
do
and
where.
A
To
go
okay,
great!
Thank
you,
deputy
mayor.
H
Yeah
I
think
this
is
really
great
idea
and
really
applaud
a
strong
framework
to
keep
the
city
being
a
beautiful
place
to
live
and
applaud
the
city's
efforts
to
keep
the
community
alert
and
helping
also
helping
our
citizens,
who
need
help
to
be
in
a
beautiful
city
and
get
involved
in
this
I.
Think
it's
a
lot
of
things
we
can
do
with
that.
I
think
I,
look!
Look
at
the
bigger
picture
we've
talked
about,
we've
had
hints
of
things
down
the
line.
The
plan
right
now
is
really
great.
H
It's
kind
of
a
cream,
Clean,
safe
and
and
compassionate
and
the
last
Parts
we'll
be
working
on,
but
it's
just
a
great
idea
and
I
think
people
it'll
get
a
lot
more.
People
engaged
helping
get
a
lot
of
kids
engaged
for
them.
We've
seen
these
recently
about
kids,
running
up
the
doors
and
banging
on
the
doors
and
I
think
they're
just
bored,
and
they
even
get
them
out
there
doing
something.
That'll
be
more
active
I'm.
All
for
this
and
I
think
it's
a
great
idea.
H
I
think
we
can
take
this
and
and
over
the
years,
Bill
listened
to
something
that
really
gets
the
complete
Community
understanding
and
one
of
the
things
that
makes
Bellevue
beautiful
is
because
people
of
all
aspects
can
live
here
and
enjoy
it,
and
that's
the
I
think
the.
If
we
reach
that
goal
we
really
have
hit.
You
know
the
gold
standard.
C
Thank
you,
madam
Mia
I
swear
we'll
know,
Bellevue,
it's
a
great
place
for
people
to
come
to
live
people
come
here
because
it's
a
nice
place.
It's
clean
but
safe
of
all
other
reasons,
and
so
it's
you
know.
Everybody
knows
that
everybody
wants
to
do
that.
Everybody
has.
You
know
the
message,
but
I
think
the
city
has
a
big
role
in
this.
C
It's
about
time
that
we
actually
have
a
program.
We
can
tell
everybody,
you
know
how
great
spell
we
is.
You
know
how
wonderful
we
are,
but
this
this
is
the
kind
of
thing
we
have
to
depend
on
individuals.
You
know
people
have
to
to
want
to
do
it.
People
need
to
be
motivated
people,
but
they
people
are
motivated,
but
not
bad
enough
that
they
would
just
go
ahead.
C
You
know
city
has
to
be
the
leader,
so
you
have
to
provide
it
example
to
make
it
easy
to
make
it
you
know
possible
for
them
to
do
it.
C
So,
like
all
the
ideas
everybody
has
been
given
to
you,
I
mean
I'm
I,
believe
that
you
have
a
lot
more
ideas
than
we
do
so
I'm
not
going
to
spend
the
next
five
hours
talking
to
you
about
how
to
do
it,
but
I
believe
that
we
need
to
provide
those
important
actions
working
with
the
community
associations
working
with
neighborhoods
working
with
schools
working
with
kids
education,
all
that
is
part
of
it,
but
we
have
to
make
sure
that
we
give
people
the
opportunity
and,
like
you
guys,
have
been
doing
you
know
I
appreciate
you
working
with
neighborhoods
talking
to
folks.
C
But
again,
talking
is
not
good
enough.
You
have
to
say
well,
providing
you
with
the
tools
providing
you
with
receptacles
to
providing
with
events.
You
know,
I
think
everybody
would
be
happy
to
deal
with
those
things
as
long
as
they
think
that
we
are
supporting
it.
We're
encouraging
we're
behind.
So
thank
you
for
doing
it.
Let's
try
things
the
right
time
after
pandemic
people,
the
timing
is
right.
People
want
to
actually
be
doing
something
outdoor,
perhaps
or
doing
things
that
they
normally
would
not
do
so.
A
You
great
thank
you,
I'll
just
be
quick.
You
know
thank
you
for
the
presentation
and
Mike
I
just
really
appreciated
you
talking
about
the
community
input
into
this
initiative,
and
you
talked
about
the
high
school
students
that
was
Ellie
Johnson,
who
was
a
sophomore
at
Bellevue,
High
School,
who
created
a
one
bag
a
day,
garbage
pickup
program
that
she
did
I
for
at
least
a
year,
if
not
two,
every
single
day,
all
over
Bellevue
with
some
of
her
friends
and
some
of
us
all
joined
in
including
our
Police
Department
one
day.
A
So
it's
just
great
to
be
a
community
activated
and
obviously
we're
going
to
have
Partnerships
going
forward
with
this
and
so
Partnerships
with
our
Community
Partnerships,
with
our
our
employers
and
our
our
grocery
stores
for
the
cart
pickup.
So
I'm
I'm
excited
to
see
what
your
recommendation
is
coming
back
to
us
but
appreciate
you
moving
this
forward.
D
Yes,
okay,
because
I
was
just
looking
at
the
timeline
and
maybe
I
didn't
pick
it
up.
The
first
time
it
says
adopt
the
street
campaign
starts
in
phase
three,
but
what
I
wanted
to
understand
is
I
know
that
Bellevue,
clean
and
green
has
already
reached
out
to
Washington
and
is
actually
working
on
people
filling
out
a
form
to
adopt
interchanges
and
doing
training
and
doing
pop-ups
already
for
adopt
a
street.
D
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that,
as
you
are,
you
know
ramping
up
that
I
think
some
in
the
community
are
a
little
ahead
of
us,
and
so
you
know
being
able
to
incorporate
the
work
that
they're
already
doing
and
using
like
the
the
literacy
app
where
you
actually
get
to
take
photos
and
note
the
trash
so
that
it
gets
counted.
So
maybe
that's
a
question
yeah,
so
maybe
that's.
My
question
is
like
the
how
that
timing
gets
Blended
in.
W
F
E
E
There
are
things
around
what
the
city
does
with
legalities
and
that
sort
of
thing
that
we're
working
through
waivers
and
safe
routes
and
that
sort
of
thing
that
from
a
very
informal
standpoint
or
different
than
what
the
city
needs
to
require,
but
we're
in
touch
with
Steve
and
other
folks
and
look
forward
to
informally
and
encouraging.
As
best
we
can
great.
W
I
Thank
you
mayor
and
council
members.
The
last
study
session
topic
for
you
this
evening
is
an
update
on
the
city's
tourism
promotion
area.
Just
by
way
background
in
February
Council
approved
an
ordinance
establishing
about
the
Redmond
tourism
promotion
area.
Since
then,
staff
have
worked
to
satisfy
the
requirements
of
the
analytical
agreement
and
an
establishment
of
the
ordinance
after
the
update
staff
are
looking
for
Council
direction
to
return
at
a
future
meeting
with
an
ordinance
establishing
the
TPA
Advisory
Board
as
to
as
to
create
two
new
chapters
in
the
Bellevue
code.
I
X
Thank
you,
city
manager,
Miyaki
good
evening,
mayor
members
of
council
opportunities
for
tourism
seem
bright
this
year
with
Airlines
predicting
record
travel
with
the
city
preparing
with
Bellevue
preparing
to
welcome
the
intercon
Intercontinental
Hotel
and
a
trio
of
Chef
driven
restaurants
with
our
bigger
and
Bolder
Bellwether,
and
with
the
city's
first
dedicated
Pride
events.
This
June.
X
We
are
very
excited
to
be
here
talking
about
what,
hopefully,
are
the
last
elements
setting
up
the
tourism
promotion
area
before
we
come
back
to
you
later
this
year,
but
talking
about
operations
of
the
tourism
promotion
area.
So
just
wanted
to
give
those
comments
and
and
thank
our
industry
partners
and
visit
Bellevue
for
helping
us
and
supporting
us
and
creating
this
tourism
promotion
area
that
will
help
Market
all
of
these
great
new
opportunities
here
in
Bellevue
to
the
world.
With
that
I'll
hand
it
off
to
Lori.
Y
Y
So
TPA
is
a
way
to
generate
revenues
for
tours
of
promotion
in
our
city
and
here
in
King
County.
It
requires
two
municipalities
working
together.
We're
excited
to
be
moving
forward
with
this
work
with
our
partner
municipality
in
the
City
of
Redmond
and
in
jul
in
January
of
this
year,
Council
approved
an
interlocal
agreement
with
the
City
of
Redmond,
which
helps
form
a
lot
of
the
basis
for
what
we're
talking
about
today,
part
of
that
interlocal
agreement.
Y
It
calls
for
the
the
creation
of
an
Advisory
board
that
can
help
to
create
annual
budgets
and
strategic
plans
for
use
of
TPA
funds,
and
this
presentation
is
mostly
about
that
board
before
I
get
too
much
into
the
specifics
of
the
board.
Just
a
quick
reminder
of
how
important
tourism
is
to
our
economy
overnight,
visitors
to
Bellevue
spend
about
2.4
to
2.2
times
this
amount
of
their
stay
at
their
hotel
room
stay
in
the
economy.
Y
Y
Funds
from
the
TPA
in
its
first
year
are
expected
to
create
3.5
million
dollars
to
help
create
more
tourism
promotion
so
that
those
funds
can
snowball
in
future
years
to
get
those
funds
out
into
the
community
where
they
can
make
impacts.
We
need
to
establish
the
TPA
Advisory
Board,
including
in
your
packet
tonight,
is
the
full
draft
ordinance
to
establish
that
board
and
the
corresponding
fund.
The
proposed
ordinance
is
consistent
with
state
law,
with
the
interlocal
agreement
between
Bellevue
and
Redmond,
and
is
in
the
line
with
the
petitions
that
are
submitted
by
our
stakeholders.
Y
It
uses
existing
best
practices
and
is
consistent
with
code
governing
other
Bellevue
boards
and
commissions.
This
ordinance
will
give
ample
guidance
to
The
Advisory
board
on
the
functioning
of
the
board,
including
membership
turn
limits,
powers
and
duties
and
limitations,
so
that
Bond
members
can
hit
the
ground
running
once
they
are
appointed.
It
also
outlines
how
to
conduct
their
business
of
the
board
in
a
consistent
way
as
they
prepare
to
advise
counsel.
Y
Some
key
points
of
the
ordinance
include
that
board
membership
will
be
comprised
of
Representatives
of
eligible
ratepayers
and
equal
membership
from
the
Bellevue
and
Redmond
zones,
as
currently
written
members
can
have
a
maximum
of
two
consecutive
terms
at
four
years
per
term.
This
is
similar
to
other
boards,
but
is
at
the
discretion
of
council.
Y
Y
After
that,
we
will
see
a
contract
from
actually
probably
right
after
that,
I
wouldn't
see
a
contract
for
Department
of
Revenue
for
fund
collection
and
then
we'll
have
appointments
to
the
board
and
we
are
on
track
for
fun
collection.
Beginning
July
1.
see
those
dates
here
in
another
way.
A
F
You
great
presentation
thanks
so
much
no
questions
I'm
ready
to
move
this
forward,
but
I
really
appreciate
all
the
hard
work
you've
done
to
bring
it
to
this
point.
I
can't
wait
to
start
collecting
those
those
dues
in
in
July
and
I
know
that
this
will
be
a
great
group
that
will
really
drive
further
tourism
in
this
region.
So
again,
thank
you
so
much
for
all
the
effort
and
the
due
diligence
on
this
and
for
moving
this
forward
so
quickly.
Thank
you.
Y
So
the
tourism
board
would
give
us
an
annual
budget
and
a
strategic
plan,
but
the
day-to-day
Administration
will
be
contracted
out
to
destination
marketing
organization,
most
likely
visit,
Bellevue
or
run
Redmond.
Other
organizations
could
apply
as
well,
so
the
day-to-day
would
probably
still
be
our
destination
marketing
organizations
going
out
and
doing
that
cultivation
and
that
hand
holding
that
recruitment.
The
board
does
give
us
a
place
as
a
city
to
help
put
into
big
buckets.
How
we
want
that
tourism
promotion
to
be
spent.
C
I
like
to
follow
up
with
mayor's
question
for
you,
I
believe
that
they
will
generate
you
know
more
business,
better
economy.
But
how
do
we
measure
how
much
is
generally
separately
from
what
mayor
is
referring
to?
You
know
the
expected
normal
activities,
such
as
the
marathon
and
other
nominal
events,
so
that
we
know
how
you
know
the
spa
day
would
be
adding
into
the
economy
yeah.
Y
That's
actually
a
really
good
question.
I
think
that's
a
good
drill
down,
there's
incredible
data
that
we
keep
through
visit,
Bellevue
on
weekly
occupancy
rates
nightly
stay
rate
or
nightly
the
rates
that
it
costs
to
stay
in
our
hotel
rooms,
how
much
capacity
we're
actually
filling.
So
we
have
X
number
of
hotel
rooms,
some
weekends,
we're
filling
sixty
percent
of
those
hotel
rooms,
some
weekends
were
spending
or
filling
30
percent,
so
there's
a
gap
in
how
much
capacity
have
and
how
much
we're
filling
we'll
be
able
to
see,
as
this
program
goes
through.
C
I
suppose
this
program,
but
this
might
be
a
consideration
when
you
start,
you
know
moving
forward
that
you
can
differentiate
at
least
as
best
as
you
can.
You
know
the
additional
help
and
there's
an
effect.
You
know
based
on
what
you
do
nothing
better
to
keep
track
and
keep
everybody
motivated,
say:
hey.
We
all
got
to
be
doing
better,
so
I
I
suppose
this.
If
you
know,
thank
you.
If
you
need
a
motion.
A
Not
yet
okay,
we'll
get
there.
Council
member
Barksdale.
U
Thank
you,
mayor
I
support
this
one
question
on
appointments.
Is
there
any
criteria
currently
like
that
we're
using
to
determine
appointments?
Yes,.
Y
So
pointies
to
The,
Advisory
Board
will
have
to
be
from
eligible
rate
payers,
so
the
hotel
owners
general
managers,
operational
managers
of
that
like.
U
Okay
and
excuse
me
any
sort
of
in
terms
of
like
representation
from
A
diversity
perspective.
Are
we
also
looking
at
ways
to
promote
that.
Y
X
A
good
question,
though
I,
would
add
customer
Barksdale
that
the
current
makeup
of
the
general
managers
and
the
operations
leads
at
the
different
hotels
do
represent
a
nice
diversity.
It's
actually
we've
seen
the
the
folks
in
those
roles
diversify
significantly
over
the
last
the
last
five
or
six
years,
so
that
may
occur
naturally,
and
we
can
always
look
at
ways
to
encourage
board
development.
Yeah.
U
And
then
also
the
last
question
in
terms
of
size,
so
I
imagine
a
mix
of
larger
and
smaller
organizations.
Yeah.
U
A
H
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
the
councilmember
Lee
mentioned,
I
think
is
a
good
question
on
that
and
I
think
my
answer,
and
just
want
to
see
if
this
is
on
track,
is
having
a
board
like
this
and
putting
it
together
with
people
from
different
aspects
of
the
community
of
you
know
the
of
the
groups
that
would
be
coming
here
and
and
people
who
know
how
to
handle
these
things
and
that's
their
job
is
supposed
to
having
City
staff
and
people
coming
in
from
time
to
time
working
on
it
same
thing
with
with
the
Human
Services
Commission,
we
don't
have
the
Human
Services
people
coming
in
and
making
you
know
doing
that
work.
H
We
have
a.
We
have
a
committee
and
same
thing
with
a
lot
of
things.
We
do
so
it's
it's
that
getting
more
expertise,
getting
more
depth,
getting
more
just
upping
the
game
on
it,
and
then
the
staff
can
be
much
more,
probably
more
effective
in
that
working
with
that.
So
it
gives
you
a
lot
more
information
and,
and
how
to
do
it
so
I
think
that's
the
answer
and
I
think
that
you
know
my
colleague
was
thinking
about
that.
How
does
it?
How
does
this
in
really
raise
the
bar
on
this
thing?
H
So
I
think
it
sounds
like
what
I've
read.
It's
really
a
great
team
you've
put
together
and
a
good
way
to
to
move
this
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
it
and
we're
on
this
coming
out
of
this
pandemic,
and
things
are
changing.
I
think
we're
on
a
on
the
upward
slope
on
that
and
having
this
in
place
now
is
much
better
than
having
in
place
sometime
later.
So
sooner
we
can
get
going
on,
I
think
the
better.
V
Yeah,
just
a
couple
questions,
or
maybe
one
common
one
question
I-
see
that
the
terms
on
the
first
of
all
I
support
this
I,
like
council
member
Stokes,
would
be
happy
to
pass
this
tonight.
V
I
know
it's
going
to
come
back,
I'm
happy
for
it
to
come
back
on
consent,
I've
read
everything
so
and
it
all
looks
good
one
thing
that
I
had
a
question
on
the
initial
appointments
of
The
Advisory,
Board
I
know
the
terms
need
to
be
staggered
so
that
they
don't
all
go
off
at
once,
but
when
you
first
set
up
a
board,
usually
some
have
to
be
two
years.
Some
have
to
be
four
years.
I
didn't
see
that
in
the
ordinance.
V
Y
V
You
can
either
start
like
the
start,
some
six
year
terms
or
start
some
two-year
terms,
but
you'd
have
to
have
different
terms
now
it
might
happen
naturally,
but
if
we
want
to
stagger
them
anyway,
that's
just
a
comment:
that's
just
the
only
thing
I
saw
that
wasn't
addressed
and
then
Jesse
since
I'm
I
know
you're
in
the
room.
V
When
I
commented
about
how
we
need
to
let
our
our
businesses
knows
about
to
keep
Bellevue
beautiful,
it
seems
like
there
would
be
a
really
nice
dovetail
between
this
and
our
visit
Bellevue
and
making
sure
that
the
city
is
clean
and
beautiful.
So
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
cross
Market
within
our
different
organizations
once
this
one's
set
up.
So
just.
D
On
yes,
thank
you
I'm
excited
about
this
one
as
well.
Maybe
a
happy
dance
for
this.
One
too
I
was
just
thinking
of
so
I'm
ready
to
vote,
because
I
think
when
I
was
on
the
Bellevue
Convention
Center
Authority
back
in
2020.
We
were
working
on
this
and
thinking
that
it
was
going
to
roll
out
soon
and
so
I'm
just
really
excited
to
see
this
going.
D
I
have
one
that
I'd
like
to
get
a
reminder
of
which
is
I
know.
You
talked
about
the
year-to-date
economic
impact
of
the
1.8
million
tourists,
so
in
terms
of
the
recovery
of
the
tourism
industry,
what
can
we
expect
and-
and
where
are
we
in
terms
of
the
recovery
I-
was
paying
a
lot
more
attention
when
I
was
the
liaison,
so
wondered
if
you
could
remind
me
of
that,
how
far
back
we're
in
the
recovery
and
then
on
the
Strategic
plan
by
July,
30th
I
I
just
wanted
to
understand
so
is
the
Strategic
plan.
D
Then
the
destination
development
plan
final
report
from
2017,
because
we're
not
going
to
have
our
advisory.
You
know
Council
or
board
on
board.
Yet
until
we
start
this
rollout,
so
I
just
wanted
to
understand
what
that
looks
like
and
then
I
also
just
wanted
to
get
a
sense
for,
since
this
is
based
on
room
nights,
and
we
were
I
remember
at
the
time
prad
that
we
were
talking
about
the
fact
that
a
lot
of
the
vacancies
came
from
actually
weekends
and
so
how
we
actually
build
more
tourism.
D
Y
So
I'll
start
with
the
weekend
from
nights.
It's
one
of
the
key
things
that
a
TPA
can
really
help
us
with.
Currently
in
Bellevue,
our
hotels
are
Fuller
during
the
week
with
our
corporate
clients
and
they
go
down.
Our
occupancy
goes
down
at
the
weekend,
but
a
lot
of
TPA
funds
can
be
used
on
arts
and
culture
events.
They
can
be
used
on
community
things
that
draw
folks
for
that
leisure
travel
or
encourage
folks
to
stay
lengthen,
their
corporate
stay
to
get
that
leisure
travel.
Y
So
this
is
one
of
those
places
where
we're
really
looking
to
funnel
money
into
weekends.
Shoulder
Seasons
visit
Bellevue
has
set
up
a
really
lovely
event
incubation
program
right
now,
so
some
of
our
current
organizations
I
know
tasveer
our
South
Asian
film
festival.
They
are
looking
to
build
a
film
Summit.
This
fall
right
in
our
shoulder
season
of
October,
where
they
would
have
an
Extended,
Stay
they'd
have
more
hotel
rooms
and
that
type
of
thing
where
we
can
now
have
a
a
pool
of
funds
to
help
encourage
them
and
get
that
stuff
done.
Y
It's
exactly
what
we're
looking
for
for
the
1.4
million
visitors.
That
is
a
2022
number,
so
that
was
all
of
2022
and
then
I
think
you
had
a
question
around
the
destination
development
plan,
and
that
is
something
that
is
in
the
process
of
starting
to
get
updated.
So
we're
going
to
see
a
new
destination
of
a
development
plan
here
in
a
couple
years.
D
Okay,
that
would
be
great
because
I
noticed
the
the
current
one
still
talks
about
expansion
of
Maiden,
Bower
and
developing
a
headquarters
hotel
and
not
quite
sure
what
the
current
economic
climate,
whether
that's
going
to
be
much
more
of
a
slow
walk
and
so
better
understanding
how
we
really
Target
the
post-covid,
tourism
and
and
Convention
space.
My
question
on
the
tourism
was
the
the
the
1.8
million.
Is
that
what
we're
expecting
in
the
recovery?
Or
are
we
still
like
90
in
recovery
or
what
was
what's
that.
Y
Thank
you
for
rephrasing,
so
we're
doing
quite.
Y
Terms
of
recovery
on
our
hotel
rooms-
we're
not
quite
at
2029
numbers
but
or
2019
numbers,
but
really
really
close.
This
is
a
place
where
Brad
has
a
really
lovely
like
coveted
recovery
dashboard.
It's
got
like
red
lights
and
green
lights
and
yellow
lights
and
we're
almost
entirely
at
our
green
lights.
So.
A
You
very
much
thanks.
Okay,
great
so
did
you
want
to
say
anything
Jesse.
A
Okay,
thank
you
Lori,
so
I
want
to
just
know
with
the
head
nod:
do
people
feel
comfortable
bringing
this
back
under
consent?
Okay,
we
want
to
go
ahead
and
make
a
motion.
