A
Welcome
to
the
regular
bellevue
city
council
meeting
for
march
28
2022
city
clerk.
Before
we
do
the
roll
call,
I
want
to
tell
everybody
that
council
member
robertson
has
asked
for
an
ex
what
is
it
excusal,
not
refusable
excusal
from
tonight's
meeting,
and
so
that's
the
first
thing
that
I
guess
we'll
vote
on.
Should
we
do
roll
call?
First,
though,.
A
Let's
go
ahead
and
just
do
a
motion
to
excuse
councilmember,
robertson.
A
All
those
in
favor
say
I
I
I
opposed.
Thank
you.
Okay,
she
is
excused.
Okay,
go
ahead,
city
clerk.
Let's
do
the
roll
call.

Additional
barriers,
such
as
language,
immigration,
status,
gender
bias
and
systematic
racism
contribute
further
to
the
silencing
of
victims
and
whereas
negative
impacts
of
sexual
violence
trauma
on
adults.
Youth
and
children
include
fear
concern
for
safety,
physical
and
mental
health
conditions,
including
symptoms
of
post-traumatic
stress
disorder,
injury
and
mis-work
or
school,
and
whereas
king
county
is
home
to
many
organizations
that
provide
culturally
and
linguistically
specific
services
for
survivors
of
sexual
assault.
A
B
Yes,
thank
you
mayor.
There
are
nine
pre-registered
speakers
this
evening
for
oral
communications
and
the
first
three
speakers
have
a
powerpoint
presentation
in
combination
with
one
another.
Therefore,
we
will
not
be
able
to
share
the
three
minute
timer.
I
will
track
each
of
the
speakers
three
minutes
separately
and
let
you
know
when
you
have
reached
the
end
of
your
three
minute
period.

We
need
more
housing,
including
more
diverse
housing
options,
and
we
are
confident
that
increased
density
does
not
need
to
come
at
the
expense
of
our
tree.
Canopy
surrounding
cities
have
successfully
implemented
policies
to
allow
for
growth,
while
retaining
trees
in
bellevue
developers
are
often
removing
all
trees
from
lots,
even
when
they
are
not
in
the
way
of
the
planned
home.
G
H
H
When
my
wife
and
I
moved
to
lake
hills
in
2012,
it
became
apparent
that
this
neighborhood
of
small
post-war
starter
homes
was
rapidly
being
developed,
and
one
of
the
warmest
urban
hot
spots
in
the
city
was
swiftly
losing
what
little
tree
canopy
remained
simply
to
maximize
the
footprint
of
new
construction.
On
these
smaller
lots
as
wildfire
smoke
and
record
high
summer
temperatures
become
our
new,
normal,
preserving
and
enhancing
existing
tree.
Canopy
is
the
least
expensive
way
to
cool
our
growing
city
next
slide.
Please.
H
On
the
other
end
of
the
spectrum,
some
tree
codes
are
extremely
lacks,
are
poorly
enforced
or
especially
limited
weak
tree
codes
result
in
lots
being
completely
cleared
of
most,
if
not
all,
of
the
trees.
However,
there
is
a
middle
ground
and
bellevue
should
seek
to
find
a
balance
that
between
development
and
maintaining
our
existing
tree
canopy.
H
Our
report
advocates
for
thoughtful
intentional
development
that
works
with
these
goals
in
mind.
Next
slide,
please,
within
our
own
city,
we
have
an
example
of
tree
protections
that
work.
The
bridal
trails,
neighborhood
has
had
special
tree
codes
for
over
15
years.
Trees
located
on
the
perimeter
of
lots
have
more
protections
than
trees
in
the
center.
When
a
tree
is
in
the
way
of
a
proposed
structure,
the
tree
can
be
removed,
but
their
tree
code
requires
replacement
trees
to
be
planted
elsewhere
on
the
lot
to
offset
the
loss
next
slide.
H
Please
bridal
trails
is
a
heavily
forested
is
heavily
forested
and
people
who
live
there
want
to
keep
it
that
way.
Other
parts
of
our
city
have
fantastic
views
that
residents
want
to
protect
and
that's
important
too.
We
support
neighborhood
covenants
that
protect
views.
We
also
believe
that
healthy
trees,
which
are
well
maintained,
can
complement
those
views.
H
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
We
must
preserve
large
trees
to
meet
the
city's
tree
canopy
and
environmental
stewardship
goals
next
slide.
Please
I'd
like
to
conclude
by
highlighting
important
recommendations
from
our
tree
code.
Study
first
trees
for
livability
asks
you
to
create
an
urban
forestry
commission
with
a
range
of
stakeholders
such
as
community
members,
builders
and
arborists.
I
Next,
please
act
quickly
to
save
bellevue's
largest
trees,
while
there
is
still
time
trees
for
livability
requests,
extra
protections
for
landmark
trees
over
30
inches
in
diameter.
These
trees
take
multiple
generations
to
grow
and
give
bellevue
its
character.
And
finally,
please
require
paid
permits
for
all
significant
or
landmark
tree
removals.
I
B
B
J
J
So
a
little
bit
about
myself,
I'm
a
sophomore
at
interlake
high
school,
where
I
serve
on
the
bellevue
youth
council,
which
is
a
community
oriented
organization
in
which
a
group
of
peers-
and
I
work
together
with
the
city
in
order
to
promote
youth
involvement
and
opportunities
for
community
growth.
I'm
also
a
passionate
member
of
the
analytic
inquirer,
which
is
student-led
newspaper
club
at
my
school,
because
it
allows
me
the
opportunity
to
give
a
voice
to
various
issues.
J
At
my
school
and
in
my
community,
I've
recently
become
a
student
ambassador
and
students
aquatics
reporter
for
splash
forward,
because
I
believe
that
splash
forward's
goal
to
bring
a
new
public
community
aquatic
center
to
bellevue
is
very
important
to
my
fellow
students,
and
I
want
to
be
a
part
in
bringing
greater
awareness
of
this
effort.
There
are
three
main
points
that
I
want
to
cover
tonight
regarding
this
topic.
First,
the
issue
my
fellow
students
face
today.
J
Second,
why
do
I
believe
that
a
new
aquatic
center
at
bellevue
airfield
park
will
be
a
source
of
pride
and
equity
for
students
and
families?
This
center
will
provide
a
safe
and
inclusive
space
to
connect
where
everyone
belongs.
It'll
also
help
improve
the
mental
health
of
youth
through
activities
that
foster
self-improvement.
J
Skill
development
and
allow
us
to
strive
towards
our
personal
goals,
which
is
especially
important
for
adolescents
adjusting
to
our
post-pandemic
world.
Furthermore,
a
new
bellevue
aquatic
center
can
be
a
place
where
the
entire
building
school
district,
swim
and
dive
and
water
polo
teams
can
train
together,
grow
participation
and
support
one
another
in
ways
we
can't
imagine
today.
J
Third
and
lastly,
what
I
want
to
do
to
support
splash
forward's
efforts,
I'll
work
hard
to
create
a
support
base
for
this
project
by
bringing
awareness
within
clubs
classrooms
and
through
school
events
as
an
aquatics
reporter
for
splash
forward.
I
want
to
share
how
having
access
to
a
world-class
aquatic
center
will
change
the
lives
for
students
and
families
for
generations
to
come.

K
Great
good
evening,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor
noon,
house
and
council
members,
my
name
is
susan
pappalardo.
I
live
in
washington,
kirkland,
washington
and
the
co-founder
and
president
of
splash
forward.
Thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
share
my
comments,
as
you
consider
authorizing
the
memorandum
of
understanding
between
the
city
of
bellevue
and
splash
forward,
this
mou
formalizes
our
working
relationship
that
we
have
built
together
since
2017..
K
The
mou
outlines
our
nonprofit's
role
as
the
private
fundraising
partner
to
realize
a
new
game-changing
public
aquatic
center
serving
the
people
of
bellevue
and
our
surrounding
communities.
We
are
committed
to
laying
the
foundation
for
a
successful
fundraising
campaign.
We
will
begin
by
executing
a
private
fundraising
feasibility
study
and
work
with
the
city
to
develop
a
marketing
and
fundraising
plan
that
supports
both
private
and
public
sources.
K
We
will
also
partner
with
the
city
to
fully
explore
potential
project
and
programming
partners.
We
are
in
our
pre-planning
fundraising
phase
in
actively
interviewing
fundraising
consultants,
so
that
we
can
accurately
assess
the
full
range
of
private
funding
sources
from
local
corporate
partners,
local
businesses,
philanthropic
sources
such
as
foundations
and
grants
and
individual
donors
next
slide.
Please.
K
We
will
build
on
the
existing
relationships
we
have
formed
and
invest
in
new
ones.
Today
I
sent
you
additional
letters
of
support
we
have
received
since
we
last
met
next
slide.
Please
special
olympics
of
washington,
rainier
athletes,
orca
swim,
school
teaching,
adults
to
swim
and
the
husky
swim
foundation
next
slide.
Please.
I
want
to
thank
the
council
for
their
ongoing
support
vision
for
bellevue
openness
to
think
big
and
keen
focus
to
ask
the
right
questions.
K
I
owe
a
tremendous
thank
you
to
our
parks
and
community
services
staff,
especially
parks
director,
michael
shiosaki,
pam
furman
and
ken
kroger,
for
their
ongoing
partnership,
support
openness,
guidance
and
healthy
rapport.
We
look
forward
to
continuing
to
build
on
our
relationships,
maintain
our
transparency,
explore
options
and
confidently
take
the
next
steps
together.
We
believe,
investing
in
facilities
that
create
safe,
inclusive
spaces,
to
connect
recreate
celebrate
our
diversity,
improve
our
health
and
cultivate.
Our
hopes
and
dreams
is
an
investment
in
the
people
they
serve
and
will
have
ripple
effects
throughout
the
community
for
generations
to
come.
K
Efforts
will
restore
access
to
aquatics
for
those
who
do
not
have
access
today
and
will
address
the
long
wait
list
currently
well
over
1
000
for
swim
lessons.
So
our
community
will
be
safer
in
on
and
around
our
pacific
northwest
waters.
The
update
process
to
airfield
parks
master
plan
commences
this
summer
and
will
give
the
community
our
opportunity
to
add
their
voices
together.
We
will
help
bellevue
continue
to
be
the
city
where
you
want
to
be.
Thank
you.
B
B
B
L
B
I
see
your
head,
you
want
to
try
one
more
time.
B
M
M
M
This
forces
pedestrians
to
sometimes
have
to
walk
in
the
street
as
there
is
no
other
way
to
pass
these
obstacles
and
adding
all
the
additional
cut
through
traffic
from
136th
avenue
to
146th
avenue.
Under
these
conditions,
especially
during
the
winter
months
when
people
are
walking
home
from
the
park
and
ride
and
bus
stops
in
the
dark
is
a
recipe
for
tragedy.
M
M
M
B
N
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
My
name
is
bob
peters
and
I
live
in
seattle.
I'd
like
to
thank
the
council
for
the
opportunity
to
share
my
support
for
the
mou
between
the
city
of
bellevue
and
splash
forward
regarding
the
aquatic
center
in
investment
being
explored
at
the
bellevue
airfield
park.
By
way
of
background,
I
retired
from
a
36-year
banking
career
in
2021,
having
led
bank
of
america
in
washington,
federal
banks,
commercial
banking,
businesses,
where
I
delivered
billions
of
dollars
of
capital
statewide
to
public
and
private
entities.
N
N
N
The
new
bellevue
aquatic
center
project
is
a
unique
opportunity
for
bellevue
to
invest
in
world-class
community
infrastructure.
The
post-pandemic
more
flexible
workforce
has
upped
the
stakes,
as
employees
are
no
longer
geographically
tethered
to
the
degree
of
the
past.
It
will
be
imperative
for
cities
to
invest
in
long-term
community
assets.
N
Second,
this
investment
will
meaningfully
reverse
our
region's
under
investment
in
publicly
accessible
aquatics
facilities.
I
vividly
remember
the
lost
opportunity
to
build
a
world-class
aquatics
complex
at
the
university
of
washington
in
support
of
the
1990
goodwill
games
soon.
Thereafter,
the
university
canceled,
the
men's
and
women's
swimming
programs
constructing
a
new
world-class
aquatic
facility
in
bellevue
will,
in
my
opinion,
continue
to
build
upon
the
positive
momentum
that
the
east
side
communities
have
enjoyed
over
the
past
30
years.
N
It
will
improve
the
physical
and
mental
well-being
of
its
citizens
and
enhance
the
long-term
vibrancy
of
bellevue
bountiful,
regional,
fresh
and
salt
water.
Recreation
options
need
to
be
supported
with
a
facility
so
that
our
citizens
can
learn
basic
swim
and
water
safety
skills
with
well
over
40
percent
of
bellevue's
population
foreign
born.
This
is
especially
important
since
many
of
our
citizens
may
not
have
had
access
to
these
essential
skills
to
safely
enjoy
our
water-based
opportunities.
N
Third
splash
forward
plays
a
vital
advocacy
and
partnership
role
between
public
and
private
sectors.
I
believe
that
splash
forward's
thoughtful
approach
to
build
broad
community
awareness
has
positioned
it
well
to
secure
private
funds
to
corporations,
foundations,
grants
and
individual
donors.
The
success
of
future
capital
investments
and
programming
partnerships
will
be
well
served
by
splash
forward.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
share
my
perspective
on
this
very
exciting
community
investment.
B
O
Thank
you
very
much,
hello,
hello,
everyone.
My
name
is
ritam
hair,
I'm
the
co-founder
and
executive
director
of
the
sphere,
the
three
means
picture
in
hindi
and
urdu,
and
we
have
been
a
local
arts
and
culture
fixture
in
the
pacific
northwest
for
last
20
years.
Yes,
we
just
celebrated
our
20
years
of
celebration
last
weekend
and
I
would
like
to
give
a
big
thanks
to
the
city
of
bellevue's,
cultural
and
economic
development,
team
and
laurie
hoffman
for
taking
part
in
our
special
celebration
with
actor
and
comedian
carl
penn.
O
So
thank
you
to
city
of
bellevue.
This
week
runs
the
largest
south
asian
film
festival
in
north
america.
Our
mission
is
to
inspire
social
change
through
films,
art
and
storytelling.
Our
programs
takes
place
all
over
the
greater
seattle
and
bellevue
area
and
other
neighboring
cities.
However,
however,
we
consider
bellevue
as
our
base.
Our
last
physical
office
was
in
bellevue
before
we
shut
down
due
to
the
pandemic,
and
we
are
again
looking
for
a
home
in
bellevue.
O
The
suite
has
for
20
years
now
made
our
festivals
and
programs
happen
through
sheer
determination,
lots
of
volunteer
hours
and
the
support
of
local
governments,
foundations
and
sponsors.
We
have
worked
very
hard
to
bring
art
such
arts,
education,
anti-racism,
equity,
social
justice
and
creativity,
to
the
city
of
bellevue
and
with
trust
and
support
from
the
city.
We
and
our
fellow
non-profits
can
put
more
energy
into
doing
the
work
on
the
ground,
like
many
other
small
to
mid-sized
organizations
in
bellevue
like
ours,
led
by
and
serving
otherwise
under-served
communities.
O
We
have
proven
that
when
the
city
invests
in
our
efforts,
we
will
turn
around
to
produce
jobs,
make
bellevue
a
welcoming
and
culturally
vibrant
place
for
diverse
residents,
immigrants
and
the
next
generation
and
work
with
other
arts
organizations
to
create
a
strong
social
fabric.
So
thank
you
very
much.
A
Before
you
ask
for
other
speakers,
can
you
please
ask
that
last
speaker
to
send
her
talking
points
to
the
city
council.
B
B
Okay,
and
so
at
this
point
I
would
do
a
call
out.
We
have
a
couple
of
additional
minutes
of
oral
communications.
If
there's
anyone
connected
to
this
call
who
would
like
to
make
communication
to
the
council,
please
use
the
raise
hand,
function
or
star
9.
If
you're
connected
with
a
phone,
I
will
say
that
we
have
had
pursuant
to
council
rules.
We
only
allow
three
speakers
on
any
one
side
of
any
particular
topic.
We
have
reached
three
a
maximum
of
three
on
trees
for
livability
and
also
on
the
splash
forward
mou.
P
The
first
one
is
about
the
kelsey
creek
farm
annual
sheep
shearing
event
this
year
joining
us
this
evening
are
shelley
bringham,
the
assistant
director,
as
well
as
anna
marie
solomonson
community
services
supervisor,
pfizer
both
of
the
parks
and
community
services
department,
to
say
a
few
words
about
this
wonderful
event.

This

and
beloved
community
event
draws
a
diverse
crowd
of
visitors
of
all
ages
and
is
especially
popular
to
families
with
children.
Attendance
typically
ranges
from
four
to
five
thousand
people.
The
event
includes
a
variety
of
demonstrations
and
activities
with
the
main
demonstration
being
sharing
sheep.
Q
R
R
Sheep
sharing
has
taken
place
since
1972
when
kelsey
creek
farm
was
bought
brought
farm.
Animals
on
the
site
sharing
is
a
necessary
for
the
health
and
care
requirements
of
animals
that
grow
wool
will
never
stop
scrolling,
as
even
if
it's
too
much
and
accumulates
the
sheep
will
get
too
hot.
In
the
summer
times
in
the
1970s,
the
farm
staff
used
to
schedule,
the
sharing
of
the
sheep
and
the
neighborhood
would
m.
R
The
sheep
sharing
staff
can
explain
why
the
sheep
need
to
have
their
wool
removed,
how
much
wool
can
be
removed
on
a
sheep
and
that's
anywhere
from
six
to
fifteen
pounds,
how
the
shear
works
with
the
sheep
to
keep
their
stress
level
downs
and
helps
them
to
relax
at
the
very
end.
The
fleece
is
gathered
up
into
one
piece
then
taken
over
to
the
skirting
table,
and
that's
where
the
wool
that
is
not
of
good
condition
will
be
removed.
Q
2022
marks
two
additional
milestones
for
kelsey
creek
community
park
this
year
marks
its
50th
year
of
being
a
city
of
bellevue
public
park.
Kelsey
creek
community
park
features
150
acres
of
forest
meadows
and
wetlands
in
the
heart
of
bellevue,
offering
a
glimpse
of
this
city's
past
2022
also
marks
the
100th
year
founding

the
site.
Q
Q
P
Hey
thank
you
shelley
and
anna
marie
mayor
and
council
members.
I
have
two
items
I'd
like
to
just
comment
on
that
are
on
your
consent
calendar
this
evening.
The
first
one
is
item
8c,
which
is
ordinance
6656
amending
the
code
to
establish
a
speed
limit
of
20
miles
per
hour
on
most
local
streets
near
tai
middle
school
in
the
eastgate
neighborhood.
P
This
is
the
third
such
ordinance
for
speed,
limit
reduction
from
25
miles
per
hour
to
20
miles
per
hour,
and
these
reductions
are
part
of
the
neighborhood
slow
zone
program.
This
program
is
also
part
of
our
vision.
Zero
action
plan
element
that
is
working
to
assess
a
city-wide
local
street
speed.
Limit
reduction
council
will
have
the
opportunity
to
hear
more
about
this
action
plan
element
and
others
during
a
vision,
zero
update,
which
is
scheduled
around
in
mid-april
of
mid-april
of
this
year.
P
P
This
formalizes
a
working
relationship
to
support
the
fundraising
for,
and
development
of,
a
new
bellevue
product
center
and,
as
council
knows,
splash
ford
is
an
organized
group
of
residents
who
desire
to
have
a
newark
products
facility
in
bellevue
and
for
years,
city
staff
have
been
actively
working
in
collaboration
with
splashboard
and
at
the
october
18th
of
2021
council
meeting
council
gave
direction
to
develop
an
mou
to
work
with
splash
four
to
support
fundraising
efforts
for
a
regional
aquatic
center,
the
mlu
in
the
packet
fulfills,
the
council's
direction.
P
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
Next
up
we
have
some
study
session
items.
Mr
miyaki,
would
you
like
to
introduce
them.
C
Mayor,
I
believe
we
have
some
appointments
to
commissions.
First.
A
Okay,
maybe
I
skipped
a
page,
sorry
page
three
alrighty
here
we
go.
Indeed
we
do
have
some
appointments
and
reappointments.
First
we
have
a
council
appointment
recommendation
for
appointment
to
the
human
services
commission
and
deputy
mayor.
This
is
your
commission.
Would
you
like
to
introduce
that
and
make
a
motion.
C
Certainly,
thank
you
mary.
Well,
I'm
pleased
to
recommend
just
karen
saying,
sorrow,
better
known
as
jimmy
in
the
community
for
appointment
to
the
human
services
commission
this
evening.
After
extensive
recruitment
and
interview
process,
jimmy
is
a
long
time
resident
of
bellevue
a
2017
bellevue
essentials
graduate
with
a
track
record
of
giving
back
to
his
community
he's.
C
Also
the
president
of
the
norwood
village
association,
long-time
director
of
the
service
of
core
humanity,
which
has
been
feeding
the
homeless
at
cfh
and
other
shelters
since
2014,
and
he
also
established
covet
19
testing
at
his
sikh
temple
when
the
pandemic
hit
our
area.
Due
to
his
commitment
to
our
community.
He
has
a
strong
understanding
of
the
most
pressing
human
services
needs
facing
our
city
right
now
and
is
keenly
aware
of
how
language
barriers
and
a
lack
of
cultural
competency
can
be
a
challenge
for
residents
seeking
to
access
resources
in
our
community.
C
So
with
that,
I
will
go
ahead
and
make
the
motion
that
I
move
to
appoint
just
currency,
sorrow
to
the
human
services
commission
to
serve
a
partial
term
expiring
on
may
31st,
2025.
S
A
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
opposed.
Okay,
great
welcome
jimmy
okay!
Next
we
have
some
reappointments
and
I
know
councilmember
stokes,
councilmember,
lee
and
deputy
mayor
all
have
reappointments.
They
want
to
make
so
we'll
start
with
council
member
stokes
to
introduce
yours.
S
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
mayor.
I'm
very
pleased
to
recommend
reappointment
of
judy
galley
to
the
arts.
Commission
judy
has
served
shorter
term
came
in
for
replacement
and
has
just
done
an
outstanding
job,
she's
very
skilled
and
very
steeped
in
arts
and
history
of
arts
in
bellevue,
and
I'm
just
pleased
that
she
wants
to
continue
for
the
next
term,
so
recommend
her
very
highly
on
the
parks
and
community
services
board.
S
Paul
clark
has
served
one
term
and
I've
had
the
opportunity
since
I've
just
I've
been
with
the
arts
commission
for
some
time.
I
know
not
judy,
but
just
been
this
year
with
the
parks
and
community
services.
But
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
be
with
him
on
meetings,
three
meetings
so
far,
and
I
was
very
impressed
by
his
knowledge
and
his
relationships
with
the
with
the
whole
with
the
board-
and,
I
think,
he's
a
very
again-
a
very
strong
committed
individual
and
a
great
access
for
the
community
and
the
parks
board.
S
So
I
recommend
his
reappointment
for
another
four-year
turn.
A
Let's
go
ahead
council
member
stokes
and
have
you
make
the
motion
two
motions,
one?
First
for
the
arts:
commission,
the
second
for
the
parks
board,
we'll
just
vote
those
in.
S
Okay,
well,
I
move
to
reappoint
judy
gowdy
to
the
arts
commission
for
a
full
four
year
term.
H
S
Okay,
I
recommend
appointment
of
paul
clark
to
the
parks
and
community
services
board
for
a
full
term
on
a
four-year
term
for
the
parts
commission.
Second,.
A
D
Thank
you.
Let
me
I'd
like
to
speak
I'd
like
to
speak
on
each
and
then
make
a
motion
for
each
okay.
Thank
you.
I'd
like
to
discuss
the
position
of
the
environmental
service
commission,
it's
my
pleasure
to
recommend
the
appointment
of
kenneth
wayne
and
he
was
appointed
to
fill
a
term
a
couple
years
ago
and
he
has
demonstrated
extreme
interest,
competence
and
participation
and
working
with
the
commission
and
the
commission
chair.
We
believe
that
he
will
continue
to
serve
the
commission
and
the
community
of
bellevue
and
the
city
council.
D
Well,
so
he's
still
very
interested
and
engaged,
and
I
recommend
opposed
to
motion
to
recommend
mr
kenneth
swan
to
serve
another
term,
a
full
term
on
the
environmental
services
commission.
D
She
was
also
appointed
not
too
long
ago
recently
to
fill
a
term,
and
now
she
has
opportunity
to
serve
a
footer,
also
ending,
may
31st
2026
and
again
in
consultation
with
the
board
chair
and
also
the
representative
king
county
library
system,
and
we
felt
that
mr
misrat
would
be
very
committed
in
the
great
addition
to
the
board.
As
a
result,
I
propose
I
move
the
comment:
the
recommendation
to
have
sarah
rock
to
be
appointed
to
library
board
for
a
full
term.
D
A
That
we
have
deputy
deputy
mayor
newton
house,
you
have
a
reappointment
to
make.
C
Correct
thank
you
mayor.
So
two
members
of
the
human
services
commission,
both
benjamin
piper,
the
current
chair
of
the
commission
and
angela
fann,
who
was
both
was
recently
appointment
appointed
to
the
human
services
commission,
is
just
filling
out
that
partial
term
both
have
been
outstanding
and
great
members
of
the
commission
and
I'm
certain
we'll
continue
to
contribute
in
real,
thoughtful
and
meaningful
ways.
So
with
that,
I
move
to
a
point
reappoint.
Excuse
me
benjamin
piper
and
angela
fan
to
another
term
expiring
on
may
31
2026..
C
A
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
any
opposed
great.
It
is
just
remarkable
the
commitment
that
the
community
makes
in
serving
on
these
boards
and
commissions.
So
thank
you
for
these
recommendations
and
I'm
happy
to
move
on
to
the
consent
calendar.
Is
there
a
motion
to
approve
the
consent
calendar?
I.
A
P
Here,
mayor
american
council
members,
you
have
three
items
on
your
study
session
agenda
this
evening
and
the
first
one
is
on
a
proposed
code
amendment
regarding
noise
and
just
by
way
of
background.
The
current
noise
code
prohibits
the
use
of
amplified
sound
after
5
pm
monday
through
saturday
and
all
day,
sunday
and
holidays.
P
The
proposal
code
in
front
of
you
this
evening
would
update
the
noise
permit
decision
criteria
to
expand
allowable
hours
and
days
for
sound
amplification
use,
while
maintaining
other
requirements.
P
After
the
staff
presentation
staff
is
seeking
council
direction
to
prepare
an
ordinance
for
final
action
at
a
future
council
meeting
joining
us
this
evening
is
our
nick
whipple,
our
planning
manager,
as
well
as
christina
gallant
senior
planner,
both
from
the
development
services
department.
With
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
the
staff.
T
Great
thank
you,
city
manager,
miyaki
and
good
evening,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor
noon,
house
and
city
council.
As
city
manager,
miyake
said,
my
name
is
nick
whip.
I'm
the
coding
policy
planning
manager
and
joining
me
this
evening
is
christina
gallant.
The
senior
planner
on
the
clone
policy
division.
T
That
would
like
to
use
amplified
sound
as
a
component
of
their
event,
so
this
need
is
particularly
relevant
for
upcoming
spring
and
summer.
Events
like
neighborhood
block
parties
on
sundays
and
after
work
activations
in
the
downtown
along
the
grand
connection
route
and
next
slide.
Please
so
tonight
we
will
be
asking
the
council
for
direction
to
have
staff
prepare
the
bellevue
city
code
ordinance
to
expand
the
number
of
days
and
hours
for
amplified
sound
for
final
action
at
a
future
meeting,
and
if
directed,
we
can
plan
to
bring
this
ordinance
for
adoption
on
the
consent.
T
Calendar
next
slide,
please
so
for
tonight's
agenda.
We'll
begin
by
providing
a
brief
background
about
the
purpose
of
the
noise
control
code
and
the
different
noise
levels
that
are
permitted
throughout
the
city.
We'll
also
discuss
the
threshold
for
needing
a
permit
to
allow
for
sound,
sound
amplification
and
we'll
talk
about
the
specific
and
narrow
amendments
that
are
being
addressed
by
this
bellevue
city
code
amendment
and
then
give
an
overview
of
the
public
engagement
that
has
been
conducted
for
this
effort
and
then
end
our
presentation
with
some
follow-up
from
the
council
discussion
in
february.
U
Thanks
nick,
as
noted,
we're
going
to
start
tonight
with
a
bit
of
context
on
the
noise
control
chapter
and
how
how
it,
how
it
functions
to
help
queue
up
these
amendments.
So,
overall,
the
purpose
is
to
minimize
harmful
noise
exposure
of
all
kinds,
and
within
our
code
we
do
have
established
some
maximum
environmental
noise
levels.
These
come
from
state
regulations
for
environmental
noise
and
because
the
code
is
set
up
to
be
concerned
with
noise
impacts.
U
These
levels
are
measured
at
the
site
that
is
receiving
the
sound
I'm
not
at
the
source
of
the
sound.
So
the
limits
depend
on
the
land
use
type
currently
in
residential
districts.
There's
an
upper
limit
of
55
to
60
decibels
on
receiving
properties,
and
that
goes
up
to
60
to
70
decibels
in
industrial
districts
for
comparison,
60
decibels
is
roughly
similar
to
conversational
volume,
while
70
is
more
similar
to
a
car
or
a
vacuum.
U
So
as
noted,
because
our
noise
code
is
concerned
with
noise
impacts,
that
permit
is
only
regulating
the
specific
noise
impacts
of
that
sound
amplification,
not
the
event
itself,
where
this
can
get
somewhat
confusing
is
that
we
do
have
a
separate
path
for
using
amplified
sound
at
certain
large
events.
This
is
because
these
large
special
events
are
reviewed
holistically
for
impacts
to
other
public
rights
of
way,
public
resources
and
so
amplified.
U
Sound
is
considered
within
that
broader
picture,
but
otherwise
the
the
noise
permit
is
just
about
the
noise
impacts,
not
the
event,
and
so,
in
order
to
be
approved
for
a
noise
permit,
we
have
some
established
criteria
first,
that
there
is
no
amplification
permitted
on
sundays
or
holidays
next
that
the
amplification
is
only
permitted.
8
am
to
5
pm
monday
through
saturday.
U
It
can't
take
place
at
a
given
location
more
than
four
days
in
a
week
again,
subject
to
those
decibel
limits.
We
noted
subject
to
our
existing
quiet
zone,
prohibitions
and
protections
for
schools
and
hospitals,
and
so,
as
nick
mentioned
during
the
economic
development
outreach
process,
these
first
two
criteria
were
identifying
as
being
particularly
challenging
for
many
of
the
types
of
events
or
use
cases
for
sound
amplification.
U
So
looking
at
that
date,
limitation
and
our
limitation,
which
brings
us
to
the
amendments
we're
proposing
tonight,
they
are
targeted,
but
we
anticipate
they
could
have
a
really
positive
benefit.
So
first
would
be
to
remove
the
ban
on
amplification
on
sundays
and
holidays
and
and
then
second
would
be
amending
the
time
limit.
So
currently,
the
time
limit
for
amplification
is
eight
to
five
sunday
through
or
monday.
U
Through
saturday,
we
propose
updating
that
time
limit
to
8
a.m,
to
8
p.m:
sunday,
through
thursday,
so
weekday
nights
and
then
friday
through
saturday,
updating
to
8
a.m,
to
10
p.m.
U
So,
as
mentioned
previously,
that
the
genesis
for
this
project
really
came
from
engagement
under
the
economic
development
plan
update.
However,
we've
also
employed
additional
engagement
specific
to
this
amendment
process.
We
did
share
a
broad
notification
of
the
proposed
amendments
in
the
neighborhood
news
and
the
cultural
and
economic
development
newsletter.
U
So
in
general
we
saw
some
opportunities
to
look
at
streamlining
information
about
the
different
permit
pathways
clarifying
when
a
different
perimeter
process
may
be
required,
depending
on
the
type
of
event,
I'm
looking
at
ways
to
improve
the
permit
clarity
and
also
developing
some
improved
supporting
guidance
on
our
website,
like
faq
documents
or
other
guides,
and
already
we
have
added
some
language
and
a
link
to
the
sound
permit
application
page
to
help
guide
those
who
may
be
considering
a
larger
special
event
to
point
them
to
the
right
resources
to
get
that
approval
process
kicked
off.
U
A
Thank
you
for
the
presentation.
We've
all
seen
this
before.
Oh
my
gosh,
oh
we're
still
here.
Okay,
I've
just
lost
you
all
for
a
moment.
So
if
anybody
has
any
comments
or
questions,
please
raise
your
hand.
I
see
council
member
barksdale,
followed
by
council
members
on
the
head
council
member
barksdale.
L
All
right,
thank
you,
mayor,
thank
you,
nick
and
christina
for
the
update.
I
look
forward
to
the
nightlife
that
will
result
from
this
quick
question:
does
this
still
removing
the
ban?
Does
it
still
require
authorization
from
development
services
to.
T
A
E
Yes,
thank
you.
I
had
two
questions
or
one
comment.
One
question
I
like
having
a
special
events
guide
so
that
it's
easier
for
people
to
understand
how
to
leverage
our
process
and
then
having
that
in
multiple
languages
as
well,
so
that
those
where
english
is
not
their
native
language
can
also
understand,
and
then
my
second,
my
question
is
this:
I
like
the
fact
that,
on
the
weekends,
the
amplified
sound
goes
to
10
pm.
E
My
question
was
about
sunday
morning.
So
it
looks
like
this
saturday
to
sunday
is
the
same
8
a.m.
Are
we
anticipating
a
lot
of
usage
of
this
at
8
a.m
versus
nine
in
the
morning
on
sunday,
and
I
only
asked
that,
because
sometimes
we
do
see
that
sundays
are
a
little
bit
later
in
the
morning.
So
can
you
just
help
me
understand
why
the
8am
was
chosen
on
sunday.
T
For
council
members,
we'll
have
christina
actually
provide
some
explanation
there
about
the
hours.
U
Well,
this
this
amendment
process
was
mainly
focused
on
most
of
the
in
the
feedback
we
heard
was
about
the
end
period.
So
you
know
we
simply,
I
think,
didn't
hear
a
whole
lot
of
complaints
about
the
start
time.
But
that
is
a
good
question.
We're
not
we
don't
have
a
good
idea
of
whether
events
might
be
looking
to
start
at
8
a.m
on
sundays,
but
yeah.
It's
a
question.
E
Okay,
well,
I
just
wanted
to
understand,
because
sometimes
we
do
get
you
know
just
in
terms
of
construction
noise.
We
definitely
get
emails
saying
that
boy,
the
noise
is
sounding
really
early
on
a
sunday
morning,
and
so
whether
that's
a
concern
in
this
particular
ordinance
or
not,
and
that's
what
prompted
the
question
about
whether
adding
sunday
is
it
from
eight
to
was
it
eight
to
ten
or
whether
it
should
be
a
little
bit
later
on
sunday
morning,
like
nine
o'clock.
U
Sure
yeah
sunday's,
in
the
proposal
it's
eight
to
eight,
but
one
thing
to
note
too,
is
that
this
is
only
for
sound
amplification,
so
it
wouldn't
change
the
construction,
construction,
noise
considerations.
C
A
P
The
second
item
is
related
to
the
arts
grants
guidelines.
Just
by
way
of
background.
The
city
council
sets
the
overall
guidelines
for
grants
and
approves
annual
awards,
and
the
last
major
change
to
the
guidelines
was
made
back
in
2018,
and
you
know,
based
on
some
recent
community
feedback,
the
staff
and
arts
commission
believe
it's
time
to
update
the
current
guidelines
to
better
support
the
arts
community
and
to
be
consistent
with
the
city's
adopted
economic
development
plan
and
the
council's
vision
of
priorities.
P
This
evening
after
the
staff
presentation,
staff
are
seeking
council
direction
to
initiate
work
on
updating
the
guidelines
joining
us.
This
evening
are
jesse
canedo
assistant
director
from
economic
development
and
lori
hoffman
arts,
community
manager,
both
from
the
community
development
department.
But
then
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
the
staff.
V
Thank
you,
city
manager,
miaki,
while
lori
gets
the
presentation
geared
up
council.
This
is
a
update
to
request
to
update
our
guidelines
around
the
annual
arts
grants
to
help
improve
the
outcomes
and
lower
barriers
for
some
of
our
diverse
nonprofit
organizations
that
are
looking
to
receive
grants
from
the
city
on
an
annual
basis.
As
the
city
manager
mentioned,
we've
been
taking
a
continuous
improvement
lens
on
this
work
and
doing
a
lot
of
work
with
our
community
stakeholders
to
understand
what
barriers
exist
to
their
applying
for
grants.
W
Thank
you,
mayor
w
mayor
council
members
for
having
me
here
tonight
tonight.
Staff
is
seeking
council
direction
to
initiate
work
on
updates
to
the
arts
grants
guidelines
as
you've
heard.
This
work
will
better
support
our
arts
and
culture
non-profits
and
creatives,
who
are
making
bellevue
a
more
vibrant
community.
Consistent
with
the
economic
development
plan
and
bellevue
city
council
2123
vision,
priorities,
staff
will
return
with
recommended
improvements
at
a
future
meeting.
W
Our
agenda
tonight
will
include
a
brief
review
of
the
arts,
grants,
background
and
value
and
social
impact.
We'll
then
look
at
staff
analysis
and
proposed
guiding
principles
for
changes.
We
will
end
the
presentation
with
a
look
at
the
timeline
and
next
steps
the
city
has
approved,
has
provided
a
community
arts
and
culture
grants
in
this
form,
since
the
early
2000s,
with
the
latest
latest
major
changes
made
in
2018..
W
Currently
the
grants
fund,
arts
and
culture
organizations
through
three
annual
granting
programs,
the
east
side,
arts,
partnership,
special
projects
and
power-up
program,
day-to-day
administration
of
these
programs
is
handled
by
arts
programs
staff.
The
arts
commission
evaluates
applications
and
makes
funding
recommendations
to
council
and
city
council
sets
the
overall
guidelines
for
the
grants
and
approves
the
annual
awards.
W
In
2022
we
are
funding,
42
organizations
and
individuals,
and
I
have
awarded
in
45
awarded
45
grants
in
total
through
our
three
granting
programs.
The
eastside
arts
partnership
contains
two
levels
of
grants:
community
and
pro
with
awards
up
to
five
thousand
dollars
and
ten
thousand
dollars
respectively.
W
The
power
up,
grant,
helps
organizations
develop
and
develop
capacity
and
build
their
existing
or
I'm
sorry
helps
organizations
with
their
development
and
capacity
building
and
is
for
for
folks
who
have
already
received
an
eastside
arts
partnership.
This
grant
is
one
time
up
to
five
thousand
dollars
and
then
our
special
project
grants
foster
creativity
and
innovation
by
artists
and
communities
that
fulfill
cultural
gaps
and
inspire
new
forms
of
creative
participation
with
around
with
awards
around
a
thousand
dollars.
A
piece.
W
The
city's
arts
grants
have
an
important
impact
on
the
community's
access
to
creative
outlets,
arts,
education
and
the
attraction
of
regional
visitors
to
bellevue.
Additionally,
the
grants
are
important
as
they
allow
the
limited
art
staff
to
have
an
outsized
impact
by
bringing
an
estimated
total
of
nearly
3
500
artists
and
over
4
800
volunteers
to
contribute
their
creative
talents
to
bellevue
every
year
in
2022,
artists
and
art
groups
funded
by
the
city
will
serve
an
estimated
1.1
million
residents
and
visitors
through
programs
performances,
cultural
events
and
arts
education.
W
It
is
clear
that
our
community's
money
is
well
spent
in
the
hands
of
these
organizations
and
the
arts
grants
program
improves
our
civic
life
beyond
the
specific
quantifiable
number
of
people
served
by
these
grants.
There
are
also
broader
qualitative
benefits:
arts
grants,
support
organizations
and
activities
best
suited
to
heal
our
community
from
the
social
emotional
damage
of
the
cobia
19
pandemic
and
move
our
community
forward.
As
we
strive
to
overcome
systematic
racism.
W
Data
shows
that
our
arts
and
culture
organizations
are
uniquely
equipped
to
foster
positive
community
and
health
outcomes.
Some
examples
include
a
50
increase
in
community
activities.
A
study
out
of
the
philadelphia
region
shows
that
cultural
participation
leads
to
wider
community
participation.
Participation.
Participants
most
involved
in
cultural
activities,
were
50
percent,
more
likely
to
be
involved
in
other
non-arts
community
activities.
W
A
2015
study
showed
that
youth
participating
in
arts
programs
showed
significant
improvement
in
social
and
emotional
learning
skills
like
conflict
resolution,
future
orientation,
critical
response
and
career
readiness,
youth
participants,
measured
25
to
39
percent
higher
on
these
key
skills
after
completing
the
arts
program
and
arts,
encourage
empathy
and
decrease
distrust
of
others.
A
2013
study
showed
that
exposure
to
stories
of
other
cultural
experiences,
such
as
through
literary
fiction,
significantly
increase
empathy
and
the
ability
to
see
another
person's
point
of
view.
W
After
reviewing
feedback
from
our
grantees
over
the
last
four
years
and
conversations
with
city,
the
city's
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion
division
staff
recommends
these
proposed
guiding
principles
for
updates.
These
guiding
principles
are
recommendations
and
staff.
Welcomes
council's
feedback
tonight
proposed
guiding
principles
include
making
sure
our
grant
program
reflects
the
current
needs
of
our
arts
and
culture
community.
W
The
2018
guideline
update,
introduced
several
innovative
approaches
to
support
the
and
build
capacity
within
the
creative
community.
The
need
to
update
them
further
is
informed
by
feedback
we
received.
Since
then,
staff
is
speaking
with
the
arts
commission,
our
dei
office,
our
legal
counsel
and
arts
grantees
to
help
inform
possible
updates
in
alignment
with
current
policy
envision,
ensure
equitable
access
by
simplifying
the
application
process
in
2022
awards
ranged
from
five
hundred
dollars
to
seven
thousand
seven
hundred
dollars.
However,
the
time
needed
to
complete
the
application,
according
to
current
guidelines,
can
be
substantial.
W
That
is
time
put
in
before
even
starting
the
substantive
work
of
the
project
being
proposed.
This
heavy
workload
unduly
burdens
smaller
and
newer
arts
and
culture
organizations
who
most
often
do
not
have
dedicated,
grant
writing
staff
in
fact,
and
who,
in
fact,
can
commonly
rely
on
community
volunteers
to
complete
the
application
to
say
it.
Plainly
we're
asking
for
a
lot
of
work
for
what
can
be
relatively
little
financial
support,
possibly
discouraging
the
very
organizations
we'd
like
to
see
apply
center,
underserved
communities
and
funding
priorities.
W
Activate
the
bel-red
arts
district
through
arts
grants
initiatives
our
incentives
as
work.
The
arts
district
starts
to
ramp
up
in
the
next
few
years.
This
revision
of
the
arts
grant
guidelines
is
an
excellent
opportunity
to
align
multiple
priorities
by
offering
additional
competitive
funds
for
projects
willing
to
start
in
the
belrad
area.
We
can
both
fund
new
works
for
our
community
and
activate
our
arts
district.
W
While
we
do
it
and
finally
support
our
explorer
multi-year
support
to
streamline
and
reduce
work
for
2022
the
available
grant
budget
of
1
145
000
was
only
able
to
meet
53
percent
of
the
community's
requests.
The
average
grant
award
has
continued
to
shrink
from
5
600
in
2018
to
3
100
in
2022,
as
the
arts
commission
has
strived
to
meet
the
needs
of
as
many
applicants
as
possible
in
a
growing
pool
of
applicants.
W
Next
steps
staff
will
incorporate
the
feedback
we
hear
tonight,
along
with
feedback
from
the
arts.
Commission
previous
grant
applicants,
member

the
arts
and
culture
community

and
legal
staff,
and
we
will
make
sure
that
we
are
meeting
our
goals
to
provide
an
equitable
and
inclusive
grant
program
and
application
while
ensuring
we
meet
our
legal
requirements
and
granting
public
funds
for
review
the
timeline.
W
This
is
all
to
best
prepare
our
cultural
community
for
any
changes
staff
will
plan
to
host
information
sessions
in
july
ahead
of
the
grants
opening
in
august
all
right
tonight,
we
are
asking
for
you
to
direct
staff
to
initiate
work
on
updates
to
the
arts,
grants
guidelines
and
return
with
recommended
improvements
at
a
future.
A
Thank
you
so
much
so
any
comments
or
questions,
I'm
going
to
start
with
council
member
stokes
and
then
we
will
go
on
to
deputy
mayor
council,
member
barksdale,
councilmember
lee
and
councilmembers
on
and
then
myself
so
go
ahead.
Council
member
stokes.
S
Yeah
thanks
very
much
mayor.
This
has
been
a
a
very
interactive
effort
to
look
at
where
we're
going
in
the
arts,
and
so
much
is
changing.
And
I
think
that's
the
thing
that
struck
us
that
we're
having
so
many
different
groups.
We've
been
successful
in
increasing
the
interest
and
participation
and
with
the
diversity
and
continuing
diversity.
S
S
Frankly,
when
I
look
at
this
we're
talking
about
a
small
amount
of
money
for
a
whole
lot
of
things
that
we
expect
from
that
and
and
great
things
that
you
know,
this
is
a
creative
economy
and
it's
something
that
really
is
important
to
us
and-
and
it
also
does
a
great
job
of
looking
at
our
priorities
and
our
commitment
to
equity
and
to
inclusion
and
to
getting
the
whole
community
working
together.
S
And
I
think
it's
it's
already
having
the
focus
and
working
with
this
over
the
last
couple
years
and
trying
to
do
it
on
you
know,
trying
to
balance
things,
I
think,
has
really
increased
the
respect
for
the
arts
commission
and
for
the
arts
program
and
increased
a
lot
of
interest
for
it,
and
so
they've
set
a
good
tone
for
this.
S
So
I
would
encourage
that
we
approve
this
tonight
and
work
on
this
and
come
back
and
we
will
you
know,
communicate
quite
often
and
and
how
it's
going,
the
impact
it
has
and
all,
but
again
it's
it's
a
really
good
step
forward
in
a
lot
of
our
policy,
a
lot
of
our
hopes
for
arts
and
community,
and
it
will
help
us
do
a
better
job
of
of
particularly
getting
newer
organizations
involved
and
expanding
as
we
expand
our
you
know,
as
we
work
on
the
bellevue
of
the
bellred
arts
district,
as
we
work
in
the
rest
of
the
city
is
all
this
is
changing
and
growing.
S
This
is
a
good
time
to
update
this,
and
I
would
highly
recommend
that
we
council
passes
this
tonight
and
thanks
very
much
lori
thanks.
A
Thank
you,
and,
and
just
to
clarify
the
ask
that
we're
going
to
be
doing
tonight
is
to
ask
staff
to
initiate
work
on
the
updates
not
to
pass
it.
But
I
like
your
enthusiasm
and
I
think
next
up,
we
have
jeffy
the
mayor.
C
Thank
you,
mayor,
yeah,
great
presentation,
thank
you
so
much
lori
and
I
and
I
really
appreciate
highlighting
the
how
the
arts
is
so
important
to
our
community
and
all
the
different
ways.
It
does.
In
fact,
I'd
love
to
get
a
copy
of.
C
That
was
a
2015
report
that
that
you
walk
through
about
all
the
just
just
incredible
ways
that
the
arts
can
improve
change,
open
people's
eyes
to
different
things,
new
experiences,
it's
just
it's
it's
it's
incredible
and
I
don't
think
those
things
are
are
said
enough,
quite
quite
frankly
what
the
arts
can
do
in
in
in
our
community.
So
thank
you
for
walking
through
that
and
just
great
program
as
as
councilmember
stokes
mentioned,
I'm
ready
to
move
this
along
as
well
too
to
initiate
that
work.
C
Just
one
question
that
I
had
was
on
the
and
I
think
the
proposed
guiding
principles
on
point
no
question.
Those
are
great,
I'm
just
curious
on
when
you're
starting
this
work,
some
type
of
look
back
process
to
ensure
that
we
are
hitting
those
those
guy,
those
guidelines
that
you
that
you
mentioned
there
either.
You
know
after
a
year,
six
months
or
after
that.
C
First,
grant
process,
or
wherever
you
know
the
commission
or
yourself
feel
is,
is
a
good
place
to
stop
look
back
and
make
sure
that
we're
actually
fulfilling
those
those
those
guideline
principles
that
we've
that
you've
outlined
and
proposed
tonight
so
happy
to
have
an
answer
on
that
tonight
or
when
you
come
back.
But
have
you
had
any
thought
on
that?
Yet.
W
Our
feedback
process
with
our
guarantees
is
actually
fairly
fluid
and
ongoing.
Having
a
more
formalized
feedback
session
or
look
back
is
a
great
idea,
we
can
incorporate
that
into
our
recommendations.
Wonderful,
thank
you.
L
All
right,
thank
you
thanks
for
the
presentation,
and
I
also
appreciate
the
way
that
you've
laid
out
the
outcomes
and
the
references
by
the
way
I
did
take
note.
I
appreciated
those
I
was
going
to
actually
in
talking
about
the
guiding
principles.
Is
there
a
way
to
carry
the
outcomes
into
the
principles?
L
So,
for
example,
one
of
the
things
that
can
help
with
improving
social
skills
and
encouraging
empathy
is
having
more
interactive
art,
for
example,
something
that
the
community
can
engage
with
sort
of
serves
as
a
social
lubricant
to
get
people
talking
around
that
art
piece
right.
So
maybe
that
as
a
guiding
principle
and
then
making
sure
that
it
reflects
broad,
a
broad
set
of
cultures,
so
that
you
know
we're
making
sure
that-
and
this
maybe
fits
in
the
first
one
of
reflects
the
current
needs
of
our
arts
and
culture
cultural
community.
L
L
Community
activities
are
we
thinking
beyond
bill
red,
especially,
you
know
the
more
touch
points
we
can
have
across
the
city.
The
more
people
will
reach,
I
think,
and
encourage
more
activities,
as
well
as
the
social
skills,
as
well
as
encouraging
empathy
such
as
questions
among
those
happy
to
support
it
by
the
way
today,.
W
So
absolutely
we're
encouraging
artistic
activity
across
our
entire
community
and
the
east
side
grant
programs
are
not
limited
within
the
city
of
bellevue
borders.
Sometimes
our
cultural
facilities
are
elsewhere.
W
W
So
this
is
a
really
pointed
way
to
move
activation
into
balrad
which
isn't
currently
there,
but
we're
not
at
any
way
shape
or
form,
leaving
our
city-wide
approach
to
these
things.
L
Got
it
thank
you
and
I
I
actually
would
like
to
see
more
of
that
activation.
I
understand
prioritizing
the
arts
district
would
love
to
see
more
of
that
across
the
city
and
not
sure
how
we
might
go
about,
including
some
of
the
interactivity
as
part
of
the
guiding
principles.
W
You
know
stafford
can
look
into
that
and
get
maybe
some
more
details.
A
lot
of
the
programs
themselves
are
interactive,
so
I
wonder
if
what
we're
really
looking
at
is
that
a
is
that
a
metric
that
we're
trying
to
capture
an
application
or
report
about
what
is
the
level
of
interactivity,
as
opposed
to
like
passive
presentation
of
arts.
E
Yes,
thank
you.
You
know
I
support
this
as
well,
so
I'm
going
to
start
right
with
that,
because
I
do
think
that
just
like
councilmember
barksdale
talked
about,
I
think
about
arts
as
engagement.
It's
in
a
way
to
connect
identity
expression,
and
we
have
so
much
local
talent
right
here
to
showcase
in
this
work.
E
And
I
do
remember
the
last
time
that
only
about
50
of
the
requested
funds
was
able
to
be
provided
and
and
asking
the
question
about
the.
So
will
the
events
still
happen?
E
How
do
we
help
them?
Get
more
presence
be
able
to
be
to
go
after
this
other
type
of
funding?
We
have
you
know
a
lot
of
very
caring
business
community
that
funds
a
number
of
things.
It's
not
as
clear
to
me
what
the
pipeline
looks
like
to
connect
the
business
community
to
these
very
art,
artists
and
programs
that
we
fund
through
the
arts.
So
that
would
be
my
my
question.
W
So
it's
an
excellent
question
so
to
I'm
going
to
try
to
parse
out
a
couple
pieces
here.
I
absolutely
agree
with
you
that
operational
support
funding
is
something
that
is
incredibly
vital.
That
is
where
we're
seeing
that
difference
between
our
east
side,
art
partnerships
and
our
projects.
We're
really
thinking
about
those
two
in
different
ways
where
east
side,
art
partnership,
could
become
more
of
a
sustained
support,
operating
support
and
our
project
grants
are
really
for
a
specific
project.
W
As
to
partnership
with
visit
bellevue,
I'm
really
excited
to
get
my
feet
wet
as
I
join
that
board.
Learn
more
about
the
organization,
find
ways
to
build
those
bridges
and
connections.
The
events
and
festivals
committee
that
they
are
working
on
is
fantastic.
I
know
that
they
are
really
geared
towards
very
large
events,
they're,
really
looking
at
things
that
will
drive,
maybe
several
night
long
hotel
stays
and
that's
an
incredibly
important
part
of
our
arts
and
culture
environment.
W
These
grants
often
fund
the
the
rest
of
this,
the
environment,
where
it's,
maybe
our
smaller
organizations
that
are
doing
one
night
or
it's
more
community-based,
not
to
say
that
there's
not
certainly
large
events
within
this
grant
pool.
Wintergrass
is
a
good
example
that
drives
something
like
six
million
dollars
of
economic
impact
and
it's
within
this
grant
pool
as
well.
So
it's
a
mix.
W
I
I
hear
your
feedback
to
find
ways
to
connect
those
two
pools
and
see
where
there
might
be
partnership
and
then,
as
for
corporate
support
for
these
organizations,
so
so,
like
we
said
this,
this
grant
fund
53
percent
of
requests.
They
do.
Our
arts
and
culture
community
is
out
there
doing
the
good
work
of
sponsorship
themselves,
so
they
are
out
there
talking
to
our
business
community,
that's
where
they
get
the
rest
of
the
funding
they
get
it
from
their
members.
E
D
Thank
you
madame.
I
appreciate
the
presentation,
as
we
know,
or
as
you
see,
we
are
very
interested
in
arts
and
culture
and
what
we
can
do
to
our
community,
as
you
know,
also
where
the
requests
every
year
is
obviously
very
underfunded,
and
so
this
is
when
we
first
designed
it.
Many
years
ago
you
had
a
certain
principle,
certain
framework
framework
in
mind,
certain
implementation
scheme
right
based
on
what
was
available.
What
was
the
situation
circumstance?
D
What
are
the
priorities,
so
this
is
an
ongoing
thing,
so
I
really
feel
that
this
is
good,
that
you
know
you
are
constantly
working
to
make
it
better
and
more
more.
You
know
relevant
to
the
community,
and
so
I
want
to
compliment
you
for
doing
this
and
initiating
this.
My
my
question
is:
it
is
something
you
know
that
you
have
a
lot
of
good
principles
where
you
agree
to
it
right
principle.
D
What
we
believe
the
key
is,
you
know
you
haven't.
You
haven't
done
that
yet
you're
going
to
be
actually
coming
up
with
specific
things
and
that
that
has
to
be
part
of
the
process
right,
and
so
it's
a
work
in
progress.
D
So
this
is
a
good
topic
for
study
session.
Really,
you
know
the
city
council,
that
represents
the
public,
the
community
and
then
you,
the
staff.
You
know
you
have
your
experience,
you're
seeing
what's
happened
what's
happening
and
what
is
going
on
what
may
happen,
because
you
are
also
engaging
you
know,
part
of
the
community
and
especially
the
part
of
the
arts
and
culture
organizations
that
are
doing
it.
D
So
you
know
what
the
reality
is
and
we
know
what
reality
is
based
on
what
we
believe
the
community
is
like,
and
my
sense
is
that
a
lot
of
the
council
members
comments
are
very,
very
relevant.
You
know,
I
can't
remember
so
much.
You
know
some
of
them
might
don't
like
council
members
once
mentioned.
It
is
really
something
that
we
need
to
build
capacity.
D
You
know
you
mentioned
that
also
some
traditional
organizations.
They
know
how
to
do
it.
You
know
so,
but
yes,
that's
fine.
They
they
may
be.
We
may
be
given
less
now,
but
they're
already
ongoing.
Maybe
they
don't
need
to
depend
on
us
that
much
so
we
need
to
seek
out
other
underserved
populations,
community
organizations.
D
How
can
we
help
them
to
even
get
started?
So
I
think
there's
always
a
balance.
You
know
you
don't
want
to
snuff
somebody,
germany,
you
know
end
their
progress
by
but
giving
the
resource
to
somebody
else.
D
No,
you
want
to
have
you
want
to
have
everybody
to
flourish,
to
survive
and
that's
where
the
challenge
is
so
I
think
we
depend
on
you,
but
my
sense
is
that
one
of
the
key
thing
to
arts
and
culture
you
know-
is
to
have
each
culture
to
showcase
what
they
have,
because
those
bring
people
together,
but
I
always
believe
that's
why
I'm
very
interested
excited
about
cross-cultural
connection.
That
means
it's
just
having
cultures
just
do
it
for
themselves.
D
It's
good.
You
know,
but
it's
also
good,
just
like
eating
food.
If
you
share
with
other
people,
you
are
bringing
you
just
mentioned
that
young
people
want
to
go
together.
They
bring
diversity
together,
you
know,
but
when
you
see
an
adult
event,
you
don't
really
see
diversity
together.
You
know
you
go
to
a
one
country
event.
You
just
see
that
culture,
you
know
other
people,
so
we
need
to
emphasize
what
kind
of
encouragement
can
we
provide
incentive
when
you
provide
grant
grant
is
a
very
good
tool
to
bring
people
together.
D
If,
if
we
can
provide
a
principle,
I
would
very
strongly
advocate,
I
believe
the
council
supports
it.
We
want
to
make
sure
the
course
culture
community
are
working
together
to
share
the
experiences
and
create
experiences
so
that
all
war
can
be
together,
doing
things
sharing
our
experience,
working
together,
learning
about
each
other
and
that's
how
we
can
actually
be
one
community.
D
D
Will
wrap
it
up?
So
I
believe
this
is
a
work
in
progress.
I
would
definitely
support
your
working
on
this
because
it
is.
It
is
working
progress,
but
I
would
like
to
see
what
other
things
we
can
building
to
meet
the
principle
of
actually
bringing
people
together,
sharing
their
own
culture
through
their
hearts,
so
that
they
actually
know
understand
work
together
with
each
other
great.
So
I
would
like
to
have
you
come
back
and
maybe
we
need
to
have
a
look
for
more
discussion
and
how
we
can
accomplish
those
purposes.
A
Thank
you
so
maybe
lori
you
can
take
that
back
to
your
conversations,
we've
heard
a
lot
of
good
comments
tonight.
I
I
have
a
couple
of
comments.
I'd
like
to
make
you
know
one
thing:
I'd
like
to
make
sure
that
when
we
have
public
displays
of
art
that
they
are
all
accessible,
I
know
that
in
the
past
we've
had
bell
weather
exhibits
or
you
had
to
go
downstairs
to
get
to
them,
and
I
don't
know
that
there's
always
an
elevator
that
will
get
you
there
as
well.
A
So
I'd
like
to
make
sure
that
all
the
exhibits
that
we
have
in
the
city
are
accessible
to
people
of
all
abilities.
The
other
thing
is
I'd
love
to
see
sustainability
as
a
criteria
for
a
project.
I
think
it'd
be
really
fun
to
see
a
sustainable
art.
I
know
it's
out
there
and
I
think
that
would
be
really
cool
for
our
city.
A
I'm
also
curious
about
the
budget.
I
mean
35
000
a
year
to
a
very
you
know,
a
growing
city
seems
pretty
small.
A
If
you
could
tell
me,
I
know
this
is
not
a
budget
discussion
tonight
I
get
that,
but
if
you
could
give
me
an
idea
of
where
we
are
compared
to
other
cities,
it
might
inform
us
when
we
do
have
our
budget
discussions.
W
Sure
thank
you.
Mayor
bellevue
is
mid
to
low
on
our
funding.
If
you
look
per
capita,
so
some
of
the
cities
around
us
seattle,
funds
about
5.34
in
arts,
grants
per
capita,
issaquah
funds,
3.74
cents
per
capita,
bellevue
funds,
94
cents
per
capita
and
renton-
is
funding.
50,
51
cents
and
redmond
is
at
funding
19
cents.
So
those
are
all
just
arts
grants
per
capita.
W
A
Well,
that
gives
us
a
good
idea
of
where
we
are
compared
to
the
other
cities
in
the
region.
So
I
won't
go
any
further
with
that,
but
I
love
art
and
I
think
that
you
know
all
of
us
really
appreciated
the
impact
that
art
had
on
our
souls
during
covid
and
it
has
that
impact
all
the
time.
It's
just
you
don't
always
appreciate
it,
because
either
you're
not
around
it
or
you're
not
open
to
it.
A
So
I
really
appreciate
the
work
that
you
and
and
everybody
does,
to
bring
arts
to
everybody
in
our
city
and
give
people
the
opportunity
to
grow
through
the
arts,
and
I,
like
councilmember,
lee's
comments
about
cross-cultural
arts
learning.
That's
that
sounds
really
valuable,
so
I
think
that's
it.
Is
there
a
motion
to
direct
staff.
A
P
Sure,
mayor
council
members,
as
the
mayor
mentioned,
this
is
the
last
study
session
item
on
your
agenda
this
evening
and
it's
an
informational
update
on
the
development
of
the
parks
and
recreation
parks
and
open
space
system
plan
and
just
by
way
of
background.
The
parks
and
open
space
system
plan
is
a
primary
tool
used
to
guide
the
long-term
growth
and
development
of
bellevue's
parks
and
open
space
system.
The
plan
is
updated
every
six
years
and
the
current
plan
was
adopted
by
council
in
2016.
P
So
it's
right
on
time
that
we
are
in
the
process
of
updating
the
plan,
and
so,
although
no
formal
action
of
the
council
is
being
requested
this
evening,
you
know
staff
are
seeking
council
feedback
to
finalize
the
plan
and
return
at
a
later
date
for
council
to
adopt
so
joining
us.
This
evening
is
called
shiasaki,
the
director
of
the
parks
and
community
services,
as
well
as
ryan
walker,
senior
planner,
also
from
the
department
of
parks
and
community
services,
and
with
that
I'm
going
to
turn
over
to
michael.
X
Great,
thank
you
so
much
thank
you,
city
manager,
miyake
and
good
evening,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor
newman
house
and
city
council
members.
Tonight
we
will
present
an
overview
of
the
update
to
the
parks
and
open
space
system
plan.
We
provided
a
bit
of
a
preview
of
this
work
at
your
march,
7th
council
budget
meeting
as
a
part
of
the
park's
long-term
funding
strategy
agenda
item.
X
The
parks
and
open
space
system
plan
is
a
20-year
plan
and
the
plan
is
updated
every
six
years.
Robust
public
engagement
is
a
part
of
the
plan.
Update
and
you'll
hear
more
about
the
specifics
of
that
engagement
in
a
few
moments
from
the
public
engagement,
here's
a
taste
of
what
we
heard
and
it's
likely
no
surprise
in
our
growing
city.
There
are
significant
needs
in
parks,
open
space
and
the
recreation
system
as
identified
identified
by
the
community.
X
This
includes
the
need
the
includes
meeting
the
needs
of
what
we
call
emerging
sports,
like
cricket
and
pickleball
pickleball,
and
gaps
in
the
parks
and
open
space
system
in
terms
of
parks
and
neighborhoods,
including
eastgate
and
factoria,
and
bell
red
and
meeting
the
needs
for
open
space
and
fast
growing
areas
such
as
downtown
wilberton
and
bell
red
and,
lastly,
consistent
feedback
over
many
park
system.
Plan
updates
and
that's
to
continue
to
create
trails
and
trail
linkages
and
preserve
more
open
space.
X
As
you
heard,
the
presentation
is
for
information
only,
although
we
are
available
for
your
feedback
on
the
plan,
we
hope
to
finalize
the
plan
and
return
with
a
proposed
resolution
to
adopt
the
plan
at
a
future
meeting
later
this
spring.
I
will
now
hand
off
the
presentation
to
our
senior
planner
ryan
walker,
brian.
F
All
right,
thank
you,
director,
shiisaki
and
greetings
mayor,
deputy
mayor
and
council
members
really
glad
to
be
with
you
this
evening,
and
this
presentation
will
consist
of
a
brief
of
your
overview
on
why
we
plan
a
summary
of
the
public
input
details
on
planned
content.
And,
finally,
the
next
plan
are
the
next
steps
to
expect.
F
F
F
F
And
finally,
I
should
mention
that
outreach
was
largely
organized
through
digital
means,
especially
in
this
code
environment.
So
the
engaging
value
bellevue
website
served
as
a
hub
for
outreach
to
share
the
survey
post,
critical
dates
as
well
as
other
information,
and
there
was
over
140
ideas
shared
on
the
site
and
plan.
Outreach
was
also
sent
through
many
social
media
sites
and
city
listservs,
so,
ultimately,
needs
are
identified
in
this
update,
based
on
what
we
heard
through
the
community
input.
F
And
some
of
those
common
themes,
considering
all
the
input
received,
really
emerged
so
just
quickly
going
through
those.
We
see
that
we
heard
that
parks
are
really
important
to
quality
of
life,
which
is
great
to
hear
and
that
the
parks
are
well
maintained.
F
We
heard
that
we
should
consider
a
variety
of
facilities,
including
emerging
sports,
as
director
shiasaki
mentioned,
such
as
pickleball
and
cricket
there's
interest
in
design
for
interaction
and
gathering
through
innovation.
F
Similarly,
in
another
question,
respondents
were
asked
of
priorities
that
they
wish
to
be
the
focus
moving
forward,
and
this
is
using
the
same
options
as
the
use.
Data
and
priorities
were
generally
still
similar
to
those
use.
Statistics
and
again
are
very,
very
consistent
with
prior
plans
and
surveys
and,
on
the
right
hand,
side
there.
The
word
cloud
depicts
some
of
the
open-ended
responses
indicating
more
specific
priorities.
We
heard
from
the
survey.
F
Excuse
me:
all
chapters
are
basically
updated
with
the
latest
information
and
statistics
in
the
policy
framework
chapter,
the
environmental
stewardship
plan
and
the
diversity
advantage
initiative
were
the
primary
additions
there.
Also
there
was
text
throughout
the
plan
added
or
edited
to
represent,
needs
related,
equitable
access
for
a
diverse
population
and
bring
our
language
into
2022
and
the
capital
program.
Project
objectives
really
form
the
primary
recommendations
of
the
plan
and
I'll
get
into
those.
In
a
couple
of
slides.
F
F
So
new
to
this
plan
we
use
spatial
data
to
assess
neighborhood
characteristics
and
further
further
consider
the
populations
being
impacted
by
gaps
in
service.
So
the
three
measures
you
see
listed
are
consistent
with
national
best
practices,
individual
participation,
public
satisfaction
are
based
on
survey.
F
Data
and
walkable
access
is
really
based
on
spatial
data,
and
you
see
representation
of
that
in
the
map
on
the
right
and
I'll
note
that
increasing
walkable
access
is
also
a
goal
of
the
2020
environmental
stewardship
plan,
and
you
can
see
some
of
the
gaps
in
access
in
neighborhoods,
such
as
bellred
crossroads,
eastgate
and
victoria,
amongst
other
smaller
areas,
which
really
feeds
into
our
capital
project
objectives.
Work.
F
Proposed
additions
with
this
update,
include,
utilizing
under
or
using
underutilized
spaces
such
as
street
ends
and
rights
of
way
to
add
and
provide
access
to
parks
and
trails.
Objectives
are
also
proposed
to
be
added,
based
on
community
feedback,
to
represent
broader
goals
for
open
space
and
natural
areas,
conservation
and
stewardship.
F
F
F
Waterfront
access
focus
area
has
an
objective
to
acquire
and
develop
public
waterfront,
and
several
sites
are
identified
in
the
current
plan
for
development
or
enhancement
and
proposed
to
remain
proposed.
For
addition
is
a
general
objective
for
non-motorized
launch
and
storage
areas,
as
well
as
long-term
consideration
of
access
to
lake
bellevue,
and
this
is
particular
particularly
true
with
its
proximity
to
the
east
trail
corridor.
F
So,
with
this
update,
it's
proposed
that
an
objective
is
added
to
partner
with
conservation
organizations
such
as
land
trust
toward
open
space
conservation
goals.
The
narrative
has
also
been
added
or
updated
with
a
more
inclusive
list
of
regional
partners
and
also
updated
with
the
potential
for
additional
cross-country
cross-cultural
programming
or
other
needs.
F
A
E
Yes,
thank
you.
You
know,
I
really
want
to
express
my
appreciation
for
the
hard
work
of
the
staff
and
the
parts
forward
in
really
getting
us
to
this
point
ryan.
This
is
a
this
is
accumulation
of
a
lot
of
work
and
effort
with
you
and
shelley
and
and
the
staff
to
do
the
outreach
with
the
community
and
and
come
up
with
some
really
good
recommendations
of
additions
to
the
plan.
E
I,
I
personally
appreciated
adding
the
piece
about
leveraging
street
ends
or
right-of-ways
for
some
of
the
neighborhoods
like
mine,
that
have
no
parts
within
a
walkable
distance.
So
getting
that
added
was
important
and
I
would
say
that
the
and
especially
down
in
south
bellevue,
where,
as
you
said
in
eastgate
and
factoria,
we
really
don't
have
very
many
parks
or
open
space
for
people
to
connect
and
engage.
That
is
not
a
a
shopping
mall.
E
So
I
appreciate
that
I
will
say
that
the
one
that
was
not
in
the
list
of
additions
that
you
did
bring
up
in
our
presentation
today
was
about
the
cross-cultural
programming
and
other
needs,
because
one
of
the
things
we
did
talk
about
is
whether
things
like
a
cross-cultural
center
or
additional
community
center
spaces
is,
is
part
of
this
parks
and
open
space
plan,
because
I
believe
it's
it's
more
than
just
the
cross-cultural
programming
and
other
needs.
It's
the
potential
for
additional
physical
facility
and
space
to
be
able
to
have
those
connections.
E
F
That
is
correct,
it
is
it
is
in
there
and
on
you
know,
we're
describing
it
as
programming
and
other
resources,
potentially
at
the
moment
awaiting
the
feasibility
final
feasibility
that
I
think
is
forthcoming
in
the
next
month
or
two.
So
we
can
certainly
make
sure
that
the
final
plan
language
reflects
what's
in
that
that
feasibility,
but
we
have
updated
the
plan
to
reflect
the
20.
I
think
it
was
2020
feasibility
for
the
cross-cultural
facility
and
reflecting
that
that
relationship
with
the
parks
department.
E
Yeah,
I
think
that
would
be
helpful.
Just
like
when
we
were
the
mayor
was
asking
about
the
the
dollars
per
capita
for
arts
funding.
You
know
when
I
think
about
the
the
per
capita
community
community
space
we
might
find
that
we
don't
have
sufficient
space
for
the
population
and
the
community,
the
growing
community
that
we
have
so
thank
you.
C
I
do
no
longer
see
okay
stokes,
we
may
have
lost
him.
A
Why
don't
we
go
on
to
you,
deputy
mayor
and
last
charmaine,
our
city
clerk,
to
contact
councilmember
stokes
and
see
if
he
can
get
him
back
on
the
line
and
he
can
he
returns.
C
Sounds
good,
michael
ryan,
thanks
for
the
great
presentation
tonight,
this
plan
is
shaping
up
nicely
and
I
think
our
reputation
is
that
city
in
a
park
looks
on
a
good
path.
A
couple
of
question
couple:
quick
questions
for
you.
So
off
leash
areas,
growing
concern
or
of
interest
of
our
residents
and
personally
I've
heard
a
lot
of
residents
downtown
as
our
fastest
growing
neighborhood
that
we
really
need
an
off-leash
area
downtown.
C
So
can
you
can
you
dive
in
just
a
little
bit
a
little
bit
more
into
that
approach,
and
not
only
in
terms
of
getting
the
off-leash
area
in
downtown,
but
also
how
we're
going
to
in
an
equitable
way
distribute
different
off-leash
areas
throughout
the
city.
F
Absolutely
yeah,
that's
a
great
question,
so
the
the
prior
plan
was
fairly
broad
in
its
representation
of
off-leash
areas
and
we
still
do
refer
to
the
2010
feasibility
study.
But
this
plan
we've
expanded
upon
the
specifics
a
bit
and
that's
both
from
community
community
input
as
well.
As
you
know,
talking
and
looking
at
the
feasibility,
so
the
there's
four
independent,
specific
bullets
under
the
off
leash
areas.
I
would
I
would
point
to
one:
is
the
current
robinswood
facility
some
plans
to
update
that
the
second
bullet
would
be
an
awfully
shary
serving
downtown.
F
C
Gotcha
and
thank
you
for
inserting
in
the
presentation
about
which
I
feel
should
be
probably
our
number
one
acquisition
target
is
to
find
park
space
for
the
residents
in
the
eastgate
factory
area.
I
think
that's
paramount
on
slide
12.
You
said
just
looking
for
a
little
bit
of
contacts,
but
you
said
residents
felt
safe,
accessing
a
trailer
or
or
a
park.
I
think
it
was
up
to
like
90s,
but
was
that
safe,
walking,
biking
or
just
driving
or
just
was
it
just
kind
of
open-ended?
C
You
just
feel
safe
going
to
a
park,
I'm
not
sure,
but
I
don't
know
if
you
can
put
that
into
a
further
context
and
then
I'll
ask
my
last
question
here
that
you
can
answer
as
well
and
that,
as
you
probably
know,
governor
inslee
signed
a
senate
bill
of
5615
making
pickleball
our
official
sport
for
washington
state.
So
you
touched
on
it
there
briefly,
but
the
same
kind
of
question
in
terms
of
what
we're
talking
about
the
off-leash
areas.
C
There
can
you
dive
just
a
little
bit
deeper
into
the
current
facilities
that
we
have
for
pickleball
and
and
again
how
we're
going
to
equitably
distribute
different
pickled
pickleball
sport
courts
around
around
around
the
city.
F
Sure
I'll
tackle
the
access
question
first,
so
that
that
question
is
really
referring
to
walking.
It
refers
specifically
to
walking
access.
Okay,
I
think
some
people
are
probably
looking
at
it
biking
as
well
all
right,
but
this
not
it's
oriented
around
access,
not
necessarily
safety
in
the
park
facility
itself.
So,
okay,
you
know
going
to
how
wide
sidewalks
are.
Do
we
have
good
crossings,
those
sorts
of
things?
Okay,
that's
good,
and
then
on
the
pickleball
front
they're,
I
would
say
they're
short
and
long-term
strategies,
as
as
mentioned
in
the
plan.
F
F
It
could
be
a
regional
approach,
looking
at
how
we
provide
more
of
those
kind
of
facilities
specifically
for
tournaments
and
for
you
know,
groups,
I
I
know
the
pickleball
folks
would
really
emphasize
how
much
it
brings
out
community
and
having
everyone
together
in
this
in
those
spaces.
So
that's
you
know.
We
heard
a
lot
about
that.
A
Thank
you,
deputy
mayor
for
asking
about
pickleball.
I
appreciate
that
I
had
a
couple
of
questions,
two
things
that
I
didn't
see
in
this,
and
maybe
I
just
missed
it
are
a
long
time
ago
when
I
was
on
the
parks
board
with
council
member
stokes.
A
We
talked
about
urban
pathways
through
downtown
bellevue
and
I
know
we
have
a
few
of
them,
but
they
are
not
interconnected
and
I
wonder
if
there,
with
all
the
development
going
on
downtown,
if
there's
any
plan
to
connect
all
those
urban
pathways
together,
so
that
you
can
transverse
downtown
through
beautiful
properties,
and
then
I
guess
I'll,
ask
my
second
question.
You
can
answer
them
both
as
a
somebody
who
rides
her
bike.
Quite
a
bit.
A
A
You
can
get
from
downtown
to
kelsey
creek,
but
then
you
know
you
gotta
zigzag
around,
and
I
know
that
there
are
some
properties
that
the
city
owns
out
throughout
there
and
there
are
some
that
maybe
could
become
public
access.
I
wonder
if
there's
ever
been
an
effort
to
try
to
create
an
inner
neighborhood
route
for
peds
and
bikes
that
would
go
from
kelsey
creek.
All
the
way
up
to
crossroads
area.
F
Sure
so
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
downtown
pathways.
Really,
the
the
plan
focuses
on
the
greenways,
so
the
lake
to
lake
in
particular,
and
then
how
that's
connected
through
the
southern
portion
of
the
downtown
corridor,
as
well
as
the
grand
connection
and
so
grant.
I
would
say
the
grand
connection.
F
It
was
in
the
plan
in
2016,
but
has
been
updated.
Certainly
since
then,
so
those
are
identified
as
well
as
just
urban
pathways
generally
from
made
bower
connecting
into
downtown
and
then
broadly
expanding
the
you
know
wide
sidewalks
pedestrian
corridors
in
downtown.
So
a
lot
of
those
elements
were
in
the
2016
plan
in
brief
and
have
been
updated
to
reflect
sort
of
current
priorities
and
needs.
A
A
F
Integrating
with
the
development
plans
generally,
we
added
a
bit
of
text
there,
but
I
think
that's
a
really
good
point
and
should
make
sure
that
we're
we're
covering
what
we
need
to
in
that
section.
X
And
that
might
be
a
piece
that
we
need
to
coordinate
with
community
development
on.
I
think
a
lot
of
what
you
see
in
the
parks
and
open
space
system
plan
is
either
in
street
right-of-way
or
other
public
park
land.
So
probably
a
little
less
of
you
know
easements
across
private
property
and
some
of
those
things.
But
you
raise
a
good
point
about
how
people
want
to
actually
experience
the
city
and
it
isn't
just
a
long
public
rights
way.
F
And
then
in
corridor
from
kelsey
to
crossroads,
you
know
that's
not
specifically
called
out
in
the
plan.
Typically,
you
know
we
have
it's
a
pretty
broad
approach
as
far
as
expanding
connections
in
the
park
plan
and
a
lot
of
it
is
based
on
working
with
transportation
working
within
the
transportation.
The
pet
and
bike
initiatives
currently
ongoing
to
make
sure
we
have
those
routes
established.
I
think
anytime
parks
can
be
used
to
expand
those
routes.
I
think
that's
something
that
that
we
look
for.
X
Because
I
think
a
lot
of
those
forested
you
know
uplands
above
kelsey
creek
are
so
steep
that
you
know
they're
they're,
more
of
hiking
trails
or
pedestrian
trails
and
probably
not
very
suitable
for
bicycles.
Just
because
of
how
steep
those
slopes
are
there,
so
it
it
is
a
bit
hard
to
kind
of
get
up
the
hill
I'll
put
it
that
way.
A
There
is
but
right
next
to
you,
you
have
a
very
flattish
golf
course
and
I'm
just
looking
for
you
know
any
way
to
put
in
accessible
routes
for
cyclists,
and
I
know
that
there
we
have
a
parkland
kind
of
behind
silver,
glen
and
highland
middle
school,
and
you
know
that's
an
underused
piece
of
property,
so
I'm
just
hoping
that
part
of
the
plan
can
be
to
look
at
all
the
opportunities
that
we
might
have.
S
So,
anyhow
glad
I
got
back
yeah,
I
you
know
it's
really
exciting,
to
see
the
the
plan
coming
forward
and
I'm
appreciate
your
having
councilmember
zahn
first
on
this,
because
I'm
just
although
you
know
you
and
I
were
on
the
parks
board
back
in
2008
to
11,
but
it's
good
to
hear.
What's
coming
up
now
the
fascinating
thing
about
this-
and
I
think
this
is
a
a
compliment
to
the
parks
department,
community
development
department.
S
S
Back
and
that's
that's
something
the
bellevue's
park
system
has
has
a
very
consistent
plan
and
working
together,
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
learned
early
on
was
that
you
know
the
parks
board
and
the
parks
department
are
very
patient
and
eventually
we
get
someplace,
sometimes
quicker
than
others,
but
it
is
that
planning
and
and
persistence
and
working
hard
on
it,
and
I
think
that's
exemplified
by
this
this
park
plan
today
and
I
I
heard
a
little
bit
of
the
comments.
I
appreciate
those
that
have
been
made.
S
What
I'm
interested
in
to
comment
on
your
the
thing
you
brought
up
mayor.
I
think
that
is
very
important.
There
are
a
lot
of
things
that
connections
we're
having
now
that
we've
talked
about
for
a
long
time.
One
of
them
is,
is
the
grand
connection
itself
and
we
brought
it
up
from
just
coming
up
from
the
bay
to
downtown
park
and
now
all
the
way
over
to
and
eventually
you'll
be
able
to
go
all
the
way
across
up
bellevue
up
to
the
to
the
other.
S
You
know
north
or
east
side
of
it,
and
the
other
is
that
is
the
east
rail,
which
is
not
specifically
a
part
of.
I
mean
it's
connected
with
the
parks
piece
going
on
that
and
having
that
whole
piece
going
forward
and
where
it
goes,
is
amazing,
and
then
you
know
you
have
these
trails
that
if
you
go
into
the
botanical
gardens
you
go
on
past
the
swing
swinging
bridge
and
down
in
there.
S
Then
you
come
up
into
the
the
to
the
new
school
there
and
and
it's
in
kind
of
hitting
into
what
you
were
talking
about
earlier.
So
we're
we've
done
a
lot
to
connect
that,
and
I
appreciate
that
one
of
the
things
I
just
wanted
in
in
this
particular
session
is
just
listen
to
what
other
people
are
talking
about,
because
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
and
it's
and
this
council
is
very
innovative
and
parks
has
always
been
a
huge
asset
of
the
city.
S
A
A
D
I
hope
so
I
hope
so
yeah
we
are
having
a
couple
of
real
heavy
duty
issues
tonight,
I'm
wearing
you
know
it
all
is
about
people.
You
know.
I
really
appreciate
the
mayor's
question
you
know
earlier
and
there
was
a
real
healthy
conversation
going
back
and
forth,
and
this
is
what
the
study
sessions
about
is
to
allow
us
to
have
dialogue,
the
interchange
exchange
exchange
between
each
of
us
and
listen
to
all
of
us
talking
and
then
the
staff
heading
back
and
forth.
So
we
can
develop.
D
You
know,
ideas
and
thoughts
that
should
need
to
be
followed
up.
So
this
is
good
and
to
me
you
know,
bellevue
is
probably
because
it's
people,
that's
ultimately
who
come
to
bellevue
to
live.
We
are
sitting
in
the
park
because
we
pay
attention
to
system
of
connection
connecting
people
together
and
earlier
we
talk
about
arts
and
culture.
The
same
thing
we're
connecting
people
together,
we're
finding
common
things,
common
themes
that
we
all
enjoy.
D
You
know
people
meeting
physically
and
culturally
together
and
I
think
that's
important,
so
he
needs
and
and
you
the
staff
have
done
a
great
job
because
it
is
very
complicated.
Very
complex
anything
in
involves
people
and
people
always
changing
we're
growing.
You
know
community
at
one
time
the
population
is
a
lot
smaller.
When
I
first
came
here
and
the
diversity
is
almost
non-existent,
it's
all.
We
have
that
we
have.
We
always
have
diversity,
but
now
it's
a
lot
more,
a
lot
more
complicated.
D
So
I
think
this
is
ongoing
process
and
you
have
this
a
20-year
plan.
Don't
forget
it
takes
six
years.
You
know
you
say
on
the
average
to
update
it.
So
it's
a
big
deal,
big
deal.
We
it
requires,
and
we
we
have
a
the
document.
You
prepare
yeah.
I
know
how
much
time
you
took,
but
it
must
have
taken
a
lot
of
deliberation
and
time
preparation,
but
we
just
we
got
it.
We
read
it.
We
see
one
perspective.
D
We
need
to
talk
about
it
right,
so
I
really
appreciate
we
we're
not
going
to
spend
a
lot
of
time
talking.
I
know
the
mayor's
always
very
conscientious
about
timing
me,
so
I'm
I
cannot
talk
to
you
for
whatever
it
needs,
because
I
believe
it's
very
important.
So
we
need
to
spend
time
on
it.
You
have
to
survey
very
good.
You've
come
up
with
some
ideas.
You
know
one
of
the
things
that
I
appreciate
concerning
vaginas
john
mentioned
cross-culture
things.
You
know,
that's
just
one
idea,
but
the
basis
for
that
is
again
bring
people
together.
D
So
you
know
the
the
question
to
all
this
is
when
we
talk
to
people
and
people
respond,
you
know
your
survey,
you
mentioned,
we
talk
about
curricula,
we
talk
about.
Quite
the
same,
though
we
talk
about
a
number
of
things,
sometimes
people,
if
they
don't
have
their
mind
on
the
subject,
they're
looking
at
well,
if
we
are
not
talking
to
the
people
in
the
right
way
we're
not
going
to
get
the
result
in
our
customer,
I
mean
in
our
survey
yeah
survey
one
of
the
things
that
pointed
out
me.
D
I
should
not
be
even
saying
that,
because
I
believe
what
we
do
should
be
common
to
all
people
so
that
all
people
can
be
doing
things
together,
but
sometimes
we
have
to
talk
about
separate
things,
because
in
order
to
have
people
sharing
comments,
you
gotta
have
ability
to
provide
what
you
have
your
problem,
but
it's
got
to
be
shared
and
connected
one
of
the
things
that
didn't
get
mentioned.
I
believe
I'm
surprised
in
this
area.
D
You
know
the
asian
american
chinese,
americans,
one
of
the
biggest
minority
population,
and
I
don't
see
your
survey
mentioning
about
ping
pong
badminton.
Even
if
you
ask
the
population
that
group
you
know,
I
I
guarantee
you
you're
gonna
lots
of
folks
that
we
need
to
have
a
place
where
we
can
play
people.
X
Well,
you
know,
I
hope,
we're
meeting
some
of
that
need,
and
I
know
there
are
some
very
active
groups
that
do
ping
pong
at
crossroads
and
and
other
facilities,
so
I
think
maybe
we're
helping
meet
that
current
need.
F
Not
specifically,
but
I
I
think,
the
community
centers,
you
know
that
would
be
probably
where
they
they
reside
and
the
recreation
program
plan
we'll
be
moving
forward.
So
we
may
hear
more.
There.
D
L
D
D
Surprise
is
a
big
deal
to
some
people
right.
I
really
don't
have
a
squash
club.
You
know
I'm
glad
somebody
brought
up
pickle
coke
ball,
that's
great!
So
what
do
we
include?
How
do
we
talk
about
this?
So
my
point
is
that
we
need
to
discuss
all
these
and
then
I
personally
believe
that
cross
culture
is
really
the
principle
and
all
these
others
are
part
and
parcel
bring
them
together.
Get
people
together.
You
know,
however,
we
need
to
do
it.
So
let's
not
forget
one
and
do
it
and
expense
another
one
that
doesn't
make
sense.
D
D
You
know
reading
your
report,
janice
mentioned
140
pages,
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
ideas
will
come
across
when
somebody
reads
it
when
I
read
it
and
each
council
member
have
their
own
ideas.
So
let's
talk
and
you
don't
know
what
we
think
unless
we
talk,
let's
give
every
one
of
us
the
opportunity,
especially
council
members,
the
opportunity
to
talk
have
a
dialogue.
D
Then
we
can
come
up.
Then.
If
we
have
questions
talk
to
the
community
and
we
should
have
come
together,
we
should
all
be
coming
conversing.
So
let's
stop
doing
the
big
hurries
we're
going
to
do
it.
No,
let's
do
it
right
do
so
fully
to
completely
so
we
don't
miss
anyone.
You
know,
I
don't
think
I
did
mention
that
badminton
there's
another
one.
This
is
big.
A
council
member.
N
D
A
S
Yeah
I
just
want
to.
I
think
that
that's
absolutely
what
councilmember
lee
said
is
is
important.
I
think
we're
doing
that,
so
we
could
have
a
conversation,
maybe
at
the
retreat.
We
could
talk
a
little
bit
about
this
because
it
it
just
raises
issues
that
are
interesting
in
terms
of
how
do
we,
how
do
we
function
as
and
what
how
do
we
do?
Are
we
duplicating
things
and
all
that,
so
the
theme
keeps
coming
up,
so
I
would.
I
would
like
to
have
some
conversation
about
it.
A
Okay
city
manager
note
that
please
for
our
retreat
and
we
can
talk
to
you
offline
about
more
specifics,
okay.
Well,
there
you
are
okay,
he
jumped
on
my
screen
for
a
minute,
okay,
all
right!
Well,
that
was
a
good
conversation.
I
hope
staff
that
you
got
the
feedback
that
you
you
will
find
valuable
as
you
proceed
on
this
and
we
thank
you
all
for
the
work
that
you're
doing
and
that
you
continue
to
do.
This
is
a
big
process,
but
it's
exciting
just
the
same.
So
with
that
there
are
no
other
things.
A
I
want
to
remind
everybody
that
next
week's
monday's
meeting
is
cancelled
because
we
will
be
on
retreat
at
the
end
of
this
week
through
the
weekend,
and
so
we
will
not
be
having
a
meeting
this
monday,
but
the
following
monday.
We
will
be
back
for
our
next
council
meeting,
so
our
meetings
adjourned.
Thank
you
very
much.
