Yes,
thank
you
mayor.
There
are
seven
pre-assigned
speakers
or
pre-registered
speakers
this
evening
and
before
we
get
started,
calling
names
I'd
like
to
remind
the
public
that
oral
communications
is
for
a
total
of
no
more
than
30
minutes
and
speakers
will
be
allowed
up
to
three
minutes
to
speak
and
a
maximum
of
three
persons
are
allowed
to
speak
to
any
one
particular
topic,
and
with
that
I
will
call
our
first
speaker
who
is
court
wilson,
and
I
believe
mr
olsen
is
in
person.
Thank
you.

Good
evening,
mayor
robinson
and
council
members,
zhan
marksdale
robertson,
lee
and
stokes
good
to
be
here
again
with
you.
You
all
know
me
by
now
a
resident
of
lake
hills,
neighborhood
bellevue,
and
I'm
here
tonight
representing
a
group
called
people
for
climate
action
bellevue
chapter
last
tuesday
evening
we
were
privileged
to
receive
a
advanced
copy
of
the
environmental
stewardship
plan
update
for
july.
F
F
F
F
Instead,
city
officials
need
to
number
one
better
understand
those
complexities
themselves
number
two
educate
the
public
on
how
specific
city
actions
needed
to
on
these
specific
city
actions
needed
to
effectively
bring
down
emissions
community-wide
and
number
three
implement
such
impactful
actions
rapidly.
We
see
other
u.s
cities
effectively
lowering
emissions
by
doing
just
that.
F

Thank
you,
mr
olson.
The
next
speaker
on
the
list
is
giovanna
eris
or
auras.

However,
they
way
underestimated
the
usa
team
usa
went
undefeated
in
the
tournament
blowing
out
the
home
team
trinidad
in
the
finals,
by
a
big
margin
for
the
commentator
when
the
winning
runs
were
scored.
Quote
usa,
women's
team
have
been
dominant
in
so
many
sports
track
and
field
soccer
basketball.

Last
year
I
was
the
only
woman
cricketer
playing
hardball
cricket
in
the
area.
Since
january
this
year,
25
girls
have
been
practicing
diligently
and
are
now
playing
games
on
the
weekends
I'm
hoping
some
of
them
will
join
me
soon
in
regional
and
national
tournaments.
We
want
to
do
more
for
our
country.
We
want
to
win
qriket
world
cups
and
olympic
gold
medals
and
having
played
with
highly
skilled
young
women
cricketers
in
this
country,
along
with
our
sport,
culture
that
poses
wait
hold
on,
poses
no
limits
for
women.
A
Right
there
I
have
four
more
words,
so
go
ahead
and
say
them
and
then
thank
you
so
much.
H
I
was
part
of
the
seattle
cricket
club
in
the
90s,
the
very
first
cricket
club
in
in
the
area
and
back
then
we
played
in
the
british
columbia
league
in
vancouver
and
then
the
northwest
league.
When
that
got
started
in
in
the
seattle
area.
H
Back
then
we
played
in
the
beautiful
cricket
field
in
tequila
at
the
fort
den
park.
Unfortunately,
2003
this
park
was
leased
by
king
county
to
starfire
sports
for
soccer
that
we
all
know
and
love
the
sounders
train
there
as
well.
H
We
also
played
at
marymore
park
on
the
same
stretch
of
land
which
is
now
being
considered
for
the
cricket
stadium.
So
there's
some
history
with
cricket
there.
Yes,
we
played
cricket
on
that
strip
of
land.
More
recently,
I
played
at
robbins
for
cricket
field
in
in
bellevue,
which
is
according
to
a
school
district
reconstructions
plans.
We
could
lose
that
field
again
to
another
to
some
turf
soccer
fields
on
that
on
that
property.
H
I
coached
my
sons
and
then
my
daughter,
giovanna's
lake
hills,
youth
soccer
teams
from
2005
to
2017.
I
was
a
lakers
select
soccer
coach
for
several
years.
I
am
still
now
a
usa
soccer
federation
d
license
coach.
I
worked
with
jubilee
reach
and
several
players
on
my
soccer
teams
have
needed
support
over
the
years,
so
I'm
all
in
for
youth
sports,
especially
for
children,
for
whom
sports
has
had
an
impact
on
who
they
are
and
how
they
view
themselves.
H
I
understand
space
constraints
and
and
for
facilities
and
and
funding
constraints,
but
we
need
to
balance
the
support
for
our
various
sports,
with
the
changing
demographics
that
we
have
in
this
region.
Cricket
has
grown
exponentially
in
our
region
in
the
in
the
90s
when
we
played
cricket
when
I
played
cricket,
there
were
only
six
teams
today.
Between
nwc
and
arcl
are
two
organized
leagues.
Here
we
have
close
to
200
teams.
H
In
addition,
we
have
four
youth
academies
that
have
teams
at
multiple
levels,
as
well
as
women's
team
that
jovana
mentioned
she
has
she's
been
coaching,
so
there
are
quite
quite
a
bit
of
cricket
going
on
here,
so
we
need
to
help.
We
need
your
help
in
providing
a
direct,
diverse
community,
the
cricket
facilities.
We
need
to
thrive
on
giovanna's,
usa,
cricket
bio.
She
says
she
is
from
bellevue
washington,
hopefully
someday
folks
in
the
quickening
world
would
know
bellevue
as
a
birthplace
of
great
cricketers.
I
Hi
there
I'm
betsy
hummer
14541
southeast
26th
street
lake
hills,
eastgate
neighborhood,
there's
a
little
slash
there
with
the
sun
setting
of
the
east
bellevue
community
council.
I
urge
council
boards
commissions
and
staff
to
pay
close
attention
to
the
pragmatic
requests
of
people
of
bellevue
when
they
first
surface
ebcc
had
disapproval
power
over
certain
land
use
decisions
which
give
them
gave
them
a
legislative
clout
neighborhoods
and
their
associations
do
not
have
any
particular
legislative
power
and
depend
on
their
representatives
to
enact
their
wills
for
them.
At
the
eastgate
neighborhood
walk.
I
I
I
hope
city
hall
pays
close
attention
to
the
comments
and
concerns
of
people
of
bellevue
during
these
neighborhood
walks.
Wilburton
is
concerned
about
increasing
fast
cut
through
traffic
crime
out
of
scale
new
homes
and
proposed
increased
density.
They
also
wish
to
clarify
the
inaccurate
moniker
of
the
commercial
development
district,
known
as
wolberton
vision.
The
commercial
area
south
of
lake
bill
view
ney
sturtevant
next
to
the
railroad,
was
named
mid
lakes
in
1904
by
l.d
godzi
and
is
now
mysteriously
called
the
wilberton
vision.
I
I
Please
rename
the
wilberton
vision
to
reflect
the
historical
mid-lakes
name
and
reassure
wilbur
tonight's
office
towers
will
not
be
coming
to
their
residential
neighborhood.
Again.
I
hope
city
hall
pays
close
attention
to
the
people
of
bellevue
at
the
upcoming
neighborhood
walks
and
through
the
presentations
they
do
make
to
city
council,
let's
not
make
them
buy
t-shirts.
B
E
E
You,
my
name,
is
sally
lawrence
and
I've
lived
in
northeast
bellevue
for
28
years.
My
address
is
on
file.
Thank
you,
mayor,
robinson
and
city
council,
for
this
opportunity
to
speak.
I'm
in
support
of
the
proposed
park
levy
that
would
be
on
the
ballot
in
the
fall
at
this
time
of
unprecedented
growth
in
bellevue.
The
city
needs
to
secure
additional
parks
and
open
space
to
serve
the
burgeoning
population
during
the
first
and
the
worst
year
of
the
pandemic.
E
Before
we
had
vaccines,
I
visited
red
town
trailhead
across
the
street
from
the
coal
creek
natural
area
a
number
of
times
and
was
impressed
with
the
jammed
parking
area.
People
were
using
the
trails
for
running
hiking,
taking
families
on
walks
and
generally
enjoying
the
outstanding
natural
beauty
of
both
the
county
park
and
the
city
park.
E
Even
though
the
pandemic
has
eased.
These
trails
continue
to
be
very
popular.
Health
authorities
have
told
us
to
stay
prepared
for
future
pandemics
in
our
lifetimes,
and
these
spaces
will
be
incredibly
value,
valuable
as
we
adjust
to
some
new
realities.
E
E
B
B
J
Psychopath

B
Okay,
that
is
the
end
of
our
pre-registered
list.
I
we
do
still
have
a
few
minutes
of
oral
communications.
If
there's
anyone
joining
us
here
tonight
who
would
like
to
speak
to
the
council,
please

your

A
Okay,
we're
on
to
the
report
of
the
city
manager,
and
I
really
appreciate
this
topic
tonight,
because
I
asked
the
two
give
us
a
report
out
on
police
progress
with
some
of
the
crime
that
we're
experiencing
right
now.
So
I
appreciate
this.
We
don't
typically
take
questions
or
comments
from
the
council
on
the
report
of
the
city
manager,
but
you're
going
to
be
doing
a
full
presentation.
On
august
1st,
on
our
last
meeting
that
we
can
talk
to
you
about
anything,
we
need
to
discuss
and
we
can
submit
emails
after
this.
So
mr
miyake.
K
So
thank
you
mayor
and
council
members.
As
you
mentioned,
we
have
chief
shirley
as
well
as
his
staff
joining
us
this
evening,
to
give
you,
the
council
and
the
viewing
public
a
brief
report
on
crime
activity,
the
in
the
recently
that
we've
been
experiencing,
as
well
as
the
police
department's
response
to
that
the
chief
shirley
is
also
joined
by
some
victims.
K
Excuse
me
some
of
his
members
of
his
staff,
including
assistant
police,
chief,
pat
harpin,
as
well
as
public
information
officer
meegan
black
with
that,
if
you
want
to
step
up
chief
and
staff
I'll
turn
it
over
to
the
chief
to
begin
his
presentation.
L
Thank
you
good
evening,
mayor
city,
council
members,
we're
pleased
to
be
here
to
to
report
out
and
provide
you
with
information
on
the
crime
trends
we're
seeing
in
the
city
and
how
we're
responding
to
those
crime
trends.
L
One,
so
what
we
plan
to
do
is
we're
going
to
break
the
information
into
two
categories.
One
category
is
property
crimes
which
consist
of
shoplifting
burglary
to
motor
vehicle,
those
type
of
crimes,
and
the
second
category
is
crimes
against
persons,
basically
assault
type
aggravated
assault
type
incidents.
L
The
increases
that
we've
experienced
shoplifting
is
one
that
we've
experienced
an
increase
in
and
are
working
very
closely
with
our
businesses
and
loss
prevention.
Coordinators
also
the
same
for
mv
thefts,
which
is
motor
vehicle
thefts
and
car
prowls,
which
are
car
break-ins.
So
that's
the
the
cause
of
the
increase
in
our
property
crimes
currently,
but,
as
you
can
also
see,
a
mail
theft
was
something
that
we
heard
loud
and
clear
for
many
many
months
and
we
really
started
to
focus
on
that
and
have
been
able
to
get
that
decreased
next
slide.
L
The
second
category
is
our
crimes
against
persons.
So
that's
typically
your
aggravated
assaults.
Your
salts
that
happen
on
at
points
in
time.
The
overall
increase
there
year
to
date
is
12.9
percent
and,
as
you
can
see,
our
aggravated
assaults
are
actually
down
and
the
aggravated
assaults
are
the
more
serious
type
of
salts
that
occur.
Those
are
actually
down,
whereas
our
robberies
are
up
a
bit
and
the
reason
for
that
is
twofold.
L
We've
had,
we
certainly
have
had
some
armed
robberies
in
the
city,
but
we've
also
had
a
number
of
those
are
related
to
shoplifting.
L
So
when
someone
goes
to
a
store
and
shoplifts
and
then
they're
there's
an
attempt
to
detain
them
by
security
or
the
store
staff,
if
that
person
resists
and
fight
to
get
their
way
out
of
there,
that
is
elevated
up
to
a
robbery,
and
so
we
have
a
number
of
those
which
is
causing
that
uptick,
our
rapes
have
remained
relatively
the
same
and
to
date
we
have
not
had
a
homicide
this
year.
As
of
yet.
L
So,
combining
those
two,
our
property
crimes
and
our
crimes
against
persons
we're
experiencing
about
a
10.5
percent
increase
this
year,
and
so
what
is
your
police
department
doing
about
it?
And
how
are
we
responding
to
it?
L
So
our
general
philosophy
we're
using,
is
simply
called
the
pie,
prevention,
intervention
and
enforcement
prevention,
meaning
we
have
a
full-time
crime,
crime,
analyst
and
crime
coordinator
who
communicates
with
the
community
the
public
in
regards
to
safety
tips,
educational
tips,
so
that
they
can
prevent
themselves
from
being
a
victim
of
a
car
there
for
burglary
or
anything
of
that
nature
intervention.
We
work
closely
with
other
service
providers.
So
if
we
can
steer
somebody
into
some
services,
we
will
certainly
do
that
so
that
they
don't
fall
into
or
continuing
a
life
of
crime.
L
Here
in
the
state,
we
started
to
see
an
uptick
in
crime,
whether
it
was
property,
crime
or
others,
but
we
certainly
began
to
see
an
uptick,
and
so
we
knew
that,
even
though
we
were
out
there
and
enforcing
things
we
needed
to
up
the
ante,
and
so
thus
came
the
anti-crime
initiative,
and
we
publicized
that
to
the
public
so
that
they
would
know
what
we're
doing,
but
also,
though,
to
those
who
choose
to
come
to
our
city
and
commit
crime
that
we're
not
going
to
tolerate
it
and
we're
going
to
do
something
about
it,
and
so
the
anti-crime
initiative
basically
involves
high
visibility
patrol
right,
it's
an
all
hands
on
deck
and
a
police
department.
L
It's
our
uniform
patrol,
it's
our
undercover
officers,
it's
our
detectives,
you
name
it
and
it's
a
coordinated
effort
where
we
identify
hot
spots
based
on
crime
analysis
is
what
we
use
on
a
daily
basis,
the
officer's
own
experience
working
in
the
city
and
feedback
we
get
from
the
community.
So
those
three
things
we
use
to
to
address
hot
spots
and
issues
in
some
of
these
areas
next
slide.
L
Some
of
the
other
things
we
did
early
on
as
well
in
this
region.
Catalytic
converters,
as
I'm
sure
everybody
knows
have,
has
been
a
main
issue
and
challenge
in
the
state
of
washington
and,
quite
frankly,
across
the
country,
and
so
we
took
a
proactive
move
here
in
bellevue
and
initiated
the
catalytic
converter
task
force,
which
basically
brought
together
a
number
of
our
surrounding
agencies
to
collaborate
with
us
and
basically,
what
that
does
is
share.
L
Detectives
are
sharing
information
because
folks
that
decide
to
steal
have
no
boundaries
right,
and
so
we
decided
with
the
agencies
around
us.
Let's
get
together,
share
information,
assist
each
other
in
investigations
and
make
some
arrests
and
I'm
certainly
happy
to
say
we
have
certainly
made
our
share
of
arrest
in
regards
to
this
issue.
L
So
this
is
just
a
snapshot
of
the
anti-crime
initiative
results,
so
we've
done
a
number
of
operations,
and
so
what
you
see
here
is
the
north
sector
and,
as
you
can
see
in
pretty
much
all
the
categories
that
we've
been
focusing
on
from
shoplifting
to
car
theft
to
car
pros
to
burglaries
have
gone
down
now.
This
is
just
a
a
short
snapshot,
probably
starting
in
june
from
about
june
to
to
now.
L
So
it's
only
not
even
a
couple
of
months
yet,
but
this
is
promising,
and
this
tells
us
that
our
focus
is
in
the
right
direction
and
so
and
we're
doing
that
across
the
city
of
course-
and
we
also
have
our
data
back
dashboard,
that's
up
and
running,
and
we're
still
making
adjustments
to
that.
But
that
will
give
our
community
a
wealth
of
information
beyond
just
crime
right.
It
will
give
them
informational
use
of
force
data,
our
diversity,
a
number
of
other
things
as
well.
M
M
We've
used
social
media
we've
leveraged
traditional
media
you've,
probably
seen.
I
think,
every
single
television
station
radio
stations
all
talked
about
this
crime
initiative
and
how
this
anti-crime
initiative
and
what
we're
doing
about
it.
So
we
feel
it's
very
important
to
be
able
to
reach
the
public
our
community
to
let
them
know
that
we
understand
their
fear.
M
We
understand
that
car
prowls
are
happening
and
when
it
happens
to
you,
it
impacts
you
and
we
we
get
that
so
our
task
force
and
our
emphasis
are
very
important
and
it's
important
that
the
public
knows
that
so
we've
leveraged
traditional
and
social
media
to
get
that
message
out.
Our
patrol
officers
have
also
received
tremendous
feedback
from
the
businesses
and
the
community.
Members
who've
noticed
officers
just
concentrating
on
an
area
that
we
call
our
hot
spots
because
we
use
the
data
dashboard.
M
We
identify
where
all
the
crimes
are
happening
and
then
we
send
our
officers
in
there
just
to
increase
patrols
and
they
see
it
and
they
recognize
it,
and
these
are
just
a
few
of
the
literally
dozens
and
dozens
and
dozens
of
comments
that
we
have
received
from
our
community,
based
on
the
efforts
from
this
anti-crime
initiative
and
the
response
so
far,
and
it's
just
in
its
infancy
and
that's
the
beautiful
thing
about
this-
is
that
we're
not
done
yet
we're
just
going
to
keep
going
and
we're
going
to
make
sure
that
people
not
only
are
safe,
but
they
feel
safe.
N
The
only
thing
I
would
add
is
with
our
anti-crime
initiative.
You
probably
know
something:
that's
nothing
necessarily
new
in
law
enforcement
we're
trying
to
incorporate
best
practices.
You
know
using
data
focusing
target
focusing
on
areas
where
the
data
shows
the
most
crime
is
really
what
we've
done
in
more
recent
months.
L
And
so
I
I
will
end
with
this.
Certainly
we're
going
to
be
back
august
1st,
to
give
an
update
on
the
oir
report
and
I'll
just
say
that,
and
I
think
we're
all
aware
this
uptick
in
crime
is
is
certainly
happening
in
in
our
entire
region.
Quite
frankly-
and
I
would
say,
some
cities
are
are-
are
challenged
more
than
others
a
lot
more
than
others,
because
it's
beyond
just
property
crime
for
or
some
city,
so
I
think
we're
we're
we
are
are
focused
and
are
are
using
our
data.
L
The
right
way-
and
I
I
like
to
commend
the
men
and
women
of
the
bellevue
police
department,
because
they're
dedicated
to
this
effort-
and
this
will
continue
throughout
the
year.
So
thank
you
for
having
us.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
mariake.
Is
there
a
motion
to
approve
the
consent
calendar
I
moved.
Second,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
imposed.
K
Thank
you
mayor
and
council
members.
The
first
of
the
two
public
hearings
this
evening
is
on
a
land
use
code,
amendment
in
response
to
house
bill
1769,
which
sunset
of
the
bellevue
community
council
and
other
community
councils
in
washington
and
just
by
way
background.
This
matter
was
last
in
front
of
council
on
june
21st,
where
council
directed
staff
to
schedule
tonight's
public
hearing
and
to
prepare
an
ordinance
amending
the
city's
land
use
code
for
adoption.
So
joining
us
this
evening
are
nick
whipple,
our
planning
manager
and
caleb
miller
senior
planner
both
from
the
development
services.
A
O
Thank
you
and
good
evening,
mayor
robinson
members
of
the
council,
thank
you
for
having
us
here
this
evening
to
present
the
east
bellevue
community
council
sunset
luca
or
land
use
code.
Amendment.
O
So
our
agenda
will
provide
a
background
of
this
luca
and
the
objectives
we'll
go
into
the
details
of
the
luca
components.
We'll
also
describe
the
required
process
for
this
land
use
code.
Amendment
and
then
recap
the
direction
that
we
are
seeking
from
council.
O
So
the
former
east
bellevue
community
council,
jurisdictional
boundary,
is
shown
on
the
right
in
this
slide.
Here
the
area
is
generally
bounded
by
northeast
8th
to
the
north
156th
avenue
southeast
to
the
east,
and
then
the
southern
extent
of
the
boundary
is
to
the
south
edge
of
robbinswood
park,
the
western
edge
heads
through
kelsey
creek
and
then
up
through
the
glendale
golf
course.
O
O
The
east
bellevue
community
council
is
made
up
of
or
was
made
up
of,
five
residents
of
the
east
bellevue
area.
It
was
empowered
by
the
community
missile.
Excuse
me,
the
community
municipal
corporation
statute
or
chapter
3514
of
the
rcw
and
the
east
bellevue
community
council
had
approval
and
disapproval
authority
over
certain
land
use
actions
within
that
area.
O
So
in
this
past
legislative
session
house,
bill
1769
was
passed
into
law
and
it
amended
the
community
municipal
corporation
statute
to
sunset
community
councils
in
the
state.
This
sunset
occurred
on
july
9th,
given
the
east
bellevue
community
council's
ability
to
approve
or
disapprove
ordinances
over
the
past
five
or
so
decades.
O
There
are
inconsistencies
between
what
the
land
use
code
requirements
are
that
apply
city-wide
compared
to
what
applied
at
the
time
of
the
ebcc's
existence.
So
with
the
recent
termination
of
the
east
bellevue
community
council.
This
luca
is
intended
to
update
the
land
use
code
to
extend
citywide
our
regulations
into
the
former
east
bellevue
community
council
area
and
put
in
place
equitable,
consistent
and
predictable
set
of
provisions
for
bellevue.
P
P
So,
first
for
the
procedural
and
housekeeping
ones,
the
first
one
is
a
li
district
height
bonus.
This
was
availability
of
an
administrative
conditional
use
permit
to
increase
the
height
for
certain
uses
in
the
li
district.
This
does
not
have
an
effect
in
the,
however,
because
there
are
no
li
districts
in
the
ebcc.
P
Additionally,
the
homeless
services
uses
chapter
is
currently
not
applicable
within
the
ebcc
jurisdictional
area.
However,
these
uses
are
permitted
or
were
permitted
within
that
area
as
transient
lodging,
so
they
were
allowed,
but
this
luca
would
just
change
the
process
through
which
they
would
be
cited
in
the
former
ebcc
area.
P
P
Moving
on
to
the
more
substantive
amendments,
the
first
is
regarding
the
r
7.5
land
use
district.
This
was
not
recognized
within
the
ebcc
jurisdictional
area,
so
this
luca
would
revise
this
to
be
recognized
in
that
area.
However,
there
is
no
immediate
effect
here.
This
would
just
open
up
the
availability
of
a
rezone
for
certain
parcels
to
be
zoned
to
r
7.5,
particularly
those
where
there
is
a
applicable
comp
plan
designation
that
would
allow
it.
P
The
next
are
specific
land
use
table
provisions
within
the
ebcc
again,
some
that
are
only
applicable
and
some
that
are
not
applicable
within
the
ebcc
area.
These
include
things
like
city
parks,
senior
housing,
as
well
as
retail,
floor
area
limitations
in
the
cb
zone
and
then
a
height
bonus
for
below
grade
parking.
P
All
of
these
are
being
revised
to
be
applicable,
the
same
way
city-wide
and
then.
Finally,
on
this
list
is
the
residential
minimum
parking
requirements.
There
is
a
parking
reduction
that
is
available
for
residential
uses
within
a
certain
radius
of
frequent
transit
in
the
ebcc
that
was
limited
to
a
quarter
mile.
However,
the
remainder
of
the
city
that
radius
was
a
half
mile,
so
this
luca
would
revise
it
to
be
a
half
mile
city
wide
in
the
last
two
substantive
amendments.
The
first
is
for
trailers,
boats
and
large
vehicles
or
recreational
vehicles.
P
More
generally,
these
consolidate
and
simplify
the
regulations
around
recreational
vehicles
to
be
applicable,
city-wide
in
particular,
where
the
rv
can
be
parked
on
a
on
private
property,
as
well
as
any
screening
requirements
that
apply.
There
are
also
some
different
rules
that
were,
in
effect
between
the
ebcc
and
the
rest
of
the
city.
Regarding
how
long
an
rv
can
be
used
for
a
dwelling
unit,
this
luca
would
revise
that
to
a
maximum
of
30
days
with
a
temporary
use
permit
and,
finally,
the
definitions
in
the
land
use
code.
P
In
terms
of
the
review
process,
we
did
have
a
study
session
with
you
on
june
21st
and
then,
as
nick
noted,
the
ebcc
sunset
date
was
on
july
9th
of
this
year,
and
here
we
are
tonight
for
the
public
hearing
and
final
action
on
this.
I'll
also
note
that
all
process,
4
requirements
for
this
luca
have
been
met,
meaning
all
noticing
and
public
hearing
requirements.
A
Okay,
great,
thank
you
so
with
that,
is
there
a
motion
to
open
a
public
hearing.
B
Speak
yes,
thank
you
mayor
before
I
call
this
speaker.
I
would
like
to
point
out
that
there
was
one
written
comment
received
for
this
public
hearing.
It's
included
in
your
desk
packet
from
betsy
hammer
and
then
at
with
that,
I
will
call
betsy
hummer,
who
is
our
only
speaker
signed
up
this
year?

I
was
honored
to
be
elected
by
voters
in
in
east
bellevue
to
be

the
east
bellevue
community
council.
For
three
terms:
east
bellevue
community
council
was
sunsetted
during
the
past
state
legislative
session.
By
an
amendment
to
rcw
35.14
that
established
community
councils.
I
I
would
like
to
recognize
the
volunteers
who
came
before
me
and
served
with
me
number.
One
on
the
list
is
howard
wilson,
who
served
for
over
20
years.
He
was
the
first
chair
and
he
made
astounding
legislative
and
comments,
and
currently
his
estate
is
being
developed.
It's
called
havenswood
into
eight
of
the
mega
houses,
the
out
of
scale
homes.
Just
so
you
know
his

will
still
stay
there.
Then
we
have
daniel

thomas
craft,
rudolph,
gast,
donald
martin,
don
lemieux,
and
it's
actually
called
joseph

B
Q
Good
evening,
mayor
and
council,
I
know
this
public
hearing
can
undo
what's
been
done
by
the
passage
of
house
bill
1220,
but
I
do
want
to
share
some
thoughts.
I
had,
as
I
rewatched
the
public
hearing
on
that
bill
and
listened
to
the
comments
from
the
sponsor,
as
well
as
commenters
house
bill.
1220,
sponsor
representative
davina
doer
of
bothell.
Q
Neither
lives
in
nor
represents
an
area
with
a
community
council,
and
her
bill
was
quite
simply
a
political
favor
for
city
council
members
in
kirkland
and
bellevue
who
wanted
the
houghton
and
east
bellevue
community
councils.
Out
of
the
way
there
were
many
claims
made
about
those
two
community
councils
being
obstructionist
that
they
didn't
want
to
take
on
growth
that
they
were
supposed
to
take
on.
Q
Q
They
could
only
do
and
oppose
things
that
were
in
opposition
to
the
city's
own
comp
plan
and
that
sort
of
thing,
so
I
just
I
do
want
to
echo
what
betsy
had
to
say
in
that
moving
forward,
especially
in
that
area.
The
the
east
bellevue
community
council
area,
so
much
is
targeted
to
go
into
that
area
that
isn't
going
to
go
into
the
rest
of
the
city.
I
don't
think
that
they're
obstructionists,
I
think
that
they
were
simply
looking
out
for
their
folks.
Q
It
wasn't
a
second
bite
of
the
apple
we
I
as
a
neighborhood
leader,
who's
had
to
fight
for
our
own
neighborhood.
I
can
say
that
sometimes
there's
many
of
us
out
there
in
neighborhoods
that
feel
like
we
aren't
heard
at
the
city
that
special
interest
groups
developers
staff
that
they
all
have
your
ear,
where
we
don't,
and
the
community
councils
were
the
closest
thing
that
we
had.
Q
You
know
to
to
represent
our
interests,
so
I
hope
going
forward
that
you
will
listen
to
us
that
you
will
respect
us,
because
I
thought
it
was
very
interesting.
Divina
doer
was
caught
on
video
in
april
of
2022
at
the
yimbi
town
conference
in
portland
laughing
about
local
control,
calling
it
garbage
mocking
local
elected
officials
like
yourself.
Q
So
while
she
was
the
sponsor
taking
away
the
local
control
at
the
local
level
here
with
east
bellevue
community
council,
that's
not
to
say
that
it
won't
happen
to
you
too
someday,
and
I
I
just
want
you
to
remember
that.
Please
stand
up
for
us.
Thank
you.
A
O
Sure
so
the
rs
7.5
is
a
land-use
district.
That's
recognized
city-wide,
except
for
in
the
ebcc
jurisdictional
area
or
the
former
jurisdictional
area.
The
land-use
district
is
nested,
underneath
the
single
family
high
comp
plan
designation,
and
so
while
there
are
properties
that
are
zoned
r5,
which
is
appropriately
tied
to
that
single
family.
High
designation.
O
O
A
C
I'll
make
a
comment
and
then
I'll
make
the
motion.
Councilmember
elise
go
make
the
most
council
members
he
wants
to
make
the
ocean.
That's
fine,
okay,
so
I
I
really
think
that,
and
I
really
appreciate
what
the
commenters
said.
I
do
think
that
the
city
council
is
accountable
to
the
people
and
to
the
neighborhoods,
and
we
I've
always
felt
that
I
was
as
well.
You
know
we're
accountable
to
everyone
in
bellevue
and
I
think
that
we
will
always
continue
to
be,
but
this
ordinance
makes
us
one
bellevue
again.
C
S
Second,
the
office
of
my
council
member
colleague
said
you
know.
This
was
something
that
happened
a
long
time
ago
for
different
reasons,
and
I
think
it's
it's
really
a
positive
for
the
whole
city
and
it's
it's
putting
this
at
an
equitable
level.
Not
a
some
people
get
two
bites
of
the
apples.
Some
people
only
get
one
or
in
the
other
is
actually
everybody
is.
S
She
said,
we're
all
working
together
and
this
council
will
work
with
this
community
as
it
does
with
others
equitably,
and
actually
I
think
this
will
lead
us
to
a
better
bellevue
and
a
better
community
in
this
this
level,
and
we
will
be
clearly
working
towards
that
goal.
So
this
this
should
be
something
that's.
The
error
is
over
we're
moving
forward,
we're
moving
upward
and
we
work
together,
so
I
will
be
voting
for
it.
Also.
Thank
you.
D
Yeah,
I
just
want
to
say
I
appreciate
betsy
for
actually
showing
up
and
reading
the
list
of
the
of
the
people
that
have
previously
served
it's.
We
want
to
express
appreciation
and
recognition
for
the
many
years
of
service,
so
I
just
wanted
to
say
that.
A
Okay,
councilmember
lee,
would
you
like
to
make
the
motion.
R
R
You,
since
everybody
has
already
made
comments,
I
will
support
this
motion
because
it
is
timely.
R
We,
in
the
time
when
the
community
council
was
found
it's
for
very
specific
reasons,
because
bellevue
are
made
up
with
neighborhoods,
very
distinct,
distinguished
distinct
neighborhoods
and
they
each
have
different
characteristics
and
the
communities
different
represent
different
people
with
different
needs
and
characteristics.
So
I
think
it
has
evolved
with
the
purpose,
basically
of
listening
to
the
public,
the
neighborhoods
and
having
inputs,
it's
really
connecting
communicating
with
inputs
that
we
represent
the
neighborhoods,
the
city
that
we
can
deliberate
and
and
have
converse
and
make
decisions.
R
But
as
time
has
come
through
change
over
these
years,
I
think
we've
seen
that
the
city
council
has
been
doing
a
very
good
job.
You
know
the
city
has
been
well
represented
and
we
have
been
able
to
have
means
of
listening
and
talking
communicating
with
neighborhoods,
and
there
are
times
maybe
we
have
find
some
challenges,
but
this
is
just
part
of
course,
and
so
I
think
now
we
have
more.
As
you
can
see
the
council
members
very,
very
eager
always
wanting
to
reach
out.
We
have
a
wonderful
neighborhood
program.
R
R
Action
has
really
been
very
exemplary
of
representing
the
community,
and
I
hope
that
you
know
we
will
maintain
this
process
and
so
that
we
don't,
you
know,
deteriorate
what
the
public
the
citizen
may
be
asking
and,
of
course,
I
wish
that
you
know
we
went
through
the
process
a
number
of
years
ago,
where
two
community
councils,
one,
was
voted
out
by
its
own
neighborhoods,
and
this
one
obviously
would
be
great
if
the
neighbors
felt
it's,
it's
outlast
its
purpose
and
we
can
be
well
represented
the
way
it
is,
then
it
will
go
away,
but
in
this
case
it
has
not
happened,
but
the
state
law
has
required.
R
This
will
be
sunsetted
as
of
july
9
2022.
So
it's
happening,
and
I
believe
that
the
staff
has
done
a
great
job.
You
know
indicating
what
are
the
substantive
things
that
need
to
be
done
and
the
non-specific
ones.
Of
course,
I
think
it
makes
sense
they
go
away,
but
even
the
substantive
ones.
We
recognize
it.
We
see
the
differences
and
we
will
be
listening
to
you.
Hopefully
we
can
continue
this
process.
R
So
on
the
basis
of
that,
I
would
like
to
move
to
adopt
otherness
6670
amending
the
city
of
bellevue
land
use
code,
responding
to
the
state
termination
of
the
east
bellevue
community
council,
which
terminated
as
a
matter
of
law
on
july
9,
2022.
A
Quickly,
no,
no,
you
had
your
chance.
I
want
to
move
on.
Thank
you.
So
we
have
another
public
hearing.
Mr
miyake,
would
you
like
to
introduce.
K
Yourself
sure
mayor,
thank
you.
The
second
public
hearing
is
related
to
a
relinquishment
of
a
water
easement
and
by
way
background,
the
council
declared
this
easement
as
surplus
in
early
june
and
directed
staff
to
hold
the
public
hearing
this
evening.
So
joining
us
evening
for
a
brief
staff
report
are
ira,
daniel
assistant
director
and
lauren
macklick,
real
property
manager,
both
from
the
finance
and
management
finance
and
asset
management
department.
T
All
right,
thank
you,
mr
miyaki,
and
good
evening,
mayor
and
council
members
before
jumping
into
our
staff
report.
I
just
wanted
to
briefly
introduce
lauren
matlick,
he's
our
new
real
property
manager
and
we'll
be
transitioning
these
presentations
over
to
him
going
forward,
so
you'll
be
seeing
a
lot
more
lauren.
T
T
A
B
No
mayor,
we
do
not
have
any
pre-registered
speakers
this
evening,
so
at
this
point
I
would
ask
if
there's
anyone
joining
us
in
council
chambers
or
anyone
via
zoom.
That
would
like
to
make
comment.
Please
raise
your
hand.
A
A
A
K
Mayor
council
members,
the
first
study
session
topic
is
the
potential
november
2022
parks
and
community
services
ballot
measure.
Just
by
way
background.
Raising
additional
revenues
to
address
the
city's
growing
parks
and
community
service
needs
is
a
current
council
priority
and,
as
such,
the
council
has
discussed
this
matter
a
number
of
times,
most
recently
at
last
week's
council
meeting,
where
the
council
directed
staff
to
draft
ordinance
and
bout
links
for
feedback
at
tonight's
meeting.
K
So
tonight,
staff
are
seeking
council
direction
on
one
confirm
or
provide
changes
to
the
draft
ordinance
and
two
direct
staff
to
place
the
draft
lawrence
on
the
agenda
for
council
action
on
july
25th.
So
joining
us
this
evening
are
michael
shiestaki,
director
of
the
parks
and
community
services
department.
K
U
So,
let's
see
so,
why
don't
we
move
on
to
the
next
slide?
So
we
are
tonight
we're
asking
for
whoops.
Thank
you.
We
are
asking
for,
as
the
c
manager
just
mentioned,
confirmation
or
changes
to
the
draft
ordinance
and
direction
to
place
the
draft
ordinance
for
the
parks
levy
on
the
agenda
for
for
council
action
next
week
under
other
ordinances,.
U
Please
so
first,
I
will
just
quickly
provide
a
little
background
and
timeline
on
how
we
got
to
tonight.
U
As
just
mentioned,
so
we
are
responding
to
your
council
priority
to
advance
a
parks,
funding
strategy,
including
consideration
of
new
funding
sources
for
operations,
maintenance,
maintenance
and
capital
next
slide.
So
this
discussion
really
began
back
in
march.
At
your
council
budget
workshop
and
through
a
series
of
council
study
sessions,
we
have
discussed
a
comprehensive
list
of
potential
funding
strategies.
U
Then,
on
july
11th,
at
the
council
study
session,
we
we,
you
approved
the
85
million
package
of
capital
improvements
and
the
mechanism
which
is
a
nine
year
levy,
regular
levee,
lid,
lift
and
the
rate,
and
that
brings
us
to
today's
study
session
and
then
next
week
we
will
be
seeking
your
council
action
on
the
draft
ordinance
and
the
ballot
language.
U
So
this
is
the
approved
parts
ballot
measure
package
and
I
will
quickly
walk
you
through.
What's
in
the
package,
it's
what
you
approved
at
the
last
meeting.
So
in
the
left-hand
category
are
the
project
categories.
U
The
the
middle
column
shows
the
estimated
capital
for
each
one
of
those
categories
and
then
the
right-hand
column
shows
estimated
maintenance
and
operation
costs
on
an
annual
basis.
So
the
first
project
category
is
one
that
I
think
you
heard
a
little
bit
about
earlier
this
evening
and
in
our
park
system.
U
Next
on
the
list
emerging
sports-
and
this
includes
things
like
what
you
heard
about
tonight-
cricket
and
pickleball
and
off
leash
areas
in
the
city
and
then
the
last
line
item-
is
additional
maintenance
and
operations
funding
for
existing
facilities
in
the
system.
So
that's
a
quick
overview
of
what
is
in
the
package
and
next
slide,
please.
U
V
V
V
The
first
is
the
city
council
authorizes
to
determine
the
scope,
timing,
order
and
manner
of
funding
the
projects
and,
where
you're,
most
often
going
to
see
that
is
in
your
bi-annual
budget
deliberations
and
in
your
every
other
year
mid-biennium.
So
when
you're
adopting
the
budget,
the
capital
improvement
plan
would
have
levy
projects
in
it.
V
The
third
area
that
I
wanted
to
bring
to
your
attention
is:
the
state
law
does
provide
an
exemption
to
low-income
senior
citizens,
disabled
veterans
and
other
people
with
disabilities.
That
program
is
administered
through
the
king
county
assessor's
office,
and
they
use
the
guidelines
and
the
state
law
as
their
basis
for
administering
those
programs.
I
was
out
on
the
king
county
site
this
morning
and
for
a
low-income
senior
in
order
to
qualify
for
either
an
exemption
or
a
deferral
of
your
taxes.
V
The
maximum
income
is
fifty
eight
thousand
four
hundred
and
twenty
three
dollars
and
for
the
viewing
public.
If
you
are
interested
in
such
a
program,
I
encourage
you
to
go
out
to
kingcounty.gov
put
in
the
into
put
assessor
into
the
search
engine.
It'll
pop
right
up,
you'll
see
a
big
green
box
that
allows
you
to
apply
for
an
exemption
or
a
deferral
of
your
property
taxes
so
again
for
low-income
seniors,
disabled
veterans
and
other
people
with
disabilities,
and
the
last
provision
I
would
bring
to
your
attention
is
the
calling
of
the
election.
V
So
as
a
point
of
reference
for
a
million
dollar
property
owner.
What
that
equates
to
is
about
two
hundred
dollars
a
year
or
a
little
less
than
seventeen
17
a
month,
as
I
would
bring
to
your
attention.
The
city
council
can
only
adjust
the
tax
base
for
the
10
percent
of
overall
taxes
that
a
property
owner
pays
so
in
bellevue
your
average
property
owner.
V
U
So
the
next
steps
are
to
adopt
an
ordinance
explaining
the
the
measure
and
the
ballot
language,
as
it
will
appear
on
the
november
ballot,
and
if
the
council
approves
the
ordinance,
the
city
clerk
will
follow
with
additional
legislation
to
appoint
pro
and
con
committees
to
prepare
statements
for
the
local
voters.
Pamphlet
for
council
action
at
your
next
meeting
on
july
25th
and
sorry
about
that.
U
Once
again,
our
requested
direction
is
confirmation
or
changes
to
the
draft
ordinance
and
direction
to
place
the
ordinance
for
the
levy
on
the
agenda
for
council
action
at
your
next
meeting
under
other
ordinances.
S
Oh
yeah,
thank
you
mayor,
I'm
very
excited
about
this.
I
think
we
have
robust
conversations
both
at
the
parks
board,
both
within
the
community
and
at
the
council
and
had
a
you
know.
The
parks
board,
I
think,
has
done
over
the
last
couple
of
years
an
amazing
job
of
kind
of
putting
this
together
listening
to
the
community
and,
of
course,
that
we've
heard
from
various
organizations
as
we
had
tonight
coming
and
talking
with
us,
it's
been
a
really
broad
look
at
what
we
need
in
recreation
in
people
wanting
to
get
outdoors.
S
We
want
all
these
different
things
and
also
sports
a
wide
range
of
things
that
are
encompassed
in
this,
and
it
really
builds
on
a
great
system
we
have
with
you
know
had
before
and
are
completing
this
section
for
the
parks
over
the
last
since
2008,
and
it's
just
been
an
amazing
difference
in
helping
bellevue
go
forward.
So
I'm
very
excited
about
this.
I
think
the
public's
ready
for
this,
the
public
is
very
interested.
I
think
we
made
a
very
rational
decision
on
this.
C
Sure,
no,
I
I
like
wise.
I
appreciate
you
coming
back,
I'm
I'm
comfortable
with
the
explanation
on
flexibility.
I
think
this.
This
is
really
important.
It's
one
parks
are
one
of
the
things
that
make
bellevue
livable
and
make
us
a
place
where
people
want
to
work,
so
they
can
get
outside
on
their
lunch
or
visit.
Our
visit
a
lot
of
people
come
and
visit
our
parks
so
from
outside
of
bellevue
and
and
we're
not
creating
more
unimproved
land
so
acquiring
the
open
space.
C
While
we
can
in
order
to
serve
the
people
that
we
know
are
coming
to
work
and
live
in
bellevue,
I
think
is
really
important
and
the
time
is
now
one
ask.
I
have
not
to
change
the
ordinance,
but
I'm
wondering
if
on
slide
six,
where
you
talk
about
the
initiative
package,
a
lot
of
these
categories
have
the
eg
in
parentheses.
C
I
would
love
to
see
next
to
emerging
sports
eg
cricket
pickleball,
because
that
way,
it's
very
clear
that
that's
what
we
mean.
I
know
that
that
will
not
be
on
the
ballot,
but
it
a
lot
of
people
will
look
at
these,
and
I
remember
when
I
was
new
on
the
council.
Looking
back
at
the
last
park
levy,
looking
at
the
council
materials
to
figure
out
what
what
had
been
promised
to
the
voters
as
we
made
decisions
on
the
cip
to
implement
that.
A
At
where
it
is
is
it
is,
it
exhibit
a
to
the
ordinance
to
the
ordinance.
So,
yes,
we
would
need
to
amend
it,
but
I
don't
know
that
there's
there's
a
problem
with
that:
okay,.
C
Well,
I
don't
I,
I
would
make
a
motion
to
just
add
a
parenthesis:
eg
cricket,
comma
pickleball,
next
to
emerging
sports.
I
think
that
will
help
people
understand.
We
have
a
lot
of
people
wanting
to
do
cricket
we've
been
talking
about
doing
cricket.
I
think
that
will
help.
C
Okay
and
then
yeah
that'll
make
a
much
into
amend.
I
didn't
realize
it
was
attached
to
the
ordinance.
I
thought
it
was
just
an
internal
staff
fix,
but
anyway
I
strongly
support
this
and
we'll
be
voting
in
favor
of
moving
this
on
for
action
next
week.
Thanks.
D
Rezan,
yes,
thank
you.
I
support
this
as
well.
I
think
that
it's
it's
an
important
aspect
of
a
growing
city
that
we
support
parts
and
open
space
that
our
community's
been
asking
for
and
moving
faster
with
that
work.
I
I
do
support
council
member
robertson's
request
to
add
those,
because
we
do
have
other
line
items
that
have
the
for
example
areas
so
including
that
will
be
important.
D
I
did
have
one
question,
and
maybe
I
wasn't
as
clear
on
the
actual
language
that
would
be
in
the
voters
pamphlet.
So
in
the
powerpoint
presentation
you
it
has
to
a
maximum
rate
of
1.19
per
thousand,
but
in
our
packet
it
talks
about
1.1944
per
thousand.
D
So
it
is
this
a
an
updated
version
that
we're
seeing
on
the
powerpoint
different
than
in
our
packet,
because
and
and
the
main
reason
I'm
asking
is
because
that
is
the
maximum
we're
asking
for,
and
then
I
read
that
the
0.15
is
approximate.
So
if
I
take
the
1.19
I'm
just
in
my
head
trying
to
understand
the
math,
then
really,
what
we're
saying
is
the
the
maintenance
and
operation
portion
is
the
0.05.
D
V
Councilman,
that's
a
very
good
question:
I'm
going
to
defer
part
of
the
question
to
stacey
in
a
minute,
but
I'm
going
to
answer
your
math
question
first
and
then
I'll.
Let
stacy
speak
to
the
word
approximately
and
whether
the
rate
has
to
be
1.944
or
1.19
so
I'll.
Leave
that
to
stacey
in
a
second
the
1.9
you
see
here
is
the
maximum
that
the
council
could
choose.
If
you
chose
to
include
100
of
your
bank
capacity
in
your
december
discussion,
since
you
have
none,
you
have
not
had
any
of
those
discussions.
V
The
number
that
is
here
is
the
maximum.
The
city
could
possibly
levy.
If
you
chose
to
not
do
that
at
all,
the
total
maximum
would
be
something
close
to
a
dollar
five
or
something
along
those
lines.
But
in
order
to
preserve
your
discussion
for
the
further
budget
discussions
later
in
the
year,
it
is
common
practice
to
have
the
total
maximum
that
would
be
allowed
under
the
city
by
your
authority.
If
you
so
chose
to
make
it
at
this
point
and
then,
when
you
come
to
december,
you
can
choose
whatever
you
would
like
to
do.
X
Of
course,
good
evening
city,
council
members,
the
levy
lidl
of
statute
requires
the
ballot
proposition
to
include
the
maximum
rate
per
thousand
and
to
include
that
maximum
rate
per
thousand
of
the
first
year
of
collections.
So
here
we
are
in
2022,
trying
to
come
up
with
the
maximum
rate
per
thousand
for
collection
in
2023
that
taking
into
account
things
like
the
city's
bank
capacity.
X
The
one
percent
that
you
could
by
state
law
include
new
construction,
so
the
ballot
proposition
having
to
include
that
maximum
rate
per
thousand
does
present
some
challenges.
But
that's
simply
what
the
statute
requires.
X
D
Okay,
so
I'm
just
going
to
say
I
misread
this
completely.
I
thought
it
was
0.19,
so
I
needed
to
read
that
more
carefully,
but
you
know
when
we
see
a
bunch
of
these
in
here
it
just
for
the
regular
voters
that
don't
see
a
lot
of
these,
it
might
be
a
little
confusing
and
trying
to
understand
what
the
word
approximately
is
intended
to
mean.
I
don't
know
if,
in
the
other
descriptions,
there's
a
little
bit
more
stuff
there.
So
thank
you
for
the
explanation.
R
Thank
you
before
I
comment.
I
would
like
to
follow
up
with
the
zhang's
question.
I
think
this
is
very
confusing
it's
difficult
for
people
to
understand,
including,
as
you
see
some
of
us,
you
actually
talk
about
two
things.
One
is
what
is
the
larvae
rate
for
the
larvae
specifically,
which
is
0.15
plus
0.05?
R
R
V
City
bellevue
right
now
is
about
I'm
rounding
in
my
head,
so
I
can't
give
you
an
exact
number,
but
it's
something
around
85
cents,
I'm
close,
I'm
close
to
85
cents.
Yes,
I'm
I'm
close
there
by
the
time
you
add
in
the
20
cents,
for
the
parks,
levy,
85
and
20
equals
a
dollar
five
yeah
about
give
or
take,
and
I'm
rounding
in
my
head.
So
please
forgive
me
if
I'm
about
to
come
out
of
rounding,
it's
not
going
to
work
out
quite
so.
V
V
So
you
add
that
in
that
allow
gets
you
up
to
your
maximum
available
rate
that
you
could
adopt
in
december.
What
we're
asking
for
today
is
for
15
cents
to
go
to
the
parks
levy
for
capital
and
five
cents
for
maintenance
and
operations.
It
preserves
your
rights
in
december,
for
whatever
you
may
choose
to
do
in
december,
but
today
we
are
purely
asking
for
that.
V
This
legislation
is
statutory
required
for
us
to
put
the
maximum
rate
in
and
if
we
chose
a
number
that
didn't
include
all
that
your
authorities
would
do,
and
you
chose
that
authority.
I
would
have
limited
your
abilities
in
december,
so
this
provides
you
ultimate
flexibility
to
do
as
you
choose
in
december
when
you
adopt
the
budget,
but
to
be
clear,
what
we're
asking
for
is
a
15
cent
levy
for
capital
and
a
five
cent
levy
for
maintenance
and
operations,
and
the
challenge
with
the
language
is
truly
how
its
statutory
is
required
to
be
written
stacey.
R
X
R
V
R
R
A
footnote
somewhere,
everybody
can
explain
this.
That
might
be
the
way
to
handle.
So
we
know
that
your
your
parks
levy
request
is
going
to
be
0.5
and
0.05,
even
though
this
and
you
have
to
show
this
absolutely
based
on
law.
So
maybe
that's
what
you
need
to
say
in
your
lobby,
okay,
but
it
doesn't
mean
that
that's
going
to
be
available
for
the
parks
life.
V
V
X
I
will
confirm
that
the
maximum
rate,
the
overall
maximum
rate,
is
what
the
statute
requires,
and
it
presents
exactly
this.
This
communication
issue
of
levying
a
specific
amount
for
the
parks
levy
and
having
to
communicate
the
overall
maximum
levy
rate.
We
did
include
some
recitals
in
the
ordinance
to
try
to
walk
through
the
you
know,
the
existing
rate,
the
rate
with
taking
to
account
bank
capacity,
the
20
cents
increase
to
get
to
the
maximum
rate
and
could
add
more
detail.
If
that
would
be
helpful
in
those
those
building
block.
R
That
might
complicate
it.
I
don't
know
whether
or
not
you
know
with
the
bank
capacity.
We
have
that
much
more.
We
can
use
okay
because
we're
only
0.8.
R
A
V
All
this
does
is
preserve
your
right
to
use
it
if
you
so
chose
to
in
when
you
make
your
final
property
tax
assessment
for
2023,
which
will
not
make
that
decision
until
I'm
going
to
go
with
november,
but
all
it
does
is
preserve
your
rights
to
have
true
complete
flexibility.
Staff
has
made
no
decisions
for
you,
because
you've
given
no
direction
is
thank
you
yeah.
R
Thanks,
that's
another
confusion,
see
we
could
understand.
Okay,
just
get
back
to
the
presentation
lab
itself.
I
appreciate
that
very
good.
You
guys
did
a
wonderful
job
address
all
the
needs
and
beverages
the
city
in
the
park.
You
know
we
always
need
to
have
more,
obviously,
but
we
have
to
be
diligent
right
surprises
and
I
think
we've
looked
at
all
the
things
that
you
mentioned,
such
as
on
your
list.
R
R
Some
sometimes
I
feel
that
if
you
want
to
be
specific,
you
sometimes
can
can
lose
the
inclusiveness
and
lose
the
flexibility
lose
the
fl.
You
know
because
people
are
gonna
well,
there
may
be
others
as
we
go
by
that
you
figure
could
be,
but
I
don't
know
what's
the
list,
I
haven't
looked
at
the
whole
list,
whether
it's,
including
everything
or
not,
but
so
I
think,
by
giving
example
of
one
or
two.
R
I
think
that's
probably
all
right,
but
I
think
we
need
to
say
such
as
maybe
not
for
those
people
can
perceive
as
well.
I
miss
my
thing
right.
I
I
like
to
play
something
else
whatever
which
I
can
erase
before,
but
so
I
I
think,
that's
by
my
only
concern,
so
I'm
not
sure
whether
this
necessarily
need
to
be
clear,
but
I
like
the
idea
of
flexibility.
R
I
like
the
idea
of
because
time
change
and
we're
going
to
hear
more
from
the
people,
and
when
you
provide
the
lobby,
you
know
I
would
imagine
we
listen
to
the
we
hear
from
the
public.
They
all
want
to
have
more
input
to
us.
So
when
you
do
your
obvious,
this
life
is
going
to
be
informed.
You
know
to
the
public.
We
may
hear
things
that
we
we
agree.
It's
important
to
add
to
so
I
like
that
very
much.
So
thank
you
for
including
that
other
than
that
I
support
it.
Thank
you.
Y
All
right,
thank
you.
I
support
the
ordinance.
I
did
have
one
recommendation,
but
before
I
get
to
that,
I
do
support
council
member
robertson's
amendment.
When
it
comes
up,
can
you
go
back
to
the
ordinance
slide?
Please.
Y
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
the
comments.
The
comment
I
had
in
mind
prior
to
that
is,
if
we
could
just
use
plain
language
so,
for
example,
instead
of
the
15
cents
divided
by
1000
right,
because
it's
not
the
divided
by
it's
per
1000,
I
think
it
would
make
it
easier
if
we
could
just
use
the
terms
there.
So
people
aren't
confused
and
I
don't
know
if
that's
possible,
but
one
thing
that
might
clear
up
the
levy
amount
versus
the
total
amount
or
maximum
rate
is
to
make,
is
to
have
the
maximum
rate
as
a
separate
sentence.
Y
That
basically
samurai
like
says
that
the
maximum
rate
for
collection
in
2023
is
blah
blah
right.
So
you
still
have
the
same
language,
but
it
just
breaks
breaks
up
the
sentence
a
little
bit,
so
people
can
make
sense
of
it.
Z
So
this.
V
Z
The
ballot
title
is
something
ultimately
that
is
to
be
drafted
by
the
city
attorney.
There
are
legal
limits
and
there
are
word
limits,
so
we
have
valiantly
tried
to
stay
within
the
legal
limits
and
the
and
the
word
limits
here,
which
is
why
I
think
you're
seeing
the
language
the
the
way
that
it
is
so
you
know
we
can
certainly
take
back
and
consider
your
comments,
I'm
not
sure
if
we
can
accommodate
them
within
the
bounds
of
the
legal
restrictions
that
we
have
to
deal
with.
Z
We
certainly
share
that
goal,
because
this
whole
thing
is
supposed
to
be
understandable
by
the
voters,
so
whether
we
can
accommodate
it
in
the
title,
whether
there's
some
other
way,
we
can
accommodate
it
through
explanatory
statements
and
the
voter
pamphlet
I
we'd
certainly
share.
You
know
the
goal
of
making
sure
the
voters
actually
understand
what
they're
voting
on.
A
A
So
if
we
could
reach
all
those
groups
that
would
that
would
be
great.
That's
a
very
good
idea.
Thank
you.
Okay,
thank
you.
So
let
me
see
councilmember
robertson
you're
going
to
make
the
motion
tonight.
Do
you
want
to
go
ahead
and.
C
N
C
C
I'll
make
a
motion.
I
move
to
direct
staff
to
prepare
the
ordinance
as
drafted
for
consideration
and
final
action
on
july
25th
2022..
Oh.
C
A
Okay,
let's
have
a
vote
on
that
amendment,
any
comments
or
questions
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
aye
any
opposed
okay.
So
the
amended
motion
is
on
the
table,
any
comments
or
questions
on
that
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
opposed.
Okay,
so
that
passes.
Thank
you
great.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very.
U
A
We'll
see
it
again
on
july
25th,
okay,
we
have
two
other
study
session
items,
mr
miyake
sure.
K
Thank
you
mayor
and
council
members.
The
next
study
session
topic
is
an
informational
overview
of
the
cascade
water
alliance's
draft
2023-2024
budget
and
rate
increases
tonight.
The
cascade
water
line
staff
will
provide
the
an
information
overview
and
council
will
have
an
opportunity
to
ask
questions
of
the
cascade
staff
as
well
as
provide
input
to
council
member
barksdale,
who
represents
bellevue
on
the
cascade
board.
Who
will
be
taking
a
vote
on
the
budget
sometime?
I
believe
in
september.
K
AA
AA
Cascade
is
an
important
regional
partner
for
bellevue
belv
purchases
over
half
of
cascade's
water
supply
and
the
cost
that
we
pay
to
cascade
are
the
bellevue
water
utilities
largest
bill.
The
cascade
board,
as
mr
miaki
mentioned,
is
scheduled
to
adopt
the
proposed
23.24
budgeted
rate
increases
in
september
and
with
that
I'm
very
pleased
to
introduce
ray
hoffman
cascade
ceo
and
ed
sieben,
a
cascade's
chief
economist.
AB
Cascade's
finance
committee
and
board
of
directors
have
been
working
on
budget
and
rates
since
early
spring,
and
the
feedback
and
input
that
we
have
received
from
bellevue
has
been
invaluable
in
the
development
of
a
solid
budget
and
rates
proposal,
one
that
provides
both
cost-effective
wholesale
water
supply
services
and
accountability
to
your
customers
when
they
pay
their
utility
bill
next
slide.
Please.
AB
AB
AC
Thank
you
ray
next
slide,
please
a
quick
overview
of
kind
of
this
big
picture
and
then
we'll
dive
in
a
little
bit.
The
cascade
budget
for
the
upcoming
biennium
will
focus
on
2023
here
shows
about
55
million
dollars
in
revenues
and
uses,
and
this
chart
illustrates
the
way
we
collect
and
apply
revenues.
AC
Next
slide.
Please,
on
the
expenditure
side,
the
proposed
budget
at
cascade,
particular
in
o
m,
which
is
the
portion
supported
by
member
charges,
is
predominantly
fixed
in
nature.
Cascade,
doesn't
control
the
payments
to
seattle,
which
is
a
fixed
block
contract
with
a
specified
method
that
determines
the
annual
charges.
AC
AC
This
is
actually
caused
by
the
bond
refunding
that
occurred
after
the
adoption
of
the
2022
budget
that
resulted
in
almost
600
000
a
year
of
savings,
but
you'll
also
see
a
bit
of
a
spike
in
2024,
which
is
essentially
an
anomaly
of
the
debt
repayment
schedule
where
the
refunded
and
unrefunded
bonds
have
kind
of
an
uncomfortable
fit
for
one
year
the
following
years.
It
drops
back
to
that
9.2
million
dollar
level.
AC
AC
Our
major
expenditures
coming
up
relate
to
in
the
upper
conveyance
to
the
completion
of
of
our
diversion
of
the
new
diversion
dam
on
the
white
river
and
that's
scheduled
for
2023.
AC
Other
major
efforts
in
upcoming
years
then
include
lower
conveyance,
where
we
have
control
and
conveyance
issues
related
to
the
pen,
stocks
and
release
of
water
from
lake
taps,
ultimately,
back
to
the
white
river.
Other
projects
are
significant,
but
smaller
of
scale
and
more
of
an
ongoing
maintenance.
You'll
notice,
the
bellevue
issaquah
pipeline,
which
is
a
major
facility
from
our
east
side.
Road,
the
seattle
eastside
reservoir
that
supplies
bellevue,
issaquah
and
sammamish
plateau
has
a
couple
of
major
provisions
in
upcoming
years
related
to
possible
relocations.
AC
Due
to
washed
up
and
other
highway
work,
the
other
notable
item
here
is
the
ins
in
our
seattle
agreement.
We
that
we've
had
three
one-time
payments,
the
last
of
which
is
due
in
2024.,
it's
five
million
dollars,
so
you
see
a
jump
upwards
in
2024,
reflecting
that
payment
and
then
moderately
constant
amounts
thereafter.
AC
Next
slide,
please
looking
at
the
revenue
in
the
same
way,
we
just
looked
at
an
expenses.
One
of
the
advantages
cascade
has
compared
to
most
enterprises
and
utility
enterprises.
Is
we
have
a
highly
fixed
revenue
structure?
That's
consistent
with
our
highly
fixed
cost
structure,
but
effectively
with
the
adoption
in
september.
We'll
know
exactly
what
amount
of
revenue
we'll
collect
from
members
in
2023
and
in
2024.
AC
Looking
at
this,
in
terms
of
percentage
increases,
you'll
see
what
I
had
noted
regarding
administrative
conservation
costs
they're
essentially
unchanged
over
these
two
years.
The
demand
share
charges
which
cover
most
of
the
other.
Almost
all
of
the
other
operating
costs
are
going
up
a
little
more
significantly
and
our
drivers
are
the
2.2
percent.
AC
You
see
the
regional
capital
facilities.
Charges
jumps
up
quite
a
bit
in
2023.
This
does
not
reflect
a
rate
increase
as
much
as
it
reflects
an
assumption
that
we
are
returning
to
normal
and
historical
growth
patterns.
AC
And
finally,
as
I
mentioned,
other
revenues
are
going
up
somewhat,
with
the
expectation
of
higher
interest
earnings
and
our
investment
of
funds
in
more
in
higher
yielding
investments
which
was
part
of
the
wsdf
package
next
slide
as
to
the
rates
themselves.
What
we're
looking
at
is
a
2.2
increase
year
over
year
in
member
charges.
That's
a
little
under
a
million
dollars
each
year.
An
increase
this
table
provides
a
breakdown.
W
AC
Of
the
drivers
of
that
annual
change,
you'll
see
the
water
payments
line,
which
are
our
payments
to
seattle,
for
water
under
the
wholesale
contract
are
of
a
scale
comparable
to
the
overall
increase,
but
there
are
other
factors
of
increases
and
decreases,
and
you
see
the
debt
service
decline,
for
example,
in
this
slide
again
and
finally,
the
last
line
in
this
table
rate
smoothing
is
part
of
our
package
of
fiscal
policies
that
we
look
at
a
five-year
rate
period
and
try
to
smooth
out
increases
over
that
period.
AC
AC
Next
slide
the
member
payments
themselves,
while
2.2
is
our
overall
increase,
it
does
vary
by
member.
The
variation
is
caused,
most
predominantly
by
the
amount
of
water
used
and
under
our
structure,
the
amount
of
water
used
in
the
peak
summer
season
and
that
causes
differential
impacts,
we're
seeing
more
a
wider
range
of
impacts
this
time
than
we've
seen
in
other
cycles.
AC
In
part.
This
is
because
redmond's
pattern
of
use
has
changed
and
they're
actually
seeing
reduction
this
year
in
part,
because
we've
had
several
members,
including
bellevue,
who
have
had
higher
relative
shares
of
peak
demands
than
they
have
historically
more
peaking,
dry
summers
and
more
lawn
watering,
but
more
so
than
our
average
member
and
that's
shifting
costs
towards
bellevue
and,
as
an
example
took
willa,
is
the
opposite,
where
they
don't
have
as
much
peaking
and
their
flattening
demand
results
in
lower
costs.
I
will
say
that
these
charges
at
this
level
are
still
somewhat
preliminary.
AC
We've
raised
a
number
of
questions
back
to
members
who
provide
us
data
that
drives
this
allocation
to
ensure
that
the
allocations
are
are
consistent
with
intent
and
are
accurate.
So
there
could
be
modifications
to
this.
Going
forward,
my
last
point
here
is:
we
are
modifying
one
practice
of
cascade
in
this
cycle.
AC
AC
AC
As
we've
gone
through
this
we've
also,
we
continuously
pay
attention
to
our
cost
structure
and
our
expenditures.
We
also
look
at
revenues
and
revenue
opportunities
and
the
fact
the
board
is
directed
that
we
look
for
opportunities
to
generate
revenues
from
lake
taps
where
possible.
AC
There
are
a
series
of
of
actions
listed
here
that
relate
to
how
we
went
into
and
through
the
budget
process,
the
debt
the
boundary
funding
I
mentioned
earlier.
We
also
have
our
eye
on
a
potential
bond
refunding
in
2024,
although
rising
interest
rates
may
not
make
that
as
attractive
the
seattle.
True
up,
we
have
mechanisms
in
place
to
mitigate
that
impact
from
from
rates
near
term
by
holding
reserves
that
we
then
use
in
a
year
like
2023
to
offset
it.
AC
That
means
half
the
money
goes
to
that
reserve
for
future
supply.
But
the
other
half
remains
available
for
current
needs
and
has
helped
hold
down
our
rates
and
hold
hold
the
line
on
our
rates,
which
had
been
projected
to
be
2.2
percent
and
despite
recent
upticks
in
cap,
capital,
cost
expenditure
indices
and
consumer
price
indices,
we've
been
able
to
hold
the
2.2
percent
for
this
biannual
next
slide,
please.
AC
So
what
this
comes
down
to
for
the
board
in
september,
we'll
be
making
recommendations
on
rates
which
would
include
the
2.2
percent
per
year
overall
increase
and
the
member
charges
that
go
with
that
that
you
saw
on
that
earlier
slide.
AC
AC
AC
With
that,
that's
the
summary
of
the
financial
elements
and
ray,
and
I
are
ready
to
answer
questions.
A
Okay,
thank
you
so
councilmember
barksdale.
Do
you
want
to
start
us
off.
Y
Yes,
thank
you
mayor.
I
first
just
want
to
say
thanks
to
ray
and
ed
and
the
rest
of
the
cascade
staff
for
their
work
and
putting
this
budget
presentation
together
and
their
responsiveness
and
working
with
utility
staff
as
well
and
want
to
thank
utility
staff
for
that
work
too.
Thank
you.
Y
With
that
three
point,
I
think
it
was
three
point
three
two
point:
six
percent
and
one
of
the
things
that
is
happening
is
city
staff,
our
utility
staff,
cascade
staff
and
other
member
city
staff
are
working
together
to
figure
out
why
that
number
is
as
high
as
it
is,
and
so,
when
ed
was
hinting
or
indicating
that
that
number
may
change
because
of
the
work
that's
happening,
that's
what's
happening
right
now,
to
figure
out
what
that
why
the
consumption
is
what
it
is
just
overall,
I
know
we
ended
on
the
cost,
containment
or
mitigation
strategies,
but
just
want
to
continue
to
encourage
cascade,
to
continue
to
look
for
cost
containment
strategies.
Y
Just
given
the
stretch
that
many
of
our
community
members
right
now
are
facing,
with
inflation
and
just
the
increased
cost
of
living
right
now
with
that
I'll,
just
turn
it
over
to
becky
mayer
and
look
forward
to
everyone's
comments.
S
Thank
you
mayor.
I
don't
have
much
to
add.
I
appreciate
councilmember
comments
and
and
participation
on
this,
and
it
is
you
know,
everybody's
in
a
weird
time,
and
we
didn't
think
about
looking
at
this
way.
You
know
in
the
past,
but
I
think
the
the
level
of
collaboration
and
cooperation
has
been
very
good,
and
this
is
a
very
straightforward
presentation
and
it
is
interesting.
S
We've
had
higher
in
some
places
higher
consumption
other
factors
in
this,
but
overall,
given
the
inflation
in
general
and
the
unsettlement
in
the
the
you
know,
financial
community
and
everything.
This
is
pretty
pretty
steady,
pretty
rational
proposal
at
this
point
and
obviously
before
we
get
to
final
decision,
we'll
be
working
some
more
on
this,
and
I
know
the
the
utility
staff
has
really
been
working
hard
on
this
to
help
to
work
with
the
cascade
staff.
And
you
know
it
involves
working
the
other
cities
as
well.
S
So
it's
a
it's
a
very
unique
process
and
very
unique
organization,
and
the
whole
goal
is
to
supply
water
and
other
pieces
of
that
whole
whole
concept
at
reasonable
rates
and
and
keep
it
all
work
it
all
in
line
and
make
it
work
better.
And
so
it's
just,
I
think,
there's
really
good
work
done
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
the
last.
You
know
having
it
finalized
and
some
of
these
things
we're
looking
at
and
moving
forward
and
hearing
response
from
utility
as
well.
R
Thank
you,
hi
ray
and
dad
I
miss
working
with
you
guys.
Likewise,
thank
you.
You
know.
I
know
that
you
have
a
tough
job
and
number
one
to
regional
issue.
We
look
at
a
lot
of
different
jurisdictions.
They
may
have
different
needs
right
and
different
requirements
and
different
situations.
R
Second,
you
know
this
is
a
very
challenging
environment
with
the
water
supply,
with
what
you
do.
The
purpose
originally
of
lake
tabs
is
why
now
things
are
changing
the
the
water
price
in
seattle
and
supply
is
changing,
so
you
got
to
be
really
nimble
and
flexible,
and
so
I'm
really
glad
that
with
ad
and
helping
you
guys
ray
and
your
staff,
you
have
been
able
to
meet,
you
know
and
the
challenges
and
being
flexible,
hopefully
continue
to
be
even
more
nimble
to
take
advantage
of
all
these
situations.
R
One
good
example
is
that
you
refinance
your
debts
and
that's
a
big
coup.
I
made
a
big
difference
and
you're
making
good
decisions
and
I
hope,
by
collaborating
with
the
bell
utility
you're
working
well,
because
I
think
we
share
a
lot
of
the
same
principles,
a
lot
of
the
same
goals
and
same
ideas,
and
you
know
it
that
doesn't
change.
R
So
I
appreciate
what
you
guys
are
doing.
So
you
know
this
is
the
way.
This
is
what
it
is.
You
know
you
have
to
balance
your
budget.
You
have
to
do
whatever
you
have
to
do
and
then
you
work
with
our
staff,
and
I
think
both
party
is
very
collaborative
working.
A
great
you
know,
give
and
take
and
we're
going
to
take
care
of
our
constituents.
The
residents
are
the
ones
that's
going
to
pay
our
bill.
R
So
I
think
we'll
understand
that,
and
one
thing
that
I
really
appreciate
is
the
tool
and
the
late
taps.
That's
a
really
interesting
thing
that
we
all
need
to
learn.
So
I
encourage
council
members
take
a
tool
I
like
tabs,
you
learn
so
much
if
you
talk
about
the
solar
panel
on
the
you
know,
on
the
the
power
powerhouse,
you
know
it's
amazing
the
history
it
has
and
the
things
that
you
get
to
see
and
you
gotta
actually
see
a
real
fish,
how
we
take
care
of
them.
R
So
my
question,
I
have
a
question
for
you.
However,
even
though
you
know,
I
think
most
people
probably
don't
know
that
I
just
want
to
re.
Ask
you
mention
seattle
agreement.
We
know
we
buy
water
from
them
right
and
so
the
rate's
been
going
down,
which
is
good.
We
take
advantage
of
it,
and
so
we
have
room
for
you,
know,
negotiation
and
talk
about
other
opportunities.
R
AC
Okay,
we
first
entered
into
an
agreement
with
tacoma
in
the
early
2000s
sometime
around
2005,
with
the
intent
to
buy
water
from
them,
construct
a
pipeline
and
supplement
the
seattle
agreement.
AC
It
turned
out
that
that
original
vision
became
unnecessary
because
our
demands
were
not
increasing
and
about
12
years
ago
we
started
going
a
different
direction.
We
successfully
extended
the
contract
with
seattle.
In
the
meantime,
we
had
supplemented
the
block
with
additional
water
from
seattle,
so
we
didn't
have
that
supply
risk
and
we
proceeded
to
renegotiate
the
contract
with
tacoma.
AC
AC
A
part
of
that
restructuring
was
a
payment
structure
that
you
see
in
our
capital
improvement
program
of
annual
capacity
reservation
payments.
Those
are,
they
began
at
five
million
dollars
they
escalate
at
about
100
000
a
year
and
until
2029,
at
which
point
they
drop
to
a
million
dollars,
and
then
progress
at
that
level.
R
AB
AB
We
hope
to
wrap
up
the
financial
assumptions
within
the
next
month
or
two,
and
then
we
would
move
to
other
large
ticket
items
for
discussion.
Okay
with
seattle,
such
as.
C
That's
okay!
I
just
wanted
to
know
where
we
were
on
the
status.
So
thank
you
very
very
much
for
that.
The
you
were
said
you
were
going
to
true
up
the
numbers
on
the
proposed
payments.
It
seems
to
me
that
with
the
cold
wet
spring
and
summer
very
well,
we
could
have
lower
usage
by
bellevue
this
year
because
of
the
weather.
I
know
the
last
summer
I
had
a
very,
very
high
water
bill
for
irrigation,
but
this
summer
it's
been
kind
of
a
normal
bill
like
any
other
time
of
the
year.
C
So
will
when
will
you
be
doing
that
and
will
it
take
into
account
the
colder
wetter
spring
and
summer,
which
may
have
affected
people's
usage
of
water
via
irrigation?.
AC
Right
for
us
to
impose
a
year's
charges,
we
need
a
three-year
history
for
2023
that
history
is
2019
to
2021.
for
2024.
We
have,
we
will
have
to
include
the
2022
year,
which
obviously
hasn't
been
completed
next
spring.
When
we
get
the
data
from
we'll
have
all
the
seattle
data,
and
then
we
collect
data
from
our
members,
we'll
be
able
to
analyze
2022
and
determine
how
well
we
estimated
the
charges
that
will
be
imposed
in
2024.
AC
all
right,
you're
right
with
with
the
wet
cool
summer,
and
you
know
no
major
hot
spells
in
sight
like
we
had
last
year.
Irrigation
demands
are
down
and
that
will
be
reflected
in
all
our
members
use.
But
we
have
some
members
like
yourselves
and
some
amish,
that
we
see
more
influence
of
weather
than
in
others
like
tuckwilla
or
kirkland,
so
differentially.
C
All
right,
so
I
wanted
to
talk
about
the
the
percentage
and
the
cost
of
water
for
a
minute.
So
because
I'm
not
sure
I
understand
this,
and
I
just
want
to
check
my
understanding.
So
the
2.2
increase
is
the
across
the
board
rate
increase
for
everybody,
for
whatever
it
is
a
unit
of
water.
Is
that
right.
AC
That's
right:
well,
it's
for
it's
actually,
not
even
for
a
union
of
water.
It's
the
increase
in
cascade
revenues
from
members
year
over
year,.
C
So
it's
not
a
rate
increase.
It's
a
projected.
Revenue
increase
correct
okay,
so
that
makes
sense.
So
this
was
very
confusing
because
I
thought
it
was
the
I'm
wondering
why
bellevue's
not
having
a
2.2
increase
if
that's
the
increase,
but
it's
that's
the
projected
revenue
and
based
on
you
know,
whoever
uses
the
most
they
might.
If,
if
someone
uses
more
than
their
proportionate
share
from
the
past,
then
their
percentage
of
that
revenue
increase
will
be
more
or
less
right.
It's
kind
of
like
avalorum
taxes.
C
If
one
area
has
big
increases
in
new
construction,
they
might
pay
more
or
okay
our
new
av.
Okay,
I
understand
that
now
it
it's
really
confusing
how
it's
being
presented-
and
I
would
just
encourage
you
to
make
sure
that,
when
you're
when
you're
presenting
it
that
it's
these
are
the
projected
revenue.
Not
this
is
the
projected
new
rates
for
members,
because
otherwise
I'm
going.
Why
aren't?
Why
aren't
we
it's
not
fair
if
we're
not
paying
2.2
percent
more,
if
that's
the
increase
in
rate,
but
I
understand
it
now.
So.
Thank
you.
D
Yes,
thank
you
lucy
ray
and
ed.
D
D
I
appreciated
reading
about
the
solar
panels
to
reduce
energy
bills,
which
then
contributes
year
after
year,
helpful
to
understand
what
the
2.2
means,
and
I
would
say
that
you
know
yes
this
year,
we've
had
a
lot
more
rain,
but
I'm
wondering
from
a
holistic
if
we
take
a
step
back
from
this,
is
about
our
the
payment
for
water,
but
to
the
degree
that
we
are
doing
a
conservation
on
our
water
usage
for
our
community.
So
you
know,
maybe
because
it's
been
a
wet
year
and
people
are
using
less
water.
D
Can
we
figure
out
how
to
keep
them
from
from
using
as
as
minimal
optimizing
their
water
usage
as
much
as
possible?
And
I
believe
we
are
already
doing
that.
I
just
wonder
if
we
can
really
double
down
on
those
efforts,
especially
if
the
percentage
of
usage
in
bellevue
per
capita
appears
to
be
higher
than
other
places.
Then
we
might
just
think
about
how
we
can
all
be
better
uses
of
the
precious
water
that
we
have
so
maybe
a
slightly
different
discussion
from
this
cascade
water
discussion
on
the
rate.
AB
AC
Yes
and,
and
we,
our
conservation
program,
remains
at
historical
levels
and
has
been
very
successful,
but
that's
only
one
piece
of
the
puzzle
and
you
know
on
the
retail
side.
The
right
signals
that
you
send
through
your
water
rates
are
equally
important
and,
of
course,
education
and
information
flow
is
a
vital
part
of
that.
A
Yeah,
okay,
I
have
so
many
questions.
This
is
not
my
expertise
and
it's
similar
to
some
of
my
other
council
members
asking
so.
First
of
all,
I
see
the
dollars
on
conservation
being
decreased.
The
amount
spent
there
and
then
coupled
with
bellevues
higher
than
projected
demands
and
growth
shouldn't.
We
be
spending
more
money
in
trying
to
educate
people
on
conserving
and
not
using
as
much.
AB
AB
That's
more
contemporary,
shall
I
say
than
some
of
the
outreach
mechanisms
that
cascade
has
historically
had
one
of
our
big
learning
experiences
over
the
course
of
the
pandemic
was
when
we
held
workshops
remotely
we
about
quintupled
the
attendance
that
and
participation
we
got
from
residents
in
all
of
our
members
service
areas
versus
holding
them
at
nurseries
in
person,
and
so
our
new
model
going
forward
is
to
have
a
mix
of
both
remote
and
in-person
venues
for
these
meetings
and
our
future
focus
is
going
to
be
a
bit
more
directed
to
the
outside
water
use.
AB
And,
interestingly
enough,
even
though
this
has
been
a
cool
wet
year
mike
brent,
our
conservation
program
director
has
had
more
requests
for
irrigation
audits
from
commercial
entities
who
are
engaged
in
irrigation,
which
we
take
as
a
sign
that
they're
looking
at
their
water
bills
from
last
year
and
seeing
what
they
could
do
to
lower
those.
So
I
would
offer
you
that
the
budget
moving
forward
while
it
is
decreasing
by
a
small
amount
if
we
find
good,
cost-effective
opportunities
to
pursue
either
in
the
education
or
physical
investment.
We
will
definitely
do
that.
A
Well,
that's
encouraging!
Thank
you.
I
have
two
more
questions.
One
I'm
a
little
envious
of
redmond
and
their
use
of
wells,
and
I
look
at
a
map
of
wells
in
on
the
east
side
and
bellevue
certainly
has
a
lot
of
wells.
Why
aren't
we
looking
you
know
we're
pouring
money
into
this
bellevue
issaquah
pipeline
relocation?
Why
aren't
we
looking
at
creating
wells
for
bellevue.
AB
That's
a
great
question:
I
will
argue
what
I
know,
and
this
is
going
to
be
a
limited
answer.
So
in
terms
of
cascades
membership
base,
when
cascade
was
formed,
four
of
our
members
identified
sources
of
supply
that
they
owned
and
operated
they're
all
groundwater
sources
and
that's
redmond
sammamis
plateau
issaquah
and
skyway.
AB
AC
AC
So
the
idea
of
getting
new
water
rights
for
new
wells
would
it
would
be
an
incredibly
difficult
battle
if
at
all
possible,
there
may
be
existing
water
rights
and
wells
that
could
be
put
to
use
if
they
are
still
valid,
but
that
that
is
held
at
the
local
level.
So
that
would
be
something
to
bring
up
with
your
utility
if
there
are
such
opportunities
and
then
come
to
cascade.
If
you
wish
to
pursue
those.
A
Okay,
thank
you
great
answer.
So
lucy
I'd
be
curious
to
get
more
information
of
this
if
there
is
any,
but
my
I'll,
let
you
come
back
to
that.
My
last
question
is:
do
we
anticipate
a
rate
change
for
our
consumers
for
our
ratepayers
who
pay
for
water?
I
know
that's
not
directly
under
you,
but
is
what
we're
doing
at
cascade
going
to
affect
our
ratepayers.
A
Our
are
not
the
member
cities,
but
the
the
public
and
private.
AC
Yes,
of
course,
if
the
water
utility
is
paying
us
more
and
those
increases
are
of
a
scale
of
about
five
or
six
hundred
thousand
a
year
increase,
it
needs
to
collect
and
recover
those.
It's
it's
big
enough
relative
to
your
system
that
it
wouldn't
surprise
me
that
that
would
be
a
necessary
part
of
a
rate
increase.
But
again
we
don't
determine
at
the
local
level,
so
maybe
lucy
could
be
more
directly
responsive.
There.
AA
What
that
would
translate
into
would
be
about
a
1.7
rate
increase
to
the
average
ratepayer
that
translates
to
about
a
dollar
27
per
month
to
the
typical
residential
bill,
okay
and
and
for
2024,
that
the
proposed
increase
would
translate
into
another
87
cents
more
in
2024.,
okay,
mayor,
I'm
also
happy
to
just
provide
a
brief
comment
on
the
wells
in
bellevue,
but
we
does
have
four
wells
that
we
maintain
for
municipal
water
purposes,
and
these
wells
were
used
back
in
the
I
want
to
say
the
50s
and
60s
to
actually
provide
water
supply
to
the
lake
hills
and
crossroads
neighborhoods.
AA
AA
A
R
This
is
a
very
important
occasion
for
cascade
with
alliance
to
brief
the
city
council
and,
as
very
you
know,
comfortingly
that
we
have
a
lot
of
questions
communication.
I
think
this
is
great,
so
I
was
going
to
wait
until
you
know
some
more
questions
asked,
but
since
there
was
was
any
so
I'm
going
to
ask
well
at
least
one,
if
not
more
than
what
what
I'll
try
one
first,
it's
something!
That's
not
new.
R
R
and
the
question
is:
will
you
know
there's
money,
that's
accumulated
and
will
there
be
a
opportunity
to
bring
it
back,
discuss
it
sometime
this
year
to
see
if
the
increased
amount
over
last
year's
estimate,
because
it's
due
to
seattle
throughout
credit,
higher
rcfcs
and
suppliers
in
the
construction
fund,
so
is
the
opportunity
to
discuss
it.
So
maybe
there's
some
conversation
between
the
city,
utility
staff
and
cascade
water
alliance.
That's
one
question.
AC
We
will
be
reporting
to
our
board
next
month,
actually
later
this
month
on
the
status
of
the
fund,
something
provided
in
the
code
that
there's
regular
reporting
and
assessment,
and
this
will
be
the
first
edition
of
that.
So
that'll
get
our
board
up
to
speed,
and
this
information
will
of
course
be
shared
with
all
our
members.
AC
R
Thanks
for
the
answer,
the
importance
of
me
asking
is,
and
the
utility
staff
is
asking
is
that
there's
assumptions
made
you
know
and
what
the
future
look
like
and,
as
we
know
it's,
it's
not
that
clear
right,
there's
some
some
moving
parts
so
perhaps
having
a
discussion
continuing
conversation.
This
would
be
useful
so
that
you
know
we
understand
and
could
discuss
the
assumptions.
So
I'm
not
going
to
ask
you
now
to
what
that
day,
but
maybe
just
a
opportunity
to
continue
the
discussion.
One
quick!
R
AB
Okay,
so
in
the
I
think,
the
best
way
to
talk
about
that
question,
the
emergency
response
is
perhaps
to
give
some
tangible
examples
of
the
things
that
might
most
likely
occur.
So
one
that's
close
to
home
is
the
bellevue
escort
pipeline.
AB
AB
AB
So
our
philosophy
is
to
keep
our
infrastructure
in
good
enough
shape,
either
through
replacement
or
rehabilitation
renewal,
so
that
we
minimize
the
risk
of
unfortunate
things
happening
with
with
that
infrastructure
and
indeed,
a
lot
of
what
you'll
see
in
our
six-year
capital
improvement
plan
is
to
replace
portions
of
our
infrastructure
down
at
lake
taps.
That
we
believe,
needs
to
be
replaced
to
keep
a
reliable
system
in
place.
A
K
Council
members,
the
the
final
study
session
topic
this
evening,
is
the
environmental
stewardship
initiative
quarterly
update
tonight,
staff's
going
to
provide
an
update
on
our
progress
towards
implementing
the
sustainable
bellevue
environmental
stewardship
plan
and
the
up
annual
update
on
environmental
performance
indicators.
We
have
quite
a
few
number
of
folks
joining
us
this
evening.
Michael
connor,
oh
you're,
not
you're,
not
going
to
go
up
there.
Okay!
K
Well,
then
emile
king
assistant,
director
and
jennifer
ewing,
environment,
stewardship
program
manager,
both
of
them
from
the
community
development
department
and
then
anna
anna
hegar,
up
from
resource
conservation
program
manager
from
finance
and
asset
management.
So
I'll
get
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
to
the
team.
AD
Dedicated
esi
staff
continue
to
both
lead
significant
work
efforts
and
collaborate
with
other
city
departments,
as
well
as
the
community
partners
on
a
range
of
actions
as
you'll
hear
tonight.
This
is
truly
a
one
city
effort
that
we're
undertaking
we're
currently
about
18
months
into
the
60-month
or
five-year
implementation
phase
for
this
plan,
and
our
focus
tonight
will
be
on
the
community
performance
measures
and
the
performance
measures
for
the
city
operations
we'll
go
into
a
level
of
detail
tonight
that
we
do
once
a
year
based
on
the
data
and
reporting
that
becomes
available.
W
Good
evening,
mayor
robinson
and
members
of
the
council,
tonight's
presentation,
just
to
reiterate,
is
for
information,
we'll
focus
on
our
annual
performance
update,
looking
primarily
at
2021
data
for
our
different
environmental
metrics
and
then
touch
a
bit
on
some
highlights
of
implementing
the
sustainable
bellevue
plan.
W
So
as
part
of
the
update
and
adoption
of
the
environmental
stewardship
plan,
there
are
a
number
of
different
environmental
performance
measures
related
to
climate
change,
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
energy
mobility
and
land
use,
natural
systems
and
waste.
The
greenhouse
gas
emissions
is
kind
of
the
bigger
overarching
metric
important
to
our
our
council
and
community.
W
So
we'll
talk
a
bit
about
our
performance
measures
on
the
community
side
and
then
anna
will
speak
to
the
performance
measures
for
our
city
operations.
So
to
start
things
off
that
we
did
the
2021
community
greenhouse
gas
emissions
analysis.
W
and
then,
as
you
remember,
we
have
goals
to
reduce
emissions
50
by
2030
and
then
80
by
2050,
so
for
2021
our
emissions
were
decreased
by
20
percent
compared
to
2011..
That
is
despite
growth
in
both
residents
and
jobs.
Over
that
10-year
time
period,
where
both
our
residential
population
went
up
a
little
over
the
20
percent
and
the
number
of
jobs
in
bellevue
increased
like
18,
so
we
are
trending
in
the
right
direction,
but
not
quite
on
track
for
where
we
should
have
been
in
2021.
W
We
should
have
been
at
more
of
like
a
25
reduction.
You
know,
not,
surprisingly,
the
some
of
the
trends
for
2020
and
2021.
You
know
we
did
see
a
more
significant
drop
in
emissions
and
a
big
part
of
that
was
due
to
covid
emissions
kind
of
went
up
a
little
bit
in
2021,
maybe
not
surprisingly,
as
economic
activity
and
just
general
activity
kind
of
started
to
to
increase
compared
to
2020.
W
But
a
lot
of
the
reductions
in
2021
were
really
due
to
reduce
energy
use
and
then
also
reduce
vehicle
trips,
which
we'll
talk
more
about.
We've
also
heard
some
interest
in
the
wedge
analysis,
so
this
was
it's
called
the
wedge
analysis,
because
it
it
illustrates
the
kind
of
different
strategies
needed
to
achieve
the
greenhouse
gas
emissions
reduction
targets
and
each
strategy
or
sort
of
bundle
of
strategies
is,
is
considered
a
wedge.
W
So
it
also
so
what
it
shows
on
the
top
line
is
kind
of
where
emissions
would
go
if
we
did
nothing
and
then
the
strategies
on
the
right
hand,
side.
Some
of
these
are
kind
of
a
combination
of
multiple
strategies.
So,
looking
at
how
we
might
you
know,
transition
to
renewable
energy
increase
energy
efficiency
in
our
buildings,
you
know
there's
a
number
of
different
strategies
or
pathways
involved
in
in
doing
some
of
these
different
things.
W
So
I
think
what
this
kind
of
illustrates
is,
you
know
again
sort
of
where
we
could
have
in
theory
been
you
know,
with
population
and
job
growth
and
and
where
we're
at
kind
of
relative
to
our
targets,
and
then
this
also
illustrates
just
what
the
the
biggest
sort
of
wedges
or
buckets
are
in
terms
of
emissions
reductions,
and
that's
really,
you
know
transportation
and
buildings.
W
So,
as
part
of
your
packet,
we
have
a
summary
of
all
of
the
different
performance
measures.
This
information
is
also
all
up
on
our
environmental
stewardship
performance
dashboard.
So
we
won't
have
time
to
go
through
all
of
these
in
detail,
but
they're
included
in
your
packet.
It's
all
online.
I
guess
a
couple
kind
of
key
things
to
highlight
here.
You
know
again
the
greenhouse
gas
emissions
reductions,
the
so
we
look
at
the
per
capita
vehicle
miles
traveled.
So
the
you
know
the
car
trips
per
person.
W
We
have
a
goal
to
reduce
those
50
by
2050,
which
is
in
line
with
the
the
state
and
county
goals.
Those
actually
you
know
we
exceeded
the
target
on
that
one.
The
vehicle
miles,
traveled
per
capita
or
per
person,
were
reduced
by
30
in
2021..
W
So
again
that
was
kind
of
a
big
contributor
to
the
emissions
reductions
and
then
total
energy
use
was
also
down
by
eight
percent
in
2021,
in
particular
in
commercial
buildings.
The
other
metric
I
want
to
point
out
here
is
our
treat
well
actually
before
we
get
to
tree
canopy.
Just
to
note
also
with
energy
use,
renewable
energy
also
went
up
slightly,
as
pse
has
continued
to
bring
on
more
renewable
sources,
in
particular
with
green
direct.
W
They
turned
on
a
wind
farm
and
a
solar
farm
both
in
2021,
okay
and
then
the
last
one
I'll
kind
of
highlight
here
is
just
with
the
tree
canopy.
We
updated
our
tree
canopy
assessment,
looking
at
2019
as
the
most
recent
data,
we're
still
waiting
on
the
2021
data
from
the
the
aerial
images
for
that,
but
it
should
hopefully
be
coming
later
this
year.
W
So
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
tree
canopy
and
then
we'll
switch
over
to
talking
a
bit
about
our
city
operations
before
I
kind
of
just
get
into
the
the
numbers
with
the
tree
canopy
assessment.
I
think
we
just
kind
of
wanted
to
reiterate
you
know
with
with
the
tree
canopy
40
goal.
W
You
know
that
then,
similar
to
some
of
these
other
measures
are
sort
of
a
it's
a
metric
for
us
to
measure
our
progress,
but
it's
also
kind
of
a
number
that
we
use
to
to
help
us
track
where
we're
at,
but
some
of
the
bigger
overarching
goals
around
tree.
Canopy
are
really
you
know,
all
about
kind
of
preserving
our
our
city
and
the
park
character
and
the
unique
character
of
our
different
neighborhoods,
providing
habitat
and
and
cooling
our
neighborhoods
and
our
in
our
both
our
residential
and
more
commercial
neighborhoods,
so
kind
of
with.
W
With
all
that
in
mind,
we
we
update
our
tree
canopy
assessment,
roughly
every
five
or
so
years
in
the
past.
You
know,
we've
always
tried
to
use
the
most
current
methodology,
but
that's
made
it
a
little
hard
to
compare
one
year
to
the
you
know
the
previous
assessment
for
this
one.
We
looked
at
both
2011
and
2019,
using
the
same
data
sources
and
methodologies
working
with
the
the
company
planet
geo
that
we
had
worked
with
on
our
previous
tree
canopy
assessment
and
what
we
found
was
the
tree.
W
Can
the
overall
tree
canopy
increased
during
that
time?
From
37.5
to
39,
you
know,
there's
a
big
report
attached
to
the
packet
that
kind
of
shows
the
tree
canopy
by
my
neighborhood
by
land
use,
type
by
census,
block
group,
schools,
etc.
You
know
one
of
the.
I
think
one
of
the
kind
of
main
takeaways
that
we
found
with
the
tree
canopy
assessment
is
that
you
know
clearly
there
have
been
some.
There
has
been
loss
of
trees.
You
know
in
different
parts
of
the
city.
This
map
illustrates,
you
know
in
green.
W
Those
are
the
parts
of
the
city
where
the
tree
canopy
has
had
a
net
increase,
and
then
the
areas
in
sort
of
yellowish
brown
are
the
the
ones
where
there
has
been
a
net
decrease
in
canopy.
So
basically,
what
we're
seeing
is
that
the
you
know,
while
the
overall
canopy
has
grown
a
bit,
you
know
in
that
eight
year
time
frame
we
are
seeing
a
loss
of
tree
canopy
in
a
in
a
big
part
or
of
the
city,
and
you
know
almost
half
of
sort
of
our
land
area.
W
So
basically,
you
know
the
overall
canopy
is
is
growing,
but
there
are
some
some
losses
here
and
here
and
there,
and
even
in
neighborhoods
where
the
net
canopy
has
grown
there,
there
can
still
be
loss
of
of
trees.
So
I
you
know,
I
think
what
in
reviewing
this
data,
I
think
you
know
what
we're
seeing
and
thinking
is
that
it
still
makes
sense
to
look
at
our
tree
regulations.
I
think
we've,
you
know,
heard
a
really
strong
desire
from
residents
to
do
that,
and
I
think
you
know
we
don't.
W
We
really
want
to
look
at
kind
of
stemming
further
losses
or
net
losses
of
canopy,
in
particular
in
these
neighborhoods.
You
know
that
have
experienced
more
tree,
canopy
loss.
W
AE
Great,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
mayor
robinson
and
members
of
the
council
for
having
us
tonight.
Transitioning
from
community
emissions
to
greenhouse
gas
emissions
are
to
municipal
operations.
I
wanted
to
provide
a
little
bit
of
context
in
terms
of
municipal
operation.
Emissions
are
about
one
percent
of
our
community-wide
emissions
and
our
whole
goal
is
to
go
through
this
process
and
lead
by
example,
for
city
operations
and
in
reducing
emissions.
So
our
goal
was
really
to
reduce
emissions
by
25
percent.
In
2021
emissions
were
decreased
to
16.
AE
We
saw
a
similar
trend,
as
we
did
in
the
community
where
2020
emissions
were
quite
a
bit
lower.
In
2021,
we
saw
a
slight
uptick
in
operations.
So
that's
what
you're,
seeing
in
the
graphical
trend
here
in
the
pie
chart.
However,
the
sources
of
emissions
were
relatively
similar
to
2020
and
previous
years,
we're
focusing
on
buildings
and
facilities
and
transportation
in
terms
of
our
fleet,
fuel
use
and
our
employee
commutes.
AE
That's
really
where
our
largest
opportunities
are
to
reduce
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
So
although
the
the
trend
is
slightly
up
from
last
year,
the
sources
of
emissions
and
our
initiatives
to
reduce
greenhouse
gas
emissions
are
are
very
similar
to
previous
years.
AE
AE
AE
Some
of
the
context
that
you
want
to
observe
through
this
is
ceta,
which
is
the
clean
energy
transformation
act
mentioned
by
jennifer.
So
that's
the
grid
transition
to
renewable
electricity.
We
also
are
complying
with
the
clean
buildings
act
which
established
energy
use,
intensity
standards
for
our
buildings.
So
we
have
about
50
buildings
that
are
going
to
be
required
to
comply
with
that
new
standard.
So
that's
going
to
improve
energy
efficiency
across
our
portfolio.
AE
So
this
is
the
progress
that
we
have
made
to
date
again:
you're,
seeing
the
16
downward
trend
in
greenhouse
gas
emissions
in
terms
of
employees
commuting
alone
due
to
social
distancing
that
was
required
in
2021.
We
did
see
an
increase
in
the
drive
alone
rate
for
city
employees,
we're
hoping
that
that
trend
will
not
continue
year
over
year.
That
is
something
that
we
can
continue
to
to
trend
in
the
opposite
direction.
AE
For
those
that
are
commuting
alone,
we
are
installing
the
electrical
infrastructure
needed
to
provide
ev
charging
stations
for
employees
to
use,
although
we
prefer
that
employees
continue
to
use
vanpool
public
transit,
we're
excited
to
see
the
light
rail
coming
online
at
city
hall
and
we're
hoping
that
we
can
shift
away
from
the
drive
alone
method
to
other
public
transit
opportunities
in
terms
of
fleet
vehicles.
We
saw
a
significant
decrease
in
gas
and
diesel
being
used
in
our
fleet.
AE
This
also
relates
to
some
of
our
energy
efficiency
projects.
We
currently
are
implementing
six
projects
through
an
energy
efficiency
grant.
We
already
received
com
from
commerce.
We
are
supposed
to
hear
this
summer
about
another
energy
efficiency
grant
we
applied
for
earlier
this
year
to
implement
a
large
retrofit
energy
efficiency
retrofit
at
bellevue
service
center.
AE
We
also
are
planning
to
convert
some
of
our
gas
equipment
into
electric
equipment
so
that
we
can
take
advantage
of
the
renewable
energy
that
we're
purchasing
through
the
green
direct
program,
so
that
will
also
you
know,
source
our
electricity
and
improve
the
the
green
grid
for
our
buildings,
and
we
also
have
several
opportunities
to
install
solar
through
different
psc
community
solar
programs,
so
we're
also
looking
into
taking
advantage
of
of
those
opportunities.
AE
AE
We
do
have
projects
underway,
such
as
the
city
hall,
plaza
renovation,
that's
significantly
reducing
water
use
in
those
areas,
so
best
practices
are
being
implemented
there,
and
we
expect
that
this
will
not
continue
to
trend
up
that
next
year.
We
will.
We
will
mitigate
this
trend
as
well
and
then
in
terms
of
the
recycling
rate,
trending
training,
downwards
recycling
rate
is
both
compost
and
recycling,
we're
hoping
that
we
can
continue
to
reuse
products
moving
forward
after
the
pandemic
and
not
have
to
dispose
as
much
ppe
and
things
like
that.
W
Okay,
yeah
thanks,
so
I
think
on
the
municipal
operations
side,
the
you
know,
the
two
metrics,
where
we
were
kind
of
trending
away
from
the
target
was
mostly
due
to
covid
related
operational
impacts.
In
terms
of
you
know
how
staff
were
getting
to
work
last
year
and
to
start
the
waste
stream
and
city
facilities
changing
and
then
with
on
the
water
side,
with
just
the
heat
dome.
W
So
to
give
you
kind
of
a
quick
overview
of
just
the
plan
implementation
progress,
we
are
continuing
to
you,
know,
progress
with
with
implementing
the
plan.
It
is
a
five-year
plan
and
we're
about
a
year
and
a
half
into
the
implementation,
and
we
have
started
work
on.
You
know
more
than
three
quarters
of
the
actions
so
making
good
progress
still
more
to
do.
W
Some
of
the
you
know
notable
more
recent
accomplishments
are
the
adoption
of
the
mobility
implementation
plan
led
by
the
transportation
department,
the
work
on
the
parks
and
open
space
system
plan
direction
to
begin
work
on
or
to
develop
the
landmark
tree
permit
requirement
and
ordinance
and
then
some
other
exciting
projects
moving
related
to
existing
buildings.
W
Our
clean
buildings
incentive
program
excuse
me
we're
we're
working
with
124
different,
mostly
commercial
buildings
in
bellevue,
to
help
them
benchmark
their
energy
use
and
then
look
for
strategies
to
reduce
energy
use
and
then
we're
just
now
really
doing
the
big
launch
of
our
our
heat
pump
campaign,
which
is
a
program
with
I've,
got
a
tickle
in
my
throat.
Excuse
me
with
kirkland
redmond,
mercer,
island
and
issaquah,
where
we'll
we're
partnering,
with
a
distributor
called
gensco
who
will
be
providing
a
discount
for
residents
to
install
heat
pumps
and
we'll
be
providing.
W
Alright,
okay,
excuse
me
so
in
terms
of
what
we're
hearing
we,
I
think
you
know
some
of
these
points.
We've
been
hearing
from
our
residents
over
the
past
several
months,
folks
coming
to
council
and
speaking
and
and
sending
in
comments
and
that
sort
of
thing
we
also
had
kind
of
a
joint
town
hall
last
thursday.
W
W
So
we
kind
of
both
wanted
to
look
at
the
our
different
sustainability
metrics.
So
for
this,
the
environmental
stewardship
team
to
report
out
on
our
progress
and
talk
about
how
we're
doing
with
respect
to
our
our
long-term
environmental
goals,
and
then
the
discussion
on
the
comprehensive
plan
was
really:
how
can
we
grow
and
accommodate
35
000
or
more
residents,
plus
70,
000
jobs
and
still,
at
the
same
time,
you
know
be
on
track
to
meet
our
targets.
So
we
had
that
event.
W
Last
thursday,
you
know
kind
of
continued
to
hear
just
a
lot
of
excitement
for
all
the
work
that
bellevue
is
doing
a
lot
of
great
conversations
around
sort
of.
How
do
we
grow
sustainably,
and
you
know
accommodate
this
growth,
but
also
you
know,
meet
meet
our
targets
and
then
you
know
kind
of
more
discussion
around
you
know,
hearing
from
the
community
that
they'd
like
to
see
us,
you
know
accelerating
our
efforts
and
getting
on
track
to
meet
our
goals
with
respect
to
the
the
desire
for
more
resources.
W
You
know
we
wanted
to
note
that
as
part
of
the
biennial
budget
process,
we,
you
know,
have
submitted
budget
proposals
to
support.
You
know
the
implementation
of
the
plan,
both
the
community
actions
in
the
plan
and
the
municipal
operations
ones.
So
those
are
part
of
the
mix
of
budget
proposals
that
are
being
reviewed
by
our
leadership,
team
and
city
manager's
office
to
be
presented
to
council.
This
fall
so
with
that.
That
concludes
our
presentation.
W
Again,
I
just
want
to
reiterate
all
the
information
from
our
our
presentation
is
all
on
our
online
dashboard
and
the
the
attachments
for
tonight's
presentation.
So
if
anyone
listening
in
would
like
more
information
or
wants
to
refer
to
the
website
for
more
details
and
with
that
we'd
be
happy
to
take
any
questions.
Thank
you.
A
R
Well,
I'm
very
very
glad
to
see
that
you
know
you
are
on
top
of
things,
making
good
progress.
I
like
the
matrix
that
you
indicated
and
show.
R
Just
a
little
bit
of
a
confusion
in
some
of
the
areas
trending
up
training
down,
depending
on
whether
it's
good
to
turn
the
whole
culture
down
yeah.
So
just
a
little
bit
of
confusion.
Unless,
until
I
start
looking
at
you
know
what
path
points
to
the
you
know,
improvement
environment,
so
maybe
it
needs
a
little
bit
of
clarification.
R
The
one
thing
is
you
you
mentioned
you
have,
or
you
have
public
meetings.
You
heard
that
we're
not
doing
fast
enough.
They
still
like
to
see
more,
but
when
you
see
the
trend,
we
are
moving
in
the
right
direction.
We
are
getting
there,
so
I
think
there
seemed
to
be
a
little
bit
of
a
discontinuity
there.
R
W
Yeah,
I
think
we
we
are
trending
with
the
greenhouse
gas
emissions
trending
in
the
right
direction,
but
not
quite
on
track.
You
know,
I
think
is,
is
the
message.
So
we
are
not
quite
reducing
emissions
fast
enough
and
then
I
think
what
we
have
seen
is.
You
know
more
of
a
drop
in
greenhouse
gas
emissions
due
to
covid.
I
think
what
we
don't
know
is
you
know
what
the
the
data
for
this
year
will
look
like.
I
think
you
know
we're
starting
to
or
we're
into
the
new
normal.
W
I
guess
you
know,
I
think
things
are
just
kind
of
changing
rapidly,
so
I
think
we
did
see
a
bit
of
an
uptick
in
emissions
from
2020
to
2021
and
I
think,
as
we
you
know,
emerge
out
of
the
pandemic.
W
I
think
we
really
need
to
look
at
how
we
can
sustain
some
of
those
reductions.
Well,
of
course,
you
know
getting
the
economic
activity
back
up,
but
also
looking
at
how
we
can
you
know
continue
to
reduce
emissions.
R
Yeah,
maybe
that's
what's
causing
the
concern
of
the
public
yeah.
You
know
we
cannot
depend
on
the
covert
right.
That's
the
reason
for
the
trending
in
the
right
direction.
We
need
to
be
more
intentional.
Maybe
we
might
need
to
figure
out
after
the
covert
of
what
we
might
have
to
do
to
keep
on
moving.
You
know
in
the
right
direction,
which
means
maybe
we
have
to
increase
our
goal
somewhat?
I
don't
know,
if
that's
the
case,
it
can
be
done.
You
know,
maybe
that's
what
we
need
to
hear.
R
We
need
to
have
a
conversation,
but
if
we
are
on
the
right
track,
if
we
can
continue
to
move
to
our
objective,
then
I
guess
we're
okay,
but
I
think
just
somehow
there's
that
that
disconnect,
whichever
kind
of
concern
we
need
to
you
know,
we
see
people
always
coming
to
talk
to
us
so
well,
you're
not
doing
faster.
You
need
more
people,
you
need
more
resources,
you
know.
So
what
is
it?
Yeah
thanks.
D
D
I
know
that
we've
talked
about
a
belief
that
we
that
we're
we're
not
quite
at
the
numbers
and
that
we're
going
to
increase
we're
going
to
need
to
increase
resources,
but
I
think
it's
always
good
to
to
see
what
the
numbers
actually
tell
us,
and
certainly
what
we
saw
in
here
is
that
in
2020,
when
we
were
in
this
in
the
right
in
the
midst
of
kovid,
the
numbers
actually
were
trending
in
the
right
direction
at
a
steep
enough
rate
that
we
were
on
track.
D
So
I
do
think
that
this
gives
us
that
call
to
action
which
we
saw
in
the
report
in
the
progress
summary
that
we
need
to
ex.
We
need
to
keep
doing
what
we're
doing,
which
I'm
really
appreciative
of
all
of
your
efforts,
and
yet
we
need
to
accelerate
the
pace
of
the
work
that
we're
doing,
and
so
I
agree
with
you
having
the
parts
in
open
space
levy
and
hopefully
getting
more
of
those
projects,
the
mip
the
tree
canopy
the
comp
plan.
Those
are
all
gonna
help.
D
The
next
right
work
for
housing,
happy
to
see
that
the
tree
canopy
we're
going
from
37
to
39.
Although
we've
seen
losses
as
you've
said,
what
I
would
like
to
better
understand
is,
as
you
look
at
the
wedge
analysis,
is
there
a
way
for
us
to
show
what
percentage
of
the
allocation
of
reduction
we're
expecting
from
these
different
strategies?
D
So
we
can
better
pinpoint
if
we're
not
hitting
the
mark
where,
amongst
these
different
strategies,
do
we
need
to
put
our
foot
on
the
gas
pedal
quicker,
because
it
could
be
that
out
of
the
dozen
things
eight
of
them
are
doing
really
well,
but
these
four
are
the
ones
we
really
need
to
highlight.
So
I'd
like
to
better
understand
what
that
is
and
and
then
how
we
might
work
with
the
community
and
the
businesses
to
to
help
us
move
even
faster
and
then
our
own
municipal
with
our
own
employees.
D
So
maybe
some
of
those
and
those
m
ones.
We
could
look
at
accelerating
sooner
to
better
align
with
the
work
that
we're
doing,
and
then
you
know
mike
cutterman-
and
I
spoke
briefly
about
the
as
we
look
at
advancing
the
green
building
and
green,
affordable
housing
and
solar.
I
think
we
also
spoke
briefly
about
m
1.3,
which
is
the
climate
sustainability
and
land
use
in
neighborhood
planning
and
whether
in
the
comp
plan,
some
of
the
1099
elements
could
be
incorporated
which
has
pieces
associated
with
climate
change.
D
So
I'm
excited
to
see
what
you've
proposed
in
terms
of
our
2023
budget
and
where
some
of
the
what
some
of
the
needs
are
from,
perhaps
both
the
resource
and
the
capital
side
to
help
us
move
even
faster.
I
am
excited
to
see
all
of
the
work
underway
and,
at
the
same
time
I
think
there's
more.
We
could
be
putting
our
foot
on
the
accelerator
in
so
I
don't
know
that
I
have
anything
in
particular.
D
A
You
did
you
have
any
response
to
that
or.
Y
All
right,
thank
you
mayor.
I
think
my
points
have
already
pretty
much
been
addressed.
It
was
going
to
be
about
what
I
raised
last
time
and
what
council
members
I
mentioned
in
terms
of
how
we
focus
on
the
most
impactful
actions
as
well.
Y
And
I
think
that's
where
I'll
leave
it.
I
don't
have
a
I'd,
be
interested
in
how
we
can
show
that
a
little
bit
more
to
in
the
dashboard.
I
know
we
have
the
actions
and
I
I
appreciate
to
seeing
the
short-term
outcomes
I
like
the
percentage
and
would
really
like
to
see
more
of
those
trends
over
over
time.
So.
S
S
Stair,
stepping
down
is
getting
there,
but
it's
going
to
take
forever
and
we
don't
have
forever,
and
I
guess
what
I'm
asking
is:
do
we
need
to
have
a
another
look
at
what
what
are
the
most
important
things
we
can
do
and
how
do
we
have
a
better
sense
of
how
we
can
make
these
things
happen
quicker
and,
unfortunately,
you
know
2021
don't
seem
to
make
a
lot
of
sense.
I
mean
I,
I
think
it's
hard
to
actually
measure
anything
based
on
that
time
period.
S
Just
because
it's
it's
odd
and
we
don't
know,
we
still
really
don't
know
what
it's
going
to
be
like
going
forward,
but
I
think
the
urgency
between
when
we
came
up
with
this
plan
and
now
has
changed
dramatically
and-
and
I
think
you're
you
know
really
working
hard
on
and
focusing
on
what
we
need
to
do.
The
question
is:
how
do
we,
how
do
we
implement?
How
do
we
make
it
actually
happen?
And
so
we
don't
look
back
in
2040
and
say:
oh
my
gosh
gee.
S
We
thought
we're
going
to
get
there
and
we
didn't
get
there
and
what
could
we
have
done?
So
I
just
think
it's
a
lot
more.
It's
going
to
take
some
it's
going
to
take
some
more
staffing.
I'm
not
you
know,
I'm
not
saying
you
need
to
hire
10
people
or
whatever,
but
maybe
some
refocusing
on
what
are
the
most
important
things
that
we
need
to
achieve,
and
how
do
we
have?
S
You
know,
use
the
staff
for
that,
just
some
realizing
that
you
know
we're
not
in
2017
anymore,
we're
not
we're
in
different
concepts,
and
we
don't
even
know
what's
going
to
happen
in
terms
of
buildings
and
all
these
things,
so
it's
difficult
but
having
plans
for
20.
You
know
10
15
years
out
and
the
chart,
if
you
make,
if
you
get
to
success,
it's
going
to
come
down
like
this,
but
we're
still
coming
like
this,
and
so
from
to
get
from
here
to
here
is
a
big
leap.
S
If
we
just
keep
edging
along
and
so
I'm
I
think
it's
and
the
conversation
in
the
community
is
a
lot
better.
I
think
we're
getting
support,
it's
very
positive
on
moving
forward,
but
I'd
like
to
see
us
actually
come
up
with
even
a
really
robust
and
energetic
a
goal.
How
can
we
actually
do
this
in
a
reasonable
time
period?
S
Because
again
we
don't
want
to
you
know,
end
up
at
a
certain
time
period
and
say
sheila
and
we
tried,
but
it
didn't
work,
and
I
just
think
you
have
a
lot
of
great
ideas,
a
lot
of
stuff
we're
working
on,
and
I
would
like
to
see
more
emphasis
on
that.
How
do
we
coordinate
better
and
I'm
in
favor
of
and
I'm
glad
you're
looking
at
some
staffing,
I
think
probably
won't
take
that
much,
but
something
to
help
you
know
moving
forward
because
we've,
given
you
something
that's
five
years
old
now.
S
Basically
that
looked
interesting
then,
but
looking
at
we're
not
going
to
get
to
this
gold
2050
is
we
may
not
even
be
able
to.
You
know
have
to
work
on
a
goal
at
a
time.
So
I
think
we
have
to
look
at
it
from
that
standpoint
that
it's
more
urgent
than
where
we're
putting
into
it
so,
but
I
think
we
have
the.
S
S
But
again,
thank.
A
S
A
AF
I
think
the
short
answer
is
we
really
need
to
look
more
at
the
programs.
It's
not
necessarily
about
the
number
of
staff.
It's
about
the
programs
that
we're
putting
in
place
to
have
the
effects
that
you're
asking
for
so
once
we
have
once
we
identify
those
and
look
at
the
level
of
effort,
that's
needed,
then
we
can
look
at
what
staffing
is
required
to
handle
those
so
and
that's
part
of
the
budget.
Discussion
that'll
be
coming
to
you
in
the
fall
and
I
think
to
council,
member
stoke's
point
and
others
as
well.
AF
I
think
one
thing
to
keep
in
mind
about
this
is
we
are
making
good
progress.
We
are
not
on
track
as
we'd
like
to
be
certainly,
but
we're
also
gaining
momentum,
we're
one
and
a
half
years
into
a
five-year
plan,
so
we're
looking
at
it
from
that
standpoint
as
well.
We
know
where
the
triggers
are
and
we're
looking
at
how
we
can
increase
our
efforts
in
those
areas.
A
Great
okay,
so
I
have
some
questions
of
my
own
one
is:
do
you
think
we
should
be
increasing
our
tree
canopy
goal?
Do
you
think
the
goal
that
we
set
was
high
enough.
A
W
I
mean,
I
think
our
utilities
department
does
a
lot
of
work
in
terms
of
educating
around.
I
think
they
call
it
recycling
right,
I
think
more
recently.
I
think
we
could,
you
know,
follow
up
with
them
to
get
more
specifics,
but
I
think
you
know
that
contamination
issue
is
is
definitely
something
that
a
lot
of
our
outreach
is
looking
to
address.
I
think
the
way
streams
have
kind
of
changed
a
little
over
the
past
two
years
with
covet,
and
I
think
people's
patterns
have
changed
a
bit.
So
I
think.
W
A
A
A
AE
Other
thoughts
we
do
randomly
audit,
sometimes
the
in
municipal
trash,
to
see
what
the
contamination
rate
is
to
make
sure
that
people
are
recycling
correctly.
So
sometimes
that
actually
is
a
service
that
has
been
provided
by
utilities
as
well-
and
you
know
I
think,
just
in
the
industry,
there
is
some
confusion
about
the
compostable
plastic
versus
the
regular
plastic.
AE
So
now,
cedar
grove
has
expanded
their
options
to
accept
more
commercially
recycled
or
compostable
products.
So
that's
one
way
to
eliminate
having
to
rinse
or
in
situations
where
you
don't
have
a
sink
to
rinse.
You
can
just
use
compostable
products.
Z
AE
Long
as
it's
clear
that
it
all
goes
in
the
compost
and
isn't
trying
to
decide
between
compost
and
recycling,
so
there
are
some
some
event,
specific
things
that
we
can
implement
to
to
improve
that.
But
it's
it's
an
ongoing
process.
I
don't
think
that'll
ever
end.
I
think
we'll
constantly
have
to
educate
everyone
on
the
current
practice.
A
Well,
I
appreciate
what
you're
doing
at
the
municipal
level,
because
I
see
that
and
I
see
more
compostable
products
that
are
being
used,
so
it
is
easier
but
outside
of
what
we're
doing
here
it.
What
we're
doing
in
our
homes
is
the
hard
part,
especially
for
multi-family
yeah
living
that
doesn't
always
have
compost.
W
One
other
thought-
and
we
can
follow
up
with
utilities
on
this-
is
that
that
may
be
the
contamination
rate
for
all
of
the
recyclables.
W
A
C
No,
so
I
I
appreciate
the
comments
about
trying
to
do
things
that
are
meaningful.
I
would
join
my
colleagues
with
that,
and
I
know
we're
only
30
into
this
five
year,
yet
we're
we've
started
or
are
well
underway
on
79.
I
think
I
think
that
rather
I
mean
I
want
to
focus
on
the
good
right.
C
Let's
focus
on
that,
and
I
think
that
I'm
really
appreciative
that
you
guys
showed
where
we
were
making
the
goal
better
because
of
the
pandemic
or
maybe
falling
short
because
of
the
pandemic,
because
that
was
a
real
impact.
I
think
that
that's
helpful,
but
you
know
how
has
bellevue
always
done
stuff
in
a
systematic
way.
How
do
you
eat
an
elephant,
a
bite
at
a
time,
but
let's
find
the
best
bites
where
we
can
really.
You
know
make
sure
that
we
makes
make
a
difference.
C
So
I
had
a
couple
of
one
ask
and
a
question
so
on
the
greenhouse
gas
reduction
of
20
percent
over
the
last
11
years.
I
actually
think
that's
pretty
good,
considering
we've
grown
our
residents
population
by
28
000
and
our
jobs
for
24
000.
I
would
be
very
interested
to
see
the
per
capita,
whether
you
know
whether
we
lump
jobs
and
and
population
and
together
or
whether
we
break
it
out
by
per
capita
per
jobs
per
capita
per
people.
C
I
think
that
that's
really
meaningful,
because
the
only
really
you
know
one
way
we
could
really
bring
down
our
greenhouse
gas
emissions
and
that's
just
kill
our
economy
right,
I
mean
and
have
everyone
move
away,
I
mean
that's
and
that's
not
what
we
want
to
do
so.
The
the
trick
is
going
to
be
making
sure
that
we
have
a
per
capita
reduction
and
that
will
help
us
with
an
overall
reduction.
So
I
think
that
would
be
helpful.
It
also
can
give
some
agency
to
people
thinking.
C
Okay,
this
is
the
per
capita
I'm
gonna
do
better
right,
I
mean
remember
we
had
that
yeti.
You
know
green
team
thing
like
be
a
carbon
yeti.
I
think
that
that
would
be
helpful.
So
I'd
like
to
track
that.
Are
we
tracking
that.
W
C
Like
to
be
curious
next
time,
you
guys
come
back
yeah
to
get
that
number
and
then
my
question,
that's
my
ask.
My
question
was
about
slide
seven
about
that
big
brown
spot.
To
me.
That
looks
where
we've
lost
twenty
fifteen
to
twenty
two
percent
tree
canopy,
that's
mercer!
Slough!
Isn't
it
that's
the
sound
transit
product,
yeah.
AD
C
Yeah,
okay,
so
have
they
replanted,
they've,
they're,
replanting
right.
C
C
You
know,
eventually,
I
mean
the
carbon
output
of
building
light.
Rail
is
significant,
but
then
over
time
it
saves.
So
I
assume
that
this
that
the
tree
canopy-
yes,
it
got
taken
down
in
that
area,
which
is
very
stark.
That's
the
biggest
wetland
in
king
county
and
it's
just,
but
with
the
reduction
of
tree
canopy.
But
if
they're
replanting,
then
hopefully
that
will
green
up
over
time.
D
D
Where
are
the
areas
that's
going
to
give
us
the
most
impact
now
to
drive
down
the
greenhouse
gas
emissions
so
happy
to
entertain
any
other
things,
but
it
was
just
something
that
you
recently
came
on
that
and
I
think
that
we
found
that
very
helpful
in
terms
of
using
that
as
a
tool
to
understand.
So,
thank
you
very
much.
I
agree
good
comment.
