Roberson,
mayor
of
City,
of
Bellevue
Washington
and
on
behalf
of
its
City
Council.
E
Does
hereby
proclaim
the
month
of
May
2020s
Asian
Pacific
American
Heritage
Month
in
Bellevue,
and
encourage
all
citizens
to

the
rich
diversity
of
this
community
to
enjoy
and
appreciate
the
many
contributions
of
the
Asian
and
Pacific
Islanders
to
our
community,
including
their
efforts
to
support
culminating
relief

on
the
many
challenges.
Asian
and
Pacific
Islanders
have
faced
in
our
past
and
in
current
times,
and
to
join
in
looking
forward
to
a
future
of
hope
and
optimism.
E
F
And
whereas
an
expansive
depth
and
breadth
of
the
nursing
profession
is
required
to
meet
the
different
and
emerging
health
care
needs
of
the
American
population
in
a
wide
range
of
settings.
And
whereas
nurses
and
other
healthcare
workers
have
been
vital
in
the
medical
response
to
Coba
19,
providing
critical
treatment
and
care
at
the
risk
of
their
own
health
and
safety.
F
And
whereas
professional
nursing
has
been
demonstrated
to
be
an
indispensable
component
of
the
safety
and
quality
of
care
of
all
patients,
and
whereas
globally,
the
nursing
profession
is
celebrating
a
milestone
in
2020
as
the
World
Health
Organization
declares
it.
The
International
Year
of
the
nurse
and
midwife
in
honor,
of
the
200th
anniversary
of
the
birth
of
Florence
Nightingale.
A
G
Mayor
just
like
nurses,
we
really
couldn't
do
without
hospitals
and
they've
had
a
critical
role
in
the
Cova
19
epidemic
and
I
feel
so
grateful
to
have
Overlake
in
our
midst.
We
have
such
a
great
Hospital
as
well
as
other
medical
facilities
here
in
Bellevue.
It's
really
a
quite
a
nice
amenity
for
the
people
in
this
region.
So,
whereas
there
are
more
than
six
thousand
hospitals
in
the
u.s.
G
And
whereas
this
year's
celebration
of
hospitals,
health
systems
and
health
care
workers
is
taking
the
form
of
a
week
of
thanks
where
people
can
participate
from
the
safety
and
comfort
of
their
homes.
While
health
care
heroes
go
to
work,
fighting
against
Cova
19
and
whereas
this
important
week
gives
us
all
the
opportunity
to
highlight
our
hospitals,
health
systems
and
health
care
workers
and
the
innovative
ways
they
are
supporting
the
needs
of
their
community
members
during
this
pandemic.
G
Now,
therefore,
on
behalf
of
Lyn
Robertson
Mayor
of
the
City
of
Bellevue
Washington
and
on
behalf
of
its
City
Council
I
do
hereby
proclaim
the
week
of
May
10
through
16
2020
as
national
hospitals
week
in
Bellevue,
and
encourage
all
residents
to
express
their
appreciation
for
the
people,
facilities
and
technologies
that
make
trustworthy,
reliable
health
care
possible
in
our
community,
especially
during
the
public
health
crisis.
Due
to
the
co
mid-nineteen
pandemic,
sign
Lyn,
Robinson
mayor.
A
A
H
Tenant
councilmembers
I
have
one
item
to
report
on
tonight
and
that
item
is
I
am
pleased
to
introduce
to
you
tonight
a
micro
Shia's
sake.
Baby's
new
parks
and
community
services
director
Michael
has
served
was
selected
as
the
new
director
of
parks
and
community
services
after
the
city
undertook
a
nationwide
recruitment
effort,
and
during
this
competitive
recruitment
effort,
Michael
emerged
as
the
top
candidate
Michael.
He
is
no
stranger
to
Bellevue
early
on
in
his
career.
He
worked
in
the
bamboo
parks
department,
as
a
planning
manager.
H
I
believe
the
only
council
member
here
that
might
remember
back
there
is
is
council
member
lee
in
terms
of
some
additional
background.
Mike
was
over
30
years
of
experience
and
has
served
in
a
number
of
leadership
positions
in
parks
and
community
services,
including
the
city
of
Seattle,
the
city
of
Sammamish,
and
he
is
well
recognized
by
his
peers
throughout
the
region
for
his
for
thinking,
approach,
collaborative
style,
eagerness
for
innovation
in
the
solid
track
record
of
accomplishments,
as
we
welcome
Michael
on
board
tonight.
H
I
also
want
to
take
a
moment
just
to
offer
well-deserved
thanks
to
Shellie
McCain
or
parks
deputy
director,
who
served
as
the
interim
Parks
driver
over
the
past
year.
She
is
my
ex
that
leadership,
while
navigating
the
department,
through
some
very
challenging
times,
including
the
onset
of
the
Kogan
pandemic,
with
that
I'm
gonna
turn
over
to
Mike,
who
would
like
to
say
a
few
words
Michael
thank.
I
You
so
much
breath
for
that
really
very
warm
and
generous
introduction
mayor,
deputy
mayor
and
city
council
members.
I
just
want
you
to
know
how
fortunate
I
feel
and
how
excited
I
am
to
have
this
opportunity
to
return
to
the
city
of
Bellevue
in
this
new
role.
As
you
know,
Bellevue's
not
only
a
city
in
a
park,
but
it's
a
city
known
for
its
parks
and
open
spaces
and
recreation
and
human
service
programs.
And
for
someone
like
me,
who's,
been
in
what
I
refer
to
the
parks
biz
for
many
years.
I
Bellevue
not
only
has
a
regional
but
a
national
reputation
as
a
first-rate
parks
and
community
services.
Organization
and
I
also
wanted
to
thank
Shelley
mcvane
for
so
capably
serving
as
the
acting
director
over
the
past
year.
She's
really
helping
create
some
continuity
and
she
is
just
really
being
so
helpful
as
I
start
in
this
position,
and
so
is
someone
looking
to
the
Future
and
I
realize
we're
now
in
uncharted
waters.
I
I
look
forward
to
growing
Bellevue
system
to
meet
the
needs
of
a
city,
that's
becoming
increasingly
urban
and
increasingly
diverse,
while
paying
special
attention
to
those
in
our
city
who
are
on
the
margins.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
and
I
look
forward
to
meeting
you
all
in
person
as
soon
as
possible.
Thank.
A
D
A
C
You
mayor
well,
I,
guess,
first
things
first
and
welcome
back
to
the
City
of
Bellevue
what
an
odd
time,
perhaps
to
come
back
to
the
city
during
this
this
pandemic,
but
welcome
back
and
wanted
to
echo
your
words
both
the
wonderful
job
that
Shelley
McBain
has
done
during
this
time.
A
search
for
a
new
parks
director
I
think
she
deserves
a
lot
of
credit
and
kudos.
So
I
appreciate
your
words
there.
So
no
questions
at
this
time
as
I'm
sure
you're
still
kind
of
getting
settled
in
again
under
these
difficult
circumstances.
But
welcome
back.
Thank.
G
A
E
You,
madam
mayor
Oh,
Michael,
it's
a
heartwarming
to
welcome
a
former.
Oh
you
employees
to
come
back
home,
yes,
councilmember
Stokes
was
saying
parks
and
community
services
is
not
just
the
physical
facility,
which
is,
as
you
mentioned.
You
know
probably
the
past
bar
none
with
our
in
a
wonderful
park
system
throughout
the
years.
The
vision
that
we
have
been
implementing
slowly
but
for
Shirley,
and
so
but
the
big
thing
is
the
community
service.
The
people
and
I
think
that
you
can
bring
a
very
wonderful
perspective
and
experience
for
the
City
of
Bellevue,
especially
you
know.
E
F
Well,
welcome
aboard
I'm
really
excited
to
work
with
you
as
the
liaison
to
the
parts
forward,
because,
as
you
mentioned,
you
know,
our
parts
are
more
than
just
a
local
part
if
we
are
both
locally
and
nationally
alone,
for
our
amazing
Park
System,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
continue
to
be
a
national
leader
in
our
part
system
because,
ultimately,
parks
are
such
an
integral
part
of
what
makes
Bellevue
amazing.
So
welcome
aboard
and
I
look
forward
to
working
with
you.
Thank
you.
Thank.
I
I
A
K
Did
allotted
two
I
would
make
a
recommendation
for
Smita
galati
to
be
reappointed
to
the
Arts.
Commission
shmita
is
a
renowned
artists
in
the
Seattle
area
as
one
of
the
beneficiaries
as
a
context
in
context
within
the
whole
region,
and
it's
not
a
lot
of
course
in
her
home
city
of
but
she's
been
a
valuable
contributor
to
our
conversations
and
discussions
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
working
with
her
and
having
her
search
and
bring
her
experience
and
motivation
and
excitement.
K
A
F
F
A
G
I
am
recommending
Leigh
Wu
be
reappointed.
Leigh
Wu
was
first
appointed
in
2016
that
she's
just
finished
she's
finishing
serving
her
first
full
term
and
she's.
Currently,
the
chair
she's
been
the
chair
for
two
years:
she's
a
transportation
professional
by
trade,
with
professional
experience
in
transportation,
planning
and
traffic
engineering,
and
she
previously
worked
for
the
City
of
Redmond.
She
lives
in
the
center
of
Bellevue
and
she
has
been
a
fabulous
leader
for
the
Transportation
Commission
I'm,
also
recommending
reappointment
of
Carroll
tropen.
G
He
was
appointed
just
last
year
to
fill
a
vacancy
created
by
the
resignation
of
a
commissioner.
He
has
extensive
world
travelling
experience
and
often
documents
and
shares
transportation
innovations
that
he
discovers
as
he's
globe-trotting
and
brings
us
to
the
Transportation
Commission,
which
adds
a
very
nice
flavor
and
information
to
the
fellow
commissioners.
He
has
a
degree
for
Moscow
Institute
of
Physics
and
Technology
applied
mathematics
and
physics
he's
a
manager
at
Google
and
he
lives
in
Northeast
Bellevue
and
he's
also
been
an
excellent
commissioner.
So
I
recommend
both
Leigh
woo
and
Carol
strop
be
reappointed,
Oh.
A
Wonderful.
Thank
you.
This
is
not
in
my
notes,
but
I
believe
we
all
have
to
vote
for
this.
These
recommendations
am
I
right
charming.
Yes,.
B
C
D
A
H
You
made
our
tenant
council
member
to
set
this
up.
Is
councillors
aware
who
the
service
needs,
as
well
as
the
financial
system
needs,
are
an
all-time
high,
given
the
impacts
of
covent
The
Cove
in
1910
and
early
on
the
council,
City
Council
responded
swiftly.
Do
the
Human
Services
needs
by
way
of
allocating
almost
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
their
continuty
to
respond
to
the
most
immediate
human
service
needs.
H
The
city
also
responded
to
some
of
the
financial
needs
of
small
businesses
by
deferring
the
vno
tax
payments,
as
well
as
providing
technical
assistance
to
small
businesses
for
financial
assistance
from
the
federal
government.
No,
but
despite
all
these
actions
taken
by
the
city,
the
human
service
as
well
small
business
needs
continue
to
grow
at
an
unprecedented
rate.
This
evening,
staff
are
here
to
discuss
with
council
they'll
of
new
Community
Development
Block
Grant
funds.
H
The
needs
arising
out
of
the
pandemic,
as
well
as
funds
RIF
Rita
from
last
year's
CDBG
process
that
are
now
available
for
redistribution
and
that
we
are
seeking
the
council's
direction
with
respect
to
the
staffs
allocation
recommendation,
which
will
be
provided
at
the
end
of
the
presentation,
the
stat
presentation
and
with
that
I'm
gonna
turn
it
over
to
Nathan
Macomb
and
the
deputy
city
manager
and
Tony
Esparza
assistant
director
for
the
parks
and
Community
Services
Department.
To
begin
the
series
presentation
Nathan.
Take
it
away.
L
Thank
you,
city
manager,
Miyake,
mayor
robertson,
deputy
mayor
new
in
house
and
council
members.
It's
a
pleasure
to
speak
before
the
council
this
evening.
Joining
me,
as
you
heard,
is
Tony
Esparza
she's,
the
assistant
director
for
the
parks
and
Community
Services
Department.
So
this
is
parks
and
community
services
night.
As
we've
all
been
hearing,
the
federal
government
has
been
active
in
offering
extra
sources
of
funding
to
communities
across
America
due
to
the
challenges
of
co19.
L
The
good
news
is
that
the
City
Council
has
the
opportunity
to
provide
direction
on
one
of
those
funding
sources
potentially
today,
which
is
a
special
version
of
the
Community
Development
Block,
Grant
or
CDBG
I'll
refer
to
it
that
way,
the
rest
of
the
presentation,
so
CDBG
has
been
used
in
Bellevue
for
many
years
and
as
a
means
to
help
low
and
moderate
income
residents.
In
fact,
Bellevue
is
known
as
an
entitlement
city
with
HUD,
which
means
HUD.
L
L
Today,
staff
is
seeking
direction
from
counsel
to
prepare
legislation
to
be
adopted
at
a
future
council
meeting
that
will
allocate
special
seed
funds
to
certain
services
and
providers
of
those
services,
and
in
this
presentation
we
aim
to
provide
enough
information
to
help
the
council
make
its
decision.
In
addition,
staff
seeks
direction
to
prepare
amendments
to
two
plans
that
are
required
by
Housing
and
Urban
Development
and
in
a
later
slide
we
will
talk
about
those
details.
Next
slide,
please,
the
material
today
is
divided
into
four
parts.
L
You
may
already
know
that
all
federal
funding
comes
with
strings
attached
and
CDBG
is
no
different.
In
this
case,
the
federal
government
has
expanded
allowable
uses
to
limited
CDBG
sources
in
recognition
of
the
challenges
of
kovat
19.
We
will
talk
in
a
bit
of
about
how
to
achieve
funding
works,
including
its
target
outcomes
and
populations.
Then
we'll
share
with
you
what
local
information
sources
say
about
the
greatest
needs
and
how
CDBG
funds
can
help.
L
We
will
also
outline
for
the
council
the
guiding
principle
staff
used
to
evaluate
those
data
which
will
lead
us
to
a
staff
recommendation
for
the
council's
consideration
and
eventual
direction
for
next
steps.
Next
slide,
please,
before
moving
directly
into
the
topic
of
CDBG,
I,
want
to
pause
and
clarify
for
Council
and
the
audience
a
point
of
confusion.
L
You
may
recall
that
the
data
from
service
providers
said
that
at
that
time,
emergency
financial
assistance
had
been
the
greatest
need
during
the
crisis
and
I
affirmed
that
fact,
with
the
council
in
my
presentation,
April
6th,
it
is
important
to
remember
that
such
Human
Services
funding
is
the
city's
money
and
that
city
rolls
determined
the
allocation
of
that
money.
The
city
also
was
able
to
act
quickly
in
that
case,
because
just
two
steps
were
necessary
to
allocate
the
funds
1.
The
City
Council
authorized.
L
The
expansion
to
the
city
manager
executed
amendments
to
the
contracts
with
service
providers,
so
no
additional
public
vetting
process
was
necessary
because
the
providers
were
already
bedded
and
already
on
contract.
So
rules
of
Bellevue,
Human
Services
funding
are
very
different
from
the
rules
of
federal
CDBG
funding
and
now
I'll
turn
our
attention
back
to
the
CDBG
discussion.
Next
slide.
L
Please,
the
federal
government
authorized
additional
CDBG
funding
with
expanded
special
allowances
for
communities
across
the
United
States
coming
to
the
city
of
Bellevue
is
an
additional
amount
of
four
hundred
eighty
nine
thousand
six
hundred
twenty
three
dollars
and
it
will
be
available
on
a
reimbursement
basis
for
certain
defined
CDBG
services
that
have
suffered
extra
expenses
due
specifically
took
of
in
nineteen.
The
CDBG
CB
designation,
you
see
at
the
top
of
the
slide
is
specifically
referring
to
covered
19
special
version
of
CDBG
funding
in
response
to
the
urgency
of
the
virus
impacts.
L
Congress
also
adjusted
some
rules
to
extend
the
help
to
more
people.
They
remove
the
spending
limits
per
eligible
category
and
retroactively
Lee
applied
those
rules
to
Prior
CDBG
funding.
Now
I
will
ask
assistant
directors
Parsa
to
describe
for
the
council
what
the
expanded
allowances
mean
and
why
the
City
of
Bellevue
has
available
prior
CDBG
funds.
M
Good
evening
mayor
w
mayor
and
councilmembers
HUD
establishes
percentage
spending
caps
on
certain
eligible
activities
for
CDBG
dollars.
There
is
a
20%
cap
for
spending
related
to
administrative
administration
and
planning
against
which
the
city
can
get
reimbursed
for
the
time
needed
for
the
administrative
and
planning
of
any
use
of
our
CDBG
funds.
There
is
also
a
15%
cap
related
to
public
services,
which
is
the
HUD
term
for
Human
Services.
The
City
of
Bellevue
has
historically
used
the
full
amount
of
dull
dollars
that
is
available
to
us
for
public
services.
M
The
remainder
of
City
of
Bellevue
CDBG
dollars
have
historically
been
largely
designated
to
capital
projects
which
have
met
the
requirements
for
CDBG
eligible
activities
such
as
rehabilitation
or
real
property
acquisition.
These
projects
come
with
extensive
requirements
from
HUD
in
order
to
qualify.
In
addition,
the
council
has
previously
approved
allocating
CDBG
dollars
towards
two
different
projects:
the
Bellevue,
Boys
and
Girls
Club
had
a
planned
property
acquisition
and
life
wire.
A
local
domestic
violence
agency
also
had
a
planned
property
acquisition.
M
Neither
of
these
agencies
were
able
to
move
forward
with
their
projects,
so
we
then
had
a
total
of
five
hundred
and
six
thousand
nine
hundred
and
thirty-four
dollars
in
unspent
dollars.
We
had
been
looking
for
another
similar
eligible
activity
that
would
have
met
the
necessary
requirements.
However,
as
mr.
McCowan
noted,
HUD
has
expanded
the
spending
cap
for
public
services
removing
the
15%
cap.
This
is
for
both
the
new
CDBG
CV
dollars
we
are
receiving
and
for
past
year,
unspent
dollars
so
long
as
the
funding
is
used
in
ways
related
to
copa90.
L
Thank
you
very
much.
I
will
next
slide.
Please
now
we'll
highlight
what
this
CDBG
funding
is
aiming
to
achieve.
First,
it
will
reimburse
agencies
for
certain
ongoing,
documented
costs
that
are
directly
attributable
to
cover
19.
It
cannot
supplant
or
replace
otherwise
normal
business
costs
of
an
agency
in
general.
Nor
can
it
supplant
other
funding.
The
city
would
have
provided
to
the
agency.
L
M
M
The
third
national
objective
is
designated
by
HUD
as
meeting
urgent
needs,
and
this
is
typically
used
as
a
response
to
a
natural
disaster
is
defined
as
a
serious
and
immediate
threat
to
the
health
or
welfare
of
the
community
of
recent
origin
and
with
no
other
funding
available
to
remediate
it
along
with
multiple
other
jurisdictions.
We
have
sought
guidance
from
HUD
to
determine
if
the
impacts
of
Kovan
19
would
meet
this
criteria
that
have
not
yet
received
that
guidance
from
HUD.
L
Thank
you
Tony
and
next
slide,
please
so
who
are
the
intended
beneficiaries
of
CDBG?
As
you
see,
they
are
targeted
in
three
ways
and
focused
on
helping
individuals
in
certain
groupings.
One
is
low
and
moderate
income
residents.
A
second
is
low
and
moderate
income
neighborhoods
and
in
Debbie's
case
no
neighborhood
meets
HUDs
criteria
for
this
target
group
and
a
third
way
is
either
low
and
moderate
income
owners
of
businesses
or
a
group
of
low
and
moderate
income
employees
of
small
businesses.
L
These
the
target
people
groups
under
CDBG
and
will
soon
talk
about
the
categories
of
service
in
a
later
slide.
A
next
slide.
Please
HUD
has
strict
requirements
for
process
and
levels
of
approval,
not
to
mention
documentation
and
reporting.
After
our
pool
on
the
slide,
you
see
the
normal
steps
to
approve
a
service
provider
that
will
deliver
CDBG
qualified
services
to
people.
Processing
applications
has
its
own
due
diligence
and
public
engagement,
as
required
by
HUD,
based
on
city
policies
and
HUD
criteria.
L
The
Human
Services
Commission
recommends
a
list
of
applicants
that
will
satisfy
the
service
goals
of
the
council
and
HUD
and
is
submitted
to
the
council
for
approval
and
upon
approval
by
council.
The
Human
Services
Commission
then
approves
a
HUD
action
plan
and
a
HUD
citizen
participation
plan,
both
of
which
the
staff
will
then
turn
around
and
submit
to
HUD
for
its
approval
and
once
HUD
approves
both
of
those
plans.
City
staff
will
prepare
contracts
for
the
city
manager
to
authorize
signature
for
all
the
service
providers
that
the
council
agreed
to.
L
So
what
I
just
summarized
is
normal,
which
takes
roughly
six
months.
However,
with
this
special
CDBG
funding
under
kovat
19,
there
are
some
parts
of
process
that
could
be
different.
You
know
order
to
act
more
quickly.
Next
slide,
please
I
would
highlight
that
HUD
has
already
shortened
to
process
requirements.
The
public
comment
period
is
shortened
from
30
to
5
days,
and
the
HUD
plan
review
period
is
shortened
from
45
to
5
days.
The
city
may
also
abbreviate
some
process
steps.
L
In
fact,
by
considering
this
special
CDBG
funding
tonight,
the
council
is
already
shortening
the
timeline
in
addition
to
meeting
tonight.
New
contracts
could
be
awarded
sooner
in
some
cases,
and
the
city
may
decide
on
a
shorter
advertisement
period
for
applications.
If
that
applies
to
the
decisions
tonight
so
potentially,
depending
on
the
council's
direction,
this
evening
we
may
be
able
to
satisfy
the
five-day
public
comment
period
forehead
and
be
ready.
The
following
Monday
on
May
18th,
with
appropriation
ordinances
and
embedded
action
plans.
L
Next
slide,
please,
as
staff
has
taken
in
the
data
and
listened
to
stakeholders,
the
recommendation
this
evening
will
be
guided
by
these
four
principles
you
see
on
the
screen
would
which
are
to
focus
on
where
the
emergence
emerging
needs
are
greatest
get
the
best
value
for
the
dollar
spent,
pursue
ways
to
allocate
funding
as
quickly
as
possible
and
expand
help
through
CDBG
to
community
partners
that
are
trusted
messengers
with
specialized
cultural
and
linguistic
services.
I
want
to
highlight
that
principles,
3
and
4
work
a
bit
in
tension
with
each
other.
L
On
one
hand,
principle
3
meets
the
value
of
significantly
shortening
the
timeline
to
award
agencies
and,
on
the
other
hand,
number
4
would
meet
the
value
of
allowing
a
fair
opportunity
to
add
a
trusted
messenger
agency,
which
needs
a
little
bit
more
time.
It
still
can
happen
much
faster
than
normal,
yet
not
as
fast.
These
principles
are
part
of
what
informs
the
staff
recommendation
you'll
hear
in
in
just
a
little
while
guided
by
these
principles,
then
we
also
evaluated
what
the
research
says
next
slide.
Please.
L
It
is
important
to
understand
what
the
research
and
data
say
about
the
needs
and
how
those
needs
can
be
best
served
within
the
rules
of
CDBG
funding.
On
the
slide
you
see
listed
the
data
sources
we
depend
on
and
the
service
categories
that
rise
to
the
top
in
both
need
and
best
fit
within
CDBG
rules
to
walk
the
council
through
this
slide.
I'll
turn
it
over
again
to
Toni
Esparza.
M
As
you
each
know,
the
city
conducts
a
biannual
Human
Services
needs
assessment
and
update,
and
this
data
provides
the
foundation
of
our
understanding
of
need
in
the
community,
although
prior
to
Kovan
19.
This
data
highlights
which
people
groups
were
already
vulnerable,
which
systems
were
already
stretched
or
fractured,
and
we
can
use
this
data
to
focus
our
attention
on
residues
and
services
that
would
likely
be
hardest
hit
by
the
impacts
of
Coben
19.
In
addition,
our
Human
Services
staff
are
currently
in
regular
contact
with
our
agencies
to
assess
the
need
they
are
seeing
firsthand.
M
Our
staff
were
participating
in
a
number
of
weekly
convening
calls
with
providers.
One
is
hosted
by
Eastside
pathways
and
is
open
to
a
wide
diversity
of
agencies
and
interested
constituents.
Another
is
hosted
by
nourishing
networks
and
focuses
on
food
needs
in
the
community,
and
another
is
a
convening
of
service
providers
for
the
homeless.
We
are
also
tracking
data
provided
at
the
county
state
and
federal
level
that
highlight
needs
and
trends.
Our
assessment
of
where
the
greatest
needs
lie
and
where
City
of
Bellevue
CDBG
dollars
can
make.
The
greatest
impact
is
formed
from
this
data.
M
As
you
can
see,
we
have
provided
a
list
of
what
we
assess
to
be
the
top
four
areas
of
need
that
are
also
eligible
for
CDBG
funding.
I
will
briefly
speak
to
each
area
and
the
data
that
support
our
assessment.
The
first
noted
as
a
top
need,
is
homeless
services
and
several
key
data
points
made
this
area
of
need
rise
to
the
top.
First,
all
Eastside
shelters
have
seen
increased
demand.
M
This,
coupled
with
the
increased
cost
of
responding
to
Coba
19,
have
taxed
their
systems
almost
to
the
breaking
point,
while
the
county
has
stepped
in
to
help
with
the
cost
of
hotels,
to
help
address
the
increase
in
demand
and
the
need
for
social
distancing,
there
are
still
drastically
increased
costs
associated
with
extra
staffing,
food
and
sanitation.
Our
shelters
serve
some
of
our
most
vulnerable
residents
and
without
support
these
residents
basic,
drastically
disproportionate
risk
of
contracting
Cova
19
and
that's
a
higher
risk
of
transmission.
In
addition,
residents
who
are
homeless
have
less
access
to
health
care.
M
Our
shelters
also
extend
extensive
support
services
to
their
clients
in
areas
such
as
mental
health
support
and
supports
for
substance
use
disorders.
These
services
become
even
more
vital
during
this
crisis.
Unfortunately,
our
shelters
were
already
projecting
a
deficit
of
over
1.3
million
dollars.
Prior
to
the
Cova
crisis.
M
The
shelters
are
estimating
their
direct
costs
related
to
Colvin
19,
to
be
close
to
$900,000,
with
projections
only
going
through
the
end
of
May
and,
as
we
all
know,
this
likely
to
go
on
much
longer
without
additional
financial
assistance,
our
shelters
face
the
very
real
likelihood
of
either
reduction
in
services
or
closure.
One
shelter
has
already
had
to
reduce
their
services,
and
other
shelters
are
facing.
This
additional
funding
is
not
provided.
M
The
next
area
of
need,
we
have
highlighted,
is
emergency
financial
assistance
when
this
is
provided
via
local
agencies.
This
is
largely
used
for
rent
assistance
to
residents.
However,
agencies
also
have
the
latitude
to
use
these
dollars
to
address
other
needs
that
can
offset
the
need
for
rental
assistance.
One
example
would
be
the
clients
are
experiencing
unexpected
medical
bills
related
to
Kovan
19.
If
the
clients
can
receive
assistance
with
these
medical
bills,
then
it
would
prevent
the
need
for
assistance.
M
The
council
previously
responded
to
the
increased
need
for
emergency
financial
assistance
with
an
additional
four
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
added
to
the
existing
contracts.
Five
agencies,
however,
this
need
is
continuing
to
mount.
Providers,
have
reported
that
the
demand
for
assistance
is
two
to
three
times
higher
than
what
it
was
prior
to
Coba
19
and,
as
residents
continue
to
face
wage
loss
and
unemployment.
This
demand
is
expected
to
only
grow
larger,
with
residents
potentially
needing
multiple
months
of
assistance
and
families
that
have
never
before
sought
assistance
needing
it.
M
For
the
first
time,
the
next
area
of
need
that
we
have
highlighted
as
childcare
without
reliable
and
affordable
childcare,
parents
will
not
be
able
to
return
to
work
when
this
day
home
stay
safe
order
ends
even
before
the
Cova
19
pandemic.
East
King
County
cost
for
child
care
are
the
highest
in
the
county.
For
example,
a
family
with
an
infant
and
a
preschool
child
needing
full-time
care
could
face
costs
of
$32,000
per
year
or
castes
being
conducted
by
King.
M
M
The
current
unemployment
and
financial
crisis
means
that
a
larger
number
of
families
will
need
assistance
in
the
form
of
child
care
subsidies
in
the
future
to
pay
for
child
care
through
the
provision
of
child
care
subsidies.
Families
are
effectively
provided
with
another
means
of
emergency
financial
assistance.
These
subsidies
could
be
expanded
within
the
Bellevue
school
district
and
with
another
provider
with
whom
we
currently
contract
in
the
last
area
we
will
highlight
here
this
evening
would
be
legal
services
which
also
provide
services
to
survivors
of
domestic
violence.
M
Legal
services
and
legal
advocacy
respond
to
rising
needs
in
several
areas.
One
there
is
an
increasing
need
for
legal
advocacy
for
survivors
of
domestic
violence
who,
along
with
their
children,
are
sheltering
in
place
with
abusive
partners
and
are
thus
a
greater
risk
for
further
abuse.
The
Bellevue
Police
Department
has
reported
a
25
percent
increase
in
calls
for
domestic
violence
related
incidents,
life
wire,
a
local
agency
serving
domestic
violence,
survivors
reports
that
they
are
seeing
a
dramatic
increase
in
the
numbers
of
survivors
seeking
legal
help,
especially
with
filing
domestic
violence
protection
orders.
M
Their
legal
advocates
have
made
protection
orders
of
priority
and
have,
in
some
weeks,
worked
on
three
times
the
number
of
applications
they
may
have
handled
in
a
typical
week
prior
to
the
pandemic.
Esight
legal
assistance
program
also
reports
that
calls
to
their
hotline
from
do.
Survivors
of
domestic
violence
are
increasing
every
week
when
they
reach
out
for
help
and
legal
advocacy.
Their
providers
are
then
also
able
to
help
clients
with
much-needed
mental
health
support,
according
to
other
legal
advocacy
providers.
M
L
Thank
you
very
much
next
slide,
please,
as
I
said
earlier
by
virtue
of
the
potential
that
the
council
may
provide
direction
this
evening
on
special
CDBG
funding.
The
council
is
already
accelerating
part
of
the
approval
process
and
keep
in
mind
that
one
of
the
four
principles
is
expediting.
Approval
of
service
providers
and
on
the
screen
are
listed
ways.
Process
options
help
inform
how
approval
of
service
providers
can
happen
sooner.
The
first,
let
look
with
me
at
item
1a,
the
examples
of
homeless
services
in
childcare
have
few
service
providers
and
could
be
awarded
soon.
L
Any
agency
that
is
already
contracted
with
the
city
of
Bellevue
needs
no
further
vetting.
Other
agencies
that
were
already
vetted
yet
do
not
have
contracts
can
also
be
processed
faster.
As
noted
in
item
1b
on
the
screen,
another
of
the
four
guiding
principles
is
to
reach
more
service
providers
that
are
not
or
that
are
trusted
messengers
within
specialised
cultural
and
linguistic
populations.
There's
certainly
opportunity
for
that
also
for
service
options
under
number
2
on
the
slide,
with
a
shortened
application
window
shorter
review
period
by
HUD
and
with
acted
calls
to
potential
applicants.
L
The
city
has
a
really
good
chance
of
broadening
the
service
base
with
an
agency
that
may
never
have
been
part
of
Bellevue
service
partners
and
extend
its
reach
even
deeper
into
the
community.
Next
slide,
please,
the
staffs
recommendation
this
evening
meets
the
goals
of
all
four
guiding
principles
and
targets.
The
top
four
service
needs,
as
indicated
by
the
data
as
a
reminder
that
for
principals,
our
target,
the
greatest
needs,
find
the
best
value
for
the
investment,
seek
expedient
approval
of
service
providers
and
reach
traditionally
underserved
populations
through
trusted.
L
Messenger
agencies
on
the
slide
are
the
top
four
needs
with
the
currently
contracted
agencies
that
we
know
have
the
organizational
capacity
to
accept
these
CDBG
funds
and
can
deliver
on
the
services
that
will
meet
the
most
critical
needs.
In
addition,
staff
is
recommending
that
we
solicit
applications
from
new
agencies
that
will
meet
the
objective
of
guiding
principle
number
four,
which
is
to
reach
traditionally
underserved
populations.
L
As
part
of
this
effort
to
contract
a
new
agency
in
the
service
category
of
emergency
financial
assistance
staff
recommends
reserving
one
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
the
two
hundred
six
thousand
nine
thirty-four
for
that
contract.
So,
to
be
clear
to
meet
principle,
three
four
expedient
process:
the
recommendation
it
under
emergency
financial
assistance
is
to
commit
one
hundred,
six
thousand
nine,
thirty,
four
to
hope,
link
and
then
to
meet
principle.
Four
of
partnering
with
an
agency
that
specializes
in
an
underserved
population
staff,
recommends
committing
one
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
an
agency.
L
Yet
to
be
determined,
we
intend
to
make
the
turnaround
time
for
review
as
quickly
as
possible
one
resource
we
have
on
hand,
that
is
the
applicant
pool
for
the
local
Bell
V
hood
Human,
Services
funding
process
it.
So
it's
an
easy
first
place
for
us
to
look
next
slide
in
support
of
guiding
principle
number
three
for
expediency.
We
also
recommend
amending
certain
plans
that
are
required
by
HUD.
These
amendments
would
ordinarily
be
approved
by
the
Human
Services
Commission.
L
So
for
the
citizen
partition
participation
plan,
the
amendments
would
be
two
things
to
change:
the
approval
authority
to
the
City
Council
from
the
Human
Services
Commission,
and
to
reduce
the
comment
period
to
five
days
from
30
days
to
match.
Huds
change,
then
for
the
2019
action
plan.
We
recommend
amendments.
That
also
would
do
two
things.
One
accept
this
special
CDBG
funding
and
to
list
the
current
projects
that
qualify
under
koban
19.
These
amendments
would
return
to
council
as
a
companion
to
the
legislation
that
would
approve
the
funding
next
slide
and
the
last
slide
again.
L
This
is
really
good
news
that
the
council
will
have
before
it
the
opportunity
to
welcome
new
federal
funding
and
authorize
it
for
critical
needs
in
the
community
staff.
Seeks
councillors
direction
this
evening
to
prepare
the
legislation
and
I'm
in
the
plans
that
will
allocate
special
CDBG
funding
due
to
public
19
and
come
back
for
approval
by
Council
at
a
future
meeting.
To
that
end,
we
are
available
to
take
councils
questions,
feedback
and
direction.
A
C
M
M
So
in
looking
at
shelters,
one
of
the
things
that
brought
that
to
the
top
was
actually
return
on
investment,
recognizing
that
dollars
towards
our
shelters
brings
a
return
for
our
entire
community
and
emergency
financial
assistance,
as
I
know
that
we've
discussed
here
with
the
council
many
times
before
and
the
council
is
aware.
Preventing
homelessness
is,
is
a
much
stronger
investment
than
trying
to
bring
someone
out
of
homelessness
once
they
have
already
experienced
it
and
then
looking
at
child
care,
as
one
of
as
I
mentioned.
M
D
M
They
can
receive
these
services
and
for
a
survivor
of
domestic
violence
get
to
a
safe
place.
It
can
offset
costs
that
can
escalate
further
when
a
family
needs
additional
care
or
or
could
become
homeless.
So
it
also
could
be
preventative,
and
that
is
what
we're
also
seeing
coming
up
with
the
needs
for
other
residents
when
they
need
legal
advocacy
in
the
area
of
landlord
tenant
relations
or
in
some
unfortunate
predatory
practices
that
are
taking
place.
If
we
can
have
them
receive
assistance
now
before
it
goes
much
further
in
the
cost
get
larger.
C
M
Definitely
would
force
the
these
four
needs
remaining
at
the
top
or
near
at
the
top.
Okay
I
think
there
could
be
others
that
will
emerge
that
we
cannot
quite
predict
right
now,
but
I
think
these
will
continue
to
be
areas
that
our
residents
need
assistance
throughout
this
pandemic
and
in
the
recovery
season
as
well.
All.
J
So
in
order
to
decide
where
the
best
place
for
them,
but
also
applying
that
equity,
lens
and
thinking
about
preventative
approaches,
in
addition
to
the
existing
needs,
I
appreciate
that
holistic
approach
to
it.
So
I
don't
have
any
further
comments,
but
just
one
is
applaud
you
for
that.
Thank
you
for
that
burden
appreciated.
G
Couple
of
questions
so
on
the
on
the
legal
assistance
you
have
domestic
violence
there,
but
the
things
that
you
described,
that
the
legal
assistance
funding
would
go
to
is
not
necessarily
domestic
violence
and
with
domestic
violence
up
something
like
20%
with
the
stay
home
order.
I'm
very
concerned
about
making
sure
that
we
have
facilities
were
where
victims
and
their
children
can
go
to
as
well
as
legal
assistance
to
help
them
stay
safe.
So
what
percentage
are
we
planning
to
designate
of
the
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
to
go
specifically
to
domestic
violence?
L
So
I'll
start
and
Tony
can
follow
me
here,
but
the
domestic
violence
is
actually
a
subset
of
the
legal
assistance.
So
you
heard
a
list
of
things
that
have
been
emergency
emerging
that
need
legal
assistance
and
the
top
of
those
is
domestic
violence,
assistance
Tony.
You
have
something
to
add
to
that.
Yes,.
M
Thank
you
specifically
on
the
detailed
recommendations
about
agencies.
Two
of
the
three
agencies
we
are
recommending
legal
advocacy
funding
to
would
be
using
that
for
domestic
violence
survivors,
so
that
would
be
conceivable
and
lightwire
and
then
ii
said.
Legal
assistance
program
provides
legal
advocacy
on
a
broader
range
of
issues.
Okay,.
G
So
would
that
be
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
then
be
split.
Three
ways
between
those
three
agencies
so
hundred
would
go
to
DV
legal
assistance
and
fifty
to
general.
This
is
a
recommendation,
yes,
okay,
that
makes
sense
to
me
and
then
on
the
vetting
which
was
put
on
I,
think
it
was
page,
twelve
or
fourteen.
G
So
if
there's
a
provider
that
gets
left
out
because
they
weren't
vetted
yet
they
can
get
into
that
system,
but
I
would
just
assume
work
with
providers
that
have
already
been
vetted
whether
they
have
gotten
grants
in
the
past
or
not
because
I
just
think
it
makes
a
lot
more
sense.
It
takes
time
for
us
to
distribute
the
money.
It
takes
time
for
them
to
distribute
the
money
and
as
we're
deciding
who
to
distribute
it
to
that's
slowing
things
down
and
people
really
need
help
today.
G
So
my
option,
my
my
suggestion
would
be
option
one
on
page
12
services,
where
there
are
a
few
to
provide
it
to
entities
vetted
already
and
I
would
note
that
part
of
the
Human
Services
vetting
is
all
about
equity
and
making
sure
that
that
the
providers
can
provide
to
people
who
don't
speak
English.
You
may
have
a
different
cultural
background,
so
that
is
already
taken
into
account
in
the
vetting.
That's
already
happened,
so
that's
my
two
cents
I'm
a
little
bit
over
three
minutes,
so
I'm
gonna
stop.
K
You
know
I
too,
agree
I,
that
this
has
been
a
tremendous
effort.
I
really
appreciate
it
and
I
think
this
is
a
good
example
of
how
we
work
together
on
things
like
this
and
the
briefings.
The
discussion
back
and
forth
has
been
very,
very
helpful,
I'm,
very,
very
satisfied.
With
the
plan
going
forward.
There
are
nuances
and
I
think
we
have.
You
know
you
take
those
into
account
and
I
appreciate.
The
comments
are
just
made.
K
I
think
that
obviously
you're
going
to
look
at
and
go
with
providers
wearing
know
about
I
would
like
to
see
a
little
the
ability,
if
some,
if
we
needed,
have
a
certain
need,
there's
nobody
addressing
it
and
if
somebody
knew
you
know,
there's
some
flexibility.
There
I
trust
the
staff
to
look
at
that,
and
actually,
in
some
cases
that
will
make
it
even
go
faster.
So
we're
all
talking
about
the
same
thing:
let's
get
this
done
in
the
best
way
possible
and
I
think
we
have
a
good
system
for
figuring
out
how
to
do
that.
K
One
of
the
concerns
I
had
on
the
beginning
and
kind
of
in
the
discussions.
Some
extent
is,
you
know
whether
we're
going
to
do
our
normal
thing,
sometimes
we're
just
peanut
butter,
things
and
I
think
the
focus
on
the
major
of
courts
and
money
going
to
those
first
two
categories
and
then
particularly
first
category
and
then
some
for
the
other
is
important
because
there
are
interrelated
and
none
of
them
are
adequate
for
what
we
need
to
do.
But
I
think
what
we've
done
and
it's
based
a
lot
on
policies.
The
council
is
set
over
time.
E
E
$450,000
previously-
and
now
you
know
with
the
CDBG
money
coming
and
this
wonderful
opportunity
to
add
on
to
it
and
in
addition,
the
city
has
another,
a
loan
money
of
four
hundred
eighteen,
ninety
five
hundred
six
thousand
dollars.
You
know
that's
left
over
from
the
previous
money
that
we
now
can
spend
and
we
we're
doing
great
job.
So
I
would
a
compliment.
The
staff
or
everybody
else
to
do
this,
especially
the
staff
now
trying
to
come
up
with
responding
to
the
emergency.
E
Obviously
discovered
and
I
agree
with
the
data
analysis,
category
that
you've
indicated
and
I
support.
All
that
with
some
special
may
be
inputs.
That
I
like
to
to
put
in
one
is
what
the
deputy
mayor
kinda
mentioned.
You
know
the
money
we
put
in.
We
need
to
have
some
understanding
discretion
of
what
is
the
biggest
bang
for
the
buck
and
I.
There's
no
question
that
homelessness.
Yes,
it
is
finance
is
no
question
childcare.
E
E
What
makes
legal
assistance
become
a
legal
challenge
getting
the
lawyers
involved
is
because
the
underlying
problems-
you
know
the
things
that
we
earlier
mission,
so
the
lawyers
getting
mob
and
they
start
fighting
and
we
have
to
pay
for
lawyers
to
me.
I
think
we
need
to
make
sure
we
fund
it
fundamentally
handle
the
issues
underlining
issues
so
I.
Don't
you
know
mine
doing
that,
but
I
feel
that
the
next
one
underlined
economic
development.
This
is
where
we
are
really
looking
at
the
future.
E
How
do
we
recover
and
get
the
money
resources
to
do
all
the
things
we
need
to
do,
such
as
homelessness,
child
care,
financial
assistance?
So
I
will
really
like
to
see
what
a
couple
of
things
that
we
can
do
to
help
small
businesses
to
help
individuals
more
illness.
We've
already
done,
the
the
Eno
tax
deferral
I.
Think
that's
a
good
thing,
but
you
know
this
is
the
addition.
E
So
I
I
would
like
to
suggest
take
a
look
to
see
that
might
be
one
or
two
opportunities
in
terms
of
economic
recovery
to
help
you
know
because
they
come
back,
they
bring
money
back.
If
we
don't
have
them
in
business,
you
know
we
cannot
afford
to
pay
all
the
things
that
we
want
to
do
because
we're
not
in
financial
position
to
do
so.
So
that
might
be
something
to
think
about.
I
know
it's
not
easy,
but
I
do
like
to
suggest
that
the
second
one
they
liked
man.
F
F
M
F
I
see
okay,
well,
that
makes
sense
to
me
so
I
like
the
guiding
principles.
I
support
all
of
the
pieces
I'm
as
I.
Look
at
the
list,
I'm
also
making
sure
that
seniors
are
also
going
to
be
served
amongst
this
group.
So
would
they
be
served
more
from
the
financial
assistance
if
they're
struggling
to
to
address
whatever
challenges
they
might
have
right
now,
I.
M
Would
foresee
seniors
most
being
served
through
emergency
financial
assistance?
I
also
could
see
seniors,
unfortunately,
needing
to
take
advantage
of
legal
advocacy
due
to
predatory
practices
that
are
affecting
all
of
our
most
vulnerable
communities
right
now,
whether
that
is
false
unemployment
claims
or
people
reaching
out
and
asking
for
information,
so
that
people
can
access
benefits
and
and
residents,
giving
that
information,
unknowingly
and
unwittingly,
so
that
could
also
be
a
vital
resource
for
them.
So.
F
That
may
be
an
area
that
we,
the
next
tranche
of
funding,
that
we
may
want
to
support,
needs
to
support
the
legal
assistance,
because
it's
much
broader
and
may
encompass
many
different
community.
That
needs
help
so
and
then
I
agree
that
I
think
also
the
businesses.
So
it's
both
the
people
and
the
business.
Thank
you.
Okay.
A
Thank
you,
council
members
on
so
I'll.
Take
my
three
minutes
here.
I
want
to
start
by
thanking
the
congressional
leaders
that
we
have
that
fought
for
us
to
get
this
money.
This
was
very
hard
fought
for
and
they
were
I
know.
The
first
federal
care
package
relief
package
was
delayed
because
they
were
fighting
for
it
so
hard
for
us
for
these
dollars.
So
I
just
really
appreciate
that
I
also
want
to
put
in
context
who
were
talking
about
with
the
80%
ami.
A
That
would
be
a
single
individual
earning
fifty
six
thousand
dollars
a
year
or
less
or
a
family
of
four
earning
$80,000
a
year
or
less
so
that's
Bellevue
is
a
very
expensive
place
to
live.
I
appreciate
the
top
needs
and
I
completely
agree
with
those
I
have
a
few
questions
with
the
homeless
services.
Congregations
for
the
homeless
is
a
no-brainer.
Sophia
way
is
kind
of
a
kirkland
responsibility
that
is
currently
in
Bellevue
and
Friends
of
youth
is
a
Redmond
responsibility
that
is
in
Redmond.
L
D
M
Not
having
every
jurisdiction
try
to
split
their
dollars
amongst
all
four
agencies,
so
ideally
the
city
of
Kirkland
and
the
City
of
Redmond
each
have
approximately
$200,000
in
funding
that
they
will
be
making
recommendations
on
so
if
each
of
their
dollars
were
to
be
approved
to
go
forward
to
one
of
these
shelters
and
if
ours
was
approved
to
move
forward
with
two
that
was
where
part
of
that
recommendation
came
from.
In
addition,
it
is
much
easier
to
gain
approval
on
reimbursement
to
an
agency
that
is
within
your
city,
then,
outside
of
it.
M
A
A
Ok,
well
that
that
covers
that,
but
I
know
that
the
Bellevue,
Boys
and
Girls
Club
is
serving
a
lot
of
the
healthcare
professionals
that
Overlake
and
evergreen
hospitals.
So
there
they're
in
need
of
funding
to
continue
doing
that
and
do
not
receive
vouchers.
For
that.
So
is
that
something
we
should
consider.
M
So
we
do
currently
provide
funding
to
the
Bellevue
Boys
and
Girls
Club,
with
our
Human
Services
funding
and
I'm.
Sorry,
mr.
Macomb
and
I
don't
know
that
I'm
clear
on
what
you're
asking
as
far
as
subcontracted
with
the
Bellevue
school
district.
They
are
partnering
with
the
Bellevue
school
district
right
now.
They
are
indeed,
as
the
mayor
has
noted,
doing
a
tremendous
job
I'm
serving
our
essential
and
frontline
workers.
A
A
C
No
other
questions
for
me.
I
really
appreciate
all
the
the
great
comments
here,
I'm
ready
to
move
forward.
Oh
actually
one
quick
question:
Nathan
will
we
see
if
we
do
add
one
more
provider?
Would
we
see
who
that
provider
is
when
we,
when
this
comes
back
before
us,
or
will
you
have
at
that
point?
We
know
who
that
provider
is.
That's
still,
you
know
one
or
two
yet
to
be
named
provider.
So.
L
There
are
two
parts
actually
in
the
answer
to
that
question.
So,
yes,
when
we
obtain
a
new
provider,
the
council
will
see
that
and
actually
have
to
approve
it.
Okay,
will
it
be
with
this
first
set?
That
was
on
the
recommendation
slide.
No,
it
would
not.
We
would
have
to
satisfy,
for
example,
the
the
HUD
five
day
comment
period
and
then
make
sure
we
get
it
back
on
the
council's
agenda,
got
it
got
it.
Thank
you,
mm-hmm.
K
Do
hope
we
don't
get
kind
of
bogged
down
in
to
do
we'll
see.
We
got
this
more,
that
one
I
think
staffs
done
a
great
job
in
the
knees
it's
greater
than
what
we
have,
but
we
can
look
at
that.
I
did
while
I
comment
on
the
question
of
the
legal
assistance
and
just
to
make
clear
this
is
not
paying
a
bunch
of
lawyers
to
do
work.
This
is
helping
it's
a
lot
of.
K
You
know,
look
at
laughs
and
like
work,
it's
really
helping
people
with
attorneys,
helping
them
working
for
the
agency
working
the
agencies
from
basically
volunteer
basis
and
there
are
cost,
but
it's
helping
people
get
relocated
and
follow
through
and
all
that
kind
of
thing.
So
it's
not
right.
I
think
it's
a
very,
very
appropriate
approach
on
this
and
I
would
not
want
to
take
it
into,
and
yes,
I'd
love
to
have
some
more
work
for
small
businesses,
but
I.
K
Don't
think
that's
within
these
categories,
so
I'm
just
saying
you
know,
looking
at
from
that
standpoint
and
and
I
do
think
that,
in
terms
of
particularly
with
Sofia
way,
they
are
in
Bellevue.
Now-
and
you
know,
we
work
together
as
a
region
in
the
cities,
all
human
service
needs
and
particularly
with
the
homeless
pieces,
so
I
think
again,
I
just
hope.
We
don't
get
bogged
down
into
too
much
on
I.
K
E
E
You
know
I
rather
do
right.
You
know
we
can
always
do
things
more
efficiently,
but
quickly.
It's
our
city's
money,
our
city's
program.
If
we
cannot
do
it,
hey
we
better
get
on
it
and
do
a
better
job
at
it.
So
I
think
that
you
know
we
have
to
have
this
view,
people
the
population
who
normally
are
not
going
to
be.
You
know
in
such
a
dire
shape
and
I
think
the
program
we're
talking
about
applies
to
everybody.
E
You
know
I
mean
everyone,
everybody
can
be
homeless,
everybody
can
be
financial
says
anybody
need
childcare
and
so
to
domestic
violence.
What
not
the
legal
services?
That's
fine
and
economic
recovery,
so
I
believe.
However,
it's
the
people
who
are
in
need,
who
don't
know
the
root
system
who
don't
know
how
to
open
doors
we
are
not
represented.
E
These
are
the
people
that
need
to
be
always
represented
and
if
they
will
not
represent
during
the
normal
times,
you
know
they're
going
to
be
much
or
save
now,
and
this
is
the
opportunity
that
we
have
to
reach
out
to
them
and
so
I
think
it's
very
important
that
we
do
find.
This
is
the
time
to
find
those
opportunities
to
take
the
extra
step.
You
know,
as
I've
mentioned
before
extraordinary
time
requires
extraordinary
action
and
we
need
to
establish
those,
and
we
have
agencies.
I.
Think
we
can
come
up
with
see.
Is
this
one?
E
He
is
one
international
community
health
is
one.
The
many
of
them
are
on
King,
our
nursing
home
for
seniors
this
all-agency
stepping
around.
If
you
havenõt
be
using
in
them,
we
are
not
doing
the
job,
so
I
believe
that
we
need
to
make
sure
we
reach
out.
This
is
opportunity
to
it,
and
this
is
the
money
that
we
have.
E
This
is
five
hundred
six
thousand
dollars
and
we
will
do
it
we'll
make
sure
we
make
every
effort,
so
an
IKE
will
play
you
know
I
think
we
need
to
whether
we
have
one
agency
or
more
than
one.
It
doesn't
matter
that
much
if
we
can
get
one
with
you
get
to
reinga
3,
if,
if
that's
there,
so
many,
if
the
needs
are
there,
if
they
are
all
qualified
and
they
can
represent
the
underrepresented
community
and
population
I
believe
is
very
important.
We
need
to
have
that.
Thank.
F
So
I
also
believe
that
on
the
new
provider
and
and
one
that
is
the
trusted,
messenger
is
very,
very
important.
So
my
question
is
this:
can
we
can
that
be
crafted
where,
if
we
do
identify
more
than
one
that
it
is
up
to
$100,000
to
one
or
more
agencies,
and
then
my
second
question
is
I-
do
see
that
the
agents
that
councilmember
Lee
talked
about
a
CR,
SC
SC
ichs
are
already
on
the
list
of
agencies
we
previously
funded.
M
F
F
L
Of
all
the
funding
types
council
members
own
yeah,
some
sense.
Yes,
there
are
so
you
may
be
aware
that
the
Human
Services
funding
process
has
begun.
Applications
have
come
in,
so
that
is
one
way
to
reach
populations
that
you're
talking
about,
and
there
are
some
other
federal
funding
allocations.
As
the
mayor
had
pointed
out
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting
that
are
on
the
horizon
and
staff
has
been
diligently
trying
to
study
all
the
documentation
that
describes
their
eligibility
locally
here
and
I'm
sure.
L
L
A
Thank
you
so
I
know
that
there
are
other
funding
resources
coming
through
the
CLO
Foundation
will
be
distributing
funding.
We
may
get
funding
from
the
county,
I
mean
there's
going
to
be
lots
of
opportunities
and
I
know
we're
trying
to
move
quickly
with
this
CBD
G
money
so
that
we
can
get
it
out
there.
So
this
will
not
be
the
last
chance
to
vet
agencies
that
are
in
need
during
this
time,
but
looking
at
the
recommendations
from
staff
of
the
most
critical
needs
and
the
best
value
for
the
dollar
I
appreciate
these
recommendations.
A
A
I
guess
that's
a
question
I
have
if
we
could
ask
them
about
looking
into
that,
finding
making
sure
we're
reaching
the
populations
that
are
the
most
difficult
to
reach,
because
I
know
they've
been
asking
at
all
the
Human
Service
meetings
for
recommendations
on
how
to
reach
out
to
those
communities
and
I.
Just
I
would
like
to
make
sure
that
Bellevue,
Boys
and
Girls
Club
is
not
serving
low-income
employees
at
the
hospital
and
and
if
there
is
a
way
to
see,
if
that
we
should
share
some
of
that
money
with
them.
A
A
G
M
Could
be,
or
it
could
be,
an
entirely
new
agency.
We
are
wanting
to
provide
the
opportunity
for
agencies
that
may
have
developed
new
services
over
the
past
two
years
and
expanded
and
been
nimble
in
response
to
the
community
that
they
serve
to
identify
that
to
us
or
for
agencies
that
we
may
be
unfamiliar
with.
In
addition
to
submit
applications,
it
could
be
either
one.
G
Okay,
well,
I
know
we're
not
deciding
exactly
who
tonight,
but
let
me
just
put
my
stake
in
the
ground
that
you
know
the
Human
Services
Commission
is
the
Commission
that
vets
these
nonprofits.
They
have
done
a
lot
of
vetting.
It
sounds
like
we
have
a
lot
of
different
organizations
to
choose
from
they.
G
That's
not
been
vetted
having
a
fast-track
vetting,
it's
really
important
that
we
have
agencies
that
have
proven
themselves
and
the
Human
Services
Commission
does
a
deep
dive
on
their
financials
and
their
stability
and
etc,
etc,
etc,
and
I
think
that
it
is.
We
rely
on
them
for
that
and
if
we
were
going
around
them
for
this,
but
if
we
go
around
them
and
pick
someone,
that's
never
been
vetted,
then
I
think
that
that's
a
would
be
a
mistake
and
it
wouldn't
be
the
wise
thing
to
do
so.
G
A
L
E
L
D
L
Good
so
option
one
is
what
was
displayed
on
the
slide
here
for
the
council
this
evening,
which
is
largely
contracting
with
existing
agencies,
489
thousand
for
homeless
services,
206
thousand
for
financial
assistance,
150,000
for
child
care
and
150,000
for
the
assistance
that
portion
100,000
is
for
specifically
those
domestic
violence
with
the
reserved
for
$100,000
to
go
to
specialized.
You
can
see
the
for
immigrant
linguistic
challenged
population
reaching.
E
A
Okay,
well,
let's
go
through
hold
on,
let's
go
through
those,
let's
just
give
everybody
a
chance
to
speak
again.
So
that's
we've
brought
this.
We
have
the
three
options
in
front
of
us
in
our
packet
and
Nathan,
just
read
the
first
option
and
so
we're
kind
of
discussing
whether
to
go
with
the
option,
one
or
not
and
deputy
mayor
noon
house.
Do
you
have
any
comments.
C
C
Yeah,
but
it's
it
sounds
like
we
could
hopefully
still
move
forward
and
then
have
a
maybe
a
second
conversation
about
the
one
or
more
additional
providers
that
might
be
might
be
added
here
or
it
sounds
like
it
might
just
be
one
provider
for
the
underserved
part
of
our
community
that
we
that
everyone
here
is
shown
some
interest
from
I.
You
know
again,
I
think
it's
going
to
be
about
in
a
echo
councilmember
robertson's
comments
about
the
Human
Services
Commission,
being
the
liaison
to
that
Commission,
and
they
do
an
outstanding
job
and
betting
B's.
C
These
providers
and
these
agencies
and
I
personally
feel
more
comfortable,
maintaining
that
that
relationship
with
those
providers
that
have
already
been
vetted
that
or
they're
already
doing
tremendous
work
in
the
in
the
community.
You
know
I
would
not
that
we
would
I
would
hate
to
rush
the
process
and
somehow
provide
this
front
end
these
finances,
or
you
know,
to
a
provider
that
hasn't
gone
through
that
through
that
process.
Yet
so
that
makes
me
a
little
bit
nervous.
J
A
E
Well,
I
already
said
was,
I
said:
yeah,
I
think
I'm
you
know
I
just
want
to
address.
Council
and
deputy
mayor
is
concerned
and
consumer
robinson
Spencer
I
agree
Human
Service
Commission.
Traditionally
they
are
the
one
we
go
to.
This
is
extraordinary
time.
If
we
leave
these
underrepresented
community
behind
or
else
moving
forward,
they're
always
gonna
be
left
behind,
they
will
never
catch
up
and
that
status
coal.
E
We
are
not
looking
at
stethoscope
we're
looking
at
emergency
culvert
19
extra
special
funding,
so
that's
when
we
are
doing
so
I'm,
not
bypassing
humans
to
risk
they've
gathered
my
deepest
respect
for
doing
things.
You
have
extraordinary
things,
but
this
is
not.
This
is
not
what
we're
talking
about
so
I
insist
on
having
a
special
consideration,
special
funding
allocation
to
agencies,
whether
they
being
approved
or
not
approved,
where
they
are
known,
where
they
are
not
known,
but
that
they
can
bring
the
attribute
which
we
I'm
interested
in
I.
E
F
F
We've
already
funded
that
there
are
at
least
three
that
offer
culturally
appropriate
and
outreach
energy
and
our
community-based
organizations
that
are
trusted
messengers
so,
and
we've
heard
directly
from
these
agencies
that
they
are
not
necessarily
getting
the
resources
and
funding
the
same
as
some
of
the
larger
agencies
and
so
I
like
the
option
where
we're
funding
both
both
link
and
the
smaller
underserved
community
trusted
messengers.
Thank
you
and.
