A
A
Thank
you.
So
before
we
approve
the
agenda,
there
are
a
couple
of
procedural
items
we
need
to
address
in
person.
Attendance
at
council
meetings
by
council
members
and
the
public
is
prohibited
by
the
governor
stay
at
home
orders
which
currently
expire
at
11:59
on
p.m.
on
May
4th.
Also
another
emergency
order
issued
by
the
governor
concerning
the
open
public
meetings
act
restricts
the
topics
that
may
be
discussed
during
the
council
meeting.
A
As
a
result,
there
are
several
provisions
and
the
council's
procedural
rules
resolution
8
9
to
8
that
the
council
should
temporarily
suspend

involving
the
council's
ability
to
participate

and
the
other
involving
the
process
for
accepting
communication
from
the
public
section
13
of
resolution.
89
28
allows
council
procedural
vote
to
be
temporarily
suspended
when
suspension
is
requested
and
no
object
to
whom
offered
then
I.
As
mayor
may
announce
the
rule
suspended
so
deputy
mayor.
Would
you
like
to
make
a
motion
I.
A
A
A
All
those
in
favor
say
aye.
Okay,
thank
you.
April
is
Sexual
Assault
Awareness,
we're
minute.
Awareness
Month
excuse
me
and,
as
some
of
you
may
know,
unconcernedly
amount
of
domestic
violence
cases
have
increased
significantly
during
this
crisis
and,
as
a
result,
our
women's
homeless
population
has
increased
significantly,
and
this
is
just
a
really
unfortunate
turn
of
events
that
our
human
service
agencies
are
working
very
hard
to
help
the
people
who
are
struggling
at
this
time.
So
in
honor
of
this
sexual
assault
awareness
month,
I
would
like
to
have
councilmember
Stokes
read
the
following
proclamation.
E
Of
sexual
violence
are
rooted
in
and
compounded
by,
racists,
gender,
sexual
orientation
and
other
forms
of
oppression,
and
whereas
King
County
is
home
to
many
organizations
that
provide
culturally
and
linguistically
specific
services
for
survivors
for
various
race,
ethnic
faiths,
ability
and
cultural
communities,
and
these
culturally
specific
services
are
crucial
to
effectively
respond
to
the
specific
needs
and
barriers.
Many
survivors
face
and.
E
The
impacts
of
sexual
violence
trauma
on
women,
man,
children
and
youth
include
fear,
concern
for
safety,
symptoms
of
post-traumatic
stress
disorder,
injury
and
missed
work
or
school,
and
individual
community
impacts
with
sexual
violence
are
rooted
in
and
compounded
by
race,
racial,
gender
or
sexual
orientation,
other
forms
of
oppression
and
whereas
King
County
is
home
to
many
organizations
that
provide
culturally
and
linguistically
specific
services
to
his
survivors
from
various
racial,
ethnic
faiths
ability
and
cultural
communities
and
these
cultures
culturally.
Specific
services
are
critical
to
effectively
respond
to
the
specific
needs
and
carry
barriers.
A
B
Yes,
Thank
You
mayor,
the
council
did
receive
an
email
for
written
communications,
and
this
email
is
from
Jennifer
Anderson
and
I
will
read
it
into
the
record
down
Leah
Robinson
and
council
members
on
behalf
of
the
nearly
2800
member
community
companies,
the
Master
Builders
Association
of
King
and
Snohomish
counties.
I
am
writing
to
express
support
for
ordinance
six
5:08
to
extend
the
life
of
common
applications
and
issued
permits
by
180
days.
B
This
measure
will
protect
permits
and
applications
from
expiring
during
the
kovat
nineteen
emergency,
allowing
for
projects
to
resume
when
appropriate
and
save
staff
time
from
extending
each
active
permit
on
a
case-by-case
basis,
the
housing
industry
can
spur
quick
economic
growth
and
reinvigorate
the
economy
after
the
restrictions
and
quarantines
are
lifted.
It's
important
local
municipalities
implement
policies
that
now
will
allow
projects
in
the
pipeline
to
resume
quickly
and
efficiently
to
bring
much-needed
housing
to
markets.
B
I,
look
forward
to
working
with
staff
and
the
council
on
additional
steps
that
can
be
taken
to
limit
disruptions
in
permitting
and
construction
and
enable
the
housing
market
to
get
back
on
track.
Thank
you
again
for
your
consideration
of
this
measure.
Please
consider
impacts
a
resource
for
housing
and
don't
hesitate
to
reach
out.
If
you
have
questions
and
again
that
was
from
Jennifer
Anderson
at
the
Master
Builders
Association.
B
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
We're
going
to
have
a
report
from
our
city
manager
and
I
just
want
to
tell
you
how
proud
I
am
of
our
city
staff
and
our
city
manager
for
the
amazing
work
that
they're
doing
working
with
our
small
businesses
and
our
large
businesses
with
this
economic,
develop
relief,
work,
you're
gonna
tell
us
all
about
it
right
so.
F
Good
evening,
mayor,
Robinson
and
councilmembers,
including
your
packages
of
management,
brief
outlining
a
summary
of
actions.
The
city
has
taken
to
support
Bell
V's
businesses
as
well
as
there
are
communities
during
this
emergency,
as
you
just
referenced
joining
us
this
evening
is
Matt.
Is
the
director
of
community
development
and
Jessica
Nadeau,
our
chief
economic
development
officer,
brian
council,
as
well
as
the
viewing
public
with
a
staff
report?
No
formal
action
is
being
requested.
G
Thank
you,
city
manager,
Miyake
and
mayor
Robinson
and
members
of
the
council.
It's
good
to
be
with
you
tonight.
It's
been
quite
a
a
couple
of
weeks
as
we
have
pivoted
quite
a
bit
of
our
work.
Efforts
within
the
department
from
will
call
them
normal
course
of
business
to
Co
vid
relief.
A
major
component
of
that
pivoting
has
been
in
our
economic
development
group
in
moving
away
business
services
to
relief
services
and
we're
gonna
walk
you
through
a
whole
bunch
of
those
things
this
evening.
Sharmini.
G
If
you
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
we'll
talk
about.
What's
going
to
be
on
our
agenda
this
evening,
as
we
made
that
transition
we've
been
looking
at
a
host
of
different,
topical
areas
about
how
to
go
about
this
and
it's
important
as
we
get
into
some
of
the
specifics
early
on.
We
identified
and
realized
that
the
difference
in
industry
clusters
and
business
itself
says
quite
a
bit
about
the
nature
of
the
relief
that
was
going
to
be
necessary
and
said.
G
There
is
to
try
to
reach
the
most
amount
of
people
and
to
be
the
most
efficient
possible,
with
any
scarce
resources
that
we
have
for
relief
and
aid.
And
so,
as
we
partner
with
those
other
cities
on
the
east
side
and
in
the
region,
we
also
look
at
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
locally,
the
BDA
one
Redmond
startup,
four
to
five
and
all
the
other
groups
and
we'll
talk
about
all
the
work
we're
doing
with
them
as
well.
G
So
I
don't
go
to
the
next
slide,
Charmaine
and
we'll
move
into
some
of
the
data
and
what
it's
showing
us
now.
There's
an
awful
lot
on
this
slide
and
I'll
be
happy
to
get
this
to
the
council.
I
want
to
hit
a
couple
of
high
points
and
why
it's
important
that
there
was
a
survey
conducted
a
couple
of
weeks
ago,
put
on
by
the
greater
Seattle
partners
and
the
Seattle
office
of
economic
development,
and
in
that
survey
nearly
a
thousand
east
side.
G
38%
of
the
respondents
were
concerned
about
whether
or
not
they'd
be
able
to
pay
rent
that
speaks
directly
to
issues
around
cash
flow
and
revenues,
and
what
this
would
look
like
coming
out.
They
were
worried
about
being
able
to
pay
bills
and
they
were
worried
about
any
temporary
closures
and
the
impact
on
the
business
and
in
a
second
here,
I'll
talk
about
the
most
impacted
businesses
in
Bellevue.
G
Another
sad
component.
For
now
we
hope
for
a
quick
recovery,
but
fifty
six
percent
of
the
respondents-
businesses
reduce
staff
capacity
in
some
way
and
36
percent
have
already
laid
off
employees.
Let's
go
ahead
and
go
to
the
next
slide.
Charmaine
and
we're
gonna
start
to
talk
about.
You
know
who
is
most
impacted
and
then
who
is
somewhat
insulated?
You
know,
as
we
move
in
into
our
relief,
the
most
impacted
sectors.
G
Not
surprisingly,
are
the
retail
tourism,
construction,
arts
industries,
these
the
industries,
primarily
driven
by
people
going
out
and
spending
money
in
one
form
or
another,
and
that
represents
roughly
20,000
bellevue
workers,
employment,
the
local
hotels,
nothing
short
of
devastating.
At
this
point,
a
typical
hotel
pro
formas
shows
that
75,
it's
probably
more
like
80%
occupancy
being
down
at
5
or
10%
or
less
effectively
means
that
they
are
closed
and
not
taking
in
any
revenue
at
all
and
restaurants.
G
Doing
10
to
15%
is
not
enough
to
be
able
to
to
cashflow
month-to-month
so
again,
not
surprising,
as
we
have
a
stay
at
home
order
that
these
are
the
most
impacted
and
we'll
talk
about
our
approaches
to
those
businesses
and
helping
them
a
minute.
One
other
just
comparative
anecdote,
that's
not
on
the
slide,
but
I'll
mention
a
typical
day
at
sea-tac
airport.
This
time
of
year
sees
52,000
passengers
and
last
week
on
the
14th,
they
saw
only
2,500
passengers,
which
is
roughly
only
four
to
five
percent
of
a
typical,
typical
daily
traffic.
G
Now
switching
gears,
the
larger
employers,
many
larger
employers
in
our
community,
just
within
the
city
of
Bellevue,
are
in
the
tech
industry,
though
I
wouldn't
say
they
are
insulated.
They
are
in
a
in
an
have
an
ability
to
have
a
lot
of
workers
work
from
home
and
they
are
therefore
being
able
to
position
themselves
and
it's
through
telecommuting.
G
In
a
way
that
the
businesses
on
this
slide
are
not
so
as
a
result,
many
of
those
major
companies
have
been
very
philanthropic
and
very
forthcoming
and
helping
other
businesses
in
the
community
that
have
been
less
fortunate
and
when
I
hand
it
off
to
Jesse.
Here
in
a
minute
he
will.
He
will
walk
through
some
of
those
programs
that
those
those
companies
have
been
able
to
put
in
place
slip
to
the
next
slide.
Tremayne.
G
So
we
have
four
hundred
bound
phone
calls
that
are
all
going
out
right
now,
using
not
only
our
economic
development
staff,
but
we've
actually
been
tapping
other
resources
and
other
departments
in
the
city
to
help
with
that,
as
we
realize
what
what
a
big
effort,
this
economic
relief
efforts
is
across
the
entire
city.
So
and
we'll
talk
more
about
the
specifics
of
that
here
in
a
minute.
The
last
thing
that
I
want
to
mention
just
about
the
overall
ecosystem,
there's
a
lot
of
pulling
together
that's
occurring
amongst
all
the
professionals,
economic
development
in
the
region.
G
We
are
having
weekly
briefings
and
meetings
with
regional
and
national
folks.
We
are
talking
with
the
BDA
and
the
Chamber
routinely
about
different
plans,
and
this
has
everything
to
how
we're
taking
in
planning
collective
action,
how
we're
sharing
resources.
We
are
looking
at
post,
Coppa,
19
recovery
efforts
and
what
it
looks
like
to
ask
the
community
to
come
back
out
and
start
to
shop
and
start
to
dine
and
start
to
plow
money
back
into
the
economy.
G
We're
also
spending
quite
a
time
thinking
about
the
East,
Side
and
Bellevue
specific
arts
organizations,
and
we
have
a
weekly
call
they're
focused
on
funding
mechanisms.
What
the
abuse
response
is
going
to
be
obviously
their
event,
cancellations
now
and
no
one
sure
when
and
if
how
those
events
are
going
to
come
back
online.
And
so
we
are
looking
at
a
transition
strategy
for
how
to
be
successful
in
helping
those
groups
stand
themselves
back
up.
So
quite
a
bit
of
things
have
gone
on
here.
I'm
gonna
hand
it
over
to
mr.
G
cuñado
to
walk
through
some
of
the
specifics
in
the
small
business
and
medium
business
support
and
talk
about
our
partnerships
and
collaboration
with
the
larger
businesses,
and
it
really
is
a
combination
of
all
of
those
things
and
with
our
partner
agencies
that
are
gonna.
Hopefully
allow
us
to
pull
out
of
this
as
quickly
as
possible,
so
I'm
gonna
hand
it
off
to
Jesse.
Now.
H
I
would
like
to
emphasize
upfront
that
this
has
been
an
all-hands
effort
on
the
east
side
and
just
within
the
city
of
Bellevue
organization.
We've
been
working
very
closely
with
our
internal
and
external
partners.
As
Mac
mentioned,
we
saw
early
on
that
multiple
groups
we're
working
on
very
similar
or
duplicative
efforts
and
Bellevue
is
a
regional
leader
in
many
areas,
including
economic
development.
Then
we
saw
a
need
for
Bellevue
to
help,
coordinate
and
build
collaboration
amongst
all
of
our
partners
to
help
make
best
use
of
everybody's
limited
resources.
H
So,
since
March
10th
we've
been
convening
a
weekly
call
with
our
East
Side
partners,
it
now
includes
staff
from
25
East,
Side
organizations,
including
cities,
chambers,
downtown
associations
and
tourism
organizations
to
work
collectively
on
deliverables.
Some
of
those
organizations
are
represented
on
the
screen,
not
all
of
them
just
for
clarity
purposes,
and
our
efforts
in
that
weekly
discussion
is
to
focus
on
joint
work
efforts.
H
Together,
we've
been
able
to
accomplish
what
feels
like
a
year's
worth
of
work
in
just
over
a
month,
because
we're
working
on
together
on
a
shared
issues,
bellevue
staff
is
also
able
to
dedicate
more
time
to
engagement
and
services
for
bellevue
specific
businesses.
Next
slide,
please,
in
terms
of
outreach
programs,
Mack
touch
on
a
couple
of
them.
Your
economic
development
staff
has
been
working
to
reach
businesses
of
all
sizes
types
and
in
all
neighborhoods
across
the
city.
H
We've
completed
check-ins
with
Symetra
Verizon,
Boeing,
Amazon,
Salesforce
and
smartsheet
so
far,
and
we're
working
to
round
out
the
list
with
the
other
in
the
top
20
I'd,
also
like
to
take
a
moment
to
highlight
one
of
our
largest
employers
with
over
3,000
employees
in
Bellevue.
Over
Lake
is
a
foundational
part
of
the
local
economy
and
a
foundational
part
of
the
local
response.
H
I'd
also
like
to
say
that
this
crisis
has
demonstrated
the
value
and
need
for
a
well-rounded
economy
and
business
support
infrastructure
that
we've
been
able
to
deploy.
Next
on,
our
outreach
to
small
businesses,
specifically
small
locally
owned
businesses,
have
been
our
primary
focus.
We've,
as
Mac
mentioned,
been
able
to
borrow
staff
from
our
neighborhoods
and
Parks
teams.
We've
completed
a
hundred
and
ninety
five
outbound
calls
as
of
Friday
38
%
of
those
reach
a
live
person.
H
As
expected,
many
calls
go
to
voicemail
as
many
of
the
businesses
are
closed,
but
we
have
left
messages
for
those
businesses
on
where
to
find
resources
in
case
they
are
checking
their
voicemails.
We're
also
trying
to
get
information
out
via
a
variety
of
channels,
including
a
weekly
newsletter
and
social
media,
in
addition
to
the
city's
extensive
comms
Network,
an
example
of
a
small
business
that
we
were
able
to
reach
and
support
is
square
Lotus
in
factorio.
It's
a
family-owned,
Vietnamese
restaurant
that
is
heavily
dependent
on
lunchtime
business
from
t-mobile
employees.
H
Understandably,
with
t-mobile
employees
working
from
home,
they
have
been
heavily
impacted.
Our
callers
were
able
to
share
information
on
the
business
resources
available
to
them
and
connect
them
with
additional
advisors
now
they're
in
touch
with
their
accountant
on
the
work
needed
to
access
relief
funds,
and
so
those
are
the
kinds
of
ways
that
we're
able
to
make
an
impact.
H
The
Bellevue
Chamber
is
also
working
with
local
banks
and
their
members
to
ensure
that
the
information
is
out
there
and
there
is
speedy
access
to
loan
applications
and
loan
advisers.
They
have
a
complimentary
outbound
call
program
that
is
helping
us
reach
more
businesses
really
quickly
on
the
creative
business
and
cultural
organization
side
they're
facing
a
host
of
different
issues,
because
their
revenue
is
based
on
group
gatherings,
sure
its
basis,
disposable
income.
H
H
This
is
a
program
that
I'm
very
excited
to
bring
in
front
of
the
council
tonight
we're
providing
some
new
technical
assistance
that
officially
launched
this
afternoon
through
our
various
partners
and
channels.
We
heard
of
the
need
for
more
as
in
navigating
the
maze
of
relief
support
that
is
out
there.
Information
application
criteria
and
availability
of
funds
changes
almost
daily
business
owners,
especially
those
without
access
to
strongest
banking
relationships,
have
been
having
extreme
difficulty
navigating
and
accessing
these
critical
lifelines.
H
So
in
partnership
with
our
startup
four
to
five
communities,
those
are
misuk
wha,
Renton,
Redmond
and
Kirkland.
We
have
contracted
with
business
impact
Northwest
a
local
nonprofit
and
community
development
finance
institution
to
provide
more
direct
advising
for
our
small
businesses,
thanks
to
the
support
of
their
president
and
CEO
Joe
sky
Tucker
and
their
chief
Program
Officer
Dominique
Julian.
These
resources
will
be
free
to
all
businesses
within
those
five
cities,
they'll
be
focused
on
equity
and
accessibility.
H
They
will
provide
one-on-one
consultations
for
businesses
and
they
will
be
available
in
many
languages
to
make
sure
that
there's
equitable
access
for
folks
who
may
not
have
languages
they're
English
as
their
primary
or
dominant
language.
The
advisors
can
help
them
understand
the
relief
programs
available,
help
them
become
loan
ready,
if
they're
not
and
actually
help
them
complete
the
loan
applications.
If
that
is
a
service
that
is
needed,
so
we
are
very
happy
that
this
service
is
now
available
to
businesses
in
those
five
communities.
H
There
was
a
large
messaging
push
this
afternoon,
but
if
there
are
any
community
leaders
or
business
owners
that
would
benefit
from
this
information,
we're
happy
to
reach
out
to
them
directly
as
well.
Next
slide.
Please,
we've
also
been
doing
a
lot
of
work
on
an
East
Side
wide
by
now
effort
to
help
support,
particularly
those
restaurants,
that
are
still
open
about
three
weeks
ago
now,
Co
be
staff
created
an
Eastside
restaurant
map
that
promotes
those
that
are
still
doing
delivery
and
pickup
service.
H
It
includes
over
300
restaurants
and
has
been
viewed
about
9,000
times
since
it
launched,
and
so
this
is
an
East
Side
wide
map.
With
support
from
our
neighboring
cities
and
it's
accessible
via
the
startup
42.5
website
at
the
URL
at
the
bottom
of
the
screen,
this
service
is
also
looking
to
transition
to
a
more
functional
GIS
version
and
the
cities
are
collaborating
on
how
to
make
that
happen
as
well.
Next
slide.
H
Please
I'd
also
like
to
highlight
really
quickly
this
best
of
Bellevue
page
that
we
built
that
collects
and
shares
the
most
inspirational
stories
of
businesses
stepping
up
to
support
our
community
and
support
each
other.
In
this
very
challenging
time.
It
highlights
grants
that
are
available
from
our
larger
employers.
It
highlights
businesses
that
are
supporting
our
local
nonprofits
and
highlight
some
of
the
innovative
ways
that
Bellevue
is
responding
to
the
outbreak,
for
example
the
the
Amazon
grants
for
small
business.
H
Those
are
highlighted
on
the
page,
and
we
know
that
at
least
a
couple
of
businesses
in
downtown
Bellevue
did
receive
a
grant.
So
through
this
page
we're
trying
to
highlight
the
silver
linings
in
the
current
situation
and
make
sure
that
folks
understand
how
they
can
personally
support
or
access
the
different
resources
in
the
community.
H
So
I
think
that
highlights
most
of
what
we
wanted
to
go
through
to
bring
this
in
for
a
landing
next
slide.
Please
we'd
like
to
highlight
and
share
with
the
council
some
of
the
challenges
and
successes
that
we've
had
in
the
first
month
of
kovat
response
work.
So
one
of
the
key
things
is
that
the
uncertainties
are
big.
It's
a
challenge
to
keep
up
with
the
pace
of
what
is
information
that
changes
on
a
daily,
sometimes
hourly
basis.
H
Bellevue
is
a
smaller
community
and
we
don't
have
the
scale
or
reach
of
some
of
the
larger
agencies
across
the
country,
but
working
with
our
external
partners
and
working
across
city
boundaries
has
helped
us
regain
some
of
that
scale
and
has
been
very
fundamental
to
the
success
of
business
support
on
the
east
side,
as
I
mentioned
the
beginning.
This
has
also
been
very
much
a
one
city
effort
and
I'd
like
to
thank
our
coworkers
and
parks,
neighborhoods
the
transportation
and
finance
for
their
support
in
the
business.
H
If
work
next,
there
is
an
expansive
volume
of
need.
As
the
council
knows,
this
is
an
exceptional
time
and
we
have
seen
that
loan
and
grant
programs
regionally
into
the
state
level
have
been
overwhelmed
in
the
last
month
now.
Luckily,
more
relief
dollars
are
likely
on
the
way,
as
Congress
continues
to
debate
the
next
package,
but
it
is
very
unlikely
that
we
will
be
able
to
service
the
the
exact
dollar
need
of
every
business
in
this
community.
H
We
will
do
our
best
to
make
sure
that
all
businesses
in
this
in
this
city
are
connected
to
the
resources
available
to
them.
We
do
have
some
difficulty
in
tracking
who
has
accessed
the
aid
that's
been
made
available
already.
We
do
know
that
the
SBA
has
provided
about
30,000
businesses
in
Washington,
with
relief
loans,
totaling
about
seven
billion
dollars
and
we're
gonna
work
with
the
SBA,
the
chamber
and
our
partners
to
see
if
we
can
get
more
Bellevue
specific
numbers,
but
that's
as
granular
as
I
can
get
for
you
today.
H
The
next
big
challenge
so
far
has
been
that
each
community
has
a
very
distinct
needs
within
Bellevue,
we're
doing
our
best
to
support
language
and
cultural
needs
of
our
diverse
communities.
That's
one
of
the
reasons
we
chose
business
impact
Northwest
for
the
technical
assistance
because
they
have
proven
experience
in
a
focus
on
serving
women
and
minority-owned
businesses,
in
particular
among
some
small
business
owners.
There
is
a
reluctance
to
take
on
some
of
the
SBA
relief
because
it
is
debt
technically
and
even
if
it
could
be
forgivable,
be
forgivable.
H
They
are
hesitant
because
of
the
uncertainty
that
they
can
meet
the
forgiveness
terms
in
the
long
run.
So
that's
a
challenge
we'll
continue
to
work
on.
We
are
working
with
groups
like
East
Side
for
all
began
the
city's
diversity
staff
and
other
groups
to
help
us
understand
the
additional
needs
that
are
out
there
in
the
community,
whether
they
be
cultural,
linguistic
or
other
access
issues
to
help
fill
those
gaps.
An
additional
community
that
has
distinct
needs
we
mentioned
at
the
front
end
is
the
arts
community.
H
They
have
seen
also
out
sides
of
revenue
impacts
and
they
face
a
more
uncertain
recovery
period
because
of
their
business
and
their
their
offerings
really
are
based
on
large
people
gatherings
a
large
public
performances
which
people
may
be
hesitant
to
to
attend.
After
the
the
current
quarantine
is
over
or
they
may
be
under.
They
may
be
prohibited
for
longer
periods
depending
on
how
the
economy
is
reopened
in
stages.
G
Thanks
Jesse
we're
gonna
wrap
up
pretty
quick
here.
You
know,
as
we
think
about
the
next
step
in
pivoting,
for
our
economic
development
efforts
for
the
city.
We're
gonna
be
moving
into
the
time
period,
where
we're
coming
out
of
the
kovat
relief
process
here
and
then
into
the
recovery
process.
When
the
economy
starts
to
kickstart
Binaca,
we
know
that
businesses
are
gonna,
have
long
term
issues
and
trying
to
to
get
themselves
back
whole.
We
know
that
there's
likely
to
be
high
levels
of
unemployment
nationally
and
that's
going
to
affect
our
local
labor
workforce.
G
A
Thank
you
very
much
for
that
presentation,
I'm
going
to
interject
something
here
and
then
we'll
we'll
do
questions
and
comments.
I
just
want
to.
Thank
you
very
much
for
all
that
you're
doing
and
for
your
presentation.
I
also
want
to
thank
the
community
for
honoring.
The
governor's
ordered
a
shelter-in-place
we're
doing
that
quite
successfully,
but
we
need
to
continue
to
do
it.
A
So
in
fact,
this
Monday
I
and
the
other
mayors
in
the
region
have
a
common
conversation
with
Governor
Inslee
about
the
continued
challenges
and
the
plans
for
recovery.
So
we
will.
We
will
get
there
when
we'll
get
there
together,
so
I'm
going
to
call
on
each
council
member
in
this
order,
council
member
Robert,
soon
followed
by
Barksdale
new
in
house
Jean,
Lee
and
Stokes.
So,
let's
start
with
councilmember
Robertson
Thank.
I
You
mayor,
so
I
really
appreciate
all
the
work
that
the
city
staff
and
our
leadership
has
been
doing
to
make
sure
that
our
businesses
can
weather
the
storm
as
well
as
possible.
I
know
that
the
SBA
loans
have
reached
their
limit,
there's
no
more
money
left
and
we're
we're
hoping
for
another
round
of
funding.
I
What
can
we
do
as
a
city
to
help
our
businesses
make
sure
that
they
come
to
them,
get
in
the
next
round
of
funding,
and
also
what
can
we
do
to
help
once
we
are
reopened
to
help
make
sure
that
those
businesses
come
back,
because
the
last
thing
we
need
is
to
have
empty
storefronts
and
all
of
our
favorite
small
businesses
not
be
there
once
were
out
of
the
state.
Homestyle
stay
healthy
period.
G
G
If
you
can
comment
on
that,
and
then
I'll
just
mention
very
quickly
that
yeah,
we
absolutely
agree
and
any
given
on
a
council
agree
that
getting
people
back
into
the
shops
and
businesses
is,
is
a
significant
thing
that
we
all
want
to
work
on
together.
So
we're
putting
together
those
marketing
campaigns
and
working
with
groups
like
the
Chamber
and
the
BDA
and
the
businesses
themselves
to
try
to
get
that
word
out
to
everybody.
H
Yes,
thank
you
max
so
on
the
written
regards
to
what
the
city
can
do
to
help
make
sure
that
businesses
get
access
to
relief
funds
and
in
the
coming
rounds.
That
is
one
of
the
reasons
that
we
hired
business
impact
Northwest
to
be
able
to
provide
that
direct,
one-on-one
technical
assistance
to
those
small
businesses.
We
found
in
the
the
prior
round
that
businesses
were
either
not
alone
ready
for
a
variety
of
reasons.
They
didn't
know
how
to
navigate
the
specific
forms
or
that
they
didn't
have
a
robust
enough
relationship
with
their
business
banker.
H
So
those
are
things
that
business
impact
Northwest
is
going
to
help
us
remedy
and
get
our
businesses
lined
up,
so
they
can.
They
can
put
their
application
in
to
the
queue
earlier
in
the
process
for
this
next
round
in
particular,
they'll
also
be
able
to
help
with
the
businesses
I
think
through
some
of
the
steps
they
need
to
take
in
preparation
for
their
reopening,
whether
it
is
changes
in
business
plan
or
business
model,
additional
capital
that
might
be
needed
for
essentially
restart
costs
or
other
things.
H
They
will
be
able
to
help
them,
navigate
those
processes
and
get
them
ready,
and,
as
Mac
mentioned
once,
we
do
reopen
when
the
time
is
appropriate.
The
chamber
is
helping
lead
efforts
to
do
what
we're
calling
a
welcome
back
campaign
that
will
announce
that
Bellevue
is
back
open
for
business
and
help
highlight
some
of
the
businesses
that
need
a
little
spotlight
to
help
get
them
going.
That's.
I
I
This
seems
like
a
much
larger
group
and
I
hope
that,
as
we
do
start
marketing
of
the
Bellevue's
reopen
for
business,
that
we
continue
to
partner
with
these
other
organizations,
because
it
would
be
great
if
we
could
help
each
other
get
the
whole
region
back
up
and
running
ASAP
as
soon
as
the
governor
says
that
we
can.
So.
Thank
you
for
that.
I
appreciate
it.
Thank.
G
So
councilmember
Barksdale,
it
was
a
little
difficult
to
hear
you
there.
There
was
quite
a
bit
of
reverb
but
I
think
I
caught
all
of
it
and
appreciate
the
suggestion.
Yes,
we'll
be
working
on
a
blitz
to
get
information
to
all
the
companies
that
are
teleworking
and
we've
done
some
of
that,
but
we'll
be
following.
G
You
know
as
it
relates
to
knowing
exactly
who's
open
and
who
has
closed.
We
don't
have
great
data
on
that
right
now,
but
we
are
working
with
as
many
both
within
our
own
city
and
know,
who's
got
business
licenses
and
who
does
not,
and
then
with
groups
like
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
but
I'll
turn
over
to
Jesse.
If
we
have
any
any
more
updated
information
on
that.
H
Thank
You
Mack,
and
no,
we
don't
have
much
more
information
than
that
at
the
moment.
It's
still
early
days
and
we've
only
been
through
this
for
about
a
month.
We
do
expect
to
hear
more
information
from
businesses
as
we
approach
the
the
May
time
frame
for
those
that
are
struggling
to
pay,
rent
and
other
items,
so
we
may
be
able
to
start
collecting
more
concrete
data
on
business
closures
in
the
coming
weeks.
Okay,.
D
You
mayor
great
presentation,
Jesse
and
Mac,
and
a
lot
of
great
information,
and
thank
you
for
moving
so
quickly
on
so
many
different
initiatives
here
and
I
think
the
communication
has
really
been
great
as
well
via
the
emails
or
be
at
the
the
different
channels
that
the
comms
team
has
available
to
it.
So
we're
getting
the
word
out
and
and
letting
as
many
people
as
possible
know
where
these
resources
are
a
couple
of
quick
questions.
D
But
before
that,
just
just
a
big
shout
out
to
some
of
the
you
know,
bigger
employers
in
in
in
Bellevue
and
Jesse
I.
D
H
The
top
of
my
head:
no,
so
what
what
we
were
able
to
get
from
community
attributes,
which
is
the
consulting
group
that
did
the
survey-
was
just
the
aggregate
Eastside
data
for
the
five
cities
they
weren't
comfortable
at
the
time
releasing
the
individual
City
data,
but
that
is
an
ask
we
can
go
back
to
them.
Was
okay.
D
I'd,
like
yeah
I'd
like
to
know
a
percentage
or
how
many
Bellevue
businesses
participated,
as
could
it
affect
or
skew
my
thoughts
on
the
on
the
survey
they're
a
little
bit
so
yeah
that'd
be
great
if
you
can
track
that
down
the
second
question
regarding
the
the
business
impact
Northwest.
So
did
we
provide
additional
funds
to
startup
four
to
five
in
order
to
engage
them,
or
did
you
working
with
startup
45
to
shift
funds
from
from
their
workshops
in
order
to
in
order
to
get
them
engaged?
Is
that
how
we're
paying
for
that?
So.
H
D
So
that's
good
next
question
is
what
is
their
their
their
bandwidth
I'm
sure
they
have
their
we'll
be
having
a
lot
of
enquiries.
So
how
many?
How
many
bellevue
or
eastside
businesses
are
they
able
to
help
and
then,
if
they
get
flooded
with
requests,
which
I'm
sure
they
will
do,
they
have
a
criteria
for
for
which
companies
they
they
are
able
to
help
in
which
they
are
not,
and
is
it
going
to
be
limited
per
city
as
well,
or
is
it
just
open-ended
in
the
eastside
city.
H
So
I'll
answer
the
last
question
first,
so
at
the
moment
it
is
a
general
first-come,
first-serve
basis
in
terms
of
when
the
businesses
get
a
get
serviced.
We're
gonna
monitor
that
to
see
where
or
the
majority
of
businesses
are
coming
from
and/or
the
type
so
that
we
can
shift
focus
and
attention
or
outreach
as
necessary.
If
we
do
find
that
the
level
of
service
is
insufficient
for
the
need,
that
will
be
a
discussion
of
whether
or
not
we'd
like
to
procure
more
more
time
from
business
impact.
Northwest.
K
I
also
want
to
thank
staff
for
all
your
hard
work.
It
does
take
that
personal
touch
of
those
personal
outreach
and
check-in
calls
to
make
sure
that
our
businesses
know
that
we're
here
for
them
and
we
care,
and
especially
in
conjunction
with
the
community
organizations,
the
community-based
outreach
organizations
to
try
to
reach
as
many
of
the
folks
as
possible.
I
understand.
Some
of
the
businesses
may
not
have
internet
website
cell
phones,
so
you
know
their
calls
are
just
there.
K
Their
landline
is
just
ringing
in
their
business,
so
whatever
we
can
do
to
reach
out
to
them
will
be
really
important.
I
also
think
that
it's
been
amazing
in
terms
of
people
helping
people
so
large
businesses
all
of
the
volunteers.
What
I
see
are
folks
that
are
purchasing
food
from
our
restaurants,
to
then
bring
meals
to
those
serving
our
community
like
over
Lake
and
many
others.
So
I
think
those
are
really
good.
K
I
applaud
the
staff
for
looking
at
a
regional
approach
so
that,
if
we're
doing
translation
of
materials
doing
outreach
that
we
can
share
materials
and
really
leverage
our
resources
to
reach
as
many
businesses
as
we
can
so
I
think
those
things
are
really
important.
A
couple
of
questions
or
comments,
so
the
cares
fund
didn't
actually
provide
any
direct
relief
to
small
cities
below
500,000.
So
it
seems
like
we're
relying
on
the
state
in
terms
of
some
of
the
funds
that
they
have
the
federal
as
well
as
King
County.
H
That's
a
very
good
question:
councilmember
in
terms
of
providing
grants
versus
loans
or
access
to
other
resources
because
of
the
gift
of
public
funds
provision
in
the
Washington
State
Constitution.
It's
a
it's
much
more
difficult
for
us
to
be
able
to
provide
direct
grants,
cash
grants
to
our
small
businesses.
So,
in
the
initial
stages
of
the
code
relief,
it's
really
been
focused
on
getting
our
businesses
access
to
federal
funds,
state
funds
and
funds
from
private
companies
that
are
making
donations.
H
K
Okay,
okay,
I,
see
I,
think
that's
gonna,
be
one
of
the
important
parts.
Is
that
how
we
actually
do
advocate
then
for
that
those
kinds
of
funds
I
know
through
my
National
League
of
Cities
committee,
work
that
we
are
working
really
hard
on
federal
advocacy
to
get
more
funds
to
our
local
cities
and
small
business.
So,
hopefully
we'll.
Actually
our
voices
are
being
heard
at
the
federal
level
and
we're
able
to
get
some
more
funding.
K
I
wanted
to
pivot
to
when
planning
for
the
restart,
because
when
the
governor
lifts
the
order,
we
will
still
be
in
this
social
distancing,
world
and
I'm
thinking
about
the
fact
that,
having
been
at
the
port
in
essential
work
now
for
five
weeks,
you
know,
there's
been
a
lot
of
work
done
around
how
we
work
safely
and
satisfying
L&I
and
dash'd
requirements.
So
are
we
talking
with
our
small
businesses
on
those
things
they're
going
to
need
to
do
to
get
ready?
K
Yeah
that'll
be
really
important,
know
that
just
put
out
some
new
directive
on
directed
1.7
on
April
7
and
then
for
construction.
There
are
some
other
documents
that
are
in
the
works
and
being
prepared
that
will
impact
the
ability
of
the
businesses
in
Bellevue
to
reopen
while
being
safe
and
whatever
resources
are
already
available
in
the
community
in
terms
of
training
to
be
able
to
just
get
ready.
C
C
Boeing
and
Boeing
laid
off
for
lots
of
folks,
and
you
know
they
cut
their
workforce
from
close
to
a
hundred
thousand
to
thirty
thousand,
and
we
remember
the
science
is,
the
last
person
leaves
the
alt
and
after
light-
and
you
know,
I
was
one
of
them
and
well
I
didn't
leave
I
stuck
here
and
most
people,
you
know
who
would
stay
because
that's
what
this
area
this
region
is
particularly
studied.
Bellevue
we
stay,
we
are
the
small
individuals.
C
We
are
small
businesses,
we
make
things
work
for
us,
we
adapt
you,
we
innovate
and
we
succeeded
to
do
something
spectacular.
You
know
we
became
entrepreneurs
startups
and
that's
how
or
the
you
know
into
technology
companies
you
know
began
and
that's
how
we
become
Microsoft,
and
now
we
have
Amazon.
You
know
t-mobile
remained
so
I
think
this
is
a
something
that's
big
something
we've
never
seen
before,
and
it
happened
so
fast.
It's
not
experienced
before,
but
we've
come
back.
C
You
know
2008
this
another
recession
that
we
face
and
we
roast
back
on
it
so,
but
it
really
have
to
remember,
though
you
know
it's
something
that
we
have
to
take
care
of
ourselves.
You
know
we
have
to
take
care
of
the
community.
It's
the
community
effort.
We're
talking
about
biggest
hit
relief.
You
know,
is
the
small
businesses,
the
service
industry,
the
employees
that
are
losing
jobs
is
nobody's
listening.
Restaurants
nobody's
out
there
doing
things,
spying,
merchandise,
whether
it
be
Bellevue
square
or
a
food
truck
or
small
restaurant
that
has
ten
employees.
C
Or
if
it
takes
too
long,
you
know
Mack
mentioned
this
weekend:
recoveries
in
the
last
16
18
months.
You
know
that's
a
long
time,
so
I
believe
that
you
know
when
everybody
is
doing
what
this
I
was
to
appreciate.
What
the
mayor
and
the
deputy
mayor
and
city
staff.
Obviously
I
appreciate
what
you
have
done
with
this
business
impact
Northwest.
You
know
it's
a
good
model,
so
hope
they
we
can
do
something
with
it
and
maybe
you
know
see
some
good
results.
C
So
I
personally,
you
know,
have
been
working
with
community
and
the
community
has
to
be
stepping
up.
We've
seen
that
we
see
how
they
are
donating
food,
donating
money,
they're
donating
masks,
PPE
and
there's
Chinese
community
in
particular
in
because
I
happen
to
be
a
veil
in
a
connected.
They
know
me
so
they've
been
working
with
me,
I've
been
helping
them
and
this
is
a
good
story.
So
that's
a
group
called
the
Chinese
Chamber
of
Commerce
in
Washington
State,
it's
a
local
they're
working
with
the
local
restaurants
and
restaurants,
tear
out
the
business
nobody's
listening.
C
So
you
see
what
what
did
he
do
with
employees
intense
this?
Is
they
can
lay
them
off?
You
know
closed
door,
but
that's
not
what
they
do,
not
what
they
say.
Well,
let's
keep
the
employees
working,
that's
making
food
and
let's
box
them
up
in
lunches
and
dinners,
and
they
donated
to
the
magical
house.
Workers
don't
need
to
over
Lake
Hospital
donate
the
University
Washington.
No,
they
donated
masks
to
the
City
of
Bellevue.
You
know
to
the
first
responders,
so
there
they
did.
It
can't
be
starting
in
first
I.
E
The
new
normal
is
something
we
don't
know
about
yet,
but
we're
laying
the
groundwork
very
excited
about
that
part
of
it.
What
I'm
worried
about
is
you
know
and
there's
some
things
that
we
haven't
talked
about,
and
this
is
it's
great:
what
we're
doing
businesses
and
big
business,
small
business
communities
and
all
we
haven't-
talked
about
schools
and
I'm
concerned
about
how
they,
how
they
survive
this
and
how
families
and
kids
and
I'll
get
through
this,
and
we
and
I
want
to.
You
know
work
on
this
part
of
it.
E
We
that's
that's
a
big
big
issue
and
that's
something
that
affects
our
future
greatly
and
I,
like
the
city
and
the
region
to
be
more
or
involved
with
that.
The
other
thing
that
I'm
concerned
about
is-
and
we
really
have
a
touched
on
it-
councilmember
Lee
was
talking
to
a
little
bit
about
it
and
entered
it.
But
yes,
we
have
the
big
businesses
and
we've
got
to
get
that
going,
get
them
going.
E
We've
got
to
get
the
employment
back,
we've
got
to
get
the
economy
back
and
they're
going
from
the
excitement
of
where
we're
going
to
go
with
all
of
this
change
and
everything
to
you
know
the
sky's
falling
is
is
sobering,
but,
yes,
we
have
to
get
the
businesses
going.
We
have
to
get
small
businesses
going.
What
concerns
me
and
bothers
me
is
that
we
talk
about.
Yes,
it's
good
to
get
people
back
to
their
jobs
and
all,
but
there
are
increasing
numbers
of
people
who
are
being
traumatized
by
this.
E
Proclamation
tonight
address
some
of
those
issues
and
I
think
it's
something
I
hope
we
don't
put
on
the
back
burner.
We've
got
to
help
people
get
back,
get
our
neighborhoods
get
our
neighbors
and
people
in
the
community
back
into
life
and
back
in
to
be
working
and
the
people
who
were
having
struggles
and
and
really
on
the
you
know
going
down
in
the
community
before
this
or
even
more
impacted
and
I
think
we
have
to
have
a
breadth
of
concern
and
impact
and
ability
to
do
things.
E
But
we
just
have
to
not
let
that
get
put
aside,
because
when
this
is
over
and
businesses
back
in
we're
gonna
have
even
a
bigger
bigger
problem
than
we
have
now
in
terms
of
people
who
are
in
need
or
marginalized
and
who
are
not
able
to,
even
though
they're
in
the
country
benefit
from
what
we
have
in
this
country.
The
third
thing
is
I,
am
concerned
about
and
want
us
to
be.
E
You
know
some
months
down
the
line
next
year
and
hopes
what
happened
to
that
group.
You
know
where
what's
what's
happening
to
Bellevue.
So
again,
we
have
to
keep
that
in
focus,
and
the
last
thing,
I
want
to
say
was
I
just
really
citing
about
this
working
together
with
these
other
cities.
You
know,
I've
talked
about
this
a
long
time
and
I
think
the
innovation
triangle
has
been
fantastic.
It's
small
in
a
sense
and
focus
having
what
I
kind
of
called
the
innovation
Crescent
is.
E
What
we're
kind
of
laying
out
here
is
putting
getting
in
together.
That's
a
great
piece
that
will
help
now
and
something
and
I
think
is,
is
already
being
successful,
will
be
really
important
to
us
in
the
future,
and
the
region
is
what's
important:
Bellevue
we
want
to
make
sure
Bellevue
keeps
being
what
it
is,
but
the
region
makes
Belle
D
and
we
make
the
region.
E
So
it's
a
very
symbiotic
relationship
and
having
the
connections
with
the
cities
from,
and
you
know
even
up
to
Bothell,
perhaps
but
all
the
way
around,
all
of
us
working
together
and
getting
written
involved.
It's
really
great,
and
this
equai
I
think
that's
going
to
be
again
something
that
we
did
in
this
time
period
that
we're
gonna
look
back
and
say:
not
only
did
we
really
help
things
go,
but
we
again
created
something
innovative
going
forward.
I
mean
I
always
like
to
look
at
what
are
the
positives?
E
I
think
your
your
really
been
focused
on
this
and
it's
good,
but
let's
just
remember
that
we're
we're
trying
to
bring
this
back,
but
we
have
the
opportunity
in
this
to
really
have
continued
to
have
that
impact
on
a
great
city
that
we
were
talking
about
before
this
thing
hit.
So
again,
you
know
keep
working
on
it,
but
let's,
let's
remember
to
focus
on
everything.
That's
going
to
make
us
come
out
of
this
and
look
back
and
say:
wow.
We
not
only
survived,
but
we
actually
came
out
of
this.
A
You
Thank
You
councilmember
Stokes
and
although
this
was
an
economic,
regional,
economic
presentation,
you
tied
in
really
well
how
important
the
arts,
the
schools
and
the
parks
are
to
our
local
economy.
I
think
that
councilmember
Stokes
brought
up
a
really
good
point
about
the
schools.
I
know
the
schools
are
just
the
Bellevue
School
District,
the
Lake
Washington
School
District
are
doing
a
remarkably
good
job,
but
I
wonder
city
manager.
If
we
might
be
able
to
have
a
presentation
on
that
at
an
upcoming
meeting.
A
F
D
You
I
just
it'd,
be
great
if
we
could
get
counselor
Murphy
back
on,
but
his
story
about
the
the
the
Chinese
Chamber
of
Commerce
is
just
wondering
if
Jesse
might
be
able
to
highlight
that
story
on
the
best
of
Bellevue.
Oh
yeah,.
A
D
H
D
A
A
F
Thank
You
mayor
on
sending
council
members
ordinance
six
508
extends
the
life
of
certain
complete
and
issued
building
permit
and
applications,
as
well
as
complete
and
issued
clearing
grade
permit
applications
in
response
to
the
Cova
19
emergency
joining
us
this
evening
is
Mike
Brennan,
the
director
of
development
services,
to
provide
a
brief
staff
report
and
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
might
have
with
regard
to
this
ordinance
after
Mike's
report,
we
are
seeking
council
action
on
ordered
six
five,
zero,
eight.
So
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
Mike
Mike
good.
L
Evening,
thank
you,
mr
Hockey
mayor
Robinson,
deputy
mayor
Newman
house
and
City
Council
members.
The
you
can
push
to
the
next
slide
remain
before
the
council,
as
mr.
miacca
mentioned,
is
an
ordinance
that
would
extend
the
life
of
permit
applications
and
issue
permits
by
180
days.
Staff
is
recommending
adoption
of
this
ordinance
and
I'll.
Give
you
a
little
bit
of
background
next
slide.
Please
the
governor's
stay
home
and
stay
healthy
order
was
issued
on
March
23rd
and
that
suspended
construction
for
most
residential
and
commercial
projects.
L
They
were
not
considered
to
be
an
essential
activity,
so
the
rapid
growth
we're
experiencing
W
includes
a
large
number
of
projects,
both
large
and
small,
and
the
construction
has
essentially
been
suspended
there.
However,
the
clock
on
the
permits
does
the
city
issued
for
those
projects
continues
to
advance,
even
though
they're
suspended.
L
So
we
have
a
large
number
of
permit
applications
also
moving
through
this
system,
and
while
the
city
can
process
the
applications
electronically,
some
applicants
are
running
into
challenges
on
their
end,
completing
the
needed
documents
or
reports
necessary
to
reach
from
some
of
them
require
field
visits
or
feel
geologic
testing.
Obviously,
just
like
all
businesses
out
there
running
into
challenges
with
a
remote
workforce
being
efficient
and
completing
the
work.
So
again,
our
applicants
are
bumping
into
some
challenges.
But
again,
as
I
mentioned,
the
city
is
continuing
to
process.
All
the
applications
in
the
system.
L
Remotely
and
electronically
of
the
same
code
sets
a
maximum
limit
for
the
life
of
permit
applications
and
permits
that
are
issued
for
applications.
That's
a
year
and
a
half
and
for
an
issued
permits
for
three
years
from
the
point
of
issuance
to
the
point
where
they
need
to
have
the
project
completed.
L
The
ordinance
before
the
council
tonight
would
add
an
additional
180
days
to
the
life
of
building
and
clearing
grading,
permit
applications
and
then
an
additional
hundred
80
days
for
issued
building
permits
and
clearing
grade
permits,
so
that
additional
time
would
give
relief
to
the
developers.
Contractors.
Homeowners
are
giving
them
additional
time
to
kind
of
regroup
as
we
come
through
the
Cova
19
emergency
and
move
their
way
through
the
rest
of
the
way
through
the
either
the
permitting
process
or
restarting
the
construction
and
finishing
construction
prior
to
when
the
permits
would
expire
or
the
applications.
L
Would
expire
in
the
system
avoiding
that
the
time
and
cost
to
go
back
in
and
reapply
to
get
the
work
done,
so
a
significant
benefit
or
lift
for
applicants
in
our
permit
holders.
This
is
something
that
the
connection
the
council
took.
Some
may
recall
back
in
the
recession
where
council
acted
to
extend,
permit
applications
and
issued
permits
in
a
similar
way
back
then.
L
So
there
is
a
group
of
very
small
group
of
permits
that
I
do
want
to
note
here
that
wouldn't
receive
the
extension
and
those
are
the
applications
that
were
involved
with
this
civil
violation
process
and
that's
where
work
on
or
construction
work
occurred
without
the
required
permits
being
obtained.
First
and
in
those
cases
we
weren't
able
to
gain
voluntary
compliance,
so
they
moved
into
a
civil
violation
process,
and
in
that
process
we
set
very
specific
timelines
for
making
an
application
for
the
permit
obtaining
the
permit
and
then
finalizing
the
necessary
inspections.
L
So
the
timeline
in
the
civil
violation
process.
We
certainly
will
adjust
that,
as
impacted
by
the
coab
in
19
emergency
to
ensure
that
were
providing
additional
relief.
So
they
can
get
the
work
done
as
well,
but
again
the
timelines
set
for
those
permits
in
the
civil
violation
process
are
well
within
the
three
years
or
the
one
and
a
half
years
that
are
currently
in
the
code.
So
I
just
wanted
to
call
that
out
as
a
very
small
subset
of
permits
that
would
not
be
getting.
L
The
extension
I
also
want
to
mention
a
couple
of
other
things
that
are
related
here
to
working
to
assist
our
developers,
homeowners
and
contractors.
Our
land
use
permits
are
not
included
in,
what's
above
the
what
we
call
process
or
the
entitlements
which
are
land
use
decisions
and
those
have
a
public
process
element
associated
with
them
and
in
this
environment,
where
we've
got
challenges
with
the
open
public
meetings
requirements,
we
are
working
our
way
through
trying
to
find
solutions.
So
we
can
make
sure
that
all
of
our
applications
and
decisions
can
be
finalized
through
the
process.
L
We
are
again
working
in
the
background
moving
all
of
those
as
far
as
we
can,
but
again
when
there's
a
public
engagement
piece
or
the
potential
for
a
appeal
to
the
Hearing
Examiner.
That's
a
barrier
that
we're
working
to
resolve
I
also
want
to
note
that
we
are
staying
close
in
close
contact
and
working
in
partnership
with
the
builders
and
the
developers
trying
to
look
ahead
at
when
construction
will
be
allowed
to
resume
working
together.
L
Talking
about
the
standards
and
operating
procedures
that
we'll
put
in
place
to
ensure
the
safety
of
workers
and
our
inspection
teams
that
are
out
there,
I'm
confident
that
we
will
find
a
good
solution,
there's
an
awful
lot
of
work
going
on
in
the
background.
So
we
may
have
heard
about
already
from
other
sources,
and
the
goal
is
so
that
we
can
move
once
the
order
is
lifted.
L
We
can
quickly
transition
back
to
work,
and
yet
our
construction
projects
back
under
way
out
there
and
also
just
another
quick
note-
is
some
council
members
may
know
every
three
years
the
State
updates
building
and
fire
codes.
This
year
it
was
scheduled
to
occur
on
July
1st.
We
work
through
a
number
of
sources
in
contacted,
try
to
influence,
essentially
the
governor's
office
asking
for
an
extension
of
that
deadline
or
that
implementation
date
from
July
1st
to
November
1st
and
the
governor
I
did
issue
a
proclamation
making
that
move
to
extend
the
adoption.
L
Giving
applicants
are
giving
developers
additional
time
to
prepare
their
documents
to
get
into
the
system,
so
they
can
invest
under
the
current
code
and
also
allow
for
additional
time
in
the
training
and
publication
of
documents
you
know
getting
a
place:
the
materials
and
supply
chains
to
meet
the
new
standards,
etc.
So
there
are
some
steps
that
have
been
taken
to
try
to
support
our
builders
and
our
developers
out
there
and
trying
to
smooth
the
path
so
that
when
the
order
is
lifted,
we
can
all
get
back
to
work
and
do
it
in
a
safe
way.
L
A
Thank
you
very
much
and
man
you,
you
guys,
are
just
working
overtime
right
now.
We
just
want
to
thank
you
so
much
for
the
good
work.
You're
doing
I,
don't
know
if
there's
any
comments
or
questions,
but
I
will
go
down
in
this
order.
Councilmember
Barksdale
deputy
mayor,
our
new
in-house
council
members
on
leased,
Oaks
Robertson,
and
then
lastly
me
so
you
don't
need
to
comment.
But
if
you
have
a
question
or
a
comment,
go
ahead:
councilmember
Barksdale.
D
K
Yes,
I
do
have
a
couple
of
comments
and
then
a
question
you
know
I've
been
in
this
industry
now
for
thirty
years,
and
we
I
want
to
just
make
sure
that
when
we
look
at
the
permits
that
are
currently
have
already
been
issued
that
the
hundred
and
eighty
days
is
sufficient,
mainly
because
what
I'm
seeing
is
that
we
have
had
some
because
of
the
projects
that
have
all
been
suspended.
There
are
some
supply
chain
challenges
with
plants
that
have
been
closed.
K
How
long
it
takes
for
contractors
when
they
restart
to
have
updated
coded
safety
plans
on
getting
our
own
staff
being
prepared
for
the
fact
that
the
kovetz
still
going
to
be
there
when
this
construction
is
restarted.
So
with
those
pieces
Mike.
What
I
wanted
to
understand
is
if
the
hundred
and
eighty
days
is
not
sufficient,
because
what
we
see
is
that
it's
going
to
take
some
of
the
contractors
longer
to
close
any
funding
gaps.
Make
modifications
to
their
construction
means
and
methods?
Is
there
opportunities
to
extend
it
further?
At
a
later
date,
council.
L
Members,
I
I
appreciate
your
your
observations
about
all
of
the
influences
that
are
playing
in
the
background
that
can
impact
the
ability
of
projects
to
proceed.
So
absolutely
the
council
could
elect
to
extend
permits
again.
In
fact,
back
in
the
recession,
the
council
acted
twice
to
extend
permits
back
to
back
so
allowing
additional
time
for
projects
to
get
the
feedback
under
a
man's
recovery
began.
So
if
we
find
that
these
projects
are
really
going
trouble
getting
started
because
we
can
certainly
discuss
additional
extensions,
yeah.
K
I
think
that'll
be
really
important
because
by
the
time
it
reopens,
if
it
reopens
on
May
4th,
they
will
already
have
been
40
days
of
time
that
they've
been
suspended
and
then
just
seeing
the
level
of
potential
in
efficiencies
and
impacts
for
those
projects
that
are
still
essential
and
going
I.
Think
that
there's
going
to
be
challenges
when
we
restart
so
being
as
ready
as
possible
in
supporting
those
contractors
during
this
time
will
be
super
important.
K
A
I
Thank
You
mayor
first
of
all,
thanks
to
staff
for
turning
this
around
so
quickly
and
yes,
as
council
members
on
inquired,
we
can
do
this
again
if
it's
needed
I
hope
it's
not
needed
that
the
economy
comes
booming
back,
but
if
it
doesn't,
and
people
still
need
some
help,
we
can
do
it
again.
We
also
can
extend
land
use
entitlements
if
we
need
to
and
I
assume
staff
will
be
keeping
their
eyes
on
that.
The
director
president
is
that
correct
that
you'll
be
watching
that
in
the
months
ahead.
Yes,.
L
Absolutely
we
are
looking
closely
at
the
entitlements
now
also
when
we
issue
an
just
real,
quick
point
when
we
issue
a
land
use
decision
and
the
building
permit
is
submitted,
the
life
of
the
entitlement
rides
with
the
building
permit.
So
a
lot
of
those
entitlements
are
attached
to
building
permits
now
so
they're,
pretty
good
shape
and
they'll
get
the
benefit
of
the
extension
that
you're
considering
tonight.
But,
yes,
we
are
absolutely
looking
at
all
of
the
applications
in
the
system.
Great.
I
Thank
you,
so
yeah
I'm,
very
supportive
of
this
I,
think
this
is
going
to
help
all
of
the
people
who
are
building
in
Bellevue.
You
know,
as
far
as
actually
helping
them
have
more
time
to
get
their
supply
chain,
their
people
back
to
work,
etc.
But
the
other
thing
that
the
other
reason
this
is
important
to
do
is
that
this
sends
a
message.
A
lot
of
these
developments
have
funding
partners,
and
this
sends
a
message
to
those
funding
partners,
whether
it's
a
bank
or
an
investor
that
Bellevue
wants
to
help.
I
These
developments
happen,
wants
to
make
them
successful,
and
once
you
do
what
we
can
to
facilitate
them
coming
back
so
I'm,
looking
forward
to
the
governor
lifting
the
construction
ban,
I'm
hoping
he
does
it
before
May
5th,
so
that
people
can
start
getting
back
and
building
my
goodness
the
weather's
been
terrific.
We
should
this
is
the
building
season
when
we
need
to
get
to
it.
A
mayor
I'd
also
like
to
ask
if
I
may
make
the
motion
to
approve
this
when
the
time
is
right.
Thank
you.
So.
A
It's
such
a
delicate
balance
and
the
governor's
having
to
really
work
hard
with
all
the
data
he's
been
given
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
open
so
fast
that
we
just
have
another
wave
and
shut
everything
down
for
longer,
but
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
a
well-thought-out
reopening
of
our
economy
and
getting
our
businesses
back
in
action
and
I
think
that
this
will
help
that
move
forward
successfully
when
time
comes,
and
hopefully
that
soon
so
councilmember
Robertson.
Would
you
like
to
make
a
motion
to
adopt
ordinance,
60,
508,
Thank.
A
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
opposed
all
right.
The
ordinance
sixty
five
oh
eight
passes.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
really
appreciated
everybody's,
just
your
thoughtful
comments
and
all
the
hard
work
that
you're
doing
every
week
advocating
for
the
citizens
of
bellevue
doing
a
really
good
job.
We
will
all
keep
it
up
and
hopefully
we
will
regroup
sooner
than
later.
Okay,
the
meetings
adjourned.
Thank
you.
So
much.
