A
Well,
welcome
to
the
bellevue
city
council,
regular
meeting
for
monday
september
20th
2020..
Can
we
have
roll
call,
please
city
clerk,
mayor,
robinson.
B
A
C
Okay,
yes,
mayor
I'd,
be
more
than
happy
to,
whereas
it
is
important
to
honor
the
thousands
of
people
in
bellevue
impacted
by
alzheimer's
disease
and
other
types
of
dementia
diseases
for
which
there
is
currently
no
means
of
prevention,
treatment
or
cure.
And
whereas
120
000
people
in
washington.
C
A
We
have
one
of
our
two
king
county
council.
H
A
K
Thank
you
very
much
mayor
robinson.
I
sure
appreciate
the
chance
to
be
here
and-
and
I
wish
I
could
be
in
person
of
course,
bellevue's
my
home,
my
family's,
been
here
in
february
of
1950
when
they
moved
to
viewcrest,
which
was
the
first
planned
development
on
the
east
side
of
the
lake
and
back
at
a
time
when
the
population
of
bellevue
was
about
5,
000
people,
and
it's
just
incredible
to
see
a
change
in
and
run
the
way
it
does.
K
It
is
certainly
one
of
the
best
run
cities
in
my
judgment
in
the
county
and
it's
a
privilege
to
represent
it.
I've
got
a
a
power
point.
I'd
like
to
run
through
the
clerk,
doesn't
mind,
I'm
a
I'm,
a
low-tech
man
in
a
high-tech
world
here,
so
sometimes
it's
better
to
have.
Somebody
else
run
the
powerpoint
for
me,
but
let
me
do
the
powerpoint,
then,
if
the
if
the
mayor
mayor
robertson,
will
permit
it.
K
K
For
the
king
county,
the
okay
public
health
department
is
to
flatten
the
curve
right
to
make
sure
that
we
aren't
all
getting
sick
at
the
same
time
and
overwhelming
our
local
hospitals
like
overlake
and
evergreen
and
others
ability
to
handle
and
triage.
K
The
most
serious
cases
that
come
in
the
executive
has
put
together
some
significant
sites,
isolation,
quarantine
assessment,
recovery,
shelter
sites
and
working
hard
to
increase
testing
facilities
so
that
not
without
some
conflict,
but
those
facilities
have
been
up
and
running
across
the
county,
working
to
mitigate
the
financial,
economic
and
social
impacts
of
covet
19.
The
federal
government,
as
you
were
well
aware,
did
a
number
of
different
federal
pieces
of
legislation.
K
Through
the
cares
act,
funding
we
received
close
to
300
million
dollars
with
the
idea
that
it
needed
to
be
spent
for
sort
of
covid
related
expenses
by
the
end
of
the
year.
So
jeannie
colwell
serves
as
the
budget
chair
and
we've
already
done.
Four
emergency
budgets
and
a
lot
of
different
programs
have
been
funded
some
in
bellevue.
K
Through
that
process,
we
are
taking
up
yet
another
covent
supplemental
late
in
the
fall
transmitted
in
october,
we'll
probably
handle
it
in
november,
and
that
is
there's
still
like
90
million
dollars
available
to
move
out
into
the
community.
So
please
continue
to
think-
and
I
know
claudia
also,
my
colleague
thinks
the
same
way.
Please
continue
to
think
about
programs
that
have
been
affected
by
covid
or
things
that
we
can
fund
moving
forward
to
help
reduce
the
shock
of
of
the
economic
or
housing
challenges
that
we
face
there.
K
We
did
a
lot
of
other
things.
We
extended
the
property
tax
payment
deadline
and
and
also
created
a
more
robust
property
tax
payment
plan
and
finally
put
forward
project
cara
is
proud
to
work
on
that
it
taps
into
the
spirit
of
volunteerism
in
a
wide
variety
of
ways
to
help
people
get
engaged
in
this.
This
fight,
I'm
looking
forward.
We
are
planning
for
recovery.
K
Things
like
disposable
face
coverings
have
been
handed
out
in
large
numbers,
councilmember
balducci
and
I
she
serves
as
chair
of
the
council.
I
serve
as
vice
chair
of
the
council,
and
we
have
launched
an
economic
recovery
work
group.
K
Just
a
few
days
ago,
which
will
be
designed
to
try
and
get
us
out
of
the
economic
malaise
associated
with
covet
19
as
quickly
as
possible
and
hopefully
in
front
of
other
communities
in
the
country
for
a
lot
of
different
reasons,
because
I
think
we
can
help
do
things
interesting
things
like,
for
example,
the
city
of
renton
is
identifying
right
now,
a
vaccination
development
siting
process.
K
They
want
to
bring
in
a
vaccine,
production
and
manufacturing,
because
once
we
identify
the
vaccine,
then
we
have
to
actually
mass
produce
it
and
the
idea
of
domestic
production
is
cheaper.
It's
easier
to
get
out
to
our
people,
and
so
those
are
the
kinds
of
things
we're
focusing
on
done.
Some
other
work
that
I'm
proud
of
updating
our
pandemics
planning
documents
moving
forward
and
asking
uw
to
study
what
we
did
right
and
what
we
did
wrong.
So
we
don't
we
don't
let
this
lesson
be
lost.
K
We
had
very
little
information
from
the
1918
pandemic,
the
spanish
flu
pandemic,
and
so
had
there
been
better
literature.
We
might
have
been
able
to
do
a
little
bit
better
job
in
getting
oriented
out
of
the
gate,
and
certainly
we
want
to
leave
that
legacy
those
those
lessons
learned
for
future
generations,
because
it
might
be
10
years
it
might
be
100
before
we
have
another
pandemic.
We
need
to
save
that
information
and
pass
it
on
to
future
generations.
Next
slide.
Please.
K
Let
me
look
back.
There
was
a.
I
went
through
a
lot
of
literature
in
the
early
1918
pandemic
and
this
one
came
out
of
the
national
geographic
which
you
might
find
interesting.
It's
the
1918
flu
pandemic,
which
had
a
little
bit
higher
mortality
in
a
little
bit
younger
subset
of
the
population.
But
what
you'll
see
is
in
seattle,
the
black
line
represents
deaths
and
you'll,
see
that
there
was
a
double
event
in
seattle,
the
second
event
being
slightly
less
bad
than
the
first
in
spokane.
K
There
was
also
a
double
event,
but
the
second
one
was
actually
worse
than
the
first
you'll
also
see
that
this
brown
area
or
these
boxes,
those
brownish
gray
areas,
are
the
duration
of
social
distancing
measures
that
they
employ
employed.
Then
social
distancing,
stay
at
home
types
of
orders
masking
and
what
you
see
pretty
clearly
is
when
they
stop
those
measures
when
they
believe
they
had
a
handle
on.
It
is
exactly
when
we
saw
the
pandemic
get
back
out
of
control.
K
Further
research
into
this
pandemic
shows
quite
clearly
that
the
locations
and
cities
and
jurisdictions
that
had
stronger
social,
distancing
methods,
better
social,
distancing
efforts
and
did
it
for
a
longer
time
or
the
the
communities
that
came
out
of
that
recession
more
quickly.
K
So
there
is
a
correlation
between
locking
down
and
economic
recovery,
which
is
counter
to
some
of
what
folks
out
there
in
the
world
are
saying
right
now,
but
what
you
maybe
notice,
is
you
see
a
pretty
strong
bipartisan
effort,
at
least
the
county
level,
to
make
sure
that
we
continue
those
social
testing
efforts
moving
forward
next
slide,
please,
and
what
you
see
here
is
very
similar,
very
similar
to
what
we
saw
in
the
1918
pandemic,
a
double
event.
K
The
blue
lines
represent
new
cases,
you'll
see
the
first
event,
as
we
all
saw
in
the
spring
and
then
a
lull
and
then
a
second
event
in
summer,
the
red
it
represents
actual
deaths,
and
we
got
even
though
the
infections
were
pretty
close
to
the
same.
We
got
better
at
treating
it.
We
got
better
at
handling
it.
We
got
out
in
front
increased
testing
methods.
K
All
of
that
helped
substantially.
I
think
there
are.
There
are
some
cities
and
communities
that
went
through
a
triple
event
in
the
1918
pandemic.
I
hope
we
don't,
but
we
we
might
well
go
through
yet
a
third
event.
I
hope
not,
but
if
it
happens,
it
likely
would
happen
in
the
late
fall
next
slide.
Please.
K
This
is
the
statewide
unemployment
surge
that
happened
and
you'll
see
it
tracks
right
on
back
to
that,
first
wave
of
the
pandemic,
dramatic
depression
era,
levels
of
unemployment
that
spiked
up
there
for
a
good
period
of
time,
almost
three
months
and
then
came
back
down
some
they're
still
nowhere
near
where
they
were
we've
got
a
ways
to
go,
and
part
of
that
is
economic
uncertainty.
Part
of
that
is
is
the
social
efforts
we
put
in
place.
K
There's
no
easy
solution
here,
as
you
all
know,
but
we
do
have
a
ways
to
go,
and
that's
why
we've
been
focusing
on
economic
recovery
is
one
of
the
key
things
we
need
to
be
doing
looking
forward
next
slide,
please
here's
some
legislation.
I've
been
working
on
project
care
that
spirit
of
volunteerism
pop
payment
plans
for
property
tax
bills,
because
we
know
the
first
thing
people
are
going
to
do
is
wait
on
their
taxes
in
an
uncertain
economic
time.
K
K
I'm
working
right
now
on
strengthening
our
video
conferencing,
privacy
laws
for
health,
related
programs
like
addiction
and
recovery
meetings
that
that
people
should
have
a
reasonable
expectation
of
privacy,
but
because
it's
an
online
forum,
I
don't
necessarily
get
there's
some
mischief
making
going
on
in
that
process.
So
we
want
to
strengthen
the
law
there
and
then
some
good
work
on
allowing
the
restaurant
services
unincorporated
to
expand
next
slide.
Please
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
king
county,
regional
homelessness
authority.
K
I
know
you've
heard
a
lot
about
this
through
suburban
cities
or
sound
cities,
but
we
all
sort
of
came
to
a
compromise
about
a
truly
king
county
regional
homelessness
group
of
leaders.
I
serve
on
the
executive
committee,
along
with
joe
mcdermott
dow
constantine
from
the
county,
jenny,
durkin
and
a
couple
of
saudis.
Little
council
members
are
on
there
as
well
as
a
a
good
number
of
suburban
city,
council
members
or
mayors,
and
let's
go
to
the
next
slide.
A
K
Yes,
so
well
he's
on
the
he's
on
the
where
the
rubber
meets
the
road
he's
on
the
the
task
force,
there's
a
sort
of
a
higher
level
executive
committee.
That
sort
of
does
the
high
level
set
up,
including
picking
these
folks,
and
we
did
get
john
on
there
and
I
was
proud
to
appoint,
nominate
him
and
appoint
him
as
a
little
bit
of
a
fight.
For
some
reasons.
I
won't
really
get
into
too
much
unless
you
have
a
question
on
it,
but
the
la
is
moving
forward.
K
It's
supposed
to
coordinate
unifier
response
between
seattle,
king
county
and
the
other
entities,
including
the
suburban
cities,
we're
going
to
dedicate
unless
we
plan
about
55
million,
including
almost
2
million
for
startup,
and
then
seattle
would
go
in
for
about
75
million,
all
in
2
million
for
startup
costs.
So
the
normal
budget
process
is
still
controls.
The
budget
appropriations
slide.
K
So
there's
that
governing
board
we
talked
about.
You
can
see
the
mayor's
that
are
on
there
angela's
on
there
nancy
backus,
ed,
prince
from
rent.
You
know
a
lot
of
these
folks.
Some
lived
experience
coalition
and
then
you'll
see
down
the
implementation
board.
Claudia
and
I
really
were
very
pleased
to
see
john
shellman
act,
interested
and
willing
to
do
this,
and
you
know
simple
things
like
getting
insurance.
Getting
the
all.
You
know
getting
the
the
space
we
need
to
make
it
work,
hiring
the
firms
to
hire
a
ceo
he's.
K
You
know
he's
good
at
that
he's
come
through
sort
of
your
your
training
regimen,
so
to
speak
in
a
lot
of
other
life
experiences.
So
I'm
glad
he
is
there
we're
in
the
process
we've
hired
a
firm
that
will
generate
a
ceo
hoping
for
somebody
with
a
lot
of
energy
and
great
communication
skills,
and
somebody
is
willing
to
take
a
little
bit
of
a
risk,
because
this
is
not
a
sure
thing
by
any
stretch,
we're
going
to
hopefully
hire
that
person
later.
This
fall
next
slide.
K
Please
shifting
gears
over
to
the
flood
control
district.
I
no
longer
share
that
dave
up
to
grove
and
I
switched
places
I
moved
into
vice
chair
and
he
took
over
chair.
Let
me
show
you
some
of
the
stuff
we're
doing
in
bellevue.
Next
slide.
Here's
some
of
the
flood
control
projects,
since
we
got
this
going
you'll
see.
K
There's
about
32
million
dollars
in
funding
some
of
the
big
ones
like
the
factoria
boulevard
drainage,
which
is
down
there
kind
of
out
in
front
of
the
the
old
7-11
and
and
or
the
t-mobile
down
below
t-mobile
headquarters.
K
Also,
the
lower
coal
creek
projects
a
lot
of
significant
bridges
and
newport
shores
that
area
upstream,
a
little
bit
from
that.
So
a
lot
of
good
stuff
going
on
there,
a
lot
of
money
in
the
opportunity
fund
that
city
of
bellevue
has
taken
advantage
of
as
well
as
flood
reduction
grants
and
you'll
see
some
of
those
important
important
ones
there
as
well.
Next
slide,
please
the
biggest.
Perhaps
most
controversial
is
the
willamore
project
which
is
draining
at
lake
sammamish.
The
outflow
stream
down
there.
K
You
all
are
I'm
sure,
aware
of
that
february
event.
Earlier
this
year
in
the
transition
zone,
1
500
cubic
feet
per
second,
and
it
was,
it
was
exceeded
the
lake
level
performance
and
not
a
good
situation.
All
it's
exactly
what
we're
trying
to
do
to
mitigate
against
it.
Back
in
2016,
we
approved
executive
proof,
30
percent
design
that
include
modifications
to
lake
samamish's
weir
element
to
create
a
dynamic,
we're
meaning
a
basically
a
small
dam
that
could
move
up
and
down,
and
we
have
our
flood
control
district
pursued.
K
A
third
party
independent
review
of
the
design
aspects
being
considered.
We
are
looking
at
next
steps.
This
isn't
moving
nearly
fast
enough.
From
my
perspective,
I
just
feel
like.
We
need
certainty
and
predictability,
but
it's
not
in
my
district,
it's
in
it's
kind
of
right
between
claudia
balducci's,
district
and
kathy
lambert,
so
the
advisory
committee
put
a
million
bucks
forward
for
the
2021
proposal
for
the
expenditures
on
that
and
so
I'd.
If
you
have
any
update
or
opinion
on
what
we
you
think,
we
should
be
doing
on
that.
K
I'm
happy
to
hear
it
in
anticipation
of
fall.
Coming,
crews
were
out
last
week
removing
vegetation
in
the
transition
zone
to
increase
flow
of
the
watering
exit
lake
sammamish.
It's
it's
really
not
enough.
In
my
judgment.
We
need
to
do
something
better,
including
a
dynamic,
we're
so
that
those
docks
don't
come
underwater.
I
think
we're
all
concerned
about
the
possibility
of
some
kind
of
a
class
action
lawsuit
and
we
need
to
move
quickly
to
get
an
environmentally
friendly
way
to
keep
that
lake
level
functional.
K
So
that's
my
view
anyway,
for
what
it's
worth
next
slide
briefly
on
the
king
county
budget.
K
Next
slide,
please,
we
have
a
you
know,
very,
not
a
good
forecast
for
the
remainder
of
the
2020
budget,
about
100
million
dollar
decrease
in
our
general
fund.
Our
mental
illness
and
drug
dependency
decreased
down
13
plus
percent
at
a
time
when
we're
seeing
a
rise
in
addictions
and
mental
health
challenges.
As
you
know,
huge
decrease
in
metro
funding,
lodging
tax
rental
car
and
reit
the
third
cova
emergency
budget,
appropriated
about
a
million
bucks
to
cover
the
cost
of
permitting
that
that
helped
them
out,
but
the
one
good
bright
spot
in
all.
K
This
is
in
addition
to
that
nearly
300
million
that
the
federal
government
gave
us
the
cares
act,
there's
also
244
million
subsidizing,
the
transit
agencies,
so
at
least
this
year,
metro,
even
with
the
cost,
will
come
close
to
breaking,
even
and
and
that's
good.
But
next
year
and
the
year
after
could
be
much
different
next
slide.
Please-
and
this
is
the
21
22
biennial
budget
forecast.
K
These
are
the
big
hits
again.
These
are
tough
to
absorb
in
part,
because
we're
spending
a
bit
of
our
rainy
day
fund
reserve
funds
to
handle
some
of
the
local
aspects
of
covet
and
things
that
weren't
that
the
federal
government's
funding
didn't
take
care
of
early
on
in
our
expenses.
We
were
the
first
community
to
be
hit
with
this
across
the
country.
Another
good
sign,
however,
is
the
real
estate
market.
K
At
this
time
at
least
appears
to
be
fairly
healthy,
and
so
we're
not
seeing
the
same
kind
of
dramatic
diminution
in
property
values
like
we
saw
in
that
bursting
of
the
real
estate
bubble
economy
from
the
last
recession
next
slide.
K
So
all
our
committees
are
standing
down
now
and
we've
got
a
budget.
Flood
control
will
have
its
own
budget.
Our
21
22
biennial
budget
was
transmitted
tuesday
by
the
executive.
You
probably
heard
some
things
related
to
that
budget
in
terms
of
general
fund
and
cx
dollars
being
cut
to
various
agencies,
and
then
we
got
our
fifth
supplemental
budget
and
I
think
it's
really
important.
K
We
just
don't
know
where
the
federal
government's
going
to
go
in
terms
of
funding
that
if
there
are
requests
in
the
city
of
bellevue,
send
them
our
way
so
that
I
can
work
with
claudia
and
get
those
inserted
next
slide.
K
So
those
are
the
beef
brief
major
websites.
You
can
take
a
look
at
for
additional
information,
but
it
has
been.
Can
I
say
this?
It's
been
challenging
just
like
for
all
of
you,
but
I
would
just
say
that
you
know
america
has
always
had
challenges.
Every
generation
of
us
has
faced
something
in
the
in
our
past:
grandparents,
great
grandparents,
whether
it's
wars
or
depressions
or
even
pandemics,
and
we
find
a
way
to
get
through
it
we'll
get
through
this
too,
but
it.
K
A
Yeah,
thank
you
councilmember
dunn,
for
your
presentation.
That's
fantastic!
I'm
going
to
call
our
council
members
in
this
order!
Council
members
on
newinghouse,
barksdale,
robertson,
stokes
lee
and
then
myself
so
council
members
on
yes,.
C
Thank
you,
councilmember
dunn,
for
that
very
thorough
update
on.
What's
going
on
at
the
king
county
council,
we
really
appreciate
working
in
partnership
with
king
county.
You
know,
as
you
mentioned,
we
have
a
lot
of
services
that
are
provided
by
the
county
and
I'm
especially
grateful
that
you
mention
the
mid
the
mental
illness
and
drug
dependency
fund,
because
I
do
think
that
as
part
of
covid,
we
have
a
lot
of
challenges
with
people
that
are
are
struggling
so
to
the
degree
that
that
funding
can
be
retained
as
much
as
possible
is
important.
C
And
then
I
think,
as
you
said,
we're
very
grateful
that
on
the
housing
side,
that
our
housing
market
is
still
very
strong
and
the
hope
is
that
as
we
move
into
covet
recovery,
that
we
continue
to
be
one
of
the
first
to
emerge
out
of
cobid.
So
appreciate
your
comments
and
thank
you.
K
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
Councilmember
yeah,
it's
yeah,
there's
a
a
lot
packed
into
that
question
and
I
appreciate
very
much
your
support.
I
I
think
some
agencies
are
going
to
do
better
than
others.
Metro
will
be
one
we're
going
to
have
a
big
fight
over
criminal
justice
funding
and
the
issue
of
deputies
in
the
jail
and
there's
a
lot
of
that
stuff.
But
you
know
it
could
be.
K
It
could
be
worse,
but
the
way
we're
going
to
get
through
this
is
working
together
and
and
trying
to
augment
those
funding
sources
that
we
know
are
weak.
You
know
my
own
view
is
the
federal
government
started
a
substantial
amount
of
investment
to
try
and
deal
with
covid
19..
I
don't
see
why
you
stopped
that
funding
right
in
the
middle
of
the
second
spike
in
a
pandemic.
K
It
seems
to
me,
if
you're
going
to
go
that
far,
you
might
as
well
follow
through
with
the
additional
funding
to
get
us
through
we're
going
to
have
a
big
debt
issue
we'll
have
to
deal
with,
but
rather
come
out
of
this,
as
opposed
to
ending
sort
of
the
sugar
high
that
the
economy
is
on
and
dump
us
down
in
the
middle
of
the
pandemic,
which
could
create
more
substantially
more
economic
uncertainty.
Thank
you
for
your
comments.
L
Thank
you,
mayor,
councilmember
done
welcome
again,
thank
you
for
being
here
certainly
appreciate
both
your
leadership
and
council
member
belle
ducci.
Certainly
we're
well
represented
at
the
king
county
level,
so
great
report.
Thank
you
for
all
that
detailed
information,
especially
the
comparison
to
the
what's
in
1918
there,
the
the
the
pandemic
that
we
went
through
once
before
and.
L
Surrounding
that,
and
I
appreciate
your
willingness
to
make
sure
that
if
this
does
happen
again,
which
it
very
well
might
but
who
knows,
when
10
or
100
years,
we're
going
to
be
better
prepared
to
deal
with
it?
A
couple
of
quick
questions
for
you.
First
on
you
had
mentioned
this
vaccination
process
in
in
renton.
Is
that
something
that
king
county
is
directly
leading
in
renton?
L
Or
is
that
a
city
of
renton
initiative,
and
is
there
any
talk
of
helping
bellevue
get
set
up
in
the
in
a
similar
type
of
vaccination
process
so
that
we're
prepared
when
there
is
a
vaccination
to
take
advantage
of
it.
K
Yeah
a
good
question
I
I
reached
out
to
I
read
some
stuff
that
bill
gates
was
saying,
and
he
talked
about
the
challenge.
It
was
one
thing
to
have
johnson
and
johnson,
for
example,
or
some
other
multinational
identified
the
vaccine
yeah
it's
quite
another
to
mass
produce
it
and
get
it
in
distribution,
and
so
I'd
rather
have
it
here
than
in
you
know,
france
or
russia,
or
somewhere
else
and
and
so
yeah
we
reached
out.
K
We
worked
together
on
that,
but
there's
no
reason
why
we
can't
and
there's
some
matching
dollars
available
as
well
through
the
gates,
foundation
and
other
sources
as
well.
We
could
take
advantage
of
so
it's
an
example
of
I
mean
we
like,
for
example,
world
war
ii.
I
mean
it
was
the
west
coast
of
the
united
states
that
helped
shipbuilding
and
all
the
other
military
stuff.
They
don't
pull
us
out.
You
know
that
might
be
a
little
bit
of
an
example.
K
I'd
sure
like
to
I
mean,
I
think
we
can
really
do
the
best
thing,
not
only
for
our
region
and
the
workers
who
are
unemployed,
but
for
the
country,
if
we
can
follow
through
with
our
commitment,
strong
social
distancing
and
then
make
the
investments
up
front
early
to
bring
us
out,
bring
the
best
parts
of
the
public
sector
in
the
private
sector
together.
So
I'd
love
to
work
with
you,
councilmember
new
house
on
that
and
anything
else,
yeah.
L
No
absolutely-
and
thank
you
for
that
next
question
on
eastgate
the
quarantine
isolation
site
there
in
in
eastgate
is
that
currently
slated
to
be
used
at
all,
or
is
that
just
an
emergency
backup-
and
this
is
a
question
I
get
quite
often
from
eastgate
residents-
is
there?
L
K
Well,
city
staff
might
know
the
the
most
recent
I
haven't
had
a
chance
to
talk
with
our
tony
wright
on
that
recently.
I
don't
think
it's
a
primary
point.
At
this
time.
The
there
has
been
discussion
about
well,
for
example,
the
executive
rolled
out
a
a
one,
tenth
of
a
percent
sales
tax
for
low-income
homeless
housing
just
recently
that
we
bond
against
that
revenue
stream
and
come
up
with
400
million
dollars.
K
You
know:
does
that
mean
that
that
site
is
identified
for
that,
like
the
red
lion
and
renton
and
the
hotel
down
in
kent
that
have
been
highly
controversial
right.
The
answer
that
I
have
been
told
repeatedly
and
emphatically
by
the
executive
is
no.
The
cities
will
be
the
ones
that
will
make
the
choice
to
do
that.
K
I
like
to
take
them
at
their
word,
but
I'd
like
to
see
that
in
writing
as
well.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
is
the
city's
and
the
city
planning
process
and
your
land
use
laws,
and
the
policy
decision
by
the
council
that
are
are
the
ones
that
make
the
final
final
choice.
I
don't
want
to
see
king
county
or
for
its
public
health
emergency
authority
push
something
into
a
community.
L
Agreed
one
last
question
for
you,
certainly
at
the
king
county
level,
as
well
as
every
municipality
right
now
dealing
with
some
very
challenging
budget
issues
right
now,
as
as
we
work
on
our
our
biannual
budget
right
now,
and
I've
been
paying
close
attention
to
at
the
king
county
level
as
well,
and
one
of
the
things
that
struck
me
is
about
the
executive
proposal
to
the
6.5
divestment
from
king
county's
law
enforcement
budget.
Do
you
think
that's
going
to
have
any
implications
for
bellevue
and
if
so,
how.
K
Well,
you
saw
100
officers
cut
or
up
to
100
officers
cut
in
the
city
of
seattle
and
we're
looking
at
around
somewhere
between
30
and
40.
Sheriff's
deputies
cut
from
the
force.
K
What
there's
a
few
there's
a
dozen
ft's
cut
immediately,
but
the
the
sort
of
the
devil's
in
the
details,
there's
no
filling
of
attrition,
and
we
have
you
know
a
couple.
Dozen
officers
retire
out
of
the
size
of
the
police
force
so
130
to
140
officers
in
king
county
right
off
the
top
that
doesn't
include
the
the
38
other
city
jurisdictions,
so
not
directly
necessarily
to
your
police
service,
but
crime
doesn't
really
care
whether
it's
you
know
in
renton
or
newcastle
or
bellevue
or
kirkland,
or
it
comes
across
the
bridge.
K
We
all
know
so
that,
in
my
view,
anyway,
that
that
substantial
of
a
reduction
in
our
law
enforcement
capability
is
going
to
have
problems
county
county
wide
because
look
violent
criminals,
don't
a
social
worker
is
not
going
to
help
a
violent
criminal
social
worker's
not
going
to
help.
You
know
organize
crime.
K
There
are
substantial,
organized
crime
operations
happening
right
now
in
king
county,
some
of
them.
I
know
about,
and
it's
not
good
and
the
law
enforcement
presence
is
is
really
critical.
I
mean
people
well,
the
feds
will
take
care
of
it.
No
95
of
all
law
enforcement
is
at
the
local
level.
The
feds
have
very
little
resource,
so
I
have
very
strong
concerns
about
that
level
of
funding
cuts
without
really
thinking
it
through.
That's
my
own
view,
yeah.
N
Thank
you
mayor
good,
to
see
you
council,
member
done.
O
N
That
you
and
council
chair
balducci
are
doing
in
support
of
the
city.
I
just
want
to
say.
I
really
appreciate
all
the
work
that
king
county
is
doing
around
covet.
It
takes
quite
a
bit
of
the
pressure
not
to
say
that
we
didn't
have
any
pressure,
but
quite
a
bit
of
the
pressure
off
of
the
city
and
in
terms
of
the
coordination
and
with
the
help
with
the
funding.
So
thank
you
for
that
for
the
willow
project.
K
Councilmember
barksdale
thanks
very
much
and
great
to
see
on
the
council
really
and
glad
and
excited
you
are
there.
You
got
a
great
great
background
and
I'm
glad
you're
there
yeah
your
interest
in
the
willamora.
You
know
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
return
the
old
sammamish
river.
That
outflow
was,
you
know,
used
to
be
a
river
coming
out
of
there
until
it
was
engineered
into
a
slew
for
navigation
purposes,
but
I
mean
there's
factions,
you
know
this
faction's
fighting
back
and
forth.
K
I
mean
at
some
point
we
picked
the
most
environmentally
friendly
of
the
three
designs.
It
was
a
little
bit
more
expensive,
but
I
think
it's
worth
it
and
I
just
think
at
some
point
in
time.
We
can
just
study
this
thing
to
the
end.
The
tail.
I
think
we
just
have
to
make
a
call
and
move
forward
on
it,
get
it
done,
make
it
a
beautiful
urban
river
corridor
and
and
make
sure
it
actually
drains
the
lake.
Those
issues
aren't
mutually
exclusive.
We
can
accomplish
both
goals.
I
think
so.
P
Councilmember
robertson
thanks.
I
so
appreciate
the
conversation
of
my
colleagues
getting
to
a
lot
of
the
issues
that
are
important
to
me
as
well
good
to
see
you
tonight,
councilmember
dunn
and
wow.
What
a
great
presentation
it
was
very,
very
informative.
So
thank
you
for
having
prepping
that
for
us
on
the
wilmore.
I'll.
Just
add
that
I
appreciate
your
mentioning
of
a
dynamic
where
I
think
that
that's
going
to
be
really
important
and
ultimately,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
it
needs
to
be
a
flood
control
project.
P
It
should
be
due
for
the
environment,
but
it
also
needs
to
do
control
the
flooding,
and
you
mentioned
the
possibility
of
a
class-action
lawsuit.
I
I've
heard
rumors
of
that
as
well.
I
really
hope
king
county
works
with
the
lake
owners
and
the
people
around
there
to
help
make
it
make
it
drain
the
way
it
should.
So.
I
really
appreciate
that
having
that
in
your
presentation,
so
I
have
two
comments
or
questions
tonight.
One
is
about
covid.
P
You
talked
about
flattening
the
curve,
and
I
know
that
that's
been
the
goal
all
along
and
we've
really
done
it.
King
county
has
been
amazing.
We're
down
to
51
cases
per
100
000
of
positive
tests.
Our
hospital
rates
are
the
average
admission
is
zero
to
two
for
the
last
seven
days.
So
I
mean
we
have
really
done
a
great
job
with
the
masking
etc.
P
Are
you
working
with
the
governor,
or
I
mean,
because
we
need
to
make
sure
that
the
people
can
go
back
to
work,
that
child
care
and
schools
can
reopen
it's
really
important
to
economic
recovery
and
for
the
well-being
of
the
day-to-day
people
who
live
in
king
county?
So.
K
What
are
you?
We
are
working
very
closely
with
the
governor
and
claudia
and
I
are
on
phone
calls
most
every
morning,
working
with
our
public
health
experts
and-
and
I
know,
and
I
communicate
with
the
governor
chief
of
staff
pretty
regularly
claudia,
is
on
a
call.
I
think
I
share
the
council
almost
every
day
on
that
issue.
We
are,
we
are
doing.
You
know
everything
we
can
providing
good
information
or
doing
that
all
the
work
to
assist
with
the
the
contract
tracing
and
the
pbe
and
everything
that's
is
going
on.
K
You
know
I
think
I've
had
a
chance
to
to
see
just
briefly
some
of
the
other
areas
in
the
country
and
there
we
have
a
much
stronger
culture,
I
think,
of
of
the
social
distancing
than
maybe
some
of
the
other
communities
in
america.
A
lot
of
it
depends
on
the
attitude
of
the
the
the
governor
or
the
state
or
in
some
cases,
even
president,
and
so
I
I
I
think
the
best
thing
we
can
continue
to
do
is
sort
of
stay
the
course-
and
I
think
we'll
find
that
I
mean
florida.
K
For
example,
you
know
was
up
towards
15
000
cases
a
day
and
they're
only
down
to
about
3
000
cases
a
day
which
is
still
something
like
six
times.
What
our
entire
state
is
facing
and
they're
going
to
open
it
all
up.
They
don't
care
they're,
just
they're
opening
it
all
now
bars
everything.
Okay,
I
don't
know
I
don't
I
don't
know
I
I
mean
you
know,
maybe
it
maybe
this
you
know
the
bars
and
restaurants
do
a
little
better,
but
I
don't
govern
towards
all
of
that.
K
I
govern
to
the
more
vulnerable
members
of
society,
the
seniors
there,
the
number
of
deaths.
So
it's
it's
it's
a
terrible
set
of
choices
we
have
to
make,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day
I
think
I
ought
to
choose,
choose
that
and
I'd
like
to
think
that
we
will
come
out
of
this
based
on
the
empirical
data
we've
seen
before
more
quickly,
if
we
just
play
it
a
little
safer
moving
forward.
P
Yeah,
our
regions
have
done
done
great
about
the
social
distancing
and
the
mask
wearing.
I
never
see
people
without
a
mask,
so
I
think
that's
one
of
the
reasons
we're
doing
so
well.
So,
oh
before
I
forget,
thank
you
and
the
rest
of
king
county
for
the
karasaki
money
for
the
organizations
in
bellevue.
P
Finally,
on
transit
service
that
one
of
my
colleagues
I
think
councilmember
zahn
touched
on
that
having
good
transit
service.
I
know
that
metro
ridership
is
way
down
right
now,
because
people
aren't
commuting
to
work.
People
that
were
typical
commuters
are
working
from
home,
they're
zooming
like
we
are,
but
once
people
start
coming
back
having
the
connections
to
the
job,
centers
is
going
to
be
really
really
critical
to
not
only
get
you
know
serving
the
job
centers
in
the
regional
growth
strategy,
but
also
making
sure
to
help
our
economy
come
back.
P
So
right
now
at
rtc
we
they're
talking
about
changing
the
service
guidelines,
in
which
case
productivity
of
routes
will
not
be
the
highest
priority
anymore,
and
I
just
wanted
to
share
that
bellevue
and
really
the
whole
east
side
and
north
end
is
concerned
about
that.
P
I
know
you
aren't
on
the
rtc
committee
for
king
county,
but
your
district's
very
concerned,
and
so
I
just
want
to
let
you
know,
I'm
the
rtc
member
from
bellevue
and
would
love
to
work
with
you
and
when
this
gets
to
council
on
that
issue,
to
make
sure
that
we
keep
care
of
the
spine
that
connects
that's
the
heart
of
the
transit
system
so
anyway.
Thank
you.
K
Yeah
really
really
important
to
keep
that
spine
going
absolutely.
Those
are
you
know,
nurses
and
doctors,
and
a
lot
of
people
that
ride
that
transit
to
get
to
the
places
that
we
need
them
to
be
so
we
can
handle
the
pandemic.
So
that's
a
front
line
type
of
thing.
We
need
to
make
investments
in.
J
Yeah
reagan,
good
to
see
you
good
to
see
your
hogan
beard
coming
along
there.
Likewise
yeah,
it's
really
good
to
see
and
you
covered
a
lot
of
topics.
Couple
of
things
I
wanted
to
just
talk
about,
one
is
on
wilmore
and
back
in
when
I
was
on
the
flood
control
district
in
2016.
So
when
we
kind
of
changed
that
got
some
emphasis
and
got
some
money,
you
know
actually
not
just
being
stuck
in
a
you
know
somewhere
there
and
started
focusing
on
it.
J
But
I
agree
with
you
totally
it's
about
time.
We
were
working
back
before
that
in
2016
2017
and
it's
2020.,
and
I
just
think
we
have
to
really
push
that
through
and
get
it
done,
and
it's
it's
important
to
not
only
us
but
redman
and
everybody
around
it.
J
I
do
want
to
say
that
I
do
applaud
the
the
fact
that
the
flood
control
district
is
taking
into
account
the
the
fish
habitat
as
well,
and
what
has
been
shown
very
scientifically
is
that
actually,
that
is
a
it
contributes
to
flood
control
if
it's
all
done
properly.
So
I
think
that's
that's
good
and
I
you
know,
I
think
we
we've
got
to
work
on
that
flood,
certainly
and
a
lot
of
ways
to
do
it.
J
So
I
appreciate
your
work
and
you
know
the
work
that
has
been
done
by
that
committee
and
looking
forward
to
that
getting
completed
before
I
wander
off.
Someplace
else
you
know,
so
that's
been
good
the
thing
on
the
homeless.
I
was
glad
to
hear
the
reports
on
that.
J
That
was,
as
you
know,
on
the
rpc
and
with
county
and
and
the
private
industries
involved,
and
all
was
a
big
battle
as
to
how
we're
going
to
get
this
done,
and
your
council
member,
you
know
said
actually
that
pete
vaughn
reichbar
said
he
came
on
15
years
ago
and
there
was
a
plan
to
cure
homelessness
in
10
years,
and
he
didn't
want
to
see
that
you
know
it's
15
years
now
and
see
that
happen
again.
J
So
I
think
the
work
we
did
to
really
get
that
structured,
properly
seems
to
be
working
well
now
that
is
much
more
collaborative
and
it
was
glad
to
see
you
know
john
on
there
working
in
that
that
part
of
it-
and
it's
it's,
I
think,
had
a
better
collaboration
between
the
county
and
the
sca
was
part
of
the
thing
that
made
it
work
and
that's
been
improving.
You
know
you've
worked
on
that,
and
so
I
appreciate
that
very
very
much.
J
That's
that's
a
very
important
thing
that
that
we
do
on
any
kind
of
issues,
and
I
I
think
you've
been
one
of
the
people
who
in
the
council
and
you
and
claudia,
really
pushed
that
so
that
that's
very
good.
The
only
other
thing
I
wanted
to
to
mention
is
that.
K
Thank
you,
councilmember
stokes,
very
much
appreciated
too
and
yeah.
We
got
a
a
lot
of
work
to
do,
but
claudia
and
I
are
fun
we
enjoy
working
together
on
this
stuff
and
even
though
she's
got,
I
only
have
about
22
000
citizens
of
bellevue,
but
important
citizens,
south
south,
you
know
mostly
south
of
interstate
90
and
but
but
still
very
important
constituencies,
and
we
we
do
work
well
together.
I
I
I'm
so
proud
that
you're
carrying
on
a
great
legacy
of
your
mother,
jennifer
don,
and
so
I
we
go
back
a
long
way
because
for
those
of
you
who
don't
know
you
know
reagan
and
his
brother
were
on
the
baseball
team
with
my
son,
so
we
kind
of
grew
up
somewhat
in
together,
so
proud
that
you
are,
you
know
representing
our
community,
the
public
as
well,
just
as
much
as
your
mother
did.
I
You
know
when
she
was
so
influential
and
caring
about
the
community
so
anyway,
of
course,
the
culvert
19
is
a
big
deal
and
with
your
representation,
we're
glad
that
you
have
been
addressing
some
of
the
very
important
issues.
I
just
want
to
mention
a
couple
of
things,
maybe
see
you
know
how
we
can
move
forward
with
the
cover
19
economy.
As
you
see,
it's
dropped
substantially,
so
many
jurisdictions
revenue
are
being
hit
drastically.
I
So
the
question
is:
how
do
we
continue
to
deliver
the
services
that
we
deliver
without
the
money
you
know
with
the
decrease
in
revenue?
The
question
I
have
is:
do
we
tighten
the
drought?
Do
we
make
priority?
Do
we?
What
do
we
do?
What
are
some
of
the
choices
we
have
to
make
and
what
are
some
of
the
things
that
county
council
can
do
you
know
on
behalf
of
the
local
jurisdictions,
because
we
all
local
residents,
we
all
pay
taxes,
for
you
know
king
handy,
the
same
goal
of
serving
the
public.
I
We
know
that
it's
a
challenge,
it's
tough!
We
as
we
you
know
that
we
start
out
with
barely
adequate.
You
know
always
struggle
with
budget.
So
with
somebody
like
you
there,
it's
really
a
blessing
to
a
voice
and
a
seat
and
representation
for
our
local
community.
I
So
another
thing,
of
course,
that's
important
with
cover
19.
We
all
want
to
make
sure
the
revenue
comes
back,
so
we
don't
know
how
long
this
is
going
to
last.
So
reopening
of
the
city
of
the
economy
is
important,
and
so
the
question,
then,
is:
what
can
we
local
government
do?
What
can
king
county
do
to
speed
up
this
reopening
and
what
can
we
do
to
give
the
people
more
trust
and
confidence?
I
And
besides,
of
course,
all
the
data
we're
getting,
which
is
always
you
know
lagging
so
so
there's
a
number
of
questions.
So
perhaps
you
know
you
can
address
some
of
that
so
that
we
can
work
together.
You
know
see
how
we
can
recover
from
this.
K
Thank
you,
councilmember
lee,
for
your
kind
comments
and
we
have,
we
sure,
have
worked
together
for
a
good
bit
of
time.
Bellevue's
always
been
a
really
well-run
city,
and
I
it's
amazing
how.
K
How
reticent
you
all
have
been
to
just
grab
at
new
revenue
streams
and
and
work
with
what
you
have
we're
going
to
have
to
learn
to
work
over
the
ad
right
now
in
king
county.
I
think,
however,
we
we
do
have
opportunities
here,
this
these
federal
dollars.
K
They
say,
there's
80
or
90
million
dollars
it
hasn't
been
spent
and
for
me,
what
I've
been
advocating
with
my
group,
it's
real
tempting
to
grab
this
money
and
throw
it
out
to
non-profit
groups
that
maybe
haven't
had
any
support
over
the
years,
but
what
we
should,
in
my
judgment,
be
doing
a
little
bit
of
that's
okay.
We
need
to
put
that
forward
to
those
organizations.
We
know
that
are
going
to
provide
critical
safety
nets
for
the
areas
where
our
general
funded
other
cx
dollars
can't
support
it.
K
So
there's
a
chance
to
use
to
feed
that
forward
and
on
the
off
chance
that
the
federal
government
says
you
know
no
more
to
the
local
governments
at
least
we'll
have
that.
But
I
you
know,
you
know
if
I'm
talking
to
my
partisan
colleagues
in
the
over
in
congress,
I'm
going
to
say
look,
you
already
put
this
much
in
finish
this
we're
getting
close.
We
think
we're
getting
close
based
on
models.
K
At
least
you
know,
february
march
time
frame
at
the
latest
that
we
should
be
getting
through
this.
So
let
us
get
through
this
as
opposed
to
dropping
it
off
while
we're
still
sick.
K
So
I
think
the
federal
government-
or
you
know
I
wouldn't
always
say
that
you
know,
but
you
know
when
you
start
something
don't
get
halfway
through
and
then
chicken
out,
I
guess
is
my
own
view.
So
let's
really
leverage
those
federal
dollars
wisely.
We
gotta
you
know,
trim
back
some
costs,
we
got
to
be
thoughtful,
we
have
to
prioritize
services
and
governments,
you
know
as
much
as
we
can
so
we'll
all
work
together.
K
I
think
on
this,
but
I
you
know,
there's
going
to
be
a
little
bit
of
a
cliff
just
you
know
for
here's
an
example
of
one
cliff,
I'm
worried
about
the
the
eviction
moratorium
is
going
to
end
soon,
there's
going
to
be
a
whole
lot
of
folks
who
were
able
to
stay
in
their
homes
that
may
well
be
forced
out,
and
so
dow
just
announced,
basically
a
funding
mechanism,
for
you
know
principally
for
to
house
the
homeless
and
and
my
concern
with
that's
a
good.
That's,
certainly
where
a
party
should
go.
K
Let's
just
do
direct
subsidies,
you
know
to
the
housing
authority
and
other
sources
that
we
can
keep
people
in
their
homes,
because
that
is
a
huge
part
of
it
and
we
can
use
the
other
part
of
that
for
dealing
with
our
homeless
population
and
that's
separate
from
what
the
regional
homeless
governance
authority
might
come
up
with
in
terms
of
a
revenue
package
moving
forward.
So
tough
questions
right
squarely
on
all
of
our
shoulders
and
we'll
find
a
way
through
it.
I
know.
I
I
A
Also,
member
lee
council
member
lee,
we
need
to
move
on
here.
Maybe
you
can
take
that
offline
with
council.
We're
done
absolutely.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Well,
I'm
just
going
to
close
really
quickly.
Councilmember
dunn,
we
really
appreciated
your
support
of
bellevue
in
everything
that
we
do
here,
whether
it's
the
east
trail
or
flood
control
or
covid
response,
and
I'm
really
proud
of
our
city
for
investing
so
much
money
into
rental
assistance,
because
we
understand
that
it's
not
just
the
tenant
who's
struggling,
it's
the
landlords
as
well
and
so
the
dollars
that
the
the
county
has
so
far
given
given
us
to
support
that
relief
effort
has
been
very
much
appreciated
and
I'll.
A
All
I
can
say
is
keep
them
coming
and
let's
keep
pushing
for
federal
dollars
to
get
through
this,
because
it
is
indeed
just
a
crisis
for
so
many
people,
and
so
many
businesses
and
we've
we're
doing
a
really
good
job
month
to
month,
but
that's
about
all
we
can
do,
and
so
we
need
to
continue
supporting
each
other
through
this.
Thank
you
for
everything.
You've
done
and
thank
you
for
being
here
tonight.
A
A
All
those
in
favor
say
I
I
motion
is
approved.
Okay
and
now
we
have
oral
communications
city
clerk.
Do
we
have
people
signed
up
for
oral
communications
tonight?
Yes,.
B
F
Thank
you.
My
name
is
ruth
lipscombe
and
I
live
at
101
cascade
key
in
bellevue.
I'm
speaking
to
you
today,
with
my
concerns
related
to
the
mayor's
pledge
to
review
the
bellevue
police
department's
use
of
force
policy.
I
applaud
your
intentions
to
make
a
concrete
statement.
In
the
wake
of
the
killings
of
george
floyd
rihanna
taylor,
manuel
ellis
and
many
others.
Those
tragedies
are
the
most
horrifying
and
visible
results
of
a
society
that
is
steeped
in
racial
injustice
and
silent
complicity
with
white
supremacy.
F
F
H
Earlier
this
year,
council
approved
a
safe
systems
framework
to
achieve
the
city's
vision,
zero
goals.
This
body
rightly
understood
that
a
systemic
and
comprehensive
approach
that
focused
on
vehicle
speeds
and
road
design
was
essential
to
achieving
the
ambitious
target
of
zero
deaths
and
serious
injuries
on
our
streets
by
2030..
H
Additionally,
council
has
expressed
strong
support
for
bold
actions
to
reduce
our
city's
greenhouse
gas
emissions
in
the
face
of
climate
change,
approving
a
50
greenhouse
gas
emissions
reduction
by
2030
and
20
dmt
per
capita
reduction
by
that
same
date.
These
are
bold
but
attainable
and
laudable
goals,
but
they
must
be
followed
through
with
concrete,
meaningful
action,
and
our
organization
was
formed
because
building
a
new
interstate
interchange
to
increase
vehicle
throughput
will
take
our
city
in
the
wrong
direction.
H
Study
after
study
has
shown
that
building
more
roads
does
not
relieve
traffic
lows.
On
the
contrary,
making
it
easier
to
drive
through
increased
road
capacity,
merely
increases
the
amount
that
people
drive.
This
follows
basic
economic
logic.
If
you
make
it
easier
to
do
something,
more
people
will
do
it,
and
in
this
case
this
happens
at
the
expense
of
our
environment,
transportation,
emissions
account
for
43
percent
of
bellevue's
greenhouse
gases.
The
city's
largest
sector
increase
in
the
number
of
vehicles
on
our
streets
will
only
serve
to
slow
bellevue's
needed
environmental
progress.
Additionally,
bellevue's
stated
vision.
H
Zero
goals
stand
in
direct
contradiction
to
this
project's
mission.
By
helping
move
more
cars,
more
move
cut
more
cars
more
quickly
on
our
streets.
We
put
pedestrians
and
other
vulnerable
road
users
at
greater
risk.
Finally,
there
are
no
details
regarding
what
exact
configurations
of
pedestrian
bike
and
transit
facilities
will
be
included
with
these
alternatives
and
transportation
staff
appear
to
be
operating
under
the
implicit
assumption
that
new
growth
can
only
be
accommodated
for
with
increased
road
capacity.
H
But
it's
important
to
remember
that
we
choose
how
we
grow,
and
our
organization
has
already
made
strides
in
imagining
a
better,
safer
and
more
sustainable
reality
on
saturday
downtown
for
people
led
a
group
of
15
community
members
on
a
walk
around
south
downtown
to
discuss
each
of
the
proposed
interchange
options
in
detail.
We
also
listen
to
the
group
as
they
describe
their
struggles,
walking
biking
and
taking
transit,
downtown
and
petition
their
feedback
on
how
to
make
the
non-motorized
experience
better.
H
In
the
coming
days,
we
will
be
sending
you
a
document
detailing
this
feedback
and
outlining
our
organization's
formal
position
on
why
buildings
interchange
does
not
serve
bellevue's,
stated
interests
in
climate
action
and
transportation
safety.
We
hope
you
will
take
this
information
and
use
it
to
guide
your
decision
making
in
this
process,
and
we
hope
that
you
arrive
at
the
responsible
conclusion.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
D
Great,
thank
you
hi.
My
name
is
sally
boucher
and
I've
lived
in
the
somerset
eastgate
neighborhood
for
35
years.
This
comment
is
in
regards
to
communication
about
the
mayor
and
council's
pledge
to
evaluate
bellevue
police
use
of
force.
While
I
wish
the
council
had
made
a
stronger
statement
about
examining
racial
equity
within
bellevue
government
and
still
await
that
process,
I'm
glad
to
see
this
step
regarding
a
review
of
police
use
of
force.
However,
I
am
concerned
that
it
will
be
easy
to
miss
information
about
this
process
and
thus
limit
participation
in
upcoming
community
forums.
D
Sorry
about
that,
as
the
current
communication
is
cumbersome
and
obtuse,
I
hope
this
is
not
on
purpose.
For
example,
it
was
difficult
for
me
to
know
the
topic
was
even
on
your
agenda
tonight.
First,
I
had
to
understand
what
was
meant
by
the
vague
term,
advancing
the
mayor's
pledge.
Unless
you
are
an
insider
or
follow
city
council
meetings
very
closely,
you
would
have
no
idea.
This
meant
anything
about
an
examination
of
police
use
of
force.
Please
consider
a
more
explicit
title
to
help
provide
clarity
and
understand
understanding
for
the
community.
D
Further
to
get
to
the
text
of
the
mayor's
pledge,
I
had
to
first
visit
the
council
meeting
web
page
click
to
open
the
agenda
and
another
click
to
get
to
the
pledge
page
and
then
one
more
click
to
actually
open
the
pledge.
Neither
the
pledge
itself
nor
the
forum
dates
are
listed
on
the
city's
website.
I
hope
that
will
change
this
week
regarding
the
forums
themselves,
I'm
specifically
interested
in
communications
to
the
under
30
members
of
our
community.
D
D
Lastly,
clear
and
precise
language,
without
acronyms
or
insider
language,
as
well
as
better
efforts
at
communicating
this
process
across
all
our
communities
will
go
a
long
way
towards
demonstrating
genuine
commitment
by
the
city
to
becoming
the
best
city
for
all
people.
We
can
possibly
be
thank
you
for
this
work.
It's
critically
important
to
our
future.
B
E
Good
evening
mayor
deputy
mayor
and
bellevue
city
council
members,
my
name
is
mallory
van
abama
and
I
work
with
the
housing
development
consortium
or
hdc.
As
a
non-profit
membership
association,
our
team,
organizational
members
and
allies
work
to
meet
the
affordable
housing
needs
of
all
people,
regardless
of
household
income
across
king
county.
E
The
city's,
ambitious,
affordable
housing
strategy
identifies
additional
actions
that
should
be
taken
to
grow
in
a
more
equitable
way,
including
recurrent,
requiring
affordability
within
transit-oriented
development
areas,
incentivizing
affordability
within
mixed
income
developments
and
addressing
needed
recalibration
of
existing,
affordable
housing
programs
and
extends
exemptions
to
increase
participation.
E
However,
the
implementation
timeline
of
the
affordable
housing
strategies
must
be
expedited.
The
average
two-bedroom
apartment
in
the
city
currently
rents
for
over
twenty
three
hundred
dollars
per
month,
and
without
swift
and
coordinated
intervention
from
council
and
city
staff
they'll
be
even
less
affordable
to
people
of
modest
means
who
are
the
lifeblood
of
the
city's
vibrant
economy.
E
Thank
you
for
the
work
you
and
your
colleagues
and
city
staff
do
for
the
residents
in
bellevue
and
for
the
opportunity
to
provide
comment
this
evening,
and
please
know
that
hdc
is
an
eager
partner
for
council
for
staff
and
all
interested
parties,
as
we
collectively
work
to
meet
the
incredible
need
for
affordable
homes
in
the
city.
Thank
you.
B
R
You
dmr
robertson,
epidemic
and
city
council
members.
I
am
here
to
speak
about
our
support
for
the
city
to
continue
its
effort
regarding
a
cross-cultural
center.
First,
we
want
to
thank
the
city
staff
and
consulting
team
for
their
effort
on
the
feasibility
study.
We
appreciate
the
substantial
analysis
the
study
has
provided,
including
reinforcing
the
strong
desire
and
high
level
of
enthusiasm
within
the
community
for
such
a
center
that
focuses
on
cross-cultural
diversity,
equity
issues
and
others.
R
The
study
also
confirmed
constraints
at
existing
facilities,
public
or
private.
We
also
find
the
potential
site
development
opportunities
very
interesting,
very
informative,
and
we
appreciate
the
financial
and
operating
models
as
members
of
the
bellevue
community
with
diverse
backgrounds,
we
value
diversity
and
cross-cultural
understanding
and
integration.
Each
of
us
has
experienced
first-hand
barriers
to
share
our
cultures
with
the
whole
belgium
community.
Much
more
importantly,
our
nation
is
experienced
subdivision
across
race
and
culture
correspondingly
more
important
than
ever.
R
Our
nation
and
our
community
need
space
and
opportunities
for
people
to
come
together,
understand
each
other
and
heal
the
divide.
Among
us,
kobe
19
is
making
physical
gathering
difficult
for
now
over
time,
a
home
that
enables
empowers
sharing
and
understanding
across
culture,
race
and
so
much
more
will
bring
our
community
together
and
well
serve
outreach
and
beyond.
R
We
recommend
that
the
city
build
on
its
effort
made
in
the
past
several
years
about
this
cross-cultural
center.
Specifically,
we
recommend
that
the
city
move
forward
with
developing
conceptual
design
and
programming
options
for
an
extraordinary
cross-cultural
center
for
this
great
community,
and
the
outcome
will
inform
the
city
and
community
what
this
cross-cultural
center
looks
like
and
what
it
takes
to
develop
such
a
facility
with
sensible
programming.
R
B
Thank
you
for
your
comments,
the
that
reaches
the
end
of
our
list
of
sign.
Ups
mayor,
okay,.
A
Great
really
appreciate
all
the
communities
comments
tonight
now
we
have
the
report
of
our
city
manager,
mr
miyake.
S
Hey
mayor,
let
me
see
make
sure
I'm
unmuted
hey,
so
we
have
two
items
this
evening
to
report
on
the
first
one
is
on
the
status
status,
update
on
advancing
the
mayor's
pledge
on
reviewing
our
police
department
use
of
forest
policies,
as
was
referenced
in
some
of
the
comments
that
you
just
heard
about
this
in
their
own
oral
communications.
S
This
particular
update
has
been
included
in
your
meeting
packet.
As
you
may
recall,
I
provided
you
an
update
a
couple
weeks
ago,
informing
you
that
we
had
hired
the
office
of
independent
review.
We
often
reference
it
as
oir
to
assist
the
city
with
this
process.
I
also
mentioned
we
would
return
to
council
with
more
details
with
respect
to
that
to
the
process
joining
us
this
evening
is
nathan
mccommon
our
deputy
city
manager,
to
provide
you
with
that
update
nathan.
T
T
In
addition
to
the
policy
analysis
specifically
called
out
in
the
pledge
is
engagement
with
the
community
quote,
including
a
diverse
range
of
input,
experiences
and
stories
unquote,
led
again
by
the
consulting
team.
The
public
engagement
is
planned
to
begin
october,
13th
three
listing
sessions
of
one
hour
and
a
half
each
will
be
available
and
open
to
the
general
public
of
bellevue.
T
T
T
T
In
addition
to
english,
the
outreach
will
include
the
top
five
language
groups
in
bellevue
and
beginning
tonight.
We
extend
an
invitation
to
all
residents
of
bellevue
to
join
one
of
the
listening
forums.
Instructions
for
participation
will
be
provided
in
the
invitation
blast
to
the
public
that
will
launch
this
week.
T
S
Thank
you,
nathan,
mayor.
We
have
and
council
members
we
have
one
other
item
of
for
the
under
the
city
manager's
report
this
evening.
We
have
some
good
news
to
share
with
you
and
that
is
etv
recently
received
five
national
awards
joining
us
this
evening.
Is
kate
behrens
our
deputy
city
manager,
to
share
a
few
more
details
about
this
good
news,
kate,.
U
U
U
We
have
a
partnership
with
them
through
an
interlocal
agreement
that
allows
us
to
have
students
participate
in
creating
btv
and
and
creating
many
outreach
pieces
and
our
pieces
that
help
residents
remain
connected
with
the
city
and
what's
happening
now,
which,
as
we
are
seeing
today,
is
very
important
in
the
covid19
environment.
So
thank
you
to
the
college
for
their
support.
In
addition,
I
want
to
mention
staff
involved,
including
robin
steele,
who
manages
the
btv
team
ben
shahabi,
dave,
richardson
and
brad
harwood,
who
oversees
the
overall
communications
team.
Congratulations.
S
Thank
you,
kate,
mayor
that
and
council
members.
That
concludes
my
reports
for
this
evening.
A
A
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye,
they
opposed.
Okay.
Thank
you.
So
we
have
two
study
session
items
and,
mr
miyaki,
would
you
like
to
introduce
the
first
one.
S
Yes,
yes,
mayor.
Thank
you.
The
first
item
is
the
south
downtown
I-405
access
study.
This
again
is
information
that
was
provided
in
your
council
packets
this
weekend.
Just
by
way
background,
the
I-405
master
plan
was
developed
back
in
2002
and
that
plan
included
a
new
half
interchange
in
the
south
downtown
area
and
although
the
location,
exact
and
although
at
that
time,
the
exact
location,
exact
configuration
had
not
yet
determined.
S
The
purpose
of
the
study
that
I
referenced
this
evening
is
to
identify
the
preferred
alternative
that
will
position
the
city
to
receive
funding
when
opportunities
arise
and
to
help
inform
developers
within
the
study
area
what
it
to
expect
about
future
access
option.
S
This
was
before
the
council
and
was
scheduled
to
come
back
to
the
council
back
in
april
20th
of
2020,
but
due
to
covid.
The
meeting
on
this
particular
topic
could
not
come
back
given
the
opma
requirements.
Alternatively,
staff.
Brief
council
members
individually
back
in
late
april
in
early
may
and
following
the
briefings,
the
decision
was
made
to
initiate
the
study
and
return
to
council
later
for
a
midpoint
review
following
stakeholder
and
public
engagement.
That's
the
point
we
are
at
now
on
this
evening.
S
Staff
is
looking
for
confirmation
or
alternative
direction
on
our
staff
recommendation
to
carry
forward
these
the
alternatives
that
have
passed
the
fatal
fatal
flaw
screening
for
further
evaluation.
The
future
values
will
help
inform
council
selection
of
a
preferred
alternative
at
their
meeting
next
year
in
in
february.
2021
joining
us
this
evening
is
anderson,
galactus,
the
director
of
our
transportation
department,
as
well
as
the
engineering
manager
in
the
within
the
transportation
department
for
presentation.
G
Hey
thank
you,
city
manager,
miyaki
and
mayor
robinson
and
deputy
mayor
newman
house
and
the
city
council
and,
as
brad
said,
we're
here
tonight
to
seek
direction
from
the
council
to
carry
forward
alternatives
that
have
been
screened
through
a
fatal
flaw.
Screening
for
further
evaluation-
and
I
I
would
like
to
just
mention
as
well,
that
we've
got
paul
stevens,
the
assistant
director
of
transportation
president,
as
well
as
barrett
hanson,
the
design
manager
from
watchdog
and
carl
westby,
who
is
also
working
for
washtot.
G
The
project
is
important
right
now
for
for
two
reasons:
one
is
to
position
the
city
so
that
if
there
is
a
statewide
transportation
package,
we
would
have
an
alternative
that
could
be
considered,
but
the
second
part
of
it
is
really
giving
the
downtown
development
community
some
certainty
over
where
the
alternative
located
to
see
whether
or
not
there
have
been
you
know,
alternatives
that
have
been
precluded
by
development
and
also
just
let
everyone
know
where
the
future
project
would
be
and,
as
brad
said,
this
would
have
been
the
second
presentation
to
council
back
in
late
april
early
may.
G
We
could
not
meet
to
the
governor's
order.
We
briefed
the
council
individually
about
moving
forward
with
the
study
and
specifically
to
exclude
ramps
on
main
street
from
consideration.
G
The
reason
for
that
is
that
it
doesn't
meet
the
city's
policy
goals
for
main
street,
but
in
addition
to
that,
it
would
have
a
real
big
impact
on
the
east
main
landis
code.
Amendment
process.
G
You
would
have
put
that
on
hold
in
order
to
move
ahead
with
this
study
and
wait
until
we
get
to
this
point
now
before,
starting
that
and
there
was
a
desire
for
things
to
be
concurrent
and
tonight
we're
gonna
be
seeking
the
the
direction
on
carrying
forward
of
the
various
alternatives
and
with
that
we'll
actually
go
to
the
next
slide.
G
V
V
So
an
off
the
smaller
component
that
has
a
two
half
interchanges
in
downtown
bellevue.
The
northern
half
is
north
east
10th
street.
The
southern
half
is
somewhere
in
northeast
2nd
street
vicinity,
so
the
last
half
has
been
partially
completed.
As
you
know,
the
northbound
on-ramp
and
has
been
completed
in
2012
and
as
part
of
the
express
tournament
project,
the
main
street
bridge
need
to
be
reconstructed
watchdog
in
combin,
in
partnership
with
the
city.
V
V
So
we
are
about
at
the
midpoint,
and
I
wanted
a
tier
one
feed
off
a
lot
of
screening.
It
really
involves
the
three
aspects:
look
at
how
it
is
consistent
with
the
city's
plans
and
policies,
whether
it
conforms
to
federal
highway
and
washington
state
d.o.t
policies,
because
it
is
a
interstate
facility
we're
talking
about
accessing
to
and
then
we
look
at
the
constructability.
V
So
on
the
technical
analysis,
side,
that's
what
we
do
and
on
the
parallel
track
is
community
engagement.
We've
engaged
the
community
through
mainly
three
venues:
stakeholder
forms,
an
interest
group
and
public
open
houses.
V
So
wait
so
far.
We
have
had
three
stakeholder
forms
and
the
stakeholder
form
stakeholders
are
defined
identified
as
those
people
or
business
could
be
directly
impacted
by
this
potential
project
and
and
then
the
representatives
of
neighborhoods,
either
partially
or
completely
within
the
study
area.
So
the
five
neighborhoods
are
identified
and
their
representatives
have
been
invited
to
participate
to
stakeholder
forms.
V
V
V
V
The
comments
here
are
the
highlights
of
the
comments
that
we
heard
and
not
surprisingly,
each
alternatively
received
support
and
also
concerns,
and
that
we
need
to
consider
how
it
impacts,
bike
and
pedestrian
travels
and
also
transit
access,
and
some
even
suggest
that
we
shall
prioritize
non-motorized
improvements
over
vehicle
access
and
they
need
and
also
suggested,
that
we
incorporate
this
concept
with
the
other
city
initiatives
and
they
need
they
want
us
to
consider
induced
demand.
V
V
All
these
are
deemed
to
have
serious
issues
and
as
compared
to
the
current
cities,
policies
and
plans,
and
basically
they
have
expect
to
have
significant
impact
on
existing
114th
avenue
and
they
would
have
impact
on
transit,
oriented
development.
V
So,
for
these
reasons
they
are
recommend
to
be
dropped
and
then
several
options
on
the
southern
end
of
the
study
area.
One
is
extending
the
subject
straight
and
to
have
access
to
express
stonings
that
are
constructed
currently
under
construction
every
variation.
The
second
on
the
map
is
extending
the
saw
v6
instead
of
inside
connection,
this
one
to
have
outside
connection
to
software.
V
V
V
So
with
that
I'd
like
to
go
through
a
little
bit
more
detail
of
the
options
that
we
recommend
the
console
to
confirm
that
we
carry
forward
for
for
the
analysis
in
tier
two.
V
So
this
is
a
no
new
interchange
option,
as
required
by
and
federal
highway
and
washington
state
dlt.
Every
time
when
we
look
at
adding
new
access
to
interstate
facility,
we
have
to
make
sure
there
is
no
good
options
on
local
street
improvements
to
meet
that
demand
so
and
the
second
one
is
extending
the
north
east
second
straight
without
new
access
to
405.
V
This
is
to
provide
east-west
connection
to
relieve
current
and
future
congestion.
Nazis.
Fourth
avenue
straight
sorry,
and
then
this
one
is,
as
I
mentioned
before,
is
to
have
an
inside
connection
to
four
or
five
to
the
express
counting
by
extending
southeast
6th
street.
V
And
and
then
this
software
on-ramp
it
provide
additional
access,
four
or
five,
and
you
pass
with
the
current
existing
off-ramp
to
elections.
Connector.
V
Speaking
of
about
pedestrian
travel.
All
these
components
that
we
study
will
have
a
bike
and
pedestrian
components
and
for
the
purpose
of
just
showing
highlight
the
access.
So
those
details
are
not
shown
in
the
sketches,
so
we're
going
to
also
look
at
the
import
that
we
knew
of
these
alternative
impact,
potential
property
development
and
economic
development.
V
We're
going
to
look
at
how
they
are
consistent
or
confident
with
the
city
plans
and
policies
also
look
from
urban
design
aspect,
how
they
may
fit
in
with
the
city
division
and
we're
going
to
look
at
the
cost.
So
this
is
a
a
very
complicated
element.
It
includes
right
away
construction
impact
mitigation,
those
impacts,
including
wine,
land,
property
acquisition.
V
G
No,
I
think
you
you
hit
it
all
thanks.
Thank
you.
A
So
we
see
what
the
direction
is
that
you're
seeking
from
council
I'm
going
to
count
call
on
council
members
in
this
order,
and
I
want
to
encourage
you
to
please
keep
your
comments
down
to
three
minutes
and
if
we
need
to
have
another
round
of
comments
or
questions
we'll
do
that
as
much
as
we
need
to
so
we'll
start
with
councilmember
robertson
and
councilmember
zahn
lee
stokes,
barksdale,
deputy
mayor
newton
house
and
then
myself
so
councilmember
robertson.
Would
you
like
to
start
us
off.
P
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I've
been
very
excited
to
see
this
come
forward.
I
I
think
that
your
criteria
are
absolutely
right
on
and
I
think
that
the
ones
that
are
carried
forward
are
really
the
right
ones
to
carry
forward.
P
That
said,
I'm
a
little
skeptical
about
northeast
second,
because
it
doesn't
provide
access
to
405,
and
I
understand
that
it
also
affects
the
circulation
ability
of
people
using
114th
and
also
could
have
some
impacts
on
some
of
the
redevelopment
that
will
go
along
on
the
downtown
olb
zone.
So
I'd
be
curious
to
hear
what
my
colleagues
think
about
that
one,
but
I
I
want
to
see
access
my
preference
at
this
point
not
having
done
the
analysis
would
be
the
either
the
lake
hills
connector
or
that
combined
with
the
northeast
or
southeast
sixth
hov.
P
I
think
that
both
of
those
show
a
lot
of
promise,
I'd
love
to
see
if
they
can
be
combined.
The
other
thing
I
would
add
is
to
the
criteria
is
that
I
think
that
we
need
to
look
at
the
redevelopment
potential
of
properties
that
are
impacted
for
good
or
for
ill.
Maybe
these
are
going
to
make
wilburton
when
we
finally
do
the
rezone
there
really
unlock
and
sing,
or
maybe
it's
going
to
cut
down
some
ability
of
some
properties
to
redevelop
with
the
vision
that
the
city
council
has
set.
P
I
just
think
we
need
to
know
which
way.
The
other
criteria
I
would
like
to
have
us
look
at
is
the
impact
of
each
of
these
options
on
transit,
so
especially
405,
brt
and
other
rapid
transit.
I
think
that
if
there's
one
that
works
better
for
connectivity
to
get
people,
you
know
where
they
need
to
go
when
they
need
to
go
there.
P
We
should
know
that,
and
finally,
I
know
that
there's
folks
who
want
to
see
no
new
connectivity
added,
but
the
bike
and
ped
connectivity
is
important
here
and
also
it's
not
as
if
we
build
it
there
and
they
will
come,
they
are
coming
25
000
new
jobs
are
coming
to
downtown
bellevue
in
the
next
five
years,
making
sure
that
our
whole
system
works
really
well
is
really
important,
so
figuring
out
which
of
these
options,
including
the
no
build.
P
If
that's
the
way,
it
goes
works
best
to
help
us
get
people
in
and
out
of
downtown
in
a
very
efficient
manner.
That's
what
I
want
to
see.
So
I
really
appreciate
all
the
work
you've
done
to
date
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
having
you
come
back
in
about
three
or
four
more
months
and
give
us
some
more
data.
Thanks.
Thank.
C
One
is
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
we
are
including
the
no
build
option,
because
I
do
think
that,
in
any
analysis,
we
need
to
be
able
to
look
at
what
the
current
status
quo
is,
so
that
we,
if
nothing
else,
always
have
a
baseline
to
look
at,
and
I
think
that
when
we
look
at
our
all
of
our
options,
we
always
need
to
keep
in
mind
that,
based
on
what
we
have
today,
are
there
other
improvements
we
can
make
that
actually
create
the
system
and
the
flow
that
we're
looking
for
without
the
the
expense
and
the
costs.
C
The
other
one
is
that
I
absolutely
agree
that
we
need
to
make
sure
that
transit
is
working,
prioritizing
and
maintaining
access,
but
I
would
say
it's
more
than
that.
I
want
to
make
sure
that,
when
we're
looking
at
these,
that
we
really
do
have
vision
zero
in
mind,
because
we
have
had
several
fatalities
last
year
and
already,
I
believe,
a
couple
this
year.
So
as
we
look
at
these
options,
I'd
like
to
understand-
and
in
fact
in
the
evaluation
criteria-
I
don't
see
safety
on
the
list.
B
C
And
then
you
know,
I
also
didn't
see
on
there
and
I
believe
she
mean
when
we
had
the
briefing
you
talked
about
the
fact
that
the
evaluation
criteria
constructability
as
well
as
cost.
So
as
we
look
at
these
options,
there
may
be
some
that
are
going
to
be
a
lot
more
costly
to
design
and
build
than
other
options.
C
So
I
think
that
should
also
be
in
the
mix
and
then
also
timing.
So
my
sense
is
that
the
one
the
option
that
has
the
express
toll
lane
access
to
and
from
southeast
sixth,
if
that
project,
could
have
actually
been
incorporated
as
part
of
the
work
that
washdot
is
doing
already
with
the
design
build,
it
would
be
designed
and
built
a
little
more
economically
because
they're
already
in
that
area.
C
So
if
they're,
if
they
finish
the
express
toll
lanes
and
then
we
come
back
in
x
number
of
years
to
do
that
work,
does
their
alignment
actually
allow
the
access
in
that
we
are
envisioning,
because
if
there's
a
way
to
actually
incorporate
some
of
that,
we
don't
have
to
go
back
in
if
we
do
choose
that
option
and
have
to
demolish
a
bunch
of
infrastructure
that
was
just
built
by
washdot.
So
I
do
think
that
timing,
piece
and
and
alignment
is
important
to
consider
and
then
I
believe.
A
C
V
A
I
Oh,
thank
you
shimeen
for
doing
the
humans
work
on
coming
with
the
recommended
alternatives.
I
heard
a
lot
about.
You
know
bike
and
pedestrian
multimodal
approach,
but
sunday
to
me,
you
are
taking
that
into
consideration
and
when
evaluating
these
alternatives,
so
I
hope
that
you
know
those
evaluation
criteria
will
meet.
You
know
the
public's
demand
such
as
vision,
zero
and
other
stuff
right.
So
I
assume
that's
done.
Okay.
I
So
my
question
is
you
know,
I'm
no
expert
in
figuring
out
how
which
one
is
the
right
one.
You
guys
are
doing
the
job
you
guys
are
paid
to
do
it.
You
know,
I'm
not!
The
question
is
in
no
no
build
alternative.
That's
the
only
question
I
have.
I
understand
the
reason
for
you
need
to
compare
with
the
notebook
when
you're
making
analysis,
but
you
already
did
the
north
piece.
I
So
I
and
some
to
me,
based
on
your
presentation
right
at
the
beginning,
the
decision
has
been
made
already
either
you're
gonna
have
a
north
piece.
You
have
a
south
piece
right,
so
so
the
north
beach
has
already
done.
It's
already
begun.
It's
already
done
so.
I
I
So
if
you
chop
that
off,
which
is
the
new
no
build,
it
doesn't
make
sense
to
me.
So
unless
somehow
miraculous
say
you
can
fix
up
the
local
street
in
that
case,
why
didn't
we
do
with
the
north
species
or
whatever
we're
not
going
to
go
back?
I'm
just
saying
what
is
the
historical
context
that
we
have
to
re-look
at
the
south
piece
and
then
you
have
the
no
build
to
me.
Logically,
you
look
at
the
four
which
you
propose
and
see
which
one
would
meet
your
criteria.
G
The
the
no
build
alternative
is
a
requirement
of
the
federal
highway
administration
and
also
washington
state
department
of
transportation
to
in
order
to
look
at
a
baseline
and
to
figure
out.
You
know,
if
you
don't
do
anything
at
all.
Is
that
going
to
be
better
than
doing
something?
I
Okay,
but
hasn't
it
already
been
done
before
when
you
did
the
north
piece
or
sometimes
it
stays.
You
know
when
you
decide.
This
is
the
plan
they
already
said:
yeah,
that's
going
to
be
in
north
beach,
it's
going
to
be
southeast
and
the
northeast
is
already
moving
ahead.
So
how
can
the
south
p
say?
No,
you
don't
have
to
build
anything
well.
G
We
are
looking
somebody
made
a
decision,
so
project
alternatives,
and
so
when
you
do
look
at
a
variety
of
alternatives,
one
of
them
needs
to
be
the
no
build
as.
G
J
You
know,
I
agree
with
comments
my
colleagues
have
made.
I
I
certainly
understand
the
need
for
the
no
build
and
not
necessarily
inconsistent
with
the
south
end.
I
mean
the
north
end
one
of
the
concerns
I
had
looking
at
all
this
and
I
know
you've
taken
this
into
account,
but
you're
building
an
on-ramp
and
directing
traffic
into
a
street,
a
road
that
is
already
when
we
get
back
to
normal
traffic
really
jammed.
J
I
mean
I
live
over
in
woodridge
and
I
come
into
downtown
bellevue
and
I
come
up
the
connector
and
get
on
116th
and
if
anybody
knows
they've
tried
to
do
that
in
the
morning
and
particularly
in
the
evening
that
traffic
is
you
just
inch
along
and
people
on,
116th
and
getting
to
north
to
the
connector
are
not
going
to
405
they're
going
the
other
way
and
getting
around
to
I-5
and
and
all
that,
so
I
assume
you're
taking
that
into
account
the
impact
that
that's
going
to
have
on,
or
you
know
for
the
for
good
or
or
not
on
traffic
in
that
area
and
how
it
will
compound
that,
or
rather
you
know,
maybe
it'll
have
some
a
positive
effect
on
it.
J
But
I
I
don't
see
that
mention
at
all
and
I
think
that's
a
big
concern.
It's
not
as
if
you
can
just
easily
feed
traffic
onto
the
lake
hills,
connector
and
and
also
on
to,
unless
we're
talking
about
actually
doing
some
work
on
that
part
of
the
system
and
going
around
to
the
connector
and
also
going
on
you
know
through
the
other
side
of
woodridge.
That's
also
jammed
up.
J
So
the
capacity
on
those
roads
is
probably
at
a
maximum,
and
you
know
we
had
terrific
problems
with
people
diverting
through
woodridge
and
through
other
areas
in
in
the
past.
So
I'm
just
concerned
about
that
aspect
of
it
and
I
know
we
have
to
do
something
about
405,
but
I'm
hoping
we're
looking
at
some
other
things
that
will
actually
help
them.
That
and
the
other
question-
and
this
is
a
long
range
down
the
line,
but
I
assume
that
you're,
taking
into
account
the
potential
for
st3
coming
through
there.
J
I
know
you
have
this
blue
line,
so
any
of
the
construction
is
going
to
be
done
in
conjunction
with
and
taking
that
to
into
account.
I
would
would
hope-
and
I
know
you've
dealt
with
you.
The
questions
have
been
raised
by
the
public
and
I
think
have
some
good
answers
on
that.
I
think
it's
absolutely
something
we
have
to
do
and
I
don't
I.
J
I
really
agree
that
I
don't
think
a
no
build
option
is,
is
there
in
the
cards,
but
you
never
know
because
this
is
going
to
take
some
time
to
do
this,
but
I
think
the
the
main
goal
is
what
really
works
best
to
get
people
on
and
off
of
405
in
a
way
that
doesn't
just
overwhelm
a
neighborhood
and
keep
that
into
in
in
mind,
and
I
think
that
will
help
a
lot
but
good
work
and
it's
going
to
take
a
lot
of
work
to
get
this
done.
J
I
want
to
mention
that
I
think
that
the
outreach
you've
done
so
far
has
been
really
good
and
we
just
need
to
keep
that
up
as
well,
so
that
people
are
engaged
in
this
and
particularly
the
people
who
live
in
that
area.
J
That's
that's
where
I
live,
and
so
I'm
you
know
personally
concerned
about
that.
But
I
know
we
have
to
get
some
some
relief
for
405
and,
of
course,
if
we
don't
have
the
other
side
of
405
going
south
built,
this
is
all
going
to
be
kind
for
not
anyhow,
so
we're
hoping
that
that's
part
of
the
long
range
plan
as
well
but
great
work,
and
I
appreciate
the
the
way
you've
set
it
up.
I
think
you
have
good
alternatives
so
much
better
than
others
and
looking
forward
to
the
next
steps
of
this.
N
All
right,
thank
you,
mayor
and
thanks
to
the
staff
for
the
great
presentation
and
all
the
work
that
you've
done
so
far.
I
just
had
a
really
quick
question
in
terms
of
for
the
southeast
second
to
116.,
can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
how
the
wilburton.
N
G
We
have
the
funding
that
washdot
has
only
takes
it
to
116th
and
the
rest
of
it,
which
is,
I
think,
about
34
million
dollars.
We
take
it
all
the
way
over
to
120th
and
in
our
current
legislative
priorities.
It
talks
about
going
to
120th.
G
So
I
I
kind
of
see
it
as
the
question
I
have
is
going
to
be
phased,
I'm
not
sure
if
it
can
or
not
be
so
that
we
can
get
part
of
it
built
and
then
do
the
other
part
of
it
later.
So
I
I
would
say
that
at
this
point,
it's
it
hasn't
been
implemented.
What
happened
out
of
the
cic
process?
N
Right,
okay,
that's
the
only
question
I
had
thank
you.
A
L
Thank
you
mayor
and
thank
you
shumayne
for
the
presentation,
andrew
paula,
as
well
great
data
and
very
thoughtful
and
well
thought
out
in
terms
of
your
approach
here,
agree
and
appreciate
a
lot
of
the
comments
already
made
by
my
colleagues
so
I'll
echo,
some
of
them
here,
but
you
know
the
the
second
street
option.
I
have
to
agree
that
that
doesn't,
quite
you
know,
meet
the
purpose
of
tfp
197
and
the
the
goal
of
facilitating
that
access
to
the
405.
L
L
But
what
I
don't
have
concerns
about
is
your
thoughtful
multimodal
approach
really
happy
to
see
that
you're
prioritizing
the
pedestrian,
walking
biking,
riding
transit,
all
very
important
things
to
be
considered
as
part
of
this
as
part
of
that
tier
two
process,
it
does
sound
that
you're,
taking
into
consideration
the
the
the
property
or
the
surrounding
property
owners
the
competing
projects
or
projects
that
we
can
integrate
in,
which
have
been
discussed
here
a
couple
of
times
as
well,
very
important
to
be
able
to
coordinate,
be
it
in
a
washdot
city,
private,
no
matter
what
it
is
to
be
make
sure
that
we're
fully
aware
of
how
we
would
integrate
into
any
one
of
those
said
projects
question
regarding
the
community
engagement
and
with
the
stakeholders.
L
Would
the
tier
two
process
look
any
different,
or
are
you
just
going
back
to
the
same
initial
stakeholders
that
you
approached
or
worked
with?
Initially?
Maybe
if
you
could
speak
to
that
a
little
bit
because,
certainly
and
tier
two,
with
with
more
considerations
and
maybe
getting
into
the
weeds
a
little
bit
more,
would
be
great
if
you
had
a
a
wider
breadth
of
of
residents
and
and
stakeholders
that
you
might
be
approaching
and
speaking
to.
A
A
Okay,
so
I
I
think
we've
heard
some
really
good
comments.
You
know
this
is
an
adaptation
to
capacity,
and
you
know
it's
true.
We
have
was
it
25,
000
jobs
coming
to
bellevue,
but
then
again
there's
a
high
percentage
of
those
workers
that
will
be
taking
transit
or
not
driving.
A
So
it's
hard
to
know
exactly
what
the
impact
is
going
to
be
of
that,
and
yet
we
have
other
construction
going
on
in
bellevue
outside
of
those
25
000
jobs.
So
I
I
have
no
doubt
that
we
will
be
bringing
more
people
in
and
out
of
bellevue
and
how
best
we
do
it,
and
and
if
we
can
encourage
more
safe,
multimodal
travel
is
is
kind
of
my
goal
to
see
so,
whatever
decision
we
make,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
it
does
encourage
safe,
multimodal
travel.
A
C
Off
mayor,
I
I
would
say
that
my
the
my
other
colleagues
have
asked
questions
that
include
the
other
ones
that
I
was
thinking
about.
So
thank
you.
V
All
right,
the
first
question:
the
significance
has
to
do
with
the
southeast
sixth
straight
extension
inside
connection
to
express
toning.
I
like
this
is
a
very
good
question.
This
is
a
very
complex
one.
I'm
going
to
defer
to
barrett
from
washington
state
d.o.t
that
he's
the
design
manager
so
barrett.
Would
you
help
me.
Q
Problem,
I
think
it's
something
we
would
definitely
look
at.
Obviously
the
written
above
you
project
is
well
underway
and
going
through
the
design
process,
but
if
that
was
the
option
that
came
out,
that
was
a
preferred
alternative.
Then
it's
definitely
something
we
can
look
at
to
identify.
Is
there
any
widening
that
wouldn't
be
needed,
or
is
it
something
that
we
think
might
be
used
for
when
for
some
staging
construction
staging
when
this
project
were
to
go
to
build?
C
A
V
Okay,
the
last
question
that
I
have
is
but
north
east
10th
street,
and
that
has
been
partially
completed-
why
we
even
study
the
southern
end
if
a
decision
has
been
made
and
this
side
before
I
get
started,
I
need
to
thank
washington
for
being
flexible.
V
That
and
related
look
to
the
city
say
what
the
what
works,
the
best
for
the
satan
and
the
in
the
405
master
plan
and
the
initial
location
was
identified
at
north
east
2nd
street
and
keep
in
mind
that
the
plan
was
developed
18
years
ago
and
bellevue
has
changed
quite
a
bit
from
then
and
now
with
the
development
that
happened
in
the
last
18
years
and
planned
the
development
that
to
come,
things
have
really
changed,
and
this
begs
the
question:
what
impact
does
it
have?
Do
you
have
a
better
location
than
lossy?
Second
straight?
V
So
that's
what
this
study
is
about
to
figure
that
out-
and
you
know
what
the
northern
end
is
pretty
clear.
The
other
half
software
off
ramp
at
an
aussie
stance
is
just
waiting
for
funding.
V
So
I
want
to
again
thank
you
for
for
great
collaboration
with
the
city
that
working
with
us
to
identify
the
best
option
for
the
center.
So
with
that
and
kyle
do
you
have
anything
to
add.
O
Yeah,
I
think
you
summed
it
up
well,
the
original
plan
had
the
connection
at
second
street,
but
we
always
built
into
that
master
plan.
The
appropriate
flexibility
as
things
change,
to
take
a
step
back
and
look
at.
Is
there
a
better
spot
for
that
access
and
that's
the
exercise
that
we're
we're
in
right
now.
A
Okay,
so
I'm
going
to
take
it
through,
assuming
if
you're
done,
I
I
will
take
it
through
the
council
members
once
again
and
let
people
ask
any
more
questions
or
follow
up
so
starting
with-
and
please
I
remind
you,
keep
it
to
three
minutes,
please
so,
council
member
robertson.
P
Thanks,
no
good
good
conversation
very
much
just
a
couple
of
co
additional
comments.
After
listening
to
everyone
speak
one
vision:
zero
is
listed
in
the
packet,
it
wasn't
on
the
powerpoint,
but
it
is
listed
on
the
packet
so
number
two,
the
stream
and
wetland
impacts
here
they
are
listed
under
cost
consideration.
P
I
like
them
to
be
considered
for
more
than
just
the
cost,
because
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
sturdivant
creek
is
right
there.
We
want
to
that's
a
fish
bearing
stream,
so
it
may
cost
more
to
do
the
mitigation,
but
I'd
like
to
just
avoid
those
if
we
can,
because
it's
more
than
cost
finally,
just
to
clarify
what
I
was
saying
about
the
land
use.
P
So
I
think
that
that's
really
important
and
then
finally,
as
we
all
know,
main
street
interac,
on-ramps
and
off-ramps
are
no
longer
on
here,
and
I
think
that
that's
really
good,
because
main
street
is
going
to
be
the
pet
bike
connectivity
corridor
and
so
not
having
cars
getting
on
and
off.
There
will
make
that
corridor
that
much
safer
by
diverting
that
elsewhere
so
really
agree
with
a
lot
of
the
comments
my
colleagues
have
made
about.
P
You
know
making
sure
that
we
have
the
transit,
accessibility
etc,
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
the
study.
Thank
you
guys
all
for
your
excellent
work.
C
G
One
point
is
that
the
the
project's
not
funded,
and
so
we're
going
to
have
to
obtain
the
funding
for
it
and
the
timeline
from
that
remains
to
be
seen,
so
the
project
isn't
funded.
At
this
point,.
C
That
is
just
not
a
very
good
use
of
taxpayer
money.
So
that's
one
of
my
comments
there,
and
so
I
understand
and
then
to
clarify
on
these
options
for
the
ped
and
bike
network
is
the
intent
that
there
would
be
pet
and
bike
infrastructure
for
those
options
that
are
a
crossing
over
405
to
build
that
network,
or
was
the
ped
bike
actually
on
other
streets.
C
Okay
and
then,
lastly,
I'm
not
sure
if
we've
done
this
in
when
we've
looked
at
our
alternatives,
but
any
environmental
impact
and
really
giving
that
a
score
in
terms
of
that
criteria
to
better
understand
amongst
the
options.
What
are
those
long
and
short-term
impacts
related
to
our
environment,
especially
related
to
you
know?
We
have
our
esi
and
our
transportation
infrastructure.
Certainly
some
of
those
components.
A
I
will
come
back
to
council
member
lee
councilmember
stokes.
Thank.
I
You
my
questions
on
northeast
2nd
street
extension
to
wilburton
the
same
question
deputy
mayor
asked.
It
doesn't
connect
to
you,
know,
I-405.
I
At
yeah
yeah
was
it
because
well
maybe
I
made
assumptions:
is
it
because
that
was
the
first
potential
alternative
that
was
looked
at
way
back
when
the
master
plan
was
agreed
on?
Otherwise?
Why
would
that
be?
Why
would
that
make
the
cut,
as
you
wanted
to.
V
It
has
right.
O
F
G
It's
intended
to
be
combined
with
other
alternatives,
so
I
don't
see
it
being
a
stand-alone
project.
You
could
connect
it
with
the
lake
hills,
on-ramp
or
one
of
the
other
alternatives
that
we're
looking
at.
I
J
Yeah,
I
would,
I
would
just
think
the
same
thing
looking
at
southeast
I
mean
northeast.
Second,
I
think
that
is,
it
just
seems
to
be
a
little
different
here.
So
I'm
not
sure
we
need
to
waste
a
lot
of
time
on
that
one.
My
only
other
comment
wanted
to
make
her
just
emphasize.
J
I
appreciated
councilman
robertson's,
mentioning
this
and
a
couple
other
comments,
the
ecological
aspects
of
any
of
this
coming
around
sturdivant
creek
and
coming
down
to
the
connector
in
that
area
and
the
park
on
there's
just
a
lot
there
to
take
into
account
and
actually
the
neighborhoods
there
are
pretty
kind
of
freaked
out
about
the
sound
transit
coming
as
well.
J
So
I
think
that's
something
we
really
have
to
take
into
account
and
I
think
we
can.
We
can
do
that,
but
it's
it's
a
lot
more
difficult
to
put
a
ramp
in
this
area
than
it
was
on
the
north
side.
J
I
mean
we
cut
down
a
lot
of
trees,
but
there
were
just
buildings
there.
It's
not
the
same.
So
that's
a
big
concern,
so
I
hope
that
that's
one
of
the
primary
objectives
in
this
is
to
do
this.
In
a
very
sound
ecological
manner,
because
that
that
is
really
important
to
us
as
we
grow
bigger,
we
have
to
really
pay
more
attention
to
those
those
factors.
Otherwise,
I
think
it's
really
good
and
look
forward
to
seeing
the
progress
on
this.
Thank
you.
N
All
right,
thank
you.
No
further
questions,
but
I
do
support
moving
forward
with
four
alternatives.
Along
with
the
status
quo,
I
will
say
that
the
northeast
second
does
provide
some
connectivity
to
transit,
so
I
would
like
to
keep
it
and
consider
how
that
ties
in
with
the
other
alternatives
and
look
forward
to
a
preferred
alternative.
N
L
Yeah
again
great
conversation,
a
lot
of
great
questions,
and
I
appreciate
my
colleagues
comments
here.
My
my
first
question
wasn't
addressed,
however,
about
tier
two:
the
community
outreach
and
stakeholder
conversations.
How
is
that
gonna
look
different
in
in
tier
two
compared
to
tier
one
and
then
the
second
part
of
this
question
will
be
during
the
tier
one
process.
Did
you
already
see
stakeholders
and
community
members
gravitating
to
one
of
the
options
already.
V
Thank
you
yeah.
I
do
have
to
note
that
to
answer
your
question,
thank
you
and
in
the
second
tier
we're
going
to
engage
the
same
for
the
stakeholders,
we're
going
to
engage
the
same
group
for
continuity
and
also
and
identify
these
people.
We
have
anticipated
all
the
potential
and
business
owners.
The
residents
could
be
directly
impacted
by
one
or
more
of
the
options
that
we
are
studying
so
and
on
and
the
I'm
sorry
just
blank
cloud.
Only
the
second
part
of
your
question
is.
V
Oh
yeah,
and
they
you
know
they
obviously
or
each
alternative-
has
a
preference,
but
overall
they
like
the
alternative
and
the
southern
side
of
the
study
area
than
the
northern
side.
Okay,
fair
enough.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
Okay
and
I
I
have
no
further
questions
or
comments-
shuming
andrew
paula,
barrett
carl.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
presentation
and
your
time
tonight
and
we
look
forward
to
having
you
bring
these
back
with
your
assessments.
I
think
I
would
actually
like
to
do
a
vote
on
this
so
deputy
mayor.
Can
you
make
a
motion
on
option
number
one?
Please
certainly.
N
A
Thank
you,
okay,
mr
miyake,
would
you
like
to
introduce
the
second
study
session
item.
S
Sir,
thank
you
mayor.
This
next
study
session
item
is
one
that
has
been
the
council
has
been
waiting,
pacingly
for
and
that's
the
city
of
bellevue
cross-cultural
feasibility
study.
S
The
city
conducted
a
cross-cultural
programming,
public
outreach
study
and,
as
a
result
of
that,
were
council
directed
staff
to
conduct
a
feasibility
study
that
focused
on
potential
programming
options,
review
of
available
spaces
are,
and
a
review
of
a
variety
of
available
spaces.
Already
existent
tonight's
presentation
is
intended
to
share
the
findings
of
that
study.
S
We
also
have
some
additional
guests,
linda
chu,
vice
president
and
then
the
aubrey
urban
design,
principal
of
aecom,
who
did
the
report
this
evening
so
with
that?
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
you
kyle
for
further
presentation.
W
Thank
you,
city
manager
and
good
evening,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor,
newman
house,
members
of
the
city
council.
My
comments
will
be
brief.
Brad
gave
a
very
comprehensive
introduction,
but
before
I
turn
it
over
to
yuriana
to
fill
in
a
few
more
details
about
the
background
and
reorient
us
to
this
study,
I
I
actually
wanted
to
start
off
with
a
word
of
thanks
both
the
staff,
including
yuriana
and
and
the
team
that
she
had
supporting
her
as
well
as
our
consultants.
W
Just
for
a
bit
of
context.
You
know
we
were
here
in
front
of
you
back
in
may
of
last
year
and
got
direction
on
how
to
move
forward
and
that
that
led
to
an
rfp
which
then
led
to
a
second
rfp
to
find
the
right
consultants,
which
I'm
convinced
we
did.
W
All
of
that
means
that
our
kickoff
for
this
project
happened
the
middle
of
march,
and
if
you
can
remember
what
life
was
like
in
the
middle
of
march,
we
were
just
getting
used
to
seeing
each
other
on
screen
more
and
more,
and
I
remember
at
the
time
thinking
oh
yeah.
We
can
we'll
press
forward
on
this
project
and
it'll
probably
be
hard
for
the
first
month,
but
we'll
be
back
in
business
instead.
W
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
the
fact
that
the
the
people
you're
going
to
hear
from
tonight
have
really
fought
through
some
challenges,
including
trying
to
find
information
around
public
gathering
spaces
when
many
of
them
were
closed
and
data
was
hard
to
find,
but
we
really
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
had
good
data
to
inform
some
options
and
start
framing
how
this
project
would
work
forward
and
the
team
really
delivered.
So
again,
a
big
word
of
thanks
just
right
out
of
the
gate.
W
As
brad
noted
tonight's
presentation
is
for
information.
Only
the
consultants
have
met
with
a
number
of
stakeholders.
Now
they
want
to
hear
from
you
tonight.
Our
conversation
tonight
will
help
inform
the
finalization
of
a
final
draft
you've
seen
the
executive
summary
in
your
packet
and
also
I'm
hoping
that
the
conversation
will
just
further
refine
down
into
how
some
of
the
big
picture
thinking
around
what
a
cross-cultural
center
could
be
for.
M
Thank
you
kyle
good
evening,
mayor
lynn,
robinson,
deputy
mayor
newman
house
and
city
council
members.
It
is
really
an
honor
to
be
here
today
and
leading
this
project.
As
mentioned,
we
had
quite
an
interesting
start,
but
just
to
provide
some
brief
background
and
context
for
the
study.
M
X
Thank
you,
yuriana
and
good
evening,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor
new
in-house
council
members,
city
manager,
miyake.
I
I
feel
very
privileged
to
be
here
and
this
this
report,
this
assignment
truly,
was
a
pleasure
for
us
to
work
on.
We
work
on
a
lot
of
studies
around
the
country
and
both
the
quality
of
the
the
staff
that
we
interacted
with
in
the
city
of
bellevue
and
and
community
members
was
just
you
know,
really,
second,
to
none
and
and
such
a
project
that
has
so
much
need
at
this
point.
X
So
I'm
going
to
take
you
through
some
key
findings
and
kind
of
a
summary
of
our
research,
and
I
also
wanted
to
just
quickly
introduce
linda
abe,
who
is
our
irma
designer
on
this,
so
she
handled
the
physical
planning.
I
handled
the
economics
just
a
quick
introduction
to
aecom
at
least
our
little
tiny
part
of
aecom,
because
a
lot
of
people
think
of
aecom
as
an
engineering
firm,
we
are
an
integrated,
multi-disciplinary
firm.
The
group
that
I
work
in
the
economics
practice
actually
came
from
a
group
called
economics,
research
associates
or
era.
X
X
We
view
our
challenge
as
really
helping
policy
makers
measure
trade-offs
in
mission
versus
money
and
and
really
thinking
towards
building
sustainable
facilities,
because
we
know
that
public
agencies
have
a
lot
of
risk
when
it
comes
to
public
facilities,
especially
cultural
facilities,
and
you
know,
we've
worked
on
a
number
of
projects
even
recently
that
I
think
are
very
topical,
like
the
glbt
historical
society,
the
dallas
asian
american
cultural
center,
the
mexican
museum,
the
national
center
for
civil
and
human
rights,
several
chinatown
economic
development
strategies
and
other
ethnic
districts.
X
We've
also
worked
locally
on
the
space.
Needle
expansion,
chihuly
key
arena
and
linda
abe
has
done
quite
a
bit
of
planning
work
in
the
area
as
well,
both
for
bellevue
and
and
kind
of
around
the
area
working
on
the
microsoft.
N
X
So
so
I
just
wanted
to
go
through
kind
of
you
know
what
we
did
as
part
of
this.
You
know
we
really
were
kind
of
looking
at
four
major
questions.
So
the
first
one
is,
you
know
really
what
is
a
cross-cultural
center
and
why
is
it
needed?
And
so
we
did
a
whole
bunch
of
work
that
we
consider
that
sort
of
demand,
analysis
and
so
part
of
that
is
we
reviewed
studies.
We
did
a
lot
of
demographic
and
economic
analysis.
X
We
conducted
stakeholder
interviews
and
we
developed
a
program
that
we
can
use
for
analysis,
and
then
you
know.
The
second
question
is
you
know
what
facilities
are
currently
used
for
cross-cultural
activities?
We
might
consider
that
a
supply
analysis
so
really
looking
at
kind
of
what's
out
there
in
the
market.
What
is
the
sort
of
both
competitive
and
maybe
complementary
environment
look
like
and
then
we
looked
at.
You
know
what
site
opportunities
might
be
possible.
X
So,
first
we
identified
site
evaluation
criteria
very
broad
brush
at
this
stage
and
then
looked
at
you
know
possible
public
and
private
sites
and
then
did
a
broad
evaluation
of
these
sites
by
criteria
and
last
you
know
we
looked
at
you
know.
How
is
this
thing
going
to
work?
What
is
the
operating
model?
What
is
the
financial
model?
How
can
it
get
developed?
And
so
I'm
going
to
go
through
all
that
right
now
quickly?
X
So
what
is
a
cross-cultural
facility?
I
think
it's
really
important
to
get
some
terminology
to
just
kind
of
be
on
the
same
page
and
have
some
consistent
terminology
in
context.
So
really,
I
think,
a
cross-cultural
center,
you
know,
has
some
element
of
all
of
these,
so
you're
very
familiar
with
your
community
centers
that
are
city
run.
You
know
they
typically
offer
a
mix
of
community
programs
and
classes
and
recreation
as
well.
X
The
facilities
themselves
have
multi-purpose
spaces,
gyms
classroom
studios,
sometimes
much
more
specialized
recreational
kinds
of
facilities,
but
that
those
are
community
centers
and
then
performing
arts
centers.
I
think
we
all
understand
what
those
are
they're.
Typically
city
owned.
They
can
be
city
or
non-profit
operated,
you
know,
oftentimes,
they
involve
fixed
seats,
although
there
can
be
smaller
kind
of
black
box
theaters
as
well
in
exhibit
areas
cultural
centers.
You
know
when
you
look
at
those,
they
are
typically
run
by
nonprofit
organizations.
X
They
have
a
mission
statement,
a
very
strong
mission
statement,
mission
driven
and
they
are
typically
you
know.
Probably
95
of
cultural
centers
nationally
are
really
focused
on
the
experience
of
one
group
defined
by
race,
ethnicity,
gender,
identity,
sexual
orientation
are
another
characteristic
they're,
you
know,
and
they
typically
have
performance,
multi-purpose,
space
classrooms
and
exhibits,
and
so
then
we
get
to
kind
of
the
term
cross-cultural
multicultural
centers,
and
we
actually
you
know,
I
don't
think
we've
ever
done
a
study
specifically
for
a
cross-cultural
center.
X
So
we
really
want
to
understand
where
the
terminology
came
from.
It
actually
comes
from
the
college
campus
context,
very,
very
common
on
all
sorts
of
college
campuses,
including
community
colleges
and
universities,
and
but
it's
not
very
common
outside
of
this
and
typically
you
know,
there
are,
of
course,
many
organizations
that
provide
multicultural
programming,
and
this
is
part
of
their
mission
statement,
but
they're
rarely
tied
to
a
facility,
so
that
just
helps
us
when
we're
thinking
about
our
benchmarking
and
some
of
our
kind
of
examples.
X
So
we
did.
You
know
we
looked
at
the
demographics
and
economic
factors
in
bellevue
and
just
some
kind
of
key
takeaway
points.
Bellevue,
you
know.
I
think
this
is
part
of
the
need,
has
an
increasingly
diverse
population.
You
know
the
largest
majority
minority
population
in
washington,
increasing
percentage
of
foreign-born
residents,
the
younger
age,
demographic
is
more
diverse
and
even
within
racial
groups,
there's
significant
diversity.
X
You
know
you
have
some
factors
that
are
very
favorable
for
any
kind
of
cultural
attraction
or
cultural
facility,
and
so,
when
you
think
about
age,
income
and
education,
typically
higher
income
and
education
levels
are
associated
with
greater
participation,
attendance
and
financial
support,
of
course,
for
cultural
facilities.
X
So
that
is
very
favorable
as
your
income
and
education
levels
are,
you
know
much
higher
relative
to
the
region
and
state
and
nationally,
and
then
you
know,
there's
some
good.
You
know
positive
economic
trends
as
well.
You
have
a
strong
economy,
I
think
was
discussed
today,
fueled
by
kind
of
major
technology
companies
and
some
seattle
companies
moving
over.
You
have
the
workforce
that
is
interested
in
kind
of
a
downtown
residential,
and
so
these
provide
opportunities.
Also,
we
know
that
retail
is
going
to
face.
X
You
know
some
actually
pre
and
post
coveted
challenges,
and
while
that
is
certainly
you
know,
can
be
challenging.
Cultural
facilities
have
long
been
known
for
their
economic
impacts
and
ability
to
support
retail
and
also
increasingly
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
shopping.
Centers
looking
for
cultural
anchors
now
to
help
support
their
retail.
X
X
Looking
at
population
growth
and
kind
of
needs
and
using
you
know,
ratios
and
such
to
art
studies
and
to
everything
else,
and
of
course,
then
there
was
a
study
that
was
the
first
phase
of
our
work
and
I
just
wanted
to
summarize
some
of
the
key
findings
from
that
study.
X
So,
in
that
outreach
study,
86
percent
of
people
felt
that
bellevue
needs
a
multicultural
community
center
people
wanted
it
to
be
a
place
for
people
outside
of
their
ethnic
or
cultural
community
to
understand
values,
customs,
arts,
culture,
history,
a
goal
really
around
kind
of
increasing
knowledge
and
awareness,
particularly
with
historically
underrepresented
communities,
and
a
significant
interest
in
retaining
control
of
programming.
X
Of
course,
while
wanting
support
from
the
city
66,
you
know,
two-thirds
of
people
thought
that
there
should
be
kind
of
an
arts
and
arts
performance
and
practice
space
component
to
this,
but
many
other
people
also
talked
about
multi-general
multi-generational
activities,
gathering
space,
festivals,
diversity.
I
we
are
we're
very
careful
when
we
sort
of
read
these
surveys,
because
while
arts
and
performance
and
practice
space
is
something
specific,
we
always
point
out
that
multi-generational
activities
can
actually
be
a
park.
X
A
library
or
even
an
aquatic
center,
so
it's
not,
as
you
know
specific,
but
certainly
we
think
you
know
there
are
important
indicators
from
the
study.
You
know.
Other
studies
also,
I
think,
were
you
know,
had
relevant
findings
for
ours.
The
city
parks
and
open
space
plan
identified
a
need
for
another
community
center
with
a
recommendation
of
downtown
showing
some
demand
there.
X
X
So
we
talked
to
over
40
stakeholder
interviews
as
part
of
our
work.
We
did
conducted
over
40
stakeholder
interviews
with
a
mix
of
bellevue
staff,
nonprofits
school
district,
cultural
groups,
religious
organizations,
disability
organizations
and
all
kinds
of
community
members.
You
know
very
different
opinions
and
also
level
of
awareness
about
this
effort,
but,
generally
speaking,
we
found
there
was
strong
interest
and
enthusiasm
for
a
center
focused
on
diversity
and
equity
issues.
X
You
know
there
are
many
different
visions
experience
expressed,
so
some
people
thought
it
should
be
a
performing
arts
space.
Other
people
really
focused
on
just
kind
of
the
community
center
aspect
of
it,
and
you
know
other
people
also
had
different
visions,
non-profit
social
services
and
such,
but
there
was
significant
alignment
around
the
value
of
a
separately
branded
facility
rather
than
integrating
into
the
existing
community
centers.
And
that
was
a
question
that
we
were
specifically
asked
to
address.
X
There
was
also
alignment
around
the
idea
of
a
mission-driven
organization
with
a
cross-cultural
focus,
so
not
just
something
where
different
groups
from
individual
communities
come
and
perform
or
put
on
programming,
but
really
where
different
groups
are
interacting,
something
that
would
produce
its
own
programming.
X
In
addition
to
supporting
other
organizations,
programming
and
something
that
was
really
designed
and
operated
as
intentionally
welcomed,
all
people
in
communities
not
just
accessible
through
special
accommodations
and
a
lot
of
discussion
about
the
need
for
experienced
staff
with
the
appropriate
expertise
and-
and
there
was
a
lot
of
interest
in
partnering
or
utilizing
a
cross-cultural
center.
I
think
it's
very
hard
to
do
a
specific
demand
analysis
without
a
site,
because
demand
is
always
tied
to
site,
so
that
would
be
kind
of
a
next
step.
X
X
We
think
that
the
individual
program
elements
may
vary
as
time
goes
on
and,
as
your
planning
you
know,
goes
on,
it's
certainly
kind
of
an
iterative
process
with
sight
physical
planning
characteristics
and
demand
analysis,
but
we
think
this
is
certainly
kind
of
a
reasonable
footprint
to
plan
for
and
that
footprint
is
about
20
to
30
thousand
square
feet
with
a
midpoint
of
25
000..
X
Some
of
the
key
program
elements
include
multi-purpose
spaces,
everything
from
smaller
classrooms
to
large
event,
spaces
and
everything
in
between
one
thing
that
really
came
out
that's
different
than
a
typical
community
center
is
people
are
really
interested
in
kind
of
a
signature
exhibit
either
in
some
kind
of
an
immersive
or
multimedia
based,
exhibit
or
experience.
X
That
would
engage
people
in
the
history
of
diverse
communities
in
bellevue,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
examples
of
that
that
I
you
know
we
could
talk
about
in
the
q
a
if
you
wanted
to,
but
but
I
think
that
would
be
a
differentiating
factor
that
it
wouldn't
just
be
something
where
people
are
putting
on
programming,
but
there
actually
would
be
something:
that's
kind
of
fixed
there
for
people
to
to
see
and
then
performing
art
space,
and
I
think
this
is
something
we
have
included
in
the
program,
but
we
do
feel
it's
something
that
should
be
examined
in
the
context
of
performing
arts
needs
in
bellevue,
because
there
are
some,
you
know,
other
efforts
ongoing
and
then
amenities
right,
such
as
a
kitchen
shared
working
space.
X
You
know
one
of
the
things
that
we
get
asked
and
we've
gotten
asked.
I
think
a
few
times
in
each
presentation
is
what
about
the
current
code
context.
Here
we
are
in
the
middle
of
a
time
when
no
one
can
actually
be
in
person
where,
actually
you
know,
two
large
community
gatherings
are
sort
of
exactly
probably
going
to
be
the
last
thing
to
come
back,
and
you
know
what
what
we
think
is
that
this
is
actually
a
good
time
to
plan.
X
It
does
come
back
pretty
quickly
and
you
can
actually
see
that
happening
kind
of
around
the
country
as
well,
and
there
is
demand
for
kind
of
high
touch
in
addition
to
the
high
tech
experiences
that
we're
all
getting
very
used
to,
and
certainly
with
kind
of,
the
increasing
polarization
nationally
a
need
for
shared
experiences
that
can
help
to
build
a
mutual
understanding.
X
So
what
exists
in
the
market
today-
and
you
have
you-
know
the
bellevue
city
owned
and
operated
community
centers
and
then
there's
another.
There
are
a
number
of
other
kind
of
public
and
private
facilities
as
well,
and
I'm
going
to
go
through
these
quickly.
You
know
the
the
thing
I
will
say
about
some
of
these
other
facilities
and
kind
of
the
bottom
row
here
is
that
many
of
these
have
a
purpose.
X
X
X
X
So
we
did
do
some
research
on
you
know
the
existing
usage
utilization,
programming
and
financial
performance
and
size
of
this
bellevue
community
centers.
They
you
know
they
are,
I
will
say,
they're
very
well
run,
I
think
it's
a
strength.
They
are
very
highly
utilized
and
when
you
see
crossroads
at
85
percent,
we
don't
see
85
utilization
in
almost
anything,
that's
almost
impossible.
X
You
know,
high
utilization
is
like
60
in
most
facilities,
just
because
you
can't
use
it
all
times
of
day,
so
I
think
they
do
very
well
by
the
way
we
were
really
impressed
by
the
level
of
data
that
the
city
city
staff
are
able
to
put
together
on
these,
and
you
know
from
a
revenue
perspective
and
they
have
cost
recovery
somewhere
between
kind
of
30
and
40.
X
For
the
most
part-
and
you
know
they
all
range,
except
for
the
northwest
art
center,
which
is
you
know,
a
little
bit
different
between
about
15
and
30
000
square
feet.
Our
sense
is,
though,
you
know
they
are
very
busy.
They
also,
of
course,
have
a
focus
on
recreation
as
the
city's
park
and
recreation
facilities,
so
they
do
have
another
purpose.
X
X
We
think
the
ability
to
both
leverage
and
support
other
community
and
economic
development
goals
and
investments
is
very,
very
important.
So
again,
critical
mass
is
something
you're
going
to
a
theme
you'll
see
over
and
over
again
and
the
success
factors
for
cultural
facilities.
X
Site
area
needs
to
be
sufficient
to
accommodate
the
facility
and
parking
unless
parking
is
provided
on
site
somewhere
else.
You
know
complementary
surrounding
uses
again.
We
really
do
look
for
kind
of
a
critical
mass
of
activity,
so
restaurants,
retail
active
parts
just
other
community
nodes
of
activity
are
very
important.
Programmable
outdoor
space
is
something
that
is
very
much
in
keeping
with
kind
of
current
trends
and
then
just
you
know,
visibility
and
being
centrally
located,
and
we
do
not
think
that
starchitecture
is
important.
X
Typically,
we
always
say
build
a
building
from
the
inside
out,
and
so
we
looked
at
a
number
of
site
opportunities
in
downtown
in
wilberton
in
bellredde
and
then
in
some
other
areas,
and
you
know
we
can
discuss
those
further,
but
you
know
we
think
they
all.
There
are
opportunities
in
all
of
those
areas.
It
depends,
I
think,
how
some
of
the
plans
progress,
and
then
we
looked
at
the
financial
model.
So
really
what
is
a
financial
model
for
a
cross-cultural
facility?
X
X
This
is
a
reasonable
budget,
I
will
say
they
can
be
higher,
but
you
know
we
think
this
is
reasonable
for
planning
purposes
and
they
can
vary
based
upon
specific
visitor
experiences,
programming,
the
operating
governance
model,
the
location,
other
kinds
of
physical
characteristics
and
then
mission
related
decisions
about
equity
or
affordability.
Sometimes,
cities
make
choices
to
cap,
their
earned
revenue
that
they'll
get
for
mission
purposes.
X
So
but
typically
you
know
an
operating
budget
for
something
of
this
size
would
be
around
1.2
million,
or
so
the
facilities
should
be
able
to
generate
given
our
research
somewhere
around
35
percent
earned
income
30
to
40
percent,
with
resulting
earned
income
of
465
000
and
a
required
contributed
income
of
770
000
or
so
call
it
700
800
000..
Now
that
is
something
that
can
come
from.
You
know,
city,
subsidy
or
it
can
come
from
foundations,
corporations
individual
contributors.
It
really
depends
on
the
model.
X
So
what
are
possible
operating
models?
You
know:
we've
seen
everything
from
city
run
city
owned
and
operated
to
a
hybrid
model
where
the
city
typically
owns
it,
and
maybe
has
some
role
in
operations,
governance
or
funding,
but
there's
a
non-profit
organization
that
also
is
managing
and
usually
providing
programming
to
non-profit
operating.
You
know
operated
now.
All
of
these
have
strengths
and
challenges,
and
we've
gone
through
these.
X
I
think
you've
had
this
in
your
packet,
so
I'm
happy
to
address
any
of
these
kind
of
specific
models
in
more
detail
in
the
q,
a
if
you'd
like
to,
but,
generally
speaking,
you
know
the
city's
risk
sort
of
varies.
I
will
say
even
in
the
nonprofit
model,
the
city
has
risk,
and
you
know
the
study
we
don't
want
to
do
is
the
one
where
you're
coming
back
to
us
to
ask
what
didn't
work
and
how
you
know
why
something's
not
working.
X
So
it
is
important
to
really
look
at
the
metrics
up
front
and
then
there's
a
lot
of
development
models
as
well
for
cross-cultural
facilities
for
cultural
attractions,
and
you
know
everything
from
just
publicly
financing
it
and
developing
it.
I
mean
that
is
very
straightforward,
although
it
certainly,
you
know,
puts
again
the
brunt
of
the
financing
on
the
city
and
sometimes
you
don't
have
as
much
community
ownership,
and
then
you
have
kind
of
the
community
nonprofit
developed,
which
you
know
the
city
may
contribute
a
little
bit
to.
X
But
typically
the
onus
at
that
point
is
on
the
nonprofit.
There
are
challenges
there
and
those
can
be
very,
very
lengthy
and
often
you
know,
tie
up
land
for
long
periods
of
time.
Public
private
joint
development
is
something
you
know,
and
we
have
to
be
careful
when
we
talk
about
public
private
development
and
and
partnerships.
X
You
know
there
is
not
extra
revenue
in
a
cultural
facility
model
right.
So
there's
not
like
an
upstream
revenue
that
comes
later
on
or
anything,
and
so
basically,
when
we
say
public
private,
it's
typically
a
non-profit
involved.
Sometimes
there's
corporate
dollars
there's
a
foundation
sometimes
occasionally
there
can
be
a
private
developer
that
provides
the
space
the
shell
and
then
the
city
comes
in
and
provides
some
funding
and
a
non-profit
comes
in.
You
know
that
that
can
happen
too.
X
It
can
be
complex
and
then
there
is,
you
know
a
rental
model
too,
where
you
just
rent
space.
You
know
again,
we
are
seeing
that
happen,
sometimes
now
with
shopping
centers
that
are
really
looking
for
different
kinds
of
anchors
that
will
attract
people
to
support
the
retail,
and
so
you
know
key
findings.
This
basically
highlights
kind
of
everything
I've
talked
about.
I
think
the
key
points
are
you
know
there
there
there
is
some.
You
know
strong
interest
and
enthusiasm,
and
I
think
I
would
say
there
is
demand.
X
X
I
will
add
that
that
adds
a
cost
and
that
is
kind
of
a
separate
cost,
from
building
a
facility
and
from
typical
kind
of
ffme,
and
then
you
know
where
we
think
there's
a
number
of
sites,
but
we
are
pretty
clear
about
some
of
the
criteria
and
then
you
know
again
financial
model
somewhere
between
one
and
one
point:
five
million
thirty
to
forty
percent
earned
revenue
requiring
an
annual
subsidy
of
seven
hundred
to
eight
hundred
thousand
with
you
know,
multiple
operating
models
and
development
models.
X
You
know
what
else
the
other
things
that
we
really
noticed
were.
We
think
this
project
needs
some
proponents
and
champions
and
and
a
small
kind
of
organizing
group
of
leaders
that
represent
the
city
community
stakeholders
in
the
corporate
sector,
a
small
group
that
can
really
sort
of
be
the
decision-making
body
for
this
engage
the
community
and
help
kind
of
move
this
forward.
X
We
also
notice,
you
know
there
is
a
need
for
public
support
for
capacity
building
for
non-profit
cultural
organizations
in
bellevue.
It's
quite
common.
Actually,
we've
seen
it
a
lot
lately
where
non-profit
organizations
and
cultural
organizations
are
starting
to
grow
in.
You
know
outside
of
what
was
traditionally
kind
of
a
large
city,
and
so
with
you
know,
with
all
the
employment
and
we,
as
we
see
employment,
start
to
grow
into
what
we're
previously
suburban
communities.
X
We
also
see
demand
for
cultural
facilities
and
with
that
comes
a
need
for
additional
capacity
building
for
some
of
these
organizations,
and
sometimes
that
lags
behind.
That's
that's
very
common,
and
then
you
know.
Finally,
there
are
many
developments
and
planning
efforts
that
we
came
across
as
we
did
our
study
that
we
think
provide
some
opportunities,
but
definitely
would
require
a
different
level
of
coordination.
W
And
with
that,
thank
you
very
much
linda
and
again
reflects
all
your
great
work
mayor.
We
are
we're
completed
with
our
presentation.
I
would
just
reiterate
again
our
ask
tonight:
this
was
for
information.
Only
no
no
decisions
coming
out
tonight,
but
the
feedback
and
and
guidance
will
will
be
helpful
as
we
we
finish
up
the
report
and
certainly,
if
there's
any
questions
that
would
help
in
that
feedback,
we
will
do
our
best
answer.
A
Okay,
thank
you
so
much
great
presentation,
so
I'll
ask
in
this
order:
councilmember
lee
barksdale
deputy
mayor
noon,
house
councilmember,
stokes,
robertson's
on
and
then
me,
and
if
we
could
keep
our
comments
to
three
minutes,
that
would
be
great.
Let's
start
with
councilmember
lee.
I
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
This
is
a
great
presentation,
even
though
you
know
we
had
some
roadblocks
along
the
way
it's
taken
a
few
years
and
but
I'm
very
impressed,
and
surprisingly
so,
in
the
short
time
of
mid-march
to
now,
they
have
produced
a
great
report,
and
this,
I
think,
also
kudo
for
the
city
staff
that
are
able
to
work
with
the
consultant,
providing
the
support,
information
and
the
background.
I
I
Since
you
know
it
hasn't
really
been
been
moving
along
that
that
that
fast,
so,
especially
after
listening
to
the
presentation
today
by
linda,
linda
chu,
she
added
a
lot
more
specific
information
and
insight
in
you
know
in
this
project,
and
I
think
you
know
given
the
short
time
they
did
interviewing
40
stakeholders.
I
You
know
I
think
it's
still
very
limited
in
terms
of
specifically
understanding
what
can
be
done.
What
is
the
potential,
but
I
think
she
laid
out
a
myriad
of
possibilities.
I
So
what
we're
gonna
do
really
depends
on
more
information,
she's
laid
out
a
great
great
framework,
a
great
great
framework,
and
I
think
we
just
need
to
be
serious
about
it,
and
I
think
we
just
heard
it's
proven.
I
am,
I
think
she
has.
The
study
proven
that
86
percent
of
people
support
this,
and
I
believe
it
is
there.
I
So
the
question
is:
how
are
we
going
to
put
more
information
more
flash
on
the
bones
so
that
we
can
start
looking
at
some
of
the
realities,
the
real
alternatives,
possibilities
and-
and
I
was
surprised
too,
that
you
know
very-
not
many
cities
around
the
country
or
organizations
that
have
similar
kind
of
so-called
cross-culture.
The
key
word
to
me:
it's
very
important
that
shows
their
understanding
of
what
the
mission
is.
The
goal
is
it's
capacity
building
it's
bringing
people
different
cultures
together
being
unified
being
unit
being
working
together.
M
I
Heard
the
word
polarization
included
in
one
of
the
pieces
of
presentation,
and
we
want
to
overcome
that
we
have
a
great
great
community.
All
of
you,
people
are
in
position.
We
can
make
that
happen,
so
I
hope
that
it
gives
us
a
console,
a
real
piece
of
foundation,
basis
to
have
something
we
can
fight
on.
We
can
discuss
and
we
can
take
it
for
real
and
move
forward.
I
Otherwise
we
wasted
a
wonderful
piece
of
work,
so
I
I
hope
that
after
our
conversation,
we
the
city
council
and
take
this
as
an
opportunity
to
do
next
step
to
continue
moving
forward,
continue
to
have
people
like
econ
consultants
and
others
to
give
us
more
information
more
realistic
and
substance
that
we
can
work
out,
because
I
believe
the
partners,
you
know,
I
don't
know
what
all
the
40
stakeholders,
but
I
believe
she
mentioned
businesses,
developers,
individuals.
N
All
right,
thank
you,
mayor.
Thanks
to
staff
and
contract
consultants,
for
the
great
work
that
you
all
did
appreciate
the
work.
I
think
there
are
a
lot
of
benefits
to
having
a
multicultural
center.
I
guess
I'm
curious:
how
does
this
complement
or
sit
relative
to
having
more
distributed
cultural
spaces
throughout
the
throughout
the
city?.
W
It's
a
that's
a
great
question
and
I
think
there's
a
good
strategic
question
in
that,
too,
is
as
we
invest.
How
do
we
want
it
to
be,
and
I
think
there's
some
within
the
range
of
options
presented
that
might
speak
to
some
of
the
potential
partnerships
of?
W
Is
there
an
ability
to
partner
with
with
groups
that
could
help
spread
out
spread
out
things,
but
I
think
that
the
heart
of
this,
too,
is
still
getting
to
that
idea
of
of
how
much
of
it
is
programming
and
how
much
of
it
is
the
space
and
trying
to
bring
those
two
things
together.
So
I
think
that
is
an
absolutely
great
question.
As
we
look
at
the
distribution
of
where
are
the
opportunities
to
to
have
cross-cultural
events
across
the
city,
we
should
look
at
that,
and
also
leverage
where
are
the
realizing.
W
N
Yeah,
absolutely
you
know
just
want
to
make
sure
that
folks
have
access.
We
comment.
We
often
talk
about
the
15-minute
city
right,
so
everything
is
sort
of
done
at
15
minutes
from
where
you
are
so.
I
like
this
idea,
I'd
like
to
also
think
about
how
we
can
spread
this
out
throughout
the
study
as
well.
Okay,
thank
you.
L
Thank
you
mayor
and
thank
you
councilmember
lee
for
championing
this.
Clearly
there
is
a
desire
and
an
initial
interest
for
such
a
center,
and
I
appreciate
councilmember
lee
pushing
this
along
and
his
enthusiasm
for
such
a
center.
I
also
want
to
thank
the
consultants
here,
both
the
lindas
and
ariana.
Thank
you
for
this
great
presentation.
L
I
wanted
to
hone
in
linda
on
one
thing
that
you
had
mentioned
that
and
excuse
me
if
I
got
it
wrong,
but
I
think
you
said
you
had
not
worked
on
a
project
specifically
for
a
cross-cultural
center,
so
on
your
expertise
or
experience.
So
are
there
cross-cultural
centers
like
what
we're
talking
about
here?
Are
there
many
across
the
country?
And
if
so,
what
does
it
look
like
in
terms
of
of
success
and
the
types
of
programs
that
they
have
and
then
the
second
part
of
it
is?
L
Is
there
more,
it
sounds
like
there's
more
groups
or
not
groups
per
se,
but
more
centers.
That
are
more
specific
in
terms
of,
I
think
again,
one
of
your
examples
of
an
asian
american
cultural
center
or
a
chinese
american
cultural
center.
So
if
you
could
speak
to
that
a
little
bit,
that
would
be
great.
X
Okay,
you're
right,
so
I
don't
we,
I
don't.
You
know
what
I
was
trying
to
think.
I
don't
think.
We've
ever
quite
done
something
like
this,
where
the
intent
is
really
to
be
cross-cultural,
and-
and
I
think
you
know
what
that
means-
is
a
couple
things
one
is.
You
still
have
plenty
of
benchmarks
to
look
at
in
terms
of
you
know
some
of
the
operational
and
financial
characteristics
right.
I
think
cultural
centers
still
kind
of
you
know
and
cultural
attractions.
X
I
will
say,
cultural
facilities
of
all
types
operate
very
similarly
in
terms
of
financial
profile,
business
model
and
and
there's
actually
a
wide
range,
and
we've
done
a
lot
of
those.
You
know
I
do
think
it's
it's
interesting.
As
I
mentioned,
you
know
where
you
see
a
lot
of
multicultural,
centers
and
and
cross-cultural
centers
is
really
on
college
campuses.
The
university
of
washington
has
one
for
example,
and
so
you
really
see
it
there.
X
I
I
think
what
it
means
is
that
there
is
an
additional
challenge
of
getting
a
number
of
groups
to
work
together.
Now
that
happens
anyway
with
cultural
centers
performing
arts
centers,
even
museums
that
happens
anyway
right
trying
to
coordinate
seven
different
resident
tenants
right
for
performing
arts
center.
But
I
think
what
it
means
is
that
there's
some
work
to
do
in
terms
of
building
a
sense
of
ownership
and
stakeholders
for
this,
because
I
think
the
community
needs
to
see
it
as
its
own
right.
L
Very
good,
very
good.
Thank
you
for
that,
and
also
just
touching
your
expertise
here
again
because
on
the
presentation,
there's
a
lot
of
overlapping
programming
that
other
facilities
or
other
groups
do
as
well.
So,
in
your
experience,
what
we've
seen
in
other
cities?
Does
that
like
enhance
the
overall,
let's
say
performing
arts,
for
example?
Does
that
enhance
the
overall
performing
arts?
L
X
That's
a
big
question,
but
it's
probably
a
little
bit
of
both
to
be
honest,
and
I
think
that
you
know
a
nice
new
facility
with
great
space
can
do
a
lot
to
support
to
help
other
cultural
organizations
and
nonprofits
build
up
their
audiences,
develop
their
audiences
developer
and
revenue
and
become
more
stable.
X
On
the
other
hand,
this
new
nonprofit
will
also
take
funding
and
require
funding
and
may
be
competing
with
some
of
the
same
foundations
and
corporations.
You
know
for
funding,
but
I
I
like
to
think
you
know
there
is.
It
is
a
big
pie
of
funding,
even
though
I
mean
it
seems
like
it's
been
twitter
link
during
covid,
but
you
know
there
is
funding
available
and
I
think
you
know,
generally
speaking,
these
sorts
of
projects
can
actually,
I
think,
support
other
kinds
of
cultural
facilities,
cultural
organizations
in
their
development.
A
All
right,
councilmember,
stokes.
J
Yeah,
thank
you
very
much.
This
is.
It's
really
really
fascinating
and
amazing.
How
much
you
put
together
in
the
time
period
a
couple
of
questions
one
on
the
86
percent
approve
of
this?
What's
the
what's
the
number
of
people
that
were
involved
in
this,
what
is
otherwise
how
many
people
make
up
the
86
percent?
Was
this
a
broad
group
or
just
a
the
40
different
contacts.
M
And
cover
this
question
we
did.
This
is
from
the
first
phase
of
the
study
and
we
had
443
participants
participate
in
a
survey
and
additionally,
we
had
over
120
community
members,
come
together
in
a
community
forum.
J
J
Survey,
yeah,
that's
good.
The
other
thing
is,
is
we've
we've
been
talking
about
this
for
some
time
back
and
forth.
I
noticed
when
you
begin
this.
You
talked
about
cross-cultural
facilities
with
an
s
and
you
seem
to
have
as
you've
gone
through
this
focus
on
a
one
building
or
one
place
to
some
extent,
but
I
noticed
on
page
18
of
the
or
16
of
your
report.
J
You
talked
about
some
of
its
existing
supply
and
facilities
and
all-
and
there
are
quite
a
number
here-
and
you
also
talk
about
well-
the
performing
arts
meeting
facilities
and
all
their
five
six
there
and
then
churches,
schools
and
all,
and
then
you
propose
your
future
facilities.
You
have
pace
the
city
aquatic
center,
we're
working
on
in
the
playoffs
at
cloudview
development,
which
is
a
smaller
facility
and
I'll
talk
about
that
earth
in
a
minute
comment.
J
But
I
I
hope
that
you're,
not
just
incl,
focusing
on
building
a
building
one
building
somewhere
in
bellevue
and
we've
talked
about
this
a
lot
and
one
of
the
things
we're
finding
and
looking
at
and
I'm
the
liaison
for
the
arts,
commission
and
I've
been
working
on
and
supporting
pace
for
a
long
time,
and
I
think
that's
run
its
course.
I'm
not
sure,
what's
going
to
happen
to
that,
but
we
do
have.
J
The
concept,
then
is,
is
to
have
multiple
centers
and
we
do
have
an
organization
in
bellevue
that
is
engaged
now
called
easthub
dardarg,
and
we
actually
are
working
with
him
in
this
people
in
the
city
with
ray
columbus,
the
the
executive
director
and
worked
with
pace
originally,
and
I
think
it's
the
and
they
are
working
they're,
the
ones
who
are
actually
working
with
the
playhouse
at
cloudview
to
operate
that
and
I
would
like
I
would
hope
you
would
take
a
look
at
this
as
how
do
we?
J
How
do
we
actually
encourage
and
have
larger
and
smaller
places,
because
our
community
is
very
it's
growing
and
actually
anything
we
do
here
is
is
tends
to
be
a
regional
facility
as
well,
so
you're
gonna
bring
people
in
you
know
the
boundaries
are
pretty
artificial,
so
it's
not
just
bellevue
and
the
other
factor
and
I'd
like
you
know,
to
look
at
that
and
take
that
into
account.
That's
something
already
happening,
and
there
is
the
other
factor
of
of
competition
pace.
The
performing
arts
center
eastside
is
still
working
on
building
their.
J
You
know,
orchestra
and
and
facility,
and
everything
and
it's
the
aquatic
center
is
something
we're
working
on.
That's
a
big
big,
big
piece:
there
are
other
and
their
parks
and
recreation
facilities,
they're
places
that
we
don't
have
them.
So
there
are
a
lot
of
competing.
J
P
I
agree
with
a
lot
of
books:
councilmember
stokes,
that
I
you
know
we
do.
We
do
have
and
want
to
have
all
of
our
public
facilities
host
events
from
all
different.
I
mean
I've
been
in
the
north
belvedere
community
center
for
garba,
which
is
an
indian
dance
and
we
have
holy
down
in
the
downtown
bar
the
ukrainian
festival.
I
mean
we
have
a
lot
of
things
everywhere,
but
it
doesn't
mean
that
we
don't
want
them
also
to
have
a
home
base
and
then
satellite
elsewhere.
P
So
I
love
the
idea
of
the
cross-cultural
center
because
we
are
a
cross-cultural
city
so,
and
I
also
want
to
echo
council
member
new
house
thanks
to
councilmember
lee,
because
conrad
you've
been
pushing
this
for
a
long
time
and
we're
getting
there.
So
thank
you
for
your
steadfast
support.
I'm
really
excited
about
this,
so
I
have
a
couple
of
questions
and
then
some
comments.
So
first
I
know
that
your
report
said
that
we
are
short
one
community
center.
P
However,
when
I
joined
the
council
in
2009,
we
were
short
one
community
center
and
we
had
120
000
people.
Then
we
have
150
000
people
now.
So
I
think,
we're
probably
short
to
community
centers.
So
what
is
the
actual
number
for
level
of
service
for
community
centers?
That
bellevue
has
set
as
our
goal.
W
I
think
I
think
this
is
one
of
the
times
where,
by
having
diversity,
lead
this
this
effort,
we're
gonna,
have
to
follow
up
with
you
on
that
for
an
answer.
We
need
to
talk
to
parks
and
let
them
let
them
share
their
expertise.
On
that
question.
P
P
So
my
questions-
and
I
don't
know
this
can
be
answered
in
the
final
report-
is
whether
this
would
be
something
that
would
be
appropriately
combined
with
another
type
of
city
facility
like
an
aquatic
center
or
whatnot,
or
we
expand
the
arts
center
up.
You
know
in
north
bellevue.
Secondly,
I
definitely
think
we
need
to
be
looking
at
city
owned
property.
For
this
to
me,
the
two
that
jump
out
at
me
most
is
the
lincoln
center
site
on
116th
and
ashford
park.
P
Ashford
park
has
been
planned
for
community
center
for
a
long
time.
I'm
not
parks
board
liaison
anymore,
but
I
know
that
we're
going
to
be
redoing
that
master
plan
that
might
be
an
excellent
location.
It's
right,
nestled
in
there
between
the
king,
county,
maine
library
and
kids
quest
museum.
So
it
could
be
an
excellent
location
with
a
lot.
You
know
bringing
a
lot
of
activity,
that's
good
activity
to
that
area.
Finally,
I
since
wilberton,
is
one
of
the
areas
that
we're
thinking
about
this
I
this
would.
This
is
more
for
my
council
colleagues.
P
We
might
want
to
think
about
having
an
incentive
when
we
update
the
land
use
code
in
wilberton
for
a
multicultural
or
cross-cultural
center
as
something
that
we
can
get
a
super
bonus,
for.
That
would
be
another
way
to
do
it
where
it
can
go
on
private
property
with
a
public
purpose.
We've
had
really
great
success
with
public
private
partnerships
in
the
past,
and
this
could
be
an
opportunity
for
another
one.
Thank
you.
C
On
yes,
thank
you
mayor,
I'm
super
excited
about
this
as
well,
so
thank
you,
yuriyana,
linda
and
linda
for
this
amazing
report
in
such
a
short
period
of
time,
and
I
think
councilmember
lee
for
his
diligence
to
keep
pushing
on
this
and
the
thing
that
struck
me.
The
most
was
what
you
said
about
space
for
shared
immersive
experience
and
also
a
place.
That's
welcoming
to
all
people,
because
I
do
think
that
those
are
some
really
important
vision
and
pillars
that
we
have
in
our
in
our
city.
C
And
so
as
we
look
at
this
model-
and
I
also
agree
with
my
fellow
council
members
about
you
know
really:
it's
not
just
this
one
place
right
that
we
do
have
this
hub
and
spoke
and
it
should
be
throughout
the
city,
because,
while
I
agree
with
the
fact
that
we
should
look
at
our
city-owned
property
because
that's
the
easiest
to
obtain,
I'm
I'm
also
struck
by
when
I
look
at
the
map
between
south
bellevue
community
center
and
crossroads,
there's
nothing
so
there's
a
whole
community
that
does
not
have
a
community
center.
C
So
as
we
look
at
this,
you
know,
I
know
that
we're
looking
at
bellevue
college
potentially
for
the
aquatic
center,
but
you
know
maybe
that
that's
also
a
place
we
could
look
at
for
a
multicultural
center.
C
But
I
I
guess
I'm
what
I'm
saying
is,
while
I
understand
and
and
appreciate,
citing
something
on
the
the
transit
I'm
also
struck
by
when
I
look
at
the
map
where
the
desert
is
from
the
standpoint
of
a
community
center
as
well,
so
maybe
not
for
this,
but
we
need
to
then
holistically
think
about
how
to
make
sure
that
the
the
east
bellevue
community
also
has
a
community
gathering
place
and-
and
I
would
say
when
I
think
about
partnerships-
you
know-
I
also
think
about
eastside
for
all-
has
had
the
concept
of
a
third
space.
C
That's
a
welcoming
multicultural
space.
So
I
think
that
they
would
be
a
really
good
partner
to
us,
perhaps
as
a
as
a
thought,
partner
or
or
a
space
where
we
could
leverage
their
outreach
into
our
community-based
organizations
for
input
and
stakeholder
gathering.
So
if
you
haven't
connected
with
eastside
for
all,
I
think
they're
a
really
good
space.
For
this,
the
other
one
that
I
was
also
thinking
about,
is
you
brought
up
economic
development,
so
I
do
think
that
having
this
cross-cultural
center
potentially
is
a
space
is
a
thought
for
that.
C
I
guess
what
I'd
like
to
see,
and
perhaps
it's
a
follow-up
is,
I
understand,
there's
not
a
lot
of
cities
that
have
these,
but
there
are
some
examples
so
if
it
would
be
helpful
just
to
get
a
sense
for
what
are
some
of
these
examples,
and
also
I
understand
that
on
the
capital
cost,
you
can't
give
us
too
much
precision,
but
if
you
could
give
us
at
least
some
idea
of
ranges.
C
Wsu
has
a
cultural
center,
and
so
maybe
it's
the
college
campuses
that
have
them
and
not
cities,
but
I
I
I
think
it
would
be
helpful
to
get
a
little
more
visual
about
some
examples
and
ideas
that
can
help
spur,
perhaps
our
thinking
and
then
I
would
say.
Lastly,
I
really
like
the
idea
that
we're
looking
both
at
a
an
indoor
space
for
different
uses,
as
well
as
an
outdoor
activation
space,
because
I
do
think
that
oftentimes,
we
don't
have
quite
enough
green
space
in
some
areas
of
our
community.
C
A
Hey
so
I
have
a
few
comments
myself.
First,
I
want
to
thank
councilmember
lee
because
he's
really
the
catalyst
for
this
conversation.
As
far
as
I
know
when
I
first
came
on
the
council
seven
and
a
half
years
ago,
he
was
beating
the
drum
to
this
idea
and
it
took
a
while
for
us
all
to
kind
of
catch
on
to
the
value
of
what
he
was
discussing,
and
it's
just
becoming
more
and
more
evident
to
me
how
important
it
is
to
have
this
type
of
a
facility
in
bellevue.
A
I
think
that
you
know
we're
talking
about
connecting
people
and
I
can't
think
of
a
better
place
to
have
a
connection
center
than
on
the
grand
connection.
So
I
would
love
to
see
it
connected
somehow,
either
in
the
lincoln
building
or
the
is
it
the
metro
property?
That's
right
here
at
city
hall,
so
there's
there's
a
lot
of
great
options
that
kind
of
fit
the
need,
the
criteria
that
was
outlined
here,
but
is
also
part
of
the
grand
connection.
A
A
That
is
really
intriguing
to
me,
and-
and
I
like
that,
the
purpose
of
that
and
and
also
being
able
to
talk
about
bellevue's
cultural
history,
I
mean
we
really
have
an
amazing
cultural
history
way
back
to
the
native
americans
in
maidenbauer
bay,
and
I
I
would
love
to
know
more
about
it
myself
and
I'd
love
everybody
to
have
access
to
that
information
more
easily.
A
You
talk
about
the
fact
that
you
haven't
done
many
cross-cultural
or
multicultural
studies
like
this,
and
I
think
that
bellevue
is
super
unique
and
you
outline
how
unique
bellevue
is
in
the
middle
of
your
in
the
beginning
of
your
presentation,
one
of
the
largest
majority
minority
populations
in
washington,
increasing
foreign-born
residents,
significant
diversity
within
the
racial
groups,
and
also
we
have
one
that
top
public
education
systems
in
the
country
and
one
of
the
most
highly
educated
educated
populations
in
the
country
and
all
those
things
are
unique
to
bellevue.
A
That
make
me
feel
that
we
deserve
and
and
warrant
a
unique
facility,
and
perhaps
this
is
that
I'd
also
be
curious
to
know
about.
Are
there
international
examples
of
doing
a
center
like
this?
So
maybe
we
could
look
outside
of
our
country
and
look
at
internationally
if
we
can
see
some
examples
of
this
type
of
a
facility,
but
I
I'm
very
interested
in
knowing
how
we
can
move
forward
with
this
idea,
and
we've
heard
lots
of
good
comments
and
questions
tonight
from
the
council
members.
A
I
Well,
thank
you,
mayor
mayor
once
again,
I'm
greatly
gratifying
grateful
for
all
the
comments
from
the
council.
I
think
this
is
something
that's
self-evident.
I
The
emphasis
really
is
on
capacity
building
on
the
inter
culture,
the
cross,
culture,
interaction,
people
getting
to
know
people.
I
think
that's
important
key,
it's
different
from
a
culture
center.
Where
you
go
participate,
you
don't
participate,
you
just
go
there
to
be
a
an
audience
to
be,
you
know
spectator,
so
I
believe
that
a
cross-cultural
center
is
when
the
bring
people
working
together
getting
to
appreciate,
understand
and
actually
get
used
to
what
other
you
know.
Culture
gave
us,
and
this
is
really
the
principle
of
the
american
american
culture
american
value.
I
We
are
country,
immigrants
who
are
great
because
we
hopefully
idealistic
we're
not
there.
Obviously
I'm
talking
about
the
ideal,
but
we
have
to
work
toward
ideal.
We
have
to
be
aware
of
reality,
so
it's
not
space
per
se.
If
we
continue
to
draw
on
space,
but
it's
capacity,
building,
there's
people
building,
I
think
that's
important
versus
a
facility
versus
a
program.
It's
people
that
makes
program
the
people
that
makes
interaction.
So
I
think
that's
all.
I
want
to
say
so.
I
Okay,
I
think
we
need
to
make
the
effort
to
at
least
take
the
next
step,
and
hopefully
we
can
be
proven
as
correct
and
we
can
realize
our
vision
and
that's
the
step
toward
the
future
when
we
all
can
be
working
together
as
one
not
as
separate
cultures
and
separate
communities,
we
can
work
with
one
american
culture,
american
community.
N
You
just
two
two
two
additional
points
here.
You
know
when
we
think
of
a
multicultural
center
as
well
what
it
sounds
like
I'm
hearing.
I
would
take
a
look
at
mohai
in
seattle.
N
They
do
a
really
good
job
of
bringing
various
cultures
together,
and
I
know
it's
not
a
one-to-one
comparison,
but
I
think
they
do
a
really
good
job
with
that
and
then.
Secondly,
I
also
look
at
partnering
with
modern
pop
shops
that
tend
to
a
supporting
entrepreneurship
of
more
mom-and-pop
retail
shops,
but
then
also
partnering
with
them,
because
that
also.
L
L
Thank
you
mayor.
Yes,
I'm
very
excited
about
this
happy
to
move
this
forward
for
for
me
at
this
point,
we
need
to
hone
in
on
what
this
more
of
what
this
is
going
to
look
like.
So
a
lot
of
the
questions
that
that
were
were
discussed
in
terms
of
you
know
who's
going
to
provide
that
ownership.
L
What
does
what
does
partnership?
Look
like
a
facility?
Are
we
talking
one
facility,
multiple
facilities,
and
what
is
the
operating
model
going
to
look
like?
Is
it
going
to
be
that
hybrid
model?
Is
it
going
to
be
through
the
city
of
bellevue
is
going
to
be
a
non-profit
oriented
and
operated?
So
I
think
we
need
to
hone
down
on
these
on
on
these
issues,
but
but
very
exciting
again,
thank
you,
councilmember
lee,
for
pushing
this
forward.
L
I
look
forward
to
the
next
report
moving
forward,
but
you
know
this
is
an
important
step
in
the
process.
A
lot
of
great
data
here
that
is
going
to
provide
us
with
a
better
informed
decisions
moving
forward,
but.
O
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
stokes,.
J
Yeah,
it's
been
a
great
conversation
and,
and
obviously
thanks
to
conrad
lee
councilmember
lee's
been
working
this
a
long
time
and
I
think
it's
a
time
to
bring
this.
You
know
to
bring
this
thing
home.
J
The
reason
I
brought
up
the
approach
that
I'm
talking
about
is
because
I
am
concerned
about
bringing
it
home
we've
been
talking
about
this.
We
can
talk
a
long
time
about
locating
some
place
or
the
other
and
building
a
big
facility,
and
that's
a
difficult
thing.
It's
interesting,
you
can
have
a
you
know.
J
A
campus
culture
is
a
little
or
setting
is
a
little
different
than
a
city
because
obviously
everybody's
there
and
it's
all
together,
and
but
we
can
look
at
how
they've
done
that,
but
I
really
would
encourage
us
to
look
at
this
is
not
just
a
facility
because
then
it
becomes,
it
doesn't
necessarily
could
work.
It
could
not
work.
J
You
don't
have
a
lot
of
leeway
and
have
a
concept
that
has
multiple
places
as
well
as
maybe
a
central
place
at
some
point,
and
I
think
we
have
a
lot
of
opportunities
to
work
with
organizations
that
can
make
this
happen.
The
biggest
thing
is
making
it
happen
because,
as
we
know,
it's
a
struggle
on
these
things,
particularly
if
it's
a
big
facility.
So
I
think
we
have
the
opportunity.
J
We
have
some
momentum
in
the
city
and
we
do
have
a
lot
of
competition
for
the
same
type
of
buildings
in
the
city
and
that's
that's
a
question
we're
adding
on
to
that.
So
if
we
want
to
make
this
actually
work,
I
think
we
have
to
be
a
little
more
nimble,
a
little
more
flexible
and
actually
focus
on.
What's
the
goal
is
from
just
what
do
we
want
to
build?
J
J
I
also
am
very
interested
in
looking
at
potential
of
the
parks
and
and
cultural
levy
at
some
point
once
we
get
out
of
covid,
because
that's
something
that
has
really
made
strides
in
bellevue
and
that
will
be
something
to
look
at.
So
there
are
a
lot
of
options
and
I
really
appreciate
the
work
that's
been
done
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
continuation
on
this
and
having
other
reports
into
actually
getting
this
something
done.
I'd
like
to
be
around
when
it
is
built.
Thank
you.
P
You
this
has
been
a
great
conversation.
You
know
I
I
so
appreciate
this
council
because
yes,
we're
in
a
time
of
covid,
but
we're
always
looking
forward
to
what's
the
next
step.
Very
you
know
forward-looking,
council
and
also
looking
at
how
do
we
build
community,
because
that's
really
what
this
is
about?
It's?
How
do
we
build
community
in
a
diverse
and
vibrant
and
dynamic
city?
P
So
I
think
that
this
is
really
exciting
to
talk
about,
and
I
do
think
we're
going
to
have
to
talk
about
the
funding
and
I
think
that's
going
to
be
an
important
component-
that
whether
we
do
an
arts
and
parks
levy-
or
you
know
you
know-
or
we
find
some
other
way
to
do
it.
But
listening
to
the
mayor's
comments
about
the
metro
site
got
me
thinking
so,
and
this
is
really
for
my
colleagues
more,
but
when
we
sell
that
site
after
light
rail
is
open,
we
can
put
requirements
on
it.
P
It
affects
the
price,
of
course,
but
we
could
require
whoever
we
sell
it
to
to
build
us
a
community
center
as
part
of
that
development
and
that
would
a
cross-cultural
community
center
and
and
then
give
it
back
to
us
at
a
dollar
a
year.
So
that
is
definitely
something
we
could
do
as
far
as
the
capital
money.
The
operations
money
is
a
whole
other
story,
but
I
think
that
we
can
get
really
innovative,
whether
it's
you
know
looking
for
new
revenue,
whether
it's
looking
at
city
owned
property.
P
Looking
at
you
know,
adding
it
as
an
incentive
to
wilberton
or
adding
it
as
a
requirement
for
a
piece
of
property
that
we
own
that
we're
going
to
sell.
So
that's
an
issue
for
another
day,
but
I'm
really
excited
to
hear
all
the
positive
momentum
on
this
and
the
really
us
coming
together
on
this
idea,
because
we
do
need
more
community
centers
and
what
better
than
a
cross-cultural
one.
So
thanks
I'm
ready
to
hear
next
steps.
C
Yeah
I'm
ready
to
go.
This
is
so
exciting.
I
agree
it's
about
the
people
and
community
and
I
want
to
echo
the
comment
made
by
councilmember
barksdale
about
I
think
you
mentioned
food.
So
there's
a
part
of
me
that
says
community
a
lot
of
times
is
about
sharing
food.
C
So
if
there's
a
way
to
create
some
kind
of
an
international
community
kitchen
where
there
can
be
incubation
of
small
mom-and-pop
businesses
that
want
to
try
out
right
selling
their
their
food
and
then
if
they,
if
they're
successful,
they
move
out
of
that
space
into
a
more
permanent
space
and
that
that
incubation
space
becomes
available
for
someone
else.
So
I
think
that
that
then
the
fragrance
of
food
and
just
that
whole
infusion
of
the
multi-cross-cultural
experience,
I
think,
will
be
really
important.
C
So
I
would
strongly
stress
trying
to
do
something
like
that
and
then
I
agree
with
my
colleagues
that
to
the
degree
we
can
get
some
momentum
to
move
this
forward
and
we're
going
to
have
to
talk
about
the
funding
model.
What
does
that
look
like
and
also
what
are
some
options
so
that
we
can
really
get
a
better
shape
for
when
we
talk
about
funding
models?
How
much
money
are
we
talking
about?
C
So
you
know
we
could
look
at.
Is
it
the
size
of
a
bread
box,
the
size
of
a
you
know
something
else
so
that
we
can
really
start
to
hone
in
on
our
vision,
because
my
sense
is
right
now
we
want
a
lot
and
our
eyes
might
be
bigger
than
our
stomach,
so
we
really
need
to
get
more
clarity
there
and
to
the
degree
we
can
have
some
options
and
examples.
C
I
think
that'll
be
helpful
to
bring
partners
in
because
they
can
then
interact
in
that
space
of
of
more
more
conceptual
than
right
now,
which
is
still
a
little
bit
squishy.
C
So
I
would
strongly
recommend
at
least
trying
to
get
a
couple
of
of
options
or
concepts
of
right,
some,
maybe
performing
art,
maybe
some
meeting
spaces.
Maybe
some
food
eateries
sitting
areas
some
space
outside,
so
we
can
get
more
shape
into
what
acreage
is
needed
for
that
space
as
well.
So
thank
you.
Super
excited.
A
Well,
thank
you
for
the
great
discussion
and
yuriana
linda
and
linda
wonderful
presentation.
What
do
you
do?
You
need
any
direction
from
us,
or
can
you
explain
what
the
next
step
is.
W
Yes,
mayor,
let
me
take
a
stab
at
it.
I
think
I
just
want
to
reiterate.
W
I
think
tonight's
conversation
really
does
help
with
exactly
what
we're
hoping
for
so
councilmember
lee
mentioned
in
in
the
first
round
of
comments
about
how
you
know
40
stakeholders
is
great,
but
we're
going
to
need
to
expand
that
in
order
to
get
a
more
feedback
about
what
exactly
what
direction
we
want
to
take
this,
and
I
would
just
point
out
you
know,
linda
actually
raised
this
back
in
in
june,
for
us
too,
of
I
think
we
came
into
the
study
with
this
objective
around.
W
Let's
see
what
is
our
current
capacity
and
what
are
the
programming
needs?
What
are
some
programming
concepts,
and
I
think
that
what
was
highlighted
back
in
june
is
that
we
need
to
tighten
the
vision
about
what
could
this
be
and
start
being
more
specific
about?
What
is
it
because
if
you
talked
to
40
different
people
about
what
could
be
a
cross-cultural
cultural
center,
we
would
get
60
different
answers
from
those
40
people,
and
I
think,
we've
gotten
a
big
step
into
narrowing
this
down
into
view.
W
I
think
the
next
steps
after
that
is,
we
really
do
need
to
we're
going
to
sit
down
and
we're
going
to
listen
to
the
feedback
from
tonight.
I
see
two
things.
One
is
one
requires
know
a
new
investment.
I
think,
there's
a
conversation,
the
staff
that
we
can
have
about
the
way
of
programming
with
our
current
programs
and
facilities.
W
Let's
keep
looking
for
more
and
more
ways
to
build
connections
that
build
community,
and
I
think,
that's
a
great
highlight
out
of
tonight's
conversation
as
far
as
the
cross-cultural
center
goes.
I
think
that
conversation
also
remember
a
number
of
ideas
of
potential
partnerships,
locations
and
things
that
we
could
leverage
that
are
already
committed
came
up
tonight.
W
I
think
let
us
chew
on
that
and
we'll
be
coming
back
with
with
more
conversation
and-
and
I
would
just
invite
too
that
once
you
have
the
final
report,
if
you'd
like
to
set
up
briefings
or
give
yuriana
or
I
a
call
on
any
thoughts,
we'll
we'll
welcome
those
and
again
we'll
look
at
how
we
resource
this
it'll
probably
require
us
partnering
even
more
with
a
few
other
departments
to
leverage
this,
but
that's
the
work
that
I
think
we're
we're
committed
to
do.
So.
W
Thank
you
very
much
for
for
sharing
your
thoughts
and
ideas
tonight.
A
I'm
just
going
to
ask
councilmember
lee
if
that
reflects
his
goal
with
this,
since
he
is
kind
of
the
brainchild
of
this.
I
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
I
completely
agree
with
kyle.
We
need
to
define
and
make
sure
the
mission
is
clear
because
that's
going
to
differentiate
some
of
the
questions
that
have
been
raised,
including
what
kyle
mentions.
The
second
thing
to
do
is
perhaps
looking
at
the
city's
programming
with
existing
facilities.
I
I
You
know
if
we
still
question
that.
I
think
that
we
should
make
sure
that's
the
reason
why
we
do
the
stakeholders.
You
know
outreach
so
that
we
know
that
the
people,
the
public
and
us
city
council
defined
as
clear
mission
and
clear
vision.
I
So
I
think
once
we've
done
that,
then
it's
a
matter
of
the
consultant
can
help
us
based
on
all
the
discussion
we
just
had
for
the
last.
You
know
hour
to
see
how
do
we
meet
this
vision?
This
mission,
if
the
answer
is
yo,
we
can
just
change
our
programming.
Well.
In
that
case,
I
end
up
conversation.
I
You
know
we
just
continue
to
do
what
we
are
doing
today,
but
my
sense
is
that
we
need
to
at
least
move
forward
not
to
not
to
because
changing
programming
changing
existing
way
of
doing
things
for
the
last
30
years.
It's.
L
I
A
it's
a
long,
drawn-out
process.
It's
something
you
know
we
don't
have
a
well.
I
think
it's
going
to
be
challenging,
so
I
think
we
need
to
do
a
parallel
pro
parallel
process
or
by
looking
at
this
whole
new
mission
and
mission,
and
we
can
actually
include
incorporate
our
city's
programming
as
well,
because
those
are
the
things
we
talk
about.
We
need
to
have
whatever
facility
that
makes
sense
to
build
this
capacity
gradually
across
culture
collaboration.
I
That's
it
whether
it's
one
building
three
building
10
building
existing
building
existing
program,
but
we
can
should
not
stop
like
the
mayor
you
saw
articulately
mentioned.
We
are
above
you
we
are.
People
is
our
main
thing
with
the
people
we
have.
We
can
build
the
city
to
something
that
we
can
meet
or
satisfy
our
vision.
So
I
would
like
to
clarify
that,
and
so
let's
not
hold
back,
let's
yeah,
I
think
most
kinds
of
members
I
think
mentioned:
let's
do
move
forward
to
get
some
models
examples.
I
What
do
we
do
concurrently,
you
know,
and
then
we
can
answer
the
questions
that's
being
raised.
Thank
you.
A
All
right
well,
thank
you.
Everybody
really
appreciate
it,
and
the
last
thing
on
our
agenda
is
regional
issues
which
are
written
updates
in
your
packet
and
if
you
have
any
questions,
you
can
contact
joyce
after
the
meeting
whenever
you
you'd
like
to,
and
I
think
yuriana
you
almost
look
like
you
want
to
say
something
there.
