Please.
C

We

Sexual
Assault,
Awareness
Month,
and
we

Mary
Ellen
Stone,
the
executive
director
of
case
Arc

read
the
proclamation
and
then
I'll
have
you
come
and
and
say
something
and
we'll
do
a
photo
op

Okay,
whereas
sexual
assault
is
pervasive
every
68
seconds.
A
Now,
therefore,
I
Lynn
Robinson,
mayor
of
the
city
of
Bellevue
Washington
and
on
behalf
of
my
city
council,
join
Advocates
and
communities
throughout
King
County
in
taking
action
to
prevent
Sexual
Violence
by
standing
with
survivors
and
proclaiming
April
2023
as
Sexual
Assault
Awareness
Month.
Together,
we
commit
to
a
safer
future
for
all
children,
youths,
adults
and
families
in
our
community.
D
Just
want
to
say
a
few
things:
I
know
you
have
a
full
agenda.
Some
of
you
know
that
I'm
retiring
this
year.
This
is
a
obviously
it's
a
big
personal
deal,
so
I
feel
like
I'm,
on
my
sort
of
reflective
tour
and
and
and
and
in
that
vein,
I
want
to
thank
you
because
k-sark
has
been
serving
the
residents
of
Bellevue
for
40
plus
years.
You
were
one
of
the
first
cities
you're
one
of
the
first
to
stand
with
us
and
say
this
is
an
issue
we
have
to
address.
D
We
need
to
be
more
aware.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
people
get
Services.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
some
funding
coming
in.
So
thank
you
for
standing
up,
because
that's
what
so
much
of
this
is
about
that
we
have
a
national
Sexual,
Assault
Awareness
Day
is
a
great
way
to
sort
of
remind
people
about
that.
I
have
buttons
for
you.
D
It
says
be
loud.
Council
members
on
was
out
of
breakfast
a
couple
weeks
ago
and
we
gave
everyone
buttons.
So
you've
already
got
yours
so
good
that
you're
I
mean
you
know
if
you
were,
if
you
weren't
with
us,
we'd
have
to
mail
this
to
you,
but
but
it
is
so
much
of
the
awareness,
and
so
thank
you
for
doing
that
now,
every
year
we're
responding
to
about
200
victims,
who
are
residents
of
Bellevue
who
reach
out
to
us
for
help.
That's
not
the
full
number.
D
You
know
we
know
many
more
people,
maybe
don't
know
where
to
turn
we're
working
on
that
they
may
feel
like
there's.
No
one
out
there
to
help
them,
but
of
those
200
about
50
about
100
are
children
and
teens.
So
we
know
this
continues
to
be
a
really
important
piece
that
we
have
to
address
and
I
will
say,
as
you
look
forward,
think
more
about
prevention.
D
We
it's
easy
to
feel
and
we
do
every
day.
How
do
we
respond
to
the
people
who
are
calling
us
every
day
and
we've
also
got
to
be
looking
out
farther
and
we've
got
to
be
looking
at?
How
do
we
make
the
shift?
This
is
a
good
first
start,
but
for
the
next
Generations
we
want
to
focus
on
prevention
as
well.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
standing
with
us
for
these
many
years.
Thank
you
for
being
loud.
A
F
A
Opposed
okay
city
clerk,
could
you
please
tell
us
who
signed
up
for
oral
Communications.
B
Thank
you
mayor
this
evening.
There
are
eight
pre-registered
speakers
on
our
list.
However,
I
do
see
five
speakers
in
support
of
the
bike
Bellevue
and
as
I'm
going
to
tell
you
here
shortly.
The
council
can
only
hear
from
three
people
in
support
or
opposition
of
any
one
particular
item.
In
addition,
oral
comms
is
for
a
period
not
to
extend
30
or
not
to
go
past
30
minutes
each
speaker
will
be
given
three
minutes
to
make
their
comments.
E
Rider
like
myself.
Folks
at
work,
often
ask
about
biking
now
that
more
of
us
are
encouraged
to
come
back
into
the
office
and
I
recommend
biking
in
Bellevue,
saying
things
like
well,
it's
improving
and
most
of
your
route
is
protected,
but
being
honest
with
ourselves.
It
hasn't
been
that
long
since
we've
had
a
serious
injury
on
the
route
that
most
of
them
would
have
to
take.
E
E
We
all
joke
that
drivers
want
the
same
thing:
fewer
cars
on
the
road,
but
drivers
more
want
to
feel
safe.
When
driving.
We
don't
joke
about
that,
because
the
fact
is
that
we,
as
a
city
in
a
society,
do
as
much
as
we
can
to
keep
drivers
safe.
Our
road
infrastructure
is
designed
to
make
sure
that
even
the
most
inattentive
driver
can't
hurt
themselves.
E
E
G
Thank
you
good
evening,
mayor
Robinson
members
of
the
Council
on
behalf
of
the
Bellevue
Downtown
Association
I'm,
commenting
to
support
the
launch
of
the
bike,
Bellevue
initiative
at
the
Transportation
Commission,
and
express
appreciation
for
the
city
kicking
off
this
work
with
a
set
of
principles
to
guide
the
allocation
process
of
the
CIP
funds.
I
particularly
oops
principle
number.
Seven.
A
A
I'm,
sorry,
we
missed,
we
lost
you
for
a
minute.
Can
you
go
back
two
sentences
and
continue
we'll
set
the
clock
again.
G
Yes,
can
you
guys
hear
me
now?
Yes,
okay,
I'm
commenting
to
support
the
launch
of
the
bike,
Bellevue
initiative
at
the
Transportation
Commission
and
express
appreciation
for
the
city
kicking
off
this
work
with
a
set
of
principles
to
guide
the
allocation
process
of
the
CIP
funds.
I
particularly
want
to
call
out
the
principle

seven

to
this

ends.
It's
nears
the
end
of
its
work
on
the
curb
management
plan.
G
We
also
plan
to
launch
our
own
initiative
to
evaluate
downtown's
multimodal
system
alongside
future
projects
and
plans,
with
a
goal
to
update
our
own
downtown
access
strategy.
That
scope
includes
downtown's
bike
Network,
so
the
timing
of
bike
Bellevue
syncs
up
nicely
with
our
future
work.
This
is
a
great
opportunity
for
the
city
and
the
BDA
to
collaborate
to
collaborate
together.

look
forward
to
learning
more
about
bike
Bellevue
this

on
this
topic.
Thank

Can
the
media
room
turn
the
volume
down
on
the
virtual

before
we
call
our
next

Thank
you.
Our

who
is

K
Good
evening
mayor
Robinson,
Deputy
Mayor,
new
in-house
members
of
the
city
council
and
city
manager
Miyaki,
my
name
is
Perla.
I
am
here
tonight
on
behalf
of
Amazon,
to
comment
on
the
bike.
Bellevue
project
principles
first
I'd
like
to
express
appreciation
for
the
city's
leadership
on
over
a
decade
of
work
and
Investments
to
improve
pedestrian
and
bike
safety
and
connectivity
in
Bellevue,
with
approximately
10
000
employees,
currently
in
Bellevue,
and
a
return
to
office.
Starting
later
this
spring
Amazon
offers
a
wide
range
of
employee
commute
benefits
to
reduce
dependence
on
single
occupancy
vehicle
commute.
K
That
includes
our
comprehensive
bike,
benefit
that
provides
free
bike,
leasing,
secure
parking,
preventative
bike,
maintenance
and
locker,
and
shower
facilities
with
consideration
to
our
colleagues
who
like
to
work
as
well
as
our
neighbors
and
members
of
the
community
who
bike
in
the
city.
Amazon
supports
bike,
Bellevue
principles,
especially
its
commitment
to
reducing
fatalities
and
serious
injury
crashes
as
downtown,
and
the
city
continues
to
grow.
We
are
grateful
to
the
city
council
for
making
for
continuing
to
make
Bellevue
a
safe
and
connected
for
people
who
walk
roll
and
bike.
K
A
B
L
L
Sorry
good
evening
to
the
mayor
and
the
city
council,
who
are
the
pleasantries
and
I
brought
up
the
issue
of
police
body
cameras
last
time
and
I
was
glad
to
hear
that
that
item
has
been
budgeted
for
some
respondent
in
the
room,
spoke
up
and
said:
he'd
get
in
touch
with
me
afterwards,
but
he
did
not.
That
does
not
matter.
I
have
two
further
concerns
about
the
police.
One
is
the
office
of
accountability.
L
It
seems
that
rather
sad,
that
the
office
of
accountability
is
just
a
policeman
working
who
puts
on
his
office
of
accountability
hat
a
few
hours
a
week
and
does
that
job.
So,
if
I
send
in
a
complaint
he
puts
on
his
whoever
it
is,
he
she
puts
on
their
office
of
accountability.
Hat
reads
my
complaint
and
says
replies
with
a
form
letter
saying
your
issue
will
be
I.
Will
investigate
myself
after
I
take
my
hat
off,
so
he
comes
back
tomorrow
to
the
office.
He
investigates
himself
in
a
couple
of
weeks.
L
He
sends
back
posts
on
his
hat
again
of
office
of
accountability
and
replies.
Saying
I
investigated
myself,
no
misconduct
here
things
are
fine.
You
might
see
why
that
might
there
might
be
problems
with
such
a
system.
I
find
it
rather
sad
that
there
he's
not
budget
enough
for
a
separate,
independent
office
of
accountability.
That's
one
issue.
The
other
issue
is
your
online
reporting
system,
as
who
had
many
of
Bellevue
cities
online
systems
that
one
really
doesn't
work
for
anybody.
Who's
tried
to
change.
The
Bellevue
utility
account
password.
L
You
should
know
what
I'm
talking
about,
but
this
concerns
uploading
documents.
Supplementary
reports
to
a
police
case,
I
tried
once
once,
I
tried,
uploading
two
separate
documents
to
two
separate
case
numbers
and
again
every
response
to
such
an
online
upload
is
done
on
a
Friday
afternoon
at
around
3
pm,
and
it
seems
it's
just
one
person
a
clerk
or
something
sitting
somewhere.
That
person
read
my
first
supplementary
report
and
rejected
it
for
some
reason
not
applicable.
You
should
contact
the
appropriate
office.
L
The
second
one
was
about
misconduct
of
Bellevue
police
I
got
the
same
reason
rejected.
For
the
same
reason,
you
should
contact
the
applicable
office.
That's
your
office
seems
they
didn't
really
read
it
in
a
hurry
to
get
home
the
weekend
after
all,
so
this
state
of
affairs
is
rather
deplorable.
That's
all
I
have
to
say,
and
about
these
two
concerns
of
mine,
about
the
Bellevue
Police
Department.
Pardon
me
if
I
sound
out
of
breath,
I
was
just
getting
some
exercise
on
my
I
think
an
exercise
bike
while
waiting
for
my
turn.
A
I
C
C
My
name
Alex
Zimmerman
and
I'm
kanji,
that
for
the
ship
to
the
Moon,
we
have
a
big
problem
with
Bellevue
school
right
now.
What
is
one
kill?
A
thousand
children
and
make
thousands
and
thousand
parents
not
happy
and
I
spoke
her
for
many
times
before.
This
happened
right
now,
situation,
absolutely
idiotic
and
very
dangerous.
It's
a
real
dangerous!
It's
exactly
what's
happened,
it's
not
offensive,
it's
dangerous!
It
can
kill
people.
C
So
I
spoke
about
this,
but
humor
last
time
told
me
Council,
not
in
walgreens's
business.
So
right
now,
situation
very
simple
for
my
understanding.
Five
console
include:
you
is
a
member
of
Bellevue
school.
So
how
console
who
five
consoles
important
doing
business
with
school?
What
is
supposed
to
be
doing
by
definition?
You
know
what
this
mean
and
you
told
you
don't
do
this
sorry,
I
call
you
your
foreign.
C
Children
to
kill
children
and
parents-
not
happy
I,
know
this.
So
as
number
one
number
two.
What
is
everyone
speak
with
you
about
this
election
go
right
now,
so
everybody
likes
here
to
Leonardo
the
city
have
a
list
of
people
who
go
for
election.
You
don't
have
this
in
Bellevue.
Second,
big
city
in
in
state
Washington
after
Seattle
in
more
intellectual
enrich
in
America,
is
very
important
yeah.
What
has
happened
now?
You
know
what
this
means.
C
Five
years
ago,
you
establish
this
policy
10
people
for
30
minutes
only
because
I
come
every
day
and
speak
every
meeting
can
speak.
You
can
take
me
out.
You
did
this
trick.
You
know
what
has
been
stopping
me
speak
many
times
you
acting
like
a
real
Nazi
pig.
Is
this
exactly
what
this
I
told
you
is
this
very
important?
This
America
freedom
of
speech
and
I'm
sick
I
live
in
this
building
City
for
35
years,
so
intellectual
Rich
City,
acting
like
a
human
garbage
like
a
dirty
garbage
rats.
So
please
cut
this.
Stand.
C
People
30
minutes
bring
back
35
years.
I
talked
to
you
first
time
from
96,
and
will
you
go
in
going
deeper
and
deeper,
with
Democratic
Mafia
in
your
car
right
now,
total
fascism,
classic
fascism,
85
percentage
vote
for
Democrat
this
exactly
same
percentage?
What
is
what
foreign
you
understand?
Who
are
you?
You
are
pure
Nazi
stand
up,
America
cleans
the
story
Chamber
from
this
crook.
It's
exactly
what
is
important.
B
A
Okay,
so
under
Council

and
new
initiatives,
I'd
like
to
ask

about

project.
N
Andrew
good
evening,
mayor
deputy
mayor
council
members,
the
bike
Bellevue
project
aligns
with
the
city's
2009
pedestrian
bicycle
Transportation
plan
and
the
vision
of
a
connected
network
of
bicycle
infrastructure,
and
this
Vision
was
reaffirmed
in
2015
when
Council
approved
program,
principles
for
The
Pedestrian,
bicycle
implementation,
initiative
and
directed
The
Transportation
Commission
to
work
with
staff
in
accelerating
project
completion
Targets
in
the
2009
plan
in
2016,
the
Transportation
Commission
endorsed
the
bicycle
rapid
implementation
program
that
included
city-wide
Bikeway
projects
and
in
the
six
years
since
voter
approval
of
the
transportation
Levy
city
has
implemented
59
miles
of
Bikeway
projects
as
compared
to
just
17
miles
in
the
prior
six-year
period.
N

Council,
also
approved
the
mobility
implementation
plan,
which
set
multimodal
approach
to
infrastructure
development
as
a
priority
and
established
performance
targets
for
every
travel
mode,
including
bicycles
and

Bellevue
also
aligns
with

commitment
to
a
safe

approach
to
Vision

and
striving
to
reduce
to
zero.
The

N
As
Andrew
mentioned,
we
have
rebranded
CIP,
pwb
85
to
bike
Bellevue
in
the
last
Council
CIP
process.
Additional
funds
to
a
total
of
4.5
million
was
set
aside
in
the
23-29
time
period.
The
scope
and
description
for
the
CIP
is
for
staff
to
design
and
Implement
rapid,
build
bicycle
projects
on
existing
streets
in
the
downtown
Wilburton
in
Bel
Red
neighborhoods,
and
to
establish
a
grid
of
safe
and
comfortable
connections
to
key
destinations
for
people
of
all
ages
and
abilities.
N
Bike
Bellevue
neighborhoods
collectively
represent
just
8.5
percent
of
city-wide
geography.
However,
they
account
for
a
65
percent
of
city-wide
jobs,
52
percent
of

36
percent
of

in
this

all
know,
is
experiencing
rapid
growth
development
in
by
2025
we're
expecting
to
welcome
an
additional
30
000
jobs,
27
000
residents
and
the
opening
of
five
Light

stations
and
significant
progress
on
East

N
Bellevue
corridors
depicted
in
green
lines
on
this
project
area
map
are
the
missing
element
in
this
pivotal
moment
in
bellevue's,
multimodal
evolution
and
what's
reflected
on
this
map,
are
the
connect
connectivity
opportunities
that
will
be
realized
between
those
green

and
the
existing

Network
in

the

doesn't
do

N
N
During

Bell

staff
proposes
expanded
Community
engagement
to
ensure
that
we
reach
out
to

diverse

and
employers
to
ensure
that
they
have
adequate
opportunities
to

is
committed
to
updating

Commission
during
its
regular
check-ins.
With
that
input
that
we
receive
throughout
the
process
in
the
agenda
memo
itself,
we
detailed
the
strategies
we're
proposing
to
advance
summarized
on
this
slide.
N
We
believe
these
strategies
will
accelerate
project
implementation
and
better
meet
the
needs
of
the
community
and
at
the
conclusion
of
bike
Bellevue,
which
we
envision
as
early
next
year.
We
expect
the
Transportation
Commission
to
formalize
its
recommendation
to
the
transportation
director
for
approval,
so
tonight
staff
seeks
Council
approval
of
the
principals
that
will
guide
the
transportation
commission's
work
and
these
principles
align
and
are
updated
and
informed
by
the
2015

bicycle
implementation
initiative
principles
to
better
account
for
policies
that
have
been
adopted
since
that
time.

M
Yeah
we
received
a
couple
of

just
talking
about
Equity.
We
had
thought
that
we
had
embedded
Equity
into
all
the
principles,
but
I
think
they
raise
a
good
point
and
we
want
to
call
it
out
specifically
as
its
own
principle
and
I'll.
Let
Franz
explain
what
that
is.

The

including

eight,

Bellevue.
A
Okay,
thank
you,
I'm,
going
to
start
and
then
I'll
call
on
deputy
mayor
council
members
on
councilman
Robertson,
councilman,
Barksdale
and
council
member
Stokes.
So
when
I
was
elected
to
the
council
and
we
started
in
2014,
that's
when
I
started
bicycling
in
Bellevue,
because
I
knew
that
all
these
decisions
were
coming
and
I
didn't.
Think
I
could
make
a
good
decision
unless
I
experienced
the
the
routes
myself,
and
it
was
a
really
good
decision
on
my
part,
because
you
just
cannot
appreciate
how
important
it
is
to
have
these
connected
networks.
A
I
always
say
this
that
the
only
thing
more
dangerous
in
a
city
without
infrastructure
is
a
city
with
partial
infrastructure
and
when
you
look
at
slide
7,
if
you
wouldn't
mind
moving
it
back
to
size
slide
seven,
you
can
see
all
the
incomplete
routes
that
we
have
in
Bellevue
and
as
somebody
who
rides
my
bike,
a
lot
I
sense
those,
and
so
it's
sometimes
you're
surprised
by
them.
Sometimes
you
know
enough
to
work
around
them,
but
we
have
got
to
complete
these
routes.
A
The
cycling
experience
as
well
in
Bellevue
and
who
have
advocated
so
strongly
for
this
ever
since
I
got
on
the
council,
there's
been
a
strong
voice
in
support
of
this
work
and
I
appreciated
that
I
would
like
to
recommend
that
we
push
to
ask
Sound,
Transit
I
know
this
has
nothing
to
do
with
this,
but
I'm
going
to
say
it
anyway
to
ask
sound
transit
to
open
the
Spring
District
ped
bike
routes
because
they
they're
all
fenced
off
and
they
can
fence
off
the
light
rail
station
tracks
without
fencing
off
the
sidewalk
and
the
and
the
bicycle
route.
A
F
Thank
you,
mayor,
yeah,
strong
supporter
of
this.
Thank
you
so
much
Franz
and
Andrew
for
all
your
hard
work
on
this
so
excited
to
see
an
actual
kind
of
East-West
route
here,
instructure,
because
in
fact,
mayor
and
I
have
discussed
this
many
times
where
it's
really
dangerous
and
and
I
think
this
route
is
the
only
one
where
I
can
see
where
we
can
have
a
situation
and
infrastructure
that
can
make
it
comfortable
for
people
to
have
protected
lanes
and
I
did
have
a
question
about
protected
Lanes.
F
If
that
will
just
be
paint
in
post,
will
it
be
Planters?
Will
it
be
more
than
that
I'm
sure
you
have
a
vision
for
that
already,
but
you
know
for
me
if,
if,
if,
if,
if
you
know
from
expert
to
beginner,
if
they
don't
feel
comfortable,
be
it
going
to
get
their
groceries
or
their
you
know,
just
exercising
people
are
not
going
to
use
the
infrastructure.
So
it's
a
good
habit,
but
it
has
got
to
be
safe
and
cut.
People
got
to
feel
comfortable
there.
So
I
would
like
to
get
an
answer
on
that.
F
Also
on
the
on
on
and
I
know,
you'll
be
coming
back
to
us,
but
on
this
safety
piece
of
this
as
well,
because
there'll
be
a
lot
of
right
turns
going
into
those
businesses
there,
like
almost
boy
back
to
back
right,
I'm,
just
wondering
how
we're
going
to
manage
that
and
I
know
you're
going
to
do
extensive
Outreach
with
all
the
businesses
there.
F
F
What
have
you
so
just
curious
about
how
you're
thinking
about
that
right
now
as
well,
but
bottom
line
I'm
so
excited
we're
at
this
point
we
need
more
infrastructure
across
the
city,
but
this
is
a
great
start
and
I
I
can't
wait
to
have
the
commission
go
forward
with
this
and
get
this
implemented.
But
I'll
leave
you
with
those
two
questions.
M
N
Yeah,
so
you
had
two
questions.
The
first
was
on
on
the
separation.
Our
intent
is
to
really
understand
the
context
along
these
corridors,
so
those
higher
volume
higher
speed
quarters.
We
would
be
looking
at
greater
separation
to
reduce
the
stress,
consistent
with
the
mobility
implementation
plan,
so
we'll
be
taking
our
cues
from
the
mobility
implementation
plan
on
the
degree
to
which
separation
is
warranted.
On
on
these
corridors,
we
will
be
incorporating
industry
best
practice.
N
There's
been
so
much
progress
made
nationally
in
this
regard,
and
so
that
will
come
to
bear
in
the
design,
and
we
will
also,
as
mentioned
earlier,
seek
Community
input
on
Project
design
refinements,
so
that
we
can
get
it
right
and
it
is
responsive
to
community
needs
and
on
this
did.
That
answer
is
that
okay
and
then
the
second
one
on
on
those
critical
conflicts?
Absolutely
the
the
right
hook
is
a
is
a
a
major
area
of
concern
at
driveways
at
intersections
and,
as
I
said
before,
we
will
be
looking
at
industry.
N
Best
practice
we'll
be
studying
this
and,
of
course,
we'll
be
engaging
with
the
adjacent
businesses
to
ensure
that
their
concerns
around
access
are
addressed.
As
well,
it's
a
balancing
act,
of
course.
Certainly
we
hope
that,
with
it
more
people
out
there,
there
will
be
safety
in
numbers.
That
is
also
an
observed
Trend
in
other
communities
that
have
built
out
networks.
One
of
the
challenges.
When
you
don't
have
that
connection,
you
don't
have
a
lot
of
people.
It
takes
people
by
surprise
when
you
have
that
volume
build
up,
it
becomes
safer
for
everyone.
O
P
Thank
you,
you
know
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
really
like
the
new
name
by
Bellevue,
because
I
think
the
the
bicycle.
Rapid
implementation
plan
is
quite
a
mouthful
to
say,
and
so
I
really
like
the
new
tagline,
and
you
know
when
I
look
at
the
map.
I
remember
having
been
on
the
Transportation
Commission
and
we
were
trying
to
create
a
connected
network
and
to
north
south
and
two
East
West,
and
it
seems
like
we
are
edging
ever
closer,
so
being
able
to
take
advantage
of
low-cost
and
easy
to
implement
projects.
P
I
think
is
really
important
and
to
getting
us
where
we
need
to
go.
I
was
actually
thinking
that
I'm
here
for
the
national
league
of
cities
and
they've
been
implementing
their
own
bike
Network,
and
so
we
actually
see
people
actually
getting
their
bikes
and
riding
down
to
see
the
cherry
blossoms
using
the
the
bikes
down
here
in
DC.
P
P
I
did
have
a
question
about
on
the
principles
themselves.
If
you
could
go
to
that,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
when
we
talk
about
safety
through
Bikeway
design
that
we're
really
talking
about
the
complete
Street
philosophy
that
we
have
so
when
we
say
Bikeway
design,
we're
not
only
focused
on
the
bike
lane
itself,
it's
the
whole
roadway
itself
and
making
sure
that
it
housed
a
complete
Street.
For
that.
So
I
was
just
wanting
to
confirm
that
and
then
number
three.
P
Although
I,
like
the
word
comfort,
sometimes
I
wonder
when
we
talk
about
Comfort,
it
makes
it
seem
like
it's
an
extra
piece,
whereas
you
know
I
think
what
we
had
always
talked
about
is
making
sure
that
our
bicycle
lanes
are
separated
and
protected
from
cars,
and
so
I
I,
wonder
if
the
word
Comfort
is
what
we're
talking
about,
or
that
this
is
just
a
an
expectation
or
a
principle
that
we
are
going
to
maximize
separation
so
that
bikes
are
protected
and
then
on
number
six
for
Partnerships
well
I,
like
the
fact
that
we
talk
about
identification
of
Partnerships
I'd
like
a
stronger
verb.
P
So
I
wonder
if
there
could
be
an
additional
word,
that's
more
of
an
action
verb
that
could
be
there
in
that
particular
one
and
and
then
my
my
last
comment
is
I,
think
that
we
are
going
up
we're
going
to
be
pursuing
more
Vision,
zero
dollars,
Safe
Streets
for
all
grants,
and
so
is
that
what
the
end
of
Page
Three,
where
we
talk
about
the
timeline
and
I'm.
Looking
for
my
node,
it
says
project
implementation,
including
opportunity
for
increased
funding.
P
N
Great
thanks,
I'll
kind
of
backtrack
from
there,
so
I
I,
I
I,
concur
identify
seems
a
little
weak
in
number
six
I,
a
friendly
Amendment,
maybe
pursue
or
something
of
that
nature.
But
if
Council
has
some
other
language,
what.
P
N
A
change
identify
to
pursue
fine,
okay,
okay
and
then,
and
then
back
to
comfort
number
three.
The
the
word
choice
for
Comfort
was
deliberate
in
this
case
and
speaks
to
the
mobility
implementation
plan.
I
can't
give
you
an
exact
number
of
references,
but
it's
well
over
10
references
in
the
mobility
implementation
plan
to
this
notion
of
comfort.
N
It
directly
speaks
to
the
level
of
traffic
stress
that
people
experience
that
has
been
commented
upon
so
yeah,
I
I
think
it's
the
the
intent
here
is
really
to
make
sure
that
we're
aligning
this
work
with
prior
Council
policy
Direction.
So
that
was
the
the
deliberate
choice
of
comfort
in
that
context,
and
then
your
first
comment
about
ensuring
complete
streets
I
think
that
one
way
that
we've
been
speaking
about
this
is
we're
thinking:
Beyond
complete
streets
to
complete
networks.
N
P
Okay,
well
I
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
I
I
recall
that
we
had
actually
adopted
complete
streets
because
it
was
helpful
for
us
to
pursue
grant
funding.
So
if
the
current
wording,
you
feel
comfortable
still
gets
us
there,
that's
fine
I
actually
had
an
opportunity
today
to
be
on
in
a
debrief
with
several
dot
folks
about
grant
funding
applications
and
how
they
can
streamline
and
make
their
process
better.
So
and
maybe,
as
we
go
along,
if
there
are
any
edits
that
are
appropriate,
then
we
can
work
on
it
at
that
time.
P
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
positioned
well
for
Grant
success.
Thanks.
N
Just
just
a
point
of
clarification,
I
I
did
want
to
mention
attachment
B.
If
you
look
at
attachment
B
the
the
language
of
complete
streets
is
included
in
number
two.
It's
we
just
had
enough
space
for
the
bolded
text.
So
actually,
if
you
look
at
attachment
B,
it
says
consistent
with
the
city's
complete
streets
policy.
P
Q
Exciting
Good
presentation,
so
a
couple
of
comments
on
the
principles
I
support
the
principles
as
written
with
the
Amendments
of
changing
number
six
to
pursue,
adding
the
equity
Principle
as
well
as
the
Preamble
I,
think,
that's
really
appropriate
in
looking
at
the
map,
we're
talking
about
systems,
approach
and
whatnot
and
looking
at
the
map
that
was
on.
Let
me
find
it
on
my
PowerPoint
on
page
seven
of
the
PowerPoint
I
I
still
see
some
potential
missing,
links
and
I
know.
Q
Missing
links
can
be
really
expensive,
I
mean
we've
been
working
on
the
Missing
Link
at
the
mountains
to
sound
Greenway
for
a
really
long
time.
The
missing
links
I
see
is
on
Spring
Boulevard
between
124th
and
130th,
and
I.
Think
that
we're
going
to
want
to
have
where
it
turns
to
136
we're
going
to
want
to
have
a
connection
that
goes
back
towards
Bel
Red
down
there
as
well.
So
ultimately,
I'd
like
to
have
those
on
the
long
range
plans.
Q
They're
also
I,
don't
see,
Mains
well,
I,
see
Main
Street
and
that
does
cross
over,
but
there's
a
where
it
crosses
over
405
and
that
I
just
drove
across
that.
For
the
first
time,
a
couple
this
week
and
I
know:
there's
gonna
be
bike
Lanes
there,
so
there
doesn't
seem
to
connect,
though,
to
the
116th.
So
we
want
to
make
those
connections
on
the
current
bicycle
Network.
Q
For
me,
that
almost
would
be
more
a
higher
priority
because
it
would
be
less
expensive
before
we
build
out
the
new
corridors,
let's
at
least
complete
what
we
have
and
and
then
go
for
the
corridors
that
you
have
shown
here.
So
I
think
that
we
don't
want
to
take
our
eye
off
the
ball
and
have
missing
links
there.
Q
I'd
also,
and
very
cognizant
of
the
issue
that
Deputy
Mayor
brought
up
about
the
right
turns
with
that
accident.
We
had
three
weeks
ago
and
I
remember
when
I
was
first
on
Council
talking
about
getting
a
crosswalk
somewhere
with
the
then
Transportation
director
and
I
was
told
you
know
that
might
be
a
place.
That's
not
really
safe,
but
we
shouldn't
put
a
crosswalk
there
because
it
gives
The
Pedestrian
a
false
sense
of
security,
because
it's
not
a
good
place.
Q
It's
there's
not
great
visibility,
and
we
want
people
if
they're
going
to
cross
there
to
be
really
safe.
So
I
think
that
when
we're
building
out
the
network,
we
need
to
kind
of
have
that
mindset
as
well.
We
want
to
build
it
where
we're
not
going
to
give
bicyclists
or
cars
a
false
sense,
that
they
can
just
go
there
anytime
and
cross
the
bike
lane
or
the
or
that
the
bike
lane,
because
it's
separated
cars
will
never
cross,
because
if
there's
driveways
so
I
I
know
that
there's
Engineers
that
do
this
stuff.
Q
But
we
need
to
be
thinking
about
that,
because
I
don't
want
to
see
more
people
injured
on
our
streets,
whether
they're,
walking
or
biking,
which
is
the
more
common
injuries
than
driving.
So
those
are
my
comments.
I
also
wanted
to
highlight
principle,
four,
which
I
think
is
a
really
important,
multimodal
principle
that
talks
about
looking
at
data
and
I
think
that
we
need
to
be
really
careful
not
to
reduce
any
mode
to
accommodate
a
different
mode
if
it
will
negatively
impact
Mobility
as
a
whole.
Q
I
would
not
be
in
favor,
for
example,
of
taking
out
a
bike
lane
because
we
have
too
much
traffic
on
a
road
to
add
another
car
Lane.
At
the
same
time,
if
we
have
too
much
traffic
on
a
road,
I
wouldn't
be
in
favor
of
taking
out
a
bus
lane
or
pedestrian
lane
or
a
Car
Lane
to
accommodate
another
mode
and
I
don't
mean
to
not
build
out
the
network.
Q
What
I
think
we
need
to
do
if
that
is
the
case,
is
acquire
more
right-of-way
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
all
modes
have
the
best
Mobility
possible.
If
we're
going
to
expand
the
mode
and
it
needs
more
right-of-way,
then
let's
do
that.
I
know
it's
more
expensive
than
just
paint
on
pavement,
but
it
will
probably
give
all
Road
users
a
better
experience.
It
will
add
more
safety,
but
it's
expensive
so,
but
things
worth
doing
are
worth
doing
right
and
I.
Q
R
Come
here
love
this
project
love
the
connectivity,
The
increased
connectivity,
I
I,
remember
some
time
ago.
I
was
riding
my
bike
in
in
Newport
Hills,
though,
and
there
was
a
section
where
the
the
bike
lane
just
ended
into
a
sidewalk,
but
there
was
no
on-ramp
onto
the
sidewalk
so
anywhere.
As
has
already
been
mentioned,
we
can
complete
the
streets
that
be
a
network.
R
That'd,
be
awesome,
appreciate
the
addition
of
equity
I
had
a
question
in
here
about
it
initially
so
I'm
glad
to
see
that
I
was
curious
in
terms
of
feedback,
so
you
have
comfort
which
I
actually
like,
because
it's
actually
a
higher
bar
like
in
order
to
assess
comfort.
You
actually
have
to
talk
to
Riders
right
in
order
to
evaluate
it.
So
how
are
we
not
to
get
into
the
weeds?
R
I
guess
I
would
just
say:
I
think
it'd
be
awesome
to
have
ways
of
collecting
that
input
along
the
Route,
maybe
like
QR
codes
or
something
where
people
could
scan
it
and
provide
feedback
at
any
point
reasonably
along
the
Route.
So
you
can
get
some
of
that
more
in
situ.
If
you
will
feedback,
that's
all
I
have.
Thank
you.
O
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
agree.
This
has
been
a
great
conversation.
I'm
really
excited
about
the
plans
and
going
forward.
You
know
going
back
to
2016-17.
We
had
the
levy
and
worked
on
that
and
councilman
ruzan
was
the
chair
of
the
transportation
committee
at
the
time,
and
you
know
we.
It
really
is
great
to
look
back
and
understand.
You
know
what
how
much
we
did
and
how
much
it
really
helped
everything.
So
it's
great
glad
to
see
that,
even
though
it's
taken
some
time,
we're
really
expanding
that.
O
So
we
have
a
great
pattern
to
start
with
already
so
it's
we
can
really
do
what
we
we
want
to.
In
the
long
run,
things
have
changed
so
much
it's
like
a
whole
new
world,
but
we're
just
adding
to
that.
I
agree
what
the
comments
have
been
made
and
some
of
these
these
suggestions,
I'm,
really
pleased
with
adding
Equity
I.
Think
we
incorporate
it
in
different
ways.
Then
we're
just
starting
to
talk
about
that
and
used.
Equity
is
and
understand
what
Equity
was
and
how
we
need
to
get
it
integrated.
O
So
to
have
be
at
this
point
now
and
that's
just
a
given
we're
gonna
we're
going
for
equity
in
this
as
well,
so
really
appreciate
that
and
I
agree
with
councilmember
Robertson
on
when
he
looked
at
that
map,
I
thought
yeah.
We
need
to
connect
that,
through
through
Bel
Red,
all
the
way
up
into
that
area
places
we
have
in
in
with
you
know
the
Light
Rail
up
there.
So
just
a
lot
of
once
you
get
this
started.
O
There
are
a
lot
of
ways
that
can
additionally
be
added
on
that,
so
we're
eventually
going
to
connect
the
whole
city
on
that
part,
particularly,
but
right
now
we're
focusing
on
this
downtown
area,
which
is
where
most
of
the
transportation
is
and
that
particularly
where
it's
concentrated
and
I
think
those
issues
of
how
do
we
make
it
safe
for
things
that
a
lot
of
ideas
and-
and
you
know
there
are
a
lot
of
places
that
are
really
doing
some
great
things
now
we
can
learn
from
as
we
always
do,
and
people
learn
from
us,
so
I
think
we've
just
done
a
great
path
and
I
really
appreciate
it
and
it's
it's
a
lot
of
work,
that's
gone
on
for
a
long
time,
but
it's
been
very
consistent,
focused
and
hasn't
gone
here
and
there
and
everywhere
else
it's
really
focused
on
this.
O
So
we
have
the
opportunity
now,
the
way
it's
been
put
together
to
really
make
this
thing
work
and,
as
you
can
see,
the
whole
Council
supports
it,
and
it's
really
exciting
and
looking
forward
to
bringing
it
back
with.
You
know
tweaks
and
things
and
any
new
ideas
we
can
talk
about,
but
we
need
to
get
going
on
this
and
put
it
in
play
and
I
really
appreciate
the
the
mayor's
comments
at
the
end
of
the
beginning.
O
To
put
this
in
context,
because
you
know
we
worked
on
that,
it's
been
you
know,
seven
years
or
something
it's
not
too
long,
but
anyhow
thanks
very
much
I'm
looking
forward
to
voting
for
it.
The
next
time.
A
A
F
S
S
A
I
Members
this
evening,
staff
are
here
to
present
the
council
with
a
mid-session
update
on
the
Washington
State
legislative
session.
As
you
are
well
aware
of
underway,
we
understand
that
the
state
budget
process,
finally
underway
the
staff
will
share
some
updates
on
both
policy
bills
as
well
as
budget
items.
Tonight
is
an
informational
update.
We're
not
expecting
any
formal
council
action
this
evening
and
joining
us
at
that
table
is
Genesee
Atkins,
our
chief
of
external
Affairs
and
her
right
is
Lacy
Jane,
Wolf
assistant,
director
of
intergovernmental
relations,
both
from
the
city,
manager's
office
and
I.
T
You
good
evening,
mayor
deputy
mayor
council
members,
thank
you
for
having
Lacey,
Jane
and
I
to
give
you
a
quick
legislative
update
from
Olympia.
Our
consultant
Brianna
Murray
will
be
joining
us
for
the
Q
a
portion.
If
you
have
any
questions
afterward,
we
think
she's
moving
between
counties
right
now,
but
she'll
be
logging
on
shortly.
It
is
a
busy
time
right
now
in
Olympia,
and
so
we
wanted
to
come
back
to
you
now
that
we've
really
moved
past
the
house
of
origin
cut
off.
T
That's
when
all
of
those
house
bills
have
to
have
made
it
out
of
the
house
and
likewise
for
the
Senate,
and
now
we
really
are
in
the
throes
of
the
budget
portion
of
the
session,
so
we'll
Dive
Right
into
a
little
bit
of
that
detail.
Thank
you.
Let's
see
nope
there
just
as
a
reminder,
the
resource
that
we
really
use
as
our
true
north
as
we
do.
Our
work
in
Olympia
is
the
State
Legislative
agenda.
T
First,
the
first
one
of
those
is
affordable,
housing
and
land
use.
As
far
as
we
can
recall,
including
our
colleagues
around
the
city
table
in
Olympia.
This
is
the
busiest
session
we
have
seen
in
the
last
couple
of
decades
on
the
topics
of
housing,
affordable,
housing
in
land
use
growth
management.
It
has
really
been
an
incredible
volume
of
legislation
and
we've
really
had
our
hands
full.
That's
not
a
bad
thing.
It
just
means
we've
really
been
on
our
toes
juggling
a
lot
of
bills
at
once.
T
One
of
the
things
that
we
want
to
mention
in
you
have
in
your
intergovernmental
Affairs
packet,
update
a
really
long,
State
Legislative
update
with
a
lot
of
Bill
status.
You'll
see
there
are
a
lot
of
density
and
Transit
oriented
development
bills
permitting
bills.
There
are
a
lot
that
are
still
in
motion
at
this
point
in
session,
so
it
did.
T
The
cutoff
at
the
house
of
origin
did
thin
the
number
of
bills
a
little
bit,
but
there's
still
a
lot
of
them
and
they
all
amend
the
same
or
complementary,
rcws
and
so
part
of
what
we
are
trying
to
sort
out
over
the
remaining
month
is
geez.
How
are
these
things
not
going
to
step
on
each
other's
toes
so
that
at
the
local
level,
we
can
have
a
sensible
way
of
trying
to
actually
Implement
these,
because
there's
a
lot
of
good
policy.
T
There
are
lot
of
details
that
get
very
weedy
in
complement
to
the
affordable
housing
and
land
use
bills.
There's
also
a
vigorous
conversation
underway
about
funding,
and
we
heard
some
updates
on
that
earlier
this
afternoon.
There
are
two
major
conversations
around
funding,
housing
and
affordable
housing.
One
is
House
Bill
1628
from
representative
Frank
chop.
It
would
give
us
a
local
option,
additional
Reit.
It
would
also
increase
the
state.
Reit
excuse
me
real
estate
excise
tax
over
a
certain
amount
of
properties
of
a
certain
value.
T
This
would
do
provide
a
large
funding
stream
for
housing
and
affordable
housing.
The
second
funding
mechanism
that
is
still
under
discussion
is
House.
Bill
1149,
that's
from
representative
theringer,
the
capital
budget
chair,
but
it
really
is
Governor
inslee's
proposal
to
increase
or
lift
the
state
Bond
threshold
by
to
create
4
billion
million
dollars
in
additional
housing
Revenue
that
is
encountering
some
choppier
Waters
in
the
Senate.
T
T
In
the
policy
Committee
in
the
house
and
the
fiscal
Committee
in
the
house,
then
on
the
house
floor
and
now
in
the
first
policy
Committee
in
the
Senate,
so
this
bill
continues
to
iterate
and
get
refined
every
single
one
of
the
issues
or
concerns
that
Bellevue
raised
in
our
comment.
Letter
has
been
addressed
and
dealt
with,
so
we're
really
pleased.
We
can
talk
about
a
few
of
those.
You
have
a
few
of
them
up
here
on
the
slide
Community
amenity.
T
This
was
a
reference
that
was
added
a
little
bit,
not
at
the
bill
is
introduced,
but
after
it
came
out
of
the
original
policy
committee
and
after
we
had
our
conversation
in
January,
this
was
added
into
the
bill
as
a
reference
to
entrances
or
proximity
to
Parks
schools
and
other
community
amenities.
This
would
have
raised
is
the
city-wide
or
main
you
know
by
and
large
the
city-wide
units
per
lot
to
six
instead
of
four,
which
is
what's
in
the
base
bill
that
got
amended
out
of
committee.
T
Excuse
me
out
of
the
bill
when
it
went
through
the
fiscal
committee
House
Appropriations.
They
also
in
the
house
added
two
additional
alternative.
Pathways
for
compliance,
so,
in
addition
to
just
complying
with
the
bill
as
written,
there
are
now
two
different
ways
to
come
into.
Compliance
with
the
Bill's
requirements.
T
They're
outlined
here
and
I
I
won't
go
into
the
details,
but
we
can
certainly
talk
about
them
if
you
wish,
and
so
through
all
those
different
steps
in
the
process.
Oh
and
now,
since
we
even
put
these
slides
together
in
the
Senate
policy
committee,
they
made
an
additional
change
that
we
asked
for
which
was
making
it
clear
that
adus
counted
toward
the
additional
units
on
a
lot,
something
that
was
important
to
us
because
of
our
position
on
Accessory
dwelling
units.
T
U
I
think
I'll
just
add
that,
as
we've
been
able
to
resolve
most
of
the
issues
that
Council
raised
at
the
last
discussion
were
really
focusing
on
how
this
bill
interacts
with
other
land
use
bills.
There's
a
lot
splitting
bill,
for
example,
that
could
potentially
then
double
the
total
density
and
so
really
now,
focusing
on
making
sure
that
there
are
additive
effects
on
top
of
11
10
is
where
we're
at.
T
A
T
T
We
originally
envisioned
a
request
and
and
put
forward
a
request
through
our
legislators
for
a
matching
fund
from
the
state
capital
budget
that
would
really
match
bellevue's
own
local
dollars,
one
to
one
for
under
50
Ami
housing,
so
that
we
could
buy
the
property
and
make
it
a
much
more
affordable
for
a
developer
to
do
that
really
deeply
affordable
housing
creation.
We
were
also
hoping
that
other
cities,
because
we're
all
following
direction
from
the
Department
of
Commerce
to
achieve
affordable
housing
targets.
T
We
thought
there
would
be
a
Groundswell
of
similar
requests
that
Groundswell
did
not
manifest.
There
are
only
a
couple
of
other
cities
that
requested
support
for
affordable
housing,
so
we
pivoted
about
halfway
through
the
process
to
seek
funds
for
a
couple
of
specific
Parcels
that
we
could
build
deeply
affordable
housing
on.
We
have
not
yet
gotten
Traction
in
the
capital
budget.
We
are
not
giving
up
hope
yet,
but,
and
so
there's
another
month
left
to
go.
This
is
one
of
those
places.
T
S
Hello
good
evening,
Genesee,
do
you
mind
if
I
add
one
comment
on
this
slide
sure
go
ahead?
Yeah
I
think
the
one
thing
that
we've
heard
back
from
capital
budget
writers
is:
they
want
to
invest
in
land
acquisition
for
affordable
housing,
but
they
want
to
do
it
through
a
specific
program
that
is
a
low
interest.
Loan
program
operated
through
the
Housing
Finance
commission.
S
T
T
The
two
things
that
are
called
out
specifically
in
our
adopted
State
Legislative
agenda,
are
the
Mounds
to
sound
Greenway
Trail
in
Bellevue.
It's
really
important
that
we
get
sequencing
of
those
dollars,
so
we're
not
seeking
new
Appropriations
but
we're
seeking
a
phasing
of
Appropriations
so
that
we
can
take
advantage
of
some
really
important
service,
Transportation
federal
funds,
so
that
we
need
to
have.
We
have
to
have
these
funded
by
I.
Think
it's
June
of
2025,
and
so
the
good
news
is
the
governor's
budget
had
it
where
we
needed
it
to
be
house.
T
Transportation
budget
does
not
hit
that
deadline,
so
this
is
a
place
where
we're
going
to
need
to
really
speak
up
as
Lacey
Jane
did
this
afternoon.
To
really
impress
upon
that
about
how
important
it
is
to
get
the
funding
allocated
on
a
timeline
that
lets
us
take
advantage
of
those
federal
dollars
when
we
can
leverage
these
different
sources
together.
It's
really
important,
and
then
the
second
thing
here
that
you'll
see
is
the
sr521
24th
Avenue
Northeast
interchange
project
in
the
Bel
Red
neighborhood
this
in
the
governor's
proposed
budget.
T
He
shifted
the
allocation
of
the
phasing
of
this
project
and
pushed
this
Project
funding
about
out
about
10
a
little
more
than
10
years.
That's
really
challenging,
because
this
is
a
high
growth
area.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
this
project
stays
on
track,
and
so
we've
been
continuing
to
work
towards
this
I.
Think
in
the
house
budget
it
was
moved
forward.
Is.
R
T
Right,
that's
right
so
a
little
bit
of
good
news
on
this
one
as
well,
and
then
we're
working
on
some
kind
of
secondary
Transportation
issues
that
are
also
in
the
state
budget,
around
East,
rail
and
some
other
projects
as
well
and
anything
else
to
add
on
Transportation
no
chance
you
covered
it.
Okay
and
then
our
third
area
of
priority
is
around
services
and
infrastructure
for
a
growing
Community.
These
are
our
additional
two
budget
requests
that
we
move
forward
this
session.
One
is
for
the
community
service
center
at
Crossroads
or
mini
City
Hall.
T
T
We
did
not
see
funding
in
there,
but
Lacy
Jane
testified
and
supported
it
this
afternoon
and
then
followed
up
with
legislators,
reiterating
the
incredible
value
to
our
community
and
to
a
lot
of
the
residents
who
are
not
traditionally
as
enfranchised
and
don't
find
coming
to
City
Hall
Downtown
as
comfortable
and
easy
and
the
many
many
Community
organization
Partnerships.
T
We
have
out
of
that
location,
so
we're
have
our
fingers
crossed
to
get
some
more
traction
there
again,
we
may
be
following
up
with
you
for
a
little
help:
Pump
Station
12
and
the
Force
main
at
Lake
Sammamish.
This
was
where
we're
really
trying
to
replace
this
tremendously
aged
Pump
Station,
so
that
we
can
make
sure
to
keep
our
water
clean
and
keep
serving
all
the
growing
residents
of
the
east
side
of
Bellevue.
T
This
was
included
in
the
Senate
capital
budget
to
the
tune
of
1.03
million
dollars
really
excited
about
that,
because
these
really
are
the
last
dollars
in
so
that
we
can
commence
that
project
work
and
really
seize
the
opportunity
where
we
feel
like.
We
can't
afford
another
failure
at
this
pump
station.
So
we
did
not
see
that
in
today's
release
of
the
house,
capital
budget,
Lacey
Jane
is
going
to
testify
on
that
budget
at
eight
o'clock
tomorrow
morning
and
make
the
case
for
our
lawmakers
in
the
house.
T
We
hope
we
can
get
some
similar
success
and
traction
on
the
house
side
as
well,
so
that
rounds
out
our
kind
of
top
cluster
of
issues.
I'll
talk
about
a
little
bit
of
what
to
expect
next,
then
open
up
the
floor
to
any
questions
you
might
have
in
terms
of
the
budget.
This
really
is
where
we
swing
into
full
budget
mode
down
there.
T
What
becomes
tricky
is
that
we
are
left
with
really
really
big
policy
bills
like
some
of
the
ones
that
we've
talked
about
and
also
six
different
budget
vehicles
at
the
same
time,
so
the
they
will
start
to
focus
more
and
more
energy
on
reconciling
the
compromised
budgets.
While
we
continue
to
do
refinements
on
the
pieces
of
legislation
as
and
as
Lacy
Jane
said,
really
see
how
these
bills
interfere
with
what
are
interact
with
one
another
so
that
we
don't
do
something
double
what
we
really
intend
to
have
happen
on
the
ground.
T
T
We
really
have
been
waiting
to
see
the
budgets,
because
this
is
one
of
the
critical
places
where
those
relationships
can
really
come
into
play
and
then,
finally,
in
terms
of
deadlines,
you
can
see
the
next
policy
committee
cutoffs
are
coming
up
midweek
this
week
fiscal
committees
next
week,
and
then
it
is
just
a
couple
more
short
weeks
until
we
get
to
cyanide
adjournment
on
April
23rd,
not
very
far
away
at
all.
So
that's
our
last
slide
of
any
substance
and
we're
happy
to
field
questions
on
anything.
T
F
Thank
you
thanks
for
the
great
presentation
and
the
update
on
all
the
the
bills
and
and
our
as
it
relates
to
our
alleged
agenda.
I
am
surprised,
there's
one
thing
not
on
here
and
that's
53.52,
since
it's
such
a
closely
watched
bill
right
now-
and
you
know
many
partners,
including
sound
cities
and
many
municipalities-
are
watching
this
very
closely
and
you
know
for
those
watching
at
home.
F
This
is
the
law
enforcement
vehicular
Pursuits
bill
and
a
lot
of
folks
are
being
encouraged
to
contact
the
legislature
right
now
because,
as
you
mentioned,
there's
like
a
lot
of
significant
issues
in
front
of
the
legislature
right
now
and
it's
a
very
short
window
to
take
action,
and
this
is
one
that
may
fail
to
move
forward,
but
maybe
not
given
the
the
importance
around
it
and
how
many
municipalities
around
the
state
are
very
concerned
about
this
and
what
this
means
for
law
enforcement
going
forwards.
I
was
just
curious.
F
What
update
you
might
have
on
that
one
for
us
tonight,
yeah.
T
Absolutely
I'll
kick
it
off
and
then
Brianna
might
want
to
add
on
so
5352
the
vehicular
Pursuits
bill
that
you
mentioned
Deputy
Mayor.
It
was.
This
is
a
really
important
bill
to
cities.
This
is
the
thing
that
the
Senate
did
kind
of
used
up
their
last
day.
Doing
was
pulling
this
bill
down.
It
had
not
technically
been
heard
and
they
pulled
it
to
the
floor
because
they
heard
how
important
it
was
to
cities
to
get
clarity
on
a
Pursuit
standard.
Now,
I
think
it
is
what
trying
to
get
its
moment
in
the
house.
T
We
know
that
the
Democratic
majority
really
needs
to
be
persuaded
that
this
is
something
that
we
need
to
take
action
on
this
year,
and
so
they
I
think
there
was
a
call
to
action
just
today
from
the
cities
asking
local
officials
to
reach
out
to
folks
they
know
in
house
Democratic
Leadership
again
to
say
you
know
this
is
a
conversation
that
is
worth
your
time
in
committee
and
worth
your
time
on
the
floor
to
resolve
and
get
clarity
on
for
this
session.
There
were
in
the
version
they
brought
forward
to
the
floor.
In
the
Senate.
T
There
was
a
striking
amendment
that
did
change
it
wasn't
the
original
version
as
introduced.
It
did
make
some
kind
of
compromises
or
concessions.
We
still
think
that
version
is
definitely
important
for
the
legislature
to
pass,
and
so
it's
something
that
we're
we
know
all
the
cities
are
working
and
supportive
right
now,
Brianna
did
I.
You
want
to
add
any
additional
context.
S
I
would
just
add
that
procedurally,
the
bill
is
scheduled
for
a
vote
tomorrow
and
the
house
Community
safety,
Justice
and
re-entry
committee,
and
it's
expected
to
advance
out
of
that
committee.
Without
any
amendments
from
there.
It
will
go
to
the
house
rules
committee
and
that's
really
where
there
needs
to
be
adequate
support
from
the
house.
Democrat
Caucus
and
house
Democrat
leadership
to
bring
the
bill
to
the
floor
for
a
vote.
S
So
the
the
call
to
action
is
really
targeting
members
of
the
House
Democrat
Caucus
and
encouraging
to
advance
the
bill
forward
to
the
floor
for
a
vote.
I
I
will
note
that
the
association
of
sheriffs
and
police
Chiefs
did
send
a
letter
to
the
legislature
in
the
house.
Democrat
Caucus
earlier
this
week
outlining
that,
even
if
the
bill
were
to
pass
into
law
that
they
would
like
to
see,
the
legislature
take
up
additional
vehicular
Pursuit
policies
in
future
legislative
sessions
and
I.
S
Think
that
letter
has
some
legislators
taking
pause
as
to
whether
or
not
it's
worthwhile
to
advance
in
a
policy
a
policy
this
year,
which
is
another
reason.
You
see
a
lot
of
push
for
reaching
out
to
legislators.
Asking
for
them
to
to,
despite
the
waspic
letter
Advance
the
incremental
progress
bill
that
it's
before
them.
S
They
did
not
hold
a
public
hearing
on
this
version
of
the
bill
they
because
they
held
a
public
hearing
on
the
house
version
of
the
bill
earlier
this
session.
So
they
didn't
feel
the
need
to
go
through
another
public
hearing
process.
They
just
plan
to
advance
it
out
of
his
policy
committee,
the
other
the
house
version
of
the
bill
went
to
house
Transportation.
The
Senate
version
is
anticipated
just
to
go
directly
to
rules.
A
You
so
I'm
going
to
make
a
comment
that
I'll
call
council
members
on.
Is
there
any
discussion
about
how
some
of
these
housing
bills,
like
11
10?
How
the
covenants
make
large
areas
of
the
city
exempt
from
this
and
that
it's
gonna?
It
feels
like
it's
gonna
just
Target
certain
neighborhoods.
It
doesn't
feel
very
Equitable.
It
doesn't
seem
like
what
the
goal
is
for
the
city
in
terms
of
having
affordable
housing
everywhere
that
they're.
So
is
there
any
discussion
about
that?
Yes,.
T
Mayor
there
certainly
is
and
I
know,
as
we
have
heard
a
lot
of
feedback
from
our
own
residents
and
constituents
here.
We've
definitely
pushed
some
of
those
conversations
to
Olympia
what
we've
heard
back,
because
that
concern
is
not
not
alone
in
that
concern,
and
recognition
is
that,
while
that
is
an
acknowledged
concern,
they
don't
feel
like
the
that
they
are.
There
are
legal
constraints
as
to
how
you
may
retroactively
impact
any
existing
covenants.
The
bill
is
clear
about
making
sure
that
any
covenants
that
are
prospective
cannot
preclude
food
missing
middle
housing
or.
T
And
part
of
what
is
challenging
is
further
challenging
is
that
we
don't
know
which
individual
deeds
and
individual
properties
have
what
types
of
covenants
on
them,
and
so
really
it
is
a
difficult
thing
to
speculate
about,
because
it
could
be
a
lot.
It
could
be
a
whole
lot.
It
might
be
a
lesser
amount.
It's
really
going
to
be
a
difficult
thing
to
have
to
unravel
piece
by
piece.
Brianna
I
know
legally,
we've
raised
this
with
you
in
the
past.
Do
you
want
to
add
anything
else.
S
Yeah
I
mean
you're
you're.
Exactly
right.
Legislators
share
the
concern
mayor.
They
they
equally
see
the
inequity
and
I
think
many.
If
not,
majority
of
them
would
like
to
have
the
provisions
apply
retroactively,
but
as
they've
consulted
with
their
legal
counsel,
it's
pretty
much
come
back
from
their
legal
counsel.
S
To
say
sorry,
you
don't
have
the
authority
even
in
changing
state
law,
to
do
that,
because
it
would
be
a
violation
of
contract
law,
so
I
I
think
there's
a
shared
sentiment
there,
but
a
legal
Challenge,
and
that's
why
you
see
the
bills
crafted
the
way
that
they
are
I.
Think
legislators
are
I've
heard
several
of
them
just
in
the
last
week
say
that
they're
skeptical
about
the
legal
analysis
they're
receiving
and
that
they
want
to
tackle
that
issue
in
a
future
legislative
session.
S
P
Yes,
thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
You
know
it's
interesting
being
here
in
DC
at
National
League
of
cities,
because
what
I
was
hearing
is
that
there
are
many
other
states
that
also
have
this
same
preemption
discussion
around
zoning
like
California,
Colorado,
Oregon
and
Arizona
Wyoming
and
New
Mexico,
the
preemption.
They
tried
to
do
and
did
not
succeed.
So
it
sounds
like
it
is
not
something
just
confined
to
Washington
State.
What
I
didn't
hear
and
I
was
hoping
to
understand.
P
Is
there
are
two
bills
that
both
look
at
density-
one
is
the
11
10
and
the
other
is
the
Tod
bill.
Is
that
the
5449?
Something
like
that?
Can
you
comment?
Oh
five,
four
sixes
can
you
comment
on?
Are
what
will
how
do
these
bills
work
together?
They
don't
seem
like
they
necessarily
are
in
alignment,
and
it's
not
really
clear
to
me
how
that
would
work.
If
both
of
them
are
moving
forward,
they
they
seem
to
have
some
conflicts
and
some
definitional
issues.
Could
you
comment
on.
T
That
absolutely
council
members
on
you
have
put
your
finger
on
a
really
big
question
that
we
are
asking
not
only
to
ourselves
but
to
lawmakers
to
say
hey.
These
are
really
important
policy
issues.
We
are
generally
broadly
supportive
of
the
policy
drivers
behind
them,
but
the
details
matter
in
intensely
Senate
Bill
5466.
You
have
an
update
on
it
in
your
materials.
This
is
the
transit
oriented
development
bill
from
Senator,
Elias
and
representative
Reed.
T
This
bill
moved
very
quickly
out
of
the
Senate
with
I
think
almost
no
amendments
and
then
came
over
to
the
house
where
it
is
getting
much
heavier
scrutiny.
The
difference
between
the
two
at
a
high
level
is
that
11
10
really
is
about
trying
to
create
those
middle
housing
types
throughout
different
residential
areas
of
a
community,
adding
more
duplexes,
more
triplexes
Cottage
housing
on
bigger
Lots
stuff.
Like
that,
the
idea
here
with
the
transit
oriented
development
bill
is
in
concept.
T
T
So
we
are
I'd
say
that
this
bill,
unlike
1110,
which
kind
of
started
big
and
hairy
and
kind
of
gets
refined
as
it
goes
through
the
process,
5466
kind
of
zoomed
out
of
the
Senate
and
is
now
getting
a
little
bit
of
hitting
some
headwinds
as
people
go
like
oh
gosh,
how
did
these
two
work
to
together
this?
These
are
treading
upon
in
some
places.
The
very
same
you
know
blocks
and
lots
literally.
How
do
we
make
this
successful?
T
There's,
not
a
ton
of
time
left,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
really
thorny
details
to
sort
out,
so
we're
working,
really
assertively.
We've
had
some
good
conversations
with
the
proponents
and
AWC
is
helping
be
a
convener
of
those
conversations,
but
there
is
a
whole
whole
lot
of
stuff
that
continues
to
not
get
smaller
as
the
bill
moves
forward,
but
just
keep
changing
shape.
So
this
has
been
a
little
more
slippery
to
get
our
arms
around
I.
T
Don't
know
if
Lacy,
Jane
and
Brianna
want
to
add
more,
but
this
is
like
a
big,
a
big
item
of
discussion
that
we're
working
a
lot
on
right
now.
Q
Yeah
there
this
has
been
the
most
busy
ledge
session
that
I
can
ever
remember.
So
a
couple
of
comments
based
on
what
has
been
said.
It
is
there's
there's
the
lot
split
bill.
There's
the
Tod
bill.
There's
the
missing
middle
Bill
I
just
was
scanning
through
as
I
was
listening
to
the
discussion,
the
the
latest
version
of
House
Bill
1110,
which
is
about
the
sixth
or
eighth
iteration,
and
it
actually
incorporates
the
lot
split
legislation
into
it.
I
don't
know
if
you
picked
that
up
so
it
it
does.
Q
I
think
it's
likely
that
those
two
bills
could
pass
potentially
and
not
the
Tod
bill
on
the
covenants.
It
also
prohibits
future
Declarations
of
condos
Etc
from
affecting
it,
but
I
just
wanted
to
to
weigh
in
on
the
Covenant
issue,
because
I
didn't
want
staff
to
get
the
misimpression
that
the
entire
Council
is
wanting
to
get
rid
of
all
covenants
for
the
missing
middle
housing
bill
I
personally,
do
not
I
think
they
are
a
property
right
I
think
they
are
a
contract
right
now.
Q
That
said,
my
lot
I
looked
at
my
covenants
just
recently
in
context
of
the
legislation.
I
can
not
split
my
lot,
nor
can
I
even
add
a
detached
Adu
to
my
lot
and
I
know
that
there
are
people
who
are
talking
about
putting
covenants
on
their
land
right
now
before
these
bills
pass.
So
that
is
something
that
people
buy
into
a
covenanted.
Neighborhood
has
value
and
people
invest
because
of
that
and
I
do
not
think
that
we
should
be
advocating
as
a
body
to
violate
people's
property
rights
or
contract
rights.
A
That's
fine
but
I
mean
it's
not
like.
We
have
decided
as
a
council
on.
Q
That
right,
that's
what
I
wanted
to
say:
that's
we
haven't
decided
so
I
don't
want
staff
to
get
the
misimpression
that
we
should
be
down
in
Olympia.
Advocating
for
that.
That's
that's
my
point
and
if
the
council
decides
to
do
that,
that's
a
council
decision,
but
my
perspective
is
that
we
should
not.
So
thanks
for
the
presentation
and
the
written
materials
are
always
so
excellent.
I
know
that
it
takes
a
lot
of
effort
to
distill
down
the
thousands
of
pages
of
bills
and
to
follow
the
bouncing
ball
every
week.
Q
A
O
Okay,
you
understand
what
councilmember
just
said:
I
don't
I
haven't
detected
I
want
to
make
it
clear:
I
haven't
detective
staff,
doing
something.
That's
contrary
to
that.
We're
that's
an
issue
that,
as
I
understand
we're
all
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
work
around
that.
Eventually,
things
are
going
to
change,
and
but
we
have
to
do
it
the
right
way
you
have
to
go
legally
in
all
those.
O
There
are
a
lot
of
issues
on
that,
so
it
is
unfortunate
that
we
are
losing
some
opportunities
to
prepare
for
the
future,
but
I
think
that
is
something
we
work
on
and
again
I,
don't
think,
Bellevue
and,
and
the
staff
has
made
any
clear.
O
You
know
comments
that
we
we
want
to
get
rid
of
the
covenants.
That's
just
something
we
work
on
in
terms
of
how
do
you
make
it
work
with
those
special
and
how
do
you
pass
those
kind
of
things
along
to
people
who
maybe
want
to
do
something
different?
It's
it's
a
big
conversation.
It's
going
to
take
a
while
and
I'd
be
really
surprised
if
there's
any
legislation
that
comes
through
this
year
that
affects
that.
But
it's
something
we
have
to
the
new
world
is
going
to
have
to
deal
with
that.
O
Oh
because
this
is
because
this
goes
back
to
the
60s
and
80s,
and
but
it's
here
and
and
we're
not
going
to
do
anything
that
violates
that.
So
it's
all
going
to
be
done
legally,
so
I
just
didn't
want
any
impression
that
we're
somehow
doing
something.
O
That's
not
quite
what
we
should
be
doing
so
I
appreciate
that
you're
been
very
instruct
even
and
I
think
neutral
in
that
sense
of
what
we
do
with
this
and
recognizing
that
this
is
a
an
issue
and
that
to
achieve
the
big
overall
goals,
we
have
to
make
some
kind
of
changes
in
how
things
are
built
in
the
neighborhoods.
But
that
doesn't
mean
the
neighborhoods
can't
be
great,
because
we
have
a
lot
of
neighborhoods
that
are
great,
that
don't
have
covenants.
O
So
it's
it's
just
one
of
those
issues
to
work
through
so
I
appreciate
your
even
and
very
informative
comments
about
this.
R
I'll,
keep
it
short,
I
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
balancing
the
interest
and
also
just
staying
on
top
of
all
the
all
the
work
that's
happening
in
session
right
now
and
then
in
terms
of
housing.
I'll
just
say
you
know,
I
think.
You
know
I
appreciate
that
that
our
legislator
legislators
are
taking
up
this
issue.
R
I
mean
there
are
years
and
years
of
history
around
housing
in
our
state
and
in
our
country
and
I
think
these
are
tough
things
to
Grapple,
with
as
we
as
we
move
to
a
more
Equitable
Society,
so
I'm
glad
there.
Those
discussions
are
happening
and
thanks
for
being
a
part
of.
T
Thank
you
yeah
my
pleasure
and,
of
course,
the
next
time
we
have
an
opportunity
to
be
in
front
of
you.
T
We
will
hopefully
have
an
idea
of
where
everything
landed
and
what
it
all
adds
up
to
for
us,
because
a
lot
of
the
land
use
and
affordable
housing
pieces
in
particular
will
be
very
relevant
as
we
get
really
into
the
deepest
throes
of
our
comprehensive
Plan
update,
so
we'll
be
working
closely
with
all
of
the
staff
and
CD
and
DS
and
others
to
make
sure
we
help
everybody
understand
and
make
good
sense
of
what
this
all
shakes
out
like.
Thank.
A
You
so
in
our
packet
we
have
a
really
good
overview
of
the
state,
federal
King
County
and
Puget
Sound
Regional
Council
intergovernmental
Affairs,
so
that
is
in
the
packet.
It's
just
it's
not
for
discussion
tonight,
so
we
will
take
a
break
right
now.
We
will
come
back
at
quarter
till
and
thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
A
All
right,
we
are
back
so
next
up
under
ordinances
resolutions
and
motions.
We
have
ordinance
6732
Mr
Miyake.
Would
you
like
to
introduce
that.
I
Ordinance
67
6732
is
an
artist
that
has
been
drafted
based
on
feedback
that
we
received
from
the
council
at
the
March
13th
council
meeting
regarding
permit
applications
and
as
well
as
extending
them.
Tonight's
staff
are
here
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have
before
you
take
action.
That
would
turn
it
back
to
you,
mayor.
A
Greg,
do
you
have
anything
you
want
to
start
with?
Well.
V
This
just
a
quick
reminder
that
the
proposed
ordinance
does
extend
applications
and
permits,
building
and
clearing
and
Grading
applications
and
issued
permits
by
180
days,
Council
requested
an
additional
information
on
March
13th
I'll,
respond
to
that
and
also
directed
staff
to
bring
the
ordinance
back
this
evening
we
do
recommend
adoption
move
forward
to
our
agenda
here.
V
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
the
direction
and
the
number
of
affected
permits,
I,
believe
council
members
on
wanted
to
know
how
many
projects
were
affected
and
then
we'll
get
into
some
of
the
other
details
of
the
ordinance.
V
V
I'll
also
talk
about
the
council
direction
to
initiate
a
land
use
code,
Amendment
and
engage
with
stakeholders.
The
number
of
per
applications
and
permits
for
projects
that
are
affected
is
approximately
ten
thousand.
You
see
that
at
the
lower
right
corner
of
this
chart
to
the
upper
right,
MEP
indicates
mechanical
electrical
Plumbing
permits.
Those
are
included
with
the
projects
that
are
affected
by
this
action
and
at
the
lower
left.
Tco
indicates
temporary
certificate
of
occupancy,
though
so
that
tells
you
the
status
or
the
permit
for
the
projects.
V
The
pros
and
cons
really
come
down
comes
down
to
finding
that
right
balance
between
helping
the
development
projects
right
now,
at
a
time
when
we
have
a
diff,
we
have
difficult
market
conditions
and
it
provides
greater
certainty
to
the
projects,
while
also
the
need
to
balance
the
implementation
of
changes.
As
the
code
is
changed
and
we
do
have
a
code
change
coming
up
this
summer,
the
ordinance
has
been
amended
to
cover
through
June,
30th
and
I.
Think
that
does
make
sense.
V
V
There
was
also
a
request
for
information
about
the
phasing
of
major
projects.
I
discussed
that
a
little
bit
two
weeks
ago
and
I'll
just
clarify
that
this
action
does
benefit
major
projects
that
can
propose
a
schedule
for
phasing
and
I.
Think
I
talked
at
that
time
about
an
example
with
a
high-rise
project
that
perhaps
has
a
couple
of
high-rise
Towers,
maybe
a
Podium
and
a
below
grade
garage
by
adding
some
additional
time
in
the
application
process
and
in
the
issued
status
for
construction.
V
It
does
lengthen
that
overall,
phasing
of
the
whole
project
there
was
direction
from
Council
on
March
13th,
for
staff
to
initiate
work
on
a
land
use
code,
amendment
that
would
give
the
land
instructor
additional
ability
to
extend
vesting
for
certain
land
use
approvals,
and
that
just
a
reminder
that
that
is
on
a
separate
track
going
forward.
It
will
include
a
public
hearing
and
then
we'll
come
back
to
council
and
we
are
scheduling
meetings
with
stakeholders,
as
requested
by
Council,
to
continue
that
engagement.
V
A
Greg
Deputy
Mayor.
Do
you
want
to
make
a
motion,
certainly.
A
V
A
You,
okay,
I,
have
our
meeting
here,
but
we
are
first
of
all
I'm
going
to
say
that
the
April
10th
meeting
is
going
to
be
canceled
due
to
spring
break,
and
then
we
have
those
two
executive
sessions.
At
the
end
of
the
meeting
here,
I
read
my
little
blurb
go
find
my
little
blurb.
Here
we
go.
A
The
council
will
now
recess
to
Executive
session
for
two
items.
The
first
item
is
regarding
pending
litigation
pursuant
to
RCW
4230,
110
1i
and
we'll
take
approximately
20
minutes.
The
second
item
is
regarding
property
acquisition
pursuant
to
RCW,
4230
1101b
and
we'll
take
approximately
20
minutes.
The
council
will
adjourn
from
the
executive
session,
so
we
will
not
come
back
for
any
more
meeting
and
we
will
go
out
to
our
exact
session.
Thank
you.
