D
D
She
was
only
one
of
nine
women
to
graduate
in
her
law
school
class
of
more
than
500,
she
became
a
professor
at
rutgers
university
school
of
law
and
later
became
the
first
woman
to
be
hired
with
tenure
at
columbia,
university,
school
of
law
from
1973
to
1980.
She
served
as
general
counsel
for
the
aclu
as
she
founded
the
women's
rights
project
in
1980
president
jimmy
carter
appointed
her
to
the
u.s
court
of
appeals
for
the
district
of
columbia
circuit.
D
During
her
time
with
the
with
the
circuit.
She
also
made
rulings
that
helped
women
be
able
to
have
credit
in
their
own
name
without
having
to
have
a
husband
on
their
credit
and
other
things
that
really
brought
women's
rights
forward
in
93.
President
bill
clinton
nominated
her
to
the
u.s
supreme
court
and
she
was
only
the
second
woman
appointed
and
she
was
a
con.
She
was
confirmed
by
a
96-3
vote
that
was
the
year
I
graduated
from
law
school
and
I
distinctly
remember
her
being
nominated
and
being
so
impressed
by
her
record.
D
She
was
and
will
continue
to
be,
an
inspiration
to
many
of
us
in
the
legal
field,
as
well
as
many
many
young
women.
It's
important
that
we
recognize
her
contributions
to
the
nations,
her
public
service
and
her
dedication
to
women's
rights.
I
will
very
much
miss
seeing
her
on
the
court
and
listening
to
her
rulings.
Thanks.

A
A
A
He
took
up
tennis
in
his
70s
and
won,
not
because
he
was
the
fastest
or
hardest
hitter.
He
was
the
smartest
player
and
he
played
without
an
ego.
I
knew
that
coach.
Oh,
I
know
that
coach
will
continue
to
influence
generations
of
athletes
with
the
skills
he
taught
and
exemplified
excellent,
sportsmanship
respect
for
the
opponent,
an
incredible
drive
to
win
and
the
ability
to
play
smart
coach.
We
will
remember
you
okay,
so
we
are
on
to
approval
of
the
agenda
and
I
believe
we
have
an
amendment
deputy
mayor.
F
B
Thank
you
mayor.
We
have
one
individual
signed
up
to
speak
tonight
and
then
I'd
also
just
like
to
remind
everybody,
because
we
do
have
a
number
of
attendees.
Many
of
them
who
are
signed
up
to
speak
for
the
public
hearing.
So
they've
already
been
instructed
this,
but
while
the
council
always
has
has
time
and
room
to
hear
from
anyone
on
any
subject
on
nights
and
then
we
have
a
public
hearing,
we
can't
double
dip.
So,
no
speaking
on
the
topic
for
the
public
hearing
during
oral
communications,
tonight's
topic
is
on
the
budget.
B
G
G
For
the
past
two
years,
I
have
been
a
part
of
the
bellevue
youth
link,
client
action
committee
working
to
achieve
sustainability
goals
and
milestones.
I
personally
care
about
climate
because
it
will
severely
impact
the
lives
of
both
my
generation
and
future
generations
on
our
planet.
Budget
allocations
specifically
play
a
critical
role
in
future
climate
action.
The
coven
19
pandemic
has
taught
us
important
lessons
about
safety,
health
and
well-being
that
can
be
applied
to
climate
action
since
coven
19
is
a
respiratory
virus.
People
with
underlying
respiratory
conditions
are
impacted
more
severely
than
the
general
population.
G
A
lack
of
good
air
quality
in
certain
regions
due
to
both
greenhouse
gas
emissions
and
the
smoke
caused
by
recent
wildfires,
which
have
been
exacerbated
by
climate
change,
can
lead
to
and
harm
the
development
of
respiratory
ailments
in
many
communities.
It
is
thus
essential
to
divert
a
portion
of
our
budget
to
addressing
climate
change.
G
The
kovit
19
crisis
has
also
shown
us
the
importance
of
collaboration.
We
as
a
city
must
work
together
with
other
communities
in
order
to
minimize
the
harmful
effects
of
climate
change
in
the
coming
years.
This
is
a
reason
why
I'm
sincerely
thankful
that
you
signed
the
k4c
as
well.
Collaboration
among
cities
will
always
be
more
successful
than
individual
efforts.
G
G
A
B
H
Thank
you
mayor
and
council
members.
I
have
one
item
this
evening
under
the
city
manager's
report
to
report
on.
I
wanted
to
share
some
good
news
about
our
partners
at
the
maidenborough
convention
center
last
week.
It
was
announced
that
the
maiden
bower
center
earned
the
global
biorisk
advisory
council,
also
known
as
g
back
star
facility
accreditation
becoming
the
first
convention
center
in
the
washington
state
to
earn
this
accreditation.
H
Special
thanks
to
tim
carr,
the
executive
director
of
the
convention
center
authority,
jeremy
heinrich
the
center's
facility
and
security
manager
and
the
full
team
at
the
convention
center
for
pursuing
this
important
work.
So
just
please
join
me
in
congratulating
the
maine
convention
center
for
this
prestigious
award.
Thank
you
mayor.
A
I
Thank
you
mayor.
I
would
say
that
this
continues
to
show
just
the
world-class
organization
that
our
maiden
bower
center
and
convention
center
is
that
they
pursued
excellence
in
making
sure
that
we
have
a
clean
space
for
the
community
to
come
and
pursue
the
accreditation
so
that
we
can
show
that
as
the
economy
reopens
that
our
convention
center
is
a
safe
place
for
people
to
come
for
conventions.
And
I
look
forward
to
the
day
when
we
can
reopen
the
space
broadly
for
conventions.
I
A
J
A
Any
opposed
all
right
that
passes
so
now
we
have
our
public
hearing.
So,
mr
miyake,
are
you
gonna
tee
that.
H
Yes,
ma'am,
I
will
go
ahead
and
tee.
This
up
tonight
is
the
second
of
three
public
hearings
on
the
2021
to
2022
operating
budget
and
the
2021
to
2027
capital
investment
program
plan
and
just
by
way
background
state
law
requires
that
the
council
hold
one
public
hearing
to
gather
inputs
from
residents
and
other
stakeholders.
H
You
know
for
purposes
of
ensuring
there's
ample
opportunity
for
the
public
feedback
in
the
budget.
The
city
bellevue
holds
three
versus
one
pub
budget
public
hearings
two
before
the
preliminary
budget
is
presented
to
you
and
one
afterwards,
as
discussed
on
june
22nd.
The
next
binary
budget
will
face
very
challenging
choices
with
impacts
to
copen19
on
the
economy.
Tonight
is
another
opportunity
for
the
public
to
provide
input
into
my
preliminary
budget
in
advance
of
scheduled
delivery
to
the
council
in
october.
H
The
last
time
a
public
hearing
was
before
you
was
july.
28Th
and
joining
this
evening
is
ke
lew
assistant
director
for
the
finance
and
asset
management
department
for
a
brief
staff
report.
So
I'll
turn
it
over
to
katie
liu,
hey.
K
Good
evening,
mayor,
deputy
mayor
council,
members
and
city
manager
tonight
is
the
second
of
three
public
hearings
for
the
2021
2022
operating
budget
and
the
2021
through
2027
capital
investment
program
plan,
as
the
city
manager
prepares
his
preliminary
budget.
The
city
welcomes
the
public
input
and
feedback.
K
On
the
screen,
this
budget,
major
brian
stone
calendar,
shows
you
that
this
year's
budget
process
started
a
little
bit
later
than
usual.
Due
to
the
impacts
of
of
covet
19..
The
initial
budget
workshop
was
held
on
june
22nd,
where
council
was
briefed
on
the
estimated
impacts
of
covet
19
on
the
upcoming
biennial
budget.
K
Then
we
held
the
first
public
hearing
in
july.
Tonight
is
the
second
public
hearing
the
city
manager
will
present
his
preliminary
preliminary
budget
to
you
in
october.
The
final
public
hearing
for
budget
is
scheduled
for
november
prior
to
the
adoption
of
the
budget,
which
is
scheduled
in
december
of
2020.
K
A
Thank
you,
okay.
So
the
purpose
of
this
public
hearing
is
to
provide
an
opportunity
for
a
council
to
listen
to
organizations
and
to
the
community.
We
will
have
our
time
to
comment
in
october
when
the
city
manager
presents
it
to
us
at
our
meeting,
then
so
with
that,
is
there
a
motion
to
open
the
public
hearing.
B
A
Mr
standard,
do
we
have
people
who
would
like
to
speak.
B
Yes,
mayor
and
I
will
a
couple
of
things
quick
before
we
go
through
the
list:
there
are
14
individuals
who
are
signed
up
to
speak
tonight.
I
don't
see
all
of
them
on
online
quite
yet,
but
maybe
as
as
as
time
goes
on,
they'll
join
us
a
couple
of
things
to
note
in
the
public
hearing
notice.
It
also
instructs
individuals
on
how
to
submit
comments
officially
to
the
budget
office
and
or
the
city
clerk.
There
was
four
communications
received,
and
those
were
in
your
desk
packet
this
evening,
which
was
delivered
via
email
at
522.
B
B
He
did
notify
the
clerk's
office
earlier
this
afternoon
that
he
would
be
unable
to
to
participate
in
the
meeting
itself,
but
he
did
ask
that
we
note
that
he
did
send
a
message
to
council
late
last
week
with
his
feedback,
so
you
may
consider
that
as
well,
and
that
has
also
been
shared
with
the
budget
office
and
the
city
manager
with
that
we
do
have
13
remaining
with
mr
plummer
removed
from
the
list.
The
first
speaker
is
dave
hamilton,
mr
hamilton.
I
have
unmuted,
you.
Can
you
or
allowed
you
to
unmute
yourself?
L
Yes,
good
afternoon,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor
newinghouse,
council
members,
my
name
is
dave
hamilton
and
I
live
in
the
tamil
shannon
neighborhood.
My
address
is
17915
northeast
19th
place,
bellevue
9808.
L
L
I
moved
to
bellevue
with
my
family
almost
50
years
ago,
aside
from
a
few
years
off
and
on
I've
lived
here
since
five
of
my
kids
were
born
at
overlake
hospital
and
all
six
have
attended
bellevue
schools
for
all
or
most
of
their
educations,
while
my
business
has
morphed
and
moved
over
the
years.
I
started
it
in
bellevue
over
30
years
ago,
like
many
I've
seen
our
community
grow
and
mature
navigating
through
the
process
has
been
a
challenge.
The
community
has
continually
met
the
challenge
and
have
much
to
be
proud
of,
and
thankful
for.
L
Part
of
what
makes
bellevue
exceptional
is
that,
no
matter
whether
you
work
live,
play
go
to
school
or
all
of
the
above
here
there
is
a
draw
to
do
it
here.
Bellevue
has
a
contagious
sense
of
community
that
permeates
life
in
our
city.
I've
seen
it
in
the
neighborhoods
amongst
my
colleagues,
interacting
with
city
staff
and
time
and
again
from
our
council
members.
L
We
value
community
and
we
don't
add
qualifiers
to
how
we
define
community.
When
I
look
around,
I
see
community
members,
not
smaller
groups
that
make
up
the
hole.
My
sense
is,
this
is
a
common
view.
Kobit
19
requires
council
to
view
the
budget
through
a
whole
different
lens
effectively.
Dealing
with
the
pandemic
is
the
key
to
minimizing
the
severity
of
our
budget
woes
and
lessening
the
impact
of
revenue
shortfalls
as
much
as
possible
in
the
next
budget.
L
L
It's
vital
that
the
community
understand
this
is
a
crisis
affecting
everyone
residents,
employees,
businesses,
seniors
families,
the
entire
community
and
the
actions
we
take
require
support
and
involvement
from
everyone.
This
will
require
a
sustained
effort
by
the
entire
community
in
achieving
achieving
the
goals
of
the
strategy
that
gets
us
through
this
challenging
time.
B
You
thank
you,
mr
hamilton,
and
I
think
the
timer
had
an
issue
there,
but
we'll
get
it
on
the
next
one.
The
second
speaker
is
court.
Olson,
who
I
don't
see,
mr
olsen.
If
you're
online,
can
you
either
raise
your
hand
using
zoom
or
using
star
nine
if
you're
on
your
telephone.
B
B
Albert
I
see
you,
can
you
hear
us?
Can
you
unmute?
Am
I
muted?
Now
you
are
thank
you
and
as
you,
when
you're
ready,
please
start
speaking
and
the
timer
will
start.
J
J
The
graph
that
I
sent
you
from
bloomberg
news
is
why
I
think
that
the
vast
majority
of
police
are
not
racist.
The
article
accuses
the
police
of
being
racist
based
on
the
fact
that
the
police
per
capita
kill
african
americans
at
more
than
twice
the
rate
of
white
americans,
but
what
the
article
does
not
look
at
is
that
asian
americans
are
killed
per
capita
by
police
that
well
under
one
half
the
rate
of
white
americans.
J
J
On
a
very
rare
occasion,
the
police
use
too
much
force.
What
gets
a
person
killed
by
police
almost
always
starts
with
resisting
arrest.
J
J
Looting
and
vandalism
should
be
stopped
by
any
means
possible.
Protesters
have
the
right
to
protest,
but
they
do
not
have
the
right
to
shut
businesses
down.
They
want
to
protest.
Let
them
protest
in
a
park
where
they're
not
hurting
hard-working
tax-paying
businesses.
There
is
no
constitutional
right
to
protest
in
the
street
constitution.
Allows
you
the
right
to
protest,
but
the
authorities
can
force
you
to
protest
in
a
park
and
not
destroy
businesses.
J
J
I
don't
know
what
the
numbers
are
for
the
city,
but
I
recently
looked
up
what
the
numbers
are
for
the
state
and
from
1980
in
2017
for
the
state
the
state
was
spending
4
600
per
capita
per
per
capita,
and
in
2017
and
2017
dollars
they
were
spending
ten
thousand
dollars
per
capita.
The
state
pretty
much
doubled
per
capita
in
their
inflation-adjusted
spending
wouldn't
be
surprised
if
the
city
isn't
the
same
way.
J
B
All
right-
and
I
see
mr
olsen
has
joined
us
court.
Can
you
go
ahead
and
unmute
we'll
make
sure
you
can.
M
Very
good
thanks
for
having
me
and
thanks
to
the
council
for
voicing
support
over
the
past
several
months
on
our
climate
action
concerns
and
for
signing
just
last
week,
or
at
least
making
the
motion
to
sign
the
k4c
commitment
letter
update
in
these
times
of
covid.
M
We
know
that
our
budget
constraints
are
are
going
to
be
significant,
and
yet
we
also
know
and
I'll
remind
you
that
the
intergovernmental
panel
on
climate
change
in
the
united
nations
has
told
the
world
that
we
really
need
to
cut
our
greenhouse
gas
emissions
in
half
by
2030,
if
we're
going
to
avoid
a
runaway
global
warming
and
that's
consistent
with
the
k4c
commitment,
but
that's
going
to
be
a
tough
lift
to
accomplish,
and
we
really
need
to
get
a
quick
start
on
it
and
therefore,
we've
got
to
put
money
in
the
budget
to
accommodate
that
now
covet
will
pass,
but
the
looming
catastrophe
of
of
climate
change
won't
pass
and
it'll
be
long
lasting.
M
If
we
don't
do
something
quickly,
other
cities
in
the
world
are
doing
it.
Bellevue
could
be
a
local
leader.
I've
sent
all
of
the
council
members
some
information
on
just
one
city
in
europe.
That's
doing
it
dramatically
and-
and
we
could
certainly
do
something
similar
here-
there's
really
not
much
funding
needed
for
planning
a
complete
and
comprehensive
climate
action
plan.
M
In
fact,
if
we
could
get
the
attention
of
existing
staff
focused
on
climate
action
planning
and
implementation,
we
may
not
even
need
to
add
much
if
any
additional
money
in
the
budget,
but
it
will
take
a
significant
amount
of
staffing
effort
to
get
a
climate
action
plan
finalized
and
then
implemented,
and
I'm
hoping
that
you
and
the
council
and
the
city
manager,
mr
miyaki,
will
make
every
effort
to
get
funding
in
the
budget
so
that
we
can
execute
a
climate
action
plan
that
is
comprehensive
and
is
robust,
and
that
is
going
to
be
implemented
in
this
next
budgetary
period.
B
O
All
right,
great
okay,
thank
you
so
much
for
having
me
bellevue
city
council,
thanks
for
hosting
this
and
allowing
me
to
speak,
I
want
to
talk
about
defunding
the
police
right
now.
Violence
is
on
the
rise
across
america
due
to
many
factors.
According
to
the
new
york
times,
the
pandemic
has
led
to
a
nationwide
rise
in
domestic
violence,
child
abuse
and
pet
abuse.
I
argue
this
is
reason
enough
to
not
divert
funds
from
the
police
department
in
efforts
to
to
boycott
the
police.
Chas
was
created
earlier
this
year.
O
This
is
evidence
of
what
happens
when
the
police
force
is
weak
or
not
backed
up
and
supported
by
their
city's
leadership.
Just
the
news.com
published
an
article
on
september,
18th
titled.
After
slashing
police
funding,
minneapolis
city
council
members
decry
ensuing
crime
spike,
their
decision
to
cut
funding
was
negligent
and
the
people
of
minneapolis
are
paying
for
it
right
now.
Their
decision
was
not
based
on
any
facts
or
evidence,
and
it
is
backfiring
on
them
right
now
as
we
meet.
O
I
understand
that
no
policeman
or
no
police
department
is
perfect,
and
I
would
encourage
community
leaders
to
engage
with
their
police
departments
and
call
for
more
transparency
and
accountability.
I
understand
that
a
big
part
of
why
we're
having
this
meeting
is
because
of
dissatisfaction
being
expressed
in
police
departments.
O
Please,
at
the
very
least,
do
not
divert
funds
from
the
people
who
protect
bellevue.
They
now
need
our
support
more
than
ever
and
we
need
their
support
more
than
ever
as
well.
This
is
not
primarily
about
the
jobs
of
policemen.
This
is
about
the
safety
of
bellevue's
people.
Something
that
needs
to
be
considered
also
in
the
discussion
of
climate
change
is
that
they
were
finding
arsonists
in
washington,
oregon
and
california,
who
were
setting
fires
in
fields.
O
B
All
right,
our
next
speakers
are
coming
as
a
pair,
but
first
is
matt
jack
and
matt.
Can
you
go
ahead
and
unmute
and
then
before
the
timer
starts,
I
do
have
a
question.
Are
you
and
mr
johnson
sharing
three
minutes
or
are
you
speaking
sequentially.
B
Wonderful
then,
mr
jack,
your
time
starts
as
soon
as
you
start
talking.
P
Thank
you
kyle
good
evening,
mayor
council
members.
My
name
is
matt
jack.
I'm
the
director
of
public
policy
for
the
bellevue
downtown
association
located
at
400,
108th
avenue,
northeast
bellevue,
washington
98004,
I'm
here
this
evening
with
the
bellevue
chamber
of
commerce
to
present
our
joint
message
regarding
the
challenges
and
opportunities
facing
the
city's
budget.
You
know
please
take
a
moment
to
look
at
your
packet
to
reference
our
letter
that
was
submitted
this
morning,
I'm
kind
of
doing
a
tag.
P
Team
combo
with
my
peer
in
this
process,
mr
chris
johnson
and
I'll-
be
providing
sort
of
I'll
be
leveraging
my
remarks
to
talk
about
our
work.
So
a
little
brief
background
on
the
work.
That's
supporting
the
letter
before
you.
P
That
work
produced
a
number
of
recommendations
that
were
vetted
by
the
chambers
policy,
council
and
the
bda
board,
and
throughout
that
process
we
had
multiple
staff
check-ins
to
help
guide
us
to
help
inform
us
of
the
challenges
and
help
prepare
this
work
so
kudos
to
city
staff.
Thank
you
so
much
for
you
know
being
available
and
transparent
about
the
issues
and
guiding
us.
So
what
I
do
want
to
note
about
this.
P
The
letter
is
that
there
is
an
overwhelming
theme
and
it's
called
keep
bellevue
strong,
and
we
want
to
articulate
that
we
must
support
resiliency
so
that
bellevue
is
positioned
to
recover
and,
more
specifically
ensure
bellevue
remains
financially
stable,
while
maintaining
current
levels
of
core
services
and
continuing
capital
investments.
That
will
add
capacity
necessary
to
support
our
projected
growth.
P
The
letter
is
broken
into
two
categories.
One
is
covering
investment
priorities.
You
know
operations
and
capital
programs
that
we
deem
necessary
in
order
to
maintain
resiliency
and
help
position
us
and
bridging
the
gap,
a
section,
a
toolbox.
You
could
say
for
you
to
reference
when
working
on
the
preliminary
budget.
So
at
this
moment
I
would
like
to
end
my
remarks
and
pass
the
virtual
mic
to
chris
johnson,
but
close
by
saying
thank
you
for
your
leadership
and
attention.
B
Mayor,
what
would
I
do
without
you?
Thank
you,
mr
johnson
you're
up
next,
and
you
can
go
ahead
and
unmute
and
confirm
that
you're
able
to
speak,
and
once
you
are
we'll,
let
you
start.
Q
Q
Q
In
this
I
have
found
myself
changing
my
family's
habits
and
enjoy
in
joining
organizations
like
sustainability
ambassadors
in
the
bellevue
youth
council's
climate
action
team,
which
helped
me
learn
more
about
our
human
impact
on
the
world.
Now
I
am
working
on
publishing
blog
articles
to
further
our
community's
understanding
and
pulling
in
schools
to
take
action
for
climate.
Q
Thank
you
for
your
work,
thus
far
with
allocating
a
portion
of
the
budget
for
climate
action
planning,
and
thank
you
once
again
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
you
today.
Climate
action
planning
will
be
extremely
important
as
we
work
towards
economic
recovery
from
covet
19,
because
we
have
a
unique
opportunity
to
build
back
better.
We
have
a
chance
to
set
up
programs
and
incentives
that
bring
about
more
green
jobs.
Q
Pollution
management
and
climate
equity
rapidly
shifting
circumstances
allows
bellevue
the
opportunity
to
shape
our
own
future
and
aim
towards
important
goals
like
taking
action
for
our
climate.
When
the
rebuilding
begins,
the
city
has
to
be
ready
to
help
build
our
city
back,
cleaner,
greener
and
with
a
smaller
carbon
footprint.
Q
Making
these
changes
will
increase
community
health
increase
the
number
of
good
jobs
and
will
keep
our
air
cleaner.
As
events
like
last
week
are
bound
to
happen
more
the
farther
we
progress
without
leading
edge
climate
action.
This
summer,
I've
been
studying
what
sustainability
really
looks
like
in
relation
to
climate.
I've
been
excited
to
learn
about
the
many
innovations
and
programs.
Cities
are
using
to
make
a
difference,
and
I
want
to
see
them
happening
here
in
my
city.
Please
ensure
that
bellevue
is
aiming
for
comprehensive
climate
action
planning
in
our
city
budget.
Thank
you.
R
R
I
am
ready
to
begin
mayor,
robinson
and
council
members,
thanks
for
the
opportunity
to
share
with
you
the
budget
priorities
of
the
chamber,
bda,
joint
budget
task
force
and
thanks
to
matt
jack
for
his
excellent
summary
of
our
process
and
perhaps,
more
importantly,
our
optics.
R
S
B
Connection,
we're
gonna,
give
him
a
minute
to
to
bounce
back,
and
I'm
gonna
call
the
next
speaker,
which
is
charles
landau.
Mr
lando,
can
you
hear
me.
T
Okay
thanks,
my
name
is
charles
lando
and
I
live
in
bellevue
on
130th
place.
Northeast
I'd
like
to
speak
briefly
tonight
about
maintaining
funding
for
our
police
department
in
bellevue.
T
T
Before
the
pandemic,
I
commuted
to
an
office
downtown
for
work.
For
three
years.
On
more
than
one
occasion,
I
felt
that
my
safety
was
at
risk.
In
addition,
on
my
walk
to
and
from
the
bus
stop,
I
could
count
on
seeing
people
sleeping
in
doorways,
as
well
as
using
needles
and
sometimes
human
waste
on
the
sidewalks
and
streets.
T
T
It's
not
unusual
to
hear
about
violent
crimes
committed
in
seattle
by
perpetrators
who
have
been
arrested
literally
dozens
of
times
previously,
the
police
know
they
can't
count
on
support
from
the
city
government.
So
it's
not
worth
it
for
them
to
try
to
enforce
the
laws,
and
this
isn't
just
a
personal
observation.
T
The
situation
was
thoroughly
documented
in
a
video
called
seattle's
dying
by
como
news,
which
can
be
seen
online.
There
are
a
number
of
reasons
why
my
family
chooses
to
live
in
bellevue.
An
important
one
is
that
in
the
past,
we've
been
able
to
count
on
a
professional
police
force
to
help
maintain
a
safe
and
clean
city.
T
B
All
right-
and
I
think
we
have
mr
johnson
back-
I'm
going
to
promote
you
again
chris.
Can
you
unmute
we're
gonna,
give
you
another
shot
here.
I
think
this
is
indicative
of
the
times
we're
living
in.
B
All
right,
I'm
still
working
on
it,
so
I'm
gonna
move
forward
to
denny
andrews.
B
Denny,
can
you
are
you
able
to
join
us.
B
U
U
To
put
it
more
in
perspective
of
bellevue
passing
any
kind
of
defunding
is,
I
think,
viewed
as
a
weakness,
not
just
in
funding,
but
in
fact
in
resolve
in
in
bellevue
itself
it
puts
bellevue
as
a
target
for
demonstrations
and
the
demonstrations
themselves
are,
I
guess,
all
right,
but
it's
always
the
anarchy.
That
inevitably
follows.
All
you
have
to
do
is
take
a
look
at
the
demonstrations
we
had,
along
with
the
ones
in
seattle
and
you'll,
see
the
same
people
that
showed
up
on
video.
U
I
don't
believe
for
an
instant
that
any
savings
or
defunding
would
be
return
to
the
taxpayer.
Pardon
me
if
that
sounds
a
little
cynical.
The
savings
are
really
an
issue.
You
could
look
at
the
roads
and
parks
and
put
projects
out
on
bid
who
hasn't
seen
about
six
people
standing
around
on
a
road
when
they're
talking
and
not
doing
much
work.
U
B
R
Let's
take
a
look
at
the
operating
budget.
First
of
all,
we
ask
you
to
continue
investments
in
covid,
19
response
and
economic
recovery,
maintain
current
levels
of
funding
for
police
and
fire
services
and
support
health
and
human
services
from
members
of
our
community
who
are
struggling
to
meet
basic
needs
on
the
capital
side.
Traffic
is
light
now,
but
it
will
be
back.
This
is
the
time
to
invest
in
mobility
projects
that
will
enable
us
to
accommodate
the
growth
in
employment
and
population,
which
we
know
is
coming.
R
Our
letter
contains
a
list
of
investments
that
will
help
us
get
there.
How
do
we
bridge
the
gap
between
proposed
expenditures
and
revenue?
Cutting
core
services
now
will
be
difficult
to
restore
in
future
biennia.
However,
we
caution
against
relying
too
heavily
on
a
capital
to
operating
transfer,
at
least
to
support
one-time
expenditures.
B
O
N
N
And
yet
I
also
saw
the
negative
environment
that
developed
from
that
the
pollution
from
transportation,
cars
and
so
forth,
and
it
was
sad
to
see
a
lovely
city
that
I
grew
up
in
with
orchards
and
so
forth
that
the
city
didn't
plan
for
watching
carbon
output.
If
you
will
in
the
city-
and
that
is
something
that
I've
seen
in
other
cities,
in
fact
I'm
calling
you.
N
This
was
important
enough
for
me,
I'm
in
a
city
in
california
right
now
that
was
developed
around
oil,
large
oil
companies
and
not
developed
with
the
environment
in
mind,
and
I
was
appalled
to
be
in
this
city
because
it's
just
I
hate
to
be
blunt,
but
it's
really
an
ugly
city
and
then
adding
on
to
that
all
of
the
the
covet
issues
and
the
fires
and
so
forth
that
have
come
through
it's
a
very
difficult
city
to
be
in
they.
I
don't
know
the
whole
history
did
not
plan.
N
Take
some
assertive
action,
really
take
a
look
at
what
we
have
in
the
budget
be
creative
in
some
way,
and
I
thank
you.
First
of
all
for
signing
the
commitment
letter
for
the
k4c
utilize,
their
ideas
they
have
also
in
working
with
their
several
cities.
They're
working
with
in
joining
this,
we
can
be,
I
think,
creative
on
some
of
our
ideas
that
we
do
so.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
all
the
work
you're
doing
now
and
encourage
you
to
be
assertive
in
the
budget
and
creative
with
it
and
going
forward.
Thank
you.
V
W
V
V
I
have
concerns
that
cuts
will
be
made
to
the
budget
in
the
area
of
human
services
in
the
face
of
the
budget
deficits.
This
pandemic
has
made
life
economically
precarious.
For
many
bellevue
citizens
is
difficult
enough
for
people
who
live
paycheck
to
paycheck
during
normal
times,
but
the
toll
this
pandemic
has
taken
financially
emotionally
and
physically
on.
So
many
of
us
warrants
increased
funding
to
human
services,
not
a
decrease.
So
I
ask
you
to
please
consider
the
least
fortunate
among
us.
V
X
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Council
members.
My
name
is
stephen
scharkanski.
I
am
a
resident
of
northeast
bellevue
and
I
also
operate
a
business
out
of
my
home
here
in
the
city,
I'm
adding
my
voice
to
support
maintaining
the
current
level
of
funding
for
the
police
department.
X
That
seems
like
such
an
absurd
and
irresponsible
notion
that
it's
it
I'm
surprised
it's
even
being
discussed
frankly,
but
but
here
we
are
one
of
the
reasons
that
my
wife
and
I
chose
to
move
to
bellevue
from
seattle
four
years
ago
is
because
you
have
you,
the
council
and
the
rest
of
city
government
have
a
much
better,
led
and
administered
city
than
seattle,
and
one
of
the
reasons
is
public
safety,
which
comes
from
having
a
police
department
which
has
the
political
support
and
the
funding
to
do
a
proper
job.
X
So
I
encourage
you
to
to
maintain
that
level
of
support
in
funding
for
our
police,
who
are
doing
a
wonderful
job
and
indeed,
as
the
seattle
city
council,
moves
with
their
foolish
notion
of
defunding
their
police
department.
I
fear
that
it
will
end
up.
Seattle
will
end
up
exporting
some
of
its
crime
problems
regionally
and
that
we
may
even
need
to
increase
the
size
of
our
police
department
to
handle
the
unfortunate
side
effects
from
that.
Thank.
B
Y
Y
I'm
ready
so
yes,
I'm
just
going
to
speak
from
my
heart.
I
don't
have
a
written
speech.
I've
I've
lived
in
bellevue
since
19
well
worked
in
bellevue
since
1976,
and
I've
owned
a
home
out
here
in
the
crossroads
area
on
164th,
just
by
interlake,
high
school
and
and
sherwood
elementary,
but
my
wife
and
I
you
know
we
raised
our
kids
here.
Y
We
ran
a
business
in
bellevue
for
25
30
years,
roughly
and
and
we've
felt
safe
for
just
about,
I
mean
every
every
year
that
we've
lifted,
we've
never
had
any
break-ins
in
our
house
or
never
feared
anything
we've.
This
last
couple
years
ago,
when
I
was
at
the
mall,
I
was
out
in
front
of
the
jewelry
store.
When
I
thought
there
were
some
angry
customers
slamming
their
hands
onto
the
table
when
it
was,
it
was
people
smashing
the
the.
Y
But
this
person
was
staring
at
me
walking
into
our
cul-de-sac,
and
I
I
think
that
the
thought
of
having
our
police
force
reduced
it
really.
It
worries
me
a
lot.
I
went
through
a
time
in
my
business
back
in
the
70s
when
we
were
robbed
at
gunpoint
and
the
police
were
there
literally
within
a
minute
after
he
left
and
I
believe
he
was
caught.
It's
been
40
some
years
since
I've.
Y
You
know
since
that
time,
but
I
feel
I've
felt
safe
and
every
police
officer
that
I've
ever
spoken
with
and
had
interaction
with
in
this
city
has
been
more
than
a
gentleman
and
a
lady,
and
I
just
want
to
ask
that
you
not
be
fun
to
police,
I'm
all
for
training
for
mitigating
and
de-escalating
in
a
way
that
is
safer
for
the
possible
criminal.
Y
Obviously,
police
have
to
defend
their
own
lives
and
the
lives
of
the
the
public,
but
as
far
as
taking
budget
money
away
from
the
police
department,
I
think
would
be
very
detrimental
to
the
public
safety,
and
I,
my
wife,
and
I
you
know,
are
have
our
taxes
for
our
our
home
is
more
than
doubled
since
we've
been
here
tripled
and
the
growth
out
here
in
the
crossroads
area
is
just
amazing
how
many
apartments
and
condos,
and
just
people
everywhere
compared
to
you
know
even
10
years
ago,
so
the
thought
of
having
less
policemen
less
police.
Y
B
Mayor
that
ends
the
sign
up
list,
but
I
do
see
additional
people
on
the
meeting
if
anyone
who's
joining
us
within
zoom
is
wishing
to
speak
tonight,
can
you
go
ahead
and
use
the
zoom
feature
to
raise
your
hand,
we've
already
heard
from
our
one
phone
in
caller,
but
the
phone
number
is
on
the
agenda.
If
anyone
feels
moved
to
join
and
I'll
be
looking
for
you,
I
will
call
on
people
in
order
when
their
hand
was
raised
the
first
to
raise
their
hand,
and
so
far
only
just
for
context
is
heidi
dean.
B
B
Yes,
we
can
thank
you
very
much
sorry
about
that
and
when
you're
ready
go
ahead
and
start
speaking.
Z
Super
thank
you
kyle.
My
name
is
heidi
dean.
I
live
at
11661,
southeast
56th
street
in
newport
hills
so
good
evening,
mayor
deputy
mayor
council
members
staff
and
my
fellow
bellevue
citizens.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
provide
input
on
the
budget.
This
is
the
first
time
that
I've
done
so
and
first
of
all,
I'd
like
to
give
a
high
five
to
noel
young
for
her
previous
comments
regarding
preservation
of
funding
for
our
police
department.
Z
Please
consider
me
a
plus
one
for
everything
that
she
so
eloquently
said.
I'd
like
to
expand
on
her
comments
by
pointing
out
the
importance
of
maintaining
the
bellevue
police
department's
relationship
with
the
bellevue
school
district
via
the
school
resource
officer
program.
I
know
there's
been
a
lot
of
pressure
to
sever
that
relationship,
but
I
encourage
you
to
think
very
long
and
hard
before
making
budget
cuts
that
would
require
discontinuation
of
that
program.
Z
School
resource
officers
are
not
the
enemy.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
a
school
resource
officer
can
quite
often
be
the
difference
in
an
at-risk
youth
life.
A
properly
supported
and
trained
school
resource
officer
can
help
identify
students
who
might
be
heading
down
the
wrong
path
and
help
direct
them
to
resources
that
can
turn
their
life
around.
Z
Z
When
I
was
attending
ferndale
high
school
in
the
mid
to
late
80s,
the
dinosaur
days,
we
didn't
have
a
school
resource
officer.
We
had
mr
bredwick
a
district
employee
who
was
basically
the
civilian
equivalent
of
a
school
resource
officer,
30
plus
years
later,
and
in
a
much
larger
city.
These
are
different
times.
Our
schools
need
more
than
a
mr
bredwick,
but
please
don't
tell
him
that.
Z
I
said
that
and
with
all
that
said,
I'm
in
support
of
creation
of
affordable
housing
that
would
allow
our
police
officers
to
live
in
the
neighborhoods
and
the
communities
in
which
they
do
their
police
work
to
be
able
to
get
to
know
the
the
people
that
they
are
working
with
and
have
a
much
closer
relationship.
I
I
think
that
that
is
important.
Z
I
read
a
lot
on
some
of
these
facebook
pages
about
bellevue
old
retro
about
me
and
that
sort
of
thing
and
there's
a
lot
of
talk
about
the
police
officers
who
were
able
to
live
in
their
neighborhoods
and
their
communities,
there's
a
lot
of
fond
memories,
and
I
think
that
there
was
a
much
there
was
a
tight
relationship
there.
So
I
encourage
you
to
look
into
that.
Thank
you
again
for
allowing
me
this
time
to
speak.
B
Thank
you.
We
have.
We
have
one
additional
hand
from
someone
named
ruth
ruth
when
I
I'm
gonna
unmute
you
if
you
can
say
your
first
and
last
name
and
then
an
address
for
the
the
record.
We'd
appreciate
that
and
then
you
can
start
speaking
hello.
Can
you
hear.
AA
Me
we
can
thank
you
hi.
My
name
is
ruth
lipscombe
and
I
live
at
101
cascade
key
in
bellevue,
and
I
hadn't
planned
to
speak
tonight.
I
was
just
going
to
listen
until
I
heard
many
people
saying
how
much
they
wanted
the
police
not
to
be
defunded,
and
I
think
that
I
would
like
to
add
a
perspective
that
it's
not
so
much
the
funding
that
we
need
to
be
looking
at.
It's.
AA
We
need
to
be
listening
to
the
members
of
our
community,
who
are
maybe
not
as
supportive
and
have
not
had
as
good
of
interactions
with
the
police,
and
I
would
like
to
bring
up
the
fact
that
I
believe
the
police
officers
union
contract
expires
at
the
end
of
2020,
and
I
would
like
to
ask
that
the
city
not
sign
a
new
contract
until
after
the
process
to
review
the
public
safety.
AA
The
pledge
that
you
city
council
members,
made
recently
until
after
that
process
is
finished,
because
I
think
that
there's
the
opportunity
in
that
contract
to
perhaps
put
in
a
little
bit
more
transparency
and
accountability
than
is
currently
in
the
police
contract,
and
I
think
that
that
would
do
a
lot
to
increase
the
confidence
that
the
citizens
of
bellevue
have
around
the
police
and
where
their
funding
is
going.
So
my
only
input
is
to
please
consider
the
contract
as
continuing
to
be
open
until
after
that
process
finishes.
Thank
you
very.
AA
A
Any
opposed
okay,
thank
you
very
much.
It
was
great
to
hear
from
everybody
actually,
okay,
we
have
two
study
session
items
and
I
know
in
one
of
them
ken
carlson
is
going
to
be
speaking
to
us,
and
this
is
going
to
be
his
last
meeting
with
the
city
of
bellevue.
So
I
I
just
wanted
to
give
a
little
tribute
to
him.
A
Fire
marshal
ken
carlson
is
retiring
on
september
30th
after
a
36
36-year
career
in
public
sector,
his
career
started
at
the
city
of
kirkland
as
a
building
inspector
and
finished
there
as
a
building
official
and
fire
marshal
in
2005,
and
he
became
a
fire
marshal
for
our
department
in
2005
and
since
that
time
has
worked
hard
tirelessly
on
behalf
of
the
bilby's
community,
towards
community
risk
reduction
in
support
of
fire
prevention
division
and
in
2018
he
helped
lead
a
major
update
to
the
bellevue's
building
and
fire
codes.
A
He
has
distinguished
himself
as
a
leader
throughout
the
city.
Can
we
thank
you
for
your
dedicated
service
to
the
bellevue
community
and
wish
you
the
very
best
in
the
next
chapter
of
your
life,
and
we
got
a
lot
of
positive
comments
from
your
co-workers.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
all
you've
done
for
our
city.
A
H
N
H
H
Just
by
way
of
background
washington,
state
law
requires
updates
to
the
construction
codes
to
happen
on
a
periodic
basis
on
tonight's
staff
are
here
to
provide
the
council
an
overview
of
those
changes
to
bellevue's
building
code.
Tonight
a
staff
is
seeking
direction
to
bring
back
ordinances,
amending
the
bell
reconstruction
codes
and
incorporating
an
abatement
of
dangerous
buildings
called
in
the
uniform
housing
code.
H
As
new
chapters
in
the
bellevue
construction
code,
delby
city
code-
excuse
me
joining
us
this
evening
is
mike
brennan,
the
director
of
development
services,
greg
schrader
building
official
chris
nathanis,
the
consulting
attorney
in
the
same
department,
ken
carlson,
as
the
mayor
just
gave
a
tribute
to
from
the
fire
department,
along
with
fire
chief
jay
hagan.
With
that
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over.
I
believe
to
mike
brennan
for
the
beginning
of
the
presentation,
hi.
AB
Thank
you,
mr
miyaki,
good
evening,
mia
robinson,
deputy
mayor
of
new
house
and
council
members
greg
if
you
can
put
that
up
on
full
spring.
Thank
you
and
click
to
the
next
slide.
AB
So
this
evening,
as
mr
miyake
mentioned-
and
we
are
here
seeking
council's
direction
for
the
adoption
of
updated
codes,
the
building
and
fire
codes
and
electrical
codes,
including
state
and
local
amendments,
we're
also
proposing
to
include
language
from
the
uniform
housing
code
and
the
abatement
of
dangerous
building
codes
into
the
bellevue
city
code,
as
those
codes
are
no
longer
published
and
supported
so
incorporating
those
languages
gives
us
the
ability
to
amend
and
administer
those
locally,
and
we
are
also
proposing
a
phased
approach.
Great
next
slide,
please.
AB
So
the
agenda
for
this
evening
is
essentially
to
discuss
the
code
process
very
quick
overview
of
as
a
reminder
of
how
the
state
code,
adoption
and
local
adoption
process
works.
We'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
the
changes
to
the
state
and
model
codes,
so
they
understand
what
those
are.
Although
we
don't
have
much
of
an
ability
to
amend
those,
I
will
explain
that
as
well
and
then
we'll
discuss
a
few
local
amendments
that
are
being
proposed
and
then
a
phased
implementation
date.
Next
slide
greg.
AB
AB
Yes,
thank
you
perfect.
That's
exactly
where
you
want
to
be
so
real,
quick,
the
the
codes,
the
model
codes
that
they're
referred
to
are
published
nationally,
they're
developed
in
a
national
process.
Then
those
codes
are
adopted
by
the
state
by
reference
and
amended
by
the
state.
AB
The
local
jurisdictions
are
then
required
to
adopt
those
codes,
as
as
the
state
has
determined,
with
the
accompanying
state
amendments,
and
then
we
also
as
a
city,
have
the
ability
to
amend
those
codes.
So
next
slide,
please
kyle.
So
this
this
graphic
to
slide
five.
It
really
shows
that
process
the
national
process
of
development
of
the
codes.
The
international
codes
primarily
happens
on
a
three-year
cycle.
AB
The
state
then
engages
in
a
local
or
a
statewide
process
to
set
the
minimum
standards
for
the
statewide
adoption
and
then
again,
the
step
that
we're
currently
at
is
the
local
adoption
process.
Where
cities
and
counties
can
adopt
the
codes,
they
can
amend
them,
but
they
can't
be
less
restrictive
than
the
state
code
requirements,
and
if
we
were
to
amend
one
through
codes
that
affect
one
through
four
housing
units,
we
would
be
required
to
go
back
to
the
state
to
get
those
amendments
approved
as
well.
AB
S
Mike
good
evening,
everyone,
so
we
started
the
process
for
our
local
adoption
back
in
august
of
2019,
and
we
kicked
that
off
with
open
houses
that
we
sent
invitations
out
to
everyone
who
had
obtained
a
permit
over
the
last
year
from
the
city
as
well
as
another,
a
number
of
stakeholder
groups
which
included
master
builders,
the
american
institute
of
architects
and
bulma
the
building
owners
and
managers
association.
So
we
were
really
pleased
with
the
turnout
that
we
had
at
all
three
of
the
open
houses.
S
Sometimes
it's
difficult
to
get
high
attendance
at
those,
but
we
had
maybe
25
to
30
attendees
at
each
of
those,
and
that
was
really
a
good
turnout.
So
of
course
we're
speaking
this
evening.
We're
hoping
for
asking
for
council
direction
on
possible
adoption
in
the
next
month
and,
as
mike
noted,
we're
proposing
phase
one
and
phase
two
implementation
on
october
29th
of
this
year
and
february
1st
of
2021,
which
matches
the
date
that
are
stipulated
by
the
wash
by
washington
state
law.
Next
slide.
S
Please
so
the
feedback
that
we
received
at
the
open
houses,
a
great
deal
of
it,
was
focused
on
the
energy
code,
a
lot
of
concern
from
single
family
builders,
there's,
certainly
considerable
impact
to
single
family,
as
well
as
commercial
and
multi-family,
and
a
lot
of
the
dialogue
that
we
had
with
them
pertained
to
how
they
can
become
more
involved
in
the
state
process.
Earlier
by
the
time
the
energy
code
gets
to
us,
it's
already
been
established
in
the
estate
code
and
we're
mandated
to
adopt
that.
We
also
had
some
discussion
about
single-family
electrical
disconnect.
S
We
can
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that
in
a
moment,
and
there
were
three
issues
that
pertained
to
high-rise
design,
and
I
will
note
that
of
these
five
bullets,
the
high-rise
firefighter
air
replenishment
system
is
the
only
one
of
the
five
that
is
proposed
for
a
local
amendment.
The
codes
next
slide,
please.
S
S
I
mentioned
earlier
that
there
are
significant
changes
to
the
energy
code.
These
bullets
identify
some
of
those,
the
electrical
readiness
for
gas
heaters
and,
of
course,
the
energy
efficiency
requirements
continue.
The
increase
with
each
edition
of
the
code
next
slide,
the
two
probably
the
two
most
significant
changes
for
electrical
have
to
do
with
requirements
for
one
and
two
family
dwellings.
S
W
So,
in
addition
to
the
updates
to
the
building
and
fire
codes,
we
are
also
asking
council
to
consider
incorporation
of
the
abatement
of
dangerous
building
code
as
a
new
chapter
2320,
and
the
uniform
housing
code
is
a
new
chapter.
23
22
in
the
bellevue
city
code,
as
mike
mentioned,
both
codes
are
1997
editions
originally
published
by
the
international
council
of
building
officials
and
the
city
adopted
these
codes
by
reference.
W
W
W
W
There
is,
however,
no
amendments
that
would
change
the
substantive
requirements
that
all
property
owners
have
to
address
if
they
own
a
dangerous
building.
Next
slide,
please
as
to
the
uniform
housing
code.
The
purpose
of
this
code
is
to
require
minimum
standards
for
the
use,
occupancy
and
maintenance
of
all
residential
buildings
and
structures
within
the
city.
W
W
So
for
this
code
we
are
proposing
amendments
to
bring
the
provisions
to
current
standards,
as
you
may
expect.
Our
use
and
occupancy
standards
for
residential
buildings
have
changed
since
1997,
but
it
is
worth
noting
that,
just
like
the
abatement
of
dangerous
building
code,
we
are
limiting
proposed
changes
only
to
conformance
and
consistency.
Consistency
changes
so
next
slide.
Please,
with
that
I'd
like
to
turn
the
presentation
to
ken
carlson
to
go
over
the
fire
code
changes
ken.
F
Thank
you
good
evening,
mayor
deputy
mayor
members
of
city
council.
This
slide
highlights
several
changes
that
come
with
the
2018
fire
code.
The
first
is,
what's
called
on-demand
fueling.
F
This
is
a
relatively
new
industry
that
had
its
has
its
origins
in
the
bay
area,
and
basically,
what
happens
is
that,
with
the
use
of
a
smartphone,
an
individual
can
ask
for
gas
to
be
delivered
to
wherever
their
car
happens,
to
be
parked.
The
fire
code
has
provisions
in
it
that
regulate
where
vehicles
can
be
fueled.
F
Training,
that's
required
for
personnel
that
are
doing
the
fueling
and
the
requirements
relative
to
the
vehicles
that
carry
the
fuel
mobile
food
trucks
also
appear
for
the
first
time
in
the
fire
code
for
bellevue.
This
is
not
much
of
a
change
when
we
adopted
the
2015
international
fire
code,
we
implemented
provisions
that
regulate
food
trucks.
F
This
slide
highlights
the
proposed
amendments
for
the
international
fire
code.
The
first
is
in
building
radio
systems
for
18
month
time
period.
I
chaired
a
task
force
that
included
radio
system
operators,
building
owners,
designers
of
systems
and
other
fire
departments
all
with
an
eye
towards
two
things.
F
One
is
to
ensure
that
these
systems
operate
as
well
as
they
can
in
buildings,
particularly
when
the
p
cern
radio
system
is
implemented
in
in
2022
2023,
and
also
to
make
sure
that
we
we
weren't
asking
building
owners
to
put
in
systems
or
components
of
systems
that
really
didn't
add
value
to
them.
F
The
second
is
elevator
maintenance
provisions.
We've
had
some
challenges
over
the
last
three
plus
years
with
buildings,
particularly
those
residential
buildings
that
are
served
by
single
elevators,
and
our
experience
has
been
when
these
buildings
had
elevators,
and
I
would
describe
them
as
chronically
out
of
service
that
they
would
instruct
elevator
dependent
residents
to
call
the
fire
department
to
transport
them
both
in
and
out
of
the
building.
F
And
it
took
a
lot
of
sitting
down
with
the
building
owners
to
convince
them
that
that
was
not
the
right
use
of
fire
department
resources
and
to
implement
certain
things
that
are
now
in
the
proposed
ordinance
basic
things
like
notifying
residents.
When
the
elevators
are
out
of
service,
when
they
could
expect
to
see
them
back
in
service
to
plan
for
the
occurrence
of
elevators
out
of
service.
So
what
would
you
do
for
those
elevator
dependent
residents
when
the
elevators
are
out
of
service
to
require,
when
you
have
a
residential
building?
F
That's
served
by
a
single
elevator
that
you
have
the
industry's
highest
level
service
agreement
so
that
you
minimize
the
down
time
of
elevators
when
they
are
out
of
service
and
last
but
not
least,
is
if
the
elevator
is
out
of
service
for
72
hours
consecutively,
that
alternate
housing
has
provided
for
those
elevator
dependent
residents.
So
the
first
three
items
I
just
identified
are
all
areas
that
we
ultimately
reached
agreement
with
on
the
buildings
that
had
those
challenges.
F
We
had
no
authority
to
ask
them
to
provide
alternate
housing,
but
that's
a
highlight
of
those
provisions,
and
then
last
but
not
least,
is
a
firefighter
air
replenishment
system.
For
those
of
you
that
were
on
council
back
in
2018,
you
passed
an
ordinance
that
required
all
new
high-rise
buildings
to
have
firefighter
air
replenishment
systems,
as
we've
had
time
to
think
through
the
logistics
of
those
systems.
F
We
determined
that
we
needed
to
make
some
changes
so
there's
enough
changes
that
we're
repealing
what's
on
the
books
or
proposing
to
and
proposing
new
requirements,
they're
essentially
cost
neutral
provisions.
F
We've
done
extensive
outreach
with
all
of
the
building
owners
that
are
affected
by
those
proposed
changes
and,
as
I
said,
they're
essentially
cost
neutral,
but
they
get
us
to
a
place
that
these
systems
will
operate
as
we
need
them
to
next
slide.
Please
so
mike,
I
think,
gave
you
a
quick
highlight
of
these
implementation
dates,
but
we
have
the
national
electrical
code
that
goes
into
effect
on
october
29th
by
state
law.
F
We
are
proposing
changes
to
well.
I
should
say
that
the
state
is
also
mandating
that
the
construction
codes
and
fire
codes
go
into
effect.
The
2018
versions
on
february
1st
of
next
year
we're
asking
that,
in
addition
to
the
electrical
code
that
you
implement
provisions,
I
went
over
three
of
them.
The
fourth
one
is
the
fire
inspection
fee,
so
we're
proposing
some
minor
changes
to
fire
inspection
fees
that
get
at
issues
that
we
highlighted
when
the
fees
went
into
effect.
F
F
Some
minor
changes
for
three
distinct
building
types
and
the
proposed
changes
would
actually
decrease
the
fees
for
those
affected
buildings,
we're
also
proposing,
in
the
fee
chapter
that
we
institute
late
fees
for
individuals
that
file
late
for
their
confidence
test
program
fees.
So
if
they're
more
than
five
days
late,
that
there's
a
ten
dollar
late
fee,
that's
associated
with
that
right.
Now,
there's
nothing
on
the
books
that
that
has
a
bookend.
F
That's
contained
in
that
I
already
went
over
the
proposed
changes
to
the
inbuilding
radio
systems
that
section
510
elevator
maintenance
in
section
609
revisions
to
the
firefighter
air
replenishment,
six
system,
which
is
in
chat,
section
919
and
the
national
electrical
codes
we're
proposing
that
those
go
into
effect
on
october
29th
and
the
balance
on
february
1st
of
next
year,
and
I
think
that
takes
us
to
the
last
slide
and
any
questions
or
direction
that
council
would
have
for
us.
A
C
Off
there
we
go
yeah.
Thank
you,
oh
very
good.
I
I
really
appreciate
going
through
this
and
all
the
upgrades
and
getting
things
lined
up
well
and,
of
course,
with
the
changes
in
national
codes
and
all
and
the
the
only
real
question
I
have
or
a
request
is
that
I
would
like
you
to
look
at
the
question
of
eliminating
or
reducing
fees
and
fire
inspection
fees
in
affordable
housing
circumstances.
C
Other
cities
are
doing
that.
As
I
understand
I've
checked
on
some
of
them,
and
you
know
it's
just
another
way.
We
can
help
stretch
the
resources
that
we're
already
putting
into
affordable
housing
and
and
other
organizations
are
so.
If
you
could
look
at
that
and
report
back,
I
would
appreciate-
and
I
think
other
council
members
would-
and
I
know
we
have
to
balance
these
things,
but
you've
been
doing
a
good
job
of
balancing
it.
C
You
know
the
last
time
around
and
changing
from
the
prior
way
you've
handled
this,
so
I
I
think
that
would
be
a
great
thing
for
us
to
look
at
and
part
of
our
efforts
to
make
affordable
housing
real.
Thank
you.
E
You
mayor
well,
first
of
all
great
presentation
and
thank
you
mike
greg
trisna
and
ken
ken.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
service
to
our
city,
I'll,
miss
you
and
certainly
hope
you
enjoy
your
retirement
as
well.
E
So
clearly
we're
mandated
to
implement
a
lot
of
these
international
state
codes.
So
my
and
a
lot
of
them
quite
frankly
make
a
lot
of
sense
and
we
want
to
be
up
to
code
in
every
sense
of
the
word
to
ensure
safety
for
our
residents.
You
know
be
it
residential
or
commercial.
Just
the
question.
We've
got
two
two
items,
one
for
the,
because
I
find
it
kind
of
fascinating
the
kind
of
the
fuel
on
demand.
E
So
if
if
a
company
did
want
to
because
I
don't
believe,
there's
one
offering
that
service
in
bellevue
right
now,
but
if
they
were,
what
would
that
look
like?
Would
they
still
be
able
to
to
get
a
permit
or
to
be
able
to
conduct
business
in
the
city
of
bellevue?
What
would
be
the
the
steps
to
do
that
and
then
my
other
question
would
just
be
around
single-family
homes
and
any
undue
burden
that
they
might
have
to
address
in
order
to
develop
more
single
family
homes.
E
It
sounded
as
if
there
was
an
issue
there
with
an
additional
electrical
mandate
they
would
have
to
implement
there.
Would
there
be
a
significant
up
charge
in
order
to
to
get
up
to
code
on
that,
so
those
those
would
be.
My
two
questions.
Thank
you.
F
Certainly
so
your
question
about
what
it
would
take
to
get
a
permit
in
bellevue,
first
off
to
my
knowledge,
nobody's
offering
that
service
in
bellevue
we've
had
some
inquiries.
F
If
somebody
wanted
to
do
that,
sort
of
business
they'd
have
to
apply
for
an
operational
permit,
they
would
need
to
show
us
where
they
plan
to
to
do
this,
because
the
fire
code
regulates.
For
example,
you
can't
perform
this
on
a
public
street.
F
You
can't
perform
it
on
a
building
or
under
a
building,
so
it
would
have
to
be
in
a
parking
lot
if
you
will
and
you'd
have
to
have
a
property
owner
willing
to
let
them
do
that
and
we'd
need
to
make
sure
that
their
vehicles
and
personnel
met
requirements
of
of
code.
So,
frankly,
I
don't
see
a
lot
of
opportunity
in
bellevue
for
that
to
take
place,
but
who
knows
we'll
see
what
what
happens
in
the
long
run.
S
Deputy
mayor
new
in-house
on
your
question
regarding
the
electrical
disconnect
one
just
to
clarify
it
does
not
apply
to
existing
buildings.
It
would
only
be
new
construction.
My
understanding
is
that
it's
not
a
significant
cost
increase,
but
I
can
certainly
get
some
more
information
on
that
and
share
with
you.
That'd
be
great.
Thank.
E
You
and
just
one
quick
one
more
question
about
the
food
trucks
is
because
they're
great,
I
love
to
see
them
around
the
city
and
outside
of
businesses,
et
cetera,
so
just
to
clarify,
so
they
get
one
permit.
That
permit
will
be
valid
throughout
king
county
or
maybe
even
throughout
the
state.
Then,
or
is
it
just
for
king
county
that
as
long
as
they
have
that
permit,
they
can
operate
anywhere.
E
AC
All
right,
thank
you
and
congratulations
on
your
retirement,
ken
I'm
sure,
you're
looking
forward
to
that
time
to
not
have
to
go
into
work,
so
I
will
say
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
support
the
comments
around
looking
for
ways
that
we
can
reduce
fees
for
affordable
housing
and
also
looking
for
weight.
I
appreciate
the
comment
about
transferring
or
allowing
accepting
licenses
for
food
trucks
or
from
other
from
any
fire
department.
AC
AD
AD
Yes,
you've
been
doing
a
wonderful
job
over
the
years,
so
I
don't
have
any
specific
questions
because
it's
being
asked
primarily
by
deputy
mayor,
I
think
the
most
important
part
is
that
you're
making
the
food
trucks
so
that
they
only
have
to
have
one
permit
rather
than
you
know,
meeting
different
requirements.
AD
So
I
think
that
is
a
that's
a
wonderful
consideration.
The
question
is,
you
know
how
do
we
coordinate
with
all
the
other
cities
to
make
sure
that
we
all
agree?
You
know
to
the
same
requirements,
so
maybe
you
can
say
a
couple
words
on
that.
The
second
one
is
just
want
to
mention
about
this
gasoline
thing.
Yeah.
You
know
the
the
it
seems
to
be
very
interesting
service.
AD
But
again
I
think
there's
certain,
but
the
question
was
asked
of
you
by
wwe,
but
you
answered
properly
is
that
there
are
other
requirements
have
to
meet
it's
not
just
so
simple,
just
go
on
to
the
somebody's
somewhere
and
you
can
say
we're
gonna
get
your
car
filled
in
and
start
a
business.
So
I
assume
you
know
there
are
other
requirements
and
about
licensing
and
whatnot,
so
I
hope
you
know
those
things
will
be
obviously
considered.
F
So
we
work
extensively
with
other
agencies
in
what
we
call
king
county
fire
zone
one.
So
we
meet
on
a
monthly
basis.
We
also
have
a
king
county
fire
marshal's
association
that
meets
on
a
quarterly
basis
and
both
food
trucks
and
mobile
fueling
are
topics
that
we
have
talked
a
lot
about,
they're
on
our
work
plan
to
develop
consistent
application
of
of
those
requirements.
F
A
Hey
council
members
on.
I
Yes,
thank
you,
and
I
too
wish
you
well
in
your
retirement.
Ken
being
a
farm
marshal
is
not
easy,
there's
a
lot
of
responsibility
there,
so
I
hope
that
you
get
some
time
to
relax
and
enjoy
yourself.
So
many
things
that
I
appreciate
about
this
presentation.
I
You
know
the
thoroughness
of
the
work
to
make
sure
that
our
codes
are
have
conformance
and
consistency
with
the
the
international
and
the
state
building
codes.
So
thank
you
for
that.
A
couple
things
I
want
to
highlight
that
I
appreciate
the
one
about
making
sure
that
if
there
are
elevators,
that
is
a
single
access
that
we
actually
do
make
sure
that
folks
that
live
there
are
going
to
be
taken
care
of.
I
If
there's
going
to
be
extended
shutdown,
because
I
can
only
imagine
if
there's
an
emergency,
how
they
would
actually
get
that
help,
I
see
a
lot
of
areas
about
fire
prevention,
so
I
appreciate
that
I
also
saw
that
from
the
standpoint
of
the
energy
code
that
there's
a
solar
readiness
in
there
now
for
buildings
of
a
certain
height.
I
I
So
the
idea
that
there
is
a
a
combustion
source
that
may
be
out
in
the
community
is
a
concern
to
me
and
then
lastly,
I'm
super
excited
about
the
fact
that
that
wood
can
be
used
for
up
to
18
stories
in
high-rise
buildings,
because
I
think
that
that's
an
opportunity
for
us
to
look
at
buildings
in
a
different
way
and
perhaps
have
some
opportunities
for
some
innovation.
D
Thanks,
I
have
three
questions,
but
first
I
want
to
join
my
colleagues
in
bon
voyage
and
ken.
I
don't
know
what
we're
gonna
do.
You've
been
the
only
fire
marshal
that
I've
been
working
with
and
it's
been
a
long
time.
You've
definitely
earned
your
retirement
so
really
appreciate
all
your
time
and
energy
you
put
into
making
bellevue
safer
and
better,
and
I
enjoy
your
retirement
because
I
do
believe
you've
earned
it.
D
So,
for
my
three
questions,
some
of
the
what
the
question
about
mobile
fueling
has
been
asked,
but
I
wanted
to
make
about
the
spill
prevention.
I
think
that's
an
excellent
point.
It's
one
that
I'm
concerned
about.
D
I
understand
that
we
wouldn't
allow
that
to
happen
on
public
on
public
property
or
public
rights
of
way
and
that
you'd
have
to
get
permission
from
the
underlying
property
owner,
but
gas
stations
are
one
of
those
facilities
where
there's
a
lot
of
environmental
spills
and
remediation
that's
needed,
and
we
just
can't
spread
that
all
around
I'm
really
concerned
about
the
environmental
impacts
of
having
fuel
dispensed
pretty
much
anywhere
in
the
city
other
than
public
property.
D
Now
it's
one
thing:
if
you
have
run
out
of
gas
and
triple
a
is
bringing
you
a
gallon
of
gas
that
is
but
having
a
a
company
come
to
your
business
and
fuel
up
your
cars
or
fuel
up
your
fleet
is
a
whole
other
issue,
and
how
do
we
are
we
allowed
to
prohibit
that
kind
of
service,
except
in
an
emergency?
F
So
the
answer
that
question-
the
short
answer
would
be:
yes,
we
we
could
prohibit
it.
There
are
some
agencies.
Redmond
is
one
that
will
prohibit
that
sort
of
fueling
in
most
of
the
cities
from
an
environmental
standpoint,
because
they
have
aquifers
to
protect.
That's
really
not
our
circumstance.
The
code
does
recognize
the
potential
for
environmental
concerns,
and
so,
for
example,
it
gives
the
fire
marshal
the
latitude
to
either
issue
a
blanket
permit
to
fuel
anywhere
in
the
city
or
to
require
site-specific
permit.
F
My
intent
is
that
they're
required
to
get
a
site-specific
permit
show
definitively
where
things
like
storm
drains
are
or
streams
or
any
of
that
sort
of
thing
and
show
how
they're
going
to
mitigate
the
potential
that
there
would
be.
You
know
any
spill
that
that
would
go
into
that.
F
As
I
said,
this
is
a
relatively
new
industry.
My
advice
would
be
you
know,
let's
put
appropriate
controls
in
place,
which
I
think
we
have
we'll
see
how
the
industry
behaves
and
if
we
need
to
make
adjustments
going
forward
that
we
make
those
adjustments.
I
think
that
we
have
the
latitude.
You
know
if
we
end
up
like
we
just
did
a
few
weeks
ago,
where
we
have
a
high
degree
of
concern
about.
F
You
know
fire
danger
that
that
maybe
we
suspend
the
permits
for
that
time
period,
so
I
think
we
have
latitude
to
deal
with
it,
but
I
think
that
we
let
the
industry
see
how
they
behave
and
again
I
don't
think
you're
going
to
see
a
high
incidence
of
that
use
in
bellevue
just
because
the
real
estate
doesn't
lend
itself
to
that.
We
don't
have
seas
of
parking
lots.
You
know
and
again
you
can't
fuel
on
public
rights
of
way
and
you
can't
fuel
on
a
building
or
under
a
building.
F
So
if
you
just
think
about
bellevue
that
limits,
you
know
where
it
can
be
done
significantly.
D
And
structured
parking
is
considered
a
building,
correct,
okay,
yeah.
I
I
I
understand
that
we
have
some
things
in
place.
I
would
probably
be
more
inclined
to
want
to
just
let
the
industry
develop
elsewhere
and
then
check
in
and
see
how
they're
doing
before
we
start
allowing
it
here,
because
we
do
need
to
keep
our
storm
water,
our
storm
water,
clean.
You
know
when
we
get
run
off
it.
You
know
those
things
can
perk
into
the
ground
but
and
contaminate,
but
they
can
also
contaminate
our
streams
and
lakes
and
damage
our
fish
and
other
wildlife.
D
So
that's
my
two
cents
on
that.
So
the
second
question-
and
I
heard
this
briefly
in
the
powerpoint-
I
know
that
this
is
a
very
most
of
this-
is
very
routine.
We're
just
doing
the
updates,
as
required
by
law.
So
I'm
very
comfortable
with
that,
and
I
understand
that
we
can't
we
have
to
update
what
the
state
building
code
council
has
adopted
from
the
from
the
I
codes
and
but
we
can
make
them
more
narrow.
We
can't
make
them
more
loose.
D
F
Certainly
well
there's
a
number
of
modifications.
We've
highlighted
for
council
what
we
would
consider
significant,
but
the
three
significant
ones
that
I
highlighted
in
one
of
the
last
slides
were
the
in-building
radio
systems.
So
these
allow
police
and
firefighters
to
communicate
in
the
building.
So
I
chaired
a
task
force
over
18
months
and
we
identified
a
series
of
of
amendments
that
are
intended
to
be
adopted:
county-wide,
not
just
in
bellevue
but
county-wide.
It's
a
regional
radio
system.
F
So
that's
that's
one
area,
the
elevator
maintenance
provisions
or
another
area,
and
then
the
third
area
was
the
firefighter
air
replenishment
systems.
F
D
Okay
got
it
got
it
and
the
last
question
might
be
more
for
trisna,
and
that
is
I
understand
that
we
are
bringing
in
the
uniform
code
for
abatement
of
dangerous
buildings
which
yeah
it
hasn't
been
updated
in
13
years.
Why
has
bellevue
instead,
not
just
adopted
the
international
property
maintenance
code?
That's
a
code
that
is
much
more
routinely
updated
and
yeah.
I
know
there's
some
difference
between
that
and
the
abatement
of
dangerous
buildings,
but
the
international
property
maintenance
code
will
do
just
about
everything.
D
W
This
actually
may
be
something
that
greg
could
answer
better.
I
can't
but
greg.
I
think
we
have
looked
at
adopted
national
maintenance.
S
Yes,
we
have
council
member
robertson
and
with
the
next
coded
option,
which
will
actually
be
in
about
two
and
a
half
years,
because
the
implementation
in
this
cycle
was
delayed
due
to
covet
19,
but
we
can
take
another
look
at
that.
There
are
pros
and
cons
going
either
way.
Yet
most
local
cities
that
have
adopted
the
international
property
maintenance
code
have
heavily
amended
it
to
take
out
a
number
of
things,
requirements
to
cut
your
grass
and
things
like
that
that
we
may
not
want
to
include
in
our
coded
option.
S
So
if
there
are
certain
provisions
of
the
international
property
maintenance
code
that
we
don't
have,
we
certainly
could
take
a
look
at
either
incorporating
them
directly
into
this
new
bellevue
city
code,
chapter
2320
or
we
could
just
switch
to
the
international
property
maintenance
code.
D
Okay,
that
would
that
would
be
helpful.
I
think
that
it
might
be
worth
looking
at
because
they
do
have
some
really
it's
more
up
to
date
than
the
abatement
dangerous
buildings
code.
It
has
a
lot
of
the
same
structural
stability,
things
etc,
and
it
just
it's.
I
have
found
it
to
be
very
useful
in
helping
maintain
standards.
You
know
not
the
cutting
of
the
grass
I'm
talking
about
real
things.
That
matter
and
I
have
found
that
it's
a
lot
more
usable
and
more
current
than
abatement
dangerous
buildings.
D
So
I
just
was
wondering
why
we
didn't
do
it
and
I
think
that
we
should
think
about
it.
So
we'll
take.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
So
I
had
three
things.
First
of
all,
with
the
elevator
maintenance,
I
experienced
that
firsthand
at
silver
glen
and
I
think
that
they
really
need
to
have
a
commitment
from
their
elevator
maintenance
contractor
that
there's
a
24-hour
response
to
any
problems
that
happen
because
they
had
a
incident
on
friday
and
the
maintenance
people
wouldn't
go
come
until
monday
and
that's
just
not.
You
know,
going
to
fly
with
older
adults
so
and
it
doesn't
fly
with
a
lot
of
places
and
especially
anybody
with
a
disability.
A
So
if
there's
a
way
to
to
make
it
so
they
have
to
have
that
clause
in
their
contract.
I
think
that
would
be
helpful
and
then
number
two,
the
ten
dollar
late
fee
that
doesn't
seem
like
much
of
a
disincentive.
A
You
might
want
to
add
a
zero
or
something
to
that
one
and
then
number
three
council
member
stokes
brought
up
waiving
inspection
fees
for
affordable
housing.
I
don't
know
how
you
can
look
into
that
and
bring
this
back
for
approval
at
the
next
meeting.
Do
you
do
we
need
to
have
another
meeting
or
how
are
we
going
to
and
also
councilmember
robertson's
concerns
and
any,
but
anything
else
that
people
wanted
to
have
a
question
answered
on
before
approval
is:
how
are
we
going
to
handle
those.
AB
So
my
suggestion
on
that
would
be,
I
think,
the
question
about
the
fee
amendment
we'll
have
to
take
a
a
little
harder
look
at
that,
because
that
has
other
ramifications
regarding
the
cost
recovery
for
the
program
etc,
but
and
how
we
would
offset
that,
but
we
certainly
through
ken
and
staff
and
fire
department.
We
can
look
into
that.
AB
I
think
the
other
questions
that
have
been
raised
were
mostly
kind
of
technical
information
questions,
and
we
can
certainly
bring
that
back
when
we
bring
bring
the
ordinance
back
for
adoption
and
answer
those
questions,
or
we
could
certainly
provide
some
information
in
advance
of
that
meeting
to
to
see
if
we
can
adequately
respond
to
these
questions,
I
I
think
they're,
all
relatively
straightforward,
I'm
just
providing
some
additional
technical
information
and
then
a
strategy
about
the
next
update,
the
the
last
one
that
that
council
member
robertson
raised
about
the
international
property
maintenance
code.
AB
That's
a
fairly
significant
piece
of
work
that
we
obviously
couldn't
get
done
between
now
and
the
next
time
we
meet
on
this
topic,
but
in
the
next
code
adoption
cycle.
Certainly,
we
could
look
at
that
as
another
alternative
to
property
maintenance
or
the
housing
code
in
the
abatement
code
requirements
would
be
my
suggestion,
so
that
would
be.
AB
F
One
one
strategy
to
deal
with
that
would
be
to
tie
it
into
the
budget
conversations
that
council's
going
to
be
having
so
we
could
bring
back
as
part
of
the
the
budget
update.
You
know
different
options
that
you
might
look
at.
You
know,
as
I
think,
about
affordable
housing
or
low
income
housing.
You
know
not
everything's
created
the
same.
You
know
the
current
ordinance
provides
an
exemption
for
any
building.
F
That's
that's
a
501c3
building,
but
when
I
think
about
you
know
low-income
housing,
there
are
some
low-income
housing,
that's
operated
by
for-profit
organizations,
not
not
501c3,
so
I
I
might
need
some
assistance
from
council
understanding
what
the
target
is
exactly,
but
we
can
certainly
bring
back
some
options
for
you
to
look
at.
A
F
AB
A
Okay,
so
maybe
mr
miyake
we'd
make
sure
that
we
can
have
a
staff
briefings
before
that
meeting.
If,
if
we
want
to
pursue
some
of
the
questions
we
had
tonight,.
A
A
H
Thank
you,
mayor
council
members,
just
like
by
way
of
background
in
july
of
2019,
the
economic
development
plan
update
process
began
with
the
approval
of
eight
council
objectives
for
the
plan.
H
Tonight
is
the
eighth
discussion
with
council
regarding
the
plan
update
tonight's
presentation
will
include
a
recap
of
the
plan
update
process,
as
well
as
an
overview
of
the
contents
within
the
draft
plan
itself.
Also
on
july
6th
of
this
year.
That
was
the
last
time
we
were
in
front
of
you
staff
and
the
consultant
presented
strategies
and
priority
tactics
that
were
focused
on
economic
recovery
from
the
covet
pandemic,
with
council
feedback.
At
that
meeting
on
the
strategies
and
tactics
we
were
right.
H
They
appeared
to
be
on
target
council
directed
staff
to
move
forward
with
the
development
of
the
full
draft
plan,
which
now
is
in
front
of
you
tonight
so
tonight
we
staff
is
requesting
direction
to
return
with
a
final
version
and
a
resolution
to
adopt
formally
adopt
the
economic
development
plan.
H
That's
in
front
of
you
this
evening,
joining
us
this
evening
is
matt
cummins,
director
and
jessica
nado
chief
economic
development
officer,
philly
marsh
economic
development
manager.
All
from
the
community
development
department
also
joining
the
team
tonight
is
tony
delasie,
who
is
our
consultant
from
princeton
young
and
with
that
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
to
mac.
AE
Thank
you,
city
manager,
mayor
and
members
of
the
council.
It's
good
to
be
back
with
you
this
evening.
We're
excited
to
be
back
here
for
the
eighth
study
session
tonight.
You
have
in
front
of
you
the
economic
development
strategic
plan
in
its
totality
in
draft
form
for
your
consideration
and
we're
going
to
spend
some
time
tonight
walking
through
the
document
and
talking
about
the
structure
of
the
document
and
what
it's
intended
to
do.
AE
I
thought
I
might
just
start
in
the
presentation
with
what
we
started
some
time
ago,
it's
been
a
little.
Over
a
year,
we've
been
a
little
delayed
as
a
result
of
covid
and
our
inability
to
have
public
meetings.
AE
But
at
that
time,
when
the
council
set
out
its
objectives
for
this
effort,
we
started
as
staff
with
a
question
around
the
future
of
economic
development,
and
that
question
went
something
like
this
in
the
future.
Is
capital
going
to
follow,
labor
or
is
labor
going
to
follow
capital
and
said
another
way?
AE
So
the
council
adopted
those
objectives
and
we'll
walk
you
back
through
those
and
how
they
show
up
in
the
plan
to
think
about
the
role
of
some
economic
areas
that
were
not
in
the
first
city
economic
development
plan,
noticeably
around
the
role
of
retail
and
tourism
and
visitor
convention
bureau,
thinking
about
transportation
systems
and
housing
choice
and
then
the
role
of
primary
employment,
which
was
the
focus
of
the
first
plan
and
what
the
next
generation
of
primary
employment
will
look
like
for
the
city.
AE
We've
done
a
substantial
amount
of
public
outreach
with
our
business
community
and
our
various
stakeholders
and
the
regional
organizations
and
they've
provided
feedback
to
you
all
along
the
way
about
the
various
strategies
and
tactics
that
you
see
in
the
draft
plan,
and
so
we're
excited
that
tonight,
we'll
have
a
chance
to
show
the
plan
to
the
public
and
it's
in
its
full,
take
feedback
from
the
council
and
then
hopefully
have
a
direction
from
the
council
to
have
the
plan
adopted
so
phil
even
go
to
the
next
slide.
AE
The
direction
we're
asking
for
from
the
council
this
evening
is
to
give
a
head
nod
that
this
plan
represents,
in
its
final
form,
what
you're
all
looking
for
and
that
the
language
works
and
direction
that
we
can
place
it
on
a
future
agenda.
With
a
resolution
to
have
the
plan
adopted.
AE
The
council
in
over
the
weekend
and
a
little
bit
last
week
sent
some
comments
to
the
staff
with
some
potential
wordsmith
or
modifications,
mostly
around
clarity,
and
maybe
some
emphasis
in
a
few
areas.
We've
provided
that
to
the
council
in
a
desk
packet
format
here
our
suggestion
for
you
all
is
if
those
language
additions
work
for
you
all.
You
can
simply
give
us
direction
that
that
works
and-
and
we
will
simply
add
those
those
comments
into
the
draft
plan
and
then
bring
it
back
in
totality
for
adoption.
AE
Mostly
those
relate
to
things
I'll,
just
throw
out
an
example.
You
can
read
through
your
desk
packet.
AE
There
were
some
comments
from
multiple
council
members
around
using
words
like
multimodal
transportation
systems
and
some
of
the
words
that
are
our
transportation
staff
and
transportation,
commissioners,
starting
to
use
as
the
future,
not
simply
say,
transportation,
or
when
we
talk
about
the
future
of
retail
or
place,
making
that
we
want
to
make
sure
we
focus
not
just
say
on
traditional
retailing
or
the
downtown,
but
in
all
of
the
neighborhoods
and
those
types
of
services
should
be
throughout
the
city
in
the
different
neighborhoods.
AE
So
when
we
get
to
the
end
of
the
presentation,
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that.
But
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that's
out
there,
as
you
think
about
your
comments
tonight,
if
you're
in
a
place
to
give
us
direction
to
adopt
a
plan.
That's
what
we're
proposing
philly
give
me
the
next
slide.
AE
So
the
agenda
tonight
we'll
talk
about
where
we've
come
from
and
where
we
are
we'll
talk
about
the
different
outcomes
that
the
council
has
said
that
you're
looking
for
walk
through
the
strategic
themes.
This
is
the
area
that
we've
been
talking
with
our
stakeholders
about
and
what
we're
seeing
in
the
future
of
economic
development
and
the
different
foundations
that
are
being
built,
and
then
the
plan
itself
will
walk
through
the
structure
and
give
you
some
examples.
AE
We've
identified
foundational
strategies
and
carryovers
from
the
previous
economic
development
plan,
and
then
we've
talked
about
direct
strategies
and
coming
out
of
covid
and
what
those
types
of
growth
strategies
should
look
like,
so
that
we
can
really
be
nimble
as
a
community
in
the
implementation
of
our
economic
development
program
and
then,
lastly,
we'll
talk
about
the
five-year
implementation
plan.
This
plan
is
meant
to
be
five
years
with
an
individual
annual
action
plan
to
focus
on
the
various
areas
that
are
of
most
concern
or
most
need
going
into
the
future
year.
AF
Thank
you
matt.
We
began
this
process
back
in
2019
with
council-approved
objectives
for
the
plan.
After
those
objectives
were
approved
by
council,
we
conducted
a
nationwide
search
to
to
find
a
consultant
and
we
selected
avalanche
consulting
based
on
their
expertise
in
the
defined
areas
of
the
plan.
As
we
noted
previously,
avalanche
was
acquired
by
ey
back
in
march
march,
and
that
wealth
of
resources
of
that
global
firm,
really
heightened
our
confidence,
and
we
were
headed
in
the
right
direction.
AF
To
start
the
foundation
of
a
partnership
moving
forward
again
throughout
this
process,
we
have
routinely
presented
the
direction
and
development
of
the
plan
to
council,
and
we
want
to
take
a
moment
to
truly
thank
council
for
the
valuable
input
that
each
of
you
have
provided
along
the
way
that
input
has
been
incorporated
and
really
helped
make
this
a
plan
that
we're
proud
to
present
to
you
in
final
draft
form.
Again,
we
were
last
in
front
of
council
in
early
july
to
present
the
detailed
strategies
and
tactics
within
the
plan.
AF
These
are
the
objectives
that
were
approved
by
council
that
really
laid
the
the
groundwork
for
the
chapters
that
you
see
within
the
plan:
capacity,
building,
small
business,
workforce,
retail,
creative
economy
and
tourism,
and
then,
of
course,
the
plan
is
chapter
based,
so
it
will
be
easier
to
update
in
future
iterations.
AG
Thank
you
philly
and
hello,
mayor,
deputy
mayor
and
council,
I'd
like
to
also
just
say
hello
again
from
austin
texas.
Here,
I've
got
my
background
as
well,
and
I
would
also
just
say
it's
been
a
pleasure
working
with
the
city.
We
appreciate
this
opportunity,
but
not
just
to
work
with
the
city
of
bellevue,
where
there's
so
much
exciting
work
happening
in
terms
of
economic
growth
and
culture
and
the
quality
of
the
community,
but
also
with
city
staff.
AG
The
the
goal
of
all
this
activity
is
to
serve
quality
places,
and
this
plan
is
truly
designed
to
sustain,
enhance
bellevue's,
exemplary
quality
of
life
and
is
a
great
place
to
live
and
be
within
that
there
are
five
areas
of
desired
outcomes
that
we
identified
and
discussed
one
really
having
a
resilient
local
economy.
AG
AG
As
philly
mack
mentioned
myself
and
my
partners
on
consulting
team,
we
had
a
lot
of
conversations
with
residents
and
businesses
in
bellevue's
reviewing
so
much
stakeholder
engagements
surveys
and
the
voices
of
people
in
the
community
along
with
leadership
here
and
through
those
conversations,
we
really
saw.
Some
key
themes
emerge.
These
come
from
those
desires.
The
data
really
where
the
community
is
today
and
where
the
community
wants
to
be
one
of
those
is
around
connection
finding
ways
to
connect
people
in
the
community
to
each
other.
AG
It's
it
sounds
so
much
more
important
during
covid
when
we
think
about
how
distance
we
are,
but
this
drives
business,
it
drives
the
arts,
it
drives
that
quality
of
life,
and
it's
also
about
connecting
people
to
the
businesses
and
vice
versa.
We
know
that
people
are
one
of
bellevue's
greatest
assets,
incredibly
well
educated
community,
wanting
to
connect
them
to
businesses,
connect
them
to
opportunities.
AG
This
also
drives
partnerships
which
gets
the
collaboration
I
loved
hearing
the
young
speaker
during
the
oral
communications.
At
the
beginning,
he
said
collaboration
will
always
be
more
successful
and
that's
so
true
with
economic
development.
Successful
economic
development
takes
more
than
just
the
city
and
by
proactively
engaging
with
partners
helping
build
their
capacity.
We
can
achieve
so
much
more,
and
that
involves
communication.
AG
AE
Thanks,
tony
so
moving
into
the
next
part
of
the
presentation,
we're
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
plan
and
how
it's
structured
and
why
it's
structured.
That
way-
and
I
mentioned
earlier,
that
we
would
touch
on
our
foundational
strategies
and
our
direct
strategies
which
get
into
growth
and
coming
out
of
covid
the
foundational
strategies
or
the
portion
of
the
document.
AE
That
really
are
the
long-standing
ongoing
economic
development
efforts
and
they're
meant
to
support
a
high
quality
of
life
for
for
both
the
residents
and
the
businesses.
A
number
of
these
concepts
and
the
tactics
and
the
metrics
are
based
coming
out
of
our
last
economic
development
plan
and
carry
forward,
though
not
all
effectively.
AE
A
major
component
of
economic
development
is
in
creating
and
retaining
world-class
talent
and
the
relationship
between
the
pipeline
of
educational
systems
and
workforce
training
and
all
the
different
types
of
programs
that
go
into
creating
that
talent
pipeline
is
a
pretty
important
concept.
That's
foundational
to
our
approach.
AE
Additionally,
thinking
about
the
regionalism
that
tony
was
just
talking
about,
we
don't
compete
just
within
the
puget
sound
region.
We
actually
compete
nationally
and
internationally
for
companies
to
come
and
locate,
and
once
companies
are
interested
in
the
puget
sound
region.
Obviously,
there
are
strategies
that
are
designed
to
help
them
see
bellevue
as
the
most
attractive
place
to
land,
so
the
foundational
strategies
are
all
outlined
in
the
document.
These
are
all
things
that
you
saw
in
previous
study
sessions.
AE
If
there
are
specific
questions
about
any
of
those
be
happy
to
answer
those
when
we
get
to
q
a
but
the
foundational
strategies
are
really
the
the
pillar
and
the
and,
as
it
says,
the
foundation
of
the
direct
strategies
that
that
come
with
this
new
document.
Looking
at
some
some
subject
areas
that
we
did
not
in
the
last
economic
development
strategic
plan,
so
I'm
going
to
hand
it
off
to
philly
to
talk
about
those
direct
strategies
and
the
growth
strategies
coming
out
of
covid.
AF
So
these
I'm
just
really
excited
to
get
going
on
the
implementation
of
these
strategies
and
tactics.
AF
AF
The
creative
economy
chapter
includes
using
our
leading
position
in
the
digital
creative
sectors
to
support
the
traditional,
creative
businesses
and
organizations,
as
well
as
positioning
bell
red
arts
district
as
a
major
destination,
and
then,
lastly,
the
tourism
chapter
focuses
on
working
with
visit,
bellevue
our
destination
marketing
organization
to
foster
more
tourism
activities
such
as
events,
nightlife
and
various
product
offerings.
AF
We
are.
We
did
stop
reevaluate
and
refine
based
on
what
we
know
now
on
about
covid
and
we
denoted
the
short-term
recovery
strategies,
which
is
what
we'd
like
to
focus
our
implementation
on.
First,
because
we
know
that
there's
an
immediate
need
and
those
strategies
will
have
the
greatest
return
of
investment
and
then
we're
going
to
work
closely
with
our
regional
and
local
partners
to
align
efforts
of
interpreting
recovery
and
when
it's
time
to
to
start
layering
in
those
growth
strategies
that
are
outlined
within
the
plan.
AF
We
are
doing
this
because
we
know
a
lot
can
happen
over
five
years,
especially
as
we're
in
the
middle
of
a
pandemic.
So
we
want
to
be
able
to
stay
nimble
and
ensure
effective
investment
of
our
efforts.
AE
Thanks
philly
we're
going
to
wrap
up
here
and
as
we're
finishing
up
the
staff
presentation,
I
just
want
to
take
a
minute
to
to
thank
our
staff
in
economic
development
that
have
been
working
tirelessly
on
this
jesse
conado.
AE
Our
assistant
director,
oversees
all
the
economic
development
programs
couldn't
be
with
us
tonight,
but
I
want
to
just
put
a
word
in
for
all
the
work
he's
put
in
and
all
the
meetings
he's
had
working
with
all
our
business
stakeholders
to
solicit
their
feedback
and
incorporate
that
into
the
document,
and
thank
you
to
philly
for
overseeing
the
whole
program
and
tony
thanks
for
your
help
so
mayor.
AE
The
request
tonight
is
to
receive
direction
from
the
council
that
the
plan
in
its
draft
form
here,
is
ready
for
adoption
and
to
give
us
direction
to
bring
it
back
at
a
future
meeting
with
a
resolution
for
for
that
adoption.
As
I
mentioned
earlier,
we've
created
a
desk
packet
based
on
individual
council
members
feedback.
We
think
that
we've
addressed
individual
thoughts
as
they
were
submitted
to
us,
so
those
could
be
incorporated
too.
A
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
great
presentation
so
that
desk
packet
that
you're
referring
to
was
not
sent
out
until
just
before
the
meeting.
I'm
not
sure
how
many
council
members
actually
had
a
chance
to
look
at
that,
but
many
of
us
emailed
language
revisions
that
we
wanted
to
see
and
so
that
desk
packet
includes
every
single
comment
the
council
members
submitted
and
then
how
it
either
is
already
reflected
in
the
language
or
how
they
can
reflect
it
in
the
new
language.
A
So
it's
important
that
each
council
member
look
through
that
and
kind
of
give
it
a
thumbs
up
or
or
ask
for
a
modification
if
it
doesn't
represent
the
comments
that
they
wanted
included,
and
I
don't
expect
you
to
be
able
to
do
that
during
the
meeting
tonight.
But
maybe
this
week
you
could
get
your
feedback
back
to
staff
so
that
they
can
incorporate
that
into
the
final
version.
A
So
we'll
go
ahead
with
comments
and
questions,
starting
with
council
member
lee,
then
council,
members
on
robertson,
barksdale,
deputy
mayor
stokes
and
then
me
so
council,
member
lee.
AD
Thank
you
veteran
mayor,
great
presentation.
I
mean
the
framework
was
absolutely
right
on
spot.
AD
You
know
I
was
briefed
about
it
and
I
you
know
responded
to
that.
One
of
the
thing
that
is
specific
that
impressed
me
is
that
our
response
to
the
covert
knighting
pandemic-
you
guys
have
done
that.
You
know
yeoman's
job
in
responding
to
the
impact
you
know
our
businesses
have
been
feeling
and-
and
I
think
also
you
are
able
to
in
addition
to
you
know
doing
things
responding,
you
are
able
to
develop
this
vision
strategy.
AD
AD
I
don't
really,
you
know,
can't
specifically
well
find
any
any
any
fault
with
the
strategy
itself.
You
know
foundational
because
these
all
great
things
that
you're
talking
about
in
particular
you
know
the
one
that
showed
the
the
best
is
in
the
the
direct
strategy.
AD
I'm
trying
to
see
yeah
direct
strategy
focus
areas,
and
the
first
question
I
think
matt
you
mentioned-
is
which
drives
what
money
follow.
People
or
people
follow
money,
and
I
couldn't
agree
more
wholeheartedly
that
people
is
our
number
one
talent.
If
we
have
talent,
anything
will
follow,
including
money.
So
I
agree
with
that
and
then
you
know
by
looking
at
the
focus
areas.
AD
Absolutely
you
know
things
have
to
do
with
people
building
capacity.
That's
people
talking
about
partnership,
that's
people
and
you're.
Talking
about
our
regional
location,
our
international
of
diversity.
AD
We
have
global
talent
here
we
are
a
city
that,
because
of
the
environment,
because
of
the
quality
of
life,
because
all
the
things
that
we've
heard
in
the
public
telling
us
during
the
budget
discussion,
we
we
have
people,
and
I
think,
that's
all
great,
and
also
you
mentioned
small
business
entrepreneurship.
That's
again,
people
people
can
make
this
happen.
If
without
people
you
know,
there's
no
small
business,
no
entrepreneurship
that
talks
about
diversity,
because
small
businesses
represent
diversity.
It's
not
one
giant
one
company
used
to
be.
AD
I
remember
in
the
old
days
when
I
first
came
to
bellevue
50
years
ago,
exploring
company,
we
call
them
mother
boeing.
So
when
the
economy
is
struck,
you
know
we
are
in
bad
shape,
but
fortunately
you
know
the
people
remain
in
bellevue
because
they
want
to
stay
here.
They
want
to
raise
their
family
here.
So
so
the
people
bought
a
small
businesses.
AD
They
became
innovative
creative.
They
started
small
businesses
as
a
result
where
biotechnology
we've
got
a
whole
bunch
more
companies.
As
a
result,
little
company
became
big
ones,
microsoft,
other
technology.
So
I
think
that
is
again
people
talent.
So
I
think
that
going
to
workforce
right
same
thing
now
we
have,
we
have
technology,
we
develop
people,
we
develop
ability
to
create,
innovate
and
we
have
a
technology
coding,
schools,
we
teach
them,
we
train
them.
AD
You
know
we
have
bellevue
college
and
we
work
with
industries.
The
industries
help
them
to
beef
up
their
education
force
and
said
again.
Retail
is
one
of
the
small
business
components
and
then
we
talk
about
creative
economy.
I
would
like
to
include
emphasize
one
word,
as
culture
is
important,
because
culture
relates
to
people
people
from
all
over
the
world,
they
bring
their
own
different
cultures
to
this
country
and
again
this
country.
Our
strength
is
in
our
diversity
is
in
our
immigrants.
They
bring
people
from
all
over
the
world
talents
from
all
over
the
world.
Councilmember.
AD
Okay,
the
only
so
I
just
want
to
leave
one
note,
which
is
that's
thought.
I
think
that
we
need
to
have
more
focus.
I
already
said,
devil
is
in
the
detail,
so
I
would
like
to
see
more.
How
can
we
turn
all
these
wonderful
fun
day,
foundational
strategies
into
action?
Okay,
I
would
like
to
stop
at
that
and
let's
go
from
there.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
I
Yes,
I
want
to
thank
matt,
jesse
and
philly
it.
I
can
tell
that
this
plan
is
a
labor
of
love
of
bellevue.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
really
listening
to
us
and
incorporating
our
feedback
and
our
comments
into
this
plan.
I
I
think
each
of
us
can
see
our
comments
reflected
in
either
the
the
foundational
long-term
strategies
or
in
the
direct
short-term
focus.
So
I
really
appreciate
that
you
know
last
week
I
listened
in
on
the
puget
sound
economic
summit
where
they
were
talking
about.
I
You
know
our
region
and
coming
out
of
covid
and
the
recovery,
and
I
think
that
with
the
strategies
we
have,
we
are
so
well
poised
to
do
that.
So
I'm
very
thankful
for
that.
I
appreciate
that
I
can
see
my
comments
reflected
in
there.
I
Last
week
we
talked
about
the
esi,
the
environmental
stewardship
initiative.
I
think
there's
potentially
a
lot
of
businesses
and
economy
there
related
to
as
we
work
on
our
environment
and
climate,
and
especially
when
I
think
about
a
lot
of
the
people
that
are
that
are
working
in
bellevue.
I
think
that
the
median
age
of
the
workers
perhaps
are
getting
younger
and
they
very
much
like
a
lot
of
the
students
have
come
to
talk
to
us
care
about
the
environment.
So
I
think
that
might
be
another
area
that
we
can
look
at.
I
So
can
we
identify
in
a
short
term
who
else
are
willing
to
engage
with
us
in
partnerships
so
that
all
of
us
are
carrying
a
bit
of
this
water
of
the
vibrancy
of
bellevue
and
then?
Lastly,
I
am
curious
about
how
comparable
cities
that
we
were
developing
this
plan,
using
how
they're
doing
as
they
recover
from
covid
and
are
there
some
lessons
we
can
draw,
because
I
also
agree
with
councilmember
lee
a
plan
is
one
thing,
but
actually
being
able
to
take
action.
That's
meaningful
is
the
the
most
important
part.
I
AE
I
think
I
might
ask
philly
and
tony
of
the
comparable
cities.
We
may
not
have
enough
data
at
this
point
and
we
certainly
know
what
some
of
the
different
action
plans
are,
but
we
might
be
able
to
just
fold
that
into
the
next
quarterly
update
too,
as
we
start
to
see
more
data
coming
through
the
covet
time
period.
D
Thanks,
I'm
really
excited
about
this
new
plan
and
I
really
appreciate
the
work
that
staff
and
our
consultant
have
done
to
put
it
together.
It's
very
readable,
it's
got
a
nice
look
and
feel
you
can
find
things
in
it
and
I
think
it
captures
very
well
a
lot
of
where
we
want
to
go
as
a
city,
and
I
also
wanted
to
say.
I
really
appreciate
the
desk
packet
with
the
information.
D
The
first
two
comments
regarding
the
importance
of
child
care
and
the
second
one,
which
was
the
importance
of
oh
of
the
local
businesses.
I
I
absolutely
support
having
those
in
there.
I
really
support
all
of
the
things
in
the
desk
pack
and
I
think
they're
all
really
excellent.
One
of
the
things
I'd
like
to
think
about,
as
we
move
forward
with
economic
development,
particularly
with
regard
to
the
local.
The
local
amenities
is
the
idea
of
being
a
15-minute
city.
D
You
know
accessing,
of
course,
parks
and
trail
and
transit.
All
of
that,
I
think,
should
be
within
15
minutes
of
people's
homes.
So
that's
one
of
the
reasons
I
pushed
or
I
encouraged,
and
asked
for
a
more
specific
language
with
regard
to
businesses
that
serve
the
local
communities
where
they're
around
we
don't
want
any
islands
in
bellevue
where
people
can't
get
groceries
or
when
they
don't
have
access
to
those
facilities
because
of
robust
redevelopment
is
so
much
that
all
that's
there
now
is
office,
spaces,
etc.
D
So
we
want
those
local
amenities
to
be
available
for
people.
I'm
also
going
to
speak
a
little
bit
about
the
child
care
on
how
important
that
is
we're
seeing
right
now
with
the
covet.
It's
really
emphasized
the
importance
of
child
care
and
public
schools,
because
people
are
not
able
to
work
if
their
kids
don't
have
a
safe,
healthy
place
to
be
so
many
people
can
work
at
home,
but
if
they
have
to
then
help
their
seven-year-old
with
school
when
they're
supposed
to
be
working,
it
makes
it
very
difficult.
D
So
it's
we've
always
had
a
child
care
issue.
It's
for
a
lot
of
people
as
much
as
a
mortgage,
but
this
has
really
emphasized
it,
and
I
really
appreciate
the
language
that
is
proposed
in
the
desk
packet.
I
would
hope
that
my
council
colleagues
will
support
number
one
and
number
two.
Finally,
I
was
glancing
through
the
dust
packet
and
glancing
again
through
the
economic
development
plan,
and
I
didn't
see
in
there
and
there's
a
few
places
where
it's
implied,
but
one
of
the
things
that's
so
important
for
our
new.
D
Our
new
economy
is
the
connectivity
with
regard
to
internet
5g,
etc,
especially
with
the
the
work
from
home
and
for
the
kids
school
from
home.
We
are
really
loading
a
lot
of
use
onto
those
systems,
and
I
don't
know
that
our
systems
in
bellevue
are
as
robust
as
we
need
them
to
be
today,
but
they
certainly
are
not
as
robust
as
we
need
them
to
be
in
the
future.
As
all
we
have
all
this
creative
economy
and
digital
economy
growth.
D
So
I
I
it's
kind
of
implied
in
the
creative
economy,
in
the
small
business
and
in
the
capacity
building,
but
I
would
love
to
see
somewhere
and
I'm
mac
or
tony
I'd.
Take
your
input
where
we
could
put
in
there
the
importance
of
making
sure
that,
whether
it's
public,
private
partnership
or
a
private
industry
that
we
encourage
the
capacity
for
the
tech
economy
that
we
know
is
here
and
growing.
AG
I
would
just
say
I,
I
think
you're
totally
right
that
supports
so
many
things
from
the
tech
economy
to
the
equity
concerns
we're
seeing
this
across
the
country.
You
know
children
that
don't
have
access
both
to
high-speed
internet,
but
the
devices
to
use
them
are
just
being
further
pushed
behind
during
this
crisis
and
other
things.
So
I
think
it
could
be
woven
into
a
lot
of
different
areas
very,
very
easily.
D
Great
so
oh
my
gosh,
everyone
just
disappeared
for
a
second
the.
What
is
the
process,
and
I
don't
know
if
this
is
a
question
for
the
mayor
or
for
mac?
To
I
mean
I'm
happy,
I
don't
know
that
we're
taking
motions
tonight.
I
would
really
like
to
see
the
child
care
and
the
you
know
the
15-minute
city
idea,
which
were
captured
as
number
one
and
two
in
the
desk
packet,
as
well
as
this,
the
tech
infrastructure
for
connectivity
for
the
people
woven
into
the
final
plan.
A
I'm
hoping
that
we
can
do
kind
of
similar
to
the
other
topic
with
having
some
briefings
before
the
meeting.
Where
we're
supposed
to
approve
this
and
see
the
draft
that's
going
to
be
proposed
at
the
meeting
and
make
sure
it's
in
alignment
with
what
everybody's
hoping
to
see.
Does
that
sound,
reasonable
mac.
AE
Sure
I
think
what
we'll
do
so.
We
have
that
what
we've
heard
up
till
tonight,
which
is
in
your
desk
packet
tonight-
and
I
think,
if
I
understood
you,
mayor
you'd,
like
everyone
to
take
a
look
at
that
see
if
that
represented
a
solution
for
the
comment
individuals
may
have
made
when
we
get
ready
with
the
resolution
and
the
final
plan.
We'll
of
course
have
a
final
plan
for
your
adoption
and
we'll
be
happy
to
have
briefings.
A
D
Great,
so
what
I
would
suggest
on
that
is
to
the
extent
that
you're
going
to
put
giraffe
language
in,
for
example,
from
the
desk
packet
on
this
internet
connectivity
issue
that
the
agenda
packet
for
when
we're
ready
to
adopt
this
calls
out
all
the
changes
from
the
version
that
was
in
tonight's
packet.
The
version
that's
in
that
packet
and
then
council
members
can,
you
know,
ask
questions
and
propose
changes
if
we
want
them,
but
otherwise
I
think
that
would
allow
better
transparency
and
tracking
on
all
our
parts.
So
thanks.
A
I
I
anticipate
that's
exactly
what
would
happen.
Okay,
thank
you.
So
next
up,
councilmember
barksdale
all.
AC
Right,
thank
you
mayor
and
thanks
so
much
philly,
mack
and
jesse.
As
has
already
been
said,
I
can
definitely
see
the
comments
reflected
and
especially.
AC
So
I
appreciate
that
being
coming
out
kind
of
to
that
point.
You
know,
I,
I
think
the
connection
piece
is
really
important.
I
think
I've
shared
with
you
all
like
the
the
role
that
connection
has
played
in
terms
of
like
the
way
that
people
can
connect
around
our
community
and
factor
that
into
economic
development
will
play
into
how
connected
our
community
is
and
that
sense
of
belonging.
AC
And
so
I'm
glad
to
see
it
as
a
strategic
daemon
is
threaded
throughout
the
rest
of
the
plan
also
really
excited
about
the
small
businesses,
especially
mom-and-pop
shops
and
independent
retail,
that
play
such
a
critical
role
in
our
community
and
then
I
know
we
talked
about
it
and
I
feel
like
it's
reflected
here,
but
as
we
continue
to
engage
with
other
with
our
partners
and
creating
marketing
collateral,
just
really
making
sure
that
not
just
the
diversity
that
we
have,
but
the
diversity
we
want
to
see
in
our
community
is
reflected
in
that
collateral,
so
that
people,
you
know,
feel
welcome
just
from
looking
at
our
materials
and
want
to
visit,
and
I
appreciate
that
the
plan
is
adaptive.
AC
I
will
ask
and
ask
you
this
before,
so
I'm
I
kind
of
have
an
idea
of
where
you,
where
you're,
going
with
it
monitoring
and
allowing
for
like
how
do
we?
How
do
we
expect
to
make
this
plan
transparent,
like
the
progress
and
performance
of
this
plan
more
transparent,
and
then
how
do
we
plan
to
continue
ongoing
engagement
with
community
as
part
of
updating?
AF
AF
What's
going
to
be
the
best
and
best
investment
for
effort
moving
forward,
and
with
that
once
we
know
what
those
efforts
are,
what
those
actions
are
we'll
develop
the
performance
metrics,
so
we're
able
to
track
throughout
the
year
what
our
goal
was
for
that
particular
action
and
then
the
metrics,
and
how
we're
measuring
and
tracking
towards
that
throughout
those
quarterly
reports
to
council.
AC
AF
Right,
well,
that's
I
mean
the
the
capacity
building
partnership
you
know
is
a
big
focus
and
one
of
the
first
chapters
that
we
hope
to
start
implementing,
because
those
partnerships
are
so
important.
So
with
that
in
building
the
relationship
and
the
capacity,
we
hope
to
instill
measures
and
processes
to
that
not
only
have
that
relationship
built,
but
then
we
have
good
feedback
loops
throughout
our,
inter
our
implementation
of
the
actions.
AC
Awesome.
Thank
you
so
last
comment.
I
I
appreciate
the
quarterly
reports.
I
would
also
love
just
an
ongoing
way
of
being
able
to
look
and
explore
data
based
on
progress.
N
A
Thanks,
okay,
deputy
mayor.
E
Thank
you
mayor
again
I'll,
follow
my
colleagues
here
and
mack
jesse,
wherever
you
might
be,
and
philly
great
job
on
this
presentation
and
tony.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
input.
Input
into
this
as
well,
and
facilitating
this
great
study
and
five
year
plan
again
love.
As
my
colleagues
have
shared
the
desk
pack
there.
I
think
the
team
has
done
a
great
job
in
terms
of
implementing
a
lot
of
the
feedback
received
already,
and
I
really
appreciate
the
the
covet
update
to
every
section
as
well.
E
That
was
really
important
to
call
that
out
and
I
think
that'll
be
helpful
going
forward
as
well.
But
you
know
the
fact
of
the
matter
is:
we
do
need
kind
of
a
short
term
and
a
long-term
plan
because
covet
has
certainly
you
know
some
industries
more
than
others,
but
certainly
when
you
look
at
retail
when
you
look
at
tourism,
etc,
those
industries
certainly
have
been
impacted
greatly.
E
I've
already
shared
with
you,
my
my
interest
in
in
the
performance
metrics,
and
I
appreciate
my-
I
appreciate
councilman
barks
of
bringing
that
up
too,
and
we
don't
go
into
that
tonight,
but
philly
it'd
be
really
important
for
me.
Going
forward
on
that
quarterly
basis
that
we
really
hone
in
on
what
those
performance
metrics
is.
It
sounds
like
you're
still
working
on
that
a
little
bit
and
also
that
we
carry
over
those
metrics
that
we
used
to
track
and
a
lot
of
those
metrics,
I
think,
will
still
be
valuable.
E
Moving
forward
for
retention
purposes,
for
example
the
number
of
companies
that
you
meet,
what
their
issues
they're
currently
facing
what
the
city
can
do
to
help
address
those
issues.
I
think
those
are
really
important,
so
I
look
forward
to
seeing
that
really
like
the
focus
on
on
entrepreneurs,
small
businesses,
the
neighborhood
businesses.
You
know,
because
we
are
more
than
just
amazon,
we're
more
than
just
facebook
we're
more
than
just
t-mobile.
E
So
you
know
we're
a
city
that
should
celebrate
small
businesses
as
much
as
we
celebrate
amazon
and-
and
you
know,
those
small
businesses
certainly
impact
the
quality
of
life.
For
all
the
neighborhoods
around
the
city,
I
want
to
get
to
partnerships
just
for
a
second
here,
because
in
the
the
final
draft
you
had
mentioned
in
the
in
the
partnership
section,
I
believe
it's
page
18
that
said
bellevue
chamber,
the
bda
did
not
list
innovation
triangle
did
not
list
gsp,
I'm
assuming
those
are
still
part
of
the
plan.
AF
Correct,
yes,
we're
still
a
part
of
the
innovation
triangle,
with
our
neighboring
studies
of
kirkland
and
redmond,
and
we
work
close
with
them
on
marketing
our
collective
east
side
region,
two
businesses,
and
that
is
nested
under
the
greater
seattle
partnerships
work
in
marketing
the
larger
region.
So
yes,
that
it
will
be
the
business
attraction
will
be
a
continuation
of
this
piece
and
there
will
be
performance
goals
and
metrics
that
okay,
okay,
great.
E
And
I
just
have
to
ask
because
in
just
doing
a
little
due
diligence
on
the
greater
seattle
partners
website
this
afternoon,
so
I
see
under
their
investors.
You
know
they
have
the
city
of
bellevue,
everett,
issaquah,
kent
maple
valley.
I
didn't
see.
The
city
of
seattle
is
the
city
of
seattle,
not
an
investor
in
the
gssb.
E
Oh
okay,
okay,
just
curious,
because
certainly
the
name
seattle's
is
in
the
name
of
the
organization
that
just
kind
of
surprised
me
so
I'd
love
to
know.
E
If
you
get
a
chance
and
that's
not
to
say
we
don't
we're
still
not
part
of
that
group
and
there's
not
benefit
to
us
still,
but
that'd
be
great
I'd
like
to
know
the
answer
to
that
and
the
last
piece
just
because
I
love
the
piece
and
tony's
comment
about
collaboration
and
connection
to
the
region
and
that's
so
important
on
the
on
the
tourism
piece.
Certainly
there's
a
lot
of
intersection
there
with
with
visit
bellevue
and
the
importance
of
working
with
them.
E
But
has
there
been
any
kind
of
look
at
trying
to
connect
with
the
other
cities
in
east
king
county
to
kind
of
create,
like
an
innovation
triangle,
if
you
will,
but
for
tourism?
You
know:
is
that
a
kind
of
partnership
that
we
can
look
at
as
well
or-
and
it
might
not
be
needed
in
here
in
terms
of
the
language
into
this
into
this
document,
but
just
something
I
wanted
to
raise.
As
I
was
thinking
about
the
innovation
triangle.
So
I
don't
know
if
you
can
speak
to
that
at
all.
AF
Yeah,
I
actually
can
speak
to
that
from
kind
of
past
efforts
of
previous
life
is
yes,
the
city
of
bellevue,
along
with
kirkland
redmond
and
woodenville,
have
worked
together
with
a
with
a
loose
organization,
informal
too,
to
define
and
promote
to
brand
the
east
side
as
a
destination
to
spend
a
multiple
day,
leisure
trip
on
the
east
side
of
seattle.
AF
So
there
have
been
efforts
and
there
are
continued
efforts.
There
there's
a
lot
of
opportunities.
You
know
with
the
east
trail
coming
up
there.
AF
E
C
Yeah,
thank
you
very
much
and
again,
kudos
mac
and
philly
and
jesse
and
tony
great
work,
great
collaboration
among
yourselves
and
others
and
and
with
the
other
staff
in
the
council.
C
It's
always
interesting
to
be
towards
the
end
of
the
these
conversations,
because
a
lot
of
stuff's
been
covered
and
I
a
lot
of
great
comments.
I
think
they're
helpful
on
this.
I
think
we
could.
We
could
all
talk
about
this
for
a
long
time
and
and
go
into
it,
but
I
think
it's
I
really
like
it.
I
mean,
even
if
we
didn't
change
anything
right
now,
it
would
be
a
great
plan
and
I
think
there's
some
good.
Things
have
been
added
to
this.
C
What
I
think
is
is
two
things
I
want
to
emphasize
and
that
is
the
creative
economy
piece,
I'm
glad
that's
in
there
and
I
think,
that's
again,
something
that
is
going
to
be
even
more
important
and
when
it
gets
back
to
that
the
thought,
the
question
of
kind
of
the
you
know
what
attracts
people.
What
makes
a
great
city
is
it.
You
know
the
the
the
money
or
the
businesses
or
the
talent,
and
I
think
it's
both,
and
I
think
it's
more
than
even
just
that.
C
It's
the
other
aspects
to
it,
but
I
think,
in
order
to
have
companies
come
in,
you
have
to
have
you
know
active
city
and
and
talent's
very
important,
but
just
you
also
attract
the
talent,
because
you
have
companies
that
are
good
to
work
for
so
I
think
that's,
that's
a
good
balance,
we're
putting
into
this
and
without
getting
and
a
lot
of
these
other
comments
have
been
made.
C
I
think
are
very
good
on
this
and
I
think
to
me
the
the
overriding
I
think
most
important
thing
is
as
we're
talking
towards
the
end
and
deputy
mayor
just
mentioned.
Some
of
these
is
the
the
regional
part,
the
collaboration
and
that's
going
to
be,
I
think,
more
and
more
important.
You
know
I
talked
for
some
time.
We
were
working
with
the
economic
development
council
and
morphing
into
a
greater
seattle
partnership,
and
then
things
were
doing
with
the
innovation
triangle
and
that's
that's
gone
from
just
a
very
short.
C
You
know
a
kind
of
small
start
to
a
big
start,
having
integration,
innovation
crescent.
That
actually
includes
a
lot
more,
so
we
have
concepts
and
and
organizational
pieces
in
place
that
can
be,
I
think,
expanded,
so
that
and
what
happens
with
that
is
that
bellevue
then
becomes
really
the
the
the
leader
in
the
region,
but
because
we
have
these
opportunities
in
the
whole
region,
we
can
even
be
more
attractive.
C
I
think
that's
part
of
what
brings
amazon
to
us
and
what
also
brings
these
small
companies,
whether
tech
or
otherwise
they
come
into
bellevue
because
they
want
to
be
a
part
of
this.
So
I
think
we
put
all
these
elements
together
and
I
I
think
it's
really
strong
and
you
know
I
do
think
that
we're
gonna
have
yearly
reports
quarterly
reports,
but
some
other
colleagues
have
mentioned
this.
I
think
you
know
don't
hesitate
to
come,
and
sometimes
we
may
want
to
know
something.
C
That's
going
on
outside
of
those
particular
time
frames,
but
report
when
something
really
exciting
is
going
on,
or
if
you
have
questions
it
needs
to
be
a
very.
I
think
we've
established
a
very
collaborative
effort
by
the
council
and
the
staff
and
and
the
the
city
and
the
organizations
that
work
with
us.
C
So
that's
that's,
I
think,
is
the
real
strength
of
this
whole
piece
which
will
allow
us
to
do
what
we
we
think
we
can
and
as
as
we
talked
in
the
briefing,
I
think
we
have
we're
taking
advantage
of
this
great
opportunity.
We
have
to
come
out
of
the
covid
pandemic
and
be
ready
to
go,
and
I
think
that's
that's
something
that
a
lot
of
cities
just
aren't
either
for
various
reasons,
can't
focus
on
or
are
focused
on
that,
but
I
think
we're
this.
C
This
is
a
plan
that
will
really
take
us
out
of
that
in
in
very
good
ways,
and
I
like
the
fact
that
we
have
a
great
amount
of
being
nimble
being
flexible
but
at
the
same
time,
having
a
very,
very
clear,
directed
a
sense
of
where
we're
going,
how
we're
going
to
get
there.
And
yes,
you
know
these
are
just
plans
and
how
do
we
implement
them?
We
could
spend
you
know
probably
a
week
talking
about
that,
but
that's
kind
of
your
job
to
take
this.
C
These
plans
take
the
policies
and
and
put
the
implementation
in
place
and
come
back
and
talk
to
us
about
it,
how
it's
going
so
I
think
it's
great
I'm
really
excited
about
it
and
being
the
interested
in
seeing
how
you
know
what
changes
come
up,
but
I
think,
as
I
said,
I
think,
even
as
it
is,
is
great
and
we
added
you
know
a
few
tweaks
here
and
there
it
would
be
even
better,
and
so
I'm
looking
forward
to
it
and
appreciate
very,
very
much
your
focus
and
recognizing
what
we
can
do
in
bellevue.
A
Okay,
so
I'll
I'll
give
you
my
comments
and
then
councilmember
lee,
I
kind
of
cut.
You
short,
I
don't
know
if
you
had
more
to
say
but
I'll
give
you
another
chance
to
finish,
and
anybody
else
too,
but,
first
of
all,
just
to
repeat
what
other
people
have
said,
your
your
adjustment
to
covid
coming
in
the
middle
of
this
and
adjusting
the
timeline
and
the
content
has
been
really
well
done
on
your
part
and
it
makes
it
still
a
relevant,
viable
strategy.
A
So
I
appreciate
that
very
much
and
I
have
to
say:
jesse's
responsiveness,
jesse
conetto
throughout
this
whole
pandemic
to
the
small
business
struggles
and
challenges
has
been
remarkable.
A
His
one-on-one
responsiveness
to
the
businesses
and
his
partnerships
with
the
chamber
and
the
bda
and
the
regional
organizations
and
billy,
I'm
sure,
you're
you've
been
involved
in
that
too.
I
just
keep
hearing
jesse's
name,
I'm
sorry,
but
just
the
whole
team,
your
your
entire,
the
entire
team's
responsiveness,
has
been
much
appreciated
by
the
entire
community.
A
I
do
want
to
see
an
actionable
item
on
the
local
workforce
pipeline.
You
know
you
speak
to
the
value
of
it.
You
speak
to
the
value
of
the
mature
workforce
that
we
have
locally
and
the
need
to
create
a
pipeline
that
develops
the
future
workforce
locally,
but
I
don't
see
any
action
items
on
that.
So
I'd
really
like
to
know
I'd
like
you
to
drill
down
on
that.
If
you
can
on
how
you're
going
to
achieve
that,
I
also
want
to
say
that
boy.
A
If
the
community
wonders
how
we
can
support
our
valuable
small
businesses
in
bellevue,
it's
now
shop
locally.
You
know
they
did
war
bonds
during
world
war.
Two.
This
is
kind
of
similar
to
that.
If
you're
gonna
spend
money
spend
it
locally,
I
call
it
a
covet
christmas,
where
you
buy
your
gift,
your
gift
cards
today
and
give
them
tomorrow,
but
our
local
businesses,
if
you,
if
you
value
them-
and
you
want
them
to
hang
around-
you-
need
to
support
them
because
they
need
us
desperately.
A
So
I
just
want
to
encourage
everybody
wherever
you
live
in
bellevue
to
please
support
your
local
business.
I
do
like
council,
member
lee
and
zahn's
edition
of
the
multiculturalism.
I
think
that's
a
very
good
word.
I
do
like
council
member
robertson's,
15-minute
city
idea,
that's
really
attractive
to
me
and
I
would
also
include
growing
food
locally,
so
maybe
reactivating
some
of
our
historic
farmlands
would
be
cool.
A
A
So
I
know
you've
gotten
a
lot
of
feedback
tonight,
which
I
really
appreciate,
and
I
will
actually
allow
more
feedback
in
just
a
moment,
but
really
tonight
is
not
to
have
you
redo.
Everything
tonight
is
to
have
you
tweak
things
and
I
think
in
three
months
we
get
a
report
back
and
we
can
see
if
we've
missed
anything
or
you
know
if
anything's
working
isn't
that
right
I
mean
if
we
get
a
quarterly
report
on
this.
AE
Right
mayor,
so
what
we
would
do
when
the
council
gets
ready
to
adopt
the
new
plan,
then
you'll
see,
as
has
been
mentioned,
metrics
that
we've
been
using
in
the
to
from
the
previous
plan
they're
going
to
carry
forward
and
then
any
new
metrics,
because
now
there
are
new,
topical
areas
that
we
are
studying
and
working
on.
A
So
I
mean
we
will
have
opportunities
to
assess
this
plan
and
to
revise
it
moving
forward
in
the
next
few
months
and
years
and
so
nothing's
carved
in
stone.
So
I
don't
want
you,
there's
been
some
recommendations
to
add
large
sections,
maybe
or
or
if,
if
you've
heard,
that,
I'm
not
sure
that
this
is
the
time
to
do
that,
but
you
should
at
least
be
looking
at.
How
can
we
do
that
in
the
near
future?
A
So
why
don't
we
run
through
really
quick
everybody?
One
more
time
we
have
council
member
lee.
AD
Thank
you.
I
really
like
what
the
mayor
said.
The
word
actionable
items.
This
is
what
I
already
talked
about
right
action,
advisors
and
I
like
to
see
you
know
that
a
couple
of
she
mentioned
a
number
of
them.
I
agree
with,
I
think,
all
almost
all
of
them,
if
not
more.
I
would
like
to
make
a
couple
of
additions
to
her.
AD
AD
So
it's
important
for
companies
with
the
multicultural
workforce
that
they
have
to
be
able
to
attract
talents
while
comfortable
who's
willing,
bellevue
is
a
welcoming
city.
We
need
to
make
it
welcoming,
otherwise
people
aren't
going
to
come
here
and
amazon's
going
to
come
here,
microsoft,
symbol
away.
So
that's
the
point.
Okay.
I
like
to
make
sure
that
the
second
action
item
is
we
talk
about
technology.
How
can
we
provide
a
transportation
system
to
utilize
technology,
autonomous
vehicle
elections?
Electric
car
business,
private
sectors
are
working.
The
taiwan
you
just
look
at
the
street
stock
market.
AD
Electric
car
company
stocks
are
going
like
crazy.
We
need
to
realize
that
that
is
the
future
okay.
So
that's
beside
and
it's
transportation
system.
Transportation
is
a
very
important
infrastructure
to
a
a
work
environment.
People
want
to
be
here
because
of
that
or
one
of
them
one
of
many,
but
it's
important.
AD
The
third
one
is
working
collectively
with
regional
entities
such
as
greater
seattle,
partnership
and
others
state
and
whatever,
because
it's
going
working
with
them,
we
actually
can
change
one
of
the
items
specifically
I
mentioned
in
my
comment
to
you
guys.
I
have
a
look
at
your
your
finalized
thing
that
inc
very
details.
I
don't
know
whether
included
or
not.
You
know
it's
a
way
to
invest,
attract
investment
capital.
AD
It's
tax
incremental
financing;
okay,
it's
a
way
to
get
money,
which
is
the
scare
commodity
right
now,
everybody's
fighting
for
and
it's
a
very
easy
way
to
attract
capital
to
finance
projects,
and
we
need
to
work
with
greater
seattle
partnership
out
the
region
organization
with
the
state
see
how
can
we
change
our
method
of
doing
business
to
allow
tax
increment
financing?
These
are
the
regionalism
that
we're
talking
about
okay.
So
these
are
the
only
three
things
I
mentioned,
but
there
are
others.
AD
I
Okay,
council
members
on
yes,
thank
you
mayor.
You
know
I
like
the
thought
of
a
connected
15-minute
city
with
lots
of
actionable
items
that
we
can
take
care
of
right
away
and
especially
the
workforce
development,
because
I
do
think
that
while
we
appreciate
that
there
are
talent
that
wants
to
move
into
our
area,
we
have
a
lot
of
very
talented
people
right
here
in
bellevue
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
growing
those
talents
into
well-paying
jobs
in
bellevue
couple
thoughts
on
the
partnership
piece.
I
We
talked
about
greater
seattle
partners
and
innovation.
Triangle
haven't
heard
port
of
seattle
and
they
certainly
are
the
economic
engine
for
king
county.
So
I
think
we
need
to
be
looking
at
how
we
leverage
that
relationship,
especially
since
they
with
kerry,
provides,
have
an
east
side
liaison
outreach
person.
Now,
maybe
with
six
months
in
covid,
it's
been
hard
to
connect
in
that
area,
but
I
think
for
economic
development
tourism
that
that
is
an
area
that
our
residents
pay
into
the
port
of
seattle.
I
We
should
be
looking
at
how
we
create
value
for
the
east
side
with
that
and
then
how
we
activate
made
in
our
center
might
be
another
area
where,
when
I
think
about
the
theater,
when
we
reopen
how
do
we
activate
that
space
more
to
have
more
cultural
events
and
other
activities,
it
sure
seems
to
me
that
that
is
an
untapped
space
that
we
could
be
leveraging
even
more
and
then
I
think
in
the
similar
theme
to
councilmember
lee.
I
keep
thinking
about
the
fact
that
this
plan
is
amazing.
I'm
excited
about
it.
I
It's
about
talent
and
jobs
and
bringing
business
big
and
small
to
our
community
and
activating
the
ones
we
have.
But
then
we've
got
to
have
the
transportation
infrastructure
and
we've
got
to
have
the
affordable
housing,
because
otherwise
we're
going
to
have
this
job
housing
imbalance
and
it's
going
to
create
even
more
of
an
issue
for
our
transportation.
I
So
when
we
get
to
our
budget,
I
think
similar
to
the
task
force
from
bda
and
bellevue
chamber,
really
making
sure
that,
as
we
look
at
our
budget,
that
we
are
not
reducing
the
amount
of
capital,
improvement
and
investments
that
we
put
into
the
city,
because
we're
absolutely
need
that
in
order
to
make
sure
that
this
economic
development
plan
is
as
successful
as
possible.
So
thank
you.
I'm
super
excited.
Thank
you
very
much.
D
Thanks
this
has
been
a
great
discussion.
I
think
that
the
like
the
cool
council
is
very
excited
about
this
and
very
supportive
and
yeah.
I
just
can't
wait
to
move
this
forward.
I
just
we
are
going
to
see
some
changes
to
the
plan
right
based
on
the
comments
tonight
and
the
desk
packet
is
that
right.
AE
Yes,
we
we
would
intend
to
take
the
desk
packet
and
move
that
into
the
draft
plan
and
then
work
on
some
proposed
language
based
on
the
conversation
tonight
to
propose
as
well.
D
AC
Thanks
just
thanks
again,
I
don't
have
anything
for
today
and
tony.
Thank
you
as
well.
I
think
I
left
you
out
on
that.
First.
Thank
you.
C
No,
I
think,
we've
had
a
really
great
conversation.
We
brought
in
some
different
things
and
you
know
the
15
minute
thing.
There
have
been
some
interesting
articles
about
that
and
I
think
it's
it's
good
to
have
that
applied
to
us
here.
So
one
time
I
didn't
want
to
make
and
and
been
on
the
council
long
enough
to
know
and
through
many
many
things
that
we
have
this
tendency
to
do.
C
This
is
what
we're
talking
about
tonight
is
plans
and
strategies
and
we're,
but
then
we're
also
talking
about
we
only
we
want
plan
and
strategies.
We
also
want
to
know
action
plan.
We
don't
know
how
you're
going
to
do
these
things
and
that's
not
really
the
we're
kind
of
taking
like
our
vision,
statement,
council,
business
statement,
our
par
council
priorities
and
then
saying
in
addition
to
that,
we
want
to
tell
you
how
what
action
plans
and
we
want
action
plans
for
these
before
we
can
sign
off
on
the
vision
statement.
C
So
I
think
we
just
have
to
be
careful
about
how
much
are
we
going
to
burden
or
where
kind
of,
weigh
down
the
the
plan
and
strategies
with
action
items
which
probably
aren't
quite
always
baked,
because
we
have
to
take
the
plan
and
work
on
that
and
the
strategies
and
then
start
developing
the
action
items.
I
see
that
as
a
separate
piece
and
we
and
that's
that's
really-
a
staff
function
to
come
up
with
the
strategy.
C
Their
job
is
to
take
the
plan
that
we
adopt
and
the
strategies
as
a
policy
and
then
put
that
into
action.
Come
back
to
us
and
talk
about
it,
but
I
think
what
can
happen
is
it
gets
so
bulky
and
this
whole
big
piece
we
have
together
is
hard
to,
and
then
it's
really
hard
to
come
back
and
say:
are
you
doing
this
or
not,
because
it's
gotten
so
kind
of
puffed
out
a
little
bit?
That's
my
concern.
I
think,
because
a
lot
of
some
of
the
conversation
we've
had
is
about
well.
C
How
are
you
going
to
do
this
specific?
Is
it
going
to
be
five
people
doing
this
or
10?
Are
you
going
to
use
this
or
that,
so
you
have
to
be
careful
of
that,
so
I
I
would
prefer
to
see
what
we
have
here
without
adding
a
lot
of
detail
or
how
you're
going
to
do
these
things
into
this.
C
Have
this
plan
and
then
then
staff
comes
back
and
says
this
is
how
we're
going
to
implement
it.
So
I
think
that's
an
important
part
in
terms
of
how
the
balance
and
how
we
actually
get
work
done,
but
otherwise
I
think
it's
really
great.
I
think
it's
great
work
and
I
think
it's
what
we
need
to
come
out
of
the
covid
and
how
we
need
going
forward
to,
and
it's
also
answering
the
challenge
of
almost
being
overwhelmed
in
a
good
way
by
amazon
and
google
and
others
coming
in
and
already
doing
things.
C
So
how
do
we?
How
do
we
take
that
and
make
that
work
for
the
rest
of
the
city?
I
think
it's
important
and
that's
why
a
lot
of
the
comments
about
local
businesses
and
the
neighborhoods
and
all
those
things
are
important
too.
So
I
I
think
it's
a
great
plan.
C
It
can
make
us
great
strategies-
and
I
just
I
just
don't-
want
to
get
us
and
if
we
start
getting
the
action
items,
then
we
have
to
go
back
on
each
one
of
these
and
come
up
with
not
just
a
few
scattered
here
and
there.
So
that's
my
only
concern
at
this
point,
so
I
would
like
to
see
it
come
back
the
strategies
and
the
plan
and
adopt
that,
and
then
we
have
these
conversations
about
what
actions
are
we
going
to
do?
How
are
we
going
to
do
the
things,
but.
A
You
know
comments
on
the
draft
plan
that
you've
given
in
some
of
it's
wordsmithing,
some
of
it's
adding
some
language,
a
lot
of
it's
talking
about
what
you've
put
in
the
packet
tonight
and
it's
giving
it
a
thumbs
up
and
then
some
of
it
is
kind
of
things
we'd
like
to
see
a
little
more
of-
and
maybe
that's
not
for
this
plan,
but
maybe
that's
in
three
months
or
something
that
we
start
incorporating
a
little
more
of
what
some
of
us
have
brought
up.
A
A
Please
yeah,
so
you
know,
I
think
that
if
we,
if
people
want
to
meet
with
you
before
the
next
meeting
on
this,
they
should
have
the
opportunity
to
see
in
advance
what
this
is
going
to
look
like,
and
I
think
you've
you're
just
very
close
to
being
there,
and
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
weigh
in
and
have
this
conversation
and
and
the
dialogue
tonight's
been
really
helpful
and
tony.
Thank
you
for
all
the
help
that
you
and
your
team
have
done
with
the
city
of
bellevue.
A
H
Yeah,
thank
you
mayor.
I
guess
it's
the
question
I
like
to
always
ask
the
of
some
of
the
staff
mac
and
team.
If
you
could
articulate
what
the
next
steps
or
what
the
plan
is
moving
forward
as
well
as
I
would
like
to
get
your
take
of
any
issues
you
have
moving
forward
or
any
concerns.
AE
Mark
yeah
thanks
manager,
miyaki
yeah.
I
I
feel
pretty
good
about
being
clear
on
on
the
council
individually
and
collectively
on
a
few
of
the
things
that
you've
brought
up
here
tonight.
I
think
just
to
shed
a
little
bit
of
light
on
the
last
kind
of
round-robin
discussion
about
actionable
items.
AE
The
way
we
would
intend
to
bring
those
back
to
you
is
to
make
sure
there
are
direct
strategies
or
tactics
that
address
those
items
and
not
say
exactly
how
many
staff
are
dedicated
or
how
many
hours,
those
are
all
part
of
work
plans
that
we
work
on
as
part
of
our
quarterly
and
annual
updates,
but
I
think
just
to
bridge
that
gap,
we'll
go
back
and
take
the
comments
around.
Is
this
a
concept
that
can
be
implemented
in
the
economic
development
strategic
plan?
AE
If
the
answer
is
yes,
then
it's
appropriately
addressed
in
the
plan
and
we'll
bring
all
those
items
back
to
you,
and
so
we
heard
a
couple
and
and
mayor
you
just
mentioned
workforce,
we'll
make
sure
there's
an
actionable
item.
That's
implementable
in
the
plan
without
saying
exactly
what's
going
to
happen
year
to
year
with
that
strategy.
