Thank
you
mayor
tonight
there
were
seven
speakers
signed
up.
However,
one
of
the
speakers
has
withdrawn.
So
with
that
I
will
start
with
the
first
speaker,
who
is
paige
spicer.
B
I
Much
my
name
is
cynthia
cole.
I
live
in
lake
hills.
Last
tuesday,
a
friend
found
a
flyer
posted
in
a
bellevue
neighborhood
about
a
community
action
event
planned
for
downtown
bellevue
on
saturday
october
24th.
I
looked
up
the
group
on
twitter
and
found
their
posts.
I
This
group
known
as
end
seattle
every
night
direct
demonstration,
is
one
which
has
been
breaking
windows
of
businesses,
starting
fires
and
throwing
fireworks
at
the
police
in
seattle
and
seattle
embraces
what
is
known
as
direct
tactics,
including
property
damage,
and
advocates
for
the
total
abolition,
abolition
of
the
police
in
their
posts.
They
stated
it's
time
to
go
after
evil
capitalist
bellevue.
I
Last
I
checked.
Our
economic
system
is
based
on
capitalism,
which
includes
private
ownership
of
businesses,
an
opportunity
for
people
to
prosper.
How
is
this
a
justification
for
groups
like
in
seattle
to
go
on
after
to
go
after
our
city
and
take
over
our
streets
because
they
prefer
socialism
or
anarchy?
I
I
Also,
I'm
commending
council
member
newinghouse
for
his
strong
support
of
the
bellevue
police
department
and
public
safety,
also
mayor
lynn,
robinson
for
the
timely
manner
in
which
she
did
the
emergency
declaration,
the
civil
emergency
declaration.
This
is
what
council
members
are
duty
bound
to
do.
I've
read
some
comments
on
facebook
and
next
door,
stating
that
the
police
overreacted.
I
Yet
given
the
history
of
this
group's
actions
in
seattle
and
after
finding
propane
tanks
and
other
objects
stashed
around
downtown,
why
the
heck?
Wouldn't
they
have
been
prepared,
it's
being
called
and
is
it
being
called
an
overreaction
because
they
responded
in
a
way
that
kept
the
peace.
The
bellevue
police
did
an
excellent
job
and
their
prepared
response
kept
this
situation
from
being
splattered
all
over
the
evening
news.
I
Lastly,
knowing
what
they
stand
for,
I'm
not
sure
why
someone
who
serves
who
marches
within
seattle
would
want
to
continue
to
serve
on
the
city
council
of
the
evil.
Capitalist
bellevue.
Isn't
this
a
conflict
of
interest?
How
could
someone
in
good
conscience
take
an
oath
to
serve
a
city,
that's
home,
to
amazon,
microsoft,
google,
expedia
and
more
while
taking
to
the
streets
in
a
protest
that's
advertised
as
an
anti-capitalism
march?
B
J
Mayor
robinson
and
council
members,
my
name
is
ruth
lipscomb
and
I
live
at
101
cascade
key
in
bellevue.
I
wish
I
could
see
all
of
you
right
now
and
that
you
could
see
me.
Please
consider
allowing
us
to
see
you
in
gallery
view
at
some
point,
but
just
to
be
clear.
I'm
a
58
year
old
white
woman
who
has
lived
in
bellevue
for
nearly
30
years,
I'm
currently
also
a
participant
in
the
bellevue
essentials
course,
where
I
assumed
I'd,
be
learning
in
depth
about
how
the
city
operates.
J
Unfortunately,
what
I'm
learning
is
not
what
you
intended
to
teach
me.
I
am
seeing
the
narrative
that
the
city
is
trying
to
project
versus
the
reality,
and
the
city
is
looking
pretty
hypocritical.
For
instance,
last
week
chief
milette
spoke
to
her
class.
It
was
a
mix
of
glowing
praise
for
his
department
and
fear-mongering
about
a
protest
that
was
going
to
happen
on
saturday
night.
J
I
believe
those
of
us
who
identified
ourselves
as
bellevue
residents
made
up
about
half
the
crowd
and
we
were
well
briefed
on
safety
before
we
started
marching
the
police
drone
that
hovered
over
the
crowd
could
probably
provide
you
with
the
recording
of
what
was
said.
The
protest
was
peaceful,
well
organized
loud
and
energizing,
meaning
it
was
exactly
what
a
protest
should
be.
J
J
Why
was
there
not
the
same
level
of
concern
for
the
lauren
culp
rally
or
the
groups
that
came
from
eastern
washington
and
ended
in
downtown
park
recently
as
a
community
member,
I'm
more
concerned
about
groups
that
open
carry
than
I
am
about
groups
that
shout
bellevue
needs
to
take
a
long
hard
look
at
its
commitment
to
racial
equity.
I
suggest
you
consider
forming
a
task
force
to
take
the
steps
to
dig
deeper
than
you
have
into
what
truly
makes
a
welcoming
community
you're
not
there
yet.
Thank
you
very
much.
K
Now
all
right,
thank
you,
everybody
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
this
evening.
My
name
is
barbara
chevalier.
I
live
in
newport
hills
with
my
husband
and
two
young
children,
and
I
first
want
to
commend
the
city
on
their
vision,
zero
goal
and
all
of
the
actions
that
have
already
been
taken
to
make
our
streets
safer.
K
K
So
even
as
someone
who
cares
deeply
about
my
environmental
impact
and
would
like
to
set
a
good
example
for
my
children,
it's
quite
difficult
to
navigate
both
my
neighborhood
and
bellevue's
wealth
of
parks
on
foot
or
via
bus.
A
main
thoroughfare
in
my
neighborhood,
for
example,
doesn't
even
have
a
sidewalk
for
people
who
want
to
walk
to
our
neighborhood
shopping
center
or
a
new
park,
which
means
that
my
children
and
I
can't
safely
travel
to
those
places
without
a
car.
K
To
that
end,
I
strongly
encourage
the
council
to
continue
taking
decisive,
creative
action
in
a
timely
manner,
really
as
soon
as
possible,
to
achieve
both
the
vision,
zero
and
environmental
stewardship
and
k4c
targets
that
you've
adopted
to
make
bellevue
safer,
cleaner
and
healthier
for
all
of
us
residents.
Thank
you
again
for
your
time
and
consideration.
L
L
The
narrative
used
much
more
inflammatory
words
towards
this
black
lives
matter
group
than
it
had
to
other
groups
that
had
held
demonstrations
in
bellevue.
Recently,
I
don't
understand
the
why
the
city
would
use
a
platform
like
nextdoor
to
send
out
such
an
alert.
It
has
such
a
limited
reach
and
targets
a
specific
demographic
because
of
this
post,
my
husband
and
I
decided
to
attend
the
march.
We
have
attended
several
other
blm
events
in
seattle
and
kirkland.
Without
incident,
the
organizers
emphasized
safety
during
the
pre-march
rally.
L
We
they
encouraged
everyone
to
wear
masks,
including
some
onlookers
who
were
trying
to
engage
some
in
the
group.
They
went
overhand
signals
used
while
marching
to
communicate
to
everyone
things
to
help,
keep
the
group
together
and
to
make
sure
everyone
was
safe.
They
made
sure
everyone
had
a
protest
buddy,
so
people
who
came
alone
had
someone
else
looking
out
for
them.
Once
we
began
marching
what
struck
me,
the
most
was
the
excessive
and
intimidating
police
presence.
It
was
by
far
more
than
I
have
ever
experienced
at
previous
events.
L
L
I
don't
understand
what
prompted
the
civil
emergency
declaration,
but
it
was
effective
in
supporting
a
false
narrative
that
blm
protests
are
violent.
It
also
created
a
perfect
platform
for
the
bellevue
police
department
to
be
the
savior
of
the
city.
This
was
a
peaceful
protest
that
is
supporting
this
nation's
first
amendment
rights
to
free
speech.
I
will
be
following
up
with
the
city
council
and
chief
milette
for
answers
to
specific
questions
I
have,
but
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
voice
my
concerns
on
this
platform.
Thank
you.
M
M
M
M
I
had
people,
friends
of
mine
who
were
downtown
live
streaming.
They
did
witness
the
protesters
rolling
up
and
unloading
weapons
from
vehicles.
That
is
the
reason
that
there
was
a
weapons
ban.
It
absolutely
astonishes
me
that
people
can
deny
that
this
group
is
known
for
their
tactics.
If
you
will
that
are
not
peaceful
and
they
were
very
clear
that
they
wanted
to
be
disruptive
in
every
way
possible
in
bellevue.
So
I
commend
the
way
that
the
bellevue
city
council,
the
way
that
bellevue
pd
hansel
handled
this.
M
I
thank
the
other
departments
that
provided
mutual
aid
and
I
support
that
and
I'd
really
like
to
know
if
we
have
a
council
member,
that
continually
complains
about
mutual
aid
from
other
departments.
Why
is
that?
I'd
also
like
to
know
why
we
have
a
sitting
council
member
sitting
up
on
the
desk
listening
to
me
right
now,
who
would
participate
in
this
protest
that
cost
the
city
taxpayer
dollars
in
the
defense
of
the
city?
It
cost
businesses
money
to
defend
their
businesses
and
it
was
disruptive
to
the
city.
M
M
You
did
the
right
thing
and
there
are
a
lot
of
us
that
support
your
decision
to
sign
that
emergency
order
and
to
enact
that
weapons
ban.
We
support
bpd
and
we
just
want
our
city
to
be
safe
and
I'm
very
disturbed
by
some
of
the
things
that
I
saw
some
of
our
own
citizens
on
twitter,
doxing,
other
citizens
and
trying
to
identify
them
to
this
direct
demonstration.
Group
and
call
attention
to
them.
I
will
be
sending
you
communications
about
those
people.
It
is
disturbing.
B
B
Okay,
it
doesn't
look
like
she
has
connected,
so
that
is
the
end
of
our
signed
up
folks
for
this
evening.
If
there
is
anyone
else
participating
in
this
meeting,
who
would
like
to
provide
comment
to
the
council,
we
have
a
few
minutes
left.
Please
use
the
raise
hand
function.
N
Great
thank
you
good
evening,
council
members.
I
wanted
to
speak
briefly
tonight
in
support
of
ordnance
6513,
reducing
parking
near
frequent
transit
services.
It's
been
more
than
a
year.
B
B
A
Okay,
thank
you,
city
clerk.
I'm
sorry,
we
lost
our
first
speaker,
but
perhaps
they
can
email
us
what
they
wanted
to
say.
So
next
we
have
report
of
the
city
manager,
mr
miyaki.
A
Council
member
barksdale,
yes,
I'm
going
to
allow
you
a
time
to
for
a
monologue,
because
you
were
called
out
specifically
and
I'd
like
you
to
have
a
chance
to
say
something
go
ahead.
Thank
you.
Three
minutes.
C
So
first
I
just
want
to
address
the
the
facts
here.
So
first
I
was
out
there,
but
I
was
there
to
have
my
own
personal
account
of
the
protest
in
that
spirit.
If
I
could
I
just
I
just
want
to
note
you
know,
I
think
it's
interesting
that
by
implication
I
was
in
some
way
deeply
involved
with
the
planning
and
activities
that
were
were
related
with
the
saturn
with
saturday's
protest.
C
So
as
most
of
the
council
knows,
a
few
of
us
have
been
trying
to
have
a
conversation
around
racial
equity,
and
I.
L
C
I-
and
I
just
want
to
say
this,
really
highlights
to
me
how
important
it
is
to
have
it,
because
these
implicit
biases
are
problematic
and
troublesome,
so
I'll
put
the
same
call
out
that
I've
put
out
to
everyone
in
virtual
meetings
that
we've
had
as
a
city.
If
you
want
to
talk
about
race
or
talk
about
racial
equity,
let's
talk
about
that
right.
I
think
it's.
C
Show
up
during
a
council
meeting
to
highlight
something
based
on
an
implicit
bias
and
made
and
not
engage
around
racial
equity,
which
is
the
core
issue
that
we're
talking
about
here.
So
if
you
really
care
about
the
community
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
me
through
my
council
email.
Thank
you
and
let's
stop
spreading
the
last.
That's.
P
Thank
you
good
evening,
mayor
robinson
and
council
members.
I
have
one
item
under
the
manager's
report
to
bring
forward
to
the
council
this
evening
and,
as
was
mentioned
earlier,
it's
a
debrief
of
saturday
night's
protests
that
occurred
in
the
seattle's
downtown
core.
P
Just
by
way
of
background,
we
first
became
aware
of
the
a
planned
protest
in
the
downtown
core
last
week
and
what
we
learned
was
this:
the
protest
was
planned
for
saturday
october
24th
at
the
downtown
park
at
six
o'clock
p.m
and
as
you'll
hear
from
both
chiefs
in
a
few
minutes,
the
information
we
received
prior
to
the
event
led
us
to
believe
that
there
was
a
high
likelihood.
P
We
also
had
a
number
of
other
jurisdictions
assisting
us
from
outside
regional
jurisdictions
in
the
form
of
mutual
aid.
Overall,
the
protest
ended
up
being
a
peaceful
one,
an
outcome.
The
city
embraces
where
no
one
got
hurt.
There
was
no
damage,
no
altercations
and
no
one
was
arrested,
but
joining
me
this
evening
is
police
chief,
my
lad
fire
chief
hagan
and
our
city
attorney
kathy
guerla
to
provide
more
details
on
the
preparation
of
in
response
to
the
protest,
as
well
as
to
provide
you
with
information
about
the
emergency
order.
Q
Thank
you
good
evening,
mayor
and
council.
Last
monday,
we
received
information
at
a
group
that
has
been
associated
with
violent
criminal
behavior
was
planning
a
protest
in
bellevue
on
saturday
october
24th.
The
information
we
received
was
that
the
group
was
going
to
gather
in
the
downtown
park
around
6
pm
and
launch
their
activities
from
there.
Charming.
Can
you
put
the
slide
up
for
me?
Please,
the
first.
Q
One
based
on
credible
information
we
received
from
multiple
sources
and
the
knowledge
we
had
regarding
the
violent
behavior
of
certain
members
associated
with
this
group.
We
began
planning
for
the
worst
and
hoping
for
the
best.
This
group
has
been
very
active
throughout
seattle
to
include
the
capitol
hill
area.
Q
As
you
can
see,
the
seattle
times
published
the
story
back
in
august
listing
some
of
their
tactics
in
the
paragraph
preceding
this
one.
It
says
some
groups
of
protesters
consider
themselves
leaderless,
resist
media
presence
and
have
evolving
membership
and
tactics
making
a
full
accounting
of
a
group
difficult,
but
for
every
night
direct
demonstration.
The
purpose
is
this
is
the
is
in
the
name
as
one
of
the
groups
that
has
been
organizing
current
protests.
It
embraces
direct
tactics,
including
property
damage.
Q
Q
In
fact,
the
fire
department
also
mobilized
its
resources
to
respond
to
the
credible
threats
associated
with
this
group
and
right
now,
I'd
invite
chief
hagan
to
share
some
of
the
information
he
has
on
prepping
for
the
event
chief.
R
Thank
you
chief
milette
good
evening,
mayor
robinson
members
of
council
regarding
the
demonstration
bellevue
fire
prepared
for
the
event
last
saturday
evening
by
sharing
information
with
the
bellevue
police
department,
the
fire
desk
at
the
washington
state
fusion
center
and
the
seattle
fire
department,
fire
and
ems
were
mobilized
and
staged
in
support
of
law
enforcement,
and
we
participated
alongside
them
in
a
unified
command.
R
During
the
days
preceding
the
demonstration,
we
received
information
from
our
colleagues
at
the
seattle
fire
department
and
basically,
they
shared
with
us
that
we
should
be
well
prepared.
They
shared
examples
of
situations
that
they
had
encountered
in
seattle
with
over
60
nights
of
experience.
R
They
shared
that
in
certain
instances
they
had
experienced
violence,
they
had
to
respond
to
injuries
to
persons
and
perform
emergency
medical
service,
and
they
also
had
to
respond
to
intentionally
set
fires
like
the
police.
We
also
had
mutual
aid
from
our
neighboring
jurisdictions,
both
pre-staged
and
a
commitment
to
respond
if
needed.
Fortunately,
suppression
and
ems
resources
were
not
needed
that
evening.
Thank
you,
chief
milette,
for
the
opportunity
to
comment.
Q
So
was
every
member
out
there
that
marched
in
this
night
a
violent
individual,
no
obviously
not,
but
the
core
of
this
group
that
we
knew
was
the
core
and
the
nucleus
of
this
group
were
and
continue
to
be.
So
in
an
effort
to
prepare
the
community
for
what
we
were
concerned
was
going
to
be
a
violent
evening.
Q
Q
Q
Additionally,
businesses
reported
a
day
before
and
and
two
days
before,
that
they
found
stashes
of
potential
weapons
strategically
located
on
their
property.
They
had
never
seen
that
before
it
was
out
of
the
ordinary,
and
some
of
these
things
included.
Buckets
of
rocks,
sticks
with
points
on
them
and
propane
tanks
that
were
stashed
in
bushes.
Q
According
to
them,
there
was
no
logical
reason
for
these
things
to
be
located
where
they
were
again.
It
is
known
to
us
that
this
particular
group
or
members
associated
with
this
group
will
come
in
advance
of
a
of
a
protest
and
strategically
place
things
that
they
can
use
as
weapons
and,
as
you
could
see
in
the
image
before
you,
this
group
warned
its
members
to
avoid
certain
areas
because
they
knew
businesses
had
cameras
and
that
the
businesses
would
share
images
with
the
police
if
needed
off
to
the
left.
Q
Q
It's
not
mine
to
share
it's
sensitive
information,
but
all
of
these
things
were
contributing
to
me
being
concerned
that
we
were
going
to
have
an
event
in
in
bellevue
that
could
potentially
turn
violent
so
the
day
of
the
event.
Again,
we
started
prepping
and,
as
the
city
manager
said,
this
wasn't
just
a
police
department
response.
Q
All
the
city
departments
contributed
to
our
overall
plan
of
action,
and
so
we
we
had,
I
felt
at
the
at
the
night
of
the
event
enough
resources
to
deal
with
the
worst
case
scenario,
at
least
the
worst
case
scenario,
as
we
knew
it
to
be.
Q
We
gave
this
group
space.
We
gave
them
the
opportunity
before
they
even
started
gathering
in
the
downtown
park.
Q
We
had
some
of
the
reports
that
some
of
the
vehicles
were
parking
in
the
neighborhoods
and
they
were
getting
out
and
and
gearing
up
so
in
one
of
those
cases.
Members
of
my
police
department-
and
I
was
out
in
the
field
as
well
with
major
tarantino
and
we
rolled
up
on
one
of
one
of
that
group
of
people,
and
so
I
I
approached
them.
Q
Q
So
then,
the
members
of
this
group
gathered
in
the
downtown
park
where
there
happened
to
be
a
wedding
taking
place
our
goal
from
day.
One
was
to
set
a
safe
environment
for
everybody
that
was
involved
in
this
everybody
that
was
walking
in
a
such
a
beautiful
evening
in
bellevue
people
enjoying
the
downtown
park,
people
eating
in
the
restaurants
and
the
protesters
themselves,
as
well
as
the
police
officers
that
were
out
there
to
serve
the
public.
Q
So
as
this
was
going
on
in
the
days
leading
up
to
the
event,
I
was
in
direct
communication
with
our
city
attorney's
office,
because
mayor
and
council,
I
did
not
want
to
wait
until
the
window
started.
Breaking
molotov
cocktails
were
being
thrown
and
dumpsters
being
set
on
fire
to
ask
the
mayor
to
sign
a
declaration.
Q
We
had
enough
information
that
created
that
concern,
but
the
threshold
and
the
city
attorney
will
talk
about
this
shortly.
The
threshold
to
initiate
such
an
order
is
very
high,
and
I
knew
that
and
it
wasn't
until
they
started
putting
on
body
armor
started,
putting
on
the
gas
masks
the
goggles
and
breaking
out
shields,
which
again
is
consistent
with
the
video
images
that
we've
seen
in
seattle
over
these
last
several
months.
Where
then
violence
occurs
that
I
reached
out
to
our
city
attorney.
Q
I
explained
to
her
what
we
had
to
include
people
that
were
involved
in
the
designing
of
improvised
explosive
devices
in
seattle,
we're
seeing
a
vehicle
associated
with
this
group
and
the
person
that
was
designing.
These
things
was
seen
in
our
area
and
specifically
at
the
downtown
park,
and
I
can't
go
much
further
than
that.
Q
So
when
they
started
doing
all
those
things,
then
I
asked
the
city
attorney
to
please
contact
the
mayor
and
issue
the
order,
and
with
that
I'm
going
to
ask
our
city
attorney
kathy
guerla,
to
address
that
and
then
I'll
come
back
and
wrap
up.
My
part
kathy.
S
Thank
you
chief
milette
good
evening,
mayor
robinson
members
of
the
council.
So,
as
you
know,
saturday
evening,
the
mayor
did
issue
an
emergency
order
establishing
prohibited
items
which
is
often
referred
to,
and
I
will
refer
to
it
tonight
as
the
weapons
order
before
the
american
issue
an
emergency
order.
S
She
must
first
proclaim
that
a
civil
emergency
exists
within
the
city,
so
that
is
why
people
first
saw
a
proclamation
of
a
civil
emergency
within
the
city,
because
that
is
necessary
before
the
mayor
can
then
issue
orders
that
are
necessary
to
protect
people
and
property
emergency
orders.
So
the
mayor
does
have
authority
under
the
city
code,
to
proclaim
a
civil
emergency
when
there's
an
imminent
threat
of
violent
public
disturbances,
riots,
unlawful
assembly
or
other
hostile
forms
of
action.
S
So
based
on
the
information
that
was
available-
and
you
have
heard
some
of
that
tonight
from
the
chief
and
it
was
evaluated
by
my
office
as
well-
I
there
was
sufficient
information
concerning
the
threat
of
violence
that
it
supported
the
mayor
and
she
at
the
police,
chief's
request
did
proclaim
an
emergency
and
then
issued
the
weapons
order.
S
So
what
the
weapons
order
it
was
not
intended
to
do
and
does
not
is
apply
to
people
who
are
simply
peacefully
protesting,
and
it's
not
drafted
that
way.
S
If,
and
only
if,
the
police
determine
that
someone's
possessing
that
item
with
the
intent
to
cause
harm
either
to
people
or
to
property.
So
that's
the
intent
is
that
it
gives
the
police
a
tool
to
seize
items
that
can
be
used
to
harm
if
the
police
determine
that
someone's
possessing
the
item
with
the
intent
to
cause
harm.
S
So,
as
an
example,
light
bulbs
are
listed
in
the
weapons
order
and
if
someone
is
had
just
bought
a
box
of
light
bulbs
at
the
store
and
is
walking
down
the
street
and
happens
to
be
in
the
restricted
area
during
the
weapons
order
and
there's
no
in
dish
of
any
intent
to
cause
harm.
This
would
not
the
order
doesn't
prohibit
them
from
possessing
those
light
bulbs.
However,
light
bulbs
can
be
and
are
used
as
weapons.
S
The
police
had
probable
cause
to
believe
that
the
person
was
had
the
intent
to
basically
use
that
to
inflict
harm
start
a
fire,
for
example,
cause
property
damage.
Then
what
this
order
does
is.
It
gives
the
police
a
tool
to
confiscate
that
item
before
it
is
used
to
commit
a
crime,
and
without
this
weapons
order,
the
police
would
have
to
wait
until
the
crime
was
committed
in
that
case
and
damage
was
done
to
property
before
they
could
step
forward
and
seize
the
item.
S
So
so
that
is
really
the
the
main
gist
of
what
the
weapons
order.
Does
the
geographical
scope
of
the
order
was
crafted
narrowly
to
be
around
the
area
where,
where
the
police
believe
the
threat
to
exist
in
the
downtown
area,
and
only
in
public
places
such
as
streets
parks
or
sidewalks,
it
doesn't
apply
inside
people's
homes
or
their
businesses.
S
There
was
a
question
around
firearms
and
what
the
order
did
or
did
not
do
with
respect
to
firearms
and
particularly,
why?
Why
does
this
order
prohibit
other
things
from
other
types
of
items
from
being
possessed,
but
doesn't
prohibit
the
possession
of
a
firearm?
And
the
reason
for
that
is
because
the
state
has
preempted
local
governments
from
regulating
the
possession
of
firearms
any
more
stringently
than
the
state
does
so
the
city
just
does
didn't.
Have
the
authority
doesn't
have
the
authority
to
prohibit
the
possession
of
firearms?
S
However,
the
order
does
prohibit
the
discharge
of
firearms
in
the
restricted
area
and
consistent
with
the
constitutional
right
of
people
to
defend
themselves
and
and
defend
others,
and
that
is
something
the
state
has
allowed
the
cities
to
do.
That
is
in
the
order,
and
there
are
also
a
number
of
other
laws
that
are
already
on
the
books
that
regulate
and
apply
to
the
brandishing
or
discharge
of
firearms,
for
example,
that
the
police
already
have
available
to
them
even
absent
an
emergency
that
can
be
used.
S
The
the
order
was
provided
through
a
variety
notice
of
the
order
was
provided
through
a
variety
of
means,
because
the
order
creates
a
new
law
with
new
restrictions
and
new
legal
requirements
that
apply
in
the
downtown
area.
It's
important
for
the
city
to
get
notice
out
to
people
who
may
be
affected
by
it
and
so
per
the
city
code
notice
was
provided
to
the
media
and
through
a
public
address
system
and
through
a
number
of
other
systems.
S
In
order
to
ensure
that
we
got
the
notice
out
to
people
who
might
be
affected
by
it,
it
was
only
that
the
order
was
only
in
effect
for
a
little
over
three
hours,
only
as
long
as
was
necessary.
It
took
effect
at
7
15
pm
and
was
terminated
by
the
mayor
at
10,
35
p.m.
S
P
You
on
chief,
did
you
want
to
say
a
few
more
words.
Q
Yeah,
yes,
sir,
so
there
was
a
a
comment
that
was
made
earlier
that
we
treated
this
group
differently
than
other
groups
that
have
protested
in
the
city,
and
that
is
that
is
not
true.
We
treated
this
response
and
we
developed
our
response
based
on
the
information
that
was
given
to
us
about
this
particular
group's
violent
history.
We've
had
a
lot
of
protests
in
bellevue,
especially
over
the
last
five
and
a
half
years
that
I've
been
here.
Q
This
is
the
only
time
other
than
the
may
31st
riots
that
we
staffed
up
the
way
we
did
we've
had
black
lives
matter,
protests
where
we
didn't
call
for
any
mutual
aid
we
didn't
have
to,
and
we
gave
safe
space.
We
had
other
rallies
and
protests.
The
armenian
community
has
been
protesting
for
the
last
three
weeks
and
again
we
provided
then
the
resources
to
create
that
safe
environment.
Q
Q
Q
Businesses
were
were
safe
and
the
protesters
themselves
there
were.
There
were
counter
protesters
present
at
different
points
during
their
march,
and
we
were
able
to
allow
both
groups
to
lift
their
voices,
get
their
messages
heard
in
a
safe
environment
when
two,
when
you
have
the
close
proximity
of
two
very
different
ideologies,
history,
at
least
my
in
my
knowledge
leads
me
to
believe
that
there's
usually
a
conflict
and
it
can
result
in
violence
that
didn't
happen.
Q
P
Thank
you,
chief
mylett
and
chief
hagan
and
city
attorney
kathy
girl.
I
really
appreciate
it.
That
concludes
my
report.
For
this
evening,
mayor.
A
F
A
P
P
The
city
may
extend
the
interim
official
control
for
an
additional
six-month
period
if
a
subsequent
public
hearing
is
held
and
findings
of
fact
are
made
prior
to
each
renewal
joining
us
this
evening
is
mike
brennan,
the
director
of
development
services,
as
well
as
trisnastanista
consulting
attorney
for
a
brief
staff
report
before
you
open
it
up
for
a
public
hearing
and
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
mike.
T
Thank
you,
mr
miyaki,
good
evening,
mayor
robinson,
deputy
mayor
newman
house
and
members
of
the
council.
We
are
again
here
this
evening
for
public
hearing
to
extend
the
minimum
parking
in
from
official
control.
T
We
do
have
a
brief
staff
report
to
provide
and
we
are
seeking
council
direction
to
extend
the
ordinance
at
the
conclusion
of
the
at
the
conclusion
of
the
public
hearing.
So
I'll
turn
it
over
to
ms
tannis
to
provide
the
staff
report
prisoner.
U
F
U
Okay,
here
we
go
thanks
again
for
having
us
this
evening
to
present
this
this
item
to
you.
So
as
mike
mentioned,
this
is
a
public
hearing
item
to
extend
the
reduced
minimum
parking
interim
official
control.
U
For
this
item
we
will
briefly
explain
the
process
for
the
interim
official
control
and
speak
about
the
components
of
ordinance
number
six,
five
and
one
three,
which
is
the
interim
official
control,
provide
a
status
and
upcoming
steps,
update
to
you
and
then
our
recommended
action,
which
is,
of
course,
to
hold
the
public
hearing
and
and
and
approve
the
extension.
U
So
for
the.
I
want
to
begin
by
providing
a
little
bit
of
background
as
to
the
process
for
this
interim
official
control
council
adopted
this
ioc
through
ordinance
number
6513
on
may
18th,
which
per
the
growth
management
act
or
the
gma.
The
interim
official
control
is
good
for
six
months.
U
The
interim
official
control
may
be
renewed
for
additional
three
month
periods.
If
a
public
hearing
is
held,
so
the
public
hearing
tonight
will
satisfy
the
gma
requirement
to
extend
the
interim
official
control
for
an
additional
six
months.
U
U
These
are
the
potentially
eligible
locations.
You
may
recall
seeing
this
when
we
presented
this
item
to
you
before
this
is
for
informational
or
purposes
only
development
services
plans
to
up
this
map
annually,
but
we
do
recognize
that
transit
service
changes
and
the
responsibility
will
be
with
the
applicant
to
provide
documentation
of
current
eligibility
for
their
projects.
U
So
we've
received
20
some
comments
during
and
as
part
of
the
public
hearing
during
the
original
ioc
adoption
to
date,
we've
released
we've
received
maybe
a
dozen
or
so
comments
right
before
the
public
hearing
tonight
we
have
all
staff
has
also
talked
with
a
number
of
interested
parties
and
developers.
U
The
public
comments
also
confirm
council's
previous
direction
to
staff,
which
is
to
study
four
additional
components
to
streamline
and
make
decisions
earlier
for
parking
reduction
requests
and
to
look
at
the
what
is
the
appropriate
radius
from
frequent
transit
service
right
now?
It
is
the
quarter
mile,
but
council
asked
to
look
at
whether
half
a
mile
or
maybe
something
at
pulse,
is
an
appropriate
radius.
U
U
Some
upcoming
steps
for
this
item,
of
course,
council
to
hold
the
public
hearing
tonight
and
following
the
public
hearing
to
consider
approving
this
extension.
U
If
council
does
approve
this
extension,
the
east
bellevue
community
council
will
hold
its
public
hearing
and
make
an
approval
disapproval
decision
on
that
extension.
On
december,
1st
staff
is
continuing
to
work
to
develop
the
permanent
land
use
code
amendment
and
the
land
use
code.
Amendment
will
be
processed
by
the
planning
commission.
We
anticipate
the
first
study
session
will
occur
in
january
2021.
U
So
with
that
presentation
we
are,
we
wanted
to
just
close
by
asking
by
letting
council
know
the
direction
that
we
need,
which
is
to
hold
the
public
hearing
and,
following
the
public
hearing,
adopt
the
ordinance
to
extend
the
interim
official
control.
A
V
A
So
city
clerk
are
there
any
communications
for
this
topic.
B
Yes,
mayor,
thank
you.
There
are
five
speakers
pre-registered
to
speak
during
the
public
hearing
this
evening.
First,
I
would
like
to
mention,
as
ms
tannis
mentioned
earlier,
there
were
a
dozen
or
so
comments
that
have
been
included
in
your
desk
packet
for
this
evening
that
were
written
comments
to
counsel
related
to
this
item.
W
W
You
are
employing
a
range
of
strategies
to
increase
housing,
supply
for
market
and
income.
Qualified
housing,
reducing
parking
requirements
is
one
of
these
strategies
and
it
is
important
and
impactful.
Structured
parking
is
a
major
driver
in
multi-family
housing
costs
where
those
housing
developments
have
access
to
frequent
transit.
It
makes
sense
to
leverage
the
significant
the
massive
investments
our
region
has
made
in
rail
and
retired
transit
by
reducing
parking
requirements
for
people
with
easy
access
to
these
transit
investments.
This
is
both
wise
and
greatly
needed
public
policy.
W
Every
dollar
spent
on
parking
is
a
dollar
not
spent
on
housing,
and
we
have
a
tremendous
need
for
housing.
So
when
we
can
right-size
parking
requirements
by
letting
transit
provide
the
trip
to
that
resident
and
reduce
the
need
for
that
person
to
own
a
car,
we
can
reduce
the
cost
of
the
housing
unit
and
build
more
units.
It's
great
public
policy.
B
V
V
Lifewire
is
looking
to
develop
25
units
of
affordable
housing
for
survivors
of
domestic
violence,
who
are
coming
out
of
homelessness,
and,
like
many
other
providers
who
serve
homeless
households,
we
don't
need
a
lot
of
parking
most
of
the
households
we
serve,
don't
own
automobiles
and
can't
afford
them,
and
so
requiring
a
lot
of
parking
for
those
households
is
not
a
good
use
of
resources
for
housing
development.
It
is
also
not
a
good
use
of
the
space.
V
We
would
much
rather
use
space
in
a
housing
development
to
have
play
space
for
kids
or
to
have
office
and
community
space
for
services
than
use
that
space
for
parking
and
where
appropriate,
would,
of
course,
also
rather
use
it
for
more
apartments,
more
housing
units
and,
of
course,
you're
also
trying
to
address
density,
which
you'll
talk
more
about
on
wednesday.
V
I
am
very
much
in
support
of
anything
you
can
do
to
reduce
the
parking
standards
where
parking
is
really
not
needed
for
the
residents
of
apartments
because
they
don't
have
cars
and
because
they
can
access
transit.
And
so
I
we
are
in
support
of
extending
this
and
also
in
support
of
some
of
the
questions.
You're
asking
particularly
the
issue
of
perhaps
expanding
the
distance
from
a
quarter
mile
to
a
half
mile
or
something
in
between.
As
you
look
towards
the
permanent
ordinance,
and
that
is
all
thank
you.
So
much.
N
Good
evening,
council
members
and
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
with
you
this
evening
in
support
of
ordnance
6513.
It's
born.
It's
been
more
than
a
year
since
microsoft
announced
our
500
million
dollar
commitment
toward
affordable
housing
solutions
in
king
county
and
our
expansion
of
that
program
to
bring
our
total
pledge
to
750
million
dollars.
N
Data
from
our
continued
collaboration
with
zillow
shows
a
gap
of
approximately
thirty
four
000
middle
and
low-income,
affordable
housing
units
in
bellevue
as
of
late
2019,
and
that
does
not
take
into
account
the
staggering
impact
that
covet
19
will
have
on
housing.
Supply
and
affordability
simply
put
those
struggling
to
find
housing
they
can
afford
need
our
help
now
more
than
ever.
Now
is
the
time
for
bold
action,
and
we
applaud
the
city
for
continuing
to
prioritize
housing
policy
and
action.
N
With
this
in
mind
and
as
the
city
of
bellevue's
largest
employer,
we
strongly
support
ordinance,
6513
and
urge
the
council
to
continue
supporting
this
legislation.
Reducing
parking
requirements
for
multi-family
buildings,
near
transit
and
with
frequent
transit
service
reduces
housing
production
costs,
especially
for
studio
and
one
bedroom
units.
N
X
B
X
Am
not
supporting
the
reduction
of
parking
at
multi-family
units.
X
I
have
driven
around
my
neighborhood
here
in
east
bellevue
and
lake
hills
and
seen
that
the
market
rate
apartment
buildings
where
there
are
where
there
is
reduced
parking,
have
parking
all
over
the
street.
There's
one
right
there
at
148th
and
main
street,
and
there
each
unit
has
parking.
It
looks
like
they
each
have
a
garage,
but
there
are
multiple
cars
parked
on
the
streets
in
the
complex,
as
well
as
on
the
main
street,
and
then
at
the
summer
hill
at
the
ymca
ywca
units,
each
parking
spot
was
full.
X
My
big
concern
is
also
that
the
what's
called
frequent
transit
isn't
really
frequent
and
I'm
afraid
that
it
will
be
reduced
due
to
the
covet
impact
if
a
person
lives
at
the
ywca
apartments
at
148th
and
main
street
and
works
down
the
street
at
20th
at
the
fred
meyer,
it's
faster
for
them
to
walk
than
it
is
to
take
the
bus,
and
I
think
that
that
applies
to
just
that
to
most
of
the
most
of
the
apartment
units
that
are
around
the
so-called
frequent
transit.
X
I
don't
believe
that
bellevue
really
has
frequent
transit,
they
do
have
buses
that,
for
12
hours
a
day
run
two
to
four
times
an
hour,
but
they
are
what
was
commonly
called
milk
runs
and
that
takes
forever
to
get
from
one
place
like
I
said
just
to
go,
20
blocks,
it
can
take
up
to
an
hour
and
it's
and
it's
not
reliable.
So
I
think
it
does
a
disservice
to
the
people
living
in
those
departments
to
reduce
the
their
modes
of
transportation
by
reducing
the
parking.
X
I
also
am
very
concerned
that,
among
the
council
directives,
we
didn't
see
the
one
for
having
a
parking
study
done.
That
doesn't
seem
to
be
included
in
this,
and
I'm
also
concerned
about
the
combined
impacts
of
this
ordinance
6513
with
the
other
affordable
housing
strategies,
including
strategy
a1,
which
is
to
retain
the
affordable
housing
that
are
currently
low
market
rate
and
convert
them
into
subsidized
housing
or
affordable
housing.
X
B
M
Thank
you.
I
wanted
to
start
by
apologizing
for
my
exclamation
earlier
during
public
comment.
I
thought
I
was
muted.
That
was
actually
just
meant
for
myself.
Regarding
this,
the
the
topic
of
the
public
hearing,
I
wanted
to
co-sign
everything
that
miss
hummer
said.
M
I
also
wanted
to
point
out
that
in
my
neighborhood
we
have
actually
a
tremendous
amount
already
of
low
and
moderate
income
multi-family
housing,
and
it
was
interesting
when
I
listened
to
ms
krinsky
talk
about
the
planned
lifewire
units,
because
we
do
already
have
a
a
ywca
unit
or
a
complex
for
women
who
have
escaped
domestic
violence,
and
I
can
tell
you
that
every
single
one
of
those
units
has
at
least
one
vehicle
associated
with
it.
M
Quite
often,
they
have
two
because
of
boyfriends
that
live
there
and
sometimes
up
to
three
because
of
children
of
driving
age.
So
reducing
the
number
of
units
saying
that
people
who
are
in
that
situation
don't
have
vehicles
is
untrue.
M
We
also
have
the
new
porter
apartments
that
are,
that
have
a
quite
a
large
number
of
low-income
units
there,
as
well
as
market
rate
and
what's
happening
is
we
are
seeing
in
newport
hills
in
the
last
two
years,
three
years,
all
of
the
parking
from
those
two
actually
three
complexes
have
spilled
out
into
the
surrounding
neighborhood,
and
we
have
streets
that
are
crowded
southeast
58th
street
heading
from
the
chevron
toward
my
house
on
117th.
M
You
can't
hardly
get
through
it
anymore,
because
all
of
the
parking
has
spilled
out.
So
I
was
looking
at
the
map
of
where
a
lot
of
this
is
located
and
it's
interesting
because
it
really
does
kind
of
target
certain
areas
of
the
city,
and
I
am
a
little
concerned
because
I
ask
you
know
who's
really
benefiting
from
this.
I
understand
the
need
that
we
we
need
to
build,
you
know
or
retain
affordable
housing,
but
in
lowering
the
the
parking
requirement,
who
is
it?
That's
actually
benefiting?
M
As
ms
palmer
pointed
out,
it
doesn't
seem
like
it's
the
people
it's
supposed
to
be
serving
it's
not
sir.
It's
not
benefiting
the
residents
who
are
going
to
be
in
the
neighborhoods
that
are
going
to
be
impacted,
so
who
is
it
that's
actually
benefiting
by
reducing
these
parking
requirements
where
a
lot
of
this
is
targeted?
It
does
feel
a
bit
like
redlining,
and
I'm
just
going
to
say
that,
so
I
would
encourage
you
to
think
twice
and
to
continue
studying
this
before
putting
this
to
a
vote.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
Thank
you
that
ends
our
list
of
registered
speakers.
At
this
point,
I
would
ask
if
there
is
anyone
else
participating
in
tonight's
meeting
that
would
like
to
speak
to
the
council
under
the
public
hearing.
If
so,
please
raise
your
hand,
and
I
see
one
individual,
unfortunately
you're
connected
with
a
telephone,
so
I
don't
know
your
name,
but
can
you
hear.
B
You
can
you
hear
me,
I
can,
if
you
could,
please
start
with
stating
your
name.
Your
time
begins
now.
F
F
F
We
would
also
support
a
policy
that
is
forward-looking
and
incorporates
those
frequent
transit
areas
that
we
know
there
will
be
improvements
in
in
the
future.
So
the
map,
as
it
stands
right
now
we
understand,
doesn't
include
the
light
rail
stations,
for
example,
in
bell
red
projects
that
are
in
the
permitting
pipeline
right
now
will
be
open
and
constructed
at
the
same
time
that
those
stations
are
open
and
constructed.
F
B
A
Okay,
I
can
see
you
all
so
can
you
raise
your
hand
if
you
have
a
question
or
a
comment
about
extending
the
interim
official
control.
A
Okay,
deputy
mayor
I'll
start
with
you,
I
got
council
members
on
and
I
think
council
member
stokes
is
that
true
yeah
and
council
member
robertson,
okay.
H
Thank
you
mayor
and
thanks
for
the
great
presentation,
dude
just
two
questions,
one
on
the
the
bellevue
chamber
of
commerce
had
an
issue,
and
this
may
have
come
up
the
first
time.
This
came
around
four
months
ago
or
five
months
ago,
when
we
signed
on
to
this.
But
it's
in
regard
to
the
visitor
parking
is
that
something
that
we
should
address
in
this
in
this
in
this
ordinance,
or
is
that
something
that
can
be
addressed
later?
U
Yes,
we,
our
staff,
is
planning
on
looking
at
that
and
analyzing
that
element
of
the
downtown
code
as
part
of
the
permanent
regulations
development.
So
that
is
on
our
list
of.
H
It
is
on
your
list,
okay,
so
we
can
address
that
at
some
point
then,
and
and
evaluate
that
great
and
then
the
the
other
question
I
had
was
in
regards
to
two
of
the
speakers
during
the
public
hearing
on
the
I
believe
was
described
as
kind
of
redlining
or
specific
neighborhoods
or
areas
that
would
be
looked
at
as
having
you
know
this.
This
ordinance
take
effect
and
any
thoughts
to
that.
H
It
seems
to
me
this
is
really
dictated
towards
the
you
know:
transit
oriented
development,
but
just
wondering
if
you
had
any
thoughts
on
the
concerns
raised
by
two
residents.
There.
T
So
a
quick
response
to
that
question,
deputy
mayor
newman
has
so
the
the
way
the
ordinance
is
set
up
now
is
based
on
a
certain
frequency
of
transit
again
within
a
within
a
radius.
So
it's
constrained.
There
was
a
map
that
was
part
of
the
presentation
that
showed
an
example
of
those
areas
of
the
city
where
we
have
that
frequent
transit
in
those
quarter
mile
radius
kind
of
circles
around
those
spaces.
So
it
would
only
be
projects
that
are
within
those
boundaries
and
again
for
each
project.
T
Y
Council
members
on
yes,
thank
you
thank
you
staff
for
that
thorough
description.
I
did
have
a
couple
things
based
on
some
of
the
speakers
and
information
that
we
received.
I
I
agree
with
the
speaker
that
talked
about
our
maps
being
forward
looking.
Y
So
if
we're
talking
about
metro
transit,
I
think
that's
different
than
the
light
rail
that
we
know
that
all
the
entire
physical
infrastructure
is
almost
done.
They're
going
to
be
another
year
of
doing
commissioning
and
testing,
and
we
know
when
we're
anticipating
that
to
be
open,
and
my
sense
is
that
anything
that
we're
looking
at
building
now
what
it
won't
get
complete
before
the
light
rail
opens.
Y
So
I
would
like
to
make
sure
that
our
maps
are
reflective
of
what
we
know
are
going
to
be
built
as
physical
infrastructure
and
so
that
this
reduced
parking
really
does
reflect
that,
and
I
look
forward
to
between
now
and
and
may
having
these
and
more
conversations
with
our
developer
and
neighborhood
and
community
to
really
look
at
in
the
highest
density
areas.
Y
I
do
think
we
should
be
looking
at
what
makes
sense
for
the
parking
density
may
be
different
than
the
the
metro
transit
ones
where
the
frequency
may
be
fluctuating
a
little
bit
more.
So
I
think
it
does
make
sense
to
look
at
that
and
then
on
those
fixed
areas
like
the
light
rail,
we
should
be
looking
at.
Is
it
a
quarter
mile
or
is
it
a
half
a
mile
that
makes
sense
because
again
those
are
fixed,
light
rail
stations?
Y
A
D
Yeah,
I
kind
of
following
up
on
what
councilmember
just
said,
and
I
think
it's
important
to.
I
really
think
this
is
a
really
thing
we
need
to
move
forward
and
I
wanted
to,
I
guess,
just
raise
the
question:
could
we
that
they
brought
up
I'm
making
sure
that,
with
the
light
rail
stations
coming,
that
we
actually
apply
this
in
those
areas
and
it
kind
of
ties
into
what
councilman
rizzon
just
said?
D
I
think
just
an
increased
awareness
of
where
we
can
take
advantage
of
this
and
not
wait
until
something
happens
that
around
it,
that
you
know
we're
kind
of
behind
things,
so
just
keep
ahead
of
it
and
really
look
at
every
place.
We
can
do
this
and
make
sure
we
can
have
that
happen.
E
Great
thanks
mayor,
so
just
for
the
people
that
had
commented.
This
is
what
the
interim
control
that's
in
place
right
now
in
this
action
tonight.
Should
we
take
it
just
keeps
it
in
place,
while
the
planning
commission
studies
it.
I
think
that
that's
a
really
important
distinction,
because
we
as
a
council,
I
think,
unanimously
supported
putting
this
interim
control
in
place
so
that
the
planning
commission
could
study
it
and
create
permanent
regulation.
I
still
support
that
work.
I
think
this
is
a
really
important
step
for
the
city
to
make.
E
So
I
have
a
couple
of
questions
and
they
are
one.
Will
the
planning
commission
get
copies
of
all
of
the
input
that
the
council
has
gotten
as
well
as
caught
minutes
from
our
public
hearing
tonight?.
U
Yes,
thank
you.
I
will
thank
you
councilmember
robertson.
For
that
question.
We
will
be
the
those
materials
would
be
available
to
planning
commission.
I
think
we'd
like
to
see
how
to
best
relay
that
information,
whether
we
make
copies
of
all
of
them
or
whether
we
summarize
the
the
content
of
all
of
those
feedback.
They
would
certainly
have
the
benefit
of
understanding
the
discussions
that
council
has
had
during
the
original
adoption
that
the
public
hearing
of
the
original
adoption,
as
well
as
in
this
this
meeting
tonight.
E
Okay,
thanks
yeah,
because
we
did
give
direction
on
things.
We
wanted
the
planning
commission
to
study
at
the
when
we
did
this
back
in
may.
I
think
it's
really
important
that
a
lot
of
the
issues
that
were
raised
by
the
people,
commenting
both
verbally
and
in
writing,
be
you
know,
conveyed
to
the
planning
commission
because
there's
some
scoping
and
input
that
I
think
is
really
valuable,
particularly
from
neop
and
the
chamber
of
commerce
as
well.
As
I
mean
seattle
for
growth
and
microsoft,
etc,
as
well
as
the
neighborhood
folks.
E
If
people
are
concerned
about
this,
that's
one
comment.
Second,
the
east
bellevue
community
council.
If
they
reject
this
on
december
1st,
it
would
still
be
in
effect
for
the
rest
of
the
city,
but
just
not
in
that
area.
Is
that
correct?
E
Yes,
that's
correct!
I
mean
I
know
that
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
everyone
else
knows
that.
Finally,
I
I
do
support
the
additional
work
items
could
particularly
the
parking
study
being
allowed
earlier
in
a
development
entitlement
process
etc,
and
I
also
think
that
it
would
be
useful
to
put
on
our
longer
work
plan
the
look
at
parking
requirements
near
high
capacity
transit
for
office,
not
just
residential,
because
if,
if
an
office
is
being
used,
it's
right
next
to
light
rail,
they
probably
don't
need
as
much
parking.
So
thanks.
Z
Thank
you
ma'am
here.
I
believe
that
the
parking
study
parking
issue,
it's
very
important,
that
he
should
be
looking
into
and
at
any
way.
So
I'm
really
glad
that
you
know
what
the
council
member
opposite
mentioned.
This
is
an
effort
to
really
look
into
that
and,
in
addition
to
the
affordable
housing,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
cost
of
housing
is
lower.
We
can
accommodate
more
people
living
in
value.
Z
I
think
this
is
all
very
important
issues
that
council
need
to
pursue,
so
I
think,
referring
to
the
planning,
commission
and
so
on.
It's
absolutely
the
thing
to
do,
and
I
believe
is
one
trans
member
still
supports
us
wholeheartedly.
But
I'd
like
to
follow
up
with
deputy
mayor
newhouse's
question
about
the
neighborhoods.
Z
We
heard
a
couple
of
people
from
the
neighborhoods
indicating
some
maybe
concerns.
So
I
like
to
make
sure
that
you
know
it's
real.
You
know
the
the
way
we
live
and
it's
gonna
change,
especially
with
the
transparency
system.
Z
You
know
making
things
affordable
housing
all
the
issues
will
change,
but
we
need
to
make
sure,
even
though
we
focus
on
effort,
I'm
making
housing
less
costly,
we
making
sure
we
are
meeting
the
the
requirements,
for
you
know
housing
developments
for
building
developments,
for
you
know
whatever
developments
that
we
want
to
do
as
we
heard
from
the
the
housing
folks,
and
we
also
need
to
pay
attention
to.
How
can
we
address
the
changes
impact
to
the
neighborhoods?
Z
So
I
think
we
need
to
include
them
into
our
study
into
all
the
planning
departments.
You
know
work
moving
forward
so
that
whatever
we
do,
that
may
impact
them.
We
know
what
to
do
to
accommodate
the
changes
we're
going
to
be
expecting.
A
You
councilmember
rexdale
did
you
want
to
make
a
comment.
O
A
O
Have
anything
beyond
what
was
already
stated
in
terms
of
support,
because
I
think
it's
important
that
we
do
reduce
parking
members
to
make
room
for
affordable,
more
affordable
housing,
because
that's
such
an
pressing
need
in
the
community.
So
I
support
important.
A
Thank
you
so
I
mean,
as
I
recall,
we
are
simply
bringing
bellevue
up
to
the
standards
of
the
state
that
the
state
has
already
mandated
this,
and
so
we
are
going
to
match
them
and
then
have
the
planning
commission
look
at
other
things
that
they
might
include
in
this.
Is
that
correct
in
this
ordinance
in
terms
of
in
transit,
oriented
development.
U
U
The
planning
commission
will
then
be
able
to
look
at
whether
or
not
that,
for
instance,
the
distance
requirement,
if
that's
the
appropriate
distance
that
we
want
to
have
if
there
are
other
ratios
that
we
want
to
consider.
But
currently,
as
it
stands
now,
the
regulations
in
the
interim
visual
control
conforms
to
the
rcw.
A
It
is
so
hard
to
have
your
friends
visit
if
you
don't
have
visitor
parking,
because
on
street
parking
is
usually
only
two
hours
at
a
time,
and
so
I
just
you
know,
I
hope,
they're
realistic
when
they're
looking
at
the
impacts
of
reducing
if
they
thought
about
reducing
visitor
parking,
especially
for
older
adults
who
have
people
who
come
and
and
stay
with
them
or
do
errands
for
them.
So
anyway,
I
know
the
planning
commission
will
be
taking
comment
as
well,
and
people
have
an
opportunity
to
weigh
in
so.
Thank
you
for
all
of
this.
A
I
think
we're
ready
to
make
a
motion
deputy
mayor.
A
P
Mayor
in
this
particular
resolution,
number
9832
authorizes
the
execution
of
the
public
safety
emergency
radio
network
operator,
interlocal
agreement
and,
just
by
a
background,
the
council
received
a
briefing
on
it's
also
known
as
peace
earned
system,
progress
and
operator
analytical
agreement
back
on
october
5th.
P
This
evening,
staff
will
provide
some
answers
to
some
follow
questions
that
arose
during
that
study
session,
and
then
we
would
request
see
we
are
seeking
action
this
evening
on
resolution
9832
so
joining
us
this
evening
is
nathan,
mccommon,
deputy
city
manager,
as
well
as
chief
hagan,
with
the
fire
department
and
dave
mendel
director
of
the
emergency
radio
communications
division
of
the
peace
earned
project
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
nathan.
P
T

newinghouse
city

miaki
and
members

Please
charmaine
our
purpose
this
evening
is.
I
would
ask
you
to
consider
the
adoption
of
resolution
number
9832
authorizing
the
execution
of
an
operator
ila
for
p
cern.
That's
an
acronym
that
sounds
stands
for
puget
sound
emergency
radio
network
next
slide.
R
We
were
directed
at
that
time
to
return
this
evening
under
other
ordinances
and
residents,
and
I
would
like
to
remind
you
that
we
did
get
some
questions.
Staff
received
those
questions
and
some
input
from
council
members,
and
we
would
like
to
address
those
for
you
this
eve
with
that.
Again,
I'd
like
to
reintroduce
mr
david
mendel
from
king
county
to
address
those
questions
and
then
I'll
take
the
last
slide
david.
G
Thank
you
chief,
thank
you,
madam
mayor
and
council
members,
for
inviting
me
back
tonight
over
my
shoulder
right
there.
You
might
see
my
one
of
my
animals
knocking
on
the
door
while
I'm
talking
here
so
my
apologies
for
that
distraction,
I'll
be
addressing
council
member
questions
related
to
how
the
project
is
preparing
peace
earn
for
the
next
round
of
technology,
the
organizations
that
we
meet
with
on
technology
and
the
ways
that
we
have
positioned
pcern
to
be
ready
for
the
technology
environment.
G
20
years
from
now,
project
staff
regularly
attend
several
annual
trade
shows
and
participate
in
committee
work
related
to
radio
communications
and
technology
in
general.
This
exposes
us
to
current
training
vendor
activities
as
well
as
technological
development.
In
the
public
safety
communications
area.
I
have
project
staff
who
are
participants
in
several
different
technology
forums.
G
One
of
them
is
region
43,
and
this
is
a
statewide
regional
planning
committee
for
public
safety
communications.
They
meet
monthly
and
they
discuss
trends
related
to
frequency,
allocation
and
licensing
issues.
This
group
consists
of
leaders
in
local
public
safety
communications
throughout
the
state
of
washington.
G
G
G
The
peace
earned
project
team
has
prepared
the
new
network
for
the
next
round
of
technology
by
designing
pcern,
to
be
digital
scalable
and
to
evolve
with
technological
developments
as
they
occur
over
the
next
20
years.
It
is
important
to
know
that
we
can
build
off
of
what
we
have
as
future
technologies
emerge.
G
G
Not
only
are
we
concerned
with
technology,
but
one
of
the
biggest
concerns
in
any
network
today
is
cyber
security.
We
have
submitted
pcern
to
an
in-depth
security
review
and
we
will
recommend
that
the
future
operator
perform
periodic
analysis
of
the
network
security
throughout
the
life
of
the
system.
So
please
know
that
security
is
also
a
part
of
our
technical
awareness.
G
A
Okay,
thank
you.
So
I
can
see
you
all
and
I
know
council
member
lee
has
some
questions.
I'm
going
to
let
him
begin,
but
who
else
would
like
to
make
comments
or
questions
if
you
could
raise
your
hand?
Actually
I
don't
see
council
member
robertson
for
some
reason
there.
She
is
okay,
so
whoop
you
disappeared
again:
okay,
well
anyway,
councilmember
lee.
Why
don't
you
start.
Z
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
As
you
probably
all
know,
I
mean
I'm
big
on
public
safety.
Public
safety
is
number
one,
because
this
is
what
the
government
can
do
for
people
for
the
public,
and
especially
when
you
talk
about
the
regional
public
safety.
You
know,
public
safety
sees
no
boundary.
Z
You
know
we
all
have
to
make
sure
that
we
all
safe
ultimately-
and
we
went
through
this
many
years
ago,
when
the
city
of
bellevue
council
were
asked
to
support
a
300
million
dollar
lobby,
and
we
found
out
at
that
time
that
we
are
working
with
the
very
old
technology
using
a
radio
system
and
the
only
vendor
in
this
technology
is
one
company,
and
so
we
are
actually
the
answer
we
get
is.
How
do
we
know?
That's
the
right
price.
How
can
we
be
competitive?
Z
How
can
we
keep
the
costs
down
because
we
all
want
to
have
the
best,
obviously
for
public
safety,
because
it's
important,
but
to
get
the
best
we
got
to
have
all
the
best
up-to-date
up
to
state
state-of-the-art
technology
and
we
recognizing
it
wasn't
so
we're
struggling
with
it.
But
you
know
the
fact
is.
We
have
to
have
it
and
one
example
that
you
know
we
have
challenges
that
we
at
the
time
just
had
the
school
mass
killing,
and
we
know
that
you
know.
Communication
system
is
like
cell
phone.
Z
Every
officer
in
the
street
can
respond
to
a
school
of
mass
killing.
Unfortunately,
you
know
by
not
having
the
opportunity
to
use
a
technology
that's
available.
We
have
to
go
through
the
radio
system
going
through
certain
protocols
because
it
is
absolutely
necessary
because
of
the
limitation
technology
and
all
the
parties
involved.
You
know
you
have
to
go
through
lots
of
limitations.
Z
This
is
all
good,
it's
all
necessary,
but
you
know
I
just
want
to
so
when
this
presentation
was
made
to
us
and
that's
the
first
time
we
actually
kind
of
as
updated,
and
I
had
opportunity
to
ask
and
so
I'm
sure
the
rest
of
the
council.
How
are
we
keeping
up
with
the
technology,
and
so
I
haven't
heard
any
response
until
you.
O
Z
We
have
this
council
meeting
and
I
appreciate
mr
mendo.
He
called
me
this
morning
talk
about
it
and
I
think
I
talked
to
nathan
before
and
he's
also
very
helpful,
but
I
just
want
to
emphasize.
Z
We
all
understand
the
importance
of
this
and
I'm
supportive
100,
especially
this
oden
seems
to
have
given
us
a
opportunity
to
have
a
governing
board
an
opportunity
to
have
a
new
agreement
to
do
something
to
do
something
not
just
talking
about
this
they're
just
having
a
lot
of
technology
workshop
seminars
understanding
what's
available,
we
know
technology
is
available,
but
we
need
to
be
focusing
on.
How
can
we
apply
it
to
our
particular
regional
system
in
the
pacific
northwest?
Z
So
I
think
that
requires
you
know
transparencies.
We
need
to
know
what's
going
on,
we
as
partners,
I'm
really
glad
that
this
new
entity
with
southern
board
that
would
include
bellevue.
You
know
as
a
key
player
of
this.
I
think
we
all
need
to
work
together.
Obviously,
but
we
need
to
work
together
know
what's
going
on,
you
know
we
have
to
have
a
work
plan
by
the
board
through
which
that
we
have
a
proactive
agenda
plan.
Priority
we
have
transparency
that
we
are
going
to
go
after
this.
Z
Z
Over
your
three
minutes,
sorry,
thank
you.
So
I
appreciate
this
is
what
I
would
like
to
do.
I
would
like
to
have
us
as
a
city
participate
and
have
the
new
board
pizza
and
to
come
up
with
the
plan.
Z
You
know
with
the
transparency,
and
then
we
have
the
accountability
to
make
sure
it
will
happen.
So
this
is
my
recommendation,
so
I
support
it,
but
I
really
want
to
make
sure
you
know
pizza
hears
us
and
the
city
as
we
are
represented.
We
need
to
move
forward
to
make
sure
this
becomes
a
reality,
not
just
saying
well,
it's
nice
to
wish
for,
but
we
gotta
take.
Actually.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
Council
member
lee,
thank
you
so
I
heard
mr
mendel
say
that
as
technology
improves
that
they
are
going
to
adopt
this
system-
and
maybe
I
know
councilmember
stokes-
has
his
hand
raised.
Maybe
do
you
want
to
address
that
briefly,
mr
mendel.
G
Yeah,
no,
absolutely
that
is
part
of
our
of
our
plan
and
our
ongoing
operations.
We
have
a
contract
that
allows
us
to
update
this
network
as
new
technologies
come
out.
It
is
scalable.
It
is
something
that
we
can
build
off
of
and
it's
definitely
part
of
our
plans.
Okay,.
D
Yeah,
I
just
wanted
to
emphasize
that
I
think
I
appreciate
what
councilmember
lee
has
been
saying,
but
I
think
this
it's
basically
questions
that
you
know
the
questions
have
been
asked
and
answered,
and
we
that's
exactly
what
is
being
planned
and
I
think
in
october
we
heard
that
I
did
want
to
mention
too
and
to
his
point
that
it's
important
everybody
knows
that
the
need
and
the
system
has
to
be
examined
and
that's
built
into
it.
D
This
came
before
the
regional
policy
committee
a
couple
of
years
ago
when
they
were
working
on
this
in
several
several
sessions.
Actually-
and
this
was
one
of
the
big
questions
we
asked
at
the
time-
was
whether
or
not
and
bellevue
is
represented
on
that,
whether
or
not.
Why
are
we
just
doing
telephones
again
or
you
know
that
effect
and
the
answers
were
very
clear
and
why
and
how?
D
How
was
the
best
approach
at
this
point
and
it's
very
clear
that
this
group
will
be
looking
to
changes
the
one
of
the
things
that
was
a
problem.
The
old
system
was
that
you
really
couldn't
change,
and
this
one
you
can't
so
I'm
very
confident
that
councilman
release
concerns
are
will
be
addressed
and
already
being
addressed
and
they're
they're.
D
You
know
right
on,
but
I
I
think
we're
this
is
where
we're
going
and
bellevue
will
have
a
big
say
in
this,
and
so
I'm
very
positive
and
ready
to
vote
on
this,
and
I
I
think
you
know
this
is
a
good
conversation
and
and
that's
where
we're
going.
C
You
know,
I
I
think
it's
I.
I
appreciate
councilmember
lee's
points
to
make
sure
that
we
are
thinking
about
this
critically.
I
don't
think
I
have
any
further
comments
beyond.
A
Moving
forward,
okay,
thank
you
for
that
council
members
on.
Did
you
have
any
comments.
Y
Yeah,
my
only
comment
is
that
I
I
appreciate
councilmember
lee's,
raising
this
concern
and
as
I'm
looking
at
the
the
memo
and
the
information
that
was
shared
by
mr
mendel,
it
looks
like
the
agreement
adopted,
does
have
provisions
in
there
for
updates,
upgrade
and
repairs,
and
so
my
only
question
would
be:
is
there
some
potential
to
actually
establish
some
kind
of
a
of
a
a
duration
by
which
we
would
expect
to
see
an
and
a
replacement
schedule?
So
it
isn't
this
whole
during
the
life
of
this.
Y
Y
G
In
in
the
inner
local
agreement,
there
is
not
a
clause
that
talks
about
replacement
at
the
end
of
the
life.
That's
where
I
was
referring
in
my
presentation
here
a
minute
ago
about
us
bringing
to
the
operator
once
it
once
it
is
formed
to
make
that
part
of
their
work
plan.
So
they
have
a
formal
work
plan
that
is
transparent,
that
people
can
see
and
they
can
be
working
towards
the
replacement
within
our
project
and
the
contract.
G
We
do
have
contractual
provisions
to
update
and
upgrade
the
radio
system
continuously,
so
the
upgrades
occur
every
other
year
and
the
updates
are
literally
about
every
month
and
that
will
keep
the
system
fresh
over
the
life
cycle
of
it.
I
do
expect
some
time
down
the
line.
There
will
be
technological
developments
that
necessitate
other
changes
and
that's
where
you
would
start
looking
at
replacement.
Y
G
Y
O
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
council
members,
on
councilmember
robertson.
Did
you
have
any
comments
or
questions.
E
No,
no,
I'm
I'm.
I
appreciate
the
conversation
we're
certainly
going
to
want
to
work
on
what
the
replacement
replacement's
going
to
be
before
the
end
of
the
useful
life
of
this
new
system,
because
we
don't
want
to
get
behind
again
where
we
like.
We
did
on
this
one
this
one.
We
were
supposed
to
have
replaced
this
a
few
years
ago
and
I
don't
know
if
it's
held
together
with
bailing
wire
and
duct
tape,
but
it
needs
to
be
replaced.
E
So
I'm
very
supportive
of
moving
this
forward,
and
I
really
appreciate
my
colleague
raising
the
issues
to
make
sure
that
we
are
pro
more
proactive
during
the
course
of
this
contract.
So
I'm
I'm
ready
to
vote
thanks.
So.
A
A
R
A
R
Okay,
anyway,
sorry
mayor
to
answer
your
question,
I
think
the
ila
is
sufficient
as
presented.
Z
I
agree.
All
these
things
are
nice
things
to
do.
We
need
I'm
I'm
ready
for
action.
We've
been
waiting
for
this
for
15
years
yeah,
I
don't
know
we're
still
waking
working
on
the
radio
system.
We
can
make
the
radio
system
as
trouble-free
as
possible
by
the
end
of
the
day,
we're
still
depending
on
one
vendor
with
one
system
that
is
not
going
to
be
compatible.
Z
It's
going
to
not
serve
the
community
because
it's
not
the
best
system
that
would
serve
the
need
of
the
community.
I
just
gave
an
example
of
school
mass
killing.
Okay,
if
everybody's
got
a
cell
phone,
a
device
on
their
hand,
but
much
as
you
can
use
two,
why
do
we
have
to
go
through
a
bunch
of
radios
and
going
through
all
kind
of
protocols
and
making
sure
that
everything
gets
to
the
people?
Who
actually
can
get
to
this
thing?
Z
If
it
doesn't
make
sense,
and
to
do
that,
we
need
to
have
a
program
like
an
action
plan.
That's
that
we're
going
to
do
that.
I
appreciate
what
comes
from
mizan
said:
have
a
schedule.
We
may
not
get
there,
but
that's
fine,
but
at
least
we
have
you
know.
I
know
that
we
we
have
to
take
care
of
the
existing
system.
That's
most
of
the
time.
That's
going
to
be
doing
that.
How
do
we
improve
on
the
radio?
How
do
we
make
it
work
better?
Z
A
G
A
Okay,
well,
I
think
I'm
ready
for
a
motion.
H
A
A
So
what
is
our
next?
Oh,
let's
see
now
we're
on
to
the
I'm
sorry,
my
notes
are
kind
of
broken
up
right.
P
You
so
in
front
of
you
this
evening
was
added
to
your
agenda.
It
is
resolution
9833
ratifying
and
confirming
the
civil
emergency
order
establishing
prohibited
items
on
of
october
24th
of
2020
kathy
garla
city
attorney
provided
a
lot
of
detail
about
the
order
itself.
A
Okay,
well
did
you
just
to
answer
questions
so
let's
go
ahead
and
get
emotion
on
the
table.
A
E
Thank
you.
I
I
support
this
action.
I
think
that
it
was
an
appropriate
decision,
given
the
sum
total
of
the
information
we
had
at
the
time.
I
appreciate
mayor
robinson,
you
interrupting
a
saturday
night
to
make
sure
that
our
city
is
looked
after,
and
I
really
wanted
just
to
convey
my
gratitude
to
our
police
department,
our
fire
department,
all
our
departments,
our
legal
department
who
work
to
make
saturday
night
a
peaceful,
safe
experience
for
everyone
concerned.
E
I
think,
without
all
that
planning
we
might
have
had
a
very
different
outcome
and
it's
hard
to
say
you
know
it's
hard
to
prove
a
negative,
but
I'm
very
proud
of
the
work
this
city
did
and
that
we
adopted
this
resolution
or
this
this
emergency
for
just
the
shortest
amount
of
time
possible.
So
thank
you,
everyone
for
that.
I
will
support
the
motion.
Z
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
I
want
to
say
a
few
things.
I
believe
that
this
is
a
tremendous
but
good
work.
The
police
department
has
done
and
the
mayor
you
have
given
the
authorization
to
do
that.
Then
we
are
happy
to
rectify
it.
The
reason
why
we
did
those
is
because
you
know
we
have
a
government
state
of
government
system
that
makes
sure
that
you
take
care
of
emergency,
but
you
still
have
to
have
us
rectified
to
approve
it
so
that
you
don't.
You
know
just
abundantly.
Z
Do
things
on
your
own
without
proper
justification
and
reason,
and
I
think
the
chief
police
has
made
a
tremendous
presentation
today
to
us.
You
know
there's
nothing
more
effective
than
prevention.
That's
what
I
always
say:
the
police
is
the
most
important
and
most
neglected
most.
The
least
appreciated
people
in
you
know
employment.
You
know
you
only
hear
about
it.
When
something
happens,
somebody
some
some
disaster
take
place,
something
somebody
may
get
hurt.
Somebody
dies.
Somebody
has
an
accident,
you
know
when
we
don't
hear
about
anything
it's
because
they
are
doing
their
job
prevention.
Z
Prevention
is
the
best.
That's
what
they
do.
If
you
don't
hear
from
them
that
means
they're
doing
their
job,
and
I
think
this
is
what
they're
trying
to
do
and
that's
what
they
accomplished.
So
I
appreciate
the
explanation
that
she's
laid
out
so
well,
and
I
also
sympathize
with
people
who
don't
understand
it
all,
including
even
sometimes
us
we
don't
hear
everything
until
afterwards,
but
unfortunately
we
do
hear
and
we
do
see
the
results
they
bring
to
the
city
of
value
constantly,
because
we
are
such
a
safe
city.
Z
We
don't
hear
much
about
them
and
the
bad
things
that
happen.
So
we
take
it
for
granted.
We
do,
but
then
we
know
through
experience
through
our
evidence
or
history.
They
they
they're
good
they're,
the
best
there
is
so
I
think
that
she
made
that
point
today
explain
to
a
lot
of
people
that
I
appreciate
the
public
they
come
and
say
we
went
to
the
protest.
Nothing
really.
Z
Absolutely
because
they're
not
they're,
not
part
of
the
group,
that's
plotting
it
if
they
were,
they
would
probably
not
be
here.
Talking
to
us,
you
know,
so
I
really
appreciate
those
folks
saying
that,
but
I
think
that
she
made
a
good
point
and
the
people
should
ask.
I
I
encourage
them.
That's
a
good
thing
to
do
so.
It
gives
us
the
mayor,
the
chief
police,
the
city
council,
the
opportunity
to
explain
why
certain
things
were
done
right.
Z
Certain
things,
bad
things
did
not
happen
because
they
did
all
the
right
things
this
you
know
I
mean
so
we
didn't
need
to
give
them
the
benefit,
not
even
given
the
benefit,
but
we
need
to
have
trust.
That's
the
basic
principle
of
government
governance,
basic
principle,
people
living
together.
They
treat
each
other.
Well,
we
have
trusting
people
based
on
what
we've
done,
based
on
what
bad
things
did
not
happen.
That's
the
point
right.
Z
A
D
Yeah
I
appreciate
the
comments
have
been
made
on
this
and
it
was
really
really
great
to
have
the
chief
go
over
this,
and
I
appreciate-
and
I
hope
the
message
got
out
which
he
says
all
the
time
is
that
we
have
a
dual
role:
it's
not
just
preventing
bad
things
to
happen,
to
downtown
or
happen
to
the
city
and-
and
we
have
it's
a
complex,
very
complex
situation,
and
I
think
it's
important
to
get
the
message
out
and
and
part
of
the
confusion.
D
This
time
was
people
really
didn't
understand
what
was
going
on.
It
was
hard
to
get
communications
out,
people
who
came
and
talked
to
us
about
their
concerns
tonight
did
not
frankly,
the
council
didn't
know
all
the
circumstances
going
on,
so
that
makes
it
complicated
and
we
are
in
a
situation
just
around
us
where
there
have
been
some
really
bad
things
happening
between
different
groups
and
police
departments
and
all
that.
So
all
of
that
is
part
of
the
context.
D
So
I
think
it's
you
know
if
we
learn
from
this,
it's
a
good
teaching
moment
in
a
sense,
and
I
think
we
approached
it
and
learned
a
lot
from
it
and
looking
back
in
retrospect,
it
was
done
very
well,
and
I
appreciate
that
and
I'm
hoping
that
we
can
look
at
this
and
even
do
better
in
terms
of
communication
to
our
community
and
to
people
who
have
that
are
exercising
their
right
to
to
protest
and
in
a
peaceful
manner
and
separate
these
things
out.
D
So
people
feel
comfortable
with
that,
and
people
don't
want
you
don't
have
one
group
saying
all
we
want
is
to
be
protected
and
another
group
saying
we
want
to
have
our
voices
heard.
I
think
we
can
make
those
two
things
go
together
and
I
think
this
is
a
big
step
forward
and
I
really
you
know,
be
nice
if,
if
everybody
could
hear
the
chief's
conversation,
so
I
hope
that
gets
spread
around
because
I
think
that's
important.
So
I'm
I'm
very
I'm
hopeful
that
we
are
really
approaching
a
better
approach.
D
You
know
a
better
way
to
deal
with
this
in
bellevue
and
hopefully
we're
not
going
to
have
any
more
big
problems
on
it,
but
I'm
sure
we
will-
and
I
think
we're
much
better
prepared
after
this.
It's
just
in
retrospect.
We
see
it
better
than
what
is
happening.
That's
always
a
problem,
but
a
good
job,
and
I
am
looking
forward
to
or
even
doing
better.
Thank
you.
A
Well
said,
council,
member
stokes:
all
right:
are
we
ready
for
a
vote
to
adopt
the
resolution?
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
opposed.
Okay,
thank
you.
So
we
have
one
more
item,
but
I
would
like
us
all
to
be
able
to
take
a
break
so
we're
gonna
take
a
five
minute
break
here.
You
can
put
your
videos
on
and
we'll
come
back
at
805.
A
A
Budget,
I
know
that
tony
you
can
talk
about
it
tonight,
presented
all
the
questions.
People
had
asked
and
answers
to
most
of
those
questions,
and
so,
if
there's
any
outstanding
comments
or
questions
from
last
week,
I'd
like
to
give
people
an
opportunity
to
do
that
and
again
deputy
mayor
will
be
timing
to
make
sure
that
we
keep
our
comments
to
three
minutes
at
a
time,
so
that
everybody
gets
a
chance
to
speak.
So,
mr
miyaki,
would
you
like
to
introduce
the
topic
tonight
oops?
I
can't
hear.
F
P
Thank
you
mayor
and
council
members,
you
tweeted
up
quite
well
mayor
and
before
we
I
turned
this
over
to
the
presentation
of
the
staff.
P
One
of
the
things
we
are
looking
for
is
a
direction
to
prepare
an
ordinance
for
council
consideration
and
adoption
when
we
take
a
final
adoption
of
the
the
operating
and
capital
budgets
in
december,
but
joining
us
this
evening
is
tony
caller
finance
and
management
director,
as
well
as
mike
brennan,
director
of
development
services
and
terry
jones,
also,
the
fiscal
manager
and,
as
with
respect
to
the
impact
fees
for
the
school
districts,
we
have
thomas
mullins,
the
director
of
capital
projects
with
the
is
across
school
districts
and
stuart
al
shusterman,
project
manager
of
capital
planning
and
construction
for
the
renton
school
district.
P
For
presentation
later,
with
that,
I'm
going
to
kick
it
over
to
tony
to
start
it
off,
and
we
go
from
there.
Tony.
AA
AA
P
AA
Not
sorry,
I
apologize
that
was
a
bad
quote
from
this
side.
Thank
you,
city
manager,
miyaki,
good
evening,
mayor
and
deputy
mayor
and
council
members.
It's
nice
to
be
back
here
this
evening.
I'm
gonna
ask
mike
to
pull
up
the
powerpoint
and
give
a
couple
of
quick
opening
slides
then
I'll,
take
over
and
give
a
bit
of
the
agenda
this
evening
and
remind
you
where
we're
at
where
we're
headed
and
then
I'll
turn
it
back
to
mike
so
director
brennan.
T
Happy
to
do
that,
let
me
get
the
slideshow
going
here
good
evening,
mayor
robinson
members
of
the
council,
as
mr
miaki
mentioned,
we
are
here,
come
for
an
annual
update
that
occurs
with
the
development
services
fees.
T
We
will,
at
the
end
of
our
presentation
this
evening,
be
looking
for
council
direction
to
prepare
ordinances
for
consideration
as
part
of
the
adoption
of
the
2021
budget,
21
22
budget
for
our
development
services,
permit
fees
and
rates,
in
addition
to
the
school
district
impact
fees
that
are
charged
by
the
renton
and
issaquah
school
districts,
and
we
will
be
providing
more
detailed
information
on
all
of
those
topics
in
just
a
minute.
The
calendar,
ms
call,
will
provide
some
additional
information
regarding
the
upcoming
budget
calendar.
T
T
We
will
provide
some
specifics
on
the
proposed
fees
and
rates,
discuss
the
school
district
impact
fees
and
how
those
are
administered
through
our
permit
process
and
then
paid
to
the
school
district
or
delivered
to
the
school
district
and
then
again
at
the
end,
seeking
council
direction.
So
at
this
point
I
will
hand
it
back
to
miss
call
who
can
speak
to
where
we
are
in
the
council
calendar.
With
regard
to
the
budget.
Tony.
AA
Thanks
so
this
first
slide
you
see
this
afternoon
is
actually
our
overall
calendar.
It
says
that
we
started
back
in
june
with
our
budget
workshop.
You
can
see
we're
in
the
weekly
study
sessions.
Now
we
have
a
public
hearing
coming
up
on
november
23rd
and
then
tentative
budget
adoption
is
scheduled
for
december
7th
and
next
slide.
Please,
and
you
will
see
that
last
week
the
city
manager's
preliminary
budget
was
presented
tonight.
We
have
development
services.
We
also
have
time
on
the
calendar,
as
mayor
robinson
mentioned,
for
further
follow-up
attachment
e
of
your
packet.
AA
This
evening
has
many,
not
quite
all,
but
many
of
the
responses
to
many
of
your
questions
last
week.
If
you
have
further
questions
or
if
you
have
other
questions
that
have
arisen,
I'm
happy
to
take
those
at
any
point
in
time.
Next
week
we'll
be
back
with
human
services,
we
have
a
little
bit
of
work
left
to
do
on
the
cip
to
bring
back
to
you.
AA
Utility
rates
will
be
here
on
november,
9th
fire
inspection

16th
and
then
that
public
hearing
on
november
23rd
in
adoption
on
december
7th
and
with
that
the
next
slide
there's
many
actions
that
will
require
to
adopt
the
the
specific
action.
That's
in
front
of
you
this
evening
will
be
to
get
concurrence
on
the
21
development
services
fee
ordinances.
With
that,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
back
over
to
mike
who
will
go
through
the
details
of
that.
T
Thank
you
tony.
So,
just
a
few
highlights
of
what's
happening
with
development,
as
this
quite
remarkable
development
peak
continues
forward,
even
as
we
are
working
our
way
through
the
impacts
of
the
kog's
19
pandemic.
This
is
really
now
in
over
a
six
year.
Duration,
since
we
really
started
ramping
up
the
the
change
that's
occurring
across
the
robust
construction
investments
continue
to
happen.
T
We
have
a
number
of
large
projects
that
are
under
construction
and
many
in
the
pipeline
are
still
making
their
way
through
the
permit
process
for
both
fellaini's
entitlements
and
then
the
formal
kind
of
engineering
and
building
permit
review
and
as
really
part
of
the
city's
growth
strategy
supported
by
the
council.
T
The
most
of
that
growth
is
really
occurring
in
our
growth
centers
in
the
downtown
area
and
in
the
bel
red
area.
This
is
a
photograph
of
the
1001
office
project
in
northern
part
of
downtown
one
of
the
projects
that
amazon
has
announced
that
they
will
be
leasing.
T
Additionally,
the
downtown
is
still
very
strong
in
its
growth.
We
are
still
seeing
significant
office
development,
as
council
is
very
much
aware.
Amazon
has
made
an
announcement
to
move
a
number
of
their
employees
into
the
downtown
over
the
next
five
years.
This
is
a
project
of
the
555
office
tower
right
across
from
the
transit
center.
This
will
be
our
first
600
foot
tower.
That's
the
bottom
of
the
hole
they
are
now
on
their
way
up
with
respect
to
construction
of
the
bay
structure
in
the
garage.
T
Our
office
vacancy
rate
is
at
about
last
reported
at
about
4.3
percent
in
downtown,
so
still
a
significant
amount
of
space
for
upside
and
all
of
the
as
far
as
future
office
development
and
all
of
the
projects
that
are
currently
under
construction
are
least
or
mostly
leased.
So
certainly
strong
demand
continues
in
job
growth,
as
anticipated
in
the
downtown
area.
T
Future
office
demand,
as
you
read
about
and
talk
to
folks,
certainly
a
significant
amount
of
uncertainty
of
what
the
future
looks
like
not
only
from
an
economic
standpoint,
but
also
how
office
use
will
occur
in
the
future,
so
we're
staying
in
close
contact
with
our
contacts
in
the
business
community,
as
well
as
the
development
community
to
understand
what
they're
hearing
and
seeing
as
we
plan
ahead
for
growth
in
bellevue
again,
the
housing
development
has
really
been
focused,
a
lot
of
it
in
the
bellred
area,
but
specifically
along
our
light
rail
alignment
as
anticipated,
it
is
very
much
a
catalyst
for
future
development
in
the
city
we
have
right
now
this
year
issued
about
514
units
of
new
housing,
development
or
multi-family
housing
development
expect
permits
issuing
issue
before
the
end
of
the
year,
including
another
255,
more
units,
so
we're
still
seeing
significant
demand
in
housing,
which
is
a
certainly
a
critical
need
for
the
city
to
have
that
housing
occurring
where
those
job
growths
are
where
the
job
growth
is
happening
as
well.
T
We
really
again,
as
I
mentioned,
have
a
significant
amount
of
development
happening
across
the
city.
We
have
about
four
issued
permits
for
about
four
and
a
half
million
square
feet
of
development
currently
and
as
we
head
into
next
year
in
the
pipeline,
there
is
an
equivalent
amount
of
development
in
our
future,
so
just
some
really
quick
graphs
to
give
you
a
sense
of
the
magnitude
as
anticipated.
T
This
is
showing
our
the
actual
volume
of
permits
issued,
ranging
from
very
small
to
large
high-rise
buildings,
but
it
gives
you
a
a
a
sense
for
kind
of
the
the
duration
of
this
development
cycle,
as
we
peaked
out
in
about
20
15
16,
and
continuing
to
ride
the
top
of
that
curve
with
a
downtick
as
expected
in
2020,
as
we
slowed
a
bit
in
the
spring
as
we're
all
responding
to
the
impacts
from
the
pandemic.
T
This
one.
This
is
the
graph
that
is
really
quite
striking
and
that
this
shows
the
value
of
the
construction
represented
by
the
permits
that
we're
issuing
going
back
to
2013
on
the
far
left
bar
to
what
we're
forecasting
on
the
far
right
for
the
end
of
2020..
T
The
end
of
2020
is,
you
know,
significantly
above
the
highest
that
we
have
occurred
or
value
permitting
that
we
we've
issued
in
a
year
during
this
development
cycle,
so
again,
very
strong
demand
and
growth
in
the
city
and
a
significant
amount
of
work
moving
its
way
through
development
services,
processes
and
staff
are
are
working
very
hard.
So
again
the
the
response
to
the
peak
a
number
of
projects
in
the
in
the
review
process.
We
were
very
agile.
T
We
could
continue
to
deliver
services
in
our
paperless
permitting
solution,
even
as
we
moved
everybody
out
of
city
hall
to
remote
work
at
home,
very
small
delays
in
making
that
transition
almost
seamless
so
quite
happy,
and
with
that
remarkable
transition
and
proud
of
the
team
that
made
that
happen,
we
are
continuing
to
expand
our
use
of
technology
to
make
sure
that
we
are
delivering
the
services
as
efficiently
as
we
can
to
our
customers
and
in
adjusting
our
staffing
levels
appropriately
and
mayor
robinson.
T
Last
week
you
asked
a
question
about
the
five
ftes
that
are
proposed
in
the
development
services
budget,
going
into
21
and
22
on
whether
or
not
those
positions
could
be
supplanted
by
using
consultants
in
lieu
of,
and
we
use
a
range
of
different
solutions.
Just
to
respond
to
the
demand.
Consultants
is
one
tool
that
we
use.
We
have
a
number
of
consultants
on
contract,
we
use
limited
term
employees
and
we
also
use
full-time,
regular
employees,
which
those
positions
would
be.
We
generally
don't.
T
We
don't
hire
the
positions
until
we
have
the
workload
and
the
revenue
to
support
those
positions.
If
it's
a
shorter
duration
kind
of
uptick
that
we're
experiencing,
we
would
generally
turn
to
our
consultants
when
we
anticipate
it's
going
to
be
longer
term
or
we're
seeing
some
potential
for
turnover
in
our
staff
as
a
result
of
retirements,
etc.
T
We
usually
go
out
and
we'll
fill
those
positions
with
ftes,
but
again
we
want
to
have
positions
available,
so
we
can
move
quickly
when
we
see
the
demand
coming
and
then
on
the
downside,
we
reduce
our
costs
and
reduce
our
staffing
levels
appropriate
to
maintain
that
alignment.
So
I
don't
know
if
you
have,
if
you
want
additional
information
on
that
more
than
happy
to
provide
that
either
tonight
or
at
a
future
time.
T
So
tonight
we
are
going
to
moving
to
the
feed
the
proposed
fee.
Adjustments
there's
some
major
kind
of
elements
here.
One
is
the
purpose
of
this
is
to
maintain
alignment
with
our
financial
policies
and
our
cost
recovery
objectives.
We
are
going
to
be
updating
our
hourly
rates.
There
are
fees
that
are
charged
based
on
the
value
of
permits.
Those
are
value
of
construction.
T
Excuse
me,
those
are
our
building
permits
and
then
for
large
volume
permits
smaller,
but
larger
volume
permits
we
charge
a
flat
rate
based
on
an
average
amount
of
time
that
those
permits
take
to
process
so
we'll
be
speaking
up
a
bit
more
about
each
of
those
here
in
just
a
minute.
The
financial
management
or
guiding
principles
that
we
continue
to
manage
the
finances
for
development
services
through
is
that
the
funding
structure
needs
to
support
the
line
of
business
through
economic
cycles.
T
The
majority
of
what
development
services
does
is
paid
for
through
the
fees
that
are
charged
to
our
our
customers.
The
applicants
second
bullet
should
pay
for
the
services
that
receive
that
they
receive.
This
is
a
fee
for
services
model
and
has
been
successful
for
a
number
of
years
that
the
fees
need
to
be
predictable
and
understandable.
We
don't
want
to
have
large
fluctuations
in
fees.
We
want
this,
the
fee
structure
to
be
one
that
that
people
can
understand
and
that
we
can
explain.
T
And
thirdly,
we
keep
an
eye
on
our
region
to
make
sure
that
our
our
fees
are
appropriately
aligned
with
where
our,
let's
call
it
our
competitive
neighbors
are.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
aligned
in
that
way
as
well.
So
we
keep
our
eye
on
that.
T
The
cost
recovery
objectives
very
quickly
here,
the
on
the
left
side,
starting
on
the
left
side,
with
the
light
blue
boxes,
public
information
policy
development
and
the
pre-submittal
support
kind
of
early
engagement
is
a
is
general
fund
activities,
general
fund
supported
activities
and
development
services,
so
the
landis
code,
development
work,
for
example,
or
people
coming
into
the
permit
center
that
at
that
time,
is
covered
by
the
general
fund.
T
As
we
move
farther
to
the
right,
you
start
engaging
into
the
cost
recovery
for
the
service,
so
discretionary
or
entitlements
and
land
use
are
50
fee
supported,
50
general
funds
supported
and
then,
as
you
move
to
the
red
boxes,
where
it's
100
percent
fee,
supported
for
engineering
review
or
building
permits,
transportation,
utilities,
etc,
inspection
services
and
then
just
the
business
functions
for
development
services,
permit,
processing,
administrative
support,
technology,
support,
etc,
is
100
fee
supported
activity
as
well
and
built
into
our
rate
model.
T
So
what
I
want
to
do
now
is
turn
the
the
presentation
over
to
terry
jones
who's,
the
fiscal
manager
for
development
services
to
walk
you
through
more
of
the
specifics
on
the
proposed
fee.
Adjustments,
terry.
AB
Thank
you
good
evening,
so
the
first
adjustment
we
are
proposing
is
the
building
fees,
adjustment
and
the
building
permits,
use
the
value
of
the
project
to
set
the
fees
so
routine.
Adjustments
to
the
tables
that
set
the
fees
are
by
cpiw
and
for
2021.
We
propose
adjusting
the
tables
by
cpiw
of
one
percent.
AB
Next
slide,
please
thank
you.
So
our
proposed
increase
to
the
hourly
rates
range
from
one
point:
six
percent
to
four
percent,
and
this
chart
shows
the
proposed
hourly
rates
for
land
use,
transportation,
fire
utilities,
review
and
inspection
the
rates
increase
by
three
to
seven
dollars
per
hour
and
the
factors
that
impact
the
rates
include
salary
and
benefit
costs,
inflationary
m
o
and
cause
changes
for
our
internal
overheads,
such
as
our
general
self-insurance
and
facility
costs.
AB
AB
Thank
you.
It's
it's
slow
for
some
permits.
We
charge
a
flat
fee
based
on
the
average
hours
of
review
and
inspection
time
and
the
flat
fee
can
change
by
the
hourly
rate
and
or
the
average
time
so
because
of
this
sum
flat
fees
increase
and
some
flat
fees,
decrease
shown
are
two
examples
for
land
use,
review
on
a
commercial
mechanical
permit.
The
flat
fee
increases
by
five
dollars
and
for
right
away
review
on
a
street
use.
AB
Permit
the
flat
fee
increases
by
six
dollars
a
couple
of
valuation
based
permit
examples
includes
fees
for
all
review
and
inspection
work
required
to
complete
the
permit.
So,
in
the
case
of
a
minor
commercial
project,
the
total
change
in
fees
is
87
and
for
the
single-family
addition
of
500
square
feet,
the
total
change
in
fees
is
96
dollars
to
ensure
that
we
are
regionally
competitive
we've
compared
our
fees
to
our
neighbor
jurisdictions.
AB
AB
T
You
terry,
so
just
a
few
comments
about
the
school
impact
fee
update,
so
the
school
districts
of
issaquah
and
renton
both
use
impact
fees
to
pay
for
their
capital
projects,
an
impact
fee
they're
set
by
their
school
boards
within
the
school
district
boundaries
within
their
jurisdiction,
essentially
they're
a
pass-through
fee
for
us.
So
we,
the
city,
collects
the
fee
when
residential
construction
is
occurring
within
those
district
boundaries
and
and
we
collect
it
during
the
permit
process
or
when
we
issue
the
building
permit.
T
Those
fees
are
then
directly
transferred
over
to
the
school
district,
either
renton
or
issaquah,
where
those
projects
may
be
constru
are
being
constructed.
Bellevue
doesn't
retain
any
of
the
the
impact
fee
that
is
collected
again.
Those
fees
are
what
are
used
to
support
their
capital
programs,
and
we
do,
as
mr
miyaki
mentioned,
have
two
representatives
on
the
call
this
evening,
one
from
the
izakawa
school
district
and
one
from
the
wretton
school
district
district.
T
If
you
have
questions
for
them,
so
just
to
give
you
an
idea
of
where,
in
the
city,
the
school
district
boundaries
kind
of
cross
over
the
city
boundaries
in
the
lower
right
corner
of
this
map
is
a
little
challenging,
but
in
the
lower
right
corner,
is
the
renton
or
excuse
me,
the
issaquah,
school
district
or
isd.
T
It's
the
lakemont
area
of
the
city,
down
to
almost
lake
smamish
and
then
in
the
far
lower
left
corner,
is
a
small
segment
of
the
renton
school
district
that
overlaps
with
the
city,
boundaries
of
bellevue
and
so
projects
that
are
permitted
within
residential
projects
that
are
permitted
within
those
school
district
boundaries
would
be
subject
to
the
applicable
school
district
impact
fees.
So
this
and
the
impact
fees
that
they're
charging
are
different
based
on
their
program
needs
the
issue
school
district,
single
family
impact
fee.
T
T
That's
a
3712
dollar
increase
from
2020
multifamily,
going
to
12
043,
an
increase
of
24
160
and
likewise
the
the
renton
school
district
is
increasing
their
impact
fees
for
2021
to
7681,
for
a
single-family
home
and
for
each
multi-family
unit
thousand
nine
hundred
and
ninety
eight
dollars.
So
that's
a
quick
overview
of
the
proposed
fee
impact
fee
adjustments
that
the
school
districts
will
be
that
have
set
and
again
we
would
collect
those
fees
through
our
process
and
transfer
that
revenue
directly
to
those
school
districts.
T
So
that's
the
conclusion
of
our
presentation
this
evening,
mayor
robinson,
we
are
again
seeking
council
direction
this
evening
to
bring
forward
ordinances,
to
implement
the
proposed
amendments
to
the
permit
fees
and
rates,
as
well
as
the
school
district
impact
fees
which
are
covered
under
separate
ordinances.
A
There
we
go
okay,
I
see
council,
member
barksdale
and
then
council
member
lee,
then
council,
members
on.
Let's
start
with
that,
council
member
barksdale.
C
All
right,
I
just
had
a
question
around
for
the
development
services
you
mentioned
like
reducing
the
staffing
as
needed
and
wanted
to
know
if
there
was
funding
built
in
to
the
fee
structure,
and
I
I'm
curious
about
what
that
looks
like
in
terms
of
frequency
and
sort
of
like
what
is
there
some
way
to
cushion
that
or
what
have
you
and
if
there's
money
factored
into
the
development
services,
to
help
manage
that
in
a
way
that
is
equitable.
T
Yeah
yeah
thanks
councilmember
barksdale,
that's
a
great
question:
we
didn't
kind
of
share
the
whole
the
whole
financial
structure,
but
yes,
so
we
do
retain
a
reserve
that
helps
us
through
development
cycles.
So
what
the
reserve
does
is
a
few
things
it
does
what
you
just
described.
It
allows
us
to
retain
the
talent
and
expertise
that
we
need
and
that
we've
developed
through
down
cycles
so
they're
with
us
as
we
we
return
on
the
upside,
but
they
also.
T
It
also
allows
us
to
maintain
kind
of
moderate
rates,
meaning
we
don't
have
big
fluctuations
in
rates
as
the
development
activity
drops
and
increases,
our
rates
stay
relatively
consistent
and
we
adjust
by
inflation
and
some
other
upward
pressures
over
time.
But
we
don't
have
big
spikes
so
that
reserve
that
development
services
our
fund,
has
a
reserve
for
the
purposes
of
maintaining
a
core
staffing
complement
as
we
go
through
down
cycles.
Yes,
okay,.
Z
Thank
you
mike
there's
a
chart
that
shows
application
versus
approval
projects.
Can
you
go
to
the
chart?
Please
it's
the
first
two
or
three.
Z
Z
Here
you
go
here,
you
go
permit
volume,
yeah
permanent
application
issue
totally
the
last
few
years.
You
know.
Obviously
the
issue
would
be
following
you
know,
with
lower.
We
would
have
a
gap
between
application
and
issued.
I
noticed
the
gap
is
increasing
from
2008
17
18
19..
Why
is
that
just
curious.
T
So
what
has
the
larger
the
gap,
the
meat,
the
larger
the
backlog?
That's
in
the
system,
so
when
we
see
that
gap
growing
which
we
did
in
2017
and
2018,
you
may
remember
back
then
councilmember
lee.
We
we
came
in
and
asked
for
a
number
of
new
positions
to
help
us
keep
pace
with
the
development
to
to
bring
that
gap
back
down
because
the
larger
the
gap
gets.
Then
performance
starts
to
erode,
so
we
want
kind
of
like
we
need
to
watch
that
very
closely.
T
This
is
just
one
very
high
level
metric,
though
there
are
a
lot
of
things
that
we
look
at
when
we're
looking
at
performance
and
where
we
need
to
add
resource
consultants
or
new
staff
etc,
but
as
you'll
see
as
we're
moving
through
this
year,
we're
bringing
that
gap
closer
together
and
anticipate
that
that
will
occur
as
we
head
into
2021,
but
we
always
want
to
have
some
backlog
in
the
system,
because
if
it
comes
together,
that
means
we
have
more
capacity
than
we
need
and
we
need
to
start
downsizing,
which
also
means
we're,
probably
not
bringing
in
as
much
revenue.
Y
Thank
you
mike
for
that
very
thorough
presentation.
I
was
thinking
about
how
fortunate
we
are
that
we
went
100
electronic
on
our
permit
and
our
inspections
with
covid.
So
hopefully
that
is
helpful.
As
you
look
at
the
staffing,
the
other
one
is
that
we're
doing
cost
of
services
studies.
I
think
those
are
really
important
to
set
the
rates
to
market
and
then.
Y
Thirdly,
I
really
want
to
applaud
you
for
the
fact
that
the
pre-submittal
and
the
informational
sessions
are
fee
supported,
because
I
think
that
the
ability
for
anyone
coming
in
to
get
that
early
discussion
means
that,
hopefully,
there's
less
work
and
rework
for
both
the
developers
or
folks
trying
to
build
here
as
well
as
the
staff
having
to
do
rework
is
the
most
frustrating
part.
So
I
really
want
to
highlight
that
because
I
think
that's
an
important
thing
that
you
do.
Y
So
that,
as
we
see
that
we
are,
we
have
people
available
that
maybe
some
of
our
folks
could
be
available
to
some
other
cities,
especially
since
we've
gone
through
the
the
interactions
with
sound
transit
on
building
light
rail,
there's
many
other
cities
that
are
going
to
be
moving
into
that
place.
So
if
we
had
people
available
and
then
vice
versa,
that
for
those
communities,
maybe
where
they're
in
the
slump
due
to
covid
and
they
have
capacity,
they
don't
want
to
let
go
of
anyone.
T
T
A
couple
of
things
that
make
it
challenging
one
is
that
the
workload
or
the
development
activity
that's
happening
is
not
just
bellevue,
but
it's
happening
in
kirkland,
it's
happening
in
redmond,
etc.
So
we're
all
experiencing
the
same
kind
of
growth
pressures
or
needs.
At
the
same
time.
We
don't
see
it
drop
off
in
one
city
and
so
that
that's
one
challenge
also
have
labor
agreements
that
you
need
to
deal
with,
and
you
know
liability
issues,
cross
jurisdiction,
working
across
jurisdictionally
and
etcetera.
T
So
we've
we've
done
a
lot
of
experimenting
there
and
have
had
some
limited
success
over
the
years.
But
I
can
say
where
we've
had
great
success
and
I
think
it
is
a
a
benefit
in
a
resource
way
is
sharing
expertise
and
talent
across
jurisdictionally.
We
work
very
closely
with
our
mybuildingpermit.com
regional
partners
working
on
products
that
we
all
use
together.
So
it's
working
on
paperless
permitting
it's
working
on
our
our
mybuildingpermit.com
portal.
It's
creating
tip
sheets
for
inspections,
it's
creating
information
for
new
code
changes
and
technical
work.
T
Y
Okay,
well,
I
would
just
say,
keep
considering
this
as
a
concept,
because
I
would
say
perhaps
in
other
areas
we
might
not
have
started
out
with
mutual
aid
and
ila
because
of
some
challenges
and
we
were
able
to
work
through
them.
So
I
would
just
encourage
you
to
keep
doing
that.
A
Hey
councilmember
stokes:
are
you
raising
your
hand?
I
don't
see
your
hand.
I
just
see
your
shoulder
move.
So,
okay
go
ahead.
D
Yeah,
I
think
it's
a
very,
very
good
presentation
and
it's
really
great
to
see
the
news
and
the
one
chart
where
we're
going
way
up,
and
it's
just
amazing
in
this
this
time
period.
The
one
thing
I
wanted
to
comment
on
is
on
the
the
charts
about
the
regionally
competitive,
both
both
pieces.
D
One
of
the
things
that
I
think
is
this
is
a
small
part,
but
it
has
a
positive
effect
on
how
bellevue
is
being
able
to
go
through
this
pandemic
and
and
all
the
problems
with
this
recession
caused
by
covid,
while
our
neighboring
cities,
particularly
look
at
issaquah,
and
some
of
the
others
are
struggling
with
the
impact
of
growth
and
they're,
not
their
budgets
have
really
been
been
whacked.
D
Because
of
that-
and
you
look
at
this
and-
and
this
is
one
thing
it
adds
to
it-
you
know
that
it's
a
huge
difference
between
what
we're
charging
you
know
for
three
thousand
dollars
and
they're
charging
1700
and-
and
so
that's
that's
and
I
know
the
reasons
why
they
get
to
that
place.
But
I
do
think
it's
important
that
we're
having
reasonable
and
a
and
a
good
solid
cost
on
that,
and
it's
not
as
much
as
king,
county
or
seattle,
but
it's
something
I
think
that's
appropriate.
D
It
actually
helps
us
do
more
of
the
growth
paying
for
growth
that
people,
particularly
in
the
neighborhoods,
want
to
hear.
Obviously
it
doesn't
always
in
the
short
run,
but
when
you
don't
recover
funds
at
the
and
have
funding
at
the
beginning,
and
you
have
growth,
it's
very
difficult
because
all
things
you
have
to
do
and
then
your
budgets
really
get
in
trouble
when
you
have
a
recession.
D
So
I
commend
your
foresight
in
doing
this,
and
certainly
I
know
it's
and
I
think
our
you
know,
development
community
is
very
happy
with
the
way
we
process
things
the
way
we
do
things.
So
I
think
this
is
appropriate
and
I'm
glad
you're.
You
take
a
look
at
that
and
are
willing
to
raise
that
where,
where
necessary.
A
T
Well,
I
don't
know
that
I
have
enough
inside
knowledge
to
really
speak
to
that
again.
The
the
city
operates,
but
I
will
just
say
the
city
operates
like
we
do
the
issue
permits,
conduct
inspections
etc.
The
way
their
funding
structure
is
set
up.
What
I
know
about
it,
it
is
funded
through
the
general
fund,
so
their
fees
go
into
the
general
fund
and
we
operate
kind
of
like
a
business.
When
it
comes
to
bellevue
the
development
services
kind
of
line
of
business,
we
call
it.
T
We've
got
to
operate
within
bounds
of
the
revenues
that
we
are
generating
and
by
making
sure
we're
delivering
that
high
quality
of
service.
So
it's
that
balancing
act
that
we
do
so
the
cities
like
kirkland
issaquah
redmond
they
budget
differently
than
we
do
and
so
they're,
not
in
the
same
place
as
far
as
being
agile
or
quick
to
respond
to
those
fluctuations
like
we
are,
and
that
has
been
very
beneficial
over
the
years
and
the
council's
support
has
has
really
really
helped
make
that
happen.
T
So
those
are
sent
by
the
issaquah
school
board
and
the
renton
school
board
within
their
jurisdictions.
So
the
answer
to
your
question
is:
no:
we
don't
have
any
authority
there.
T
You're
getting
in
past,
where
I
can
respond
to
the
question
I
would
have
to
go,
we
probably
may-
or
we
would
probably
have
to
follow
up
on
that.
This
will
be
coming
back
to
you
later.
If
you
want
us
to
explore
that.
A
I'm
just
curious,
I
mean
I
think,
people
look
at
this
and
wonder
the
same
thing
that
I'm
wondering
it's
it's
just
quite
quite
you
know
quite
a
contrast
in
what
they're
charging
themselves
versus
what
they're
charging
a
neighboring
city.
So
I'm
just
trying
to
figure
it
out.
T
We
do
have
representative
on
the
call
of
duty
meeting
this
evening
from
renton
and
issaquah.
We
could
ask
them
to
speak
to
that
or
we
could
follow
up
later.
A
H
H
I
just
had
one
for
you
in
terms
of
of
outreach
and
have
you
already
talked
to
developers
about
the
proposed
increases
and
what
sort
of
feedback
you
may
or
may
have
not
gotten
the
the
you
know
the
the
increases
seem
reasonable
to
me,
but
I'm
not
paying
them.
So
I
would
like
to
get
your
perspective
on
that.
T
So
we
did
reach
out
to
the
master
builders,
inform
them
and
generally
push
out
to
our
contacts
in
the
bda
I'll,
have
to
confirm
whether
or
not
we've
received
any
response
back
and
ensure
that
they
got
the
information,
but
we'll
make
sure
that
everybody's
aware
that
these
fees
are
being
raised.
T
I
think
what
I
hear
mostly
is
the
that
the
fees
that
we
charge
are
as
long
as
they're
reasonable
increases
are
fine,
as
long
as
the
service
is
predictable
and
delivers
their
need,
because
that
value
is
is
where
their
head
is,
what
matters
the
most
to
them,
yeah,
making
sure
that
predictability
is
there
but
yeah.
Certainly
we
will
make
sure
I
will
make
sure
that
we
have
notified
the
appropriate
parties
out
there,
so
that
they're,
aware
of
this
thank.
A
Okay,
so
let's
go
ahead
and
do
a
motion
for
this
part
of
the
discussion
and
then
we
can
go
on
to
the
the
council.
Information
requests.
H
F
A
Any
opposed
okay,
great!
Thank
you.
So
now
I'm
going
to
open
this
up
to
a
broader
discussion
about
last
week's
presentation
on
the
budget
and
you
have
in
your
packet.
The
council
information
request
that
tony
provided
answers
to
most
of
the
questions
that
we
asked,
and
so
I'd
like
to
give
everybody
an
opportunity.
If
they
have
any
additional
questions,
you
don't
have
to
ask
questions.
I
just
want
to
give
you
the
chance
to
if
you
have
them
and
we'll
give
each
council
member
three
minutes
at
a
time
we
can
just
move
around.
A
So
if
you
want
to
raise
your
hand-
and
let
me
know
if
you
have
questions
or
comments
and
councilmember
stokes,
if
you
raise
your
hand,
raise
your
left
hand.
Okay,
all
right,
I'm
not
seeing
any!
So
that's
that's
great!
Okay!
Well,
we
have
regional
issues
in
our
packet.
I
hope
that
you
will
all
read
it.
It's
very
been
very
thoughtfully
written
by
by
joyce
nichols,
and
she
has
some
good
information
in
there
and
we
are
done
with
the
meeting
council
meeting
is
adjourned.
Thank
you.
So.
