A
A
C
A
Opposed
okay:
here
we
have
troops
673
with
us
tonight.
Can
you
wait
for
your
hands?
Oh
there.
You
are
welcome,
thank
you
for
being
here
tonight
and
then
councilmember
Robertson.
Her
daughter
was
in
the
state,
swim
Championship.
So
she
was
there
watching
and
you
wanted
to
report
in
on
the
results.
D
I
want
to
talk
about
Bellevue
and
and
the
east
side
and
how
many
great
athletes
we
have
here,
the
women's
or
girls
State,
swim,
swim
and
dive
championships
was
this.
Last
weekend
of
the
Bellevue
High,
the
four
Bellevue
High
Schools
competed
Newport
High
School
won
the
4A
Champs.
That's
my
daughter
was
on
the
winning
400
free
relay,
which
clinched
the
the
State
title.
It's
the
first
time
they've
won
since
she
was
a
freshman
she's,
a
senior
and
team
captain
this
year.
D
Super
excited
I
want
to
just
give
a
special
shout
out
to
those
athletes
of
the
21.
The
team
is
80
swimmers,
but
there's
21
swimmers
competed
at
State
and
of
the
21
swimmers
competing
at
State
about
18
of
them
were
down
with
a
very
hard
flu,
and
yet
they've
won
the
State
title
anyway.
It
was
very,
very
close,
just
edged
out
to
Houma
for
the
state
champs
also
Sammamish
High
School,
another
Bellevue
High
School
clinched,
the
State
title
in
2A
swimming
as
well,
which
was
very
exciting
and
Bellevue.
D
High
School
was
second
for
the
State
title
in
3A,
so
swimming
losing
to
Mercer
Island
for
the
3A
State
title.
So
Bellevue,
particularly,
but
also
the
east
side,
has
some
amazing
athletes
and
I
just
really
wanted
to
give
a
shout
out
to
them,
because
it's
it's
really
exciting
and
it
was
so
exciting
to
be
there.
Knowing
that
the
race
came,
that
it
came
down
to
that
400
free
relay
to
see
them
win,
Super
exciting,
so,
especially
since
they
were
all
so
sick,
Seattle
Times
wrote
about
wrote
about
it
as
well
for
Samantha.
F
A
So
I'm
gonna
just
discuss
public
comment
tonight
because
we
have
had
a
number
of
people
signed
up
for
public
comment
and
we
only
have
give
30
minutes
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting.
Now,
when
there's
more,
when
there's
a
lot
of
people,
I'm
authorized
to
give
preference
to
people
speaking
to
an
item
on
the
agenda
and
I'm
also
gonna,
we
do
have
the
ability
to
open
public
comment
up
again
at
toward
the
end
of
the
meeting.
A
So
after
we've
gone
through
the
agenda,
if
it's
there's
time
before
10
pm,
we
can
open
public
comment
up
again,
which
I'm
going
to
do
tonight,
because
we
have
more
than
10
people
signed
up
for
public
comment
and
we
are
going
to
prioritize
people
speaking
to
the
agenda
tonight
because
it's
an
important
budget
meeting.
So
when
we
get
to
public
comment,
we'll
have
the
clerk
take
over
with
that.
But
let's
go
ahead
and
ask
Charmaine
to
do
the
Roll
Call.
A
And
I'm
also
going
to
ask
you
know:
last
week
we
did
a
proclamation
on
Iran
and
and
we
didn't
get
a
chance
to
have
a
picture
with
all
of
you
so
tonight
after
we
take
pictures
for
the
two
proclamations,
we'll
do
a
third
picture
with
you
all
right.
So
let's
go
ahead
with
the
flag,
salute
council
member
Barksdale.
Could
you
lead
us?
Please.
A
D
D
So
it's
a
very
terrible
disease,
whereas
lung
cancer
is
the
leading
cause
of
cancer,
death
among
men
and
women
in
the
United
States,
and
whereas
ninety
percent
of
lung
cancer
deaths
in
the
U.S
are
due
to
smoking
and
secondhand
smoke
and
whereas
Washington
state
ranks
above
average
in
lung
cancer
survival
rates
when
compared
with
other
states
but
below
average,
in
the
percent
of
cases
that
receive
treatment
after
diagnosis,
whereas
according
to
the
American
Lung
Association,
more
than
half
of
people
with
lung
cancer
die
within
one
year
of
being
diagnosed,
as
the
majority
of
cases
are
diagnosed
in
later
stages.
D
Now,
therefore,
on
behalf
of
Lynn
Robinson,
mayor
of
the
city
of
Bellevue
Washington
and
on
behalf
of
its
city
council,
I
do
hereby
Proclaim
November
2022
as
lung
cancer
awareness
month
in
Bellevue
to
increase
awareness
of
the
severity
of
this
disease
and
emphasize
the
importance
of
screening
among
high-risk
individuals,
signed
Lynn
Robinson
mayor
of
Bellevue.
Thank.
J
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
mayor.
You
know
this
as
lays
on
to
the
Arts
commission
and
a
fan
of
the
honoree
tonight.
Honorees,
both
I'm,
very
pleased
to
read
this
wintergrass,
whereas
wintergrass
is
a
four-day
annual
music
festival
in
Bellevue,
featuring
Bluegrass
and
other
acoustic
musical
styles,
and
whereas
wintergrass
recently
won
the
Washington
festivals
and
events,
Association
Washington
State
event
of
the
year,
and
that's
that
includes
dozens
of
our
of
events
and
in
music
and
everything
across
the
whole
state.
J
It's
just
amazing,
whereas
winter
grass
is
a
collection
of
bellevue's
gold
to
welcome
the
world
through
a
a
different
perspectives
and
experiences,
providing
a
an
immersive
experience
into
a
music,
a
unique
music
Community
with
workshops,
classes,
performances,
dances
and
jam
sessions
and
whereas,
as
a
way
to
break
down
barriers
to
participation
in
arts
and
culture.
J
Non-Profits
local
governments
and
the
community.
Organizations
such
as
the
Washington
festivals
and
events
Association
play
a
vital
role
in
fostering
the
Region's
arts
and
culture
identity
and
directly
affecting
the
tourism,
Economic,
Development
and
potential
of
our
state
in
our
cities,
with
unique
festivals
and
events,
and
whereas
the
city
is
proud
to
encourage
and
support
the
Arts
as
a
vital
part
of
community
life.
J
And
we
are
fortunate
to
have
such
a
a
rich
cultural
event
in
Bellevue,
as
well
as
supportive
organizations
like
the
the
festival
coordinators,
to
help
promote
and
sustain
these
unique
events.
J
Now,
therefore,
I
on
behalf
of
Lynn
Robinson
and
on
behalf
of
the
city
of
Bellevue
city
council,
do
this
14th
day
of
November
in
the
year,
2022
hereby
command
winter
grass
for
providing
a
positive
cultural,
artistic
and
economic
benefit
to
the
city
of
Bellevue
and
our
region
by
sharing
the
beauty
and
intricacy
of
unique
musical
styles
and
the
importance
of
keeping
them
alive
and
well
sign.
Lynn
Robinson,
mayor
city
of
Bellevue.
K
Good
evening
Madam,
mayor
council,
my
name
is
Bruce
Skinner
I'm,
the
executive
director
of
the
Washington
festivals
and
events,
Association,
we're
Statewide,
obviously
from
hoopfest
in
Spokane
to
the
Mariners,
to
the
Seahawks,
to
the
Kraken,
to
Seafair,
to
Capitol
block
party
Etc
over
400
members
throughout
the
state.
In
this
year
we
selected
wintergrass
as
the
top
event
in
the
states.
Always
one
of
the
top
events.
K
Many
years
is
the
best
event,
but
they
really
went
above
and
beyond
this
year
because
it
was
in
February
and
when
many
events
were
canceling
due
to
the
pandemic
lingering
on
they
not
only
staged
the
event,
they
led.
The
rest
of
us
through
the
event
showed
us
how
you
can
do
an
event
safely
and
that's
why
they
were
selected
the
event
of
the
Year.
Thank
you,
terrific.
A
Okay,
let's
do
a
picture
thanks
for
doing
that,
okay
city
clerk,
do
we
have
anybody
signed
up
for
oral
communication?
Oh
first,
sorry:
first,
we
have
to
approve
the
agenda.
Is
there
a
motion
to
do
that.
A
G
As
the
mayor
indicated,
we
do
have
a
number
of
speakers
signed
up
this
evening.
We
have
approximately
20
folks
signed
up
for
oral
Communications
and
for
The
public's
information.
As
the
mayor
said,
Council
rules
indicate
that
oral
Communications
is
for
a
period
of
no
longer
than
30
minutes
and
preference
is
given
to
those
speakers
who
are
speaking
on
a
topic
on
tonight's
agenda.
As
the
mayor
stated
with
that,
I
will
call
our
first
three
speakers
who
have
a
PowerPoint
together
and
that
is
Jan
Keller,
cordelson
and
Paul
Bruno.
E
L
Should
I
start
okay,
yeah?
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
opportunity
to
speak.
My
name
is
Jennifer
Keller,
nickname,
Jan
and
I.
I
live
at
115
146th
Avenue
Southeast
in
Bellevue
I
work
with
local
youth
on
sustainability
through
Bellevue
youth
links,
climate
action
team
and
through
the
local
group,
called
sustainability
ambassadors.
Although
I
speak
as
an
individual
today,
I
start
from
the
young
people's
interests
and
concerns
and
help
them
build
up
their
understanding.
L
So
they
can
take
more
effective
action,
I'm
so
delighted
when
they
step
up,
organize
their
ideas
and
come
and
share
their
individual
Thoughts
with
you,
as
three
of
them
did
in
the
budget
hearing
last
week.
Next
slide,
please
I
want
to
Echo
the
concerns.
I've
heard
many
times
from
youth
about
how
important
climate
action
is.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
careful
attention
during
the
hearing
and
how
you
ask
staff
to
look
into
important
questions
for
environmental
stewardship
spending
like
the
balance
between
spending
to
decrease
Municipal
emissions
versus
Community
emissions.
L
How
federal
and
state
allocations
for
climate
action
can
work
with
our
city
spending
how
to
dig
into
the
wedge
analysis
and
identify
the
actions
that
will
make
the
most
difference?
These
are
good
questions
next
slide.
Please,
the
youth
who
I
work
with
understand
how
critical
it
is
to
cut
human
emissions
50
by
2030.
L
they've,
heard
the
warnings
from
the
United
Nations
panel
on
climate
change,
the
ipcc
that
missing
that
goal
would
mean
that
we
hit
a
Tipping
Point,
a
point
of
no
return
and
we
would
see
catastrophic
effects
in
their
lifetimes
and
far
beyond
next
slide.
Please
they've
already
seen
summertime
heat
and
drought
and
smoke
and
chaotic
weather
events
here
and
around
the
world.
L
They
know
that
it's
essential
that
we
take
effective
action
for
them
and
for
future
Generations,
Bellevue,
Youth
and
adults
alike,
are
counting
on
our
city
to
cut
emissions
50
by
2030,
as
pledged
by
the
city
council
in
2014
and
again
in
2019.
Next
slide,
please.
So
this
is
a
moment
of
great
concern.
2030
is
coming
up
all
too
soon
and
it
will
take
time
to
scale
up
a
number
of
our
actions
next
slide,
please.
But
this
is
also
a
moment
of
tremendous
opportunity
when
so
many
solutions
and
actions
are
becoming
clear
every
day.
L
This
is
a
moment
to
look
at
the
urgency
of
climate
action,
but
also
to
recognize
the
health
benefits
and
economic
benefits
of
making
our
Energy
Systems
much
cleaner
and
more
efficient.
We
need
to
seize
this
moment
for
so
many
reasons.
So
I
want
to
Echo
what
the
young
people
have
been
saying,
it's
time
to
really
step
up
and
drive
toward
our
20
30
commitment.
As
you
know,
the
city
isn't
on
track.
Yet
funding
for
much
Bolder
emissions
cutting
actions
is
needed
in
the
next
two
years.
L
People
for
climate
action
outlined
important
actions
in
the
handout
they
gave
you
in
the
November
7th
budget
hearing.
Please
fund
these
actions
for
the
sake
of
the
young
people
and
all
of
us
I
ask
that
you
see
this
moment
and
fully
fund
all
the
climate
actions.
We
need
to
hit
our
2030
goal.
Thank
you.
M
M
Tonight,
I'd
like
to
explain
why
that
is
urgent
next
slide,
please,
because
there
are
no
State
actions
addressing
energy
use
in
homes
and
commercial
buildings
under
20
000
square
feet.
Local
governments
must
focus
on
those
two
areas
in
the
building
sector.
Together
they
account
for
at
least
30
percent
of
bellevue's
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
M
Pardon
me
next
slide.
Please.
This
slide
shows
the
building
sector
recommendations
that
were
in
the
handout
we
gave
you
last
week
due
to
limited
time.
I'll
briefly,
focus
on
only
our
recommendations
for
existing
single-family
homes
highlighted
in
yellow
in
the
slide,
because
the
federal
Ira
incentives
will
be
available
next
year
for
homeowners.
We
need
a
program
to
inform
and
help
homeowners
navigate
those
and
other
incentives.
Most
people
are
not
aware
of
the
opportunities
cut
emissions
in
their
homes
and
save
electricity.
M
M
Can
cover
1
320
homes
per
year,
hopefully
that
would
cause
significant
improvements
in
9
000
homes
by
2030..
That's
about
half
of
the
homes
built
before
1986
when
the
energy
code
first
started
to
significantly
impact
Home
Building.
In
short,
it
will
take
three
full-time
staff
people
working
steady
to
promote
cutting
emissions
in
half
of
the
homes
that
need
fixing
by
2030..
This
is
just
a
partial
snapshot.
Remember
detached
single
family
homes
or
only
one
part
of
the
broader
building
sector
effort
that
PCA
recommends.
We
have
also
recommended
actions
in
the
transportation
sector.
N
N
At
last
week's
meeting
you
heard
people
for
climate
action.
Speakers
agree
with
City
staff
who
have
said
that
the
Bellevue
environmental
stewardship
program,
future
efforts
need
to
focus
on
both
the
building
and
transportation
sectors.
As
you
can
see
in
this
chart,
we
know
that's
where
86
percent
of
the
community-wide
emissions
are
next
slide.
N
Please
in
the
October
24th
staff
presentation
on
the
ESI
budget,
we
all
heard
that
the
first
draft
of
the
2324
budget
showed
the
city
spending
nearly
three
times
the
amount
on
City
internal
operations
improvements
rather
than
on
reductions
in
the
community
buildings
Transportation
sector
emissions.
Again,
that's
where
86
percent
of
the
emissions
are.
N
This
is
way
out
of
balance
and
doesn't
put
us
back
on
track
to
hit
the
2030
emissions
reduction.
Commitment
that
the
city
council
has
pledged.
You've
also
heard
youth
voices
Echo.
These
same
concerns
we've
even
heard
City
staff
say
that
the
2324
budget
draft
will
not
put
us
on
track
to
hit
the
2030
emissions
commitment
since
last
Monday,
hopefully,
you've
had
a
chance
to
study
pca's
proposed
6.6
million
biennium
budget
for
emissions,
cutting
actions
in
the
building
sector
plus
proposed
3.1
biennium,
a
million
biennium
budget
for
actions
that
would
cut
Transportation
sector
emissions.
N
The
budget
recommended
by
PCA
for
such
single-family
detached
home
programs
alone
is
over
three
million
dollars,
which
is
substantially
more
than
all
of
the
ESI
operating
budget
allocated
in
the
original
City's
budget
draft.
Furthermore,
PCA
recommends
still
more
funds
are
needed
for
other
building
sector
and
transportation
sector
emissions
cutting.
In
short,
the
original
budget
draft
falls
short
in
allocating
sufficient
funds
for
the
city
to
get
on
track
to
hit
the
2030
emissions
reduction
commitment
either.
The
city
must
transfer
funds
allocated
for
improving
its
own
government
operations
or
must
find
substantial
funds
elsewhere
in
the
budget.
G
O
O
And,
as
we
all
know
and
like
feelings,
our
own
ways.
Bellevue
is
facing
an
affordability
crisis
and
it
really
it
threatens
our
economic
and
racial
diversity
in
the
city.
And
we
see
too
many
families
that
are
faced
with
a
tough
decision
to
either.
You
know,
leave
the
city
to
in
search
of
more
affordable
housing
for
their
families
or
to
deal
with
the
burden
of
spending
too
much
money
on
housing
costs
that
really
create
a
situation
where
they're
less
able
to
respond
to
unexpected
Financial
emergencies,
such
as
a
health
emergency
or
lost
job
broken
down
vehicle.
O
Value
has
been
a
leader
throughout
the
region
in
many
areas
and
has
another
opportunity
to
lead
in
The,
Pursuit,
Of,
affordability
and
while
the
timing
of
implementation
is
critical,
there
are
tools
that
can
be
implemented
now.
That
will
have
a
high
degree
of
impact
for
affordability,
so
I
urge
you
to
adopt
mandatory
inclusionary
zoning
alongside
Broad
and
substantial
up
zones
and
Implement,
a
commercial
fee
and
Lube
program
to
fund
affordable
housing
in
buying
creating
increased
development
capacity
throughout
zones.
O
O
These
experiences
show
us
that
an
appropriated
appropriately
calibrated,
And
Timely
Miz
program
can
can
both
incentivize
housing
production
and
ensure
permanent
affordability
for
long
moderate
income
households.
So
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak
tonight
and
we
look
forward
to
partnering
with
you
in
the
future.
G
P
Excellent,
so
my
name
is
Cliff
cauthon
I
am
the
advocacy
and
policy
manager
for
Habitat
for
Humanity,
Seattle,
Seattle,
King,
Kia,
test
counties,
and
also
we
are
part
of
for
East
Side,
affordable
housing
Coalition.
P
You
heard
from
my
colleague
from
the
HTC
before
me
and
I
first
wanted
to
thank
you
for
giving
me
it's
time
to
speak
to
you
and
also
for
your
efforts
to
find
really
effective
policy
solutions
to
deal
with
this
crisis.
And
you
know
we
are
you
know
we
are
grateful
for
that
and
look
forward
to
partnering
with
you
further,
so
I'll
be
quick.
P
That
Bellevue
needs
as
many
affordable
housing
tools
as
it
can
muster,
and
it
really
faces
a
crisis
that
home
prices
and
rents
have
just
spiraled
out
of
control
to
the
point
where
so
many
people
who
live,
who
work
in
Bellevue
cannot
live
there.
One
of
my
part-time
child
is
actually
as
a
professor
at
Bellevue
College,
and
the
good
number
of
my
colleagues
live
outside
of
Bellevue,
including
in
South
King
County,
because
they
cannot
afford
to
live
there.
P
So
this
just
doesn't
just
reflect
bellevue's
desirability
as
a
city,
but
also
it
reflects
the
reality
of
Bellevue
as
a
job
center,
and
it
will
continue
to
grow
but
to
sustain
itself
effectively
and
equitably.
It
needs
to
build
more
affordable
homes.
P
So,
as
my
colleague
said
before,
I
would
like
to
encourage
you
and
that
there
will
be
a
number
of
other
folks
who
encourage
you
to
look
at
adopting
mandatory
inclusionary
zoning
alongside
substantial
up
zones
to
be
able
to
capture
the
value
of
those
zones
as
well
as
to
be
able
to
provide
the
scope
of
affordable
homes
and
that
will
be
needed
in
order
to
be
able
to
create
mixed
income
communities
that
can
facilitate
greater
social
Mobility,
as
well
as
to
provide
opportunities
for
people
who
work
in
Bellevue
and
who
live
in
Bellevue.
P
Now
to
continue
to
be
a
part
of
the
community
to
help
grow.
The
community
and
I
should
also
add
that
Bellevue
has
you
know
it
has
adopted.
Inclusionary
zoning
from
1991
to
96
and
in
the
past
It
produced
a
couple
hundred
affordable
homes
in
record
time
and
I
believe
if
the
city
of
Bellevue
were
to
adopt
mandatory
inclusionary
zoning
as
well
as
incentivizing
housing
production
and
using
substantial
up
zones
that
can
do
this
again
and
even
more
and
move
forward.
If
Equitable
and
sustainable
way.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
consideration.
Q
Thank
you
good
evening,
mayor
Robinson
council
members,
I'm
commenting
on
behalf
of
the
Bellevue
Downtown
Association
to
urge
the
city
to
adopt
a
CPA
that
sets
the
foundation
for
a
future
curb
management
plan.
By
end
of
year,
the
BDA
has
made
the
curb
management
plan.
It's
2022
Mobility
priority,
a
topic
that
our
transportation
committee
has
tracked
closely
over
the
course
of
eight
meetings
since
the
initiative
to
do
to
since
the
initiative
to
develop
the
plan
kicked
off
earlier
this
year.
Q
Our
work
has
revealed
the
complexity
of
curb
space
issues
and
that
for
a
management
plan
to
be
successful,
it
needs
to
account
for
all
of
the
uses
that
interact
with
the
curb
and
the
proposed
comp
plan.
Update,
creates
the
basis
for
a
future
curve
management
plan
to
account
for
all
of
the
uses.
That
Foundation
is
important
for
a
future
group
management
plan.
Q
The
proposed
CPA
aligns
with
the
bda's
2019
Grand
connection
pilot
activation
report
in
its
2021
Place,
making
Workshop
series
report,
which
both
recommend
permitting
process
updates
that
encourage
public
space
activation
and
a
Playbook
that
identifies
where
and
what
type
of
place
making
can
be
programmed
in
the
public.
Realm,
however,
the
language
use
of
consider
for
the
new
polit
for
the
policies
new
to
new
6
and
new
7
suggest
that
the
city
needs
to
conduct
further
analysis
to
inform
another
policy
update.
Q
We
encourage
the
city
to
use
language,
that's
more
supportive
of
the
policy's
intent
while
retaining
flexibility
for
further
evaluation
in
its
application.
We
suggest
replacing
consider
with
allow,
for
so
the
policies
create
the
basis
for
application
with
the
underlying
notion
that
there's
performance
criteria
and
oversight.
Additionally,
we
encourage
you
to
follow
up
with
City
staff
tonight
on
items
three
four
and
five
from
our
September
letter
to
the
Planning
Commission
regarding
the
proposed
CPA.
Q
Those
items
are
item,
three
clarify
whether
EV
stations
are
required
and
that's
for
element
tr139
item
four:
how
does
the
city
plan
to
manage
privately
owned,
curb
spaces
that
connect
to
publicly
owned
curb
spaces?
And
if
whether
or
not
a
comprehensive
plan
amendment
was
needed
for
that
and
item
five
addressed
the
immediate
issues
about
how
the
project
design
review
weighs
the
criteria
for
New
Uses
that
were
not
accounted
for
during
the
land
use
code
updates.
Lastly,
we
strongly
encourage
the
city
to
improve
the
public
information
about
the
cmp's
evolution
over
this
past
year.
Q
So
much
has
been
revealed.
Sharing
clear
information
will
be
vital
for
the
cmp's
progression,
because
stakeholders
who
engage
at
different
stages
of
the
process
don't
get
to
benefit
from
the
full
picture
which
may
embolden
well-meaning
community
members
to
obstruct
the
work.
By
commenting
on
misunderstandings
again,
we
encourage
you
to
advance
the
CPA
by
the
end
of
the
year,
so
we
can
keep
the
momentum
going
on
the
CMP.
The
BDA
remains
a
committed
partner
to
track
the
development
of
the
CMP
and
engage
when
appropriate.
G
R
I
want
to
put
a
little
face
on
to
something
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
giving
us
this
opportunity
to
come
before
you
I'm
the
pastor
of
Saint,
Peter's,
United,
Methodist,
Church
and
the
crossroads
area
and
we're
sitting
down
there
on
about
just
under
five
acres,
whether
we'd
like
to
partner
with
the
city,
because
I
know
you're
doing
some
densities
review
of
coding
to
do
some
affordable
housing,
which
I
was
just
listening
to,
and
so
what
we
would
like
to
do
is
I
think.
R
We've
looked
at
some
of
the
tentative
guidelines
you
all
have
established
or
you're
working
on
establishing
we
we
meet
most
of
them,
except
we
are
Zone,
I,
think
as
R5,
but
right
next
to
us
on
our
east
side
is
an
88
Building.
What
is
it?
88
units
18
building
88
units
was
R15,
and
so
that's
just
right
next
to
us,
but
we're
on
a
bus
route.
This
lovely
property
we'd
like
to
have
you
come
down
and
take
a
look
at
it.
R
R
G
T
T
It's
Curious,
that
Bellevue
is
proposing
to
go
forward
with
a
5.5
Million
Dollar
Plus
police
co-response
program
CCAP
after
a
three-month
pilot
with
a
lightweight
post
analysis,
yet
are
stating
that
a
behavioral
health
pilot
would
take
a
year
while
taking
time
with
a
careful
pilot
is
important.
The
reasons
for
the
difference
in
the
timeline
should
be
explained
to
us.
T
If
Bellevue
is
not
convinced
of
the
efficacy
of
a
community
responder
program,
I
would
suggest
that
they
hire
an
outside
expert
to
study.
How
many
calls
could
be
diverted
from
9-1-1.
In
addition,
the
information
given
to
council
about
Kirkland's
programs
is
wrong.
Currently,
during
the
first
phase
of
the
community,
responder
rollout
in
Kirkland
Police
arrived
to
9-1-1
calls
along
with
the
social
workers,
however,
and.
F
T
T
It
was
claimed
that
Kirkland
has
found
that
50
percent
of
community
members
prefer
speaking
to
a
police
officer
over
a
social
worker,
but
I've
learned
that
Kirkland's
First
Responders
have
never
collected
that
data
and
don't
even
ask
clients
that
question
it's.
Concerning
that.
This
false
and
misleading
statement
has
been
included
in
material
produced
by
the
city.
Many
communities
are
implementing
alternative
responses
to
a
variety
of
goal
types
police
respond
to
and
I
would
like
to
see.
T
Bellevue
consider
this
as
well,
so
our
excellent
Police
Department
is
able
to
respond
to
calls
that
are
more
appropriate
for
their
mission
and
their
training,
and
they
can
focus
on
the
work
that
so
many
of
us
want
like
prop
solving
property
crime.
Bellevue
should
use
this
opportunity
to
modernize
its
first
responder
services
and
join
other
cities
and
taking
a
Health
First
approach
to
help
people
in
crisis.
We
need
to
ensure
that
the
members
of
the
Bellevue
Community
receive
care
and
support
in
those
moments
when
they
need
it
most.
Thank
you.
F
My
wife
and
I
Randy
have
owned
the
building
on
Main
Street
for
about
21
years,
and
we
have
a
restaurant
520,
Bar
and
Grill
there,
probably
10
out
of
the
last
15
years,
I've
been
the
president
of
the
old
building,
Merchants
Association.
So
regarding
the
curb
issues
and
all
that
we're
all
in
favor
of
that
development
and
and
moving
that
way,
you
know
when
we
first
started
on
Old
Bellevue.
There
was
like
a
lot
of
women's
clothing
stores.
Now,
there's
like
24
restaurants.
F
For
years,
we
always
hear
about
parking
parking
parking,
but
you
walk
down
the
street.
All
the
restaurants
are
full
and
parking
is
really
not
a
problem.
It's
been
really
good,
I
think
throughout
some
of
the
programs
we've
done
with
all
the
buildings
there,
people
have
all
found
parking,
I
think
what
we
did
during
covid,
opening
up
the
streets
and
having
outdoor
dining
and
all
that
you
saw
how
many
people
loved
that
and
it
was
a
huge
success.
F
You
continue
that
for
three
years
and
it's
been
great
for
the
restaurants
and
people,
because
people
want
to
be
outside
and
that's
been
great.
We
have
another
restaurant
in
the
Lincoln
Square
where
the
summer
no
one
wants
to
be
there,
because
there's
no
outdoor
seating,
but
in
Old
Bellevue
it's
very
unique
that
way
and
having
enhancing
and
growing
the
outside
business.
It
would
be
wonderful
to
do
that.
F
There's
other
things
that
on
that
is
our
food
vendors,
U.S
foods
is
doing
a
program
that
might
be
interested
in
is
that
they
probably
do
about
half
the
restaurants
in
town
and
they
have
a
new
program
called
Pronto
they're
trying
to
get
away
from
having
the
big
trucks
come
down.
Main,
Street
and
Lincoln
Square,
sometimes
they're
like
back
those
back,
though
five
in
a
row,
but
the
concept's
more
like
Amazon,
where
we
can
now
get
six
deliveries
a
week,
and
so
they
deliver
these
little
Sprinter
vans.
F
So
now
they
can
get
in
and
out
they
can
park.
They
can
I
think
that's
a
new
trend
and
they're
doing
that,
and
it's
been
great
for
us,
because
we
don't
have
to
have
those
big
trucks
blocked
in
the
whole
street
in
in
that
we
could
also
maybe
do
something
or
think
about
between
seven
and
ten
o'clock
in
the
morning
is
open
up
the
curbs.
Let
these
little
Sprinter
bands
come
in.
F
F
Also
if
we
could
think
about
curb
sizes
having
some
sort
of
uber
stand.
Where
you
know
you
see
a
lot
of
people
go
into
the
old
building
that
way,
but
if
we
had
certain
designated
areas
where
now
you
could
get
picked
up
and
get
dropped
off,
that
would
really
be
great,
and
the
last
thing
there's
a
thing
called
wreath
where
blue
the
condos
next
door.
They
have
a
thing
called
brief,
which
is
an
app
now
that
you
can
find
parking.
I.
F
Think
there's
about
three
spots
in
building
that
have
it,
but
if
more
people
worked
in
that,
so
when
you
go
there,
there's
always
like
empty
parking
spots.
So
you
can
see
where
there's
right
next
door
to
restaurant
there's
25
spots,
people
can
go
there,
they
can
park,
they
know
it
and
then
all
of
a
sudden
they
want
to
stay
longer.
F
It'll
text,
you
back,
but
it's
something
that
if
every
building
up
a
no
Main
Street
had
that
you
could
see
that
there's
a
hundred
free
parking
spots
so
we're
working
on
those
kind
of
things,
we'd
love
to
do
anything
and
we're.
G
U
Thank
you
and
good
evening.
My
name
is
Steve
fantel
I
live
at
47,
22
130th,
Avenue,
Southeast
I've
been
a
long
time,
Bellevue
resident
and
I've
previously
volunteered
with
the
city
of
Bellevue
transportation
engineering
department,
assisting
in
the
areas
of
bicycle
safety,
infrastructure
and
vision;
zero,
as
well
as
volunteering
with
complete
streets,
Bellevue,
non-profit
advocacy
group,
although
I'm
no
longer
formally
serving
as
a
volunteer
with
the
city.
My
interests
remain
strong
and
I
continue
to
contribute
suggestions
for
improving
Traffic
Safety.
Tonight.
U
Firstly,
improvements
to
crosswalk
signal
design
number
one
have
the
advanced
walk
before
vehicle
traffic
gets
the
green
light,
which
has
been
implemented
in
select
areas
and
I'd
like
to
expand
that
practice.
Secondly,
Implement
all-way
walk
Cycles
with
no
red
turn
on
no
right
turn
on
red
in
selected
High
pedestrian
volume
intersections
such
as
along
Bellevue
way
downtown.
U
Thirdly,
have
implemented
automatic
walk
for
the
entire
Green
Cycle
without
the
need
for
using
push
button
actuators,
which
is
happening
in
many
cities
across
the
country
and
then,
lastly,
change
the
the
design
for
the
countdown
timers
for
the
entire
walk
cycle,
with
emphasis
being
put
on
the
white
walk
portion
rather
than
on
the
flashing
red,
don't
walk
portion.
This
can
help
to
eliminate
pedestrian
anxiety
and
improve
traffic
flow,
and
for
a
model
of
that,
you
can
look
at
Washington
DC.
U
Thirdly,
I'd
like
to
see
installation
and
use
of
safety
cameras
and
the
associated
technology
throughout
the
city
in
order
to
enforce
speed
limits,
24
7,
and
to
complement
the
limited
police
resources
that
are
available
for
speed
control
and
then,
lastly,
I'd
like
to
see
the
council
consider
ordinances
to
address
distracted
behaviors,
which
contribute
significantly
to
collisions
such
as
no
handhelds
cell
phones
being
used
by
bicyclists.
When
in
motion.
And
similarly
no
handheld
cell
phones
used
by
pedestrians,
went
in
a
crosswalk
Mr.
Q
G
A
Great,
how
many
more
people
do
we
have
signed
up
there.
G
A
10,
okay,
so
if
we
can
get
through
this
agenda
before
10
o'clock,
then
we'll
have
more
time
to
do
more
public
comment
at
that
time.
A
A
About
this
freedom
of
speech,
we
have
right,
speak
everybody.
Thank
you,
I'm,
going
to
ask
you
to
take
that
conversation
outside
the
chamber,
so
we
can
continue
with
the
meeting
and
we'll
have
the
that's
right
within
a
certain
time
frame.
Let's
see
so,
the
report
from
the
city
manager
is
in
the
packet
on
the
winter
weather,
preparedness
and
response
we're
on
to
consent
calendar.
Is
there
a
motion
to
approve.
A
Those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
opposed
okay,
so
we
have
three
study
session
items
tonight
and
one
first
one
we're
going
to
take
up
is
our
2023-24
operating
budget
and
the
23.29
capital
investment
program.
After
that
we're
going
to
bring
back
a
topic
we
did
not
get
to
last
week,
which
is
our
affordable
housing
tools,
update
and
then
we'll
go
to
the
Planning
Commission
recommendations
on
the
curb
management.
So,
let's
start
with
the
budget.
Mr
Miyake
council.
W
Members
this
evening,
staff
are
seeking
final
Direction
in
terms
of
any
amendments
to
the
preliminary
budget
in
preparation
for
a
budget
adoption
next
week,
which
is
on
the
21st
and
just
by
way
of
background
last
week,
Council
requested
additional
information
and
post
questions
to
staff
in
preparation
for
tonight's
meeting.
Responses
to
the
council's
information
requests
as
well
as
questions
were
provided
in
this
evening's
Council
packet
and
with
that
I'm
going
to
just
go
ahead
and
hand.
W
It
back
to
you
mayor
to
obtain
any
final
Direction
you'd
like
to
give
to
the
staff
for
next
week.
A
A
So
this
is
an
opportunity
for
Council
to
go
through
some
amendments
that
they
may
have
brought
forward.
A
We
we
provided
questions
to
staff
last
week
and
we
got
answers
and
those
are
all
in
the
packet
we
can
bring
those
up
if
you
are
interested
to
interested
in
doing
that,
but
I
think
we'll
really
focus
on
whether
or
not
we
have
an
amendment
to
what's
been
proposed
by
the
staff
for
our
budget.
So
the
first
topic
is
Arts
funding.
Is
there
anybody
with
an
amendment
on
Arts
funding,
okay,
Deputy,
Mayor
I
see
you.
B
Thank
you,
I'll
be
quick
because
I
know
there's
a
lot
on
the
agenda
tonight
and
I
probably
am
by
no
means
the
only
council
member
up
here
that
agreed
that
you
know
Arts
play
such
an
important
role
in
our
city
and
some
of
our
Arts
programs
and
wintergrass
in
particular,
took
a
little
bit
of
a
little
bit
of
a
a
haircut
during
this
budget
process.
B
But,
as
we've
all
heard
from
the
economic
development
team
multiple
times,
one
dollar
spend
for
the
Arts
comes
back
six
seven
fold
to
us
so
plus
the
Arts
is
a
real
core
value
and
something
that
residents
really
desire
and
appreciate
and
want
to
see
in
our
community.
So
and
for
such
you
know,
small
dollar
amount
in
a
2.3
billion
dollar
by
owner
budget
feels
like
the
right
things
to
to
do,
and
I
would
appreciate
my
colleague's
support
on
this.
Thank
you.
Any.
A
J
No
I
I
agree
on
this
I'm
glad
to
have
this
brought
forward.
I
do
think
it
I'm
glad
we
brought
this
out
where
we
can
discuss
it
more
and
there
are
a
lot
of
other
needs.
We
we
can
work
into
going
forward
with
this
I
think
we've
we've
kind
of
opened
our
eyes
in
a
different
way
and
I'm
very
pleased
with
this,
and
it's
a
good
step
and
we'll
move
forward.
So.
Y
Thank
you
I'd
like
to
support
this
amendment.
Some
of
us
I,
think,
council,
members,
I
and
I
went
to
and
also
stocks
a
event
planners
Gala
and
this
art
and
coaches,
not
just
a
coaching
by
itself,
but
naturally,
generally
a
lot
of
support
and
a
lot
of
opportunity
for
economic
development
and
also
for
Community
Building.
A
V
V
So
I
know
that
Vision
zero
is
something
we
are
committed
to
and
that
two
years
ago
we
moved
some
of
the
budget
so
that,
instead
of
waiting
until
2023,
we
got
started
in
the
first
two
years.
Every
year
we
have
a
vision,
zero
action
plan.
We
know
where
the
high
incident
areas
are
and
although
I'm
super
excited
about
or
be
safe,
and
hopefully
we
will
get
that
40
million
dollars.
A
You
did
you
have
okay,
any
other
comments
or
questions.
Okay,
I
know
that
we're
in
for
a
grant
in
DC
usdot,
and
hopefully
we
get
that
and
that
will
replenish
our
funding
to
do
even
more
than
we've
budgeted
to
do.
But
in
the
meantime,
and
in
case
we
don't
get
that
Grant.
I
think
this
is
a
great
idea,
so
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
any
any
opposed.
Okay,
just
I'm!
Sorry
I,
don't
see
council
member
Lee
anymore.
A
Y
About
it
all
right,
sorry,
I
support,
Vision,
zero,
absolutely
but
I
think
it's
got
a
lot
of
visibility.
I
believe
that
you
know
psrc
the
county,
many
cities
and
the
state.
We
are
all
paying
a
lot
of
attention
to
it,
and
so
I
heard
you
know
councilmember
mentioned.
We
need
to
provide
more
urgency
and
I.
Think
we
do
I,
don't
want
to
sort
of
look
at
it
lightly
and
I
think
it
depends
on
how
much
we're
committed
to
it.
The
only
cut
reservation.
Y
You
know
it
doesn't
mean
that
I
don't
support
it,
but
I
just
want
to
make
a
point.
We
have
so
many
competing
needs.
We
just
heard
environmental
stewardship.
You
know
they
would
like
to
have
more
money
and
I
I
just
feel
that
we
are
looking
at
a
very
good
Federal
grant.
Opportunity
and
I
am
confident,
we'll
we'll
get
something
so
I'm
I'm,
not
sure
whether
this
is
the
right
amount.
Whether
this
is
the
right
time
whether
we
should
and
I
believe
that
we
have
demonstrated
our
commitment
about
the
urgency
to
it.
Y
Y
A
I
Okay,
I
had
one
thing:
I
wanted
to
confirm.
If
that's
cool,
that's
not
a
motion.
Okay,
okay
I
just
wanted
to
confirm
the
staff
that
there's
funding
available
for
the
evaluation
in
the
budget
in
in
the
existing
budget
for
the
evaluation
of
call
data,
911,
call
data
and
so
forth
to
determine
what
percentage
of
calls
could
be
handled
by
Behavioral
Health.
Only
response.
X
I
X
Is
funding
in
the
budget
for
a
prospective
look
at
call
data
as
the
packet
keeps
going
back
in
time
is
cost
prohibitive
and
the
data
doesn't
always
exist
well,
so
it
would
be
a
forward.
Look
at
evaluation
of
call
data.
W
I
I
All
right
so
I
and
I've,
just
just
given
the
nature
of
a
prepared
some
remarks
here.
So
you
know
I've
heard
the
concerns
about
crime
coming
with
Transit,
but
still
haven't
seen
the
evidence
that
suggest
a
relationship
between
Transit
and
crime.
The
packet
mentioned
conversations
with
other
jurisdictions,
but
I
didn't
see
any
sort
of
detail
about
what
the
nature
of
those
conversations
were.
I
Excuse
me
and
I
haven't
seen
any
evidence
about
the
relationship
between
Transit
and
crime
for
our
existing
Transit
infrastructure,
so
parking
rides
and
so
forth,
and
even
if
there
were
data
around
the
relationship,
best
practices
published
by
the
international
City
management
association
and
the
Department
of
Justice
note
that
staff
and
police
Staffing
should
be
based
on
demand
or
workload
versus
population
density
and
instead
of
sorry,
should
not
be
based
on
population
density
and
crime
rates,
but
instead
on
workload,
as
the
2018
report
actually
did
base
it.
I
On
the
recommendation
on,
as
we
heard
during
the
public
hearing
and
through
emails,
we've
received
not
everyone
from
what
I
could
tell
especially
people
who
frequently
use
Transit
feel
comfortable
with
more
police
presence
at
Transit
stations.
So
I
feel
like
we
don't
have
enough
basis
to
allocate
the
1.5
million
per
year
for
a
police
Transit
unit
at
this
time.
So
I
think
we
should
revisit
this
budget
allocation
after
the
need
for
transportation
has
been
demonstrated
and
I
think
we
still
have
ample
time
before,
like
like
rail
opens.
V
Well,
I
guess:
I
I
would
like
to
hear
the
the
responses
to
the
questions
that
are
being
asked
by
councilmember
Barksdale,
a
better
understanding
of
in
the
current
budget.
When
is
the
money
being
allocated?
What
are
our
assumptions
about
when
the
light
rail
will
open
and
I
think
that,
when
we
spoke
about
this
last
week,
I
believe
it
was
last
week
there
was
discussion
about
the
fact
that
there
that
the
need
for
this
increase
is
a
much
broader
view
than
because
we
have
light
rail
coming.
V
X
X
I
will
start
and
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
budget
and
then
I'll
turn
your
other
questions
over
to
Chief
Shirley
and
the
team
at
the
table.
So
the
budget,
the
2020,
the
2324
budget,
assumes
a
1.5
million
dollar
set
aside
starting
in
2024,
so
that
is
when
it
starts
the
current
estimates
on
light
rail
opening
that
I
have
heard
is
mid.
2024,
though
I
don't
have
an
exact
date
and
I
am
not
an
expert
in
transit,
but
I
believe
that's.
The
current
timeline
that
we're
working
with
is
a
mid-2024
timeline.
X
Z
I'll
start
it
off
and
then
I'll
allow
Captain
Daryl
McKinney.
Z
Did
some
of
the
research
so
as
it
relates
to
the
transit
unit,
when
we
knew
that
East
link
was
coming
through
our
city
I
test?
Our
staff
were
beginning
to
do
some
Outreach
and
research
to
other
cities.
Z
So
we
were
in
contact
with
our
28
Benchmark
cities
of
those
that
had
Transit
units
and
learned
quite
a
bit
in
terms
of
the
increase
in
activity
that
comes
along
with
light
rail
in
a
particular
City,
whether
it's
on
the
platform
or
the
park
and
ride
at
no
time,
if
we
say
or
am
I
saying
just
because
Light
Rail
comes
to
your
city,
crime
is
going
to
go
through
the
root
I.
Z
Don't
think
anybody
can
say
that,
but
I
think
what
I
can
say
with
a
level
of
confidence
based
on
some
of
the
research
we
did
at
my
27
years
of
experience
in
law
enforcement
is
that
the
increase
in
population
certainly
will
add
to
the
cause
for
service
that
that
that
we
get
for
sure.
Z
We
also
had
many
discussions
with
Sound
Transit
as
well,
and
we
currently
operate
right
with
Sound
Transit
through
the
buses
and
service
calls
as
well,
but
also
in
the
conversations
with
Sound
Transit,
which
I
know
council,
member,
Barksdale
and
I
were
on
that
call
with
Sound
Transit.
They
spoke
to
their
limited
resources
in
terms
of
the
you
know
them
covering
1200
square
miles,
53
municipalities
on
the
Securities
they
have
Staffing
and
each
City
really
was
responsible
for
responding
to
any
activity
in
their
particular
City,
and
they
certainly
would
be
there
to
assist.
Z
So
that's
kind
of
a
baseline
I'm
going
to
hand
it
over
now
to
Captain
Daryl,
McKinney
and
assistant
chief
Andrew
Papa
chuck.
If
they
want
to
add
anything
else
to
that,
and
then
I'll
finish.
AA
Thanks
Chief
so
council's
pleasure
to
be
here.
I
I
was
the
one
who
was
tasked
with
doing
the
research,
which
is
the
reason
that
I'm
here
speaking
to
you-
and
you
know
when,
when
I
reached
out
to
all
these
agencies
and
spoke
to
especially
the
ones
locally
you
know,
I
reached
out
spoke
to.
Seattle
spoke
to
Tukwila
spoke
to
King
County
and
their
Sound
Transit
Division,
and
their
Metro
division,
which
are
two
separate
parts
of
King
County
Sheriff's
Office
and
the
message
was
consistent.
They
weren't
able
to
Tukwila
provided
some
data.
AA
The
other
agencies
were
not
able
to
provide
it
specifically
related
to
light
rail,
but
the
message
that
was
consistent
was
they
had
seen,
increases
in
their
crime
rates
or
in
the
amounts
of
crime
in
those
general
areas,
and
then
the
data
that
was
provided
specifically
by
Tukwila
showed
a
significant
increase
right
where
the
four
years
before
they
had
Light
Rail.
So
actually
let
me
back
up
a
little
bit.
They
have
the
International
Boulevard
station.
AA
AA
So,
like
I
said,
the
messaging
was
consistent
amongst
the
agencies
that
I
spoke
with
locally
and
in
the
research
that
I
did
and
the
information
that
Chief
Shirley
just
gave
from
Sound
Transit
was
consistent
with
everybody
that
I
spoke
to
with
King
County
that
they're
gonna
have
trouble
fulfilling
the
services
when
we
need
law
enforcement,
Services
related
to
light
rail.
AB
This
is
about
safety
for
all,
every
person
that
gets
on
the
train,
every
person
who
lives
near
the
train,
it's
about
creating
that
feeling
of
safety
for
everybody
who
touches
this
and
the
consistency
of
the
police
department
in
providing
that
level
of
safety
for
all
those
individuals.
This
is
about
looking
forward
of
where
we
want
to
be.
E
Z
C
Z
Out
and
obviously
Andrew
stated
it
right,
our
our
goal
is
to
be
prepared
up.
Front
number,
two
make
sure
we're
providing
that
safe
space
and
that
enjoyable
writing
experience
for
everyone
right
that
work
visit
this
city,
and
we
will
certainly
be
collaborating
doing
community
outreach
and
working
with
our
partners
to
to
make
sure
we
are
applying
the
best
practices
and
collecting
data
to
make
sure
we
have
we
adjust
as
we
move
forward,
but
we
I
firmly
believe
this
puts
us
in
the
best
position
to
be
prepared.
A
Okay,
it
can
can
I
come
back
to
you
or
okay,
let's,
let's
see
councilman
Deputy,
Mayor
you're
next
I
think
I've
got
you
on
the
list.
Oh.
B
B
Okay,
thank
you.
Sorry
well,
thank
you
mayor.
So,
first
and
foremost,
I
think
we
all
want
to
make
it
abundantly
clear
that
having
a
transa
police
unit
or
having
a
police
presence
is
in
no
way
any
kind
of
a
reflection
on
those
that
use
public
transportation.
That's
what
not!
This
is
what
this
is
about.
You
know
be
it
bus,
Light,
Rail
Subway.
We
want
everyone
to
feel
safe
and
thus
encourage
ridership
of
Light
Rail
in
and
out
of
Bellevue.
B
So
rather
you
know
to
me:
this
is
a
response
to
increased
activity
and
people
in
our
city,
especially
the
downtown
core.
With
that
increased
activity,
there's
always
a
possibility
of
a
criminal
security
event
taking
place
no
different
than
how
the
city
prepares
for
July
4th
event
or
Snowflake
Lane
or
any
other
event
in
the
city.
What
the
city
manager
has
really
brought
forward.
I
applaudem
Ford
is
really
just
a
common
sense,
prudent
approach
to
Public
Safety
that
further
ensures
that
we
are
prepared
for
this
commuter
growth
in
our
city.
B
So
every
survey
this
city
takes
Public
Safety
is
the
number
one
issue
that
residents
prioritize
and
we've
had
overwhelming
support
from
our
residents
in
this
23-24
budget,
and
especially
for
this
Transit
unit.
By
again,
residents
of
this
city
I
want
to
emphasize
residents.
You
know
this
budget
recommendations
based
on
exhaustive
Staffing
study
that
we
did
with
our
former
police
chief
mylette,
also
recommended
by
our
current
police
chief.
B
It's
another
opportunity
for
us
to
be
proactive
and
prepare
for
the
growth
and
all
the
changes
that
it
that
it
brings,
and
during
our
last
meeting
it
was
mentioned
that
there's
no
justification
or
data
to
support
this
Transit
Police
team.
But
in
my
mind,
that's
simply
not
true.
From
an
academic
perspective,
there's
been
studies,
one
by
morganisa
Department
of
Economics
at
Akron.
That
specifically
said
it
can
give
criminals
easier
access
to
potential
targets
and
decrease
the
probability
of
getting
caught
in
the
Journal
of
Economics.
B
Recently,
the
New
York
Times
published
a
piece
that
cities
want
to
return
to
a
pre-pandemic
life,
but
one
obstacle
remains
for
these
cities.
Transit
crime,
and
these
are
no
small
cities,
we're
talking
about
New
York,
City,
San,
Francisco,
Philadelphia,
Los,
Angeles
stories
of
violent
assaults,
mugging
stabbings
on
buses
Etc.
Now
every
city
is
different,
of
course,
however
specific
to
sound
transit
in
2019,
there
were
225
property
crime,
64
violent
crimes.
In
2020
there
were
218
property
crimes
and
58
violent
crimes.
B
In
2021
there
were
three
shootings
and
two
murders
at
the
Mount
Baker
station
and
lastly,
in
the
first
47
days
of
opening
up
the
Northgate
station
to
just
the
first
47
days,
and
this
is
Peter
rogoff
former
CEO
of
Sound
Transit
Who,
provided
these
numbers,
there
were
more
than
160
security
and
safety
calls.
That's
just
that
one
station,
the
other
stations
has
have
been
alluded
to
Tequila
International,
Boulevard,
federally
Transit,
Center,
Angle,
Lake,
Light,
Rail
station
they've,
all
been
hot
spots
for
security
and
safety
calls.
B
As
well
so
I
will
be
supporting
the
budget,
as
is
and
I,
encourage
my
my
colleagues
to
do
the
same.
It's
an
important
budget.
We
haven't
had
the
significant
of
a
police
increase
to
to
the
city
and
to
the
department
in
quite
some
time,
actually,
not
since
the
early
90s
and
Let's
ignore
these
calls
from
outside
special
interest
groups
that
are
not
residents
of
Bellevue,
because
residents
of
Bellevue
want
this
to
happen.
B
They
want
this
funding
because
they
want
a
safer
community,
and
you
know
these
the
comment
that
somehow
the
sheer
presence
of
a
police
officer
somehow
makes
our
community
less
safe.
Quite
frankly,
this
believed
I
think,
is
insulting
to
the
men
and
women
of
the
Bellevue
Police
Department
that
have
pledged
their
their
commitment
to
this
city,
and
you
know
it's
insulting
and
there's
just
no
place
for
it
in
in
Bellevue.
Thank
you
so
much.
Okay,.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
Stokes,.
F
J
I
guess
the
comments
have
been
made.
It's
been
an
interesting,
you
know,
review
and
separate
from
the
other
issues
we've
been
talking
about
and
I
I
took
the
bus
for
of
20
plus
years
over
there
and
it's
it's
a
over
the
years.
It's
really
changed
a
lot,
and
and
but
and
it
happens
when
people
come
into
Bellevue
all
the
time
when
we
were
before
the
pandemic.
J
We
had
more
people
coming
in
during
the
day
than
lived
here,
and
people
back
and
forth
and
I
can't
get
the
idea
that
people
who
take
the
light
rail
are
going
to
go
out
in
a
neighborhood
and
steal
something
and
then
take
it
back
on
the
light
rail
to
go
home.
J
So
there's
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
kind
of
inflation
of
the
concern,
but
the
reality
is
there
are
things
out
there
and
we're
in
a
different
time
period
in
a
sense
in
terms
of
people's
disconnect
and
and
the
trauma
of
all
going
on,
and
you
know
I
I'd
like
to
see
more
effective
work,
which
you
would
too
it's
because
of
resources
and
things
out
in
the
neighborhoods.
J
You
go
on
next
door
and
you'd
think
that
everybody,
every
other
person,
is
being
having
stuff
snatched
from
every
every
night
and
a
lot
happens
and
and
we're
not
keeping
up
with
that
and
it's
it's
a
concern.
I
will
vote
for
this.
I
think
that
the
issues
have
been
raised
are
good
to
look
at
I,
think
I've,
Gotten,
Good
responses
talking
to
both
the
fire
and
and
police
department
and
individuals.
J
It's
a
it's
a
complex
issue
and
I
think
the
other
fact
we
have
to
look
is
we're
talking
about
seven
officers
and
we're
not
talking
about
doing
something
we
work
on
it,
but
it'll
be
twenty
twenty
twenty
twenty
four
more
before
we
get
going
and
seven
officers
in
a
24-hour
day-
and
you
know
every
week-
is
not
a
lot
of
officers,
we're
not
just
flooding
the
the
light
rail
with
officers
and
you
you
read
some
of
the
people's
concerns
about
kind
of
freaking
out
about
Armageddon
in
in
light
rail
that
just
stirs
things
up,
I
think
what
we're
taking
the
the
concerns
that
councilmember
Mark
Silver
Ace
our
legitimate
concerns.
J
J
And
how
do
we
really
present
this
in
a
way
that
is
respectful
and
not
just
thinking
that
if
we
go
in
like
you
know
something
on
gangbusters
we're
going
to
make
a
change,
it's
got
to
be
smart,
it's
got
to
be
very
professional
and
I
believe
it
will
be
and
we're
we
have
time
to
work
on
it
and
make
sure
it
really
works
and
I
think
we
can
all
work
together.
J
So
I'm,
it's
a
it's
a
good
issue,
I
mean
and
a
heart
issue,
but
I
think
we're
going
in
the
right
direction
and
what
we're
what
what
the
council
and
not
just
the
people
who
live
here,
but
this
city
wouldn't
work
if
we
didn't
have
people
coming
from
other
places
here,
so
it's
all
of
us
in
the
community
have
to
work
together
and
I.
Think
that's
what
we're
trying
to
do
and
raising
these
issues
and
talking
about
them
without
denigrating.
J
The
people
who
raise
them
on
both
sides
is
is
not
is
a
good
thing
to
do
and
not
are
not
a
good
thing
to
do
to
denigrating,
but
to
a
kid
clashing,
so
I'm
I'm
ready
to
go
I.
Think
it's
been
we're
we're
going
to
get
down
to
the
line
in
two
years,
three
years
from
now,
I
think
we'll
be
looking
at
it
a
little
differently,
but
I
think
we're
going
to
be
successful.
So
this
is
what.
A
I'm
counting
on
thank
you,
council,
member
Stokes,
councilmember
Robertson.
Thank.
D
You
so
I
oppose
the
motion.
The
mid
by
budget
process
is
really
a
time
to
make
Corrections
take
to
account
Grant
funds.
We
got
fixed
numbers
as
they
come
in.
It's
not
a
time
to
start
new
initiatives,
and
by
delaying
this
it
would
be
doing
exactly
that
number
one,
but
number
two.
We
would
lose
the
ramp
up
time
that
we
will
have
in
2023
to
figure
out
how
these,
how
this
unit
will
be
used
most
effectively
and
that
ramp
up
time
is
really
important
because
number
one
we
need
more
law
enforcement
officers.
D
We
have
not
kept
up
as
our
population
has
grown
and
we're
also
down.
We
have
several
openings,
so
we
need
to
hire
up
those
folks.
We
need
to
hire
up
the
new
positions
over
time
and
get
going
to
me.
This
is
it's
not
about
worrying
about
certain
people
coming
into
the
city
on
light
rail
or
whatever
it's
about
activity
areas
when
downtown
got
really
active.
D
This
Council,
in
conjunction
with
our
police,
created
a
bike
Patrol
to
provide
special
emphasis
because
or
for
people
to
be
nimble
for
people
to
know
the
folks
who
are
in
the
downtown
and
the
and
the
people
that
live
and
work
and
own
businesses
there.
That
was
something
to
do
to
make
that
area
that
is
very
active,
safer.
D
D
I
also
found
it
really
interesting
that
the
vast
majority
of
the
people
who
were
commenting
or
testifying
against
the
transit
Patrol
tended
to
be
youngish
men,
and
for
me,
this,
the
the
perception
of
safety
in
public
spaces
is
very
different
between
men
and
women.
So,
as
a
woman
writing
Transit
late
at
night
alone,
my
perception
of
safety
is
probably
very
different
than
a
20
or
30
year
old
man.
D
D
We
need
people
to
ride
Transit
because
we
don't
have
enough
Road
capacity
once
all
the
buildings
that
are
under
construction
are
full,
so
making
sure
that
they're
safe
is
very
important
to
me
and
as
a
council
member
I
I
find
safety
to
be
safety
and
quality
of
life
are
my
number
one
job
to
look
out
for
the
city,
the
seven
law
enforcement
officers
that
will
staff
this
unit
are
just
part
of
the
holistic.
Look
at
Staffing
of
the
21
positions.
19
commissioned
and
keeping
all
of
those
positions
in
the
budget
is
critical
to
doing
that.
D
A
You
thank
you.
Councilmember
Stokes,.
A
Okay,
so
I'm
going
to
speak
and
then
I'll
call
on
council
member
Lee
I
just
want
to
thank
councilmember
Barksdale
for
bringing
this
forward,
because
I
really
appreciate
the
intent
here
and
I,
it's
so
important
that
we
have
Equity
of
safety
for
everybody
in
our
city,
whether
they
live
here
or
they're,
visiting
here
they're
working
here
and
I
I
when
I
look
at
the
Sound
Transit
response
times,
I
think
they're,
13,
minutes
and
hours
are
three
minutes.
I
mean
I,
really
appreciate,
councilmember
Robertson's
comments.
That
speaks
to
me.
A
If
something's
going
on
where
people
are
at
risk,
the
sooner
we
can
get
somebody
out
there
to
protect
them
the
better.
Having
said
that,
I
would
really
like
to
know
that
in
everything
we
do,
but
in
this
included
that
we're
going
to
be
working
with
our
be
Dan
group
and
our
three
C's
group
to
make
sure
that
this
services
that
we
provide
are
something
that
everybody
is
comfortable
with
and
and
that
everybody
feels
like
they're
getting
Equitable
Public
Safety
and
that
they're
treated
with
respect
and
and
it's
it's
across
the
board.
A
So
is
that
part
of
the
training
process.
AB
A
program
like
this
doesn't
come
on
board
without
that
engagement
process
that
we
do
and
that's
that's
part
of
that
process.
We
would
expand
it
beyond
that
as
well
to
our
advisory
councils
and
make
sure
that
there
is
that
input
before
we
deploy
a
unit
like
this
into
the
street
Chief.
Do
you
have
more
to
add
on
that.
Z
Yes
and
no
I
I
appreciate
what
the
mayor
said
and
I
can
assure
you.
Z
You
know,
as
you're
achieved,
we
take
the
concerns
of
our
community
seriously
in
terms
of
of
making
sure
people
are
treated
fairly
and
not
targeted
or
profiled.
That's
near
and
dear
to
my
heart
and
I
can
tell
you
the
men
and
women
of
the
Bellevue
police
department.
They
clearly
understand
that
too
and
they're
working
hard
every
day
to
provide
good
service
to
people,
but
we
will
be
open
and
listening
and
collaborating
with
some
of
the
groups,
you
name
and
others
to
make
sure
we're
doing
it.
A
Thank
you,
okay,
so
let
me
go
to
council
member
Lee.
Y
Yes,
I
cannot
support
council
member
box
to
some
Amman
I
appreciate
his
thinking,
his
thoughtfulness
that
he
doesn't
want
to
make
people
feel
that
they
are
not
welcome
and
they
oppose
a
danger
without
the
proof
of
such
and
so
I
think.
That's
a
very,
very
considerate.
However.
I
believe
that
you
know
when
security,
it's
a
goes
both
ways,
security
and
safety
in
mind.
Y
You
know
when
we
have
the
people
like
councilman
Robertson
mentioned
when
they
see
a
influx,
because
there's
going
to
be
more
people
coming,
there's
going
to
be
different
people
that
will
be
coming
here
and
there'll
be
different
interactions
between
different
people
and
I
believe
that
one
of
the
important
part
of
Public
Safety
is
in
prevention,
and
when
you
have
opportunity
of
you
know
poor
in
re
interaction,
that
is,
it
will
create
with
me
escalate
into
something
even
worse
into
real.
Y
Y
You
know
when
you
increase
population,
we
have
different
population
coming
or
going
out
whatever
it
becomes
a
collection
place
and
there
will
be
a
different
interactions
and,
as
we
have
seen
also
if
you
read
and
follow
the
statistics
about
what's
happening
in
the
on
buses
on
transits,
there's
more
and
more
situations
where
Citrus
and
safe
situation
or
make
people
discomfortable,
uncomfortable
and
then
bad
interaction
take
place
and
I
think
that's
increasing
the
drivers
don't
feel
safe
people
sit
on
the
buses,
don't
feel
safe,
whether
it
actually
is
going
to
be
unsafe
or
not.
Y
Y
You
know,
security
Personnel
is
important
because
they
are
there
to
assure
they
give
people
the
sense
of
safety
and
Order
and
lawfulness
I.
Think
that's
all
very
important,
so
I
believe
that,
because
of
those
reasons
and
fight.
Furthermore,
if
we
find
that
we
have
to
the
situation,
do
get
escalated
into
worse
situation.
We
need
to
have
people
that
are
ready
to
do
it
and
it
does
take
time
to
ramp
up
to
have
police
officers
train
in
place.
Y
We
don't
want
to
put
a
bunch
of
officers
in
there
who
may
not
be
able
to
handle
the
situation
or,
if
we're
not
prepared,
and
then
the
situation
can
escalate
and
that's
not
what
we
want
to
do
so.
This
is
my
perception
and
my
feeling
about
this
and
I
support
other
things
that
the
deputy
May
has
said-
and
it
is
very
well
said,
very
well
made.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
everybody
understand
respect
I,
do
including
myself
and
I've
left
him
now.
Y
Many
years
and
I
represent
a
immigrant
Community
when
we
feel
police
officers
in
some
part
of
the
world,
it's
a
it's
a
it's
a
unwelcome,
they
are,
they
are
in
a
threatening,
but
in
Bellevue
we
are
not
a
police
department
of
friends.
They
provide
a
sense
of
security,
a
peacefulness
to
their
mind,
so
I
think
think.
That's
a
good
thing.
Thank.
Y
V
Thank
you,
I
appreciate.
Hearing
from
my
colleagues,
you
know
the
the
safety
for
all
is
is
absolutely
important
and
I
can't
speak
for
the
other
council
members,
but
I
am
a
regular
bus
rider.
In
fact,
last
Wednesday
I
was
on
four
different
between
light
rail
and
Transit
between
here
Seattle
and
the
airport,
and
so
I
absolutely
appreciate
the
need
for
safety
for
everyone
and
answering
the
questions.
So
we
can
get
a
better
context.
V
I
want
to
make
sure
that
I
am
clearly
able
to
articulate
what
I
thought
I
heard,
which
is
that
at
the
end
of
the
day,
one
of
the
Genesis
for
this
increase
is
the
increase
in
population
of
folks
coming
into
our
city
and
that
we
are
going
to
be
as
we
take
the
next
year
to
ramp
up
before
we
start
bringing
in
hiring
doing
more
community
outreach.
I
thought
I
heard
that
and
I
would
say.
My
hope
is
that
that
would
include
the
advisory
committees
from
the
police
department.
Z
Yes,
members
on
it,
you're
you're
correct
on
all
of
the
the
points
you
just
made
in
terms
of
your
understanding
of
the
transit
unit.
You
are
absolutely
correct.
V
Okay
and
and
then
I
guess
my
last
question,
because
I
know
that
one
of
the
other
items
on
our
our
budget
is
also
the
CCAP
program.
But
then,
if
there
is
a
call
or
a
need
to
go
to
a
light
rail
station,
if
it's
more
appropriate
for
it
to
be
more
of
the
ccat
team
instead
that
that
would
be
what
we
deployed
so
we're
actually
leveraging
the
services
or
the
the
right
Swiss
army
knife
tool
within
the
toolbox.
Is
that.
Z
Yes,
yes,
ma'am.
Absolutely,
we
obviously
want
to
deploy
the
most
appropriate
resource
for
the
situation,
so
our
officers
are
police
officers
for
the
entire
city,
whether
they're
transient,
whether
they're
seek
at
downtown
unit.
We
try
to
make
sure
we
deploy
the
proper.
A
Resources
to
fit
the
need
absolutely
I'm,
also
going
to
let
our
city
manager
weigh
in
on
this
a
little
bit,
because
it's
not
okay,
I'll
say
what
you
guys
want
you
to
say:
we're
not
defining
the
program
right
now.
I
know
that
you're
putting
out
values
in
there,
which
is
important,
but
we'll
have
lots
of
time
to
weigh
in
on
it
as
well,
because
it's
going
to
go
through
a
whole
process
of
development.
This
is
just
allocating
the
funding
toward
the
development
of
it.
V
I
Right,
thank
you
mayor
I'll,
just
say
thanks
for
the
discussion
and
also
for
the
responses.
I
think
it's
important
what's
been
mentioned
in
terms
of
you
know,
ensuring
the
Outreach
and
and
the
safety
for
everybody
and
really
taking
an
equity
lens
to
it.
I
I'll
just
say:
I'll
I'll
get
a
stick
of
emotion,
but
I'm
glad
to
hear
the
the
way
forward
is
an
equitable
one.
The
reason
I'm
going
to
stick
with
my
motion
is
because
you
know
I
I
want
us.
I
really
think
it's
important
to
make
sure
that
we're
following
the
best
practices
when
we're
coming
up
with
Staffing
numbers
and
so
I
do
want
to
encourage
us
to
to
continue
to
use
those
they
were
used
in
the
2018
study.
The
2018
study
did
touch
on
light
rail.
I
It
just
said
get
ahead
of
it,
so
I
get
where
that
language
is
coming
from,
but
it
did
not
speak
to
specific
workload
as
it
relates
to
anticipated
workload
or
what
have
you
based
on
those
so
just
wanted
to
put
that
out
there.
Thank
you
and.
A
That's
okay,
so
the
motion
that's
been
seconded
is
to
delay
funding
for
the
Transit
Police,
the
1.5
million
dollars.
So
all
those
in
favor
say
aye.
C
A
Any
opposed,
say,
nay,
nay,
okay,
so
I
believe
that
does
not
pass
six
to
one
to
six
or,
however
yeah
okay,
so
we're
still
on
public
safety,
and
you
said
you
had
two
amendments.
Yes,
so
what's
your
second
one.
A
And
we
have
a
quorum,
so
we're
gonna
get
started
and
if
the
person
making
the
amendment's
not
here,
we're
just
gonna
move
on-
oh
hello,
okay,
so
I
think,
council,
member
we're
still
on
public
safety
and
I.
Think
council,
member
Barksdale
has
a
second
amendment.
I
All
right,
thank
you,
mayor
all
right,
so
I
move
I
move
that
we
allocate
1.4
million
dollars
to
Pilot
the
community
responder
approach,
where
a
pair
of
behavioral
health
professionals
respond
to
community
members
experiencing
a
Behavioral
Health
crisis
when
it's
the
most
appropriate
response.
I
All
right,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Okay,
so
again,
remarks
the
best
that
we
can
offer
our
community
members
experiencing
a
Behavioral
Health
crisis
is
a
robust
set
of
crisis
response,
Alternatives
that
fits
their
range
of
needs,
even
though
the
ccat
report
noted
that
some
people
prefer
to
work
with
a
law
enforcement
officer.
The
reality
is
that
not
everyone
in
a
Behavioral
Health
crisis
needs
or
feels
comfortable
having
law
enforcement
present.
Also,
we
have
to
be
careful
about
conclusions.
I
Community
respondent
programs
are
a
growing
priority
across
the
country,
as
indicated
by
the
emails
we've
received
from
people
actually
doing.
This
work,
the
growing
emphasis,
including
in
this
region,
in
this
region,
between
cities,
who
are
part
of
the
regional
crisis
response,
so
there's
growing
emphasis,
even
in
this
region,
who
are
part
of
the
racer,
formerly
radar
program
and
they're,
currently
forming
an
Ila
that
would
allow
for
a
community
responder
approach
as
part
of
their
crisis
response
options.
I
I
hope
that
we
will
one
day
join
other
cities
in
the
racer
program,
but
piloting
a
community
responder
program
in
the
interim
will
help
us
understand
the
value
of
a
community
responder
approach
for
our
community
going
into
that
partnership,
and
just
just
want
to
make
one
note
when
I
mentioned
that
not
everyone
feels
comfortable
with
law
enforcement
president,
that's
not
specific
to
our
Police
Department.
That's
just
speaking,
based
on
lived
experience
that
some
people
just
don't
feel
comfortable
with
law
enforcement
present.
A
Okay,
thank
you
and
we
had
a
second
and
so
we're
up
for
comment
or
questions.
A
May
I
make
I'll
I'll
start
I'll,
make
a
question
a
comment:
I
appreciate
what
you're
doing
what
you're
requesting
here
and
your
sensitivity
to
people
who
are
not
comfortable
with
a
police
response
when
they're
in
a
time
of
crisis.
I
will
tell
you
as
a
person,
who's
done
home
care
for
35
years.
A
A
Had
my
partner,
his
car,
shot
at
during
a
home
visit
by
people
who
were
in
the
area,
and
it's
it's
just-
you
really
I
feel
that
I
was
always
at
risk
going
in
there
and
particularly
in
a
crisis
situation.
It
may
not
be
always
be
the
person
in
crisis.
It
may
be
somebody
else
in
the
house
or
somebody
in
the
area.
You
don't
know
could
be
their
friend,
you
don't
know.
A
What's
going
on
and
I
I
do
not
feel
comfortable
sending
people
without
training
on
how
to
deal
with
that
situation
like
that
out
alone,
I've
also
talked
to
our
crisis
teams
and
they
feel
more
comfortable.
They've
told
me
and
I'd
like
somebody
to
speak
to
their
comfort
level
of
if
they
were
to
go
on
their
own,
but
I
I
personally
I
think
it's
really
important
to
be
in
separate
cars
to
be
in
an
unmarked
car
and
to
not
be
in
uniform
the
police
officer,
because
I
think
those
things
can
be
triggering.
A
You
can
have
the
same
protected
response
without
those
police,
car
and
a
police
uniform,
but
so
I
guess
I
have
two
questions.
A
One
I
would
like
our
crisis
team
to
speak
to
their
experience
and
what
they
would
recommend
in
terms
of
going
with
a
behavioral
response,
only
method
and
also
and
I
know
it's
a
pilot
but
I
I,
don't
I'm,
not
sure
I'm,
even
comfortable
with
a
pilot
I
think
we
I'd
rather
have
them
assess
the
program
as
they
go
forward,
but
can
I
have
somebody
from
the
crisis
team
respond
to
you
know
what
they
would
recommend
for
their
own
situation
and
then
also
I
forgot.
My
other
question.
Well,
we'll
start
with
that.
A
AC
That
actually
would
help
communicate.
There's
there's
a
lot
of
nuances,
to
response
and
to
crisis
response
and
to
emergency
response
to
9-1-1,
and
it's
hard
to
encapsulate
that
into
just
one
call
type
and
I
think
that's
my
biggest
concern
is
that
9-1-1
is
receives
a
vast
and
varied
and
unpredictable
amount
of
calls
and
types
of
calls
you'd
be
surprised
that
people
call
9-1-1
for,
and
it's
often
not
with
the
original.
AC
So
what
I
wrote
today
was
that
I
hold
this
conviction
that
we
that
social
workers
shouldn't
go
alone
on
calls
because
having
mhps
respond
without
police
officers,
one
eliminates
immediate
access
to
tools
and
permissions
that
only
police
officers
can
provide
and
in
doing
so
risks
achieving
the
best
outcome
for
the
person
in
crisis.
AC
AC
My
job
would
look
a
lot
different
in
a
different
state.
My
job
would
look
a
lot
different
in
a
different
County.
AC
The
rules
that
I
am
Bound
by
within
my
job
within
the
city
does
not
allow
for
me
to
intervene
with
someone
who
is
suicidal
if
they're
going
to
kill
themselves
in
front
of
me
or
harm
themselves
in
front
of
me.
So
you
can
call
9-1-1
and
you
can
have
a
social
worker
show
up
and
I
absolutely
think
that
we
need
to
be
a
part
of
that
call
response,
because
we
offer
something
different,
but
the
beauty
I
think
of
what
happens
when
we
have
fire
police
and
mhps
involved.
AC
AC
But
like
where
someone
has
lunged
for
a
knife
in
front
of
me
and
I
cannot
stop
them,
but
the
police
officer
can
who
think
flaves
they're
already
on
scene-
and
you
know
I
know
that's
one
story,
but
I
have
Lots
I
looked
today
and
you
know
what
I've
worked
200
shifts
this
year.
So
that's
a
lot
of
people
we're
interacting
with,
and
so
my
opinions
come
from
that
and
not
from
not
from
just
one
personal
experience.
I
also
I'm
a
person
of
color.
AC
My
father
was
not
born
here,
I'm,
also,
a
parent
of
teenagers
with
complex
needs,
and
so
that
informs
my
considerations
of
what
is
best
and
I
think
it's
best
practice
that
we
include
social
workers
I'll
be
quick!
Sorry,
my
second
one
is
that
I
hold
this
conviction
that
MHP
shouldn't
go
alone
because
I
believe
it
threatens
the
physical
safety
of
the
person
in
crisis
as
well
as
bystanders
like
you
were
mentioning
I.
AC
Think
I've
been
on
numerous
calls
where
we
show
up
and
the
person
in
crisis,
because
we're
talking
about
mental
emotional
there's
a
wide
spectrum,
it
could
be
someone
having
a
panic
attack
or
it
could
be
someone
having
a
manic
episode
or
someone
having
a
manic
episode
based
off
of
substances,
which
is
a
I
mean
psychotic
episode
based
off
substances
which
is
a
whole
different
ballgame,
and
so
we've
had
instances
where
this
person
triggers
their
neighbors,
who
are
just
fed
up.
AC
Rightfully
so,
with
what
they're
experiencing
and
I've
been
in
a
situation
where
that
neighbor
then
tried
to
attack
my
client,
while
I
was
trying
to
work
with
them
and
de-escalate
them
and
get
them
to
safety
and
without
a
police
officer
there
who
also
got
attacked
by
this
person
and
the
person
did
not.
We
had
to
call
for
backup,
but
there's
situations
like
that
that
occur
as
well,
where
it's
just
not
safe
for
anybody
or
if
that
person
you
know,
starts
running
in
the
middle
of
the
road
happens.
All
the
time.
AC
I
can't
detain
that
person
same
with
suicidality
in
the
state
of
Washington
we're
Bound
by
laws
where,
in
order
to
get
someone
the
mental
health
assistance
that
they
need,
they
can't
access
that
without
a
police
officer.
If
they
cannot
make
that
decision
for
themselves-
and
there
are
times
where
people
cannot
make
that
decision
for
themselves,
whether
it's
because
they
are
actively
suicidal
or
they're,
having
some
sort
of
mental
health
episode,
and
so
for
that
reason,
like,
unfortunately,
in
the
state
of
Washington,
we
need
officers.
AC
I
cannot
take
someone
to
the
hospital
to
get
that
I
can
help.
The
beauty
of
that
partnership
is
that
we
help
convince
them.
So
it's
a
less
traumatic
experience
and
unless
you
know
maybe
it's
a
pleasant
experience
even
but
I
see
that
as
our
role
in
that
moment
and
the
last
one
that
I
noted
is
that
it
does
jeopardize
the
physical
safety
of
the
mental
health.
AC
Professional
I
would
like
to
say
that,
like
my
disagreement
with
this
proposed
model
is
not
predominantly
rooted
in
fear
of
personal
safety,
but
it
is
I
think
wisdom
that
there
are
things
that
we
just
don't
know,
and
we
are,
you
know,
we're
relying
on
community
members
who
are
witnessing
a
crisis
or
relying
on
the
person
themselves,
who's
experiencing
the
crisis,
to
communicate
to
the
dispatcher
effectively
and
adequately
information
about.
What's
going
on
and.
AC
What
we
know
is
that
when
people
are
in
height
in
an
escalated
state,
that
might
not
always
be
possible,
we're
asking
them
to
do
that
without
bias.
We're
asking
them
to
do
that
with
a
clinical
assessment
and
I.
Just
don't
believe
we
can
ask
the
community
to
do
that.
For
us,
it's
not
fair
to
them.
It's
not
fair
to
the
person
in
crisis.
It's
not
fair
to
the
person
witnessing
the
crisis
to
be
the
ones
who
kind
of
decide
what
what
that
looks
like.
AC
So,
for
those
reasons
and
lots
of
others
that
I
could
talk
about
this
for
a
while
I.
Just
do
not
think
it
is
best
practice
for
us
to
send
us
into
calls
initially
by
ourselves.
So
what
I
mean
by
initially
is
like
901
calls.
We
do
follow-up
to
in
case
management,
which
is
completely
separate,
but
I
do
not
think
that
that
is
best
practiced,
nor
ethical,
nor
safe
for
us
or
the
responders
or
the
clients.
A
Thank
you
for
your
thoughtful
answer,
very
much
appreciated
and
appreciate
the
work
that
all
of
you
do,
I'm
wondering
if
I
could
get
an
answer
to
the
ability
to
or
the
if,
if
it
would
be
recommended
to
have
the
team
come
in
a
separate,
unmarked
car
and
if
the
police
officer,
if
it
would
be
recommended
that
they
not
wear
a
uniform
on
the
team
and
it
may
or
may
not
be
you
answering
this,
it
may
be
the
police
answering
this
so
I'll.
Let
you
decide.
C
AB
So,
as
we
saw
with
with
ccat,
the
ability
for
us
to
not
be
in
uniform
was
a
positive
okay
and
that's
something
that
as
we
move
forward.
That
is
something
especially
in
these
circumstances,
where
we
understand
that
this
uniform
can
mean
a
lot
of
things
to
many
different
people
that
we
want
to
make
sure
we
create
that
we
have
all
the
powers
and
abilities
of
a
law
enforcement
officer,
but
that
visible
peace
may
not
be
there.
That
may
be
that
wall
that
keeps
us
from
engaging.
AB
So
that's
absolutely
something
we
would
look
at
not
wearing
in
those
circumstances
and
make
sure
that
we're
dressed
in
a
different
way,
rather
than
a
traditional
police,
uniform
I.
Think
on
the
other
points.
Mariah's
words
are
very
strong
about
that
partnership
and
that
the
partnership
is
what
makes
it
work
and
we
are
standby,
the
fire
department
to
work
with
them
in
this
process
to
make
sure
that
we're
together
as
a
team,
to
respond
to
those
calls,
as
as
one
unit
together
to
make
sure
that
partnership
exists.
AB
Z
Go
thank
you.
Andrew
I
thought
you
were
speaking
to
Chief
Hagan,
oh
And,
in
regards
to
the
unmarked
cars.
Yes,
the
cars
in
the
pilot
were
all
marked,
and,
and
that
would
be
the
same
if,
if
the
program
went
forward
now
I'll
hand
it
over
to
to
vegan.
A
E
AC
I
do
think
it's
just
like
major
pop
talk
was
saying
there
is
value
in
that
that
time
is
very
valuable
in
route
to
a
call
in
kind
of
game
planning,
with
the
very
little
information
that
we
do
have
and
then
also
after
the
call
or
maybe
we're
transporting
somewhere.
It
is
really
valuable
for
us
to
be
in
the
same
place.
I
even
know
often
sometimes
we'll
get
separated.
AC
My
partner
and
I
like
when
we're
working
because
of
just
the
nature
of
the
situation
like
we'll
have
to
ride
in
the
aid
car
with
somebody,
and
that
is
a
little
detrimental
trying
to
like
communicate
over
text
and
trying
to
kind
of
figure
out
what
our
next
steps
are.
It
is
valuable
to
be
in
the
same
place
with
them.
It
also
builds
a
relationship
that
is
important
to
trust
and
getting
people
the
best
care
and
best
outcomes.
E
A
Great
I,
see
councilmember
Lee's
hand
is
up
and
then
and
councilmember
Robertson
even
want
to
speak
so
I'll,
let
councilmember
Lee
and
then
council
members
on
so
let
council,
member
Lee
go
first.
Y
Thank
you.
This
is
a
very
complex
subject
and
I
think
that
what
the
mayor
really
is
capitalize
the
the
essence
of
what
we're
looking
at.
You
know
it's
very
difficult,
but
it's
very
important
topic
and
it
needs
I,
believe
you
know
it
needs
a
lot
a
lot
more,
but
discussion
and
consideration
by
the
council.
We
are
discussing
the
c-cat
as
a
program,
but
to
me
I
think
that's
just
the
first
step,
hey.
Y
Ccap
program,
okay,
I
I,
cannot
support
the
amendment,
even
though
I
very
much
appreciate
what
council
member
positive's
concerned
that
the
Ebola,
because
IBC
Camp,
is
not
the
complete
answer
to
what
we
are
really
looking
for.
You
know
the
program
we're
looking
for
is
really
I
suggest
is
what
we
would
consider
traditionally
as
community
policing,
which
actually
includes
how
we
handle
a
situation.
That's
very
complicated:
it's
not
enforcement.
Only!
It's
not
just
treating
people's
mental
condition,
because
we
don't
know
what
they
are.
It's
a
situation,
different
changes.
Y
We
need
to
assess
the
situation
right
on
the
spot
or
as
much
as
we
can
so.
The
people
who
assigned
to
this
to
this
situation
has
to
be
able
to
determine
and
decide
and
be
the
right
people
to
make
the
right
choices
and
decisions
again
without
escalating,
but
actually
minimizing
the
initial
conflict.
I
think
this
is
to
me.
Ccad
is
the
first
step.
We
really
have
too
much
discussion
on
this,
because
it's
a
good
thing,
definitely
something
we
can
compliment
it's
actually
law
enforcement,
a
proposition.
Y
Y
This
that
way,
I
heard
from
the
speaker,
I
apologize.
The
the
sound
volume
is
not
very
well
transmitted
to
me.
You
have
to
speak
right
to
the
microphone
before
I,
hear
it
very
clearly
everything
so
I'm
missing
some
of
it.
I
hear
some
of
it,
but
the
chest
is
that
I
appreciate
the
the
the
information
we
get
and
we
can
get
other
informations
as
well.
Y
If
we
really
get
into
it,
we're
just
listening
to
One
one
piece
of
it:
one
one
person
one
perspective,
so
I
believe
that
you
know
when
we
confront
this
kind
of
situation.
It's
life
and
death
situation,
and
traditionally
you
know
the
police
officers
are
the
one
that
are
send
out
to
handle
this,
but
we
believe
that
rightfully
he
has
to
have
more
capability
and
more
ability
of
personnel
that
can
handle
the
situation
that
we
our
face.
Y
That
we
think
is
important,
so
we
need
to
have
all
the
tools
and
all
the
abilities
to
handle
those
situations.
You
just
put
one
person
out
there.
Well,
maybe
if
we
have
somebody
who
has
all
the
experience
possible,
that
would
be
ideal,
they
can
see
the
situation
and
assess
it
and
handle
it
right,
and
but
we
don't
have
it
right
now,
because
our
police
officers
train
differently
and
our
mental
health
professionals
train
differently.
Council.
Y
So
I'm
trying
to
say
is:
we
need
to
provide
a
real
conversation
on
community
policy,
so
in
order
to
really
address
this
situation,
this
question
adequately,
otherwise
we're
just
yeah
piecemeal
doing
things
that
you
know
it's
in
a
way
better,
not
very
productive.
So
I
I
believe
that
we
need
to
figure
out
how
to
do
this
either
to
continue
with
the
CCAP
program.
Now
as
a
piece
of
the
in
step
to
come
to
the
complete
solution
of
community
policy.
J
C
E
D
Member
Roberts,
okay,
just
waiting
to
make
sure
that
it's
my
turn.
Thank
you,
mayor
I
do
not
support
the
motion.
I
have
really
appreciated
hearing
from
people
who
are
on
the
front
lines,
a
mayor,
your
experience,
Mariah
We
also
got
emails
from
the
case
and
program
manager
for
cfh
and
the
director
of
mental
health
for
cfh
and
all
of
those.
D
All
of
the
folks
who
are
experienced
in
this
field
have
said
you
must
have
a
law
enforcement
presence
with
it
for
the
safety
of
the
person
in
crisis,
for
the
safety
of
the
people
who
are
trying
to
help
and
for
the
safety
of
bystanders.
I
I
think
that
we
piloted
ccat.
It's
worked
very
well.
We
are
going
to
fund
that
in
this
budget
and
I
know
knowing
Bellevue,
knowing
our
penchant
for
following
best
practices,
CCAP
May,
grow
and
change
and
evolve
and
become
even
more
effective
I.
D
Don't
think,
though,
pilot
spending
one
and
a
half
million
dollars
to
Pilot,
something
that
we
know
will
put
our
people
at
risk
and
put
people
in
crisis
at
risk
is
the
right
move.
So,
as
I
said
before
in
the
last
debate
debated
motion,
safety
is
number
one
that
goes
for
here
and
that
safety
of
our
people
too.
We
can't
send
people
into
danger
with
no
ability
to
protect
themselves
and
others.
Thank
you,
council
members
on.
V
V
We
are
I
want
to
make
sure
I'm
clear
about
what
I'm
hearing,
because
the
we
get
dispatched
from
norcom
9-1-1
is
that
right,
so
are
all
the
calls
that
we
go
out
and
get
deployed
to
from
the
norcom
9-1-1,
and
so
am
I
hearing
that,
based
on
the
the
risk
of
the
calls
and
the
uncertainty
about
what
you
might
encounter
when
you
arrive
that
the
likelihood
of
norcom
9-1-1
actually
dispatching
a
community
responder
unit
without
police,
I
think
what
I'm
hearing
you
say
is
that
this
resource
wouldn't
get
used,
because
we
wouldn't
be
deploying
a
community
responder
only
or
am
I
reading
that
incorrectly.
AD
AC
Let
me
so
I
think
there's
two
different
things
being
asked.
I
also
want
to
say
thank
you
for
taking
the
time
to
hear
what
we
have
to
say.
I
do
appreciate
it
a
lot
I
do
think
it's
important
when
we
are
the
way
we
currently
respond
as
Bobby
fire
cares.
AC
Is
that
a
call
comes
into
9-1-1
and
police
are
fire
dispatched
to
it,
depending
on
the
call
type,
and
then
police
are
fire,
the
ones
who
determine
whether
or
not
we
come
along
with
them,
and
then
we
are
dispatched
by
norcom
on
that
call,
what
I
was
saying
is
that
in
the
proposed
Pro
pilot
program,
where
you
have
two
Community
responders,
I
think
the
hope.
AC
My
understanding
of
the
hope
of
that
program
is
that
when
a
mental
emotional
call
comes
in
or
a
welfare
check
comes
in
calls
like
that,
that
then
the
Community
responder
pair
would
be
dispatched
to
those
calls,
and
what
I'm
saying
is
is
that
to
rely
on
a
on
a
phone
call
from
a
person
in
crisis
or
a
person
witnessing
the
crisis
that
is
very
dangerous
to
rely
on
that
information.
The
dispatcher
has
to
make
that
decision
based
on
the
information
they're
getting
from
that
other
person
on
the
phone
of
who
they
sent.
AC
Do
they
send
two
social
workers
by
themselves
or
do
they
send
a
social
worker
and
a
firefighter
an
analogy
that
I
used
in
my
letter
to
the
chief
today,
because
we're
in
the
fire
department
is
that
you
know
when
an
automatic
fire
alarm
comes
in
as
a
call
type,
they
send
a
lot
of
apparatuses
whether
or
not
they
know
what's
going
on
there
and
that's
where
they
start.
They
start
kind
of
with
a
bigger
picture
to
allow
themselves
the
flexibility
to
to
downgrade
to
change.
AC
But
we
don't
know
what
we're
going
into
when
we
get
mental
emotional
calls
and
I'm
not
trying
to
stereotype
that
they
are
violent
or
that
they
are
it's
not
even
about
the
violence.
Necessarily
it's
about
what
interventions
does
this
person
need
to
get
the
safety
and
the
treatment
that
they
need
if
it,
if
you're
calling
911
from
an
emotional
call,
it's
gotten
to
a
pretty
bad
place
for
that
person?
So
I
don't
know
if
I
answered
your
question
or
clarified
for
you
that,
but
it's
not
that
we're
saying
that
they
it's
just.
AC
We
don't
know
what
we'd
be
sending
them
to
there's
plenty
of
people
who
call
9-1-1
and
say
five
words,
and
then
we
get
dispatched
to
them
with
a
police
officer,
because
you
have
to
respond,
but
we
don't
know
what
that
call
is
even
our
people
that
we
see
pretty
frequently
the
situations
change.
We
don't
know
who's
in
that
house.
We
don't
know
who's
around.
We
don't
know.
AC
What's
going
on
that
day,
it
it's
changes
in
a
moment
and
I
think
that's
the
biggest
risk,
especially
if
a
call
comes
in
and
seems
pretty
casual,
but
turns
into
something
that
that
it's
not.
You
can't
wait
for
a
seven
minute
response
time.
J
J
I'm,
just
I
I,
don't
know
how
we
got
to
this
place.
It
sounds
like
we
should
have
in
about
a
week
figure
this
out
and
put
it
in
place.
J
If
we
listen
to
a
few
people
who
have
their
own
experiences
and
it's
it's
a
complex
issue
and
I
appreciate
and
I,
and
you
have
different
experiences
and
that's
the
interesting
thing
about
it
and-
and
it
may
be
absolutely
right-
I,
don't
remember
having
the
opportunity
based
on
my
own
experiences
on
something
to
be
able
to
to
say
well,
this
is
the
way
we
should
do
it,
because
this
is
what
what
I
did
or
what
or
anything
it's
it's
it's
hard
to
get
to
have
these
conversations,
because
people
are
very
passionate
about
what
they're
doing
and
they're
doing
work,
and
we
also
had
a.
J
J
This
is
not
the
model
that
everybody
uses.
In
fact,
there
are
a
lot
of
different
models
and-
and
there
are
people
who
believe
that
there
are
situations
where
you
don't
have
to
have
a
police
presence
and
you
don't
have
to
have
that
not
everything
is
is
from
the
way
you
see
and
it's
based
on
your
experience.
So
that's
it's
a
little
bit
frustrating
confusing.
J
It's
difficult,
it's
it
and
sometimes
it's
because
the
person
what
they
do,
but
what
I'm
I
guess
what
I'm
looking
at
is.
We
have
already
kind
of
decided
that
and
the
chief
put
a
fire
chief
I
mean
the
police
chief
said
it
pretty.
Clearly,
this
whole
process
is
is
something
in
motion.
We
don't
have
the
answer
and
I'm
hearing
tonight
is
an
answer
and
we
already
have
it
and
that's
that's
I,
understand
that
and
I
stand
the
belief
on
that
and
maybe
what
we
do
in
the
long
run.
J
But
it's
just
difficult
making
a
decision
that
affects
so
many
people
for
a
long
time,
knowing
that
there
are
thousands
of
people
outside
of
us
making
a
different
decision
based
on
their
own
information
and
we're
a
little
hesitant
to
try
to
see
why
that's
there
and
whether
that
we
can
make
some
modifications.
The
chief
made
it
clear
that
he
understands
and
I
think
that
you
look
at
we.
We
don't
lock
something
in
now
and
say:
that's
how
we're
going
to
be
doing
this
in
15
years
or
even
five.
J
J
We
could
do
it
in
a
few
weeks
and
we
could
do
it
without
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
expenditure
money
because
there's
a
lot
of
information
out
there
I
mean
I
was
a
little
surprised
that
the
response
was
well.
It's
going
to
take
a
year
and
it's
going
to
cost
millions
of
dollars
when
we
made
a
decision
to
go
with
c-cat
on
probably
what
about
a
quarter
or
less
of
that
so
I'm
not
getting
a
sense
of
that.
J
We're
that
we're
have
an
open
mind
at
this
point
in
going
forward,
but
that
we've
made
our
decision
and
all
this
conversation
and
thinking
about
some
other
way
do
it
is
kind
of
not
going
to
happen
and
I
think
that
would
be
unfortunate.
So
what
and
I
don't
think
what
councilmember
barstell
is
saying
is
anything
that
necessarily
challenges.
J
What
what
we
feel
or
what
you
individually
feel
or
people
who
have
been
doing
this
in
their
own
experience
and
lived
experience
is
very
important,
but
there's
all
also
other
kinds
if
it
was
only
lived
experience
of
wouldn't
be
going
to
school,
so
I
guess
what
I'm
I'm
concerned
about
is
that
and
I
would
like
some
more
explanation
of
what
would
happen.
If
what
would
change
if
council
members
marksdale's
Amendment
didn't
go
through
or
what
would
it
be
the
difference
if
it
went
through?
What
would
what
would
we
actually
end
up?
Doing?
J
Would
it
be
better
for
the
for
the
long-range
project
to
do
some
more
work
at
this
stage
before
we
lock
it
all
in
or
do
we
just
say?
Okay,
we've
got
it.
This
is
the
golden
thing:
let's
go
with
it
and
and
don't
worry
about
the
rest
of
it
and
I
I'm,
just
I'm
concerned
that
we're
and
it's
hard
to
to
make
a
decision
about
it,
because
it
is
it's
people
involved
in
it,
and
it's
very
important
and
everybody's
very
passionate
about
it.
J
So
I
think
that's
doing
some
more
work
as
we
go
along
and
in
fact,
I
think
we're
going
to
do
it
and
I
I
want
to
know
why
hundreds
of
other
cities
are
doing
something
differently
and
there
are
are
people
who
are
doing
the
approach,
that
your
suggestion
won't
work
and
for
good
reasons
and
what
your
own
experience
so
I
just
think
we
don't
need
to
lose
the
opportunity
to
make
sure
two
things
one
to
make
sure
that
what
we're
settling
on
really
is
the
best
thing,
because
if
you
go
back
and
look
at
the
report,
what
was
happened?
J
It
was
a
good
work
on
it,
but
it
didn't
take
a
lot
of
time
and
it
was.
The
input
was
pretty
much
on
people
who
already
had
their
own
opinion
on
it,
and
so
we
might
miss
the
opportunity
to
really
make
this
thing
work,
which
would
be
an
addition
to
an
expansion
of
what
you're
talking
about
in
integration.
What
you're
talking
about!
J
J
I
think
that
you
know
I
I
would
support
a
modification
of
council
members,
a
proposal
that
would
allow
us
to
continue
to
work
on
this
and
figure
out
in
the
long
run.
What
is
the
best
model
to
go
on
and
even
then
we're
going
to
be
making
conditions
as
we
go
along,
because
that's
the
way
we
got
to
this
place
because
we're
doing
something
people
weren't
doing
a
long
time
ago.
A
J
That's
what
I'm
saying
I
think
we
should
do
that
I,
don't
think
it's
going
to
cost
that
much
I,
don't
think
it's
going
to
take
that
much
effort,
but
I
think
it
would
be
valuable
to
to
make
sure
that
we
are
that
we're
not
missing
anything.
We
can't
go
back
five
years
from
now
and
say
we
wish
we
could
do
that
over
and
that
that's
what
I'm.
A
J
AD
Councilmember
Stokes
I
think
a
good
place
to
kind
of
get,
grounded
and
pick
up
where
we
talked
where
we,
where
we
left
last
week
was
that
ccat
has
proposed
is
a
good
place
to
start.
AD
We've
clearly
talked
about
and
established
that
the
need
in
the
community
is
very
real
and
that
we
have
to
get
started
on
something
pretty
quick
and
that
we
achieve
Shirley
and
I
have
made
articulated
a
commitment
to
learn
from
our
experience
and
grow
and
one
of
the
things
I
don't
know
if
you
ever
get
that
feeling
after
the
meeting
of
man.
I
really
should
have
said
that
last
time,
but
one
of
the
things
I
wanted
to
share
is
that,
with
the
10
years
of
experience
we
have
with
our
cares
program.
AD
M
AD
A
So,
starting
with
the
CCAP
program,
as
it's
proposed
today,
how
do
you
anticipate
it
will
evolve
and
respond
to
changing
needs
of
the
community
right.
AD
Thank
you
well,
first,
off
we've
also
heard
your
direction
that
we
want
to
be
working
on
Regional
metrics,
so
we
can
make
apples
to
apples
comparisons
across
jurisdictions
that
we
want
to
be
part
of
and
contributing
to,
the
body
of
knowledge
in
this
field
as
it
moves
forward
and
I've
had
a
chance
to
meet
with
other
program
leads
in
our
County
individually
and
just
today
as
part
of
the
King
County
Fire
Chiefs
Zone,
one
Consortium
on
mobile,
Integrated,
Health,
Care
and
and
what
we
can
do
to
support
each
other
and
move
this
forward
together.
AD
I
think
as
an
aspirational
goal,
everybody
wants
to
have
a
trend
towards
Community
response
from
co-response
I
mean
there's
that
genuine
interest
and
the
commitment
to
move
in
that
direction,
but
also,
as
we've
talked
about
today.
AD
AD
You
know
upstairs
with
our
partners
at
norcom
and
individually
as
different
jurisdictions,
that
we
would
move
ahead
and
grow
and
evolve
in
that
fashion,
and
it
was
council,
member,
Stokes
and
I
talked
about
earlier
this
week.
We're
not
locked
down
on
this
is
how
it's
going
to
be.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
I
think
we
agree
that
in
any
new
program
we
learn
stuff
right
out
of
the
gate
and
we
have
to
adjust
on
the
fly.
AD
But
one
of
the
reasons
that
you
see
the
Red
Coats
here
with
me
tonight
is
that
they're
here
for
two
primary
reasons:
number
one:
they
care
very
deeply
about
the
level
and
quality
of
service
we
provide
in
our
community.
AD
You
know
they're
they're
off
the
clock
they're
here
of
their
own
free
will
and
also
they
have
a
stake
in
in
responder
safety
and
they've
articulated
that
to
me
in
writing,
and
then
we
got
got
to
hear
it
in
person
again,
but
I
think
that
Spirit
of
growth
and
development
and
openness
based
on
the
fact
that
we
have
a
we
have
a
decent
place
to
start
now
and
we
have
to
get
started
because
our
community
needs
to
help
is.
Is
the
direction
we'd
like
to
head.
A
Thank
you
for
answering
the
questions
deputy
mayor.
B
Thank
you,
mayor
Seattle,
Times,
November,
8,
2005.,
Marty,
Smith,
knocked
on
Larry
Clark's
door
in
Poulsbo,
Smith
job,
a
crisis
responder
for
the
State
Mental
Health
System.
He
knew
his
job
was
inherently
dangerous,
but
Smith
had
done
the
work
for
years
and
according
to
Poulsbo,
police
Clark
was
familiar
with
the
local
mental
health
agency.
B
Smith
had
been
summoned
by
Clark's
mother,
who
told
neighbors
that
her
son
had
schizophrenia
and
was
not
taking
his
medications
instead
of
consenting
to
hospitalization
Clark
attacks.
Smith
is
his
fist
and
then
a
carving
knife
according
to
charging
papers,
as
Clark's
mother
screamed
for
help
outside,
and
there.
C
B
B
You
know
that
9-1-1
calls
are
very
tricky
because
of
the
information
that
you
have
are
better
at.
You,
don't
have
and
and
the
multiple
conversations
I've
had
with
with
police
with
firefighters,
Etc,
you
don't
know
until
you
get
there,
you
really
don't.
You
hope
that
the
information
is
accurate.
You
hope
that
the
description
and
the
situation
is
is
accurate,
but
too
often
it
is
not,
and
especially
when
dealing
with
these
Mental
Health
crisis,
you
don't
know
when
the
situation
is
going
to
be
become
violent.
B
B
It's
not
you
need
that
security.
You
need
an
officer
with
you
to
ensure
that
everybody
remains
safe.
You
know
I,
think
if
a
relationship
is
built
up
after
some
some
time,
I
think
that
changes,
but
during
those
911
calls
I
think
we
are
just
asking
for
trouble
and
again
there
are
multiple
other
cases
out
there
like
that.
The
ccat
program,
which
we
all
gushed
over
not
too
long
ago,
but
now,
maybe
we
want
to
change
it
now.
B
The
CCAP
program
is
a
fantastic
one,
but
it's
it's
the
vehicle
that
we
use,
of
course,
it'll
change.
It's
a
I
I,
think
of
it
as
a
kind
of
a
living
breathing.
You
know
program
that
will
adapt
that
will
change
and-
and
perhaps
some
of
the
things
being
discussed
here
tonight
will
be
looked
at
and
implemented
if,
if,
if
needed,
but
in
in
strictly
on
the
case
of
just
sending
Community
responders
to
these
types
of
situations,
I
just
think
it's
inherently
dangerous.
B
A
Thank
you
any
other
comments
or
questions
council
members
on.
V
Yes,
thank
you.
I
really
appreciate,
hearing
and
better
understanding
in
in
an
area
that
I'm
not
as
familiar
with
I,
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
are
clear
about
what
the
ask
is,
because
there
seems
to
be
some
discussion
about
this
as
a
replacement.
This
is
an
additive
program,
correct
and
not
a
subtractive
or
somehow
that
this
is
displacing
ccat
and
then
I
wanted
to
understand
when
you
talked
about
that.
V
The
first
touch
is,
is
the
ccat,
but
that
in
subsequent
calls
that
you,
depending
on
the
how
comfortable
you
feel
with
the
that
particular
individual,
yet
the
follow-on
calls
might
be
only
with
the
cares
program.
Is
that
right
so.
AC
As
our
program
is
now,
we
initially
respond
to
a
qualifier
and
police
and
then
that
we
call
it
a
referral
for
the
sake
of
this.
That
referral
goes
to
our
case
management
side
and
then
that
person
is
case
managed
for
as
long
as
they'd,
like
her
till
they
fire
us.
AC
The
current
ccat
model
is
that
when
it
is
fully
in
place
that
there
would
be
that
pass
over
to
the
case
management
side,
what
we're
talking
about
right
now
is
the
initial
response
to
a
9-1-1
call
and
I
think
that's
the
data
that
Chief
Hagin
was
speaking
about
was
that
we
do
lots
of
follow-up
without
police
and
I.
AC
Think
that
that's
also
what
informs
our
feelings
about
this,
because
we
have
learned
you
know,
after
going
somewhere
for
weeks
that
the
situation
has
changed,
and
there
was
you
know
someone
wanted
out
of
Seattle
for
half
a
million
dollars
in
the
house
for
the
two
months
that
we
were
sitting
there
with
our
client
and
then
it
escalated
to
you
know
a
pretty
serious
situation.
So
there's
things
like
that
that
happen,
and
but
we
do
go
out
and
do
these
visits
without
police.
AC
We
always
have
access
to
them,
but
it's
not
immediate,
like
we're
talking
about
these
kind
of
crises.
I
I
do
also
want
to
say
that
we
are
also
not
just
responding
to
mental
health.
Calls
it's
a
wide
variety
of
people
that
we're
working
with,
and
so
whether
that's
domestic
violence,
whether
that's
a
welfare
check,
whether
that's
someone,
who's
unhoused
and
those
all
those
situations,
two
sometimes
that
is
a
necessary
component
to
have
an
officer
there
and.
V
AC
AC
A
co-response
I
again
I
I,
think
for
the
sake
of
kind
of
where
we
are
I,
could
tell
you
story
after
story
after
story
of
why
I
believe
this
to
be
true
that
this
is
just
at
the
time,
not
what
where
we
can
start,
we
can't
start
with
sending
two
social
workers
without
a
police
officer
and
I'm,
a
firm
believer
that
things
have
all
been
changed
and
I
think
that's
the
beauty
of
the
social
work
profession
is,
you
know,
I
have
place
in
fire
sitting
next
to
me,
who
are
very
there's,
there's
lots
of
standards
of
procedure
and
rules,
and
this
this
and
this,
but
within
this
little
sort
of
profession,
I
think
we're.
AC
You
know
people
make
fun
of
us
for
being
so
out
of
the
box.
I
think
that
allows
for
us
to
evolve
with
the
times
and
be
understanding
of
what
needed
to
happen.
But
at
this
time,
responding
at
all
on
calls
things
change
with
our
with
our
clients.
AC
V
So
this
is
one
where,
because
Kirkland
is
starting
their
racer
program,
that
would
be
an
opportunities
for
us
to
learn
about
how
their
Community
crisis
response
is
going
because
I
understand
they
just
started
that
and
the
reason
I'm
asking
is
because
they're
using
the
same
norcom
9-1-1
that
we
are
and
so
I'm
just
trying
to
understand
the
context
of
our
neighboring
City
and
how
they're
standing
up
this
type
of
program
and
and
managing
the
risk
associated
with
that.
So.
V
AD
I
had
a
chance
to
have
lunch
with
the
Kirkland
leadership
earlier
actually
late.
Last
week,
unlike
Care's
radar
currently
always
responds
with
police,
with
a
uniform
patrol
officer.
They
arrive
together
even
for
follow-up
visits.
The
average
number
of
contacts
with
a
client
by
racer
is
two
whereby
comparison.
We
spend
one
hour
per
week
per
client
for
an
average
of
a
hundred
days
on
on
a
case,
because
we
have
a
very
robust
case
management
side
as
Mariah
was
just
explaining.
AD
Radar
or
racer
responds
with
any
patrol
officer.
They
are
not
paired
with
an
officer
which
is
a
major
distinction
with
the
CCAP
program,
because
we
have
hand
selected
specially
trained
officers
that
have
a
heart
for
this
service
that
get
it
that
understand
and
want
to
invest
and
that's
a
big
difference.
AD
And
then
one
other
relevant
point
about
that
is
that
five
cities
have
just
signed
an
Ila
into
the
into
the
radar
cooperative
and
they
would
they
would
more
than
likely
be
unable,
just
because
of
our
size
to
take
us
on
anytime
soon.
But
but
we're
committed
to
continue
to
meet
with
them,
keep
Pace
on
their
progress
and
share
Lessons
Learned.
A
Okay,
I
also
say
type
casting
social
workers.
They
have
very
good
handwriting
in
the
medical
world.
A
I
I'll
wrap
it
up
because
I
know
we
have
other
agenda
items.
Yes,
we
do.
Excuse
me
first
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
sharing
your
experience.
As
fire
cares.
Staff
member
into
all
of
our
fire
cares
team
for
the
work
that
you
do
in
our
community
and
also
May
are
sharing
your
experience
as
well.
Thank
you
and
for
the
discussion
I.
I
You
know
we
received
an
email
from
Ann
Larson
who
does
work
with
many
cities
on
community
responder
programs
and
I'll.
Just
say:
I
mean
I,
know
where
this
is
headed,
but
I'll
just
say.
You
know.
I
really
do
hope
that
we
evolve
to
at
least
explore
Community
responder
program,
because
you
know
my
understanding
is
that
Kirkland
is
also
radar
and
or
racer.
I
You
know
historically,
has
been
a
corresponder
a
co-response
program,
but
they're
exploring
and
experimenting
with
a
community
responder
program.
So
you
know
I
see
the
other
cities
even
in
Washington,
in
the
state
of
Washington,
doing
it
and
so
I'll
just
wrap
up
by
saying.
I
You
know
I'm
going
to
continue
to
support
this,
because
I
really
want
to
encourage
us
to
move
in
that
direction,
and-
and
you
know
the
thought
behind
those
two
was
to
hire
staff
who
have
done
this
work,
responding
to
crisis
response
so
that
you
know
they
they
have
a
little
bit
more
of
a
experience
with
it.
You
know
and
so
forth
so
and
I
think
that's
an
important
component,
so
I'll
leave
it
there.
C
A
Any
opposed
say
no,
no,
no,
okay,
that
does
not
pass
so,
but
the
c-cat,
as
proposed
in
the
budget,
moves
forward.
Okay,
the
last
section
that
we
have
is
the
ESI
and
I.
Don't
know
if
anybody
has
any
comments
or
amendments
go
ahead.
Council
members,
pardon
John.
C
V
V
You
know
we
heard
from
the
community
to
make
sure
that,
in
addition
to
the
municipal
goals
that
we're
trying
to
reach
that
we
are
spending
the
dollars
to
also
work
on
the
community's
aspect
around
reducing
greenhouse
gas
emissions
and
in
our
packet,
we
talk
about
sorry
I'm
going
there,
the
ver,
the
the
second
paragraph
of
the
area
under
environmental
stewardship,
the
last
sentence
says:
adding
staff
to
the
program
to
carry
out
the
community
actions
will
take
some
time
to
Gear
Up.
V
AE
Yes,
thank
you,
council
members
on.
Excuse
me.
The
the
number
of
staff
that
we'd
be
adding
with
the
additional
budget
would
be
four
to
five
working
on
multiple
programs
that
we
have
the
the
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
that
we
are
proposed
in
the
budget.
The
additional
annual
Edition
would
be
in
the
operating
budget
and
that's
what
we
would
use
for
the
additional
Staffing
as
well
as
for
beefing
up
some
of
those
programs.
AE
We
would
be
working
to
get
that
done
as
quickly
as
possible.
As
you
know,
the
market
right
now
is
very
difficult
when
it
comes
to
hiring
for
a
lot
of
these
positions,
so
we
would
be
doing
a
an
extensive
recruitment
program
to
try
to
get
as
many
of
them
on
board
as
we
could
within
the
within
the
first
quarter.
Second
quarter
we'd
hope
to
give
hope
to
get
up
to
full
Staffing
by
mid-year,
okay,.
V
And
then
we
had
in
our
budget
two
years
ago,
some
enhanced
community
outreach,
and
is
that
committee
or
group
going
to
continue
to
convene
so
that,
as
we
add
the
four
to
five
additional
staff
that
the
community
is
going
to
help
us
we're
going
to
have
that
interaction
for
how
best
to
deploy
and
work
directly
with
the
community
to
reduce
our
greenhouse
gas?
V
AE
That
group
still
meeting
candidly
I'm
not
familiar
with
that
group,
so
I,
but
I
would
assume
that
we
would
continue
that
if
it's
not
continuing,
we
will
get
that
going
again
because
that's
a
very
valuable
resource
to
us.
Yeah.
V
That's
good
I
was
looking
at
the
deputy
mayor
because
it
was
his
proposal
two
years
ago
to
stand
that
up
and
and
so
okay.
Well
I
I
would
like
to
recommend
to
my
fellow
council
members
that
we
are
well
first
of
all,
I'm
really.
C
A
Can
we
do
head
nods
on
that
I?
Think?
That's,
not
anything.
That
needs
an
amendment.
Okay,
thank
you.
That
sounds
good.
All
right,
I
knew
I
know
that
two
of
our
council
members
have
special
questions
that
I
will
remind
them
of,
but
other
council
members
may
have
questions
as
well.
So
I
know,
councilmember
Robertson
had
a
questions
about
the
parks
Levy
and
the
council.
Members
on
you
wanted
to
talk
about
the
wimby
program.
D
Okay,
okay,
what
I
believe
was
answered.
I
just
asked:
if
it
passed,
will
it
be
in
this
budget
and
thank
you
good
people
of
Bellevue.
It
appears
to
be
passing.
I
really
appreciate
the
trust,
but
that-
and
the
answer
in
the
packet
was,
is
that
it'll
come
back
for
a
adjustment
next
year,
which
I'm
satisfied
with
thank.
A
You,
okay,
great
council
members
on.
V
Yes,
thank
you
mayor,
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
were
clear
about
the
additional
Investments
that
are
in
our
budget.
V
So
my
question
was:
it
looks
like
the
in
the
budget.
We
talk
about
adding
a
quarter
position
for
the
1B
support.
The
other
three
quarters
would
be
for
apprenticeship,
but
what
else
is
in
our
existing
budget
to
make
sure
that
the
the
program
of
Supplier
Diversity
is
expanded
and
includes
Outreach
and
data
collection?
So
we
can
better
understand
what
we're
doing
and
and
potentially
do
even
more
for
with
our
community.
X
Sure,
council
members
on
thank
you
for
the
question
happy
to
take
it.
Yes,
the
base
budget
or
the
budget
within
finance
and
asset
management
does
have
resources
to
continue
to
implement
and
expand
the
wimby
program,
which
is
the
minority
women-owned
disadvantaged
business
program
to
create
diversity
and
Contracting.
We
have
done
some
shifting
of
resources
in
finance
and
asset
management
or
fam,
where
we
are
looking
at
putting
in
additional
resources
to
understanding
data
around
subcontra
subcontracting
data
which
we
currently
do
not
collect
and
so
be
able
to
get
that
data
as
well
as
Outreach
data.
V
A
Y
I
support
I
support.
What
the
council
members
Island
was
talking
about.
I
think
it's
important
to
recognize
yeah.
How
do
we
help
support
our
bwmb
contractors?
One
thing
I,
just
a
question
was
talking
about
some
Federal
grant
property.
Grand.
Are
you
talking
about.
A
I'm
gonna
ask
you
to
take
that
conversation:
offline,
councilmember,
Lee.
Thank
you.
Okay,
so
is
there
emotion.
E
B
A
A
As
council
member
Lee
was
still
with
us,
I'm
not
seeing
him
there,
he
is
okay,
so
I
need
somebody
to
make
a
motion.
Please,
because
I'm
going
to
switch
the
agenda
up.
First
of
all,
we're
going
to
move
our
Planning
Commission
recommendations
up
ahead
of
the
affordable
housing
tools
update,
but
before
that,
I
would
like
to
put
the
public
comment
right
now,
so
that
the
people
who
are
so
patiently
waiting
to
speak
can
speak
and
then
go
go
home.
So
do
I
have
a
motion
to
do
that.
A
Well,
it
would
be
before
the
Planning
Commission
recommendations
and
we
would
move
the
Planning
Commission
recommendations
to
before
the
affordable
housing
tools
update.
So.
A
B
B
First,
okay,
then
I
moved
to
put
the
Planning
Commission
recommendations
for
the
annual
comprehensive
plan
ahead
of
the
affordable
housing
tools
update
and
to
do
another.
Second
oral
communication
session
now.
D
D
A
So,
city
clerk,
could
you
run
the
the
second
public
comment
session
yeah.
G
G
AF
Good
evening,
mayor
Robinson
and
council
members,
my
name
is
Maria
Frost
I'm,
the
director
of
Transportation
at
Kemper
development
company
I,
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
share
some
of
our
thoughts
on
the
curb
management
policies
before
you
this
evening.
First
and
foremost,
I
want
to
express
sincere
gratitude
for
the
city's
efforts
over
the
last
several
months
to
listen
and
respond
to
the
feedback
that
they've
received
from
us
and
other
voices
in
the
community.
This
is
evident
in
the
recommendation
tonight
from
staff
in
attachment
week
that
curb
policies
be
rightly
modified
to
be
more
exploratory
than
directive.
AF
With
the
addition
of
the
word
consider
we
encourage
Council
to
accept
the
city
staff's
changes
policy
statements
being
more
exploratory
is
both
appropriate
and
wise,
given
that
the
city
is
still
collecting
productivity
data
that
they
need
to
inform
whether
these
ideas
are
necessary.
To
begin
with,
we
really
appreciate
the
city's
recognition
that
acquiring
and
analyzing
that
data
is
critical
to
the
development
of
the
curb
management
plan.
AF
Data
is
important
for
periodic
curb
management
plan
updates,
but
even
more
important
at
the
very
beginning,
and
laying
a
clear,
accurate
and
defensible
foundation
for
why
certain
policies
should
or
should
not
be
pursued
for
Bellevue.
Taking
the
time
to
get
this
right
and
to
follow
evidence
and
logic
from
the
onset
can
save
a
lot
of
time
and
frustration
in
the
future
I
want
to
offer
a
few
constructive
comments
on
policies.
Two
six
and
seven
as
the
city
considers
implementing
curb
pricing
and
policy
too.
We
encourage
no
further
action
toward
implementation
until
curb
activity.
AF
Data
is
acquired,
analyzed
and
shared
with
the
public
to
determine
what
the
problem
is
that
we're
trying
to
solve,
and
whether
the
pricing
is
the
appropriate
solution,
policy,
six
and
seven,
which
would
allow
for
vendor
and
food
truck
activities,
as
well
as
on
Street
dining,
parklets
and
other
place.
Making
activities
specifically
in
transportation.
AF
Right-Of-Way
locations
should
be
reconsidered
at
a
time
when
tens
of
thousands
of
people
are
forecast
to
be
moving
to
and
working
in,
downtown
Bellevue
having
that
straight
grid
as
unencumbered
as
possible
to
facilitate
the
free
flow
of
traffic
should
be
a
first
priority.
Lastly,
I
want
to
flag
that,
as
the
city
continues
to
work
on
the
CMP,
we
have
yet
to
see
discussions
or
planning
related
to
the
vast
amount
of
infrastructure
on
private
property
that
serves
loading,
drop-off
and
parking
rules.
AF
Bellevue
collection
and
many
other
properties
have
infrastructure
in
place
that
reduces
the
need
to
depend
on
the
curb
and
public
right-of-way
and
should
be
considered
in
the
CMP.
We
hope
the
city
can
partner
with
major
property
owners
who
have
this
infrastructure
in
place
and
are
looking
at
on-site,
which
is
similar
to
those
you
wish
to
accommodate
in
a
CMP.
This
really
is
a
good
opportunity
for
the
public
and
private
sectors
to
work
together
to
achieve
a
positive
outcome
for
the
entire
Bellevue
Community,
and
we
look
forward
to
engaging
with
you
in
that
way.
Thank
you.
G
G
Appears
he
has
also
left
Joe
eschba.
AG
Thank
you
I'm
here
to
express
my
concern
and
interest
to
protect
the
tree
canopy
in
Bellevue
as
a
resident
at
Bellevue
since
1964
and
a
homeowner
here
for
the
past
31
years.
Trees
mean
a
lot
to
me.
They
bring
life,
they
mitigate
climate
issues
and
I
believe
they
improve
Mental
Health
I'm,
blessed
to
live
on
a
half
acre
lot
in
this
beautiful
city
in
a
forest
surrounded
on
two
sides
by
a
green
belt.
AG
It
truly
makes
me
happy,
but
there
are
many
reasons
why
people
remove
trees
and
many
of
us
men
are
predisposed
to
in
kind
of
a
slash
and
burn
mentality
when
doing
yard
work.
Also,
I
hear
a
lot
of
anxiety
from
other
homeowners
about
trees,
blocking
views
or
dropping
God
forbidden
leaves
when
they
have
to
rake.
You
know
that
they
have
to
rake
or
that
they
might
trees
might
fall
in
a
windstorm
and
hit
their
house
or
trees
blocking
light.
AG
Canopy
I've
heard
that
there
are
codes
that
prohibit
cutting
down
trees
of
a
certain
size
or,
if
it's
you
know,
within
a
certain
number
of
feet,
of
a
certain
size,
slope
I,
don't
know
if
that's
true,
but
I
can't
tell
you
what
those
what
what
those
rules
are
because
they're
all
these
complicated
data
points
and
and
I,
don't
think
that
tree
removal
companies
are
even
in
the
know
if
these
codes
exist,
but
they
should,
of
course,
as
slopes
need
trees
to
soak
up
groundwater
and
prevent
erosion
and
slides
and
Big
Trees
Provide
support
and
benefit
for
Animals
of
all
sizes,
including
us
humans.
AG
Government
governmental
contracts,
I
think,
having
codes
that
that
tree
removal
companies
must
comply
with,
could
really
make
a
significant
impact.
We
need
Common
Sense
codes
before
we
lose
more
of
this
precious
resources
that
make
Bellevue
so
great.
Thank
you
for
considering,
and
thank
you
all
for
your
your
great
service
to
this
wonderful
City.
S
My
super
smart
console
a
pure
Democrat,
a
pure
Nazi,
a
pure
fascist
who
control
everybody
in
teen
country
in
Seattle

beat
Center
of
fascism.
My
name
Alexander,
my
president
of
stand
up.
America
I
wanna
speak
right
now
about
something.
What
is
a
I
think
critical,
important
right
now.
First
number,
one
a
very
happy
so
tomorrow
my
president
Trump
will
announced
election
24.
You
know
what
this
mean
and
I
will
doing
this
right
now
too.
So
I
right
now
are
nonsenser.
I'm
Alex
Zimmerman
will
be
candidate
for
Bellevue
Council.
S
You
know
what
is
meant
when
you
dream.
Why
are
doing
this
for
one
particular
reason,
because
for
35
feet
right
here
to
you
and
try
understand
what
you're
doing
here
you
look
like
philosopher,
you
know
what
this
mean.
Are
you
a
business
you
for
people?
I,
don't
think
so,
but
you
for
people
five
years
ago
you
change
through
30
minutes
and
10
people.
Why
I
remember
this
for
30
years?
You
know
what
this
mean.
You
have
nice,
nice,
nice,
a
light.
Bell
of
you.
You
know
what
this
means,
but
for
last
10
years
you
change.
S
Fundamentally,
idiot
can
elect
only
idiot.
No
another
Choice
you'll
never
see
before
something
different.
So
you
right
now
doing
something.
What
is
before
my
position
is
not
only
for
my
absolutely
idiotic
are
you
here
for
who,
for
you
or
for
people,
people
possibly
first,
when
people
supposed
to
be
first
give
everybody
chance.
Speak
I
spoke
around
from
Seattle
to
Tacoma
from
Tacoma
to
Everett
more
than
three
thousand
times
from
last
may,
I
speak
almost
five
six
times
per
week
every
week
everywhere.
S
I,
try
understand
what
you're
doing
here.
When
you
don't
listen
to
people
who
you
are
why
this
hundred
fifty
thousand
idiot
elect
you
when
you
don't
want
to
listen
to
them,
give
him
10.
30
minutes
is
idiotic
situation.
So
I
ask
you
come
back
to
normal
belly.
What
is
I
see
35
years
ago,
normal
civilized
City,
who
have
Republican
and
Democrat,
is
not
about
Republican
Democrat
I'm,
not
Republic
and
I'm,
not
Democrat,
but
there's
a
right
for
different
opinion.
You
don't
have
this
right
now.
S
It's
a
pure
fascism,
you're
secret
about
this,
because
ice
life
go
worse.
Is
don't
go
better,
so
I
speak
right
now:
250
000
idiots
who
live
in
the
city.
They
not
Idiot.
They
smart
intellectual,
enriched
change.
This
chamber
go
for
election
you'll
have
a
forum
every
two
weeks,
so
we
can
have
in
talking
about
problem.
What
is
we
have
stand
up?
America
for
everybody
stand
up
for
Trump
stand
up
for
America.
Thank
you
very
much.
H
My
name
is
Janice
Hein
and
I'm
very
thankful
that
I
live
in
Bridle
Trails
neighborhood
in
beautiful
Bellevue,
I
love
this
city
and
as
mayor
Robinson
knows,
I,
don't
only
consider
it
a
city
in
a
park
I
think
of
it
as
a
city
of
Miracles,
foreign
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
am
very
thankful,
not
only
for
my
city,
but
for
my
counsel.
Thank
you
very
much,
you're
all
dedicated
and
I'm.
So
proud
of
you.
H
What
are
you
thankful
for
I
bet,
you're
thankful
that
next
week
you're
going
to
get
some
days
off
and
be
able
to
go
with
your
family
and
that's
because
it
is
going
to
be
Thanksgiving
next
week
and
it
came
to
my
attention
that
there
really
is
no
public
acknowledgment
and
I
just
wanted
I
Googled,
Thanksgiving
Day,
an
annual
national
holiday
in
the
United
States
celebrating
the
Harvest
and
other
blessings
of
the
past
year.
H
H
It
has
seemed
fit
to
me
and
proper
that
we
or
they
should
be
solemnly
and
reverently
and
gratefully
acknowledged
as
one
heart
and
one
voice
by
the
whole
American
people,
and
it
came
to
my
attention
that
next
week,
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
there
is
no
acknowledgment.
There's
we're
not
one
voice
expressing
how
grateful
we
are
for
all
the
wonderful
things
that
are
on
the
other
side
of
covid.
We,
you
know,
have
many
awards.
H
So
what
I
am
suggesting
is
that
you
consider
having
some
simple
event,
maybe
a
celebration
of
maybe
a
public
announcement
I
ask
that
you
defer
to
Mayor
Robinson.
She
could
decide.
Perhaps
something
simple
and
I
offer
my
help
in
any
way
possible,
even
with
music
or
just
having
people
there,
as
she
announces
all
the
wonderful
things
that
are
happened
this
past
year
in
Bellevue
and
I
just
want
to.
H
G
A
Would
be
the
end
of
our
list?
Okay,
thank
you
very
much
for
putting
that
in
well.
I
know
that
we
have
Vice
chair,
Bart,
Lucifer,
bhargava
and
chair
stash
here
tonight.
Thank
you
for
your
patience
with
us
and
for
sticking
that
out
with
us,
we're
anxious
to
hear
from
you.
We
have
a
Planning
Commission
recommendation
that
meshed
with
our
Transportation
Commission
as
well
so
city
manager.
Would
you
like
to
introduce
this
please.
W
So
for
the
second
topic
on
your
study
session
are,
as
you
mentioned,
two
Planning
Commission
recommendations
for
the
2022
annual
comprehensive
plan
in
terms
of
amendments,
and
they
both
relate
to
one
is
curb
management
and
the
other
affordable
housing
on
faith-owned
property.
AH
Thank
you
for
the
introduction
city
manager,
Miyaki
and
good
evening,
mayor
Deputy,
Mayor
and
members
of
council
staff
and
representatives
from
the
Planning,
Commission
and
Transportation
Commission
are
here
tonight
to
transmit
the
recommendations
as
part
of
the
2022
annual
comprehensive
plan.
Amendment
process.
AH
Bellevue's
comprehensive
plan
is
a
foundational
policy
document
for
the
city
and,
as
you
know,
we
have
a
very
thoughtful
thorough
process
that
we
use
to
make
amendments
on
an
annual
basis.
We
typically
do
transmit
those
to
Council
in
the
November
time
period
and
look
for
adoption
in
the
December
time
period
tonight
we're
seeking
Council
Direction
on
two
city-initiated
plan
amendments
you've
been
hearing
quite
a
bit
about
those
in
the
in
the
public
dialogue
as
well
and
with
Council
direction.
AH
We
would
bring
these
back
for
adoption
in
December
before
handing
the
presentation
over
to
our
commission
officers
and
and
staff
I
do
want
to
thank
the
the
broader
commissions,
transportation
and
Planning
Commission
for
their
their
great
work
on
this
and
the
robust
dialogue
they
had
along
the
course
of
the
Year
informing
these
thoughtful
recommendations
for
the
the
city
council.
So
with
that
I'm
going
to
hand
things
over
to
staff
and
the
commission
officers.
AI
Good
evening,
mayor,
Robinson,
Deputy,
Mayor,
new
in-house
and
council
members
this
evening
just
wanted
to
go
over
briefly
what
we're
going
to
be
covering
as
part
of
our
presentation
to
you
and
as
Emil
said
included.
We
we
have
two
City
initiated
amendments,
so
we're
going
to
go
over
each
of
those
amendments
separately
and
then
pause
for
Council
questions
and
then
discussion
and
then
direction
from
from
city
council.
AI
So,
first
off
we're
going
to
cover
the
comprehensive
plan
decision
criteria
which
both
the
Planning
Commission
use
as
their
foundation
for
making
the
recommendation,
as
well
as
city
council
as
part
of
our
code.
Following
that,
we'll
provide
you
with
an
overview
on
curb
on
the
curb
management,
comprehensive
plan
amendments
as
I
said,
we'll
pause
once
we're
through
that
process
and
then
have
opportunity
for
Council
questions
and
discussion,
but
as
well
as
a
formal
recommendation
or
direction
for
us
to
come
back
at
a
future
date.
AI
AI
So
with
that
I'm
not
gonna
read
through
the
entire
slide,
but
just
want
to
provide
an
overview.
This
is
the
decision
criteria
and,
as
you
know,
this
comes
before
you
every
year
through
our
annual
amendment
process.
I'm
sure
you're
fairly
familiar
with
it,
just
want
to
highlight
that
this
is
the
criteria
that
both
that
the
Planning
Commission
used
in
formulating
their
recommendation.
So
they
look
at
compliance
with
a
comp
plan.
Growth
management
act,
King,
County
policies,
looks
at
other
criteria
like
change
conditions
within
the
city.
AI
So
our
two
amendments
this
year,
both
City,
initiated
the
first
amendment,
is
related
to
our
transportation
element,
as
well
as
the
downtown
sub-area
plan,
and
that
really
relates
to
adding
policies
in
support
of
curb
management.
The
second
city
city,
initiated
amendment,
is
C1
phase
two
under
the
affordable
housing
strategy.
Council
provided
direction
for
us
to
start
work
on
phase
two
and
that's
really
looking
at
adding
additional
opportunity
for
affordable
housing
on
certain
types
of
eligible
properties
in
single-family
land
use
districts.
AJ
They
transmitted
those
recommendations
to
Planning
Commission
and
over
the
course
of
one
meeting
and
one
public
hearing,
Planning
Commission
reviewed
and
discussed
policy
recommendations
as
well
at
the
public
hearing
on
September
14th
Planning
Commission
motioned
to
approve
amended
policies
on
a
four
to
one
vote,
and
those
are
the
policies
in
front
of
you
today
for
your
review.
So
with
that
I'm
going
to
pass
it
over
to
the
chair
of
the
Transportation
Commission
Karen
stash.
AK
Thank
you
Chris.
So,
as
Chris
mentioned,
we
did
have
three
meetings
within
the
Transportation
Commission,
discussing
our
recommendations
for
the
curb
management
policy
amendments,
and
with
that
we
in
our
discussions,
we
talked
about
the
framework
for
curb
management
as
well
as
just
general
how
to
manage
the
curbs
within
the
city.
So
we
did
look
at
the
at
the
broader
use
of
the
the
curbs
we
did
take
Equity
into
account
with
these
discussions,
and
we
did
talk
about
a
way
to
how
to
build
that
appropriately
within
to
the
comprehensive
plan.
AL
The
Sash
and
good
evening,
mayor
Robinson
and
council
members,
my
name
is
Vishal
bhargapa
I'm,
the
vice
chair,
Planning
Commission,
on
June
22nd,
the
Planning
Commission
received
transmittal
from
the
Transportation
Commission,
with
the
recommended
curb
management
policy
language.
AL
During
the
discussion,
the
Planning
Commission
reviewed
and
discussed
the
policies,
all
members
of
the
Planning
Commission
Express
support
and
gratitude
to
the
transportation
commissions
for
this
work
and
recommendations.
However,
some
of
the
members
of
the
commission
expressed
confusion
about
some
of
the
policies
that
referred
directly
to
the
curb
management
plan.
The
confusion
stemmed
from
the
fact
that
the
curb
management
plan
is
still
under
development
on
September
14th,
the
planning
Planning
Commission
held
a
public
hearing
on
the
proposed
curve
management
policies.
AL
Members,
the
public
provided
testimony
during
the
public
hearing
and
oral
Communications,
expressing
both
support
and
opposition
to
the
policies.
During
the
meeting,
the
Planning
Commission
motion
to
approve,
by
a
vote
of
four
to
one,
that
the
city
council
adopt
the
proposed
comprehensive
plan.
Amendment
in
support
of
curb
management
motion
included
staff
proposed
policy
changes
to
the
transportation
commission's
recommendations
that
are
advised
in
response
to
feedback
from
the
public,
as
well
as
previous
Planning
Commission
discussions.
The
comprehensive
plan
amendment
is
consistent
with
the
decision
criteria
and
land
use
code.
AJ
Thank
you
Vice
chair,
so
the
the
suite
of
policy
policy,
language
in
support
of
curb
management
covers
many
different
uses
of
the
curb.
There
were
proposals
to
modify,
repeal
and
add
new
policy
language.
This
slide
shows
the
language
that
is
proposed
to
either
be
modified
or
repealed
in
this
slide
shows
the
eight
new
policies
that
were
advised
to
be
added
into
the
comprehensive
plan.
Again,
these
policies
provide
a
broad
foundation
in
support
of
a
more
robust,
curb
management
approach,
specifically
to
the
city
of
bellevue's
urban
core
neighborhoods.
AJ
During
the
Planning
Commission
public
Hearing.
In
September,
we
heard
from
a
number
of
oral.
We
heard
a
number
of
oral
and
written
communication.
We
had
10
comments
in
writing
and
12
folks
that
spoke
at
the
public
hearing
again,
both
in
favor
and
in
opposition
of
the
proposed
CPA.
AJ
Between
the
planning
commission's
public
hearing
and
tonight's
meeting,
this
project
staff
received
continued
input
from
the
public
in
regards
to
policy
language.
AJ
AJ
The
the
justification
for
these
changes
really
allows
more
flexibility
within
the
comprehensive
plan
to
ensure
a
more
robust
and
comprehensive
understanding
of
these
subject
material.
So
the
the
two
recommended
changes
are
listed
under
new
Dash
2
and
new
Dash
seven.
They
are
both
minor
changes
changing.
Essentially
the
action
word
for
the
policy
itself,
but
keeping
the
content
of
the
policy
intact.
AJ
In
summary,
through
the
course
of
robust
public
engagement
and
feedback
from
the
transportation
and
Planning
Commission,
we
developed
a
strong
suite
of
policies
that
provide
support,
Direction
and
content
for
the
ongoing
curb
management
plan.
Effort
that
occur
management
plan
effort
is
expected
to
conclude
next
year
and
the
city
council
will
have
an
opportunity
to
review
and
comment
on
that
plan
in
2023.
AJ
So
we
are
excited
to
to
continue
advancing
the
the
project
and
look
forward
to
your
feedback.
A
Okay,
maybe
if
we
stick
on
slide
13,
that
will
give
us
an
idea
of
what
the
staff
recommendation
is
versus
the
commissions
recommendations.
So,
council,
member
Robertson,
let's
start
with
you,.
D
Appreciate
everyone
being
here
and
staying
so
late
for
volunteers
having
another
meeting
so
yes,
the
the
this
came
through
the
Transportation
Commission
to
the
Planning
Commission.
As
Chris
explained,
there
was
a
lot
of
Engagement
and
they
did
amend
the
policies.
D
The
thing
that
is
important
to
keep
in
mind
about
this
is
that
and
I
support
the
the
Planning
Commission
policies
with
the
slight
modifications
by
staff,
because
comp
plan
policies
are
meant
to
be
kind
of
be
the
goal
and
the
framework
where
the
action
is
going
to
be
with
curb
management
is
in
the
curb
management
plan
which
is
currently
being
drafted
as
it's
drafted,
there'll,
be
data
gathered
to
figure
out
what
the
right
place
for
you
know.
Certain
uses
are
and
or
the
right
situation,
and
that's
where
the
details
are
going
to
come.
D
So
the
goal
I
think
was
to
make
sure
that
the
policies
that
we
are
being
asked
to
adopt
this
year
are
broad
enough
to
allow
the
detailed
work
of
the
current
management
plan
to
happen
without
trying
to
get
ahead
of
that.
So
changing
it.
Implement
pay
for
curb
use
program
to
consider.
It
may
not
be
appropriate
everywhere,
it
might
be
appropriate
some
places,
not
others,
and
so
it
just
allows
the
curbside
management
plan
that
will
come
forward
next
year
to
figure
out
the
details.
D
So
I
I
really
really
appreciate
the
work
of
both
the
commissions
and
the
staff
on
this
I
think
that
what
we
have
in
terms
of
these
policies,
as
recommended
by
by
Planning
Commission
with
the
minor
changes
by
staff,
really
take
into
account
the
comprehensive
input
we
had
from
all
different
sides
and
will
allow,
rather
than
inhibit
any
work
in
the
curb
manager
plan
to
happen
next
year.
So
my
recommendation
is
that
we
we
take
the
staff
recommendation.
A
V
Yes,
thank
you.
I,
too,
want
to
express
my
appreciation
for
getting
to
this
point
in
the
work.
I
still
remember,
when
we
added
curb
management
as
a
concept
in
the
comp
plan,
you
know
eight
years
ago,
knowing
that
it
was
really
quite
Visionary
to
look
at
planning
for
a
curb
which
a
lot
of
cities
don't
do
so
I'm
really
excited
that
we're.
At
this
point,
we've
gotten
a
lot
of
input.
I
guess
my
question
about
the
proposed
staff
changes
is
I.
AJ
Staff's
interpretation
is,
is
that
it
is
correct.
The
the
inclusion
of
the
word
considers
more
in
alignment
with
a
broad
policy
approach.
There's
other
words
that
you
know
could
be
selected
but
consider
is,
is
consistent.
It
essentially
allows
us
to
provide
more
of
the
action
and
the
implementation
details
within
the
plan
itself.
This
is
consistent
across
all
the
functional
plans
at
the
city.
Okay,.
J
I
I,
yeah,
I,
understand
and
I
find
it
interesting.
I
think
it's
a
semantics
thing,
obviously
coming
from
the
commission
to
the
staff
for
implementation
would
mean
considering
their
recommendation
to
implement
a
plan
so
I,
and
but
if
it
suits
your
you
know
the
approach
on
it
makes
a
little
clearer.
That's
that's
fine,
I,
don't
I,
don't
think
it's
changed
anything
in
reality,
but
it
does
kind
of
maybe
focus
a
little
bit
more.
J
Y
Thank
you,
I
want
to
thank
the
commissioners
first
of
all,
a
second
I,
like
the
staff
who
post
changes,
I,
think
that
gives
the
commission
an
opportunity
to
be
a
little
bit
flexible
to
look
at
different
situations,
and
sometimes
maybe
it's
not
appropriate
to
implement
but
consider
it
I
think
that's
a
lot
more
responsibility
and
respective
in
the
commission
to
make
and
finally.
F
Y
Like
to
know
what
is
the
one
negative
vote,
if
you
do
the
chair,
maybe
say
a
couple
of
words
about
that
and
also
yeah
and
the
second.
You
also
mentioned
when
you
first
considered
this
policy.
You
said
it
has
before.
AL
You
so
the
one
dissenting
word
that
came
from
commissioner
Khaled
was
really
focused
around
the
fact
that
she
felt
that
there
was
a
not
enough
Clarity
how
the
proposed
policies
will
actually
benefit
the
city.
AL
Her
concerns
was
around
the
fact
that
there's
not
enough
land
to
allow
for
all
things
to
happen,
and
it
would
be
great
for
certain
parts
of
the
city,
but
not
for
the
majority
of
the
city.
That
was
her
concern,
which
the
rest
of
the
Planning
Commission
did
not
share.
Y
I
All
right,
thank
you
mayor,
so
I
support
the
the
change.
I
did
have
one
question
just
to
follow
up
on
Matt
Jack's
comment:
is
there
what's
the
substantive
difference
between
consider
and
allow
for.
AJ
I
think
both
would
be
acceptable
in
the
eyes
of
Staff.
They
generally
provide
again
broad
policy
direction
to
to
explore
again.
Another
word
explore
the
the
potential
implementation
of
both
of
these
items.
Okay,
thank
you.
Deputy.
A
B
Thank
you
mayor.
Well,
thank
you,
Commissioners.
Thank
you
staff.
Thank
you,
member
council,
member
Roberson,
as
well
as
lays
on
the
Planning
Commission
I'm,
supportive
of
the
proposed
staff
changes
here
and
and
the
use
of
consider
in
both
cases
so
happy
to
move
this
forward.
Thank
you.
A
Just
have
one
question
to
staff:
will
there
be
some
kind
of
a
parking
study
that
will
inform
any
recommendations
on
the
the
pay
for
curb
program.
AJ
A
H
C
A
AI
Thank
you
mayor
a
little
bit
of
background.
As
Council
may
recall,
on
May
9th
we
staff
were
directed
by
Council
to
work
on
C1
phase
two
under
the
affordable
housing
strategy,
which
really
focuses
on
increasing,
affordable
housing
potential
on
certain
types
of
eligible
properties
located
in
single-family
land
use
districts
owned
by
religious
organizations.
AI
AI
This,
of
course,
really
focuses
on
certain
types
of
eligible
properties.
What
certain
criteria
it
also
incorporates
as
part
of
the
work
program,
a
land
use
code
Amendment,
which
would
come
later
as
well
as
potential
and
associated
rezones
as
part
of
ongoing
discussions
relating
to
affordable
housing,
Council
also
directed
staff
to
look
at
a
larger
radius.
The
initial
radius
was
300
feet,
and
so
we
really
looked
at
opportunities
to
increase
that
to
500
feet
and
a
lot
of
those
details
will
be
forthcoming
as
part
of
the
land
use
code.
Amendment
process
as
well.
AI
So
the
Planning
Commission
held
two
study
sessions
in
a
public
hearing
also
on
September
14th.
They
discussed
a
number
of
issues
at
both
study
sessions
also
listened
to
a
number
of
to
a
large
amount
of
community
feedback
throughout
the
process.
Some
of
the
some
of
the
highlights
on
the
issues
that
the
Planning
Commission
discussed
related
to
geographic
distribution
of
the
eligible
properties,
access
to
Transit,
really
the
stakeholder
and
Community
engagement
process,
as
well
as
potential
proximity
of
the
eligible
properties
to
both
multi-family
and
Commercial.
Zoning.
AL
September
14th
the
Planning
Commission
held
public
hearing
for
the
proposed
C1
phase,
two
members
of
the
public
provided
testimony
during
the
public
hearing
and
oral
Communications,
expressing
both
support,
as
well
as
opposition
to
the
policies.
The
Planning
Commission
was
supportive
of
the
policy
amendments
and
recommended
a
buy.
A
5-0
vote
that
the
proposed
amendments
for
affordable
housing
strategy
actions,
C1
phase
two
be
approved
since
the
proposed
amendment
met
the
land,
use
code
decision
criteria
20.301.150.
AI
So
I
wanted
to
highlight
for
Council
what
the
policy
amendments
entail.
We
have
three
major
changes.
One
is
adding
a
note
to
the
comprehensive
plan
land
use
map
which
states
that
single
family
designated
areas
that
were
shown
on
the
map
would
be
allowed
to
be
reclassified
or
rezoned
to
multi-family
through
our
future
rezone
process.
If
they
were
developed
with
a
hundred
percent
affordable
housing,
we
also
added
proposing.
We
are
also
proposing
to
add
two
additional
policies
into
the
housing
element
within
the
comp
plan.
AI
One
one
would
have
specific
policy
language
and
guidance
and
specifies
criteria
for
those
eligible
properties
and
really
sets
the
stage
for
how
the
results
gonna
occur
in
the
future.
There
was
also
a
additional
policy
language
in
support
of
assist,
providing
assistance
from
City
staff
to
religious
organizations
with
guiding
faith
faith
organizations
through
the
result
process,
as
well
as
just
providing
overall
Guidance
with
developing
affordable
housing.
AI
So
the
map
proposed
language
that
would
go
on
the
comprehensive
plan.
Land
use
map
would
essentially
provide
guidance
and
Direction
relating
to
rezones
for
those
eligible
properties.
AI
AI
Policy
that
that
really
provides
guidance
for
C1
phase
two:
that's
both
the
land
use
code
Amendment
as
well
as
future
resounds
essentially
provides
language
in
support
of
the
criteria,
so
the
properties
would
have
to
be
developed
with
a
hundred
percent.
AI
Affordable
housing
ownership
would
have
to
be
by
a
religious
organization,
also
provides
additional
criteria
relating
to
proximity
to
our
frequent
Transit,
Network
or
high
capacity
transportation,
and
then
proximity
to
multi-family
and
Commercial
zoning
or
land
use
designations,
and
then
the
second
policy
is
really
speaking
to
providing
support
to
our
religious
institutions
from
by
City
staffed
in
order
to
provide
them
with
assistance
as
they
develop.
Affordable
housing.
AI
We
also
wanted
to
touch
on
the
land
use
code,
amendment
process.
We
heard
a
lot
from
the
community
and
we'll
talk
about
that
shortly
relating
to
the
public
comment
that
we
received
both
at
the
public
hearing
and
throughout
the
process.
A
lot
of
those
comments
would
really
be
addressed
through
the
land
use
code,
amendment
process,
providing
counsel,
adopts
the
policies
and
support
of
C1
phase.
AI
AI
We
also
anticipate
that
the
Luca
would
entail
a
fair
amount
of
stakeholder
and
community
outreach
as
part
of
the
as
part
of
the
land
use
code.
Amendment
process.
AI
So,
in
terms
of
the
timeline
we
started
this
process
as
I
said
right
at
the
at
the
beginning,
on
May
9th,
when
Council
provided
us
with
direction.
AI
So,
a
little
bit
on
community
engagement,
we
of
course
complied
with
our
standard
legal
requirements.
We
provided,
you
know,
notices
notice
of
application
as
well
as
the
public
Hearing.
In
addition,
we
also
provided
courtesy
notice
to
all
Property
Owners
within
500
feet
of
all
those
eligible
properties.
We
also
provided
feedback
to
all
the
comments
received
and
responses
and
writing.
We
updated.
We
had
a
website
dedicated
to
this
effort,
which
was
updated
on
a
regular
basis
as
well
as
a
comprehensive
plan.
Amendment
web
page
was
also
updated
with
information
on
the
overall
comp
plan
amendment
process.
AI
We
also
had
a
virtual
information
session
with
the
community.
We
had
about
25
members
from
the
community
attending
that
session,
provided
responses
and
also
provided
an
overview
to
the
Planning
Commission
and
then,
of
course,
we
had
the
study
sessions
with
a
Planning
Commission,
as
well
as
the
official
public
hearing
and
recommendation.
AI
At
the
hearing,
we
received
a
fair
amount
of
public
testimony
and
engagement.
We
had
a
number
of
speakers
that
testified
at
the
hearing.
Several
of
them
provided
a
comment,
a
combination
of
support
for
the
proposal,
as
well
as
concerns
raised
relating
to
not
quite
understanding
the
scope
of
how
the
of
how
the
proposal
really
worked,
and
we
also,
we
also
heard
some
opposition
for
the
proposal.
AI
So
an
overview
of
the
public
comments
that
we
heard
in
support.
We
heard
a
lot
about.
You
know
the
city
really
undertaking
Boulder
approaches
to
ensure
that
affordable
housing
really
gets
built
within
the
city.
We
heard
the
significance
of
geographic
distributions,
ensuring
that
all
the
eligible
properties
are
not
located
within
one
area
of
the
city
talked
about
opportunities
for
streamlining
our
overall
process
relating
to
permitting
and
then
feedback
on
how
to
incorporate
Green,
Building
and
Universal
Design
into
affordable
housing.
AI
We
also
heard
a
lot
of
questions
raised
at
Buddha
the
hearing
edit
and
at
other
sessions
on
questions
relating
to
qualifying
properties.
We
heard
some
questions
about
exemptions
from
affordable
housing
relating
to
property
taxes
and
how
that
would
work
as
well
as
overall
property
management
and
maintenance.
AI
We
also
heard
a
lot
about
tree
canopy
issues
which
I
know
the
council
hears
a
lot
about
regularly
and
then,
with
the
significance
of
the
number
of
public
comments
that
we
heard
at
the
public
hearing,
there
was
a
lot
of
confusion
about
the
scope
of
the
project,
and
so
a
lot
of
those
details
will
really
be
addressed
as
part
of
the
land
use
code.
Amendment
process
as
staff
starts
developing
specific
regulations
and
works
through
the
rezone
process.
A
So
staff
is
is
moving
forward,
the
recommending
the
commission's
recommendation-
and
so
this
shouldn't
I
don't
think
this
is
going
to
take
a
lot
of
discussion,
but
anybody
have
a
comment
or
question:
okay,
okay,
I
was
wrong
all
right.
Well,
okay,
so
Deputy
Mayor
any
comments
or
questions.
Sure
I
can
kick
us
off.
B
A
B
B
Do
we
have
an
idea,
then
so,
first
of
all,
I
really
appreciate
the
Outreach
to
all
the
many
religious
organizations
and
their
properties,
exactly
how
many
properties
does
that
include
then,
and
I
would
love
to
have
an
understanding
of
all
those
properties
took
advantage,
what
not
looking
for
an
exact
number,
but
what
number
of
affordable
housing
units
could
actually
be
created
if
they
all
did
take
advantage
of
it,
I
think
they'll
be,
would
would
be
interesting
and
then
the
other
question
would
be
just
about
on
the
feedback,
so
I'm
getting
the
sense
Tara.
B
Based
on
the
your
comments
that
Bellevue
residents
have
some
strong
concerns
about
this
or
their
Bellevue
residents.
Also
in
support
of
this,
or
for
the
most
part,
were
we
hearing
concerns
about.
You
know,
as
as
you
express
here,
the
Privacy,
the
traffic
et
cetera,
et
cetera,
I'm
sure
it
was
a
mix
of
both,
but
I
would
but
would
just
love
to
get
your
take
on
that.
AI
Absolutely
relating
to
the
community
feedback:
I'd
say
it
was
a
mix.
We
heard
a
lot
from
the
non-profits
as
well
within
Bellevue.
AI
In
support
of
it,
we
also
heard
support
from
community
members
really
advocating
the
need
for
affordable
housing.
We
of
course
heard
a
lot
about
a
lot
from
the
community
as
well
relating
to
concerns
and
I
will.
I
will
mention
that
planning
Commissioners
recommended
that
staff
create
kind
of
an
FAQ
on
the
web
page
that
provided
responses
to
a
lot
of
the
questions
that
were
raised
at
the
meeting.
C
AI
AI
In
terms
of
the
eligible
properties,
I
believe,
are
they
27
a
meal?
Do
you
recall
28.
AI
I,
do
not
have
the
number
but
I'm
happy
to
provide
that
to
you.
We
did
that
analysis
as
part
of
our
CPA
review
yeah
in
terms
of
the
maximum
number
of
Properties
or
units
that
that
could
be
constructed
if
we,
if
they
were
to
to
really
take
advantage
of
the
maximum
density,
so
go
up
to
say
an
R30
density,
okay,
great,
so
happy
to
provide
that
to.
B
AI
To
take
advantage
of
this
staff
has
been
meeting
with
with
the
number
of
religious
organizations
who've
expressed
an
interest.
J
Yeah
I'm
very
excited
about
this.
It's
a
you
know.
It's
been
a
little
while
since
2017
and
we've
had
this
and
worked
very
well.
I
really
appreciate
the
staff
and
and
commission
work
on
this,
and
you
know
we're
at
a
point
and,
and
we
just
it
was
kind
of
hard
getting
it
started,
but
with
the
changes
with
the
faith-based
community
properties
and
I,
think
that
kind
of
thing
it's
a
and
I
think
it
took
a
while
for
people
to
get
to
get
the
concept
in
mind
and
I.
J
Think
you
put
together
a
very
well-grounded
proposal.
Obviously,
people
are
going
to
have
concerns
with
change
and-
and
you
know
those
that's-
we
need
to
have
those
conversations
and
it
sounds
like
what
I've
seen
some
of
the
other
stuff
that
the
the
reports
are
or
the
recommendations
or
comments
from
the
public
is
pretty
much
favored.
J
Let's,
let's
do
something
like
we
need
to
do
this,
but
there
are
concerns
and
I
think
you
know,
as
we
do
in
any
any
of
these
things,
and
we
built
a
lot
of
this
kind
of
housing
in
the
city
that
we
we
address.
Those
issues
and
things
so
I'm
very
pleased
with
it
and
I'm
ready
to
go
forward
and
be
pleased
to
make
the
motion
when
it's
time
that
turn
at
that.
D
I
think
that
the
goals
set
forth
in
the
compound
policies
are
really
well
written.
The
public
comments
that
we
had
both
written
and
oral,
were
fairly
evenly
split
with
maybe
slightly
more
on
the
negative
column.
But
the
thing
about
the
negative
comments
really
wasn't
about
the
idea
of
it.
D
It
was
really
about
the
details
and
the
comp
plan
policies
are
not
about
the
details,
they're
about
the
idea
of
it,
the
land
use
code
which
will
come
to
the
Planning
Commission
and
then
the
council
next
year
is
where
all
those
details
are
things
like
whether
there's
going
to
be
a
landscape
buffer,
whether
there's
going
to
be
you
know
how
close
to
Transit,
you
know
distance
and
frequency,
it
needs
to
be
to
qualify
for
density.
The
you
know,
parking
the
scale,
the
scope,
the
size
fitting
making
it
fit
with
the
neighborhood
setbacks.
D
Shading,
all
that
stuff
is
in
the
land
use
code.
So
I
am
very,
very
confident
that
we
can
pass
this
policy
when
it
comes
back
to
us
in
final
form
and
that
we
can
then
have
a
very
robust
discussion
and
thoughtful
approach
to
the
land
use
code.
Both
the
Planning,
Commission
and
Council
and
come
up
with
a
land
use
code
that
really
serves
the
public,
serves
the
people
that
need
more
housing
and
and
serves
the
neighbors
of
these
properties.
Very,
very
well.
I
Thank
you,
mayor,
I
support.
It
I
think
all
the
points
have
been
made
so
but
that's
important.
Thank
you.
Y
It's
getting
late,
I
noticed
that
the
council
member's
entities
dropping
and
I
hope
you
can
speak
a
little
bit
louder.
So
I
can
hear
more
clearly
anyway.
C
Y
Support
this
policy,
of
course,
we
will
do
but
I'm
just
curious
in
terms
of
some
questions
presented
by
the
public.
One
is,
what's
the
taxation
situation:
do
these
properties
have
to
pay
taxes?
I
I,
don't
know
what
does
that
mean
it's,
because
how
does
public
is
going
to
be
operated?
Second
question
is
management
and
maintenance
and
I'm
again
curious
what
you
know
I
understand,
affordable
housing
is
just
whatever
usually
going
to
be.
You
know,
either
individually
or
collectively
so
I
don't
know
how
that
applies
to
management
and
maintenance.
AI
I'm
trying
to
recall
specifically
relating
to
the
tax
exemption
question
I,
believe
that
was
at
our
virtual
virtual
session
with
the
community
and
my
recollection
was
they
were.
They
were
asking
specifically
whether
these
properties
would
be
eligible
for
a
tax
exemption
which,
of
course,
city
does
not
have
the
authority
to
to
do
that.
AI
So
that
does
not.
That
does
not
apply
in
terms
of
the
questions.
Comments
relating
to
property
management
and
maintenance,
just
general
questions
about
how
the
various
affordable
housing
potential,
affordable,
housing
properties
that
may
get
projects
that
may
get
developed,
how
they'd
be
maintained
on
an
ongoing
basis
and,
of
course
that
depends
on
the
type
of
affordable
housing
projects.
But
typically
it's
you
know:
the
property
manager,
that's
responsible
for
overall
property
maintenance
on
an
ongoing
basis.
E
A
Great
council
members
on.
V
Yes,
thank
you
I
too
appreciate
getting
to
this
phase
two,
and
you
know
working
on
how
we
make
sure
that,
when
I
look
at
this
map,
what
I
see
is
when
we
talk
about
housing
choices
throughout
the
city.
This
is
what
we're
talking
about
right,
that
this
map
really
creates
an
opportunity
to
have
more
affordable
housing
throughout
the
city.
I
had
a
couple
of
questions
and,
and
one
probably
because
I
missed
it
completely.
It
seemed
like
earlier
we
were
referring
to
these
as
faith-owned
properties.
Now
we're
using
the
word
religious
so
was
just.
V
Is
that
a
nomenclature
that
we
pivoted
to,
because
it
because
I
thought
that
we
were
not
using
the
word
religious,
because
it
was
a
narrower
definition
than
Faith
owned,
but
maybe
I'm
out
to
lunch
there
and
and
then.
My
second
question
is
so
when
we
have
a
church
like
St
Peter's,
where
I
remember
that
they've
done
a
lot
in
the
community
related
to
emergency
shelter,
I
mean
I,
remember
volunteering
there
and
they
and
if
there's
an
interest
for
them
to
leverage
their
property
for
affordable
housing.
V
Is
there
a
pathway
for
them
to
get
to
a
yes
or
is
it
one
of
those
where,
because
they're,
a
purple,
dot,
they're
not
eligible,
and
therefore
we're
done
talking
so
I'd
really
like
to
understand
that,
because,
when
I
think
about
the
number
of
properties,
just
because
they're
eligible
doesn't
mean
that
that
particular
organization
is
ready
or
willing
to
do
something.
So
if
we
actually
have
a
willing
and
and
really
quite
excited
organization,
I
am
trying
to
understand
what
it
would
take
to
get
to
a
yes.
V
It
looks
like
in
the
map
the
reason
they
are
a
no
is
because
they're
not
within
the
frequent
Transit
network,
but
they
are
a
place
where
they're
adjacent
to
a
multi-family
unit,
and
it
seems
like
maybe
we
should
be
advocating
for
frequent
transit
to
be
down
there
so
that
those
that
are
living
there
actually
have
better
access
to
Transit
and
so
I
guess.
My
my
question
is:
how
does
that
work
when
we
have
a
willing
organization
and
they
don't
quite
fit?
Is
there
still
a
pathway
for
them.
AH
Oh
yeah,
to
answer
that
one
yeah
regarding
some
of
the
properties
that
don't
meet
the
criteria
right
now,
that's
going
to
be
part
of
our
process
as
we
work
through
some
of
the
details
in
the
Luca
to
see.
If
there's
any
flexibility
in
those
specific
land
use
code
criteria.
So
we've
been
using
general
criteria
in
this
work
to
do
the
policy
level
and
the
sepa
that
goes
along
with
it,
but
we'll
be
able
to
to
see
other
properties
out
there
and
see
if
there
is
any
flexibility
in
the
in
these
specific
criteria.
V
Okay,
so
this
map
that
we
have
right
now
of
qualifying
sites,
it
is
not
then
locked
in
stone,
then
there's
still
potential
for
as
we
work
through
the
Luca
that
this
map
would
be
updated.
Then
yeah.
AH
That's
exactly
right.
We
wanted
to
have
something
to
to
do
the
analysis
on
as
far
as
the
the
environmental
review
just
for
the
policy,
so
we
had
to
have
a
starting
point
and
that's
all
in
the
public
record
what
our
starting
point
is,
but
as
we
work
with
the
the
Commissioners
in
public,
there
might
be
some
slight
modifications
to
that
as
needed,
and
clearly
we
would
need
to
do
additional
seep
on
that
as
well.
V
Okay,
that
would
be
great
because
I
think
that
you
know
sometimes
we
we
have
lots
of
great
intentions
in
in
our
codes,
but
if
we
don't
have
a
willing
property
owner,
nothing
happens,
and
this
is
one
that
is
quite
excited
to
get
going.
Thank.
AH
You
yeah
and
then,
as
as
far
as
the
the
definition
of
the
the
religious
or
organization
and
faith-based
properties,
we
did
work
closely
with
the
city
attorney's
office
to
make
sure
we
were
putting
the
correct
language
that
made
sense
in
these
policies.
But
we
had
that
exact
discussion
at
the
staff
level.
Okay,.
A
Okay,
well
I'm,
all
for
it
really
can't
wait
to
get
going.
So.
Thank
you
any
is
there
a
motion.
Yeah.
A
J
J
A
A
This
is
the
the
affordable
housing
tools
update
that
which
we
had
to
skip
from
last
last
week.
So
how
fast.
W
Punched-
oh
it's
easy
to
forget
me,
but
okay,
so
this
is
an
informational
update
on
some
of
the
tools
that
will
be
coming
towards
you
for
in
December,
for
the
council
to
have
for
the
conversations
about,
and
so
this
is
to
get
everybody
on
the
same
page
and
get
grounded
in
these
tools
before
they
come
back
to
the
council.
So
with
that
I'm
just
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
over
to
Michael
cotterman,
the
director
of
the
Community
Development.
AE
Go
ahead,
kick
this
off!
Thank
you,
team
manager,
Miyake
and
good
evening,
mayor
Robinson,
Deputy,
Mayor,
new
in
house
and
members
of
the
council
as
Mr
Miyake
noted.
This
is
an
informational
item,
we're
not
requesting
or
recommending
any
Council
action
or
Direction.
At
this
time.
We
really
want
to
provide
information
on
a
couple
of
affordable
housing
tools
that
we've
talked
about
in
various
forms.
AE
We
haven't
really
had
a
an
in-depth
discussion
of
those
because
these
will
be
coming
before
council
at
some
point
in
the
future,
we'll
be
asking
you
to
give
us
some
direction
or
make
some
decisions
at
that
point.
So
tonight
we
just
want
to
have
a
discussion
about
those
excuse
me
this
actually
comes
out
of
the
commercial
linkage
fee
that
was
on
the
list
of
next
right
work
that
we
brought
to
you
last
July
that
we
deferred.
AE
We
said
we
needed
to
do
some
more
research
on
that
which
we've
done,
and
since
that
time
there's
also
been
conversations
between
the
proponents
and
opponents
of
that
idea
and
they're
willing
to
express
a
willingness
to
explore
a
commercial
fee
in
lieu
rather
than
a
linkage
fee,
and
there
is
a
distinction
that
would
go
toward
affordable
housing
when
we
talk
about
a
commercial
fee
and
Lou,
as
you've
heard
me
say
before,
this
is
really
one
side
of
a
two-sided
coin,
the
other
side
being
more
of
the
inclusionary
zoning
is
sort
of
part
of
that
package.
AE
So
we
thought
it
best
to
bring
all
of
that
to
you
this
evening,
so
you
could
talk
about
it.
The
entire
thing
in
context,
thank
you
for
advancing
the
slides.
For
me.
I
always
forget
about
those,
so
these
are
added
tools
for
the
toolbox,
but
they
don't
all
work
in
the
same
way
or
necessarily
work
in
the
same
situations.
AE
One
aspect
they
do
all
have
in
common,
however,
is
that
they
all
require
an
increase
in
the
development
capacity
in
order
to
be
employed,
and
since
those
are
some
of
the
items
that
will
be
coming
to
you,
those
opportunities
to
increase
development
capacity
with
some
of
the
next
right
work,
as
well
as
through
the
comprehensive
plan,
the
Wolverton
plan,
the
Bell
red
update,
those
are
all
opportunities
that
we
want
the
council
to
be
aware
of.
So
we
can
give
you
this
information
and
you'll
excuse.
AE
As
was
noted,
I
think
by
a
speaker
earlier,
once
those
have
the
capacity
has
been
granted.
We
can't
come
back
and
capture
that
later,
so
this
the
the
opportunities
are
when
we
first
started.
That
so
is
each
opportunity,
for
these
tools
arises.
Staff
will
be
exploring
their
applicability
and
provide
you
with
an
analysis
of
the
pros
and
cons
related
to
the
specific
situation
and
the
policy
choices
for
you
to
make
at
that
time.
AE
So,
with
that
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
Emil
who's
going
to
walk
us
through
part
of
this,
and
also
this
evening
we
have
Liz
stead
the
co-interim
director
for
development
services
to
help
walk
you
through
all
of
this
as
well,
and
then
we're
looking
for
any
questions
that
you
have
for
us
this
evening.
We'll
try
to
answer
as
best
we
can,
but
we
can
also
come
back
to
you
with
that
information.
AE
AH
Thank
you
Michael,
so
our
agenda
for
tonight
is
to
do
a
very
brief
background
on
some
of
these
tools.
We'll
briefly
cover
the
next
right
work
that
we
got
Direction
on
from
Council
earlier
this
year,
a
bit
of
a
refresher
on
the
comp
plan
periodic
update
process.
You
know
when
these
tools
might
be
able
to
be
used
in
the
future,
or
they
might
make
sense
and
then
a
refresher
on
some
of
the
inclusionary
housing
definitions
that
we
have
out.
AH
There
is
going
to
be
really
important,
we'll
then
move
on
to
the
state
policy
framework
for
inclusionary
zoning
and
how
that
relates
to
how
each
City
can
actually
implement
it
with
their
local
policy
Direction
and
then
in
the
packet.
We
do
have
some
examples
of
inclusionary
zoning,
we're
going
to
focus
on
the
presentation
on
some
of
the
East
Side
programs
and
highlight
Bellevue,
Redmond
and
Kirkland,
and
then
finally,
we'll
come
back
to
the
implementation.
Consideration
slide
that
Michael
just
went
over.
AH
So
the
affordable
housing
next
right
work
was
discussed
by
Council
in
on
July
5th,
and
we
got
the
direction
to
move
forward
with
a
number
of
items
we
were
able
to
to
launch
the
removing
barriers
to
micro
departments
on
October.
10Th
staff
is
well
underway
with
doing
that
that
work
right
now,
so
we
have
work
sessions
that
we're
working
on,
and
then
you
did
give
direction
tonight
as
planned
on
the
the
C1
phase
two.
So
that
was
the
other
part
of
our
ongoing
work.
AH
Some
of
the
things
to
keep
in
mind
on
the
next
right
work
is:
it
relates
to
inclusionary.
Zoning
is
when
we
get
into
things
such
as
the
allowing
higher
far
for
residential
and
thinking
about,
if
there's
any
affordable
housing
Provisions
that
we
want
to
be
thinking
about
on
that
effort,
as
well
as
when
we
get
into
some
of
the
Dadu
Adu
duplex
Triplex
other
examples
there.
Thinking
about
how
that
might
relate
to
inclusionary
provisions.
AH
We
wanted
to
just
give
a
refresher
on
where
we're
at
with
the
next
drive
work.
This
table
right
here
in
blue,
shows
the
direction
we
got
from
Council.
You
know
these
these
topics.
This
also
includes
the
Capacity
Analysis
down
there
at
the
bottom.
That
will
be
providing
an
update
to
Council
on
December
12th,
and
the
goal
here
was
to
get
some
more
capacity
to
actually
be
able
to
tackle
all
the
blue
items
on
this
on
this
list.
AH
AH
AH
So
I'm
going
to
go
into
a
little
bit
of
detail
on
the
inclusionary
housing
definitions,
so
here
here
they
are
on
the
slide
and
the
the
goal
here
is
to
get
a
common
understanding
of
what
we
mean
by
inclusionary
Housing
Programs.
They
are
aimed
at
providing
income
restricted
units
generally
below
the
80
Ami
level,
but
sometimes
they
can
go
up
to
the
100
Ami
level
for
for
ownership
units.
AH
There
are
a
wide
variety
of
programs
out
there.
So,
as
you
read
through
the
packet
and
you
hear
tonight,
you
know
different
cities
have
different
approaches
for
how
they
want
to
implement
policies
locally,
and
there
is
that
flexibility
with
the
state
enabling
law
they
can
include
residential,
commercial
and
mixed
use
development
as
far
as
participating
in
incentive
programs,
and
there
can
be
both
voluntary
as
mandatory
as
you
know,
about
how
you
might
want
to
implement
things
locally.
AH
If
for
any
given
City
there's
also
the
the
term
on-site
performance,
and
that
means
that
the
affordable
units
are
actually
provided
in
in
the
in
the
project.
There's
also
Provisions
that
some
cities
use
for
off-site
performance,
and
that
means
you
might
do
the
affordable
units
that
might
otherwise
be
required
in
the
project
somewhere
else.
AH
A
little
bit
on
the
Washington
State
policy
framework,
so
the
state
growth
management
act
does
allow
cities
to
adopt
local,
affordable
housing
incentive
systems.
The
key
provision
here
is
that
they
they
as
that
new
or
amended
local
incentive
systems,
occur
when
you're
increasing
development
capacity.
So
you
heard
about
that
during
the
oral
comments
and
that's
our
main
thrust
here
is,
as
we
have
potential
increased
development
capacity
projects
coming
forward.
AH
It's
good
to
be
thinking
about
how
we
want
to
talk
about
affordable
housing
as
part
of
those
the
state
Provisions
do
allow
up
to
80
Ami
for
rental
and
100
Ami
for
ownership
based
on
local
market
conditions.
Otherwise
it
is
at
the
50
and
80
percent
levels
and
in
Loop,
payments
for
residential
and
office
or
commercial
are
allowed
based
on
the
local
preference
or
policy
Direction.
AH
As
far
as
how
long
the
affordability
is,
the
minimum
is
50
years
of
affordability
in
most
cities,
including
Bellevue,
due
to
the
life
of
the
project
and
then
down
there
in
the
the
local
implementation,
individual
cities
as
you'll
be
yeah
and
yeah.
Individual
cities,
as
you'll,
hear,
have
their
their
own
local
policy
about
how
they'd
like
to
to
implement
their
incentive
systems
in
Bellevue.
The
direction
is
to
encourage
affordable
housing
through
incentives.
AH
So
this
is
a
a
slide
that
was
in
your
packet,
so
I
won't
go
into
too
much
detail
on
this,
but
it
does
show
a
summary
of
the
East
Side
inclusionary
housing
systems.
Nine
of
the
the
arch
member
jurisdictions
currently
have
adopt
adopted
programs,
and
you
can
see
them
in
the
table.
You'll
see
a
mix
of
voluntary
and
mandatory
systems,
along
with
pretty
different
approaches
on
how
they
want
to
focus
on
different
Ami
levels,
depending
on
City
policy.
AH
In
addition,
some
of
the
cities
have
made
changes
over
time
and
and
have
begun
to
layer
incentives,
on
top
of
other
incentives
to
achieve
deeper
affordability,
given
the
greater
demand
for
units
below
that
80
Ami
level.
An
example
of
this
is
in
Bellevue
when
you
adopted
your
mfde
Provisions.
The
overlapping
units
actually
had
to
be
65
percent
Ami
instead
of
the
80
Ami
and
then,
in
contrast
to
Seattle
the
East
King.
AH
AH
So
in
the
city
of
Kirkland,
they've
used
on-site
performance
for
putting
a
focus
of
their
programs.
They
do
allow
partial
units
to
to
do
a
fee
and
Lou
to
be
paid,
and
then
they
collect
those
monies
and
use
it
to
do
their
own
city-led
projects
or
contribute
it
to
Arch.
Kirkland's
program
is
notable
for
its
focus
on
the
deeper
affordability.
AH
And
then,
as
far
as
Redmond
system,
Redmond
has
had
mandatory
inclusionary
zoning,
at
least
in
part
of
their
City
since
1993
and
the
the
program
was
first
applied
to
their
downtown
sub-area,
with
requirement
for
10
at
the
80
Ami
level.
And
then
in
recent
years
it's
been
expanded
to
cover
all
but
two
of
the
City
of
Redmond
neighborhoods
and
notably,
has
included
lower
density
single-family
areas
which
they've
enabled
the
creation
of
new,
affordable
home
ownership
units
and
then
similar
to
Kirkland.
AM
AM
There
we
go
sorry
about
that.
I'll
blame
it
on
the
the
time
of
the
evening,
so
just
quickly,
I
wanted
to
go
through
some
of
the
history
of
inclusionary
zoning
in
Bellevue,
and
also
the
mft
program
that
we
have
currently
so
in
1991.
As
some
of
the
commenters
this
evening
mentioned,
the
city
council
adopted
inclusionary
Zoning
for
all
new
residential
developments
that
had
10
or
more
units
or
Lots,
and
these
amendments
did
apply
to
senior
housing
projects
but
did
not
apply
to
nursing
homes.
AM
The
provisions
allowed
for
up
to
15
percent,
additional
density
beyond
the
underlying
zoning,
with
provision
of
10
or
more
units
that
met
80,
Ami
and
also
at
the
same
time,
properties
that
were
rezoned
were
also
required
to
provide
this
affordable
housing
bonus,
and
that
was
equal
to
20
percent
of
the
additional
density
that
they
got
through
the
resump
four
years
later.
In
1995,
the
land
use
code
was
amended
and
at
that
point
they
dropped
the
requirement
for
the
additional
set-aside
in
the
case
of
a
rezone.
AM
So
it
did
only
apply
to
new
projects
and
then
five
years
after
that,
the
inclusionary
zoning
and
land
use
code
amendments
were
repealed
and
it
left
a
voluntary
bonus
available
for
multi-family
development,
which
still
allowed
for
up
to
15
percent
additional
density
for
the
provision
of
affordable
housing
at
a
one-to-one
ratio
with
affordable
units
and
market
rate
units.
We
have
seen
some
utilization
of
that
code
policy,
but
not
much
so.
There
have
been
a
couple
of
projects
in
the
downtown
that
have
taken
advantage
of
that.
It
is
still
in
the
land
use
code.
Today.
AM
Moving
forward
to
more
current,
our
more
recent
code,
Amendments
have
included
a
mix
of
voluntary,
far
bonuses
fee
and
loop
programs
and
multi-family
tax
exemption
in
2009
Council
adopted
the
Bell
red
land
use
code
and
those
amendments
led
to
significant
changes
in
the
neighborhood
and
with
that
increased
density
also
allowed
us
to
look
at
some
inclusionary
zoning,
and
at
that
time
the
council
adopted
an
amenity
incentive
system
that
sought
to
prioritize
affordable
housing,
and
so
it
provided
a
system
that
allowed
for
additional
bonus
development
capacity
for
every
square
foot
of
housing
that
was
provided.
AM
AM
The
maximum
bonus
does
vary
across
the
Bell
red
land
use.
Districts
and
developers
are
able
to
receive
these
benefits
through
a
fee
and
loose
system
or
on-site
performance
in
2015
Council
first
adopted
a
multi-family
tax
exemption
program.
Didn't
have
many
applications
in
the
ensuing
years
and
it
was
revised
in
2018
and
2021.
in.
W
AM
AM
AM
So,
lastly,
I'm
going
to
end
with
a
slide
that
Emil
mentioned
and
as
he
mentioned,
there
are
going
to
be
additional
opportunities
ahead
of
council
to
discuss
and
potentially
utilize
some
of
these
affordable
housing
Tools.
In
each
case,
the
council
will
be
provided
the
opportunity
to
discuss
what
the
public
benefit
would
be.
AM
What
is
the
correct
economic
analysis
to
use
and
what
areas
are
most
beneficial
to
using
these
tools,
as
we've
noted,
there's
many
different
ways
to
incorporate
all
these
tools
and
there's
also
ways
to
layer
the
tools
together
to
create
the
best
results,
so
we're
here
this
evening
for
information
only
and
I
hope
that
we've
been
able
to
provide
a
greater
understanding
for
Council
the
various
tools
available
for
this
consideration.
I
will
turn
this
over
now
back
to
you,
mayor,
Robinson
and
Anil,
and
Michael
and
I
are
here
for
any.
A
E
I
Have
excuse
me
one
question
and
then
one
comment
so
when
we
had
mandatory
inclusionary
zoning
from
my
numbers
looks
like
we
were:
226
units
were
developed
in
that
five-year
period
and
then
over
the
26
years,
since
it
was
discontinued,
269
units,
including
the
ones
in
the
pipeline,
we're
developed
or
in
the
pipeline.
I
AE
The
question
the
best
way
I
can
characterize
it
is
there
are
several
tools
available
to
the
city?
That's
one!
That's
very
effective!
It's
a
policy
decision
on
the
part
of
the
council
and
as
far
as
the
targets
we
haven't
set
new
targets,
yet
either
that's
something
that
will
be
done
as
part
of
the
comprehensive
plan.
So
we
set
a
goal
in
the
affordable
housing
strategy
of
2500
units
in
10
years.
We're
on
a
path
to
achieve
that.
AE
The
council
has
also
talked
about
increasing
that
goal,
so
it
really
depends
on
where
that
goal
is
set
and
what
other
tools
the
council
decides
to
use.
So
is
it?
Is
it
a
fatal
flaw
if
we
don't
use
it
Etsy,
not
necessarily,
but
it's
certainly
going
to
be
much
easier
to
reach
it.
If
we
have
more
tools
in
the
toolbox
that
are
proven
effective,
as
this
one
has
been.
I
AE
I
You
know
I,
think,
excuse
me
I
two
things
one,
you
know
I
know
in
the
affordable
housing
strategy
we
looked
at
what
could
be
developed
with
the
tools.
I.
Would
I
really
hope
that
we
take
a
look
at
what
tools
can
get
us
to
our
Target
and
then
the
other
one
is
I.
Would
I
mentioned
this
one
other
time
like
maybe
over
a
year
ago,
but
I
think
it'd
be
interesting
to
look
at
triggers.
I
So,
for
example,
you
know
I
know,
there's
less
interest
in
mandatory
inclusionary
zoning,
but
it
is
an
effective
tool.
You
know.
So,
if
we
look
at
you
know
some
of
the
more
preferred
tools
are
they
producing
check-in
at
a
at
some
point?
If
it's
not,
then
something
like
mandatory
inclusionary
zoning
kicks
in
so
really
trying
to
focus
on
that
outcome.
Whatever
those
targets
are
and
figure
out
strategies
to
get
us
there.
AE
And
we'd
have
to
explore
some
of
the
legal
requirements
of
that
because,
as
I
mentioned,
if
we
don't
do
it
when
we
Grant
the
additional
capacity
I've
never
heard
of
that
being
done
as
a
trigger
before
so
I'm,
not
going
to
look
at
our
City
attorney,
but
I
will
be
following
up
with
our
City
attorney
to
find
out
if
that's
something
that
can
be
written
in
at
that
time
and
that
it's
still
still
constitutional
to
do
that.
That's
it's
a
great
idea
and
a
great
question.
I
just
don't
know
offhand.
V
I
think
this
is
a
very
thoughtful
set
of
menu
of
choices
and
tools
for
us
to
look
at
and
I
agree
with
my
colleague
that
it's
about
outcomes
and
not
opportunities,
because
we
have
all
kinds
of
language
in
there,
but
just
like
I
was
mentioning
with
St
Peter's
right.
There's,
there's
somebody
who's
interested
in
doing
something.
How
can
we
make
something
work?
V
My
what
I'm
curious
about
is
in
the
summary
of
the
East
Side
programs.
It
looks
like
the
cities
around
us
all:
have
mandatory
inclusionary
housing.
What
kind
of
outcomes
are
they
are
they
come?
Are
they
seeing
in
those
cities
around
affordable
housing,
and
is
that
something
you
can
come
back
because
I'm
curious
about
as
we
look
at
these
other
cities,
how
successful
they've
been
at
getting
affordable
housing
or
is
that
in
there
already.
A
V
Conversation
by
the
other
cities
by
the
other
cities,
so
on
page
10
it
has
the
other
cities
and
I
think
it
would
be
helpful
to
get
a
sense
for
a
look.
How
many
units
are
they
have
they
been
successful
at
delivering
and
then
I
like
the
fact
that
in
here
we
talk
about
rentals
and
Home
Ownership
I.
Think
that's
an
important
piece:
I,
don't
remember
where
it
ended
up,
but
I
thought
in
East
Main.
Wasn't
there
a
concept
the
mayor
brought
up
about
a
deed
in
lieu
and
is
that
alive
somewhere?
V
Okay,
so
those
are
my
questions,
I'm,
really
glad
that
we
have
are
keeping
all
of
these
options
open
for
us
to
consider,
because
I
I
really
think
it's
going
to
be
all
hands
on
deck,
and
so
it's
not
just
the
units
that
are
residential,
it's
also
the
commercial
and
how
it
is
part
of
the
whole
in
terms
of
the
jobs
and
housing
balance.
So
thank
you.
Okay,.
A
Thank
you,
so
I'm
gonna
want
to
I'm
curious
as
to
how
we
would
set
a
fee
in
lieu
that
would
really
incentivize
people
to
do
the
development
and
not
just
give
an
easy
out
without
real
compensating
for
the
affordable
housing
that
we
need
so
I'm
curious
about
that
I'd
love
to
examine
the
performance
of
the
kind
of
what
our
my
council
members
have
previously
said
about.
A
The
mandatory
inclusionary
housing
versus
an
optional
inclusion
in
Area
Housing
versus
an
mfte
versus
layering
of
incentives
and
then
with
the
mandatory
inclusionary
housing
I'm
curious
as
to
what
you
would
recommend
that
goes
hand
in
hand
with
this,
so
that
people
don't
just
stop
developing
housing
that
you
know
we
make
it
sure
that
we're
getting
housing
developed
and,
if
there's
some
kind
of
office
to
housing
ratio
that
we
want
to
have
how
we
get
that
and
then
I
just
think.
Just
a
comment.
A
When
we
talk
about
voluntary,
affordable
housing
in
I
mean
it
being
optional
in
Bel,
Red
and
East
Maine
I
mean
it's
optional,
but
we
have
a
very
low
starting
point.
I
mean
it
really
is
pretty
mandatory
for
anybody
who
wants
to
develop
anything
successfully.
So,
even
though
we
we
say
it's
optional,
we
don't
mandate
it.
Everybody
who
wants
to
develop
is
going
to
use
it,
because
that's
the
only
way
they're
going
to
get
to
the
heights
that
they
want
or
the
far
so
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that.
AE
Yeah
and
that's
a
good
point
and
Bel
Red
is
in
Bel
Red.
That's
really
the
key
to
the
success
of
that
and
it's
important
if
we
do
use
some
type
of
a
system
like
that
that
we
set
the
base
far
at
a
level
that
is
going
to
encourage
them
to
go
beyond
that.
Otherwise
we
won't
get
the
additional
fir
or
the
additional,
affordable
housing
right.
B
Great
conversation
question
so
far
that
I'd
be
interested
in
knowing
the
answers
to
as
well
so
I
think
it's
a
lot
of
overlap.
There.
B
Of
these
similar
questions,
so
I
won't
ask
them
again,
but
yeah
look
forward
to
diving
into
this
deeper
you're,
giving
us
a
lot
of
different
options.
B
I
I
too,
am
most
curious
about
the
the
different
layering
and
the
voluntary
versus
mandatory
I.
Think
there'll
be
some
some
tough
conversations
there
and
then
also,
as
the
the
mayor
touched
on,
the
incentives
it'd
be
great.
If
we
can
do
further
now
to
analysis
there,
so
we
can
hit
it
right
right
out
of
the
gate.
B
I
know
that's
a
bit
of
a
a
challenge,
but
you
know
if
we
look
at
the
success
of
mfte,
but
we
had
to
go
through
what
one
or
two
versions
before
we
got
there
and
finally,
we
got
we
hit
that
incentive
right
and
now
it's
really
paying
off
for
us
so
and
then
and
and
I
guess,
I,
don't
know
if
the
economic
downturn
plays
into
this
at
all
versus
a
consideration
that
we
need
to
be
thinking
talking
about
as
well.
That
could
impact
what
tools
or
what
levers
we
we
look
at.
B
Maybe
that's
something
to
consider
there
so
I'd
love
to
get
staff's
feedback
on
that.
If
that's
something
that
we
should
consider
at
this
time,
or
perhaps
not
so
but
yeah
great
great
job
today,
thanks
for
sticking
with
us,
thank
you.
J
Yeah,
it's
a
great
conversation
and
I'm,
really
looking
forward
to
I
was
moving
on
these
and
again
it's
it's
really
exciting,
to
see
us
putting
all
this
stuff
in
place
and
and
how
it
moves
around
and
and
we're
and
you've
adapted
very
well
to
the
changes
from
just
the
six
years
ago.
I
mean
this
is
not
the
same
place
and
all
and
and
the
deputy
mayor's
comments
about
the
impact
of
of
the
downturn
and
all
is
something
to
figure
in
there,
but
I.
What
I'm
hoping
is
that
we
we
look
at
that
carefully.
J
So
it's
going
to
be
an
interesting,
interesting
thing
to
see,
but
I
do
get
to
feel
that
even
within
the
community,
the
the
momentum
is
towards
more
affordable
housing
up
and
down
the
line,
and
it's
something
we
don't
address,
and
now,
four
or
five
years
from
now
we're
going
to
be
in
big
trouble
and
so
I
think
we'll
we
can
work
through
that
and
having
a
better
relationship
with
the
commercial
business
Community
up.
Both
small
and
big
is
very
important.
J
We're
doing
that
so
I'm
I'm,
very
optimistic
that
we're
on
a
real
good
path
to
actually
meeting
well.
Our
goal
is,
obviously
you
know
long
out
of
of
not
really
a
good
goal,
so
we're
working
further
on
it,
but
I
think
we're
in
a
good
path
on
this
and
appreciate
the
way
you
put
this
all
together
and
and
the
way
that
the
I
think
the
council
is
really
working
together
on.
J
How
do
we
address
this
and
it's
something
that
you
know
the
business
Community
is
concerned
with,
so
we
have
great
opportunities
and
thank
you
very
much
for
the
work.
Thank.
A
A
Sorry,
councilmember
Lee.
Y
C
Y
We've
gone
through
this.
Obviously
many
other
cities
come
through
this.
The
question
is
that
you
know
to
me:
you
know
number
one.
What's
the
goal.
Yes,
we
need
to
figure
that
out,
you
know,
but
that's
really,
probably
the
easiest
one.
We
know
we
are
short,
so
we
just
set
a
number.
We
got
to
shoot
for
it,
but
to
get
there,
we
need
to
have
the
right
kind
of
tools.
So
that's
the
key
and
that's
I
appreciate
I
like
to
find
out
more.
Y
You
know
this
is
the
opportunity
for
us
to
look
at
that
and
what
is
important
to
me.
You
finding
the
right
tool
is
sustainability.
You
know
we
can
always
come
up
with
something
that
might
fit
for
for
the
moment
because
of
the
condition
right
now.
You
know
because
it's
a
situation
where
we
are,
but
if
we
want
to
sustain
this,
continue
to
keep
on
having
affordable
housing,
that's
a
balance,
supply
and
demand.
You
know
I
believe
that
we
need
to
figure
out
what
is
the
way
to
get
that
sustainability.
Y
So,
similarly
to
me,
you
know,
is
people
willing
willing
to
do
that?
People
want
to
move
here?
You
know
it
has
depends
on
the
economy
if
the
people
want
to
move
to
Bellevue.
We
have
also
units
housing
units,
but
we
assume
that
we
continue
to
have
business
coming.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
we
have
a
balance.
We
understand
what
it
is
and
we
motivate
the
supplies,
the
suppliers,
the
builders
you
know,
whoever
they
may
be
and
what
we
have
to
provide
them
as
incentives
for
building
it,
and
we
can
force.
